The Era of Emerald

After arriving in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, Zhuang Minge rented a car directly at the airport according to the address Basten told him before, and drove to Gufrenz's villa in the suburbs of Amsterdam.

Will Gufren, who played for the Lapad Club in the player era, once won the Dutch League Championship in the 1955-56 season as the captain of the team.After retiring, he became a full-time head coach and successively coached teams such as Roda jc, Sparta Rotterdam, Nijmegen, and Feyenoord.

Gufren's greatest honor as a coach was leading Feyenoord to win the Dutch League and the European Cup Winners' Cup double championship in the 1973-74 season.Neither Gufren's player career nor his head coach's resume can be regarded as brilliant or even lackluster. Even many senior Dutch fans have never heard of his name.

Gufren's greatest hobby is to read all kinds of sports books and articles, and then transfer the knowledge he learned from the books to the football field as much as possible.Gufren is scheming and has a deep city. When he was coaching the Nijmegen team, the players often gambled with darts and billiards.Gufren didn't know how to play when he first came to the club, so he spent four months secretly practicing darts and billiards without revealing a word.After practicing well, he won several players in a row, which made everyone look at him with admiration, which shows how deep he is.

The purpose of Gufrene’s tutorial is to cultivate players with super personal ability. In more popular terms, it is to cultivate players who “have the ability to decide the game in an instant”. Gufrene believes that such players can be systematically Trained out.At the same time, Gufren believes that the sense of the ball and the nature of the ball are paramount. "When a person controls the ball, he controls the opponent and thus controls the game."He asked the students to only practice skills and not tactics in the first few years of contact with football.Wait until the basic skills are almost mastered, and then start to instill tactical ideas.Gufren claimed that geniuses like Cruyff, Basten, and Ronaldinho would have a greater chance of being born in a cm environment.Even for players who can't reach this distance, through the training of this set of tutorials, their personal abilities can be greatly improved.

The CM course is widely circulated around the world, but it has not been widely recognized in the Netherlands, and not many people even know the term "cm".Some famous Dutch clubs such as Eindhoven and Ajax have also used cm training courses, but only for individual coaches.For the Dutch who advocate the "Michels" genre of total defense, the "Gufjen Tutorial" is really an unfamiliar concept to them.

Also in the 70s, Michels and Cruyff jointly created the world-famous "Total Attack and Total Defense" style of play.The Dutch's unique football tactics have attracted the attention of the world and called it "the third football revolution".Since then, "Total Attack and Total Defense" has become synonymous with Dutch football, and Michels' "tactical flow" has become a symbol of Dutch football.

For more than 20 years, the relationship between the technical flow advocated by Gufren and the tactical flow of Michels, as well as the social status of the two, have been influencing the development of Dutch football.

The "tactical flow" headed by Michels is sacred in the Netherlands. They emphasize formation, awareness, tactics, and team spirit.They believe that with these things, the team can be invincible.Players have been training and running since they were young. Too many fancy technical displays will be considered as a violation of the "principle of simplicity first" and will be banned by the coach.

Michels' view on players' personal skills is: all skills are learned through games, and the more games played, the better the skills will be mastered.There is no special guidance for the personal skills of ordinary players, because most coaches themselves do not know how to do it.Their take on the basic technique: "Whether it's one-on-one, or four-on-four. Just throw the ball in the middle and the players will learn to dribble on their own."

But in the youth training system, this kind of thinking is extremely wrong: a good dribble or header is like an Arabic numeral, such as 7, and he can only learn it if you teach him.But let him explore and discover the laws of Arabic numerals by himself, no matter how smart he is, it will be very difficult.

On the contrary, the "technical flow" headed by Gufren believes that personal technology is the first, and others are second. Only after mastering good technology can we talk about tactics.

The completely different views of Gufrenz and Michels have caused Dutch football to have a "qi sword dispute" similar to that described in Jin Yong's "Swordsman".Due to the sacred status of Michels and Kefenyff in the Netherlands, the "Airbender" has strictly controlled the Dutch Football Association for nearly 30 years, and at the same time, it has adopted an attitude of repelling and attacking Gufren's "Jianzong". .Therefore, in the Netherlands, Gufren's training courses have no room for survival, and can only be circulated among the people.As a result, many Dutch people do not know the "Gufren Tutorial"

The presence.

In the confrontation that lasted nearly 30 years, the two sides criticized each other, and collisions between you and me were indispensable.The Dutch Football Association's point of view is: CM is just turning around and spiking the ball, which is the evolution of street football and a useless little trick.

Therefore, although the Dutch Football Association has not explicitly prohibited it, it is discarding it in disguise: in various official football textbooks published by the Netherlands, the words "Gufren Tutorial" have never appeared, and it is directly regarded as non-existent.And Gufren also pointedly pointed out: The Dutch Football Association rejects CM because no one of them can master this system.Gufren once said: "Why did Michels refuse cm? Because he can't even live a cow!"

In 1985, Michels was entrusted by the Dutch Football Association to recruit people to compile Dutch football courses.It's unbelievable that there is no personal technical training section in the tutorial.

……

In a secluded villa in Amsterdam, Zhuang Mingge met this old man who had been marginalized in the Netherlands for the first time.

Compared with the domineering Michels, the 70-year-old Gufren looks more like a university professor.No matter what topic Zhuang Mingge talks to him, he will always bring it to football in the end.

Zhuang Mingge felt as if he had returned to his previous life, listening to the lectures given by those old professors in the university.

And Gufren obviously has not been listened to his speech so "seriously" for a long time. He said with great interest: "I think that players with strong personal abilities play a decisive role in the game. Michels this The old guy was able to succeed. Precisely because he had talent like Cruyff and Van Basten... Once you have players like that, it doesn't really matter what formation you use. Cruyff There's always an emphasis on 'simplicity first', but he forgets that a lot of his success with Ajax and the Dutch national team is due to his own individual quality..."

Zhuang Mingge peeked at his watch and found that the old man had been talking nonstop for two hours. For the "purpose" of his trip, Zhuang Minge had no choice but to interrupt the old man's speech.

"Well, Mr. Gufferen, we came to you this time because our team has a young player with very good talent. I hope to invite you to be his full-time coach and use your theory to train him into a young player." Football superstar."
