Football coach

"I love international breaks."

Chen Ping only participated in the draw ceremony in Nyon, and then returned to London overnight.Because the team had training the next day, although Chen Ping no longer needed to go off the field to guide the training in person, he still shouldn't be absent.Watching Liu Yu arranging training sessions the next day, Chen Ping was in a good mood when he talked to Julian Dix.

"Yeah, it's really a good thing for us."

Julian Dix nodded, agreeing with Chen Ping's opinion very much. The national team game in early October was definitely a timely rain for West Ham, giving West Ham a chance to adjust and adapt.West Ham's main defensive midfielder Mascherano returned too late, and the running-in with the team was not in place.This has always been a headache for Chen Ping.

And West Ham's two full-backs have defensive problems.

But although there are a lot of problems, I have not been able to calm down to solve them, because the games in August and September are too intensive.Just after entering October, there was an international competition day, and there was no competition for nearly half a month.Coupled with the limited number of international players in West Ham United, most of the teams stayed in ***.Therefore, the impact of the international match day on West Ham United is limited.

"Julian, what do you think of Martin Anthony's current situation?"

"The improvement is still very fast. In particular, his running position is much smarter than before, and he has begun to know how to cooperate with the central defender and defensive midfielder. However, although there is some improvement, there is still a lot of gap from a qualified full-back .”

Julian Dix sighed.

Speaking of which, Martin Anthony is really a good player playing full-back.Especially Martin Anthony's abnormal physical fitness, even Lambert can't compare.Martin Anthony is strong and can fight against any physical player. There is no player in the Premier League who can physically overwhelm Martin Anthony.And Martin Anthony is strong, yet flexible, and has amazing explosive power.Not only these, Martin Anthony also has excellent defensive skills.In one-on-one situations, few players can easily break through Martin Anthony.

It can be said that Martin Anthony has all the conditions for a successful defender.

It's a pity that Martin Anthony's awareness is too poor, his position is too poor, and his teamwork is too poor.Although after two months of training and competition, great progress has been made, but there are still big problems.Awareness, movement, and teamwork are too poor. As a result, Martin Anthony is not afraid of facing the opponent's full-back one-on-one.But facing some players who run well without the ball, they don't know how to defend at all.And he doesn't know how to defend as a whole, and it is easy to fall behind in defense.

"Take it easy. Compared to two months ago, he's doing really well."

"That's true. According to the current development, after the end of this season, I think he should be able to adapt to his current position."

Julian Dix nodded.

Chen Ping smiled.

At the beginning of the season, Chen Ping gave Martin Anthony 6 potential points, so that Martin Anthony's consciousness potential reached 8, and his teamwork potential reached 6.Coupled with Martin Anthony's efforts, it would be hell if he didn't develop.

But even with progress, the data is still very ugly.

At present, Martin Anthony's consciousness is only 5, and his teamwork is only 4.Compared with the previous data of 2 and 3, it has made great progress.But this awareness and teamwork are even worse than many Premier League substitute players.

If it weren't for his tyrannical physical fitness, Martin Anthony must be the worst at the guard position.

"Our defense is still very problematic. In the summer transfer, I made a mistake. We should sign an experienced and capable central defender. Christian's strength is limited, and Pepe is too young. The problem is not small. "

"Yes."

"Julian, what do you think of Southgate?"

Chen Ping actually regretted it a long time ago.

The summer transfer was too hasty and failed to bring an experienced and capable central defender to the team.Pepe has good strength, but after all, he is young and inexperienced, so he is very frizzy.Christian Daly has a lot of experience, but his strength is limited. It can be said that he has more energy than he wants.In the second tier, Christian Daly performed well, but he was not enough for the strong teams in the Premier League.

The other central defenders are either too young or not strong enough.Therefore, Chen Ping has been considering new central defender candidates.

"You want to bring in Southgate?"

"Have the idea."

"If it's Southgate, he must have better experience and strength than Christian. But Southgate is not young."

"That's not scary. I think Southgate is in good shape. He also performed very well in Middlesbrough this season. The introduction of Southgate is only for one or two seasons. I hope his experience can help."

"If this is the case, Southgate is indeed a good candidate. But it should not be so easy to introduce Southgate. He is the captain of Middlesbrough."

"We are a strong team in the Premier League and a team in the UEFA Cup. Where does Middlesbrough rank?"

Chen Ping pouted.

How does Middlesbrough compare to West Ham.West Ham United is currently a strong team in the Premier League and can still play in the UEFA Cup. As long as Southgate has some pursuits, he will definitely be able to transfer.

Southgate is 34 years old this year, but he is still Middlesbrough's main central defender.Chen Ping knew that Middlesbrough performed very well in the UEFA Cup next season in history, eliminated many strong teams in Europe, and entered the UEFA Cup final.It is precisely because of Middlesbrough's outstanding performance in the UEFA Cup that Middlesbrough's coach McClaren became the head coach of the England national team.At that time, the captain of Middlesbrough was Southgate, who was still the absolute main force of the team.

The current West Ham United is too young and needs a veteran like Southgate.

"When training starts tomorrow, let Gareth Chimbonda play the main right-back position."

