Chapter 107 Tactics and Transformation
Training, training, training, the following week, the Cagliari players felt as if they were in hell.
Of course, the benefits of hell are also obvious. In just one week, all aspects of the players' data have returned to normal.
And after getting through the most difficult week, the next training will feel a lot easier, although in fact it is not much easier.
The players worked hard for the new season, and Li Yi, as the head coach, was not idle. Although Li Yi didn't appear on the sidelines many times, he needed to complete the most important work.
Tactics, Cagliari's tactics for the new season, although Li Yi had decided which tactics to use early on, the details needed careful consideration.
For example, the arrival of Guardiola has given Cagliari more options for offense. The man who redefines the fourth position is not just as simple as sorting out the middle.
Of course, the real core of Li Yi's tactics will not change, that is, both wings fly together. Since the end of last season, Li Yi has been thinking about this season's tactics, and with Ribery, if he doesn't use the wings, he will be too sorry for the French's strength.
So, this summer, Li Yi made a big fuss on the wing. Cassetti and Maicon are full-backs with strong offensive capabilities. The little golden-haired Balzaretti may not be as offensive as Cassetti and Maicon, but the victory lies in balance. Moreover, Balzaretti is Ribery in front of him. Living in Ribery, Balzaretti is undoubtedly a better choice with a more balanced offense and defense.
In this way, the two sides of Cagliari are terrifying, Cassetti, Maicon plus Valbuena and Poborski on the right, Ribery, Fini and Balzaretti and Criscito on the left.
In fact, Serie A is not popular with two wings flying together, so the two wings of Cagliari can definitely be called the most terrifying two wings in Serie A. Even if they win the entire European competition, they will still rank high, and they are still the top ones.
Moreover, Cagliari's two wings are not only able to pass from the bottom, but also have a strong ability to solve battles by themselves. Not to mention Ribery, he has been training under Li Yi's request for more than a year.
As for Poborski, looking at the past data of this European son of the wind, we can know that the Czech with sharp breakthroughs and accurate passing is also quite powerful in his personal goal scoring ability.
Not to mention that Li Yi hasn't equipped the two wings with the number one center forward in Serie A, no Absolutely no one thinks that Tony can become the number one center forward in Serie A.
After all, Italian tanks performed terribly last season, scoring 23 goals in 24 games.
In the words of the Italian media, only injuries can prevent Vieri from scoring.
However, Li Yi, who is familiar with history, knew that starting from this season, Vieri would start to fall from the altar, and it was also from this season that Tony began to rise.
Tony's tactics in Li Yi are not just a bridgehead, but also a terminator. Li Yi will give Tony enough respect and autonomy.
As for Milito, this season, Milito is more of a substitute. The Argentine is a pragmatic and patient player. He also needs some time to adapt to Europe.
The other main position naturally belongs to Zola. Although the Italian Bantam is old, he is in very good condition, which can be seen from his performance at Chelsea last season.
The last is Su Yazo, Su Yazo's strength is actually not bad, and Su Yazo's speed can also enrich Cagliari's tactics.
So in the end, the final test of this top striker configuration is Li Yi, the head coach. In the next season, Li Yi must balance the rotation between these four.
As for the defense, Hierro will definitely occupy one main force, and the other main force is basically confirmed, that is Barzagli.
Of course, considering Hierro's age, rotation is certain, and young players themselves need games to exercise, especially Chiellini.
According to Li Yi's memory, Chiellini's strength was completely abused. Although the situation is different now, Chiellini has such a good teacher as Hierro, but there must be a necessary match.
It is said that the importance of a veteran is very important at this time, especially the defense line like Cagliari. Although Barzagli already has the strength of a first-class central defender, the lack of experience is irreparable.
Although Gamberini is as old as Barzagli, he was not taken seriously in Bologna before. Although Rami performed well in Serie B, he is now in Serie A, and in Serie B, Cagliari's defense basically guards their own half.
The best way to deal with the three lines is in the middle. Guardiola and Conte are the main players, and Carus and Montolivo are the substitutes.
In other words, during this period of time, Li Yi talked to many people. The first one was Cassetti, and then Cassetti was officially assigned the position of right back.
Then there is Chiellini, the future Italian defense core was still playing midfield last season. As for Montolivo behind, his trajectory is almost exactly the same as that of Pirlo. Even Pirlo claimed that Montolivo is his successor.
Montolivo played Baggio's position at the beginning, and he also regarded Baggio as an idol, and then changed to play the midfielder, which is the current position, and was finally fixed on the midfielder.
However, after all, Montolivo is not a prodigy like Pirlo who only emerges once in decades. The change of position did not make him a master like Pirlo, but made him confused and finally lost himself.
Now that Montolivo is already a Cagliari player, Li Yi, as the head coach, will naturally not let him go back to the old way, so starting from this summer, Montolivo's position has been fixed on the midfielder.
And compared to before, Montolivo's treatment was not much better. Not only did Li Yi customize a training plan for him, but he was also personally guided by a master like Guardiola.
There is no doubt that this man who redefines No. 4 can be called a generation of midfield masters. If it weren't for injuries, if it weren't for communication channels, perhaps Guardiola's reputation would definitely not be smaller than Pirlo.
The last is the goalkeeper. Pantanelli, the main goalkeeper last season, may have performed well in Serie B, but now Cagliari has been promoted to Serie A.
Although Li Yi said it was to give Pantanelli a chance to compete fairly with Cech, this fairness never existed from the beginning, because Cech's current strength has reached A-level, while Pantanelli is only C+.
As for the No. [-] goalkeeper, it was completely used to make up the numbers. Unless there were any accidents, otherwise he would not be seen on the court.
It's a new week, guys hurry up and vote
