Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 430
Zhang Yuan and Khedira finalized the bet in a few words. The bet was too small, but Khedira still wanted to win Zhang Yuan. He thought to himself that I had to practice heading well, because he also played a role in corner kicks, and he also played a role in tactical arrangements. He is not a cover role yet.

After waiting for a long time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the 3-minute stoppage time did not arrive.

Deportivo players seemed to have no face to stay here, and few players came to shake hands with Real Madrid players to exchange jerseys, and left the scene as if fleeing. Indeed, if it was Zhang Yuan, he would probably not be in the mood. 3:0 is justified , 6:1 can only say that Depor played a bit poorly this time!
Of course, their head coach Lotina would not stay here, he touched Mourinho's hand in embarrassment, and he left too!
The Real Madrid players were all smiles, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who was happy to see everyone. Unfortunately, there must be some hat-tricks, but two passes and two shots are not bad. He is the best player in Real Madrid. Big Brother!
He must be the best player in the game, and Zhang Yuan is also very good, but he is still a little worse than Ronaldo!
But Mourinho praised him, and at the press conference, the reporters asked Zhang Yuan what he thought of his performance.

"He performed very well. During this period of time, he was the best player in the team, bar none! I think this game is his best performance in Real Madrid!"

Doesn't the game against Ajax count? !Many reporters have question marks all over their heads, and of course some reporters will ask about this comparison.

"He is quite smart in this game, and he is playing for a team, which is very important!" Mourinho said the biggest difference between the two.

In the early stage, Zhang Yuan was not familiar with the new position. Mourinho acquiesced in his shit-stirring style of play, but now Zhang Yuan is getting familiar with it. Of course, he hopes that Zhang Yuan can become a team player. There will be some freedom, but Mourinho actually hopes that both Zhang Yuan and Ronaldo should move closer to the center position and interact with Higuain. Real Madrid has a passer, and what he increases is his finishing ability.

Higuain's strength is still recognized by Mourinho, but Higuain is very embarrassed now. The two people on the side road are masters who like to shoot. They don't interact enough with Higuain. This is not what Mourinho wants. Yes, even if Higuain is not a strong forward, he also takes this position very seriously.

The press conference was also very lively. Of course, Mourinho was arrogant in front of the reporters after winning the big victory. He said to the reporters: "I have two Champions League champions, and several league champions and cup champions! You have achieved these achievements. Don’t rely on your mouth to get it in your life! Some people say that I am not suitable to be the head coach of Real Madrid, I am not qualified, who can be qualified!”

He was smirking. The media said that he was out of talent and couldn't play in La Liga. Now that he has won a big victory, his character is of course going to fight back.

After talking about this, he began to speak ironically again. He had criticized the schedule of La Liga before. The example he gave was that Barcelona’s schedule is more favorable than that of Real Madrid. Today he said: “Our schedule is good. With six league matches, the player's state can be continued!"

This is obviously an irony, who can't tell, Mourinho often does such things, in fact, it is to decompress the team, it sounds like you are targeting Real Madrid everywhere, we can't get anything Champions are also normal.

Mourinho was the protagonist at the press conference, and Lotina sat next to him like watching a show, but the press conference didn't last long, and Mourinho thought, "I'm too lazy to chat with you!"

After the match against Deportivo, Zhang Yuan set off to return to China on October 10th. On the day of the national team match, the Chinese team arranged two friendly matches, one against Syria and the other against Uruguay, both in China.

The Asian Cup will be held in January next year, and the Chinese team has high expectations. Coach Gao is under a lot of pressure. He led the team to play well in the qualifiers, which gave him a lot of ambition.

Of course, this ambition is also good. For personal reasons, I want to sit in this position for a few more years, to become the person remembered by the fans, and to wait for the public fans for many years. He is also a player and wants to repay the support of the fans. Looking forward to it.

The current Chinese team is actually not top-notch in Asia. There are Australia, Japan, South Korea, etc. in front of them, but Coach Gao feels that he should have a dream. Who gave the Chinese team a Zhang Yuan...

Previously, coach Gao dreamed of playing Barcelona-style ball possession, and Zhang Yuan could be the most important end point. Later, he found that it was not possible, and the strength of the Chinese team players could not do it.

