Chapter 83: Pre-season Training

Although the media was full of cynicism about Chang Sheng's two transfer operations, Chang Sheng still led Yaya Toure and Barzaretti to a media conference.

As last time, there are only journalists from the official website of Getafe and the newspaper Local Life of Getafe.

So Chang Sheng once again explained the reason for this to the two surprised players.

At the press conference, Chang Sheng directly announced that as long as these two players perform well in training, they will get more opportunities to play than everyone thinks.

'I'm a very young manager myself and I know that talent has nothing to do with age. So if they show the quality to impress me, I'll give them a lot of trust and get them more chances to play. ”

The next day, his remarks appeared in the newspaper Local Life of Getafe.

Carlos Mediano gave the interview the title "The Storm of Youth That Often Stirs Up in Getafe".

There are a lot of very young players in Getafe's first-team squad today, and at the age of twenty-six or seventeen, they are basically "veterans".

Carlos Campo and Jose Passarella, who played the main team last season, are both players who have just turned 18 years old.

The four players he bought this season are also very young, the oldest being Senna, who is only 24 years old, Luis Garcia is 22 years old, Mista is 21 years old, Charlesteau and Barzaretti are 19 years old, and Yaya Toure is even younger, just two months after his 17th birthday.

Especially Yaya Toure, many people think that Changsheng bought it for the future. He just sees Yaya Toure's potential - although it is not known how he sees it, and whether Yaya Toure has potential or not - and the transfer should be focused on the future.

Unexpectedly, Chang Sheng said that as long as Yaya Toure performs well in training, he will have the opportunity to play in the first team!

And from the usual training, everyone can also see it. Yaya Toure didn't report to Team C, nor did he go to Team B for training, he was training with the first team!

This shows that Chang Sheng treated him as a first-team player from the beginning!

"That Chinese must be crazy......"

"He's completely insane! Thought that Carlos Campo and Jose Passarella had a good performance last season and could rely on young players to win the world? Young but inexperienced, this will be fatal for Getafe! ”

"Because I'm a young coach, what can I say has nothing to do with age? It's really laughing out of the big teeth! ”

"Charlie Steias is the most famous of the four, as he is the main center forward of the Greek under-19 national team...... It's pathetic. This is evident in the level of Getafe's four signings this season. So it's unreliable to let the manager control the transfer power......"

The media is full of all sorts of cynicism about Chang Sheng.

Moskador looked at the newspaper in front of him and clenched his fists excitedly.

In the past few days, he has been following what the media has to say about Getafe's transfer.

Except for the winning lackey "Getafe Local Life", other media are criticizing Getafe's transfer recruitment, believing that Changsheng wasted a lot of transfer funds. Not only did everyone never hear the name when he bought it, but he was too young, and such a transfer fully illustrated his naivety.

Moscow snorted.

He likes to read articles like this.

Looking at such an article, he will have a feeling that Chang Sheng has "betrayed his relatives".

You kid want transfer rights? Okay, I'll give it to you! Look how disgraced you are now!

Anyway, you'll have a chance for the year. Your failure will only prove how unreliable it is to give transfer rights to the manager!

I can use this failed case to tell Flores that the transfer power is still going to be handed over to me!

Moskvado is not at all angry that Chang Sheng has taken away his transfer power, but instead he is in the mood to watch the excitement. It's very relaxing.

He waited for Chang Victory to be unlucky, and then he naturally consolidated his power.

So it seems. Chang Sheng helped him.

After Yaya Toure and Barzaretti arrived in the team, Chang Sheng revealed to the reporter of "Getafe Local Life". This is the end of this season's transfer for Getafe.

He won't buy another guy and although he still has some transfer money in his hands, he's happy with the current squad.

The team's focus now should be on pre-season training camps, not on the transfer market.

On 24 July, the Getafe first team played a warm-up match against Getafe C at Las Margarita Sports City.

In the end, the winning Getafe first team defeated Team C with a score of 5-1.

There was no so-called main player and substitute in this game, and there were more than eleven substitutions on both sides.

Every player in the first team was given a chance to play, even Yaya Toure and Barzaretti, who had just joined the team for a few days.

The warm-up competition does not focus on the results, but on the process. The most important thing is to test the team's progress through warm-up matches, to look at the quality and form of the new players, to identify problems and solve them.

Anyway, now in the mind of Chang Sheng, there is no fixed main lineup.

The players who played the main team last season may not continue to play the main team this season.

He made it clear to everyone at the start of pre-season.

Now his main squad list is blank, and there is no one on it.

Last season's performance gave them an impression of the winning side at best, but it wasn't decisive.

So in order to be able to play the main team in the new season, the players have trained very hard.

Especially the veteran players of Getafe, they know how to win.

He's the kind of guy who is particularly demanding in training.

