"Lorenzo, you take the players to train." Li Bin said hello to Esposito and walked to the sidelines, "Interview? ”

Li Siman, who was standing on the sidelines, shook his head and waved his hand to him, "I'm just here to see the training, you can go by yourself." ”

Li Bin nodded, he remembered that he had indeed told Li Siman that he could come to the training at any time, so he turned his head and walked to the court without saying a word, while Li Siman stood on the sidelines, watching the training on the court, and also in his notebook, and continued to remember.

"It's a training session in Parma that I observed, and I want to help people understand football better by recording the content of the real training sessions. In Parma, football training is generally open to the public on Mondays and Tuesdays, but of course, adults over the age of 14 need to buy tickets, which is a European practice, and it is said that the money from the tickets will go into the production of the jerseys to give back to the fans. ”

"But generally speaking, on Monday because the game has just ended, there is no very interesting training, and sometimes, because of excessive fatigue, you don't even train at all, and you organize scouting materials. And Tuesday is the time for the team to do high-intensity physical training, hurdles, rope ladders, jumping boxes...... Although these professional equipment may look interesting, high-intensity super-isometric training is really nothing to look at, and no one likes to watch a group of people work on muscles. On other days, it is not open to the public because it is more about tactics. However, I had the pleasure of visiting a small competition drill session on Friday, which allowed me to have more information. ”

"Training started at 10:30 a.m. and the players arrived about 15 minutes early, which of course means generally, at least today I noticed that Tacchinadi and Cannavaro Jr. were a little bit early, while Kluivert was 15 minutes late. It seems that the coaching staff did not punish him, because it was a first offense, and it is not easy to blame. During the training, there were a total of 25 players training together, and I observed that there were three colors of jerseys in the field, but I don't know what kind of arrangement was made for Lu Dao. ”

"The first step in training is to warm up – Parma warms up with a quirky gymnastics set and accompanied by music. Coaches say that the warm-up is to maximize the stretch and stretch of the muscles and ligaments around the hip and knee joints to improve flexibility. Gymnastics accompanied by music can better cultivate the player's sense of rhythm, compared to simple jogging, jumping, squatting, and leg lifting, it can make the players more interested - it is said that this is the experience of Brazil, the habit of Brazilian football is to warm up with samba before the game, and in Europe, people do not have similar dances, so they use gymnastics, or free jogging instead. Some coaches prefer a more casual free jog, but Parma prefers to use gymnastics. ”

"After the warm-up, it is to stretch the muscles, which is also part of the preparation activities, and there is a picture of Vieri helping Inzaghi press his legs, which caused a lot of misunderstandings, which should be from this part of the training. The first two steps are to prevent injury, that is, they are done every day. ”

"The warm-up was about 20 minutes in total, and then the team worked in groups. The more special thing is the goalkeeper, who is led by the coach for one-on-one coaching, which is separate from the training of other players, and occupies a training ground alone. The rest of the players are working in groups, depending on their position and focus. ”

"Because Parma's key player at the moment, and the biggest player, is Rui Costa, so I'm more focused on their passing training. Parma trains their midfielders with a lot of intensity, and this time, I understand the meaning of the three colours. On the training ground, six midfielders wore red, ten defenders wore blue, and four forwards wore yellow. When the whistle blows, all the red players have to do is pass the ball to the yellow players under high pressure. The 20-man pitch, only 40 yards long and 30 yards wide, was almost crowded, and it was extremely difficult to get the ball out every time – also to train the midfielders on their ability to pass the ball to the strikers under pressure. ”

"Obviously, it's not something that anyone can do. Although the forwards are constantly running, the small field and the large number of defenders still make it more difficult. Rui Costa did the best job in this part of the training, but he couldn't achieve a high success rate, obviously, this training is not easy. ”

"Because the high-confrontation training didn't last long, they followed with ball control and passing and transfer training. This time, a court was blocked into four pieces in the shape of a cross with obstacles, and there were a total of 20 people on the field, divided into two groups, each distributed on four pieces of ground to fight, and each small field was formed in a three-on-two situation. The training requires as much control as possible, but on each small field, no more than four consecutive passes are allowed, and each person passes the ball at most twice, and the ball must be transferred to another square. This is to practice ball control and transfer. Coach Li Bin opposes too many sticky balls and too many unnecessary backwards, but he hates players who have no skills. ”

"As for the forwards, passing is not the key item of their training, when Rossi is training, the passing project is trained with the midfielder, and the other forwards, because Coach Li Bin requires them to have the ability to organize and respond, so their training method, in the running around the pile, to meet the pass of the midfielder who runs parallel to him, not allowed to dribble the ball, with one touch of the ball, to return the ball to the midfielder. It seemed to be quite difficult, Matri did it badly, Milito struggled a little, but Kluivert, who had a mediocre training attitude, did it quite cleanly. Coaches say Kluivert is the only man since Van Basten who has mastered all the technical requirements of a Dutch striker, and it seems to be true. ”

