Chapter 1038 Losing is normal, winning is abnormal
Although Yang Huan was unable to accompany the team in Barcelona for too long because he had a lot of things to do, he was still taking the time to accompany the team for three days and participated in the team's training throughout the whole process.
Moreover, during these three days, he had in-depth exchanges with four foreign players, many local players, and employees of some important positions in the club.
He could see that everyone's impression of Pochettino was quite good. Although they were not as impressed as the legendary, they at least did not resist and would not cause trouble for the head coach. Many players even believed that the head coach who volunteered to be a tour guide of the team, led a group to visit Barcelona, and even had sex, so he pulled the players to take selfies. He was actually quite a good person.
As for the four foreign players, they may have communicated with Pochettino, and they are all from European professional football, so they all support Pochettino and said that they will fully cooperate with the Argentine coach.
What Yang Huan learned over the past three days shows that Pochettino's start in Guoen, the capital was still very good.
However, the real hard days were after Young Master Huan left.
According to Pochettino's training plan, the main training items in the past few days have been mainly adjusted.
After all, the players have experienced a long vacation and their physical condition is definitely not ideal. They even found that many players' physical data have seriously exceeded the standard. Therefore, it is impossible for Pochettino to directly enter a large number of them as soon as they get up.
However, after the adjustment stage, three practices a day, each training class is 90 minutes, and it is a high-intensity training that is enough to make all the players in the team cry and cry, and they are all ravaged and sad.
During this period, domestic fans kept learning from WeChat, Weibo and media interviews that the tragic situation of the players in the training camp of the Beijing Guoen team. Even captain Xu Yunlong said in an interview with a reporter from Beijing Daily that this was the most cruel training camp he had ever experienced.
No one knows what happened to Guoen, a capital far away in Europe, but judging from the players' complaints, they all seemed to be ravaged to death. Could it be that this Argentine coach is really so terrifying?
Yu?, many unscrupulous media in China began to hype, believing that Pochettino had no ability. He ignored the specific situation of Chinese players and blindly carried out strong training, which led to complaints from players in the team.
Some media also pointed out that many players in the Beijing Guoen team have complained about Pochettino. Once the team's performance is poor or there are conflicts, they will rebel as soon as possible.
Some media even revealed that the new coach of Jingcheng Guoen was too biased towards big-name foreign players in training and treated the players unfairly, resulting in many internal conflicts within the team. After Jingcheng Guoen reorganized, he was on the verge of falling apart before the fight.
Today, an insider revealed that tomorrow it was a certain player who came out to accuse him, and the day after tomorrow it was a certain senior executive who secretly told the reporter.
The series of reports from domestic media made it seem like the capital of Guoen is almost out of reach.
There are even many fans of Jingcheng Guoen who are worried, but before the league can be played, the team will be disabled.
But at this moment, a reporter from the team followed the team to visit Guoen of Beijing to Barcelona and launched a special report.
In this report, not only did the situation of Jingcheng Guoen's training camp in Barcelona in detail, but also interviewed many players, as well as the club's management and staff.
From these reports, all fans who care about the Beijing Guoen team can generally feel that the club still recognizes Pochettino very much. Although the Argentine coach's training intensity is very strong, the effect is very good and targeted.
Although it is currently affected by all aspects and it is difficult for domestic players to fully meet Pochettino's requirements, after a series of high-intensity training, the players generally responded that they gained a lot and made considerable progress.
Zhang Xizhe, a young player in the team, said in an interview that through Pochettino's guidance, he has a deeper understanding of his responsibilities on the court and how to better serve the team as a whole.
Another young player, Zhang Chengdong, also said that Pochettino is indeed a very informative head coach and has helped him a lot.
"At the beginning, he asked me to play right back, which made me not very happy, but during training, I gradually realized that playing this position was indeed a pretty good challenge for me, and I gradually fell in love with this position."
Not only for head coach Pochettino, but also for several big-name stars in the team, the players also have a very high evaluation.
Captain Xu Yunlong said, "A superstar is a superstar. When I face Ibrahimovic, let alone one, neither of us can defend against him. He is so tall and strong, but his feet are so flexible and skillful, it is impossible to tell that he is in his thirties."
"And Terry, I often partner with him during training. At first I didn't think he was different. Sometimes I even felt that the so-called world-class central defender was nothing more than that."
"But later, once, I was divided into different groups with him, and I suddenly realized that when I thought he hadn't done anything, he actually did a lot, and even his every move on the training ground was very meaningful."
"After training class, I asked him and he told me that a really good defense is not a response until the opponent enters his own defense zone, or even when the opponent is approaching. A truly outstanding defense should be to resolve the crisis before the opponent enters his own defense zone and forms a direct threat."
