The Sebena training base, which had been quiet for several days due to national team matches, became lively again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Taking advantage of the absence of many international players, Gao Han and the coaching staff organized all the remaining players to train, and at the same time selected a few players from the youth team on the next field to play a dozen internal group games.

From start to finish, Gao Han has been just watching from the sidelines, discussing things with Cantarero next to him from time to time, leaving training and internal group confrontation to Tuchel.

It wasn't until the end of the confrontation that Gao Han came over and summed up a few words with the players.

But when the team was disbanded, Marcelo was left behind by Gao Han.

"Let's take a shower and change my clothes, and then come back to my office. ”

Marcelo was stunned, feeling like a student who had made a mistake had been called to the office by the teacher to be punished.

He's not stupid, he's aware of the environment and the situation he's facing, and he's aware that when he comes to Europe, whether it's Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, he's going to have problems.

On the offensive side, he did a good job, but it wasn't enough to put him on the European first team, as his weak defence would have undone everything he had on the offensive end.

That was the case at Real Madrid.

Could it be that the same will be the case at Bayern Munich?

Marcelo was a little scared, because he knew that Gao Han was famous, and he could be famous because he was chosen by Gao Han before, and now he can also lose everything because of being abandoned by Gao Han.

Returning to the locker room in a daze, taking a shower and changing clothes, the Brazilian still made his way to Gao Han's office.

At this time, Gao Han was sitting on the sofa, looking at the TV on the opposite wall, which was playing the video highlights of the game.

Hearing Marcelo's knock on the door, Gao Han turned his head, and when he saw him, he beckoned him to come in and sit.

"This is some of the footage that I asked the technical department to edit from the time you joined the team to the present. Gao Han smiled and took the initiative to reveal the puzzle, which made the atmosphere of the conversation much easier.

At the very least, Marcelo's inner nervousness was lightened, and he concentrated on watching the highlights of the game.

"Look, do you find yourself having problems defensively?"

After Marcelo listened to Gao Han's words, he immediately realized that this collection was about his defense, and he immediately realized that this was the head coach who wanted to discuss the defense problem with him.

In an instant, his heart, which was originally hanging at the door of his throat, was completely put down.

It turns out that the manager has not given up on himself.

With a heavy sigh, Marcelo refocused on the footage of the match.

Not to mention, he really doesn't feel anything in normal times, but if he clips so many defensive clips from training and games together, he really feels like there is a problem, and it's a serious problem.

That is, the probability of him being directly passed by is very high.

It can even be said that whenever he is one-on-one, he will be given by.

This made the Brazilian a little embarrassed, because he had a high probability of passing on the offensive end, which was very embarrassing.

Therefore, when he saw the back, he almost couldn't bear to look directly at his face.

Gao Han also noticed Marcelo's movements, and felt funny in his heart, and it could be seen that this was also a very hearted kid.

However, this is a good thing, Gao Han likes this kind of player with a heart.

The reason is very simple, if you are unwilling to be willing, you will work hard to improve yourself and improve yourself.

Although they may not be able to see what their problems are for the time being, they may even be embarrassed in the game, but it doesn't matter, slowly, they will prove their strength with their own improvements.

"Don't cover your face, the people who should be watching have already seen it, and it's useless to cover it. Gao Han chuckled.

Marcelo had no choice but to put down his hand, "Boss, I ......"

He was tempted to find some reason and excuse for himself, but he still couldn't find it.

As a defender, he can't even do the most basic defense, is there a reason?

Gao Han didn't speak, but looked at him silently, waiting for the reason and explanation he gave.

But Marcelo hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: "Okay, I'll admit, boss, my defense is really scummy." ”

Gao Han smiled again, just don't make excuses, at least be willing to admit his problems.

"To be honest, I like your attack very, very much, and I can even tell you that if you can defend up to the level of a qualified defender in Europe's top league, you can be the best attacking full-back in the world. ”

Gao Han's words made Marcelo a little dumbfounded.

That's too high, isn't it?

Even if Marcelo already has a lot of expectations for himself on weekdays, and after joining Bayern Munich, he was praised by the media a little fluttering, but he never thought that he could become the best in the world.

Especially when these words came out of the mouth of the famous Gao Han.

But Gao Han is very serious, because this is his sincere words.

The most basic ability of a defender is never to attack, but to defend.

Even full-backs like Robert Carlos and Cafu are known for their attacking prowess, and they can defend up to the level of a good defender, especially when they can keep their hearts and minds ready to defend.

Daniel Alves, who moved to Barcelona from Sevilla this summer, looked like a winger in his play, with a typical attacking strength and weak defence, and many people even had serious doubts about his defensive ability.

But in reality, his defensive ability is not bad, and he is completely in line with the requirements of a top league defender, but his performance on the offensive end masks his mediocrity in defense.

