Chapter 676: Madman Coach
Duan Yun didn't know what kind of harsh training he would face in the next few days.
Chinese football has always had a poor record, on the one hand, because football itself is not the most popular sport in China, and its mass participation is even far inferior to basketball, which is also a big ball sport.
On the other hand, there were serious internal management problems in the national football team before, corruption, match-fixing, and backdoor things have happened repeatedly, although a large number of football association officials and players were imprisoned in the 'football storm' that swept through China a few years ago, but the dross and filth of the year are still more or less left in today's national football team.
People who often watch the game often have this contrasting impression, that is, the pace of the game in the European and American leagues is often quite fast, whether it is passing or running without the ball, the players are quite active, nervous and confrontational.
But on the other hand, in the past few years, the Chinese Football League, compared with the European and American Football League, is completely two styles of painting, the players on the field are in a loose state, playing football is like a walk, basically it is rare to see them take the initiative to run without the ball, the technology is even rougher can not say, whether it is a striker or a defender, the whole game basically does not see the smooth ground cooperation, most of them are after touching the ball, directly a rambling big foot, as for whether the ball can be passed in place, it seems to have nothing to do with them at all!
Poor ball skills, poor game attitude, it is basically a miracle to win!
At that time, the national football team, not to mention dealing with strong teams in Europe and the United States, even if they encountered some small national teams around them, the scene was a mess, and the winning rate was even less than fifty percent.
Although the national football team has made a lot of progress in the past two years, some of the vices and bad styles of the national football team in the past are still continuing within the national football team, resulting in the national football team still having poor results.
However, with the coming to power of the country's new generation of leaders, after greatly increasing the attention to football, many well-known domestic enterprises have invested a lot of money under the government's 'hint', and introduced top foreign aid from Europe and the United States at sky-high prices.
But compared with the domestic professional league, the national team is still a fight that can't support the wall, the world ranking does not rise but falls, and the officials of the Football Association are disgraced.
In troubled times, if the national football team wants to produce outstanding results in the short term, it needs a good general with a strong style and good management of the army, and Jiang Tian, who has been the head coach of the national youth team and has good results, was praised by the Football Association and became the new head coach of the national team!
Regarding Jiang Tian, there are many legends about him in the football world.
Jiang Tian in his early years was also a player in the national football team.
At that time, the national football players were much more disciplined than today's players, and the level was higher.
Jiang Tian was an alternative to the national team when he was a player.
Compared with other players in the same national football team, Jiang Tian mainly plays as a defender, and his footwork skills are relatively rough, and most of the tasks in the team are to do some 'dirty work', which is not eye-catching.
However, Jiang Tian has a very apt nickname for him in the team, called "Running Can't Die"!
In fact, when he was a teenager, Jiang Tian's training subject in the sports school was sprint track and field, and football was only his halfway home.
After entering the national team, although Jiang Tian plays as a defender, he actually has a very large range of activities and can cover almost the entire midfield.
Even with his active running, Jiang Tian will repeatedly appear in the position of assist in the front court.
In a total of 75 games for the national team that year, Jiang Tian, as a defender, actually assisted in scoring double-doubles, which can be said to be the center back with the most goals in the history of the international team.
And because it was difficult for the national team to find a replacement for Jiang Tian, Jiang Tian also became the player who played for the longest time in the national team in that era, until he retired at the age of thirty-four, which gradually faded out of people's sight.
After taking off his sneakers and putting on leather shoes, Jiang Tian was quickly arranged by the national team to be the coach of the national youth team, which is also an affirmation and reward for Jiang Tian's contributions to the national football team over the years.
After becoming a coach, Jiang Tian did not feel the slightest discomfort, but quickly created his own coaching style.
In Jiang Tian's view, he doesn't need to teach these national youth team players the skills and tactics from scratch, after all, these most basic things should be trained from an early age, and being selected for the country itself shows that the skills of these players are not low.
That's why he focused his training on what he was most proud of when he was a player – physicality!
In Jiang Tian's view, the opportunities on the court are all runs, no matter how rough the technique is, as long as you can run more, then you can always find good opportunities, whether it is offensive or defensive!
In addition, the consequences of the player's lack of physical fitness are very serious, when Jiang Tian was in the national team, he saw that many teammates with good skills had too much physical exertion in the second half, and in the case of insufficient stamina, the footwork and technique of kicking the ball were seriously deformed.
Therefore, after becoming a coach, physical fitness has become the biggest focus of Jiang Tian's coaching.
Jiang Tian once asked the players to run laps around the playground with tires.
Jiang Tian once let the players practice three times a day.
Jiang Tian once asked the players to wear custom-made lead-filled suits to run 10,000 meters from prison in the morning......
There is no doubt that a coach like Jiang Tian is a nightmare for any player, and the cramps and detachments of the players under his command are almost commonplace, and even some players tremble when they hear Jiang Tian's name......
And Jiang Tian, who later entered the professional league team as a coach, did not restrain in the slightest, and still maintained a strong and enthusiastic physical training style, even more intensified than when he was in the youth team!
It is said that when Jiang Tian was the head coach of a domestic club, he once led the team to charge towards a local mountain with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and he also ran behind the crowd......
So much so that whenever Jiang Tian's contract expires and leaves the club, the players of that club will celebrate with a lot of laughter, laughter, and staggering!
However, the team led by Jiang Tian has indeed achieved good results, and the players trained by Jiang Tian are full of wolf nature on the court, running and scrambling more actively, and the offensive and defensive efficiency has been significantly improved!
This is also an important reason why the Football Association selected Jiang Tian as the new head coach of the national football team!
It's just that for ordinary players, Jiang Tian is undoubtedly the synonym of 'nightmare'.
And this time, the 'nightmare' befell the head of this year's national football team......
