Chapter 222: The Gun Shoots the Head Bird
The weather in Madrid has been very bad in recent days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Meteorological Observatory reports that the first rain of the year may come earlier than usual.
This will also make the winter in Madrid even colder.
Bad weather makes it more difficult to maintain the turf, so every morning, the turf maintainers at the Sports City have to work early to make sure that everything is taken care of at the training ground before the team trains.
This is still in normal times, and if there is heavy snow, they even have to take turns to be on duty in the sports city, otherwise, once the turf of the training ground is blocked by ice and snow, it will be a serious dereliction of duty.
When the venue maintenance staff starts to get busy, there will be staff from other departments coming to the sports city one after another.
The coaching staff usually arrives around 8 o'clock, especially the head coach Gao Han, who is the first to arrive at the sports city almost every day, and his daily work starts with communication with the field maintenance staff and the staff of other departments.
It's just that last night, the team went to Barcelona to play away, and this morning's training was delayed, so he estimated that it would be a little later.
But in the sports city, every person and every post will not slack off in the slightest.
Before you know it, players began to appear in the sports city.
According to the club's rules, players with injuries must come to the team an hour early every day to be examined by the team doctor.
But there will also be some players who are not injured or sick, but who also come to the team early.
They will give themselves a period of extra training before the team's formal training to make up for their weaknesses and deficiencies.
For example, the team's leading scorer, David Villa, always arrives at the sports city early at any time of the day and starts training alone, sometimes in the equipment room, sometimes outdoors.
This Spanish man from Asturias, in the cold north, is so down-to-earth, diligent, step by step with his own attitude, with his own performance, to prove his worth.
Some media estimate that according to the current situation of the La Liga scorer list, Villa is very likely to hit the La Liga Golden Boot award.
And the last player who won the La Liga Golden Boot at the age of 20 was named Ronaldo.
There is no doubt that as the son of Shakhtar, Villa is gradually transforming from a nobody, a world-class striker in La Liga, Europe, and even a world-class striker.
But no one who sees his efforts will be surprised by his achievements.
In addition to Villa, Kaka was one of the first players to arrive at the training ground.
I heard that when he was still playing in Brazil, the club had prepared a set of physical fitness strengthening training for him, and after arriving at Atletico Madrid, head coach Gao Han also believed that Kaka should further strengthen his upper body strength.
After the Brazilian striker joined Atletico Madrid, he has been performing better and better, and many people think that he has been buried before, but the team, including the players themselves, know that it is because the manager has prepared a set of training for him to strengthen his upper limbs.
It is precisely because of the strengthening of his upper body that he can maintain his balance under the pressure of his opponent on the court, and then play his sharp and fast dribbling breakthrough.
Because of this, the intensive training of the Brazilians has also continued without interruption.
It's just that in recent times, he has an extra partner.
Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.
He was only seventeen years old in February, and he was said to be a player handpicked by head coach Gao Han.
This is a golden sign in the academy of Atletico Madrid.
Because everyone knows that none of the players Gao Han has a fancy to are eye-catching.
Needless to say, the stars of the first team who have been widely publicized by the media, in the youth team, in addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, who was licensed to train with the first team but played in the second team, there are several players who are also favored by the head coach Gao Han.
There have been media reports before, and fans who care about Atletico Madrid's youth team must know that Gao Han led the team to Seville to play the Copa del Rey before, and happened to meet several caddies, who liked them, and decided to poach them to Atletico Madrid.
In addition to Antonio Reyes, who has already played in Sevilla's first team and has shone brightly, three players including Sergio Ramos, Antonio Puerta and Jesús Navas have arrived at Atletico Madrid.
Puerta played the main team in the second team as soon as he came, Ramos also crossed into the eighteen-year-old age group, and it is not a problem to enter the second team next season, as for Navas, who has severe homesickness and low performance, he is still in the process of adapting to the team.
As for the other promising talent in the youth team, David Silva, who has the title of Belleron II, has also crossed the ranks into the 18-year-old age group and has become the core of the team's midfield.
Gao Han's vision has long been established as an authority within Atletico Madrid.
Therefore, the players that Gao Han likes are naturally also highly valued, especially Cristiano Ronaldo.
It's just that this shy Portuguese kid is a little too thin, but because of this, Cristiano Ronaldo also received a physical strengthening training.
So, he became a companion with Kaka.
In recent days, before the morning training session, an unfamiliar figure could be seen.
