Chapter 167: Simple and Complex (41/136)

The contact between Chang Sheng and Mendes was very pleasant, Mendes felt like he had a thick thigh, and Chang Sheng was happy that he finally had an agent who was not looking for trouble. ////

If all agents were like Mendez and played the after-sales service card, then the world would be much more harmonious.

Many agents only suck blood from the players, but never care about the players and the team.

These brokers make Changsheng disgusting to the entire team of brokers.

Of course, he knows what Mendes will be like in the future, but at least for now, the Portuguese agent, who has not yet become famous, is very serious about his players and team.

Mendes, on the other hand, feels that he has left a good impression on Chang Sheng, and will continue to promote his players to Chang Sheng in the future.

However, if Chang Sheng knew Mendes' true thoughts, he was afraid that he would cry and laugh.

Will a time-traveler need to improve their team by buying a large number of players from an agent?

Mendes, who had this idea, seemed destined to be disappointed......

※※※

At the end of July, the players who had participated in the World Cup returned to the squad and Valencia's squad was finally in order. However, the team's training is still not working as normal because the players who have just returned to the team need to do physical training.

But if they follow the normal training routine...... Chang Win and can't afford to delay time.

Although the tactics have not changed, the formation has changed, and the players need to readjust to each other's positions, which will cause a delay in time.

This time is often won and cannot be delayed.

This season's situation in Valencia is different from last season, where all of the time was spent on the training pitch except for the airport warm-up matches. It can be said that Valencia has a man who has a lot of time to prepare.

And now, on the one hand, it has been affected by the World Cup, and the preparation time has been compressed. On the other hand, as league champions, there are two Spanish Super Cups to play before the start of the new season.

This will lead to less preparation time and hasty preparation for the team.

And at this time, the most important thing to win is time.

Strength and conditioning coach Dominic is adamantly opposed to compressing the time for physical reserve training, because compressing the physical training time at this time will affect the physical reserve of the whole team, and the team may collapse due to lack of physical fitness in the middle of the season or at the end of the season.

However, if they had to continue their physical training as originally planned, Valencia would not have had time to train tactics and hone in on the team.

If it is another coach, I am afraid that in the face of such a situation, I can only sacrifice one head and choose the other head.

But this matter has made Chang Sheng stand up, and it is not a big deal.

Because he has training skills!

The training skills that Chang Sheng gained at the end of the season were useless, and now they can all be smashed.

On one side is [Secondary Physical and Strength Training] and [Secondary Aerobic Training], and on the other side is [Primary Tactical Training] and [Primary Offensive Training].

Changsheng's inventory is used. In order to maximize the players' ability to not only train physically, but also not delay tactical training.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, he just agreed to Dominic's plan and continued to insist on physical training.

No one knows what Wins is doing behind the scenes, but the role of skill will always be revealed after the league starts.

That's where the system comes in.

After the physical training period, the team was engaged in an intense tactical training phase.

Prior to this stage, Chang Sheng further elaborated his tactics to the whole team, but not alone, but him and Pep Guardiola.

He talked about the big ones, and the specifics were all Guardiola was responsible.

The two of them tried to explain as much as possible, because although many of the players are old players, there are also four new players.

The tactics are still mad dogs, but the formation is different, from the previous 4231 to 433.

This change surprised everyone.

After Mendieta and Aimar left, the players had a private chat about how the team would fill the void in those two positions.

But he didn't expect Chang Sheng to want to fill it at all, he directly changed the formation!

Pep Guardiola's appearance as a coach in tactical lessons came as no surprise to the Valencia players.

Now injured, Guardiola is unable to train with the team, and has devoted all his energy to coaching. He was quite well prepared for this tactical class, combined with charts, drawings and video clips, he gave you a detailed description of how to play the mad dog tactics of 433.

433 is the formation that Barcelona has always insisted on, and Guardiola knows more about this aspect than he always wins, so it is naturally more detailed, more in-depth, and easier for the players to understand.

But first, I have to let Chang Sheng make a high-level speech to tell everyone what his mad dog tactics are.

In fact, many people in the Valencia team know that they have been playing this kind of football for a season. But there are always new players, in order to take care of them, and at the same time to deepen the understanding of tactics of old players, Chang Sheng still has to explain to everyone what a "mad dog" is.

