November 2, 1993 is a day worth remembering forever for Chen Fei in this life. Because it was on this day that Chen Fei officially signed www.biquge.info his first job contract as the head coach of a professional club, and this contract is actually a Serie A team!

You must know that Serie A in that era was known as the "Little World Cup", which had a high reputation in Europe and even the world, and even in China on the other side of the ocean, the Italian Football League was also one of the earliest foreign sports events introduced by China. The "Iron Triangle" Zhang Huide, Zhang Lu, and Song Shixiong, as the originators of the football commentary industry, are still regarded as idols by many descendants in the commentary industry. Therefore, any upheaval in this event will cause the famous "domino" effect, which will affect the whole body.

On this day, the major media in Milan, Rome, Turin and other places received a fax from the Atalanta club, the content is very simple: after the club's management unanimously studied and decided after consultation with the parties, Mr. Francisco Guidolin will no longer serve as the head coach of Atalanta Bergamo Football Club with immediate effect, and the new head coach will be announced at a press conference at 16:00 tomorrow. Address: Press conference hall of Atletico Blue stadium in Bergamo.

The contents of the fax were quickly released through the pervasive media, and all of Italy knew that Atalanta were going to change the manager of the team with a poor record. It's just that before the announcement of the candidate, everyone is speculating about the possibility of this successor.

"Could it be the same Pole that Barry fired before? I think it's very likely, what do you think? "One of the fans predicting the choice is Boniek, the famous player of Polish football and the current president of the Polish Football Federation.

"Probably not, right? That Pole coaches so badly in the amateur league, how could Atalanta take a fancy to him? Could it be Chievo's Malaisani? ”

"It's unlikely, isn't it? He's just been promoted from assistant coaching, so he shouldn't be. If we have such poor grades, could it be that Czech madman from Foggia? "Zeman was still the head coach of Foggia at the time. In defensively-oriented Italy, Zeman boldly adopted a more aggressive strategy such as 4-3-3, which was called a madman by many fans.

"Hey, it doesn't matter who he is, it's almost like this now!" An old man said a little pessimistically. "That's it!" On the contrary, this pessimistic argument has been echoed by many people. Of course, the suspense continues, just waiting for 24 hours to be revealed. It's just that no one expected that the press conference 24 hours later actually caused an "earthquake" in the entire Eurasian continent.

The next morning, Chen Fei got up early in the morning, changed into his tunic suit, and drove to Bergamo, of course, his main task in the morning was to go to the club's office building, and first have a small meeting with the management to confirm the general process of the press conference; Then Laura and Gentille led Chen Fei to a meeting with the rest of the first team coaches for a brief briefing.

When Guidolin left, he took with him several important assistants: goalkeeper coach Marikia, assistant coach Mandalino, and masseur Körner, so these positions are currently vacant and need to be replenished; Of course, in order to maintain the normal operation of the youth team, Prandelli's side can't be too the staff, so external recruitment has become a major need at present, and Chen Fei is also searching for suitable candidates in his heart. After all, those famous coaches such as Mulenstin, Tasottti, and Gabriel Ping in later generations were still athletes at this time, and it was obviously impossible for them to coach at this time. Of course, it is only right to stabilize the existing staff so that they can cooperate with their work, so this staff meeting is still necessary.

Chen Fei obviously got straight to the point and briefly introduced himself: "Chen Fei, graduated from the Lombard Sports Institute with a major in sports management, has a UEFA A-level coaching qualification certificate, and is a former assistant coach of the youth team. It's great to be part of the first team. ”

Chen Fei's arrival first set off some small waves within the first-team staff. The news between the first team and the youth team is still relatively interconnected, so everyone basically has a general understanding of Chen Fei. Some staff members were quite skeptical of the 4-3-3 tactical system led by Chen Fei when he was in the youth team, believing that the aggressive style of play of 4-3-3 was a great damage to the defense. So the defensive coach Adrio was the first to speak: "Chen, I've heard of you, Cesar's assistant, Cesar has a high opinion of you!" But you have to know that this is Italy and defense is the bone of our football philosophy. The children of the youth team are more energetic and not calm enough; But the senior players are all experienced. You're so bold to do that, and you've played a lot of high-scoring games, oh my god, it's a heart attack! ”

