The dense schedule of Christmas and New Year did cause a lot of trouble to Chu Zhongtian. The team's results have also become inconsistent again during this period www.biquge.info with a 4-0 win at home to mid-table Derby County or a 3-0 defeat at home to fourth-bottom Millwall.

The media also made Chu Zhongtian very uncomfortable - when his team swept Derby County 4-0 at home, the media chanted that Chu Zhongtian's team was on the right path, and those who were not optimistic about Chu Zhongtian remained silent in embarrassment. But soon Wimbledon Athletic lost away to Millwall, and the media who were not optimistic about Chu Zhongtian were happy this time, and the media who were still cheering Chu Zhongtian's team on the right track did not know what to say.

Chu Zhongtian knew that this was because the schedule was too intensive, after all, he still lacked coaching experience, maybe he could perform well in one or two games, but when encountering such a dense schedule, his lack of experience was reflected and became particularly prominent.

Of course, this experience is not useless for him, he lacks experience, so this experience is an accumulation of experience.

After this hectic Christmas schedule, he learned a lot from the actual race and Stonefield that will help him cope with similar situations in the future.

The injury situation is Chu Zhongtian's biggest concern, although he carefully uses the rotation, even if it is at the expense of results, there are still two main players injured in the game, one is the central defender Jamal. La Serres, one on the left wing-back Edu. Seychelle.

The two players, who were the team's main players in the first half of the season, are now diagnosed for one month and the other for two months.

This is definitely not good news for the team.

The media, who are not optimistic about Chu Zhongtian's coaching, also used this incident as their reason. The two main forces were injured, and it was even more difficult for Chu Zhongtian's team to upgrade. Although injuries are a problem that any team will encounter, in their mouths, it seems that it is because of Chu Zhongtian's improper command and lack of experience that these two people were injured.

Chu Zhongtian did not respond to such criticism. He was thinking about how he could make up for the void left by the absence of these two.

It has been said before that the quality of Wimbledon's main force and the substitutes is very different, so the absence of these two will definitely have an impact on the strength of the team.

How to minimize this impact is what coach Chu Zhongtian should do.

He has taken over the full responsibility of the head coach from Stonefield and is starting to coach the team like a real manager. Every Monday he would have a meeting with the whole coaching staff to take stock of the previous week's team situation, such as the effectiveness of the training, the injuries and fitness of the players, and then look at what the goals and training plans are for this week, and they have to arrange some different training plans for different opponents. For example, if they are against a team that is good at defending and counter-attacking, then this week's tactical training will focus on how to break down dense defenses.

After formulating the training plan, it is to implement the training plan, but this part of the work is mainly the responsibility of assistant coach Stonefield and other members of the coaching staff, after all, Chu Zhongtian is a player and has to participate in training. There's no way he's going to have a whistle in his mouth and stop training at any time while participating in training, right?

After training, when he returned home, Chu Zhongtian's time was basically spent studying the game video. If he wants to find a way to crack the opponent, of course, he has to study the opponent's game video. The so-called "knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles".

Fortunately, studying the game video is familiar to Chu Zhongtian, and he likes to study the opponent's game video when he was in Hoffenheim. In the club, there is usually a person who is responsible for studying the opponent's game video, and then recording what he observes and analyzing, and gives it to the manager for the manager's reference. This was their job, but at that time, Chu Zhongtian purely regarded studying the video of the competition as his hobby. At that time, although he and Emily were in a relationship, they had been separated for a long time, and he didn't like to go to Miss. As an otaku, in addition to playing games online, the way of entertainment is to watch game videos.

He saw a lot and learned a lot from these game videos.

Because of the foundation laid by his previous experience, Chu Zhongtian is now very handy in studying the video of the game.

Due to the loss of two players, Chu Zhongtian decided to look for a suitable replacement in the transfer market, although it is said that the two injured players have not been out for a long time. However, the team's bench depth is seriously insufficient, so sooner or later it will be necessary to bring in players to strengthen their strength, so it is better to take advantage of this opportunity.

After some selection, the team finally poached a central defender from Coventry. Adams, who was captain of Coventry's youth team and has had a good first-team appearance, spent £1 million to bring him to Wimbledon.

Replace the injured Edu. Seychelle's player is Robin, a midfielder from Cologne. Herming, who spent the club £700,000.

The introduction of these two players can be regarded as filling the shortcomings of the team's strength.

