A large group of players were crowded in Wan Sheng's office, all staring at Wan Sheng standing in front of everyone. Wan Sheng was writing and drawing on the tactical board, explaining the team's next tactical training content.*

This is the first tactical lesson in the new season.

Wan Sheng introduced the tactical plan to everyone. This is a more offensive tactic that he formulated to continue the defensive counterattack last season. This is not a brand new tactic. Instead, it expanded the range of the half-court defensive counterattack last season - the whole game, and a direct word on defense to describe it is to press the whole game and counterattack on the spot.

The overall tactics and tactics are actually not much different from the defensive counterattack used last season, but when the defense range is expanded to the entire game, it is not a defensive counterattack at all, but an offensive football with all attacks and defenses.

Wan Sheng’s plan is to play offensive football!

Last season, I chose defense to relegate and better results. Now I play offensive football to upgrade and better results.

This is the tactics Wan Sheng decided to use after considering the team's overall lineup strength.

Although it would be safer to choose to focus on defense, Wan Sheng believes that this is a bit too conservative. Their overall strength is no worse than other teams. If you want to win more games, you naturally have to strengthen your offense. You can win with goals. If all of them are defense, he does not guarantee that the team can always fight back and score goals. When opponents understand Derby County, it becomes very difficult to score goals by relying solely on counterattacks. So Wan Sheng plans to let the team change their minds and play offensive football.

It is still very difficult to turn defensive counterattack into offensive football.

No matter when, the best tactics that are most suitable for the team are the best tactics. This offensive football tactics continue the defensive counterattack idea last season, just expanding the defense range to the whole game, and if you want to defend well, you must have more running.

This is also the purpose of his request for physical training.

If it is just an ordinary tactic. As long as the physical fitness is sufficient to support normal games, it is enough to perform more physical fitness reserves. For example, Ottoman, a player with very good physical fitness will not be too tired in general tactics, but his tactical defense is the whole game, and the pressing of the whole game itself is very physically consuming. He also requires every player to run, run all the time, and use the running of the whole team to block the opponent's attack. If you can't grab it once, you will continue to run and continue to grab it.

This will consume more energy.

On the court, the effect of a person running all the time to defend is not very good, but if everyone does this, their defensive ability can immediately rise to a certain level. It is necessary to play such football so that the defense that expands to the entire game can be effective.

When the range is expanded to the whole game, everyone's defense range is doubled and the gap between players is larger. Defence is naturally much weaker. If everyone cannot run, then the defense will lose its meaning. For those teams who are good at attacking, their defense will be too weak.

Wan Sheng doesn't want to see the team enter that situation. So he requires the whole team to reserve physical fitness.

If you can increase your running and do a good job of defending the whole game, then the offense will be settled, and Wan Sheng requires only one offense. That is, the speed must be fast!

This is a bit like the tactics used in the final stage of the Derby County and Ipswich game. It suddenly accelerates the offensive rhythm, making the opponent very uncomfortable. Then the team took the opportunity to score.

In fact, there are more ideas about winning the offense.

Referring to the offensive methods of each top team, Wan Sheng could think of allowing the team to keep passing the ball, and playing exquisite small-scale cooperation while fast football. The penetrating offense and fast offensive rhythm make no team able to defend this offensive... But this is a bit whimsical. Not to mention that the current Derby County, even the more powerful Premier League mid-range team, cannot play such football at all. The reason is that the players' personal abilities are insufficient, unless the entire team is a world-class star, such as AC Milan, Arsenal, or Barcelona, ​​which has risen in a few years, can play such an offensive.

And Derbyshire...is too far behind.

The strength of the team's ordinary main players is the average level in the League One, not to mention young players like Leiden Bynes and Leto Ziegler. They may become stars in the future and stand out among professional players. Perhaps they have their own uniqueness and will occasionally perform outstandingly on the court. But they are still too young and have too little experience. While they are "outstanding", they are likely to make some mistakes. Wan Sheng's expectations for them are only enough to adapt to tactics at the beginning of the game and catch up with the performance of ordinary players.

In other words, the current team is not much different from other League One teams.

The gap between such a team and the world's top giants is too big. The players' general abilities are insufficient, let alone creativity. So if you want the team to play the ideal offense and ideal football... that is an ideal.

