Chapter 6: Eddie Ron's Training Lesson (Part I)

The time is 9:27 a.m. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info sweating profusely Edward Ron arrived from the training ground to the conference room. Everyone stood up and greeted him. He walked in front of Zhang Lihua with a confused face, and only cared about reporting the training to the young marshal.

Zhang Lihua is very satisfied with the intensity of his physical training. Through the dark ink window, you can see the exhausted Joey Barton, breathless and full of indignation.

Zhang Lihua smiled and handed over the tactical reconnaissance report compiled by old George to the "assistant coach" Eddie. Everyone watched Eddie Ron's reaction until he nodded his head in agreement with the tactical analysis.

"Very meticulously analyzed. Very good. I will try to arrange the formation as soon as possible through actual training. Guys, Mister Chang has given us full trust, and we should do our best to help him in our work. ”

After speaking, a round of applause was dedicated to Zhang Lihua and Eddie Ron.

The rest of the coaching staff seemed to have received some kind of authoritative recognition, and one by one they breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their respective positions.

Zhang Lihua communicated with Eddie alone about the preparations for the competition, and finally directly asked a few rather sensitive topics.

"Eddie. Tell me, what are the key positions that we should make in the winter window? ”

"If you think about it, you can consider Ligue 1's young Lilleau talent, Edam Hazard. He has a higher passing efficiency value than Ben Arfa and is expected to be very active on the left and in the middle, which is a hundred times better than Gutierrez. But ......"

"But what, Eddie? So do you think Gutierrez and Colocini can find the best replacements, I mean, let's only prioritize supernovas under the age of 20. Can you provide a list? ”

"Misty Zhang, don't worry. In my personal experience, you don't have to rush to purge the old players in the middle of the season. However, you and I can also consider adding one or two plug-and-play geniuses. I can provide two or three suitable candidates. If I can, let me personally visit France. ”

"Then let's talk about it first, which three guys are they? Is the price more appropriate? ”

"The Belgian boy of the Lille team, 25 million euros can definitely be won. Raphael Varane of the Ligue 1 team will be able to buy out his contract for around 10 million euros. Forward, I recommend Tottenham's Harry Kane, who has the same talent as Wayne Rooney and complements Andy. If you think about it, I'll call Harry Kane's father and use my circle of friends, and it's not hard to do. ”

"Oh? Ha ha! Well, I'll keep in touch with you at all times, and I'll see how the lads are doing later. Raise them in any way you can think of! I'm sorry for you, Eddie. ”

"yes, okay." Edward Ron picked up the "Old George Notes" on his desk, stared at the tactical reports with obsessive eyes, and walked to the training ground as he flipped through the papers.

Seeing his infatuation of concentrating on preparing for work, Zhang Lihua felt happy and apprehensive. Almost every training he could think of had to be coordinated by Eddie for the time being.

Zhang Lihua only left Fei Mo and himself to shrink in the conference room, carefully watching the recent rounds of Premier League broadcasts.

Fat Mo said: "Eddie, this guy is a workaholic! Man, you're in for a treat. He's there after all. He's like a donkey. ”

"Study the video in peace, it's a lot more interesting than Wall Street's data section. You say that Eddie works so hard, but you and I are like a Mizuse. Not only water, but also lazy. If it goes on like this, sooner or later it will be a goof. I, and-you, have to learn something from the members of the coaching staff. Otherwise, who would take me seriously? ”

Yes. Obviously, Eddie Rohn is more recognized and respected by the coaching staff than Zhang Lihua. With Eddie's accumulated fame in English football, he has no less weight than a manager in the Rigberton base alone.

Nominally, the assistant coach of Newcastle United is still the Yankee nicknamed "Fat Mo". But the role of Fei Mo is limited to managing the relationship between all parties and conveying special instructions to the boss. This is not much more advanced than the nature of the broker.

The only candidate who can really share the pressure for Zhang Shaoshuai in the team's important strategic decisions is Eddie Ron. But Zhang Lihua may not be a little wary of Eddie.

Ron was directing the players in training on the sidelines, and all that came out of his mouth was professional football jargon. This person wears a blue and white Adi Falcon training uniform all year round, and the whistle and megaphone are never left of him. He even likes to visualize the technical and tactical drills of the team members with the naked eye, and when he sees who is not active in running, he will immediately come forward to reprimand.

This kind of style is worthy of an industry elite who has been in the football world for many years. Without him, Rigberton's training would have been completely incompatible.

Zhang Lihua has worked Wall Street for many years, and his mind is extremely sensitive and delicate. This inevitably creates a lot of concerns about the current state of the team. It seems that he is very satisfied with Suna's recruitment work, but he is ashamed of his lack of experience.

As the so-called strength is not good, the team is top, and the strategy is insufficient to make up for the lack of resources. Today, the configuration of Newcastle's coaching staff can be called the most layered and efficient model among the major giants of the Premier League.

From training supervisors to strength and conditioning trainers, young and old have a certain amount of fame, experience, and talent. Even the goalkeeper coach is a big bowl - David Seaman, who has played for the Three Lions for many years (dissatisfied with Wenger's stinginess, voluntarily applied to jump ship).

Everyone should be very familiar with it. is the Arsenal legend who was played by Ronaldinho and lived up to his courage and retired angrily.

Although Seaman has had a very regrettable defeat in his career, his skills and qualities as a goalkeeper are enough to make him worthy of the honor of "the best homegrown goalkeeper in the Premier League for 20 years". Presumably, the two unknown geniuses - Krull and Frazer Foster - will soon show their due immediacy through his personal training.