There is no winter break in the English league, and although this issue has been debated for more than two decades, it has not been able to shake the "tradition" that England is proud of. There is still no winter break in English football, with the most intense fixtures scheduled during the Christmas and New Year holidays...... January passed quickly, and Chu Zhongtian was getting familiar with how to be a qualified head coach and at the same time planning a blueprint for the team's future in the transfer market.

His team's performance in the month was only halfway, with wins and losses and draws.

It's a normal performance that any team should have, it's not good, but it's definitely not bad either.

During this period, Russell made a phone call to express his encouragement and support for Chu Zhongtian's achievements in coaching the team, and he also followed Wimbledon Athletic's games in the United States, thanks to the developed network, so that he could even watch the games through the webcast. He taught Chu Zhongtian his experience as a person who had come over, reminding Chu Zhongtian of what he should pay attention to and improve.

Chu Zhongtian accepted it all humbly, although Russell was only one year older than him, but he had a lot more experience than Chu Zhongtian in terms of coaching.

Chu Zhongtian inquired about the situation at Russell's house, and Russell's voice immediately deepened.

His father is still in a coma and is in the intensive care unit of the hospital, where he and his mother take turns accompanying him. Fortunately, his contract with the club is still valid, and the club also pays him a weekly salary, otherwise the family's source of livelihood may be in question.

Chu Zhongtian let him take care of his family over there with peace of mind, and the team's affairs were enough for him and Stonefield.

Russell worries about not knowing if the team will be able to come back in time for the most critical time for promotion. He still wants to go through the promotion with the team, after all, it is the dream of all first-generation Wimbledons. What have they been fighting for so many years? Isn't it just for this moment?

I have worked hard for so long, but in the end I can't be with the team, it's like running to the finish line and suddenly leaving, how can people be willing?

Chu Zhongtian could only comfort him that everything would be fine, his father would definitely wake up as soon as possible, and he would be able to attend the celebration of the team's promotion in time.

Whether this is really the case, Chu Zhongtian has no bottom in his heart, and he also knows that Russell knows that these are words to comfort him, which does not necessarily mean that it will really be like this.

"Let's talk about the team, Chu ...... January has passed, but I think the test is really coming and the rest of the race is not going to be much easier. The experience of the last two seasons has taught me that the Championship has only really come to a fever pitch since February, the competition will be more intense, and the physical exertion of your team will be greater, and injuries will start to appear more frequently, so don't think that you can breathe a sigh of relief if you have injured two people before, there will be more to come. There are 46 rounds in the Championship, but all of them have to be played in the play-offs at the beginning of May, and there will be a lot of double-game games in a week. You are right to give up the FA Cup, otherwise it will be worse. ”

Russell calmed down and began to calmly analyze the situation for Chu Zhongtian.

'Sometimes you have to rotate and it's hard to play with just one lineup. I was like it before, I only relied on the main squad, but in the final stage, the players couldn't keep up with the physical strength, and there were a lot of injuries, and I couldn't even make up a squad of 16 people......

"But Alai, if we rotate, we can't keep up with the strength of our bench lineup, and we will lose more games......" Chu Zhongtian disagreed with the rotation. I've researched that if the team gets a pre-league promotion straight away, of course it would be the best, but it is the most difficult, and with the current strength of our team, it is unlikely to happen. I think it's most realistic to move up to the play-offs, so that the points requirements are not too strict, we just need to be able to stay in the top six consistently. ”

"How are you going to stay in the top six, Chu?"

"Taking advantage of the fact that the team's physical strength is still sufficient and the injuries are still few, I am trying to score points. The team played well against strong teams, but it was a bit inconsistent against weak teams, and if we solve this problem, I think the team will have a lot more points than in the first half of the season, which will help a lot to maintain the top six. ”

It's a bold plan and it's risky, because it's not something you can get if you want to, there's a lot of uncertainty in football, and even if you play well, you won't necessarily win.

Russell felt that Chu Zhongtian's thoughts were a bit wishful thinking.

"These are not matches that you can win if you want to, Chu. What if the plan is not successful? ”

"Of course, I can't have known that the plan will be successful before it has been implemented. But we have to have a plan for that goal because it's not only our goal, it's also motivating the whole team. If you aim low, how can the players still fight for it, Alay? If you can win a game, you will never accept a draw, and if you can win two goals, you will never win a goal, only then will the players give their best in every game and we can achieve the goal of scoring. ”

Chu Zhongtian explained his thoughts to Russell.

After listening to this, Russell also felt that what Chu Zhongtian said made sense.

"You're the head coach now, you have the final say, Chu."

