Every winter, many Europeans head south to the warm Iberian Peninsula for a holiday.

Among them, Mallorca and the Canary Islands are undoubtedly the most popular places for tourists, because of their warm climate and natural beaches, which can enjoy a comfort that is not possible in the cold north.

Coming to Mallorca from the icy and snowy Nordics, Ye Qiu was a little uncomfortable, but in the past two years, he has always insisted on physical exercise, so his physical fitness is good, and there is no cold or anything like that, and the players in the team are also in good health, but it is the staff, and some people are sick.

In order to avoid infection, Ye Qiu simply let them take a holiday to rest, and then work with the team when their condition is better.

The most important thing in the two-week winter break training camp is to adjust the body, as well as physical reserves, in terms of skills and tactics, Ye Qiu's overall team framework has been almost run-in, and he has a clear understanding of the technical characteristics of the players.

In his godfather cultivation system, the new training method is divided into three levels, the primary level is considered to lay the foundation, the upgraded version is the intermediate level, which is further improved, and then the upgrade is the advanced version, which is quite expensive, Ye Qiu almost spent his savings for two years, a total of 1000 reward points, to buy this advanced version.

It's a bit more expensive, but it's also genuine, and unlike beginner and intermediate, the advanced version is divided into two sets of training methods, penetration and air cutting.

The four corners of the square are still 10 meters long, and the four corners are ABCD, player A passes the ball to position B, player B suddenly runs diagonally to position D, player D runs to position C, and player C quickly runs back from position C to position B, after receiving the ball, player C passes to position C, player D who returns to position C runs diagonally to position A, player A runs to position D, and player B who ran to position D before quickly retreats to position C to receive the ball.

This is a square attack phalanx that can only be composed of 4 players, but in this attack phalanx, there are actually two triangles, two of which are responsible for covering and responding, and the other two players are responsible for passing and receiving the ball.

The reason why this is called penetration is actually because this kind of penetration cooperation is under high-density defensive pressure, through this smooth and fast penetration cooperation, it can directly disintegrate the opponent's defensive system, and then smoothly deliver the ball to the opponent's 30-meter area.

Another training method is called air cut, as the name suggests, penetration focuses on passing coordination, and air cut is running.

It is still the ABCD four players, player A gets the ball in position A, player C runs from position C to point A, player A calculates the speed of player C, accurately passes the ball to his feet when he reaches the middle area of the square, and then starts and sprints by himself, and quickly rushes to point C.

If it is passed to A, player A will take the ball directly to point C, and if it is to pass to point C and let A who sprints over take the ball.

This set of training methods mainly trains the tacit understanding of the players' air cut and reverse run in the dense defense, and the biggest role is to use this kind of anti-run and air cut run to widen the distance between the opposing players and form loopholes.

Generally speaking, with the speed of a professional player, even if it is slow, as long as you can stretch the distance between defenders to 15 meters, you can create a threat, if it is open to 20 meters, then almost every run as long as the ball can be passed into place, it is enough to kill, if it is in the front of the penalty area, almost every time it is a single knife.

The penetration is mainly aimed at man-to-man, and the air cut is aimed at the area, these two sets of training methods are aimed at the only two defensive methods in football tactics, man-to-man and zone defense, and the purpose of Ye Qiu's introduction of these two sets of training methods is to hope that players can practice purely, and then become an instinct, switching at will in the game.

Nowadays, football defense is an organic combination of man-to-man and zonal defence, and many times you can't tell whether it is zone defence or man-to-man, so skillfully switching these two different offensive methods according to the situation of the game can undoubtedly maximize the attacking ability of Ajax players.

As for the return pass and horizontal pass, this is also a project that Ye Qiu has practiced a lot, because the return pass can ensure the ball control to the greatest extent, and ensuring the ball control is to ensure his control of the game, and the tactical role of the horizontal pass is also very large, because the horizontal pass can better expose the opponent to the hole in depth, and then provide the opportunity for direct passing.

But obviously, penetration and air cutting are very complex, and the requirements for players are also very high, whether it is a touch of the ball, or the tacit understanding between each other, there are high requirements, coupled with the control of ball speed, strength, etc., which undoubtedly poses a higher training difficulty for Ajax's players.

At least, during the two-week training camp in Mallorca, even if the Ajax first team has been able to skillfully use the new training methods of the primary and intermediate versions, when practicing penetration and air cutting, there are still many mistakes and omissions, exposing a lot of problems.

But Ye Qiu believes that with the foundation of the previous two sets of training methods, as long as more time is given, I believe that the players will be able to quickly adapt to the advanced version of the new training method, and by that time, the strength of the Ajax players will have a qualitative leap.

