Chapter 1029 Can It Be Compared?
When Fang Wei mobilized the club's executives in the capital to convey Yang Huan's meaning, the main master, Young Master Huan, appeared in Milan, Italy.
With the formalization of the operation and management of several clubs, Yang Huan needs to intervene less and less.
This is also normal, because he is the boss, if he always oversteps the level and meddles, then how can the employees under him be rectified?
Therefore, he basically just needs to convey his thoughts now, and how to do it, the people under him will naturally help him complete it, and he only needs to review the results.
Because of this, Young Master Huan is quite idle, and whenever he has time, he walks everywhere, and he has a good time.
But while walking around, he didn't forget about business.
No, by watching the Milan derby in Milan City, witnessing Inter Milan's 3-0 away victory over AC Milan, and winning 16 consecutive victories, Yang Huan smiled from ear to ear and happily rewarded the players in the locker room.
And after the game, Young Master Huan pulled Bielsa, the technical director of the Beijing Guoen team, and appeared in the luxurious box on the third floor of Tingyuxuan in the blue and black city, welcoming the guests he had been waiting for for a long time.
"Hello, Mauricio!"
When this middle-aged man wearing a thick down jacket and a slightly chubby body walked into the box under the guidance of the waiter, Yang Huan and Bielsa both stood up at the same time, and Young Master Huan immediately greeted him with a smile and stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Young Master Huan!" The person who came was a little flattered, and quickly stretched out his hands to hug Young Master Huan's right hand.
"It's really nice to meet you, Mauricio, you know, Marcelo has always told me that you are the best player he has ever brought out and that you will definitely be the best manager, and I have no doubt about his vision!" Yang Huan laughed.
When Mauricio Pochettino heard this, he immediately looked at his mentor Bersa, who was standing beside Young Master Huan, and his grateful eyes were overflowing, but he didn't say anything, and walked over directly and gave Bielsa an intimate and warm hug.
Seeing the two like this, Yang Huan deeply felt the friendship between them, but for some reason, he couldn't help but think of another thing in his mind, an unbearable past about Pochettino.
It is said that when Bielsa was coaching Newell's Old Boys team, he wanted to sign Pochettino, so he ran to Pochettino's house overnight, but Pochettino's mother said that her son was already asleep, or naked, and Bielsa said that it was good to sleep naked, just to see his physical condition.
So, Bielsa pushed the door directly into the room, lifted the quilt, and exclaimed, saying that he was in great health!
Well, Yang Huan thinks that this may be arranged by the news media in order to make big news, but it clearly reflects the friendship between Bielsa and Pochettino.
In fact, Pochettino later entered the Argentine national team, which was also promoted by his mentor Bielsa.
The relationship between the two is not insignificant, and Pochettino travelled to England several times during Bielsa's time in charge of Southampton.
If you really want to count, Pochettino can be regarded as Bielsa's most descendant after Martino.
Of course, because of the baptism of the European professional league, Pochettino's football philosophy is somewhat different from Bielsa's, he should be more rational and pay more attention to balance, but the pursuit in his bones is exactly the same.
For a long time, from Inter Milan to Hamburg to Monaco, Pochettino was one of Yang Huan's candidates when selecting a coach, and Bielsa also admired him.
Yang Huan remembered that when he traveled in his previous life, Pochettino did a good job in the Premier League, and he was not outstanding.
But now, perhaps because of Yang Huan's arrival that changed history, the trip to Southampton, which was supposed to bring Pochettino's career turnaround, did not appear at all, so Pochettino coached other teams after the Spaniard's dismissal, but it was very short and the results were not ideal.
But that didn't stop Yang Huan and his team from appreciating Pochettino.
If you are an ordinary fan, you will definitely feel that Pochettino has no coaching level at all, and even has fallen to the point that no one cares, how can such a manager be favored by Yang Huan?
But in the eyes of Young Master Huan, the problem should not be seen like this.
The success of a team depends on a combination of many factors, and the head coach is only one part of it, but not all of them.
It's like Pochettino's coaching of Espanyol, it was successful at first, but then it didn't, why?
Because the club sold several players, cashed out, but did not succeed in filling the vacancies of the players, the manager can do very limited at this time, and leaving the class because of poor results is more like a black pot.
Again, isn't it purely self-inflicted on the management of a pass-and-control coach like Mauricio Pochettino to coach a power team made up of big black players?
So, many times, the success or failure of a manager is not as simple as ordinary fans see.
If heroes are really judged only by success or failure, then who hasn't failed?
After looking at Pochettino's resume and his coaching situation, Yang Huan can basically determine that the manager's ability is no problem, and even in the past years of coaching career, he has been constantly refining his football philosophy, and he has a lot of coaching experience, and he can always find a series of reliable solutions when encountering problems.
All he lacks is opportunity!
However, for a coach like him who has been in the middle and lower reaches of the team for a long time, it is really, very difficult to get a stable and relaxed coaching environment, and at the same time meet a team that meets his tactical philosophy.