※※※ Within the team, Chu Zhongtian also informed everyone of his scoring plan, first of all, the coaching staff, after discussion, he received the support of all coaches, and they will support his plan from many aspects such as training plan, injury recovery, and physical reserves. Then Chu Zhongtian told all the players about his plan.

“…… Now here's the situation, guys. Half a season later, we are 10th in the league and it is impossible to promote this result. So in the second half of the season we have to work harder and we have to move up to at least sixth in the league so that we can hope to be promoted. But I also know that the Championship is a very busy schedule and very demanding on fitness, and after half a season, there have been some fitness problems with the players, and injuries are threatening us. What if the situation is not in our favor? Giving up the chance to fight for an upgrade? ”

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "I believe no one will think so, what are we working so hard for this season?" Isn't it just for upgrading? Now we have to work harder than before in order to upgrade. So my plan is to grab points! ”

He then laid out his plan and outline: "The team has a relatively good physical reserve at the moment, and our injury situation is not too bad, only two players are more serious, and everything else is fine. It's already the best situation we've been in at the moment, I don't know what it's going to be like for another month, but I don't think it's going to be any better than it is now. So we have to start grabbing points from now on! ”

"In the past, we would say, 'We should win this game', 'A point in this game is a win', but from now on, we will abandon those ideas and win no matter what the game is, no matter what the opponent is, whether we should win or not! All games must be won! We're going to grab points! At this time, the competition in the league is not too fierce, and the resistance we encountered should not be as strong as in the final stage, which is a good time for us to grab points! ”

"You have to win the game if you can win it, you have to win it if you can't win it, you have to win it if you can win two goals, you can't win one goal! I know it's not easy, but it's a sprint moment, and I hope everyone will grit their teeth and hold on no matter how tired they are! After this level, it is the sea and the sky! You've been in the league for three seasons, do you still want to be a resident? ”

Jose Mourinho is a manager who is very good at motivating the all-round ability of players and fully squeezing the full value of players, and Chu Zhongtian has been somewhat influenced by him. For the sake of victory, for the sake of a goal that has already been set, he does not hesitate to squeeze everyone's energy, even if it squeezes them dry.

Of course, as a player and manager, he has to squeeze himself first.

While squeezing everyone, it is also necessary to emphasize protective measures, such as knowing that you are prone to injury when the intensity of the game is high and the pressure is high, you can't ignore it.

Chu Zhongtian demanded that the club must increase the medical force, and now the number of team doctors in the team is insufficient, and one person is busy with the work of two people, which was exposed in January.

If left unresolved, this could be the key to Wimbledon's eventual failure.

Chu Zhongtian is an idol of Wimbledon Athletic, a hero, and a director at the same time, and his request was quickly met. Wimbledon Athletic Club has successfully poached from a London hospital that specialises in the treatment of sports injuries, bringing in three physicians with extensive clinical experience to complement the team of doctors.

At the same time, he asked the physical fitness coach and the head of the medical team to closely monitor the training and physical condition of the players every day, collect the physical data of the players before and after training every day, establish a file for comparison, understand and find out the situation in the players' bodies at any time, and deal with it in a timely manner if it is a bad situation, and cannot let it go.

Secondly, the arrangement of the training plan should be more scientific, and the high intensity should not be blindly emphasized. At this time, if you train at a high intensity, not only will you not improve your physical fitness, but it will make the players spend all their remaining physical energy on the training ground, and they are prone to injury, not to mention that they perform well in training but are in a sluggish state in the game.

At the end of each day's training session, the players must also drink a special drink to replenish their energy from the perspective of the team doctor, which is specially formulated by the team doctor and nutritionist, and is absolutely doping-free.

Chu Zhongtian's seriousness in grasping every detail of the team has almost caught up with his "teacher" Mourinho. Jose Mourinho was probably the manager who had the most influence on him, so when he became a manager, he consciously or unconsciously learned from Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho is the kind of manager who has to ask about every detail of the team, and he has to make sure that every detail of the whole team is under his control, so that he can rest assured and feel safe.

Chu Zhongtian is the same, even he has to ask the dietitian in detail about mixing drinks to confirm that there is not a single bit of prohibited ingredients in it, so that he can rest assured.

Stonefield once advised him not to ask about everything so much, but Chu Zhongtian said that it was the first time he was a head coach, of course, it was better to know everything, so that he could really learn from it and accumulate experience, so that he would not be a head coach once, in fact, he didn't know anything.

Stonefield felt that what Chu Zhongtian said also made sense, and seeing his energetic appearance, he didn't say anything anymore.

This person cannot be judged by common sense.
