Chapter 131 The shady story!Technological masters and violent battles [Big chapter with ten thousand words, begging to subscribe]
Speaking of which, many people may not believe it.
This is Mel Villa's first visit to the capital Madrid.
With his proud son David Villa came.
They are just playing an outpost, and then the wife and daughter will come over.
Atletico will help them find jobs in Madrid, which will not be difficult for Atletico.
It is said that this is also a major contribution of Yang Hao.
In the past year, the social software LINE has become more and more popular, with registered users rising steadily. As the first cooperative company, Atletico Madrid has launched a variety of functions and services.
One of them is that Mahdajonda's three player placement staff have established many groups on hand, including the work of players' families, and have cooperated with many companies and stores founded by Atletico Madrid fans around Madrid.
For Atletico Madrid, it is just a matter of sorting out the information about Villa's parents and family members. After posting it, they will quickly get a positive response, and then select them and leave it to Villa's family to make their own choices.
In fact, it is quite popular to hire family members of Atletico Madrid players.
Atletico Madrid's driver picked them up at the train station. They first went to the Calderon Stadium to visit, but they couldn't go to Atletico Madrid's office because it was like a war there. It was very busy and no one had time to greet them.
They came directly to Mahadahonda.
Unlike Calderon's busyness, Mahadajonda is still quiet.
"The season training hasn't started yet. Once the players leave, it will be lively. There are a lot of reporters every day." The driver said proudly from the front row.
After a pause, he looked in the rearview mirror and saw a young man sitting in the back seat who looked very quiet.
"Young man, when you come to Atletico Madrid, as long as you play a good game, you will become the hero of the whole city tomorrow!"
Villa's eyes flashed with enthusiasm, and he nodded and said, "I will work hard."
"Mr. Yang Hao attaches great importance to you. He personally asked me to pick you up and asked me not to be late." The driver said a few words.
Villa looked at his father, and all of them had a feeling of being valued.
But this driver is always late?
Not long ago, Atletico Madrid just signed a car sponsorship agreement with Audi.
Therefore, everyone in the Atletico Madrid team is now equipped with Audi, including the club’s welcome car.
"As soon as you establish yourself in the first team, you will also get an Audi."
"Free?" Mel Villa felt unbelievable.
This car is not cheap.
"Of course, you can choose from all the car models, but in theory they are borrowed, and after you transfer and leave the team, you have to return them to the sponsor."
"That's not bad." Mel Villa was a little excited.
Men have very special feelings towards cars.
Mahadahonda is not big, but it is much better than Sporting Gijon’s training base.
The driver said that this was the result of transformation and improvement after Yang Hao's coaching. It was even worse before.
When they entered the gate of Mahadahonda, they happened to see a large truck parked at the entrance of the training building to unload goods. Workers were constantly moving things inside, and the truck's compartment had the Nike logo on it.
"What is that?" Villa asked curiously.
"Oh, it's also our newly signed sponsor, Nike in the United States. They have moved in new season jerseys, sneakers, sports shoes, etc. Everyone can choose as they please."
"So many, all?" Mel Villa was surprised again.
He has heard of the Nike brand. It is a big international brand and the price is not cheap.
"This is the benefit of being a sponsor. There will definitely be more cooperation at the beginning. In the future, a lot of new products will be sent out every month. Our players are randomly selected, and so are the staff."
"All for free?" Mel Villa was a little surprised.
"Of course, we still ask Nike to collect money."
"You use their things and you ask them to pay you?"
"That's what sponsorship is like."
The driver quickly parked the car and took the father and son out of the car. He happened to see a middle-aged Spanish man recording and making arrangements on the side of the truck.
"Hey, Ramon."
"Hello." Ramon replied without even turning his head as he was busy counting.
"He is our equipment manager. Later you have to ask him for a form and fill in your information, including the size of sneakers, jerseys, etc. Anyway, he is responsible for all the club's equipment, and he will prepare it for you. OK."
This sentence was spoken to Villa.
Before, at Sporting Gijon, they didn't have such benefits.
This should be the difference between big teams and small teams.
"You said, I can get these jerseys and sneakers, so can I get a few more sets?" Mel Villa asked timidly.
"Send someone?"
Mel Villa's thoughts were seen through, and he scratched his head in embarrassment, "That's right."
"Of course it's no problem, but I definitely won't let anyone take it. If it's not too much, it doesn't matter."
After a pause, the driver taught two more tricks, "Actually, as long as you perform well, there will be many sponsors looking for you. When the time comes, whatever you want or like, there will be sponsors rushing to give it to you."
"real or fake?"
"Isn't that right? Doesn't our head coach always wear a suit?"
"Ah."
"In the past year, the big international brands have sent him countless sets of hundreds or even thousands of euros, several or even dozens of sets of different styles and colors. Before, he saw that my body shape was different. He was almost the same and even gave me a set as a gift." After saying that, the driver laughed proudly.
"There are also leather shoes and so on. The head coach used to live in Mahadahonda. Those brands were sent to the security room outside. Sometimes they were so full that I couldn't finish them every day."
Villa and his son were stunned.
Is this La Liga?
They used to think that La Liga was just about playing football and getting paid, but they didn’t expect that there were so many benefits?
Villa had just stepped into this world, and he was amazed in his heart.
But he would definitely not believe it if he could give anything.
You can’t give it to your girlfriend or wife, right?
This made Villa feel better.
He has a very good girlfriend at home, and he wants to work hard at playing football and marry her back home.
……
"I'm glad to see you here, David."
Yang Hao received Villa and his son in the office.
Although Mel seemed a bit bold when he was in Tuila, when he left the coal mining area and came to the big capital, he seemed a bit reserved, but pretended to be calm.
In fact, many thoughts cannot be hidden from others.
On the contrary, David Villa is very good at calming down.
Calmness, this is the basic quality that a top killer must have.
If he panics when encountering the slightest situation, then this kind of player will be finished when he comes on the field.
"Sir, I hope to be helped and promoted in your team, and I will work hard." Villa said sincerely.
Yang Hao smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, the atmosphere in our locker room is good."
For Villa, Yang Hao's arrangement is to train with the first team, and mainly play with the second team in the second division. After adapting to the team first, he will find opportunities to improve himself. Yang Hao will also arrange more game time for him to practice. .
At present, Atletico Madrid's lineup still has some problems, namely in the position of right winger Joaquín.
Last season, Joaquin's substitutes were Reyes and Aguilera, and Torres could also play occasionally.
For young players, Yang Hao actually hopes that they will try more different positions. This will not only improve their comprehensiveness, but also help them better understand the playing methods of different positions on the court.
It can be said that this model has been proven countless times in 2023, and it is really effective.
Villa's arrival can give the left and right wingers one more option.
Diego Forlan can actually try to play these two positions. The configuration of a center and two scorer wingers will appear more offensive. Yang Hao has always wanted to find an opportunity to try it.
Looking at all European leagues, especially the four top leagues, every team attaches great importance to local players.
This is not only due to the restrictions on registration and appearance quotas, but more importantly, the sense of identity.
For example, Gravesen decided to go to Leeds United because he had no cultural identity with La Liga.
The most cultural identity thing is the own youth training, followed by local players, and then others.
Yang Hao once saw a saying in his previous life. If there were no restrictions on foreign aid, almost all the teams in the four major European leagues would be occupied by foreign aid.
This is not a lie, but a fact.
Because from the perspective of the entire group, the strength of foreign players, especially the strength of South American foreign players, is far stronger than that of local players.
