Chapter 1038 Losing Is Normal, Winning Is Not Normal

Although Yang Huan was not able to stay with the Barcelona team for too long because he had a lot of things to do, he was still busy with the team for three days and participated in the team's training camp.

And in these three days, he had in-depth exchanges with four foreign players in the team, several local players, and some important employees of the club.

He could see that everyone had a good impression of Pochettino. Although there was no such admiration in the legend, at least he would not resist and would not cause trouble for the head coach. Many players even believed that this voluntary Being a team tour guide, leading a group to visit Barcelona, ​​and even taking selfies with players when he can afford it, is actually quite a good person.

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

From what Yang Huan has learned in the past three days, Pochettino's start in Beijing Guoen is still very good.

However, the real hardship came after Master Huan left.

According to Pochettino's training plan, in the past few days, the main training items are mainly adjustments.

After all, the players have experienced long vacations, and their physical condition is definitely not ideal. It was even found that the physical data of many players were seriously exceeded. Therefore, it is impossible for Pochettino to directly increase the number of players.

However, after the adjustment period, training three times a day, each training session lasts 90 minutes, and it is a high-intensity training that races against time. This is enough to make all the players in the team cry, and they are all ravaged.

During this period of time, domestic fans have also learned from WeChat, Weibo and media interviews about the tragic situation of the players in the Beijing Guoen team training. Even the captain Xu Yunlong was interviewed by the Beijing Daily reporter. Said that this was the cruelest training camp he had ever experienced.

No one knows what happened to Guoen, the capital city far away in Europe, but judging from the reactions of the players who complained, it seems that they were all ravaged terribly. Could it be that this Argentine coach is really so terrifying?

As a result, many unscrupulous domestic media began to hype, thinking that Pochettino has no ※∮style_txt; ability, regardless of the specific situation of Chinese players, he blindly played a lot and carried out intensive training, which caused complaints from the players in the team.

Some media pointed out that many players in the Beijing Guoen team have complained about Pochettino. Once the team's performance is poor or conflicts arise, they will rebel as soon as possible.

Some media even broke the news,

The new coach of Jingcheng Guoen is too partial to big-name foreign players in training, and treats the players unfairly, which leads to many internal conflicts in the team.

Today an insider came out to disclose, tomorrow a certain player came out to criticize, and the day after tomorrow a certain high-level executive secretly told reporters.

The series of reports by the domestic media made it seem that Beijing Guoen was on the verge of dying.

There are even many fans of Guoen in Beijing who are worried, but don't worry about the fact that the team has crippled itself before the league is played.

But at this time, a team reporter who followed Beijing Guoen to Barcelona launched a special report.

In this report, it not only introduced the situation of Jingcheng Guoen's training in Barcelona in detail, but also interviewed many players, as well as the management and staff of the club.

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 training intensity of the Argentine coach is very intensive, the effect is very good and very targeted.

Although currently affected by various aspects, it is difficult for domestic players to fully meet Pochettino's requirements, but after a series of high-intensity training, the players generally report 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 court and how to better serve the team as a whole.

Another young player, Zhang Chengdong, also said that Pochettino is indeed a very promising head coach and has been of great help to him.

"At the beginning, he asked me to play right back, which made me not very happy, but in training, I gradually found that playing this position is indeed a pretty good challenge for me, and I gradually liked it. This is the position."

Not only for the head coach Pochettino, but also for several big-name stars in the team, the players also have a very high evaluation.

Captain Xu Yunlong said, "A superstar is a superstar after all. When I face Zlatan Ibrahimovic, let alone one person, neither of us can guard against him alone. He is so tall and strong, but the skills under his feet But he is so flexible and skillful, it is completely impossible to see that he is in his thirties."

"There is also Terry. I often partnered with him in training. At first, I didn't think he was any different. Sometimes I even felt that the so-called world-class central defender was nothing more than that."

"But later, once, I was in a different group with him, and I suddenly discovered 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 important. Profound."

