Chapter 162: Super Cup
The first time I met Feng Yulin's parents, it was undoubtedly a failure, Ke Yan was not very happy, after all, it was not an experience worth boasting about, Ke Yan didn't want to talk about it, Feng Yulin chased it out later, and the two of them went out to find a place to have a meal, and finally felt better.
After spending some time at home, he returned to Porto in early August to start preparing for the new season.
The new season is about to start, the club has gathered more than half a month in advance to prepare for the new season, the players need to adjust their form, return to a high level of competitive form, and the members of the coaching staff also need to make targeted adjustments to the team's overall tactics during this time.
The same set of lineups, want to use the same tactics to compete on the field, it will definitely not get better results, because after a period of time, the opponents will figure out the team's routines, the team's routines for targeted restraint, so in the football world, no dynasty lasts, the strongest Barcelona-Spanish dynasty, also only lasted a few years, a coach from Portugal Mourinho, after adjusting Real Madrid's tactics, completely broke the myth of Barcelona.
Fernando thinks so, and now the Porto in his hands is a young Porto, extremely malleable, as long as the training is carried out, this Porto will be able to burst out of powerful energy.
Last season, when Porto was still in the recovery period, Fernando was able to lead the team to the runner-up of the Portuguese Super League, the runner-up of the Portuguese Cup, and the winner of the Europa League.
The pressure of the new season Porto is much greater, first of all, the Portuguese Super Cup will be played before the season, and the opponent is still Sporting Lisbon, because Sporting Lisbon won both the league championship and the cup last season, so the qualification for the Super Cup will go to Porto, and after this game, they will face the UEFA Super Cup, their opponent is the Champions League winner last season, from the powerful Real Madrid in La Liga, the opponent is one of the strongest teams in the world, Porto will be under a lot of pressure in this game.
And after entering the new season, in addition to the league and cup schedule, they will compete in the Champions League, the most stressful European competition this season, although Porto was also a regular in the Champions League, but now this Porto has not played in the Champions League, the players are the first time to compete in such a high-intensity game, Fernando and the club have a lot to do, if any line collapses, it will definitely affect the other two fronts, in order to prevent this from happening, Fernando and his coaching staff are stepping up every day to train their players.
Now Fernando is most worried about Ke Yan's physical strength, because Ke Yan has been a big problem since he arrived in Porto, Ke Yan has also missed a lot of games because of physical problems, and lacks a lot of opportunities to exercise, although Ke Yan's physical strength has been growing, but the growth rate is too slow, judging from the pre-season training, Ke Yan still can't afford to be able to hold on to every game in the third-line battle, although the rotation of the team is necessary, But as a player, it is necessary to do this, and during the pre-season game, the club's physical trainer is still training Ke Yan for a purpose, that is, so that Ke Yan can stick to a game as soon as possible.
In last season's Europa League final, although Ke Yan did hold on to the whole game, but after the game, Ke Yan didn't even have the physical strength to celebrate, he could only lie on the pitch and couldn't move, and in that case, Ke Yan was completely relying on his own willpower to play the game, which was a great risk of injury, and the player injury neither the coach nor the club's management wanted to see it, so Ke Yan couldn't really hold on to the pitch safely for 90 minutes. Then Fernando will definitely not let Ke Yan play too many games.
And Ke Yan's growth needs the help of the game's time, only when the game time is enough, Ke Yan can accumulate enough game experience, and turn these experiences into all his own things, improve his ability, Ke Yan is still very young, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
You can't say that the pre-season training has no effect, but for Ke Yan, these effects are what he should do, not after he has done what he has done, he will improve his ability through training, this season is still a long way to go for Ke Yan.
As the days passed, the Portuguese Super Cup was just around the corner, with this year's Portuguese Super Cup being played at Guimarães' home stadium, the Don Alfonso Henriquez Stadium, and the team travelled to Guimarães in the north of Portugal three days earlier to prepare for the game.
This game is the first game of the new season in Portugal, and both teams are also very serious about the result of this game, both sides are Portuguese Super League giants, this game, is not destined to be an easy game.
Ke Yan was placed on the bench, Fernando must use the safest tactics, Ke Yan's current physical strength does not know if he can last too long, and this game is only one game, Fernando has to consider the possibility of extra time and penalty shootouts, the team's other center Lucas is a player who has been playing on the field for several years, and his physical fitness can last for 90 minutes, so Fernando chose to let Ke Yan sit on the bench, According to the situation on the field, we will discuss when Ke Yan will be able to play.
Ke Yan doesn't have much opinion on the fact that he is sitting on the bench, and it is not the first time he has sat on the bench to watch the game, the coach has no big deal to put himself on the bench out of tactical considerations, Ke Yan can understand, of course, Ke Yan is most concerned about when he can play in this game, and if he does, what role he must play.
One hundred and twenty minutes is too long, and if he could, he hoped that within 90 minutes the team would be able to settle the battle and win the first trophy of the new season. (To be continued.) )
