324. Earth Defense Force Formation (2) (Edited)
Team A showed an overwhelming performance in the 7-on-7 mini-game that started to unite players and warm up.
There is only one reason.
“Huh…”
“Is this the first time you two work together?”
“That can’t be possible… didn’t you two secretly kick the ball somewhere?”
This is because the chemistry between Iniesta and Woo Ho-young, who met for the first time today, was unbelievably great.
They were in sync just by looking at each other’s movements, as if they had been working together for a long time.
Team B, facing Team A, lost motivation.
David Silva, who was leading the game on Team B, could clearly feel it.
‘Holy shit.’
I thought my skills had improved a lot while working with Woo Ho-young over the past six months, but looking back now, it seems like that wasn’t the case.
‘It was automatically adjusted according to Woo Ho-young’s skills.’
When you play with Woo Ho-young, you are forced to work together.
That was the value of Woo Ho-young’s existence.
David Silva seemed to know because he played opposite Hoyoung.
And at that moment, the net shook again.
It was a collaboration between Iniesta and Woo Ho-young and Ronaldinho.
Tiki Taka.
A picture that could only be seen in Barcelona two years ago was now slowly being realized here.
‘The director’s colors are coming out more and more.’
Guardiola’s style was gradually being applied to Man City.
This was felt most clearly by Andres Iniesta, who was at the core of the Tiki Taka strategy.
‘It’s really amazing.’
It was something I could never have imagined.
I never dreamed that I would see all the tactics here that I thought would just disappear and be buried.
Moreover, while working together with Woo Ho-young, something ridiculous happened.
‘It’s like…’
I feel like I’m in another world.
That wasn’t an exaggeration at all.
And even now, such a situation is taking place.
“!”
Woo Ho-young finds a gap in the front line and aggressively breaks through.
As soon as Iniesta caught the ball, he moved in unison and got into the most suitable position to receive the kill pass.
a look?
No, Woo Ho-young made perfect movements just by looking at the footsteps of his colleagues.
‘Even if I don’t want to, I have no choice but to make a kill pass.’
At this point, it seemed like Woo Ho-young should be called a kill pass maker.
Every play made from that is done thoroughly, as if measured with a ruler.
It feels like playing soccer with something other than a human.
I felt a sense of disconnect.
That’s right, being a colleague with him was like that.
Even.
‘What have I done so far?’
Iniesta even had that thought.
The soccer game he had worked so hard to play until now was at a level where he couldn’t even show his business card in front of him.
‘That’s fascinating.’
If you try to play the way you want, Woo Ho-young has already set up the game and is preparing for the best play.
For Iniesta, all he had to do was stick to his duties and focus on building up the rear.
It was a very amazing experience for Guardiola, who was watching it.
‘It is becoming complete.’
There was little to criticize individual players.
It goes without saying that Iniesta was a player who had a mental connection with himself, and the more I saw Woo Ho-young, the more amazing I felt.
‘He’s much better than me.’
If you ask them to do one thing, they use it to accomplish more.
Always choose the best play in an ever-changing field.
‘There’s nothing I can do about it.’
Guardiola could clearly feel why coaching was not an essential element for Woo Ho-young.
but.
“zero! When I give the signal, you do the reverse move and go down slightly. From then on, Iniesta will always throw a through ball to you from the back.”
Even though there was no work, I still did the best I could as a director.
No matter how wide a person’s field of vision is, there are bound to be corners of the field that cannot be seen when running on the field.
We need to make it so that players can feel it and understand it themselves.
That is the role of the coach and the players grow through it.
“What you’re saying is to skip the back build-up process and create chances right away. “After luring the opponent’s line.”
“Yes, that is your duty as False 9. Once you get used to it, you will be able to score huge goals. Unless the opponent lines up two lines of defenders, there will be a structure that they cannot block even if they know it. That space you see over there is an important point, so remember it with your body. From now on, that place will be called ‘Woo Ho-young’s Zone.’”
“All right.”
Woo Ho-young, who immediately understood what he was saying, showed a wider range of movements.
Then, not long after, a goal came out.
The goal was scored directly from Iniesta to Woo Ho-young without any intermediate steps.
“yes.”
Moreover, it did not end there.
Hoyoung followed Guardiola’s instructions and avoided simplification of patterns by constantly creating creative movements.
Hoyoung continued to evolve from a simple conductor leading the game to a composer who created music with a flow.
He was awe-inspiring to everyone watching him train.
The same was true for Woo Ho-young himself.
There has never been a more emotional moment in my life than now.
I’ve always wanted to play with Iniesta at least once.
He finally achieved it, and thanks to this, he was able to freely explore his talents without restrictions.
There were three main talents that could be gained from him in the future.
-Flawless midfielder (T)
-Advanced ball keeping (SSS-)
-Unrivaled soccer intelligence (SS+3)
The conditions were as difficult as expected.
First of all, in order to covet a flawless midfielder (T), one had to satisfy the requirement of ‘receiving 3 assists and achieving a hat trick in Iniesta’s official debut’.
‘If it’s a debut match, the upcoming Community Shield would be the most likely.’
In other words, it was a very difficult condition to achieve.
The opponent is Manchester United.
