Volume 2 Chapter 11 Organization
Inside Arsenal's training base.
Wenger watched the training match on the sidelines.
His eyes had been fixed on one place for a long time.
As he watched, he could see Lekai running hard on the field, but unlike before, his head was raised and constantly turning left and right, front and back, as if he was observing the positions of his teammates.
Occasionally he would take the initiative to run forward to ask for the ball and then complete the transfer.
Although the passes were all safe balls, it can be seen that Lekai is trying to learn organizational skills.
Wenger couldn't help but sigh that it seemed that the game against Liverpool had a great impact on Lukaku.
With Arteta lost, Arsenal's offense fell into a huge dilemma.
In that game, Lekai also tried to make a few offensive passes, but without any organization to engage the opponent's defense, it was completely ineffective.
Wenger approves of this change in Lucky.
He hopes that every player will stay hungry, keep learning, and keep getting stronger!
In the arena, Lucky has already started breathing heavily.
According to his physical fitness, this problem should not exist, but no one knows how much information Lucky received at this moment.
Arteta once briefly explained the organization to Lukay.
One person holds the ball while multiple people run. The one or more people who play an organizing role in the team do not run forward quickly, but retreat close to the player holding the ball, then receive the ball, make a transfer, and then run towards the player holding the ball, hold the ball and make a transfer again.
This is the process of organization.
But Lekai still didn’t quite understand, or rather, he couldn’t find a point of entry.
For example, how to judge whether an organization can have an influence on the other party.
In response, Arteta was silent for a moment and gave only one answer.
'experience!'
All right!
Kodak doesn’t have this thing, so he needs to find another way.
The first thing he thought of was his gift of foresight.
But it is easy to predict a person's future and you can observe his or her actions in the next second.
But at the same time, foresee so many people, integrate the information gained, and then summarize it, and draw a clear running line chart in your mind.
Lekai said that this is simply not something that humans can do.
But he had no choice but to figure it out on his own.
Lekai kept trying, and under Lekai's attempts, the offense of the substitute team became a mess.
Many people looked helplessly at Lucky.
After all, it was very difficult for them to play like this.
But they didn't dare to confront Lucky directly.
Fortunately, their savior has arrived!
“Come out here!!”
Pat Les yelled at Lucky on the sidelines.
Lekai was completely confused. He didn't know how he had offended the old man again.
Lucky walked off the field and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey! I'm just trying to find the feeling. If I learn to organize, I can help Arteta share the pressure."
"What a shitty organization!" Patrese turned around and said, "Follow me."
Lucky yelled, "Where are you going?"
Patrese said without even turning his head; "Learn the organization!"
Lekai's eyes lit up and he followed immediately!
Led by Patles, the two came to the tactical room.
Patrizia drew down the curtains, and the room became dark.
Immediately, he turned on the projection equipment, and a video of the game appeared on the screen in front of him.
"Start studying hard now!"
Patles said.
Lucky nodded quickly.
"First of all, organization is to connect the team's overall offensive route through ball control and passing, and mobilize the opponent's defensive line to create a situation that is favorable to us!"
"Through balls and long passes are not considered as playmaking. Also, having many key passes and threatening passes does not mean that one is the playmaking core, and the playmaking core does not necessarily have many threatening passes. Do you understand?"
Patles said.
Lucky was a little confused and said, "I organized it this way before!"
"What a shitty organization!" Patrese cursed.
Immediately, he turned on the video, which was an early video of Arsenal. In the video, Vieira, wearing the No. 4 jersey, was constantly passing the ball.
Lekai watched very carefully, noting every pass route and the impact it caused.
"How is it?" asked Patras.
Lekai frowned slightly and said, "There's nothing special about it, except that there are a lot more lateral transfers!"
"That's right!" Patles nodded; "This is the key! Playmaking doesn't mean you always pass the ball forward to threaten the opponent's defense. Once the opponent suddenly rushes to steal the ball, it will be dangerous. So playmaking requires more lateral transfers to the left and right and pass some safe balls."
"The core issue of organization is to ensure that the ball is in our hands."
"Like I said just now, what is a favorable situation? Isn't it a favorable situation when the ball is at our feet? We are the attackers, and the defensive pressure is on the opponent, so this is a favorable situation."
"So instead of just passing the ball forward randomly like you did, you should make more transfers to the left and right to distract and mobilize the opponent's defense. Once a player or position of the opponent has an opening, quickly pass it to your own player who can pass a threatening ball, or just do it yourself!"
"You should know the gap, right?"
Luka nodded solemnly. What Patres said was very detailed, better than what Arteta said. This also made Luka understand what he should do specifically.
Immediately, Lucky said in embarrassment: "But I can't hold the ball!"
"Idiot! I told you it's not a problem with holding the ball. I told you to pass the ball! You know how to pass the ball, right? Don't you like to touch the ball with one foot? Just do it, don't stick to the ball, pass the ball to the left and right, wait for the opponent to show a flaw, or pass it to your own players who are good at breaking through to tear the defense line, understand?"
Lucky nodded heavily.
Now I really understand!
…
Lucky returned to the court. As soon as he came back, Walcott asked with a smile, "How is your study going?"
Lucky gave a thumbs up and said, "Just wait and see!"
At the same time, Patles also came to Wenger.
Wenger asked; "How is it?"
"I don't know!" said Patras. "I explained it, but I'm not sure how far he can go."
Wenger nodded and smiled; " Don't worry, take your time. Even if you can't become a core player, you will be a top defensive midfielder."
Patras pursed his lips and said nothing.
Can’t become a big core?
No, he couldn't accept this!
After returning to the training match, Lucky continued to turn his head.
At the same time, move closer to the player with the ball.
After getting the ball, he would transfer to the left and right sides more often, and every time Lekai would stay near the player with the ball, waiting to receive the ball.
Sometimes Lucky would pass the ball forward, but most of the time the opponent would pass it back to him.
Lucky spiked the ball and changed direction, continuing to move.
Seeing this, Wenger smiled and said, "Well done!"
Patles nodded and said, "But the most difficult part of organizing is to grasp the timing of attack. The reason why Arteta was suppressed by Gerrard is largely due to the fact that he did not control the timing of attack so accurately. At the same time, he did not dare to pass many balls!"
Patles said seriously: "Organization is just a process, and the purpose is just to have that kick that can tear through the opponent's defense... um..."
Patrese's tone choked and he looked at the field in surprise.
After several consecutive passes, Lekai suddenly attacked on the right.
A curve ball was hit behind the player, and at this point in time, the main player was just on the left side, which was also the result of Lekai's guidance.
Then Lekai used his precise long pass to find the open space.
Gervinho ran at full speed to chase the ball.
In the end, the ball was blocked by Vermaelen.
But it must be said that this thrilling pass did give them a scare.
Lekai looked up with a look of regret.
But soon his expression was filled with excitement.
He found the feeling.
On the sidelines, Patrice and Wenger also fell into a strange silence.
Wenger said seriously, "That ball just now..."
"The organization is still a little unfamiliar, but the main defense was deliberately directed to the left, while giving Gervinho enough distance to sprint, plus that precise long pass !" Patrice was silent.
Wenger said: "His growth has been amazing."
"No, no, no!" Patles frowned, as if thinking about something. After a while, he said, "No! This is not growth, but a talent he already has, but he never knew how to use it."
"It's like a puzzle. No one notices them when they are scattered, but when they are put together, they become a beautiful picture!"
Wenger pondered for a moment and said: "Let him learn organization from Arteta first!"