If anyone cheats and cheats in training, they don't do it well. So...... The head coach will also say that he is happy to see the strength of the B team.

They absolutely believe that the manager can do this kind of thing.

And after Gimenez's publicity, the new players are also a lot more honest.

Even a person like Luis Garcia, who has a lively and jumpy personality, seems to be very serious in training.

In fact, the new players are more motivated.

Because after coming to a new place, I always want to prove myself desperately. Show the performance to the manager, I hope to get more opportunities to play, and if I can directly become the main team, it will be better.

Chang Sheng is very happy with the attitude of the players in training.

That doesn't mean he's in a good mood right now, though.

In fact, he suddenly found himself in a problem.

The training of the reserve has ended, and the team has begun to officially enter the stage of tactical reserve training.

He can finally get the team to practice his tactics.

In fact, the tactics of this team are much the same as those of last season, and there is not much difference.

Especially defensively.

It is still mainly to emphasize the defensive position, and use tough defense to contain the opponent's attack.

The winning defensive tactics do not practice simple man-to-man defence. It's man-to-man plus zone defense. That is to say, the player still has to mark people, but only within his own defensive zone. Each player has his own zone and marks when an opposing player enters his zone. But when the opponent leaves the defense zone. Give up marking, hold your position, and hand over the marking to your teammates.

The advantage of this complex defensive tactic is that it has a tight man-to-man defense, which does not leave too much space and time for the opposing players, and at the same time, it can also avoid your own defensive formation being disrupted by the opposing players.

This defensive tactic is not a common invention.

Back in the Saki era. Sacchi is a master of the tactics of zone defense, and he has made a huge contribution to the practical level, theoretical height and wide spread of zone defense, since he started. The free man and man marker that was once the standard model of Italian football are gone.

As a result, the existence of the free man, which once dominated international football, gradually disappeared and was eliminated by modern football.

Germany's Summerer at Euro 1996 was considered the last true free man.

Since then. There were no more free men.

Because the essence of the free man tactic is to create a local numerical advantage through the sudden insertion of the central defender. Resulting in a situation of more fighting less, a sudden attack, which caught the opponent off guard.

This is the best way to crack the man-to-man defensive tactics.

But when the zone is defended, it is difficult for the defending side to be at a numerical disadvantage in a certain place, they hold their own defensive zone, and as long as the free man appears, there will always be someone to defend him.

In this way, the free man loses his meaning.

In today's European football, the regional man-to-man defense has been accepted by more teams, which further compresses the living space of free agents.

Summer, of course, can rely on his brilliance and efforts to bring the free man back to glory for a short time.

But once he was injured, the free man disappeared completely, and it can be seen that in fact, the free man tactics have long been at the end of the road, and Summerer is just returning to the past.

Because of the use of regional man-to-man, the coordination between the players is very demanding. Because it is necessary to avoid the situation of missing people.

Defensive training remains a major part of the training of winning tactics.

Because of the foundation of last season's success, and the fact that the back line has been the least moving in this season's transfers, the defensive tactics have been practiced quite smoothly.

The problem is on offense.

According to the idea of winning often, the attack is simply a long ball counterattack from the back, finding the high point of Charlistias, and using Charlesteauas headers to ferry to wingers like Mista and Luis Garcia. The rest of the discussion is simple, either choose to go down with a low cross or cut inside to shoot.

Luis Garcia and Mista are not strictly wingers. Because a winger needs to have the ability to cross.

At this point, maybe they are not as good as Kaiku and **vic.

However, Mista's ability to run off the ball is excellent, while Luis Garcia is very skilled. It doesn't matter if you're not good at crossing, as long as you have the skills and can run out of the space, you can also cross, and it should be a short pass.

It stands to reason that with Luis Garcia's skill and pace, it should be easy to break through the gaps on the flank, and then cross, Charlie Steas can make the most of his height advantage and header, while Mista cuts into the box and makes a second contact point, mainly by picking up leaks to score.

Therefore, Getafe's main attacking direction is on the left wing, and in order to strengthen the attack here, he also specially brought in Barzaretti on loan, because Barzaretti's crosses are good.

Getafe will not be as conservative as last season in the new season.

The most typical change is to allow full-backs to insert assists, but only on the left.

Luis Garcia likes to cut inside, and that's okay, he can cut inside and then draw all the opposition defence's attention to the middle, making room for the left-back to get in and Barzaretti to cut in and cross without pressure.

Charles Steias was followed in the middle, plus Mista in ambush.

Chang Sheng thought about it in his mind for a while, and felt that this set of offensive tactics should not have much effect.

But it backfired, and after playing two warm-up games, Chang Sheng found a problem.

It stands to reason that this set of offensive tactics should be very smooth, because it is simple.

But the reality is that it doesn't go smoothly at all!
