Chapter 7: Eddie Ron's Training Lesson (Part II)
Newcastle United's previous tactical philosophy was very backward. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBefore the arrival of Ben Alpha, Newcastle played double flying and went down the baseline to find a center forward to grab points for decades. At that time, with Alan Shearer in charge, whatever the mediocre manager played, the effect was always passable. Now, such an unborn striker can't even be bought by Real Madrid, let alone the relegation team Newcastle, which is not considered a second-rate giant?
Since Alan Schiller's retirement, the team's coaches have never changed their minds, still only looking for Schiller's successor, and have never considered keeping up with the trend of the times and building a super-first-class midfield core.
After Carrick left, Newcastle didn't even have a person who could pass the ball. Relying on porters like Joey Barton and Alan Smith who lack the big picture and small skills, it is no wonder that the team is not relegated.
Zhang Lihua, with the professional thinking of amateur fans, realized the root of the problem early on. His rush to ask Eddie Ron for his opinion on the transfer is enough to show his dissatisfaction with the structure of this team. However, Eddie Ron has his own opinion, which is the professional opinion of a professional coach.
Eddie feels that Newcastle's current style of play will not be transformed overnight.
Great teams such as Barça under Rijkaard did not win the league title for eight years before the core was officially determined.
Barça's darkest period, the core framework that symbolizes the team's tradition and stability, was ruthlessly purged. Successive coaches and club executives have more or less unbalanced mentality, so they squandered and rushed to buy a group of luxury hopeful stars, but in the end there is no successful case. This is a mistake that many giants make when they are in decline. Juventus was no exception after the phone call.
A team like Newcastle has an outdated style of play, but an outdated style of play is not necessarily useless. Since the core of the team is a high school striker and a technical winger. Then, Eddie Ron feels that he can barely get through this season and can only maintain the current personnel deployment. Buying too many stars at once affects unity. It's better to activate the potential of these people and succeed in relegation first.
Zhang Lihua listened to Eddie's analysis and was not easy to judge. Since professionals don't approve of drastic recruitment, let's start with the inside.
The first round of tacit quizzes arranged by Eddie ended, and all members of the coaching staff watched it. Tacit understanding, technique, and the team's will to fight, these three basic qualities to win, none of the members of this team can meet the standard.
Next, Eddie prepared a game for everyone to test the comprehensive quality of the players - a two-over-three shooting competition.
This test is fully participatory. The frontcourt players are divided into two groups and the defenders are three, a total of 20 players are divided into four groups.
The game is simple, with two frontcourt players working together in a fixed area to penetrate the back three and shoot the ball into the back of the net.
A group that clears the level can get a break. The defeated lineback will remain in place until an unpassing attacker appears. In short, staying in the last two sets, will double the repetition of the physical training carried out in the morning.
The rules of punishment are truly frightening. What does doubling up your workout mean? 10,000 meters of long-distance running, 800 push-ups, 100 sets of accelerated sprints. If this punishment falls on Roy Barton again, who will obey?
Having said that, the first round of competition has already begun. Lined up with Andy Carroll and Wayne Laudridge, the team was up against Colocchini, Tiott and Steve Taylor.
Andy Carroll made a piling and Laudridge broke through, and the two dodged Tiot's top tackle for the first time, penetrated the bag between Colocchini and Steve Taylor, and after passing the barrier, Carroll fired a powerful volley into the empty net. The whole process seemed to be extremely smooth, and this was the best group of all after tacit training.
The pace of Carroll and Laudridge's passes was clearly in unison. One doubled the release of body functions to make the body faster, and the other appropriately slowed down the speed of the ball, like Tai Chi four or two thousand catties, the appropriate and good distribution of the ball, the two soft and delicate collision with the wall smoothly passed the urgent defense.
Zhang Lihua even gave applause, and then Lacarol and Laudridge gave a lecture. He said: "After that, Andy pulled out and left the empty space for the winger who cut inside on the right. On the left, Wayne, you play with Andy, or with Jose Enrique, try a partial one-two to get the pace of the game in our hands. Don't be obsessed with the bottom cross, then Andy will be isolated. ”
"Understand, Mister Zhang, we're going to be in good shape for the challenge. But. Let's take a look at the collaboration between Jonas Gutierrez and Gris. Hehe. Laudridge's somewhat malicious smile revealed a hint of treachery.
Zhang Lihua turned his head to look at the cooperation of the other group. Gutierrez tried to play the ball and was cleared by Argentine countryman Coloccini, while Gris, who was on the side, looked at the sky in frustration and was silent as if he thought he was unlucky.
