Yang Huan noticed that among the many sticky notes on the wall, there were four sticky notes in a row under Menotti and Bilardo.

On these four sticky notes, four letters are written crookedly.

Not English, it should be the Spanish that Bielsa commonly spokes.

"What is this?" Yang Huan asked curiously.

Bielsa stretched out his finger notes and pointed them over one by one, reading them out one by one.

But Yang Huan didn't know Spanish at all, and he didn't know anything about it.

"It's a permanent focus, it's the most important criterion for me to select players"

Focus, that's really the type of player Bielsa prefers.

In Bielsa's words, you can be rough, you can be weak, you can be in poor shape, but you can't be unfocused in games and training, and the focus here is obviously not just about concentrating on the game, but also about putting your heart and soul into the game.

As he spoke, he pointed to the second tab.

"It's fluidity, Dutch football, from Michels' all-out attack and defense to Louis van Gaal's Ajax, has a lot of emphasis on the versatility of the players, and their best mix of four-three-three and three-four-three tactics has a lot of flexibility and can be varied depending on the opponent."

"One of the key points of Sacchi's football philosophy is to occupy the space on the pitch and maintain a flat formation with two lines in front and back of no more than 25 metres, in which the players move around the four elements of space, the ball, the opponent and their teammates.

Yang Huan was dumbfounded when he heard this, what an amazing tactical concept this must be?

But if you think about it carefully, over the past few years, football tactics have been picking out the details, constantly deriving more and more positions, and constantly subdividing the roles and positions of players on the field.

On the other hand, in recent years, football tactics have also moved towards position blurring.

For example, a pseudo-striker, a wing midfielder, or a midfielder, etc., is it just a blurred position?

The position is blurred to a certain extent, isn't it just forgetting the fixed position?

Isn't it impossible for a team to be invincible when players forget about their positions and play around space, the ball, opponents and teammates, in a way that is flexible and can vary depending on the opponent's tactics?

Bielsa didn't care about the shock in Yang Huan's heart, but pointed to the third note.

"It's a rotation"

After a pause, he continued: "A lot of people say that Uruguay's Oscar Washingtono Tavares is a loser who has changed teams in his coaching career but has never been able to produce convincing results. ”

When he said this, Bielsa rarely showed a look of admiration and sneer.

Although it is very light and fleeting, it is extremely difficult for a person as arrogant as him to be able to show admiration.

As for the sneer, I am afraid that it is sneering at the fact that people in the world often judge winners and losers based on their results.

Yang Huan knows that Tavares is the head coach of the Uruguayan national team, the 2010 South African world, Uruguay's meritorious coach who reached the top four, and the 2014 Brazil World Cup ended in the round of 16.

Uruguay was beaten by Colombia led by Colombian coach Pekerman.

But Tavares' most convincing record came in 2011, when he led the team to the Copa America.

It was the Copa America that Tavares proved his coaching ability.

"Tavares is the quintessential pragmatist, but he says the true meaning of football, the four basic elements of football, defense, attack, how to move from defense to attack, how to change from attack to defense, but the key is how to make the team rotate smoothly in all four phases"

"If you can do that, it's a great team"

Yang Huan had to give a thumbs up and give a thumbs up.

That's easy to say, it's very concise, right?

can make the football extremely complicated and cumbersome, and the core essence everywhere in simple terms, if you want to say that this person has no level, I don't believe it if I kill Yang Huan, because people who are not level can't say this kind of thing at all

That's how things are in this world.

It's like when we see those pianists, when they get the score, they don't need to practice, they can play the music at their fingertips.

Is it easy?

Yes, it's very easy.

But you have to know that behind the easy, it is their countless nights of hard work that make them a skilled and qualified pianist, and they can do it.

Can you do it for anyone who hasn't studied the piano?

"The last and most critical one, only on the basis of the first three, can you be qualified to pursue the ......"

“…… Improvisation"

Bielsa stared at the sticky notes on the wall in a daze, as if caught up in her own thoughts.

If the aestheticism pursued by Menotti is impossible, then the routines and dogmas pursued by Bilardo are possible, and looking at today's football, which team is not practicing routines? Which team isn't practicing their tactical formations? ”

"Even if it is Barcelona, which is known as the most creative force, and the most talented Zidane, Maradona, Messi and other players, are they not showing their own improvisation in dogmatic routines and tactical formations?"

"Only when you have done the possible can you have the right to pursue the impossible"

Yang Huan agrees with this very much.

Modern football is becoming more and more rigorous, more and more meticulous, and the role of the team is becoming more and more prominent.

It's impossible to win without a team, without a team as a whole.

Teamwork, on the other hand, often requires routines and tactical formations.

What do you practice when you train?

Isn't it just practicing routines and formations?

