Reborn on Top of Football

"Wang, I, I still have a little doubt about me. I don't seem to be able to adapt to this position." After a long pause, Mertesacker was discussing, and he continued to praise his own Wang Aidao.

Wang Ai put down the "Kicker" magazine and looked at Mertesacker seriously: "Pell, your feet are very accurate, and your vision is good. In fact, you don't run slowly, anyway, your More stride than I and Ozil. "

Leonie laughed and pointed at Wang Ai and Ozil: "Two dwarfs, haha!"

The two gave a fist to the gloating guy who always claimed to be "Snow White".

"Pell, leave this little lion, let's go on." Wang Ai said: "You see, your strength is strong interception ability, and the interception ability is based on your strong predictive ability. According to the first time we met you When I introduced myself, I said that you stayed at home last year to watch videotapes and analyze the attacking habits of players. This concentrated your ability to predict. And you were tall from a very young age, and inevitably turned slowly. So you slowly develop a special kick that uses prejudgment to enhance the accuracy of the first interception, plus your height can grab the first spot on the back line, so you feel good, it is suitable for playing guard. "

Mertesack nodded again and again, everyone said the same.

"But in my opinion, this way your flaws are also magnified infinitely. Because as long as the other party firmly hits you, you lose your first interception opportunity, the back line will have serious problems at this point, and you need other The defender will fill you up. And if you do n’t fill in time, you will seriously threaten the goal. If you miss the ball, you will become the most intuitive responsible person and the object of concentrated criticism. You should know that although this is unfair, but But it's the easiest to come up because your characteristics are too obvious. "

Leonie patted newspapers and magazines on the table: "Commercial football is inseparable from football reports. We are symbiotic. Although football magazines are not professional, they are authoritative. They rely on players who are only a little higher than ordinary fans. Can successfully drive the opinions of fans. Therefore, if a player is always responsible for conceding goals, it is very dangerous, your media environment will be very bad, and you will have a bunch of opponents among fans. And football is a The game is based on goals and goals, so even if you work hard and successfully solve it countless times, as long as you still have this problem, you will never get the appreciation of the critics. "

"But when I get to the frontcourt, the speed will not be fast, or I will be beaten behind me." Mertesacker looked sad, and could not eat any more.

"Not the same!" Leonie laughed: "Don't forget, it's the same behind the slow turn and being beaten, the threat of the front line and the back line is completely different, behind you there is Boateng third Line, Favor's fourth line. "

"And once you successfully intercept the opponent, we will immediately form an attack opportunity! Whether you pass it to Allison, me, or the other stupid! And your interception position is the opponent's backcourt, yours Interception is no longer to resolve the danger of the opponent, but to create danger for the opponent, especially when the offense and defense change, you think about it! "Wang Ai laughed.

"Yeah!" Ozil patted the table and stood up: "Pell, listen to us! Think about it, if Wang Ai misses the goal, passes the ball incorrectly, and the opponent gets the ball when the ball falls, the opponent While most of our players are in the midfield and are planning to launch a counterattack, a large number of opposing players rush towards our half, and the attacking players have just passed the ball. As a result, you arrive at this time, and break the ball, and In front of me are Allison and me, as well as one of the few defenders who are against each other! "

"Rhythm!" Wang Ai snapped his finger: "Rhythm, the important thing is the rhythm. At the moment when the opponent's offense and defense are switched, at the critical moment when the other party is ready to attack aggressively, you intercept it, and the other party will immediately switch again. The physical and psychological burdens are very large. Think about it. When you try to break the goal, you just start running and tell you later that the goal is dangerous. Come back soon! You think about it! This short time Continuous adjustments! As long as this is one or two times per game, will I and Allison not be good at seizing the opportunity to break the door, even if Ozil wastes the opportunity, the opponent's attack rhythm will be completely disrupted The point of your interception is the players who are attacked by the opponent's backcourt. They are usually not very strong, but they have precise footwork and strong ability to get rid of it. This is exactly restrained by your characteristics. You are equivalent to blocking the opponent's power. Waist, like this! "

After Wang Ai said, he suddenly turned around and put a finger on Ozil's waist. Ozil, who was attentive, snorted, and his waist was particularly sensitive, all itchy.

"Look, you can't exert your strength!" Wang Ai spread his hand, tilted his head, and explained to Mertesacker with a "strange" expression, even if Ozil was riding on his back and pulling his head hard, Pull his ears.

