"Will, you've worked with Josep for so long, you should understand modern football very well. In modern football, positions are already very blurred, and traditional fixed positions are becoming less and less popular."

"Yes, so a forward player like him who only shoots will hardly achieve great success. I know you value the market behind him, but he must have enough strength to impress Josep. Even if you are Josep's brother, Josep won't bring him to Manchester City because of you. As things stand, not only will he not be valued by Josep, but he simply doesn't have the capital to gain a foothold in the Premier League!"

"If he were a tall center forward, he would still have a chance, but he should only be about 1.8 meters tall. He will be lost in the Premier League's tall defensive ranks. He has no dribbling or passing skills, so he can't adapt to the current football philosophy." Although Will is just a trainer, he has a deep understanding of modern football, having been influenced by Guardiola's team.

In today's football, positions are blurred, and it's all about total attack and defense, especially in top clubs. A forward who simply scores goals or a defensive midfielder who just intercepts is difficult to establish themselves.

However, in some smaller clubs that don't have good control and mainly play counter-attacking football, a player like Zhao Gang should still be able to establish himself.

"Will, you're right, but according to your theory, have you seen the current situation on the field? For thirty-five minutes, a full thirty-five minutes, Sheffield Wednesday's defenders have been following Zhao. Regardless of whether Zhao is involved in the attack, there is always a defender next to him, and even two other players not far away. Once Zhao has the intention to receive the ball, there will definitely be at least two players double-teaming him!"

"What is Sheffield Wednesday's coach sacrificing their usual defensive tactics for? Think about it, if Sheffield Wednesday's opponent were Manchester City, what price would this defense pay? It won't be long before Sheffield Wednesday's defense has big problems. As long as anyone other than Zhao stands up, Sheffield Wednesday's defense will have big problems!"

Will still shook his head, "You're right, but this is the Championship. In the Premier League, there's no need to mark him so closely! The Premier League has a complete defensive system, where defenders can cover in time, and midfielders can also participate. The defensive tactics and defensive concepts of Championship players are much worse, which is why this Dragon Country (China) young man has scored so many goals!"

"Do you know what's most important? It's holding onto the ball. If a forward player can't hold onto the ball, then his only option is to shoot! This is very easy to target! As long as you block his shooting route, he's useless!"

"Only forward players who can pass the ball can pose a huge threat to the opponent!"

"I don't see any passing ability in him! And his mentality is not good either, he gets anxious when targeted. He's more than 20 meters away from the goal now, and he wants to shoot... whatthef**k..." Will's impatient expression instantly turned into shock.

Amid the ground-shaking celebrations of the entire stadium, Perrin clenched his fists and jumped up excitedly.

Wright's breakthrough on the left threatened the penalty area, causing the defender marking Zhao Gang to subconsciously rush over to cover.

With just a slight moment of relaxation, Wright deftly found Zhao Gang, who was drifting about seven or eight meters from the edge of the penalty area.

With a precise lob pass, and Zhao Gang, who had no run-up or even adjustment time, raised his leg and shot.

The enormous, unreserved power caused the football to draw a strange arc in the air, heading towards the upper left corner, but suddenly veering to the right on its path, causing the goalkeeper to misjudge and could only watch the football hit the goal!

This kind of shooting choice is extremely unreasonable in modern football.

Guardiola's football philosophy does not allow such players to exist.

Because the success rate of such long-range shots is extremely low, and the goalkeeper has enough time to react.

Such shots rarely end an attack.

"That's why a defender needs to follow him, because even if he's not in a dangerous area, he's still within Zhao's shooting range! He only needs one chance to send the ball into the net!" Perrin applauded vigorously.

Although Will was extremely shocked, he still disagreed somewhat. This kind of lucky shot couldn't possibly succeed every time.

He had seen many professional players, and any qualified forward could send the ball into the goal from this distance.

But such a bizarre arc with such unadjusted and powerful force was definitely not the norm.

That goal was a fluke!

A forward who can't pass the ball, can't create opportunities, and is completely outplayed in one-on-one defense can't be used to build tactics around him.

At most, he can only come on as a surprise weapon.

Because he will always be detached from the team's tactical system!

Will continued to observe, and he found that Zhao Gang basically didn't participate in defense. Several times when he did defend, he would be easily broken through. He might have the attitude to defend, but he basically couldn't stop anyone because his interception reaction was too slow. To put it bluntly, his fundamentals were too poor. No one taught him how to properly use his feet to be a qualified defender.

No defense, no interception, no assists, no dropping back to get the ball, how could he adapt to complex tactics?

In Guardiola's system, it would be like having one less person!

And Guardiola has only ever allowed one person to have this privilege in his life, and that is Messi, who he mutually made successful.

He will never allow anyone else to disrupt his system.

Zhao Gang clearly doesn't have this ability.

The first half was coming to an end with injury time almost over, Will finally spoke again, "That shot was beautiful, but it was a fluke. He'll only get one in a hundred, if that, and Josep wouldn't allow this kind of shot, so he won't even get a trial..."

The explosion of cheers from the entire Carrow Road stadium made Will swallow his words.

Perrin raised his hands and celebrated while looking at Will with amusement.

Will sat there with a wry face, spreading his hands.

Almost the same distance, the same position, this time it was Philip from the right wing.

The defender had tried his best to block it, but Zhao Gang's shot was too fast, requiring no adjustment at all.

As long as the ball was delivered, he would just lift his leg and take a powerful shot.

In the first half, there were only two shots, and without exception, they were both unreasonable long-range shots that made the goalkeeper watch the ball and sigh.

"Do you think the Premier League defenders can stop this kind of shot?" Perrin asked curiously.

"If this wasn't a fluke, he wouldn't need to adapt to Manchester City, Manchester City should adapt to him, and even football should adapt to him." Will recalled the two shots, this kind of shooting technique, this kind of shot that gave the defenders no time to react.

Even if only one shot succeeds in a game, it will change the entire situation on the field.

Doesn't defend? He doesn't need to defend either, just stand there and wait for the ball.

With such a person on the field, which team would dare to easily give up defending him?

Even when attacking, they must keep an eye on him at all times.

This is the Championship, but if it were the Premier League, if De Bruyne were his teammate, just him standing there would make the opposing coach frown.
