Chapter 985 Controlling the Dressing Room

Even though the reporters are on the sidelines, they can still feel the ease of the training base.

Giggs did not strictly guard against the media like Van Gaal. On the contrary, his attitude towards training was as easy-going as the effect he showed in front of the players. He was not worried about any tactical leaks. Since the media wanted to see it, He made it easy for everyone to see.

Giggs has just taken over, and these days training is almost a day of changing a formation. Van Gaal's dismissal has proved that his three-central defender system is actually a failure, whether it is Smalling, Evans, or even Rojo , In the absence of sufficient protection from the midfield, they do not have the ability to defend one-on-one.

The new formation is still in the experimental stage, and the specific effect still needs to pass the test of the league. To be honest, although the current situation, although the coaching change shows the determination of Manchester United's top brass, the pressure is not ordinary for the new takeover Ryan Giggs big.

Giggs' style is completely different from Van Gaal's, perhaps because he is a young coach, and he was also a top all-around player on the wing in the player era in Europe, which is different from Van Gaal's talkative.Giggs is a hard worker, how hard is he?
At least during the training, many reporters saw that Giggs was even in the middle of the court. If any player's movements did not meet his requirements, Giggs would stop and take a ball to demonstrate with his own hands, or even practice in pairs.Especially for the offense and defense on the wing, Luke Shaw and Ashley Young are the key targets.

The reporters only thought that Giggs' approach was very fresh, but they didn't think it was strange. Giggs has this skill. During his first acting coach last season, he even replaced players on his own. .

If you can do it, go ahead, if you can't, don't bb?

I don't bb, you come down, I go up and I go up!

The reporters even ridiculed that this winter window, Manchester United does not need to reinforce the wing, and only needs to report the name of Giggs.

Giggs pays attention to the details very carefully and prominently. Zhou Tiancheng returns, he does not need to worry about the middle, and it is understandable to hold Luke Shaw and Ashley Young's side tightly.As a top wing player, he will never allow the wing to become an obvious dead spot.Especially Ashley Young's right, but there is good news for Giggs.Rafael, the team's only authentic right back, will return to the court within a week, and the right-sided defense that was repeatedly blown up in the first half may be greatly relieved.

The atmosphere on the court is obviously much more active. Perhaps it is rare to see the head coach take the ball on the field to demonstrate. Zhou Tiancheng even suspects that Rooney is doing it on purpose. Two strokes with former teammates.

As for Zhou Tiancheng, he has always satisfied Giggs.In the first training session, Giggs was standing on the sidelines, observing Zhou Tiancheng carefully.Now Giggs looks at Zhou Tiancheng from a different perspective. He has been thinking about how Zhou Tiancheng can really fit in with this team. Both offensive and defensive ends allow him to calmly connect the whole team and ensure smooth operation on the field. , instead of like Van Gaal, it seems that Zhou Tiancheng is amazing every game, but once he has something, just like this time, the team will follow the roller coaster.

This is not the Manchester United that Giggs knew. The Red Devils have many superstars, but they should never be a one-man team.

After the training, Giggs kept several players: De Gea, Smalling, Van Persie, Rooney, and of course Zhou Tiancheng.

Several people thought that staying here was to practice alone again, but they didn't know that was not the case at all. Giggs was talking about something else.

"You all know that the years I played for Manchester United as a player were Sir Alex Ferguson's era, but what you don't know is that in private, Sir Alex Ferguson would never enter the dressing room, let alone treat us, except for necessary tactics. Everything in between. This is a unique tradition of Manchester United. Five of the best players are enough to control the dressing room and ensure smooth operation. Of course Wayne is clear about this." Giggs finished Looking at Rooney: "He was also one of these five people at the time."

Just after Giggs finished speaking, the eyes of De Gea, Smalling and Van Persie suddenly lit up.There is no need to say more, everyone understands.This means that everyone in the locker room will not need to listen to a lot of nonsense from the head coach and give orders boringly, but will have their own right to speak.

Who wouldn't want a dressing room with a more liberating environment?

Only Rooney and Zhou Tiancheng did not talk. Rooney experienced that period, and he was one of the talkers in the dressing room during the Ferguson era, so he just thought it was very interesting.Zhou Tiancheng heard Rooney mention it, so he was not very surprised.Unsurprisingly, he would definitely have a lot of power to speak.

Giggs really called him alone to communicate.

"Zhou, you heard what I said just now, what, are you surprised?"

Giggs originally thought that if Zhou Tiancheng didn't talk about surprises, at least he would feel very fresh... Apart from Manchester United, I am afraid that few teams have done this before. The rich teams often have famous coaches as standard, so the richer the team, the more emphasis on players Big-name coaches often don't like to arrange positive and negative arrangements for themselves, especially assertive players.Although he did not say that he set a precedent for Manchester United, he gave players an unprecedented degree of freedom.

In the end, he saw that Zhou Tiancheng just smiled and spread his hands: "Well, Ryan, do you want to hear the truth? Hehe, I'm actually not very surprised."

Giggs was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Zhou Tiancheng to react like this.

Zhou Tiancheng was actually not particularly excited, even if Rooney told him for the first time that Manchester United had done this before, he really responded in a joking tone.When the two devil coaches Magath and Klopp were coaching, he had a decisive voice in the locker room, so naturally he would not be particularly excited.

On the contrary, he looked back at Rooney warily. This guy...wouldn't be relying on his seniority to interject indiscriminately when he was talking.

Giggs noticed Zhou Tiancheng's look, but he didn't go into the deep meaning of it. He got up and patted Zhou Tiancheng's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Zhou, you understand this time, except for necessary situations, such as Tactics, other times I don't get too involved in the locker room. You want me to beat you guys like Luis, I can do it, but I don't like it. I think you are right here, everyone They obey you on the field, and they listen to you even more when you talk about it.”

Zhou Tiancheng stared at him seriously: "Ruen, you are so bold, aren't you afraid that I will make you stand up?"

Giggs laughed out loud: "If you want, I can give you this position, do you think it is very comfortable? But do you have a UEFA level [-] coaching certificate?"

Zhou Tiancheng didn't bother with this issue too much, and turned his head to look at Rooney: "It's more appropriate to leave this matter to Xiaopang, and I'm not the captain."

"Our locker room needs young, energetic and responsible leaders. Besides, you want to be the captain? That's not easy, do you think I haven't noticed? Wayne is willing to listen to you."

Giggs spread his hands, as if he had made up his mind to throw this burden on Zhou Tiancheng.
