Like the United States, football is not the number one sport in Australia.

It's not even a sport that is among the most popular.

One of the most popular in Australia is Australian Rules Football, which is neither rugby nor football, with very special rules, but very popular in Australia.

Everywhere you look, you'll find a big pitch with a circular lawn, and that's the venue for Australian Rules Football.

Rugby is in second place, and the rugby league in Australia is also very developed.

After that, there is cricket, which is supposed to come from India.

Football is at the bottom of the list, even lower than tennis, swimming, cycling and other sports.

Despite this, every time Atletico comes to Australia, they are warmly welcomed by the local fans.

After the team arrived in Melbourne, enthusiastic fans came to meet the airport.

Despite the long journey, Atletico Madrid's players did their best to meet the needs of their enthusiastic fans, taking photos with them or signing autographs for their jerseys.

Until I walked out of the airport and boarded the bus, Atletico was still talking about it.

In particular, several new additions to the team have clearly felt Atletico's influence around the world.

Marcelo is also a very good guy who is very good at livening up the atmosphere, and he said exaggeratedly on the bus: "I haven't even appeared yet, and they can even say my name, it's amazing!" ”

Everyone on the bus was amused by his tone and exaggerated expression.

"You have to get used to this kind of thing!" Ramos coaxed.

"Playing at Atletico Madrid, that's what it looks like!"

The crowd laughed again.

Yang Hao laughed even more, and wanted to complain: Yes, yes, you pee anywhere, and someone stands aside to help you count the seconds, which is so eye-catching!

But he could only endure this, otherwise, Ramos would definitely fight with him.

'The atmosphere in the team is really good at the moment. Pochettino, who was sitting opposite Yang Hao, praised with a smile.

He retired from Espanyol, and after retiring from the game, he took a break for a while, but recently he couldn't bear the loneliness and wanted to become a coach, so he came to Madrid to enrol in a coaching course.

Although he didn't formally propose it, Yang Hao could hear his thoughts, so he took the initiative to invite him to join Atletico Madrid's coaching staff.

Since there is no coaching certificate for the time being, he is with the team and receives a salary, but he is not named.

This can also be regarded as a treatment for Atletico Madrid's retired players.

As Atletico Madrid is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more things like Pochettino, and many players are turning into coaches or working at clubs after retiring.

Of course, Yang Hao said that it must be undergraduated.

For example, Tony Muñoz, Aguilera, Santi Deña and others are now working in the fan service department, and they are all doing very well, specializing in fan service, community promotion, and matchmaking activities with major fan clubs.

After recruiting Pochettino, Yang Hao also specially invited Guardiola into Atletico Madrid's coaching staff, playing a similar role as a consultant.

Inviting Mourinho to coach at Barcelona, Guardiola was somewhat disappointed, after all, he was still influenced by Cruyff, Van Gaal and other coaches in his bones, which is far from Mourinho's philosophy.

This time, he also hopes to learn more things by Yang Hao's side, especially about coaching.

……

Don't look at Atletico Madrid in many ways, but the investment in the players, it is all real.

An authoritative media once conducted an anonymous questionnaire survey of players to evaluate and score the European giants.

Atletico are far ahead.

In the words of some former Atletico Madrid players: Atletico really take care of their players as if they were treasures.

Don't want a player to get hurt?

Atletico Madrid has the best medical and rehabilitation systems in Europe and even in the world, and the laboratories and medical teams are constantly updated to keep up with the world's advanced technologies and equipment.

No matter how expensive it is, as long as you need it, you are willing to invest it.

This has to mention an interesting story that fun people like to see.

In 05, Real Madrid's Valdebebas was completed and put into use, and in 06, affected by the wave of injuries, Real Madrid introduced a large number of instruments and equipment known as the most advanced in the world, and invited Real Madrid TV and Ace newspaper and other media to report.

If you want to say that Real Madrid is promoting themselves, there's nothing wrong with that, right?

However, at that time, the reporter of Real Madrid TV was a little troubled, and he had to work a little hard, not only asking the Real Madrid players what they thought of the new instruments and equipment, full of dissatisfaction, etc., but also asked Joaquín one more question.

Does Atletico have such advanced instruments and equipment?

