Chapter 1504 Luxurious Coaching Team

Yang Yang has been preparing his own coaching team since he decided to coach Ajax.

But it's not easy.

In the past few years, Yang Yang has cooperated with many excellent coaches, but they basically have their own fixed teams, and this time Yang Yang also intends to form a coaching team of his own.

"It's basically settled." Yang Yang said with a smile.

It took him nearly half a year of preparation to take shape, and it took him a lot of effort to convince many people.

"Who is there?" Van Gaal, Van der Sar and others were very interested.

"This time I will bring an assistant coach and three coaches into the team. You all know the goalkeeper coach, your old partner and old friend, and now the goalkeeper coach of the Dutch national team, Frans Hoke."

Frans Hawke is not well-known among the fans, even if he is not a very experienced fan, he probably won’t remember him, because he has been following Van Gaal in coaching, from Ajax to Barcelona to Later, Alkmaar, Bayern Munich, the Dutch national team and Manchester United, he has always followed Van Gaal.

After Van Gaal left Manchester United, Frans Hoke was invited back to the Dutch national team. The contract lasted for two years and expired after the World Cup in Russia. It was originally planned to renew the contract, but Yang Yang and Van Gaal intervened. Bar, convinced him.

There is no doubt about Frans Hawk's ability. Needless to say, he has trained many outstanding goalkeepers. Van der Sar, Neuer, De Gea and other goalkeepers have all shined in the hands of Frans Hawke. What's more, he almost rewrote the way of training goalkeepers in European football, especially Spain.

From Valdes, Reina to Casillas, and later Asenjo, De Gea and other goalkeepers, all the training materials come from the legacy left by Frans Hawke when he coached Barcelona. So much so that Frans Hawke still goes to Spain to give lectures and train goalkeeper coaches from time to time over the years.

Yang Yang and Van Gaal have been friends for many years and are naturally familiar with Frans Hawke. When he wanted to form his own coaching team, the first thing that came to his mind was Frans Hawke.

"I communicated with Frans, he is very optimistic about Onana, and I hope he can help us train Onana well."

Yang Yang's words made both Van Gaal and Van der Sar nod their heads. They all trusted Frans Hawke's ability.

"I'll also bring a fitness coach with me, who will be in charge of strength and equipment training, as well as recovery and physical therapy."

When Yang Yang said this, Van Gaal and Van der Sar laughed. Needless to say, they all knew who it was.

"Winston Bogard, the big boss has been comfortable in China for too long in the past few years. I spent a lot of thought and even used aggressive methods to invite him out of the mountain again. I believe that, He can help me control the injuries of the first team well, and at the same time train the physical fitness of the players."

Winston Bogard is also an old familiar with Van Gaal and Van der Sar. He played for this team as early as when Yang Yang played for Ajax, and later became Yang Yang's personal coach. Since then, he has served as a consultant for Liverpool, Real Madrid, the Dutch national team and the Chinese national team many times, and he is very good at physical fitness.

More importantly, he has an irresistible relationship with Yang Yang.

Over the years, many teams have wanted to invite Winston Bogard out of the mountain, but after this guy married his wife, they all lived in China and lived comfortably as a big boss and Internet celebrity fitness coach. Do not move.

Perhaps only Yang Yang can dig him out.

From the perspective of ability, Winston Bogarde has no problems.

"Where's the fitness coach?" Van der Sar asked with interest.

Whether it is Frans Hawke or Winston Bogard, they are all leading professionals in the industry, which shows that Yang Yang has extremely high requirements for his team members.

"Former Real Madrid fitness coach, Antonio Pintus." Yang Yang replied with a smile.

"Pintus?" Van der Sar was a little surprised.

Van Gaal just smiled, as if he wasn't particularly surprised.

Pintus came to Real Madrid with Zidane coaching. In order to poach him, Real Madrid paid Lyon a lot of money, but what they got in exchange was the excellent physical performance of Real Madrid in the past three seasons. Pintus takes the credit behind the scenes.

As we all know, Pintus's physical reserve training is extremely strict and extremely high-intensity. He emphasizes daily training with a ball, carries a ball in almost every training, and emphasizes heart rate in every movement. He has his own set of physical training programs. .

In the past few years when Real Madrid won the Champions League, Pintus was also dug out by the media and gained a great reputation. He is faintly the number one physical coach in European football.

But Yang Yang didn't choose him because of his ability and fame.

A head coach builds a team, the core of which is the head coach, not others.

Just like in Real Madrid, Pintus is indeed very capable, but is he irreplaceable?

