Cassel has spent more than 20 years in United's academy and is Eric Harrison's right-hand man, so he knows the tactical core of Manchester United.

As the main central defender, Bruce has played for Manchester United for 9 years, is the most powerful witness of Manchester United's Ferguson era, and is also a first-hand experience of Manchester United's step by step to the peak of glory, and he also has his own understanding and knowledge of Manchester United's tactical system.

It was these two men who knew a lot about Manchester United's tactics that caused a fierce conflict over the new Manchester United's tactical system.

Almost from his first day at the new Manchester United, Kassel began to pick on Bruce's team tactics, and the two would have a big discussion from time to time.

For this kind of scene, Xiao Yu and others are used to it!

"I always believe that running without the ball is the core of a team's tactical construction, as long as the three aspects of running without the ball, passing, and receiving the ball are combined, this will definitely make the team's tactics more fluid and aggressive, whether it is defense or offense!" Kassel was stubborn in his opinion.

In fact, his views are in the same vein as those of Eric Harrison.

"Yes, yes, but if you look at our players, the passing efficiency can't be compared to that of a professional player, even if it's Darren Lyons, who has the best pass, can he pass the ball to the feet of the running target every time, or in front, so that the opponent can still do the action without being hindered under the premise of receiving the ball comfortably?"

Bruce seemed more agitated than Cassel.

"Come on, Jim, this is an amateur league, in my opinion, even if you give Lyons a hundred chances, he may not be able to pass, that is, 60 transmissions in place, then think about it, the best passing Lyons is like this, what about the others?"

"I don't deny your point of view, Steve, you're the head coach of the team and you have a lot of say in that, but that doesn't mean I agree with your emphasis on tackling and ignoring running off the ball and passing-and-receiving coordination." Kassel is as unwavering as ever.

"Jim, no one takes running off the ball and passing and receiving the ball lightly!"

"But that's how you play, what do you think of our team in the newspapers and the fans? Crazy scramble, oh my God, do you want to deny it? ”

"That's because we don't have that foundation in the team, you know, Jim, whether it's passing, dribbling, possession, it's all talent, it's just that the talent required is different, like Michael Johnson, the first time I saw him, I was attracted to his possession and passing, I think he's very talented in that, but if you look at the team we have now, do you think there's someone like Michael Johnson?"

"Listen to me, Steve, don't get excited, I'm not criticizing your team, on the contrary, I agree with your team building, at least we're at the top of the Northwest Division 2 table, 14 points ahead of second place, what an amazing advantage, but it doesn't mean that your team's tactics are reasonably balanced."

"How long have they been arguing this time?" Xiao Yu sat aside and asked Walsh beside him.

Since Bruce and Cassel's desks were back-to-back, the arguments between the two became face-to-face, and on both desks, there was a mess of training artwork, as well as team tactical artwork, etc.

Due to his lack of professional knowledge, Xiao Yu knew little about the content of these drawings, and could only comprehend them somewhat when he occasionally heard them talk.

Xiao Yu, who used to be a fan, felt that it was not difficult to be a professional coach, arrange tactics, such as 442, 433 and other positions, and then arrange them according to the positions of different players, strikers play forwards, defenders play defenders or something, and then it is training, let them train according to the requirements of different positions, practice the so-called tactics, and then they can play.

But in reality, the head coach is not so easy to be.

At least Xiao Yu knew that just the running position of the four players in the midfield, Kassel drew nearly a hundred artworks, and at the same time, there are different arrangements and arrangements according to the strengths of different players, for example, some players are left-footed, and the ball passed to him should pay attention to this, so when arranging the surname, the arrangement should be different from the right-footed general.

In addition, there is the defensive organization of the defenders, the difference between the single back and the double back is huge, and the difference in the forward strength of the two fullbacks also directly affects the construction of the entire defensive system, etc., which are very professional domain knowledge.

As a fan, Xiao Yu is a senior, but he can't understand these at all, seeing those drawings of Kassel, he is like reading a book from heaven, this is the gap between professional coaches and fans.

In the early stage of crossing over, Xiao Yu also thought about whether to be a head coach himself, but then he completely dispelled this idea, because he knew that he was not this material at all.

In this world, the tactics of any team are very cumbersome, which is why it took Ferguson more than ten years to lead Manchester United to the top, and Cruyff's philosophy took more than ten years to be integrated by Barcelona.