Joaquin obviously didn't think much about it, and blurted out directly: This set of equipment was still useful in Atletico a few years ago, and then it was eliminated to the youth team......

The atmosphere was so awkward that I heard a crow croaking overhead.

Atletico are well-known in the industry for their emphasis on their players.

Even those players who leave Atletico Madrid can have grievances and grievances, but they all agree on one thing, that is, Atletico Madrid is truly player-centric.

Another typical example is that before each away game, Atletico Madrid will fly to the away stadium to inspect the hotel where they are about to stay to ensure the quality of rest after the arrival of the players.

There are even many hotels that promote the formation of long-term cooperation with Atletico Madrid.

In order to give the team a better experience, Atletico Madrid specially customized 3 of the most luxurious buses, not to mention the home field, every time to the away side, no matter how far away, even if it is like last season's Champions League final held in Athens, Greece, Atletico Madrid's bus will go to the away side in advance to step on the point, familiar with the route.

On social media, you can often see videos posted by fans of Atletico Madrid buses on the road.

There is also a five-star hotel-level service at the training base.

The vast majority of clubs, including Real Madrid, are blowing a blow, at best a little better than other teams, to say a five-star hotel, really when a player has never lived in a five-star hotel?

But what about Atletico?

It may not be as good as a real five-star luxury hotel, but at least the level of service is really high.

A few days ago, there was another lace news.

Some German media complained that Atletico Madrid was reluctant to arrange for Neuer and Tony Kroos to live in a hotel, but let them live in the dormitory of the training base, which means that Atletico Madrid treats German players harshly.

But on the day the news came out, Neuer and Toni Kroos got permission from the club to invite a reporter from Bild who knew each other to come over for an interview, and the two even took the reporter to visit Atletico Madrid's player dormitory in Mahada Hongda.

Another new signing, Marcelo, who lives in the dormitory, also steals the limelight.

In the end, they told Bild that it was not Atletico who refused to let them stay in the hotel, but that they themselves asked not to stay in the hotel.

The reason is that after they stayed in a hotel, they found that living in the training base was more worry-free and comfortable than staying in a hotel.

What you want to eat, the restaurant arranges; If you want to play, the players' recreation room has game consoles, computers and various entertainment equipment; The training base has all kinds of leisure and entertainment facilities......

"We have a lot of players, even after training, they don't leave immediately, we organize some indoor soccer leagues, game competitions and so on within the team, and the prizes are all varied, and everyone likes them very much."

Veteran captain Baraha revealed in an interview.

And after the Bild newspaper was published, all the fans suddenly realized.

In addition to training and matches, Atletico have been trying to create an environment where the players' lives are more enriching.

Even some training is included.

For example, when Yang Hao gave a speech before, many people noticed that Atletico Madrid had always insisted on first aid training for players.

After Atletico Madrid's youth player Gabi went to Zaragoza, he revealed in an interview that he originally had a professional qualification certificate for on-site ambulance, which he obtained after receiving training at Atletico Madrid.

Many of Atletico Madrid's players also participate in various community activities on weekdays, which not only enhances their image, but also strengthens the emotional bond between the club and the community and fans.

Behind all of this is money, real investment, long-term insistence on investment.

The club's dedication and dedication really happens to the experience and feelings of the players, so that they can really feel at ease, and they don't have to worry about anything other than playing.

In addition to these, Atletico Madrid is also very willing every time the team goes out for training.

For example, the hotels where the players stay must be of the highest quality in the region.

The facilities at the training ground must also be the best and most complete.

Previously, in Los Angeles, USA, Atletico Madrid directly chartered the Drake Stadium at UCLA.

This time in Melbourne, Australia, the team directly chartered an entire Australian Rules Football Club stadium directly in the city center.

The Australian Rules Football pitch is circular, and the turf is much larger than the football pitch, so it's not too cool to use for training.

In addition, the stadium is equipped with a gymnasium, equipment room and swimming pool, as well as complete medical facilities.

These are all open to the public on weekdays, and Atletico Madrid has all been contracted.

Except for being expensive, there's nothing wrong with it.

After taking over the stadium, Atletico's daily training, except for the technical and tactical drills at a fixed time, was open to fans for the rest of the time, allowing everyone to enter the stadium stands and watch Atletico Madrid's training.

After each training session, there is also a session for the players and fans to interact.

