39 The Smart and the Stupid (Part 2)
39 Smart people and fools (Part 2)
"Andres!" Warner and Mertzer also came to the training ground at some point.
"Werner, why are you here too?" Bremer smiled rare.
Mercen smiled and pointed his head towards the training ground, "I'll stare at him!"
Bremer was stunned, but soon realized that he was probably the team's new head coach Yang Cheng.
"Although the board of directors has already made a big mistake, his actions are too big, and the quality of the signings is worrying. The board of directors is afraid of chaos, so I let me watch him."
Bremer frowned, and he was obviously not very satisfied with this approach, "They are starting to be smart again! By the way, how many people did he introduce?"
"A dozen or so, almost all the teams were replaced, and even Reich was replaced!" Melce said with a wry smile. He found that Yang Cheng seemed to favor Desler, and he could even be said to be doting on him.
When Bremer heard Reich's name, he frowned, "I went to see the European Cup. I heard that he introduced Nedved of the Czech Republic for $1.5 million. That kid performed very well in the European Cup, which is great value!"
Melzer nodded unstoppably, "Yes, if there weren't a few pretty good transfers, I guess the board of directors wouldn't have just arranged for me!"
Bremer sneered, then saw the player playing the game on the field, pointing to the ball-grabbing person in the middle and asked, "Who is he?"
"Tony, Viccino's compatriot, is called Gattuso. He couldn't play in the Italian second division before. Yang Cheng spent $250,000 to buy him. Look, he seems to be able to run, and he can't do anything else, just like a crazy beast!"
Bremer watched on the sidelines for a long time, and he also saw Gattuso's problem. This guy really only knows how to run and doesn't know how to judge the ball in advance. Once a player like him runs wildly, he will not play much role at all.
"He called this monkey walking game, saying that it can be warmed up, and at the same time, a player can predict the ball path and sense of position, and at the same time, it can improve the player's touch and pass ability of the ball in the circle. His requirements are very strict. All players can only touch the ball at most with one kick, and if there are too many, they will blow the whistle. The one holding the whistle is Yang Cheng's assistant, Paul, Bayer!"
Sure enough, within a moment, Paul blew the whistle and pointed at Barack, who raised his hands with a look of unfairness.
"Stop calling for justice, who told you to kick the ball out of the circle!" Yang Cheng shouted with a smile on the sidelines.
Barack looked at his teammates, and they all wanted to get up and be walked up by themselves, so he had no choice but to walk up.
Gattuso smiled and came down. When passing by Barack, the Italian devil even hugged Barack to thank him for standing up and saving himself.
This scene was very interesting, and even Bremer, who was watching the sidelines, couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Remember what I say, use your brain more and observe your surroundings more!"
"There are many types of people who play football. Some people use their bodies to play football, and some people use their experience to play football. But these are all ordinary people. Those who can really achieve outstanding achievements are all people who use their brains to play football. They are smart people on the court, and the others are fools!"
"My request for you is very simple. I want you to be smart people and make your opponents stupid!"
After saying that, Yang Cheng waved his hand and continued the training.
Monkey walking training is a signature dish before training. Although it is rare in the training ground in 1996, it was definitely a thing that was well-known in 2011, even the Chinese national football team used it.
"This game is quite interesting. The training intensity is not too small, and it is very helpful for the tacit understanding and cooperation among players!" Bremer said with a smile.
Melce has also played for many years, so he naturally saw the benefits of the monkey walking game. He felt that Yang Cheng’s warm-up before training in this way was much better than those monotonous warm-up events in the past.
After about 30 minutes of gameplay, Yang Cheng seemed to feel that the warm-up was almost done, so he arranged the players to play small games in 5v5, moved the goal to the center of the stadium, and at the same time, he pulled a strip to limit the scope of the stadium.
The 5-on-5 training match team is also very particular. Yang Cheng seems to be consciously arranging and grouping according to the players' position on the field, and then arranges Gattuso as a libero, helping any side defend according to the situation on the field anytime and anywhere. In this way, the Italian seems to be fighting for the whole game and running.
"He seemed to be consciously trying to figure this kid out!" Bremer could see it.
"Yes, although this Italian boy is not very good at playing skills, he is very diligent and hardworking. He came to the team early to train himself. Later, some players started training in advance one after another. Yang Cheng simply organized it, pulled a few youth team players to make up the numbers, and started training in advance."
