[136] Let Chen Yuan Play Forward? Go Crazy! (Please Subscribe!)
Pre-match training.
The coaching staff is discussing how to rotate players.
The Copa del Rey semi-final has just ended.
Atletico Madrid also has a dense schedule in the league.
Plus the upcoming quarter-finals of the Champions League.
In just two weeks.
The team has played six games in a row.
And it also includes strong opponents such as Real Madrid and Barcelona.
So that the whole team is exhausted from top to bottom.
Especially the grid with full attendance.
Since the start of the new season.
Grid is almost the player who played the most minutes in the team except for the goalkeeper.
Even a donkey can't withstand such use.
Especially in Simeone's tactical system.
Whether you are a striker or an offensive midfielder, you must make a lot of defensive runs in the game.
Use active running to make up for the gap in the player's personal strength.
This is an important reason why Atletico Madrid can reach the Champions League final among many European giants.
Therefore, Grid was very tired after playing "530" throughout the season.
Chen Yuan missed the game in January.
This made the already exhausted forward have to return to the defense to undertake a lot of defensive tasks.
So much so that now the entire midfield.
Especially the players in the midfield are severely lacking in physical fitness.
Under such a dense schedule.
Even Iron Man couldn't stand it.
In contrast, Chen Yuan.
Only played three Asian Cup games and one Copa del Rey semi-final in January.
And except for the Asian Cup final.
Basically, they come off the bench.
Therefore, although Chen Yuan was rushing back and forth, in fact, he was in a hurry.
On the contrary, Chen Yuan's physical fitness is now the most abundant in the team.
Assistant coaches and physical trainers are actively discussing.
"Villarreal at the weekend and Leverkusen in the Champions League next Tuesday!"
"If you don't rotate the midfielders, there will definitely be a lot of injuries!"
"Now Real Madrid and Barcelona are winning streak in the league. I don't think there can be any mistakes in the league."
"Whether it is in terms of bonuses or influence, the Champions League results are more important!"
Everyone discussed in full swing.
They are all discussing how to choose.
Whether to focus on the league or the Champions League.
At this point in time.
Even if the league loses a point, it may directly affect the final league ranking and championship ownership.
And the knockout system of the Champions League.
Not even a game can be lost.
It's time to test the thickness of the team's bench.
Simeone pondered for a long time and finally made a decision.
"Semi-main lineup for the weekend league!"
"The Champions League prize money is very attractive!!"
"And last season we came close to winning the Champions League, this time there must be no mistakes.
Must go all out!"
"The first round of the Champions League against Leverkusen, all the main players will play!"
"Griezmann and Torres are all rested in the league this weekend."
"Chen Yuan is now the most physically fit player in the team."
"The game featured Chen Yuan as the striker in one of the double centers.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard the words.
Although Chen Yuan played as a full-back in Frankfurt before.
Later, he also played two games as a winger in Atletico Madrid.
But Chen Yuan has never tried the striker position.
It is important to know that defensive players and forwards play completely differently.
The winger can still try.
But strikers are not so easy to play.
It is very likely that the whole audience will be invisible directly.
Simeone said in a concentrated voice: "Now there are no extra players to use!
"To secure promotion in the Champions League."
"It is necessary to rotate the forwards, midfielders and frontcourt players!"
"The Champions League is more than everything!"
Everyone knows how unfortunate Atletico Madrid was last season.
La Liga champions.
Almost won the Champions League final.
So Simeone's paranoia about the Champions League this season has even reached a crazy level.
In order to enable the team to respond to the Champions League in the best condition.
Even the decision to put Chen Yuan up front could be made.
Everyone thought this was Simeone's helpless move to rest the striker.
However.
Simeone also has his own little thoughts.
"Since Chen Yuan's scoring efficiency is so terrible, why not try to transform him into a striker?"
"Although Chen Yuan has great strength, he is also very fast!"
"If the transformation is really successful, then the team's style of play will become more diversified and the opponents will be hard to defend against!"
But this crazy idea.
Did Simeone say it easily?
this game.
It is also out of a test idea that Chen Yuan is temporarily used as one of the double centers.
If well behaved.
Simeone can be firm in his own mind.
If the performance is poor.
That still made Chen Yuan obediently go back and kick the lower back.
during training.
Chen Yuan heard that the coaching staff of the next league game plans to arrange him as a striker.
I was dumbfounded on the spot.
"Play center forward?"
"I've never done anything like this before!"
Simeone comforted him.
"There is really no one who can go, so we can't let the young people from the team come?"
"And your offensive stats are so good, why can't you give the position a try?"
Simeone tried his best to persuade him for a long time
And I promised that even if Chen Yuan didn't play well, I wouldn't blame him or anything like that.
Chen Yuan said with some emotion: "Good guy!"
"Are you planning to let me develop in the direction of panacea?"
But at the end of the day.
Have never eaten pork or seen pigs running.
I have a lot of training experience on weekdays.
You can always see how the forwards in the team train.
And when the game.
Chen Yuan also has countless experience facing forwards.
Under the influence of ears and eyes.
Chen Yuan also knows some forwards' fixed routines and tactics.
"never mind!"
"Know thyself, ever-victorious!"
"Maybe after I become a striker, I will have a deeper understanding of defense!"
Chen Yuan finally nodded and agreed with the arrangement of the coaching staff.
The training time in the team is very short.
Chen Yuan also didn't have much time to get used to his new position.
The weekend league ensued.
Away game against La Liga powerhouse Yellow Submarine ----- Villarreal.
From this century.
The yellow submarine was opened and hung all the way, all kinds of miracles were created.
He has beaten Barcelona and Real Madrid many times in the league, directly interrupting the opponent's winning streak.
In the Champions League, although they cannot break into the group stage year after year.
But it also has a dark horse-like performance every so often.
It can be said that the current yellow submarine is not to be taken lightly.
weekend.
Seven thirty in the evening local time.
Ceramic court.
Formerly known as Love Song Stadium.
The total capacity does not exceed 30,000 people.
Because the opponent is Atletico Madrid.
So the 0.3 small stadium is full of fans who come to watch the game.
The game begins.
The players came out one after another.
The narrator suddenly said strangely.
"what?"
"In Simeone's starting lineup, there is only Mandzukic as a striker!"
"Is Simeone going to change the 442 tactical system he has always insisted on?"
"There are actually five players in midfield."
"Is this style of play too conservative?"
After half an hour.
The formations of the two teams slowly unfolded.
"what?"
"It doesn't seem right!"
"It's still a 442 formation, and Chen Yuan actually appeared in the forward position?"
"Is Chen Yuan not only a b2b midfielder, but also an all-around striker?"
"This, is this a joke?"
"Put a player from a centre-back at a striker?"
"What do you think?"
"Let Chen Yuan play as a striker? Crazy!"