"Where's Glenn Johnson?"<b

r />

"Let him play as a substitute first. One of our Chinese sages said a word, fish, I have what I want, and bear's paw is also what I want; you can't have both, and those who give up the fish and take the bear's paw. The meaning is Said, I like to eat fish, and I also like to eat bear's paws. If I can't eat them all, I can only give up fish and eat bear's paws. It's a very simple truth, but I haven't figured it out. I always hope that the two of our West Ham The wings are capable of offense and defense, so Martin Anthony and Glen Johnson have been reused. Unfortunately, with our current situation and the strength of the two of them, it is impossible to meet my requirements."

Chen Ping smiled, also reflecting.

Since rebirth, Shunfeng has gotten used to it smoothly.Forget that I used to be the coach of the youth team, forget what it means to progress step by step, and forget what it means to have gains and losses.Although Chen Ping has a system, but relying on the system, it is already very powerful to create a star in a season.Where can two top stars be cultivated at the same time, and they are both full-backs with huge flaws.Martin Anthony and Glenn Johnson, if you want to train them to become the full-backs in Chen Ping's mind, it is impossible without two or three seasons.

Too greedy.

The result is that the defensive loopholes on the two sides are getting bigger and bigger. In desperation, they can only increase the number of people to strengthen the defense.

Think badly.

"There are too many loopholes on the two flanks. Although Chimbonda is not as good as Johnson in terms of offense, his defensive stability is far superior to Glenn Johnson. Moreover, Chimbonda's offensive strength is not bad. Glenn Johnson fits in right now. With Chimbonda, the defense on the right is a lot more solid."

"Chen, but have you ever thought about it? Glenn Johnson is a West Ham youth trainer and has a high appeal among fans."

"It's nothing."

Chen Ping shook his head.

So what if Glenn Johnson has charisma?It can be compared with a coach like Chen Ping who brought West Ham the championship.Chen Ping is not worried about fans and public opinion, but Glenn Johnson's attitude.Glenn Johnson is a well-known talent in English football, and many strong teams in English football are eyeing him.If you let him play as a substitute, I don't know what will happen.

"What about the left side?"

Julian Dix asked Chen Ping.

Zimbonda, who is better defensively, is used on the right, but what about the left?Judging from the situation on the left, Baines' defense is obviously better than Martin Anthony.One-on-one Bynes's thin body is not as powerful as Martin Anthony, but in terms of cooperating with players, Bynes is smarter.

"Continue to use Anthony. I have great confidence in him, and his progress is obvious to all. I believe that his strength will soon be competent for his current position."

"Ok."

Julian Dix is ​​the assistant coach.

An assistant coach who doesn't want to be a head coach is not a good assistant coach, although that doesn't really hold true.Because there are many solo assistant coaches in European football, the final situation is not very optimistic.Those assistant coaches who end up being great head coaches are rare, really rare.

Because assistant coaches and head coaches are completely different situations.

The best assistant coach is the most competent assistant coach who can understand the head coach's tactical intentions and implement the head coach's ideas.That was the case with Julian Dix.

When Chen Ping asks for opinions, he will express his views.But when Chen Ping made his decision, all Julian Dix did was obey.

"Julian, our advantage is our offensive ability. We just couldn't do anything before, so we took a defensive counterattack, and it was a half-court defense. This sacrificed our offensive ability. Once we encounter some teams that also like defensive counterattacks, we will It will be a disadvantage. So our defensive line should be brought forward, and we will start counter-attacking in the frontcourt as before."

"Ah."

As Chen Ping said, he looked at Martin Anthony who was trained by Liu Yu.

Chimbonda started to be used on the right side, but Chen Ping on the left side has always supported Martin Anthony, not only because Martin Anthony is Chen Ping's direct descendant, but also a player of Chen Ping's agency.The main reason is that Martin Anthony's physical fitness is too good.Physical fitness is also a talent, and it is the best talent.Height, strength, bounce, agility, endurance, balance, speed, explosive power, injury resistance, Martin Anthony is perfect.Players with such good physical fitness are very difficult to find.

Take a look at your system.

Since the start of the season, West Ham has seven wins and one loss, and has scored 23 goals.It can be exchanged for four strength points, or two potential points.Chen Ping thought about it for a while, what West Ham needs now is actual strength, not future potential.Therefore, Chen Ping exchanged four strength points.

Since it takes time to improve a player's strength through normal means, Chen Ping of course has to rely on the system.Chen Ping has believed that egalitarianism has no future since he was coaching in the fourth tier league.Chen Ping used the potential points and strength points in his hands intensively every time to build key players.

This time too.

Chen Ping wanted to improve his defense, so he gave all his strength to Martin Anthony. 2 points were given to Martin Anthony's consciousness, so that Martin Anthony's consciousness became 7.Another 2 points were given to Martin Anthony's teamwork, and Martin Anthony's teamwork became 6 at once.

Although consciousness is 7 and teamwork is 6, they are not top-notch among Premier League defenders, but they are already above average.Coupled with Martin Anthony's excellent physical condition and a defensive ability of 7, Martin Anthony can become a qualified Premier League full-back.

Of course, Martin Anthony still has many shortcomings.

Such as position 5, technique 4, dribbling 4, passing 5, all seriously affect him becoming a top full-back like Carlos.But it's already better than the beginning of the season. I don't know how much.As long as Martin Anthony makes good use of these ten days to get familiar with the changes in strength, and when the Premier League restarts, West Ham's defense will definitely be able to improve to a higher level.

Looking at the changes in Martin Anthony's data, Chen Ping felt that "the system is in my hands, and the world is in my hands".
