The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 144 Why?
Every winter, many Europeans go south to the warm Iberian Peninsula for vacation.

Among them, Mallorca and the Canary Islands are undoubtedly the most popular places for tourists, because they have a warm climate and natural beaches, and they can enjoy the comfort that is impossible in the cold north.

Coming to Mallorca from the icy and snowy northern Europe, Ye Qiu was a little uncomfortable, but in the past two years, he has always insisted on physical exercise, so his physical fitness is good, and he didn't have any colds. The players in the team They were all equally healthy, but some of the staff fell ill.

In order to avoid infection, Ye Qiu simply asked them to take a vacation and rest, and then work with the team after their illnesses recovered.

The most important part of the two-week winter break training camp is to focus on physical adjustments and stamina reserves. In terms of skills and tactics, Ye Qiu's team's overall framework has almost run in, and he has a good understanding of the players' technical characteristics. It was clear that there were not many changes in the general direction that really needed to be done, but in terms of training items, Ye Qiu came up with new tricks.

In his Godfather Cultivation System, the new training method is divided into three levels. The elementary level is the foundation, the upgraded version is the intermediate level, which is considered to be further improved, and the advanced version is the advanced version. The cost is quite expensive, and Ye Qiu almost spent it. I spent two years of savings, a total of 1000 reward points, to buy this advanced version.

Expensive is a bit expensive, but it is also genuine. Unlike the elementary and intermediate levels, the advanced version has two sets of training methods, penetration and air cutting.

The four corners of a square with a length of 10 meters are still four points ABCD. Player A passes the ball to position B, player B suddenly runs diagonally to position D, player D runs to position C, and player C is Quickly ran back from position C to position B. After receiving the ball, player C passed to position C. Player D who returned to position C ran diagonally to position A. Player A ran to position D, while before running to position D Player B in position quickly retreats to position C to receive the ball.

This is a set of square attacking phalanx that can only be formed by 4 players, but in this set of attacking phalanx, there are actually two triangles to form, of which two players are responsible for cover and support, and the other two players complete the pass-and-receive coordination.

The reason why this is called penetration is actually because this kind of penetration coordination under high-density defensive pressure, through this smooth and fast penetration coordination, can directly disintegrate the opponent's defensive system, and then smoothly transport the ball to the opponent's within 30 meters.

Another set of training methods is called air cutting. As the name suggests, penetration focuses on passing and coordination, while air cutting focuses on running positions.

There are still four players ABCD, player A takes the ball at position A, player C runs from position C to point A, player A calculates the speed of player C, and passes the ball to his exactly when he reaches the middle area of ​​the square feet, and then started to sprint by himself, quickly rushing to point C.

Player C stops the ball in the middle area. According to the situation after receiving the ball, it seems that he wants to pass it to players B and D, or to pass it to player A who passed by him. If it is passed to A, player A It is to take the ball directly to point C, and if it is passed to B and D, these two players will pass the ball to point C, so that A who sprints over can take the ball.

This set of training methods mainly trains the tacit understanding of the players' air-cutting and back-running cooperation in intensive defense. The biggest effect is to target the opponent's zone defense, using this kind of back-running and air-cutting running to separate the opponent's players from each other. The distance between them forms a loophole.

Generally speaking, at the speed of professional players, even if it is slow, as long as the distance between defensive players can be opened to 15 meters, they can create a threat. If it is opened to 20 meters, then almost every time they run If the ball can be passed in place, it is fatal. If it is near the front of the penalty area, it will be single-handed almost every time.

Penetration is mainly aimed at man-to-man, while air-cutting is aimed at areas. These two sets of training methods are aimed at man-to-man and area defense, the only two defensive methods in football tactics. Ye Qiu launched these two sets of training The purpose of the method is to hope that players can practice purely, and then become an instinct, switching at will during the game.

The current football defense is an organic combination of man-to-man and zone defense. Many times you can't tell whether it is zone defense or man-to-man. Therefore, skillfully switch between these two different offensive methods according to the situation of the game. This will undoubtedly maximize the offensive ability of Ajax players.

As for the back pass and cross pass, these are also items that Ye Qiu has practiced a lot, because the return pass can guarantee the ball control to the maximum extent, and ensuring ball control is to ensure one's control over the game, and the cross pass is also of great tactical effect , because the cross pass can better expose the opponent's depth loopholes, and then provide the opportunity for a direct pass.

But obviously, penetration and air cutting are very complicated, and the requirements for players are also very high. Whether it is a one-foot touch or a tacit cooperation between each other, there are very high requirements. Take it easy, this undoubtedly poses a higher training difficulty for Ajax players.

At least, in the two-week training camp in Mallorca, even if the Ajax first team has been able to skillfully use the primary and intermediate versions of the new training method, it is still full of mistakes and omissions when practicing penetrating air cuts, exposing the Lots of questions.

