Chapter 788: The Gravedigger of Barcelona
Chapter 788 Barcelona’s Gravedigger
Gao Shen was still in Birmingham when he received the news that Manchester United had been upset by Leeds United.
In the third round of the League Cup, Manchester City challenged Birmingham away.
Gao Shen also played as a substitute and in the rotation, but still defeated his opponent 2-0 in the away game.
Giroud and Sturridge each scored one goal.
When Gao Shen learned that Leeds United had unexpectedly defeated Manchester United 4-3 at home, his first reaction was surprise.
real or fake?
The news came out quickly.
Gao Shen watched the news all the way from Birmingham to Manchester, and the more he watched, the more interesting it became.
"Isn't this old guy Ferguson so angry?" Gao Shen laughed loudly.
He even had the urge to make a phone call and "comfort" Sir Alex.
After returning to Carrington, Gao Shen directly called Su Qing to get a general understanding of the situation, and then he, Carlo and others watched the game in the office.
Needless to say, the game was really going back and forth.
The biggest problem in this game is that Manchester United's defense does not have any main players, including the goalkeeper.
The main central defender is Ferriers. You can imagine Ferguson's formation for this game.
This directly led to the entire first half, with both sides going back and forth and fighting fiercely.
Three to three, this first half was really exciting.
But the problems revealed are also huge.
"The defense is still not good. Look at the time when Maguire defended Irving alone, it was terrible..." Carlo smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"There were two other goals conceded. Leeds United's defense still needs to be improved, but the offense played really well."
As soon as Carlo finished speaking, Brian Kidd over there retorted.
"You are asking based on the standards of the Premier League and even the upper reaches of the Premier League. Where did the Championship team get Owen? Where did Berbatov and Giggs come from?"
"That's true." Carlo also realized his problem.
In the face of the powerful Manchester United offense, Leeds United's defensive problems were fully exposed.
The combination of Koulibaly and Maguire was really disabled in the first half.
In the second half, Sarri obviously made adjustments, and Manchester United also adjusted the midfield and frontcourt, so the situation became tense in the second half.
Gao Shen doesn't have any objections to the performance of the two central defenders, mainly because of their youth.
Koulibaly is only 20 years old and Maguire is only 18 years old. They are facing veterans like Owen, Berbatov and Giggs. If they can hold on to the second half, that is considered very good.
If they really rely on them to keep Manchester United clean, wouldn't Leeds United be in trouble?
"Being able to hold on in the second half, in addition to the adjustment of the defensive formation, the stabilization of Courtois' performance is also the key." Lopis analyzed.
"There were a few times when I faced Manchester United's shots that I could tell that his saves were indeed faster."
"Spinelli?" Gao Shen asked.
Lopis nodded, "Italy has many very stylish characteristics in goalkeeper training, such as using your feet to control the ball to start an attack, and being more proactive when making crosses. These are the characteristics of traditional Italian goalkeepers, and Buffon has them."
Everybody can see it.”
Buffon is considered a master among Italian goalkeepers, almost perfect!
"Courtois is very tall. In his previous training in Belgium, when making a save, he always took a step forward before making a save, but this is no longer in line with the current situation. Today's football is lighter.
, the ball speed is faster.”
"So, you can take a look at the side dive that Courtois made just now to save Berbatov. It was obvious that he first moved laterally and then jumped out, and the whole speed of falling to the ground was faster."
"This is also a change in goalkeeper training in Italy in recent years."
In the eyes of professionals, they can naturally see more ways.
After Lopez's analysis, it seems that this is really the case.
Gao Shen also knows that Spinelli is focusing on training Courtois's foot skills. He is a wide player and is good at his feet. Now he is constantly strengthening the training of his foot skills, especially his wide kick.
In the past, when they were in Belgium, they didn't have a high forward in the team, so wide kicks were of no use. Nine times out of ten, they would be given to the opponent. But now, with tall players like Benteke and Bolasie in front, wide kicks are useless.
The feet are also pretty good.
In addition to Courtois, some young players at Leeds United are also making continuous progress.
For example, Pogba's performance is getting better and better.
"It's okay to beat Manchester United. It's a big upset, so I'm proud of myself, but there's still a long way to go." Gao Shen is quite sensible.
Let alone other things, as far as the League Cup is concerned, Leeds United don't know how far they can go, they can only play one game at a time.
"I think you can look forward to it, Paco Cerullo and Juan Vera are still very trustworthy." Carlo smiled.
Speaking of this pair of experts, he really admired Gao Shen's courage.
…
When mentioning Barcelona's La Masia, many people's first reaction is youth training, then Barcelona's godfather Cruyff, then reformer Louis van Gaal, and now Guardiola...
But many people have not noticed that in fact, people like Cruyff, Van Gaal and Guardiola are the jewels in the crown.
To give the simplest example, Guardiola's autobiography briefly talks about the reforms he launched after coaching Barcelona's second team. But if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that in fact, all his measures are aimed at one thing.
It means selecting and using youth training talents.
