Super Marshal

What was it like to participate in Gaohan’s first training session?

When the domestic authoritative party newspaper interviewed the international players of the national team after the morning training session, the answers given by the forty international players were surprisingly consistent, that is, one word, tired.

Like all training, Gao Han's training session is controlled within ninety minutes and consists of a number of different small projects. Each small project does not look surprising, and it does not even feel like a project that consumes too much physical energy. , but put together, it made the national players struggle to survive almost all the ninety minutes of training.

Many players even collapsed on the training ground after training, not wanting to get up at all.

But after a period of rest, when they recalled this first training session under the interview of media reporters, they felt that it was very fulfilling. Each item was very compact and reasonable, and one link was linked to the other.

Buenaventura is definitely the top physical coach in the world. He had already checked the physical condition of each player before the training camp, and had a general understanding of it during the warm-up. That's why he dared to come up with something like this training program.

But what surprised the international football players the most was that he attached great importance to training with the ball. He carried the ball with him in every training item and even every movement. After ninety minutes of training, when the players looked back, it seemed that no training was without success. It was completed under ball conditions, which reminded them of the media reports on Gao Han.

Training with the ball has always been Gao Han's creed. He has always valued ball control and running more than anything else, so his training characteristics have always been focused on training with the ball, even during physical reserve training. So, compared with boring training such as running laps in China, training in the cold is undoubtedly much more interesting.

Not only the training programs, but also the games to relax the team, in fact, in retrospect, the intensity is very high.

For example, the famous monkey walking game is not uncommon and is often played by many international football players in clubs. However, the requirements of high altitude are higher and the venue is smaller. In particular, it is emphasized that players must have one kick to get the ball out. This puts a lot of pressure on the international football players. It's just too big.

But also because of the high pressure, each of them must be cautious in training, walking on thin ice, not daring to relax or slack off at all. If they are not careful, they will be sent to the field to act like a monkey to their teammates.

But it is such a simple monkey-walking game. When introducing the requirements, assistant coach Xiao Mu also specifically told the international players the secrets, such as deliberately training different passing lines to achieve different effects.

In training, Gao Han still felt that their coordination of passing and receiving was too slow and he needed to speed up.

If it were before, the national football players would definitely not be convinced, but yesterday afternoon, after seeing the cooperation of the indoor football team composed of Gao Ren, Wang Lei, Zhao Jun and Yang Xin, and the skillful and smooth kick delivery, they I have to be convinced.

Compared with them, the speed of the international players is indeed slow and they make many mistakes.

In addition to the familiar relaxing game of the monkey walking game, the coaching staff also specially provided another relaxing game called the array game.

In a rectangular field, eleven players wear vests of three different colors, four each in red and yellow. One side stands on the outside of the rectangular line to pass and control the ball, and the other side presses inside the line. Three white players Make a straight line and remain neutral at both ends and the center of the rectangle, supporting the side with the ball. This exercise is about who can hold the ball longer.

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

After the ball controller makes a mistake in passing and receiving, he must immediately enter the marked area and engage in counterattack. However, after the original presser seizes the ball, he must immediately exit the area and transfer to control the ball. This This seemingly simple training actually has a very good effect on the players' on-the-spot counterattacks and position selection pressure, and the team's transition between offense and defense.

After the ninety-minute training program in the morning, every player felt extremely fresh, very compact and fulfilling, but also very tired, because they maintained great concentration almost all the time and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to every item. Training does not require supervision from the coaching staff at all. Once they slack off, they will be punished immediately.

This kind of training makes them feel like they are being squeezed out of their last bit of potential.

After the morning training session, every player dragged their exhausted bodies back to the locker room.

At noon, specialized nutrition experts prepare different nutritious meals for the players to meet their high-intensity training needs.

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

At this time, the international football players were surprised to find that every item arranged by the coaching staff was targeted and linked together. The purpose was to make them familiar with and understand Gao Han's tactical intentions as soon as possible.

