Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 109

Royce was completely unaware that his haircut was being praised, or that he was being praised in front of millions of fans and television viewers around the world.

He just wholeheartedly discussed with his teammates how the free kick should be delivered.Because the penalty spot was too close to the goal, several young people discussed it for a while, and finally decided to let Shaqiri serve, rub the ball up, and let Sunderland have two high points: Hyypia and Hummels Go for the top.

In the end, Hyypia hit the ball, but the ball was pushed out by Chelsea captain Terry standing on the goal line——

corner kick!

Corner after another corner!

……

In just ten minutes after the opening, Sunderland's two fast attacks and a series of set kicks almost made Chelsea breathless.Sunderland's oppression on the scene when facing Chelsea made all the game spectators somewhat unexpected.

"Young, still young!" Andy Gray said over and over again, "This is how newly promoted players are at the beginning of the season."

Just went through a summer break, entered a new league, and ushered in new aid with a lot of money. This team, which is generally young from top to bottom, shows vigorous vitality in front of people-this situation, the sky The two celebrities in sports have seen a lot.

"Chelsea will stabilize soon." Richard Keys said with confidence, "Ancelotti has led the team to play for so many years. If this situation can't be dealt with, he should go back to Italy. gone."

Sure enough, with the opportunity of a short dead ball, Ancelotti called Lampard to the sidelines to teach him the opportunity.Lampard nodded while looking in Eriksson's direction.Ancelotti's meaning should be to let the team strengthen the control of the midfield and not let Eriksson "deal the cards" so easily.

Immediately after returning to the pitch, Lampard addressed several Chelsea midfielders and defenders.

Eriksson felt the eyes of his opponents coming towards him, and immediately realized what was going on, and immediately turned his head to wink at Henderson who was following him.

Sure enough, Chelsea immediately strengthened their control over the midfield, and the "Warcraft" Drogba retreated a lot, leaving Anelka alone in front.Sunderland's ball still finds Eriksson sometimes, but Eriksson's side feels that the pressure is gradually increasing. The teammate made the ball.

In the broadcast room of Sky Sports, Andy Gray proudly said: "Did you see it? Your uncle is still your uncle!"

Richard Keith stopped him and said, "Wait a minute..."

Before he finished speaking, the two celebrities saw the ball at Henderson's feet across half of the pitch, from Sunderland's left to the right.There, Royce took the ball again and quickly dribbled forward, while Vardy and Shaqiri started at the same time in the center and left, and they had already run to the supporting position...

The pressure on Eriksson suddenly eased, and he immediately followed his teammates and happily rushed towards Chelsea's frontcourt.

Andy Graydon was dumbfounded, pointing to Henderson's back on the court and said: "This... this is the real..."

It turns out that Henderson, who is wearing the No. 10 jersey, is now Sunderland's real playmaker, the real "card dealer".

Eriksson is responsible for the offensive organization of the frontcourt, but once Eriksson's point is restricted, Henderson, who is behind him, will play an immediate role. With his precise long pass and good vision, Henderson It can also preside over the overall situation and launch an attack.

Relying on this tactical cooperation, Royce got the ball again, and once again advanced at high speed in order to break through.

At this time, a muscular blue shadow rushed towards Royce, as if to intercept him head-on.The one who stepped forward to intercept was "Warcraft" Drogba. His size seemed to be completely different from Royce's.

Just now, Ancelotti corrected the tactics of the entire team through Lampard. One of the most important ones is to let Drogba retreat. At critical times, this fast and physically fit star needs to return to the defense together. .

Drogba is a very diligent player in the Chelsea team. He can rank among the top few in the team in terms of running distance per game, keeping pace with Lampard.This time he came to assist in the defense without saying a word, and the way to assist in the defense was to intercept Royce.

Royce dribbled the ball in at high speed, and Drogba also rushed to intercept at high speed. Seeing the direction in which the two were running, many fans who watched the game felt aroused——

Don't hit it!

The audience looked at Royce's small body, and then at Drogba's veritable "Warcraft" body.

Drogba is tall and strong, so it's okay to bump into Royce, but if Royce bumps into the opponent coming at high speed, Royce will probably fly out directly.

But looking at the state of the two players, one is fearlessly dribbling the ball at high speed, the other is fearlessly rushing forward to intercept, and even put on a posture of not hesitating to block fouls. Anyway, he will definitely not be the one who suffers from the collision.

The fans watching the game, especially those on Sunderland's side, felt their hearts skipped a beat.

The next moment, they saw that Royce had lightly stuffed the ball under his feet and passed it to Vardy in the middle.He himself deflected a little on the original running route, and immediately passed by Drogba.

Drogba seemed to feel a gust of wind blowing by his side, his eyes seemed to blur, and there was no one in front of him.

