Chapter 82 Offensive or Defensive?

Win Dong Fangzhuo?

When Deschamps said this, no one believed it.

This is impossible... Griezmann, the team's number one star, denied this statement in his heart. If he could beat him, Dong Fangzhuo would have nothing to worry about in the past few years, but now Dong Fangzhuo is still so fierce, and he is still the number one player in the world. Even Messi and Ronaldo occasionally beat him, but for others, nothing really happened...

However, just because you can't win against him doesn't mean you can let him win.

"Paul,"

"You must be ruthless in your defense in the middle and bring your defense to the midfield." Griezmann touched his smooth chin, hoping to provide some advice to the French team.

"This time we can't put the defense too far back. The Chinese team is too special."

"I suggest we learn from Atletico Madrid's defensive tactics."

In today's European football, only Atletico Madrid has the highest defensive level. Simeone's team has played beautiful defensive counterattacks in recent years. Griezmann's suggestion was actually very good, and even Deschamps made a gesture of listening carefully.

"Atletico Madrid generally uses a 442 mid-range defensive position, which is more flexible and can advance, attack, retreat or defend. It is especially beneficial for counterattacks."

"Everyone participates in the defense. One of the two forwards presses the defender with the ball, and the other marks the opponent's midfielder."

"One of the reasons why Atletico defends so effectively is that there are always players pressing the ball as the opponent passes the ball."

"When the ball hits the wing, the players will provide safe coverage and block the passing route. The problem with defending in the midfield is that the situation will be passive, but Atletico Madrid's players are very active in the game and will make up for it in time. , strictly prohibiting the opponent from forming an offensive numerical advantage, and at the same time controlling the ball carrier at the first opportunity and blocking his passing options.”

Obviously, Griezmann has played for Atletico Madrid for so many years and has learned the true skills of Simeone and knows Atletico Madrid's defensive art well.

"We can copy Atletico Madrid's defensive tactics."

"We need to control both sides. When the Chinese team moves from one side to the other, our overall formation must also move quickly without destroying the integrity and compactness of the defensive formation. The defensive formation must be able to constantly change with the game. , This requires good physical support, and we have plenty of physical fitness. Our defense is always active, and our defense is enough to effectively resist for 90 minutes.

"After killing the two wingers, we are actually just keeping an eye on the Chinese Dong in the middle."

"Don't forget, when they try to hand the ball to the Chinese Dong, our counterattack opportunity can come out at any time."

"But we have to show weakness."

"Stop our pride."

Griezmann's head is still very clear. He is afraid that his teammates will all think that he is a big star, and playing against the Chinese team will be like chopping melons and vegetables. But how many teams actually died at the feet of Dong Fangzhuo? There are already too many to count.

"Anthony is right, we have to show weakness."

“We actually don’t have anything to show off because we have gained nothing so far.”

"Unless, we think there's still a lot of time, there's the next four years."

Mbappe had been listening silently, and finally couldn't help but say a few words.

"We can't prevent it."

"Defense is not the answer."

"Defensive counterattack is not an option either."

He said three sentences in a row.

"What?"

"Killian, do you know what you're talking about?"

Pogba looked unhappy.

"You said we can't guard against it, so why don't you give us your opinion?"

"If we don't defend well, why don't we make way for them?"

"Do you know what we are facing? Facing the most powerful and annoying guy in the world!"

"I can't wait to destroy him directly!"

"Paul, can you speak without personal feelings? He is my master." Mbappe's eyes sparkled. He was actually quite disgusted with Pogba, and he was not the same person.

If he wasn't in a national team, he wouldn't even bother to catch Pogba.

"Listen to what I have to say."

"When we thought we were going to stop them defensively, the end result might be to create more scoring opportunities for him. He would find a way to score. Defensive counterattacks are not the best tactic."

"We should attack,"

"Crazy attack,"

"Leave him without any helpers to support him, leaving him to fight alone. Although I believe that even if he fights alone, he may still score goals. But there is no better tactic than cutting off his left and right hands. After all, His power alone is limited."

"Then we scored more goals than them."

Mbappe shrugged.

These words once again plunged France into silence and contradiction.

Offensive or defensive?

Even Deschamps is temporarily undecided...

…

…

On the morning of the 6th, Dong Fangzhuo bought fruit and went to the hospital to visit Krauchen.

"Old man,"

"If Feng Renliang is still healthy, I think we can do something more unexpected."

"We only have one Feng Jin now."

"I fought without a front."

"In addition, I still need a helper, a helper to pass the ball to me."

"What do you think about putting Zheng Zhi back in the midfielder position? I'm just worried that he won't be able to run."

Krauchen's spirit was obviously much better, and he chuckled.

"hehe,"

"Actually, you have already made your decision. You just want to hear my thoughts."

"Actually, it's not necessary. Now that you've decided, go ahead and do it resolutely. Although Zheng Zhi is old, if he uses it well, the first sixty minutes may really bring surprises."

"How do you plan to fight specifically?"

Dong Fangzhuo then revealed his specific tactics.

…

…

At three o'clock in the afternoon on the 6th, Dong Fangzhuo and Zheng Zhi attended the press conference together. Only this time Dong Fangzhuo is not just a Chinese player, he is also the interim coach.

It seems quite strange that the younger Dong Fangzhuo became the coach, while the older Zheng Zhi was still a player.

China's future is supported by these two people.

"Dong, are you ready to face the French team?"

"From the first minute we came here, we were ready to face any team. France is not special."

"What starting lineup will you field?"

"Confidentiality,"

"I'll only reveal it twenty minutes before the game."

"What tactics do you think France will use?"

"You should ask the French coach about this question. We are not worried about their tactics, they are worried about us."

"Will you take the responsibility for scoring goals today?"

…

"This Dong is trying to be mysterious."

"But it's no use no matter how much you avoid it, no one can provide you with support."

Deschamps actually still wanted to know the starting lineup of the Chinese team, but Dong Fangzhuo refused to say anything. At this time, he had actually made up his mind.
