Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 575

After half an hour of self-warm-up, Guardiola gathered the players together again and took out two paper boxes.

The two paper boxes were written with "midfield" and "defender" respectively.

"There is no absolute main force in my team!"

"Today's training match will determine the starting lineup against Aston Villa tomorrow."

"As for the grouping, I will adopt a random draw method."

Before the players understood Guardiola's words, he had already drawn a note from the "midfield" paper box.

"Team A midfield, Su."

The Manchester City players swallowed their saliva.

The eldest brother was drawn.

No one didn't want to play a training match with Su Fei, because according to Guardiola.

If you perform well in this training match, you can start tomorrow.

Whether as Su Fei's frontcourt partner or midfield teammate, you can get more assists and shooting opportunities.

And as a defender.

Being in the opposite side of Su Fei means that you have to bear the huge pressure of defending the demon Su...

This fair training match has lost its balance and become unfair after Su Fei was drawn first.

But no one dared to question Guardiola.

Yesterday.

Cassano, who bowed his head and apologized in the end, is the best example. This young Spaniard will not spoil you at all.

As the draw continued.

Some people are happy and some are sad.

Soon, the players of Team A and Team B were determined.

Among the original Manchester City starting lineup, only Cannavaro, Sun Jihai, Modric, and Bale were assigned to Team A, and the rest were in Team B.

Let's put Su Fei aside.

The result of this draw is that the strength of the two teams is relatively balanced.

And then.

Guardiola's words made the Manchester City players confused again.

"Today, both sides will adopt the 3421 formation. The specific positions will be decided by your internal discussion."

"5 minutes."

"I will only give you 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, I need you to stand in the corresponding position on the court and start the game."

The players were a little messy.

3421... three defenders?

Playing with three defenders? !

Is this the formation that the new head coach came up with for tomorrow's game against Villa?

This... is a bit outrageous.

You know, this season, no team in the entire Premier League plays with three defenders.

With such a fast offensive and defensive transition rhythm in the Premier League, it is impossible for three defenders to defend against the opponent.

Team B is completely chaotic, and the players are chattering and discussing quickly.

Team A.

Su Fei touched his nose and stood up.

Others may not understand Guardiola, but he... can copy the homework about Guardiola in his previous life.

"Come on, let's arrange three central defenders, two defensive midfielders, two wingers to connect the attack, and then two wingers, I will play center forward."

....................................................

Guardiola crossed his hands on his chest and quietly waited for the players of both teams to take their positions on the field.

This is actually one of Guardiola's tests for this group of Manchester City players.

I want to see.

Who can lean towards the tactical formation he wants without his own arrangement.

Acquired training is certainly important.

Innate tacit understanding is even more rare.

However.

Less than 2 minutes later.

Team A gave him a huge surprise, because the players of Team A made the decision in such a short time.

The key is.

The division of positions is exactly the same as what he thought.

Who is it?

Who is it that accurately determines everyone's position like a worm in his stomach.

Guardiola was so curious that his eyes slid across the faces of every player in Team A, and finally landed on Modric.

It should be Luca.

He played in many midfield positions for Manchester City, and his understanding of the game has always been among the best in Manchester City.

For the first time.

Guardiola felt a sense of telepathy.

The more he looked at Modric, the more he liked him.

He had no idea that it was actually Su Fei's decision.

Under Su Fei's arrangement, Team A settled the position division in 2 minutes, while Team B waited until the 5-minute time was up.

Only then did they reluctantly arrange a formation of three defenders, four defensive midfielders, two front midfielders, and a single striker.

Guardiola frowned.

He did not deliberately correct Team B's formation to what he imagined, but blew the whistle directly and started the training match..

....................................................

A new head coach.

The first thing he needs to do is to know which players are suitable for his football philosophy.

Be able to play a role in the tactical system he will build in the future.

And today's training match is a "test" arranged by Guardiola.

About Manchester City's game.

Guardiola has actually been watching it all the time, and he is very familiar with the abilities and performances of every player in the team.

This is also the reason why he was able to quickly give Manchester City a thick stack of analytical materials before the interview.

But those.

After all, they are just the performance of Manchester City players on the field under Stewart's tactical system.

3421 is the formation that Guardiola arranged after he first arrived in the Premier League based on his understanding of the Premier League game style.

Although it looks like three defenders.

But when returning to defense, one of the two midfielders deliberately retreated directly to serve as a defender. At the same time, the two side midfielders can also retreat at any time to cooperate with the two central defenders on the side to defend the side.

As for the offensive end, the function of the two wingers is more like a forward, not only participating in the offense, but also in the defense.

All-out attack and defense.

This is exactly the tactical system Guardiola wants to build.

This is also the reason why he can lead the football wave in the future. He now has the basic concept of modern football in his head!

And in the original history.

In 2008, Guardiola led Barcelona to win six championships with the all-out attack and defense tactical system.

The gears of history have started to turn in advance.

This Manchester City.

Will become a practitioner of modern football by accident.

As the players on the court gradually find their form.

The game is getting more and more intense.

Guardiola also officially started his sideline command.

Little by little.

Let Manchester City's players play according to his ideas and transformation plans.

"Fabio, you go to the defensive midfielder position!"

"Gianluca!"

"Move forward a little, advance boldly when attacking, assist in the transition, and retreat quickly when the ball is lost!"

"Run!"

"Everyone, run!"

"After losing the ball, I need everyone to participate in defense! Including the forwards!"

"Remember!"

"Each of you has more than just offense or defense. I need to see your versatility!"

"Bale!"

"You should go up and use your right foot to intercept him!"

"Beautiful!"

"Sun!"

"I really like your initiative and your forward run! That's what you should do! You can do much more than just stay in the backcourt as a defender!"

"Mr. Cassano!"

"You should..."

When Guardiola began to direct on the sidelines.

The players felt the other side of his iron-fisted face.

Passionate.

Praise generously.

And he has a very detailed control of the situation on the field and will give very precise guidance to everyone.

Off the field, Guardiola kept shouting, and on the field, Manchester City players became more and more passionate.

The warm sun in the early morning rose slowly as time passed.
