We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 237: King Za vs. King Bei
In fact, He Tianqi has been thinking about the issue of De Bruyne's substitute.

Petrov can, but he is older and his playing style is mature, which is different from De Bruyne's style and cannot be seamlessly connected.

Bannan looks like an attacking midfielder, but in fact his technical characteristics and style are those of a ball-carrying, central attacker, and he is much weaker and cannot fill the vacancy left by De Bruyne.

After much thought, Milner is still more suitable.

He has talent, and his technical foundation and tactical thinking are also quite good.

The training is not in vain. In addition to being a core substitute, he can also play in multiple positions in the midfield.

Unlike those more niche core substitutes who can only play core positions and cannot perform in other positions, some resources are wasted.

However, it is difficult to convince Milner, the rising star, to be De Bruyne's substitute.

How can you, young and full of energy, be under someone else's control for long?
In addition, more and more people have felt the tactical impact of De Bruyne. Most people in the team are convinced, but a small number of people think that the rise of this Belgian teenager is inexplicable.

There was no screening process, and he was parachuted into the core position, which somewhat means that He Tianqi was chosen.

In particular, De Bruyne also worshipped He Tianqi as his master.

At the same time, outside public opinion also seized on this point to attack He Tianqi. In essence, they hoped that He Tianqi would be forced to train a core midfielder for Great Britain under pressure.

In 2006, he led the Italian team to win the World Cup.

In 2008, a central axis was created for the Spanish team to win the European Cup.

He Tianqi has been coaching in England for several years. Not to mention the 2010 World Cup, at least the 2012 European Cup should be a sure thing, right?

However, this approach of the media has invisibly put considerable pressure on De Bruyne.

De Bruyne's recent fluctuations in form are also due to this reason.

He thought that if he took on more responsibilities on the court and performed more brilliantly, he could end the doubts about him.

In fact, doing so would not only make his performance worse, but even if it succeeded it would not affect the British media's attacks on him.

If you haven't even found the root of the disease, how can you cure it with medicine?
The root of the problem lies with Milner!

Now that Milner has come to him on his own initiative, it really is not He Tianqi who is plotting against him.

But now that he’s here, He Tianqi won’t “let him go”.

In fact, every generation of young people has one advantage, that is... willing to accept defeat.

"You may not believe it, but based on past experience, my coaching team believes that you are not capable of taking on the responsibility of being the core of the midfield." He Tianqi said.

Milner's face darkened instantly: "Did Inzaghi say that? This despicable bastard!"

He Tianqi: "It doesn't matter who said it. What matters is that I am willing to give you a chance to prove yourself."

After that, He Tianqi pointed to the schedule and said, "In the next seven days, the team will play three games. I plan to put you out of the roster."

"The team is completely dominated by Kevin De Bruyne."

Milner was about to object, but why did he fire himself in the middle of the conversation?
However, He Tianqi changed the subject: "In the next 20 days, the team also has three games. I will exclude De Bruyne from the roster and let you lead the team."

"Through the wins and losses of these six games and your overall performance in the games, we will determine who will be the core of the midfield."

"how do you feel?"

"Of course, you can rest assured that I will let the team fully cooperate with you. If there are teammates you don't like, I can also remove them from the starting lineup."

"In short, I need your best performance."

Milner was completely stunned.

is this real?
It was agreed that He Tianqi would be the sole planter?

Isn't this too much respect for a young player like me?
How can I be so virtuous?
"Isn't it a bit unfair?" Milner felt a little embarrassed.

Three races in seven days and three races in twenty days… there is a world of difference.

Moreover, De Bruyne didn't know about this matter, but he was secretly working on it, which was disadvantageous to De Bruyne to a certain extent.

In addition, in the three games led by De Bruyne, the opponents will be stronger.

"It's okay, nothing to worry about." He Tianqi smiled. James, James, I'm afraid you haven't realized the seriousness of the problem yet.

Your opponent is the fastest and most accurate player in the past hundred years!

Curry:? ? ?
"But since it's a gamble, there must be stakes." He Tianqi looked at Milner.

Milner said: "If I lose, I am willing to help De Bruyne and become a brick in the team, wherever I am needed!"

He Tianqi nodded with satisfaction, then took out a contract.

"Um... this..." Milner looked at the ancient contract, a little confused.

He Tianqi explained: "This thing has no legal effect, but it is a kind of ritual that can restrain you and me at the spiritual level and make our bet more solemn."

Milner was inspired and carefully drew a circle on it.

The moment he finished the painting, he was sublimated!

From now on, he became "James reserve core Milner"!
"Don't do nothing during these ten days. Look at the team's personnel configuration, combine your own characteristics with the team's skills and tactics, select your favorite teammates, and arrange the formation and playing style you want most."

