Football coach

Paris is the "City of Fashion".

However, among those who actually come to Paris* to travel, how many people have the so-called sense of fashion, and how many people have artistic pursuits.The common man knows very little about art.It can be said that tourists who come to Paris have heard others say that Paris is good, and that Paris is the "fashion capital", so they come to see it.

What do most tourists come to Paris for?

Look at some of the so-called historical relics, look at the so-called places of interest.After reading it, take a photo there to show that you have been here.Brag about it with your friends when you get a chance in the future.

In fact, most tourists, 90% of tourists have this mentality.

Not only Paris, but many other famous tourist destinations are like this. How many people have such things as fashion and art?Just like many people say to go to Tibet to cleanse their souls, most people actually just follow the crowd and go there because they see what others say is good, that's all.

Of course, in addition to sightseeing and taking photos, some people also come to buy things.

To put it bluntly, Chen Ping is also the same, he doesn't know much about the so-called fashion and art in Paris.Even if Yu Wei had heard it, she only knew the surface.Therefore, Chen Ping and Yu Wei mainly spent this day playing with their parents.

When you see a beautiful place, take a picture.

However, after being abroad for a long time, Chen Ping misses the large number of people in China.When I was in China before, I felt that there were too many people, too chaotic, and too lively.Now that I have been abroad for a long time, I don’t usually see many people. Instead, I miss the excitement in China.

People are stupid.

There are too many people in the country, but there are too few people abroad.There are not many people in the usual Paris joints.But because the Champions League final is approaching, there are more people on the street than usual.

We had lunch together, and Chen Ping returned to the hotel in the afternoon.Because this time I came to Paris not to play, but to play games.When Chen Ping goes back, he will take the team to adapt to the environment and prepare for the Champions League final.

2006*May 5th.

The day of the Champions League final in the 0506 season.

It has been raining since daytime, and it has been raining heavily.The rain continued to fall when Chen Ping and the West Ham players left the hotel and sat on the bus.

"Papapa——"

Raindrops kept beating on the windows of the bus.

Very loud sound.

Julian Dix frowned, and said to Chen Ping: "Chen, it's raining a bit heavy. No matter how good the drainage system of the court is, the court will probably be very slippery under such heavy rain. The game will be difficult to play."

The court is slippery and there are many problems.

If water accumulates, the ball will slow down.If there is no water accumulation and the turf is wet and slippery, the ball speed will increase.Anyway, playing football when it rains will be different from usual.West Ham has been preparing for this game for a long time, and now it is suddenly raining so much, it is very likely that a lot of preparations before the game will be wasted.

Chen Ping was also a little annoyed.

Such a heavy rain was indeed an unexpected factor, and it was not within Chen Ping's expectation at all.

However, Chen Ping was not as distressed as Julian Dix, but smiled and said: "It is Barcelona that should be troubled now, not us. We are in England. Isn't it normal to encounter rain? I am now They are all used to playing in rainy days, and our players should also be used to it. On the contrary, Barcelona is playing in La Liga. It should be that ** has encountered too many situations of playing in rainy days. It is estimated that they will not adapt to the current situation. Besides, their playing The style of the ball, they like the ground ball, they like to pass the ball, and the rain will be very bad for them."

The sudden heavy rain had a bad effect on Barcelona and West Ham.

But it depends on who is more unfavorable.

Obviously it is more unfavorable for Barcelona.Barcelona is the team that likes ground offense the most among the top European teams.Barcelona has been using ball possession tactics since Cruyff's time.Their style of play relies more on passing the ball on the ground and more on possession.Pass-oriented teams must have accurate passing in order to be able to exert their power.If you want to pass the ball accurately in rainy days, there will be many difficulties.Moreover, Barcelona played in La Liga and had too much experience in rainy games.So the impact on them must be great.

Compared with West Ham playing in England, it is not once or twice to play in the rain.And West Ham have never been a team with good possession of the ball.There is some impact, but not much.

"You are right."

"When something unexpected happens, don't panic. You have to analyze the pros and cons, maybe it's good for us."

This is the head coach.

The more unexpected the situation is, the less the head coach can panic.Once the head coach shows a little panic, the whole team will panic.The emotions of the head coach are easily transmitted to the players.

So at any time, the head coach must remain calm.

No matter what you think inside, even if you are panicking in your heart, you can't show it. You must give the players confidence outside.Therefore, when Julian Dix was a little anxious, Chen Ping let Julian Dix calm down first.

Seeing that Chen Ping was very calm, Julian Dix and other members of the coaching staff also calmed down slowly.