This was a sudden change. Although the fans in the stands and watching the TV broadcast could see it clearly, Drogba was a little confused. He took two more steps before stopping. Looking at the greenery in front of him, he would inevitably think: Who am I and where am I?

Royce had already rushed up with Vardy at this time, but the "collision" that almost happened just now reminded him instantly of the first few lessons after coming to England——

There was such a class, which was taught by the head coach Anton himself. It is said that he did research in a university before becoming a football coach.In Royce's view, Anton is indeed elegant and knowledgeable. Compared with a football coach, Anton is more like a personable scholar.

But as soon as they heard Anton's class, all the players present were confused: Why do they have to take out high school physics to review after they have become professional players?

Royce is in the same situation as the other team members. He participated in football training and cultural classes since he was a child.He is very smart. When he was 16 years old, he had completed all the courses he should learn in German middle school. It has been several years now.

So what Anton said, Royce can understand: Anton explained the momentum theorem to the players, what is momentum, what is momentum-to put it another way, that is, what happens when athletes confront each other on the court.According to Anton, understanding the scientific principles behind it will allow them to fight better on the court.

So when Royce charged Drogba head-on, the "practical problems" arranged by Anton flashed in his mind. The opponent's mass, speed, and impulse...

Anton said that sometimes it is unwise to directly confront and collide head-on, especially when the weight and muscle level of their group of players have not increased to the level expected by Joe's mother.

Royce was in class with not only the boys from the youth academy and their new recruits who just joined, but also all members of the first team, so at this time, the team deputy Henderson raised his hand to ask questions with a puzzled expression. : "Mr. Coach, I used to hear a saying: Players should not be afraid of confrontation on the court. If they are afraid of confrontation and physical contact, they will easily be caught by the opponent... This, this is..."

Anton smiled and said, "You want to say that this is a bloodless performance, right?"

Henderson sat below, his face was flushed, but his eyes were firm and his expression was determined, staring at Anton.Obviously, this young man who has been infiltrated by traditional English football since childhood does not want to give up his understanding so easily.

"Smart confrontation does not mean non-confrontation or fear of confrontation, right?" Anton seemed to gently puncture some stubborn thoughts with words on the stage.Henderson's eyes suddenly became confused, frowning in thought.On the contrary, the other players around him understood it all at once:

"Anton, what you mean is that by applying scientific confrontation methods on the court, we have one more 'weapon' than our opponents," Pickford asked carelessly, "Scientific confrontation and reasonable collision, right? ?”

"Yes," Anton nodded, "There is still a lot to learn in this course. It is not only about 'collision', but also how you should deal with pulling, pedaling, tackling...all kinds of dangerous actions. This is in the The best way to protect yourself on the court. You are the team's most important asset, and every point of the team depends on you, so I hope you will concentrate on this course and fully understand the The 'science'. Then the assistant coach will take you to the training ground to practice..."

Royce himself was injured in Borussia. Borussia's coaching staff never told him about it, and almost let him play in a closed game.

Now that Royce has listened to Anton's precious "first lesson", he has a different view of this young coach:

Every player has his own sports career, and every club is a "hard-working soldier". He never expected to "end his life" in any club.Here, Anton let them learn these lessons that will benefit them for life, even if they will leave Sunderland one day...

On the field, Sunderland's wave after wave of offensive made Chelsea's Premier League champions last season very difficult.

In the broadcast room of Sky Sports, Andy Gray yelled: "What! The Black Cat must have retained its strength in the pre-season warm-up match, otherwise how could it be such a result..."

He has always been quick to speak without passing through his brain, and now he said loudly: "I think this newly promoted team is very good. It can stand in the Premier League without Messi... Sunderland doesn't need Messi!"

Richard Keys quickly stopped him: "No, whether Sunderland needs Messi or not, we need Messi in England!"

Just now the director has sent the ratings figures. For a game of the nature of the Community Shield, this ratings have already broken the record in history.Now Richard Keys especially hopes that Anton can extend Messi's loan period, so that the eyes of fans all over the world will turn to the Premier League.

While Andy Gray was still muttering, Keith suddenly put his hands on the table and stood up excitedly: "Look! Messi!"

The broadcast just cut to a picture. Messi has already put on his sports vest and started to warm up on the sidelines.

In Wembley Stadium, the Messi fans who saw this scene had already exploded. They called Messi's name in unison, calling for their idol to play as soon as possible.

The name alone puts a lot of pressure on the Chelsea players on the field.Captain Terry looked at the nervous teammates around him, and quickly shouted: "Brothers, have you forgotten the 'Stamford Bridge tragedy'?"

"I haven't forgotten! How dare I forget!"

"Everyone cheer up and keep an eye on them!"
