Chapter 1115 It's finally here!

What is the experience of participating in Gaohan’s first training class?

When the authoritative domestic party newspaper interviewed the national team's national team after the morning training class, the answers given by the forty internationals were surprisingly consistent, that was just one word, tired.

Like all training, Gao Han’s training class is controlled within 90 minutes and consists of multiple different small events. Each small event does not seem surprising, and it even gives people the feeling that it is not a very physically consuming project. It can be put together, but the international players are almost struggling to support the ninety minutes of training.

Many players even collapsed on the training ground after training and didn't want to get up at all.

But after a while of rest, they recalled the first training class in an interview with media reporters, but they felt very fulfilled when they were very compact and reasonable. Each project was linked one after another.

Buenaventura is definitely the world's top physical coach. He had already touched the physical condition of each player before the training camp and roughly understood it during the warm-up period, so he dared to come up with such a training program.

But what surprised the international players the most was that he attached great importance to ball training. Every training event, even every movement was carried with the ball. After ninety minutes of training, the players looked back and seemed to have no training completed without the ball, which reminded them of the media's reports on Gao Han.

Ball training has always been Gao Han's creed. He has always regarded ball control and running as more important than anything else. Therefore, his training characteristics are always based on ball training, even during physical fitness reserve training. This is definitely much more interesting compared to boring training in China such as running around the circle.

Not only training events, but also relaxing the team game, in fact, is very intense when you look back.

For example, the famous monkey walking game is not uncommon. Many international players often play in clubs, but Gao Han has higher requirements and smaller venues. In particular, it emphasizes that players must play with one kick, which is too much pressure for international players.

But because of the great pressure, each of them must be trembling during training, walking on thin ice, and not daring to relax or slack off at all. If you are not careful, you will be punished to enter the field and play tricks on your teammates.

But it is such a simple monkey walking game. When introducing the requirements, assistant coach Xiao Mu also specifically told the international players about the tricks, such as deliberately training on different pass lines, which can achieve different results.

During training, Gao Han still felt that their passes and receiving matches were too slow and they should continue to speed up.

If it were before, the international players would definitely not be convinced, but yesterday afternoon, after seeing the cooperation of an indoor football team composed of Gao Ren, Wang Lei, Zhao Jun and Yang Xin, and passing it skillfully and smoothly, they had to be convinced.

Compared with them, the international players' monkey walking speed is indeed slower and they make many mistakes.

In addition to the familiar relaxation game of Monkey Walking Game, the coaching team also specially gave another relaxation game project called Array Game.

In a rectangular field, eleven players wore vests of three different colors, four of them in red and yellow. One side stood on the periphery of the rectangular marking and passed the ball, the other side pressed inside the marking. Three white players were in a straight line at both ends of the rectangle and the center of the rectangle to maintain neutrality, supporting the ball support side. This training competes for who has the longer control of the ball.

But in addition to testing basic skills such as passing and receiving, the most important thing is the moment of offense and defense conversion.

After a ball handler makes a mistake in passing and receiving the ball, he must enter the marking area as soon as possible and invest in counter-grabbing. The original presser must withdraw from the area as soon as possible after grabbing the ball. This seemingly simple training actually has a very good effect on the players' on-site counter-grabbing and position selection and oppression, which will have a very good effect on the team's offensive and defensive transformation.

After walking through the ninety-minute training program in the morning, every player felt extremely fresh, very compact and fulfilling, but very tired, because they maintained great concentration almost all the time and devoted themselves to every training. This did not require supervision from the coaching staff. Once they slacked off, they would be punished immediately.

This kind of training gives them the feeling that they are about to be squeezed out of their last potential.

After the morning training class, every player dragged his exhausted body back to the locker room.

At noon, special nutrition experts have prepared different nutritional meals for the players to meet their high-intensity training needs.

After lunch break and before the afternoon training course, Gao Han organized another tactical analysis meeting. The first meeting was when Xiao Mu explained to everyone the array training to be conducted this afternoon. It was an enhanced version of the morning array game and spread to every player in the team.

At this time, the international players were surprised to find that every event arranged by the coaching staff was targeted and linked together, with the purpose of making them familiar with Gao Han’s tactical intentions as soon as possible.

Xiao Mu took the lead in posting a stadium area division map. If there are international players who pay close attention to the venue in the morning, it is easy to find that this picture is exactly the same as the markings of the training ground.

Gao Han’s requirement for the players is to engrave this picture firmly in his mind. He will train repeatedly in the next ten days so that every player can clearly know where the ball is in, what situations it encounters, where it should be passed, what method to pass, when the player should choose to run and respond, and where to run...