Otherwise, why bother asking for foreign aid?
But the rules are limited, and in addition to taking care of local fans, local players are naturally needed.
Therefore, in any league, outstanding local players are very expensive and very scarce.
The more competitive the league is and the stronger the team, the narrower the selection of local players they face, and naturally the more expensive they are.
This is the reason why anyone who comes out of England can earn a sky-high price.
Household registration books are available everywhere and are expensive everywhere.
In Spain, outstanding local players like Villa, Torres, Ramos, and David Silva are themselves very expensive and scarce goods.
Therefore, Barcelona could pay 4000 million euros for Villa, who was nearly thirty years old.
This summer, Real Madrid and Barcelona are also willing to pay sky-high prices for Mendieta. This is the logic behind it.
Precisely because of this, the top giants will pay more attention to youth training and the more willing they are to invest in youth training.
Similar to the old Hill's disbandment of a certain youth team in order to save money, and directly gave his own genius Raul to his neighbor's mortal enemy, it is really very rare.
Therefore, Yang Hao not only needs to introduce excellent foreign players, but also high-level local players.
There is no way, why has Atletico Madrid not paid attention to youth training in the past few years?
Since last year, Atletico Madrid has increased its investment in youth training, but youth training requires perseverance, because no one knows when it will bear fruit.
Ajax's golden generation, Real Madrid's Five Eagles era, Barcelona's Dream Team, and Manchester United's Class [-], these cannot be copied in batches and can only rely on long-term and continuous investment.
Once it accumulates to a certain point, it will naturally come out.
If nothing else, standing in 2001 now, who dares to believe that Spanish football will lead the world trend in 10 years?
When Beckenbauer and others were reforming Germany's youth training, they didn't dare to say in which year they would achieve results, right?
Youth training can only improve the lower limit of your competitiveness. Sometimes the upper limit really depends on luck.
Class [-] came out this time, and it was the Red Devils Manchester United.
If Manchester United had really been sold to Murdoch of News Corporation in 97, and this world-class rich man was waving his money to buy and buy, and sent away all the youth training of Class [-], then there would definitely be no Class [-], then And the Red Devils Manchester United?
Yang Hao has always felt that the most fascinating thing about football is that every game, every team, every player, and every goal is unique and cannot be copied.
……
Due to the 02 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, the league schedule for the new season has been compressed.
The first round of La Liga starts on August 8, but as the double champion of La Liga and UEFA Cup last season, Atletico Madrid's start to the new season is more difficult than other teams.
It can almost be said that it was a hit right from the start.
Because they have to play two rounds of the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup.
The opponent of the Spanish Super Cup is Celta Vigo. This team defeated the relegated team Zaragoza in last season's Copa del Rey final, avoiding the embarrassment of the Spanish second division team playing in the UEFA Cup.
But this also brought greater trouble to Atletico Madrid.
Not to mention the European Super Cup, the opponent is the Champions League champion Bayern Munich.
According to the schedule, except for Real Mallorca, which ranked fourth in the league last season, and has to play two rounds of Champions League qualifying rounds in advance, other teams only need to play one La Liga first round before September.
But Atletico Madrid will play 4 games at the end of August.
It can be said that it was a series of tough battles from the beginning.
After two weeks of national team matches, September will be the beginning of the alternation between La Liga and the Champions League group stages, both of which are double matches a week.
In Yang Hao's previous life, the Champions League group stage was usually from September to December, with 9 rounds of games completed, and the top 12 knockout rounds starting in February of the following year. But now it is two rounds of group stage, with 6 games.
The first round is from September to mid-November, and the second round is from late November to March.
This kind of schedule is really intensive and scary.
Not only Yang Hao, but also Atletico Madrid's coaching team has encountered such a dense and devilish schedule for the first time.
Especially when entering the second round of the group stage, the top two teams from the first round were all put into four groups to fight.
Those 16 teams are all the strongest and best teams in Europe.
You can think about how cruel the competition is.
But the champion who emerges from this kind of fighting has the most gold content.
The terrible thing is that there is no such thing as the league champion automatically locking the seeded team in the Champions League group draw.
According to the rules of the Champions League, all 32 teams entering the group stage must be grouped and determined with reference to past European war points.
Atletico Madrid is actually quite good. They have played in the UEFA Cup in four of the past five years and even won the championship last season. However, their results in other years have not been very satisfactory.
Previously, Yang Hao specifically checked UEFA's European War points rankings, and initially estimated that Atletico Madrid would be ranked at the bottom of the second tier, or at the top of the third tier. The specifics can only be determined after the results of the peripheral qualifiers are released.
But no matter what, the group stage is definitely not going to be easy.
By the way, the four teams representing La Liga in the Champions League this season are Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Deportivo La Coruna and Real Mallorca.
Yes, Aragones' team relied on a wave of winning streak at the last moment of last season to surpass Barcelona and Valencia one after another and successfully broke into the top four of the league.
In fact, there is nothing surprising. Mallorca’s European war points are higher than Atletico Madrid. From reaching the Cup Winners’ Cup final when Cooper was coaching to the subsequent UEFA Cup, Mallorca’s European war attendance rate has always been quite stable. .
It can be said that Atletico Madrid's new season has been a devil's schedule from the beginning.
……
Before the team's training camp, Yang Hao and the coaching staff had held meetings in Mahadahonda for several days to repeatedly communicate and study the training camp for the new season.
Not only the team's physical reserve training and physical control throughout the season, but also the team's tactics and changes in the new season because Graveson left the team.
Last season, Graveson was a very important player in Atletico Madrid's midfield.
To a certain extent, he provides the team with hardness and interception.
Without Gravesen, how will we play in the new season?
Yang Hao also hopes to further unleash the creativity of the midfield, such as changing to 433, which will bring some variables.
There is no so-called good or bad tactics in football, only appropriate or inappropriate.
For example, last season's Atletico Madrid, what was the biggest benefit of having 4231's double midfielder?
It means that Deco can attack without any scruples and the wingers can attack without any scruples.
Because they know that there are teammates behind them to help them.
In the 433 tactic, the three midfielders are actually three midfielders from the beginning.
For example, when Rijkaard coached Barcelona, what was the configuration of the three midfielders?
Xavi, Deco and the late Marcos or Edmilson etc.
Note that Harvey has always been a fourth-position midfielder in these years, and so has Gabri.
Of course, the so-called three defensive midfielders do not all squat in front of the defense line to protect, no.
Player positions on the court are flexible.
For example, AC Milan played 4312, also with three midfielders. Pirlo, who is responsible for organization, is at the end, and Gattuso, who is responsible for defense, is further forward to sweep and protect.
So the question is, what is the difference between double midfielders and single midfielders?
The answer is actually obvious.
The current mainstream single midfielders are Guardiola and Redondo.Including Barcelona's repeated attempts with Xavi, Gabri and others, they are all heading this way.
That is, offense and defense are integrated.
But soon, everyone discovered that it is difficult to find a single defensive midfielder like Guardiola and Redondo in the world who can not only defend, organize and pass, but also have an almost perfect match.
Therefore, the only choice is double midfielders.
So far, in European football, who else is using a single defensive midfielder?
The first thing Yang Hao thought of was Manchester United and Arsenal, because they have Roy Keane and Vieira.
Since a single defensive midfielder needs to integrate offense and defense, they are faster and more efficient when switching offense and defense.
From the moment it was born, the position of deep-lying midfielder was not just for defense.
More importantly, to organize and launch the attack.
