258 Coach Summit
Chapter 258
Juan and his captain solemnly asked at this time, Andrew subconsciously looked around, the atmosphere in the entire locker room was very good, everyone was talking and laughing, and there was no nervousness at all.
Would a normal locker room be like this?
Not nervous at all?
Alan patted his arm: "What's the matter, buddy?" ”
"I mean...... Why does everyone seem so relaxed? Andrew hesitated, "Is it just because of this game that everyone is so easy to win, or has it always been like this?" ”
"It's always been that way, man." Alan coughed lightly, "Actually, you shouldn't be here at this time, after all, the locker room, you know...... But Juan said you're on our staff now, so I'll let you in. ”
Andrew nodded gratefully, in fact he didn't think he could get into the locker room at all when he came.
Thank you Volkswagen! Thanks A Coruña! Thanks to Facebook for the raffle!!
"And our little coach has always done whatever he wants, as long as it has nothing to do with the general direction, any rules are a dead letter on him." When he said this, Alan shook his head a little helplessly, "So in A Coruña, anything can happen, don't be too careless." ”
Andrew nodded blankly.
When there was laughter and laughter in the dressing room, it was peaceful outside the stadium, and the fans at the Riazor Stadium knew that the victory belonged to their families, so they sang happily, and the fans of Atletico Madrid came less and nestled in the corner and couldn't say anything.
"I'll tell you the truth...... In the first half, Deportivo La Coruna was a bit unforgiving. Dean squinted his eyes and said, "And didn't we discuss it before?" ”
Frank nodded: "Sure enough, Kaka is Deportivo Deportivo's ace weapon, we thought so when he didn't play in the first game!" ”
"It's not just Kaka!" Dean smiled, "Everybody pay attention to Deportivo La Coruna's change of formation!" In the last game, didn't they rotate the midfielders to the front? I know now, in fact, the tactic is still the same as in the last game, but the three midfielders in the last game are all replacing the current Kaka's position. ”
"Huh?"
"Yes, I'm almost certain now that Kaka didn't play in the last game, Deportivo doesn't have a midfielder here who can be as organised, attacking and fast as Kaka, so those three guys have to rotate up front to simulate tactics. It is estimated that Kaka did not play the first game, because the tactics have not yet taken shape. ”
Dean is very sure that Deportivo has revealed all too much of what intentions are being made apparent!
"But...... Is Juan Díaz the type that makes it easy to guess what he wants to do? Frank coughed lightly, hinting at his partner—but don't forget how his nickname "Tactics Encyclopedia" was shattered by Juan last season.
"I know, but I don't think I guessed wrong this time!" Dean is sure that he doesn't believe that A Coruña can give a shocking situation every time!!
"......" Frank looked at his partner with a sympathetic look.
But he witnessed how unlucky his partner was...... As a result, he only took a three-month vacation, and he forgot about it??
Soon the halftime was over, the players of Deportivo La Coruna and Atletico Madrid lined up one after another, Torres subconsciously glanced in the direction of Juan Díaz, only to see Juan also looking here in his eyes, the two looked at each other, Juan smiled at him.
“……?” Torres was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned his head away from looking in Juan's direction, but looked ahead.
He really didn't have the face to look at Juan anymore, after all, he was the first to open his mouth to plead......
Torres was immersed in his own shame, not noticing Juan's smile at all, but also with a hint of guilt and guilt.
Nino my brother, I've tried, but what happens to the players on the pitch, I have absolutely no control, you can do it yourself......
At the beginning of the second half, there was a calm on both sides, and Andrew thought that what Juan said had worked, but just as he was about to communicate with the staff on one side, he heard David Luiz, the big man on the bench, muttering something in a low voice, and he sounded a little nervous.
Andrew listened carefully.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's ......"
“???” Andrew was stunned, what's fast?
Pompons also noticed the doubts of the die-hard fan next to him, but he didn't say much, just coughed lightly and pointed to the field, Andrew followed and happened to see the person he was pointing at.
No. 22 stood with a long back, pursed his lips and looked serious, like a handsome young man.
Andrew sighed in his heart, only to hear Pompons beside him say in a breathtaking tone: "You wait and see, Kaka is not so easy to be convinced." ”
???