And now, Xiao Yu just hopes that Kassel and Bruce can develop a tactical system for the team that can be in the same vein as the youth team, and then the team will go all the way towards this tactical system!

Learn Manchester United today, learn Arsenal tomorrow, learn Barcelona the day after tomorrow, learn Real Madrid the day after tomorrow, such a team will never have a successful day, even Xiao Yu, as a fan, knows it very clearly!

"It's been almost two hours!" Walsh replied with a smile.

"That's almost over!" Xiao Yu said with a smile that Xiao Yu didn't feel anything bad about their argument, at least it would make it easier for the two sides of the quarrel to absorb each other's ideas.

Besides, Steve the Bruce is undoubtedly brilliant as a player, but as a coach, he is only just getting started, and he is still lacking in many aspects, after all, players and coaches are two completely different fields.

"That's right, Xiao Yu, the day after tomorrow Christmas, the team will have a holiday from tomorrow, and then you can come to my house to spend it with us!" Walsh proposed.

"Christmas?" Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to his senses, it turned out that it was already Christmas before he knew it, "It's still not possible, I'll find some shows by myself then!" ”

The Walsh family of three is so happy that they become light bulbs when they get involved, and besides, Westerners are very focused on Christmas, so why bother with people when they are alone?

Speaking of loneliness, Xiao Yu immediately remembered Curtis and Evra, and it seemed that he was looking for an opportunity to ask these two boys if there was any program for Christmas.

As for Messi, Jorge has already moved from Argentina with his family a few days ago, and Xiao Yu has already asked people to help them find a house before, so they can live as soon as they come, and I am afraid that they will have a family for Christmas at that time.

It's just me, alone, so lonely! Xiao Yu was secretly depressed in his heart.

"Show? What can you show? Walsh scolded with a smile, "But seriously, Xiao Yu, I think you should find a girlfriend and start a family!" Walsh knew Xiao Yu's situation.

Since the death of his parents, Xiao Yu has lived alone, maybe there is nothing in peacetime, but once it comes to the festival, when everyone else is reunited, he will definitely feel lonely.

"No suitable person!" Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head.

"I think that female reporter is good!" Bruce didn't know when he had reached a preliminary agreement with Kassel, and walked over with a smile, "You guys were arguing a lot before, but I think she seems to have surrendered to you lately." ”

Walsh also nodded vigorously on the side, obviously supporting Xiao Yu!

Xiao Yu suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I can't stand that kind of woman!" ”

"Then if you don't come to my house, my son is talking all day long about seeing you!" Bruce laughed.

"Don't want it, you don't have to worry about me, I'll definitely find some shows for myself when the time comes, it's really not good, I'll go upstairs and have a big fight with that woman, anyway, I'm having a feud with her, I'm not happy, and she doesn't want to be happy!" Xiao Yu smiled exaggeratedly.

Everyone immediately burst out laughing when they heard this, but they were very sure in their hearts that Xiao Yu was definitely not someone who would do such a thing.

"By the way, Steve, Jim, how did you talk about today?" Xiao Yu hurriedly changed the topic.

Cassel looked at Bruce, who shrugged his shoulders and pretended not to care, so he smiled: "I won for the time being, and in the future, the training of the academy will be under my control, he can't interfere, and the first team will also follow my proposal to add more off-ball running and passing and receiving training as appropriate." ”

"Will that make a difference to the team?" Xiao Yu is most concerned about upgrades.

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention to control when the time comes, I plan to practice in the league, you know, we have a big advantage in the league now, and we're already 14 points ahead in just 18 rounds, so we can look at this change with a relaxed mind!" Bruce wasn't worried at all.

In addition to the league, the new Manchester United also won all the way to the FA Cup qualifying knockout stage to reach the first round of the main competition, this time they were lucky, avoiding the national league and the professional teams of League Two and League C, and the draw was against Forest of Glen from the South Anglo-African League, which is also a long-established team, but the league results have not been high, and it is currently their best result in history.

While the Premier League has the tightest schedule for Christmas, in the amateur league there is a one-week break on Christmas before a league game is played before hosting Forest Glen.

As the opponent is from a higher league than him, Bruce is also very interested in this game, and if he wins, he will enter the second round of the FA Cup, where he will meet a team from the professional league.

And if they can continue to make it past the second round, the third round will start to see teams from League One and the Premier League.

Although Bruce didn't say it, Xiao Yu is also very clear that his goal is the third round, and he hopes to meet a team in League One or the Premier League, of course, it may not be Manchester United as expected by fans or media!
