Chapter 58: Lesson 1(1/2)
Gao Han is lucky. In the past few days, the weather in Madrid has been good, and the training is going on as usual.
After some exchanges, the players' mental outlook improved significantly during the afternoon training class.
They all came to the training ground early and warmed up consciously.
When they saw that the training ground of the entire standard venue was covered with white lines, they were all curious.
What is this to do?
With doubts, the training began.
The first item is routine training, one-on-four.
In a square area with a length of three meters, four players stand at four corners. They can only move on the white line and cannot enter the area. They walk their teammates in the area to pass the ball. Whoever passes it will go down to be a monkey.
After ten minutes of training, he turned to two-on-eight, and was walking the monkeys, but this time, eight players formed a circle, and two players were responsible for grabbing the ball in the circle.
After ten minutes of two-on-eight, there is a four-on-four in the penalty area. One side passes and the other side grabs it. After grabbing the ball, it will automatically turn into the ball control. Passing over fifteen feet will score one point, and the ball will change hands when it goes out of bounds.
These training events are very ordinary and nothing special. They are often trained to train players' basic skills and kick the ball, and to adjust the players' tacit understanding and teamwork awareness.
The time is ten minutes, and the training intensity is not very high.
But in the eyes of the players, Gao Han is obviously different from the previous two coaches, and even earlier Atletico Madrid.
He attaches great importance to ball balls, and all training events are ball training.
Other head coaches, especially those like Zambrano, have many off-ball training programs.
All professional players who can base themselves on the top European leagues, both physically and technically, can fully adapt to the different training and tactical requirements of different types of head coaches, the difference is just whether they can perform at the best level.
At the beginning of this training class, Gao Han clearly told the players what they wanted.
After completing the first phase of the three training events, the players were able to rest.
But soon, the training entered the second stage, with group confrontation.
According to convention, before group confrontation, training vests are distributed first, with eleven people in each group, and the remaining substitutes.
But at this moment, something happened that surprised everyone.
The main center Salva received a vest representing the substitute, but the Spanish center seemed not surprised at all, with anger on his face, and snatched the vest from Cantalero very hard, but it didn't happen. It seemed that he was mentally prepared.
What's going on?
Could it be that he couldn't reach an agreement with the new coach?
Looking at Gao Han again, I found that the 23-year-old new coach had a calm and composed look, as if he didn't take Salva seriously at all, which made many players secretly shocked.
The new official takes office for three fires!
This first game actually hit Salva, the team's scoring champion. Who dares to underestimate other players?
When the vest was split, the coaching staff also completed the arrangement of the training ground.
The two half-fields of the entire training ground are covered with clear white lines, which divide the entire training ground into many different areas, large or small, square or narrow.
Gao Han stood in the area of the white line and told the players step by step how to train.
"These areas represent your running range. No one can exceed the area, otherwise it will be considered a violation."
"Also, you must remember that the ball reaches the feet of your teammates, and every player around you must run, keeping the distance between you and your teammates at ten to fifteen meters. If the distance is too long, it will be considered a foul."
"In this half, you can only pass the ball with one foot, and once the ball passes through the half, the offensive side can play freely."
"Remember one thing, trust is very important. Don't panic and not be confused by the players holding the ball. You have to trust your teammates, they will definitely come to pick you up, and the players who pick up must also trust your teammates, and they will definitely pass the ball."
After saying this, Gao Han clapped his palm vigorously.
"Okay, you can go to your area to get familiar with it first, and the training will begin soon."
The players were stunned.
What kind of training is this?
Everyone knows that on the football field, defense pays attention to order, and offense depends on creativity.
But Gao Han has now turned around and has to restrict the offensive side and give the defensive side the right to move freely. What is the reason?
With a whistle sounded and group offensive and defensive training began, you can see that the ball-holding attacker was not very suitable for such rules and restrictions. Whether it was the main force or the substitute, players often went out of bounds.
As soon as it goes out of bounds, the whistle sounds, the foul is foul, and the ball rights change hands.