When Ye Qiu led the team to a low-key training camp in Mallorca, the transfer market in Europe during the winter break refused to calm them, first it was rumored that Bayern Munich hoped to bring in the main central defender Lucio from Ajax for 8 million euros, and then Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson said that the team had made an offer for Ajax with an offer of 12 million euros.

These two big-pocketed and most combative teams in European football in the past two years, as well as their eye on Ajax's centre-backs, have undoubtedly caused a lot of repercussions in the European transfer market.

If you want to talk about central defenders, it seems that there is no shortage of good central defenders, there are many good central defenders, Nesta, Cannavaro, Samuel......

But which of these central defenders is not expensive? Which one is not the backbone of the big team?

Aside from these central defenders in Serie A, looking at European football, there are really not many central defenders who have emerged over the years and can really make people shine and have a satisfactory performance on the pitch.

Lucio's strengths and weaknesses are also quite obvious compared to these central defenders, but his performance is constantly improving, constantly improving his shortcomings, and more importantly, his price is really not high for those big teams.

So, the two hottest centre-backs in the transfer market, PSV Eindhoven's Hovland, and Ajax's Lucio.

Ye Qiu also received the news for the first time, and he immediately spoke to Van Praag on the phone, and made it clear that the club president had a pivotal value in his tactical system, and he did not want the Brazilian central defender to transfer.

"If Lucio is lost, it will be difficult for me to imagine who will fill his vacancy!"

Kolo? Toure is not stable enough to play central defense, and whether it is him or Heitinga, the combination with Kifu will cause Ajax to weaken in the air, at least in the face of Eindhoven's twin towers, Ye Qiu does not have enough confidence.

Ye Qiu's strong reaction made Van Praag react immediately in Amsterdam, saying that Ajax would never sell as a central defender, while denying that the club has any links with Bayern Munich and Manchester United.

And Ye Qiu in Mallorca, Spain, found Lucio after a training session.

…………

…………

Mallorca is full of sandy beaches and tourists, and if you're lucky, you might even be able to see a few people enjoying a naturist bath, but it's hard to say if it's a beautiful woman.

"Head, look over there!"

Walking on a beach near the hotel, Lucio pointed to the back of a **woman not far away, smiling coquettishly reminding.

Ye Qiu looked at it, his waist was very thick, and he shook his head, "Bucket, it is estimated that he is not too young." ”

Lucio Ha laughed, "Zlatan likes this kind of older people, I heard that after training yesterday evening, they went to the beach, and he specially looked for those young women in their thirties, the taste is too heavy." ”

Although it is a training camp, Ye Qiu emphasizes the training time, outside of the training time, he still gives the players enough relaxation, as for whether the players stay in the hotel to play games and watch TV, or go to the beach to hook up with MM, Ye Qiu does not have too strict restrictions on this.

But everyone knows the rules of Ye Qiu, the work and rest time must be strictly followed, and the training session must go all out.

Ye Qiu guessed that Ibrahimovic lacked family warmth since he was a child, and it is estimated that he must not like those little girls who need to be taken care of by his boyfriend in turn, and he should prefer those women who can take care of him and are older than him.

"What about you? I heard, you're getting married? Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

Lucio is going to get married, Ye Qiu still heard it from the player, I heard that after the end of the World Cup, his wife is a girl from his hometown, what does the person look like, Ye Qiu doesn't know what Lu Dao does, he has never seen it, and he has never heard Lucio mention it.

The Brazilian centre-back is actually a very low-key man, and he has never even asked his wife to come to the Arena Stadium.

"Well, get married after the World Cup is over!" With Lucio's current status in the Brazilian national team, participating in the World Cup is a sure thing. Silva is a key player that Scolari trusts so much.

"Head, I've always been grateful that you brought me to Europe, so, this summer, you have to go to Brazil, and others." Listing Ye Qiu separately shows his status in Lucio's mind.

Coming to the Netherlands from Brazil, Lucio only played in the Eredivisie, but the situation was very different from Brazil, he made more money here, played fewer games, and at the same time he became more well-known, and life here was comfortable and quiet, not as chaotic and troublesome as Brazil.

Of course, he has never forgotten that he is a Brazilian, so he has always considered it his duty and vocation to play for the Brazilian national team.

"I'll go!" Ye Qiu nodded in agreement.

The two of them stepped on the soft and soft sand, both wearing flip-flops, the sand got into the shoes, and the soles of the feet stepped on, itchy and comfortable, especially with the laughter of the surrounding tourists, people's mood couldn't help but improve a lot.

"Do you know what Bayern Munich and Manchester United have been interested in you lately?" Ye Qiu asked as he walked.

Lucio's agent is Eliza, Ye Qiu has long known the news, Bayern Munich and Manchester United have contacted Eliza, and the latter has also conveyed it to Lucio, but Eliza does not support Lucio's transfer, not because of her relationship with Ye Qiu, but for the long-term development of Lucio's career.

