Super Coach

"Among the teams I have coached, no team has ever succeeded by blindly transferring!"

Outside the balcony of the coffee house on the top of the Park Lake Hotel on Lake Garda, under a parasol, Yang Cheng faced Canaris sitting opposite him and talked about his transfer strategy.

Manchester United, Chelsea, and even Arsenal have already begun to release the current arms race, but Liverpool has not much movement in the transfer market, which can not help but make people worry about Liverpool's prospects for the new season.

According to the statistics of the English media, Yang Cheng's first team is still 25 people, which can only be regarded as average in the Premier League team, and he brings 30 Italian training teams, of which 5 are Kirkby youth training The battalion teenagers are Walcott, Gareth Bale and Andy Carroll, as well as two players who are not well-known in their past lives, but they are very good.

In other words, Liverpool's first team will not have much movement this season. At best, it will promote some players from the second team and will not recruit as much as other teams.

"Since I took over Liverpool, I have formulated a detailed plan. In the first season, we spent the most money, the team was reorganized, and we introduced a group of very strong players; the second season , We spend a lot less money, more is the introduction of defects in certain positions of the team. "

"In my understanding, the arms race is completely unnecessary, and building up stars is never a long-term strategy. I think more about the technical and tactical needs of our team. When I took over Liverpool, I followed David Morse said that my contract is three years. In the final year, we may not need to buy a player. "

Speaking of which, Yang Cheng couldn't help laughing.

"You are now recognized in football, with the least amount of money, but can bring the greatest benefits to the team, have also succeeded in the small team and the big team, many people want to know, Do you have any tips for coaching? "

"No!" Yang Cheng shook his head. "If you insist that there is, it is because you love this sport, so you can devote yourself to this career. Although for many people, playing and coaching is a part Work, but for me, not only work, but also my greatest interest and fun. "

"Have you ever thought about what would you do if you stopped teaching one day?"

"It's too far away. I haven't thought about it yet. I'm only 33!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Canalis froze for a moment before she noticed that Yang Cheng was 33 years old.

Remember when he first met Yang Cheng, how old was he?

23. Yes, he was 23 years old that year and was the youngest head coach in the German professional league.

In a flash, ten years passed.

He doesn't have the kind of sharpness that he had ten years ago, and he didn't have the childishness that he had ten years ago. There is more veteran and stability, and there are more charms that belong to mature men, especially between speech and deeds. Kind of temperament.

"Have you never thought about it?" Canalis asked.

Opposite her and Yang Cheng was a camera, and the staff were filming the entire interview process.

"No!" Yang Cheng shook his head. "I rarely plan faraway things. I am very casual."

"A lot of people say that your success is full of chance, what do you think?" Canalis asked again.

"I confess!" Yang Cheng nodded. "I am lucky." At least he is the only traverser in the world.

"But if you feel lucky = success, then it is undoubtedly the idea of ​​some losers. I think my luck is because I became the head coach of a team by chance, but I don't think my success is accidental. Because of my hard work. "

This answer does not make people feel proud, nor does it degrade yourself.

"At the ceremony where Kolina announced his retirement, the legendary French star Platini said in an interview with Liverpool that Liverpool's championship is full of chances. I don't think Liverpool has any chance to defend the title successfully. Any response? "

Yang Cheng smiled and shook his head, "No response!"

After a pause, Yang Cheng said: "On our planet, there are a lot of sensational topics involving me every day. For example, La Bōerta of Barcelona recently said that he asked to buy Gerrard, but I know very well. , This is he deliberately hype, because he can not give so much money, poor one, what to buy? Platini also, I do not have the kind of idle time to deal with this voter, I care more about me team."

Canales likes to see Yang Cheng's self-confidence, nodding with a smile, "The last question, I believe it should also be a lot of women want to ask, that is, have time to eat together tonight Did you? "She said, laughing all by herself.

Yang Cheng nodded, "But wait until 20 o'clock!"

Obviously, although their conversation is about eating, the deep meaning in it is not just about eating.

…………

…………

After the interview, the shooting team also specifically tracked the Liverpool training. Yang Cheng gave them 10 minutes of shooting time. After 10 minutes, they had to leave the training ground.

According to the plan previously discussed by Yang Cheng with Tim Hank and Chris Schmidt, in the first week in Italy, the team will focus on physical reserve training in order to strengthen the player ’s physical reserve to Help them cope with this busy season.

The second week is to strengthen physical fitness and technical and tactical cooperation, and the third week is to focus on the team's technical and tactical cooperation and the overall tactical exercises. After all, Liverpool players have been together for so long, so in terms of technical and tactical No need to spend too much time.

