Yang Huan noticed that among the many notes on the wall, under Menotti and Bilardo, there were four notes on the line.

The four sticky notes are written in twists and turns.

It is not in English, it should be the Spanish commonly used in Bielsa.

"What is this?" Yang Huan asked curiously.

Bielsa reached out to point the notes, clicked them one by one, and read them out one by one.

But Yang Huan didn't understand Spanish at all, and he didn't know anything about it.

"This is permanent focus, and it is the most important criterion for me to select players."

Focus is indeed the type of player Bielsa prefers.

In Bielsa's statement, your skills can be rough, your strength can be poor, and even your condition can be very poor, but you cannot be insufficient in competitions and training. The focus here is obviously not just focusing on the competition, but also the meaning of wholeheartedness and devoting all your energy to the competition.

As he said that, he pointed to the second label.

"This is liquidity. Dutch football has a lot of emphasis on the multifacetedness of players from Michels's attack and defense to Van Gaal's Ajax. They are best at mixing tactics of 433 and 343, which have strong flexibility and can vary according to the opponent."

"The most critical point of Saki's football philosophy is to occupy favorable space on the court and maintain a flat formation with no more than 25 meters in front and back lines. In this framework, forget the fixed position, and the players revolve around the four major elements of space, ball, opponent and teammates."

Yang Huan was stunned when he heard this. What an amazing tactical concept is this?

But if you think about it carefully, in the past few years, football tactics have been focusing on details, constantly deriveing ​​more and more positions, constantly subdividing players' roles and positions on the court.

But from another perspective, football tactics have also been fuzzing in position over the past few years.

For example, pseudo forward, front midfielder, or midfielder, aren't it just blurred position?

If the position blur has reached a certain level, isn’t it just that you forget the fixed position?

When a team is full of flexibility and can have different tactics based on different opponents, players forget to fix their positions and play around space, ball, opponents and teammates, won’t this team be invincible?

Bielsa did not worry about Yang Huan's shock, but pointed to the third note.

"This is a rotation"

After a pause, he continued: "Many people say that Uruguay's Oscars, Washington, Tavarez, is a defeated general. He has changed teams in his coaching career, but he has never been able to achieve convincing results."

When talking about this, Bielsa rarely showed a look of admiration and sneer.

Although it is very light and fleeting, it is extremely difficult to show admiration for a person as arrogant as him.

As for sneering, I'm afraid it's a sneering that people often judge wins and loses based on their achievements.

Yang Huan knew that Tavarez was the head coach of the Uruguay national team. In the South African world in 2010, Uruguay entered the top four meritorious coaches, and ended in the quarterfinals of 16 knockout matches in the 2014 Brazil World Cup.

The one who defeated Uruguay was Colombia led by Colombian coach Peckelman.

But Tavarez's most convincing record was in 2011, leading the team to win the Copa America championship.

That is the Copa America, Tavarez proved his coaching ability.

"Tavarez is a typical pragmatism, but he reveals the true meaning of football. The four basic elements of football, defense, offense, how to turn from defense to offense, how to turn from attack to defense, but the key is how to make the team rotate smoothly in these four stages."

“As long as you can do this, it’s a great team”

Yang Huan had to give him a thumbs up and give him a thumbs up.

This is simple, very concise, right?

It is possible to use the extremely complex and complicated football to understand the core truth of the simple and easy-to-understand. If you say that this person is not good enough, you won’t believe that Yang Huan will kill him, because a person with no level can’t say such things at all.

This is what happens in this world.

It’s like we see those pianists who can play music without practicing without practicing when they get the music score. They can play the music out with their hands.

Is it easy?

Yes, it's really easy.

But you have to be clear that behind the ease, it is their hard work every night that makes them become a skilled and qualified pianist, so that they can do it.

Can you do it if you have never learned piano?

"The last and most critical one is only qualified to pursue it on the basis of achieving the first three..."