"After the training session, I asked him. He told me that a really good defense is not to wait until the opponent enters his defense zone, or even wait until the opponent is close. Enter your own defense zone and resolve the crisis before it poses a direct threat."

"This is easy to say, but in reality, it is very difficult to do it."

"Later, I told Xiao Lei, Xiao Lang and Xiao Zhao, and I told them that learning from Terry is not only to learn his training attitude and professional ethics, but also to learn his defensive awareness and experience, which is very helpful for their growth.”

Not only Terry, but Ibrahimovic also made this group of domestic players full of praise.

Especially frontcourt attackers Wu Lei and Zhang Xizhe admire Ibrahimovic and Kaka.

If the domestic media had questioned Pochettino's inability to control the big names and local players in the team before, with the fresh report of the football emperor, the direction of public opinion immediately turned around.

But what is really convincing is the five warm-up matches played by Jingcheng Guoen in Barcelona.

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

As a result, in these five warm-up matches, Jingcheng Guoen faced teams at the level of CSKA Moscow and Shakhtar Donetsk. Although the strength of these teams is not outstanding in Europe, they are at least safe. midstream.

Jingcheng Guoen lost to CSKA Moscow 1-3 in the first warm-up match.

This game was also broadcast live on Wechat videos in China. As a result, all fans noticed that although the result of the game was far from satisfying, the Beijing Guoen team held the initiative for most of the game.

However, the team was reorganized and the players were unfamiliar with each other. Especially between foreign players and local players, it was difficult to coordinate with each other.

After the game, Pochettino was interviewed by the domestic media for the first time. He said that the loss was not unexpected to him. He didn’t think it was a bad thing. question, made him happy.

"For the warm-up match, I told the players, don't care about the results, the most important thing is to play our stuff."

"The truth is, for all to see, we played our stuff in the game."

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

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is at the forefront, Kaka and Harvey Alonso are partnered in the midfield, Terry is in the back line, the entire central axis of Jingcheng Guoen is superior, and domestic players are led by four foreign players. Next, basically played the tactics that Pochettino wanted.

Losing is normal, but winning is abnormal.

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

In the two rounds, Ibrahimovic contributed two goals, but the team suffered two losses.

If we said that in the first game against CSKA Moscow, the team had an advantage in the scene but lost the score, then in the second game, the team suffered a double loss in terms of both the scene and the score.

Although it is said that Shakhtar Donetsk has left a group of high-level Brazilian players, Shakhtar Donetsk is not short of money and immediately formed a team with excellent strength. The combat effectiveness is still not bad, and the Champions League is safe. level.

Playing against such a team, it is not surprising that Jingcheng Guoen lost.

Because the second game was not broadcast live, fans were generally disappointed when the news reached the country. However, many mainstream media, especially Dianqiudi and domestic authoritative football newspapers, affirmed Jingcheng Guoen's performance.

The Russian and Ukrainian leagues are about to start. Whether it is CSKA Moscow or Shakhtar Donetsk, they are all training before the season. They also hope to use the warm-up match to test the team and adjust the team's state.

From the warm-up match, everyone can see that neither of these two teams has the slightest effort.

After suffering a two-game losing streak in the warm-up match, Jingcheng Guoen's next three warm-up matches were also unsatisfactory, with two draws and one loss, and five warm-up matches without a win.

This also disappointed domestic fans, but it once again proved one thing, even the world's top superstars, it is difficult to support a team with superior strength.

Because modern football plays as a whole!

But when the fans were generally disappointed and the domestic media were worried about the new season of Beijing Guoen, the technical director Bielsa said in an interview with the football emperor that from the team's internal point of view, the team's progress is very obvious.

However, the Argentine coach did not further analyze his own statement, which brought great controversy to his remarks.

Many media and fans believe that Bielsa is favoring his disciples 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 five warm-up matches and a long training session, 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 Beijing Capital Airport.

Although the team's record in the warm-up match 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 even took the time to watch two or three warm-up matches. He also feels that the team has indeed improved a lot, especially in terms of overall and teamwork.

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

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

But before that, he had to return to England to watch a League Cup final.
