Two Hundred and Fifty-Three Devil's Pre-Season Training

All Naples players were devastated to find that they seemed to have underestimated the intensity of the summer training camp.

Whether it is Callejon and Parejo, the former Real Madrid players, or the players who played for the team last season, they are very clear that the intensity of Gao Shen's training has always been very high. Each training session lasts 90 minutes, but the training The project arrangement is very tight, almost trying to drain the last bit of energy from their bodies.

They can also benefit from such training.

But this time it was obviously different.

The intensity is higher.

What's more, from the original two practice sessions a day to three practice sessions a day, this is definitely a life-threatening rhythm.

Buenaventura is like a Piccolo devil. He even told the players that the team's running distance this season will be higher than before, and even high center forwards like Pellet have exceeded ten. kilometer.

Not to mention some full-backs and midfielders, they almost all ran for eleven or twelve, or even more running distance.

In order to achieve this goal, the team must have sufficient physical reserves during the pre-season training camp, so there was this devil training camp that made all players feel collapsed and even desperate.

"How comfortable your holidays are, how painful it is now!" Buenaventura laughed.

There are three training sessions a day, in addition to physical reserves, there is also a lot of training with the ball.

For example, before each training session, there will be a round of scrambling games, which is the monkey walking familiar to many people.

This is actually not new, and even this is the regular training program of Barcelona and the Dutch team.

When Gao Shen was coaching Real Madrid, he often used it to adjust the training atmosphere, more like a game.

Callejon and Parejo thought they were familiar with this game, but they didn't expect to go to the training ground and found that it was completely different from the game in Real Madrid.

Naples' ring grabbing game is mainly based on two-to-eight tie-breaks.

As the name suggests, eight players form a circle to pass the ball to each other, and two players in the middle are responsible for grabbing the ball.

This kind of training can improve the player's ball handling skills in a narrow range, and at the same time exercise the player's running position, so that they can maintain an effective triangle position anytime and anywhere when responding to the pressing of players in the circle.

This is recognized as the most suitable position for passing the ball.

Players standing in the circle learn how to make the most efficient press, block the opponent's passing line, and at the same time predict the opponent's passing intention in advance, all of which are simulating what happens in a real game.

It can be said that the game of robbing the circle seems simple, but the effect is very good, especially for teams that press, press and pass the ball, it is an indispensable training item.

Whether it is the Dutch national team, Ajax, or Barcelona, ​​or the team coached by Van Gaal, they are basically inseparable from the training of the lap game.

In addition, the lap game can also adjust the intensity and purpose of the training according to the ratio of the number of people. For example, two-to-six, two-to-five, or even a triangular-to-three game can achieve very good results.

But Gao Shen put forward a higher level of requirements, so that this training is no longer just a game, but training.

That is, everyone must touch the ball with one foot, and at the same time, players must be left or right.

That is to say, whether it is passing or receiving the ball, only one of the feet can be used.

This will undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of the ring grabbing game.

Coupled with the penalty mechanism, this training is not only interesting, but also has high training intensity and training value.

...

As Spanish players, Callejon and Parejo are very familiar with the lap game, but neither of them expected that the Naples players are also so familiar with this training, and they even do it better and at a higher level than Real Madrid.

While the new players are still familiar with and adapting to this training, the old Naples players headed by Rakitic, Biglia and others have already "played" on the court very slickly, football is like a bullet Same, shuttling back and forth between them non-stop, the speed is very fast.

Vidal and David Luiz, who were pressing in the middle, also had a great time. They almost snatched the ball several times, which made the training ground scream again and again.

This made Callejon and Parejo both put away their arrogance.

Not to mention anything else, just like this training method, in Real Madrid, basically no one can do it.

Of course, this is also because the old Naples players have trained very skillfully, but it can also be seen that Naples' skillful pass and cut on the court is really not accidental, but the strength of training.

...

In addition to the ring game, there is also a shadow training method dedicated to training the overall oppression, as well as other targeted training, such as seven-on-four group confrontation.

It says it's seven-on-four, but it's actually four-on-four, and there are three players who are neutral, and they belong to whichever side has the ball.

This is mainly to train players to run without the ball.

All these trainings were brought to Naples by Gao Shen last season, or added slowly during the coaching.

