Chapter 10 Defense, Gentlemen, Defense!
After Chang Sheng has figured out the situation of the whole team, the team's warm-up is over.
The players returned to him and continued to do warm-up exercises while listening to him announce the content of today's training.
Chang Sheng looked at the people in front of him, and he wondered what these people would think if he told them so bluntly that he wanted to change his tactical style, from the original ground push to a physical strength tactic...
But he didn't have time to instill in them slowly, something like "sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently".
Time is what Getafe and him need the most and is the most precious.
He couldn't afford to waste time, not even a single training session. So from now on he will transform the team.
Fortunately, he has experience in correcting the transition of players in the youth team, otherwise he would really be caught blind.
He plans to take the time today to write out the training plan, and then hand it over to the coaching staff for execution.
But now he must start training immediately.
He said to the players: "I'm not a conservative, I just choose the most suitable tactics for the current situation. In my opinion, there is nothing more important for the team than defense at the moment, so in the next week, we We must focus on practicing defense! One-on-one, two-on-two, four-on-four... and even the whole team's defense! Want to win? Don't lose the ball first!"
The players who were warming up all looked up at their new head coach with some surprise.
The coaches of the coaching staff also turned their heads to look at Chang Sheng with surprised eyes.
Getafe ranked second to last among the 22 teams in the number of goals scored this season, and only scored 28 goals in 32 league rounds.
Among them, they have not scored a goal in 16 games.
So whether it's fans, the media, or experts, they all think that the reason Getafe's performance is so bad this season is mainly because of their weak offense.
For defense, no one blamed too much.
At present, Getafe has conceded 44 goals in 33 rounds of the league, which is not the most in La Liga, nor the least, and is at the middle level.
They can't see what's wrong with such a defense, why should they spend a week focusing on practicing.
If you want to avoid relegation, shouldn't you strengthen your offense first? If you score more goals, you will naturally win. What does that have to do with defense?
No matter how good the defense is, if you don't concede a goal, but you can't score, the best result is a draw. If you get ten consecutive draws and accumulate ten points, can you successfully avoid relegation?
Isn't this nonsense?
A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay.
Chang Sheng didn't explain much, but just signaled everyone to train.
Defensive training, this thing, the coaches are very familiar with it, so there is no need for Chang Sheng to say, they all know how to do it, but when preparing for training, everyone has some doubts in their hearts, and they don’t understand why Chang Sheng wastes time on it significance.
Even Manuel Garcia, who has the best impression of Changsheng, feels that Changsheng must have made a mistake.
As for Rudy Gonzalez, who was already unhappy about winning, he directly expressed his disdainful expression on his face.
But he was the hardest in training.
Because he decided that Chang Sheng was wasting time and meaningless by doing so. But since Chang Sheng insists on doing this, of course I have to give full play to the role of assistant coach and cooperate with him seriously and responsibly...
Anyway, it really led to the team's relegation in the end. Everyone saw it. It was Chang Sheng's responsibility, it was his decision, and it had nothing to do with himself.
※※※
Chang Sheng also trained together. With his whistle in his mouth, he stood on the edge of the training area and observed the training. But he only looked at it for a while before he frowned and blew the whistle in his mouth.
whistle sounded,
Means the training is interrupted.
Everyone stopped and looked at the dissatisfied head coach.
What they are doing is defensive training in the zone, mainly in a zone of 20 meters by 20 meters, with four offensive players dribbling and attacking, and then three defensive players defending. There are no restrictions on means and methods on the defensive side, as long as there are no fouls, whether it is tackles, physical confrontation, or stealing the ball around the front...it is fine.
But Chang Sheng was very dissatisfied with the team's performance. Whether it was tackling or physical confrontation, he felt that he lacked hardness. For example, when the defensive player puts a tackle, the offensive player can easily jump up to avoid the tackle, and of course the possession of the ball is gone. Or when the two sides are in a physical confrontation, if the first collision fails to break the ball, the defensive player will give up and let the opponent run past him...
He frowned and called assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez over: "Is this how the team's usual defensive training is?"
Rudy felt baffled: "Yeah, what's the matter? Is there any problem?"
This is how he usually trains, and he doesn't think there is any problem, and he doesn't understand why Chang Sheng wants to stop playing.
Chang Sheng frowned and said, "It's too bad."
"What?" Rudy didn't hear clearly.
"I said it's too bad! This kind of training is too bad! Is this called defensive training?" Dissatisfied, Chang Sheng strode into the training area.
He ordered an offensive player, an offensive midfielder named Francisco Javier Carpio Pineda. It was the person whose eyes were full of disdain when he introduced himself before.
Judging from the previous scan, this is an offensive player with excellent skills, but his physical confrontation ability is not very good. [Strength] is only thirty, [Brave] is also extremely low, only twenty-five, and [Willpower] is not very good, only fifty. But that's it, when the defensive players faced him, they only bumped once and let the opponent pass by.
What is this!
Chang Sheng decided to personally demonstrate to those defenders what "defense" is!
Thanks to the "legacy" left by his brother, he still has the ability to be a professional player.
"You attack, I defend," he said to Pineda.
But Pineda looked at his outfit with some hesitation - suit, shirt, leather shoes... really not suitable for playing football.
Only then did Chang Sheng notice this.
At the beginning, I only wanted to come here to pretend to be cool, and I didn’t want to demonstrate in person. I never thought that the team’s training was like this... He had to demonstrate it, otherwise he would not be able to explain it with his mouth. .
