Nine Hundred and Seventy First Premier League Deep Storm

Gao Shen has always felt that Pochettino is a seriously underestimated head coach.

Because, he has never won a championship.

The competition in professional football is very cruel. In front of the world, it has always judged heroes by success or failure.

Whether it is now or in his previous life, Pochettino has been underestimated.

For example, when it comes to the Spaniard, few people know what Pochettino did with the Spaniard.

Even reporters and fans who are familiar with and understand La Liga, and understand the Spaniard, at most can say, "He is a profound disciple." After defeating Guardiola's Barcelona in an away game, Guardiola said: "His coaching The style is very similar to mine."

But everyone will be wondering, what did Pochettino do?

At the tactical level, both Guardiola and Pochettino are deeply influenced by Bielsa and Gao Shen. his training.

What people see is always the performance on the court, but what happens on the court is often the decisive key.

Why was he a high disciple?

Similar tactics?

These are all appearances.

Deep down, the way he controls the team is very similar to Gao Shen.

Since he coached the Espanyol, and even when he coached the Espanyol women's football team, he has made changes in many details, which are invisible to the media, fans, and even other professionals.

For example, he will strictly regulate the players' diet and habits, even down to the eating time.

However, due to the Spaniard's financial resources, the club did not intend to give him the budget to hire a nutrition expert, so he taught himself nutrition, and even learned from Gao Shen and the nutrition experts in Gao Shen's coaching staff from time to time.

For example, the Spaniards all know that he is a training madman, every training session is very intense, and as a professional player, he is very thoughtful and can always conceive some very targeted training methods ingeniously.

But many people have not noticed that Pochettino has a training habit that has persisted for many years, that is, at the end of each training session, players will be required to perform a long-distance running training.

At first, the Espanyol players were very resistant.

"Do you know why the advanced Naples can run so well?"

"Do you know why Naples is often able to launch such a strong press at the end of the game?"

"That's their secret!"

Pochettino told the Spaniard's players that they have no technical advantage. If they don't work hard on physical fitness to create their own advantages, what will they use to avoid relegation? What do you use to fight against your opponent?

In this way, he led the team to defeat Barcelona in an away game and successfully led the team to avoid relegation.

Since then, Pochettino has been involved in all aspects of the Spaniard, from the medical staff to the coaching staff to the team to the youth academy... almost all of them have his footprints.

In the European professional circle, Pochettino has a good impression, because during his coaching of the Spaniard, he promoted a total of more than 20 youth players to the first team.

This is why a team like the Spaniard, which has been in a severe financial crisis for a long time and has constant disputes within the team's board of directors, can still rank in the middle or even the upper middle of La Liga.

...

Gao Shen is very familiar with Pochettino, and the two have always maintained very close contact. He knows what happened to Pochettino at the Spaniard, and he also knows the real reason for his dismissal.

He felt sorry for the Argentines.

At the same time, he also hopes that Pochettino can achieve a higher glory than his previous life.

In his previous life, Pochettino's coaching in Southampton was very successful, but when it came to Tottenham Hotspur, because of the construction of a new stadium, Pochettino did what Wenger did in Arsenal.

That is destined to be recorded in the history of Tottenham!

Many people only remember that Pochettino was fired, but they ignore that even after get out of class, there is no problem at all in the Tottenham dressing room under Pochettino's control.

Is this similar to Klopp?

To put it bluntly, these two teams are almost the same. They both fell after the peak of the team. Coupled with the problems left over from the serious insufficient investment of the team in the past few years, they accumulated more and more and evolved into a team. Unmanageable situation.

The final result is that the head coach dismisses get out of class.

Dortmund is relatively better, but after Tottenham changed coaches, is the situation better than that of Pochettino?

To a certain extent, Pochettino's name must be recorded first in the credit book of Tottenham's new stadium.

The involvement of past and present life makes Gao Shen have an extraordinary appreciation for Pochettino.

The two have almost become friends who talk about everything. Even Pochettino often came to visit the training of the advanced team, and often the two even discussed on the spot.

And Gao Shen also communicated with him his tactical concepts and ideas without reservation.

For example, Gao Shen said that he likes the balance between offense and defense.

When Pochettino watched the Real Madrid game, his first reaction was balance.

"A very comfortable sense of balance in terms of offense and defense!" Pochettino was not stingy with his appreciation.

But the two will also discuss practical issues in depth.

For example, a team like coaching Espanyol cannot have a very good, offensive and defensive midfielder like Modric, Toni Kroos, Xavi Iniesta, Xavi Alonso and Busquets players.

