Chapter 981 Being a Coach is Different

The current situation in Southampton is indeed not very good. It will take time to fill the vacancy after Rodri left. The partner of the new central defender will also need time to stabilize. The striker is recombined, and it will also take time to gradually show. own level...

Although Ji Ya is the head coach in the world who is least worried about problems with his position, but during this period, if the game situation has not been good, it will undoubtedly affect the team's fighting spirit.

Under such circumstances, when encountering Chelsea, who are in the same situation, and win a championship, the team's situation will naturally be better.

After flying to Istanbul, the Southampton team didn't have much time to play around. After all, there was only three days between the first round and the European Super Cup. There was no time to play, and it was too late to rest.

"Chelsea is actually in a period of pain this season. Hazard left. This is a big blow to Chelsea. After all, he is a core-level player. In addition, Lampard is a rookie. It is normal for him to perform poorly. Well, Chelsea’s management may have chosen to let a newcomer go through the pain period because of this consideration. If he performs well, he has picked a big bargain.

Ji Ya analyzed the coaches, other coaches are not very clear about this management mentality, probably only Ji Ya can grasp some.

"They lost so badly in the first round. In fact, it has something to do with Lampard taking it for granted. In his lineup, the double midfielder combination is actually Jorginho and Kovacic. The two organizational midfielders play double midfielders. As soon as Manchester United's young people charge, the defense will of course have to face the opponent's impact directly. In addition, the central defender combination of Christensen and Zouma is more than tough, not stable enough. The overall tactics are still against Manchester United, and they are directly crushed by the opponent , It’s normal, if Lampard is wiser, he should use a more prudent tactic, playing offensive football at Chelsea is an unwise choice.” Benali said with a smile.

Indeed, some teams have their own souls. A team like Chelsea can be said to have followed the style of Italian football since the Bates era. The introduction of those Italians made them start to change from a mid-range team to a team with the ability to attack. For the top few teams, the first thing to bear is the change of style. Then under the long-term coaching of Ranieri, Mourinho and other coaches who are good at defense, defense has become an instinct of Chelsea. At the beginning, Li wanted to play offense, but later he went on defense. Although the results looked good, but because they didn't fit in with the team's tactics, he was dismissed after the end of the season.

Lampard, on the other hand, was a bit open-minded. In the first round, he used a large number of new players, center Abraham, and midfielder Mount. Although these two people have good potential and talent, they used such young people as the backbone of the attack. The location, obviously, is counterproductive.

However, after the painful lesson of being beaten by Manchester United in the first game, Lampard should be more rational next.

"So this round we will continue our own game style. If they want to defend, they will relax. In short, we will attack... Let Chelsea know through offense. The tacit understanding problem, their problem, is much bigger."

Obviously, Lampard is indeed wise. Although he is a bit inferior as a coach, as a top player, his IQ and ability to assess the situation are definitely not bad.

When August 3th came, the Vodafone Arena was packed. This stadium is the home stadium of Besiktas and can accommodate more than [-] people. Southampton and Chelsea had tens of thousands of fans each. Stadium, others are local neutral fans.

This stadium is a bit small, but the UEFA Super Cup is now also playing a promotional role, so even if the stadium is smaller, it can still host the UEFA Super Cup.

Chelsea's lineup today is no longer the somewhat inexplicable four-two-three formation in the first round. Lampard obediently changed back to four-three-three, and at the same time activated Kante in the midfield. After all, a superstar like Kanter, even if Almost offensive ability, but also an indispensable player for any team.

The goalkeeper Kepa, the two full-backs are Azpilicueta and Emerson, and the central defenders Christensen and Zouma. This defense has not changed. Lampard at least knows that the defense needs stability. It was Kanter who lagged behind, Jorginho and Kovacic came forward, the two wingers were Pulisic and Pedro introduced from Dortmund, Giroud was the starting center, and the two young attackers Mount And Abraham both sat on the bench.

Southampton's starting lineup and the first round of the league have also been fine-tuned. The goalkeeper is still Mendy, the right back has become Rudiger, the left back is Chilwell, the center back is partnered by Araujo and Dericht, and the midfielder Deb Lowe started, but he was assisted by Phillips and Valverde, forwards Du Yue, Alvarez, and Vinicius.

The range of this rotation also seems a bit large, but when Du Yue and De Bruyne are on the court, their playing style will not change much.

This is actually Southampton's usual way of playing in the past few years. It was mainly in the midfield before. Except for De Bruyne, no matter who the other two positions are, it will not have much impact. However, in the last two seasons, after the lineup changed to [-], the midfield began to look more and more fixed.

This kind of fixation allowed Southampton to score more than [-] points in the previous two seasons, but this kind of fixation also made Southampton's young players get a lot less exercise. Kiya starts to examine her own behavior and makes a change.

Whether such a change is good or bad will take time to test.

When the players from both sides came out, the fans in the stands began to shout loudly. Whether it was Southampton fans or Chelsea fans, those who can follow Turkey to watch the game are already quite loyal fans. For them, a change in the team is what they most want to see.

"Hey, Frank, how does it feel to be a coach?" When shaking hands with Lampard, Kiya asked very enthusiastically.

"It's a completely different feeling from being a player." Lampard sighed.

"Leading the adult team is completely different from leading the youth team, so you still have to be careful." Ji Ya said with great concern.

Lampard smiled wryly. He understands this truth, but if he wants to be a professional coach, he has to bear more pressure!