But Ye Qiu believes that with the first two sets of training methods as a foundation, as long as more time is given, the players will be able to quickly adapt to the advanced version of the new training method. There will be a qualitative leap in strength.

When Ye Qiu led the team to conduct a low-key training camp in Mallorca, the transfer market in Europe during the winter break refused to let them calm down. First, it was reported that Bayern Munich hoped to import from Ajax at a price of 800 million euros. The main central defender Lucio, followed by Manchester United coach Ferguson said that the team has issued an offer to Ajax, asking for 1200 million euros.

These two are rich and powerful, and they are the most combative teams in European football in the past two years. At the same time, they have taken a fancy to Ajax's central defender. This undoubtedly caused a lot of repercussions in the European transfer market.

As far as central defenders are concerned, there seems to be no shortage. There are many good central defenders, such as Nesta, Cannavaro, Samuel...

But which of these central defenders is not expensive?Which one is not the backbone of a big team?

Leaving aside these central defenders in Serie A and looking at European football, there are not many central defenders who have emerged over the years that can really make people shine and at the same time have a satisfactory performance on the court.

Compared with these central defenders, Lucio's advantages and disadvantages are quite obvious, but his performance is constantly improving, and his shortcomings are constantly improving. More importantly, his price is relatively low for those central defenders. As far as the rich teams are concerned, it is indeed not high.

Therefore, the two hottest central defenders in the transfer market are Eindhoven's Hovland and Ajax's Lucio.

Ye Qiu was also the first to receive the news. He immediately called Van Prager and told the club chairman very clearly that Lucio was of great value in his tactical system, and he did not want the Brazilian central defender to transfer.

"If Lucio is lost, it will be hard for me to imagine who will fill his vacancy!"

Kolo Toure is not stable enough to play as a central defender, and whether it is him or Heitinga, the combination with Kivu will cause Ajax to weaken in the air, at least facing the twin towers of PSV Eindhoven, Ye Qiu didn't have enough confidence.

Ye Qiu's strong reaction made Van Prager react immediately in Amsterdam, saying that Ajax would never sell the central defender, and at the same time denied that the club had any connection with Bayern Munich and Manchester United.

And Ye Qiu in Mallorca, Spain, found Lucio after a training session.

…………

…………

Mallorca is full of beaches and tourists. If you are lucky, you might see a few people enjoying celestial baths. As for whether they are beautiful or not, it's hard to say.

"Head, look over there!"

Walking on a beach near the hotel, Lucio pointed to the back of a woman not far away, and smiled coquettishly as a reminder.

Ye Qiu looked at it and found that his waistline was thick, so he shook his head, "Water, I guess he's not too young."

Lucio laughed loudly, "Zlatan likes this kind of older ones. I heard that after training yesterday evening, they went to the beach, and he specifically looked for those young women in their thirties. The taste is too strong."

Although it was a training camp, Ye Qiu emphasized the training time. Outside of the training time, he still gave the players enough relaxation. As for whether the players would stay in the hotel, play games and watch TV, or go to the beach to hook up with girls, Ye Qiu had no idea. This is not too restrictive.

But everyone knows Ye Qiu's rules, work and rest time must be strictly followed, and training sessions must go all out.

Ye Qiu guessed that Ibrahimovic lacked family warmth since he was a child. He probably doesn't like those little girls who need to be taken care of by boyfriends. He should prefer those who can take care of him. A woman older than him.

"What about you? I heard that you are getting married?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.

About Lucio's getting married, Ye Qiu heard about it from the players. He heard that after the World Cup, his wife was a girl from his hometown. Ye Qiu didn't know what she looked like, and he had never seen it before. , and never heard Lucio mention it.

The Brazilian central defender is actually a very low-key person. He never even let his wife come to the Arenal Stadium.

"Well, get married after the World Cup!" With Lucio's current status in the Brazilian national team, participation in the World Cup is a certainty. He and Gilberto Silva are the core players that Scolari trusts very much.

"Boss, I have always been very grateful to you for bringing me to Europe, so this summer, you must go to Brazil, and there are others." Listing Ye Qiu separately shows his status in Lucio's heart.

Coming to the Netherlands from Brazil, although Lucio only plays in the Eredivisie, his situation is completely different from Brazil. He earns more money here, plays fewer games, and at the same time he has a higher reputation. And the life here is very comfortable and quiet, not as chaotic and troublesome as in Brazil.

Of course, he has never forgotten that he is a Brazilian, so he has always considered it his duty and bounden duty to play for the Brazilian national team.

"I'll definitely go!" Ye Qiu nodded in agreement.

The two of them stepped on the soft beach, both wearing flip flops, the sand got into the shoes, and the soles of the feet stepped on it, itchy and very comfortable, especially when combined with the laughter of the surrounding tourists, it made people feel happy Can't help but get better.

"Do you know that Bayern Munich and Manchester United are interested in you recently?" Ye Qiu asked as he walked.

