My uncle is Inzaghi

Chapter 52: Fierce Competition for Chief Wingman

"Li Mo!! He helped Arsenal score a golden goal! Arsenal equalized the score!"

Schmitz, the commentator of Germany's Sports Channel, said with a frown.

"Li Mo's movement was very sharp. He almost started at the best time, found the best route, and scored this single goal in the calmest way!"

"Before this, judging from the news from England, Li Mo was said to be a very mature player. He has a maturity that does not match his age. Now it seems that such rumors may not be true. Exaggerated!”

Schmitz is a well-known tactical analyst in German football circles.

Before he switched to being a commentator, he served as a tactical coach for Bundesliga teams such as Hamburg for a long time.

so.

This is an insider.

Maybe in the eyes of many fans.

Li Mo's calm shots are not as entertaining as his explosive long-range shots, his powerful headers, his continuous passes and then the empty goal.

But for the coaches.

They don't care about viewing.

They only care about scoring goals.

Score goals in the most efficient way! !

Li Mo is undoubtedly the kind of forward that every head coach wants.

He is the most ruthless killer in the penalty area.

As long as there is a chance.

He can steadily send the ball into the goal.

Compared to the kind of player who blasts a dozen or twenty shots in a game and takes up more than 70 to 80% of the team's opportunity resources, but can also score goals.

Forwards like Li Mo, who are relatively less demanding of the team's tactical resources, are simply a breath of fresh air.

"He might be a good fit for many teams in the Bundesliga."

Kahn, the commentator of Sports 1 and the former double captain of the German team and Bayern Munich, said.

"For example, Bayern?"

Schmitz joked.

Kahn laughed.

"Maybe we really lack such a player."

"So... can he break the goal you're holding?"

Kahn blinked when he heard this: "I won't answer this question."

"What? The mighty Lion King Kahn doesn't even dare to say that he can seal Li Mo's single-handed goal?"

Kahn shook his head: "I'm not a god. How can there be a possibility of sealing a single goal? What's more."

Kahn looked toward the court.

"This little guy is the most calm forward I have seen among young players in handling one-on-one balls in recent years!"

"I really want to meet him." Kahn retracted his gaze: "To be honest, I really don't have much confidence."

Schmitz was shocked.

He didn't expect that.

Kahn actually gave Li Mo such a high evaluation.

The banter between the two made many Schalke 04 fans who were watching the game on TV very unhappy.

You, Kahn, are a Bayern star and don't care about Schalke 04's life and death.

You Schmitz is a German commentator.

He was laughing after the German team lost the ball.

What a system.

What's your position?

Schalke 04 fans in front of the TV angrily criticized Sports Channel for being too biased towards Bayern and ignoring the positions of other Bundesliga teams.

The Schalke 04 fans who were proud to attend the Schalke Stadium finally reacted and suppressed the visiting team fans with boos.

Courtside.

Wenger and his assistants rushed to the sidelines to celebrate.

Wenger began to think about the whole process of the goal just now.

The confrontation, high-point control, and the passing and receiving of the midfielder that Giroud provided in this process all made Wenger's eyes shine.

Especially when Giroud retreats, he can provide confrontation capabilities that neither Cazorla nor Wilshere can provide.

This allowed Wenger to see more tactical possibilities.

He turned to his assistant Bald and said: "Olivier's effect after retreating was pretty good. I didn't expect that he is not very good at scoring goals, but his ability to support is very good."

“Excellent!”

Balder nodded in agreement with Wenger.

"So maybe we can just give him a wider range of activities, and he can completely drop back to the midfield for activities." Wenger said.

"This reminds me of Fellaini." Bald said a name.

Everton's Belgian midfielder Fellaini.

Invincible header, invincible high point control.

There's defense, there's also a passing kick.

Maybe Giroud is a weaker defensive version and a stronger passing version of Fellaini?

Wenger stood on the sidelines with his arms folded, lost in thought.

After Diaby was injured.

The team is indeed making a series of tactical attempts - because there is a defensive hole in the defensive midfielder position, they have to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and the entire system is paralyzed by more than half.

For example, in order to cover Li Mo, the team hopes to play double centers.

And if it is a double center, it will appear weak in the midfield.

Either there is a shortage of people in the front midfielder position, or there is a shortage of people in the defensive midfielder position.

Anyway.

There seems to be loopholes everywhere.

But now that Giroud has taken the initiative to expand his range of activities, Wenger sees another possibility - Giroud taking on part of the front midfielder's work?

Giroud's passing skills are quite good.

From this point of view.

It seems that this idea is feasible.

Think of this.

Wenger called Giroud to his side as he was walking back after celebrating.

"Olivier, you did a great job!"

Wenger said.

Jirou was delighted.

What you did is correct.

The head coach really values ​​​​how to use Li Mo's ability to seize opportunities, so he needs someone to take on more confrontation and support work.

in this regard.

I can definitely do better than Walcott! !

That is to say.

Compete for position yourself.

Already slightly one position ahead.

"So, keep playing like this. In addition, your range of movement can be wider, and at the same time, Li's position can be pushed closer to the front!"

Wenger's fist suddenly hit his palm.

There was a clear snap.

"We need goals! We need goals from Lee! We need two more!!"

"clear!"

Giroud said loudly.

Walcott on the bench frowned.

he knows.

Once again, I was at a disadvantage in the competition.

before this.

His competitor is Li Mo.

The two are competing for the role of "team goal scorer".

In this competition, Walcott surrendered.

So the next thing he has to compete for is the role of "Li Mo's wingman".

He had some upper hand.

Because he can move on the wing, he can provide the team with more formation changes and options.

but now.

Giroud showed his own abilities and characteristics.

Confrontation, high ball, support.

These are Giroud's strengths.

"Olivier's passing was really good."

"He and Li still have a good understanding."

"It seems like it would be really nice to train together."

There was a lot of chatter among the substitute players on the bench.

Walcott's heart moved.

tacit agreement? !

right!

tacit agreement! !

I also need to cultivate a tacit understanding with Li.

I am Li's chief wingman! !

Walcott thought.