The first sentence he said about tactics made Guardiola look sideways, because he said something that was familiar to Guardiola.

"It's easy to play football, but it's hard to play simple football," he said. ”

Pep Guardiola has heard this sentence, and although the specific words are different, the meaning is exactly the same.

This sentence was once used by his mentor, John. Cruyff spoke it. I didn't expect Chang Sheng to say the same, which surprised Guardiola. But he somewhat understood why Tsuneki chose Tiki-Taka, because there was some resonance of tactical thinking between him and Cruyff.

"Last season, a lot of media used to say that our mad dog tactics were very simple, nothing unusual, nothing more than passing. Yes, our tactics seem simple, just keep running, passing and responding, but I think you all know how difficult it is to play so easily. Valencia's training intensity and duration are among the best in the first division. ”

"But don't think we pass a lot, so we should pass more. This is the wrong idea. Remember, we have a lot of passes to get us goals, not to brush our pass success rates. We chose passing as a basic means of controlling the ball simply because it was simple. Since you became a player, you have been trained on the first day of passing, and you have been practicing until now, and you are still practicing passing. This is the most basic action, and using this basic action to achieve a lot of goals that seem to be advanced, and that's what simplicity means. ”

"But for the sake of simplicity, and in turn we need to master the most complex techniques, and only then will things be simple. Just like our goal, a lot of media said Valencia's forwards were the happiest because they just had to run to the right spot and then they could easily get up and score. But the media who said these words did not see the dizzying series of preceding the team as a whole, and it was not a simple pass-and-run coordination. I think you all know what we need to do in order to score a goal that seems simple. Many, many, back and forth, observation before passing, movement after passing, passing between two or three people, and then expanding to eleven people...... Is it simple? It's just too complicated! In order to make complex things simple, we need to put in more effort than ordinary people in training. Every drop of sweat that is spilled on the training ground, when it comes together, will be the reason why we were able to win the championship. Why is the league title ours and not any other team's? Because we train harder than they do! ”

'Last season's success may have led some people to think differently and I've heard something like that. They complimented us on how good our football was and it was dazzling. But I would like to remind you here. This is wrong. The mad dog tactic is not a tactic that exists to please the fans, but to win! ”

When Guardiola heard this, he glanced at Chang Sheng.

However, after only one glance, he quickly withdrew his gaze and looked down at the materials he had prepared, which he would use to analyze the tactics of the players in detail.

"No matter what tactics you play, the most important thing is not to lose. This is what I ask of you. Whether it's a veteran player or a new signing, you have to remember this. Football that can't be won means nothing in my eyes! You can criticize me for being utilitarian, but I don't think any of you like to fail, right? ”

"Looks like you don't like to fail, that's good. My team is a team that wants to win and the players who play here have to be aware of that. ”

"The reason why we gave up on the 4231 that you have been playing for a season is because in the eyes of our coaching staff, the 433 formation system can give every player with the ball more passing options. When the ball is at your feet, pass it to the nearest teammate and run to catch it. In the game, it's simple to keep this rhythm - pass and run to catch the ball, and then pass and run to catch the ball. Theoretically, the 433 formation optimizes the distance between the players and thus ensures that you follow the philosophy of the whole short-pass football, which is better than the 4231. The coaching staff have made a new training schedule for the new formation and I'm sure you'll love it as soon as you start training. ”

After Chang Sheng explained why he had to change the formation, it was Pep Guardiola's turn to come on.

Pep Guardiola began to seriously analyze with everyone how to play the mad dog tactics under the new formation.

Valencia's players are accustomed to Pep Guardiola's coaching and talking to them about tactics.

Chang Sheng sat quietly on the sidelines, occasionally observing Pep Guardiola, and he noticed that the Barcelona man was getting more and more like he would be when he was in charge of Barcelona. Although he still looks relatively immature now, at the same time, his expression and habitual movements really have the demeanor of the head coach of the Universe team in the future.

Such an excellent coach is now his assistant, explaining tactics for himself......

Chang Sheng felt a sense of accomplishment. (To be continued.)
