Chapter 591 Hard Training

After the Fiorentina game, of course Juventus will not rest, but continue to train. This time, they have closed training for two days. In normal training, there will always be media coming, and from time to time they will be open to fans, but this time Conte is determined to engage in closed training.

In fact, many head coaches know what tricks Conte can play. Conte did not say that he has any special tactical purpose. He is just deliberately creating a tense atmosphere for the players and urging them to tighten their nerves. .

The match against Fiorentina is completely different from the match against AC Milan. He can confidently say that the team defeated Milan in the match against AC Milan, but no matter how good the statistics are in the match against Fiorentina, it cannot conceal that Juventus actually played against Milan. It was very difficult.

AC Milan has another situation with AC Milan. Their players were obviously in poor physical condition in that game. After a game, they ran nearly [-] meters less than Juventus. [-] meters is the running distance of a midfielder, which is quite For Juventus, there was one more player playing that game.

Against Fiorentina, Juventus was on par with their opponents, and their opponents' running distance was no worse than them.

It was quite difficult for Juventus to win. In the second half, the team couldn't control the ball under the opponent's relentless running and pressing. Conte made some adjustments to Juventus in the short time when the national derby came. The training is to allow Juventus to continue to maintain possession of the ball under strong pressure in the upcoming game.

Running position is a very important thing. Zhang Yuan played as a center forward before. He thought his running was excellent, but now Conte told him that you are not good enough, you are far behind, and you need constant contact.

In La Liga, Zhang Yuan also belongs to the kind of ball-handling player who needs the support of his teammates to move. His moves are relatively simple. In fact, his biggest reliance is his quick start. Even if many defenders know it, they can Difficult to follow him.

In the Bundesliga, Zhang Yuan is called a center forward, and his job is to hold the ball. Moreover, the defenders in the Bundesliga are generally tall and big, and their turning speed is slow. Zhang Yuan still has a certain advantage in turning.

In Serie A, because of the relatively strong sense of defensive hierarchy, the defenders of many teams do not win with high heights. In the dense space, Zhang Yuan's running disadvantage came out.

But Zhang Yuan is always scoring goals. He doesn’t think there is a problem, but Conte patiently analyzed and explained to him why Juventus had problems controlling the ball in the last game. The reason is that the ball is difficult to get to Zhang Yuan’s feet. Many coaches pay special attention to research and research on opponent players, not to mention that Mikhailovich is so familiar with Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan can improve in a short period of time, but it doesn't really improve to the point where he has reached the peak of his running position.

"Don't force a breakthrough!"

"Pass the ball! Damn it!"

"Go around!"

"Keep your distance!"

"Two people go back!"

Conte shouted hoarsely on the training ground. Juventus has some problems. I don’t know why such problems have appeared recently. Pirlo retreated to get the ball, and other midfielders were standing near the center circle. Waiting for Pirlo to play the ball, the players may think that a triangle has been formed between Pirlo and the two central defenders, and they can completely pass back to get rid of the opponent's pressure.

But Conte doesn't think so. Fiorentina's overall formation is pressing up in the last game, and the backcourt is very dangerous. At this time, the midfielders should move closer to Pirlo, form a pass and cut cooperation with Pirlo, and try to avoid Pirlo and defenders. are continuously passed between.

Pirlo has defensive awareness and defensive courage, but he is a midfielder after all, and his defensive skills and physical strength are not dominant.

Once the two midfielders are too far away from him and don't pay attention to protection, and Pirlo misses the ball, the consequences will be very serious.

Conte also asked Zhang Yuan not to choose too many forced breakthroughs. He did not prevent Zhang Yuan from breaking through, but it depends on the time, place and occasion. Some teammates have already provided support, and they should use cooperation to tear apart the opponent's defense line instead of breaking through. , Sometimes the support of teammates is not in place, and the opponent's defensive strength is empty, Zhang Yuan should make a bold breakthrough.

