Chapter 1038 It's Normal to Lose, It's Not Normal to Win

Although Yang Huan couldn't stay with the team for too long in Barcelona because he also had a lot of things to do, he still spent three days with the team in his busy schedule and participated in the team's training camp throughout the whole process.

And in the past three days, he has had in-depth exchanges with the four foreign players in the team, a number of local players, and employees of some important positions in the club.

He can see that everyone's perception of Pochettino is quite good, although there is no legendary worship, but at least he does not resist and will not block the manager, and even many players think that the coach who volunteered to be the team's tour guide, led a group tour of Barcelona, and even had a good time, pulled the players to take selfies, in fact, is a good person.

As for the four foreign players, they may have communicated with Pochettino, and they are all from European professional football, so they all support Pochettino and say that they will fully cooperate with the Argentine coach.

From Yang Huan's three days, what he has learned shows that Pochettino's start in the capital Guoen is still very good.

However, the real hard days were after Young Master Huan left.

According to Pochettino's training plan, in the past few days, the main training items have been mainly adjusted.

After all, the players have experienced a long vacation, and their physical condition is definitely not ideal, and it was even found that many players' physical data are seriously exceeded, so it is impossible for Pochettino to directly go to a large number of them as soon as he comes up.

However, after the adjustment stage, three practices a day, 90 minutes per training session, and high-intensity training against time, which is enough to make all the players in the team cry and cry for their mothers, and they are ravaged one by one.

During this period of time, domestic fans also kept learning from WeChat, Weibo and media interviews that the miserable situation of the players in the training camp of the Beijing Guoen team, and even the captain Xu Yunlong said in an interview with a reporter from the Beijing Daily that this was the most cruel training camp he had ever experienced.

No one knows what happened to Jingguo En, who is far away in Europe, but judging from the reactions of the players, it seems that they have been ravaged so badly, could it be that the Argentine coach is really so terrifying?

In? As a result, many unscrupulous media in China began to hype, thinking that Pochettino had no ability, ignoring the specific situation of Chinese players, blindly loading a large number of players, and conducting strong training, resulting in complaints from the players in the team.

Some media pointed out that many players in the Beijing Guoen team have complained about Pochettino, and once the team has poor results or contradictions, they will rebel as soon as possible.

Some media even broke the news that the new coach of Jingcheng Guoen was too partial to big-name foreign aid in training and treated the players unfairly, which led to many internal contradictions in the team.

Today it is an insider who comes out to disclose, tomorrow it is a certain player who comes out to accuse, and the day after tomorrow it is a certain high-level who secretly tells reporters.

This series of reports from the domestic media made it seem as if the capital Guoen was dying.

Even many fans of Beijing Guoen are worried, but before the league is played, the team itself will cripple itself.

But at this time, a reporter with the team followed Beijing Guoen to Barcelona to launch a special report.

In this report, not only did he introduce in detail the situation of Jingguo En's training camp in Barcelona, but also interviewed many players, as well as the club's management and staff.

From these reports, all fans who care about the Beijing Guoen team can generally feel that the club still recognizes Pochettino very much, although the Argentine coach's training intensity is very high, but the effect is very good and targeted.

Although it is difficult for domestic players to fully meet Pochettino's requirements due to the influence of various aspects, after a series of high-intensity training, the players have generally responded that they have gained a lot and made great progress.

Zhang Xizhe, a young player in the team, said in an interview that through Pochettino's guidance, he has a deeper understanding of his responsibilities on the pitch and how to better serve the team as a whole.

Another youngster, Zhang Chengdong, also said that Pochettino is indeed a very promising manager and has helped him a lot.

'At the beginning, he asked me to play at right-back, which I didn't really like, but in training I gradually realized that it was a really good challenge for me to play in this position and I started to like it a little bit.

Not only for manager Mauricio Pochettino, but also for several big stars in the team, the players are also very high.

Captain Xu Yunlong said, "A superstar is a superstar, I face Ibrahimovic, let alone a person, neither of us can prevent him, he is so tall and strong, but his skills are so flexible and skillful, I can't tell that he is in his thirties at all." ”

"And John Terry, I often partner with him in training, and at first I didn't think he was any different, and sometimes I even felt that the so-called world-class centre-back was nothing more than that.

"But later, one time, I was in a different group with him, and I suddenly realized that when I thought he didn't do anything, he actually did a lot, and even his every move on the training ground was very meaningful."

"After the training session, I asked him, and he told me that really good defense is not to wait until the opponent enters his own defense zone, or even wait until the opponent is close, and then make a response, but a really good defense should be to resolve the crisis before the opponent enters his own defense zone and does not form a direct threat."

"It's easy to say, but in reality, it's hard to do."

