Chapter Ninety-Two: Guferen's Recommendation
In Zhuang Mingge's view, players should not be too limited by the tactical framework, therefore, Zhuang Mingge's tactics in Florence's echelons of all ages are basically just a big framework, such as strengthening the players' off-ball running, and defenders can also choose the right time to participate in the attack...... However, there are no strict requirements in the details, as long as the general direction of the team's tactics remains unchanged, it is enough to make the "seamless connection" between the youth team and the senior team smoothly.
Therefore, for Michels's idea of "tactical flow", Zhuang Mingge personally believes that it is more suitable for those players who are over 18 years old and have been preliminarily finalized at the jishu level, while Gu Furen's "jishu flow" is more suitable for those young players.
For example, after the arrival of the new century, there are fewer and fewer Jishuliu defenders like Maldini, Baresi, and Nesta in international football? (Of course, these people are not pure jishuliu, but they make more use of their own brilliant individual defensive skills when defending, rather than blindly physical confrontation) while physical confrontation fluid defenders like Pepe and Chiellini are popular? On the one hand, the reason is that with the progress of the times, the nutritional balance of the players is much better than before, and with the enhancement of their own physical fitness, the physical confrontation will naturally increase.
On the other hand, there is the so-called tactical formation, which has brought a lot of fresh air to the dull tactical thinking of Italian football since Sacchi pioneered the zone defence, a more tactical rather than individual jishu. After Sacchi applied this tactic to create the "Milan Dynasty", coaches across Europe prioritized the training of defenders and invested very little in the defensive jishu of their players.
Lippi complained when he was the head coach of the Italian national team: "Until the early 90s, Italian football was never short of good defenders, especially man-marking centre-backs. But zone defense has caused a disaster in youth development, and now children only know what zone is when they play football, and they don't even know how to mark people. ”
So, now fans are seeing more of Pepe's physical confrontation and ferocious tackles, and defensive masters like Baresi, Maldini, and Nesta are almost extinct in football.
Zhuang Mingge is not against zonal defense theory, but he is adamantly opposed to instilling zonal theory in the development of young players. He believes that this is the reason for the "discontinuation" of excellent defenders in Italian football in later generations. The first thing young players learn as they grow up is their individual jishu, and the most important thing for defenders is to mark and defend one-on-one jishu, not zone defense theory. Learning the theory of zone defense too early is the scourge of tactics to jishu and grades to growth.
Therefore, Zhuang Mingge also has the same view of Michels's "tactical flow" and Guferen's "jishu flow", and he believes that when developing young players, they must first hone their personal jishu, and tactical ideas should be instilled in them later.
……
When Gu Furen heard Zhuang Mingge invite him to conduct special training for a hairy boy, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Corleone, you have also seen that I am seventy years old, and my energy and physical strength are not as good as before, unfortunately, I am afraid that I will not be able to do this job." ”
When Zhuang Mingge heard it, his heart sank, if Gu Furen didn't come to Florence, then who else could teach little Pirlo?
Gu Furen also saw the face of the young man sitting in front of him, and sighed in his heart, if he was twenty years younger, no, fifteen, he would agree to his request, but his current body was no longer able to support such work.
Forget it, for the sake of his patience in listening to my speech for so long, give this young man some advice, so that my theory can have a place to take root.
"Chairman Corleone, although I can't go to Florence to train that player named Pirlo, I have two candidates here, and it should be helpful."
"Huh?" For Zhuang Mingge, Gu Furen's words were simply heavenly at this moment, "Mr. Gu Furen, please tell me." ”
"One is Rene Mulensten, who is now the head coach of Qatar's Under-18 team; The other is Ricardo Moniz, who is now a coach at Feyenoord FC. The old man said unhurriedly, "These two people have the most thorough understanding of my training courses in the years I have started CM, and I believe that they will develop more under your hands." ”
Mulensten is actually a disciple of Gufren! Zhuang Mingge was really taken aback, as a loyal fan of FM, of course he knew who Mulensten was, that was an assistant coach under Lord Alex Ferguson of Manchester United, and was also independently responsible for part of the youth training work!
With Guferen's relationship, Murensten should not object to going to Florence to train Pirlo, Zhuang Mingge even began to think in his heart, whether he should directly hand over the youth department to this bull in charge, after all, his old coach is really not reliable.
Moniz Zhuang Mingge was not impressed, he only remembered that Van Persie seemed to have a lot of respect for this coach after becoming famous, as if it was because Moniz trained Van Persie with CM courses......
"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Gufren." As he spoke, Zhuang Mingge stood up and bowed to the old man decently.
"Don't thank me, Mr. Corleone." The old man's eyes sparkled, "I also want my doctrine to flourish." ”
……
After saying goodbye to the old man Gufren, Zhuang Mingge immediately made a phone call to Crown Prince Althani: "Hey, is it Said?" Oh, I'm Antonio...... I would like to hire you as the head coach of the Qatar Under-18 team to work for Fiorentina, do you see if there are any problems......"
Since making a player deal with Crown Prince Said at the beginning of this year, Zhuang Mingge has maintained a very good relationship with the other party, although it is not yet to the point of cutting off the head of the chicken and burning yellow paper, but after he fulfilled his promise to "contribute to the construction of Qatari football", Prince Said is obviously much closer to himself.
Although all this is what both sides need, the Qataris have achieved "stardom", and Zhuang Mingge has earned a lot of extra money, but with the passage of time, the friendship between the two has been formed.
Therefore, Crown Prince Saeed readily agreed to Zhuang Mingge's request, and Zhuang Mingge, in order to compensate for the losses of the Qataris, told Saeed on the phone that he would introduce more high-level foreign players to play in the Qatar League.
As for liquidated damages for the work contract between Mulensten and the Qatar Football Association? The bold Crown Prince Said said that Qatar, which has friendly relations with Fiorentina, will not charge Mullensten a penny in liquidated damages.
Moniz's recruitment process was quite simple, because he did not agree with the rest of the club, and Feyenoord itself did not value the young coach who they considered "deviant", so Zhuang Mingge only paid a small penalty and took Moniz away from Feyenoord.
In this way, after going through some hardships, Zhuang Mingge finally found two "famous teachers" for Pirlo and his own youth team.
