.McCarthy is indeed preparing for this derby as Mr. Yang expected. In the football world, you can lose all games but you must not lose the derby. Sunderland did not win the first three games and ranked last with zero points. McCarthy was under unprecedented pressure.

The results also fully confirm that McCarthy's cards are not very good. Sunderland has no big moves in the transfer market. The only deal that can be made is to sign defender Stabs for free from Everton, and left-back Hoyt on loan from Arsenal. The only thing left is to win the game by these veterans and young people in the team that show their fighting spirit and fighting spirit.

Rhode pushed open the office door and found that Mr. Yang was already watching the video. However, after a closer look, he found that it was a video of the last game against Bolton.

"Hasn't the competition summary been completed? Why are you still watching?" Rhodes sometimes feels that this young man's thinking is so fast that he can't keep up, such as reverse thinking, multi-directional thinking, and jumping thinking.

Master Yang turned around and signaled Rhodes to sit down, and turned on the computer monitor next to him. The 2002 European Championships match between Greece and Portugal was played on the monitor.

"I'm thinking about a question, what kind of team do you say will win?"

Rhode frowned: "Is this a question too broad?" Rhode pointed to the computer monitor, "If you refer to this game, then defense and teamwork can win."

Mr. Yang: "What kind of team can win the league championship?"

Rhodes: "Arsenal and Chelsea have their own reasons for winning the championship in the past two years, including financial resources, team composition, coaches, and playing style."

Mr. Yang pointed to the game scene with Bolton. "Bolton has no wealth and no big-name players. They may have a good coach. What is certain is that they have indeed found a way of playing that suits them. In fact, the question I really want to ask is, is 442 really the best way of playing that suits us?"

Rhodes were silent, and the two of them sat opposite each other on the sofa with their own thoughts.

After a long time, Rhodes spoke: "But the current style of play is the style that almost all English teams will use, and if you change the style of play now, it will cost a lot." Rhodes' subtext is that you still have two games, so it's best not to take risks.

Mr. Yang: "Think about the few questions I asked just now. Before Greece, no one thought that this kind of formation with eight-man defense and two-man attack would be successful. Now Chelsea, Mourinho used a drag-back Marklele, and the formation of two wingers and single centers has won a championship. We should not focus on a certain game now, but create a formation that can be unexpected to the opponent and is suitable for us - it is a formation that creates history - just like the wm formation at the beginning, we will be written in the history of world football." (Note: The wm formation was created by the British Chapman, and was named after the 10 players' arrangement position as "wm".)

Rhodes' brows gradually relaxed, and it was difficult for him to have any more trouble in his heart after he reached middle age. But this time Rhodes couldn't control his inner excitement. He created a formation of history and wrote it into the history of world football! What an arrogant goal. But who doesn't like it?

Rhodes: "Then where should we start?"

"Start with our people." Master Yang took out a big box, took out a large stack of information from it and put it in Rod's arms.

Rhode looked down and saw that the information was as detailed as the CIA's archives, and he could see almost all the basic information of the players.

"Let's first look at how the trump cards in our hands are suitable for use." Mr. Yang patted the information.

Rhode nodded.

"Do you think we need to play five defenders? We seem to have conceded goals in every game in previous games. This defense is really a headache." Mr. Yang patted his forehead.

Rhode: "It's better to be a four-back. We don't have the kind of guard who can assist the opponent's bottom line."

Mr. Yang pointed his finger and clicked the mouse, and a virtual tactical board of software was displayed. Four defenders lined up in a row. "Do you want to make some changes in the central defender, such as being a scavenger?"

Rhode asked back: "Do we have such players?"

Mr. Yang shook his head and thought to himself: There is still Feng Xiaoting in Valleheim, and his performance seems to be pretty good recently. But, alas, let's talk about it during the winter break. Steven Taylor seems to be good at the central defender position.

"Then talk about the midfield. I want a Marklele." Mr. Yang said.

"We don't have Marklele." Rhodes looked through the information in his hands. "Their defense is not as hard as world-class, and their coverage is also impossible."

Master Yang was speechless and stopped his fingers on the information.

Rhode quipped, "Do you know, Brian Clough of Nottingham Forest?"

Mr. Yang: "The coach who led Nottingham Forest to win the Champions League? Of course I know. Did I watch it well if I'm fine? What's wrong with him?"