It's just that Lucio is a little hesitant to hear about it.

"Zhilu Dao, I ......" Facing Ye Qiu, Lucio couldn't lie," ...... I'm a little at a loss for what to do right now. ”

Ye Qiu smiled after hearing this, nodded and said: "Yes, the high-ranking giant team, who doesn't want to play at Old Trafford and at the Olympic Stadium, it is the best group of players in the world who are qualified to be on the stage, and no one can resist the temptation from there." ”

Lucio turned his head sideways and looked at Ye Qiu with some confusion, shouldn't he stop himself?

Sure enough, when he said this, Ye Qiu's words changed, "But have you thought about it, Lucio, have you thought about why so many players have joined the giants, but they have never been able to make a name for themselves in the giants?" ”

Lucio was stunned by Ye Qiu's question, he really couldn't answer this question, but he knew very well that this question did exist.

If nothing else, let's just say that how many players from Brazil enter the four major European leagues every year? But how many people can really make a name for themselves? Even Denilson, who was pinned on by Brazilian fans and considered to be the hope of Brazilian football revival, was disgraced at Real Betis.

The giant team is very good, with high salary, good treatment, high attention, and became famous all over the world in one fell swoop, but behind these benefits, the pressure brought by the giant team is also very huge, not to mention the offensive players, as long as the defensive players have a little leakage, it is likely to be directly into the eighteenth layer of hell, never overborn.

Lucio is not a stupid person, as soon as Ye Qiu said this, he understood what the head coach meant.

Everyone has the heart to join the giants, and everyone knows the good way to join the giants, the key problem is that you have to have enough strength.

"Do you think you're really ready?" Ye Qiu stopped and looked at Lucio.

The Brazilian wanted to nod his head, if someone else asked him, then he must have nodded, because he was confident, but Ye Qiu knew him too well, if Ye Qiu felt that he couldn't do it for the time being, then did he really think he could?

"I don't say much about others, I think that in our team, so far, the only one who has the ability to establish himself in the top league, or even perform well, is Gilberto? Silva. ”

Ye Qiu could see that Lucio's eyes were a little unconvinced, and smiled slightly, "Your personal ability is very good, but don't forget, as a central defender, your defensive awareness still needs to be improved, if you think about your performance in the Eredivisie and the Champions League, you will understand." ”

Lucio has nothing to say at this time, his strongest is one-on-one defense, and back attack, if you only look at it from the level of a central defender, his performance in the Eredivisie is really not as good as Hovland.

"What was my first reaction when I heard that the big teams wanted to hear from you, do you know that?"

Lucio shook his head, "I don't know. ”

"I want to scold to my face, fuck your eggs!" Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Just in front of Heathfield and Ferguson, if it weren't for public, I would really be able to scold it in person." ”

Lucio was a little surprised, because they were all famous European marshals, and he scolded him like this in front of him, what is it?

"I don't understand, they're giants, but what's wrong with the giants? Are the giants amazing? The wealthy can say, I can buy whoever I want, and everyone has to obediently run to the door for me? Why? Just because they are wealthy? I think they're robbers! ”

When Ye Qiu said this, Lucio was a little embarrassed, when he heard that Manchester United and Bayern Munich were interested in him, his first reaction was indeed happy, but now listening to Ye Qiu say this, it seems to make some sense, why should he be happy to join the giants? What is there to be happy about?

"Look at those giants, Barcelona has been killed by us, Liverpool has also fallen down, Bayern Munich has also fallen at our feet, what do they have to be proud of, and what should we be proud of?"

When he said this, Ye Qiu sighed, stepped on the soft sand, and slowly walked a few steps forward, looking at the distant horizon, "I also know very well that everyone, whether it is a player or a coach, is proud to join and take charge of a giant team, but I know one thing better, that is, everyone has their own value." ”

"In my own opinion, before joining the giants, I must first prove my worth, and the way I prove my value is to beat more and stronger giants on the football field, beat them to the heart, let them understand my value, and at that time, the initiative is in my hands!"

Ye Qiu didn't say it, but Lucio heard it, that is, on the other hand, joining a giant club before proving his worth, he may be abandoned by a giant team anytime and anywhere, is there less such a precedent?

"I hope you think about it, now is not the time for you to join the big team, I believe that there is nothing to regret if you miss Bayern Munich and Manchester United, because in the near future, you and I, as well as Ajax, in the Champions League, have defeated strong opponents again and again, and proved their worth again and again, there will be more Bayern Munich, more Manchester United will come to the door."

Ye Qiu pointed at Lucio, "That's the best time for you to really step into a wealthy family!" ”