This has caused him to be displaced and depressed in the past few years.
Therefore, as soon as he received a call from Young Master Huan, coupled with the strong recommendation of his mentor Bielsa, Pochettino knew that this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.
As long as he can coach well in China, he will definitely have the opportunity to land in the European League again and coach Haoqiang.
Southampton, Monaco, Hamburg, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, these are now the leaders of the five major leagues, all of them are young master Huan's teams, and any coach can help Pochettino become famous, and even establish the title of first-line coach in one fell swoop.
Therefore, Pochettino willingly accepted Young Master Huan's invitation to coach in China.
"Young Master Huan, this is a plan that I have carefully prepared in the past month or so."
Pochettino took out two documents from the briefcase he was carrying with him and handed them to Yang Huan and Bielsa respectively.
The former is the boss and the examiner, while the latter is the technical director of Jingcheng Guoen, which is the head coach's top boss.
Yang Huan took it, opened it and took a look, and found that all kinds of training and management details were listed very clearly and meticulously.
For example, in the pre-season training camp, Pochettino admitted that his tactics are physically demanding, so he needs to increase the intensity of training, and during the training camp in Spain, he will resolutely adopt a three-day training camp, each training session is 90 minutes.
But if that's all there is to it, that's fine, he even laid out the content of the training camp and every training arrangement.
For example, based on his own tactical characteristics and past coaching experience, he felt that a long-distance run before the end of each training session would help improve the physical condition of the players, so he decided to arrange such a training.
Of course, this is only a pre-season training camp, and once the league starts, there will definitely be adjustments.
At that time, he will appropriately reduce the amount of training according to the schedule of the schedule, but he will not relax the requirements for the physical reserve of the players.
As part of this plan, he also proposed a desire to introduce Southampton's training equipment, including a full team video recording and analysis system.
At this point, Yang Huan was not surprised, because this whole set is a treasure, and everyone who has used it says it is good.
If nothing else, Bielsa needless to say, he went to the capital to work as a technical director, but he was obsessed with the Saints' set, Tuchel, Simeone, Klopp, Ronald Koeman, this group of guys is used to it, once they leave, it is guaranteed that they are all difficult to adapt.
After closing the plan, Yang Huan glanced at Bielsa, who also finished reading it and nodded.
Master and apprentice are master and apprentice, Bielsa is the technical director, and he has to think about his own career.
Besides, his relationship with Young Master Huan is also very close, and the cooperation and trust he has established over the years is no joke, especially the kindness that Young Master Huan has for him.
"Okay, Mauricio, I really agree with your training plan, especially the intensity, but I want to say that there are a few veterans in the team, and you have to analyze the situation on a case-by-case basis."
Pochettino nodded in understanding.
Every team has its own special circumstances, and as a manager, he can only be accommodating.
And in this situation, after the team is renewed, it is very necessary to have veterans including Xu Yunlong and Zhou Ting to help the new coach and new management stabilize the morale of the army.
If you can't even do something like that, then Pochettino shouldn't mess around.
Yang Huan feels that high-intensity training is not necessarily a bad thing.
Many people think that the low level of domestic football is due to the lack of strength of the players, but is this really the case?
If you want to compare a big-name superstar like Messi, that's for sure, there is only one Messi in the world, just one Ibrahimovic, can it be compared?
But if you want to compare the mainstream professional players in Europe's top five leagues, it is not that the strength of the players is not enough.
So what is the reason?
The overall awareness of the players is not enough!
To give a simple example, if in Europe, a team composed of 11 people can play the effect of 11 people or even more people on the court through reasonable tactics and team cooperation, then in China, because of the looseness in this aspect, let alone 11 people, even the effect of 8 people may not be able to be played.
Throughout the history of Chinese players studying abroad, almost all the failed cases are not because the players are not individual enough, but because they can't cooperate with the team, can't integrate into the collective battle, and can't become a part of the team.
In this case, the European coach's approach is to choose a player who is less capable individually, but who can fit into the team as a whole, rather than let that player destroy the team's integrity.
Therefore, many fans think that the biggest problem for Chinese players to stay abroad is the lack of personal ability, which is actually wrong.
The real problem is that the players are not tactical and team-friendly enough.
Pochettino's proposal to increase the usual training intensity, Yang Huan is very supportive.
The overall combat ability of the team is often accumulated by training in peacetime.
One of the main reasons why he chose Mauricio Pochettino and Bielsa is that they are in line with the most advanced tactical trends, and they are committed to holistic football and teamwork.
As for what to say, can the domestic players understand the manager's tactical philosophy?
Yang Huan was not worried at all.
People who are truly capable are often able to explain some very advanced theories in a simple way.
So, whether the players can understand it or not, it's not a question, it's a question of whether you have the stuff as a manager?
Yang Huan believes that Bielsa has enough dry goods, and Pochettino is not bad.
"Young Master Huan, I wonder if I can make a suggestion?" Pochettino looked at Yang Huan with stubbornness in his eyes.
