Chapter 11 Organization
Inside Arsenal's training ground.
Wenger watched the training match from the sidelines.
His eyes have been fixed on one place for a long time.
Under his gaze, he could see Lucky running hard on the field, but unlike before, his head was raised and he was constantly turning left and right, as if observing the position of his teammates.
Occasionally he will take the initiative to run forward to get the ball and then complete the transfer.
Although the passes are all safe balls, it can be seen that Lucky is trying to learn organizational skills.
Wenger couldn't help but sigh, it seems that the game against Liverpool had a great impact on Lucky.
With Arteta lost, Arsenal's offense fell into a huge dilemma.
In that game, Lucky also tried to play a few offensive passes, but without organization to involve the opponent's defense, it was simply ineffective.
Wenger approves of Lucky's change.
He hopes that every player can maintain a hungry state, continue to learn, and continue to become stronger!
In the arena, Lucky had begun to pant heavily.
According to his physical ability, there shouldn't be such a problem, but no one knows how much information Lucai is receiving at this moment.
Arteta briefly explained the organization to Lucky.
One person holds the ball and many people run. One or more people in the team's organizational role do not move forward quickly, but retreat close to the player holding the ball, then receive the ball, transfer, and then run towards the ball holding player. Player, hold the ball again and transfer.
This is the process of organization.
But Lucai still didn't quite understand, or in other words, he couldn't find an entry point.
For example, how to judge whether the organization can have an impact on the other party.
In response, Arteta was silent for a moment and gave only one answer.
'experience! ’
All right!
Lucky didn't have this thing, so he needed to find another way.
The first thing he thought of was his gift of foresight.
But it is easy to predict a person and observe the other person's actions in the next second.
But foresee so many people at the same time, integrate the harvested information, and then summarize it to draw a clear running map in your mind.
Lucky said that this is simply not something that humans can do.
But he had no choice but to explore on his own.
Lucky kept trying, and under Lucky's attempts, the bench team's offense became messy.
Many people looked at Lucky with helpless looks.
After all, it was very difficult for them to play.
But they didn't dare to tell Lucky directly.
Fortunately, their savior has arrived!
"Come out!!"
Patrice roared at Lucky from the sidelines.
Lucky looked confused. He didn't know where he had offended this old man again.
Lucky walked off the field and said dissatisfied: "Hey! I'm just about to find the feeling. If I learn how to organize, I can help Arteta share the pressure."
"Bullshit organization!" Patrice turned around and said, "Follow me."
Lucky shouted: "Where to go?"
Patrice said without looking back; "Learn organization!"
Lucai's eyes lit up and he immediately followed!
Under the leadership of Patrice, the two came to the tactics room.
Patrice pulled down the curtains and the room became dark.
Immediately, he turned on the projection device, and a video of the game appeared on the screen in front of him.
"Start studying hard now!"
Patrice said.
Lucky nodded quickly.
"First of all, organization is to connect the team's overall offensive line through ball control and passing, and mobilize the opponent's defensive line to form a favorable situation for us!"
"Through balls, long passes, these are not considered organizations. And more key passes and more threatening passes do not mean that the playmaker is the core, and the playmaker does not necessarily mean that there are many threatening passes. Do you understand?"
Patrice said.
Lucky was a little confused and said: "I have organized it like this before!"
"Bullshit organization!" Patrice cursed.
Immediately, he opened the video. Here was an early video of Arsenal. In the video, Vieira, wearing No. 4, was constantly passing the ball.
Lucky watched very carefully, taking note of every passing route and its impact.
"How is it?" Patrice asked.
Lucky frowned slightly and said, "There's nothing special about it, it's just that there are a lot more lateral transfers!"
"That's right!" Patrice nodded; "This is the key! The organization does not allow you to always pass the ball forward to threaten the opponent's defense. Once the opponent suddenly pounces to steal, it will be dangerous, so the organization must move more left, right and horizontal "Move the ball, pass some safety balls."
"The core issue of the organization is to ensure that the ball is in one's own hands."
"As I just said, what is a favorable situation? Isn't it a favorable situation when the ball is at your feet? We are the offensive side, and the defensive pressure is on the opponent. This is a favorable situation."
"So instead of passing the ball forward randomly like you do, you should make more moves to the left and right to mobilize the opponent's defense. Once a certain player or position of the opponent is open, quickly pass it to your own side. Players who threaten the ball, or just do it yourself!”
"You should know about the neutral position, right?"
Lucky nodded solemnly. He believed what Patrice said. He was better than what Arteta said. This also made Lucky understand what he should do specifically.
Immediately, Lucky said in embarrassment: "But I can't hold the ball!"
"Idiot! I said it's not about holding the ball, let you pass the ball! Just pass the ball, don't you like to touch the ball the most? Just do it like that, don't stick to the ball, pass the ball away, pass it back, and keep doing it. Pass the ball to the left and right, waiting for the opponent to reveal a flaw, or pass it to a player who is good at breaking through to break up the defense, do you understand? "
Lucky nodded heavily.
Now I really understand!
Lucky returned to the field. As soon as he came back, Walcott smiled and asked, "How did you learn?"
Lucky stretched out his thumb and said, "Just wait and see!"
At the same moment, Patrice also came to Wenger's side.
Wenger asked; "How was it?"
"I don't know!" Patrice said; "I explained it, but I'm not sure how far he can go."
Wenger nodded and smiled; "Don't be anxious and take your time. Even if you can't become a big core, you are still a top midfielder."
Patrice pursed his lips and remained silent.
Can’t become a big core?
No, he is not willing to do this!
After returning to the training match, Lucky still kept turning his head.
At the same time, move toward the player with the ball.
After getting the ball, he often transfers to the left and right sides, and every time Lucky will stay close to the player holding the ball, waiting to catch the ball.
Sometimes Lucky will pass the ball forward, but most of the time the opponent will pass it back to him.
Lucky smashed the ball in another direction and continued to transfer.
Seeing this, Wenger smiled and said, "Well done!"
Patrice nodded and said; "But the most difficult thing about organization is to grasp the timing of the attack. The reason why Arteta was suppressed by Gerrard largely depends on his lack of accurate control of the timing of the attack. , and he didn’t dare to pass many balls at the same time!”
Patrice said seriously: "Organization is just a process, and the purpose is just to get that one kick that can tear apart the opponent's defense."
Patrice's tone was choked and he looked at the arena in surprise.
After several consecutive transfers, Lucky suddenly attacked on the right.
A curve ball from behind, and at this time point, the main player was just on the left side. This is also the result of Lucai's guidance.
Lucky then used his precise long pass to directly find the gap.
Gervinho ran at full speed chasing the ball.
The ball was eventually destroyed by Vermaelen.
But I have to say that this shocking pass really shocked them.
Lucky raised his head with a look of pity on his face.
But soon his expression was filled with excitement.
He found the feeling.
On the sidelines, Patrice and Wenger also fell into an eerie silence.
Wenger said seriously: "That ball just now"
"The organization is still a little rusty, but it did deliberately direct the main defense to the left, while giving Gervinho enough sprinting distance, coupled with that precise long pass!" Patrice was silent.
Wenger said: "His growth has been amazing."
"No, no, no!" Patrice frowned, as if thinking about something. After a while, he said: "No! This is not growth, but the talent he already has, but he never knows how to go about it. use."
"It's like puzzle pieces. No one notices them when they are scattered, but when they are put together, it becomes a beautiful picture!"
Wenger pondered for a moment and said: "Let him learn organization from Arteta first!"
