The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 232 Ye Family's Style of Play
Professional players, especially those in the four major European leagues, are a very special group.

Why is it special?

At a very young age, they can already earn money and status that others may not earn in their entire lives, so they can already have the conditions to start enjoying life at an age when others may just start working.

There are many such professional players, they are very rich, and as long as they have money, everyone wants to live a comfortable life. In the early stages of their careers, they can have a lot of excitement and desire, such as winning the championship and proving their strength. Strength and so on, these can stimulate them to maintain self-discipline and performance.

But the problem is that in the middle and late stages, when the champion is won, there is no need to prove his strength anymore. The whole world knows that he is a superstar, and no one will doubt his strength. Longing, becoming aimless.

The transfer is a good stimulus, because in a new environment, you can more or less find new targets, but Ye Qiu is very clear that if you want to make a team more fighting spirit and become more effective, Then we must find a new direction and goal for everyone in the team.

Some head coaches would choose to be gentler and take their time. It may take a few months to achieve this, but Ye Qiu has never had that much patience. He likes to be fast, so he took the last step. The simplest and most direct way to tell your players that you earn so much money, you should pay corresponding efforts and responsibilities.

The players felt the head coach's tough attitude and difference from the first day. There were a few players who had doubts about what Ye Qiu said before, but now they completely believed it.

Ye Qiu not only set a strict diet and work and rest schedule for the players, but also turned all the players into professional soldiers and managed them militarily. From eating, resting to sleeping, everything was controlled It is strictly regulated.

For example, some players like to eat sweet bread or milk for breakfast, but Ye Qiu strictly forbids these things from appearing in the club restaurant and training camp. What's worse, Ye Qiu has given the strictest rules to some players who are obviously overweight. Dietary restrictions, some can only eat raw pasta and salad.

The highest temperature in Irdning, Austria reached 30 degrees at noon, which is not too high for Ye Qiu who was born in southern China, but not too low for these players who live in London. Normally, he should reduce his weight, but Ye Qiu not only didn't reduce his weight, he practiced three times a day without any compromise.

Get up at 6:7 in the morning, have breakfast with the whole team at 8:2000, warm up after a period of rest, start the first event on time at 200:[-], and complete a [-]-meter running test with the ball. He requires every player to It is necessary to try to be as stable as possible with the ball, and the last [-] meters is to sprint with the ball.

After running with the ball, the team went to the gym and swimming pool for stretching exercises.

A class lasts 90 minutes, followed by physical training on time at 11 am.

Physical training is more about short-distance sprints, back-and-forth running, and bypassing obstacles and other physical enhancement items. These are to ensure the players' physical reserves, but Ye Qiu has set a time limit for this and requires everyone to do it. Finish within the stipulated time, and give penalties if exceeded.

At the same time, Ye Qiu will also bring some training programs and games that he was already doing when he was at Ajax, such as the wall hitting game that he thinks is very effective. The effect of this game on players is still obvious Yes, it works great.

But these games and training programs all have a characteristic, that is, compactness, which means high intensity.

After the 90-minute second training session, we had lunch at 1:2 noon, took a [-]-hour lunch break, and then had a tactical discussion meeting. Ye Qiu and Ten Carter would instill in the players Chelsea's tactical ideas for this season, as well as their daily strategy. A player's tactical responsibility, allowing them to understand their role on the pitch.

The third training session in the afternoon was held at 6:90, and it was still [-] minutes, and it was more about tactical drills and group confrontation training.

What Ye Qiu keeps emphasizing is that no matter it is a game or training, one hundred percent concentration is required, the passing and receiving of the ball must be concise and fast, and one touch the ball, so he clearly stated in some group confrontation events, Once you have the ball, you have to complete an attack within 10 seconds.

Someone on the coaching staff will press the stopwatch and blow the whistle after 10 seconds, and the ball will be replaced.

And in order to encourage the players to fight with real swords and guns, Ye Qiu asked everyone to show the fighting spirit of treating training as a formal game, and everyone must do their best for every opportunity. Go, but more importantly, he asked all players not to wear shin pads.

The players were not used to Ye Qiu's request, because on the one hand, they were required to fight fiercely, and on the other hand, they were not allowed to wear shin guards.What should I do if I get hurt?
But Ye Qiu didn't correct this at all. Instead, he said that everyone should work hard to improve in training, and every player should maintain a fighting spirit. He didn't wear shin guards, but he wanted to remind all players that the Premier League The confrontation and movements are very intense. All players must learn to protect themselves on the one hand, and know how to control their movements.

"I don't want you to always expect more physical contact with each other. My request is to minimize physical contact and achieve the goal of offense through fast passing and receiving. You don't have physical contact with each other anymore. , why do you need leg guards?"