Wan Sheng does not require small-scale cooperation and transmission, more accurate passing, nor can he be able to play exquisite cooperation. He only has one requirement, that is, fast.

After getting the ball, you suddenly change the rhythm of the game and launch the offensive with a fast-paced attack. In this way, the opponent has to adapt to the sudden change of rhythm, which is very beneficial to your side. However, a fast-paced offensive will definitely make more mistakes. Wan Sheng's idea is to let the team adapt first. As long as the team adapts to the tactics and can play a fast-paced offensive, the mistakes will naturally decrease over time.

Wan Sheng does not require the team to be able to do it completely, but he believes that as long as the team can play in a "shape", it will be enough to run wildly in the League One arena.

Wan Sheng knew very well that this tactical idea was actually somewhat ideal. It was a long-term job to make the team adapt to tactics, and it was not enough for more than ten days of training.

But he already had a plan.

The first step is to let everyone know when to do what to do on the field.

This is what the team had to do the other day. It sounds very simple, but in fact, in a set of tactics, everyone knows what to do. For example, when the team is attacking a large scale, should a full-back be inserted forward or stay in the backcourt to prevent the opponent from attacking?

Many times, this requires personal judgment.

But Wansheng has formulated detailed game tasks for everyone and analyzed many situations to encounter on the field. For each person and for each situation, the tactics are detailed and detailed. What players need to do is to follow the tactics and go to the field to do it step by step.

This work is quite heavy.

It is not easy for Wansheng to let players digest these detailed tactics, but he doesn't need the players to record everything, just need them to know their game tasks.

After completing the first step, the team has completed a framework for adapting to the tactics, and then they can start using time and games to lay the foundation.

......

After explaining the tactics in general, formal tactical training begins.

With the help of the "collaboration" skill, the team's tactical training effect will be increased by 100%. In other words, half a month of training is equivalent to one month's effect, and this skill effect brings great confidence to Wan Sheng.

During training, Wansheng will not stay in the office.

He needs to lead the team in person for tactical training and give each player the necessary guidance. He has to do this for all tactical training hours, and his work tasks are also very heavy. Fortunately, many people in the team have some foundation for this set of tactics, and these people are the players who participated in the match against Ipswich last season.

The current tactics are very similar to those of the sudden outbreak when playing against Ipswich.

In comparison, the current tactic is to maintain the pressing and fast attacks of the whole game, but if you have to attack the whole game, it is naturally impossible to keep pressing so far. Basically, it is still to maintain the relative balance of offense and defense. It is said to be offensive football, but the core is the pressing of the whole game.

From a neutral perspective, this tactic is actually too open.

Wan Sheng also discussed this with Diamares. However, the reason why Wan Sheng insisted on doing this is that he has coaching skills. "Resolute interception" can ensure that the team presses better throughout the game, "fast forwarding" can increase the offensive speed of sudden steals, and assisting passive skill "shooting" can also increase the team's goal efficiency. With several bonus effects of offensive and defensive skills, the tactical effect can definitely be performed better.

But Wansheng soon discovered some problems.

The problem is not about the players' adaptation tactics, but about individual players. The biggest problem is Frank Ribery.

In Wansheng's new season planning, Ribery is definitely a very important player. Although he is a full-time forward, he is an important figure in leading the offense because he is fast enough, has excellent skills under his feet, and his dribbling is quite sharp. Such a player was not available in Derby County before. In comparison, Weberson has a considerable gap.

But Ribery is too unique!

Many times Ribery completed a breakthrough, but when it was time to pass the ball, he did not pass the ball, and continued to drive the ball forward. As a result, he took the ball directly to the bottom line and lost the opportunity to pass the ball, and the offense was terminated.

In offense, Ribery's role is to break through and pass the ball.

If he only breaks through but doesn't pass the ball, the breakthrough will lose its meaning, which is almost no different from wasting offensive opportunities. Wan Sheng's requirement is that Ribery breaks through the gap, and with his foot skills, it is easy to do this. If he has the gap, he will pass it for a long pass or hand the ball over to a teammate with a better chance. This is not difficult for Ribery.

As long as Ribery can complete the pass, even a high-skipping pass can be made directly into the penalty area. With the attack connection, it is easy to create opportunities in the penalty area and never have the chance to threaten the goal - both Reit and Cahill are good at heading the ball.