Does it matter?
Very important.
The biggest problem with Real Madrid's youth training is that youth team players cannot be used by the first team.
Of course, this involves Real Madrid's business philosophy.
There is a saying that goes well: Barcelona’s goal is Real Madrid, and Real Madrid’s goal is the world.
Chelsea's youth training is also very strong. They have searched for countless talents from all over the world. The youth team has excellent results, but it is not used in the first team. Why?
From Mourinho to Scolari to Villas-Boas, all head coaches are rushing for results. How to use them?
This is actually a very common phenomenon.
The more top-notch giants are, the stronger their youth training is. It doesn’t matter if they train well at home or import semi-finished products, the youth training is very strong anyway.
The real crux is how to select and use them.
Therefore, Guardiola's reforms in the second team were very successful.
But if you think about it carefully, you will know, is this the foundation of a youth training team?
Obviously not.
If you cannot cultivate talents, no matter how good you select and use them, they will all be nothing.
Youth training and youth training, the most critical foundation is to train young players.
To put it simply: I can use it, but you can’t live without it.
Gao Shen is a fan of Real Madrid, but he must admit that the promotion of professional football by the Barcelona Dream Team is subversive!
Good is good, bad is bad, we have to seek truth from facts.
In the final analysis, football is about controlling the ball.
At this point, Bayern Munich's Big Three have given the most authoritative demonstration.
That’s because they spent a lot of money to hire Guardiola!
By 2021, which team does not value the ability to pass and control the ball?
Which head coach doesn't pay attention to this aspect?
Barcelona’s youth training coaches and experts are spread throughout European football and even around the world.
This is a fact!
When the whole world votes with their feet, they must admit that this is the direction.
Seeking truth from facts is the ladder of progress, being complacent will only make you stagnate.
But when all teams are poaching, they are poaching some youth training experts or coaches, including football directors or technical directors. For example, didn’t Manchester City poach Soriano and Begiristain directly in the previous life?
Few people can dig into the foundation of Barcelona's youth training.
That's because there is a rather magical department in Barcelona's La Masia, the Methodology Department!
Van Gaal said: "The whole world is proud of Barcelona. The difference between Barcelona and other clubs is that they use the same philosophy to train young players."
The methodology department is responsible for maintaining the inheritance of this set of concepts.
Their role is to keep up with the times and study the world's most advanced methods of training players, and arrange the most scientific and reasonable training courses for La Masia and the young players of the first team.
This is the source from which Barcelona’s youth training can continuously produce talents.
I believe that in the advanced year of 2021, no one will doubt that European football, and even football around the world, are studying assembly line training for players.
And Barcelona is the best and most advanced in this field.
Of course, that was in 2021.
Now, in 2011, Barcelona is still summarizing and analyzing the success of the Dream Team 3, and is still improving their so-called training methodology.
In Gao Shen's previous life, he once saw a video of Paco Cerullo, the head of Barcelona's training methodology department, using a video of Messi's game to explain and analyze the game to young players. There was a passage in it that Gao Shen liked very much.
"Time defines our lives. Our lives are not defined by space, but by the time we spend doing something in this space."
"In real life, one-hundredth of a second or one-tenth of a second doesn't mean anything, it can even be meaningless, but in football, you can see that these times can mean nothing.
One goal, one victory."
This is a very mysterious statement, it sounds like philosophy, but if you start from this point, you will find that whoever does more, faster, more accurately and clearly in the same time can win a confrontation and win
a match.
The training methodology department mainly conducts theoretical research and exploration, as well as the arrangement and research of various training courses.
It is these theories that instill in young players the most primitive understanding and knowledge of football, and it is these courses that train and strengthen players' performance on the court.
The people who will be in charge of Barcelona's training methodology department in the future are 65-year-old Paco Cerullo and 57-year-old Juan Villa.
Thanks to the great Barcelona President Rosell and Vice President Bartomeu, they cut all aspects of the budget as soon as they took office.
From Guardiola's coaching team to La Masia, which invests nearly tens of millions every year, the research on training methodologies that seems to be the most useless and has no practical use is naturally included in the shelved list.
This gave Gao Shen a chance to poach people and become the gravedigger of Barcelona's youth training!
As soon as Rodolfo Borrell, who was born in Barcelona, heard the news, he immediately contacted Gao Shen and recommended these two veterans who had worked at Barcelona for 20 to 30 years.
Gao Shen took Borrell to Barcelona in person to meet with Paco Cerullo and Juan Vera.
Currently, Barcelona does not have a so-called training methodology department, and Barcelona has not officially invested in research and exploration in this area. In addition, the management keeps cutting budgets and funds, which makes both of them very depressed.
At this time, Gao Shen's olive branch and Gao Shen's idea of combining big data made both of them shine.
The two sides hit it off immediately, and the two came to Leeds United.
Since Leeds United does not yet have a complete youth training echelon, they are currently working in the first team and two youth teams.
After all, Leeds United's first team is also full of young players, which is suitable for them to study.