"I can casually name 150 defensive routines, and I can teach the team 150 offensive routines casually, but what I want to do is to lead the team to pursue the 151st offensive and defensive routines on the basis of mastering these 150 offensive and defensive routines."

"If my players are not human beings and can perform exactly what I want, then I will never lose"

The last sentence of the Argentine madman was very confident.

Yang Huan got goosebumps when he heard this.

Perhaps, in Bielsa's view, the one hundred and fifty routines belong to Bilardo, to the possibilities, to the routines of mechanical dogmas that can be calculated and mastered.

And the one hundred and fifty-one he pursues is the aestheticism that belongs to Menotti, which belongs to the impossible

If, the Argentine madman just talked, it was a fool.

But the problem is that he doesn't just say, he thinks, thinks day and night, and even puts it into practice, he does, he practices, he trys.

It's very, very difficult

Yang Huan even thought that perhaps only a madman like Bielsa, who loves football so much and has even reached the point of being paranoid, has the courage to pursue such a goal and concept.

Because, that may be an impossible goal to accomplish in a lifetime.

Yang Huan was finally able to understand why Bielsa didn't like to meddle in the team's transfer and the daily management of the team.

Because he doesn't have that much energy.

He put all his energy into thinking, on finding the one hundred and fifty-first method of attack and defense.

Yang Huan suddenly felt quite funny.

It's a shame that he used to think that Bielsa's life was too boring and monotonous.

But now, he suddenly felt that Bielsa's life was not boring, nor was it monotonous.

On the contrary, he lived a fuller and more colorful life than anyone else.

Because he knows his pursuit very well, and he also knows clearly the direction he wants to work towards.

That's enough

"Lao Bei"

Yang Huan suddenly stretched out his hand, patted Bielsa's shoulder, and couldn't stop laughing.

Bielsa seemed to be suddenly awakened, and looked at Young Master Huan with a little confusion in surprise.

"They all say I'm a crazy guy among a lot of football bosses, and you're a real madman in the managerial world

Bielsa looked at Yang Huan stunned with his first glance, which was a little sluggish, but when he looked closely, he looked at Yang Huan in a daze, he might be wondering, why did Young Master Huan say that?

"The two of us, although we are in different positions, are both crazy"

Speaking of this, Yang Huan laughed proudly.

"Then let's build a crazy team, enter the Premier League, enter the Champions League, stab me in this European football sky, turn him upside down, and let all the people in the world see the storm created by our two crazy people"

When he said this, Yang Huan looked at the sticky notes on the wall with a confident face.

It seems that those are not sticky notes, but the future of Southampton.

He made up his mind in his heart.

From now on, Bielsa asks for people, money for money, and gives whatever he wants.

Since the Argentines dare to gamble with their lives, why is Yang Huan afraid to gamble with him?

Listening to Young Master Huan's statement, Bielsa seemed to be greatly encouraged.

It was also at this moment that he really felt a kind of impassioned feeling of Maxima meeting Bole.

At that moment, the two sat down directly in the manager's office, and made a very in-depth and frank communication about some of Southampton's ideas and assumptions, as well as some of the team's existing problems.

Yang Huan was surprised at Bielsa's progress with the times at this time.

Yaya Goppei's, don't look at this guy as a stubborn old man, but his thoughts and ideas are quite trendy, and he is not lost to the current young people.

It was also during the conversation that Bielsa surprised Yang Huan again.

Today's managers like to study videos and edit them to explain tactics to their players and analyse their opponents.

There is also the ability to read the match report to the players and summarize the detailed technical files of the opponents for the next match.

These measures are quite popular now.

Do you know when Bielsa started using this type of training?

1997

This guy was applying for Sarsfield as head coach at the time, and he went with him fifty-one videos.

After the application was successful, a condition was put forward, which was to have a computer room.

He had to make his own video editing and make a report on the competition.

At the time, this was simply unheard of and unseen

Who would have been like Bielsa back then?

But these are all popular now, and almost every coach is like this, and they are commonplace

Even, the current top league professional teams basically have a set of technical analysis teams.

It can be seen that this guy is not only up to date with the times, but also a trendy man who is at the forefront of the times

Yang Huan is now admiring him more and more.

Yang Huan also attached great importance to the various requirements and ideas put forward by Bielsa.

If he could make a decision on the spot, he agreed on the spot.

As for some that still need to be negotiated with others, Yang Huan also said that he will do his best to support them.

Although Bielsa didn't say it on the surface, he understood it in his heart.

These are all the favors that Yang Huan gave him, and if he were to other teams, he would definitely not agree.

This means that Southampton needs to invest more money every year.

Therefore, he was more or less moved in his heart.

Maxima met Bole, what he didn't say, a word, just to die
