Chapter 43: The Tip of the Horns
Lin Sen came to the training ground, looked at the figure on the sidelines, and did not follow, but walked to the side of the training ground and sat down.
Yesterday, he became an autocratic coach and canceled the team's post-game routine for no other reason, last week's training time was too little, and the next week's double game, the team's training time was not much, so he could only temporarily deprive the players of their vacation time and let them focus on the upcoming games as much as possible. So, it's not surprising that Bell is here today.
While jogging, Bale quickly noticed Linson sitting on the edge of the training ground, and he was a little puzzled, but he still kept his original pace under his feet. A moment later, when he ran to Lin Sen's side, he politely took the lead in greeting.
"Good morning, Mr. Coach."
"Good morning."
Lin Sen, who nodded in response, had a faint smile on his face, then pointed to the grass next to him and said, "Let's talk?" ”
Bell nodded, there was no big surprise in his heart, from the moment he saw Lin Sen, he knew that Lin Sen could not appear for no reason.
"Chappi sue me, you've been here early for the last few days?" When Bell sat down, Lin Sen looked at him and said.
"I want to heal as much as I can." Bell nodded in acknowledgment that it wasn't a secret.
"Do you heal from your injuries? Arriving early will not make the injury recover sooner, and you should rest more. Lin Sen smiled.
"I understand, but I'm feeling better."
Feel? Lin Sen still smiled in his heart, this word was the most heard word from the players' mouths when he was still the team doctor. Usually at this time, Lin Sen will deliberately give the players some bitter taste, let them know how bad they feel. But right now, he's not going to argue against Bale, partly because he's no longer the team doctor, and second, because Bale is almost as good as his injury. Thereupon. He changed the subject, "You've been practicing lately?" ”
In football, technology is actually a very general concept, because it includes defensive skills, offensive skills and even goalkeeping skills, and in each technology, there are various branches, such as defense and interception skills, marking skills and so on. Normally, though, technique refers to the aspect that Lin Sen is asking Bell about now: breakthrough skills, or more bluntly, passing skills.
"Yes." Bell didn't expect that the "small stove" he opened for himself was also seen by Lin Sen, and he was a little surprised. But there is also nothing to hide, the team's technical training, simply from the number of people can be divided into two kinds, one is the whole team training, the other is individual training, the whole team training will basically focus on skills and tactics, and individual training, sometimes depends on the needs of the coach, but more often. It's an individual practice.
Seeing Bell nodding, Lin Sen paused, and then suddenly asked, "What do you think of Robben's technique?" ”
That's really a simple question. So simple that there is almost no second answer. But it was this question that made Bell's face change, in fact, it is not difficult to imagine what Bell was thinking at this time, Lin Sen first asked him if he was practicing his technique, and then proposed that Robben, whose technique was obviously very good. What does Lin Sen mean by this? Could it be that he wants Belbyro to be his teacher?
There was silence for a long time before Bell slowly spat out two words: good.
Robben's technique is certainly good, but it is not only good. To put it mildly, excluding those ancient characters and some legendary folk masters, the active players on this planet who dare to claim to be better than the Dutch, even if one hand is not enough, two hands can always be counted. Just, so what? Bale respects Robben, but he never sees himself and Robben as two levels of player.
And after spitting out these two words, Bell was ready to listen to Lin Sen say that sentence, and then give a clear refusal, however, he heard Lin Sen ask another "nonsense".
"So, what do you think Robben's greatest strength is?"
Isn't the biggest advantage the technology you just mentioned? Bell frowned a little, but he still answered honestly: technology.
Yes, it's technology, and Bale thinks the biggest gap between himself and Robben is technology, which is why he's been working in that direction.
It's just that for his reply, this time Lin Sen shook his head, "No, Robben's biggest advantage is not technology. ”
No? What is that? Bellen paused.
"It's speed." Lin Sen pointed to Bell's feet, "Simply put, it's to run fast." Robben is of course technically excellent, but his biggest advantage is not his technique, but his speed, many of his skills are based on the advantage of speed, and his speed makes his skills more free. So, let me ask you one more question, what do you think is your greatest strength? ”
This time, Bell was silent.
Now, if he doesn't know what Lin Sen wants to say, then he's Bell, but Shell.
"You don't think I should practice technique?" After a moment, Bell said slowly.
