La Liga is about technology, the Premier League is about scrambling, and the Eredivisie is about attacking.

That's what Forlan thought of these three leagues before he came into contact with them.

In fact, Forlan didn't know much about the Eredivisie, although Groningen came to him on the one hand because of the lack of personnel after their manager was out of class, and on the other hand, there were relatively many Nordic people in the team... Let's be honest, although Forlan has Swedish citizenship and plays for the Swedish team, he doesn't know much about Nordic football.

However, the big-hearted Fran will not be afraid of this, after all, to be honest, he is not much different from the rest of the league except La Liga. And those who are interested can see from Fran's coaching of the Newcastle Cup that although the young coach was a rare attacking defender in Europe before retiring, his style of coaching is extraordinarily open and sharp.

When he arrived in Groningen, Fran had even stepped out of the airport when he was taken aback by the number of local fans who had come to pick him up from outside. It's not that she's so large that it shocks the former Real Madrid star, it's that he doesn't think he's done much and doesn't deserve the fans' action.

It wasn't until he heard a Groningen fan shouting, "Fran, can you play as a defender part-time!" and Fran realized that he might have noticed their thoughts.

And then when I met the president of Groningen, the first thing he said was, "Forlan, I'll give you three times your salary, do you want to play at centre-back?"

From this moment on, Fran had a premonition that this chairman was not very reliable.

"Since 1964, the Eredivisie has been the domain of Feyenoord, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven. Mr. Chairman, he patted Forlan on the shoulder and encouraged, "Groningen have never won the Eredivisie, so don't put too much pressure on us, our goal is not to be relegated." ”

"Okay. Fran said he was not worried about relegation at all.

The agent Carvajal and the Groningen manager smiled awkwardly but politely at each other.

Back to the hotel-style apartment arranged for Forlan on the club's side, Forlan took out a notebook from his arms and wrote the numbers 1+1 and 1+2 on it, indicating that there are five European places in the Champions League + Europa League. Carvajal sat on the couch and expressed his amazement at Franneng's constant pull out of his suit.

Because of the problem of the league ranking, the European places in the Eredivisie can't be compared with La Liga, and Forlan can comfort himself too late, after all, according to the statistics of the past five years of European data, Forlan did not catch up when the Eredivisie fell into the 0+2 and 0+3 zones.

When communicating with the club's sporting director Vansette, the other party carefully emphasized to Forlan the upper limit of Groningen's transfer expenses, as if he was afraid that Forlan would get used to Real Madrid's crazy money-throwing model and spend all the transfer fees. Fran wondered if he was a fool in Vansette's eyes, "You're looking for a football coach, not a sports star." I still know a little bit about that... But I'm still going to bring in a few guys in the team. ”

'I'm a defender, but I've never been a defender, I've never been a goalkeeper. Forlan said this, he turned out a stack of youth training materials that he had read many times, since this club can cultivate Robben and Suarez, it may not be that there is no next Robben and Suarez. He pointed out the starting goalkeeper of the second-tier team, "This one is called Aarau, let's be promoted to the first team next season." "I have shown myself to be a good coach with an academy, as self-sufficient as possible and not spending money indiscriminately.

'His brother Stefan had also been a first-team substitute goalkeeper for a while, only to leave. Van Seet certainly had nothing to object to promoting a younger player, he thought for a moment and said, "What do you think of Newcastle's Russells?"

Hearing him suddenly mention the captain of Newcastle, Forlan raised his eyebrows in surprise, it was indeed a somewhat spiritual central defender, in the following 1819 season, Russell was just twenty-five years old, which was still a very young age for Forlan. But he is a prospective captain of the Premier League, why bother to come to the Eredivisie?

When he later learned that Groningen had reached a transfer agreement with Newcastle, Forlan had to start wondering if he was really charismatic.

He hurriedly called Vansette, "Have you tried to contact Real Madrid?" and "We can't afford Real Madrid's people." ”

"Real Madrid can't afford it, try to buy Castilla, no matter how bad the loan is?"

