Chapter 343 New ideas

"A brilliant counterattack!"

"A goal just before the end of the first half!"

"That goal clearly saved the ticket price for this game!"

......

The commentators at the game were not on Burton's side, but were cheering for Tottenham Hotspur.

However, no matter what he says, Li Yanqing won't care.

His attention was entirely focused on the game.

The tactical core of this match was clearly Araujo, Kaptum, and Deulofeu.

That's right, it's not a single player, but a short-passing system consisting of the three of them.

However, due to the short training time, it felt somewhat like being forced into a situation.

With this performance, it's not bad at all.

However, it is clearly still far from passing.

"DeLo!"

"Don't shoot, break through and pass the ball to Quinn or Bale!"

Li Yanqing decisively removed Deulofeu's right to fire.

First of all, he doesn't have shooting skills.

Secondly, he was in poor condition.

If he can serve as the core for targeted detonation after recovering, then he's already worth more than his price.

"Yes, boss!"

Deulofeu, who was deprived of his right to fire, was not discouraged; on the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's hard to describe the mental state of a striker.

I don't want to shoot...

As for Bell, his reaction upon hearing the instructions was completely different.

His task in this game was to help his teammates draw away the defensive players.

Even if he's not in top form, it's impossible for others not to send someone to keep an eye on him; the situation from the finals could easily repeat itself...

Now that he knew he also had a chance to shoot, he immediately perked up.

He loves shooting!

Especially when you score a goal!

That's what a striker should be thinking about.

"Don't worry, we still have time."

"Manolas, move back a bit!"

After adjusting the frontcourt, Li Yanqing began adjusting the backcourt.

In fact, it had been a long time since he had made such detailed adjustments to the team.

I always felt that Joe Hart and Quinn could solve the problem on their own.

However, it turns out that when there is a significant gap in strength or when their own roster is incomplete, they are temporarily unable to command the team.

Hart is a little better, but Quinn is just too young.

Still needs to be tested.

Li Yanqing's performance did not escape Mourinho's notice.

Only then did the latter smile slightly, realizing that the former was finally starting to take the game seriously.

So, let's go.

He saw through the stalling strategy and scored a goal.

How will Burton deal with the Tottenham team he has coached?

"Sir, I think you're being a little too nervous."

"It seems that Li's skill level is quite average; he didn't even arrange the formation properly."

"A completely confrontational tactical deployment was used."

On the sidelines, Mourinho's new assistant seemed to have little respect for Li Yanqing's tactics.

I feel like I could easily win.

You're mistaken.

"Knowing him as I do, he might just be setting a trap for us somewhere."

"We must maintain the status quo."

"One to zero isn't safe enough; we need to score another one."

The assistant couldn't understand Mourinho's words yet.

Wasn't the opposing team fielding this lineup because they needed to rotate players for rest?

In counter-attacking formations that require quick passes into the opponent's half to create scoring opportunities, a short passing system is used to advance the attack.

It seems like a last resort.

"You'll understand when you see for yourself..."

Mourinho didn't want to explain further because he himself didn't quite understand it yet.

But his intuition is always accurate; this match is definitely not going to be that simple...

Soon, the first half was over.

Li Yanqing rushed to the locker room immediately and praised his team's defense.

"Well done, guys."

"Only one goal was conceded, which is within acceptable limits."

"You know what to do in the second half, right?"

"Of course! Score a goal! Then take the lead!" Ogradi jumped out; he was quite familiar with this rhythm.

Back when they were still in the Championship, the team often came back to take the lead in the second half...

"How to do it exactly?"

Does the tactic need to be adjusted?

Kui was now filled with confusion.

He rarely encounters situations where he doesn't understand the tactics at all, and the formation they're currently playing is clearly beyond his knowledge.

Just like Mourinho's assistant, I also found it outrageous.

It's not fast enough, it's a complete waste of opportunity.

"Of course."

"You three, pay attention to your positions in the second half."

Li Yanqing was clearly referring to his own family's "three treasures of short passes".

"Araujo, don't go past Quinn, and don't push forward either."

"After stealing the ball, immediately pass it to Captum; if there's no clear route, pass it to Quinn."

"Kapp, once you get the ball, don't dribble it, just pass it to Delo."

"As for DeLorean, you stay in the midfield position to receive the ball. After you get the ball, you can choose to break through or pass to the middle, either way is fine."

"In short, we need to get the ball into the opponent's half as soon as possible."

After observing the first half of the game, Li Yanqing realized that he was still a bit too bound by the system.

Who says short passes have to involve slowly running into a wall?

Once you set the target distance at midfield and get the ball there as quickly as possible, the rest will be easy to handle.

"Then, Murphy, come with me to warm up."

"It's your time to prove yourself..."

At the start of the second half, Li Yanqing substituted Murphy for Ogradi.

Yes, he is the best choice to cooperate with Deulofeu and the others.

As long as the pass is fast enough, there will always be a one-on-one opportunity.

As for the other positions, no changes are needed for the time being.

Dybala, the team's most valuable player, really wanted to play, and he had previously asked Li Yanqing to let him play.

But just a few days earlier, Miss Fanny had shown him a report.

It means that he is more prone to injury than others.

Therefore, his playing time is now completely controlled by the head coach.

Clearly, this match will mainly focus on counter-attacks, requiring players to travel long distances, so he won't have many opportunities to play.

But Murphy was already itching to get started and couldn't wait any longer.

His appearances this season have visibly decreased, and his goal tally is also disappointing.

He doesn't look like the super rookie he used to be at all.

Fortunately, Li Yanqing did not forget him.

It's fair to say that he's currently the one who most hopes the short-passing system will succeed.

That would be the perfect opportunity for him to rack up points...
