Chapter 247: Dead Ball
Early one morning, Heidward boarded a flight to Westster, Germany, where he was holding a paper from the American Coaching Association on player communication.
At the beginning of the article, he bluntly pointed out that many of the players he coached never had satisfactory communication on the court, and that the really smart players always provided their teammates with simple and clear information to help them solve problems, and they orchestrated their attacks like chess masters, so that the football was passed from one teammate to another.
What is a player Most players will just look at the player who is in possession and shout his name: "Tom", "Jack", "David", "Ben"
Poor Jack stood in the midfield, trying his best to avoid two aggressive opponents, and the only help he got was 1o players calling his name from 1o different directions.
The article instantly made Ward empathize, his team didn't have a few stupid players, the ball intelligence was surprisingly low, Kante and Alli certainly knew what they were called, and what they needed was useful information that could help them get out of their current predicament, even if it was something like "give the ball to Mane", which is really useful information. However, Kante people, all they heard was "Kante Kante"
This is actually a detail that Hydward has not cared about, in a Championship season, how many times Mahrez fought alone, how many times did he replace Drinkwater and Mustafi angrily, did the players play badly or they didn't work hard enough, you must know that Drinkwater has never spared physical strength, running an average of 10,000 per game, just like playing, relentlessly running to revitalize the team's attack, Why can't he do it at Portsmouth, why does the team so often rely on the individual ability of the players to solve the problem, even if so far, he is still tirelessly pursuing those talented teenagers, and last winter, relying on talent to kill the game, will it be repeated?
It's English here
There was a detail that he never cared about, most of the players had poor communication habits because they didn't communicate enough or didn't communicate at all. Any player who only shouts the name of the player as the only way to communicate is not smart enough, and Drinkwater is a midfielder who doesn't communicate much, and when you think about it, the British coaches always force their players to master English, and they can't even play if they can't speak well, and the reason is really simple.
Ward immediately had a picture in his mind as Sadio Mane was in possession again, this time pinned down near the touchline by an opponent who was dedicated to marking him. The ball was between Sadio Mane and the touchline, and he was stuck between his opponent and the ball.
Think about it, can you imagine that picture. 2o meters away, Drinkwater, who was on the other side of that opponent, shouted at Mane: "Mane Mane"
Hydward couldn't help but want to say "e"
Standing 2o metres away and shouting at a team-mate who is under great pressure or even with his back to you to pass the ball to you, the ball will never reach Drinkwater's feet unless Mane can magically pass through his body and then through the opposition player's body and 2o metres over.
How to create this miracle
In fact, it doesn't matter how big the gap in front of Drinkwater is, or how likely it is that he will score after receiving the ball, because Sadio Mane can't pass it to you, and the player is expecting a team-mate to give him an almost impossible pass. In fact, throughout the 1112 season, Ward's players were doing a lot of almost impossible passes, and it turned out that they could do it, which is undoubtedly a testament to their talent, so as a coach, is there anything you can do to help the players
Thinking from a player's point of view, he certainly understands Drinkwater's eagerness to be in that position, but the only use of your shouting is to distract Mane from receiving useful information from other players.
Ward always thinks Kante is powerful, but which of his predictive tackles is not the product of full communication with his teammates, or a look, or a word, why Fred and Kante's double back always spark, you don't see that the Portsmouth kid is the person who knows Kante best in the team, and there are few examples of failure when the two of them close the door and fight the dog, which supports Portsmouth's waist. That's why in the final rounds of the Championship, the young Fred always took advantage of Drinkwater.
There's also a mastery of this at the back, with clear and concise words when communicating with his team-mates. When your team-mate is facing the touchline, Margery is the eye of his team-mate, of course he doesn't know what his team-mate is thinking, but he will shout "watch the back", "watch the time", "turn around", and the decision of your team-mate is in your hands.
In football, when a player has to move the ball to a long pass, if you shout "near side" at the right time, he will of course understand that his team-mates want you to pass the ball close to the post. Calling names is useless, it won't have any effect, don't say stupid things, don't ask for impossible passes, because the ball can't be passed.
Ward put the book on his head and rubbed his temples a little sore, with the memory of the first four or five years, now he can still win all the heroes in the world, rely on a set of young heroes to kill the game with talent, and rely on the personal ability of the star to kill the game, but after four or five years, can you still be the savior of that Portsmouth, can't you win the game, don't all the coaches become Tony Donne.
Pep Guardiola said that there is another way to win, Mourinho said I was a natural winner, Carlo Ancelotti said that the players are my Christmas tree, Benitez said that the players are all flags, Wenger said my ordinary road, Klopp said that I am an ordinary one This is the coach, the real coach, they chase victory, chase faith, so Guardiola is tired of his players crying for the farewell ceremony, Materazzi sat in front of Mourinho's apartment for two hours, Bean forgot his birthday and never forgot to send flower baskets to the victims on Hillsborough Remembrance
Ward knew at some point that he needed to build up as much as he could, and in England, in troubled times, this was the best training ground, whether it was tactical play, team style, or whatever.
If the gold finger expires one day, it can't be filled with Q coins, and there is no way to become stronger, all you can rely on is like the rainy night when you first arrived in 2o11, the remnants of the army were defeated, and the financial status quo was broken.
In addition, an old actor named Tom is planning to bankrupt the club and become independent, and he is starting over.
Just like his De Bruyne plan this time.