Fran thought.

2、

Fran looked at Ruscelles, who was smiling like a little fool in front of him, and just wanted to shake his shoulder and ask him desperately, are you stupid Benitez is not unwilling to give you a chance and time, what are you going to do when you come to Groningen with an unknown future?

He has no doubts about Russells' individual ability, but he doesn't think his way of being emotionally involved with a manager is really not desirable for a professional footballer. As a result, people still happily said "dear coach", as if they didn't notice that Mr. Coach had the urge to beat him.

However, the eighteen-year-old goalkeeper who has just been promoted from the second-tier team has been very well-behaved and smiling, and at first glance he is sensible and obedient.

Fran felt that these two people always felt very familiar to him, one bear-bearing and the other obedient.

However, the young goalkeeper can only be used as a substitute for the second goalkeeper for the time being, and although Ruscelles has made Forlan pay attention, whether he can smoothly integrate into the team is still a matter of concern in the future.

This is the second club he has really been fully involved with, and it is very different from Real Madrid. Groningen, from the club, the players to the fans, seems to have a sense of optimism as long as they don't get relegated from the Eredivisie, win a game and lose a game and continue to work hard. They all seem to have accepted Forlan's arrival, as he won a valuable cup at a young age and could give Groningen a promising future.

Real Madrid did not disappoint Forlan by selling a Castilla striker named Fernandez Casaro to FC Groningen for a small transfer fee, but signed a lower penalty and a buy-back clause for Real Madrid.

For this reason, Guti, who is now the head coach of Castilla, also specially called Forlan to ask to take good care of his cubs.

Forlan eventually looked at a Groningen team that hadn't changed much from last season's squad, and the players themselves saw Forlan as more of a superstar than his own manager. Perhaps it is also true that most of the attention paid to the Groningen team in the European media has been on Forlan.

A reporter caught Fran riding a bicycle outside the training camp and pounced on him, and Fran, who was thinking about something, almost hit him directly. Fran was so skilled in cycling for many years that he could stop properly, and he heard the reporter ask in surprise, "Fran has lost weight in a month after coming to the Netherlands?"

There are many reasons for losing weight, such as starting to travel bicycles since he came to the Netherlands, such as the fact that his previous teaching assistant job was idle and he was unconsciously fat and inflated, and more importantly, the pressure of the new season is about to start and he continues to lose weight.

In the end, the best reason Fran could find was that the Dutch breakfast and lunch were mostly cold, and he was not used to eating them.

Casaro, who also traveled by bicycle because he couldn't afford to buy a car, passed by and nodded approvingly.

Fran was afraid that these reporters would make up random fabrications, and that after he came to the Netherlands, he began to take drugs because of too much separation, which caused him to lose weight sharply.

"Shocked! Fran came to the Eredivisie because the country was too separated, and drug abuse caused a sudden weight loss"

Speaking of bicycle travel, there is another reason.

Before joining the Real Madrid first team, Forlan had been commuting between home and training camp on his bike. After entering the first team, for the sake of safety, and in order not to look too pitiful in a group of luxury car tycoons, Fran has since become a member of the luxury car tycoons.

In the previous days in Manchester and Newcastle, Fran, as an assistant coach, also chose the car in order not to attract too much attention. But the Netherlands, known as the 'Kingdom of Bicycles', is different, or at least Groningen. Captain Raining said to Fran: "In Groningen, only those who have not been admitted to the junior cycling team or the tennis team are sent to the football academy. “

Of course, this is a joke. After getting used to "whether I'm going to Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid tomorrow" in Madrid, Forlan quickly adapted to the rhythm after his initial surprise, turning down the car offered by the club and riding his bike to his office the next day.

A few post-98s surrounded Fran's bicycle in amazement, as if they didn't believe that their coach had found a mountain bike with such a good DIY configuration in one day. And Fran, who was trying to keep his composure, piled himself on the office chair after entering the office, touched the sweat on his forehead, and felt that he was really dissatisfied with his old age. In the first two years, life was too smooth, even if the small belly came out, I could cover it a little in a suit, and I was almost shaking when I rode a bicycle, which really had to pick up my physical strength again.

