The coaching career started as a college team coach

Some people criticized Cai Huiqiang for exaggerating and saying that there would be no problem at all. Some people felt that they were convinced and were a little worried about the next game of the Wolves. Some people asked Cai Huiqiang why he didn't tell Wei Le when he found this problem.

Cai Huiqiang answered below that he had discussed these topics with Wei Le before, and Wei Le himself was aware of this situation, but the opponents he met before made him not make any adjustments.

What Cai Huiqiang didn't know was whether Wei Le would make any adjustments in this home game against Dortmund.

Cai Huiqiang's analysis was also uploaded to foreign video websites, and his analysis also won the support of some foreign football fans. They also believed that the Wolves did have the characteristics of "high backcourt", but it was hard to say whether this would be used by Dortmund.

Most people are still optimistic that the Wolves will definitely win at home, but Dortmund fans will certainly expect the team they support to perform explosively.

So does Wei Le know about this problem?

Of course he knows.

The concept of a group of high backfield players is not a particularly new concept, but it has only been taken seriously in recent years. In fact, it is also because the means of attack in modern football are gradually enriched, and teams are more inclined to invest more flexible players in the frontcourt, rather than the kind of pillars that can only head the ball hard.

In fact, take Guardiola's Manchester City as an example. Among the frontcourt players, Sterling is 172cm, Aguero is 173cm, Jesus is 175cm, and Sane is taller, at 183cm. These four people are Manchester City's main strikers in the 2017/2018 season.

In the midfield, David Silva and Bernardo Silva are both typical midfielders with short heights, and Gundogan and De Bruyne are just over 180cm tall.

Overall, Guardiola did not put a center forward in the frontcourt, so he relied on the flexibility and technical advantages of the frontcourt players to pull and mobilize the opponent's defense.

If the current Wolves face Manchester City, although Manchester City's frontcourt players will be restricted when receiving the ball, once they get the ball, the shortcomings of the Wolves' backcourt players who are not very flexible will be reflected.

At this time, if some straight passes are played in the ribs, it will be difficult for the Wolves to deal with it.

If the physical energy of both sides is almost consumed in the second half of the game, the physical energy consumed by the Wolves' high center backs is actually more than that consumed by the shorter center backs.

At this time, the Wolves' center backs are more likely to have the so-called "stiffness", the body is more inflexible, and the attention is not focused, so there will definitely be more mistakes.

Therefore, in most cases, the Wolves basically turn to defense after 75 minutes. Unless necessary, they will basically not press forward to launch an attack, in fact, to ensure the stability of the backcourt.

The height of the backcourt is indeed a double-edged sword, and if you want to play to your strengths and avoid weaknesses, Wei Le actually knows how to do it. In fact, it is to modify the structure of the backcourt, even if a short back line player is put in, let him often take on the work of midfield interception, in fact, it can be much better.

Wei Le replaced Doherty as a full-back with Kounde, and often returned to the middle to participate in the work of passing the ball, which was considered to alleviate this situation. In addition, in the league, Tierney was basically used as the starting player, and Alphonso Davies was allowed to rush the opponent's defense line at the last moment.

The previous arrangement was basically the same, and there would not be too many mistakes.

But this time against Dortmund in the intercontinental arena, it can't be so simple.

In the last game, Alphonso Davies started mainly to attack at the beginning, which did have some effect, but it also led to the last stage of the first half. The Wolves were suppressed and played very badly, and Dortmund created a lot of chaos for the Wolves.

In this game, if Dortmund wants to advance, they will definitely attack in the first second of the game and create more away goals in a limited time. Because the Wolves have three away goals, Dortmund must at least score three away goals, which means that a 3-3 draw is not enough, they must play 3-4.

"Since they are going all out, any lineup they send out is not excessive." At the pre-match preparation meeting, Wei Le showed the players several possible Dortmund formations.

He thinks the most likely one is that Dortmund directly sent out a 4-3-2-1 lineup, with Reus and Gotze as the two front midfielders, Weigl in the middle, Castro on the right, and Schurrle on the left.

The striker will be Batshuayi.

In this case, Reus and Gotze will become a huge threat to the Wolves' flanks, and the backcourt will be ready at any time.Weigl may be inserted, and the Wolves' defense line will be under great pressure.

"So, we will also make some special arrangements." Wei Le switched to the next page of PPT, and as soon as this page of PPT was released, the players sitting below exclaimed.

Not because of anything else, but because this lineup basically completely changed the Wolves' backcourt structure!

"Doherty plays at right back, Reuben is the left center back, and Kounde is the right center back." Wei Le said while writing and drawing on the tactical board, "Tierney starts on the left, Alphonso, you take a rest first."

After talking about the back line, he came to the midfield.

Wei Le paused, and suddenly smiled at De Paul, "Is it your chance to play?"

De Paul was eager to try, and saw Wei Le wrote his name in the position of the defensive midfielder.

Next to him was Rodri.

Recently, some commentators said that De Paul had become mediocre and could not play in the Wolves. But what they didn't know was that De Paul was "evolving"!

When De Paul released a training photo in February, everyone realized that De Paul had become much stronger. His arms, which used to look thin and skinny, now seemed to be ripping open his training suit!

At that time, De Paul was sitting on a spinning bike, doing core training. He smiled at the camera with his arms folded. But looking at his well-defined figure, no one would see any affinity from this smile.

He looked like a jade-faced butcher!

Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong. De Paul was originally a winger. He didn't get a chance to play in the Premier League at the beginning because he was a little thin and had no advantage in the frontcourt.

It's also good to exercise.

But Wei Le had a bold plan! He was attracted by De Paul's off-ball running and had a crooked idea long ago - he would never forget the surprised look in De Paul's eyes when he found De Paul to explain his idea.

It was a sunny day, and Wei Le found De Paul with a smile.

"Xiao De, do you want to play as a defensive midfielder?"