At this moment, Zhang Lihua has quickly reviewed the work copy that must be reviewed within a week.

For example, the "Comprehensive Assessment Report on the Technical and Tactical Strength of Newcastle United" approved by the coaching staff meeting.

The final checklist, the CA/PA (Strength/Potential List), was carefully considered by George Sr. and Hunter Joyce.

The competitive strength and potential of all the players of the team are clearly lined up in front of the projector.

At the top of the overall power rankings is undoubtedly the team's MVP Ben Arfa. This was followed by Andy Carroll and Dutch goalkeeper Krul. The subsequent rankings are equally discerning.

George Sr. used red parentheses to classify the following six people as Level 1, indicating that these little ones need special care.

They are: F. Foster, Laudridge, Gries, Steve Taylor, Ryan Taylor and Danny Simpson.

These six are of similar age, and their athleticism and sense of competition are quite bright spots. But judging from the form they showed in the game, as the game progressed, their form stability and explosiveness were often inferior to the rising stars of some giants' reserve teams.

George Sr. particularly cites Paul Pogba in Manchester United's Under-18s and Szczesny in Arsenal's reserves.

In the comparative analysis of the video album, what is clearly visible is the unstoppable impact of the two giants and the inexhaustible fighting spirit.

As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. In the Premier League, where speed and physicality are all about it, the significance of a moment's cowardice versus a moment's explosion can affect the outcome of a game.

Sometimes the difference between a game and the outcome of a game is determined by the state of the overall team in a split second.

The 17-year-old, who has been brought in from France's club Le Havre, will undoubtedly be at the heart of United's midfield for the next decade. He was at the top of George Sr.'s "Reserve Team Match Analysis List". Zhang Lihua attaches great importance to his game video.

However, it is difficult to poach people from Manchester United's youth system.

Reading George Sr.'s scouting report, it is inevitable that you will not be interested in the wave after wave of talented stars who are as bright as diamonds. However, the reputation of the Magpie Legion and the influence of his own Young Marshal Zhang are far from qualified. The Premier League's local talents have always been scarce, so they will do it according to Eddie's ideas, and the selection of materials still needs to look at Ligue 1.

is not as good as those veterans who have dominated Britain for decades, so first polish the embryos of the stars in the team.

Coupled with the team's offensive fulcrum - Andy Carroll, these young players born in 87 to 89 have been privately named "Rigberton Seven Little Blessings" by Zhang Lihua. As members of the team's special training team, they will be transferred to a special training group designed by Andy himself.

It was around 10:30 a.m. that Zhang Lihua stepped onto the lawn of the Rigburton training ground for the first time.

At this time, Eddie was arranging the steps of combination training for the members of the "Seven Little Blessings". The day's training includes the strengthening of consciousness and will, as well as the deepening of the overall tandem running.

Lo and behold, Eddie whistled hurriedly, starting with Andy Carroll, plus Krull, a total of eight times of training, a total of four groups. Each of them carries a ball and moves back and forth in a fifteen-meter straight line that Eddie has drawn with white spray. For each move, the two players on the left and right will exchange the ball for the first time. The pass must be in place with one foot and must not be deflected. If there is a mistake, the previously completed project will be restarted, and the same rate of dribbling must be maintained between the team members.

This group of training seems to be very ordinary, but when it is really implemented, it has a great test of the tacit understanding between each group of players.

Andy Carroll and Laudridge are in a group, and the two have far between. Andy has a big body and extremely awkward dribbling, and Laudridge is small and fast, but the dribbling action is not formal enough. This group of partners couldn't cooperate at all in more than ten minutes. As a result, he dribbled the ball back and forth more than ten times, and each time he exchanged balls, he was deflected. It's no wonder that in the first few rounds of the league, Laudridge didn't succeed once after changing the pitch to play for Andy Carroll.

Zhang Lihua finds similar training very strange and interesting. But he was anxious to see the results of his players' training. The only thing satisfying is the combination of Griss and Steve Taylor.

One plays at the back and the other at the center of the attack, and the two pass extremely frequently in the game, and the tacit understanding is reflected in all aspects of training. Since Griss and S Taylor were very calling, Zhang Lihua immediately asked Eddie Ron to arrange for Tiot, who only joined this season, to cooperate with Steve Taylor.

With the same set of "straight dribbling + passing to each other" awareness training, the tacit understanding between Tiott and Steve Taylor is obviously several levels worse. It's no wonder that in the last round of the league, Tiott and all the players in the backline couldn't be consistent. Frank Lampard's first goal came when Tiot leaked after a scramble.

Just Eddie Ron's ordinary quiz shows the strangeness and intimacy between adjacent players. Dribbling and passing without interference cannot guarantee absolute fluency, and the specific effect when put into the official game can be imagined.

Newcastle relied on a very classical style of play in the Championship last season, very brutal. This season's promotion has not yet changed the team's tactical thinking, so it has completely ruined the skill and talent of the Latin players led by Jose Enrique, Coloccini and Ben Arfa.

For the time being, Eddie can only inject some small-scale interaction into the training, so that the skills of all the players can be warmed up.

The next match will be against the technical and physical "Toffee" Everton. If the team wants to keep a draw, they can play a game of defensive counter-attacks. If the target is to score three points directly, then in just three days, you will have to reap a certain training effect, then it is really a good test of Zhang Shaoshuai's IQ and Edward Ron's experience.