In terms of every training detail, Conte sometimes even said to Zhang Yuan: "The direction you broke through just now is unscientific!"

Zhang Yuan's previous breakthrough basically had only one principle, the closer to the goal the better, but Conte told him that you are wrong to think so.

Later he said: "Oh, I can't be wrong! It should be said that such a choice can also score points!"

"As the head coach, I must talk about my views from the perspective that is beneficial to the team! What is the purpose of the breakthrough?!"

"Tear open the opponent's line of defense! Look for shooting opportunities!" Zhang Yuan replied after thinking about it.

"This is only part of it. The breakthrough also has the function of containment and attraction! At this time, the direction of your breakthrough is very important!" Conte said with his hands, can this thing be drawn? !
Are the two different? !Zhang Yuan is very strange, it sounds like everyone is talking about the same thing!
"Frontcourt attack, the purpose of your breakthrough is not only to create opportunities for your teammates, but also to create opportunities for yourself to shoot. Sometimes you don't have to create opportunities! You can use breakthroughs to attract defense and increase the opponent's attention to you , reduce the pressure on other teammates, disrupt their defensive formation, and then you pass to your teammates, and let your teammates seize the opponent's gap!"

"What is your purpose?! You serve the team, scoring is only one aspect! Attracting pressure for teammates is also part of your job, don't be too obsessed with scoring or assisting! This is not good for you! Oh, you want If you don’t want to do more for others, how can others be willing to do more for you?!”

"Oh, I'm sorry! It's getting too far! Actually, you are not such a person!" Conte grinned, "I was just a small reminder! Your kid's breakthrough seems to be to seek a chance to shoot!"

Zhang Yuan didn't mind, this was a relatively private conversation on the training ground, and Conte also said that he was not criticizing, but just a kind reminder!
He thought about his past, and it seemed to be like this. The purpose of breakthroughs is often to shoot for himself and assist himself. Many times, he passed it to his teammates after being killed. Conte believes that he should distinguish the timing clearly and make a breakthrough. The goal of this is a correct view.

Conte didn’t just make a fuss about Zhang Yuan alone. He would point out almost every player in the team, saying what you should do and how to handle the ball. Maybe it’s because he is also a player. What do most players think about him? Basically, it can be clear, and it is easier for people to accept the guidance.

Juventus's current results are not particularly good, but they have not lost a game yet. This may have a lot to do with Conte's kneading of the team.

In the past, everyone was in awe. After all, this is the old captain, and the bosses in the team all support him. People like Pirlo haven’t been with him for long, and they think Conte is not bad in private, let alone his old man. Teammates Buffon and Del Piero.

Buffon and other goalkeepers don’t need Conte to point out their goalkeeping skills, but Conte will also say that Juventus’s style of play has changed significantly this season. There is no high-altitude fulcrum in the frontcourt, and the team mainly passes on the ground. Mainly, long passes are generally played in obvious gaps, and they will not go hard to the middle.

So the goalkeeper should try to avoid kicking the ball as much as possible. The number of times Buffon and others touched the ball this season has also increased significantly. Conte asked them to use the ground ball from the backcourt. Of course, this also depends on the situation. Some teams If you are desperately forced, you can only drive to the frontcourt with a big foot.

In every game, there may be a stage where the goalkeeper has to open his feet, but most of the time, Serie A teams rarely press too high to force opponents to open their feet, because this is a double-edged sword, there is no such high position The level of pressing should not be too high. The high-altitude ball is not guaranteed to be missed by short people.

Conte is still a little too eager to change the status quo of the team. After an exhausting game, although there is only one practice a day, the content training intensity is very high. Apart from warming up, most of the time Conte does one thing. Tactical drill!
The training time was originally two hours, which was longer than a game. In the past two days, there was no relaxation training, such as shooting training, extracurricular activities and other items. The players ran no less than a game.

So when he got home, Zhang Yuan felt very tired. He now misses that Conte would take everyone to swim and play basketball, which was more relaxing.
