Football’s First Defender

Chapter 18: step 1

  Because there was a second round of the Russian Cup against Sparta Moscow in the middle of the week, the Monday that should have been the rest of the team, also needed the team to perform additional training to maintain the state for the midweek game!

   But today, in the training ground of Zenit's first team, a newcomer came!

   As Yang Feng, who was promoted directly from the youth team, he was asked by the head coach to briefly introduce himself to everyone on the training ground before training began. As for how to integrate into the locker room, it depends on Yang Feng's own performance. During the period, the team captain will help him appropriately, and the head coach generally does not participate in the locker room relationship!

"Hello everyone, I am a central defender from the youth team, Yang Feng, from China. You can directly call me young. The English pronunciation should be more suitable for you to call me than the Chinese pronunciation. Please enlighten me in the future." Yang Feng introduced in English and Russian Twice myself! It is convenient for those international players and Russian national players to understand it!

   "young! He is indeed a young man! I heard that he is only 19 years old, and he performed very well in the youth league!"

   "Hey, Scotter, I scored 7 goals in 5 games and didn't concede. Look at you again!"

   "Haha, Hagen, is this the coach who came to stimulate you and Scott?"

   The atmosphere in Zenit’s team is still very good. Some players are joking with the central defenders and are not afraid of being angry!

   But as contenders in the same position, Skrtel, Hagen, and the backup central defenders are obviously not as natural and easy-going as others. After all, there are only two positions, no one likes more and more competitors!

   "Okay, okay, let's start today's training!" With the assistant coach's voice, everyone gathered together and started the formal training!

   Jogging to warm up, followed by various stretching exercises!

  As a newcomer to the first team, Yang Feng is naturally a good baby. All the actions are completed meticulously, trying to leave a good impression on the coaching staff!

   However, in the subsequent tactical exercises, Yang Feng will naturally have nothing to do. What Yang Feng needs now is to go to the side with the assistant coach and get familiar with the tactical training content of the first team! For example, how Yang Feng should stand, the defensive area he is responsible for, and he is familiar with the specific requirements of the coach's tactics under different offensive and defensive situations!

   With the development of modern football, in terms of tactics, although it seems that there are so many big categories, every coach will have subtle differences in specific tactics. This difference forms the unique coaching style of different coaches!

   Under the same tactics and the same situation, different coaches may require similar positions, which may be very different. Edvard Carter’s tactics need to be re-learned and accepted by Yang Feng!

During this period of time, Yang Feng needs to follow the assistant coach in addition to the normal physical training, and remember the overall team tactics of Edvard Carter and the things Yang Feng needs to do as a central defender. Join the team's joint training!

   "Relax Yang, the tactics of your defenders are not that troublesome. You only need to listen to me carefully and implement them carefully. I believe you can participate in tactical training soon!"

   "Okay, Mr. Ball!"

   For the central defender, when positioning the ball, it is the time to show offensive attributes. Use your strongest and tallest body on the court to get a header in the penalty area, or simply to create chaos!

  In a normal sports battle, the central defender basically does not participate in the attack. Of course, this kind of central defender's requirements prevail in this era. It is enough for central defenders to take the ball and kick the ball. Don't play with fire behind yourself is the code of conduct.

   No one would have thought that in another ten years, with the development of the ball-handling genre, defenders and goalkeepers must have a good passing skill in order to gain a foothold in certain strong teams!

  The first thing Yang Feng needs to understand is the corresponding tactics of the defender when he is attacking. This part is the simplest, but it is also the most commonly used! Because Zenit has an absolute possession advantage in almost every game this season, and has a lot of offensive time with the ball, so the first thing Yang Feng learned is how to defend himself when the team is attacking. task!

The main thing Yang Feng needs to understand and learn is to attack in different positions on his side. He has to correspond to the offensive personnel in the front court, change his position, and distinguish clearly the scope of defensive responsibilities with his partner's central defender, and face the opponent's counterattack. Under different circumstances, Yang Feng What should I do!

Fortunately, Yang Feng’s tactical understanding ability is very good. In addition, this is originally a tactical template. There are many detailed things that need to be informed by the head coach during training. Therefore, Yang Feng is not too difficult to understand by memorizing these. , Just keep in mind that the minefield set by Ed Wocart for the defender should not be touched!

   The easiest and easiest way to get started is the position of the defender when one is attacking. This is all marked with a detailed position. Memorize the content...