"I will ask Inzaghi and others to refine your ideas later."

"In ten days, it will be your turn to perform!"

He Tianqi patted Milner's shoulders heavily twice.

Milner is full of confidence.

He had never felt such support, whether he was at Leeds United, Newcastle United or Aston Villa in the past.

He Tianqi gave him an unprecedented opportunity.

Is this the legendary Bole?

How can I repay such a great favor?
He saw the extraordinary talent in Milner, but in order to prevent me from becoming proud, he deliberately set up some small obstacles for me.

De Bruyne?

Kevin, let me first say sorry to you, you are just an appetizer in my protagonist career!

……

September 19th, the eighth round of the Championship.

Aston Villa will challenge Middlesbrough away.

This is a powerful dialogue.

Villa is second in the league and Middlesbrough is seventh.

However, what shocked the English media was that Milner was not even included in the roster for this game, let alone the starting lineup.

And He Tianqi has no special explanation for this.

The English media started to protect He Tianqi and blasted him.

Sky Sports: "The more we say Milner is excellent, the more He Tianqi wants to leave Milner idle. He is killing the most talented midfielder in England in the past 20 years!"

Inzaghi: "Didn't they say they were in the top 20 in terms of talent? How did it suddenly become the best?"

BBC: "He Tianqi is a traitor sent by Italy and Spain. His main purpose is to destroy England's new generation of talented players and prevent England from winning the world championship in the next ten years!"

He Tianqi: "The British media is worrying too much. You won't get it unless it's abolished. And it's not just ten years... it starts at fifteen years, there's no upper limit!"

The Times: "Give Milner a fair go, he'll blow the shit out of De Bruyne!"

"Echo": "Milner should have joined Liverpool instead of Aston Villa. We feel sorry for what happened to him! De Bruyne is excellent, but Milner should never be unable to even make the big list!"

Mundo Deportivo: "He Tianqi is burdened by his past fame. In order to prove that he is good at training young players, he does not hesitate to destroy a group of young players. This is what makes him different from Wenger and Rijkaard!"

Clara: "Barcelona doesn't need to be burdened by their reputation, because they have always lost all four major titles in the past few years and have nothing to lose! They are doing well now, but it's not because Guardiola came, but because He Tianqi left!"

Ninety minutes later, Aston Villa narrowly beat Middlesbrough 2-1.

Agbonlahor received a super assist from De Bruyne in the final moments and completed the winning goal.

De Bruyne, who assisted and scored twice, was named the best player of the game.

September 22nd, third round of the League Cup.

Villa will face the challenge of Premier League team Leeds United at home.

Although the opponent sent out a lineup of youth training and substitutes, there are always a few Premier League players who should not be underestimated.

On the Villa side, Milner was once again excluded from the squad.

The British media was in an uproar.

Is He Tianqi going against the British Empire?

Ninety minutes later, Villa successfully defeated Leeds United and advanced to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup.

Dong Fangzhuo, De Bruyne and Giroud scored successively.

De Bruyne, who scored one goal and provided one assist, was once again named the best player of the match.

As long as the striker does not score more than two goals, his score is generally higher.

He is completely different from Modric in terms of his performance on the court. He is the kind of player who will attract the attention of fans and opponents.

The sunny and cheerful third-generation rich man is loved by everyone wherever he goes.

Milner looked at De Bruyne's record and was shocked. At the same time, he was hypnotizing himself that he would be as brave when leading the team.

Then continue to communicate tactics with the coaching staff.

However, when communicating tactics, he didn't treat Inzaghi well.

This made Inzaghi a little depressed.

Did I provoke you?

It wasn't me who suggested that you be a "comprehensive substitute".

This is He Tianqi’s plan for you.

September 26th, the ninth round of the Championship.

Milner gathered his friends at home to watch the match between Villa and Crystal Palace.

He has high hopes for this game.

Because Crystal Palace is ranked higher than Middlesbrough.

The team has used young players throughout this year, with excellent results, and is currently ranked third in the Championship, behind only Newcastle United and Aston Villa.

With a whistle, the game officially begins.

On TV, He Tianqi sat steadily in the coaching booth at Villa Park, not worried about the game.

In fact, this Crystal Palace is far inferior to Leeds United.

The reason they were able to rank third was, on the one hand, that their early schedule was too friendly and their opponents were not strong.

On the other hand, it was true that the two young players on the wing were going crazy.

But for young people, the state comes and goes quickly.

Moreover, once it encounters a blow or is targeted, it is likely to fall from grace.

If nothing unexpected happens, will Crystal Palace's final result this season be 23rd or 24th?
In short, it was badly downgraded.

The team's left wing is 19-year-old Victor Moses.