In the eyes of Andrew, and even most people who know Kaka, Kaka is definitely a five-good young man, and very kind, if the players on the opposite team sincerely say something like "please don't score again", then Kaka is really likely not to score a goal in the second half, which is a belief in his character.
The natural man of Ponpons also saw the confusion on his face and coughed lightly.
"He can't score goals himself, but no one said he can't pass the ball...... "Kaka's organization is also very evil, which is something that everyone knows.
“???” Andrew was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, and stared at the court.
Sure enough, the number 22, who had been standing there quietly, began to move, and he ran to the middle position almost instantly, and it was not him who stood in the middle at the beginning, but Belleron, but Belleron retreated his position to make room for Deportivo LaCoruna's new striker.
And once Kaka has space to activate, it becomes unstoppable.
Juan's eyes were always on the pitch, not just Kaka, but also at the back, and he knew that if they were to work together, Rui Costa, Figo and Kaka would have to get used to each other, and the three of them would have to get used to the way Deportivo La Coruna operated......
Obviously, the latter is a little more important than the former, and if you want to try that the three of you can't fuse, you will probably choose two lineups, and it's no problem at all like now.
In the two games, although the opponents are Atletico Madrid, there may be no comparison, but Atletico Madrid itself is the kind of football that is more biao, and no one in La Liga except Real Sociedad and Sevilla can fight with them in terms of style of play, if they can go two legs under Atletico Madrid, then most of the teams in La Liga can probably survive.
Besides, Deportivo doesn't have any derby objects, and the La Liga team in the entire city of Deportivo is just them, and the national derby is mixed with a lot of political elements, and Deportivo is obviously not involved......
So if you count it, they can be completely alone in the entire La Liga league, and just leave the hatred to Real Madrid and Barcelona to do......
The second half ended peacefully, Kaka did not score as agreed, and Belleron was clearly trying to control the game, and Atletico on the opposite side came in the same way as in the first half, and the captain of Deportivo responded with negative tactics.
A game that is won, why do you have to fight your opponent to the death?
It's just boring.
Of course, Kaka obviously didn't think so, he was meticulous on the pitch, although he didn't score, but several runs and passes scared Atletico Madrid, Torres even ran back and forth to feel like his leg was about to break.
He's a striker, so why do you need him to do it defensively???
Of course, Torres didn't know that now that he was called the "Golden Boy", he would have such a title as "Iron Guard" in the future, anyway, he was running and subconsciously wanted to look at Kaka's side and glared at him several times, but after looking at it, there was no anger.
It has to be said that Kaka and Torres are both of that kind ...... Looking at the opponent who makes people feel happy, after all, the appearance and personality are here, obviously, the two of them have the same evaluation of each other.
And Kaka's really doesn't have any intention of shooting, which doesn't violate the rules, does it? Although his few passes made Torres almost lose his soul......
Of course, Juan also discovered Kaka's bad taste on the field, but this is just a Super Cup, although it can be regarded as a cup, but Juan himself and Deportivo don't pay much attention to it, now that they have won the game, it doesn't matter how the players play on the field......
And to be honest, Kaka is showing such a little presumptuous attitude at this time, rather than being polite, which is a good thing for A Coruña - this at least proves that Kaka has initially accepted Deportivo La Coruna, doesn't it?
Juan also asked Rui Costa and Ancelotti about Kaka's situation in private, and of course did a little bit about Kaka's personality.
…… Of course, he now vaguely feels that what these people say "well-behaved and clever" seems to have another meaning, but it doesn't matter, what he knows from others is not as good as what he has personally experienced!
Deportivo La Coruna's young coach returned to the dugout with such a tolerant attitude, ready to see how far the players could pump me before the start of the season, Pompons in the back row pounced, covered his mouth and coughed softly: "Boss......"
“?” Juan turned around, only to be met with a somewhat flattering face, "...... What's up? ”
"Ahem, look, since you said that you want to save some face for Atletico in the second half, why don't we go up and run two steps at a young age?" Pompons was very cautious when he said this, Juan was silent for a while and glanced at the few little guys in the back row, everyone shrunk their necks, and only Messi stared at the field very attentively and seriously.
