Chapter 181 A Powerful Attack Group (Fourth Update)
"CCTV, this is the youth training base located in Mishan District of the capital. On October 14th, in response to the call of the national youth coaching team, the Chinese U17 national youth team has completed its assembly one day ahead of schedule. He Chaoyue, a Chinese player playing abroad, will arrive in Dafeng City, Liaodong Province on the 20th to join the team!"

"According to the coaching staff's arrangements, two warm-up matches will be held on October 20th and 23rd, against the Uzbekistan U17 national team and the Saudi Arabia U17 national team respectively!"

"We will depart for Kanagawa Prefecture in the Kanto region of Japan on October 28th to prepare for the first round of group matches!"

"China's U17 national team is currently in Group B, along with Spain's U17 team, Canada's U17 team, Mali's U17 team, and China's U17 national team!"

"We look forward to the outstanding achievements of the Chinese youth in this journey! This report is from Gao Xiaoxiao. Goodbye!"

After confirming that the cameras were off, Gao Xiaoxiao called out, "Brother Wang, aren't we going to film some training footage?"

Brother Wang picked up the camera and shrugged, saying, "The coaching staff won't let us film it, saying it'll reveal tactics!"

"Do we even have a strategy? We'll just lose if we go out there!" Gao Xiaoxiao joked with a smile.

Brother Wang suddenly frowned; "Don't joke around like that, this national youth team is different."

Gao Xiaoxiao blinked: "Is it very strong?"

Brother Wang turned his head to look at the field, and seeing the continuous and rapid passing and receiving, he couldn't help but grin and say:

"Maybe!"

At the training ground, the coaching staff, including Xue Guohao, stood on the sidelines, each with a blank expression.

They had notebooks in their hands, but they just didn't know how to take notes.

"Is this progress? This is evolution!"

Liu Guowei suddenly put down his notebook, turned to Xue Guohao, and said, "What do we do? The old tactics are completely unsuitable!"

Xue Guohao was also staring at the court, his mind a complete mess!
Xiang Ming dribbled down the wing, feinting with both feet in quick succession before easily penetrating the penalty area. Without hesitation, he raised his left foot and fired a low shot into the net.

"Practical dribbling, concise movements, decisive shooting, improved ball control, stronger physique, better shooting technique, and excellent rhythm!"

Xue Guohao pursed his lips.

He turned his head to look at the backcourt.

After receiving the ball, Chen Shaojie immediately passed it out.

Then, when you receive the ball again, turn your head to the left and twist your waist slightly. Just as the opponent's center of gravity shifts, suddenly pull the ball back to center and nimbly dodge it.

"With the dual guidance of vision and center of gravity, coupled with a clean and crisp playing style, a steady control of the midfield area, and reasonable use of the rules, one can handle every ball well and better connect with other players."

Xue Guohao sighed.

But the most outrageous one was that guy!
boom! boom! boom!
"The seamless transitions between passes spread like a spider web, subtly leading teammates to an advantageous position. It's not so much about cooperating with teammates, but rather guiding them, controlling the game through passing and movement."

"Swift decision-making, accurate judgment, excellent sense of rhythm, plus those two feet with an amazing ability to curve the ball!"

Xue Guohao looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

The style of painting is wrong!
Their midfield should be the rough and tumble type, relying on sheer numbers, disruptive tactics, and physical confrontations; they need to do the hard work and the tough stuff.

But now, this midfield combination...

Isn't this a classic combination of technical expertise?
"I suddenly don't want to play with two defensive midfielders anymore!" Xue Guohao grinned at Liu Guowei. "A double defensive midfield is a complete waste; the firepower just can't be unleashed!"

"So, will Wei come in as a lone defensive midfielder?"

"Bullshit!" Xue Guohao cursed, "You're willing to put Wei Lai at position 6 now? He's practically a position 8!"

"He's now well-rounded on both offense and defense, but his offensive firepower is stronger! Pei Le's creativity, combined with Wei Lai's... that kind of controlling organization, I feel we can be much bolder in our tactical deployments!"

"Look! Chen Shaojie is playing as a lone defensive midfielder, with Lu Chaokuan and Yang Fan on his left and right sides cooperating with him to pass the ball out. Of course, Wei Lai will also come back to support from time to time. As long as this line is stable, everything will be fine!"

"The key is the attack line!" Xue Guohao's eyes lit up as he said this!

He licked his dry lips and said:

"Wei Lai in position eight and Pei Le in position ten, that's all they are saying, but they are positioned side by side. With their ability to create opportunities, Xiang Ming, Qian Xi and He Chaoyue in the frontcourt are in full-on attack mode, especially on the wings. Any one of them alone is enough to blow up the opponent!"

"This doesn't even include the two full-backs pushing forward. Of course, this tactic can't have both full-backs rushing up; we have to maintain a four-man backline in the backfield, but that's enough!"

"Such a powerful attack group, are you willing to use it?"

Liu Guowei couldn't help but grin as he looked at the somewhat crazed Xue Guohao;

"Old Xue, are you trying to convince me, or are you trying to convince yourself?"

Liu Guowei: "So, the problem is still the lack of a single defensive midfielder! It all depends on whether Chen Shaojie can hold his own!"

"No!" Xue Guohao shook his head; "That's not the problem! It's ball control!"

"The more possession we have, the less attack the opponent has!"

Liu Guowei sighed: "But nowadays, the general approach is high pressing, and once danger arises, a single defensive midfielder isn't enough!"

Xue Guohao was stumped again, frantically rubbing his hair.

“I feel that you can expand Wei Lai’s range of movement and let him move back and forth on his own. Since you’ve already made him the core player, give him more rights. That way, even if you lose the ball, Wei Lai can come back to help defend. His stamina is not a problem!”

Liu Guowei said.

Xue Guohao rubbed his temples and said, "But this way, it's not stable enough!"

Liu Guowei was both amused and exasperated: "I've noticed that you're getting a bit stuck on the details. There's no such thing as a perfect tactic! If you want to defend, you have to give up your offense; if you want to attack, you have to give up some of your defense. It's all about how to make reasonable arrangements and make different choices for different matches."

Xue Guohao paused for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Guowei.

"What the hell?"

Liu Guowei rolled his eyes. "Don't worry about it. Just try it slowly. We have time anyway."

Training has ended on the field.

Wei Lai approached Chen Shaojie and asked, "How's your leg?"

Chen Shaojie lifted his leg; "The recovery is going well, it wasn't a serious injury!"

Wei Lai nodded; "That's fine then!"

Chen Shaojie looked at Wei Lai, leaned closer, and whispered, "Will you step in?"

"Huh? What kind of divination?"

"It's about summoning a spirit medium!" Chen Shaojie winked. "You know what I mean!"

Wei Lai rolled his eyes; "I'll beg you, my foot! And don't use that 'er' suffix so carelessly, what do you mean by 'xian...er'!"

Chen Shaojie asked curiously, "Then how did you know someone was trying to eliminate me?"

Wei Lai: "With the way you kicked before, wiggling your butt, spinning around, and slipping away, I wanted to tackle you so many times. Luckily you're my teammate, otherwise I would have crippled you!"

Chen Shaojie scratched his head; "Yeah, that's why I changed my style a bit."

Wei Lai nodded; "It feels much fresher now, not so oily!"