Therefore, in European football, the standard for measuring a top defensive midfielder is never how strong or outstanding his defense is, but whether he can provide a stable ball.
This is why Gattuso, Essien and others cannot play as defensive midfielders.
Makelele, Mascherano and others can do it, and even Pirlo, Xabi Alonso and Cambiaso can do it.
From this point we can see the clues.
The efficiency of a single defensive midfielder is that it is faster than that of a double defensive midfielder, and it can also release a midfielder standing in a more open area.
Just like Atletico Madrid.
If Cambiasso or Xabi Alonso is used as a single defensive midfielder, Baraja can be released.
At that time, Baraja will be able to more actively engage in post-attack attacks and further unleash his offensive power and creativity.
Then the problems that follow are obvious.
defense.
From a double midfielder to a single midfielder, the defense in the area between the central midfielder and the back line has been significantly weakened.
How to deal with it?
The answer is also obvious.
Expand the range of activities of the central midfielder, increase the intensity of on-the-spot counterattacks and pressing pressure in the midfield and frontcourt, and reduce the number and ability of the opponent to directly attack this area.
"More importantly, you can take a look. If we change to 433, our two wings will have more space to play, and their personal abilities will be better released. This will be good for our offense. It’s a very big advantage.”
Isn’t the biggest advantage of Vicente, Reyes and Joaquin their personal abilities?
The change from 4231 to 433 is not only a change in tactics, but also a transformation in Yang Hao's philosophy.
He wants to play attacking football!
"Actually, this past season, I have been thinking about a problem. Sometimes in some games, we clearly had the advantage, but our offense was not very ideal, whether it was the advancement of the ball or the passing and cutting of the players. Cooperate."
"Then one day, it suddenly occurred to me that because we had two players restricted to the area between the central midfielder and the back line, there was not enough support for the frontcourt."
"With one less contact point, you can imagine how many opportunities we missed for pass-cutting cooperation?"
In this transmission-cutting coordination system, every time a connection point is added, the success rate, efficiency, and speed of coordination will increase exponentially.
Confining the double midfielders ensures defensive stability, but also weakens the offense.
These are two sides of the same coin.
In the past, Atletico Madrid was unstable as a whole and had just been established. Of course, stability was the main focus, but now, Yang Hao is more demanding.
"I understand!" Juanma Lillo understood what Yang Hao meant.
He is a loyal believer in 4231, but he can also understand and understand what Yang Hao is thinking.
As an assistant coach, his number one task is to help Yang Hao improve his tactics and train players.
……
Yang Hao feels that he has never been a very smart person, but his advantage is that he is good at reflection.
Well, don’t get me wrong, it’s not the kind of reflection you think, but a real reflection.
For example, in his previous life, before time travel, he committed suicide and wrote a book about national football and went to his grandma's house, but he never thought about time travel at all, okay?At that time, he had obviously thought of a great idea and was planning to write a new book.
Moreover, he made up his mind at that time that the new book would never involve any content about the national football team.
But who would have thought that he would travel through time.
After traveling back in time, he continued this habit, often reflecting and summarizing. After every game and every season, he would conduct an in-depth review, sum up experiences and lessons, and improve the mistakes he made.
After entering July, the most important job for Yang Hao and the coaching staff is this.
In the long season, Atletico Madrid has made many mistakes. Some of them are inevitable, so we need to think about how to minimize the impact. Some are caused by mistakes, so we need to think about how not to make similar mistakes...
Since there will be records after every previous game, it is not difficult for Yang Hao and the coaching staff to review the game even if a long time has passed. Then they will give different targeted opinions based on the situation and finally sort it out.
After all the problems, big and small, have been resolved, and then the compiled information will be sorted out again, it will almost be the content of Atletico Madrid's entire pre-season training and preparations.
After a season of running-in, Yang Hao has great trust in Juanma Lillo and other members of the coaching staff. This season, Yang Hao specially hired an additional technical coach.
That is Angel Valles from the A Coruña region in northern Spain.
This young coach, who is only 34 years old, has an unremarkable career. He was born in Deportivo La Coruna and later played in Ourense and Portugal's Chavez, but he really has no talent.
After retiring early, he took special courses in player training and became very comfortable on the coaching bench. However, due to his age and experience, he has always worked in low-level teams.
This time Atletico Madrid was recruiting, there were many applicants, and Yang Hao selected Angel Valles from thousands of candidates.
In addition to his work resume and many years of experience, as well as the Spanish Football Association's high praise of him, a very important point is that in Yang Hao's previous life, Valles later came to Liverpool as a technical coach and worked very well.
Even after Benitez was dismissed, Dalglish and Hodgson repeatedly retained him, and he did not join the Spanish national team until 12. His ability is indeed very outstanding.
A true technical master in FM2015.
When he first arrived, Angel Valles gave Yang Hao a generous gift.
He spent just a few days sorting out the technical information of all Atletico Madrid players last season and conducting grid analysis.
For example, Adriano, Valles divided all his goals into different areas and pointed out the different problems exposed by Adriano in different areas, including footwork, shooting skills, angle selection, etc. wait.
Through this round of analysis, he told Yang Hao that Adriano still has a lot of room for improvement.
After reading his report, Yang Hao was completely reassured by him and immediately gave Adriano special training, including shooting, right footing and free kicks.
In addition, there are other players such as Didier Drogba. Yang Hao handed over the responsibility to Valles. At the same time, he also listened to Valles' request and added several more high-definition cameras with different angles on the training ground.
According to Bales, if you want to analyze a player's technical moves, you must use video.
……
Since last year, Yang Hao has attached great importance to player placement.
There was a large-scale reorganization last season, with many new players and many problems encountered. However, the club has also improved the process. This year, there are only 4 new players in total. Among them, Simeone is an old acquaintance, so he can naturally handle it better.
In particular, Yang Hao pays more attention to the placement of foreign players such as Drogba and Forlan.
I still remember in my previous life, when Drogba first joined Chelsea, he was thrown into a hotel for a long time and separated from his family for a long time.
An interesting thing happened during this period, that is, Drogba was buying a house in London. As a result, the houses that the real estate agency found for him were all those with a price of several million to 1000 million pounds. The reason is that all football stars buy such houses.
Before Drogba joined Chelsea, the first house he bought in Marseille, France, was only 50 euros.
This fully exposed Chelsea's poor player placement, and Yang Hao has attached great importance to this aspect since last year.
The players haven't been settled yet, how do you get them to quickly integrate and play for the team?
But even so, there were some "accidents" on the first day of training.
When the four new players Drogba, Diego Forlan, Marchena and Simeone appeared at the training ground, they were wearing long-distance running shoes instead of football shoes.
Although everyone made fun of them, it passed quickly. On the contrary, as the captains of the team, Aguilera and Baraja were severely "criticized" by Yang Hao and were fined for running laps after training.
"This is because you didn't do your job well!"
Both captains accepted the punishment obediently.
The four new players also immediately understood that unlike other teams that often run for half an hour or even an hour, Atletico Madrid's training rarely involves such long runs, and it is more about training with the ball.
But after the training, there will be a long-distance run to improve physical fitness. It is not long, but due to the high intensity of the training, everyone is exhausted by the end of the training. You can imagine the pressure of running long-distance at this time.
When they first arrived, they also felt the difference between Atletico Madrid and other clubs.
The summer training camp kicked off in this atmosphere.
……
When Atletico Madrid began their summer training camp in Mahdajonda, the Spanish transfer market began to reach its climax.
After selling Mendieta, Valencia forcibly retained Kili Gonzalez.
