Chapter 338: The First Step in Preparing for Training
"In the Asian Cup finals, there were three group stage games, Hong Kong, China defeated Australia and Thailand, and drew with Iraq in the third game, and they accumulated 7 points and qualified as the group leader."
"In the quarterfinals against Vietnam, Hong Kong, China won the game cleanly, and then played South Korea and won 1:0......"
"In the Asian Cup final, relying on the goals of Chen Zhaoji and Zhuo Zhuo, Hong Kong, China defeated Saudi Arabia 2:1 and finally reached the apex of Asian football!"
"When they hear that Hong Kong, China won the championship, I don't know how many fans will feel incredible, it is Hong Kong, China, a team that is the last team in Asia! But after watching this Asian Cup, no one will say that they are the last in Asia! ”
"They have won the highest honor in Asia - the Asian Cup! Competing for the glory of the championship has brought them infinite upward motivation, and all the players of Hong Kong, China, under the leadership of Wan Sheng, have overcome obstacles and defeated strong opponents one by one! ”
"They deserve the glory of the champion!"
"At the moment when Zhuo Zhuo lifted the trophy, the victory belonged to the Hong Kong people and the Hong Kong team, which is a veritable miracle!"
"The 2007 Asian Cup, after 16 teams and 32 games, finally ended in Hong Kong, China, and the Asian Cup also came to a successful end at this moment."
"Here we have to mention Hong Kong's coach Wan Sheng, he is only 30 years old Chinese, at this age most professional players are still in their prime, few people will want to be a football coach, too young will lead to inexperience, but Wan Sheng has been successful in Europe."
"Now that Hong Kong, China has won the Asian Cup, it also proves the success of Wan Sheng in Asian football, and he is still creating miracles!"
"Wan Sheng is just 30 years old, and he has achieved results that most football coaches can only look up to, and we can probably expect it. He will continue to work wonders in European football......"
“…………”
Just when the Asian media were amazed by Hong Kong's victory, surprised by the 'Hong Kong Miracle Night', and surprised by Wan Sheng's achievements, Wan Sheng had already stepped on the plane to Manchester.
It was the second day of Hong Kong's victory.
While the whole Hong Kong team and fans were immersed in the joy of winning the championship, Wan Sheng did not have time to enjoy all this, and he still had a lot of work to do.
Led Hong Kong, China to the Asian Cup. Wan Sheng's contract with the Hong Kong Football Association is over, and he can also put aside the team's affairs and return to Manchester City.
After a nine-hour journey, the plane arrived at Manchester International Airport.
Wansheng and Bergkamp stepped out of the cabin together.
As he walked out of the hatch, Wan Sheng closed his eyes and took a long breath.
"How does it feel to be back in Manchester?" Bergkamp watched with a smile.
"Excellent! It's wonderful! I'm looking forward to it! Wan Sheng said.
Bergkamp asked, "Looking forward to seeing new players?" ”
"Nope." Wan Sheng smiled, "I'm looking forward to coming back here and getting more." More valuable champions! ”
"Haha, it's really your style!"
The two talked and laughed, walked off the plane together, and when they came to the reception hall, many media reporters immediately greeted them.
It is no secret that Wansheng and Bergkamp are back in Manchester, and many British media have received the news, especially the local Manchester media, which they have been looking forward to since yesterday.
For the British sports media. The Asian Cup is nothing at all, but Wansheng's role in coaching Asian teams is different.
There have been many British media outlets saying that Wansheng 'doesn't work seriously'. "It's not enough to coach Manchester City, I still want to coach the national team, and I am busy with the work of both teams, and it is likely that I will not do well", and Wansheng's 'opposition' expressed their opinion, believing that Wansheng will definitely not be able to do a good job in the national team. After being affected, it was difficult for him to continue to lead Manchester City, but the news they learned was, "Wan Sheng has created a Hong Kong miracle in the Asian Cup!" ”
Hong Kong, China!
When it comes to teams with a little strength in Asia, many people can think of Japan and South Korea. In the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, both teams performed quite well, and if you think about it, it will be Australia, because Australia is also a regular in the knockout rounds of the World Cup.
