Chapter 3 The Beginning of a Coaching Career The first training session

The next day, the excited Chen Fei only slept for 6 hours before getting up, put on the tunic he wore during the graduation defense (that was his most formal clothes at present), brought the business card he got last night and his coaching qualification certificate, had a simple breakfast, and called Gabriel to explain the situation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info At this point it's time for Gabriel's jaw to fall to the ground: "What? Perkasi?! Damn, you kid is going to be developed! Are you going to Bergamo? ”

"yes, you're going with me?"

"I'm not free, you have a driver's license anyway, I'll borrow your car, you can go by yourself!"

"Thanks buddy, that's interesting!"

"Okay, okay, don't forget me, you kid!"

In this way, Chen Fei drove the borrowed blue Fiat to the seat of the Atlanta club, another relatively large city in Lombardy: Bergamo.

When he arrived at the gate of the Atlanta club, the security guard stopped him: "What are you doing, Chinese monkey?" There are no bananas here! Chen Fei held back his anger and said politely: "I'm sorry to disturb, I'm here to find Mr. Perkasi." The security guard glanced at Chen Fei sideways and said unceremoniously: "Looking for our chairman?" Your name is also your name for our President? He's not here, don't go in! ”

Just when Chen Fei was at a loss, the girl who appeared in the bar yesterday ran over in time: "Rolando (pointing at the nose of the security guard Rolando) You bastard!" How about our family's great benefactor? I'm going to tell my uncle, you won't come to work tomorrow! Rolando looked up and immediately said, "Oh, little princess, can't I be wrong!" The girl pouted: "Don't let us in yet!" After saying that, he actually opened the door of the co-pilot of the Fiat and sat in.

This sudden scene made Chen Fei unprepared, but out of politeness, Chen Fei still greeted the girl very warmly: "Hello, meet again!" "yes, meet again, I really didn't expect you to come! Oh yes, my name is Laura, and yesterday you met my uncle, who is the president of this club! Let's go, that building is, the car will be parked downstairs! ”

Laura took Chen Fei upstairs together, and when she arrived at the door of the chairman's office, Laura shouted: "Uncle, look who I brought!" Also, the Rolando at the door actually said that he was a Chinese monkey, which was too much! Old Percassie spoke: "Okay Laura, you go out first, oh yes, call Cesar to me." "You're going to send him to Cesar?" Why don't you just give it to the bald donkey。。。。。。 "It's none of your business, get me out!" "Oh!"

After Laura went out, Perkasi said to Chen Fei: "Mr. Chen, thank you again for saving Laura in the bar, we met during the interview, and I liked your proposal to strengthen the discipline of player management at that time, and I am looking forward to your achievements in Atlanta!" After speaking, he stretched out his right hand and gave it to Chen Fei. Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, and also stretched out his right hand to shake it with Perkasi, and replied very politely: "Mr. President, thank you for your trust, I just don't know if I can do the job in Atlanta." ”

"I said that we welcome you to work, and I will not break my word, and I believe in the training system of the Lombard Sports Academy. It's just that there is no shortage of coaching staff in the first team for the time being, and Guidolin has brought his entire coaching team, so I want to send you to Cesar in the youth team, and you can lead the team with him first! ”

"That's great, Mr. President, I'm grateful for such an opportunity!"

At this time, Laura came with a man with a bit of "Mediterranean" hair. When Perkasi saw him, he immediately greeted him: "Cesar, I found a new assistant for you, it's him, Chen Fei, say hello!" Although Chen Fei had experienced too many surprises before, this time, his eyes were about to pop out. Because the Cesar in Perkasi's mouth is none other than the then head coach of the Atalanta youth team and later the head coach of the Italian national team. Cesare Prandelli!

Chen Fei immediately stretched out his hand and said to Prandley: "Hello, my name is Chen Fei, I am your new assistant, happy cooperation!" Prandelli also politely replied, "Cesar? Prandley, Head Coach of the Youth Team, is a pleasure to work with! In this way, Chen Fei officially began his coaching career. Although he got the opportunity to enter the football circle in Italy with an adventure, if he wants to really make a name for himself in this circle, Chen Fei knows that this is absolutely inseparable from his own efforts. However, what Chen Fei didn't expect was that the real difficulties were still to come。。。。。。

Leaving Perkassi's office that day, Chen Fei asked Prandley for a list of youth teams. Chen Fei, who has always known that Atlanta's youth training has a deep background, was not only surprised when he got this list, but also regretted. Because most of them will be famous in the future, but in the future, their glory will no longer belong to the son of the sea god (Atlanta's nickname). In this list, there are several names that still attract Chen Fei's special attention:

Alessio? Alessio Tacchinardi, the future Italian top midfielder, who has already made his mark in the youth team in the first two seasons, is currently the middle barrier of the youth team. Of course, Tacinati's real peak will be with the Bianconeri. However, Chen Fei, who is well aware of the role of Tacinati, will definitely not watch the Zebras poach him, and he will do his best to keep the future midfield core.