Chinese players may be no different from foreign players when they were young. Orientals do not lack IQ or golf quotient. The golf quotient is even more mysterious. It may not be clear for Professor Zhuanjia to explain it. Chinese players are not good at golf quotient. This is not theirs. There is a lack of talent but a lack of environment. There are too few players in China, and the players are different from foreign players. If you enter a football school, you will learn a lot of rigid things, and it will be like that...

Then the Chinese team feels that there are more and more team players, lacking individuality and creativity. Of course, you can’t expect any artistic football from a team without much creativity...

This can’t be helped. All club youth training in China teach players about teamwork. Everyone knows that football is a team sport. As a result, players become more and more team-trained, and their individual abilities stagnate.

But without strong individuals, team football is also very difficult, otherwise the football world would not go crazy to buy good players.

Coach Gao thinks that the players are not good enough, but he himself is not good either. Tactics such as how to run and how to deal with high-position pressing are easy to say, but there are many things to do, and he can only roughly know.

After much deliberation, this is not enough, so he has the ability to push Zhang Yuan higher and let Zhang Yuan take on more responsibilities. He had an idea before, and Zhang Yuan is also very effective under the new tactical system, but Coach Gao is still not satisfied. He thought of another attacking midfielder, which is also very popular in football these years, that is a breakthrough attacking midfielder, such as Kaka!
Strong breakthrough ability, outstanding scoring ability, can create opportunities for teammates, get closer to the midfield, and relieve some pressure on defense. After all, Zhang Yuan's passing ability is also good. The Chinese team only relies on Zhang Yuan's finishing ability. It's too useless to use the idea. Coach Gao himself thinks this idea is good.

This time when Zhang Yuan came back, Coach Gao invited Zhang Yuan to his room, and the coaching staff had a conversation with Zhang Yuan.

"Front midfielder?!" Zhang Yuan was a little puzzled. It's not like he hasn't played the midfielder before. He has done it in Rimini and Schalke 04, but the number of times is not too many, but he can also play.

"Zhang Yuan, let me be blunt. I have studied your videos. You have always had a very good breakthrough ability. Later, you gradually reduced the number of breakthroughs, became more teamwork, and your shooting skills began to be superb. But now in the country You are only a striker, I think you are inferior! I think the breakthrough midfielder position is more suitable for you!"

"You know that our overall strength is not high, and the midfield also needs your help!"

"But my defensive ability is not good." Zhang Yuan said. In fact, he does not reject the position of the national team's midfielder. It doesn't matter if it is far away from the goal. The second striker he played last time was actually a midfielder.

Coach Gao wants to play with one attacking midfielder and two forwards? !Zhang Yuan thought to himself.

He also guessed right, Coach Gao just wanted to play as a double striker, but he didn't rule out using Real Madrid's current formation of 4231.

"It doesn't matter much. Your main role is still on offense, and you must know the timing and options to play the ball. Use your tandem to keep the ball at our feet as much as possible, reducing the pressure on the midfield." Coach Gao Patiently explained that doing so would of course be suspected of betting the treasure on Zhang Yuan.

But after much deliberation, at least the rare Zhang Yuan can make his teammates accept to revolve around him. Today's Zhang Yuan is still not much better than his teammates, but his status has changed a lot.

It's better to focus on Zhang Yuan as a core and let the players know what to do. The previous core, Zheng Zhi, was known as a butcher, and he was definitely not as good as Zhang Yuan in terms of feet.

Coach Gao not only explained the new position to Zhang Yuan, but also said a lot of things related to tactics, because Zhang Yuan had the heaviest task, so Coach Gao explained in more detail, but in practice he still gave Zhang Yuan a lot of freedom This is much more free than Real Madrid.

Of course, Coach Gao has other considerations, such as how to deploy defensively. Zhang Yuan plays the front midfielder. The front two forwards are his first choice. The full-backs will not overpress him. In offense, he hopes that Zhang Yuan can form a strong synergy with the two forwards. That's right, to put it bluntly, he now uses Zhang Yuan as the command tower for offense, and he will devote more energy to defense, and the rest of the midfield, including the defenders, will not give him too much support.
