Chapter 91 Tactical Conference

"Mr. Fasar." Shania found the agent who was reading a book alone in the living room.

"Ah, Shania, what's the matter?" Fasar took off his glasses and looked back at her.

"Can I take two days off?"

"It's your turn to play soon, Shania..." Fasar had a headache when he heard this request. He stood up and explained to Shania.

“When exactly?”

"The crew plans to shoot a drama with you on the 22nd."

Hearing Fasal say this, Shania frowned her brows, and the tip of her nose raised, and even if she was worried, she looked very cute.

Fasar guessed her intention to ask for leave, but he did not say it out loud: "Where do you want to go?"

“Russia, Moscow.”

Fasar smiled: "If you just watch a game, one day will be enough."

Shania also plans to find Tang En's post after the game, but now it seems that time is not allowed. She sighed: "Yes, if you just watch one game, there will be enough time. Please book two air tickets to Moscow, Mr. Fasar."

"Two cards? I won't go..." Fasar thought Shania was going to take him to watch the game, but in fact he still had a lot of things to be busy with. Shania left, so someone here had to be responsible for contacting all parties, right?

Unexpectedly, Shania rolled her eyes: "It's me and Chris."

"Have she received the tickets too?" Fasar suddenly realized that it was Chris Gronia. Done's friend, now he is familiar with Shania because of this relationship.

"Yeah." Xianya nodded.

"Okay, no problem. Also, Tony's side..."

Shania waved her hand: "You are not allowed to tell him."

"Do you want to give him a surprise?"

"No." Shania smiled, "I just don't want to distract him from this."

The day before the game, he was in the conference room of the hotel where he was staying. Nottingham Forest is holding his last tactical meeting.

At this meeting, we will analyze the tactics that Chelsea may use in the finals, personnel matching, and Nottingham Forest’s countermeasures. Whether we can win in the game, in addition to the coach’s on-site command, depends on the results at this time. This is a concentrated reflection of the wisdom of the entire coaching staff.

At this time, the protagonist is generally Tang, and Tang En is just responsible for sitting by the side and listening.

Tang Hui fluently took Piao Tianwen to learn Chinese dialogues, and he would encounter such a talent. Is there such a football talent everywhere in China? Obviously not, otherwise why is the level of Chinese football getting lower and lower every year?

I can only say that Tony Don is surprisingly lucky!

"... Based on the information over the past few days, we speculate that Chelsea will send such a starting lineup in the finals-" Tang pointed to the tactical board and told the players that Chelsea's possible lineup has been drawn on it. "In terms of goalkeepers, it is Cech. The center backs are Terry and Carvalho, the left back is Ashley Cole, who returned from injury, and the right back..."

Right back has always been Chelsea’s weakness. Although Mourinho has been working hard on this aspect when he was there, the people who bought the land are always unsatisfactory.

"We think it will be Essin." This is the result of the coaching staff's discussion. The players will not know how the result was obtained, and it is useless to tell them. They only need to know one result. During the discussion, there is a disagreement within the coaching staff.

Chris Lack believes that what Grant lacks is experience, and he should send former Barcelona player Beletti, who has experience in the UEFA Champions League final, as the starting right-back. His view has been agreed by half of the coaches, after all, what Chelsea lacks the most now is experience.

But Don had a different opinion. He believed that Beletti was in a state that was unstable and was older, so his existence would become Chelsea's weakness in such a fierce final. On the contrary, Essin, who was used as a panacea, was more likely to appear in this position, not to mention that he played left and right full-backs and central defenders when he debuted. There was no problem of being unacceptable.

Finally, Donn made a decisive opinion. “If Chelsea sent Beletti, then their right side would become the area we focused on attacking. Grant must know how sharp Nottingham Forest’s wing attack is, and Beletti’s defense is not at the same level as Essin. Don’t worry about how crazy that guy was talking before the game, he would definitely seek stability in the finals, at least in defense. So, Essin, who is good at defending and physically, is more likely to appear in the starting right-back position.”

"In the midfield, Lampard, Marklele and Barack. And Joe Cole will be the starters. The forwards are Maluda and Drogba. It looks like 442. The game may turn into 433, and Joe Cole will move forward to become a winger. Drogba is in the center, and he and Maluda will be on the left and right. The three midfielders stand in parallel.

After talking about Chelsea, it is time to announce the Nottingham Forest starting lineup. This is what Forest players are most concerned about. Being able to play in the Champions League final is a kind of honor.

