Chapter 306 Chelsea's New Tactics (1)
The next day, almost all media and newspapers reported on the two London derby matches.
The media flocked to the North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, because this game is indeed a classic, and the score of 5:4 also enriched the imagination of all fans. In comparison, Chelsea's 4:1 away victory over Fulham was completely a foil. However, this game certainly also had a focus, that is, Wang Li's goal in more than 7 seconds, which broke the record for the fastest goal in the Premier League.
The Times has always been the leader of London newspapers. It described the West London derby as a "friendly match". Obviously, "friendly" is not a good adjective in a football match, and the photo of Jose Mourinho and Chris Coleman smiling and shaking hands was used as the main picture to introduce the game.
As for Wang Li's goal in more than 7 seconds, they believed it was the only bright spot in the game. "After 13 rounds of the Premier League, Allen topped the scorer list with an absolute advantage. His performance this season is perfect. Even in this boring derby, Allen still scored three goals and helped Chelsea win 4::1."
"In this game, Allen broke another record - the fastest goal in the Premier League. His goal at 7.43 seconds amazed all the fans at the scene. In 2002, Mr. Robson once said that in the Premier League, scoring a goal in 10 seconds was the limit and no one could surpass him. But now, when the newly retired head coach saw Allen scoring this goal, I wonder what his expression would be."
The Sun did not say much about this goal, but they emphasized the great role of Wang Li in Mourinho's formation, analyzed Mourinho's original style of play in Porto from a technical perspective, and explained the great changes that Wang Li brought to this formation. "From this game, we can see that the Portuguese are trying to shape Allen into an offensive commander like an offensive core. Although Allen has scored a lot of goals, tactically speaking, he is just a striker most of the time. The Portuguese certainly saw this, and he obviously felt that with Allen's skills, it was a pity to just act as a striker. We are looking forward to his success."
The Sun's viewpoint was recognized by many media. The Daily Telegraph also believed that using Wang Li only as a striker was definitely a waste of football talent. They emphasized what changes Wang Li's outstanding personal skills would bring to the England team and called on Mr. Eriksson to consider recruiting the 'greatest genius of the early 21st century' into the England team as soon as possible.
They think that with Wang Li's strength, it is natural for him to join the England team and replace Rooney or Owen as the main striker. Among the latter two, although Rooney has performed well in Manchester United, his efficiency of scoring 3 goals in the last 5 games is just a flickering fire compared to Wang Li, and Owen has been sitting on the bench. Many media now believe that Owen's going to Spain is definitely a huge mistake and he can never get a starting position.
Among the revelations about the national team, Sky Sports was the most powerful, because they reported a full live interview with Wang Li. In the video, Wang Li calmly said that he had thought about returning to the England team, but the prerequisite was that head coach Eriksson would guarantee his starting position rather than a substitute player.
Obviously, Wang Li's statement was a bit arrogant.
But more media believe that this talented player does have the reason and strength to be arrogant. You know, in just 13 rounds of the Premier League, Wang Li has scored 28 goals for Chelsea so far. With this number of goals alone, he even has a chance to win the season's top scorer. What's more, there are still 26 rounds of games left. Now, all bookmakers in the world have cancelled their bets on the Premier League's top scorer, and that belongs to Wang Li, without a doubt.
With this kind of performance, it should be a matter of course for him to get a starting position in the England team.
Unfortunately, Eriksson obviously had a different view from the media. In the afternoon, during the introduction to the media interview, he said angrily: "I am the head coach of the national team, you are not. Even if he performs well in the club, if he does not meet my tactical standards, I will not let him enter the national team."
In fact, Mr. Eriksson had considered letting Wang Li join the national team, but now the pressure on him is too great.
However, Eriksson is a man who cares a lot about his reputation. He has the same idea as the young reporter from Sky Sports. After watching the full video of Wang Li being interviewed by the reporter, the Swede felt an indescribable feeling of depression. If Wang Li really joins the national team, then Eriksson's prestige will no longer exist.
What Mr. Eriksson hopes most now is that the black-haired boy can lower his tone, so that he can naturally recruit him into the national team roster. He even wants to find officials from the English Football Association to mediate.