The player is too far from his teammates and he is fouled.
The distance between the three lines was widened and the foul was fouled.
Some players were too sticky to the ball, failed to pass the ball in time, and fouled.
...
Part-time referee Cantalero stared at the court, selfless and merciless.
As a result, whistles came one after another, and the scene seemed very chaotic.
"Be careful, be careful, don't go out of bounds, don't go beyond your own range and area, do you understand?"
"You should observe your teammates around you more, don't worry about those defending people. As long as you plan the ball route in advance, no matter how many people you are guarding against, it is just a decoration, a paper tiger, and it's useless!"
"Distance, distance, and the players who are receiving should pay attention to keeping their distance."
"Don't let the ball stay at your feet. Once you stick the ball, you'll be stared to death. One more kick will be used."
"Everyone runs, don't stand, you will have a chance and a response point when you run."
"Hey, Xavi, this kick is passing well, pass more of this kind of ball."
"David, there is still a back left if you don't have the opportunity ahead. Don't waste opportunities blindly. We are not passing the ball for the sake of passing the ball."
"Torres, you leave it in front of me. Did you hear that, you ran out of the area!"
"Hey, Antonio, are you on the left, what are you doing in the middle of the run? You don't need it there!"
"The central defender, central defender, and central defender still have such a large space in front, why don't you put it on?"
"Yes, it's okay, there is a goalkeeper behind him, please pass it back."
"Beautiful, Tony, you are the goalkeeper. After receiving the ball, you should pay attention to passing the ball to both sides."
"Oh, please, Ugo, you don't need to break through, pass, pass, do you understand?"
There is one thing that is very true. No matter how much you say, it is better to do it with real swords and guns.
When he really got to the football field and actually operated it, Gao Han truly realized how difficult it is to play smoothly even in Spain with delicate technical skills.
Soon, he had to temporarily stop training.
“Sergio.”
"Come!" Garcia ran over immediately.
Gao Han gestured at the two white lines in the area where the two full-backs were located, "Go, take the training cone and line up these two lines, so that the full-backs can easily leave the wing."
"Okay." Garcia went to do it immediately.
After the explanation, Gao Han looked at the player again, "Wait a minute, two full-backs, Antonio and Juan, I don't want to see you go out of bounds again. Your duty is to be on the sidelines, and the middle of the line has nothing to do with you."
Captain Aguilera is the right back and smiles bitterly, "Sir, we..."
"I know what you mean. When you see that your teammates are in trouble, you have to go and deal with it, right?"
Aguilera didn't answer, but nodded, he really thought so.
"So I just said, trust and trust your teammates, just as your teammates trust you."
Aguilera didn't say anything more.
"Hugo."
"Sir." Ugo Leyal agreed.
"I said that passing is not a breakthrough, I have to teach you a lesson!"
After saying that, Gao Han looked at the whole team, "From now on, the main team is not allowed to pass the ball to Ugo within the half of the team, but when entering the opponent's half, try to pass the ball to Ugo. Do you understand?"
The players of the main team understand.
There is really nothing to say about Ugo Leyal's personal breakthrough, but the problem is that he is always too obsessed with his ability in this area, so that as soon as he gets the ball, he thinks to break through, which slows down the speed of the ball.
After Gao Han finished explaining these things, Sergio Garcia had already brought the staff to put a row of training cones on the two white lines between the two full-backs and the middle players.
"Ok, training starts over, remember what I said, position, trust, patience, and a pass."
It turns out that every player who can gain a foothold in the top European leagues can quickly understand the head coach's intentions and play the football the head coach wants.
Especially for Atletico Madrid, a group of experienced players.
After the chaos at the beginning, the players gradually mastered the tricks of Gao Han's group confrontation training, and the training became more and more smooth. From time to time, they could pass it several consecutive kicks to win applause.
As the training becomes more and more skillful, the players are gradually understanding the benefits of this kind of training.
In particular, this set of training methods is also working with Gao Han’s tactical formation of four, three, one and two.
After a training class, Gao Han was very satisfied with the effect.
