347 I'm Going My Way
"20:17", the Green Bay Packers, who were in the Blue Fort Stadium, lost to the Cincinnati Borussia with a free kick.
Lu Yiqi's debut ended in failure.
Unfortunately, the Green Bay Packers were unable to start their professional coaching career with a victory for Lu Yiqi, but objectively speaking, the team's debut performance was not too bad, with the scenes coming and going. The two teams continued to deploy troops and continued to tangle until the last moment, and then they decided to win.
Therefore, the fans still gave Lu Yiqi an applause and expressed their support to the team with practical actions.
The media did not wait to pull the wrong side, after all, it was just a loss, and it only lost one free kick, and it was not the end of the world. Moreover, they analyzed Lu Yiqi's debut performance from a more professional perspective: it cannot be said that his skills are amazing, but he also has a slight heart.
It can be clearly seen that Lu Yiqi is practicing different tactical combinations. The offensive and defensive teams have replaced several different tactical schemes. The style fluctuations are very obvious. Not to mention the opponent, even the Green Bay Packers players themselves are a little uncomfortable and not very stable.
From a positive perspective, Lu Yiqi is indeed trying to control the game. He is thinking a lot about how to cleverly use players to match tactics flexibly.
From a negative perspective, Lu Yiqi thought too much and lacked the backbone. The new season has slowly begun, but he still has no system characteristics.
"This young coach can still practice tactics, but he must pay attention that time does not wait for anyone, ticking, there is not much time left for him."
Some people speculate that after the first loss, Lu Yiqi may restrain himself a little, first strive for a victory, stabilize the mentality of fans and players, firmly sit in his coach position, and then continue to practice tactics.
Some people speculate that Lu Yiqi may choose to be conservative and return to the familiar tactics of Green Bay Packers, "predecessors plant trees, and future generations enjoy the shade", so that they can get started more quickly and complete the preparations for the new season.
Some people also speculate that there may be differences in the coaching staff and that Lu Yiqi's tactical choices may face more chaos - if the head coach cannot suppress the opinions of his coach colleagues, it will be a foreseeable disaster.
However, they all guessed wrongly.
In the second week of the preseason, the Green Bay Packers challenged the San Francisco 49ers away, losing a crushing defeat at 6:34.
The main quarterback Rodgers only made a single quarter of the game and performed mediocrely; while the two substitute quarterbacks took turns to complete the remaining games, their poor performance was a disaster. They jointly handed over five interceptions, and repeatedly gave the results of the hard work of the offensive team to their opponents.
The offensive tactics still have no clear context. The ground offense and passing offense have appeared in turn, but they have never found a clear context.
In the third week of the preseason, the Green Bay Packers continued away games against the Denver Broncos, and finally suffered a three-game losing streak with a score of 24:27.
With two minutes and thirty-five seconds left before the game, both sides were still tied, but the Denver Broncos successfully squeezed into the free kick area in the last wave of advancement. Finally, when the game time was cleared, they completed a 30-yard winning free kick, giving the opponent another loss.
In the fourth week of the preseason, the Green Bay Packers returned to home to welcome the Tennessee Titans' impact. "23:21", the home team still failed to win.
Before the official two-minute timeout, the Green Bay Packers had the chance to win the game, but substitute quarterback Brian Brom missed a three-point three-yard short pass, leaving the team with a 46-yard free kick, which failed to further narrow the free kick.
The kicker Mason Crosby, who appeared later, regretfully missed a free kick and lost his last chance to overtake the score.
So, in this way, the Green Bay Packers ended with their performance in all four preseason games, leaving a huge question mark:
Where are they in the new season?
From expectation to loss to confusion, Green Bay fans are also full of countless confusions. They cannot be sure of what level their team is and what performance will be in the new season?
Expect and disappoint, trust and doubt; support and oppose and conflict.
"At the age of twenty-nine, I still lack sufficient experience and experience. At critical moments, I can easily expose my shortcomings of single means, stiff thinking, and inaccurate dispatch. This also makes the team at a disadvantage in hard battles and it is difficult to chew hard bones. NFL is not NCAA after all."
This news summary from the New York Post is undoubtedly the most representative remark.
Although the words seem gentle and do not overwhelm Lu Yiqi's ability, those objective analyses seem even more cold and cruel, and the tone of "doubt" is determined early:
They don't believe that Lu Yiqi can gain a foothold in the NFL.
The four preseason games did show some of Lu Yiqi's abilities, and the aura of winning the NCAA's all-winning season was proven; but these abilities are not enough to make Lu Yiqi compete in the NFL, and the "high eyesight and low skills" young people's problems have also become the best summary of the general impression.
From the four preseason games, we can see that Lu Yiqi's basic skills are very solid, with many tactical routines, and there is a tactical library hidden in his mind; but sometimes, many also means miscellaneous, four styles of four games, and even the tactical styles of each quarter will be adjusted in small ranges.
Adjust the style rather than just adjusting the tactical structure. For example, from passing offense to ground offense; and, for example, from frontcourt pressure to close tightening.
Truly experienced coaches know that more tactics do not mean good, but the core should be suitable. Choose a system that suits the team, and then dig deep into more changes and establish their own style. This is the correct solution.
Lu Yiqi is always changing and changing, just like reeds without muscles and bones. He changes direction as soon as the breeze blows, and he never can settle down. This is a taboo for the team to establish a tactical system.
"It's still too young."
It is not criticism but it is better than criticism. Those ridiculed and ridiculed mockery are sharp and harsh.
The mainstream view soon returned to its original track: Green Bay Packers are not a competitive team in this year's playoffs, and now they can be basically determined. What is more important for this team is to find a style that suits them throughout the season and quickly gain a foothold after the chaos.
So, is Lu Yiqi really too young and forgetful? Does Lu Yiqi really don’t know what fans and other industry insiders expect for victory? Does Lu Yiqi really don’t understand that the establishment of a tactical system requires clear ideas? Does Lu Yiqi really have the ability to make a final decision at critical moments?
Obviously not.
So, even if Lu Yiqi clearly understands his predicament, he still does his own way and does not follow the rules and choose conservative tactics to win and consolidate his position. What is this for?
Release smoke bombs?