The final of the Champions League is different from the league. You cannot easily adopt a rotation system. If you have the strongest lineup, you will naturally have to send the strongest lineup.

"Goaler Van der Sar." There is no suspense. As long as Van der Sar is not injured or in a stable state, he will definitely be the main force. No matter how talented Ajinfeyev is, he can only be a substitute.

"Central defenders Pepe and Pique, the main task of you two is to control Drogba, don't make him active, use your physical advantage to squeeze him out of the penalty area, don't give him a chance, don't let him shoot. Tony hopes not to see him in the finals."

The two nodded, indicating that they understood their mission.

"Fullback. Gareth Bale on the left, Rafinia on the right." This is a full-scale full-back lineup. What is Tang En's idea of ​​playing in his mind? You should be completely clear when you see this - he wants to use his attack on the wing in the final to suppress Chelsea's two wings.

"Midfielder George Wood, Van der Fatt, Ribery and..." At this point, Tang paused for a moment. He looked up at Tang En sitting next to him, and then continued, "Lennon."

This decision was a little surprised. Beckham was certainly injured. But it was just a minor injury after all, and it was not enough to be at the venue. However, under the strict discipline requirements of long-term development, there was no noise in the conference room. Except for Lennon himself, the others looked as usual.

Tang was still reading this starting list, while Tang En was secretly observing everyone's expressions, hoping to understand the inner thoughts of these people through their subtle expression changes. The moment the name "Lennon" came out, a trace of disappointment flashed across David Beckham's face. This change did not escape Tang En's eyes.

“Forwards Van Nystruey and Eastwood.”

Danish boy Bentner waited patiently until the end, but did not hear his name from it. Unlike Beckham, his disappointment was beyond words.

In the four seasons he joined the Forest, Nottingham Forest entered the Champions League final for three consecutive seasons since the 2005-06 season. This is a proud result. But for Bentner himself, this is really not worth mentioning, because he has never started... As a star of tomorrow who is highly anticipated, this treatment is really embarrassing... He is the main striker in the Denmark national team. He has no chance to start at Nottingham Forest.

Originally, after Viduca left, he once thought that his future in Nottingham Forest was bright. Unexpectedly, Tony Donn turned around and bought the Van Nistrui that Manchester United didn't want! Now, as a powerful center, he was forced to accept the reality that he could only serve as a substitute for Van Nistrui. At first, he thought that Van Nistrui's age began to grow and his condition would definitely decline. At that time, it would be a chance to turn over. Unexpectedly... Van Nistrui's old gun was getting better and better in Nottingham Forest, and only injuries could defeat him. But in the past two years, he was all minor injuries, which was not enough to affect his condition and playing time.

Thinking of this, Bentener suddenly felt that his future in Nottingham Forest was dark...

Tang En is still observing, and Tang has begun to explain the specific tactics of the Forest team in the game.

"...Fifteen minutes into the game, hold on. Then the two full-backs actively stepped forward. Midfielder George Wood dragged back, Van der Sar appeared in the front midfielder, and Ribery and Lennon were slightly retracted inward. "Tang said while drawing the team's formation on the tactical board. In the midfield, it is a diamond. However, it is different from the general classic 442 diamond stand. This diamond is not a flat length, but a diamond that lengthens the distance between the front and back midfielders. In fact, it is a flat diamond.

Ribery and Lennon retracted inward. In the center line, they are the relay stations connecting the back and front midfielders, and at the same time give way to the forward insertion of the two full-backs. In actual game, if they run forward in a straight line, they are targeting Chelsea's ground ribs. If they are diagonally, they can go on the sideline or go to the middle. In short, they can make decisions based on the situation on the field, which is very flexible and versatile. Since Van der Fate is very close to the front line, his task is not the offensive organizer, but only responsible for the last pass or direct long shot. So who is responsible for the offensive organization?

"George." Tang En stood up and took Tang's words, "The position in the game is much more flexible than the current tactical board. From defense to offense, you organize the offense."

George Wood was a little surprised. Let him organize the offense in such an important game? Is Tony Don't have a brain problem?

However, Tang En did not explain much. After saying this, he sat down again and returned the dominance to Tang.

The tactical meeting continued, but some people have become absent-minded...

After the meeting, the players left the conference room one after another, and Don called David Beckham, and they wanted to say something privately.

Everyone knows why Donn kept Beckham, it must be because of that starting list. He may have to give some explanation. Bentner turned his head and looked at Donn and Beckham who were staying in the conference room, a little jealous. Why are Beckham who are also not on the starting list? Beckham can be left alone to listen to the head coach's explanation. And he can't do it himself? This is really a reality that he can't accept...