The Argentinian player attracted attention from many wealthy teams, including Lazio and Inter Milan, but Valencia forced him to stay with the team and refused to sell him.
On the other hand, the Bat Legion once again made an offer to Atletico Madrid, increasing Baraja to 2500 million euros.
This transfer offer is already quite good.
But Atletico Madrid still rejected Valencia's request.
Valencia chairman Cortez made a call to Atletico Madrid general manager Xiao Hill, hoping that Atletico Madrid could relax. Anyway, they had already signed Simeone, so they would let Baraja go to Valencia.
For this reason, the Bat Corps is willing to increase its offer to 3000 million euros.
Valencia, who is eager to seek talents, is full of sincerity, and both Xiao Hill and Cerezo are a little tempted.
You know, a scorer like Hasselbaink last season was only sold for 3000 million euros. The price for a midfielder to be sold as a forward is already very outrageous.
But Yang Hao once again rejected the offer for Baraja and made it clear that Atletico Madrid would not sell!
He also specifically accepted interviews with Spanish media reporters and once again reiterated Atletico Madrid's determination to retain Baraja.
Yang Hao also chatted with Baraja for a while, communicating with him about the situation of the new season, including his plan to change the formation and push Baraja's position further forward, which made Baraja very looking forward to it. .
Baraja has also repeatedly emphasized that he has no intention of joining Valencia.
As one of the best players last season and the team's captain on the field, Baraja is loved by Atletico Madrid fans. This time the club can resist the temptation of a huge transfer fee and retain Baraja, regardless of It was well received by both fans and media circles.
After the summer training camp started, Yang Hao was very surprised by another player in the Atletico Madrid team.
That's Evra.
As early as the first day of training, Evra took the initiative to find Yang Hao.
He told the coach that this summer, he returned to Paris, France for a vacation and had many conversations with his mother.
“This gave me a new direction!”
Last season, after an amazing start, Evra's performance gradually declined. In the end, he was reduced to Aurelio's substitute and was suppressed for a full season, so that many people later ignored Evra's existence. .
But Yang Hao has always given him opportunities, but in some important games, he basically chooses Aurelio.
Evra himself knows where the problem lies.
During this long vacation, he calmly clarified his thoughts and received psychological counseling for himself. He knew exactly what he wanted and what he should do.
"Boss, I promise not to let you down again!" Evra promised loudly.
Judging from the training, Yang Hao discovered that Evra, the desperate and desperate player from last season, was back.
Whether in daily training or in the subsequent warm-up matches, Evra performed extremely tough, just like at the beginning of the season, he was really willing to risk his life.
The only difference is that he no longer screams that he wants to kill Juanma.
This made Yang Hao feel very uncomfortable.
"I still prefer Evra from last season, for no other reason than just to listen." Yang Hao joked.
Except for Juanma Lillo, everyone around him was laughing. Only the newcomer Angel Valles was confused, but after Parales explained, he also understood the cause and effect of the matter. , looked at Juanma Lillo with great sympathy.
It’s not easy to be an assistant coach!
……
For this year's warm-up matches, Yang Hao still arranged 6 games, 3 of which were for teams from lower-level leagues, and the remaining 3 were for teams from the Portuguese Super League, Bundesliga and Premier League. Atletico Madrid were all away games.
After 6 warm-up matches, Atletico Madrid's results are still quite average.
2 win, 2 draws and 2 losses.
Lost to Newcastle in the Premier League and Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga.
Yang Hao thought it was nothing, because almost every game of these 6 games used at least two or three different sets of tactics. He also took this opportunity to play 433, 4321, 4312, and even 442 in turn.
The only thing is that the main lineup of last season, 4231, was not used.
When answering questions from media reporters, Yang Hao jokingly said: "I am already so familiar with it, there is no need to practice anymore."
The most outrageous thing is that in a game against a third-tier league team, Yang Hao directly played as a double center for a while, using Adriano to cooperate with Drogba.
In just half an hour or so, everyone saw the football flying around in the sky, left, right, midfield, backcourt...
The two beast-level centers in the frontcourt scored 30 goals in just 4 minutes. This was because their header efficiency was too low. Otherwise, they could have scored more.
After the game, the opponent's head coach found Yang Hao with an expression as if he had just cried.
"Spanish football has never seen you bullying people like this!"
Yang Hao hurriedly comforted him, saying that he was trying out tactics and rehearsing his style of play.
This is mainly due to the poor defensive level of the opponent. If you encounter a team with better defense in La Liga, the efficiency of this style of play may not be very high.
The exception is one certain shorter team.
Yang Hao was even thinking: Last season our Atletico Madrid team failed halfway through its business, and this time we are making a comeback, vowing to take away the title of the top team in La Liga.
Such a strong winger, such a strong center, such a strong long pass...
Who else would I choose as the head coach?
……
When Yang Hao led the team to prepare for the game in Madrid, European football was also not idle.
During the suspension of the league, the media also began to become restless.
For example, the British Sun newspaper recently launched a selection called Sexy 11 people.
The selection guests are the most famous page three girls of The Sun. They can select the 11 sexiest players and head coaches in each position.
Needless to say, Beckham, Zidane, and Nesta were all selected.
What surprised everyone the most was that the head coaches actually chose Yang Hao, and they were far ahead.
Jordan, who claims to have slept all over the Manchester United dressing room, unabashedly revealed that the one she wanted to conquer most was Yang Hao.
“I wanted to experience how good he was at coaching in bed.”
In the selection of a well-known European fashion website, Yang Hao also ranked third among the most attractive men in football, second only to Beckham and Figo.
But their comments made Yang Hao feel very dissatisfied.
Because this website stated that Yang Hao, who is only 26 years old, is a real playboy. In just about a year and a half, he has dated a Spanish lady, a world-class supermodel and a Hollywood actress, and his relationship is very inconsistent.
"As a typical example of men who are not bad and women who are not loved, Yang Hao has many female fans in Spain and European football. They are like moths to a flame and devote themselves to him without hesitation."
When this website called Atletico Madrid, hoping to go to Madrid's Majadahonda to present the award to Yang Hao, Yang Hao gave them a one-word reply.
roll!
Why are labor and management so frivolous?Why is the relationship no longer exclusive?
I'm obviously very dedicated, okay?
Isn't it a beautiful thing for two people to be together and truly love each other?
If you don't love me anymore, then don't force it and break up, right?
Could it be said that after a breakup, you can no longer have a girlfriend?
It’s been 1002 years, yet we still need to erect a chastity arch?
But Yang Hao is not all gossip.
UEFA has announced the list of candidates for the best awards in European competitions last season.
As the UEFA Cup champion, Atletico Madrid is not qualified to compete with those strong Champions League teams for awards, but as the head coach of the UEFA Cup, Yang Hao still nominated the best coach in Europe.
Also shortlisted were Bayern coach Hitzfeld, who eventually won the championship, and Real Madrid coach Del Bosque.
Yang Hao was very surprised. Cooper, who led Valencia to the Champions League final, was not shortlisted, but Del Bosque was. What a shady story!
Proper shady!
More importantly, this award definitely has nothing to do with him. It is just a walk with Heathfield.
Just after the UEFA nomination list was announced, Real Madrid announced that it had signed Fabio Cannavaro from Parma for a sky-high price of 4500 million euros, surpassing Thuram.
The protracted transfer negotiations have finally been settled, but it also shocked the entire European football world.
Especially Yang Hao.
Florentino actually signed a defender!