Media reporters need to apply, but generally speaking, they can get in, but they will be asked some requirements and precautions.

Atletico Madrid's press and public relations department will be responsible for communicating with them, which news and pictures are not suitable for distribution, and they will strictly control them to avoid damage to the image of the club and players.

As for the Atletico players in the stadium, they are training and preparing without distractions.

Before, they hadn't really experienced the horror of Ortega and Pintus, the two training maniacs, after all, Pintus was a newcomer, but this time, the two joined forces, which directly made the Atletico players almost cry.

To use the local Australian media: it is necessary to see the outstanding performance of the Atletico Madrid players on the pitch, as well as the gorgeous football they present.

But at the same time, we must also see the hard work and sweat of Atletico Madrid players behind the unknown.

Without this kind of high-intensity physical reserve training, Atletico's players would not be able to perform unsuccessfully on the pitch.

But even if it is far away in Melbourne, Australia, Atletico Madrid's training is still very scientific, and many training equipment are even specially flown from Europe, all the training links are still indispensable, and the physical detection and monitoring of players are also very strict.

This ensures that players don't get injured as a result of training.

Of course, unexpected injuries are inevitable from time to time, but they are usually a matter of a few days, or a week or two.

……

According to Yang Hao's proposal last year, Atletico Madrid officially launched an initiative in La Liga, and it was also warmly supported by other teams in La Liga, so this time the preseason of La Liga adopted the cup system of sub-divisions for the first time.

The two matches of the Spanish Super Cup were scheduled for Japan and South Korea.

Atletico are travelling north along Australia's east coastline, from Melbourne to Sydney to Brisbane, then to Jakarta in Indonesia, then to Singapore and finally to Bangkok in Thailand.

The other La Liga teams also played friendly matches in the Asian region, including India, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc., and the routes and venues were carefully arranged.

IMG also has a lot of experience in this area, and it also has a good set of business development.

From the current point of view, it will be difficult to make a lot of money in the short term, but the appearance fee is much better than the previous preseason.

At the very least, it can ensure that the team can not only get a high-level warm-up training, but also get a considerable income.

If you turn into a cup competition, you can't just look at the present, but look at the prospects in three or five years, maybe even ten years.

Especially for La Liga.

This year is Atletico Madrid and Valencia to the Asian zone, Barcelona and Real Madrid in the North and South American regions.

Some of the matches were played against local teams, and some were civil battles in La Liga, all of which were carefully selected and considered by IMG, especially for box office appeal.

Atletico Madrid, for example, played two warm-up games in Melbourne, against last season's Australian domestic league double-winners Melbourne Victory, with one warm-up game at the Altatel Stadium in Melbourne's Bay Area.

Atletico Madrid won 3-0.

But the match still attracted 54,000 fans and was packed.

This was the highest attendance ever at Melbourne Victory's home stadium.

Atletico then continued their training camp in Melbourne.

The second warm-up match was played against the Australian national team, and the match was played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

As the name suggests, the pitch is a cricket pitch and can also be used as a venue for Australian Rules Football, and is the largest football stadium in Australia with a staggering 100,000 people.

In the past, it was usually used to host cricket and Australian Rules Football matches, and football matches were rarely held here because there is an Olympic Park stadium next door, which has a smaller capacity than the Telstra Stadium.

Atletico Madrid's match against the Australian national team has received a good response after a long period of warm-up, and it is estimated that the 50,000-person Australian Telecommunications Stadium cannot accommodate it, so it is specially arranged to be held at the cricket stadium, hoping to accommodate more fans.

At the beginning, both the organizers and Atletico Madrid were quite worried about the attendance.

Previously, the Australian national team played a game here, and the largest number of fans entered the stadium was only 85,513, which is already the largest number of spectators in Australia's domestic football game.

The expectations given by the organizers and Atletico Madrid are very low-key, and more than 80,000 people will be considered a pass.

But with the Sheets Army coming to Australia for training, all kinds of warm-up news emerged one after another, and the fans gradually began to be enthusiastic.

Especially after Atletico Madrid defeated Melbourne Victory 3-0, fans are full of expectations for this game.

As of the day before the game, all 97,500 tickets had been sold out, and there were even fans who continued to ask for tickets.