"Looks like you're all craving football for a holiday?" Juan smiled, and got a strong nod from most of the people, Quaresma held back a smile on the side, he played in the first game, so there is not so much demand for playing at this time, but there must be him in the trouble!
'In the next game against Sevilla, I'll play with the three best performers, among you. Juan said, pausing deliberately, "Including the goalkeeper." ”
“????” Lukes and Navas, who were watching the game from the side, were stunned, and the two looked at each other and looked at Juan.
Generally speaking, goalkeepers are the easiest to be full-time in a season, and last season, although Lukes was not without the opportunity to play, they were very few, let alone Navas, but he also knew that he was young, so An An was the second goalkeeper of the reserve team, trying to consolidate his skills.
Juan didn't even know if this kid would play or not, but he still said it so casually, after all, he was still looking forward to this kid's energy.
- What's more, if you can't play now, won't you have a future?
Even Juan Psychic Díaz did not expect this "future" to come so quickly, and this season, Kylor Navas ushered in his Champions League start for Deportivo La Coruna at the age of 20......
Andrew watched thoughtfully, at first he didn't really have any idea, he just wanted to make a pilgrimage, but after Juan mentioned "writing a book" to him, he thought about it almost all the time, especially when he vaguely realized that this seemed to be his future path.
Now, looking at this little coach who is much younger than him sitting here, it is very relaxing to inspire a group of younger people, burning his youth and vitality unscrupulously, so that he seems to have found a way for his future.
He squeezed his hands, took a deep breath to calm his agitated mood, and turned his head to look at the court.
There was little suspense in the second half, with Morientes and Portillo scoring a goal each in the second half, and they didn't feel anything, except that Torres' eyes seemed to be burning today......
After the match, Andrew's trip to Deportivo La Coruna was over, and Juan patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Here, one last experience." ”
“?” Andrew was pulled up, at this time the players had already held the trophy and were ready to take pictures with the whole team, Andrew was quickly pulled over by everyone, and Juan, who didn't want to shoot in, was also forced to pull into the picture.
So there was such a strange scene - the whole team of Deportivo La Coruna was excitedly taking pictures around the trophy, and everyone looked beaming.
Except for Andrew, who stood on the sidelines with a stunned face, and Juan Díaz himself, who had a stinky face.
That's the end of Andrew's magical journey, but Deportivo La Coruna's season has only just begun, and with the Spanish Super Cup in their pockets, Deportivo La Coruna is constantly preparing for the next UEFA Super Cup.
Speaking of this match, Juan himself is full of complaints - after all, Deportivo La Coruna's opponent is the European Cup champion Sevilla, and the two La Liga teams have to run together to play at the Stade Louis II in Monaco, France, is it easy?
And this stadium is smaller than Riazo, it can only accommodate 18,500 people, and it is completely impossible to generate revenue or anything!
For such a cup match that is loud to say, but has no meaning in itself, Juan himself can't even lift his energy, and Sevilla on the opposite side is very strong and plays hard.
Laco's young coach cautiously compared the momentum and gains and losses of his own and Sevilla, and finally said: When everyone goes up to play, safety first, friendship second, and game third......
Fortunately, although Sevilla is better than Atletico Madrid, they are reasonable, and the opposing coach has no opinion on Deportivo La Coruna, and the game ended peacefully.
Caparos went to Juan after the game and asked him if he would go to the coaches' summit in a few days, Juan was stunned for a moment: "Go, what's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, I'm just looking forward to it......" Caparros laughed when he heard him go, how did his expression look like something, Juan just wanted to find out more about the situation, but Caparos waved his hand, hummed a song and left, he seemed to be in a very good mood, not at all like he had lost the game.
Juan looked at his back and furrowed his brow.
What to expect?
What else can that coach summit do?
Juan had known about the coaching summit for a long time, and he had learned about it from his two mentors.
According to UEFA's arrangement, the players return to the national team at the beginning of September each year, during the first international break of the new season, and the best managers of European clubs will gather at UEFA headquarters in Switzerland for the annual coaching summit, where his mentor Alex Ferguson, as president of the conference, will welcome the coaches invited to the summit at the beginning.