Even if I am forty years old, I want to be a male god.

Fran thought.

After the team disbanded that day, Forlan stared at his mountain bike in a daze, and a group of stinky boys shouted "See you tomorrow" and ran fast, making Forlan feel that this was not so much a Eredivisie club as an academy team. The young goalkeeper who was promoted in the new season came over with his bicycle and tactfully but comfortably said that he was very interested in Fran's seemingly brilliant mountain bike, and wanted to switch rides with Fran. Fran saw the other party's bicycle, which looked like it was a few years old, and agreed.

The handsome Dutch guy with a height of 1.92 meters laughed like he was glowing in the afterglow of the sunset, he was still young, and his future height could not be measured. The little goalkeeper took the car and stepped on it a few times, muttering 'the new car is really not easy to ride', which made Fran feel that a group of little bastards were mixed with a little angel, and this little angel was promoted from the academy by himself.

It's hard to imagine.

At the end of the day, Fran gave the mountain bike that he had worked so hard to DIY for a long time to the little angel named Aarau.

On her first day of cycling through the streets of Groningen, Fran occasionally caused a few screams.

The next day, Fran was riding his bike through the Groningen thrift market when he caused a slight traffic jam.

On his third day, Fran was riding his bicycle through the Groningen fish market when he was stuffed with two simply processed raw herring by a kind uncle.

...

On his seventh day, Fran rode his bike through the North Park, past the Martinita, past the fish market and the thrift market, whistling as if he were one of the city's own, and fully immersed himself in the environment in just seven days.

In the first round of the Eredivisie in mid-August, Groningen faced AZ Alkmaar in the first game, and the attendance at the Euroborg Stadium was less than half.

When Forlan stood in front of his starting lineup and found out that he was less than the average height of this team, for the first time in his life, he felt that his height of 185 was still short. Luckily, he was standing in the centre of the dressing room, and all the players could only sit there and look up at him, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.

In fact, before coming to the Eredivisie, many peers have ventilated with themselves, the situation of the Dutch team is not easy to say, but in the Eredivisie, the ball style thief is open, the competitive level is not high but the competition is fierce, and the squad in your club will be young.

It boils down to a very fast change, and you can play as much as you want.

Fran's own offensive skills didn't light up much, but what he longed for the most was to attack and defend all the time.

Of course, Groningen can't afford to play all offense and defense, so many superstars in the Netherlands at their peak have not been able to achieve strong tactical execution and tacit cooperation between each other, and Groningen will only become a mess and collapse across the board.

But Fran still has a long time to go, and he doesn't care if he wants to start all over again. He even poked secretly to hope that he would not cultivate a dynasty named after him.

Anyway, it doesn't hurt to brag in your heart.

AZ Alkmaar finished third in the league last season and will naturally not be as focused as Ajax's PSV Eindhoven tie when they are 14th in the league. With FC Groningen opting for a 433 squad and AZ Alkmaar at 352, Forlan spotted that AZ Alkmaar's new manager was an Italian.

Well, the Italians have nothing wrong with 352.

As a result, the run-in between the two new coaches, the defenders who pursued tight defense on the 433 side failed to complete the task, the two fullbacks on the 352 side failed to meet the standard that the head coach can go up and down, and the most demanding central defenders also fell off the chain. In this defensive situation, Casaro, who was newly transferred from Castilla, took advantage of AZ Alkmaar's hole and scored straight to the end of the 1-0 victory for FC Groningen.

Fran was wearing a suit and leather shoes with his hands in his pockets, and his smile was extraordinarily restrained. It's not that he's feigning composure, it's that he understands that Groningen's current squad is really difficult to achieve a true balance between attack and defence. As central defenders, Larsson and Ruscelles are both 190 height and are not realistic to rank as two central defenders, especially Larsson's turn is too slow, it is better to let him focus on defense.

