After arriving in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, Zhuang Mingge rented a car directly at the airport and drove to Guferen's villa on the outskirts of Amsterdam, according to the address Basten had told him earlier.

Will Guferen, who played for Laped as a player, captained the Dutch league in 1955–56. After retiring as a player, he became a full-time head coach and successively coached teams such as JC Rodda, Sparta Rotterdam, Nijmegen and Feyenoord.

Guferen's greatest honour as coach was leading Feyenoord to the Dutch League and European Cup Winners' Cup in 1973-74. Gufren's playing career or managerial resume is not brilliant or even lackluster, and even many veteran Dutch fans have not heard of his name.

Guferen's greatest hobby is reading all kinds of sports books and articles, and then transferring the knowledge he has learned from books to the field of football as much as possible. Gufren was a scheming man and a deep city, and during his time at Nijmegan, the players often bet on darts and billiards. Guferen didn't know how to play when he first came to the club, so he spent four months in private, secretly practicing darts and billiards, without revealing a single word. After practicing well, he won several players in a row, which impressed everyone, and his profundity can be seen.

In the seventies, Guffren created a systematic training method called the Coerver Methods (CM). It is a specialized training method for players in dribbling, ball nature, ball sense and individual combat. From 5 to 18 years old, players of different ages have different training specialities. In addition to the ball sense, such as turning, unloading methods, etc., are also the content of the CM tutorial. The most important part is the one-on-one individual combat ability, which not only includes passing feints, but also focuses on details such as receiving, heading, confrontation style, breakthrough direction, personal positioning, etc. Training is systematized by age group, and each movement has strict rules. This tutorial is a great help in developing young players. When Gufren was coaching at Nijmegen, the famous Dutch players Jean Peters and Franz Tyson were trained through such training sessions.

The aim of the Gufren Tutorial is to develop players with superior individual ability, in more popular terms, "the ability to decide the game in an instant", and Gufren believes that such players can be trained through systematic training. At the same time, Guferen believes that the sense of the ball and the nature of the ball are supreme, "when people control the ball, they control the opponent, and thus control the game". He asked the trainees to only practice jishu and not tactics in the first few years of contact with football. Wait until you have almost mastered the basics, and then start instilling tactical ideas. Guferen claims that geniuses like Cruyff, Basten, Ronaldinho would have a better chance of being produced if they were in the environment of CM. Even if Tian'e can't reach this detachment, through the training of this set of tutorials, personal ability can be greatly improved.

CM courses are widely spread in the Shijie area, but they are not widely recognized in the Netherlands itself, and not many people even know the term "CM". Some well-known clubs in the Netherlands, such as PSV Eindhoven and Ajax, have also used CM training courses, but only for individual coaches. For the Dutch, who admired the "Michels" school of attack, the "Guferen Course" was a foreign concept to them.

Also in the seventies, Michels and Cruyff co-created the world-famous "all-attack, all-defending" style of play. The Dutchman's unique football tactics have attracted the attention of the world, and they have called it the "third football revolution". Since then, "all-attacking and all-defending" has become synonymous with Dutch football, and Michels's "tactical flow" has become a symbol of Dutch football.

For more than 20 years, the relationship between the Jishu stream advocated by Guferen and the tactical stream of Michels, as well as the social status of the two, has influenced the development of Dutch football.

The "tactical stream" led by Michels is sacred in the Netherlands, with their emphasis on formation, awareness, tactics, team spirit. They believe that with these things, the team can be invincible. Players have been training for running positions since childhood, and too many fancy jishu displays will be considered a violation of the "simplicity first principle" and will be banned by the coach.

Michels' view of the player's personal jishu is that everything is learned through games, and the more games you play, the better your jishu will master. There is no special guidance for the individual jishu of the average player, because most of the coaches themselves do not know how to do it. Their view of the basic jishu is: "Whether it's one-on-one, or four-on-four." Just throw the ball in the middle and the players will learn to pass on their own. ”

But in the youth system, this idea is extremely wrong: a haode dribble or header, like an Arabic numeral, like a seven, can only be learned if you teach him. But let him explore and discover the pattern of Arabic numerals on his own, no matter how clever he is, it will be very difficult.

On the contrary, the "jishu stream" led by Gu Furen believes that the individual jishu is the foundation, and the others are secondary. Tactics can be talked about only after mastering Liang haodejishu.

The completely different views of Guferen and Michels have made Dutch football similar to the "battle of swords" of the Huashan faction described in Jin Yong's "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Due to the sacred status of Michels and Kfenif in the Netherlands, the "Air Sect" tightly controlled the Dutch Football Association for nearly 30 years, and at the same time adopted an attitude of rejection and attack on the "Sword Sect" of Guferen. Therefore, in the Netherlands, Guferen's training courses have no room for survival, and can only be circulated among the people. As a result, many Dutch people now don't know about the "Guferen Tutorial"

exists.

In the nearly 30-year confrontation, the two sides have accused each other, and the collision of you and me is indispensable. And the Dutch Football Association's point of view is that CM just turns and smashes the ball, which is the evolution of street football, and it is a useless little trick.

Therefore, although the Dutch Football Association has not explicitly banned it, it is discarding it in disguise: in the various football textbooks officially published by the Netherlands, the words "Guferen Tutorial" never appear, and it is directly regarded as if it does not exist. And Gufren also pointed out sharply: the Dutch Football Association rejects CM because none of them can master the system. Gufren once said: "Weishenme Michels rejected CM? Because he himself can't even pass a cow! ”

In 1985, Michels was commissioned by the Dutch Football Association to recruit people to compile a Dutch football curriculum. Incredibly, there is no part of the tutorial for individual jishu training.

……

In a secluded villa in Amsterdam, Zhuang Mingge met for the first time this old man who had been ostracized in the Netherlands.

Compared with Michels, who has the domineering spirit of a king, the 70-year-old Guferen looks more like a university professor. No matter what topic Zhuang Mingge talks to him, Zuihou will always be taken to football by him.

Zhuang Mingge felt as if he had returned to his previous life, listening to the lectures of those old professors in the university.

It had been a long time since Guffren had listened to his speech so "seriously", and he said with great interest: "I think that players with strong individual qualities play a decisive role in the game. The reason why this old guy Michels was able to succeed. It is precisely because he has such talents as Cruyff and Van Basten...... Once you have players like that, it doesn't matter what formation you use. Cruyff has always emphasised 'simplicity' now, but he has forgotten that many of his successes with Ajax and the Dutch national team are precisely due to his own superior individual ability......"

Zhuang Mingge peeked at his watch and found that the old man had been talking for two hours, and for the "purpose" of his trip, Zhuang Mingge had to interrupt the old man's speech.

"Well, Mr. Guferen, we came to you this time because we have a very talented young player in our team, and I would like to ask you to be his full-time coach and use your theory to develop him into a football superstar."