Juan really couldn't imagine that under such a big premise, there would be any excitement worth watching.
However, he soon realized that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.
When he went that day, he carefully packed himself, after all, he was going to meet a group of seniors, but after arriving at the scene, he found that his appearance at this age seemed to be a little bit ...... A sense of disobedience?
And from the moment he stepped into the venue, he was surrounded by all kinds of sights, but when he wanted to look for it, he only saw a group of people talking and laughing.
???
Juan thought it was strange, but he also knew that the coaches had their own little circle - although they were usually opponents, after all, they were colleagues, so at least for today, they restrained their crazy appearance on the sidelines of the court, looking like handsome uncles with good manners, suits and leather shoes, and a kind and kind old man.
…… Of course, everyone is smiling at each other at this time, and there must be all kinds of slander in their hearts.
Who doesn't know what you're like on the sidelines?
Therefore, in such an atmosphere, the appearance of Juan Díaz is very out of place.
First of all, no one can see through this person, but these uncles and uncles are all people who have been on the sidelines of the court for twenty or thirty years, and who still doesn't know who the other party is?
But this kid has been standing on the edge of the court for two years, and even they old foxes can't see through this kid's routine.
And...... In normal times, this kid can't live like a person at all!
Of course, it's not a derogatory term, but the coaches have something that makes people feel human, no matter how good they are, and they are not so lofty and far away from the world - such as Ferguson's hair dryer ability, Wenger's "pedophilia", Jose Mourinho's arrogance and unstoppability.
In other words, these coaches have "black spots", so that fans have a place to complain, and then complain about the team where the head coach is located, of course, this will make people feel more cordial, and many die-hard fans are born from complaining.
And Juan Díaz?
Whether it is travel or daily life, he almost always demands himself with meticulousness and perfection, at least in front of the public camera and in the eyes of all fans, he has almost nothing to talk about, or even use to complain about the team.
…… If you have to say, is it one who is very good at snacking on the side of the court?
Of course, in addition to making people complain about him "like a child who asks for snacks with his mother", such a point does not produce any related remarks about the team itself, and I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing.
Juan himself knew that this was not a solution, but he didn't have a good solution, so he planned to take advantage of this time to ask his teacher to see if he could come up with a solution.
Now the whole hall looked at him with a very strange and obscure gaze, he himself was not afraid of this kind of gaze, but after a long time, there would be a strange feeling, so he thought about it for a while, and decided to start going directly to his teacher.
Finding Ferguson wasn't a struggle.
The Red Devils boss was the boss of the dressing room when he was on the pitch, the king of Manchester United, and he was the most feared opponent when he played, but it has to be said that on such occasions, he was transformed into a cheerful and talkative old man like Santa Claus.
The lord was very good at words, and at the same time he was very good at grasping the atmosphere and being the center of the whole conversation, and at this moment there were many people standing around him listening to him, and from time to time there was a light laugh, and it was obvious that the conversation was in full swing at this moment.
Juan took a look at the situation inside the periphery, and felt that it was better for him not to step forward - he also knew several people inside, and the UEFA bigwigs were there, so maybe he would be considered to be inflammatory?
But Juan didn't have time to leave, he even moved a little before he was spotted by the lord - no way, Juan Díaz was too conspicuous here, in fact, the lord had already noticed him when he first approached here.
In a bunch of uncle-level and even grandfather-level coaches who are less than 180, such a tall young man suddenly appears, no matter who will notice, okay?
At first, the lord was waiting for him to come forward, but what he didn't expect was that after this kid glanced at the situation inside, he didn't hesitate to turn his head and want to leave, and the lord was a little surprised to see him like this, and immediately called people back.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's attention immediately shifted to Juan, who stepped forward and greeted and shook hands almost all the way in.
- I have to emphasize once again that although everyone here knows who is what is good, at least the superficial kung fu is still very good, and they all seem to be polite and gentlemen.
After saying hello like this, Juan took a deep breath and hugged the lord: "Long time no see." ”
"It's been a long time since I saw the lad, and last season was great." The lord smiled and hugged him, Juan's performance last season was really amazing, which is why the people around him always looked at him with a strange look.