The team ’s main lineup is actually very strong, Drogba ’s impact, Ronaldinho and Robben ’s back-insertion ability and side attack ability, Gerrard ’s strength on both ends of the offense and defense, Carrick ’s pass organization And scheduling, the only trouble is Davis.

The Dutch have suffered more injuries, their physical fitness has dropped a lot, and their status is more general. Yang Cheng began to focus on using Essien as the main force. Although the performance of the Ghanaians is good, it is still a bit far from Davis.

However, it is inevitable that Essien replaces Davis, because Davis is 32 years old, and if there are more injuries, it is difficult to say that the state is always uninsured, but Essien is stronger, stronger and more reliable. .

For Plan B, Yang Cheng is more concerned about using a double back, with a forward midfielder, two wingers and a center in front, and in this position, Ashavin, Ribery, Murphy , Gerrard can be competent, there are still many candidates, not to mention wingers and forwards.

In the lower back position, Harman, Essien, Aarau Diarra, Davis and others can be competent. Even Gerrard can play this position, which is also very convenient to use.

Since Essien is to be put in the main position, he must integrate his technical characteristics into Liverpool's tactical system.

The Ghanaian is very strong, with one-on-one defensive ability, strong back chase and back-seat ability, and an active anti-robbing ability on the spot, plus his collapsed physical ability, making him almost Davis's Natural successor, and the sense of position of the two is equally bad.

One is from the side, and the other is from the full back. It ’s a strange thing to have a good sense of position!

But sculpting Essien does not have to sculpt his sense of position. Although this point also needs to be strengthened, this kind of thing depends more on comprehension. On the contrary, it is about running and coping without the ball, but it can be strengthened in training. .

Therefore, on the training ground near Lake Garda, you can often hear Yang Cheng whistle to stop training, and then criticize Essin's running, because many times, the Ghanaian's running is not necessary, even stupid.

In addition to pointing on the training ground, Yang Cheng also asked Chris to film the training and recorded a video, which specifically singled out Essin's running problems and pointed out some errors, and Correct it and let the Ghanaians take it back to see it.

In fact, the video can help players improve their skills and awareness. This is a bit like watching the game, seeing the game more, thinking more, and being able to get a deeper understanding of some technical and tactical content.

The most feared thing is that some players simply don't like watching videos.

For example, Drogba ’s shooting skills are not progressing fast. In fact, it has a certain relationship with his lack of investment in this area. There is also a problem with his physical fitness. After all, his body is too strong, and the ball and foot feel Was affected.

In the last season, Yang Cheng recorded all the problems that the team broke out in the game in a notebook. Then, when preparing for the new season, he made improvements to xìng.

Of course, every training class is indispensable to Yang Cheng's favorite small venue training.

From Germany to Serie A, then to the Premier League, Yang Cheng did not change his strong interest in confrontation with small venues.

3 vs. 3, 4 vs. 4, 5 vs. 7, 7 vs. 7 ... Every day, we play tricks on a small field. The intensity of a small field competition can often make players lying on the grass tired, and almost can't get up.

Moreover, this small venue has a fast rhythm. It requires that players' awareness of handling the ball must be improved. The pass and catch must be fast and reasonable. The player's running strategy should also be fast and in place. It can exercise the players on the court in all directions. Ability to handle the ball and react when faced with a snatch.

After 15 minutes of the small court confrontation, the winners and losers were seen, and half of the Liverpool players walked one by one, lying in front of the goal, taking off the ball, lù out of his ass.

The one-on-one player will hold the ball, put it on the penalty spot, and shoot the ball at their butt.

Sometimes you will hear a bang, that must be the ball hitting the **** of Bai Huahua, sometimes you will not hear it, even if the ball hits the net, as long as the **** does not hit the butt, the person who shoots the ball will go to line up Behind the queue, waiting for the bare ass.

This is a Liverpool block game, but this game is actually very interesting. It not only gives small venues some rewards and penalties, but also promotes players ’training. It can also improve their penalties.

In the Champions League final, Carragher's penalty kick was won by relying on his usual exercise.

After a day of training, Yang Cheng took the coaching staff to the hotel, very close, just a few steps away.

There will always be some Italian **** outside the training ground waiting to be signed. Many of them came to block Yang Cheng. Some people even came from Milan. Yang Cheng always tires of signing and taking photos of each of them. Before leaving.

After sending the ball away, Ian Rush, who was waiting in the distance, came over.

"Seeing that you are so busy, I think I am too happy!" Ian Rush said with a smile.

Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled, heading in the direction of the hotel. He was thinking of going to the hotel ’s swimming pool for a while, and then went to Canaris ’room at night. He did n’t want anything else. .

"Valencia just sent us a quote fax!" Ian Rush said.

Yang Cheng frowned, "Are we looking at their players?"

