Chapter 3
What is a tactic?
This question seems very simple, but if you think about it carefully, it is difficult to give an answer.
Wei Le had discussed this question with Han Yang before, but Wei Le, who had not yet obtained a systematic understanding, could not explain it even though he had a deep interest in the deep content of football.
When asked this question, Han Yang replied: "For example, 442 is a tactic?"
Wei Le did not comment at the time, but now Wei Le standing on the training ground can give a clear answer: this answer is not correct, and even irrelevant.
442,433, these terms that are well-known and even on the lips of today's fans are actually not all tactics, but "playing system", that is, the coach's choice of position on the field. It can be a manifestation of tactics, but not the tactics themselves.
In Wei Le's understanding, tactics are a set of "behavior methods" that can tell players how to behave in the game, such as requiring players to press in the midfield and grab the ball in defense; for example, in offense, try to achieve more people advantage on the wing, etc.
Under the constraints of this set of behavioral norms, players will have various performances in the game, one of which is the player's position.
For example, the birth of 4231 is actually based on 442, trying to let a striker take more responsibility for support, and his position is constantly delayed.
In Wei Le's view, the teams that his team will encounter in the college team league are generally uneven in strength, and the teams with superb skills are ultimately a minority, so he plans to play the technical advantages of the law school team in the frontcourt.
He chose a relatively compact position and used a single striker formation. The team's starting striker Wang Jing's name seems to be more feminine, but his appearance is relatively rough, which is in stark contrast to his name.
Wang Jing's skills are not superb, and his speed is not the fastest, but Wei Le is impressed by Wang Jing's abundant physical strength and hopes that he will run more in the forward position, form connections with the wingers and front midfielders on both sides, and provide support.
In order to bring out Liu Ziyu's technical ability and his rare reverse foot ability, Wei Le decided to let him take more offensive responsibilities, while his younger brother Liu Zihang stood on his left.
Wei Le made special arrangements for Han Yang's position. Han Yang's poor basic skills led to the fact that if he participated in the cooperation of Liu Zihang and Liu Ziyu, he would not only not be able to keep up with the rhythm, but also make many mistakes, becoming an obvious target for the opponent. Therefore, Han Yang's position will be closer to the wing than the left winger, seeking to get behind the opponent and form a breakthrough with the one-on-one opportunity with the full-back.
Wei Le continued to use Li Bing from the 2014 class as a defensive midfielder. His responsibility is very simple, which is to strangle the midfield.
He hopes that Li Bing can expand his defensive area and cooperate with the front players to oppress the opponent. Those who have played amateur football have a certain feeling that at this stage, as long as you don't make mistakes, the opponent will hand the ball to you.
This is actually the helplessness of youth football at present. Players with poor basic skills often make mistakes such as running out of the sideline and passing to the opponent in a panic before the defensive players take the initiative to steal. Li Bing's role is to force the opponent to make mistakes and scare off the opponent before the opponent's attack really threatens the goal.
Wei Le thought that having only one defensive midfielder was not enough. So he decided to give full play to Zhang Tie's physical advantage and outstanding stealing ability to provide support in the midfield and backcourt as another defensive midfielder.
Zhang Tie had played as a defensive midfielder before. This arrangement was just Wei Le's attempt. Whether it can be realized depends on whether Zhang Tie can be competent for this new responsibility.
When his eyes turned to the two full-backs, Wei Le found sadly that the two full-backs in his team were not very capable, so there was no plan to let the two participate more in the attack, just stand in position to defend well and pass the ball safely.
In Wei Le's memory, right-back Wang Chen often exposed the shortcomings of poor position sense in the games in previous years. Sometimes he was too aggressive and was easily hit behind by the opponent, so Wei Le also regretfully gave up the original idea of letting the full-back participate in the attack. If the full-back can become the initiator of the attack, or even be able to cross the bottom, it will be a great advantage.
Fortunately, left-back Chen Zixuan is not an offensive enthusiast, but his defensive position is not professional. He is used to staying close to the wing, which gives the opponent a lot of opportunities to use the ribs, which makes Wei Le, who was the goalkeeper before, quite helpless. Now his defensive position is also a problem that needs to be paid special attention to.
Therefore, Wei Le hopes that the team can play more in the middle in the game, and try to prevent the opponent's players from breaking through from the wing in defense, so as to prevent the two full-backs who have not received much football training from panicking and kicking randomly.Revealing flaws.
As for the central defender, with Zhang Tie in the front and back position, Wei Le could only break up the combination of Zhang Tie and another central defender Zhang Xin, and let the rare left-footed central defender Zhang Xin and the original substitute player Tan Zhengyang partner.
Speaking of Tan Zhengyang, Wei Le found that all his attributes were quite standard, with no particularly advantageous items and no particularly obvious shortcomings. Wei Le was surprised to find that his position radar chart showed that he could play all positions except goalkeeper, although except for central defender and defensive midfielder, the others were just "able to play", which was not very good.
Wei Le was shocked. This jack of all trades was simply the best candidate for the substitute. I just hope that Tan Zhengyang himself has no objection.
But at the beginning of the semester, there was a "lack of soldiers and generals". All the senior members left the team, and the freshmen were not familiar with the campus yet, so sending him to start was a stopgap measure.
As for the goalkeeper position, after Wei Le "retired", Bian Wenxing, who was pressed on the bench by Wei Le, got playing time. Bian Wenxing, who came a year later than Wei Le, is actually as capable as Wei Le. But after all, Wei Le has always performed well on the court, so there is no reason to rashly replace the captain and make way for the new players.
So, just like putting the players on the notebook like a puzzle, Wei Le found that he had already arranged a starting lineup.
And when he turned around and put down the notebook, Zhang Tie had already led his teammates back. He dragged a basket of footballs, wearing a thin training vest, and his bronze skin with a few drops of sweat even seemed to reflect the sun under the sunlight. The angular face has the unique beauty of Asians.
Wei Le subconsciously looked at the side of the field, and sure enough, several female classmates were pointing in his direction. Which one of them would give a rose to this prince charming?
Wei Le put his mind back and took the initiative to greet him.
"Thank you all for your hard work. Let's not rush to train today. Let me tell you how we are going to play the game."