Facing Ye Qiu's aggressive rhetorical question, the players were speechless, and each of them was forced by Ye Qiu to carry out this kind of hell-style training.

However, it's not that Ye Qiu doesn't think about the players at all. He only targets those players who are in good health. As for Cannavaro, the captain of the Italian national team was detected on the first day he came to the team. After suffering a fractured tibia, Ye Qiu specially arranged for the coach to train him individually instead of with the team.

This also allowed everyone in the team to see Ye Qiu's protection of the players. In the following training camps, Ye Qiu also adopted these two completely different attitudes. recovery from illness.

There will be no players wishing to be injured. After all, the team doctor is still conducting tests. As long as the body recovers and meets the training requirements, they will immediately practice together with the team.

Of course, in order to control and prevent players from getting injured due to training, Ye Qiu was also very strict in handling whistles during training. He made his attitude clear to everyone in advance, and vicious fouls were prohibited. For other physical contact and confrontation, he would Not limited.

Therefore, on the training ground, there were often scenes where players were shoveled and turned on their backs, but there were very few injuries. That is, Joe Cole was kicked to the calf by Davis on the second day of the team's training camp. sky.

As the training progressed, the players gradually became numb to this situation and got used to it. Gradually, the team's training became very cruel. Everyone must go all out and stay focused, otherwise If you don't, you may be killed by your teammates anytime and anywhere, and then make a fool of yourself, which directly promotes the team's training effect.

And Ye Qiu is not idle at ordinary times. He communicates and contacts with the players every day. He always maintains an attitude. If the team is compared to a person, the players are the body of the team, and the head coach It is the brain of the team. If the brain wants to control the body, it must be in close contact with every part of the body.

Cannavaro is the biggest player among all the players, he is the captain of the Italian national team, but in the year of Inter Milan, he performed very badly, and he has not won enough to prove his strength at the club, So Ye Qiu used this as an entry point to stimulate the Italians.

Makelele is successful and famous. Although the national team has always been suppressed by Vieira and has not achieved any decent achievements, he has won the Champions League at the club and reached the final last season. But Ye Qiu But he used Vieira's achievements at Arsenal to stimulate him.

Ronaldinho is talented, he is indeed a genius, even in training, he has shown his outstanding footwork skills, and he is the World Cup champion, but he has not proved himself in the four major leagues, Ye Qiu also I keep encouraging him, thinking that if he can stand out in this Chelsea team, then he has the qualifications to challenge people like Ronaldo and Rivaldo, otherwise, no one will recognize him.

As for Edgar Davis, Didier Drogba and others, they don't need Ye Qiu to stimulate them at all, especially the Dutchman, he is now the most diligent and hardworking one on the training ground, and he is holding back his anger to prove himself Strength, to prove to everyone, at least he is not old enough to wipe the bench for Lippi.

Another thing that made Ye Qiu feel relieved was Franck Ribery.

The scar-faced Frenchman is also very hardworking in training. Originally, Ye Qiu was a little worried that Franck Ribery, who had only played in the irregular French National League, would find it difficult to adapt to Chelsea's training intensity. He took special care of it, but he didn't expect that after this training, Ribery performed very hard.

"His speed is very fast, especially his explosive power." Ten Carter had a good impression of this Frenchman who went directly to Stamford Bridge to find Ye Qiu. He was ugly, but his strength was indeed not bad, whether it was speed or The technique under the feet is very good.

Of course, Ye Qiu knew that Ribery was good. This French scarred man's sprint speed was indeed fast enough, and his agility and balance were excellent, which made him very proficient in the use of techniques. Threat, you know, he's really good with both feet.

This involuntarily reminded Ye Qiu of his proud disciple Robben.

Simply speaking, Robben's speed and pace are better than Ribery's, but Robben's technique tends to be practical and concise, and he relies more on changing rhythm and step points to win, which makes everyone know how to defend against Him, that is the card position.

Of course, the card position may not be effective, but it can limit Robben's performance.

But Ribery is different. The French moves very quickly, and he is very skilled in fake moves, changing speeds and changing directions. In addition, his feet are very good, and both feet have very good ability to hold and control the ball. The dribbling is more confusing.

From the point of view of defensive players, both Franck Ribery and Robben have to be careful, but there are some ways to defend against Robben, but against Franck Ribery, you don't know what he will do next, because he is very comprehensive.

Also because of comprehensiveness, Ribery is not as good as Robben in simple assaults.

From a tactical point of view, Ye Qiu's arrangement for Robben is Abidal. The reason is very simple. The full-backs cannot be pressed too high, which will reduce Robben's sprint space, so Ye Qiu chose the supporting type. Abidal came to assist Robben.