Domenico? Domenico Morfeo, the future of Parma's leading midfielder, is one of the best metronomes in midfield, and his left-footed curling free-kick technique can be described as superb. Now at the age of 17, he has already drawn a chord with first-team manager Francisco? Francesco Guidolin's attention, there is a good chance that he will be transferred to the first team at any time. And Mofeo's tandem in midfield, long passes, including set-pieces, will be an important factor for Atalanta in the coming years.

Marco? Marco Zanchi, who is only 178 tall, has an excellent sense of position and impact, and the quality of his crosses is also quite high, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time, and there are too many excellent defenders in Italy, so that he unfortunately failed to be selected for the national team in the end. But there's no denying that Zanci's presence is a valuable asset to the team.

Fausto? Fausto Rossini, the number one senior striker in the youth team, is 186 tall and weighs 81kg, and he will be a great intimidation for the opposition defence in the penalty area. Of course, Italy had a large number of top high school strikers in that era, and coupled with the invasion of injuries, Rossini's career was not very smooth. Compared to the prolific goalscorers like Vieri and Lucarelli, Rossini's future career is a bit bleak, but in the youth team, he is still very useful.

Other notable ones in this list include the Zenoni brothers, Mutarelli, Pinardi and so on, so I won't talk about them all here. In short, what Chen Fei sees is a future luxury team.

On the first day of intensive training for the youth team, Chen Fei and Prandelli arrived at the training ground on time. After everyone assembled, Prandley said to all the players: "Everyone should have noticed, from today onwards, there is a Chinese face on our training ground, his name is Chen Fei, and he is your new assistant coach. ”

Chen Fei took Prandley's words: "Thank you, Mr. Prandley. Hello everyone, my name is Chen Fei, you can call me Chen, no problem, I am from far away China, I hope to be able to get along with you in the future! ”

Chen Fei's bland self-introduction caused different reactions from the players: some were disdainful, some were contemplative, but more opened their mouths into an O-shape. But everyone's reaction unanimously pointed to a question: why would there be a Chinese to be our coach? Can he do it? Chen Fei has been a teacher for many years in his previous life, and his reaction to the following is naturally clear at a glance. He continued: "I know that you have doubts about my nationality and think that a Chinese is qualified to stand here and be the coach of an Italian team, right? If I am not convinced that I graduated from the Lombardy Sports Institute and has a European A-level coaching certificate, then I will show you the following! ”

Chen Fei casually picked up a football from the sidelines and came to the field. "Chen, what are you going to do?" Prandley asked in surprise. Chen Fei said: "I want to show them, don't let them underestimate me!" ”

In fact, Chen Fei before the crossing would imitate those fancy passing videos on the Internet when he was fine, what Ronaldinho's "ox tail", Zidane's "Marseille maneuver", Denilson's "cycling" passing, and even Li Yi's signature so-called "Bengbu roundabout" have all been learned by him. Chen Fei is ready to use these fancy actions to please the eyes of the young men of the youth team, you must know that the adolescent boys are full of enthusiasm and have a strong admiration for those intuitive so-called masters. Chen Fei, who was a people's teacher before the crossing, naturally took advantage of the psychological characteristics of adolescent children and was ready to give them a dismissal.

"Well, I'll find a few defenders to play with me one-on-one, and I'll try to get past you to see if it's okay. You must know that the skills of passing people on the football field are still very important, and the quality of passing has a direct impact on offensive efficiency. I'm sure everyone here will have no objection to this! Everyone nodded, and Chen Fei continued: "Then since that's the case, let's try it." Alessio, come out and defend me! "Me?" Tacinati, who was named, was stunned, on the one hand, he didn't know why Chen Fei knew his name, and on the other hand, he didn't know why Chen Fei knew that he would defend. Of course, if Chen Fei from later generations didn't even know a master figure like Tachinaati, this crossing would be meaningless. Tacinati looked at Chen Fei, then turned his head to look at the head coach Prandelli on the sidelines, Prandelli also nodded at Tachinatti, and Tacinati cheered up and ran to the opposite side of Chen Fei: "Come on coach, get over me!" ”

Chen Fei took the ball and slowly approached Tacinati. In the face of this super iron gate on the future Italian central defense, Chen Fei, who knows that Tacinati is comprehensive, will definitely not fight Tacinati hard. In fact, when Chen Fei pointed out Tacchinaati's name just now, he was still a little stunned in his heart, and he didn't know if his extraordinary skills could deceive this future midfield master. At this time, Chen Fei's mind suddenly remembered the signature move of Qizu in the later generations, "Marseille Roundabout", so Tacinati saw that Chen Fei in front of him suddenly changed from facing himself to turning his back to himself, and then controlling the ball with the soles of his feet, and then becoming facing himself again, and the next second, Chen Fei had already taken it from Tacinati's side! It turned out that Chen Fei saw Tacinati in front of him approaching the ball from his right hand, and wanted to poke the ball away with his right foot, so Chen Fei took advantage of the situation to do a Marseille maneuver in the direction of Tachinatti's left foot, and forcibly brought the ball in the opposite direction of Tachinati's run!

