Football God.

People's impression of Guti, apart from his handsomeness, is the iconic blond hair.

Many Europeans have blond hair when they are young, and the hair color will become heavier and heavier when they grow up, and finally turn black or brown.

But Guti's hair is still blond, sometimes with a headband, sometimes without it, and when he runs, the blond hair flutters, which is particularly eye-catching, like a golden wolf galloping on the grassland.

As for players working part-time as assistant coaches, it is also common.

Leaving aside, let's just talk about Makelele, who is almost becoming the coach of the B team now, isn't he still occupying a position at one point, and occasionally playing games?

This kind of operation is a bit unbelievable in other teams, but in Leeds United, it is a routine operation, so it is no surprise.

But what really surprised the fans is that the Guti they saw in the official announcement this time seems to be different from what they saw on TV...

The expected half-length blond hair has been cut short, and it looks very refreshing. Although it does not hinder the handsome face, but at a glance, Guti seems to have grown up suddenly.

From the little boy who liked to grow his hair before, he suddenly became a big man.

In particular, this picture shows him shaking hands with Heinrich holding the assistant coaching contract. Guti's smile is very gentle, which makes the fans a little confused.

Heinrich smiled at the photo: "Your suggestion is very good, ask Redondo to take a photo of him, look, his expression is in place."

Kaka smiled faintly, with a face full of achievements and fame.

On the other hand, Nedved was a little strange: "Boss, why did you sign the assistant contract with Guti so early?"

In Nedved's view, it was after his retirement that his coach "cheated" himself.

Signing a contract with Makelele, because Makelele was old at the time, and the French defender will retire after the end of this season, so in order to make Makelele feel at ease, arranging a way for him is also a means of recruiting.

But although Guti is not young anymore, he is still in his prime and has no problem with his ability. Why did he sign an assistant coaching contract with him?

Heinrich's expression was calm: "It's nothing, he proposed it himself, I'm just meeting the reasonable demands of the players."

Nedved didn't quite understand the reason, but Kaka silently looked at the ceiling.

reason?

Isn't it because assistant coaches and players often don't sit together, there are always a few people in between.

Even if Redondo is promoted to the first team, Guti can't sit with Redondo when he is on the bench.

Well now, Guti solved the problem for himself.

Once the contract is signed, no one will care about them even if they sit on top of each other.

The blond-haired man almost had the words "I'm Redondo's fanboy" engraved on his forehead, making others watch him all the time.

Heinrich is not like a good neighbor like Kaka, who always knows the situation of those two. For Heinrich, this is a simple job exchange.

It's good to let Guti get in touch with some tactical things in advance, there is no harm for Guti.

Because Guti came later, there is no place for him in the team captain. Now that he is an assistant coach, Guti cannot be absent from every pre-match meeting. Heinrich is happy to see the results, and he will naturally agree.

But for this meeting, Heinrich did not let Guti come over, but only called Nedved and Kaka.

These two, one of the assistant coaches is mainly responsible for the training and management of the midfielders, and the other is the player who maintains the most full attendance in the midfield. The reason why Heinrich called them is undoubtedly the relationship with Leeds United. Midfield grooming matters.

Turning on the big screen behind him, Heinrich said: "I watched the last few games, and the team's offensive method is a bit single. Most of them are from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and there are a lot of direct passes."

Kaka nodded, her expression became serious.

Now several of their defenders have learned the essence of long passing.

Except for Cannavaro who usually doesn't rush forward too much, the other players are either pressing or assisting, and they are very busy during the game.

But this creates a problem, the midfield organization is useless.

But this is not because the backcourt is trying to overtake them, but because there are some detailed problems in the midfield sorting.

Heinrich looked at Kaka, smiled and said, "Ricardo, tell me your opinion."

Kaka pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "I think that now we have a surplus of midfielders, but their usual positions are not fixed, and it is easy to cause confusion in some running positions."

In midfield, in addition to sorting out the game and passing key balls, he also has to contribute his own strength in defense in many cases.

They are a barrier for midfield interception, even if they cannot form a real interception for opposing players, they must at least pose some threats.

It's just that it is difficult for Leeds United's midfielder to do this now.

There are even a few players whose defense is about equal to none.

Kaka didn't say too much, but said tactfully: "It should be that sometimes he loses his position, gets through the middle, and when the pressure on the back line is heavy, he will naturally run in the backcourt subconsciously. At that time, the long pass Naturally there will be more.”