He played for England's youth teams at all levels and was the top scorer in the U17 European Cup, but three years later he finally chose his homeland Nigeria, became an international for the African Eagles and helped Nigeria win the Africa Cup.

Since then, he has played for many top clubs including Chelsea, Liverpool, West Ham United and Inter Milan.

This is a future star.

However, the team's right side is more famous.

That is the 17-year-old "England's Balotelli" and "London's King of Zaha" - Wilfried Zaha!

He mainly played for Crystal Palace in his career and was a legendary star of Crystal Palace. He also joined Manchester United, Cardiff City, Manchester City, Galatasaray and other teams, but all of them were short-lived.

As for the national team, he also switched from the England national team to his native Ivory Coast team.

These two players are typical players with fast speed, good dribbling, strong impact and good shooting skills.

Crystal Palace has relied on the performance of their two wings this season to give fans hope of promotion to the Super League.

Villa's starting lineup for this game is:
Dong Fangzhuo, Abang Laho

De Bruyne
Fellaini, Motta, Kante

Bale, Cuellar, Bonucci, Walker, Schmeichel
-

In the seventh minute, the "King of the Ball" directly blasted Bale.

Although Bale is also very fast, when speed players confront each other, the one with the ball has the advantage.

Just like in basketball, the offense has the advantage.

Zaha dribbled past Bale and made a cross.

The opponent's center forward headed the ball into the goal.

Unfortunately, he didn't use enough strength and was caught by Schmeichel.

In the twelfth minute, Zaha wanted to repeat the same trick, but Fellaini came over early and completed the steal with Bale.

Motta then made a long pass to Abanglaho.

Abang Laho fought hard and forced a cross to create a corner kick.

De Bruyne takes a corner kick.

Bonucci leapt high and headed the ball into the goal.

However, the opponent's goalkeeper was in a good position and blocked the ball.

The opposing defender immediately cleared the ball.

As luck would have it, the ball flew to Kante's feet outside the penalty area.

Kante raised his foot and shot the ball into the goal.

It can be seen that it was just a blind kick.

But God loves stupid children.

The ball somehow passed through the players of both teams and went into the far goal.

"GOAL! One to zero!"

"Kante scores the lead goal for Villa!"

"This player has not contributed a goal in the past two years. This is really a case of the iron tree blooming and the water flowing backwards!"

"Crystal Palace was unlucky. It's a pity that they were scored by such a pure defensive player!"

There has always been controversy about whether Kanter is a pure defensive player.

During his peak period, he was the world's best defensive midfielder, and one could even remove the word "defense".

At the end of his career, he developed abilities such as organization, dribbling, and passing threatening balls.

Therefore, many people think that Kante is an all-around core midfielder who has been delayed.

But in reality, Kante cannot be the core of the offense.

His vision, running, and prediction have all reached the standard of an offensive core, not much worse than De Bruyne.

But there is one thing he can't do well, and it is something that many mediocre core midfielders can easily do well, and that is... passing the ball!
If Kante's talent in physical fitness is at the maximum level and his talent in vision and prediction is close to the maximum level, then his passing talent is level zero.

It's not that he can't make a good pass.

But his feet... have no memory of passing the ball!
What do top pitchers, top passers, and top shooters rely on?
Foot feel!

They have a memory of the feel of their feet when pitching, passing, and shooting.

Don’t ask why it is so accurate, just ask the feeling!

Through a lot of training, you can have this kind of foot feel or hand feel. It sounds simple, but it is actually a screening of talent.

Curry has shot the ball a hundred times, and his body has completely memorized the feeling of scoring a goal. He only needs to replicate that feeling to ensure his hit rate.

O'Neal could not remember any feeling of his body after shooting a hundred times. Every subsequent shot was a new challenge and attempt, and everything was unknown.

Kante's foot feel, like O'Neal's, has no memory function, so he often makes an abstract pass after a wonderful dribbling organization, which is incredible.

De Bruyne is the extreme opposite of Kante in this regard.

Regardless of De Bruyne's passing choices, the quality of his passes is almost always the most perfect route you can pass in the game.

Things like bypassing defenders, finding teammates, grasping distance and position, etc., are all as accurate as AI!

In this regard, Modric needs to give him a little training in three-point shooting.

This is also the reason why De Bruyne is much more recognized under He Tianqi than Modric of the same period.

The latter made a lot of incredibly low-quality passes.

And De Bruyne's passes were all high-quality.

In the 19th minute, Crystal Palace found that Zaha's attack was not very effective, so they decisively switched to Moses.

Moses accelerated and decelerated continuously and then exploded to eat Walker alive. Walker chased back desperately and tackled him directly in anger.

As a result, Moses was one step faster and kicked the ball out, and then was knocked down by Walker.