Chen Ping looked at the players in the back seat and found that these players also

They all looked out the window very worriedly.Their worries are the same as Julian Dix's, they are all worried that such heavy rain will affect the Champions League final.

West Ham entered the Champions League final, which is the first time in West Ham's history that they have played in the Champions League final.Including the current West Ham players, except for Van der Sar, everyone else has only ever played in the Champions League final.

Everyone is gearing up.

They all want to compete well and express themselves on such a stage.But now the sudden heavy rain has also affected their mentality, and everyone feels that it is not a good omen.Chen Ping did not dare to say anything, because now is not the time.Chen Ping began to prepare in his mind, how to mobilize these youngest players in the locker room.Let these players fight with high spirits.

On the way to the Stade de France, everyone was rather dull.The only sounds in the bus were the windows being battered by the rain.

It was really a heavy rain.

Very rare heavy rain, such heavy rain is even rarer in such an important game as the Champions League final.However, such heavy rain will not affect the enthusiasm of the fans at all.When the bus arrived at the Stade de France, the venue for the UEFA Champions League final, the fans who were still entering the stadium outside the stadium burst into cheers when they saw the bus coming.

England fans have always been known to be crazy.

West Ham fans in England are not famous, but notorious.

In the [-]s and [-]s, when British football hooligans were most active, West Ham football hooligans were famous in England.At that time, as long as you talk about English football hooligans, West Ham cannot escape.At that time, the football hooligans of West Ham and the football hooligans of Millwall, the sworn enemy, really fought at every turn.

There was even a melee of thousands of fans.

At that time, the most famous football hooligans in West Ham was the organization of the South Stand Thugs. These people followed West Ham almost every game.And after watching every game, they will fight with others.They don't care who their opponent is, as long as they are unhappy, they will fight.Even in the history of English football, No.1 was the famous West Ham football hooligan who went to prison for organizing football hooligans.

Even the film based on England hooligans, the story is based on the West Ham hooligans.

This is West Ham.

Although after the Heysel tragedy, England began to vigorously rectify these football hooligans.It can be said that the current so-called English football hooligans are really nothing compared to the [-]s and [-]s.

But even so, West Ham fans still have a bad reputation in English football.Because among the more civilized fans, West Ham fans still make troubles at every turn, and fights happen from time to time.It's just that the [-]s and [-]s made a lot of noise.

Such a group of fans came to Paris, which really worried the Paris police.

The Paris police are very worried that the football hooligans of West Ham will make trouble in Paris.Not to mention anything else, compared to Barcelona fans, many of the West Ham fans are shirtless, and they don't look easy to mess with.Moreover, West Ham football hooligans are notorious. The entire European football world may not know West Ham football hooligans, but West Ham football hooligans are well-known far and wide.So the police are really on the lookout.Football hooligans are also the craziest fans.Therefore, after the West Ham bus arrived at the Stade de France, West Ham fans immediately surrounded the team bus.

Cheers non-stop.

Chen Ping led the West Ham players and waved to these West Ham fans.Every time a player came out of the bus, they chanted his name.Because there was a match, Chen Ping wasted time here, but soon entered the Stade de France.

Let the players adapt to the court before the game.

It didn't rain in Paris yesterday, but with such heavy rain today, the stadium will feel different.Therefore, Chen Ping needs the players to re-adapt to the court.Only then did Chen Ping realize that there was still a long time before the match, and the Stade de France was almost full.

The Stade de France was built by France for the 98* French World Cup.

Big stadium for 8* people.

Such a large stadium is basically full, and one can imagine how much the fans are looking forward to this game.

"how is the situation?"

"The court is in good condition, and the drainage system is very advanced. There is no water accumulation in the entire court, but the turf is very slippery. I just tried it, and the ball can go a long way on the turf without much force."

"It's better than water on the pitch."

Chen Ping and Julian Dix discuss the situation on the pitch.

Chen Ping had to confirm some things himself before Chen Ping could adjust his tactics.The sudden heavy rain, and such heavy rain, directly affected the tactical deployment of this game.

"Chen, passing the ball in this game is indeed easy to make mistakes, and it is much more difficult to control the ball. But defense is even more difficult. If there is a slight problem, the defensive player is easily injured."

"Ah."

The turf is slippery, and defensive players are easily shaken.

Also prone to strain.

Julian Dix was Chen Ping's assistant coach, and he told Chen Ping everything that might happen in this game.Only in this way can Chen Ping make the best judgment.

"Let's play then. Let's see who has the better attack, us or Barcelona."