“…Improvisation”

Bielsa stared at the notes on the wall in a daze, as if she was trapped in her own thoughts.

"If the aestheticism that Menotti pursues is impossible, then the routines and dogmas that Bilardo pursues are possible. Looking at today's football, which team is not practicing routines? Which team is not practicing tactical formation?"

"Even if it is Barcelona, ​​the most creative players, Zidane, Maradona, Messi and other players, aren't they showing their improvisation in dogmatic routines and tactical formations?"

"Only when you finish the possibility, you are qualified to pursue the impossible."

Yang Huan agrees very much with this.

Modern football is becoming more and more rigorous and meticulous, and the team role is becoming more and more prominent.

It is impossible to win without a team that has a whole.

Team cooperation often requires routines and tactical formations.

What to practice during training?

Isn’t it just practice routines and formations?

"I can tell 150 defensive routines casually, and I can teach the team 150 offensive routines casually. However, what I want to do is to pursue the 151 offensive and defensive routines on the basis of mastering these 150 offensive and defensive routines."

"If my player is not a human and can fully follow my requirements, I will never lose."

The last sentence of the Argentine madman was very confident.

Yang Huan got goosebumps when she heard this.

Perhaps, in Bielsa's view, those 150 routines belong to Bilardo, which are possible, mechanical dogmatic routines that can be calculated and mastered.

And the 151-item he pursues is the aestheticism that belongs to Menotti, which is impossible

If the Argentine lunatic just said it, it was a fool.

But the problem is that he not only said, he also thought, thought day and night, and even put it into practice, he did, practiced, and tried.

This is very, very difficult

Yang Huan even thought that perhaps only madmen like Bielsa who loves football so much and has even reached the level of paranoidness can have the courage to pursue such goals and ideas.

Because, that may be a goal that cannot be achieved in a lifetime.

Yang Huan finally understood why Bielsa doesn't like to interfere in the team's transfers and does not like to interfere in the team's daily management.

Because he doesn't have that much energy.

He focused all his energy on thinking and exploring the 151 method of offense and defense.

Yang Huan suddenly found it very funny.

Fortunately, he thought Bielsa's life was too boring and too monotonous.

But now, he suddenly felt that Bielsa's life was not only boring, nor monotonous.

On the contrary, he lives more fulfilling and colorful than anyone else.

Because he knows his pursuit very clearly and clearly the direction he needs to work hard on.

That's enough

"Old Bei"

Yang Huan suddenly reached out and patted Bielsa's shoulder very much, smiling constantly.

Bielsa seemed to be suddenly awakened, looking at Master Huan with a little at a loss in surprise.

"They all said that I am a lunatic among the many football bosses, and you, you are also an unscrupulous lunatic in the field of head coaching.

Bielsa used his pair of Chuchu's first look, and he was a little dull, but when he looked closely, his eyes were shining with wisdom and enlightenment, and he looked at Yang Huan blankly. He might be wondering why Master Huan said that?

"We two, although they are different positions, are all crazy."

Speaking of this, Yang Huan laughed passionately.

"Then let's build a crazy team, enter the Premier League, enter the Champions League, and stab me in the European football world. It will make him a big fuss and make everyone in the world see the storm created by the two madmen."

When she said this, Yang Huan looked at the notes on the wall with a confident look on her face.

Those seem to be not sticky notes, but the future of Southampton.

He made a secret decision in his heart.

From now on, Bielsa wants people to give them, and gives them whatever they want.

Since the Argentinians dare to use their entire lives to bet, why should Yang Huan bet with him?

After hearing Mr. Huan's statement, Bielsa seemed to be greatly inspired.

It was only at this moment that he truly felt the passion of a thousand-mile horse meeting Bole.

At this moment, the two sat down directly in the head coach's office and made very in-depth and honest communication about some of Southampton's ideas and ideas, as well as some existing problems of the team.

Only then was Yang Huan surprised Bielsa's progress with the times.
