Super Coach

Conference Room A was quiet, everyone was staring at Yang Cheng in front of him, and his loud and powerful rhetoric was still ringing in their ears.

Baggio, Bergomi and other experienced veterans originally thought that Yang Cheng was young, but after this training session, they all had to admit that Yang Cheng's tactical quality is indeed very high.

There are even a lot of things. For players of their level, it is really a bit difficult to understand. Only after entering the training ground can they understand them better.

Paul, Baier and others were excited to hear that. They have followed Yang Cheng for three years. Over the past three years, Yang Cheng's improvement in coaching ability can be said to be amazing. Now that he is in charge of Inter Milan, he will immediately combine the current situation in Serie A. , and Inter Milan's own flaws, throwing out this tactical system is really rare.

This also indirectly shows that Yang Cheng is still making continuous progress.

Paul, Bayer and other assistants couldn't help but remind themselves that if they can't keep up with Yang Cheng's progress, they will be abandoned by him sooner or later, because an assistant who can't keep up with the head coach's rhythm and thinking is destined to be will become a burden.

All of you here are professional players who have experienced many years of professional tongue training. I would like to ask everyone, when you were training in the youth team, what was the sentence that the coaches yelled the most?

Yang Cheng smiled and tried to lighten the tense atmosphere in the conference room, and then encouraged the players to speak out.

Keep the ball moving! As Yang Cheng's favorite player, Nedved took the lead to stand up.

My youth, the coach always said, don't let the ball stop! Fan Ni laughed.

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the meeting room, bringing some relaxed atmosphere.

Well said, it basically means the same thing, which is to ensure that the ball is always in motion, right?

Many players below nodded in unison.

Well, I want to ask again, what are the two most basic movements that your coach asks you to do the most?

Suddenly, many people were speechless, even Nedved, Van Nistelrooy and others couldn't answer.

Although they have all experienced many years of training, it is really not easy for them to find out the most fundamental things at once.

Receive and pass! Baggio replied.

Well said! Yang Cheng praised with a smile,

The latter responded with a smile and sat down.

Receive and pass, this is not for the sake of simplification, but represents two kinds of order, first there is a reception, then there is a pass, that is to say, there must be someone to respond before the ball can be passed, and how to respond?

Without waiting for the players to answer, Yang Cheng turned around and wrote an oversized word on the tactical wrench, run! !

Football running is very important, offense and defense are the same. I believe everyone should be able to understand it in these days of tongue training. Our training has high requirements for running. For example, the distance is no more than an old meter. For example, everyone It’s all about running around the triangle and all that.”

It's easy to understand from the old meters. In order to enhance the success rate of passing and receiving, why should it be limited to running in a triangle?

Yang Cheng once again drew several graphics on the tactical board, and the players were all positioned in a triangle.

All the routines of running and catching the ball are nothing more than two kinds. One is to block the defensive player behind and catch the ball and advance the coordination. This is for man-to-man defense; The ball runs and cuts behind him to get the ball, which is for zone defense!

Yang Cheng's tactics are actually very easy to understand. The players have been playing football for many years, and they all nodded at the same time, especially the offensive players.

Then, let's take a look again. Let me analyze the footage of the UEFA Champions League final match between Kaiserslautern and Manchester United!

Yang Cheng immediately broadcast the edited footage of the UEFA Champions League final on TV, which showed Solskjaer's interspersed and running cooperation, which effectively opened up Kaiserslautern's defense and created a crisis.

Catch the ball and push forward. When Scholes got the ball, Solskjaer was the closest to him. At this time, the two of them and Yorke formed a triangle! Yang Cheng paused the video, and added You have redrawn the positions of the three players, and the players can see them clearly.

According to normal understanding, Solskjaer should move back to deal with it, because he is the closest, but he didn't, he ran forward instead. This is Solskjaer's cleverness. He ran forward, There was space where he was standing, and Yorke retreated from the front. If the defender did not keep up, Yorke could take the ball and turn around, threatening the goal directly. If the defender kept up, Scholes would directly pass the ball Drop into the box and hand it to Solskjaer, who faces the goal directly!

It seems complicated to say, but in fact, with the analysis of the video, the players are smart enough to see it at a glance.

Even Ronaldo and Baggio, who are the smartest runners, couldn't help but be a little stunned.

This is based on the individual, but what if there is one more person? It becomes two triangles. If there is one more person or more people, it becomes more triangles, so everything we run The movement and coordination routines are all based on the triangle, but in fact they can be extended to the court and every player in Long.

The players were a little stunned, but they had to admire Yang Cheng's analysis this time.

Next, let's talk about cutting and catching the ball. It is also based on the Long players, and they are in a triangle position!