In the end, the organizers had to accommodate all the 4,000 seats that had been cancelled.

As a result, the number of fans attending the game reached a staggering 101,500.

This not only surpassed the Australian national team's attendance record here, but also broke the rugby union's record of 90,000 attendance here.

Second only to the Australian Rules Football Grand Final here, which attracted 120,000 attendees, including some standing tickets.

100,000 people entered, which is an unprecedented event for Australia.

That night, to the cheers of all the fans at the scene, Atletico Madrid bloodied the Australian national team 5-1, which made all the fans who bought tickets to watch it with relish.

And the next morning, almost all the local Australian media and newspapers, were covering the game, all covering Atletico.

With a star-studded cast and a flashy style of play, Atletico Madrid has taken the United States, Japan and the Middle East by storm over the past few years, bringing out Australia's latent passion for football.

The Australian, the most widely circulated newspaper in Australia, published a commentary article arguing that Australia's football enthusiasm was ignited by Atletico Madrid!

The Sheets Army from Europe, with their most gorgeous attacking football, with their radiant superstars, aroused the football desire of Australian fans.

"It's not that we don't like football, we don't like Australian football!"

……

After playing for the Australian national team, Atletico stayed in Melbourne for training.

There are two warm-up games to follow, in Sydney and Brisbane.

But before he set off, Yang Hao needs to deal with some of the tactical problems that the team is facing now.

Manuel Neuer and Petr Cech are two different types of goalkeepers.

Before Neuer, Van der Sar and Petr Cech were both very successful goalkeepers.

Needless to say, Van der Sar is an active goalkeeper in his own right, but after his move to Manchester United, he gradually transformed as he got older, after all, he was too old to bear it.

Petr Cech is adapting to Atletico's technical and tactical style and gradually integrating into the team, but it is still somewhat inadequate.

For example, as many people have said, Cech is not very good at passing and possession, and he is not integrated enough into the game.

But Neuer is actually very different.

Now Neuer is actually very confused.

Yes, it's very apt to describe it as confused.

Don't look at his performance at Schalke 04 last season, but in fact, the German football community still has some ideas and opinions about some of his practices, and even the differences are very big.

The main reason is that Neuer often rushes out of the penalty area during the game, and even if he is in the big penalty area, he often attacks, which is really difficult to accept for a goalkeeper who has always demanded safety.

Especially when Neuer made mistakes, he was criticized and blamed.

In Yang Hao's previous life, why did Neuer play the main team earlier, but his evaluation and reputation are not as good as Leverkusen's Rene Adler, and even lag behind Adler in the national team?

The reason for this is that Neuer is very unstable.

In the description of the German media, it is a nerve knife.

It's a good thing to be able to stop the ball when you suddenly attack, but what if you can't stop it?

Behind you is an empty door.

Another reason is that they are too maverick.

Even Schalke 04's goalkeeper coach Oliver Lake complained to Pedro Harrow in private, and he has never seen such a goalkeeper.

Everyone knows that the goalkeeper is a position that requires a lot of stability.

Gianluigi Buffon, Petr Cech, Iker Casillas, and Van der Sar over the years, why are they so praised?

Because they're stable!

But a goalkeeper who hits all day, and even breaks out of the big penalty area a lot, is hard to accept.

It is conceivable that Neuer has certainly received honors, but he has also received a lot of pressure and criticism in Germany.

Lake repeatedly asked him to be steady and control his impulses, which were the devil.

But Neuer still went his own way.

This led to a huge controversy for him.

The physical fitness is really good, with a height of 1.93 meters, the speed is still very fast, and it is very flexible.

Pedro Harrow also specially showed Yang Hao an edited clip of Neuer's defensive movements, and he told Yang Hao that every time Neuer faced an attacking player, his legs and knees were slightly bent, and his hands were probing backwards.

The tall goalkeeper makes a difficult save because he is tall and slow.

The Italian way of training goalkeepers is to take a step back and then save.

Somewhat useful, but limited.

Neuer's approach is to keep his legs slightly bent at all times and put his hands behind him, so that he can shoot and get off the ground faster.

Combined with his amazing reaction speed, excellent physical fitness and explosiveness, 1.93 meters tall and slender arms, he has a very large range of control.

