A lot of the time a football coach's job is a circle that doesn't stop, if there is only one game a week, then after the Saturday game, there is usually a day off on Sunday, and if there is no rest on Sunday. On Monday morning, the team will regroup for about 10 training sessions a week, starting with the post-game summary and physical recovery phase, watching the video to find problems, and the coaches and players talking one-on-one, just like Hydward just did, if there is no holiday on Sunday, this thing will usually be held on this day, and if there is a holiday, it will be on Monday morning.

The second stage is the physical and tactical training stage, the coach is responsible for arranging, the players are responsible for execution, whenever this time the manager is more busy, Hydward seems to have endless work, and he can't stop eating.

What is a workout? This includes four major subjects of strength, speed, endurance, and flexibility and dozens of small subjects. Whoever practices has a special arrangement wherever they practice, and they can no longer greet these young people with a solid ball.

What is tactical training? This includes individual tactics, group tactics and team tactics. Individual tactics is also known as technical training, and many players such as the skilled Riyad Mahrez and Ali enjoyed this training session very much.

There are more tactical categories in the group, and some people will play 2v2 in a separate field; 3V3 and so on, like the German coach Loew and the Italian coach Conte are very obsessed with 5V5. This separately opened field will also practice such as playing more and playing less, playing more with less, counterattacking quickly, regional defense and so on. Group tactical training is made up of many, many scattered trainings to exercise the tacit understanding and prediction of the players. Many of the new signings have not performed well in the team, which is basically caused by a serious lack of tactical training in the group, and Portsmouth has such a problem this winter.

The tactics of the whole team are the simplest, that is, to simulate the actual combat of real swords and guns, generally at this time, the players have 13 numbers in their hearts about who is the main force and who is the substitute.

The third stage of this circle, that is, to make a battle plan before the game, usually on Friday morning, Hydward will send the information that Perlanch collected and sorted out to the players, set up the formation, divide the area, assign the players' tasks and responsibilities, and clarify the role of the players in this game, such as: whether the midfielder can shoot from a distance, whether the wing needs to go down or a 45-degree pass, and try to let everyone play without questions. In the game where Portsmouth eliminated Manchester United, Schneider came on as a substitute and had a rather beautiful assist, and Heidward took advantage of Ferguson's lack of preparation for the opponent, and his players had no idea that Schneider was good at crossing.

The fourth stage, the important and unimportant stage, set-piece training! Many coaches attach great importance to it, and generally take half a day to a day to do drills, for example, some head teams, when playing the game, 10-0-0 invincible bus, a corner kick set piece screaming forward, leaving a goalkeeper fullback behind, at a glance, it is specifically for training! Hydward rarely studied set-piece tactics, so Pompey has not scored half a set-piece since he was in charge, but has lost several, but he still does not change, in the final analysis, it is still four words - Lao Tzu will not!

These four stages basically finished more than 10 lessons a week, and then before entering the final stage of the game, on Saturday morning, Hydward will lead the players to review the content of the previous lessons, and strive to learn from the past and learn from the new, and then develop some B plan C plan on the basis of plan A, some body movements of the general coach on the sidelines are triggers, I heard that Mourinho's action is to knock on the notebook or hand a note, Wenger's action is to zip up, of course, since the professor's clothes have quality problems, He gave up on this tactical move. What the? You ask Hydward? The players want to know too! The personality of our protagonist is that there is never a Plan B, it's life or death, it's as simple as that.

In the afternoon, before entering the dressing room, the coach would ask the players to adjust their state of mind, and then make a tirade to soothe the players' fluttering little hearts, and Mahrez was quoted as a joke when he went to the toilet five times an hour when he played in his first professional league game against Reading. When you enter the locker room to teach the coach, you will not arrange any tactics on the spot, at most you will tell the players when they change their clothes and shoes, and then go to the battlefield, because this is the player's territory, or silence or the captain makes a speech, few coaches have anything, in order to ensure absolute privacy, the coach is still chattering before the start of the game will not appear in real life, and there will be no low-level mistakes such as the coach putting fans in, of course, the manager will still say something at halftime, Keep the time to 10 minutes or less.

In this infinite loop, players and managers have had to sacrifice most of their family lives, and of course there is still time to have a meal with his wife and mother-in-law, but Hydward is still half an hour late.

Zhang Jingru looked at Hydeward's slightly tired appearance, and suddenly deeply understood, "Before football brings you social status and wealth, he is first and foremost a job", and the difficulty of this job is beyond ordinary mental or physical work.

"Come, eat some food first, you're hungry." Zhang Jingru took the initiative to put chopsticks into Hydward's bowl, and then pushed the dishes that had been ordered before in front of him.

He put the gifts he bought in his mother-in-law's hand, then handed the two tickets to Chen Xi, and said: "This is the home ticket for the fifth round of the FA Cup at half past seven on Thursday night, the VIP box. ”

The girl smiled and put the ticket in her bag.

The place where the British league bastard is this schedule is this schedule, last week plus the national team match day for 9 days in a row, and this week directly two games a week, as a coach, how much I hate two games a week Just look at the training schedule above. All the overall planning was disrupted, except for the FA Cup and the league to prepare, and the players couldn't absorb anything for two or three days.

The three of them chatted while eating, which had a warm family feeling.

Zhang Jingru took the initiative to ask about the topic of Pompey's legion sponsorship, he had already planned ahead, so he naturally spoke in unison with Sencibilai.

After five flavors, Hydward took out two documents from the sports bag he carried with him and handed them to Zhang Daboss, the first one is a relevant information about a football equipment technology company, which has been engaged in the research and development of cutting-edge football equipment technology for many years, such as the footbanout ball feeder that will shine next year because of the Dortmund club, which is from the company's R&D team, which has encountered some difficulties this year because of the financial crisis.

Again, the second source is a European football data analysis company, which is a little short of the previous one, not the same as Arsenal's StatDNA football data analysis company or the old scouting website yscout, but it is strong and fast-growing. The company was acquired by StatDNA two years later, and then provided technical support for the Football Manager game, and it was in those years that Arsenal in FM became the number one team in the universe.

"These two are both companies with great potential, and they are also the technology support that Portsmouth is in desperate need, Auntie, you might as well buy it, it must be much more cost-effective than the club. Technology is the primary productive force, isn't it? Hydward patiently persuaded his mother-in-law how to properly devote herself to football.

Zhang Jingru flipped through the information and fell into deep thought.

She closed the information, and the more she looked at her future son-in-law, the more satisfied she became, and suddenly asked, "Alas, Ward, are your parents in England?" ”

…

He was still chewing food in his mouth, took a sip of water, and said calmly: "No, they are traveling in Canada." ”