After hearing this, Bremer looked at Yang Cheng who was engaged in training on the court and couldn't help but agree more. At least he tried hard to prove that he was dedicated to this team.
11 players were stuffed into the small field. You can imagine how intense the game was in this small field. The offense and defense were very fast, which required the players' physical fitness. Not long after, I saw the players panting, but the enthusiasm for training was very high.
In the 5v5 confrontation, Bremer discovered a man, a thin young man. Almost every time the football hit his feet, it seemed to be stuck. Even in a small space, even when facing the attacks of two players, he could still bring the ball out calmly.
If it was only once or twice, it would be fine, but Bremer saw that the players in his group seemed to hand over the ball to him, and he would drive the ball to break through by himself. This kid's skills were very delicate and rarely disappointed.
"Who is he?" Bremer asked with interest. He rarely sees such delicate players in Germany.
"Denilsen, a Brazilian, bought it for $100. He has excellent skills, but his style is a bit unique. He is also the most outstanding player in training."
"Worth it!" Bremer said nothing, but just praised.
Merzer also smiled and nodded. Denilson's skills are so excellent, and $1 million is definitely worth it.
After completing 30 minutes of small field training, Yang Cheng formed a big circle with the players. Each player held hands, and then Yang Cheng threw a football. They started passing the ball and passed through any part of their body except their hands. As long as the ball did not land on the ground while moving, it would not be considered a foul.
Watching the large circle formed by the players move back and forth at both ends of the court, although the speed is not fast, the ball often lands. Every time it lands, the "sinner" player will take the initiative to leave the queue and take the ball to the already arranged disc ball training area on the side to receive punishment.
"Every training he arranged seems to be related to the ball!" Bremer saw some tricks on the side.
Mercen smiled, "He has said a long time ago that he is a coach who only knows how to train with ball!"
After saying that, Melzer patted Bremer on the shoulder vigorously, "Let's go, the training is about to end, don't look at it, Mr. Chairman wants to see you!"
Bremer was stunned, but immediately thought of something and left the training ground with Merzer.
Not long after they left, Yang Cheng called out to stop training for 90 minutes on time.
Nowadays, the training classes are more conducted in the form of games. After all, the players are seriously incomplete, and most of the players are still on vacation. Only these newly joined players stay in the team to prepare for the pre-season in advance. Yang Cheng is also happy to let these guys get familiar with his tactical system first, so he has been training these days.
According to Yang Cheng's plan, the real pre-season training should be after the European Cup, and the players will return to the team for training. Yang Cheng will specially prepare a 10-day pre-season training plan for them at that time.
At that time, even if these guys don’t die, they will still lose their skin!
While Yang Cheng arranged the training content of several new players to join the team, the European Cup was also very popular.
The Czech Republic is undoubtedly the dark horse of this European Cup, but like Yang Cheng's previous life, the Czech Republic failed to laugh to the end and lost 1:2 to Germany in the final.
After winning the European Cup in England, Germany was joking, and fans rushed to tell each other.
But Yang Cheng is obviously not as excited and excited as the Germans around him. At least in his opinion, this European Cup has become the last afterglow of this group of German players. What is waiting for Germany next will be a sour and yellow misfortune. Although he reached the final in 2002, there are more bitter memories.
The European Cup has no meaning to Yang Cheng, and the only benefit is Nedved.
The Czech midfielder performed well in the European Cup. After this European Cup, many teams rushed to get him, but without exception, they were told that they had switched to Kaiserslautern.
When I heard that when I got this news, Eindhoven's general manager Aneson was furious because before the European Cup, Sparta Prague had taken the initiative to recommend this player to him, but the price was higher than Aneson's acceptance range and he failed to get what he wanted. Now it seems that he is really leaving!
With Nedved's outstanding performance in the European Cup, US$3-4 million cannot be eliminated, but the previous demand for Sparta Prague was only 1.5 million US dollars, which is twice as low.
As soon as he thought of this, Aneson beat his chest hard in pain.
On the contrary, with Nedved's outstanding performance, Yang Cheng temporarily gained the reputation of a boy and temporarily stabilized the hearts of the guys on the club's board of directors.
After the European Cup, the team also began training and fully entered the plan to prepare for the new season!
Chapter completed!