"Indeed, I don't think any of us won the treble in their first season, right?" One of the coaches said with a smile, and Juan could barely make out what he was saying from his accent, while narrowing his eyes in surprise.
…… The same Scottish accent as the Lord?
"There's no such a good start." Another person lamented, "When I started my career, I was coaching an amateur team on our street, and there wasn't even a single player in that team who could play. ”
"Aha, I'm slightly better than you, I started my career in the regional leagues."
"Right...... The Lord also started as a Championship team at that time, which is the best of us! ”
"But it's still not as good as Dias, who started with La Liga and is a Champions League quarter-final team...... In recent years, even Real Madrid has been in the top 16. ”
"yes, yes......"
Listening to the ridicule and slander around him, Juan smiled slightly and coughed lightly: "Thank you seniors for your kindness, I only did a little bit of work last season, mainly because of the strong support given to me by Chairman Rondoiro." ”
"I heard you're the one in charge of your team?" One person asked.
"It's not about making the decision, it's just about being able to make a decision on player transfers." Juan's expression was very calm, and he even had a smile like a spring breeze on his face, looking at his current appearance, Ferguson's first reaction was to cough lightly - to hold back a smile.
The surroundings were quiet for a moment, Juan looked at it, and even the expressions on the faces of many people in front of him were distorted for a moment.
"Ahem, guys." The lord immediately spoke, cutting off what the next people wanted to say, "Dias and I haven't seen each other for a while, and I want to say a few words to him......"
Everyone expressed their understanding, and made room for them, looking at their figures speeding away one by one, the lord finally couldn't hold back, sneered and shook his head: "...... them"
"Sir." Juan called softly, and the lord turned his head and patted him on the shoulder lovingly: "It's okay Juan, they just can't think about it for a while...... After all, most of them have never won a championship in their lives, and you just won three top awards in your first season in charge, and they are just hard to accept at this time, so don't blame them......"
When he said this, he had some embarrassment on his face.
These are people who have dedicated their lives to football, but most of them have never won a championship, which is inevitable – after all, there is only one champion.
As the head coach of Manchester United who has dominated the Premier League for many years, the lord can understand the thoughts of those people now, and with such a distorted face, to be honest, he saw a lot when he was young.
It's just that these people are a little more unbalanced when facing a young man like Juan Díaz.
Juan was silent for a while, then bowed his head slightly: "I know." ”
In fact, what he wants to say is that these people envy and hate a little early, and then there is an active player named Josep Guardiola, who has a higher starting point than him, and what he has achieved in a season is even more incredible than him......
But this man is still in service, well.
Juan knew that no one would believe him now, but in the next few years, these coaches will have to feel the real shadows......
"But chronologically, shouldn't there be a Mourinho coach in front of you?" Juan coughed lightly.
"He's not as young as you, and it's not your first season, and he's not easy to mess with." The lord looked at him with a very meaningful gaze.
"......," Juan raised an eyebrow, "I look like the kind of bully that is very good?" ”
'A lot of the managers think it's a little bit tougher for the older guys. The lord said implicitly - such as him, such as Arsene Wenger, and like Mourinho in comparison.
And everyone knows Mourinho's temper, that guy is a powder keg that explodes at a moment, and no one knows what words can come out of his mouth that can infuriate people, so there are very few people who dare to provoke such a madman, unless it is an opponent who has already decided, and they bite the bullet to scold each other.
To be honest, in the entire Premier League, no, or rather, in the entire football world, only the lord can have combat power and scare him, and the others, even Wenger, Ancelotti and the like are just using the policy of softness, so that he has nowhere to go, punch the cotton, and suffocate himself.
Of course, many times, Mourinho's spicy words make them want to vomit blood.
- Compared to Mourinho, Juan Díaz is indeed much more polite!
Juan never expected that it would be for this reason, so he was helpless for a while and didn't think much about it. Indeed, just like the lord said, he has already won the championship that many people have not been able to win in their lives at such a young age, and others are not allowed to be jealous?
