Chapter 54 Defensive Coach
.Li Tie was indeed in the stands behind Everton's bench, and his blue sports jacket looked a little big. The club staff obviously did not treat him as carefully as they had just joined the team. Is it good to be able to serve the first-team men? Is it necessary for foreigners in the reserve team to be so troublesome?
Li Tie's eyes were on the Newcastle coach's seat, and the Chinese named Yang was telling their right back something. Li Tie heard Sun Jihai say about this person, and there were many more in the news and newspapers, such as rejecting invitations from the national team, betting with players, and punching Bowyer... Thinking of this, Li Tie couldn't help but smile on his face. It was quite interesting. Should he say hello after the game? After all, he is the host. However, as a substitute, this face doesn't look good. Li Tie's smile closed again.
Li Tie knows why he sits here in injury, ability, and how the head coach plays. Only in the Premier League did he truly discover how great a person's ability is, why those stars can be called stars. Rooney, that former teammate, a young genius, is indeed worth 30 million pounds, and he, 1 million pounds, may never be able to reach this number.
The game has begun. Li Tie knows that the team has practiced tactical style in the past two days. Newcastle's two wings are their weaknesses. If they can open the situation from the wings, they will likely open the situation.
Van der Mede's main task today is to attack Newcastle's left. He just transferred from Inter Milan this year and was full of confidence to prove himself in the Premier League. In the last game, he came on as a substitute in the League Cup, debuted in England for the first time, and performed well. So this time Moyes put him in the starting lineup.
Van der Mede dribbled the ball and cooperated with his teammates to drive the ball to Newcastle's hinterland. Elliott defended.
Van der Mede's right leg shook on the ball, and he made a move to go down the bottom, and Elliott's center of gravity dropped.
Van der Mead's body shook to the left.
In this game, Everton had five midfielders, almost the same as Bolton. Cahill, Arteta and Simon Davis were all good at attacking and defending. Having said that, if Moyes' midfielders fail in defense, they basically don't consider being able to play.
This is also the reason why Li Tie couldn't even play as a substitute. He intercepted the ball and passed the ball to the opponent's feet. No coach could stand it. Master Yang remembered Zhao Xuri, and this kid also had this attribute when he first came to Belgium.
In the setting of the five midfielders, Faye and Bowyer, as the central defender, cannot consider assisting in defense too much. Because if they go to the side to assist in defense, the space in the middle will be large, and it will not work. Only the forward will return to defense - the forward against this side is Irving.
Irving is still in the midfield at this time. According to his idea, Elliott would not suffer any losses when he faces Van der Mede.
Elliott stared at Van der Mede.
The ball closed and released, but still pointed to the bottom line.
Van der Mead took the ball and ran away!
Spike! Van der Mede pulled his heel and Elliott caught him off guard.
Immediately afterwards, a big gap flashed out.
Crossing!!
The height of the ball is not high, but it is very fast. Newcastle's penalty area was deserted a few seconds ago, but now it is full of traffic.
At the first point, Vermalen headed the ball out.
In the second point, Cahill got the ball and passed Arteta across the cross.
Arteta! Shoot!!!
The ball rubbed against the crossbar and went out of the bottom line.
Everton fans made a huge sigh of regret and then presented the applause to Van der Mede, who made the wonderful pass.
"This Dutchman is pretty good."
"Yes, we've found a treasure this time."
Moyes nodded. Van der Mede didn't spend much money, but the effect was very significant. In the years when the wingers were rampant, a good winger's style of playing would be new.
Mr. Yang's face is not so good here. Of course, he is clear about Newcastle's weaknesses, but Mr. Irving's defensive attitude is really worrying. If he doesn't press his opponent to kick, he can't see where others are. The psychological problem has been almost solved, and his physical condition has also recovered, but this lazy return to defense has not changed much. Mr. Yang is envious of Mr. Mourinho for being able to pull Duff and Wright to play fullback in a hurry.
The full-back, I can only say I can hold on. Mr. Yang spread his hands helplessly.
Rhodes did not comment. After winning the bet, the first layer of trust has been established. As long as the league maintains such a winning rate, the game will not be a problem. Rhodes also knows that these two full-backs are indeed not good, and they are still several streets away from the top of the Premier League. It is estimated that newcomers will come this winter.
Everton's style of play today is very clear, fighting for the midfield, and several defensive midfielders are stirred together like a pot of stewed beef, making pop sounds from time to time. Newcastle is obviously at a disadvantage in this regard.
