Chapter 9: The Uproar
This personnel change is arguably the most sensational event in the history of Villa FC, and it is a major event that will go down in history even in world football. Is it a step backwards or an improvement www.biquge.info the groundbreaking addition of a team owner to the team's coaching staff, or a club of Aston Villa's level? Is it self-surrender or absolute control? For a while, it was boiling and detonated the end of the season of the European League, and even the hot discussion about the ownership of the major league championships was covered by this news, which was more sensational than the previous incident of taking over the club and Christmas Eve, and the headlines of the major media were also more and more terrifying.
"Aston Villa or become a toy for China's rich second generation", "Chinese are used to making history? "The Revolution That Changed the Football Circle? Bosses, managers, and coaches are expected to have three careers in the future", "Unruly young rich Chinese may become public enemies", "Live-action football managers may be staged in the Premier League", "Aston Villa rises? Sink? 》……
A series of reports are all opposing or skeptical arguments, unanimously singing and declining, and even the media that have spoken for Li Haolong many times have raised doubts, after all, this matter is too shocking and deviant, and now in the impression of these foreigners Chinese it is not only rich, but also synonymous with boldness, and Europe, which is already in a panic, is singing "the wolf is coming", and this sentiment is not only in the football circle, but also spreads throughout the Western world......
At the Podimoya-Schiff training base, Li Haolong is still in a good mood, and he is meeting the players for the first time as an assistant coach.
"Hey, take it easy, I'm just one more profession, you don't have to look at me like an alien!" Li Haolong began the identity transformation between the players in a relaxed tone, and the players were also amused.
"I think you should know the truth, Petrov is your manager, I have the same rights as him in secret, and I am very grateful for Petrov's sacrifice. In front of you, I have made no secret of my ambition to take control of the situation, and I want to build a team that fully bears my imprint, and you are all the players I have chosen, and you are the basic skeleton of this giant battleship in the future. I know I'm still young, and most of the people here are older than me, and that's not a problem at all. Now I'm an unruly outlier in the eyes of the outside world, I don't care what they think, but I care about you, are you willing to grow with me and create an atypical dynasty by unconventional means? ”
"Yes!" The players have stated that they have been told by their agents that as long as the club's ambitions are undiminished and the funds are continuous, they don't care too much about who is in charge, not to mention that the young Mr. Chairman has his unique personality charm and affinity, as well as his unique football insights and professional standards, these things have been seen in the chairman who usually comes to the training ground, and the players have become accustomed to the existence of the owner on the sidelines of the training ground.
"These are the two fitness coaches Gaudino and the fitness restorer Coty, whom I specially hired from Lippi's coaching team, because they are currently members of the coaching staff of the Chinese national team, so they can only help us as consultants. These two must have heard of it, famous, brilliant, are Italy 06 years to win the championship of the meritorious, respectively in Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Chelsea and other clubs coached, with their help, I think we will be stronger, yesterday has been after the post-match recovery training, this morning training we first practice an hour of fitness, in the afternoon to practice another hour of set-pieces. ”
Gaudino and Coty were borrowed by Li Haolong after negotiating with the Chinese Football Association and paid a lot of salary, taking advantage of the Chinese national team to serve Aston Villa when there was no training task, in order to obtain the consent of the Football Association, Li Haolong signed a cooperation plan with the Football Association, as long as the then head coach is willing to come to the overseas training camp of the national team in the future, the Aston Villa club has agreed to provide the venue, and can also arrange for the national team and the club to train and recruit together. At the same time, the two of them also drove a GPS system monitoring instrument called "Starsports", through which you can know how much physical energy the players have expended in training, how much distance they have run, how much acceleration and direction they have run, and the entire function of the body during the running. Li Haolong also tried his best to improve the team's coaching staff and make up for his shortcomings.
Although Gaudino is 66 years old, but definitely not an old antique, he is very willing to accept all kinds of new technology, his training is a lot of combination of various technical means, the legendary Gaudino training intensity is very high, compressed in a training session with a lot of content, the rhythm is very fast, but the effect is also obvious, he followed Lippi to Evergrande, Evergrande's physical condition improved quickly, often in the second half there is plenty of physical strength to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, and soon has the nickname of "the second half that can't be provoked".
Taking advantage of Gaudino's practice, Li Haolong introduced Coty to Walfatte, Coty's recovery methods include restorative motor regulation, physiotherapy and even psychological counseling, which is basically the top in this field, when he heard that the physiotherapy room is also equipped with a number of Chinese medicine masseurs when he was very happy, he has been in China for several years and gradually accepted some methods of Chinese medicine, and even acupuncture is not excluded, he suggested that the team can try to give acupuncture to the players, the analgesic effect is significant, there is soreness, the effect is also obvious.
Li Haolong also exchanged views with the old doctor in this turmoil, he was one of the first foreigners to contact Li Haolong, and he had already seen Li Haolong's ambition, he had already prepared in his heart, but he didn't react much, he understood the temptation of this challenge, just like him, he came to the UK at such an old age, isn't it this challenge? What's more, he is still at a vigorous age. Wolfath is very satisfied with his current life, in addition to the feeling of full control of the team's medical work, the clinic that has been built has also begun to open for business, and has successfully treated the British general public, which has been widely praised, and the old man is in the second spring stage of high spirits.
Other acquaintances in the circle are about to blow up Li Haolong's mobile phone in the past few days, and Wenger also called, euphemistically putting forward his different opinions. In the eyes of most people, the capital is responsible for investment, and should not interfere too much in the club's affairs, because most of the investors are laymen, but Li Haolong is not, he has this confidence and this ability. After receiving it, there were many calls and a bit of a headache, Li Haolong simply transferred the call to the voicemail, no matter what, he had to withstand this difficult period.