No, there are many excellent physical coaches in European football, and his role in Real Madrid has been exaggerated to some extent, because Real Madrid can maintain an excellent state. In addition to Pintus' physical training program, There is also the team's effective rotation mechanism, which is the key to the team's excellent state in the second half.

To some extent, Pintus only provided a set of feasible plans. Yang Yang and Zidane's control of the locker room and effective management of the players allowed this set of plans to be implemented, and the results were gratifying.

Therefore, in Real Madrid's coaching staff, Pintus is not indispensable. Even if he leaves, Zidane can find another physical coach who can implement his ideas and achieve his goals at any time.

Then why did Yang Yang choose Pintus?

The reason is simple, besides his ability, the most important thing is familiarity.

As the saying goes, it is better to use the familiar than the raw.

After Zidane stepped down as Real Madrid coach, Pintus, David Bertoni and others all followed him.

So, after Yang Yang communicated with Zidane, he hired Pintus with his personal friendship.

He believes that Pintus can perform the physical training effect he wants to achieve at Ajax.

If this Ajax team wants to make a difference in the European arena, improving their physical fitness and fitness must be the top priority.

...

Van Gaal and Van der Sar looked at each other in disbelief.

This is definitely the configuration of the Champions League champions. I am afraid that besides Yang Yang, which rookie head coach who has just debuted can handle such a luxurious configuration of the coaching staff?

"By the way, what about the assistant coach?" Van der Sar asked curiously.

Everyone on the coaching team is top-notch, but what about the assistant coaches?

Everyone also looked at Yang Yang very curiously, including Van Gaal.

"Jarvey Alonso."

Van Gaal and Van der Sar looked at each other again.

Xavi Alonso?

Is there a mistake?

"If I remember correctly, he should still be coaching the Real Madrid youth team?" Van Gaal asked uncertainly.

Yang Yang nodded, "Yes, he got the coaching certificate last year. He coached the youth team after an internship and led the team to win the championship."

"Are you sure he is competent?" Van Gaal asked again.

Yang Yang nodded, "I'm very sure, because I know him very well, and I also know his ability."

Harvey Alonso is one of Yang Yang's best friends. The two have been teammates since Liverpool, and then worked together in Real Madrid for several years.

During the year when Harvey Alonso retired, he often discussed coaching issues with Yang Yang. Yang Yang could see that he had a strong ability to analyze and understand tactics, and he was born as a defensive midfielder. That kind of player with a very high golf quotient, so Yang Yang has always believed that Harvey Alonso will be an excellent head coach.

To a certain extent, Yang Yang feels that he is a bit inferior to let Harvey Alonso be his assistant coach now.

Of course, Harvey Alonso himself is happy, because he is looking forward to working with Yang Yang again.

Now that Yang Yang has said so, Van Gaal and Van der Sar have nothing to say, they can only trust them.

Moreover, Yang Yang has always been calm in dealing with the world, and I believe he would not have chosen Harvey Alonso if he hadn't been confident enough.

"In the next period of time, the team will focus on the right back." Yang Yang reminded Van Gaal and Van der Sar again, which shows that he really attaches great importance to the right back.

"I don't know if you have noticed, but the two teams in the final of the Champions League this season have very good wings, and even the four teams in the semi-finals of the Champions League have excellent wings."

Needless to say, Real Madrid, Carvajal and Marcelo, these are the two leading wings in world football today, Liverpool also has excellent wings like Arnold and Robertson, and Roma lost to Liverpool in the first leg. It is precisely to change the formation of three defenders and push the full-back forward.

Bayern Munich's semi-final loss to Real Madrid was also due to the absence of left-back Alaba.

Is this a coincidence?

The answer is not.

In fact, excellent wingers have always been very important. From Alves in Barcelona to the present, and even back to the era of Carlos and Cafu, full-backs have always been very important.

It's only now, in an era of disciplined tactics that emphasize ensembles and compactness, that full-backs have become crucial.

There is only one reason, and that is large-scale transfer!

"In the past few years, the all-round center forward is gradually returning, and the trend is becoming more and more obvious. Now we have Jovic in our team. This kid has excellent physical fitness. He can advance and retreat freely in and out of the penalty area, and has strong running ability. The support, very good, but with Jorge and Tagliafico on the left and not on the right, it doesn't work."

"We must introduce a right back this summer. He is fast and has a strong ability to insert behind. This is very, very important in my tactical map."

Yang Yang said it very seriously, and Van Gaal and Van der Sar also had to take it seriously.

Over the past period of time, they have been looking, but they have not been able to find a suitable right back.

Now that Yang Yang is talking about this, he probably has to pay any price.