I'm still holding on, just so you can kill me with your monthly tickets!
(End of this chapter)
Speaking of which, many people may not believe it.
This is Mel Villa's first visit to the capital Madrid.
With his proud son David Villa came.
They are just playing an outpost, and then the wife and daughter will come over.
Atletico will help them find jobs in Madrid, which will not be difficult for Atletico.
It is said that this is also a major contribution of Yang Hao.
In the past year, the social software LINE has become more and more popular, with registered users rising steadily. As the first cooperative company, Atletico Madrid has launched a variety of functions and services.
One of them is that Mahdajonda's three player placement staff have established many groups on hand, including the work of players' families, and have cooperated with many companies and stores founded by Atletico Madrid fans around Madrid.
For Atletico Madrid, it is just a matter of sorting out the information about Villa's parents and family members. After posting it, they will quickly get a positive response, and then select them and leave it to Villa's family to make their own choices.
In fact, it is quite popular to hire family members of Atletico Madrid players.
Atletico Madrid's driver picked them up at the train station. They first went to the Calderon Stadium to visit, but they couldn't go to Atletico Madrid's office because it was like a war there. It was very busy and no one had time to greet them.
They came directly to Mahadahonda.
Unlike Calderon's busyness, Mahadajonda is still quiet.
"The season training hasn't started yet. Once the players leave, it will be lively. There are a lot of reporters every day." The driver said proudly from the front row.
After a pause, he looked in the rearview mirror and saw a young man sitting in the back seat who looked very quiet.
"Young man, when you come to Atletico Madrid, as long as you play a good game, you will become the hero of the whole city tomorrow!"
Villa's eyes flashed with enthusiasm, and he nodded and said, "I will work hard."
"Mr. Yang Hao attaches great importance to you. He personally asked me to pick you up and asked me not to be late." The driver said a few words.
Villa looked at his father, and all of them had a feeling of being valued.
But this driver is always late?
Not long ago, Atletico Madrid just signed a car sponsorship agreement with Audi.
Therefore, everyone in the Atletico Madrid team is now equipped with Audi, including the club’s welcome car.
"As soon as you establish yourself in the first team, you will also get an Audi."
"Free?" Mel Villa felt unbelievable.
This car is not cheap.
"Of course, you can choose from all the car models, but in theory they are borrowed, and after you transfer and leave the team, you have to return them to the sponsor."
"That's not bad." Mel Villa was a little excited.
Men have very special feelings towards cars.
Mahadahonda is not big, but it is much better than Sporting Gijon’s training base.
The driver said that this was the result of transformation and improvement after Yang Hao's coaching. It was even worse before.
When they entered the gate of Mahadahonda, they happened to see a large truck parked at the entrance of the training building to unload goods. Workers were constantly moving things inside, and the truck's compartment had the Nike logo on it.
"What is that?" Villa asked curiously.
"Oh, it's also our newly signed sponsor, Nike in the United States. They have moved in new season jerseys, sneakers, sports shoes, etc. Everyone can choose as they please."
"So many, all?" Mel Villa was surprised again.
He has heard of the Nike brand. It is a big international brand and the price is not cheap.
"This is the benefit of being a sponsor. There will definitely be more cooperation at the beginning. In the future, a lot of new products will be sent out every month. Our players are randomly selected, and so are the staff."
"All for free?" Mel Villa was a little surprised.
"Of course, we still ask Nike to collect money."
"You use their things and you ask them to pay you?"
"That's what sponsorship is like."
The driver quickly parked the car and took the father and son out of the car. He happened to see a middle-aged Spanish man recording and making arrangements on the side of the truck.
"Hey, Ramon."
"Hello." Ramon replied without even turning his head as he was busy counting.
"He is our equipment manager. Later you have to ask him for a form and fill in your information, including the size of sneakers, jerseys, etc. Anyway, he is responsible for all the club's equipment, and he will prepare it for you. OK."
This sentence was spoken to Villa.
Before, at Sporting Gijon, they didn't have such benefits.
This should be the difference between big teams and small teams.
"You said, I can get these jerseys and sneakers, so can I get a few more sets?" Mel Villa asked timidly.
"Send someone?"
Mel Villa's thoughts were seen through, and he scratched his head in embarrassment, "That's right."
"Of course it's no problem, but I definitely won't let anyone take it. If it's not too much, it doesn't matter."
After a pause, the driver taught two more tricks, "Actually, as long as you perform well, there will be many sponsors looking for you. When the time comes, whatever you want or like, there will be sponsors rushing to give it to you."
"real or fake?"
"Isn't that right? Doesn't our head coach always wear a suit?"
"Ah."
"In the past year, the big international brands have sent him countless sets of hundreds or even thousands of euros, several or even dozens of sets of different styles and colors. Before, he saw that my body shape was different. He was almost the same and even gave me a set as a gift." After saying that, the driver laughed proudly.
"There are also leather shoes and so on. The head coach used to live in Mahadahonda. Those brands were sent to the security room outside. Sometimes they were so full that I couldn't finish them every day."
Villa and his son were stunned.
Is this La Liga?
They used to think that La Liga was just about playing football and getting paid, but they didn’t expect that there were so many benefits?
Villa had just stepped into this world, and he was amazed in his heart.
But he would definitely not believe it if he could give anything.
You can’t give it to your girlfriend or wife, right?
This made Villa feel better.
He has a very good girlfriend at home, and he wants to work hard at playing football and marry her back home.
……
"I'm glad to see you here, David."
Yang Hao received Villa and his son in the office.
Although Mel seemed a bit bold when he was in Tuila, when he left the coal mining area and came to the big capital, he seemed a bit reserved, but pretended to be calm.
In fact, many thoughts cannot be hidden from others.
On the contrary, David Villa is very good at calming down.
Calmness, this is the basic quality that a top killer must have.
If he panics when encountering the slightest situation, then this kind of player will be finished when he comes on the field.
"Sir, I hope to be helped and promoted in your team, and I will work hard." Villa said sincerely.
Yang Hao smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, the atmosphere in our locker room is good."
For Villa, Yang Hao's arrangement is to train with the first team, and mainly play with the second team in the second division. After adapting to the team first, he will find opportunities to improve himself. Yang Hao will also arrange more game time for him to practice. .
At present, Atletico Madrid's lineup still has some problems, namely in the position of right winger Joaquín.
Last season, Joaquin's substitutes were Reyes and Aguilera, and Torres could also play occasionally.
For young players, Yang Hao actually hopes that they will try more different positions. This will not only improve their comprehensiveness, but also help them better understand the playing methods of different positions on the court.
It can be said that this model has been proven countless times in 2023, and it is really effective.
Villa's arrival can give the left and right wingers one more option.
Diego Forlan can actually try to play these two positions. The configuration of a center and two scorer wingers will appear more offensive. Yang Hao has always wanted to find an opportunity to try it.
Looking at all European leagues, especially the four top leagues, every team attaches great importance to local players.
This is not only due to the restrictions on registration and appearance quotas, but more importantly, the sense of identity.
For example, Gravesen decided to go to Leeds United because he had no cultural identity with La Liga.
The most cultural identity thing is the own youth training, followed by local players, and then others.
Yang Hao once saw a saying in his previous life. If there were no restrictions on foreign aid, almost all the teams in the four major European leagues would be occupied by foreign aid.
This is not a lie, but a fact.
Because from the perspective of the entire group, the strength of foreign players, especially the strength of South American foreign players, is far stronger than that of local players.
Otherwise, why bother asking for foreign aid?