The referee immediately blew the whistle and showed Walker a yellow card.

Walker looked unconvinced.

He rarely suffers such a big loss on defense.

In the 25th minute, Villa organized an attack. Dong Fangzhuo retreated to receive the ball and suddenly shot.

The ball went slightly wide.

In the 33rd minute, Zaha made a comeback, passed Bale and made a cross pass.

The opponent's center forward took a shot, but unfortunately the ball hit the post.

A bit of luck.

Then he turned around and gave Zaha a thumbs up.

The camera also locked on Zaha and Bale.

The former was in high spirits.

The latter seems to be in trouble.

Bale is not as agile as Zaha in changing direction, so when Zaha attacks with the ball, Bale will be a beat slower.

Even though he was extremely fast, he wouldn't completely miss Zaha, but it was enough for the opponent to pass the ball.

"Bell, use your body!" He Tianqi pulled Bell, "Use your strengths and confront him physically. His body is not good enough. Once you touch him, his speed will drop."

"Don't worry about being passed by him after you get close to him. As long as you put physical pressure on him, even if the ball flies past you, you will definitely be the one catching up with it!"

Bell nodded repeatedly.

There is a lot of inertial thinking in offense and defense, which can sometimes help everyone reduce the cost of trial and error.

But sometimes, it also limits everyone.

In order to avoid being dribbled past by Zaha, Bale was dribbled past by Zaha this time.

Once he is no longer worried about being dribbled past by Zaha, it will be difficult for Zaha to dribble past him.

In the 41st minute, Zaha used his experience against Bale and challenged him with the ball again.

His teammates also have great confidence in him and are preparing to run and grab points.

As a result, Bale approached Zaha directly.

Zaha kicked the ball five meters away, ready to speed up and eat Bale alive.

But after Bale came close, Zaha seemed to have hit a wall.

He was immediately bounced back a little.

You can only take a detour outside the sideline.

Then he was always pressed behind by Bell.

Seeing that there was no hope of getting the ball, Zaha slowed down and gave up the fight.

Bale caught up with the ball, turned around and faced Zaha with the ball.

At this moment, the two speed kings' eyes met and sparks burst out!

boom!
Bale kicked the ball ten meters away.

The ball flew past Zaha.

The next moment, the two began to race.

Bale is in a deeper position but Zaha needs to turn around.

The two were almost at the same starting line.

But Zaha soon realized something was wrong.

How come this new Welsh Giggs is so fast?
Seeing that Bale was about to overtake him, Zaha subconsciously wanted to block the position.

But he no longer has the positional advantage.

On the contrary, his speed dropped immediately after coming into contact with Bell.

Bell was not much affected.

The suppression of physical strength is clear.

Sometimes being a little weaker means being a lot weaker.

Bale eats Zaha raw.

Go straight to the left.

“Cut inside!”

Bell's subconscious personality and He Tianqi's tactical requirements perfectly match each other at this moment.

He took the initiative to cut inside and took an extra step on the left rib.

Everyone thought he was going to pass the ball to Dong Fangzhuo, Abang Laho in the penalty area or De Bruyne at the top of the arc.

But bang!
Bale took a long shot directly from the left side outside the penalty area.

No one is defending!

Swish!
The football went straight into the net!

The Crystal Palace goalkeeper made a useless diving save, which was even more unnecessary than Wang Duoyu's.

This shot was too fast and too powerful!
"GOAL! Two to zero!"

"Gareth Bale scored the goal!"

"He redeemed himself! He was completely suppressed by Zaha in the first half of the game."

"But now, he has completed a steal on Zaha, dribbled past him and scored a wonderful goal!"

"He did everything on both offense and defense by himself!"

"Too fast! Bale is so fast! Even Zaha, who is known for his speed, couldn't keep up with him!"

"It is reported that Bale is even faster than Agbonlahor and Walcott, and is the fastest player in England!"

He Tianqi threw three consecutive farmer punches.

Cheers to Bale's goal.

Inzaghi frowned and asked, "Well... Bale's shot selection seems to be a bit inconsistent with our tactical rules?"

"It was a 6.5-point chance at best, but if it was given to Dong Fangzhuo or De Bruyne, it would be at least an 8-point chance."

"It's also a seven-point chance for Abanglaho."

"Should I go and knock on Bell later?"

He Tianqi shook his head: "No, this is good."

Inzaghi is full of question marks.

But if his senior brothers Guardiola and Simeone were here, they would know that the person with the offensive privilege or even the highest offensive right in this team has surfaced!
The core of Palermo's midfield is Modric, and Ribery is the first attacker.

The core of the midfield of the Silver He battleship is still Modric, and the first attacker is Ronaldo.

Guess who is He Shiwei's midfield core and first attacker?