But the ordinariness here is relative to the defenders of the top league, but the excellence of the offensive end is also relative to the defenders of the top league, and even the attacking players in the midfield.

"Boss, what do I say?" asked Marcelo, plucking up his courage.

He could see that Gao Han was not fooling, and he was also convinced of Gao Han's vision, so he began to want to meet Gao Han's requirements, and wanted to reach the height that Gao Han said.

Gao Han didn't answer, but pointed to the TV, "You watch it carefully again, why are you so easy to get past when you are defending, especially when you are one-on-one." ”

After speaking, Gao Han released the game highlights again.

Marcelo stared intently at the TV, watching the highlights defend again and again, and gradually, he really found some clues, and as the highlights played, he finally saw his problem clearly.

"Out of the feet, out of the feet, boss. Marcelo exclaimed.

Gao Han nodded, this was also discovered by Sergio Garcia's technical department after careful research.

"Yes, did you notice, when you're defending one-on-one, you're choosing too many shots, or rather, you're always trying to get the ball, but you ignore it, and the opponent is always waiting for you to make a move. ”

In European football, there is an iron law when defending, and if you are not sure enough, you will never take it lightly.

The reason why Cannavaro was criticized in his early years was because he liked to play too much, and although the success rate was good, once he failed, he was often easy to be used by his opponents.

And the fans who watched the game on the TV had the most direct impression of this that this kid was too reckless and frizzy.

Marcelo's problem now is the same, his first reaction when defending is to grab the ball, which is not good.

Of course, this has a lot to do with his upbringing in Brazil.

And Gao Han also knows very well that if he wants him to quickly improve his defensive ability in a short period of time, he can't expect it at all.

You can't eat a fat man in one bite, and Rome wasn't built overnight.

"I've looked at it with the coaching staff and I'm going to do two things to strengthen the defense on the left side. ”

Marcelo nodded, listening intently.

"First of all, I will ask my teammates to protect you more and help you defend more, but on the pitch, you must be directly attacked by the opponent, because everyone knows that your side is our weakness and vulnerability. ”

Marcelo was a little embarrassed to hear it, boss, although this is true, can you not be so blunt?

But he didn't dare to say this, and nodded busily.

"So, my second request to you is very simple, I don't need you to grab the ball, I don't need you to do anything, I just ask you to be defensive and don't make moves easily, follow the opponent's inside, don't let the opponent cut into the middle. ”

"That's it?" said Marcelo.

Gao Han smiled slightly, "Of course it's more than that, but this is the simplest and most basic, my idea is that you first master this point, meet the requirements, and then slowly learn something else, for example, I will focus on improving your card ability in the future." ”

This may seem simple, but it's actually not easy, because there are many factors to consider.

For example, how many players are involved in the attack around the opposing ball carrier, what is their running route, and even further, how will they cooperate?

On your own side, after you get stuck in your position, what kind of attack might the opponent take, and will your teammates be able to follow up in time?

All of this requires the defender to judge the moment he is in position, which is an almost instinctive judgment.

"You're physical, you're good at running, you're fast, you're flexible, you're not tall, you're not tall, you're going to have some grappling ability, and that's all your strengths, so I'm sure you should be able to live up to my first and most basic requirements for you. Gao Han smiled and encouraged.

Marcelo nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, boss, if you can't even meet such basic requirements, then I ......"

"Don't say anything else, I don't want to hear you say it, I just watch you do it. Gao Han didn't let him go on.

Marcelo understood Gao Han's kindness, and was grateful in his heart, nodding in agreement.

"To be honest, I know you like to attack, and so do I, and the reason why I brought you in is because you value your offensive ability, but only if your defensive ability meets the requirements and avoids unnecessary mistakes. ”

"I understand, boss. Marcelo agreed.

"In the next few days, I will ask the coaching staff to arrange corresponding training for you, but it's a pity that Ribery and Robben are not there, otherwise it ......" Speaking of this, Gao Han sighed.

Marcelo couldn't help but feel a chill down his back.

He vaguely remembers that when he was in Real Madrid, he heard that Gao Han allowed the players in the team to foul wantonly when he got the ball in order to train Cristiano Ronaldo and make the Portuguese not so fancy.

It is said that Cristiano Ronaldo was heartbroken for this.

Now that the situation is reversed, using Robben and Ribery to ravage his poor child, isn't that his fragile little heart......

It's okay, the national team is playing well, they're not there, okay!

But just when Marcelo shouted lucky, Gao Han suddenly nodded.

"Well, but it's okay, when they come back from the national team, I'll arrange for them to take turns training you. ”

Marcelo was stupid on the spot.

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

Oh my god, one is not enough, and I take turns.

It's going to kill you, boss!