"This is very simple to say, but in fact, it is difficult to do it."
"Later, I told Xiao Lei, Xiao Lang, Xiao Zhao and others, and I told them that learning with Terry is not only about learning his training attitude and professional ethics, but also about his defensive awareness and experience. This is very helpful for their growth."
Not only Terry, Ibrahimovic also made this group of domestic players praise it.
Especially the frontcourt attackers Wu Lei and Zhang Xizhe, they were even more impressed by Ibrahimovic and Kaka.
If domestic media have previously questioned that Pochettino could not control the big names and local players in the team, as this report by Emperor Daqiu was released, the public opinion trend immediately fell.
But what is really convincing is the five warm-up matches played by Jingcheng Guoen in Barcelona.
Considering that the team had just trained, the warm-up match was arranged in the second half of the competition.
As a result, in these five warm-up matches, Jingcheng Guoen faced teams of the CSKA and Donetsk miners of Moscow. Although the strength of these teams is not outstanding in Europe, they are at least safe in the middle.
In the first warm-up match, Jingcheng Guoen lost to Moscow CSKA.
In this game, domestic WeChat videos were also broadcast live, and all fans noticed that although the results of the game were not satisfactory, the Beijing Guoen team took the initiative for most of the game.
However, the team reorganized and the players cooperated unfamiliarly, especially between foreign players and local players, it is difficult to coordinate the rhythm of each other.
After the game, Pochettino was interviewed by domestic media for the first time. He said that losing was not beyond his expectations. He thought it was not a bad thing. On the contrary, he thought that the problems exposed in the game made him very happy.
"For the warm-up match, I told the players not to care about the results, the most important thing is to play our stuff."
"In fact, everyone can see that we played our own stuff in the game."
Domestic fans are also very satisfied with the performance of Jingcheng Guoen's first warm-up match, especially the momentum shown in the game and the tactical style of pressing and oppressing at high positions.
Ibrahimovic was at the front, Kaka and Xavi Alonso were in the midfield, Terry was in the back line, and Jingcheng Guoen had outstanding strength in the entire central axis. Under the leadership of four foreign players, domestic players basically played the tactics Pochettino wanted.
Losing is normal, but winning is abnormal.
In the second game against Donetsk Miners, Jingcheng Guoen lost again, one to two.
In two rounds of games, Ibrahimovic scored two goals, but the team suffered two losses.
If the team had the advantage in the first game against CSKA Moscow but lost the score, then the team suffered a double loss in the second game.
Although the Donetsk Miners team has a group of high-level Brazilian players, the Donetsk Miners are not short of money and immediately formed a team with excellent combat effectiveness, with a stable level of the Champions League.
It is not surprising that Jingcheng Guoen loses like this.
Because the second game was not broadcast live, the news reached the country, and fans were generally disappointed, but many mainstream media, especially the Emperor of the Football and the authoritative domestic football newspapers, all affirmed the performance of Jingcheng Guoen.
The leagues between Russia and Ukraine are also about to start. Whether it is the CSKA Moscow or the Donetsk miners, they are all training in pre-season training, and they also hope to use warm-up matches to test the team and adjust the team's condition.
From the warm-up match, everyone can see that neither team has any energy to keep.
After two consecutive defeats in the warm-up match, Jingcheng Guoen's next three warm-up matches were also not ideal, with two draws and one loss, and encountered a defeat in five warm-up matches.
This also disappoints domestic fans, but it once again proves that even the world's top superstars are difficult to support a team with great strength.
Because modern football plays the whole!
But when fans were generally disappointed and domestic media were worried about the new season of Beijing Guoen, technical director Bielsa said in an interview with Emperor Dongqiu that in the team, the team's progress seemed very obvious.
But the Argentine coach did not analyze his statement in depth, which caused great controversy to his remarks.
Many media and fans believe that Bielsa favors his disciples and team, but some fans believe that with Bielsa's personality, he will definitely not do such a thing, so the team is really improving.
But no matter what, after five warm-up matches and a long training camp, Jingcheng Guoen officially ended his trip to Barcelona and returned to China from Spain.
This time, the team was greeted by thousands of fans at the Capital Airport in Beijing.
Although the team's record in the warm-up match was not good, the fans of Guoen team still had confidence in the team, hoping that the team could prepare well and strive to make a comeback in the new season.
Yang Huan has always been paying attention to the trends of the Beijing Guoen team and took the time to watch two or three warm-up matches. He also felt that the team has made great progress, especially in overall and team collaboration, which has made great progress.
It can be seen that Pochettino is implementing his tactical philosophy step by step in the team, but it will definitely take some time.
Before the team left Spain, Yang Huan went to the hotel to say goodbye to the players and promised that he would return to China to watch the team's first Chinese Super League game.