In the afternoon training, Wang Ai found Feifeer and Boateng, and communicated this new tactical idea with them. Boateng doesn't matter. Anyway, whether it is in the front or back, his role is similar, it is tight. Stuck, following the constant harassment of the opposing player, using his hard work and physical strength to pressurize the opponent's formation, or in other words, he is a beast waist. Feather thought it was interesting, so he should try it.

Changing from 4321 to 4231, the players still adapted for a while, especially in the midfield. I am afraid that they will not be able to adapt all of them at one and a half. In the training match, a body with a height of up to 190 cm, exquisite footwork, outstanding interception ability, and strong ability to predict and attack can defend and attack, which greatly strengthened the team's attack strength and hardness. Wang Ai and Ozil used the fulcrum of Mertesacker to play a frontcourt attack that had never been done before. Mertesacker frequently succeeded in counterattacks in the backcourt of the opponent, changing the offensive and defensive situation on the court instantly, repeatedly making the opponent's courageous attack into a stream. In the extremely dangerous backcourt of the opponent, a front midfielder who can often intercept successful fronts has become a special attack point that can create additional opportunities.

And in the next game, this new tactic achieved amazing success!

On March 11, Tubingen youth faced Karlsruhe at home. The 16-year-old Pell Mertesacker completed three assists in the match and the team won 4: 1.

On March 18th, Tubingen youth played against Neckarsum, Mertesacker made three backcourts, sent out two assists, and also scored a goal. The final score was 4: 0.

On March 25th, the Tubingen youth faced Germania at home. In the enthusiasm of fans who continued to cheer "Pell, Pell!", Mertesacker intercepted at four key moments. The opponent's offensive and defensive rhythm is chaotic, and the team system almost collapsed! Mertesacker not only sent out four assists in succession, but also rushed to the forward line with Wang Ai's suggestion and cooperation, grabbing a header to break the goal!

After breaking the door, Mertesacker trembled at Wang Ai in the cheers of the audience, and the big man bent over and hugged Wang Ai.

In the hustle and bustle of the audience, Wang Ai didn't hear what the sentimental big man was crying, and he probably didn't know it. Come to think of it, like the fans on the spot and even the three planners, he was amazed by his freshman and outstanding performance in the new position.

In fact, Mertesacker and Ozil are both types that are rejected by the mainstream of German football. German football, like Chinese history, is extremely brilliant, but it also brings heavy burdens.

A listless front waist? Unlike Mateus, this is not German! A clunky and gentle center defender? Unlike Bremer, this is not German! Since the seniors have achieved such a successful career, you are not like the seniors, you are wrong! Ozil is a little better. Through his outstanding performance in the professional team, he once let others shut up for a while, and Mertesacker, as Wang Ai said before, in the back line, his own shortcomings have been infinitely amplified, and the back The inherent distance from the opponent's goal determined that Mertesacker could not shut everyone up by threatening the opponent's goal. Therefore, when he retired, Mertesacker said melancholy, "Finally, he finally obtained freedom", which unexpectedly attracted criticism from the famous football players in Germany.

No one is born melancholy. On the defender line, he always works hard but must endure fierce criticism. He doesn't feel happy, but he has always been suppressed here. So football is less and less happy for him. The burden is getting heavier.

No one knows that when he saw Schweinsteiger, Ram, and Neuer of the same age as the main players in the strong team's youth team and were vigorously cultivated by the club, even younger Huer When Le, Royce, and Cross all had a bright future, he thought of something. Rejected by the mainstream, he was forced to remain obscured in the lowest league and had no hope of perseverance. What kind of hard time did he spend, how much persistence or struggle to give up?

At the end of March, Pell Mertesacker, who won the three best players of the State Football Association in a row, finally won the best player of the month in the 00-01 season of the Baden-Württemberg State League! This is the first affirmation from the official German football organization! Although this is only the best of the month for a state football association, it represents that Mertesacker is no longer a stupid sign of being teased by everyone! Even the old Mertesacker who heard the good news came to watch the training of the Tubingen youth team from the countryside of Hanover, and thanked this new but dynamic team. As a former youth coach of the Hannover 96 Club, he knows better than others how much risk this change requires and how important it is to his son's football career!

The strange name of Per Mertesacker, a player once dubbed "Elephant", began to bloom in the Tubingen youth team far from his hometown, blooming his own starlight! A kind of starlight never before!
