What was it like to take part in the first training session in the high cold?

When the authoritative domestic party newspaper interviewed the international players of the national team after the morning training session, the reply given by the forty international players was surprisingly unanimous, that is, one word, tired.

As with all training, Alpine's training sessions are controlled within 90 minutes, consisting of a number of different small events, each of which does not look surprising, and even does not feel like a too physically demanding event, but it can be put together, but the internationals are almost always struggling to support themselves in 90 minutes of training.

There are many players who even collapse on the training ground after training, not wanting to get up at all.

But after a period of rest, they recalled the first training session under the interview of media reporters, but they felt very fulfilling, each item was very compact and reasonable, and one link was linked to the other.

Buenaventura is definitely the top physical trainer in the world, he has already felt the physical condition of each player before the training camp, and has a general understanding during the warm-up, so he dares to come up with such a training program.

But the most surprising thing for the international players is that he attaches great importance to training with the ball, every training project, even every action with the ball, after 90 minutes of training, the players look back, it seems that no training was completed without the ball, which reminded them of the media report on Gao Han.

Ball training has always been Gao Han's creed, he has always regarded ball control and running as more important than anything else, so his training characteristics have always been based on ball training, even in physical reserve training, which is much more interesting than boring training such as running laps in China.

Not only the training program, but also the relaxation team games, in fact, in retrospect, the intensity was very high.

For example, the famous monkey walking game, which is not uncommon, is also played by many international players in clubs, but the requirements of Gao Han are higher, the field is smaller, especially the emphasis on players must have a kick to the ball, which is too much pressure for international players.

But also because of the high pressure, so each of them must tremble in training, walking on thin ice, not daring to have the slightest relaxation and slackness, and the slightest carelessness is to be punished into the field to play monkeys for teammates.

But it is such a simple monkey walking game, and assistant coach Xiao Mu also specially told the international players about the doorway when he introduced the requirements, such as deliberately training for different passing lines, which can achieve different effects.

In training, Gao Han still felt that their passing and receiving cooperation was too slow, and he had to continue to speed up.

If it was before, the international players would definitely not be convinced, but yesterday afternoon, after seeing the cooperation of the indoor football team composed of Gao Ren, Wang Lei, Zhao Jun and Yang Xin, they had to be convinced.

Compared to them, the speed of the international players is indeed slow, and there are many mistakes.

In addition to the well-known relaxing game of monkey walking, the coaching staff also specially gave another relaxing game called array game.

In a rectangular field, eleven players wear three different colored vests, four red and four yellow, one side stands on the periphery of the rectangle to pass the ball, the other forces inside the line, and the three white players remain neutral at both ends of the rectangle and in the center of the rectangle, supporting the side with the ball, this training competition is who has the ball for the longest time.

But in addition to testing the basic skills such as passing and receiving coordination, the most important thing is the moment when the offense and defense are switched.

After the ball handler makes a mistake in passing and receiving the ball, he must enter the line area as soon as possible and put into the counter-robbery, while the original presser must exit the area and turn into ball control as soon as he grabs the ball.

At the end of the 90-minute training session in the morning, every player felt extremely fresh, very packed and fulfilling, but also very tired, because they maintained a great concentration and full attention to each training session almost all the time, which did not require the supervision of the coaching staff at all, and if they slackened, they were immediately punished.

This kind of training feels like they are about to be drained of the last bit of potential.

And at the end of the morning training session, each player dragged their tired bodies back to the locker room.

At noon, a dedicated nutrition expert prepares different nutritious meals for the players to meet their high-intensity training needs.

After the lunch break, before the afternoon training session, Gao Han organized another tactical analysis meeting, and the first meeting was for Xiao Mu to explain to everyone the array training that would be carried out this afternoon, which was an enhanced version of the array game in the morning, which spread to every player in the team.

At this time, the international players were surprised to find that every project arranged by the original coaching staff was targeted, and they were all linked to each other, the purpose was to let them familiarize themselves with and understand Gao Han's tactical intentions as soon as possible.

Xiao Mu first posted a map of the division of the stadium area, if you pay close attention to the international players of the field in the morning, it is easy to find that this map is exactly the same as the line of the training ground.

Gao Han's request to the players is to firmly engrave this picture in his mind, and he will train repeatedly in the next ten days, so that every player can clearly know which area the ball is, what situation it encounters, where it should be passed, how to pass, when the player should choose to run and where to run......

For all these details, Gao Han has very detailed tactical requirements.

It was the first time for the international players to come into contact with such cumbersome tactical system requirements, and they were all as big as a fight, and they were full of mistakes and omissions in the afternoon training session, and the training effect was very insignificant.

