Chapter 89: Reconciliation
Jacques thought for a long time, then said, "I guess this is a try, do you have any specific plans?" ”
"No, this kind of short pass penetration is mainly based on the skill and spirituality of the players. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is often just the feeling of passing the ball. If we limit the passing path of the player, then it will be driven out by the opponent. I think it's just about telling the players that and letting them play on the pitch, and I don't think Zinedin will let us down. ”
Jacques stared at Fan Shang with wide eyes, he probably thought it was a bit unbelievable to be so free-spirited. However, Fan Shang confirmed that with a player like Zidane taking the lead, there is no need to say anything at all, Zidane will control the team's rhythm very well. At that time, if Zidane has a problem on the field, it is not too late to directly change to a defensive counterattack. Besides, Djokaeff is also a good midfielder, and Deschamps can also take the ball and organize it a little.
"Is that okay?" Yakai, who was quite firm just now, was also a little shaken at this time.
"But try it in the warm-up game, it's best if you succeed, if it doesn't work, think of another way."
"Then you tell the players when you train tomorrow," Jacques said
Fan Shang frowned, "Aimee, it's better for you to come." I think I'm new to the team, maybe I don't have that kind of qualifications yet, but as a manager, you're more formal. "Fan Shang has long made up his mind to be invisible in this European Cup, so he won't do this kind of thing." I'm here mainly to give you ideas, and I don't care about the rest," Fan Shang further picked.
Yakai smiled bitterly and shook his head, he did say that letting Fan Shang come to the national team was to give him an idea, and now Fan Shang's words to evade responsibility, Yakai has no way.
In training the next day, Jacques really accepted Fan Shang's suggestion, asked Zidane and other midfielders to strengthen the coordination of short passes, and also emphasized the need to improve ball possession in the rematch.
Days of training are fast in the way of France, who will play their first warm-up match before the start of the European Championship in Strasbourg on May 29 against Finland.
In fact, the official home stadium of the French national team is at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, but every warm-up match before the big tournament will carry out activities to benefit fans across France, and the warm-up matches will be played in other cities in France to repay the fans for their support for the national team.
Because the strength of the Finnish team is really not strong, France played this game with ease, Zidane controlled the midfield very well, and for Jacques to improve the possession rate, France's midfield and backfield also did a good job. But in Vincent's view, they are too superficial, possessing the ball for the sake of possession, rather than possessing and reversing the ball in order to tear apart the opposition's defence.
In the end, France beat Finland 2-0 in Strasbourg with goals from Loko and Pedros.
During the game, Fan Shang barely spoke to Yakai, just watched the game silently. After the game, Jacques pulled Fan Shang and asked him what he thought of today's game.
Fan Shang thought about it, and finally honestly said his thoughts. But he finally added, "Aimee, I think strengthening the running of the teamless players is what we need now, I can't do this anymore, what do you think of Roger?" ”
Jacques thought for a moment, nodded in agreement with Vincent's statement, and then went to Le Maire.
"Le fatty, tell you to show me all day long. Running without the ball is a big project, and you can't live up to my expectations! Fan Shang thought darkly in his heart.
Although Le Fat Man is a little small-minded, he is meticulous in his work, and he has seriously studied running without the ball after receiving the task given to him by Yakai. In training, he also constantly explained to the players the position he had set for running without the ball. Fan Shang looked at the busy Le Fat Man, and he began to ask himself, "Although he has some problems with this fat man, he still has two brushes for his understanding and formulation of tactics, should I ease the relationship with him?" ”
Fan Shang thought about this for a day, and finally gritted his teeth and decided to do it. So he got two nice bottles of red wine from outside the training base, bought a few more bottles of spirits, and knocked on Le Maire's room door in the evening.
About an hour later, Le Maire sent Fan Shang out of his room with a smile, and he was very satisfied with Fan Shang's expression. However, what the two of them talked about is unknown to others.
Since then, the two have been exchanging frequently, with Vincent interjecting from time to time as Le Maire explains the tactics to the players, and Le Maire often discusses the team's problems with Vincent and Jacquet.
In fact, Fan Shang didn't do much that day, after entering the door, he simply said a word of drinking and drank two glasses of spirits, and then in Lemaire's surprised gaze, Fan Shang said to him very calmly, everyone in the Celestial Empire drinks like this. After two more glasses of wine, Vincent began to point out some of the shortcomings in Le Maire's run-off tactics today. This made Lemaire, who was already a little wide-eyed, expand his two eyelids again, and he was still a little angry at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt that what Fan Shang said was very reasonable, and the more he listened, the more he felt that Fan Shang was not the kind of person who relied on luck and shameless tricks to win.
Le Maire went from surprise to anger, then from anger to doubt, and finally from doubt to appreciation. In less than half an hour after Vincent entered the door, he conquered Le Maire in terms of expertise.
Fan Shang looked at the fat man and listened to him, and nodded his head, feeling that the time had come, so he threw out his purpose for tonight, "Roger, how long do you think Aimee will sit in the head coach position?" ”
Le Maire didn't react for a while, and looked at Fan Shang in a daze.
"I don't think it will be more than the '98 World Cup. If the grades are good, Aimee will retire with success. If the results are not good, then the Football Association will let Aimee 'retire after success', right? Vincent did not wait for Le Maire to answer, "Then if according to the tradition of the Football Association, the new head coach will be produced among the assistant coaches, that is, further, from you, I and the two of you, right?" ”
Le Maire was noncommittal, but Vincent saw the approval in his eyes.
"Well, for the sake of fairness, I think the two of us should coach each of us. If you coach Euro 2000, I will coach the 2002 World Cup, and if you coach the World Cup, I will coach the European Championship, what do you think? ”
Le Maire didn't expect Fan Shang to say this, he looked at Fan Shang incredulously, and still didn't say a word.
Fan Shang's one-man show will continue to sing, "Roger, I am very serious when I say this. I really want us to be together in the team, I know you may have a little bit of a problem with me coming, but I'm here to help the team, you have to believe me, I really want the national team to do well. Looking at Lemaire's eyes that were still a little disbelieving, Fan Shang continued, "You may not believe me now, but it doesn't matter, you can record it for me, I will repeat what I just said, if you don't believe it anymore, we can find a reliable lawyer to sign such an agreement, no problem." ”
Vincent said everything he should have said, so he looked at Le Maire and waited for his response. And Le Maire also stared at Fan Shang for a long time, as if he wanted to see Fan Shang thoroughly.
After more than ten minutes, Lemaire frowned and nodded, "I believe that I want to coach the World Cup." ”
Fan Shang breathed a long sigh of relief, "No problem, Roger, if the Football Association looks for me at that time, I will only sign a two-year contract, and I will recommend you after the European Cup, of course, if my grades are not good, you can find someone else to recommend it, hehe." However, this is all based on the fact that the Football Association acts in accordance with the tradition of the head coach leaving the assistant coach, and if there is any accident, we must be unanimous! ”
Le Maire also smiled, he suddenly felt that Fan Shang was actually a very interesting person, he just wanted to be the head coach of the national team too much, and he saw the blind rejection of those who came to grab their jobs. Now everything is said to have been opened, as if a knot has suddenly been untied, and everything has suddenly become clear.
"By the way, Roger, you still have to promise me one more thing," Vincent suddenly remembered something, and Lemaire's brow furrowed again, "I hope you have been on the coaching staff, and I will need your help very much when the time comes." If you need my help, I'm here to help. ”