"Yes, yes!" Adrio's views were shared by many members of the coaching staff. Chen Fei had expected this, but as the new helmsman of the big ship in the future, he had to convince the rest of the coaching staff to recognize his work philosophy and fully implement his plans and intentions, so as to ensure a harmonious atmosphere between the whole team. You must know that the coach's infighting also has a direct impact on the players, and an uncoordinated team working atmosphere can be devastating to the success of the team. Therefore, in order to organize his language and convince the other members of the coaching staff as soon as possible, Chen Fei thought for a while before he replied:

"If you all think that those high-scoring games tend to stir up emotional turmoil, do the fans feel the same way? What do fans pay for tickets? Isn't it just to release the depression at work through football? So by strengthening the attack, scoring more goals, creating tension, speeding up the adrenaline secretion of the fans in the game, and provoking their mood swings, it is obviously easier to make people's blood rush than the kind of game where both sides only know how to hold on, and pass around but do not see how much threat the attack has. Actually, as a coach, including all of our players, you must have enjoyed the feeling of being cheered on by the crowd after scoring a goal, right? Are you willing to let the fans cheer for you a few more times a game? I believe you have the answer in your heart. “

The rest of the coaching staff already had thoughtful expressions on their faces when they heard this. However, some people still reacted: "This is a good statement, but if we ignore the defense because we want to pursue goals, and others do a good job of defense, and we don't score goals but concede the goal first, isn't it that we are under more pressure?" When the score pressure forces us to attack, and we can't defend ourselves, won't we lose more and more? Wouldn't the confidence of the players and fans be hit harder by then? “

"Don't worry, defense is an art, and I believe only the Italians in the world can make it an art. But in fact, I don't think it's a complete contradiction between pursuing offense and ensuring defense, and we can find a way to find a balance between the two, and that path is to press high. ”

"High pressing??" The eyes of the members of the coaching staff were about to pop out. "But Chen, we probably know what you mean by high pressing, if you understand correctly, it should mean starting from the opponent's half, and even letting the strikers grab the ball on the spot, right? But in this case, isn't it that the player has to run a lot more distance on the field? How can we guarantee our physical strength? Strength and conditioning coach Pitch voiced his concerns.

"It seems that you are really the most expert in the football circle, you can understand it at all, and it is very pleasant to communicate with you." Chen Fei continued, "Physical fitness is indeed a very important part of this tactic, in addition to relying on a lot of training, in fact, there is a very important factor, that is, the tactical system that matches it. The boys in the youth team are just when they have momentum, and the fact that 4-3-3 has already been used by that Czech madman is not too new. But in my opinion, it's not the 4-3-3 stance that can really support such a high pressing tactic, but this. Chen Fei said as he drew the most popular position on a whiteboard behind him: 4-2-3-1.

"It is undeniable that the proudest asset of our Italian football is the chain defense, and I don't want to give up on this, because it has proven to be a very efficient way to defend, and even the strikers, in Italy, require some defensive skills, no one can be free from the defensive system, which I very much agree with. However, "

Chen Fei began to write and draw on the whiteboard, moving his mouth while moving his pen: "You can come to see my position, this position system is to increase the control of the midfield, and turn the original chain of parallel midfield into two, one main pressing, one main protection." Once the ball is lost in the front court, then the player closest to the opponent's ball carrier will go up and be responsible for pressing, while the others,"

Chen Fei adjusted the position of the others: "What is needed is to shrink horizontally, frame the perimeter of the ball carrier as much as possible, reduce the possibility of him making the ball, increase the probability of the opponent's mistakes, and if the opponent chooses to make a long pass, then we will become like this at this time, especially in the midfield zone," Chen Fei continued to write and draw, and then drew a box around the ball carrier through standing and running.

