Football coach

"Wesley (Sneijder), pass the ball, pass the ball. Don't have any hesitation after you get the ball, just pass the ball. It's the moment, understand? After that moment, the chance is gone. "

"Michael (Carrick), what are you doing? Decisive, everyone else has gone up, you haven't gone up yet. Don't think about the latter, you have to act with the whole team. You must keep a specified distance from the players, don't Any hesitation."

"Wrong, wrong. Too far away."

"The time is too slow, I only give you six seconds. If you fail to grab the ball in six seconds, then immediately take a tactical foul."

Chen Ping shouted so loudly from the sidelines.

Standing on the sidelines, directing loudly non-stop.After Chen Ping became the head coach, it has been a long time since he directed the training in person.Before Chen Ping deployed tactical training, it was Julian Dix who led the team to train.As an assistant coach, Julian Dix's task is to complete Chen Ping's tactical arrangements.Chen Ping was more concerned about how to perfect his tactics and how to deal with his opponents, rather than going off the field to guide the training himself.In the field of football, the division of labor of modern football coaches is becoming more and more clear, and it is no longer the former head coaches who grasp everything.The situation where the head coach personally participates in guiding training is less and less.

This is why the coaching teams of many famous coaches are getting bigger and bigger.

Like some head coaches, there are five or six head coaches in the coaching team alone, and more than a dozen first-team coaches.So many coaches have a clear division of labor.

But this summer training is completely different.Chen Ping can hand over other things to the coaching team below. For example, daily basic training and physical training can be handed over to the following people. Only Chen Ping needs to get off the field and train in person in the frontcourt of high-position pressing. .

Julian Dix did not fully understand Chen Ping's new tactics.Julian Dix still has a lot to offer in the assistant coaching business and needs to learn a lot.The high-position pressing proposed by Chen Ping is not a new term in the football industry.

Regarding high-position pressing, many coaches have played it before.

However, Chen Ping's high-position pressing, which contains many things, is very original.For example, the division of the front court space, the distance arrangement between the front court players, the design of their off-ball running routes, and the six-second rule of grabbing the ball are all quite different from the previous high-position press.The biggest difference is that Chen Ping's understanding of pitch space surpasses all football coaches of this era.

Therefore, in terms of the positioning of the players, the arrangement of the distance between the players, and the design of the players' running routes without the ball, they are all higher than all the coaches of this era.Because there are too many new things, Julian Dix does not understand many aspects.

It wasn't just Julian Dix who didn't get it, neither did the West Ham players.The tactic of high position pressing is originally a relatively complicated tactic in all aspects.It is easy to say, but it is very difficult to train, and it is very prone to problems.

One of the biggest problems is the problem of player coordination.

High pressing requires the players to move together, and everyone must have the same idea.When pressing high and one of them doesn't move, or one of them makes a mistake in running, the whole tactic will fail.But there are often players who have problems.After the training started, it was Carrick who Chen Ping scolded the most.

Carrick was brilliant.

The best midfielder in the Premier League.

But there are too many worries.

Always failed to attack the first time, resulting in loopholes in the frontcourt press.

Moreover, Carrick has never played this kind of high-position press, which is completely different from his previous training tactics.It was indeed difficult for him to adapt to this tactic for a while.Compared with Carrick, the players in the frontcourt are the easiest to enter the state.Including Carlos Tevez who has just transferred, the adaptation to this tactic quickly surpassed that of Carrick.

But Chen Ping was not in a hurry.

Because Carrick is the one with the highest golf quotient among the players Chen Ping has coached.Now it's just because he doesn't adapt to it, which is completely different from the tactics he practiced since he was a child, so there are always mistakes.When he adapts to such tactics, his understanding will surpass all other players.At that time, he will still be the most important core player in this tactic.

"How are you doing, Julian?"

Julian Dix is ​​still in the stage of understanding the high press, how to implement it, and how to train the team. He does have many problems.But for defensive training, Julian Dix is ​​a good player.

As a defender, he has always had his own understanding of defense.

What is defense?

Destroy space, control space, limit space.

Julian Dix designed a set of defensive tactics based on his own understanding of defense and Chen Ping's method of dividing the midfield space.There are new arrangements for players' positions and players' defensive coordination.In this regard, Julian Dix is ​​not inferior to Chen Ping.

Speaking of which, Chen Ping's understanding of defense may not necessarily surpass Julian Dix.Chen Ping's biggest reliance is the system's understanding of the court space for Chen Ping.Combine those two, and Julian Dix is ​​training the defense of the backline.

