With curly hair with a strong Spanish style, Juanma Lillo's first impression of Yang Hao is that he looks a bit like the Hulk Hulk actor in [The Avengers], Mark Rufager.

Both of them have a very strong collegiate temperament.

Juanma Lillo is also a very cheerful and optimistic person, who has been smiling since they met.

Yang Hao met him in his office, and Parales brought coffee, and the two chatted like this.

The conversation started with Pep Guardiola.

Juanma Lillo said that Guardiola also called him last night and talked to him about it for a long time.

"He spoke highly of your game last night." Juanma Lillo said.

Yang Hao also took this opportunity to change the topic and talked about last night's game.

Lillo felt that Atletico's pressing up front was not good enough throughout the game.

"If the pressing up front was a little bit better, Barcelona wouldn't have conceded four goals last night."

Yang Hao also thought so, but he also said that there was no way to do it.

First of all, it is impossible for him to ask Hasselbaink to press non-stop, which is unrealistic.

The character of the Dutch center forward is reckless if it sounds good, and willful when it is not good, you have to follow him.

If Yang Hao asks him to put more energy into pressing and pressing, not to mention whether Hasselbaink can do it, it is estimated that the Dutch will be provoked, and Yang Hao's work will be even more difficult to carry out at that time.

"I'm not the boss of the locker room right now, and sometimes I don't even talk to me." Yang Hao is very honest.

Juanma Lillo expressed understanding.

Killing decision, Yang Hao wrote a lot of football novels in his previous life, but in fact, he couldn't do it.

It's like Van Gaal, it's enough to kill and decide, right?

The result?

Now not only Rivaldo and the players of the local gang are dissatisfied with him, but even Kluivert's descendants are dissatisfied with him.

Dealing with the locker room is a management problem, and it cannot be solved with a single decision.

You "killed" everyone, who played for you?

Even, they listen to you on the surface, but when they really get on the court, they disobey and collude, what can you do?

Are there still fewer managers who have been killed by the players?

Not to mention Hasselbaink, even if it is Belleron, if he really wants to put more energy into defense and pressing, Yang Hao assured that Belleron will be anxious immediately.

The concubine can't do it!

The way Yang Hao is playing now is actually compromise, and he must compromise.

However, Yang Hao also admitted that he is really not good at training players, and even the Atletico Madrid coaching staff is now lacking experts in this area, which is why he wants Juan Mar Lillo to come over to help him.

This guy's training method is even praised by Guardiola.

Juanma Lillo is naturally aware of this, after all, after meeting with Little Hill before, he has also talked about this issue.

What Yang Hao is looking for is a coach-type assistant coach, that is, to carry out specific affairs such as training, and the head coach will be responsible for coordinating the overall situation in the future.

That's a good fit for him.

……

Yang Hao was very candid about Atletico's situation and the problems he faced, and Juanma Lillo also said a lot about himself, such as the team he coached, and the problems he has faced in the past few teams.

The 4231 tactic that Lillo admires is very interesting, unlike Iruetta, Benitez and others.

What he advocates is pass-and-cut coordination, high-post pressing and fast-paced offense and defense.

Standing in 2000, you certainly can't see anything, but if you stand in 2023 and look back, you will find that Lillo's philosophy is so advanced that it is impossible to achieve it in all the teams he coaches.

The ability and technical characteristics of the players are one thing, but more important is the physical fitness.

Lillo said that whether it is in the lower leagues or in La Liga, including teams like Tenerife, it is difficult to do it, and it is easy to have an embarrassing situation in which players are physically consumed to a certain extent during the game and are beaten by their opponents.

Including the 2-4 against Barcelona.

When their physical fitness is good, they can press Barcelona, but their physical fitness declines, and they are immediately beaten into a sieve by Barcelona.

So much so that later, after discovering this problem, many teams focused on this aspect.

Juanma Lillo even felt that the reason why he didn't get the chance to coach was because he was too passive in this regard, and everyone knew how to beat him when they saw him.

Yang Hao laughed when he heard it, which was indeed very embarrassing.

However, Yang Hao is still very sure of Juanma Lillo's concept, and he believes that with the development of science and technology and the improvement of training level, the physical fitness of players will also improve.

"I don't know if I can achieve it at the current level, but in a few years, it will no longer be uncommon for the team to run more than 10 kilometers per game, and when the time comes, this concept will be realized."

"10 km?" Juanma Lillo was shocked.

With the current slow and leisurely style of play, especially in La Liga, it is quite good to be able to run eight or nine kilometers per person per game.

"Yes, and all season." Yang Hao is very sure.

Because he saw it happen.

Juanma Lillo was scared because he knew very well that an average of eight or nine kilometers per game to an average of 10 kilometers per game may seem like nothing, but if you zoom in to the whole team, it is equivalent to running one more person.

