Super Coach

The early morning fog has not completely dissipated, and the sound of players arriving at the Melwood training base has already been heard.

The security team received a notice from the coaching staff last night. Eight security guards were waiting at the gate of Melwood on time at 6:30 in the morning. They all rubbed their hands to warm up against the cold morning in Liverpool and complained about the new coach. This weird rule.

However, when they heard that the new head coach had arrived earlier than them, they were all speechless.

They earn an annual salary of nearly 10 million euros and arrive at 6 o'clock. What does it mean for us at 6:30?

The security captain's words were immediately recognized by the security team. They are all Liverpool fans and are naturally willing to contribute their part to the club's revival.

Just after 6:30, we saw players arriving at the Melwood training base one after another. Some of them had just joined the team and had not yet found a place to live. Players who were still living in the hotel took a taxi and came to the door. After getting out of the car, they quickly ran into the training base.

Starting today, Melwood is getting busy again!

Hyypia, Gerrard and Carragher all came to the locker room early, changed their clothes, and waited for the arrival of their teammates.

These teammates have all been to the locker room before, and they all chose their own wardrobes under the arrangement of the three of them. The club staff had already prepared the players’ belongings and placed them on their seats. Go to the locker room, just change your clothes and you can start training.

Everyone is still unfamiliar with the reorganized team, that’s for sure, and these people come from all over the world, and some of them don’t even speak the same language, so communication is more troublesome and can often only be accomplished with the help of international gestures. .

After talking to Yang Cheng before, the three of Hyypia patiently helped their teammates. When everyone was ready, they took everyone out of the locker room and came to the green field station in front of the brand new training building. Certainly.

Yang Cheng and Ian Rush stood here waiting, while Paul Bayer led the coaching staff and staff to arrange the equipment and props needed for today's training session on the grass in the distance, and also divided the training sessions. area.

Hello everyone, welcome to Liverpool! Yang Cheng smiled and glanced at everyone present, I am Yang Cheng!

The players below all raised their heads and looked at Yang Cheng, Good morning, boss!

Yang Cheng was quite satisfied with the players' neat shouts and nodded, The new season is about to start.

I believe everyone is looking forward to the new season, and so am I, but before that, we must make all preparations to welcome the new season, because our goals for the new season will be very arduous.

After hearing this, all the players suddenly became serious.

When you walked into the door of Melwood, you must have seen the club badge on the U-shaped roundabout, and then look at the team badge on your chest. This is a unique team with a glorious and glorious history. The dazzling past, but now, he has sunk, and he is waiting for you to create glory again.

Yang Cheng had to pause for a while every time he said a word. Because some players on the scene couldn't understand English, there were also translators. He had to give the translators time to translate and let the players know what he was thinking.

Of course, most players understand it.

I hope that we can perform well in the new season, because I came to the Premier League not to get a salary or to get a job. I believe all of you are like me. We are here. To win, to win the championship, right?

Yes! This time, everyone knew how to shout.

Go to eat first, then you can rest, and wait in the gym in an hour. Don't be late! Yang Cheng's last words were obviously threatening.

His training style has long been rumored by the media. Everyone present knows Yang Cheng's character and knows that he hates people being late for training. Therefore, no one dares to be careless, even Dai, the biggest star in the team. Weiss, he still had to keep his tail between his legs in front of Yang Cheng.

…………

The so-called waiting in the gym after an hour is relative to Yang Cheng. As players, they must come to the scene in advance because they still have to warm up. As soon as Yang Cheng arrives, he starts training immediately.

When they arrived at the gym one by one, they found that Chris Schmidt and Tim Hank were already waiting here.

Everyone, come here. It's the first training session today. We will guide you here to warm up! Tim Hank clapped his hands vigorously and called all the players over.

Everyone knows that Yang Cheng’s training sessions are very intense. Even when he was at Inter Milan, Ronaldo once joked to the media, “I would not care about the boss’s training session or a Serie A game.” Hesitantly choose the latter!”

From these words, it is not difficult to see the intensity of Yang Cheng's training sessions.

But corresponding to the intensity, Yang Cheng prepares the details of the warm-up before training, even down to the impact of each warm-up action on the subsequent training. Players are required to warm up carefully to any part of the body.

You'd better warm up your whole body from your toes to the top of your head, otherwise, you will get injured! Tim Hank said with a smile. If he practices three times a day, the first two training sessions are filled with him and Yang Cheng, Chris Schmidt, and Paul Bayer jointly formulated it, and he knew the intensity best.

The more than twenty players present were warming up under the guidance of Tim Hanke and Chris Schmidt. After they had warmed up in accordance with the requirements of the two coaches, they found that they were all sweating and their bodies were wet. Thoroughly.