The players who witnessed this scene couldn't believe their eyes anyway, did they? Alessio's kid is one of the best defenders on our team, and that's how he was gone?? What is the origin of that Chinese, the level is not bad... But there were still some people who were not convinced, and at this time, another thorn stood up, Chen Fei looked at it and recognized him: "Marco (Marco Zanqi), are you not convinced?" Let's try it? Zanchi is also very skeptical about why Chen Fei actually knows him, you must know that he is not the international level defender in later generations at this time, and is even often used by Prandley as a guest as a full-back or midfielder. Zanqi still habitually said: "Come on Coach!" "This time Zanchi learned the lesson of Tacinati's experience, and he believes that Tacinati's defeat was due to the reason for the grabs from the side, so he did not come from the side, but completely from the front.

Chen Fei discovered Zanqi's whereabouts, so he began to play with the best cycling of Brazilian players, Zanqi's eyes have been staring at the trajectory of the ball, but the ball under Chen Fei's feet is sometimes in front of the left foot, sometimes in front of the right foot, Zanqi was dizzy by this change, at this time, Chen Fei started, in the direction of Zanqi's right foot! Zanqi discovered Chen Fei's whereabouts, but at the moment when Zanqi's foot was about to touch the ball, Chen Fei suddenly flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot, turned 360Β°, and walked past Zanqi's left side!

Silence, silence, silence ... After I don't know how long I was silent, I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and then there was thunderous applause. After many years, Chen Fei knew that the one who took the lead in applauding back then was actually the first Tachina Nati to be passed by himself. Many years later, when Tacinati became Italy's top midfielder, he still did not forget Chen Fei, he told reporters: "That's right, Chen passed me back then, and it was he who taught me a lot of defensive skills." So, what did Chen Fei say to Tachinati?

After the applause subsided, Chen Fei and Prandley led the team for training. The content of the training is relatively unremarkable, and the warm-up is followed by a half-court offensive and defensive practice, a free-kick shooting practice, a passing accuracy training and a confrontation game. It is worth mentioning that in this confrontation, Mofeo scored two direct free kicks alone. All this was naturally seen by Chen Fei. After the training, Chen Fei called Tacinati to his side: "Alessio, I have something to tell you." ”

"What's the matter, Coach?"

'You're going to be one of the best midfielders in Italy, trust me.'

"Me? But I was treated like a fool by you, why do you say that? ”

"Actually, the most important thing in individual defense is not speed, not body, but here" Chen Fei pointed to his head, and then said: "In fact, the core of defense is prediction. There is a classic old saying in China, which means that if you understand yourself and your opponent, you will not be in danger when you fight. So I hope you can strengthen your anticipation ability when defending, don't be confused by the opponent's fancy moves, and find the true intention behind the opponent's fancy moves, just like a bunch of knotted ropes, you have to find a place to be tied, and it's easy to do if you find it, right? Tacinati nodded thoughtfully: "Got it, coach, thank you"

Many years later, in broken Chinese, Tacinati uttered those eight words in front of Italian reporters: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." ”

After the training session that day, Chen Fei returned home and was about to open the door when he saw Gabriel standing outside the door. Chen Fei hurriedly welcomed Gabriel in. After knowing that Chen Fei went to the Atlanta youth team, Gabriel spoke:

"Chen, good boy, there you have it! It must be very inconvenient to contact you in the future, I brought my dad's old mobile phone and gave it to you, and Fiat also borrowed it for you to use first, don't give it to me, my dad bought me a new Renault, if you need anything in the future, just tell your buddy! Gabriel's righteousness moved Chen Fei so much that he even shed tears. Gabriel hurriedly helped him dry up: "Okay, Coach Chen, what do you look like, you must know that you are now the coach of the championship team." ”

"Champion?"

"Yes, I don't know, this Atlanta youth team was the champion of the youth primavera league last season, oh, you have a heavy load! You can call me at any time, anyway, my family is still quite rich, and if you have difficulties in the future, just say it! "Good buddy, I won't forget you either!" The two of them were relatively speechless, for a long, long time。。。。。

After sending Gabriel away, it was already the third watch, and Chen Fei, who had tossed around all day during the day, fell asleep, which was the most solid sleep he had since he crossed back to Italy。。。。。。