However, at least he does not need to do so recently. In the World Cup qualifiers, except for the Polish team, other teams could not pose any threat to the England team. Even if this England team does not have Wang Li, there are still Wayne Rooney, David Beckham, Joe Cole, Frank Lampard and a series of outstanding players. Eriksson is still confident that he can bring it into the World Cup. It's just a matter of good or bad results in the process.
………
Of course, Mr. Eriksson’s thoughts and actions had no influence on Wang Li at all. He was not serious about joining the England team now. At least today, he was still showing off his new sports car in the club.
Just as Wang Li thought, when he drove the Bugatti convertible to Chelsea Club the next day, he immediately became the focus of the team. Compared with this car, Bridge's off-road vehicle was simply a piece of garbage, which made him look at Wang Li with the resentment of an abandoned young wife.
Although there were various expressions of envy, jealousy, disregard, etc. in the team, Wang Li still enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.
Perhaps it is because his performance at Chelsea this season is really outstanding, but that is all related to football. In a man's competition like cars, it is the first time that he has achieved an absolute advantage.
"Alan, how about borrowing it for me for two days?"
In the parking lot of Chelsea Club, Lampard, Joe Cole, Makelele and others were surrounding Wang Li's new car and discussing it. Among them, Lampard was obviously the most direct. In expressing his love for the car, he spoke directly to Wang Li without hesitation.
"NO, I just got it for less than a day." Wang Li said directly without paying any attention to Lampard's eyes.
After hearing this, Lampard showed a sad expression on his face, and said slowly: "Alan, you are really stingy, it's just for two days."
"Frank, you are asking too much." Bridget, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but say. Then, he looked at the car carefully again, turned around and said to Wang Li with a smile, "Alan, I'll only play for one day, how about that?"
“No.”
"Oh my God, Alan, you know Nellie is in London. It would be absolutely romantic if I could drive this car to pick her up for a ride. This is a very important event in my life," Bridget said with emotion.
Unfortunately, his sentiments were only met with contempt from his teammates.
Wang Li smiled brightly and asked, "Wayne, how much do you think your lifelong event is worth?"
"Priceless" Bridget said without hesitation: "Nelly is my life, I feel I will give everything for her"
Everyone around him made a vomiting gesture at the same time, but Wang Li just smiled and said, "Okay, then you pay me one month's salary and I'll lend you this car for a day."
Bridge's weekly salary is 53,000 pounds, which is more than 200,000 pounds a month. Wang Li is asking for a lot. However, the most important thing is that he is not new to this sports car yet, so how can he lend it to others? After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the first team training ground.
Bridget behind him was stunned. He caught up with Wang Li, pulled his sleeve and said, "Alan, how could you do this?"
"But you said that your love is priceless. Do you care about this little money?" Wang Li turned around and retorted.
"It is priceless, but..." Bridget felt as if he had fallen into a trap. He was powerless to refute and could only look at Wang Li's back with resentful eyes.
The people around burst into laughter and followed him towards the first-team training ground.
………
After arriving at the training ground, under the command of assistant coach Mr. Clark, the first-team players did daily physical and condition training.
These trainings are nothing more than jogging for a distance to warm up, and then doing some shuttle runs, running with the ball, dribbling around the pole, passing and receiving the ball, etc., to prepare for the subsequent tactical training.
Perhaps, for ordinary people, these trainings already require a lot of physical energy, but for these professional football players, this kind of training is just a warm-up. After a short rest after the training, their condition will return to the best state. Only then can they enter real tactical training.
Today's tactical training class may have new content, because when the players were doing their daily training, head coach Mourinho also came to the training ground. While watching the players' training, he was also chatting with assistant coach Clark and drawing on the tactical board. It can be seen that he should be practicing new cooperation.
Sure enough, after the players finished their physical training, while they were resting on the field, Mourinho and his teammate came over and began to explain the next training method.
"Zone offense."
This is the name Mourinho gave to this new tactic.
As the name suggests, in football matches, there is a difference between zone defense and man-to-man defense, but this is the first time I have heard of zone offense. Under everyone's puzzled eyes, Mr. Mourinho began to explain the offensive method of this new tactic.
