From Denise's words, Zhang Yang realized the key words for solving tactical problems: the main theme.

The main theme, that is, the main meaning, intention or purpose, is placed in writing, refers to the basic views expressed through the entire content of the article or work, the narrative and discussion purpose of the article. It can be said that the main theme is the soul of the article or work.

This may be a bit abstract.

The theme can also be simply understood as ‘things that an article or work wants to tell us’.

Football tactics also require the theme, theme, or a different noun, which can be called the core style of play, style, etc.

The world's famous football teams will have a "style" that makes people remember. For example, when talking about Arsenal, many people will be impressed by "facing smooth and fast offensive football". The same is true for Arsenal's arch rival Tottenham Hotspur. The fast-paced brisk football is the impression of fans.

Chelsea's football is relatively conservative. After Mourinho took charge, the conservative media criticized the '1:0' football, which is enough to make people remember.

The football of La Liga giants Barcelona uses ball control as the main means. When they get the team, they will also use the method of constantly passing and receiving the ball to gain the initiative in the offense.

Serie A giant AC Milan is a team that details technology. They are very good at cooperating in small areas and promote step by step to form a situation against their opponents, and suppress them in all aspects in their hearts, both aspects and in all aspects.

From the examples of famous teams above, we can see that the style of a team is actually mainly reflected in offensive methods.

Whether it is Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur’s fast pace, Chelsea’s conservatism, Barcelona’s ball control, and AC Milan’s suppressive advancement, each one is a reflection of offensive means.

There is no style to talk about when defending.

When the opponent has the right to possess the ball, it must be defensive. The defensive tactics and styles of football around the world can be counted with one hand, and there is not much difference between them. It mainly depends on the team's formation and running cooperation and the players' personal abilities to block the half-court area. It is meaningless to talk about the style of defense.

Therefore, the offensive style can represent the overall style of a team's football tactics.

Zhang Yang never thought about this problem. He just kept changing the local tactical routines, but no matter how they were modified, the local ones could not represent the whole after all. There was no "main line" that ran through the entire team's tactics. It was scattered or dispersed. He had to think of a style to combine Mirwall's overall overall.

So what is the style that suits Millwall?

This question seems a bit complicated, but it is actually very simple. First of all, the styles that are suitable for giant teams are definitely not suitable for Mirwall. Just looking at the team lineup, you can know that if the team plays too complicated, the team's average level cannot keep up, it will be difficult to truly adapt.

Just like Barcelona's ball-handling style, anyone who has studied it will clearly understand Barcelona's tactics, but almost no team imitates Barcelona.

Why?

They don't have Ronaldinho, Xavi, and a group of stars with outstanding technical capabilities, excellent adaptability, excellent skills and excellent overall view. It is almost impossible to imitate Barcelona's tactics.

Chelsea's style is simple, it constantly emphasizes defense and is also conservative when attacking, but their playing style is still very demanding. For example, they have Drogba who can rush into the opponent's penalty area and still score against tough defense. There are also powerful stars like Lampard and Marklele in the midfield.

Millwall imitates Chelsea's style, the only result is that he cannot score the goal in the game.

Other top teams are similar.

Their tactical style and overall style are only suitable for a specific lineup. If other teams want to imitate, they first need to adapt to the lineup. Millwall does not meet the conditions.

Zhang Yang quickly thought of the core style of playing that is most suitable for the team: English football.

———

The traditional British football style is nothing more than defensive counterattacks and long passes and rushes.

Many people think that it is football that is "behind the times", but in fact, many English clubs still use this style of play and do not try to catch up with the "world's footsteps". The reason is very simple: the style of play cannot be changed in a short time. In addition, when the team's technical level does not meet the standards, using the so-called "world's footsteps" tactical play will instead affect the team's performance.

The more refined the tactics, the better, but the more suitable the better.

Many people think that Spanish football has technical content. Real Madrid and Barcelona are the world's top teams, so they began to advocate the so-called "Spanish style". Regardless of whether the "Spanish style" is very powerful, it is meaningless to the teams below.

Just make a simple comparison and you will know.

If we win the top team in Spain, there may be little difference between the two compared to the top team in England. Even the top team in Spain is even better. Few teams can compare the honors Real Madrid and Barcelona have won in history.

Can you change the comparison level?

Compared with the mid-scenes team in the Premier League and the mid-scenes team in the La Liga, it can be said with great certainty that the mid-scenes team in the Premier League have an overall advantage in their performance.

Going further to the lower leagues, compared with the English Champions League and the Spanish Second Division, the two are basically incomparable. The English Champions League is considered to be the "sixth largest league in the world" and it is not casual to say.

So is the ‘traditional British style of play’ lagging behind the times?

