Chapter 30: Defensive training

On the training ground, the Sampdoria reserve team is conducting a full-field defensive practice under the eleven-player system, with a total of 22 people participating and using the entire court for training.
The purpose of this training is to allow the players to learn the whole team's defense under the conditions of a regular game. The attacking party wears a red vest. The defender wears a blue Sampdoria jersey without a training vest. Both defensive and offensive, as in the official game, will be penalized for fouls and will also be offside. Except for one thing-for the purpose of teaching convenience, the "game" can be stopped by the coach at any time to make adjustments and training.
Assistant coach Alfredo Cassírio is a part-time referee on the court and is also responsible for specific training guidance. Head coach Bruni is on the sidelines and also has a whistle in his hand. He will whistle to stop training when he thinks it is necessary.
Previously, the team would conduct separate defensive training for various situations, either limiting the area or the number of participants.
And now it is placed directly in the entire stadium, and the staffing is carried out according to the official game, which is to integrate all the previous individual trainings for training. In particular, training on the entire court requires higher defense. After all, when the defensive line is pulled away, the air traffic becomes more and more, the defense difficulty increases naturally.
Comprehensive defensive training in the entire field is to ensure that the team can form a tight line of defense when defending, so that it will not be penetrated by a person like a sieve.
"Unexpectedly, Mr. Manager, do you even pay attention to our regular training?" Head coach Bruni said to the newly arrived sports manager Dogliano Latic.
"Of course, there are two geniuses here!" Latic said grinningly.
Icardi has scored five goals in the last six reserve team games, fully demonstrating his ability. The Sampdoria club is already in talks with the Barcelona club to buy out him. Anyway, no matter how good Icardi is, Barcelona will not take him back, no matter whether it is the first team or the B team. Sampdoria is equivalent to picking a bargain, but if it is not cheap enough to fit into your own pocket, there is still the possibility of flying chicken eggs.
Although Gao Zheng has not played in the reserve team, but his talent has already caused the club's expectations.

Since it was practicing defense, Bruni specifically urged the sparring offense team before the training began, allowing them to try their best to score goals.
Gao Zheng and Icardi are in this offensive lineup.
Although Icardi has proved his super scoring ability with five goals in six reserve games, on the field, the reserve guards are still willing to spend more troops to defend Gao Zheng, not Iraq. Cardi.
So when Gao Zheng took the ball, Icardi was in a good position.
Gao Zheng passed the football without hesitation!
Icardi was a bit surprised by Gao Zheng's passing to himself, but he still caught Gao Zheng's pass and sent the football to the goal.
"Icardi feels so good in front of the door!" Latic said cheerfully.
"The defense missed." Bruni said coldly.
"No way, Gao and Icardi together will always make the back line lose one's sake..." Latic said with a smile.
Bruni glanced at him, and he stopped talking.
Assistant coach Casilio stopped training and pointed out the problems in the defense to the defense line. Many people defended Gao Zheng, but ignored Icardi. He requested that in the following training, the guards on the back line should pay extra attention not to miss people, but to maintain the integrity of the back line.

On the court, Icardi looked at Gao Zheng. Although he scored, he frowned.
He was very dissatisfied because Gao Zheng's pass reminded him of his conversation with Gao Zheng on the motorcycle in the morning.
He thought Gao Zheng was "avoiding war".
You just don’t want to play against me?
What are you running away from?
Are you afraid of losing?
Icardi did not go to Gao Zheng and asked him to understand that he had his own way-if Gao Zheng turned a blind eye to his competition, then he continued to use better performance to make him unable to turn a blind eye, or say nowhere else escape.

"Gao always has to run out and back...I remember he is a center?" Latic asked suddenly after observing for a while.
"I found it too." Bruni nodded. "Maybe it is unwilling to fight with the guard in the penalty area. After all, I have suffered serious injuries, and I will definitely care more about this..."
He stopped suddenly when he said this, because Gao Zheng's performance gave him an inspiration.
Although Gao Zheng has not played in the reserve team, Bruni has been thinking about how Icardi and Gao Zheng will coexist on the court.
What can we do to get two talented centers to be one plus one and more than two, rather than hamstring each other?
After seeing Gao Zheng frequently pulling out and giving Icardi an assist, Bruni was inspired.
He is still a vague idea, and when his ideas are mature, he intends to go to Gao Zheng to have a good chat.
Latic didn't care about Bruni's sudden silence, and continued to say over there: "...I just feel sorry."
"What a pity?" Bruni recovered from a moment of distraction.
Latic said: "High shooting is very good. Although away from the goal allows him to avoid some confrontations, it will also allow him to miss more opportunities to score and inevitably reduce the number of goals. I am for this reason It's a pity."
"Goal..."
※※※
The players in the defensive group also performed very well, keeping the ball for a while without losing the ball.
It was not until Gao Zheng stepped out that he broke the deadlock on the field-after pulling out of the penalty area and receiving a pass from his teammates, he pretended to push the football inwards and shook off the defensive player, but he shot a low shot directly in place .
The football went straight to the far corner of the goal against the turf. Goalkeeper Tozo was blocked by the crowd in the penalty area. Coupled with Gao Dezhen's so decisive and sudden shot, he threw himself sideways and only touched it slightly. Football, but did not change the trajectory of football, the ball still entered the goal.

"Pretty!" Lattic on the sidelines praised Gao Zheng's performance. After he finished, he looked at Bruni. "Isn't there anything wrong with this ball defense? I think the defenders have performed well enough. They stood. Out of position..."
"There is only one person who defends high, which is the biggest problem." Bruni said in a deep voice.
"But Icardi was given a chance because of too many defenders to defend high..."
"The back line has a limited number of people, what about the midfielder?" After speaking, Bruni blew his whistle in his hand, interrupted the training, and walked onto the court.
As he walked, he pointed at the blue team's midfielder and shouted: "What should the midfielder do when defending? Should I watch the show in place! Force it up!"
He strode forward and grabbed Gao Zheng's jersey with one hand.
"Get started! Do you usually defend like a gentleman in the game? Why are you so kind to Gao?!"
Gao Zheng also waved to others: "You don't have to be polite..."
Bruni glared at him, but he was cheeky and smiled at the head coach.
Bruni couldn't help him, just shouted: "Take me up and take training as a game. If you lose three goals in a half game, look at the consequences!"
After talking, he turned and walked off the field.
When he walked back to Ladice, the assistant coach Casilio blew his whistle: "Continue training!"
"You just said that Gao might not want to fight hard, and now you will find someone to fight him hard, Luciano." Latic said.
"In the official game, no one cares whether he is willing to fight physically." Bruni snorted.