After the practice in Naples, the results are very satisfactory. On this basis, all the coaching staff will further dig and increase the difficulty, so that the players can achieve the best training effect.

In addition, after each day's training session, the players will get a detailed training report, which contains not only their own training, but also the team as a whole, all of which are good performances or mistakes place.

For example, a striker will even analyze the reason why he failed to score a certain shot in training.

This is thanks to Naples' input in this regard.

The training center in Fort Volturno has a limited space, but all of them have been completely remodeled and upgraded this summer, and cameras have been installed. Even the training is taking videos and sending them to Lucas' analysis department in real time. Analyze, summarize and organize.

After the players get the analysis report, they basically have a preliminary understanding of some mistakes made by themselves and the team. Their task is to first think about why this problem happened to them, and how to solve and avoid such problems repeatedly.

Before training the next day, the coach will meet with the players one by one, discuss these issues with them, and give suggestions for improvement to help them improve.

If it is some recurring chronic illness, or a general problem, the coaching staff will also arrange special intensive training sessions as soon as possible.

It has to be said that this is not only the only one in Serie A, even in European football, it is quite advanced.

The investment is not very large, the most important thing is the introduction of advanced technology and the emphasis on advanced talents.

Lucas's two assistants were carefully selected by Gao Shen, Lucas and the club. Although they have never worked in such a job before, they both have great potential.

And these are unknown to outsiders.

But all the Naples players in Castel Volturno felt the novelty, and at the same time enjoyed the benefits of this technological advancement, especially when each of them got the analysis report, they were very concerned about their own problems and mistakes. It's all clear at a glance.

This is very helpful for everyone.

...

Since last season, Gao Shen has been aware of a problem.

That is how to better adjust the psychological changes of the players.

In the final analysis, a football game is still a human game.

Benitez said that given him eleven robots, he could win all the games.

The reason is simple, the robot has no emotions, no emotional changes, and remains 100% focused.

Training can do a lot, but some things can't be done, such as the emotional changes of the players.

Especially young players are the most prominent in this regard.

To give the simplest example, which is recognized by everyone, that is, in a game, after a goal is scored, the probability of scoring another goal in the next ten minutes is the highest.

This is where the mood of the players changes drastically because of a goal.

Gao Shen discovered a very interesting phenomenon last season, that is, the emotions of players will also change with the trend of the game. For example, when the team successfully grabs the ball and turns from defense to offense, the players' emotions will change Those who walk up will be very excited, and sometimes they will even get hot-headed and forget about it.

But when the team loses the ball during organization and offense, and when the offense turns to defense, the players' emotions will go down, they will become very disappointed, they will complain about teammates who made mistakes, and they will even be discouraged and have negative thoughts.

This is actually human nature.

Not to mention young players, even adults, it is basically impossible to avoid such positive or negative emotions.

But in a high-level game, this kind of emotion is likely to lead to mistakes, which will lead to conceded goals.

If you are too excited, you will make mistakes, if you are too negative, you will make mistakes.

Therefore, Gao Shen was thinking, is there a way to guide and control the players' emotions within a reasonable range as much as possible, so that they will not be too excited or too disappointed?

To this end, Naples specially hired a famous Italian psychological expert to come to the team. He believes that this requires accumulated psychological construction and training to allow players to develop a psychological mechanism.

But how to do it exactly, and whether it will work, is still not very clear, and we need to continue to explore.

At least in this area, I am afraid that no other team in European football is currently studying.

...

Whether it is high-intensity physical training or high-level training with the ball, whether it is training analysis or psychological mechanism construction, all of these have only one purpose, which is to make the team perform at a stronger level on the court.

But before the start of the league, all players have to go through a hellish training that is almost devilish.

Three classes a day, 90 minutes per class, plus some other class arrangements, the pre-season training of the players can be said to be arranged very tightly, and everyone is drained of all their energy every day.

To use Paul Cannavaro's complaints in the locker room is: "I don't even have the idea of ​​applauding love with my wife when I go home!"

This is not surprising.

Because when everyone leaves the training base every day, they are almost limp.

But they are also in such cruel training, constantly adjusting their physical condition, constantly recovering and improving.

After two weeks of devil-style training in Fort Volturno, the team officially ushered in an intensive summer warm-up match.