But the rules are limited, and in addition to taking care of local fans, local players are naturally needed.
Therefore, in any league, outstanding local players are very expensive and very scarce.
The more competitive the league is and the stronger the team, the narrower the selection of local players they face, and naturally the more expensive they are.
This is the reason why anyone who comes out of England can earn a sky-high price.
Household registration books are available everywhere and are expensive everywhere.
In Spain, outstanding local players like Villa, Torres, Ramos, and David Silva are themselves very expensive and scarce goods.
Therefore, Barcelona could pay 4000 million euros for Villa, who was nearly thirty years old.
This summer, Real Madrid and Barcelona are also willing to pay sky-high prices for Mendieta. This is the logic behind it.
Precisely because of this, the top giants will pay more attention to youth training and the more willing they are to invest in youth training.
Similar to the old Hill's disbandment of a certain youth team in order to save money, and directly gave his own genius Raul to his neighbor's mortal enemy, it is really very rare.
Therefore, Yang Hao not only needs to introduce excellent foreign players, but also high-level local players.
There is no way, why has Atletico Madrid not paid attention to youth training in the past few years?
Since last year, Atletico Madrid has increased its investment in youth training, but youth training requires perseverance, because no one knows when it will bear fruit.
Ajax's golden generation, Real Madrid's Five Eagles era, Barcelona's Dream Team, and Manchester United's Class [-], these cannot be copied in batches and can only rely on long-term and continuous investment.
Once it accumulates to a certain point, it will naturally come out.
If nothing else, standing in 2001 now, who dares to believe that Spanish football will lead the world trend in 10 years?
When Beckenbauer and others were reforming Germany's youth training, they didn't dare to say in which year they would achieve results, right?
Youth training can only improve the lower limit of your competitiveness. Sometimes the upper limit really depends on luck.
Class [-] came out this time, and it was the Red Devils Manchester United.
If Manchester United had really been sold to Murdoch of News Corporation in 97, and this world-class rich man was waving his money to buy and buy, and sent away all the youth training of Class [-], then there would definitely be no Class [-], then And the Red Devils Manchester United?
Yang Hao has always felt that the most fascinating thing about football is that every game, every team, every player, and every goal is unique and cannot be copied.
……
Due to the 02 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, the league schedule for the new season has been compressed.
The first round of La Liga starts on August 8, but as the double champion of La Liga and UEFA Cup last season, Atletico Madrid's start to the new season is more difficult than other teams.
It can almost be said that it was a hit right from the start.
Because they have to play two rounds of the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup.
The opponent of the Spanish Super Cup is Celta Vigo. This team defeated the relegated team Zaragoza in last season's Copa del Rey final, avoiding the embarrassment of the Spanish second division team playing in the UEFA Cup.
But this also brought greater trouble to Atletico Madrid.
Not to mention the European Super Cup, the opponent is the Champions League champion Bayern Munich.
According to the schedule, except for Real Mallorca, which ranked fourth in the league last season, and has to play two rounds of Champions League qualifying rounds in advance, other teams only need to play one La Liga first round before September.
But Atletico Madrid will play 4 games at the end of August.
It can be said that it was a series of tough battles from the beginning.
After two weeks of national team matches, September will be the beginning of the alternation between La Liga and the Champions League group stages, both of which are double matches a week.
In Yang Hao's previous life, the Champions League group stage was usually from September to December, with 9 rounds of games completed, and the top 12 knockout rounds starting in February of the following year. But now it is two rounds of group stage, with 6 games.
The first round is from September to mid-November, and the second round is from late November to March.
This kind of schedule is really intensive and scary.
Not only Yang Hao, but also Atletico Madrid's coaching team has encountered such a dense and devilish schedule for the first time.
Especially when entering the second round of the group stage, the top two teams from the first round were all put into four groups to fight.
Those 16 teams are all the strongest and best teams in Europe.
You can think about how cruel the competition is.
But the champion who emerges from this kind of fighting has the most gold content.
The terrible thing is that there is no such thing as the league champion automatically locking the seeded team in the Champions League group draw.
According to the rules of the Champions League, all 32 teams entering the group stage must be grouped and determined with reference to past European war points.
Atletico Madrid is actually quite good. They have played in the UEFA Cup in four of the past five years and even won the championship last season. However, their results in other years have not been very satisfactory.
Previously, Yang Hao specifically checked UEFA's European War points rankings, and initially estimated that Atletico Madrid would be ranked at the bottom of the second tier, or at the top of the third tier. The specifics can only be determined after the results of the peripheral qualifiers are released.
But no matter what, the group stage is definitely not going to be easy.
By the way, the four teams representing La Liga in the Champions League this season are Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Deportivo La Coruna and Real Mallorca.
Yes, Aragones' team relied on a wave of winning streak at the last moment of last season to surpass Barcelona and Valencia one after another and successfully broke into the top four of the league.
In fact, there is nothing surprising. Mallorca’s European war points are higher than Atletico Madrid. From reaching the Cup Winners’ Cup final when Cooper was coaching to the subsequent UEFA Cup, Mallorca’s European war attendance rate has always been quite stable. .
It can be said that Atletico Madrid's new season has been a devil's schedule from the beginning.
……
Before the team's training camp, Yang Hao and the coaching staff had held meetings in Mahadahonda for several days to repeatedly communicate and study the training camp for the new season.
Not only the team's physical reserve training and physical control throughout the season, but also the team's tactics and changes in the new season because Graveson left the team.
Last season, Graveson was a very important player in Atletico Madrid's midfield.
To a certain extent, he provides the team with hardness and interception.
Without Gravesen, how will we play in the new season?
Yang Hao also hopes to further unleash the creativity of the midfield, such as changing to 433, which will bring some variables.
There is no so-called good or bad tactics in football, only appropriate or inappropriate.
For example, last season's Atletico Madrid, what was the biggest benefit of having 4231's double midfielder?
It means that Deco can attack without any scruples and the wingers can attack without any scruples.
Because they know that there are teammates behind them to help them.
In the 433 tactic, the three midfielders are actually three midfielders from the beginning.
For example, when Rijkaard coached Barcelona, what was the configuration of the three midfielders?
Xavi, Deco and the late Marcos or Edmilson etc.
Note that Harvey has always been a fourth-position midfielder in these years, and so has Gabri.
Of course, the so-called three defensive midfielders do not all squat in front of the defense line to protect, no.
Player positions on the court are flexible.
For example, AC Milan played 4312, also with three midfielders. Pirlo, who is responsible for organization, is at the end, and Gattuso, who is responsible for defense, is further forward to sweep and protect.
So the question is, what is the difference between double midfielders and single midfielders?
The answer is actually obvious.
The current mainstream single midfielders are Guardiola and Redondo.Including Barcelona's repeated attempts with Xavi, Gabri and others, they are all heading this way.
That is, offense and defense are integrated.
But soon, everyone discovered that it is difficult to find a single defensive midfielder like Guardiola and Redondo in the world who can not only defend, organize and pass, but also have an almost perfect match.
Therefore, the only choice is double midfielders.
So far, in European football, who else is using a single defensive midfielder?
The first thing Yang Hao thought of was Manchester United and Arsenal, because they have Roy Keane and Vieira.
Since a single defensive midfielder needs to integrate offense and defense, they are faster and more efficient when switching offense and defense.
From the moment it was born, the position of deep-lying midfielder was not just for defense.
More importantly, to organize and launch the attack.
Therefore, in European football, the standard for measuring a top defensive midfielder is never how strong or outstanding his defense is, but whether he can provide a stable ball.