"What's going on? Honas, are you insulting my IQ or despise Fabi's defense? Zhang Lihua rebuked very dissatisfied.
"I just wanted to try it. Besides, Griss can't make a wall for me, and his ability to take the ball forward is not even as good as Fabi, is it appropriate for us to be together? ”
"It's not appropriate to be together...... No way! No one is forcing you to be together forever, it's just to prepare for a game! I'm going to strengthen your sense of cooperation, you know? But I know what you mean, you're saying you don't like to cooperate, you like to go it alone, ignore Gris's existence, right? But you don't have the speed and skill of Leo Messi. Just in this year's World Cup, Messi was not enough to win the game and was defeated by the Germans. What's more, you? ”
"I've been playing like this for many years in your team. In the past, all coaches only asked me to be precise in my crosses. No one is going to force me to play with the midfield. What's more, Gries, Barton and others can only get stuck in a position to grab the ball, counting on them to play skills? If I could, I'd work with Xavi and Andres Iniesta or Alonso and Pirlo. You can take my advice and buy some useful midfielders. So be it. I wouldn't agree to any more physical training. Because I'm tired. The patience of the Argentines is limited. Gutierrez said with obvious provocation.
Zhang Lihua was naturally dumbfounded at the first time. Dare to challenge his authority, Gutierrez is tired of living?
However, with Zhang Lihua's experience, he knows that things should not be made big. Jonas Gutierrez is no more important than Joey Barton. The latter is in a state and can't kick anywhere. But Gutierrez managed to score three goals and provide seven assists in the first half of the season. This guy not only relies on the old and sells the old, but also has a bit of a proud mentality.
"Good. I'll give you another chance, and I'll compete with you alone. As for me, I'll compete with you in footwork. If I can do it and you can't, then you can obediently give me the joint physical energy. Do you dare to take on the challenge? Zhang Lihua said very calmly.
"Mister Zhang. Are you going to compete with me in footwork? Than what? Free kick, or cross? Or is it dribbling? You used to play in the midfield position as well? Gutierrez spoke five questions in a row, all with sarcasm and contempt, and spoke in a particularly ugly way.
Many of the players wanted to see a good show, and they all gathered around, just waiting for a clash to break out between the manager and the thorn. Only Gris looked at Shaoshuai Zhang's martial and majestic face with adoring eyes.
Zhang Lihua's serious expression could not be slowed down for a moment, he snorted, and then said without thinking: "I, everything is better than you." Here, in Rigberton, no one will be allowed to challenge my authority. If you lose, I want you to take your responsibility like a man. In my team, no one gets special treatment. Honas, you remember it for me! ”
"Oh? Just do as you say. I'll compete with you. Hehe. Try everything that can be compared. How about a free kick first? ”
"Free kicks, a wall of eight people, and then Forster Jr. I'll do it first, if you can't score the ball, you don't have to try, even if you win. What do you think? Zhang Lihua frowned and said in a very calm tone.
As soon as these words came out, many players who were curious about the young marshal were applauding the young marshal. They coaxed Gutierrez and praised the coach for his courage and domineering. Only Gutierrez and the coaching staff's fat Mo were full of incomprehension and doubts about Zhang Lihua's strength.
"Does he really have such good footwork? No matter how I look at him, he just looks like an SB who is keen on grooming and dressing up. Compare footwork with me, and brag about such a big bull, what is the origin of this guy? Gutierrez muttered with his head down, subconsciously avoiding everyone's gaze. When he looked up at Zhang Lihua's eyes again, he suddenly felt his heart tremble. The condensed light of those eyes was as sharp as a knife.
Fei Mo also felt the usual violent attribute in Zhang Lihua's eyes. The impression of Lihua Zhang has never shown any footwork in front of others. He rarely plays. Talking to customers about business is usually on a golf course, a bowling alley or a luxurious billiard hall. After all, soccer is not the most popular sport in Americans. Zhang Lihua almost never goes to the football stadium in New York to watch a game. So how could he have peerless footwork? Is he really the kind of folk master who hides deeply? A Chinese, football ...... Oh!
A Chinese, an amateur player who has hardly experienced a sports career, dares to compete with Argentines in footwork. It's unbelievable!
Joey Barton waited to see Zhang Lihua make a fool of himself, and his tired face suddenly brightened up.
Ben Alpha, who was wearing protective boots and could only do weight exercises, was also covering his mouth and snickering. Obviously, Ben Alpha's YY ability is super strong, and he doesn't even need to confirm Zhang Lihua's strength, so he subjectively regards it as a joke, and steals joy for some reason.