"No, but they are undergoing a major cleansing. The new coach will come to power, and they will definitely have to move the knife. Do you know? Their first team has as many as 43 people, my goodness!" Ian Rush felt a bit of a tongue out.

Yang Cheng feels unbelievable, how much wage burden?

"They are purging and hope to bring in some suitable players. At present, they have completed three transfers. They have introduced Miguel from Benfica. Arsenal and Newcastle got Edu and Kluivert free of charge. A famous winger, but he needs to sell his players before the team. "

"For example?" Yang Cheng continued to move forward.

"Muhammad Sissoko, a player you admire in the rumors!"

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, stopped his pace, thought for a while, and finally could not help laughing and scolding, "nonsense!"

He has never looked at this player. Although Sissoko ’s defense is indeed ok, but he is really not the dish that Yang Cheng likes, and there is currently one in Liverpool who does not lose to Sissoko. Aarau Diarra, but this is the later French captain, can the strength be poor?

As for the defensive midfielder, Essien, Harman, Davis, will not lose to Sissoko, why should he stay close?

"Media rumors!" Ian Rush was also helpless.

"Liverpool's price tag for Sissoko is 8 million euros. I heard that Subirac wanted to get Zaragoza's leading striker David Villa, but they need to sell Sissoko for the Spanish striker. Transfer fee. "

"David? Villa?" Of course, Yang Cheng could not have heard of this name, the future Spanish top scorer.

"Yes, a new Spanish striker who has risen in the past two years. He moved from Sporting Gijon in the second division to Zaragoza in 2003. The transfer fee was only 1.5 million euros, but the two seasons have been in Zaragoza. The performance is very good, the goals are surging, and today's transfer fee has soared 10 times. "

"There are rumors that Real Madrid are also very optimistic about this striker." After a pause, Ian Rush smiled: "Just because he led Zaragoza to defeat Real Madrid in the King's Cup and scored. , So Real Madrid also want to get him. "

This season ’s Real Madrid ’s transfer strategy has been adjusted. The players introduced are basically not famous, but the players with good strength, or rookies, so they will choose Villa. It should not be surprising, after all, Real Madrid has no Ronaldo, Irving has switched to Newcastle, and the striker line really needs to make up.

At present, Liverpool's set of strikers is also very strong. He does not think that Villa can come to grab a position with Drogba and Larson. At best, it is to compete with Kuyt for the thickness of the bench, but it costs more than a thousand. Ten thousand euros to introduce a third or even fourth striker, he thinks it is not cost-effective.

On the contrary, it is to the general manager of Valencia Subirac, this is a very out of the manager.

In Spain, there are not many managers who can deserve sè. Subirac is one, and the other is the Méngchi of Seville. These two have created the Bat Corps and the Seville Youth Army. Brilliance belongs to rare talents.

For this kind of cattle, Yang Cheng is certainly in the mood to have a chance to know.

"Tell Rick Parry that we are not interested in intervening in La Liga's transfer competition. We don't need Sissoko!" Yang Cheng explained Ian Rush, and then walked into the hotel door.

He was really not interested in the so-called arms race.

Liverpool trained for a week on Lake Garda, and the team went to nearby Brescia.

This veteran Serie A team was badly relegated to bad luck last season. Almost all the top players in the team have left. The team's overall combat power has fallen sharply, but due to the closest distance to Lake Garda, Upper Liverpool wanted to get familiar with the rhythm of the game through a game, so they played a warm-up game with the opponent in Brescia.

In the first half, Liverpool did their best to play. Although the players experienced a week of hard physical reserve training and were seriously fatigued, the absolute advantage in strength allowed the Red Army to easily control the advantage on the court and rely on Ronaldinho and Luo. Ben and Gerrard's goals lead the home team 3-0.

In the second half, Yang Cheng made a large-scale substitution and almost replaced the main lineup. There was only one Drogba. As a result, the Ivorian seemed to have damaged his self-esteem. The first minute of the first half of the second half scored a goal. It is too efficient.

As he wished, Yang Cheng replaced Drogba with Kuyt, and then teased that Drogba's shot was very rare, causing the Ivorian to almost die awkwardly.

The whole warm-up match ended at 5: 1. Brescia scored a goal at the last moment, but Liverpool did not show their best form. Otherwise, they may be able to reap a bigger victory.

At the end of this game, the team returned to the hotel on Lake Garda overnight, ready to continue training. Their next game was nearby Verona. After a week, there was ample time to prepare for the game.

The opponents in the first two warm-up games were not strong, but the opponents next were stronger, namely Parma, Marseille and Lyon. Then the team will return to Liverpool to prepare for the community shield.

After playing the first warm-up match, Yang Cheng did not return to the hotel with the team, but took the time to go to his villa on Lake Como. ! .
