Star Coach

Pochettino never dreamed that he would become Jiangshan's assistant coach one day. Since he retired sadly in 2006, he didn't want to leave the football circle and has been looking for an opportunity to become a coach.

Just three days ago, he received a call from Jiangshan.

"Hey, Pochettino, come with me to lead Atletico to win the championship?" Jiangshan invited directly. He took 0.1 seconds to think about it and got the best result.

"Must."

So, Pochettino took office and became Jiangshan's assistant coach. With him, there were also physical coaches, goalkeeper coaches and others. The others were all old players, and Pochettino filled the pit left by Simeone.

Jiangshan has led several assistant coaches, starting with Tuchel, then Guardiola, and then Simeone. Except for Guardiola who was still lurking in the Barcelona youth team, the others became the head coaches of the team, and Simeone even became the head coach of a wealthy team.

Along with Pochettino, there are several young players that Jiangshan asked to buy. Their eyes are also full of curiosity about foreign countries and expectations of making achievements.

Vidal and Sanchez often walk together. Both of them are Chileans and have something to talk about; the other group is three Germans, Khedira, Mertesacker, and the young Reus.

Pochettino's first impression is that Reus is really handsome, but unfortunately his skills and mentality are not mature enough. If he trains for a few years, he will probably be a heartthrob again.

In fact, Khedira looks very manly, has excellent physical conditions, and is very good at picking up girls.

Of course, Diego Costa, who is dark and thin and looks like a 40-year-old man, came to the team with them. This guy has Brazilian ancestry, but his football skills are completely unlike those of Brazilians, and he even has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After a few days of adaptation training, Jiangshan talked to Costa and prepared to rent Costa out for training.

Gabi's contract has expired, and he accepted the new contract offered by the team. There is no other reason, because of Jiangshan.

Jiangshan called him a long time ago, hoping that he could stay in the team, and also described the team's future blueprint to Gabi. This young guy has already obeyed Jiangshan wholeheartedly.

Everyone knows that players who have a good relationship with Jiangshan, obedient players, or players who work hard in training and competition can get opportunities and become the darlings of the fans.

When Torres saw Jiangshan, he was actually a little shy, as if he had seen a star, and he looked a little cute.

"Leaving Atletico is a difficult decision. I had already decided to follow Mr. Benítez and join Liverpool." Torres opened his heart when Jiangshan called him to talk, "But I changed my mind when I heard that the team invited you here."

"I am very determined to stay in Atletico, no need to think."

Jiangshan always smiled and encouraged Torres to cooperate well with Aguero. As long as they cooperated properly, they could even kill all the forward combinations in La Liga.

The team's training ground was full of laughter and Jiangshan was experimenting with tactics slowly. He saw the combination of central defenders Pablo and Perea, and he was relieved. The two central defenders, one calm and the other brave, were a perfect match, and they had a good understanding. It would be very difficult for Mertesacker to grab a position.

Of course, adding a backup central defender is a must for the team. The German international will start from the bench this season.

"Our lineup next season is all young people? Is it too risky?" Pochettino asked Jiangshan doubtfully, "Especially in the frontcourt, except Torres, everyone else does not have enough experience, can it be good?"

"They are all young people, there are unlimited possibilities, they don't have too many ideas, the only idea is to fight, they have enough physical strength, speed and awareness can keep up, what's wrong with it?" Jiangshan asked back.

They are all young people, just right for the tactics he is about to experiment. Pressing in the frontcourt, even pressing in the whole court.

This set of tactics must be practiced first before it can be prepared for Guardiola's invincible Barcelona. Jiangshan believes that as long as he is still in La Liga, it will be more difficult for Barcelona to win the six championships than ever before.

That unique team has been targeted. Jiangshan has already thought of a way to crack it, and is even ready to use a season of training to compete with the peak Barcelona.

"I don't care how you handle the ball, you must play in my way now." Jiangshan stopped training, "Now it's just training. Even in the friendly match, no matter how difficult the situation is, even if we lose the game, we must implement my tactics."

"Running and passing must be fast. The players in the front court must move quickly to the weak side. When the back court players pass the ball, they must have enough confidence. Continue training."

Jiangshan is not afraid of being uncomfortable during training, nor is he afraid of the team's failure in training matches and friendly matches. As long as the team can adapt to the tactics in the new season, the team will definitely perform well.

He is confident that this is a team full of vigor and vitality. Moreover, most of the players in the team are very good at running, have abundant physical strength, and have a strong style.

Raul Garcia can be called dirty, and dirty work and hard work seem to be his favorite thing. No matter what means he uses, he must block the opponent's attack.

"Will this guy bring bad luck to my team? Will he cause dissatisfaction to the referee?" Jiang Shan thought, not quite sure.

He had spent a few years in Spain, and he was very adaptable to study and life there. Of course, he also knew the mentality of the fans. Fans like to see players who control the ball crazily, but don't like rough players.

If Raul Garcia appears in the Premier League, he will definitely be welcomed by all teams. The Premier League likes tough guys and iron-blooded collisions.

When the team's tactical training took shape, Jiangshan led the team to the United States for training. He also had to participate in various tours and exhibition matches. To put it bluntly, he was making money while preparing for the game.

Atletico Madrid became the focus of attention from all parties because of its head coach. Spanish TV Channel 5 even sent their most beautiful female anchor to accompany the team.

Sara Caranero accepted the task and agreed without saying a word. She dreamed of following Jiangshan's team.

Atletico Madrid's performance also became the focus of all parties. Every game in the United States would cause media discussion. Even a TV station in China bought the broadcasting rights.

What was the result of the warm-up match? Everyone collapsed. Is this team really Jiangshan's team? Lost in the first game, lost in the second game, lost in the third game, and finally did not lose in the fourth game, but tied. Three consecutive losses plus a draw, this is Atletico Madrid's performance in the warm-up match in the United States.

"I am very satisfied with the team's performance. The players implemented my tactical intentions. They are improving in every game. I am very satisfied with their mental state." Jiangshan said to Sara after the game.

Sara didn't know how to make up for these words. Tears welled up in her eyes. She thought, "Can you say something else? Your team has lost three games in a row..."

The fans were quiet, and some media began to criticize Jiangshan's tactics.

Atletico's tactics looked very chaotic. The players were running around and there was no threat. In the first game, there was a funny scene where the players bumped into each other. Compared with Real Madrid and Barcelona's undefeated record in the warm-up matches, Atletico's performance was simply a pile of shit.