Yang Cheng once again used the video to cooperate with his own analysis, and explained his tactical philosophy to all Inter Milan players present.

Assume that player a on the offensive side faces the goal with the ball, and the player faces the goal at the front of the restricted area, with the opponent's tight defense behind him. Triangular position.

Passed the ball and got the ball with his back, but he didn't find a chance to turn around. At this time, A ran forward directly, and retreated with the ball. The two passed each other, forming a tacit understanding Run back.

At this time, the opponent has two choices. If they follow, then pass the ball to c, turn around and push forward again, disrupting the opponent's defensive order, and c will take advantage of the situation and pass forward to find the back and pull out. Space a cuts into this space and faces the goal directly after getting the ball.

If the opponent chooses not to follow, then he can directly take the ball and turn around, facing the offensive position, and a and c advance at the same time, which can also cause chaos in the opponent's defense.

Similar to this kind of repeated staggered backrunning and cross-changing, it can confuse the opponent to the greatest extent and make them unclear who they should guard against. If the player has strong personal ability, even the forward line can complete this. One kind of cooperation, and you can imagine that these two ways of advancing cooperation, once achieved, will be single-handed!

Yang Cheng's words immediately shocked the Inter Milan players present, because they have all played football, so they are very clear that this kind of advancement is almost a kind of torture for defensive players on the ever-changing football field. .

Mental calculations or inadvertent, Inter Milan has been cooperating for a long time and has a very tacit understanding, but the defensive players are not good. They can't figure out Inter Milan's coordination routines at all, so they can only defend passively, which is almost one-on-one!

All professionally trained players or coaches know very well that the test of a team's strength lies in the conversion of offense and defense, and the test of a team's defensive level is the degree of assistance.

And Yang Cheng's cooperative running routine is to let the players intersperse and run back and forth between each other to cross positions, confuse the opponent's defensive players, disrupt their original defensive rhythm and order, and make them unable to tell who is defending whom. , so their assisted defense is out of the question, and the defense is naturally destroyed.

After Yang Cheng's lecture, the players in the entire conference room immediately changed from disapproval to admiration.

Although many things are basic theories, Yang Cheng extends and expands on the basics, adds more of his own understanding and improvement, and completely transforms these basic things into his own. .

This is! The most fundamental core value of a head coach!

At this moment, Yang Cheng knew in his heart that he had really improved!

In fact, this kind of improvement was forced out, because the current Inter Milan has been ridiculed and ridiculed by the outside world, and the head coach Yang Cheng is also under tremendous pressure, so he is always seeking to improve his strength way and method.

Now, he has really succeeded!

Or it can be said that he has found the threshold to take charge of Inter Milan to glory, it depends on how he leads the team down!

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He finally understood why that multi-professional person said that if an excellent head coach wants to be at the top, he must go through the baptism of the rich, because this kind of in the rich team After being under tremendous pressure, the transformation and progress brought about are incomparable even after many years in charge of an ordinary team!

And as long as he continues to maintain this progress, I believe it won't take long for him to achieve a complete transformation and become one of the best head coaches.

At the end of the tactical meeting, Yang Cheng packed up his manuscripts, looked at the players below, and smiled slightly, looking extremely confident.

I know that it will take a long time for us to realize the tactical blueprint I just outlined. Our current defense has established a framework, but it is far from enough to deal with the Serie A rivals, so we will continue to maintain the running-in The team should improve the team's technical and tactical level, and continue to practice offensive and defensive coordination routines.

, I can even predict here first, not only in the warm-up match, but even in the first few rounds of the league, we are expected to encounter great difficulties. I hope everyone can be prepared in their hearts. The gang outside The guy will definitely do everything possible to ridicule us and humiliate us, but we don't need to care too much.

Because, as long as we understand what we are doing and what we want, why should we care what others say? They humiliate us, laugh at us, and even satirize us now, and we will fight back with victories in the future!

Everyone is a professional player, I believe everyone will be able to understand what I said.

Here, I would like to reiterate that in my team there is no distinction between the main players and the substitutes. No one must play, and anyone must sit on the bench. I will observe everyone in training. , examine everyone in the game, who is in good shape, who has fighting spirit, who can execute my tactics, who I let on, otherwise I will let him sit on the bench!

After a pause, Yang Cheng swept over everyone and paused on Ronaldo for a while.

The Brazilian is really sad in the hands of Yang Cheng, because his main position is threatened by Ventola and Zamorano, especially Ventola, the Italian teenager performed well in the warm-up match, The cooperation with Van Nistelrooy is also very eye-catching.