It can be said that from a goalkeeper's point of view, Neuer really has very, very good physical fitness and athleticism.

His running ability, explosiveness and speed are definitely his magic weapons.

Especially when he rushed out, combined with the burly body of 1.93 meters, the deterrent effect on the offensive players was very amazing.

Of course, the timing of the strike is very important.

Excellent athleticism, so that his foot technique is very good.

Not to mention in the goalkeeper, even with the defender and the midfielder, his footwork is very good, and his passing ability is excellent.

The passing here is not only a big kick and a hand throw, these are the basic skills of the goalkeeper, and he also works very well with his teammates, which can be seen in the training on weekdays.

And he is proficient in both left and right feet.

That's where it gets interesting.

When Van der Sar came to Atletico Madrid, he was no longer young, and Cech was limited by his own characteristics, which led to Atletico Madrid's past style of play, which was a little incompatible in front of Neuer.

For example, Yang Hao told defenders and midfielders to treat Neuer as a fulcrum for receiving.

But many people are not used to it.

In their eyes, the return of the goalkeeper is a last resort.

After a period of in-house training, whether it is Yang Hao, Pep Guardiola, Juanma Lillo or Pochettino, etc., they have discovered a detail that has rarely been noticed.

Or it should be said that even in Yang Hao's previous life, many fans didn't blow their buttocks to the point.

That's his ability to read the game and the movement off the ball that comes with that ability.

Every player will have a passing sector when they are pressed by a defender.

The so-called pressure is actually to narrow the opponent's passing sector.

When the receiver is running, there is a very important consideration, depending on the position of the passer and the presser, to expand the passer's passing sector.

To put it simply, it's easier for teammates to pass the ball.

Whether it can run or not is reflected here.

Many people say that Manuel Neuer is a goalkeeper and in addition to the defensive level, it is vital that he is part of the game and plays part of the system in possession.

Whether it is receiving the ball or playing the ball, it is an important factor to test his ability to read the game.

There is another tactical point that is very easy to overlook, but it is actually crucial, and that is the central defender.

In the tactical system of the past so many years, everyone has emphasized thoroughness, order, and position......

Especially for defenders.

The two centre-backs always have to maintain a very careful position and play well with each other.

Even teams such as Atletico Madrid and Barcelona that focus on passing and controlling, the central defenders often have to maintain a compact position.

Why?

Not to mention the defensive level, at the passing and organizational level, it is to facilitate the passing.

The distance between the two central defenders is extended, the passing distance is longer, and the risk of being tackled is greater?

The importance of the number four position is reflected in the fact that he can come back in time to take on the two centre-backs when necessary.

Therefore, whether it is Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid or Arsenal, the number four position is actually very important.

And it's going to get more and more important.

As an extension of this, when the centre-backs remain in a careful position, the two full-backs are usually limited to one in order to ensure effective coverage of the defence.

Mourinho even insisted that one go up and the other must come back.

Louis van Gaal didn't say he could only play one, but he asked all the full-backs to never overtake the wingers on the pitch.

Why?

These are to ensure that the centre-backs can be protected in a timely manner and that the defensive areas are covered.

What is the most important role of the number four position in tactics?

If necessary, he can sink to the back and the two centre-backs can pull away from the wings.

In this case, the full-backs can press more boldly.

And everyone knows that football tactics, whether offensive or defensive, emphasize a point, in a local area, to form an advantage of playing more and less.

If both full-backs can press at the same time, it means that we can have one more person in front of us than the opposition at any time.

The flexibility of the number four position is here.

The emergence of Neuer will further subvert this pattern.

It used to be a retracement of the number four, but now?

You don't have to retreat in the No. 4 position, you can pull away from the central defender, it's okay, I'll stand behind you.

As long as you need it, send it to me anytime, anywhere, and I'm here.

The goalkeeper comes up and becomes the point of contact between the two central defenders, so that the connection between the central defenders will not be severed.

In other words, the number four position does not need to retreat, and both full-backs can press up.

Isn't there more players up front?

That's a big advantage.

But there are pros and cons to everything.

This requires the goalkeeper to be as close to the defence as possible, to control the space and area behind the defenders, and to be able to actively integrate into the team's passing and possession system when it comes to passing and attacking.

And the risk is also obvious, that is, the German media is now controversial about Neuer, and the defense line is shaky.