And then what?
Saudi Arabia, Iran, China...... Wait, these teams are less famous in Europe, but no matter how you think about it, you can't think of Hong Kong, China.
Wan Sheng went to coach Hong Kong, China and led the team to win the Asian Cup!
It's a miracle!
"Hong Kong's Asian Cup victory is comparable to the Greek miracle in 2004, which is a legendary myth of winning the championship!" Some British media outlets with knowledge of Asian football say so.
As a result, many media reporters came to the airport to wait for Wan Sheng, hoping that he would express his feelings about the 'Hong Kong miracle' he had just created, and also wanted to interview Manchester City's preparation plan and goals for the new season.
When Wan Sheng walked out of the airport, he was surrounded by many media reporters.
Wan Sheng did not give interviews, and with the help of airport security and club staff who came to pick him up, he pushed the reporters away and then prepared to enter the car prepared on the side of the road with Bergkamp.
Many media reporters followed behind, and when they saw that Wansheng had opened the car door, they all felt helpless.
Although interviewing Wansheng is a difficult job, when I really don't interview that moment, I will always be a little disappointed, and I will be very dissatisfied with this work, and I will also be a little dissatisfied with the interviewees - Wansheng and Bergkamp.
At this moment, Wan Sheng stopped at the car door, and in the puzzled eyes of Bergkamp and many others, he looked at the sky, looked left and right at the road, and then took a deep breath and yelled-
"Manchester, I'm back!"
――――
Back at the club, Bergkamp was still laughing, and the driver didn't laugh, but he knew what the guy was thinking by looking at his expression.
Wan Sheng clenched his fists for a long time, he kept thinking about repairing the next two guys, these two people together, they were by no means his opponents, but in the end, he thought of civilized society, and let them go.
In fact, doing so in front of the airport is just to vent your emotions.
Coaching Hong Kong to play an Asian Cup, there is a lot of pressure along the way to win the championship. After winning the championship, the next day of the busy day, I stepped on the plane back to Manchester, and the emotions such as stress were not vented at all.
Just now, Wan Sheng 'two-forced', but after yelling, he felt very relaxed.
It's a vent.
But in the eyes of others, like Bergkamp. This guy just laughs all the time, and he doesn't understand life at all, and it would be nice to relax once in a while.
"You just don't know what hype is!" Out of the car door, Wan Sheng said thoughtfully.
"That's hype? What is the hype? ”
"Of course!" Wan Sheng said, "No wonder when you play football, there hasn't been much advertising revenue, you don't understand hype at all!" ”
Speaking of this, Wan Sheng suddenly felt that what he said was true, "I was hyping just now." You see so many multimedia reporters waiting for an interview, they didn't get it. It's like running for nothing, and then what will happen to them? Say we're playing big names? Say something else bad about us? So something had to be done. It's like those celebrities will hype up their feelings, they always hook up with this, hook up with that, and then all kinds of media will help them hype, so they became popular. In fact, the meaning is actually the same, what they do is too complicated, and it will also affect their lives. I used it in the simplest way, and there must have been many people in the evening who knew what I had done. I'll be even more famous then. ”
Wan Sheng said, the more he talked, the more he felt reasonable.
Bergkamp rolled his eyes when he listened, "Wan Sheng, I found that you have an advantage. ”
"I have a lot of advantages, which one do you mean?"
"Whatever stupid thing you do, you can make sense. I admire that. ”
“……”
――――
When I returned to the club, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, Wan Sheng sorted out the materials, cleaned up the office a little, and left home to rest. It wasn't until the next morning that he arrived at the training base.
On the training ground, all the Manchester City players lined up.
Among them were veteran players such as Morris and David Silva, as well as new players who had just joined the roster, and everyone stood together and waited for the arrival of the manager.
Finally, a figure was seen at the end of the training ground, and while everyone was waiting for him, Wan Sheng slowly walked over.
He glanced at the team, gave everyone a smile, and then said, "The new season is about to begin!" ”
A lot of the players were in good spirits right away.