Leeds are to be commended for threatening and even scoring with these long balls.

But this is not a good phenomenon, because the goal caused by the long pass, in addition to the player's personal ability, means that the opponent's defense must have loopholes.

But what they have to face is not only the Premier League teams, but also the Champions League.

If Leeds United wants to score points in the Premier League and achieve results in the Champions League, the midfield problem will naturally be put on the table.

Heinrich pointed his finger on the table and exhaled: "Originally, I recruited midfielders to solve the problem of Leeds United's occasional lack of organization in offense. But now it seems that there are many good players, and we need more players." There is more to think about.”

Defense is the dirty work on the court.

No one will do it willingly. Everyone wants highlights and goals. Leeds United is now going smoothly. Its advantages will be strengthened, and its shortcomings will be weakened.

Heinrich cannot be paralyzed by good grades, on the contrary, he must make changes.

So, on this afternoon, Heinrich spent a full three hours pulling Nedved and Kaka together to formulate a training plan for the midfielders.

On the training ground, the players still don't know that the next period of devil training is coming.

James has now been able to integrate into the team very well. From the original shy Colombian kid to the future core midfielder who always smiles silly in the team, James had a qualitative change. Metamorphosis.

And the one who has the best relationship with him is not these companions in the midfield, but Andy.

Andy always likes to drag James to train together. Both of them are midfielders with similar subjects, so there are many opportunities to get together.

Today, after Andy and James finished shooting practice together, the two returned to the locker room together.

"If you are free later, let's play games together. I just received a very collectible game console a few days ago." Andy asked James with a smile.

As an aristocratic boy, Andy doesn't like the modern game consoles, but is interested in some game products that were eliminated more than ten years ago.

Sometimes, he can even play Tetris for a long time.

If it were someone else, James would definitely agree, but Andy has a good relationship with him, so James didn't care so much: "If it's Tetris or Snake, we'd better switch to FIFA. "

Andy looked at him in surprise: "How do you know it's Tetris?"

James: ...So, it really is.

While joking, they pushed open the door of the locker room.

As soon as he entered, he saw Jack lying on Schmeichel's back, looking at his locker.

This made Andy and James lean over curiously.

In the past, Schmeichel's locker was a spectacle of Leeds United.

There are always some photos of other outstanding young goalkeepers in there. As long as Heinrich has praised people, Schmeichel will find one and stick it in the door to remind himself at all times.

James thought there was a newcomer here, but when he looked closer, he found a complete set of yoga equipment in Schmeichel's place.

Yoga clothes, yoga straps, and shoes specially prepared for practicing yoga.

Jack didn't notice that someone was watching with him, so he just smiled and said to Schmeichel: "Casper, aren't you already able to perfect the draw? Why are you still learning?"

Schmeichel replied indifferently: "Some things must be persisted. Only by exercising can you find a better physical condition, and saving fire can also reduce injuries."

Jack actually didn't quite understand, but he still nodded solemnly: "Oh, good."

But Andy looked at James: "If it were you, go to practice this, would you like to?"

James imagined the scene, then shook his head resolutely.

In fact, I usually see Schmeichel doing splits from time to time in order to save and prevent the ball from entering the net. The first reaction of all players is leg pain, followed by unspeakable obstacles.

As if to strengthen his statement, James said: "I will never practice this, never!"

But at the end of the day's training, Heinrich called the whole team.

The purpose of this time is naturally to issue requirements for midfielders to strengthen their physical fitness and defensive hardness, but there are some things that they cannot do alone.

That's all for the goalkeeper, he is the one who is different in the team, and it is normal that the training methods are different.

The other players should try to be together as much as possible.

Share the blessings and share the difficulties.

Therefore, when Heinrich announced that "after the next Champions League match against Inter Milan, the whole team will increase yoga training subjects", everyone first looked at Schmeichel in unison, and then wailed.

Only Hames lowered his head and suddenly reached out and patted his mouth.

This startled Guti on the side: "Hames, what's wrong with you?"

James didn't answer, just thinking silently——

Last time it was Guti and Kaka, but this time it was me. It seems that we still have to be cautious in our words and deeds in the locker room in the future.

Otherwise, what to say, what is it, my locker room is poisonous!