"good."

Julian Dix was smiling and looking very happy.He came to Chen Ping and said: "Chen, I didn't expect you to have such a good understanding of the court space. According to your division of space, I have conducted defensive training for our defense these days. The effect is very good. division of space

Cutting and restrictions are in place.Our players understand well too.As long as we continue to practice, our defense will definitely improve a lot.In the future, if we play the defense of the iron barrel team, we will not be inferior to those teams trained by famous defensive coaches. "

Chen Ping nodded.

Of course it is.

Chen Ping is a good thing to have for the next hundred years.The division of court space will be the result of the next hundred years. After a hundred years, these things will still draw on the development of mathematics at that time.This is something beyond time and space.

Defense is also an art, and Chen Ping will improve defense to another level.

"How about Tiago ***?"

"how to say?"

When Chen Ping asked about specific players, Julian Dix became very serious.

The most indispensable thing for West Ham at present is the central defender, many of whom are international players.It's a pity that although they are capable players, they are only Premier League players, not champion players.

In a championship-oriented team like West Ham, they can only be substitute players.

Chen Ping's current trusted central defender combination is Pepe and Southgate, and the other central defenders are substitute players.And Chen Ping personally introduced Thiago ***, it is obvious that he has high hopes for him.

So Julian Dix needs to weigh.

In the past few days, Julian Dix has been personally responsible for training Thiago ***.

"Like Pepe, he has good physical fitness and is a natural central defender. But at present, he has two problems. One of them is that he is seriously inexperienced. I know his career. He used to be a striker. From a young background, he has not had a few years to switch careers to play as a central defender. He is very inexperienced in this position."

"It's the same with Brazilian players."

Chen Ping nodded.

Said: "There is no development in the offensive position, and then he becomes a defensive player. Experience is something that takes time. Don't be afraid of this, you can let him adapt slowly. What about the second point?"

"This question is more complicated."

"Tell me."

"Confidence. I've been in contact with him these days and I think his self-confidence is seriously lacking. I think it has something to do with his failures in Portugal and Russia. Thiago *** has speed, body, and a bouncing header. Yes, it is possible to become an excellent central defender if he is trained carefully. But if his lack of self-confidence cannot be solved, then the player will be completely useless."

"confidence?"

Chen Ping fell silent immediately.

Thiago *** Chen Ping is very important.

This was later known as the number one central defender in world football.Of course, judging from his achievements, such praise is a bit high.Because he has not actually won any heavyweight championship in his career.But we can also see the strength of Thiago ***.

Chen Ping has also seen the statistics of Thiago ***, he is indeed a central defender with amazing potential.

But looking at it now, Thiago *** still has many problems.He's incompetent, he's inexperienced, that's not a problem.Speaking of which, when Pepe came to West Ham last summer, his strength was not as good as the current Thiago ***, and he was even more inexperienced than the current Thiago ***.After one season, it is not the same as West Ham's main central defender.

But this lack of self-confidence?

psychological problems.

It seems to be looking for an opportunity to talk to Thiago ***.

"what about others?"

"Martin Anthony, he has a lot of problems."

Julian Dix frowned and said: "Martin Anthony has always been very good in one-on-one defense, ranking first in our team. But he still has many problems in understanding defense. This time the new Martin Anthony's understanding and progress are almost the bottom of the defensive tactical training. Baines is a head ahead of him in this respect. Chen, defense is an overall thing, especially if you want to control space and divide space, that's even more important. In the overall situation, individual heroes are of little use. If Martin Anthony is still unable to grow in his understanding of new tactics, I suggest that Baines should be allowed to play in the new season."

"Ah."

Chen Ping nodded.

Looking at the training on the sidelines, he said: "Martin, his ability to understand is really slow. It was because of this problem that he was exiled to Oxford United. Back then, I let him play left midfielder and didn't let him practice anything else. Practice crossing. Even I don’t allow him to go in the middle, just let him stay on the side. After he gets used to crossing, let him learn how to run on the side. After playing like this for more than a year, He has become a relatively qualified winger. I will let him practice free kicks later. Be patient with him, his innate conditions are too good, it is a pity to waste."

"Innate conditions? Yes. Among our team, in terms of innate conditions, neither Lambert nor Pepe can compare to Martin Anthony. Martin Anthony has amazing physical fitness and a perverted speed."

Julian Dix nodded too.

Martin Anthony's physical condition is too good.

"Train like this first. During the training, Martin and Baines can take turns playing the main position."

"it is good."