After noticing the other person's eyes turning around his body, Chang Sheng took off the jacket of his suit and threw it out of the training area. Then he rolled up the sleeves of his shirt little by little, and bent over to tie the hems of his trousers inside with socks.
After finishing all this, he hooked his hands at Pineda: "It's all right now."
Pineda still didn't move, with contempt in his eyes - he didn't seem to think that the coach in front of him had any ability to be one-on-one with him.
A smile appeared on the corner of Chang Sheng's mouth: "What? Are you afraid you won't be able to pass me?"
When Pineda heard the head coach say that, he was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted with an angry expression on his face: "No, I just don't want to bully you, coach!"
He is twenty-seven years old, and the head coach looks as old as him. To be honest, he is skeptical about what this new head coach can bring to the team. He is one of those who question and belittle Chang Sheng.
"Are you so sure you can get by with me, Francisco?" Chang Sheng said to Pineda leisurely with his hands on his hips.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Rudy Gonzalez's eyes flickered - he had not introduced these players to Chang Sheng, and he even thought that Chang Sheng should not even recognize these players. But I didn't expect Chang Sheng to call out the name of the player in front of him so easily, as if he was already familiar with it. How did he do it? Could it be that he was busy reciting the names of the players last night without anyone? It can be seen that he doesn't have dark circles... and even if he memorizes the names of all the players, he may not be able to match these names with the faces.
Rudy Gonzalez didn't understand how Chang Sheng was able to call Pineda's name all at once-he didn't know that Chang Sheng's golden pupil scan could directly see the player's name, so what is the player's name? The name is not a problem for Changsheng at all, even if he has never met this person before, he can accurately call him by name after scanning-as long as he is a member of the winning team.
But right now it doesn't matter to Rudy Gonzalez.
He was very curious and wanted to see how Chang Sheng would demonstrate.
There were many people who were as curious as him, and everyone surrounded this small area.
Surrounded by so many people, provoked by the head coach's words, and looking down on Chang Sheng, Pineda felt a little uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth: "This is what you asked for, coach."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Chang Sheng said to him. "Man, man, don't procrastinate like a woman, hurry up if you want to come!"
His words completely angered Pineda, he stopped being polite, pulled the football to his feet, and he was ready to attack.
Ten meters in front of him, Chang Sheng also took a stance and stood ready.
In the previous life, Chang Sheng was a waste who could not play football at all, but in this life, thanks to his brother, he is a professionally trained player! Almost became a professional player.
※※※
Pineda's speed is not fast, but his technique is very good. He has done a good job combining man and ball.
If he wants to rush up to steal the ball, he will probably pass it by using his skills. And Chang Sheng does not intend to steal the ball directly.
He remained motionless in his place.
The distance between the two is gradually shortening. From ten meters to eight meters, to five meters, to three meters, to two meters...
It's close at hand!
Chang Sheng still didn't move.
Pineda didn't know whether the head coach in a suit in front of him should be difficult to deal with, or a pure rookie... He just stood still, ignoring the series of fake moves he made before. This may be a veteran with rich defensive experience, or a rookie who knows nothing.
He doesn't think his coach is an experienced veteran, first of all, they are about the same age, and secondly, he has never heard that his new coach was once a player.
Since Chang Sheng doesn't move, let's go around him directly.
Thinking of this, Pineda didn't even bother to do fake moves, and directly flicked the football to his right, intending to complete the breakthrough.
This is really a simple trick that couldn't be simpler! But it also shows contempt - he didn't take his head coach seriously. He believes that he may not be as good as the coach in terms of training the team and tactical knowledge, but how can the head coach compare with himself in the ability to play in rounds?
But at this moment, Chang Sheng suddenly started, like a lion, pounced on his prey.
He kicked hard with his left leg, and his body hit Pineda.
Bang!
The two bumped into each other firmly.
Pineda leaned to one side, fell to the ground, and naturally lost the football.
Chang Sheng stood on the field, overlooking Pineda from top to bottom.
He said, "You lost, Francisco."
Pineda was hit dizzy and couldn't react for a while. When he heard Chang Sheng's sound, he suddenly realized that he had fallen to the ground. He couldn't help but shouted: "But this It's a foul!"
"This is a reasonable collision!" Chang Sheng pushed back.
Pineda looks to assistant coach Rudy Gonzalez on the sidelines.
Rudy Gonzalez gritted his teeth and said: "It was a reasonable collision...Francisco...he had his arms crossed, not open."
"But how is this possible..." Sitting on the ground, Pineda still couldn't believe that he was just broken by a rookie.
"What's impossible? It's just a matter of using your body reasonably." Chang Sheng patted the right arm that was in contact with Pineda just now with his left hand.
Then he ignored Pineda, but turned to the onlookers and the coaches.
"Remember, this is the defense I want! Be tough! Don't back down! Think about it, what are you fighting for now? You're fighting for relegation, you're fighting for survival, you're fighting for yourself !This is a war! Do you fight in this soft way? Your opponent is not a sissy who is facing the wind! Defense, not only the goal, but also... the hope of relegation and your Glory! If you want to defend it, don't be afraid of physical confrontation! There are still ten rounds of the league, and you are not desperate at this time, do you still want to go to the B group of the second division and work hard again! It's time to fight, guys!"
Chang Sheng's loud voice resounded through the huge training ground, and echoed in everyone's ears and hearts.