It's just a warm-up. How terrifying will the intensity of the training be?

In fact, the equipment training in the gym does not simply allow all players to do the same thing, but is divided into categories so that players in different positions can conduct targeted training. For example, there is a set of gym training for center backs and center backs, and there is a set of gym training for forwards and forwards. , even among the forwards, Drogba and Baros have different training plans.

When they enter the gym, everyone will get a gym training plan with their name written on it. It lists the benefits of some equipment training, as well as the maintenance of the players' own abilities, as well as suggestions for the players. Suggestions, what areas do you want them to work on more, etc.

A gym training plan is enough to make everyone in Liverpool deeply feel the meticulousness of Yang Cheng's preparation. It also reminds them that when joining the team and reporting back to the team, every player is required to fill out a The answer sheet was as detailed as how many times he had sex with his wife and girlfriend in a week, and there was also an exhaustive physical examination report.

They were all skeptical about these questionnaires and physical examinations at first, but now it seems that they are all useful.

Not to mention that these players who played on the British Isles found this incredible, even other players who played on the European continent had never experienced such a detailed training plan.

They used to know from newspapers and magazines that Yang Cheng's training was rigorous, but now that they experienced it for themselves, they realized how lax the rigor they had imagined before was.

Yang Cheng came to the gym almost on time. He first analyzed the usefulness of the training plan with the players.

What I want to say is that the league is a long journey, especially in the Premier League. There is no winter break, which is very difficult, but every game is important, which requires us to arrange physical adjustment in daily training. Go, we will use scientific and reasonable training to enable each of you to reach peak performance at the critical moment.

A player's body is a cycle. Through reasonable and targeted training, the player's body and condition can be at their best at critical moments, so as to show better combat effectiveness in the game. That's why Yang Cheng is so meticulous in training that it is almost to the extreme. , the entire training class was densely arranged and very compact.

…………

…………

The gym training lasted for 90 minutes, after which the players could rest. They appeared at the training ground at 10:45 for the second training session, physical training.

Yang Cheng's physical training is still training with the ball, but it is more about pass rushing, or continuous rushing with the ball, etc.

Experience it more in training. The 20-meter sprint is always used repeatedly in games. You all need to use it when counterattacking and returning to defense, and passers must also carefully observe your teammates. Their Speed, explosive power, sprinting habits, etc., must be kept in mind, because you have to form a tacit understanding with your teammates, these are the key!

Does the fast-paced rush that lasts for 30 seconds look like we made an attack in the game? Everyone has to adapt to this in every training. In this way, you will find that in the game, it turns out that in the game Everything we have done in training has been done countless times, so it will become very simple.”

Jogging is very simple, but jogging in football matches is a science, because it can help you recover your physical fitness better, so I arrange 30 seconds of jogging after 30 seconds of fast-paced sprinting, just to Let everyone learn how to rest during the game, and remember that breathing, concentration, spirit, and pace must all work together.

The entire Melwood training ground was filled with Yang Cheng’s shouts and explanations. He is not a person who likes to forcefully indoctrinate. He hopes that every player can clearly realize that every training session he does has certain consequences. What's the use and why do they do it? Because only in this way will they be more motivated.

On the contrary, if you don't tell them why you need to jog after a fast-paced sprint, they will be confused and doubtful, and they will think that this training is unnecessary, so they will greatly discount it and it will be ineffective in the end.

But if they understand, ah, it turns out that this can help them adapt to the rhythm of the game and help them recover better during the game, they will complete it meticulously.

After the entire 90-minute training session, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, almost in seconds, especially at the end when Yang Cheng conducted 15 minutes of group training and small field group training on the training ground. practice.

Although the players have gone through intense 75 minutes of high-intensity training and their bodies can no longer hold up, Yang Cheng arranges group training at this time in order to let the players become familiar with the kind of kicking that is close to the limit of physical fitness. ball way.

In order to prevent the group training from losing its meaning, Yang Cheng specially arranged a reward and punishment strategy for this training.

I heard that there is a game called Light in the neighborhoods of Liverpool, right, Steven? Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

After hearing this, Gerald immediately smiled and nodded, That's right, boss, we have been playing since we were little.

Yes, light, the loser takes off his pants! Carragher has obviously played this game before.

Then I will respect this tradition of Liverpool. Whoever loses will take off his shorts, stand naked in front of the goal line, and let the opponent kick the ball and shoot. Yang Cheng said with a smile.

The players and coaching staff at the scene burst out laughing after hearing this. This punishment was indeed special enough.

However, the winner should not think that it is okay if he misses the kick. If the winner misses the loser, then the winner will have to kick the ball for the loser.