But Ribery did a very bad job of passing. He only knew how to ride the ball in the breakthrough, and he didn't seem to have the awareness of passing the ball. When he occasionally thought about it, he often missed the opportunity.

For this reason, Wan Sheng opened the football training master system and looked at it. Ribery's pass value was 81 points, which was definitely not bad, completely higher than most players.

So he had a headache.

If Ribery was just because of his poor passing ability, he could use the football training master system to accept the player tasks released by the system to improve his passing ability. However, he was completely a problem with playing football habits, and it would be a bit difficult to change.

But he still decided to accept the pass task for Ribery. Ribery's next personal ability training direction is to improve the pass.

Wansheng did this for two reasons.

First, Ribery's passing potential is good, with as many as 95 points, so it can still be improved to around 90 points in personal training. Of course, that takes a lot of time.

The second is to do more pass training, which allows Ribery to try to get used to passing.

It is still difficult to think that this is effective in a short period of time. Wansheng thinks he should talk to Ribery alone.

......

After the training that day, Wan Sheng called Ribery to the office.

Ribery was very nervous. He had gradually become familiar with everyone in the team for about a month. Through communication with everyone, he already knew that if the coach called a player to the office alone, there would be no good things, so he kept lowering his head and recalling where he had made a mistake.

Are you not insane in training?

Life is normal on weekdays, especially after participating in the strange signing, in order to "comply with the team's situation", a reporter came to interview him, and no matter what reporter he was, he refused directly.

There is no problem with training and no problem with the media. Is it because I am not performing well in tactical training?

Ribery thought.

But he didn't expect that when he entered the office, Wan Sheng asked him to sit there. He also handed him a cup of freshly made coffee. He had no habit of drinking coffee, but he knew the goodwill message conveyed by Wan Sheng, and then he heard Wan Sheng speak. "Frank, do you know why you are 24 years old and can only stay in the low league?"

Ribery was stunned and looked at Wan Sheng.

Wan Sheng said to himself, "Your ability is outstanding and outstanding in the team. I can say that your skills are the best in the team now. Especially your extraordinary people, it is very exciting. If you see your wonderful extraordinary people while watching the football, I will definitely applaud."

Ribery didn't understand, was he praising himself?

"But..." Sure enough, Wan Sheng stared at Ribery, and his voice turned around, "Didn't you notice that you rarely pass the ball to others?"

Ribery lowered her head.

This is not the first time he has heard of this question, but he didn't expect that it would be less than a month after the team scored, and the tactical training had just begun. So he explained, "Boss, I know, when I was at the Aless Club, the coach also said it, but..." Ribery paused and continued, "But, I always feel that it's not right to pass more...."

Wan Sheng stared at Ribery.

I just heard Ribery continue, "Sometimes I have thought about passing the ball, but it's hard to play. I think I shouldn't have much talent in this."

Wan Sheng shook his head and said, "You are very talented, and your passes are very good."

"…?" Ribery didn't quite understand.

Wan Sheng naturally couldn't explain the data of the football training master system to him. He just said, "I brought you to my team because I was attracted by your abilities and abilities in all aspects. I believe you will become a big star in the future, Frank." Wan Sheng stared at Ribery's eyes and said, "Do you believe it?"

Ribery was a little excited. His dream was to become a big star. But thinking about his situation, he always felt that this dream was a bit unreal. "Big star? What kind of big star?"

"Like Ronaldo, like Zidane, is such a big star! I believe you will reach that level in the future, but the premise is that you must try to change yourself." Wan Sheng's expression was solemn and serious. He stood up and waved his arm and said, "You must change, and you must succeed! This is the only problem for you to play football. As long as you can do it, you will become a big star!"

"Think about it, Frank, when you play football, there are a lot of fans cheering and cheering for you. On weekdays, there are many reporters and fans around you. You will be welcomed wherever you go, and you will become the focus. Don't you want to be such a big star?"

"Think." Ribery replied, instead asking in confusion, "But... can I really do it?"

"Of course! Frank, you are a confident person. Do you believe that you will succeed in the future, right?" said Wan Sheng. "You have been working very hard, remember? The first time I saw you was on a small football field. It was a holiday, but you were still training alone."

"You are confident and you work hard!"

"You have outstanding skills! Excellent strength!"