This is why Gattuso, Essien and others cannot play as defensive midfielders.
Makelele, Mascherano and others can do it, and even Pirlo, Xabi Alonso and Cambiaso can do it.
From this point we can see the clues.
The efficiency of a single defensive midfielder is that it is faster than that of a double defensive midfielder, and it can also release a midfielder standing in a more open area.
Just like Atletico Madrid.
If Cambiasso or Xabi Alonso is used as a single defensive midfielder, Baraja can be released.
At that time, Baraja will be able to more actively engage in post-attack attacks and further unleash his offensive power and creativity.
Then the problems that follow are obvious.
defense.
From a double midfielder to a single midfielder, the defense in the area between the central midfielder and the back line has been significantly weakened.
How to deal with it?
The answer is also obvious.
Expand the range of activities of the central midfielder, increase the intensity of on-the-spot counterattacks and pressing pressure in the midfield and frontcourt, and reduce the number and ability of the opponent to directly attack this area.
"More importantly, you can take a look. If we change to 433, our two wings will have more space to play, and their personal abilities will be better released. This will be good for our offense. It’s a very big advantage.”
Isn’t the biggest advantage of Vicente, Reyes and Joaquin their personal abilities?
The change from 4231 to 433 is not only a change in tactics, but also a transformation in Yang Hao's philosophy.
He wants to play attacking football!
"Actually, this past season, I have been thinking about a problem. Sometimes in some games, we clearly had the advantage, but our offense was not very ideal, whether it was the advancement of the ball or the passing and cutting of the players. Cooperate."
"Then one day, it suddenly occurred to me that because we had two players restricted to the area between the central midfielder and the back line, there was not enough support for the frontcourt."
"With one less contact point, you can imagine how many opportunities we missed for pass-cutting cooperation?"
In this transmission-cutting coordination system, every time a connection point is added, the success rate, efficiency, and speed of coordination will increase exponentially.
Confining the double midfielders ensures defensive stability, but also weakens the offense.
These are two sides of the same coin.
In the past, Atletico Madrid was unstable as a whole and had just been established. Of course, stability was the main focus, but now, Yang Hao is more demanding.
"I understand!" Juanma Lillo understood what Yang Hao meant.
He is a loyal believer in 4231, but he can also understand and understand what Yang Hao is thinking.
As an assistant coach, his number one task is to help Yang Hao improve his tactics and train players.
……
Yang Hao feels that he has never been a very smart person, but his advantage is that he is good at reflection.
Well, don’t get me wrong, it’s not the kind of reflection you think, but a real reflection.
For example, in his previous life, before time travel, he committed suicide and wrote a book about national football and went to his grandma's house, but he never thought about time travel at all, okay?At that time, he had obviously thought of a great idea and was planning to write a new book.
Moreover, he made up his mind at that time that the new book would never involve any content about the national football team.
But who would have thought that he would travel through time.
After traveling back in time, he continued this habit, often reflecting and summarizing. After every game and every season, he would conduct an in-depth review, sum up experiences and lessons, and improve the mistakes he made.
After entering July, the most important job for Yang Hao and the coaching staff is this.
In the long season, Atletico Madrid has made many mistakes. Some of them are inevitable, so we need to think about how to minimize the impact. Some are caused by mistakes, so we need to think about how not to make similar mistakes...
Since there will be records after every previous game, it is not difficult for Yang Hao and the coaching staff to review the game even if a long time has passed. Then they will give different targeted opinions based on the situation and finally sort it out.
After all the problems, big and small, have been resolved, and then the compiled information will be sorted out again, it will almost be the content of Atletico Madrid's entire pre-season training and preparations.
After a season of running-in, Yang Hao has great trust in Juanma Lillo and other members of the coaching staff. This season, Yang Hao specially hired an additional technical coach.
That is Angel Valles from the A Coruña region in northern Spain.
This young coach, who is only 34 years old, has an unremarkable career. He was born in Deportivo La Coruna and later played in Ourense and Portugal's Chavez, but he really has no talent.
After retiring early, he took special courses in player training and became very comfortable on the coaching bench. However, due to his age and experience, he has always worked in low-level teams.
This time Atletico Madrid was recruiting, there were many applicants, and Yang Hao selected Angel Valles from thousands of candidates.
In addition to his work resume and many years of experience, as well as the Spanish Football Association's high praise of him, a very important point is that in Yang Hao's previous life, Valles later came to Liverpool as a technical coach and worked very well.
Even after Benitez was dismissed, Dalglish and Hodgson repeatedly retained him, and he did not join the Spanish national team until 12. His ability is indeed very outstanding.
A true technical master in FM2015.
When he first arrived, Angel Valles gave Yang Hao a generous gift.
He spent just a few days sorting out the technical information of all Atletico Madrid players last season and conducting grid analysis.
For example, Adriano, Valles divided all his goals into different areas and pointed out the different problems exposed by Adriano in different areas, including footwork, shooting skills, angle selection, etc. wait.
Through this round of analysis, he told Yang Hao that Adriano still has a lot of room for improvement.
After reading his report, Yang Hao was completely reassured by him and immediately gave Adriano special training, including shooting, right footing and free kicks.
In addition, there are other players such as Didier Drogba. Yang Hao handed over the responsibility to Valles. At the same time, he also listened to Valles' request and added several more high-definition cameras with different angles on the training ground.
According to Bales, if you want to analyze a player's technical moves, you must use video.
……
Since last year, Yang Hao has attached great importance to player placement.
There was a large-scale reorganization last season, with many new players and many problems encountered. However, the club has also improved the process. This year, there are only 4 new players in total. Among them, Simeone is an old acquaintance, so he can naturally handle it better.
In particular, Yang Hao pays more attention to the placement of foreign players such as Drogba and Forlan.
I still remember in my previous life, when Drogba first joined Chelsea, he was thrown into a hotel for a long time and separated from his family for a long time.
An interesting thing happened during this period, that is, Drogba was buying a house in London. As a result, the houses that the real estate agency found for him were all those with a price of several million to 1000 million pounds. The reason is that all football stars buy such houses.
Before Drogba joined Chelsea, the first house he bought in Marseille, France, was only 50 euros.
This fully exposed Chelsea's poor player placement, and Yang Hao has attached great importance to this aspect since last year.
The players haven't been settled yet, how do you get them to quickly integrate and play for the team?
But even so, there were some "accidents" on the first day of training.
When the four new players Drogba, Diego Forlan, Marchena and Simeone appeared at the training ground, they were wearing long-distance running shoes instead of football shoes.
Although everyone made fun of them, it passed quickly. On the contrary, as the captains of the team, Aguilera and Baraja were severely "criticized" by Yang Hao and were fined for running laps after training.
"This is because you didn't do your job well!"
Both captains accepted the punishment obediently.
The four new players also immediately understood that unlike other teams that often run for half an hour or even an hour, Atletico Madrid's training rarely involves such long runs, and it is more about training with the ball.
But after the training, there will be a long-distance run to improve physical fitness. It is not long, but due to the high intensity of the training, everyone is exhausted by the end of the training. You can imagine the pressure of running long-distance at this time.
When they first arrived, they also felt the difference between Atletico Madrid and other clubs.
The summer training camp kicked off in this atmosphere.
……
When Atletico Madrid began their summer training camp in Mahdajonda, the Spanish transfer market began to reach its climax.
After selling Mendieta, Valencia forcibly retained Kili Gonzalez.