Lucio's agent is Elisa, Ye Qiu has known the news for a long time, Bayern Munich and Manchester United have contacted Elisa, and the latter also passed it on to Lucio, but Eliza does not support Lucio. Theo's transfer was not because of her relationship with Ye Qiu, but for the long-term development of Lucio's career.

It's just that I heard that Lucio was a little hesitant.

"I know, I..." Facing Ye Qiu, Lucio couldn't lie, "...I don't know what to do now."

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled, nodded and said, "That's right, who doesn't want to play games at Old Trafford and the Olympic Stadium in such a high-ranking and wealthy team? Only the best players in the world are eligible. On the stage, no one can resist the temptation from there."

Lucio turned his head to the side and looked at Ye Qiu with some confusion, shouldn't he stop himself?

Sure enough, Ye Qiu changed the subject when he said this, "But have you ever thought about it, Lucio, have you ever thought about why so many players join the giants, but they have never been able to make their names in the giants?" head?"

Lucio was taken aback by Ye Qiu's question. He really couldn't answer this question, but he was very clear that this question did exist.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about how many players from Brazil enter the four major European leagues every year?But how many people can really make a name for themselves?Even Denilson, who was placed high hopes by Brazilian domestic fans as the hope for the revival of Brazilian football, was disgraced in Real Betis.

The wealthy teams are very good, with high salaries, good treatment, and high attention. They have become famous all over the world, but behind these benefits, the pressure brought by the wealthy teams is also very huge, not to mention the offensive players. As long as the defensive player has a slight leak, it is very likely that he will be directly sent to the [-]th floor of hell, and will never be reborn.

Lucio is not an idiot, when Ye Qiu said that, he understood what the head coach meant.

Everyone has the desire to join a wealthy family, and everyone knows that it is good to join a wealthy family. The key issue is that you have to have enough strength.

"Do you think you are really ready?" Ye Qiu stopped and looked at Lucio.

The Brazilian wanted to nod. If someone asked him, he must have nodded, because he was confident, but Ye Qiu knew him too well. If Ye Qiu felt that he was not good enough for the time being, would he really think he was good enough?

"I won't say much about others. I think that in our team, so far, the only one who has a firm foothold in the top league and even performed well is Gilberto Silva."

Ye Qiu could see a little bit of dissatisfaction in Lucio's eyes, and smiled slightly, "Your personal ability is very good, but don't forget that as a central defender, your defensive awareness still needs to be improved. When you think about what you did in the Eredivisie and what you did in the Champions League, you will understand."

Lucio has nothing to say now, his strongest is one-on-one defense, and the attack from the back. If you only look at it from the perspective of a central defender, his performance in the Eredivisie is really not as good as Hovland .

"You know what my first reaction is when I hear the news that those big clubs want you?"

Lucio shook his head, "I don't know."

"I want to scold you in person, fuck you!" Ye Qiu said with a smile, "Just to Heathfield and Ferguson, if it wasn't in public, I might really scold you in person."

Lucio was a little surprised, because they were all famous European marshals, scolding them face to face, isn't that too much?

"I don't understand. They are rich, but what's the matter with the rich? Are the rich great? The rich can say, I can buy whoever I want, and everyone has to come to me obediently? Why? Just because they are Wealthy? I think they are robbers!"

When Ye Qiu said this, Lucio was a little embarrassed. When he heard that Manchester United and Bayern Munich were interested in him, his first reaction was indeed happy, but now hearing what Ye Qiu said, he seemed a little bit embarrassed. Reasonable, why should you be happy to join a wealthy family?What is there to be happy about?

"Look at those giants, Barcelona was killed by us, Liverpool also fell to the ground, and Bayern Munich also fell at our feet. What do they have to be proud of, and why should we belittle ourselves?"

When he said this, Ye Qiu sighed, stepped on the soft sand, walked forward slowly a few steps, and looked at the distant horizon, "I also know very well that everyone, whether it is a player or Coaches are all proud to join and take charge of giant teams, but I know one thing better, that is, everyone has their own value."

"In my own opinion, before joining a giant, I must first prove my worth, and the way I prove my worth is to beat more and stronger opponents of the giants on the football field, beat them to death, let They understand my value, and at that time, the initiative will be in my hands!"

Ye Qiu didn't say it, but Lucio heard it, that was the other way around, joining a wealthy team before proving his worth, and he might be abandoned by the wealthy team anytime, anywhere. Are there not many precedents like this?

"I hope you think about it. It's not the time for you to join a big team. I believe that there is nothing to regret if you miss Bayern Munich and Manchester United, because in the near future, you and I, and Aja After defeating powerful opponents time and time again in the Champions League, and proving his worth time and time again, there will be more Bayern Munich and more Manchester United."

Ye Qiu pointed to Lucio, "That's the best time for you to step into a wealthy family!"