"If it were him, he would tell you that 'tactics' is a bunch of shit, and only Italians would mention the word." Rhodes said with a smile.

Master Yang opened his mouth, and he really didn't know how to answer. Because if Clough was still saying last year, Ferguson: "I have two things, he only has one - I'm not talking about testicles." He was talking about the European Champions League. Compared to this old man, Master Yang is indeed nothing.

"Anyway, if I get off get out of class this month, it will be more than his 44-day record of coaching Leeds United." Yang said roguely. "And don't you want to be the second Pitt Taylor?" (Note: Pitt Taylor is Clough's assistant, and the golden combination of the two is the key to Nottingham's success.)

Rhodes said nothing and continued to flip the information. "Without a pure defensive midfielder, let's play double midfielder."

"I think so too." Master Yang paused, "Why don't we each design a set of tactics and then check it out again after a while?"

OK! That's it!

The hour and minute hands on the clock were constantly spinning, and the players' information was made everywhere by the two. Mr. Yang and Rhodes were gesturing on each tactical board. Both of them were immersed in their own football world, with no one else.

Four hours later, the sky had turned from light to dark. When the two of them looked at each other, they couldn't help but smile - because both of them found the answer.

Liu Yunshang finished the work and was walking on the way home. This time he was close to home. There were still many pedestrians and patrol police on the road, so he no longer had to worry about being robbed.

Walking downstairs of Chino's house, Liu Yunshang suddenly heard a meowing sound. Looking down at the sound, a dirty kitten was looking at her pitifully.

"Little guy, why are you here?" Liu Yunshang walked towards the kitten.

The kitten arched up, took two steps back, and hid it next to the trash can. Liu Yunshang remembered that there was a sardine sandwich in his bag.

"Come on, eat it." Liu Yunshang picked out the sardines from the sandwich and put them on the ground.

The kitten looked up at Liu Yunshang, slowly approached the food, and then started to eat.

Liu Yunshang squatted there and watched the kitten finish eating with satisfaction. "Okay, I'm leaving. If you can't find something to eat, come here tomorrow."

Liu Yunshang stood up and was about to go home, and two meowing sounds came from behind.

Liu Yunshang turned around and found that the kitten raised his paws and pointed at her. "How about you go home with me?"

The kitten screamed again, as if expressing agreement.

September 17.

Sunderland fans are very close, but it will cost a lot to really get close to St James Park. Newcastle police are on guard and sending double the police force to stop the fans stimulated by alcohol. Sunderland fans travel through the dedicated road opened by the police, which was originally only 14 miles away, as long as he was heading to hell.

Similarly, if Newcastle fans walk to the Light Stadium, they will also be treated like this.

The TV in Newcastle bar plays an exclusive interview with Mr. Yang by Wan Cheng Ruolan.

"Coach Yang, how much do you know about your opponent, Coach McCarthy?"

Master Yang shook his head: "I think it's just like he knows me, and I know very little. But I read a book and it mentioned him." Master Yang took out Keen's autobiography.

Wan Cheng Ruolan smiled: "Then after reading this book, what do you want to say to McCarthy?"

"I want to say, stop giving players cheese sandwiches."

There was a lot of laughter in the tavern, and Newcastle fans who knew the grudges between McCarthy and Kee all raised their glasses.

"Come on, have a drink for Newcastle."

"That Chinese boy is getting more and more able to speak!"

Mr. Yang and Rhodes couldn't hide their expectant expressions on their faces even when they stood in the coaching area. Today is the day of the new formation experiment, how can they not be excited? Rhodes still feels a little grateful, because Mr. Yang, as the head coach, has much greater pressure than him. Victory in the formation can be said to be the result of joint discussion. If it fails, then Mr. Yang will only be responsible.

"Welcome to watch the fourth round of the Premier League. Coach Yang is proving to the team that he is capable of achieving 10 league points in five rounds. Chelsea, who is now at the top of the list, ranked first with two wins, one draw and seven points, with Arsenal and Manchester United in the same score, followed by Newcastle and Liverpool. The red derby between Liverpool and Manchester United will have a great impact on the standings tomorrow. But let's first appreciate this Northeast derby with Mars. Newcastle's home game against Sunderland.
