Super Coach

Many of Santana’s coaching concepts are very close to Yang Cheng’s. For example, they both pay attention to details, insist on attacking football, and pursue perfection. They don’t like violence on the football field. Conducting disciplinary offences, etc.

When visiting Santana in Brazil before, Yang Cheng chatted with him for a long time, and also exchanged their respective coaching views. Santana once said that his way of doing things would not work in Europe, but Yang Cheng made his coaching philosophy Europeanized and upgraded.

It is also because of this that when Yang Cheng heard that Santa was admitted to the hospital, it happened that the league was suspended again, so he went to Sao Paulo, Brazil to visit this respected old coach.

Denilson squatted beside Yang Cheng, and he could feel Yang Cheng's respect for Santana, which was not lost to him at all!

He found it difficult to understand, because Yang Cheng and Santana had only met each other a few times, but they seemed to respect each other very much, especially Yang Cheng's admiration and respect for Santana.

Of course he would not know that among the most respected head coaches in Yang Cheng's previous life, Trey Santana ranked first, even surpassing Michels from Total Defense, because the two of them have many similarities in their bones.

Perhaps it was because of this that they were able to hit it off.

When I build a team, the first thing I value is emotion, so I pay attention to the whole, because I really like the emotion that 11 players trust and depend on each other. I always feel that that is what happens on the football field. The greatest and most powerful weapon!

I like to win, but in my way to win a game, in an active, positive, technical way to win a game, but under the glory of the victory, it is the light of the team as a whole that shines, Rather than a certain star, because I understand that the power of one person is limited, but the power of a group of people is infinite!

So in my team every single player is very important but not indispensable and I think that's why on our jerseys we always have the team's name on the front. , but the reason why players’ names are always printed on the back is to remind players that the team will always be above the individual!”

Having said that, Yang Cheng suddenly turned his head, looked deeply at Denilson for a while, then shook his head and sighed: With your current way of playing football, you may be the most eye-catching star, but you will always be the star. Not the best player!

Then he stood up, patted the grass clippings on his buttocks, and calmed down, Maybe, I should really think about letting you transfer back to Brazil! After speaking, Yang Cheng turned to his The office went by.

Denilson was taken aback after hearing this, and stood up from the ground, Can I stay and try?

Yang Cheng stopped, turned around, and looked at Denilson, who took a few steps forward.

When I sat in the stands and watched the team's difficult victory over the mighty Dortmund, that game really shocked me, especially the sense of unity of the teammates on the field. I have experienced this more deeply in several consecutive games, even when the team encountered difficulties, it has never changed.

I called Santana just now, and he told me about you, and he mentioned to me that I should experience that fascinating emotion you mentioned, because I have never felt it, so I I hope you can let me stay and try, I promise, I will make myself meet the standards you require in every aspect as soon as possible!

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, but soon thanked Santana, because he vaguely guessed that Santana must have said something to Denilson, but he was also happy to see Denilson actively integrate into the team.

But that will be very difficult! Yang Cheng said deliberately.

Denilson hesitated.

I remembered that when he received the written warning, he wanted to use his performance to overthrow Yang Cheng's judgment; he remembered what Trey Santana told him about his future in Europe; A replica of Head's Golden Globe trophy...

I still want to try! Denilson gritted his teeth secretly.

Then let me have a look! Yang Cheng said with a cool look.

…………

After sending Yang Cheng away, Denilson did not leave the training ground immediately, but went to the equipment room of the training building.

As soon as he came to the door, he heard a sound coming from inside. Denilson walked in strangely, and saw Fanny practicing leg weightlifting by himself, mechanically repeating the training again and again, even though he was sweating profusely, he gritted his teeth persist in.

It's you! Fanny immediately greeted Denilson with a smile when he saw Denilson standing at the door.

Denilson walked in with his lips pursed, and gave Fanny a friendly smile.

Are you here for training too? Fanny asked with a smile.