Seydoux Keita, 22 years old, a player from Mali, Africa, who used to play for Marseille and Lorient in Ligue 1, has never heard of him before, and even this season in Ligue 1 is mostly a substitute, with an average performance, but I don't know why, he was valued by the manager Gao Han and bought by the team for one million euros.
The Mali international is new to the city and has just started to learn Spanish from an interpreter, so he basically doesn't speak to anyone, but he has a very good training attitude, is meticulous about the coaching staff's arrangements, and takes the initiative to practice every morning and evening.
This attitude also allowed Seydoux Keita to win the initial recognition of the staff in the sports city.
…………
…………
Although the team delayed training, Gao Han still came to the sports city early.
When he appeared in front of the first team training building, he saw the likes of Villa and Seydou Keita on the training ground, while Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo were also in the equipment room.
This made him smile with relief, so much so that when he arrived at the coach's office on the second floor, Cantarero was full of curiosity when he saw him like this.
"What is so pleased?"
Gao Han shook his head with a smile, "I found the money." ”
"Found the money?" Cantarero really believed, "How much?"
Looking at his look of waiting for Gao Han's treat, it is simply a typical dog meat friend.
Therefore, for the extortion of his assistant, Gao Han directly chose to ignore it.
"By the way, after the training is over, you come to my office, and we can discuss it. ”
"What's the matter?" Cantarero also became serious.
"I think that now the La Liga teams are playing as if they were playing with chicken blood, and they are all playing with all their might. ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" Cantarero smiled wryly.
Atletico Madrid's performance since the new season is indeed very amazing, winning all the way, quite terrifying, breaking I don't know how many records, although the performance has been up and down, there is no sign of stopping.
But there is a saying that is true, the gun shoots the first bird.
The better the Sheets perform, the easier it is to motivate other La Liga teams, especially now that everyone knows that whoever takes out Atletico Madrid will be an overnight success.
Because of this, every team in La Liga is now holding back their energy to play Atletico Madrid.
"We have to have more changes and deal with different situations. ”
Cantarero was a little surprised, "You mean ......"
"We have to have a Plan B, or even a Plan C. ”
Yes, Gao Han has prepared two sets of formation changes for the team.
The reason is very simple, he is a local tyrant, and through his winning streak this season, he has accumulated a lot of achievement points and can afford it.
Moreover, the team's excellent results also made his heart swell and he wanted to win more.
Since it is difficult to choose between the two sets of preparatory plans, it is better to buy them all.
Use one set when you don't have a kaka, and use another set when you go to the center, so it's not wasteful at all.
What's more, the core concepts of these two sets of tactics are not much different from those of Atletico Madrid, and they are relatively easy to adapt.
Cantarero was not at all surprised that the team had a plan B, or even a plan C, and even felt normal.
Because everyone can see that La Liga teams are now doing their best to restrain Atletico Madrid's tactical play.
Either take the initiative to change, or find a way to change after being killed by the opponent.
If you choose one or the other, you must choose the former.
"Are you going to use it in midweek, away to Deportivo La Coruna?" Cantarero asked with a frown.
But Gao Han shook his head, "No, it's too late. ”
Two days later, the team will travel to Deportivo La Coruna, and there is simply not enough time to prepare.
Not to mention changing formations, even if you practice targeted tactics, you don't have time, let alone ......
"Away to Deportivo La Coruna, it's not time to use this killer strike. ”
As Gao Han said before, many teams, including Deportivo La Coruna, have achieved good results in recent years, and even shaken the two-man pattern of Real Madrid and Barcelona, but this does not mean how good these teams are.
Especially A Coruña.
Super Laco is under the tutelage of Irueta and plays a typical Spanish possession-style play, which is indeed quite good-looking on the field, but the style of play has always been soft, and he is used to playing downwind, and he has always had the disadvantages of home and away bugs, and the results are very unstable.
On the contrary, Valencia, under Cooper's tutelage, attaches great importance to defense, is more disciplined, and has more consistent results, and has reached the Champions League final for two consecutive years.
Therefore, for Alpine, it is more certain to play A Coruña than Valencia.
What's more, not long ago, Aragonés' Real Mallorca just beat Deportivo La Coruna 4-1, which taught Atletico Madrid a good lesson.
"Oh, by the way, when we were training in groups today, we put Seydou Keita, Jankulovski and Villa in a group, and I took it myself. ”
"You brought it yourself?" Cantarero was surprised.
In terms of training, Gao Han has always been a hands-off shopkeeper, and basically does not participate in the implementation of major policies, except for formulating major policies.
Why did you change sex today?
"There are ideas that need to be put into practice. Gao Han smiled incomprehensibly. (To be continued.) )