Is there a solution?

In Yang Hao's previous life, fans in 2023 know that the answer is to strengthen high-level pressing and oppression.

After the goalkeeper presses forward, the No. 4 position does not need to retreat, and the two fullbacks can be inserted forward at the same time, so there is enough numerical advantage in the frontcourt, whether it is offensive or defensive, it occupies a numerical advantage, which needs to take advantage of this advantage.

It is not possible to let the opponent easily pass through the midfield and transmit the defensive pressure to the back, as in the past.

If the pressure in the midfield is not done well, the opponent easily passes the ball to the backfield and counterattacks, then it is basically over.

It can also be seen from this that this style of play is often only suitable for strong teams with an overall advantage.

You weak team plays like this, let's be finished.

Therefore, in a team like Schalke 04, Neuer will not be able to play to the fullest, and will even be criticized.

But when it comes to a strong team, especially when I have a strong midfield and can exert enough pressure, combined with the corresponding tactical system, Neuer's role will be maximized!

……

There has never been a shortage of tactical geniuses in Atletico's coaching staff.

For example, Juanma Lillo, now Pep Guardiola, and Mauricio Pochettino, some of them are good at thinking, some are good at playing football for many years, and some are good at thinking and playing football for many years......

But when they heard Yang Hao's thoughts, they were all confused.

Before, they were all very strange, why did Yang Hao specify to sign Neuer?

At that time, many people suggested to Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid to sign Buffon.

As long as Atletico hooks his fingers, Buffon will definitely come!

That's the world's No. 1 goalkeeper.

The point is, it's not expensive!

But Yang Hao didn't want to be killed, he wanted Neuer.

It even allowed the team to adopt various strategies and twists and turns when it was operating, which was to ensure the signing of Neuer.

Schalke 04 only needs 10 million euros, that's because they don't know Neuer's tactical value, if they hear Yang Hao's words, know the importance of Neuer to Yang Hao, to Atletico Madrid's tactics in the next few years, they will definitely open their mouths.

Without 40 million euros, you Atletico dare to speak?

'It's an interesting idea, but it's very risky, especially with the players' adaptation. Pochettino was the first to raise his concerns.

He's a centre-back.

As an excellent central defender, he feels that Yang Hao's thinking is also subversive for central defenders, and it will be difficult to adapt to it for a while, and even goalkeeper Neuer may not be able to adapt to it.

"It is equivalent to saying, whether labor and management have a ball or not, I must take the initiative!" Juanma Lillo concluded with a smile.

"The key is to see how much benefit there is, in the midfield and up front, with Atletico's current attacking firepower, I think it can go to the next level, but the players also need to pay more and more active running."

Pep Guardiola is a little worried about Atletico's players, who are now very big.

This is also Guardiola's lack of understanding of Atletico Madrid.

Yang Hao is very confident that no matter how big the name is, it has to be subordinated to the overall tactics of the whole team.

"We all know that over the years, our tactics have always been to separate the defense from the attack, you play whatever position you play, goalkeeper, then you just guard your goal, and other things have nothing to do with you."

'Van der Sar was a bit of an early adopter, leading and directing the backline while also being actively involved in the team's passing, but Louis van Gaal's Ajax was a flash in the pan.

"After that, Van der Sar went to Serie A and didn't play, he got older and the style of play had to change."

'We all know that there are a lot of goalkeepers who have good footwork who are too conservative or are under pressure from the manager and are always on the goal line and in the box.

"We all know that there are many goalkeepers who like to attack and dare to attack, but they don't have enough hard power, technical skills, and maybe even poor timing judgment, which makes them at a loss in the game."

"But now, I think the time is right!"

A goalkeeper like Manuel Neuer has never been unique.

The world is so big, there are so many football practitioners, even goalkeepers, there will be many goalkeepers like Neuer.

But he's a jack of things.

In Yang Hao's previous life, he just caught up with that era.

Now, he "just happened" to meet Yang Hao.

"You're betting a bit big." Guardiola shook his head and smiled.

"If you press in the frontcourt, as long as the players cooperate and with the strength of Juanma, I believe it will not be a problem to organize."

"The key is to see the player's understanding and execution, as well as the degree of tacit understanding."

Juanma Lillo and Pochettino both nodded in agreement.