Everyone left, and Bentner looked at the door of the conference room that was closed again, and then he turned around and left unwillingly.

In the empty conference room, Beckham and Tony Don sat opposite each other, and he looked at Don opposite him and said, "You are looking for me because of the starting list, boss?"

"When the two of us are there, don't call me a 'head'. Call me 'Tony'." Tang En scratched his head, thinking in his mind how to start this topic better. "Well, I know you may be a little disappointed with it."

"To be honest, there is one thing. Although I am old, I still want to participate in the Champions League final again. But I know that you must have your reasons for making this arrangement. You are the head coach. Although we are good friends, I have the same attitude as you in terms of the competition."

What attitude is that the team requirements are prioritized. Beckham is a world-class star. But there has never been any scandal in his career that he had a conflict with the team's head coach because he wanted to get a chance to play. On the one hand, he always had a stable appearance position, and on the other hand, it was related to his professional ethics.

Don't be grateful to Beckham for understanding him so much. Everyone knows that he has a good personal relationship with Beckham. If Beckham uses this relationship to force Don't be able to give him a stable starting position in the main, then Don't be able to manage the team. Because in this way, the team will be divided into two parts: "the head coach's direct line" and "the general relationship with the head coach", and it is inevitable that the split will be inevitable.

Fortunately, Beckham never did such a thing that ruined the head coach's prestige.

"Yes, the only reason is tactical needs. Lennon has the ability to push forward. He and Ribery can fully disrupt Chelsea's defense on both sides..."

Beckham didn't say anything, he didn't plan to find reasons for himself to play. Anyway, the head coach decided that he would have to abide by any means. In his last season at Real Madrid, Capello didn't like him and threw him into the cold palace. He silently accepted it, but he chose to leave in the end.

Tang En also knew how cruel it would be for a veteran who was eager to prove himself again. Maybe this was the last time he had a chance to stand in the finals of the Champions League, but he could only be a spectator.

"But you are on the bench." This may be a comfort. "It is also a tactical need, and I may also send you out. After all, your long shots and passes can still cause a lot of trouble for Chelsea."

Beckham smiled.

Donn felt something was wrong, and he asked Beckham: "Is there any problem?"

"Don't you think it's not good for you to do this, Tony?" said Beckham.

"Not very good? Which place are you referring to?"

"I'll leave me here and tell me that I don't have to worry about not being able to play. You're on the bench. You have a chance."

"Uh..." Don still doesn't quite understand what Beckham means.

"What would those who are not on the starting list think? Tony."

"Ah!" Tang En suddenly realized.

"Don't do this next time. I'm not a child who doesn't know anything. Although you always say you should treat everyone equally, sometimes I don't think you treat me like an ordinary player."

Don Eun looked at Beckham and giggled. Of course. As a fan who watched you grow up, you have spent more than a dozen years of youth with me. Although I worked hard, I can't completely treat you as an ordinary player...

Just like Albertini, some people have left an indelible mark in my short twenty-six years of life.  I watched them appear in the professional football field for the first time as a young boy, and then watch them win, win the championship, and hold the beauty.                                                                                               �

You said, David, how could I treat you as ordinary players? I just don’t want the feelings to be completely overwhelming.

You only signed a contract with me for two years. You said that if you can still play in two years, you will go to the United States to accompany your wife. Victoria gave up on herself for two years to satisfy your selfishness, so you will pay it back twice. Now, there is still one year left. I sent Albertini a year ago, and a year later, what gift should I send you away?

I can't tell you what's going on in the future, so this year and tomorrow will be the game.

"If nothing happens, can I go back?" Beckham asked.

Tang En came to his senses and nodded: "Sleep well, David, be more energetic tomorrow."

"You treat me as a rookie again." Beckham smiled helplessly.

"Ah...sorry." Tang En patted his forehead. "Goodbye, David."

"Goodbye...Boss." Beckham said as he went out to close the door.

When Tang En was the only one left in the conference room, he sat down, leaned on the back of the chair, and breathed a long sigh.

Another decisive battle. Since he accidentally traveled here and became the head coach of this team, how many such decisive battles have he experienced? He has long been unable to remember. At first, he would think that this was his first game, second game, third game, and later it became - which game this is? Who cares about that! As long as you win, it's fine!

It is the land, quantity has no meaning, only the results are valuable.   In the next ten or twenty years, I will experience more such decisive battles, and it is so stupid to lament about this.

This is just a small step in my coaching career.