In the eyes of top teams, this is probably the case, but in the eyes of ordinary teams, the "traditional British style of play" is the best choice, which is not only simple and direct, but also allows them to achieve better results.

With Millwall's lineup level, you can only choose the simplest "English style".

There are many differences in the ‘British style’.

The situations of each team are different, and the feeling of playing is different. Zhang Yang has changed many small tactical details. As long as he puts the concepts of "long passes and rushes" into it, it will be enough to support a tactical system suitable for Mirwall.

This tactical system was named "Zhang's Tactics". The core point is to defend with a tight pressure from the whole game. In terms of offense, it can be described as "logical and organized defensive counterattack, long passes and quick counterattacks."

———

When Zhang Yang thought about the core style of play, the rest became simple. He began to outline the overall tactics on the tactical board, and then added small details to it.

This work took half an hour.

Zhang Yang later used "Yan Ling Calculation", and the results were very gratifying-

Current ability assessment: seven stars and four points.

"Finally, it's seven stars!"

From six stars and nine points to seven stars and four points, it has surpassed half a star level, which is definitely a huge improvement.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but smile happily.

The evaluation of the seven-star four-point lineup does not represent the current strength, but as long as the team trains according to the established tactics, the overall strength will be closer to the seven-star four-point level.

There is still plenty of time to prepare for the summer. As long as you can train normally, Zhang Yang believes that the team's strength will definitely be able to break through to the seven-star level before the start of the new season.

Seven Stars must have reached the mid-level level of the Premier League.

As long as you perform at this level normally, there will be no problem with the league's relegation. With your various abilities, you can also strive for the top four in the league.

Of course, there is still a lot of pressure to compete with wealthy families.

For example, Chelsea and Manchester United must have the strength of more than eight stars or even nine stars. The two are not on the same level, but there is more than a week before the preparations begin, and there is still plenty of time, and he still has time to continue to change.

"Keep working hard!"

After receiving the ability assessment of seven or more stars, Zhang Yang has more confidence than at any time and becomes full of fighting spirit when working.

In the afternoon of the same day, good news came from the club's operations department. They completed their last transfer, spending 500,000 pounds to buy Paul Conchesky from Charlton.

This is an unexpected gain.

Zhang Yang was really surprised when he received the news. He seemed to have a little impression of the name "Konchesky". He felt like he had heard of it, but he didn't think he had heard of it at all. But as long as he had a little impression, the player should be able to play.

After checking Konchesky's information, Zhang Yang knew what was going on.

This is a long-term Premier League player.

I don't know what will happen in the future, but Charlton has made a series of appearances. He is only twenty-four years old. He is a versatile player on the left side, who can play left back or left forward.

Before, Concheski played for Charlton. As a rookie, he joined Charlton in August 1997, and then became the youngest first-tier player to play for Charlton at the age of 16 and 93 days.

Conchesky is undoubtedly a genius, but genius will be defeated by injuries.

As a first-team member of Charlton, Concheski only made 27 appearances for Charlton.

In the summer of 2003, Conchesgen's team had too many personnel on the left and asked for a transfer from the team, and obtained approval. Concheski was leased to Tottenham Hotspur. Charlton broke out in the middle of the process and was called back and removed from the transfer list.

Last season, Concheski was once again a substitute, only playing eleven times for the team. He was already disheartened by Charlton, so he decided to transfer and leave.

Charlton really doesn't have a place for Conchesky, so they can only choose to let go.

Koncheski hopes to join Tottenham Hotspur, but he is not the player that Tottenham Hotspur needs. In the end, he can only find a club by himself. After communicating with Millwall, he chose to join Millwall as the newly promoted player.

Conchesky's career can be described as "injury, no position, injury, no position". He has always performed well, but unfortunately the impact of injury is too great. After the injury is cured, he will lose his position in the team.

So what Conchesky values ​​most is the main position.

He is only twenty-four years old until now, and there is still a long way to go in the future. The most important thing is to be able to continue to play in the Premier League. He can understand his mentality of choosing to join Millwall.

This is definitely an unexpected gain.

Zhang Yang had no hope for the left side before, and adding a pure left back was a bit luxurious, so he could only let other players serve on the role. Unexpectedly, the club could help buy pure left side players.

Konchesky doesn't know if he can play the main player, but with his previous performance, there is absolutely no problem as the "first substitute" of the left back and the left forward.

If a player is injured in the middle of the team, he can directly be competent for the main force.

Such a player is very important for a stable lineup.

After Conchesky signed the new contract, Zhang Yang knew that the club's transfer work could almost be completed early.

The lineup is complete.

Next, we are ready to welcome the new season!
Chapter completed!
