Chapter 426
After lunch at the hotel.
Li Shiguang left Rivaldo at the hotel and asked Simeone to take the players to the Olympic Park Stadium for adaptive training.
Before leaving, Simeone looked at Li Shiguang and the others with a face full of resentment.
I don't know, I thought Li Shiguang and Rivaldo had done something to let him down.
After sending Simeone away, Li Shiguang and Rivaldo returned to the room and took the time to discuss the tactical ideas for tomorrow's game.
The two sat on the sofa in Li Shiguang's room, staring at the laptop on the coffee table in front of them. The screen on the computer was the game where Lyon defeated Sochaux 4:1.
Rivaldo witnessed the whole interview of Li Shiguang. Compared with Simeone who blindly worshipped Li Shiguang, the Brazilian had his own ideas: "Boss, is what you said this morning true? Do you really plan to kill the game completely in the first round?"
"Of course." Li Shiguang nodded naturally.
Rivaldo was a little surprised: "I thought you said that just because you were interviewed by the French media. But Lyon is not weak. If we want to win this series in the first round, we must win by at least three goals tomorrow!"
Li Shiguang smiled: "Of course I know Lyon is not weak. After all, it is the six-time champion of Ligue 1. Although this is also related to the low intensity of Ligue 1, their strength is indeed unquestionable."
"Then you..."
"Ferreira, I just admit that Lyon is strong, but I didn't say that their strength is better than ours. Strong." Li Shiguang pointed at the computer screen, "And... did you find out? Limited by the strength of the players, Lyon's offensive route is too single. In Ligue 1, Houllier may be able to use this single tactical idea to defeat all opponents in the world, but in the Champions League, this will not work!"
"Single offensive route?" Although he has also studied Lyon's tactics for a while, Rivaldo obviously does not understand it as deeply as Li Shiguang. He frowned and looked at the computer screen, "But I think their offense is not very limited, both on the wing and in the middle."
"We can't just look at where they will launch the attack . "After stopping the video on the laptop, Li Shiguang pointed to the No. 8 player on the screen and said, "Where Lyon's attack will start from depends mainly on where your compatriot runs to!"
"Juninho?"
"Yes!" Li Shiguang nodded solemnly, "Ferreira, I believe you also know your compatriot who has an unpredictable free kick. In the Lyon team, he is the absolute core. When he runs to the position of wing forward, Lyon's attack will start from the wing. When he runs to the position of front midfielder, Lyon's attack will rarely move to the wing again!"
"Houlier The division of labor for his midfielders is quite clear. Turan and Bodmer focus on defense and rarely cross the center line to participate in the attack. Juninho, Sjölström, Ben Alfa and others are responsible for the attack, supplying ammunition to Benzema and Gove on the front line. But no matter how it changes, as long as Juninho is on the field, he is the core of the core of Lyon, and the others are just helping him! "
"And what we have to do is to freeze Juninho! Once he is frozen, I think we have a chance to completely defeat Lyon even on the road!"
Li Shiguang said so.
Rivaldo quickly bent down and began to slide his fingers on the touch screen of the computer.
It took a few minutes.
Rivaldo knew that he had indeed neglected it. His compatriot was really the absolute tactical core of Lyon!
Rivaldo had some understanding of Juninho before.
Although Juninho was not so conspicuous in the star-studded Brazilian team.
But he has solid basic skills, is more pragmatic than other Brazilian players, has comprehensive skills and is good at dispatching and long-distance raids, which still left some impressions on Rivaldo.
However, these advantages were overshadowed by his free kicks that are definitely among the best in the world football.
This made Rivaldo ignore the importance of Juninho in the Lyon lineup.
In the few clips that I just watched quickly.
Whether it is a normal positional attack or a counterattack in defense, the first person Lyon players look for after getting the ball is Juninho! After Juninho received the pass from his teammates, he was able to make the most correct choice in a very short time and organize his teammates to launch an attack.
Rivaldo nodded seriously, with an embarrassed tone: "Well... Boss, I neglected it. I really didn't observe it so carefully."
Li Shiguang smiled and patted Rivaldo on the shoulder: "Take it easy, Ferreira, you just enteredHow long has it been in the coaching staff? Compared to Diego before, you have improved much faster! "
After saying this.
Li Shiguang put away his smile, put his hands on his chest and leaned back: "Okay, I actually have another guess, I need you to help me study it together. "
Rivaldo turned his head to look at Li Shiguang: "What guess?"
"Lyon basically uses the traditional 4-4-2 formation this season." Li Shiguang frowned and said his thoughts, "Although this is my first time to confront Houllier, I have studied his tactical thinking when he coached Liverpool before. In general, Houllier is different from most French coaches who like to attack. When he coached Liverpool, he advocated first stabilizing the back line and then looking for opportunities to counterattack. "
"Ferreira, tell me, in the game against us tomorrow, will he play 3-5-2 or directly use five defenders to play defensive counterattacks with us! ? "
Rivaldo understood what Li Shiguang meant.
Just as the two people talked about before, Lyon is not a weak team. If they are determined to retreat and defend, with the home advantage, Li Shiguang's bold words in front of the reporters this morning may become a bubble.
Thinking for a moment.
Rivaldo still shook his head: "I don't think so. After all, they are playing at home and have the strength to fight with us. There is no need to actively retreat and defend! And the most important thing is, boss, I think those words you said are a bit excessive. More or less, you look down on them. Houllier is not so bloodless, right? "
"That's not necessarily true." Li Shiguang grinned, "I didn't mean to provoke this old man with those words? But I always think that these words can deceive young coaches like you and Diego! If you want to deceive Houllier, an old man who has been in the football world for decades... maybe it won't work! "