The first thing Xiao Mu posted was a map of the areas of the stadium. If the international players paid close attention to the field in the morning, it would be easy to find that this map is exactly the same as the lines on the training ground.

Gao Han's requirement for the players is to keep this picture firmly engraved in their minds. He will train repeatedly in the next ten days so that every player knows clearly where the ball is. In an area, when encountering any situation, where should the pass be passed, in what way, when should the players choose to run to respond, and where should they run...

For all these details, Gao Han has very detailed tactical requirements.

This was the first time for the national players to come into contact with such complicated tactical system requirements. They were all overwhelmed by the instructions. They made many mistakes during the afternoon training session, and the training effect was very insignificant.

However, Gao Han did not get angry. Instead, he encouraged the players after training, saying that it was indeed very cumbersome to use such tactics for the first time, but then he gradually became familiar with it and sorted it out clearly. Each player has his own role in the game. If it does its job, the results will come out.

But Gao Han also warned all the international players that this is only the preliminary version, mainly to grasp the formation. The running response he sorted out is only the simplest and most direct, and the most easily accepted routine by the international players. If it is in Europe The top league is ten times more complicated than it is now.

This also shocked the national football players, saying that their brains were not enough.

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

…………

…………

After a taste of the first day, the suffering of the international players really began.

In the following ten days, the national team only had two mornings off, when the team visited scenic spots in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The rest of the time was spent immersed in the training of the national team.

And what Gao Han holds tightest is undoubtedly the team's formation.

He knows very well that the array is the basis of a team's skills and tactics. With the strength of the national football team, only by playing as a whole can there be a chance of winning, so the array is undoubtedly the top priority, and it is also the link that he grasps the most and tightest.

During the two weeks of national team training, the national football team suffered enough, but everyone admired Gao Han and the coaching team even more. However, it was difficult for outside media reporters and fans to get the details of the training. They could only Evaluate the effect through the training photos and news released by the Football Association every day.

Occasionally, several international football players gave interviews to the media, and they all spoke highly of Gao Han and the coaching staff. They believed that the training effect had benefited them a lot. They also said that the team's atmosphere was maintained very well and was relatively relaxed.

This was also deliberately arranged by Gao Han. Steve Peters also provided counseling on the psychological condition of each player. Gao Han himself also repeatedly communicated privately with these 40 international players to ensure that his ideas could be accurately conveyed to the players. players.

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

After two weeks of getting along with each other, Gao Han also had a general understanding of the national players. He and the coaching staff also carefully evaluated the strength and potential of each national player. Gao Han, in particular, inspected them repeatedly with a keen eye. players.

It can be said that Gao Han and the coaching staff already have a basic idea of ​​the national team's roster at the end of March, but the details will not be announced until March. After all, he has to beware of injuries to the national players in the league.

After the two weeks of national team training, the Football Association held a press conference at the Guangzhou China Town Training Center. Gao Han once again accepted interviews from well-known media at home and abroad. He said that he was satisfied with the results of this national team training. , 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 it has also allowed me to become more familiar with my players. We have made good progress in cooperation. I am very satisfied with them, and I also believe that, They won't let me down."

"There is still one month left 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 venues in the Chinese Super League to inspect and pay close attention to the news in the domestic league and the national football players. Based on their performance, we will select the top 25 players before the games in March."

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

Sure enough, in the following month, Gao Han once again became a trapeze artist, constantly shuttling back and forth in major Chinese Super League venues, becoming a unique scenery of the Chinese Super League in the new season.

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

Time passed bit by bit, and in mid-March, Gao Han finally issued the final list of 25 players, which basically included the strongest and best-performing national players in various positions in China. Captain Zheng Zhi was also selected again. and served as captain.

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

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

As for how far they can develop in the future, it depends on their own efforts and luck.

After the new national team training session, Gao Han and the coaching staff focused on adjusting the physical fitness and condition of the players. At the same time, they were also familiar with the array drilled in February and concentrated on preparing for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

On March 24th, the world cup qualifying match that attracts worldwide attention is finally here!
