November 1, 2012.

Looking at such a team of uneven heights, shortness, fatness and thinness, Luo Changhai, who came over to encourage the team, suddenly felt a little lacking in confidence, and hurriedly said a few words of encouragement and left.

After Lin Wenlei linked the players in front of him with the players in the video, the more he watched, the happier he became.

However, he is not good at encouraging words, and after introducing himself and the members of the coaching staff, he introduced the arrangement of the team. Most of them are junior high school students, and there are also two junior high school students, all of whom are arranged by the sports committee to study in two key junior high schools in the city. They usually live in the base dormitory, and are picked up by the club shuttle, and the club also has two retired teachers who are specially hired to supervise and manage their studies.

Hearing that the training schedule was two hours in the afternoon and one and a half hours each in the morning and afternoon on Saturday, some of the players were happy, while a few whispered that the training time was insufficient.

"If you're happy, don't be happy, don't worry if you're worried about the training time, it's short, but you definitely have to grit your teeth to keep training. There's no excuse to skip training here, the team doctor knows your physical condition better than you do. ”

After striking them at ease, Team Keeper Shelly and Adi's staff began handing out gear. Everyone has a full set of professional gear, and it is also necessary to keep track of the fitness level of the players, especially the shoes, and further adapt them to the shape and habits of the foot.

These are the things that make them happy, and those who are anxious will change to eager to try it on the spot.

But Lin Wenlei arranged for them to sit in the stands, and U12 became the protagonist of the stadium.

The U12 team is now led by Wang Xinze, Zhou Hongluo, and Andre Kohler, and new forwards Gu Ling, Xiang Haoran and midfielder Zhao Lei have been added, all of whom are particularly talented players.

Lin Wenlei stood next to the U15 players and said:

"It doesn't matter how you used to play and what your habits were, the players below are what we ask for here. So watch and figure out how you're going to play. ”

At first, the team members were a little dismissive, thinking that they were just little kids. But when it came to kicking, both sides were running very smoothly and with their own characteristics, which was far higher than they imagined.

"No, these kids pass the ball so accurately... This fits..."

Lin Wenlei waited for them to sigh before he spoke:

"Why do you pass the ball accurately? Because teammates have observed before passing the ball to their teammates, it is often the vacant players who get the ball. That's the first requirement of my team: don't do more than you can do, and don't ask your teammates to do more than they can do. I am not allowed to pass the ball here, and I must be responsible for handing the ball to my teammates, including observing it in advance and responding to it afterwards. If you can't find a safe way to get the ball out, it's your teammate's problem, but you can't pass the buck for that, what do you do? Break with the ball! It's okay to be abrupt, there's credit for breaking through, but I'll punish you immediately if you miss the pass. ”

"Coach, isn't this a conceded goal?"

Someone hid behind and asked questions. Lin Wenlei didn't care who was talking, pointing to the field and explaining:

'When you're forced to block, the goal is expected by the players, so it's mentally prepared to deal with it. But you throw the ball out, pass it to whom, who is it to, can you hold your teammates and you are completely unprepared, that has a big impact on the defense?"

After most of them agreed, Lin Wenlei stretched out his second finger:

"Second, my team requires you to play with your brain, and you are both a pawn on the board and a player who plays chess. It's up to you to influence your opponents, the players around you, your teammates, and the whole game with your performance. Even if you're a substitute, that's fine, so I don't allow irresponsibility. It's okay to make mistakes, it's okay to make mistakes, but if you don't use your brains to play casually, then I'll be responsible for the whole team, stop your game or even ask you to leave. ”

After taking a sip of mineral water, Lin Wenlei stretched out a third finger:

"Thirdly, football is a competitive sport, but it is also a sport. Especially at your age, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. ”

After saying this, Lin Wenlei left enough time for the players to be surprised, and then said:

"In my opinion, before playing professional football, any game is a means of training you to improve yourself. So, in my case, you just treat every game as a lesson, and if you don't learn this lesson well, then make up for it. As long as you don't make any mistakes and the team rules, I'll always give you the opportunity to perform, and I'm not going to make too many mistakes and get abandoned. It is safe to be bold to try, to practice, and to make mistakes. ”

He then held out a fourth finger and pointed to the field:

"There is a premise for allowing you to experiment, to practice, to make mistakes: a solid foundation and reasonable movements. I'm going to do a lot of repetitive basic exercises to minimize your chances of making mistakes, otherwise the whole team will keep making mistakes, so what's the point of playing? Right. If you don't accept this, quit as soon as possible, because you have no future in this team. ”

Combined with the U12 initial meeting of his requirements, it was very intuitive to explain to his new players the differences from their previous training, simple and clear, and the players knew each other more deeply.

The U12s are now playing a role as a seed and a role model, and in addition to what was shown in the game, the devolution of young players to age-appropriate teams has also played a direct role. Wang Ying, Wang Zheng, Gao Fei, and Liu Jintong are each in a U8 team, and Pan Mo, Shang Zheng, and Wei Yi are incorporated into the U10, which has driven the rhythm and style of the whole team.

Then in the first training match of U15, Lin Wenlei transferred Wei Yi and Luo Li to the two teams of U15 to play the core, and they controlled the pace of the game, which surprised everyone.

Although he stipulated that the players were not allowed to rush and collide with each other, giving them room to control the team, at first he felt that this was a kind of nonsense, and it was also a manifestation of his preference for the team he led.
