The CD was stuffed into the drawer by Zhao Yaning and never took it out again. He didn't like to listen to music, no matter who it was, he didn't mention it to anyone else. When he woke up, he threw it behind and devoted himself to training.

With the arrival of July, the team also began to prepare for the new season's physical fitness reserve. France's competition system is quite different from other countries, because there are two cups to play in the French Cup and the French League Cup, and the winter break is the longest three weeks in the five major leagues. Therefore, the French league is also the first to start. The French League will usually start in early August, and the French League will be held early at the end of July.

However, before the real league starts, Ajaccio prepared a friendly match for the team.

"We are playing a friendly match with Lyon this year." When Kubis said this name, he was a little excited, "This is a strong team, let me learn it well."

Zhao Yaning has heard of Lyon. Lyon is the third largest city in France, but the team does not have excellent results. Although their boss Olas has always invested heavily since he bought Lyon in 1987, his results have never been achieved. Although they are good at strength and have always performed well in the European arena, and even beat Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich, in the league, they are still fighting for the team's first league championship.

Because they only won the second place in the league two years ago, Lyon's head coach Laconbe resigned from his position and became the team's special adviser. Lyon's technical director Santini served as head coach, but in the Ligue 1, they only won the second place in the league. Although they were lucky last season and won the French League Cup, this useless trophy is nothing great. Although it consolidated Santini's coaching position, it could not satisfy Lyon.

This summer, after large-scale signings, their strength is said to have increased significantly. Carrier was the core figure of the Ligue 1 championship last season, and the joining of the Brazilian Junior Russo is also a big news. Lyon's lineup can be said to be much thicker.

But it seems that Lyon still does not have the confidence and confidence that the champion team should have, otherwise they would not have asked a second-tier team like Ajaccio to play warm-up matches.

It was not until the day before facing Lyon that the head coach began to explain new tactics to them.

"Our strategy is simple, stand firm and then think about attacking."

Isn’t it over if you just say that the defensive counterattack is over? Zhao Yaning whispered.

Most teams in the French Second Division are mainly offensive. One of the characteristics of French football is that the team is old, and most of the teams with low age and low level do not have the capital to play defensive football.

However, Ajaccio has vigorously promoted defensive football since Curbis took office. He does not have the good luck of Bastia next door. He can find a talented player like Michael Essin from Garner to support the team, but he has the task of leading the team to upgrade and enter Ligue 1. Therefore, his method is to rather shrink back and play an ugly defensive counterattack than give his opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Joey, you play two wingers with Gregory."

Kubis arranged the game mission.

"I'm the starter?" Zhao Yaning was a little surprised, "I thought I was playing as a substitute."

"You are seventeen years old. Joey, you have to understand that we are not a big team, we don't have enough depth, and everyone has to come in handy. This is our purpose. We have brought you here to let you play the main players, start from the substitute, and slowly cultivate it? We don't have that time."

Kubis answered his words, and then drew a clear route on the tactical board for him to see, "Your mission. When attacking, rush on the side. Eric will be responsible for clearing the ball and speeding up and running forward no matter which one you give you. Your speed is very fast, which is your advantage. If you make good use of it, a quick raid will bring great trouble to your opponent."

"When you are moving forward, if someone stops you, don't get too entangled. If you can change directions or dribble, you can pass the opponent as quickly as possible. Other ways of expediting, pulling the ball, picking the ball, or other technical tasks may cause mistakes or slow speeds, don't consider it! If the opponent is in trouble, pass the ball to the other sideline, so your other task is also clear: when teammates on another side accelerate forward, you must also follow up quickly and be ready to receive the opponent's pass at any time."

"But, our long passes are not very good. Will there be any problems when passing to another side?"

Gregory Lacombe asked his own question.

"At least, it's higher than your success rate. I don't want you to be long passers like Beckham or Roten. I just let you kick the ball farther and not be hit by someone to counterattack. There is no need to pass very accurately. The long passes during the counterattack process, the error within five meters is acceptable."

But I was afraid that we could not control it within the Wumi. Zhao Yaning said something in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"When you step forward, Rodriguez in the middle will follow. When you get near the penalty area, the ball-less person moves closer to the penalty area, and the ball-holder passes to Rodriguez from the bottom - remember, don't hesitate, don't think about cutting inward, you have to pass the ball."

Kubis asked very harshly, and the two wingers nodded repeatedly to show that they remembered this, and then nodded to express satisfaction.

These two wingers with good explosive power and fast speed are necessary conditions for him to play defensive counterattack tactics. On the football field, the way he can quickly pass the opponent's midfield is either a long pass or a fast horse, and other methods are relatively slow. There are not such good long pass experts in the second division, so what he can consider is the speed player.

There are many African immigrants in France, so it is not difficult to find one or two fast ones.

But another problem is the technical characteristics. French players have very different technical characteristics, and their extraordinary skills are very good, but their shooting skills are all average. For the guidance of ankle movements, the French are at the forefront of the world, but they are indeed not good at shooting skills. Kubis dared not bet that his two players are good alternatives and can practice shooting skills.

Rodriguez's technical characteristics are relatively close to that of another legendary star in France. He has no speed and no extraordinary skills, but his shooting skills are good. Therefore, his request is to hand the ball over to Rodriguez and let Rodriguez be responsible for shooting.

As for the winger cutting inward, it must be eliminated resolutely. There are not many good opportunities for the team to defend and counterattack. If you have a few shots in a game, the head coach can commit suicide.

"You are the only people in the team who do not participate in defense, so the attack task will be heavier than others. Remember, I will not arrange too many people to help you, because others are still in the backcourt. Whether we can score goals, win, or upgrade depends entirely on you."

Kubis's words made Zhao Yaning feel excited and nodded quickly to agree.