   With Mr. Boll constantly dictating "offensive position on the court," Yang Feng adjusted his position accordingly in his own half, ensuring his position was designed according to the coach's tactics!

In fact, the so-called position is not the so-called advancement of 1 meter in the offense, and the defense will advance 1 meter. Because the length of the court is fixed, the attacking to different positions, the size of the space that the defense needs to take into account is not necessarily, and sometimes it may follow the attack. 1 meter, you need to advance 1.2 meters, and sometimes you may only need to advance 0.8 meters. This sense of space maintenance should be controlled by the central defender himself, but for the overall tactical needs, sometimes the coach will also specify in detail!

After all, football is still a world where the strong are respected. If you don’t have the strength, just follow the coach’s rules. If your strength is enough to break the coach’s limits, then the coach will not ask for everything in detail. you!

   "I didn't expect your memory to be so good, Yang!" Boll obviously didn't expect that Yang Feng had only watched it a few times before taking down all the offensive defensive positions of the central defenders.

   "This deserves to come from Eastern China, the brain is just good!"

   "Okay! Now that you have thoroughly remembered your position, you don't have to waste time here. Next is positional defense, and set-piece defense tactics"...

With the development of the specific tactics of professional football, there are more and more variants. Yang Feng looked at Boll holding a thick stack of tactics books and corresponding legends. He knew that in a short time, he could not participate in tactical training. In it!

Because I just finished the game and I will go to Moscow to play in the middle of the week, the training in these two days will not be too intense, and there will be no intra-team training games. Naturally, Yang Feng did not have the opportunity to ask the coaching staff and new teammates Show your strength!

"Your task this week is to thoroughly understand all the tactics of our team! Take advantage of the team's midweek trip to Moscow to play the Cup, and then fly directly to the Far East Vladivostok to play Luengia, you have a week Training time alone. I will stay here to guide you on the positions of various defensive tactics, as well as many professional team-level defensive skills. I will also teach you one by one to fight for the ball next week. When the team flies back from that **** Vladivostok (wai three beeps), you can directly participate in the team's joint training!"

   After the day’s training, Boll brought the latest instructions from Edvard Carter. Yang Feng doesn’t need to follow the team to the two away games this week, just train alone! The team's defensive coach Boll personally trained him for a week!

   "Good coach! I will definitely remember all tactics as soon as possible!"

   Well, let’s say it several times. In the sixth round of the Russian Super League this weekend, Zenit’s opponent is the public enemy of the All-Russian Super League, Luengia, whose home stadium is in the easternmost part of Russia, Vladivostok!

As the newly promoted team this season, Luengia’s strength is not so strong, but the team’s home location is too disgusting. Most teams have to cross the entire Russian land, from Europe to the Asian continent. Go east to the game!

   It takes nearly 10 hours to fly one way! All the Russian Super League teams are eager for Luengia to be relegated and return to the Russian League to play, playing an away game, just flying on the road can make people crazy, it is too bad!

   is like Zenit’s gang. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has no direct flights to Vladivostok from St. Petersburg, so after the Cup match with Moscow Sparta, I had to stay in Moscow for one day and then took a direct flight to Vladivostok. All the players in the big roster should have been floating outside for nearly a week. Even after playing the weekend league, they still have to go to Moss for a transfer. It is estimated that they will not return to St. Petersburg next Tuesday!

   After most of the team training, Boll’s solo training, and some tactical simulation training, Yang Feng went home exhausted physically and mentally.

   is carrying a thick stack of tactical materials, which Yang Feng needs to learn by himself in private time.

   Boll said that time is limited, so Yang Feng can only work harder himself and complete the theoretical part in private. Starting tomorrow, Boll will directly lead Yang Feng to conduct a practical test!

   "Hey! Liu Yue! Let's postpone the lecture on economics this week until next week. I'm going to recite the tactics of the first team!"

   Yang Feng said and shook the thick tactical atlas in his hand!

   "Also, make me some more coffee, I'm going to light up the lamp to read at night, and I will have an examination tomorrow!"

   "How do I feel like you were studying in high school? Work hard, classmate Yang, I am your strong backing! Haha! I will help you make coffee now!"

   Yang Feng returned to the study, looking at the tactical atlas!

   "Is there any way! Since you choose to go this way, you must accept the tempering in the process, come on!"

The first step in all things is full of difficulties, because you have stepped into an unknown field and you need to adapt slowly by yourself, but as long as you have a persistent determination to overcome the difficulties and obstacles ahead, you can finally get away Success is closer!

   "All for the future!"
