Chapter 148: Control

In the fourth round of Serie A, Roma drew with Inter Milan at home, which did not cause a little turmoil, except for some media comments on Zhang Tiehan's table, analyzing some Zhang Tiehan and his teammates' cooperation problems, nothing else.

At the moment, Roma, including the entire Italian sports media, are concerned about the Roma manager.

The media was talking about it as early as Worrall's departure, and for the Romans, after Worrall's departure, they all wanted Prandelli to return.

This is the dream of all Romans.

In 2002, Prandelli came to Parma, one of the "Seven Sisters of Serie A", and led Parma to the Coppa Italia, and his coaching career entered a brilliant one, including Marchioni, Mutu, Frei, Gilardino and so on were all Protégés of Prandelli during his time at Parma.

Last season, despite Parma's financial difficulties, Prandelli still led a young squad to a fifth-place finish in Serie A.

After leaving Parma, Prandelli took over Roma and also brought three of his assistants to the club of Rome, but he disappeared after just a week of resignation due to the serious illness of his wife, and then Worrall moved in.

After Worrall's departure, Bardini, the director of the Roma club, contacted Prandelli again, but unfortunately Prandelli's wife's condition did not get any relief, and he refused Bardini's invitation.

In this case, Delner, who has successfully coached Chievo, is the best choice.

Bardini spoke directly to Del Neri's agent, Brambarty, on several phone calls, and then Bardini approached Drinel, who was on his way to Milan, and asked him to coach the club.

After the two made contact by phone, Drinel rushed to Rome.

Next, the two sides began to communicate face-to-face.

It was a private communication, but after the communication ended, a lot of the media got the news. They were the first to interview Drinel.

"I know Bardini and we talk a lot of things directly." Speaking to the media, Delnell said, "There are a lot of things that haven't been completely resolved, but I think it will only take two days to sign the contract. ”

Delneri was optimistic after the talks.

The focus of the talks was the length of the contract, with Roma not wanting Drinel to be in charge for too long. They would prefer a coach who will satisfy both the club and the fans, but Drinel clearly does not want to be an interim coach and has made it clear that he will not accept a one-year contract.

Drinel also made a point of emphasising, "They should know what kind of job to give me. ”

The day after the match with Inter Milan, Bardini gave a detailed report on his conversation with Delneri to the president of the club, Sensi, who would then have a face-to-face contact with Del Neri.

The talks with Sensi will be decisive.

Derneri, who had requested a three-year contract, had received an affirmative reply from Bardini - Roma would sign him on a two-year contract, with a third year of his first refusal. In addition, the AS Roma club has assured that they will buy back the player Delneri wants in the transfer market next January. The premise, of course, is that Delneri does his best to bring Rome out of the 'crisis'.

However, Delnell said he is very happy with the current configuration of the Roma squad, but he has not ruled out bringing in players when the winter transfer market opens.

It didn't take long for Drinel to sign with AS Roma.

He doesn't have a high salary of 1.3 million euros a year, and after the official signing, Delner started working, and at the moment Roma have no time to delay. He knows a little bit about Roma but wants to help the team through the crisis. More and more detailed understanding is needed.

At noon when Drinel signed with Roma, many Roma players expressed their welcome to Drinel in an interview.

"If he comes, I will be satisfied, and with him Roma will definitely get back on their feet." Totti.

"I'm looking forward to it." Del Vecchio.

"He's doing a good job in Chievo." Cassano.

Zhang Tiehan shrugged. He also said, "I just hope he can play me......"

The Roma player's statement gave Delnell a lot of confidence that he would not be in charge until tomorrow, but he came to the pitch that afternoon to meet with the players.

When Drinel arrived, the Roma players got the news. Under Totti's organization, everyone lined up to greet Drinel, which was a small welcome ceremony, and it was no surprise that Drinel will lead Roma to at least one season, and everyone wants to have a good relationship with Drinel.

After meeting with the players, Drinel went straight to his office, stayed in it all afternoon, and only came out at 10 p.m., by which time all the players had left.

Ezio Serra was accompanying Drinel.

Now in the Roma coaching staff, only he and Rajik belong to the Roma club, the other three are all assistants left by Prandelli, and Rajik also has to take care of the youth team, he became Drinel's first assistant coach.

Drinel walked out of the office looking a little tired after an afternoon of work, but he still walked around the training ground before leaving the club.

That's when he saw that the gym lights were on.

"Don't you turn off the lights at night?" Drinel wondered.

"That's Zhang, he doesn't come home until eight o'clock every day." ”

"Zhang? He's going home at eight? Drinel took over Roma, and naturally knew that Zhang Tiehan, who transferred to Rome in the summer, Zhang Tiehan also performed extremely well in the last round of the league, but he couldn't understand what he was doing in the gym so late, "Does he have to work out until eight o'clock?" ”

"Yes, sir." "He's like that every day, and I think that's why he's so strong." ”

Drinel had a long mouth and wanted to say something, but he was stunned for a long time before nodding with a wry smile, "No wonder many people say that he is as strong as two bulls, I think this is how he was trained." ”

I also felt a little bit in my heart when I said that.

More than a year ago, Drinel competed for the Roma coaching position, but failed, and more than two months ago, he also wanted to enter Roma, but unfortunately Worrall took the lead. Now that he is a Roma coach and has looked at the team profile, he knows each player in Roma quite well.

Zhang Tiehan, a player with excellent personal ability, is physically strong and scary, and his long-range shots and headers are very good.

But the training situation or something. He didn't know, but now that he saw that Zhang Tiehan was still working out at eight o'clock, he was a little satisfied, and any coach wanted his players to work hard.

In the evaluation of Zhang Tiehan, Drinel silently added in his heart - the training is quite hard.