It is even more impossible to have all-around players like Di Maria and Benzema, let alone Ronaldo.

then what should we do?

As Pochettino said to the Spaniards before, the lack of technical skills must be made up for by more running and pressing.

The Spaniard's big defeat at the Bernabeu was because they lacked enough running and pressing to suppress Real Madrid's game rhythm, resulting in the game being completely controlled by Real Madrid.

So there was Real Madrid scoring goals again and again, one by one.

Pochettino said frankly that if he coached himself, he would still lose, but he would never lose so embarrassingly.

Highly agree with this statement.

And Pochettino has also encountered some problems recently.

He received an olive branch from a Premier League team.

...

After playing the seventeenth round of La Liga, the league was suspended and the Christmas holiday was ushered in. Gao Shen also had time to call Zidane, Hierro, Carlo and other assistants over. In addition, he has been in Madrid recently, following the Pochettino, who was in action at Real Madrid, happened to have a dinner together.

Pochettino mentioned the olive branch he received from the Premier League.

Counting from bottom to top, Reading, Queens Park Rangers, Wigan Athletic, Aston Villa, Sunderland, Newcastle...

Almost all teams aiming to change coaches will pay attention to Pochettino.

This is not because he is famous, but because his coaching performance in the Spaniard is really good.

There are two other important factors.

One is Laudrup of Swansea. After the former La Liga Getafe head coach went to coach Swansea, it was almost a dimensionality reduction blow and won the applause. Everyone saw that the former La Liga head coach In the Premier League, he was able to perform so well at the technical and tactical level.

Another is Sarri of Leeds United.

Now, the whole of England is guessing, how long can this big dark horse last?

At present, the Premier League has played 18 rounds. As a result, Leeds United, the big dark horse, is still ranked fourth.

This is simply outrageous!

You know, last summer, instead of investing, Leeds United earned a training base in the transfer market, but now, this team is still ranked fourth in the Premier League.

This is simply going crazy!

A deep storm has blown up throughout the Premier League, and even Pochettino, who is in Spain, has also benefited.

But it's really not how good Leeds United performed, at most it was an occasional upset.

For example, they defeated Chelsea 2-1 at home with Salah's goal.

Among them, the lore goal scored by Salah's long-distance attack made him famous in the first battle.

But then, Leeds United also suffered an away loss to Swansea, a home loss to Stoke City, and a 0-2 away loss to Arsenal, suffering a three-game losing streak.

However, other teams can't hold back their hips, so now Leeds United is still ranked fourth, 10 points behind Chelsea, and has opened up a gap of 13 points with Manchester City and Manchester United.

It can be seen from this that it is not that Leeds United performed so vigorously, but that Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and other teams did not perform well enough, which makes the dark horse of Leeds United too conspicuous.

In summary, Leeds United's magic weapon is to try their best to grab the points they deserve.

If you encounter a strong team, you will defend. If you encounter a team with equal or weak strength, you will attack him.

Therefore, many people think that Leeds United's football is very good-looking. In fact, it automatically ignores the defense against strong teams.

"Actually, Sarri is still not pragmatic enough. If he were more pragmatic, he would have scored all the points that should be scored and defended all the games that should have been defended. Leeds United's current fourth place will be more stable."

Now, Leeds United is only one point ahead of the team behind them, which is actually very dangerous.

"For example, like losing to Swansea in the away game, this game should not be played like this at all. The loss was 1-3, which severely damaged morale, and then overcorrected. When playing against Stoke City, I rushed too hard and was counterattacked by the opponent's defense. I seized the opportunity and lost 0-1 at home."

When Gao Shen said this, he also had a wry smile on his face.

Sometimes, the head coach is like this, and it is easy to make blind moves when there is a mess.

In that wave of three-game losing streak, Leeds United should have scored at least four points.

"Normally, the head coach is also a human being, not a god. It is impossible not to make no mistakes. Sarri has done a good enough job." Carlo laughed.

Everyone knows that Gao Shen is not complaining about Sarri, but that the requirements are too high.

Sarri was his assistant for three years.

Gao Shen didn't care, and looked at Pochettino again.

"Honestly, your style of football would be particularly pleasing in the Premier League, but take my word for it, Reading, QPR, Wigan Athletic, Aston Villa, Sunderland and Newcastle are not at this stage. Good choice."

"For you, the next step is very important. If you step on it firmly, your career can go up to another level, or even two steps, so you must choose carefully!"