But Ribery is different. He can play an effective role even in a small area, so there is no such problem at all, and the team's defense can boldly press forward.

Of course, for the time being, Ribery is just a strange move in Ye Qiu's hands, and he really relies on Ronaldinho.

切尔西的4321跟安切洛蒂的4321有着很大的不同，那就是切尔西的4321看起来更像是442菱形中场的变招，而安切洛蒂的4321则是圣诞树打法。

When attacking, Drogba is at the forefront, and Ronaldinho is like a shadow forward. He can find the opponent's loopholes based on his own observation, and he is more likely to pull the side and cut in from both ribs. This can also Play to the strengths of the Brazilians.

If these two players are double forwards, then Lampard is the attacking midfielder, specially ambushing behind Drogba, Edgar Davis and Deco are behind Lampard, and Makelele is dragging behind , This is a typical midfield diamond position.

Just like Ye Qiu's perception of AC Milan at the beginning, the diamond-shaped position has a big disadvantage, which is the protection of the full-backs.

The reason why AC Milan introduced Cafu is that they lack the means of wing attack. What they need is a player who can eat the entire wing by himself, similar to Cafu and Roberto Carlos.

The offensive threat of full-backs advancing forward is very great, especially for the kind of full-backs with excellent personal abilities. If they are paired with a scorer in the penalty area like Ruud van Nistelrooy, or a tactical fulcrum like Drogba in the frontcourt, it will be almost impossible. It is a big killer.

But the problem is also very big, because the front of the full-back will definitely bring about the problem of protection behind the back, and the problem of too much coverage of the full-back, because the diamond-shaped midfield position will inevitably lead to insufficient coverage and control of the midfield. , and this needs to be compensated by full-backs, so they sometimes even have to cover more than 70 meters of running, usually about 40 meters back and forth.

This is a huge test for any full-back.

But for this point, Ye Qiu has his own understanding, because Chelsea is not AC Milan, Chelsea can completely reduce the pressure on the full-backs by being more active in the midfield and running and covering a wide range. Further reducing the coverage area of ​​the full-backs.

Among other things, the midfield combination of Lampard, Davis, Deco and Makelele, purely in terms of running and coverage, will definitely kill AC Milan's set of Rui Costa, Seedorf , Gattuso and Pirlo combination.

In terms of technology, Chelsea is not as good as their opponents, but in terms of control, they definitely have the strength to beat AC Milan.

The midfield is where Ye Qiu's confidence lies. He can't think of any team in European football, or even world football, that has the strength to go head-to-head with Chelsea's tyrannical midfield?
And you must know that Chelsea's midfield is not just tough enough. If you carefully analyze Chelsea's midfield and the so-called meat grinder midfield in Mourinho's period, you will not be able to see it. It's hard to find that Ye Qiu's set is more controlled and creative, and every player is in his prime.

In fact, since Mourinho's time, Chelsea's midfielders have always given people a sense of muscular toughness. Everyone is very comprehensive and has strong tactical execution. People are suffocating oppression, but why can't they play a suffocating offense?
The reason is simple, oppression and coverage do not equal control.

Or in other words, what is control?
Control is about me, and I can do whatever I want; but what about oppression and coverage?
That is to focus on the enemy, whether it is oppression or coverage, the initiative is controlled by the opponent, and I am passive!

Therefore, the style of Mourinho's period is actually defensive counterattack, using this kind of oppression and coverage to complete the conversion of the ball, and then using Robben, Duff and Drogba to counterattack.

But Ye Qiu is not going to do that now, what he wants is control, not being controlled.

Of course, it is undeniable that the previous Mourinho’s Chelsea adopted such a tactical style of play. A very good and effective feature is stability, because they are a kind of defense in their bones, so they are very stable and conceded few goals. But in the Champions League, such a team often has a headache when encountering a team with strong control.

Perhaps, some people will think that Mourinho's failure to win the Champions League at Chelsea is due to various factors, but one thing is absolutely undeniable, that is, Mourinho's Chelsea only showed dominance in the Premier League However, in the Champions League, this is not the case. The reason is that the control of the European teams is stronger and better.

This is why Ferguson tried every means to guide his team to a continental style of play.

Ye Qiu will not pursue Mourinho's muscular midfield style, no matter from his own style or the team's goals, because he is very aware of the flaws of this style of play, and no one can let the ground meat The machine becomes gentle, and it is difficult to make a difference in the Champions League if you blindly pursue toughness and muscles.

That's why Ye Qiu gave up the 433 style of play that he was familiar with pursuing wingers, and instead adopted a more secure 4321 tactic, because in his first year in the Premier League, he had to come up with results that could convince everyone, otherwise , After investing so much, but in the end, he had nothing, and he himself felt that he couldn't justify it.
