Chapter 2009 - 525: Huang Hai Makes His Entrance, Tactical Revolution
There’s absolutely no issue with Buffon as the goalkeeper.
Buffon’s ability to distribute the ball is anything but weak, and it has been further enhanced under Guardiola’s management.
Last season, Buffon was criticized for his lack of movement, so it’s a good idea to assign him more responsibilities and expand his area of coverage.
With Buffon’s experience, he should be able to balance well when to stand in front of the goal and when to position himself inside the Big Penalty Area.
The most crucial thing is that Buffon can maintain high-level performance for a considerable amount of time.
A stable goalkeeper is also immensely beneficial for defensive communication.
It’s somewhat challenging to select the three defenders.
Huang Kaiwen is unsure if Godin can adapt to the three defenders’ formation.
Thiago Silva or Ramos could take the position next to the defensive midfielder, and they could drop back to form a four-defender backline during defense.
The trio of central defenders would likely be Zambrotta, Nesta, and Thiago Silva, or Zambrotta might be replaced by Ramos.
If Ramos isn’t playing as a defender, he would partner with Van Bommel or Rakitic in the midfield.
If he plays as a defender, Van Bommel’s partner could be replaced by Lars Bender, who can play both as a defensive midfielder and a right-back.
Van Bommel may not be the best in technique among Dutch players, but he is versatile, capable of driving the ball forward and passing with some skill, and his long passes are notably accurate.
Most importantly, he has defensive capabilities.
Now comes the arrangement of the five-player offensive line.
Among Milan’s four strikers, van Persie is certainly the most complete.
He is the most suitable choice to play as the lone forward.
Ibrahimovic’s ability to engage in physical battles is also improving.
In contrast, Torres’s skills are the most one-dimensional.
Previously, due to the lack of wingers, whenever the Yellow Ball King was absent, Torres or Kaka would fill in as the left wing.
But with Hazard present, there’s no need to waste so much effort.
Deciding the combination of the offensive line is somewhat difficult, so Huang Kaiwen decides to discuss it with Old Maldini.
Huang Kaiwen spent September busy in the study.
Welcoming the refresh of the shop in the new month.
Special template: [Sanguo Fujimoto] 1,000,000 fate value,
Templates: [Paul van Himst] 10,000 points, [Jan Ceulemans] 10,000 points, [Enzo Scifo] 10,000 points,
Skills: [Low Defense Proficiency] 10,000 points, [Inside Cut Proficiency] 2,500 points, [Cycling Proficiency] 100 points,
Items: [24-hour Immunity Card] 20 points.
There are no special items in this round.
However, the special template left Huang Kaiwen not knowing how to react.
[Sanguo Fujimoto] is the foolish son of a landlord; there’s nothing particularly special about him aside from his superpowers.
As for the next three player templates, they all come from Belgium.
Paul van Himst is considered Belgium’s first sports star, and at that time, it was quite rare for someone to join the first team at 16. Real Madrid once considered him Di Stefano’s successor, but van Himst didn’t want to leave his hometown.
Before the Bosque Act, many countries’ top-tier teams truly had sports stars.
Seeing nothing too special, Huang Kaiwen spent 120 points to purchase the [Immunity Card] and [Cycling Proficiency].
Skill: Cycling Proficiency - allows your cycling skills to reach the professional average level, considerably increasing the frequency of your legs.
Increase leg frequency!
This is an exceptionally useful enhancement for Huang Kaiwen.
The importance of step frequency on the football pitch needs no further explanation.
It’s also an outstanding skill on the athletics track.
Huang Kaiwen finally fell asleep contentedly.
The next morning, Ramos came to pick up Huang Kaiwen.
As soon as they arrived at Milanello’s entrance, they saw the journalists outside the training base.
Ramos simply floored the accelerator, charging straight through.
Huang Kaiwen laughed and said, "When journalists see you driving, they don’t dare to stop you. Ricardo wouldn’t have such an easy time getting away."
"Whether they’re interested in your children or the new acting coach, I’m not fond of it."
Ramos commented with a pout.
Huang Kaiwen hardly discusses his personal life in the media.
Now, the journalists’ attention has begun to disrupt him.
Ramos couldn’t actually hit a journalist, but he still needed to express his displeasure in his own way.
"I’ll head to the office; you go to the training ground first."
Huang Kaiwen got out of the car and saw Old Maldini’s Fiat, saying.
He walked toward the office building, noting the coach’s office already had its lights on.
Knock knock—
"Come in!"
Huang Kaiwen pushed the door open.
Cesare Maldini saw Huang Kaiwen and, without surprise, pointed to the sofa, "Sit yourself down; there’s no need for politeness between us."
Huang Kaiwen pulled a notebook from his bag and handed it to Old Maldini.
Old Maldini took it, adjusted his glasses, and said with a smile, "I need reading glasses now; that’s just the change time brings. You actually don’t need to discuss it with me; I’m just an old relic discarded by time."
Nonetheless, he kept flipping through the notebook.
Huang Kaiwen smiled and shook his head.
Even if Old Maldini says that, he certainly wouldn’t rest easy.
His life revolves around family and football.
The only things he can’t let go of now are Milan and the Maldini family.
As he kept turning the pages, Old Maldini’s expression was changing.
Huang Kaiwen sat quietly on the sofa.
After roughly half an hour, Cesare Maldini placed Huang Kaiwen’s notebook to the side, looked surprised, and asked, "Did you come up with all this yourself?"
"Yes, I started the coaching courses quite some time ago."
Huang Kaiwen replied with a smile, "Throughout the lengthy period in the past, I’ve been contemplating tactical issues, and this is my attempt; moving forward, I’ll keep improving."