Denilson didn't answer, but stood beside Ruud van Nistelrooy, and curiously glanced at the practice equipment in the equipment room. He was very unfamiliar with all of them, because in Brazil, everyone believed that only when the ball was under his feet was he is the best way to train.

Are you working on leg strength? Denilson asked.

Van Nistelrooy also completed his training, stopped, picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his face, Yes, lifting weights on legs can improve the strength of the legs, and better convert strength into speed.

Does it work? Denilson wondered.

If you can increase your speed simply by practicing your leg strength, wouldn't everyone have the opportunity to become a trapeze person? Then everyone doesn't have to do anything else, just practice speed directly.

Very little! said Fanny, laughing.

Denilson was stunned, Since it doesn't have much effect, why... He didn't say the last half of the sentence, but the meaning was obvious, obviously suspecting that Fanny's training was useless and hard work wasted.

At first I suspected this too, but two days ago, the boss came here to see me and asked me about my situation. He told me that the so-called targeted exercises and training can actually achieve very little progress. What promotes the growth of players is the game and their own comprehension, but training is inevitable!

Denilson was stunned for a moment, and felt that this was a bit puzzling. Since the progress was so small, why did he still need targeted training?

I asked him the same way at the time, and he told me a truth!

Fanny got off the equipment, picked up a bottle of water and drank it.

Take me for example, my speed is not outstanding, so even if I practice for another ten or eight years, I can't train my speed to be as fast as yours. This is because of my physical limitations, but I still have to insist on leg strength training, why?

Denilson also looked at Fanny in astonishment. He felt that the Dutchman's eyes were shining with excitement.

It's definitely not just for the few hundredths of a second, because on the football field, does it make sense for you to be faster or slower by a few hundredths of a second? The real meaning of targeted training is to make you feel good about yourself This pursuit allows you to make some improvements based on your own weaknesses. Even if the progress you have made is very small, you will feel the progress. This is a very important feeling for players, because it will make you become Be more confident!

Only absolute inferiority will lead to absolute self-confidence! This is what the boss said, and I am beginning to understand the meaning of this sentence, because I have inferiority complex and see my weakness in speed and body, so I am I will work hard to improve and train myself, strengthen my strength, and make myself feel better and more confident!

Furthermore, the boss is a person who pays great attention to details. He is even demanding on details, and he made me understand that even if it is only a few hundredths of a second of progress, I must do my best to fight for it. , because even the smallest details can tip the balance of a match!

When Fanny said this, he smiled confidently and said, Perhaps, this is what the boss said, the charm of football!

Denilson stared blankly at the Dutchman walking towards another set of equipment. He suddenly remembered what Trey Santana had said to him. He didn't quite understand it at the time, but now he suddenly understood.

Standing on the football field, your biggest enemy is not the opponent standing opposite you, nor the fans in the stands, but yourself!

Agent manipulation, media hype, fans touting...all of these are meaningless, because players who come out of these will never be able to reach the top. The truly great players have almost strict requirements on themselves Players, they will not change themselves because of changes in their opponents, they will only continue to improve and raise their own requirements.

Players challenge themselves, coaches challenge themselves, teams challenge themselves... that's what football is all about!

Zooming in, isn't this the true meaning of competitive sports?

Thinking of this, Denilson suddenly felt that his previous stubbornness and conservatism were actually a kind of cowardice, because he didn't dare to let himself face the European style, and he didn't want to work too hard to improve himself, so he chose to maintain the status quo. It's like standing still.

But Yang Cheng has higher demands on him, I hope he can challenge higher goals, this is for his own good!

For no reason, at this moment, Denilson suddenly understood why his mentor, Santana, wanted him to stay in Kaiserslautern. For the first time, he had a feeling of gratitude towards Yang Cheng, although it was only very weak. a tiny bit of it.

Can you teach me how to use these instruments? Denilson came to Fanny and asked humbly.

At this moment, from the window that the two players couldn't see, Yang Cheng had a panoramic view of everything that happened in the equipment room, and he smiled in relief!
