Chapter 2304 - 586: Exorcise Evil, Defend the Dao—Today Is the Day

Chapter 2304: Chapter 586: Exorcise Evil, Defend the Dao—Today Is the Day

The England team and Spain are not the same.

With such a low-level defense, England really can’t pass the ball back and forth in front of the box like Spain to pull defenders and find gaps.

They basically have to play after a few presses.

This isn’t much of an issue.

Huang Kaiwen watched the field with his hands in his pockets.

In the last match against Greece, he considered this aspect.

Constant defense must be mentally frustrating for the players.

Seizing the opportunity to bully Greece, a soft target, is also a form of relief.

To allow the players to adjust their mindset.

The opponent is England, and even if it’s Italy, today’s tactics wouldn’t change.

Only when facing Spain would Huang Kaiwen use other tactics.

Spain and Barca have similar tactical styles; parking the bus isn’t very effective, and you must think of other ways.

The match was relatively dull.

The director frequently cut to the stands.

At Warsaw National Stadium, aside from the two nations’ legendary figures, the presence of the two royal families was most striking.

With the development of the internet,

royalty has less and less privacy; everything is spotlighted.

Plus, there’s always talk of abolishing royalty.

Therefore, European royals are keen to expand their influence on such occasions.

Representing the British Royal Family was once again William and the frequently seen "Cousin Princess" Miss Spencer at football matches.

William asked, covering his mouth, "Which side do you think has a better chance of winning today?"

He only started noticing this after watching Huang Kaiwen’s matches.

"Of course, the Netherlands."

Miss Spencer said.

"But we should support England."

"But the opponent is Kevin!"

Even though Huang Kaiwen isn’t a player, there’s still a significant belief that he can maintain his undefeated myth.

On the field, England had a slight edge in terms of control.

However, they did not actually threaten the Netherlands team’s goal.

During one counter-attack,

van Persie received the ball on the left, cut in, and performed a one-two with Huntelaar but failed to get past Cahill; he immediately lobbed the ball to the other side.

Terry bent down and headed the ball out of the box.

Huang Kaiwen shouted to the field, "Try to play on the ground; reduce aerial play in the middle today."

Terry and Cahill’s partnership has unquestionable aerial defensive capability.

Their height and weight are evident.

Even though Huntelaar’s physical ability is good, it depends on the comparison.

Terry’s shoulder width is truly intimidating.

He’s a defender with very obvious pros and cons, but as a typical English traditional defender, Terry has reached the top level in defense.

His weaknesses are limited passing skills and not being quick on the turn.

But playing an aerial game over Terry’s head is indeed challenging.

Previously, Huang Kaiwen asked them to target behind Cahill.

Cahill’s turn is significantly slower than Terry’s, so as long as protection is slightly lacking, opportunities can be found from this point.

"Mauro hasn’t returned yet, should I go and check?"

Gattuso walked to the sideline and asked.

"Forget it, don’t disturb him."

Huang Kaiwen said.

Tassotti learned a lot of mysticism with Ancelotti.

It’s easy to cause trouble if you don’t understand it.

Gattuso recalled the situation when Ancelotti was in Milan, and how the players were genuinely tormented.

Capello turned his head to the Netherlands’ coaching seat.

When he coached Huang Kaiwen, he noticed Huang Kaiwen had a strong match-reading ability.

Since then, he felt Huang Kaiwen would become a good coach after retirement.

But Capello didn’t expect Huang Kaiwen to cause him trouble from the coaching bench so soon.

Chain defense has some drawbacks.

Capello knew this during his playing days.

But today the Netherlands’ chained defense was very flexible.

They weren’t in a horizontal formation.

But a non-symmetrical classic chained defense from Sacchi!

Asymmetry definitely emphasizes one end.

And the Netherlands targeted the individually stronger Walcott, while Kuyt marked Ashley Young, who lacked shooting desire, and Gerrard behind him.

Huang Kaiwen almost replicated Italy’s 1982 World Cup-winning system!

So it seemed like the Netherlands’ tactical system hadn’t changed.

But in reality, it was ever-changing.

Huang Kaiwen adjusted the tactics for each match based on the opponent’s player characteristics.

Capello was quite impressed with Huang Kaiwen’s adaptability.

Of all the coaches he met in his career, Huang Kaiwen excelled in this area.

"Fabio, the Poles told us they’ve discovered something."

Galbiati approached and said.

"What is it?"

Capello asked.

"They found Mauro Tassotti using witchcraft in the bathroom!"

Galbiati said.

"Ha, supernatural nonsense."

Capello scoffed, saying, "Tell the Poles to confiscate his items."

Before coming, the FA had arranged communication with the Poles.

"I know."

Galbiati said.

"Right, if he doesn’t return to the field, make sure someone follows him." Capello added.

Ancelotti is full of cunning, and his assistant coach isn’t any better.