……

The next day, Drinel officially got to work.

The training of the Roma team has also changed a little because of the arrival of Drinel, and the other training is fine, after all, at the beginning of the league, such as physical training, it is mainly about maintaining fitness. It doesn't make the players too easy and not tired, but the tactical training is a bit more varied.

Drinel asked every player to 'run' and, while 'running', increasing the number of passes to each other in order to find gaps and opportunities to break the defensive formation.

Previously, Worrall's approach was to make small changes to the three-striker formation left by Fabio Capello. to ensure that the players cooperate smoothly.

It took him a month to pinch the team into a whole.

Drinel's approach is one step closer. Roma were still in the league and didn't have much time for him to make drastic changes to the team's tactics, and he still used Worrall's tactical routine, but asked his players to speed up the attacking tempo a lot.

He wants the team to be fast when they want to be fast and slow when they want to be slow, so that the team can be more aggressive. Think about it, when it's time to play, your opponent has already adjusted to your attacking rhythm, but you suddenly get a little faster, which will definitely catch your opponent off guard. If this tempo becomes manageable, the threat of attack will certainly increase significantly.

Drinel wants the team to do just that.

But it's difficult to do this in a short period of time, and he thinks it will take more than three months.

In addition to tactical training in terms of rhythm, Drinel also brought some tactical diversity to the team, such as a variety of small coordination routines, as well as return pass raid coordination when attacking in the middle, etc., these small coordination can often play a big role when practiced.

It's also a tacit understanding between the training players.

It all sounds good, but Zhang Tiehan feels that training is very difficult, he has been working hard, but he is not even familiar with Worrall's tactics, let alone speeding up, and he needs to be familiar with it for a long time if he wants to integrate into the team.

Drinel is demanding of him.

Although he has just come to the club in Rome, as an old man who has been engaged in the football coaching industry for 20 years, Drinel also knows where Zhang Tiehan's problem is, that is, he is incompatible with the team, and he needs to integrate into the team as much as possible in order to play a greater role.

It is difficult for Zhang Tiehan to become familiar with these things in a short period of time, and it is difficult for him to adapt to complicated tactics.

When Worrall was in Rome, every training match he had to do was reach for the ball and his team-mates would pass it, and at Wigan Athletic he did the same, if he had the chance, his team-mates would pass the ball and then all he needed to do was score the ball, but now if he does that, Drinel will whistle and run over and signal that he is not doing the right thing.

'You can't shoot every time and sometimes the chances aren't good.

"Just like just now, Cassano has run out of space, you just need to push the ball a little to the left, and Cassano will have the opportunity to push the empty goal." ”

Zhang Tiehan nodded with a wry smile.

He also understood what the coach meant, but it was very difficult to do, just like just now, Cassano was standing behind him, but his attention was always on defending his players and football, and he had no time to care about Cassano's position.

For two days in a row, Zhang Tiehan was doing brainless training.

He didn't make much progress.

In terms of tactics and running, it is really difficult to make rapid progress, which has nothing to do with talent or anything, it is completely an experience, a subconscious behavior, such as on the field, in fact, ordinary people can't see that Zhang Tiehan has a problem with his running position, at least he will not run and repeat the position of his teammates, but at the same time he always can't run better, this aspect mainly needs to carefully observe the opponent's formation, and pay attention to the position of opponents and teammates near him.

Zhang Tiehan is not used to observing the position of his teammates, especially when his teammates are on the other side of the football, he is used to using 'see through' to find opportunities, and sometimes his energy is too focused to take care of his teammates, let alone the opponent's position.

Only as far as his eyes could he know a little more.

If you want to have a tacit cooperation with your teammates, you need to continue training, such as the simplest two-by-one cooperation, he passes the ball to his teammates, and crosses the opponent to insert it, if there is a tacit understanding, the teammates will definitely pass the ball over, and without tacit understanding, the teammates will pass the ball to others.

It's really hard to improve in this area in a short period of time.

For Zhang Tiehan's expression in training, Drinel was somewhat disappointed, if Zhang Tiehan could not quickly integrate into the team, when he met a strong team, he would have a useful hole card.

Roma still has a zài crisis, one of the crises is that the core players of the team's frontcourt are too young, such as Cassano, De Rossi and others, all of whom are only in their early twenties, although they are all future stars, but that is the future, they are still far from the famous frontcourt of Serie A, such as Sheva, Kaka, Gilardino and others.

Among them, the youngest Zhang Tiehan is much more mature.

Drinel watched a lot of Zhang Tiehan's goal videos, and he found that Zhang Tiehan was much calmer than Cassano, especially when shooting, he could choose the way to shoot rationally, so there would be more goals, and Cassano always wasted opportunities again and again, this is a matter of mentality.

If Zhang Tiehan can't fit into the team, when Roma meets a strong team, especially a strong team in Serie A, it will be very difficult for Zhang Tiehan to have a good appearance.

There is nothing Drinel can do about this, and it still depends on Zhang Tiehan's own ability to adapt to learning.

However, Zhang Tiehan did not bother about this for long.

After the training of this day, he had no time to think about tactical training, and his mind was occupied by another good news - the second supernatural secret technique was unsealed!

More than two months!

It's hard to understand the pain of working out for three hours a day and dragging his tired body home every day, especially in a bustling and inviting metropolis like Rome, where he rarely even eats with his teammates and spends most of his time exercising alone.

But seeing the unsealing of the supernatural secret technique, Zhang Tiehan felt that it was worth it.

It's the same as 'Seeing Through', after the second supernatural secret technique is unsealed, there is no introduction, and there is just a name - control!

At the moment of unblocking, Zhang Tiehan had a mysterious feeling, as if he couldn't escape his eyes all around, up and down, left and right, no, not his eyes...... (To be continued......)