Compared to 4-3-3, Fran thinks that maybe 4-1-2-2-1 will work better.

5、

4-1-2-2-1。

Speaking of the back four here in detail, the most central Russells, as a full-time forward central defender, implements free man tactics to achieve a connection with the midfield. Larsson's job is the equivalent of Forlan, who was a full-time defender in the early stages of his career, while the other two are not wing-backs, but can play on the wing.

In the front court, the two wingers of the '3' retreat as shadow peaks, and when attacking, they rely on short passes in the midfield to find gaps, and the shadow strikers cut inside to break down with the center forwards, rather than the bottom crosses like the wingbacks.

But of course, this will lead to more pressure on the midfield defense, so it also requires the frontcourt players to actively counter-attack.

Fran felt that it was fortunate that the league was so young, and that the club was exceptionally open-minded and allowed him to carry out his ideas as much as possible.

6、

Now that you have the overall idea, start with a training plan.

Forlan was particularly pleased with the bike he received from the goalkeeper, as evidenced by the fact that he was able to ride the bike around the periphery of the long-distance runners during the team's physical training.

The assistant coach's private evaluation is that not long after retiring, he is really idle.

As a result, on the fourth day of Fran's actions, Fran had an extra bicycle next to Fran in training, which belonged to Mr. Groningen. From Fran alone, he became the head coach and the chairman of the double outflanking. The leader of the platoon must maintain the speed and not touch the head coach, and once the team falls, it is a face-to-face look at Mr. Chairman.

The Groningen players complained about the frustration and the efficiency of their training skyrocketed.

And all this, in a country like the Netherlands, makes Fran wonder if Mr. Chairman is trying to untact himself.

Hug yourself who is a little chubby but still handsome.

At the end of the day's training camp, Mr. Chairman, who had disappeared for a while during the training, reappeared when Fran was packing up and preparing to go back.

"Do you like football?" asked Mr. Chairman, with a heavy folder tucked between his arms, apparently as he continued to work overtime to make up for his knowledge of the league and the industry when he returned to the hotel.

Fran only smiled, and from his smile he knew that Mr. Chairman had asked a stupid question, how could someone like him who decided to retire at a 'young age' get back into the sport so quickly, if he didn't really love the sport?

"Do you like football?" asked Fran rhetorically.

"I'm like that, sometimes I sit there and watch the game, watch the players chase that ball and run the whole game, and I want to throw another football into it. It's not that he doesn't know the sport, to be honest, anyone who has been president of a club for so many years won't fail to understand the sport, especially a small club like Groningen, which is far from being a golden dollar football. He just doesn't understand it at times, and his players are really that glamorous when they pursue the whole game.

"But it can't be helped, I like Groningen a lot. "Mr. President, who was born and raised, said that he loves the city and he loves the club.

The author has something to say: Eredivisie, how to say ...

In fact, I have been thinking for a long time why the old players of the Orange family would rather go to Ligue 1 and the Turkish Super League than return to China.

But in fact, it can be seen from the data that Ligue 1 and the Portuguese Super League are competing for fifth, Turkey is firmly in tenth place, and the Eredivisie is in thirteenth.

The worst 0+2 and 0+3 zones in the Eredivisie mean that the Eredivisie champion does not have a direct Champions League place, and has to go to the play-offs...

... What can I say?

I probably just want to scold the Bosman Act again.

——————————

Are you going to be slow to do this, or do you think it's going to be a running account? If so, I'm going to get into Barcelona as soon as possible.

I've never written about coaching, so I don't know how to write much, and I haven't collected much information. So maybe the tactical strategy will be skipped as much as possible.

Anyway, it's Coach Fran's daily life, hahahaha, there are a group of bear children and little angels.

Like, well... Actually, you can pay attention to the little goalkeeper and his brother.

Fran's words, he's probably a particularly attractive muscular line under the suit, but, um... He's already starting to have a small belly!

Fran, you, you, you,