"Our aim is to try to be in a box like this every time they have the ball. This will put a lot of pressure on the opponent to hold the ball, especially in the midfield. Once there is a disconnect between the front and back, the two men in front of the opponent will face the situation of not being able to get the ball, and we can also eliminate the opponent's defensive pressure invisibly. In fact, we don't need to sprint too much, and we don't have to sprint at high speed every time to counterattack. Everyone knows that high-speed sprinting is the most physical exertion, so I do this to reduce the frequency of high-speed sprinting of my players through the control of the midfield, so as to protect the physical fitness and health of the players to a certain extent. “

Although Chen Fei's explanation just now is a basic principle that a coach of an amateur club can do, it is tantamount to brainwashing for Italian coaches more than 20 years ago. However, the Italian coach is by no means unable to innovate tactics, just like the chain defense mentioned by Chen Fei just now, it is really the first of its kind by the Italians, and it was proved by AC Milan in the 1993-1994 season and Juventus in the 1994-1995 season through two Champions League titles. Even after the new millennium, Italy has also had tactical innovations, including Ancelotti's "Christmas tree" formation, the improvement and development of the 3-5-2 formation, and other tactical innovations, which have made indelible contributions to the progress of world football theory and practice. At every major tournament in the world, the Italians have been able to counter-attack and team awareness with their excellent counter-attacks and team mentality, and the world has seen the consequences of underestimating them seriously.

In the end, Chen Fei did not forget to stimulate the adrenaline secretion of the "old pedants" of the coaching staff: "You must know that our record is already so poor, there is a saying in our China called 'barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes', which means that those who have no worries are happier than those who have concerns." We're like this now, so what's the difference? It's better to be bold, fight, we don't regret it, we have worked hard. But I believe we have the ability to do it because this is Italy, a place where football is developed at a very high level. If none of us Italians can do it, then no one in the world can, believe me. ”

After being stunned for a long time, someone actually applauded Chen Fei, it was none other than Adrio. It seems that he has been completely conquered by Chen Fei's new ideas: "Cesar is a very good friend of mine, and he actually told me that he was willing to stay in the youth team and give you a place in the first team, which originally made me very incomprehensible. He said you were bold and had a very new idea, and now it seems that he was not wrong. We're also older, and we don't have as much momentum as you. You're right, we Italians can't do it, the whole world can't do it. Old guys, we old bones, let's go crazy with this little 'barefoot'! ”

Adrio is a veteran of the team, a veteran Atalanta fan, player, and coach. When he was a player, he only played for Atalanta, and after retiring from football, he did not hesitate to stay with the team as an assistant coach. Even if Guidolin brought his cronies and threw him into the position of defensive coach, he still had no complaints, and he was willing to give everything here for the sake of Atalanta, so his words carried a lot of weight in the coaching staff. Adrio's statement also resonated with other members of the coaching staff.

Of course, there is actually another person whose face still flashes a trace of worry, and this person is the physical trainer Pitch. As a physical fitness coach, he knows very well what Chen Fei's tactics mean to the physical requirements of the players, although Chen Fei's idea just now can reduce the physical consumption to a certain extent, but it is still longer than the current tactical system, and the running requirements are higher. Pidge's worries didn't escape Chen Fei's eyes, and he decided to find a time to talk to him alone. Physical reserves are an important part of modern football, and Chen Fei can also see that Pidge has no prejudices about himself, but is just worried about the facts. He believes that as long as he comes up with a more detailed plan, Pitch should not embarrass himself.

But now, in order to cope with the press conference in the afternoon, Chen Fei has not had time to talk to Piqi in detail for the time being, and Chen Fei still has a bold plan in his heart, and he needs Piqi's support and cooperation. After the rest of the coaching staff had no new problems, and Chen Fei felt that they were starting to think about their new tactical concepts, Chen Fei announced the dismissal of the meeting. The coaching staff meeting only caused some shock from insiders, but the press conference that followed was almost out of control。。。。。。