In the team, there are several new players, looking at Wansheng with scrutinizing eyes, the old players are very convinced of Wansheng, and the new players are different, they have a great reputation for this, but during the preparation training period, the head coach who is still coaching the Asian team to compete in the Asian Cup may be a little unconvinced.
Wan Sheng's next words were to say to these newcomers, "I know that some of you don't understand me, or you will think that I am young and will not be able to hold people down. But that's okay, we're going to have a formal training session next, I don't care what you think, but everybody has to do what I've asked me to do, and if I can't, I'm sorry, I think it's going to be difficult for you to play in the new season. ”
"Because ......"
"This is my team!"
"My team, I have the final say!"
Wan Sheng always had a gentle smile on his face, but in the eyes of several new players, it was the same as a demon's smile, and they had a definition of this new coach in their hearts-
This is a very domineering guy!
Sure enough, the domineering was revealed, and Wansheng asked each new player to stand up and say their names and introduce themselves.
Although Diamares had already done it once when the whole team assembled, they still had to do it again. In the eyes of everyone, even if they have any dissatisfaction, they can only do it.
Fortunately, the introduction session ended like this, and after that, Wan Sheng ignored the training and returned directly to the office.
――――
"Doesn't he care about training?"
"What is he doing? Do nothing? ”
"So what do we do? Or is it the same as the other day? I feel like Gale is like a manager......"
Martin Petrov, Giovanni Moricio and several other new players are discussing.
It was Darren Bent who reminded them, "You better not think about it, Wan Sheng is the boss of the team, he is the best coach." ”
"You've been training like this before?" Ljungberg, a former Arsenal star, is well acquainted with many of City's players and has a strong say among several newcomers.
Darren Bent said, "Yes, in terms of leading the team, Gale is enough, our training is actually to do what the boss says, only when it comes to tactical training, the boss will come to guide." ”
"The team's tactics...... I'm talking about that constant passing tactic, isn't it all Gayle has been trained in? ”
Ljungberg asked, and Martin Petrov also looked at it, in fact, several players who entered Manchester City were very eager for Manchester City's gorgeous attacking football, but after a few days of collective training, they had not conducted tactical training, and they did not know how tactical training would unfold.
"Gail is only responsible for training." Darren Bent explained, "There was no tactical training because the boss didn't come back, and this needs to be thought through and a detailed training plan before it can begin. ”
Several people nodded understandingly when they heard Darren Bent's words, and then continued their training.
Although they were a little unconvinced by Wansheng, after a few days of training, they all felt the effect of personal physical fitness and physical training. They are noticeably more energetic than before, and their bodies are feeling a little stronger.
Torres, Glenn Johnson and others are most acutely aware of this.
After hearing that the training content came from Wansheng personally, they had some expectations for the next tactical training.
――――
Wan Sheng doesn't know what a few new players think of him, but that doesn't matter at all.
If he had come to Manchester City more than two years ago, he would have had to pay attention to what the players thought of him, and he had to use the means to convince the players of him, but he didn't have to do that now.
The situation is different.
More than two years ago, Wan Sheng just took over the team, there is no foundation in the team, what you want to do, you must let the team cooperate, and now most of the players in the team are very convinced of themselves, only a few new players, even if they are not convinced of themselves, it doesn't matter, as long as they train seriously.
If you don't train hard, as he told the players, his team is not missing any players, they have to work hard to get themselves a chance to play, and he doesn't have to care about anything.
Now his job is to develop a training plan for the fight.
This is the most crucial step of the season.
There is nothing wrong with the team's 'OS-F' control system tactical play, but with some players, some tactical details need to be modified to make the tactics fit the 'new team', and only by doing this all the time can the team play better and better, and not because new players join, the game will get worse and worse.
The main reason for this is also the difference between players and players.
The same strikers, some are good at shooting in the box, some are good at speed; They are also full-backs, some are good at dribbling, some are good at passing; The same defenders, some are good at one-on-one interceptions, some are good at destroying the ball in the air, and so on.
The ability of the players in the same position is different, so after changing some players, it is necessary to make some detailed adjustments to the tactics in order to adapt to the whole team and make the tactics not too flawed. (To be continued.) )