"Nope." Lin Sen still shook his head, "I definitely don't mean to let you give up technical training, technology and speed are never either/or, the more comprehensive the technique, the stronger you will be, there is no doubt about it." I mean, now you should know what your biggest weapon is, maybe wait until one day, technology will be your biggest advantage, but for now...... For example, if you own a pistol, why would you fight the opponent? You know, fighting is not your goal, knocking out the opponent is your goal! ”
Lin Sen had to make so many detours, and the simpler the truth, the more difficult it was to explain it sometimes. It's like the legendary one-plus-one puzzle, everyone knows equals two, but why? Once you get into the horns, you can only pray that he will be free from the sea of suffering sooner. And right now, Bell is drilling into the tip of the horns of technology, since his position was preceded by Lin Sen, he is too obsessed with breaking through, this is not a problem, the problem is that he is not using the way he is best at.
Seeing Bell fall silent again, Lin Sen stood up, patted Bell on the shoulder, and said another sentence half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"You won't play in the next game, take a good rest and think about it. You can't go back to the back line anyway, there's no place for you. ”
Linson was joking, Bale could certainly return to the backline, and at the moment Bridge's substitute Azpilicueta is actually the most comfortable position at right wing-back, and Bale is much more authentic than him. It's just that Lin Sen doesn't want him to go back, 27 million, Lin Sen wants more than just a left wingback.
Linsen is also serious, in the next game, he does not plan to let Bale play, against the Nationals, the starter will be Petrov, in Linsen's eyes, Bale's best chance of comeback is in the next league game.
The match against Manchester United -
After the 3-1 win over Tottenham, Ferguson and Redknapp had a drink, and a post-match drink is a Premier League tradition that, while less and less emphasized, has become a habit for the older generation of Premier League managers.
The wine was brought by Ferguson, which Ferguson "owes" to Old Ray because of the summer Bell affair. Although Bale eventually went to the next door, Ferguson still had to pay back the favor.
When two old guys who can be called the living dictionary of the Premier League get together, they naturally dare to say anything, but they are also very measured. Redknapp, who lost, was very open-minded, and Ferguson, who won, did not get carried away. The opponents of the two in the next game happen to be the two most popular foreign managers in the Premier League at the moment, Ancelotti and Linsen, one led the team to five consecutive wins, as stable as Mount Tai, and the other led the team to four consecutive wins, as safe as a rock.
The game is definitely not going to be good.
In terms of odds, Alex Ferguson's Manchester United are clearly higher than Redknapp's Tottenham, because Manchester United have more morale and because Manchester City are a little easier to deal with than Chelsea in any way.
But, only a little.
For more than 20 years, the disciples who used to gallop on the court in the past have now stood on the sidelines in suits and leather shoes, but Old Trafford is still the same figure, standing on the grass at the beginning and sitting on the seat at the beginning, as steady as Mount Tai.
Keeping pace with the times is always said to be the reason why Ferguson became the godfather of Manchester United, but in fact, keeping pace with the times does not solve a problem, especially on the football field, because every team has the characteristics of each team, Barcelona's football has swept Europe in just one season, learning their passing and control is not keeping pace with the times, but can this kind of advancing with the times really make any team become Barcelona? Apparently not.
Therefore, keeping pace with the times is not a problem, how to maintain their own characteristics in keeping pace with the times, so as to develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses, this is the problem. Ferguson, on the other hand, used the red empire he built more than 20 years to give an almost perfect answer to this question. Not to mention, from the most familiar Beckham to Ronaldo, from full-back to winger, and even the role change of Ryan Giggs, the players under Ferguson have never been the same style, but Ferguson's tactical characteristics have never changed.
Simplicity and efficiency.
The reason why Ferguson was able to do this is because of Ferguson's keen instincts for tactics, but a bigger reason is that Ferguson is very good at taking what he needs from his opponents.
Alex Ferguson has never been blind in his words, not taking all opponents seriously, but in reality, when it comes to the meticulous analysis of opponents, there are few in the Premier League as a whole. The so-called strategic contempt for the opponent and tactical attention to the opponent, Ferguson can be said to have achieved the extreme. There is one person who is the same for this, that is Mourinho, Ferguson and Mourinho, who often fight in public, but in private they can drink and talk, not just appreciating.
So, when Redknapp joked that it would be nice if he could change opponents, Ferguson reacted with a slight smile but did not answer.
A change of opponent? Is this noisy neighbor really that easy to deal with this season? (To be continued......)