Gao Han has very detailed tactical requirements for all these details.

This is the first time that the international players have been exposed to such cumbersome tactical system requirements. They all heard them all over the place. They all missed all the mistakes in the afternoon training class, and the training effect was very insignificant.

However, Gao Han did not get angry, but encouraged the players after training, saying that the first time he came into contact with such a tactic would be very complicated, but then he gradually became familiar with it and sorted it out. Each player performed his own duties in the game, and the effect would be revealed.

But Gao Han also warned all international players that this is just a primary version, mainly to grasp the array, and the running response he sorted out is just the simplest and most direct routine that is most easily accepted by international players. If it is in the top European league, it will be ten times more complicated than it is now.

This also shocked the international players and said that they were not smart enough.

But I also admire Gao Han and the coaching team more sincerely.

…………

…………

After the first day of trying it out, the suffering of the international players was truly beginning.

In the next ten days, the national team only had two mornings off, and they visited the scenic spots in two cities, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and the rest of the time was immersed in the training camp of the national team.

What Gao Han grabbed the tightest was undoubtedly the team's array.

He is very clear that array is the basis of a team's skills and tactics. With the strength of the national football team, only by playing the whole can you win. Therefore, array is undoubtedly the top priority and is also the most stringent and tightest link he has grasped.

During the two weeks of national team training, the national football team suffered enough, but they all admire Gao Han and the coaching team. However, it is difficult for the media reporters and fans outside to get the details of the training camp. They can only evaluate the results through the training photos and news released by the Football Association every day.

Occasionally, several international players were interviewed by the media, and they all gave Gao Han and the coaching staff a high evaluation, believing that the training effect benefited them a lot, and also said that the team's atmosphere was well maintained and relatively relaxed.

This was also deliberately arranged by Gao Han. Steve Peters also tutored the psychological conditions of each player. Gao Han himself also repeatedly communicated privately with the forty international players to ensure that his ideas can be accurately conveyed to the players.

In a blink of an eye, two weeks of national team training passed by, and forty international players also ended the first training session after Gao Han took office. They all dispersed and returned to the club to prepare for the new season of the Chinese Super League.

After two weeks of getting along, Gao Han also had a general understanding of the international players. He and the coaching staff also carefully evaluated the strength and potential of each international player, especially Gao Han, who repeatedly examined the players with his keen eyes.

It can be said that Gao Han and the coaching staff have basically thought about the national team roster at the end of March, but it will not be announced until March. After all, he has to be wary of the national team's injuries in the league.

After two weeks of national team training, the Football Association held a press conference at the Guangzhou Chinatown Training Center. Gao Han once again accepted interviews from well-known domestic and foreign media. He said that he was satisfied with the training effect of this period of the national team, and also thanked the Football Association and various clubs for their strong support for the work of the national team.

"After two weeks of training, I have basically understood and mastered the situation of the national team, and have made me more familiar with my players. We have made good progress in cooperation. I am very satisfied with them and I believe that they will not disappoint me."

"There is still one month before the World Cup qualifiers. During this period, we still need to do a lot of work. Next, my team and I will go to major Chinese Super League stadiums to pay close attention to the movements of the domestic league and the performance of the international players. We will select the 25 players in the best shape before the March game."

In the end, Gao Han once again made a promise to all domestic fans that the national team will do their best to win the two games at the end of March.

Sure enough, in the following month, Gao Han once again became a flying man, shuttled back and forth across major Chinese Super League stadiums, becoming a unique landscape in the new season of the Chinese Super League.

In addition to watching the game on site and inspecting the players, Gao Han also took the opportunity to communicate with the head coaches of each team, discuss and analyze with the international players, which can help him understand the players' situation more deeply.

Time passed by bit by bit. In mid-March, Gao Han finally issued the final 25-man roster, basically covering the strongest and best-performing international players in various positions in China. Captain Zheng Zhi was once again selected and served as captain.

But what is surprising is that Gao Han once again recruited four young Chinese City players, including Gao Ren, Wang Lei, Zhao Jun and Yang Xin, as well as Zhang Yuning, who played in the Dutch Eredivisie and Wei Shihao, who played in the Portuguese Super League.

Among them, Zhang Yuning and Wei Shihao were both entrusted by Gao Han to special care. With the help of this agent's connections in European football, they helped them find suitable teams in the Dutch Eredivisie and the Portuguese Super League, and began to gain opportunities one after another.

As for how much development can be achieved in the future, it depends on their own efforts and luck.

After the new national team training session, Gao Han and the coaching staff have adjusted the players' physical fitness and condition more, and are also familiar with the arrays they practiced in February and are focused on preparing for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