"Speaking of which, is Mourinho here today?" Juan raised an eyebrow and asked, and Ferguson coughed lightly, with a hint of a smile in his eyes: "Of course, I'm still looking forward to him coming." ”
“???” Juan was stunned, "Why?" ”
"There's a good show to watch then." Ferguson laughed, and at this moment the head of the Red Devils was like an old urchin, "You pay attention, don't get involved!" ”
“???” Juan was dumbfounded, "And my business?" ”
"Of course it's you, you killed Arsenal and Chelsea last season, and you think Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho don't want to look for you?" Ferguson laughed, "But in such an occasion, Wenger will not say anything, this old boy loves face the most, you just need to pay attention to Mourinho." ”
Juan was speechless.
To be honest, he only came because he missed his mentor, and he also wanted to hear the experience and thoughts of these world-class coaches over the years.
No wonder Caparros said "expectant", it turned out that he was waiting to see this scene?
Juan was a little crying and laughing, and the lord patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't be afraid, when you sit in the front position, you will probably be able to avoid it, after all, it is me who speaks, and neither of them will sit in the front...... And Mourinho hasn't come yet. ”
“???”
"He must have a training session or something, anyway, it's all kinds of excuses." Ferguson waved his hand casually, "But it will definitely come, he won the league title five rounds early last season, and it is impossible for him not to show off." ”
Juan nodded, convinced.
The two games against Chelsea were arguably the toughest for Deportivo La Coruna last season, both for him and for the players, and Juan felt like there was no one left to bump into so many Premier League teams last season.
…… If he comes back this season, even he may have to doubt the fairness of the draw.
However, this time was still the beginning of the small talk, the lord told him a few more words, and then took him to meet other people, UEFA president Blatter smiled when he saw him and stretched out his hand: "Juan Dias...... I can assure you that you are the youngest manager I have ever presented the award to over the years. ”
He was talking about the Champions League, and Juan modestly shook hands with him, while slandering in his heart.
- Big brother, you've said this more than once in public.
Under the leadership of Ferguson, Juan got to know a circle of people, but Coach Scolari did not come, and Juan was a pity, otherwise he would have been able to sit with Scolari and be brave.
However, when he sat down, Juan realized how naïve he really was.
He chose a position in the front row, it was indeed very front, there was no one on either side, and Juan sat down next to him when he thought he could be so comfortable.
Juan saw a trace of silver-white hair in the corner of his eye, he originally thought it was the head coach of his grandfather's generation, but as soon as he turned around, the whole person subconsciously stiffened.
Arsène Wenger.
…… Well, it's a senior manager.
Juan suddenly felt very unscientific, obviously the lord said that this person would not sit in the front!!
Wenger obviously came to him on purpose, and when he turned his head and nodded politely at him, Juan was a little surprised, but his expression did not change at all, and he just nodded at the person.
At this time, the lord was already sitting on it and was about to start speaking, and Wenger whispered: "Mr. Dias, are you free later?" ”
Juan opened his mouth, nodded silently, and then turned his head a little stiffly and glared at the lord on the stage.
At the same time, the lord also noticed Juan's burning gaze below, and he was still thinking about what was wrong, but when he saw the person sitting next to him, he suddenly coughed lightly, and turned his gaze away with some weakness.
…… No, according to what he knew about this old opponent, he couldn't have sat in front at this time!
However, since they had all sat down at this time, he couldn't say anything, so he could only try to ignore Juan's almost accusatory gaze in the audience, and pretend to be casual and began to speak.
Juan was in a very agitated mood right now.
To be honest, he likes to watch the show, and he also loves to watch the show, but if he becomes the one who acts, it won't make people happy......
Fortunately, Wenger is still a relatively talkative and polite person, and if Mourinho was next to him, Juan would not dare to imagine what the scene would be......
However, there is a saying in the world that what is afraid of what comes, and there is also a saying that no coincidence is not a book.
Ferguson dignitaries began to welcome the coaches invited to the summit, and Mourinho was long overdue. He came in a hurry, and after searching for it, he found that the entire venue was almost full, and the only place he could see at a glance was an empty seat in the front row.
In the audience's attention, he walked up to Juan in three steps and two steps, and whispered if he could sit in the empty seat next to him.
Juan's whole body froze. 166 Reading Network
