In Yang Cheng's tactics, there is a central axis line, which consists of the center forward, attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder, central defender and goalkeeper. These five players form this central axis line.

  But on both sides, there is a deputy line, left center back, left center forward, left wing; right center back, right center forward and right wing. The intersection of these two deputy lines falls on the goalkeeper, and since the wing and forward positions are even, from a tactical point of view, this is an inverted triangle that covers the entire field.

  Although Tim Hanks and Paul Beyer had understood Yang Cheng's tactics before, and had studied them together, at this moment they were still shocked, because even now they could not fully understand the tactical intentions and ideas that Yang Cheng had instilled in them.

  "In a tactical system, the midfield is always crowded with troops, but who doesn't know that an attack is about opening up space? So where is the space?" Yang Chengyue spoke more confidently, especially when he saw the players in the conference room listening to him like students.

  "Right on the sideline!" Yang Cheng drew out the two auxiliary lines on both sides heavily.

  "When defending, both center backs need to return to their positions in the first time, maintaining the team's defensive formation. However, when pressing forward on defense, the two center backs can take turns making runs forward, just like fullbacks actively participating in the offense." Yang Cheng drew two large arcs from left and right center back to midfield.

  "Two left and right midfielders also need to actively support the front wing while maintaining pressure on the opponent in the front court."

  "The movement of the organizer in the back waist area can't deviate from the central axis region, because only in this way can his passing guarantee that the ball is kept on both sides for the shortest time. Otherwise, if he moves to the left route, the ball needs to be transferred from his foot to the right route at least once, of course, he can also choose a long pass, but the accuracy rate is not high, try to avoid it!"

  The players looked at the tactical analysis drawn by Yang Cheng on the tactics board and nodded in unison.

  "The two wingers' responsibility is to deliver the ball into the penalty area, focusing on the back of the opponent's defensive players. Therefore, passing through after breaking through is the most lethal, and the striker's responsibility is to score goals while infiltrating the opponent's defense line, creating opportunities and space for the attacking midfielder's rear insertion!"

  Yang Cheng pulled out the tactical drawing board during the offense, and then drew all kinds of lines on it to prove his words, while also constantly subdividing the responsibilities of each player in each position and region.

  It can be said that in his attacking routine, the team kept two defenders in the middle circle, while others could press up, but Yang Cheng gave different arrangements to the left and right midfielders.

  For Iniesta and Gatusso, the former has excellent attacking ability on the left wing and also has a long shot, so Yang will let him actively insert forward and participate in the attack on the left road, so in his tactical arrangement, the left road is the focus of the attack.

  Gatusso's attacking ability is insufficient, but his mobility is excellent, so he can retreat to a place where he and Belloni are basically even, as Belloni's supporting point and protector. At the same time, once the front field loses the ball, he can form a sweeping area in midfield at the first time, even if he cannot intercept the ball, at least he can delay the opponent's attack.

  Of course, these are arrangements that will be made when the tactics are set up on the spot. Yang Cheng will definitely not say it now, otherwise, who would know that he already has a fixed starting lineup in his mind?

  "As soon as the offense loses, loses control of the ball, everyone must immediately engage in on-site counter-robbery. All players around the ball must form area control around the ball in the first time, limiting the passing route of the ball holder, and then stick to the body to rob!"

  "The striker is the team's first defender, but cannot retreat and must always be at the forefront of the team, maintaining pressure on the opponent's defense line, especially when the ball is still in the opponent's half court. Must firmly control the area around the penalty zone, harass the opponent's passing and goalkeeper's return pass!"

  "Just like I said earlier, in my tactics, offense is not just the responsibility of midfield and frontcourt, defense is also not just the duty of midfield and backcourt. So including forwards, they all have to actively participate in defense at the first time when losing the ball, maintaining pressure on opponents in midfield."

  "The two central midfielders' responsibilities in defense are to protect the wings and center, while the wingers, after quickly counter-attacking, also need to actively retreat and defend, coordinating with the left and right defenders to protect the back line."

  In Yang Cheng's tactics, midfield is the biggest reliance for defense.