"As for the passing of defenders, it's a different way to practice. This time, it was 16 players with two teams standing in the square of the pitch, and four yellow defenders standing in four directions. The task of the defenders is simple, pass the ball to their nearest player, or to another player in yellow. The players in the middle are grabbing the ball, and after grabbing the ball, they must also pass it back to the yellow defender as soon as possible. Because defenders don't need to pass the ball under too much pressure, more often than not, they need to practice short-distance balls, and second-class long-range passes that launch quick counter-attacks, so their passing training is very different from the requirements of the midfield. This kind of training allows them to make short passes, already over the crowd, looking for teammates in the distance. ”

"Obviously, Li Bin is a person who attaches great importance to the training of defenders, and the defenders are training to grab the ball after passing training. On the field, there is a small box in which five players stand, each with a ball at their feet. The team's two centre-backs and three midfielders are all standing outside the frame, each with two obstacle cones in front of them. Every time the whistle blows, they accelerate around the cone and run into the circle, where five men work together to try to grab as many balls as possible. But they usually only have ten seconds, and after ten seconds, they will walk out of the circle and prepare to grab again. ”

"Because of the limited time, they don't seem to be able to grab all five balls every time, according to observations, Rossi, Rui Costa, Arshavin in the circle have better ball control and less time to concede the ball, but Kluivert seems to be absent-minded, and Milito's ball control skills are not very fine, and he is the first to concede the ball every time. And outside the circle, Melo's temper is obviously not very good, every time he doesn't grab it, he will curse foul language, and Cannavaro Jr. has been trying to appease him, but the effect is not good. Tacinadi is constantly trying to make some tactical deployments according to the position of several people, and Yaya Toure and Agg have been discussing it with him. Interestingly, Agger doesn't speak Italian and Yaya Toure speaks very poor, so they choose to communicate in French. ”

"You can see that Tacchinadi's prestige is very high, he has been arranging the defense, while Aager has his own ideas and is always giving advice. Yaya Toure has a good understanding, no matter what tactics he says, he can understand them, but it seems that he doesn't like to think about it carefully, and he hasn't put forward too many opinions. Cannavaro Jr. and Melo were nodding their heads all the time, but they couldn't help much. ”

The purpose of this kind of training is to enhance the ability of the defensive players to work together, and it seems that several defensive players are indeed constantly discussing and improving in this short training session every 10 seconds. ”

"In addition, after I consulted, I learned that these training methods are the experience of coach Mauro Tasotti - this coach is now the assistant coach of AC Milan, as a defender during the Milan dynasty, he has a lot of experience in defense, and on how to build the back line and guard training, it is his coaching qualification exam paper (I personally think that such a person writing defensive tactics essay is cheating), and now, in Milan, he is also responsible for the team's defensive training, Even Ancelotti can't talk about this. ”

"It's going to be a big improvement for them, but it's hard to say right or wrong for a team to be right or wrong about whether to do so much defensively. It is said that at Arsenal, Coach Wenger hardly arranges defensive training, while at Parma, he puts so much emphasis on defensive training, which also confuses me about which line of thought is right. ”

"From these trainings, we can see that the training of professional football teams is really very targeted. Their training is not simply to kick the ball, it is over after a lot of fun, and each of their training projects is a special reinforcement training for their respective positions. Different positions, different roles, all training is different, which is far from being found in amateur football. ”

"After noon, the players stopped fighting in groups and then had a simple strength training. Because it was just a simple training, I didn't use training equipment such as Swiss balls, but simply performed sit-ups, push-ups, and neck and arm flexion and extension. Because it wasn't Tuesday, the day of the Force Strength Training Day, there were no high-load training sessions such as squats. ”

"That's it for the morning training. In July in Italy, the temperature is very high at noon, so the training will stop at this time, and at 5 o'clock in the evening, there will be a second round of training, at that time, it will mainly be a five-on-five three-goal training match, and a nine-on-nine three-goal match. That's pretty much how it was done on Friday. ”

"Football training is not as simple as you think, it's a complicated and fun process. A lot of seemingly simple training, but the tactical thinking behind it is very profound. ”

"It's not the right time to come today, and I didn't see them doing one-on-one, two-on-two drills. And, because I wasn't part of the coaching staff after all, their tactical training didn't allow me to visit. However, I also talked to them about coming over next time, when it's Wednesday, to watch their one-on-one training sessions. At that point, I'll have more to gain. I'm sure the training at that time will be fun. ”