After Everton intercepted the ball, he either looked for Arteta or gave it to Van der Mede on the wing. Newcastle's handling after intercepting the ball was a bit more complicated. One was because Everton pressed fiercely, and the other was that Bower and Jenners obviously lacked the ability to pass forward. Everton's defense was further strengthened since Moyes took over. The ladder defense and distance protection would not allow you to break through so easily, and there were always people intercepting the passing line.
Mr. Yang turned his head and asked, "Lao Luo, do you think our defense can do this?"
On the court, Yabo headed the ball to the midfield with a header.
Rhode thought for a while: "I know what you want. I'm going to improve your defense is not just about changing the training subjects and time." Rhode nodded, "You have to have a good chat with our defensive coach."
Mr. Yang turned to look at the middle-aged man named Blunt sitting on the bench. He is a member of the uniform team specializing in defensive training in Newcastle.
Rhode continued: "At present, adjusting the training outline will cause a series of chain reactions, and you must be mentally prepared."
Mr. Yang touched his chin and fell into deep thought. Blunt was a Newcastle player before, of course he was an unknown player. He was a defender and was unknown when playing football, but in the end, he was able to join Newcastle coaching staff for some reason, and then worked for such a long time.
The head coach changed like a revolving lantern, and the coaches in these uniform groups did not change much. Mr. Yang certainly knew what Rhodes meant. Blunt's work was pretty average, but if he had to keep up with the next level, it would be lingering. But if he had to replace him, no one could guarantee whether these coaches who were usually kind to the same hatred for the enemy, and would strike or impeach. Anything would be enough for Mr. Yang to have a pot of food.
It is hard to lead a big team, and the hardest thing to manage is people. Strictly speaking, Cordill of Valleheim is a good defensive coach. Unfortunately, it is impossible to dig it. The more capable people are, the harder they are to dig it. Do I have to play for a year in the Premier League with such a defensive system?
"Who taught Everton's defense?" Mr. Yang threw the question to Rhodes.
Rhodes glanced at Everton's bench. "Holden, Andy Holden. He was much more fierce than Vermullen when he was a defender. He played for Chester and Vigan."
Mr. Yang nodded. It seems that he is going to talk to Blunt. It is very important to tap the potential himself. The salary limit for the coaching staff is now there, which is still far from negotiating with the club. Just after the dangerous period, Mr. Yang's work is still like walking a tightrope, but the tightrope is a little thicker than before. Only in winter is it like the club talking about buying people and increasing manpower. And... it seems that it is not just a defensive coach. Goalkeeper coach, physical coach, offensive coach, technical coach, and Newcastle seem to be lacking in this regard. This is really a club with a long history, is nepotism also a part of history?
The first half of the match between Newcastle and Everton was soon over. Both sides were like two cautious boxers, and it was difficult to hurt each other and would not easily reveal flaws.
Except for Van der Mead who has been committed to causing trouble for Newcastle's two wings, the first half of the game made the fans of both sides drowsy, and everyone is looking forward to the halftime break that their coach will change their playing style, at least make this game better.

"Baby, your father's birthday on October 19th, you and Mr. Yang have to come back to see it. Besides, mom misses you too." Ding Yi's mother reminded him on the video call.
Ding nodded: "I know, I know, I'm celebrating my father's birthday to the 60th birthday, how could I forget it? Let's see if there will be any competition that day. Wednesday, it should be fine."
Ding Yi's mother angrily said, "It's really a girl who is too old to stay. Your father has to work with his son-in-law on his birthday."
Ding Yi pouted: "Mom~ You're kidding me again."
"Okay, okay, don't tease you. Pay attention to your health and don't get tired. Don't carry it on your own. Don't you have an assistant now? Let them do it. I don't know where Master Yang got the blessing of helping my daughter. You have never cared about your father's business."
"Mom, I used to be ignorant. Besides, no one can command anyone. Now I pay myself a salary and work for myself. I feel that work is becoming more and more interesting."
"Oh, don't mom feel sorry for you?"
"Then let's do it first, I will definitely prepare a big gift for you. Be good~"
The video was dark. Ding Yi's mother pointed at Ding Ruilin who was secretly having fun: "You, you, you, you spoiled your daughter and are not going home now. I think if Master Yang had a competition that day, you wouldn't even be able to celebrate your birthday."
Ding Ruilin spread his hands and said, "Is this my fault? He boasted to those wives about finding a good son-in-law, but who was the one who sent someone to deliver ginseng in a car accident? Ah, I was a little jealous."
"Tsk..." a snorted softly.