  Barak, Nedved and Gattuso are all excellent players in terms of running and defensive capabilities. Beron's defensive ability is not strong, but his running response ability is good. As long as the cooperative defense consciousness is established, plus Barak's withdrawal and the midfield barrier will be formed.

  Yang chose to use Gatusso in the right midfielder position, because he valued his running ability. As long as he was on the field, he could continuously harass the opponent throughout the game and disrupt their offense.

  In Yang Chen's defensive system, Gatusso is an exception because he has neither excellent positioning nor impressive defensive skills. His only outstanding aspect lies in his running ability and tactical execution.

  If he were to be beaten by him, Yang Cheng was very suspicious that as long as the opponent made a move, he would definitely lose his position. This is probably why Ancelotti didn't let him be the last line of defense in front of the backline.

  But on the other hand, if you want to play to his strengths, then you have to utilize his running ability, letting him constantly run around the court, expanding his coverage area, and always maintaining interference with the opponent. Then, with Nedi?, Barak, and Bellon forming a midfield barrier, Kaiserslautern's midfield interception strength will be very strong.

  Of course, if Gatuso can continue to make progress, strengthen his defensive awareness and positioning sense, it will be a huge boost for Kaiserslautern's midfield, which is also why Yang Cheng would give him triple growth acceleration.

  "Also, starting from tomorrow, we will increase more detailed requirements in training. Firstly, the running between players and players can form a diamond shape besides the triangular running, but the distance between people should be controlled within 10 meters. Each player must seriously experience this 10-meter distance feeling. Once exceeded 10 meters is considered a foul."

  "Second, everyone must lift their heads to kick the ball, because only by lifting your heads can you better observe the surrounding environment, observe the running position of teammates, and provide timely support and passing."

  "Third, passing should be aimed at the teammate's dominant foot, but not to their feet, because we are not standing still kicking the ball, all players on our field need to run, so the ball also needs to keep moving, this can't be passed to the teammate's dominant foot, but rather about 1 meter in front of them in the direction they're moving!"

  "Fourth, when A and B are passing the ball, the third player must run away, with a triangle or diamond shape being best, and be prepared to receive the ball and respond at any time!"

  "Fifth, all passes must be completed within one foot, and no more than two touches are allowed, otherwise it will be considered a foul!"

  "These five key points will be implemented in training starting from tomorrow, all of you must maintain 100% concentration during training, otherwise, once you violate the rules, I would be happy to see you punished!"

  The players were often penalized during the game of "monkey walk" today, and they were all scared to death. As soon as they heard this, they all felt a chill run down their spines.

  Yang Chen clapped his palms loudly to attract the attention of all the players, and then walked into the center of the conference room, where he was gazed at by everyone.

  "Comrades, although I know that at this moment in your minds, many of you have a not-so-good impression of me, thinking that I'm young and inexperienced. But that's not important, what's most important is that we're now on the same boat, we must work together with one heart!"

  "Football has always been a team sport, relying on me or any one of you is impossible to defeat the opponent. Even if it's a strong star player, they need excellent teammates by their side in order to succeed, otherwise there will only be failure!"

  "In the next month, it will be the most difficult period for our team, but I have confidence that as long as we work together and get through this tough time, a bright future awaits us. After one season, we will return to the Bundesliga, after one season, we will reap a great harvest and win the applause of fans."

  "By that time, when you look back on this month, you will find that the hardships and tiredness you have endured, and all your efforts, are worthwhile!"

  Yang Cheng paused for a moment and revealed a hint of a playful smile.

  "The contract I signed with the club is for 1 year, and after that, we'll see the results and decide whether to renew it for another year. If after one year, you still think like today that I'm not suitable to continue staying in the team, then I will resign voluntarily. However, if someone tries to challenge my authority as the head coach of the team during this one-year period, sorry, I will mercilessly destroy him first!"

  When it came to the last sentence, Yang Cheng looked more determined than ever, with a fierce expression.

  "That's all I have to say, and from now on, whatever you want to do is up to you!"

  After finishing, Yang Cheng turned and left the conference room. Tim and Paul followed him out, they still had to continue discussing tomorrow's training session content. Only the players who were left in the room whispered among themselves, and Bremmer stood by the door watching Yang Cheng leave, his eyes revealing a puzzled expression.