"Later, I told Xiao Lei, Xiao Lang and Xiao Zhao about them, and I told them that following Terry is not only to learn his training attitude and work ethic, but also to learn his defensive awareness and experience, which is too helpful for them to grow."

It's not just Terry, Ibrahimovic has also made this group of players in the country full of praise.

Especially the frontcourt attackers Wu Lei and Zhang Xizhe are even more impressed by Ibrahimovic and Kaka.

If the domestic media were questioning Pochettino's inability to control the big names and local players in the team, with the fresh release of this report by the Emperor of the Football, the wind of public opinion immediately turned around.

But what was really convincing was the five warm-up matches played by Kyung-gyoshi in Barcelona.

Considering that the team had just trained, the warm-up match was scheduled in the second half of the set.

As a result, in these five warm-up games, Jingguo Yen faced teams of the level of CSKA Moscow and Shakhtar Donetsk, which are not very good in Europe, but at least they are in the middle of the table.

In the first warm-up game, Jingguo En lost 1-3 to CSKA Moscow.

This game, the domestic WeChat video was also broadcast live, and all fans noticed that although the result of the game was very unsatisfactory, the Beijing Guoen team held the initiative for most of the game.

However, the team is reorganized, and the players are unfamiliar with each other, especially between foreign players and local players, and it is difficult to coordinate the rhythm with each other.

After the match, Pochettino gave his first interview to the domestic media, in which he said that the loss was not unexpected, and he did not think it was a bad thing, on the contrary, he felt that he was happy with the problems that were exposed in the game.

'For the warm-up games, I told the players not to care about the results, the most important thing is to play what we have.

"In fact, everybody could see that we played our own thing in the game."

Domestic fans are also very satisfied with the performance of Beijing Guoen's first warm-up game, especially the momentum shown in the game, as well as the tactical style of pressing and pressing in the high position.

With Zlatan Ibrahimovic up front, Kaka partnering Xavi Alonso in midfield and John Terry at the back, the entire central axis of the capital is outstanding, and the domestic players, led by four foreign players, basically played the tactics that Pochettino wanted.

Losing is normal, winning is not normal.

In the second game against Shakhtar Donetsk, Jingcheng Guoen lost again, 1-2.

Ibrahimovic scored two goals in two rounds, resulting in two defeats for the team.

If in the first game against CSKA Moscow, the team had the advantage on the field but lost the score, then in the second game, the team suffered a double loss in terms of field and score.

Although it is said that Shakhtar Donetsk has gone through a group of high-level Brazilian players, Shakhtar Donetsk is not short of money, and immediately formed an excellent team, which is still not bad in combat and has a stable Champions League level.

Playing such a team, it is not surprising that Jingguo En lost.

Because the second game was not broadcast live, the news spread to China, and fans were generally disappointed, but many mainstream media, especially the Football Emperor and domestic authoritative football newspapers, affirmed the performance of Jingcheng Guoen.

The league between Russia and Ukraine is also about to start, whether it is CSKA Moscow or Shakhtar Donetsk, they are training in pre-season, and they also want to test the team with warm-up matches to adjust the team's form.

From the warm-up matches, everyone could see that neither team had any room left.

After suffering two consecutive defeats in the warm-up games, Jingcheng Guoen's next three warm-up games were also not ideal, with two draws and one loss, and suffered five winless warm-up games.

This has also disappointed domestic fans in general, but it once again proves one thing, even the world's top superstars can hardly support a team of superior quality.

Because modern football is about the whole!

However, when fans were generally disappointed and domestic media were worried about the new season of Beijing Guoen, technical director Bielsa said in an interview with the Emperor that in the eyes of the team, the team's progress is very obvious.

However, the Argentine coach did not analyze his own statement in depth, which caused a lot of controversy in his remarks.

There are many media and fans who think that Bielsa is biased towards his own protégé and the team, but some fans believe that with Bielsa's character, he will definitely not do such a thing, so the team is really improving.

But in any case, after playing five warm-up matches and after a long training camp, Jingcheng Guoen also officially ended his trip to Barcelona and returned to China from Spain.

This time, the team was greeted by thousands of fans at the capital airport in Beijing.

Although the team's warm-up record is not good, the fans of the Guoen team still have confidence in the team, hoping that the team can prepare well and strive to be a hit in the new season.

Yang Huan has also been paying attention to the movements of the Beijing Guoen team, and has also taken the time to watch two or three warm-up games, and he also feels that the team has indeed made great progress, especially in terms of overall and teamwork.

It can be seen that Pochettino is implementing his tactical philosophy step by step in the team, but it will definitely take a little time.

Before the team left Spain, Yang Huan also went to the hotel to say goodbye to the players, and promised that he would return to China to watch the team's first Chinese Super League game.

Before that can be done, though, he has to return to England to watch a Carabao Cup final.