Although many people outside have said that it is impossible for me to achieve anything in my first season in charge of Inter Milan, but I don't think so. I will fight for every honor and every championship. This is my football creed. No player who is not on my side will stay on my team!

Finally, what I want to tell you is that the door of my office is not locked at any time. Any of you, at any time, for any reason, can walk in to find me. I hope that if you have any thoughts, you can directly Tell me face to face, not through reporters or the media, or, make small moves behind my back!

On this last point, Yang Cheng said it very seriously and resolutely. What he hates the most is that people in the team locker room engage in sneaky tricks or form cliques.

After the current Inter Milan has been cleaned up, the biggest gang is Ruud van Nistelrooy, Nedved and Lucio. These three players form the central axis of Inter Milan, but they are the favorites brought by Yang Cheng. It's Yang Cheng's man, Bergomi is the leader of the locker room, and has a good relationship with everyone, but he also tends to support Yang Cheng.

Baggio was originally told to leave, but now he has taken a turn for the worse and his relationship with Yang Cheng has improved a lot. After training, he would chat with each other from time to time to discuss some issues on the court. .

Coupled with Emerson, Van Bommel, Zambrotta and other players that Yang Cheng insisted on introducing, Yang Cheng has been able to control the locker room and truly realize the first step of the King's Landing Inter Milan.

And what he has to do next is to lead Inter Milan to glory in terms of performance.

In the next few days, in Minli, the team resumed two training sessions a day. The tongue training class in the afternoon mainly consisted of defensive and offensive routine drills. It was still in accordance with Yang Cheng's previous arrangements, and carried out triangular dribbling and advancing cooperation. Routine.

According to the idea outlined by Yang Cheng, start with three players, wait until the three players are familiar with the cooperation and have a tacit understanding, and then increase the number of players.

But the three players are not chosen randomly. For example, the midfielder must be partnered with two forwards, or with the left and right central midfielders, because they are very close in position, and so on, all are targeted. to group.

After a few days of training at the Pinetina base, the team set off for Amsterdam, the Netherlands, to participate in the Amsterdam Cup.

The four teams participating in the invitational tournament are the host Ajax, Inter Milan in Serie A, Deportivo in La Liga and Arsenal in England.

The first round is Ajax against Arsenal, Inter Milan against Deportivo, the second round is Inter Milan against Arsenal, Ajax against Deportivo.

After the re-hosting of the Amsterdam Cup, in order to encourage goals, in addition to scoring points according to the tradition, additional goal points were added at the same time. There are all, one goal, and the points become points.

After a month of intensive training for Inter Milan, the team has obviously just gone through brutal physical reserve training, and the players are not excited enough. In the game against Deportivo, A lost without any suspense.

The problem exposed in this game is still the defense. Lucio stepped forward to help defend and Emerson behind him covered the area and filled the gap for Lucio. The cooperation between the two was still There is not enough tacit understanding, and Inter Milan's defense still looks messy.

But these are the troubles that Yang Cheng had expected. After all, the opponents in the previous warm-up match were not strong. Find the reason for the loss.

Two days later, Ran Ji Milan ushered in Arsenal.

Wenger's team can't play gorgeous football now, but they are doing well in offense and defense, especially after the introduction of Henry from Juventus this season, the offensive strength has been strengthened.

However, after a disastrous defeat, Inter Milan adjusted their defensive order very well in this game. The midfield combination of Nedved, Emerson and Simeone also got Yang Cheng in this game. The affirmation, coupled with a Lucio, made Inter Milan's defense solid.

However, the offense is still disorganized. The players have a sense of cooperation, but there are still big problems. In the end, a. Get a draw.

After the game, Inter Milan was at the bottom with points, Deportivo won the championship, Ajax and Arsenal tied for second and third.

Regarding the trip to Amsterdam, Yang Cheng said frankly that he had gained a lot. At least in his opinion, encountering a strong opponent in the warm-up match and having problems is a good thing, allowing him to correct it in time and better cope with the upcoming league.

But the media and some people don’t see it that way. At least they saw that Yang Cheng’s performance in the warm-up match was abysmal at the beginning of his tenure at Inter Milan. Ratty, spray everyone.

Mo Ji was very active. Obviously he decided to make enemies with Yang Cheng. He didn't miss any chance to attack Yang Cheng, and frequently jumped out to attack Yang Cheng and his Inter Milan.

Moratti seemed relatively calm this time and did not accept interviews from the media, but Chetty said that the club absolutely trusts Yang Cheng's coaching ability, and everything at Inter Milan is moving in a good direction.

Yang Cheng assured us that within a month, we can see a completely different Inter Milan! Chetty expressed confidence in Yang Cheng.

But on the third day after the team left Amsterdam, the Turin Sports News published an explosive news!