"If it happens, you'll open up a whole new era, a new world that all football coaches in the world will look up to, but if you lose, you'll probably be finished!"

In the end, Guardiola couldn't help but laugh.

But in the smile, there is an indescribable envy.

He is also a person who likes and is very good at thinking, so he is particularly envious that Yang Hao can have such an opportunity to try, take risks, and verify his thoughts.

At least not like him, who now wants to find a test field, but he doesn't have such an opportunity.

Of course, the main reason is that he does not have a relatively mature tactical system yet.

Especially when he saw Yang Hao adjusting and reforming again and again, and even planning to subvert the goalkeeper this time, it made him feel a huge pressure.

He has to keep catching up, and one day, he feels that he can catch up and surpass Yang Hao, and perhaps, he will want to coach alone.

"I'm mentally prepared." Yang Hao said with a smile.

"I can use a season or two to hone the system and help the players adapt and fit in."

As the top coach in European football at the moment, Yang Hao has this confidence, even if he can't win the championship in a year or two, no one will question him.

What's more, with Atletico Madrid's current strength, it is difficult to prevent Atletico from winning the championship!

……

When Yang Hao decided on the tactical idea, Juanma Lillo and the coaching staff immediately began to study and split the task.

This includes adjusting the next training program.

Yang Hao's main task is to communicate with the players and instill the latest tactical ideas to them.

Especially Neuer.

The German goalkeeper didn't have much idea about joining Atletico Madrid before, and even speculated whether Atletico Madrid was picking the door, and he was reluctant to spend money to buy those better goalkeepers, so he came to buy himself?

But after listening to Yang Hao's words, he had to admit that Yang Hao's understanding of him may even be far above himself.

In particular, the future he sketched out for Neuer was something that the German goalkeeper had not had before, or even dared not imagine.

Growing up, his coach told him that the goalkeeper's job was to keep the goal.

Every time he attacked, every time he rushed out of the penalty area, every time he stopped the ball and dribbled the ball, his coach would reprimand him and tell him that the most important thing for a goalkeeper is to be stable, don't play with fire, and pass quickly.

Even, when he played the main team in Schalke 04, there are still many such voices.

So much so that he sometimes wonders if he is doing the right thing or not?

Now, Yang Hao told him that Atletico Madrid wanted to build a new tactical system around his characteristics, and to change the team's defensive and passing system, which made Neuer a little unbelievable.

But Yang Hao's requirements for him are not complicated, he still runs, receives, and passes, but he used to do it in the big penalty area, and now he can rush out of the big penalty area at any time and get closer to the back line.

In addition, he needs to put more thought into it, such as how to move the ball to the weak side, how to accurately pass long passes to teammates in front of him, when to attack, when to retreat, and how to communicate with teammates......

All of this is not only subverting Atletico's tactical system, but also subverting Neuer's perception of goalkeepers.

"Frankly, I don't know if I'll be able to do a good job or meet your requirements."

Neuer looked at Yang Hao with a wry smile, and he felt trust in Yang Hao's eyes.

A trust that has never been seen before.

It's like, Yang Hao is more sure than himself, he can do it!

This gave Neuer an urge to die for his confidant.

"But I can promise, boss, I will do my best, I will do whatever you ask me to do, I will do what you say!"

After finishing speaking, Neuer's whole person also breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

He felt as if his whole body was relaxed, and it was as if his whole body had suddenly become brighter.

He was now beginning to understand what he was going to do next, and what he was going to do.

The confusion of the past was swept away, and he began to see the road ahead.

Many people may not believe it, but Neuer really feels that Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid are really a very amazing team, even though he has only been in the company for less than a month.

But looking back and Schalke 04 again, Neuer found that he couldn't go back.

Or rather, he didn't want to go back.

Even if Yang Hao's plan fails in the end, he wants to break through!

This chapter has been written for a long time, and it has killed a lot of my brain cells, and it has been deleted and changed a lot, but I still think that everyone may want to scold my mother when you see it, but I still want to write it, otherwise I always feel incomplete, as if everyone knows that the doorman Neuer is awesome, but why is it awesome? Of course, this is also some of my own understanding and thinking, not necessarily right, everyone is welcome to criticize and point! Bye, thanks, blah!!