As you can imagine, the whole game is 12 to 11, how much of an advantage does that have to be?

In addition to this, Yang Hao also mentioned Bielsa.

There is a very important part of Bielsa's football philosophy, which is rotation.

To put it simply, the players in the front court take turns to press forward, and the others use this time to rest.

Juanma Lillo has also been aware of Bielsa for a long time, so he has been following the matches of the Argentine national team.

……

When it comes to really in-depth conversations, Yang Hao and Juanma Lillo actually have a lot in common.

For example, they don't like the kind of slow ball control, they like to be fast-paced, they like to pass and cut, and they like to press high up.

Yang Hao believes that the tactical trend in the next few years will be more meticulous, the responsibilities of the players on the field will be more detailed, and the division of labor will be more detailed, which puts forward higher requirements for the head coach and coaching staff.

Not only that, but the pace of attack and defense will get faster and faster.

Llillo immediately captured a key factor in Yang Hao's words, that is, defense.

"Do you think the team will defend more and more in the next few years?"

Yang Hao was stunned at first, and he didn't keep up for a while, but he immediately figured it out.

Why is the pace of offense and defense getting faster and faster?

Because there is a time difference between offense and defense to play.

So why hit the time difference?

Because the opponent's defensive level is very high, once it is in position, it is difficult to break through.

I have to say, Lello's head is turning so fast!

"It's true that more and more managers are adopting Sacchi's defensive philosophy, and in the next few years, the level of defense in Europe's top leagues will be much higher than it is now." Yang Hao said.

Who would have thought that Portuguese Super League side Porto and Ligue 1 side Monaco would meet in the Champions League final?

Who would have thought that Greece would win the European Championship?

These three teams were able to sweep the Europa League thanks to their defence.

Even before the Champions League final in '04, the Champions League final in '03 was the famous "classic" duel between AC Milan and Juventus.

Yang Hao also followed this line of thought and continued to elaborate some of his ideas.

Because he had witnessed it in his previous life, his tone was extraordinarily affirmative, which surprised Lello.

What's more, Yang Hao's logic is very harmonious.

For example, Yang Hao believes that the level of defense will be greatly improved, which will inevitably bring another problem, that is, attacking the fortification.

Once the opponent is in position and the defensive position is organized, how to play?

Yang Hao believes that there are two kinds, one is ball control, which is to pull the defense line by constantly passing and controlling the ball, forcing the opponent's defense line to expose loopholes in the movement.

The other is the lateral and diagonal transfer of long passes.

Needless to say, the whole world knows that this is how the Cosmos Barcelona plays, which requires a lot of passing and possession skills from players, and at the same time, they must also have the means to turn possession into an offensive threat at critical moments.

Messi and Iniesta!

The latter are also uncommon, with the likes of Xavi Alonso, Andrea Pirlo, Paul Scholes and Toni Kroos among the best in the long ball, who can move the ball from a dense area to a loose area in the shortest possible time.

Another is the attacking routine that Barcelona is best at during Rijkaard's tenure, Ronaldinho dribbles the ball inside to the ribs on the left side, and then passes diagonally to Eto'o and the right winger.

And all of this, it's all about transferring.

With the transfer comes another change, the wings will become more and more important, especially the full-backs.

No matter how the tactics change, the middle will always be the most densely defended area, and the most space must be on the wing.

Even if the team with the best defense can juggle the middle and one of the wings, the other side is empty.

Therefore, this shift will inevitably be accompanied by the rise of full-backs.

And it's not full-backs like Carlos and Cafu, it's the kind of full-backs who have a lot of attacking power and playmaking.

……

As a time-traveler, he has a 23-year lead, and at the same time he was a football writer in his previous life, although he is a street fighter, he has also done a lot of homework and consulted countless materials.

In terms of professionalism, Yang Hao is definitely inferior to Juanma Lillo, but in the overall situation, especially in the development trend of technology and tactics, Yang Hao completely killed Lillo with advanced concepts.

Even, many times, his casual words shocked Neng Liliu, and he couldn't even call it impossible.

But after Yang Hao's click, coupled with his own thinking, he immediately realized it.

This suddenly made him look at Yang Hao's eyes and constantly change, and the complex emotions such as shock, admiration, admiration, and curiosity in it became more and more intense, and finally there was an urge to bow his head.

So much so that after the two chatted for an hour or so, when Yang Hao was about to go to the coach's office for a meeting, Juanma Lillo suddenly smiled bitterly.

"I don't know why, but I suddenly felt as if I couldn't coach anymore." The Spaniard smiled wryly.

Yang Hao put his shoulder on the shoulder with a laugh, "It doesn't matter if you don't, I will." ”

The two hated to see each other late.