Kubis looked at the two and smiled, "Don't be so nervous, it's just a warm-up match, and the opponent is Lyon, so we don't want to win. Our original purpose is just to test whether the defensive system on the back line is complete."

For a team, defense is the most important thing, and Kubis has always believed in this.

"Joey, tomorrow is your left side, which is the main breakthrough. Lyon's left back is Casapa, and the left forward is Doraso, one is Brazil international and the other is France international. Both have high levels and it is difficult for Gregorian to succeed. On your side, although Lyon's right back De Frandel is also an international, but after all, it is only the international of the Belgian national team, and its level is slightly worse."

In fact, whether it is Casapa or Doraso, they can only be considered marginal internationals in the Brazilian national team and the French national team. However, De Frandel is a little more stable in the Belgian national team. However, Brazil is the last World Cup runner-up with France, and the talents are at a burst of time. Casapa has a wizard like Carlos in its position, while Doraso has to compete for the national team quota with Pire, Carrier, Miku, Gulli and others. Relatively speaking, there are no talents in the Belgian national team, and even the main players are much worse than the marginal countries of France and Brazil.

But Zhao Yaning heard another question, "Head, who is the wing forward on my side? Will he participate in the return defense?"

This question made Cubis shook his head, "Lyon's right forward is Juninho. He just arrived in France this year, and I don't have much information. I only know that he is a Brazilian, 26 years old, can play in multiple positions of shadow forward, wing forward, midfielder, and central forward. It is said that he has excellent pass and control and leadership, and has a free kick skill. He is also a marginal international player, but I don't know much about the specific details."

Zhao Yaning has never heard of this name. Although Brazil's genius has always been famous, when it comes to mention the name Juninho, the young scholar, and no impression.

But I came to Europe at the age of 26, and I still have the Ligue 1 league. Is the level not high?

"There is no data statistics, or transfer fee information?" Racombe asked from the side.

Kubis shook his head, "Although the Brazilian São Paulo State League is the highest-level league in Brazil, it is only a state-level league after all, and FIFA's statistics do not recognize it. Brazil's national league is a mess, not even a double loop system, and it is not recognized. The data is not at all. As for the transfer fee... it is signed for free."

This made Zhao Yaning and Lacombe very interested.

And Kubis is willing to tell them.

The parent team of Jujuño is Vasco da Gama, which is also a strong team in São Paulo State, Brazil. In 1998, he also won the South American Liberators Cup and lost 1-2 to Real Madrid in the Toyota Cup match against Real Madrid. In that game, Real Madrid scored Raul, while Da Gama scored the goal of Jujuño, a young player - and another goal was the own goal of Da Gama Nassa.

But just after that year, Dagama was almost relegated. Although there were marginal internationals such as Romario, Jurgenho, Juninho, etc. in the team, if it weren't for another team in São Paulo, Sao Paulo, who was found to have been deducted points because of the player's age modification, they would have been relegated.

Since then, the team has also begun to decline. No sponsor is willing to give them money and owes a lot of money. Last summer, Lyon proposed to buy Juninho. Da Gama's team had already made a big statement, not counting the transfer fee, and asked Lyon to repay Da Gama's money owed to Atletico Madrid for them. This made Lyon's chairman, Olas, who was very careful in living his life, very dissatisfied. The business was not going to continue.

But in winter, Da Gama couldn't hold on. Romario, Juninho, Jurgenho and others sued the team one after another, with the reason that Da Gama was owed wages. But Da Gama really couldn't pay it. Romario had only $700,000, but it was good to pay it back. However, Juninho had been owed for many years, and the club actually owed him as much as $5.4 million in salary. With so much money, Da Gama could not pay it out even if he had to force it. If he continued, the club would go bankrupt.

In the end, the court could only sentence Juninho and the club to terminate the contract, but the salary was left unresolved.

"It's great to say that Gama is awesome. As soon as the contract is terminated, Juninho is not allowed to go to the club to train. It was winter. The winter transfer just ended, Juninho was still owed his salary, and he had no money and no place to train. It was really miserable."

"Lyon took the opportunity to take action? So smart." Zhao Yaning exclaimed.

"How is that easy? Juninho was training in the football training school run by Rivaldo at that time, and he also took the life relief he gave him. He stayed until this summer before he transferred to Lyon."

"That Rivaldo from Barcelona?" Zhao Yaning was a little surprised.

"Well. It is said that Rivaldo wanted to recommend him to Barcelona, ​​but Juninho was eager to play as the main player to catch up with next year's World Cup, so he was unwilling to go to Barcelona to compete for his job, but came to Lyon."

The player who can go to Barcelona, ​​has been teammates with Romario, has broken the goal of Real Madrid in the Club World Cup, and is also a friend of Rivaldo, who is qualified to compete for the Brazilian team in the 2002 World Cup. Zhao Yaning has a rough understanding of what level of player this is.

"He is worse than Doraso?" The only thing Zhao Yaning couldn't believe is this sentence.

"He is a Brazilian, a Brazilian frontcourt, and has played for the striker. Have you ever seen a Brazilian frontcourt who is keen on defense?"

This is true. Although Brazil is talented in the frontcourt, most of them don’t like to defend. Should this Juninho be the same?

"What you need to worry about is not him at all, and even De Frandel may not be on the court. Maybe their young player Clake plays a friendly match. The most important thing you need to worry about is Cameroon international midfielder Vivianfo, and another Brazilian country, defender Ed Milson, to make up for defense. The level of these people is not low, they are the key."

"Why are all international players?" Zhao Yaning muttered.

"Are you a strong team? Which one is not like this? Stars gather and masters gather."

Is this the case for strong teams?

Zhao Yaning did not say anything.