Yang Cheng's words once again made the players present cheer, and they were all interested in this penalty.

Boss, what if the loser doesn't kick the ball? Hyypia asked.

Yang Cheng smiled, Then keep kicking until you hit the target!

Everyone burst into laughter, and everyone looked very excited and ready to fight.

Yang Chengzhen did not arrange this penalty on a whim. In fact, he had thought about this for a long time, and finally thought of Liverpool's light game. It is not only a penalty, but also improves the players' investment level and can train their feet. But the most important thing is , after this kind of game, the relationship between players will be closer.

We’ve all seen how old each other is, so our relationship will still become estranged?

If you want to maintain the internal harmony of a team, it is not enough to just say a few words or do a few things. It does not mean that it can be done with money or relationships, but it must be accumulated bit by bit in daily life. It is best to let the players maintain a good relationship in normal times, so that they will naturally tolerate each other, restrain each other, and become harmonious with each other.

…………

After the morning training, Yang Cheng returned to his office.

Chris Schmidt followed him, knocked on the door and walked in. He handed a test report to Yang Cheng and then looked at Yang Cheng with an almost monster look.

Do you have clairvoyance? Chris Schmidt asked pretending to be mysterious.

No, if so, I can't let you stand in front of me, that would be too disgusting! Yang Cheng retorted with a smile.

Otherwise, how do you know there will be tumors on his testicles? Chris Schmidt asked ambiguously.

Yang Cheng raised his head and saw the ambiguous look in this bastard's eyes. He couldn't help laughing and scolding: Your mind is screwed up!

That's too much. Logically speaking, you can't know! Chris thought.

If Yang Cheng hadn't pointed it out specifically this time, the team doctors wouldn't have been able to conduct a detailed scan on Robben, and as Yang Cheng predicted, the result was that there was indeed something wrong with his testicles.

I occasionally heard Arnesen mention that Eindhoven had such worries, so I reminded you to pay attention. How did I know? Yang Cheng scolded with a smile, but after thinking about it, he added: I will Arrange for Robben’s parents to come to Liverpool, but it’s best not to tell him until then.”

Chris nodded. Robben is only 19 years old, too young to be intimidated. Moreover, there is an unspoken rule in European football. If a player has a physical problem, the first person the team doctor has to notify is the head coach, and arrangements must be made according to the head coach's requirements. .

But Yang Cheng was thinking about another problem.

The first two years of Robben's career were complete and he was rarely troubled by injuries. Even in his first season with PSV, he never suffered an injury until he got testicular cancer. It is said that he left a deep shadow at the time.

It is understandable that anyone would feel scared if a 19-year-old boy faced the threat that he might die as a result.

According to what Robben himself said later, he began to become a little too nervous about his body because of this. Everyone who plays football knows that the more nervous you are, the more likely you are to get injured, which later led to the glass man Robben.

Of course, there must be factors of Robben's technical style.

Yang Cheng felt that since testicular cancer was known in advance, especially after knowing that it was benign and not of much concern, he should notify his parents and ask them to come to Liverpool to help him get through this difficulty better. So as not to leave any shadow in his heart.

Chris Schmidt didn't know what Yang Cheng was thinking. He just felt that Yang Cheng did this because of his love for Robben, and the Dutchman's performance was indeed good, with excellent speed and technique.

By the way, if you need surgery, it should be done locally in Liverpool, right? Yang Cheng asked casually.

Chris Schmidt nodded, Of course, the Royal Liverpool University Hospital is very famous. They cooperate with the University of Liverpool. The latter's medical school is very outstanding and has won the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

That's good, I hope Robben can catch up with his Asia trip at the end of the month! Yang Cheng said.

Pre-season preparations are very important. Yang Cheng hopes that Robben can have more opportunities to train with the team, so that he can better integrate into the team.

Chris Schmidt nodded, Then I'll get ready!

Yang Cheng sent him out and sat down on his seat. He began to study how to handle this matter well so as not to leave a shadow on Robben.

It's really funny to think of him as a head coach and as a nanny like him!

But he is really optimistic about Robben. If Peter Pan doesn't have glass, he will be really awesome.

But that's not to say that Robben is great. This kid still needs to be refined, especially his unique problems. Yang Cheng requires teamwork most from his players. He is confident that he can train Robben into a unique Peter Pan.

The same goes for Cristiano Huinaldo, who is from Portugal and speaks with a strong local accent. This kid also has to work hard, otherwise his fancy technical style will definitely let Liverpool down if he does not become more concise. The frontcourt attack has slowed down a lot, becoming a major obstacle to the team's offense!