The Argentinian player attracted attention from many wealthy teams, including Lazio and Inter Milan, but Valencia forced him to stay with the team and refused to sell him.
On the other hand, the Bat Legion once again made an offer to Atletico Madrid, increasing Baraja to 2500 million euros.
This transfer offer is already quite good.
But Atletico Madrid still rejected Valencia's request.
Valencia chairman Cortez made a call to Atletico Madrid general manager Xiao Hill, hoping that Atletico Madrid could relax. Anyway, they had already signed Simeone, so they would let Baraja go to Valencia.
For this reason, the Bat Corps is willing to increase its offer to 3000 million euros.
Valencia, who is eager to seek talents, is full of sincerity, and both Xiao Hill and Cerezo are a little tempted.
You know, a scorer like Hasselbaink last season was only sold for 3000 million euros. The price for a midfielder to be sold as a forward is already very outrageous.
But Yang Hao once again rejected the offer for Baraja and made it clear that Atletico Madrid would not sell!
He also specifically accepted interviews with Spanish media reporters and once again reiterated Atletico Madrid's determination to retain Baraja.
Yang Hao also chatted with Baraja for a while, communicating with him about the situation of the new season, including his plan to change the formation and push Baraja's position further forward, which made Baraja very looking forward to it. .
Baraja has also repeatedly emphasized that he has no intention of joining Valencia.
As one of the best players last season and the team's captain on the field, Baraja is loved by Atletico Madrid fans. This time the club can resist the temptation of a huge transfer fee and retain Baraja, regardless of It was well received by both fans and media circles.
After the summer training camp started, Yang Hao was very surprised by another player in the Atletico Madrid team.
That's Evra.
As early as the first day of training, Evra took the initiative to find Yang Hao.
He told the coach that this summer, he returned to Paris, France for a vacation and had many conversations with his mother.
“This gave me a new direction!”
Last season, after an amazing start, Evra's performance gradually declined. In the end, he was reduced to Aurelio's substitute and was suppressed for a full season, so that many people later ignored Evra's existence. .
But Yang Hao has always given him opportunities, but in some important games, he basically chooses Aurelio.
Evra himself knows where the problem lies.
During this long vacation, he calmly clarified his thoughts and received psychological counseling for himself. He knew exactly what he wanted and what he should do.
"Boss, I promise not to let you down again!" Evra promised loudly.
Judging from the training, Yang Hao discovered that Evra, the desperate and desperate player from last season, was back.
Whether in daily training or in the subsequent warm-up matches, Evra performed extremely tough, just like at the beginning of the season, he was really willing to risk his life.
The only difference is that he no longer screams that he wants to kill Juanma.
This made Yang Hao feel very uncomfortable.
"I still prefer Evra from last season, for no other reason than just to listen." Yang Hao joked.
Except for Juanma Lillo, everyone around him was laughing. Only the newcomer Angel Valles was confused, but after Parales explained, he also understood the cause and effect of the matter. , looked at Juanma Lillo with great sympathy.
It’s not easy to be an assistant coach!
……
For this year's warm-up matches, Yang Hao still arranged 6 games, 3 of which were for teams from lower-level leagues, and the remaining 3 were for teams from the Portuguese Super League, Bundesliga and Premier League. Atletico Madrid were all away games.
After 6 warm-up matches, Atletico Madrid's results are still quite average.
2 win, 2 draws and 2 losses.
Lost to Newcastle in the Premier League and Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga.
Yang Hao thought it was nothing, because almost every game of these 6 games used at least two or three different sets of tactics. He also took this opportunity to play 433, 4321, 4312, and even 442 in turn.
The only thing is that the main lineup of last season, 4231, was not used.
When answering questions from media reporters, Yang Hao jokingly said: "I am already so familiar with it, there is no need to practice anymore."
The most outrageous thing is that in a game against a third-tier league team, Yang Hao directly played as a double center for a while, using Adriano to cooperate with Drogba.
In just half an hour or so, everyone saw the football flying around in the sky, left, right, midfield, backcourt...
The two beast-level centers in the frontcourt scored 30 goals in just 4 minutes. This was because their header efficiency was too low. Otherwise, they could have scored more.
After the game, the opponent's head coach found Yang Hao with an expression as if he had just cried.
"Spanish football has never seen you bullying people like this!"
Yang Hao hurriedly comforted him, saying that he was trying out tactics and rehearsing his style of play.
This is mainly due to the poor defensive level of the opponent. If you encounter a team with better defense in La Liga, the efficiency of this style of play may not be very high.
The exception is one certain shorter team.
Yang Hao was even thinking: Last season our Atletico Madrid team failed halfway through its business, and this time we are making a comeback, vowing to take away the title of the top team in La Liga.
Such a strong winger, such a strong center, such a strong long pass...
Who else would I choose as the head coach?
……
When Yang Hao led the team to prepare for the game in Madrid, European football was also not idle.
During the suspension of the league, the media also began to become restless.
For example, the British Sun newspaper recently launched a selection called Sexy 11 people.
The selection guests are the most famous page three girls of The Sun. They can select the 11 sexiest players and head coaches in each position.
Needless to say, Beckham, Zidane, and Nesta were all selected.
What surprised everyone the most was that the head coaches actually chose Yang Hao, and they were far ahead.
Jordan, who claims to have slept all over the Manchester United dressing room, unabashedly revealed that the one she wanted to conquer most was Yang Hao.
“I wanted to experience how good he was at coaching in bed.”
In the selection of a well-known European fashion website, Yang Hao also ranked third among the most attractive men in football, second only to Beckham and Figo.
But their comments made Yang Hao feel very dissatisfied.
Because this website stated that Yang Hao, who is only 26 years old, is a real playboy. In just about a year and a half, he has dated a Spanish lady, a world-class supermodel and a Hollywood actress, and his relationship is very inconsistent.
"As a typical example of men who are not bad and women who are not loved, Yang Hao has many female fans in Spain and European football. They are like moths to a flame and devote themselves to him without hesitation."
When this website called Atletico Madrid, hoping to go to Madrid's Majadahonda to present the award to Yang Hao, Yang Hao gave them a one-word reply.
roll!
Why are labor and management so frivolous?Why is the relationship no longer exclusive?
I'm obviously very dedicated, okay?
Isn't it a beautiful thing for two people to be together and truly love each other?
If you don't love me anymore, then don't force it and break up, right?
Could it be said that after a breakup, you can no longer have a girlfriend?
It’s been 1002 years, yet we still need to erect a chastity arch?
But Yang Hao is not all gossip.
UEFA has announced the list of candidates for the best awards in European competitions last season.
As the UEFA Cup champion, Atletico Madrid is not qualified to compete with those strong Champions League teams for awards, but as the head coach of the UEFA Cup, Yang Hao still nominated the best coach in Europe.
Also shortlisted were Bayern coach Hitzfeld, who eventually won the championship, and Real Madrid coach Del Bosque.
Yang Hao was very surprised. Cooper, who led Valencia to the Champions League final, was not shortlisted, but Del Bosque was. What a shady story!
Proper shady!
More importantly, this award definitely has nothing to do with him. It is just a walk with Heathfield.
Just after the UEFA nomination list was announced, Real Madrid announced that it had signed Fabio Cannavaro from Parma for a sky-high price of 4500 million euros, surpassing Thuram.
The protracted transfer negotiations have finally been settled, but it also shocked the entire European football world.
Especially Yang Hao.
Florentino actually signed a defender!
I'm still holding on, just so you can kill me with your monthly tickets!