However, Gao Han did not get angry, but encouraged the players after training, saying that the first time he came into contact with such a tactic, it would indeed feel very cumbersome, but then he gradually became familiar with it, sorted it out, and each player performed his own role in the game, and the effect came out.

But Gao Han also warned all the internationals that this is only a preliminary version, mainly to grasp the array, and the running response he sorted out is only the simplest and most straightforward, the most easily accepted routine by the internationals, if it is in the top league in Europe, it will be ten times more complicated than now.

This also shocked the international players and said that they didn't have enough brains.

But I also have more sincere admiration for Gao Han and the coaching team.

…………

…………

After the first day of early adoption, the suffering of the internationals really began.

In the following ten days, the national team only had two mornings off, which were for the team to visit the attractions of Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and the rest of the time was immersed in the national team's training camp.

And what Gao Han grasps the most tightly is undoubtedly the team's array.

He knows very well that the array is the foundation of a team's skills and tactics, and with the strength of the national football team, only by playing as a whole can there be a chance of winning, so the array is undoubtedly the top priority, and it is also the most rigorous and tightest link he grasps.

During the two weeks of the national team's training camp, the national football team has suffered enough, but they all admire Gao Han and the coaching team even more, while it is difficult for outside media reporters and fans to get the details of the training camp, and they can only evaluate the effect through the training photos and news released by the Football Association every day.

Occasionally, several international players were interviewed by the media, and they all gave Gao Han and the coaching staff a very high evaluation, believing that they benefited a lot from the training effect, and also said that the atmosphere of the team was well maintained and relaxed.

This is also deliberately arranged by Gao Han, Steve Peters also counsels the psychological condition of each player, and Gao Han himself has repeatedly communicated privately with these 40 international players to ensure that his ideas can be accurately conveyed to the players.

In the blink of an eye, the two-week national team training camp passed in a hurry, and the forty international players also finished the first training camp after Gao Han took office, and returned to the club to prepare for the new season of the Chinese Super League.

After two weeks of getting along, Gao Han also has a general understanding of the international players, and he and the coaching staff have also carefully evaluated the strength and potential of each international player, especially Gao Han, who has repeatedly inspected the players with a keen eye.

It can be said that Gao Han and the coaching staff have basically understood the squad for the national team competition at the end of March, but it will not be announced until March, after all, he has to beware of injuries to the international players in the league.

After the two-week national team training camp, the Football Association held a press conference at the Guangzhou Chinatown Training Center, Gao Han once again accepted an interview with well-known media at home and abroad, he said that he was satisfied with the training effect of the national team, and also thanked the Football Association and the clubs for their strong support for the work of the national team.

"After two weeks of intensive training, I have a basic understanding and grasp of the situation of the national team, and it has also allowed me to get to know my players more deeply, and we have made good progress together, I am very happy with them and I am confident that they will not let me down. ”

"There is still a month to go until the World Cup qualifiers, and in that time we still have a lot of work to do, and then my team and I will go to the Chinese Super League to monitor the domestic league and the performance of the internationals, and we will pick the 25 players who are in the best form before the game in March. ”

In the end, Gao Han once again made a promise to all fans in China that the national team would do its best to win the two matches at the end of March.

Sure enough, in the following month, Gao Han once again became a trapeze, shuttling back and forth between the major arenas of the Chinese Super League, which has become a unique scenery in the new season of the Chinese Super League.

In addition to watching the game and inspecting the players, Gao Han also took the opportunity to communicate with the coaches of each team and discuss and analyze with the international players, which can help him understand the situation of the players more deeply.

Time passed little by little, entering mid-March, Gao Han finally sent out the final list of 25 people, basically including the strongest and best performing international players in various positions in China at present, and the captain Zheng Zhi was also selected and served as the captain again.

But what is surprising is that Gao Han once again recruited four young players from Chinatown, including Gao Ren, Wang Lei, Zhao Jun and Yang Xin, as well as Zhang Yuning, who plays in the Eredivisie, and Wei Shihao, who plays in the Portuguese Super League.

Among them, Zhang Yuning and Wei Shihao were entrusted by Gao Han to Mendes to take special care, and with the help of this agent predator's connections in European football, they helped them find suitable teams in the Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League, and began to get opportunities one after another.

As for how far they can develop in the future, it depends on their own efforts and creation.

After the new national team training camp, Gao Han and the coaching staff are still adjusting the physical fitness and state of the players, and they are also familiar with the array of drills in February, concentrating on preparing for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

On March 24, the world-renowned World Cup qualifiers are finally here!