It’s difficult to score an ordinary hat trick against them, but since you only have to get assists from Iniesta, it’s not usually difficult.
Aside from that, there were a lot of talents from my colleagues that I needed to explore in the future.
A T-level talent who can gain some of the experience and flair of a player.
In addition, there were talents of my colleagues that I had not yet discovered.
Right now, Ronaldinho’s ‘ball detection ability (W+2)’ remained.
The condition is to lift four championship trophies within one year.
This was a condition that could be achieved by winning the Community Shield.
in other words.
‘We can get a lot of great things at once in the Manchester United game.’
A one-off match against Manchester United.
2011 FA Community Shield.
There was a lot at stake, so it was necessary to prepare thoroughly.
[Who will be the winner of the upcoming Community Shield? Iniesta’s performance is the key]
[Pep Guardiola is finally being tested to see if his football theory will work in the EPL… There is a strong possibility that he will use the existing 4-2-3-1 formation]
[Director Alexson Ferguson: “In Spain “I have nothing to say to the young coach who came out of retirement.”]
[Pep Guardiola remained silent]
Ferguson got into a fight, but Guardiola deliberately avoided it.
From the beginning, I thought I couldn’t defeat Ferguson.
The FA Cup Community Shield was about to begin like that.
A fight was about to break out before the game even started.
And on August 4th.
Manchester City coach Guardiola only finished planning his strategy today, three days before the game.
What he brought out was 4-2-3-1, which has the best balance and allows for safety in the team.
‘The midfield is too weak to go with 4-3-3. They won’t be able to withstand the pressure in midfield.’
That was exactly the conclusion that was reached.
But Guardiola happened to get a hint.
It was in a conversation with Woo Ho-young.
“In the end, you’re going with 4-2-3-1?”
Usually, if there was a problem I wanted to discuss together, I would call Hoyoung separately, and today was the same.
Guardiola responded with an embarrassed expression.
“I want to move you up and go with a 4-3-3 like we trained, but the midfield is unstable for that. And Yaya Toure and Gareth Barry cannot dominate the midfield alone. “The power may decrease, but there is still nothing we can do about it.”
That was correct.
If Hoyoung plays as an attacking midfielder, it becomes easier to dominate the midfield, but his power decreases. Conversely, if he plays as a striker, his defensive power weakens.
A situation where you can’t do this or that.
The biggest problem was that there was no player in midfield who could withstand the pressure.
That was Guardiola’s concern.
however.
“There is a good player named David Silva, right?”
“!”
A breakthrough was found in an unexpected place.
No, at first I didn’t know it was a breakthrough.
The use of David Silva, a second-line resource, in the midfield was something that had never been thought about yet.
‘The problem is solved because the ability to relieve pressure is excellent, and with Iniesta, who is also a member of the Spanish national team, the burden of coordination will be less. It seems like the balance is right…’
Of course, I couldn’t say for sure that it was a definite breakthrough just yet.
But Hoyoung was completely convinced.
Because I knew the future.
The fact that Guardiola later converted David Silva into a central midfielder and discovered his talent as a maestre.
In other words, Hoyoung brought forward the thoughts of future Guardiola.
The key question will be whether the current David Silva can fulfill that role, but Hoyoung was confident.
Considering Mancini’s ‘excellent eye for players (A+3)’, we could be sure.
Guardiola also agreed to this.
Anyway, since it was a thought that came from my future self’s head, I could sympathize with it.
‘I lost so much sense while resting. ‘I can’t believe I didn’t think of this until now.’
I was glad I found out now.
I felt like I could achieve the level of perfection I expected to some extent.
Guardiola spoke hastily.
“Let’s go to the training ground quickly.”
Game day quickly approaches.
The venue for the match was Wembley Stadium in London.
[Your stadium was filled with intense heat. The starting lineups of both teams will be announced soon.]
The starting lineups of both teams were soon announced while the 90,000 spectators filling the stadium roared.
Manchester United has assembled its squad as everyone expected.
And Manchester City looked like it too.
[As expected, Woo Ho-young appears as the captain again today.]
[This is a well-proven card that guarantees victory. As Manchester United’s attack power is strong, Woo Ho-young will likely be appointed as an attacking midfielder and take charge of coordinating offense and defense.]
It seemed that way until then.
However, as soon as all of Man City’s player selections were announced, questions arose everywhere.
Man City’s starting line-up was as follows.
[Manchester City Starting Lineup]
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart
Defender: Kolarov Jerome Boateng Vincent Kompany Pablo Zabaleta
Midfielder: Andres Iniesta Yaya Toure David Silva
Attacker: Ronaldinho Woo Ho-young Adebayor
[If this goes on… 4-2-3-1 It might not be the 4-3-3 formation! We’ll have to wait and see, but Woo Ho-young may move to the front line and David Silva may move to left wing forward.]
[It’s unfamiliar. Then who will take charge of the midfield? Is it Ronaldinho or Iniesta? David Silva will not move down to central midfield.]
[Hmm… I don’t know. Thinking about it this way, it seems likely that it will be a 4-2-3-1 formation. Whatever it is, it is clear that it caused Ferguson some trouble. He played psychological warfare.]
The beginning of Hoyoung City.
It was the moment when a tactic that might go down as the best of all time was revealed to the world.
