"Didi didi~" the sound of an incoming message sounded in the computer chat room, and a sentence appeared on the public screen of the chat room.
"Jordi, can Ajax's youth training team wear earrings in training?" - Haaland
"I remember it seemed impossible." - Cruyff
Cruyff was puzzled for a while. He was in the Ajax youth training camp when he was young, but he had never seen any of my young players have their ears pierced and wear earrings to play football.
"Lee Winter told me just now that the Portuguese cyclist was really handsome wearing earrings during training before the game. He will also get one when he returns to Ajax." - Haaland
"So, how does it feel to watch football in a top box with rich people?" - Cruyff
Haaland and Schmeichel watched the game in the top box of Porto Dragon Stadium, because George Lee's father, father-in-law, and brother also went to watch the opening ceremony with their three children. The top rich people must be watching the game. Those who appeared in the box were provided with fine wine and food, so as members of the team's coaching staff, Haaland and Schmeichel were also invited to the box.
"Where's George?" -Schmeichel
"I just watched the game on TV. It was too hot, so I went swimming with Chris." - Cruyff
"I heard that you two went to the red light district when you went to the Netherlands?" -Schmeichel
"No, don't talk nonsense." - Cruyff
"Dududu~" At this time, a video invitation popped up on the computer, and several people clicked to agree. As the flash of the camera was turned on, the computer entered the video chat interface, and George Li and Chris Casper also appeared in the video. within the screen.
"Is everyone here?" George Li asked first.
"There are also Brian and Colin. It seems that Brian is not very good at using computers, and Colin is helping him debug." Cruyff Jr. said.
"Oh, Chris, can you put your clothes on first? I'm not used to talking naked with men, damn it." Harland asked Casper to find something to wear first.
"What's wrong, are you afraid that Erlin will tell his mother that his father is videotaping an uncle with no clothes on?" Casper said as he casually picked up a piece of clothing and put it on his shoulders without putting it on.
"Hey hey hey~"
At this time, two more people came into the chat room, one with video footage and one without. The sound came from the person without video footage.
"Hey, hey, can you hear me? Colin, why do you all have pictures but I don't?"
"Brian, I told you, you don't have a camera, so you can only talk, there is no picture."
"Hey, hey, George, can you hear me?"
"Okay, okay, I heard it, Brian." George Li said.
"Damn, this is the first time I have a meeting with this thing. It's so novel."
Here are Leeds United's assistant coach Brian Kidd and fitness coach Colin McGee.
When Brian Kidd was at Manchester United, he trained players including Beckham and Scholes, and was the coach of Lee, Kasper, and McGee.
In March 2000, he was hired as an assistant coach by O'Reilly, the former coach of Leeds United, and later became the head coach of Leeds United in March 2001. But in 2003, after Peter Reed became the team's head coach, Kidd was fired.
After taking over Leeds United, George Lee invited Kidd to return to Leeds as an assistant coach. After all, his current coaching staff is too young and needs an experienced coach to help them grow.
It can be said that assistant coach Brian Kidd and football director Eddie Gray are the two experienced first and second mates beside the young captain Lee George, escorting Leeds United, a ship composed of young people.
"The game is over. Let's have a meeting together to discuss today's game, our previous transfers, and our next transfers. Let's talk about it together. After all, today is the establishment of our coaching staff. The first collective meeting after the meeting." George Li took the lead to speak after everyone gathered.
"..." No one responded to him.
"Everyone, be casual. After all, except for Brian, everyone here is young."
"Bastard, hey, hey, hey~, can you hear me, George, can you hear me scolding you?" Kidd said in the earphones, his voice was a bit loud.
"Okay, you can say it."
"Okay, let me talk first." In the end, it was Brian Kidd who started, "I know why you held this meeting after this game. I also watched the game just now, and combined with the end of your last season Regarding the tactics used at Leeds United, although I am not too clear about the specific content of what you call a high press, I would like to know if our frontcourt players have enough physical fitness to support the entire game if the press is pressed for a long time.”
"Brian, physical fitness is something Colin needs to care about. If the Leeds players can't meet my needs next season, I will fire Colin."
"Leave it to me. Next season, except for Paul Robinson, I will make the average running distance of the starting players reach 20 kilometers." Colin McGee followed the conversation between the two of them and joked.
"You can really brag. David only ran 16 kilometers at most." Casper exposed McGee.
The record for the highest running distance was set by David Beckham in the 2001 World Cup qualifiers. During England's match against Greece, Beckham set the record for the highest running distance in world football in a single game of 16.1 kilometers. It remains so to this day. Then Beckham ended the game with a free kick in stoppage time after running 16 kilometers.
"Everyone saw Greece's first goal in this game. Through frontcourt pressure, it forced the opposite full-back to make a mistake. After getting the ball, he directly attacked the goal. It was clean and neat." Li George recalled for everyone what happened in the game just now. First goal.
"In other words, if we succeed in pressing in the frontcourt and we get the ball, we can shorten the distance of the attack. In the most perfect state, we can shoot directly, or form a pattern to hit more and less, so that we can It's easier to score goals." Kidd continued the professional question.
"Suppose we don't gain the ball through pressing in the frontcourt. We can first slow down the opponent's counterattack speed by pressing up, and then reduce the quality of the opponent's counterattack by pressing. As long as the opponent's counterattack slows down, our The defensive players will have enough time to position themselves and form a better defense, right." George Lee continued to explain after Kidd's words.
"Yeah, yeah."
"By pressing, we let the opponent blindly play the ball forward and make blind clearances, then we can easily regain the ball. When the ball returns to our hands, we can then attack again."
"Actually, through the games at the end of last season, I can also see some clues. Smith and Viduka forced the opponent to make ball mistakes many times through constant running and pressure."
"I don't think it's enough to just rely on the forwards. This season I changed to 433. Three frontcourts, two central midfielders, and two full-backs will join in the high-position press in the frontcourt."
"Ah~, this~, will there be a counterattack? Teams like Arsenal and Manchester United can definitely pose a threat through high-quality counterattacks."
"This must be a step-by-step process, take it slowly and step by step." George Li doesn't want to become a fat man in one go.
"Yes, we managed to avoid relegation last season. I don't think we need to set our goals too high this season. After all, we have already suffered a big loss in this regard." Kidd is still a veteran.
A few years ago, Leeds United achieved certain results in the Premier League and European Leagues. Because the management acted too hastily and had overly optimistic expectations about future income, the debts caused by Leeds United's expansion destroyed their everlasting hope in the new century. hope.
So Kidd will ask these young people to lower their goals and take one step at a time.
Casper laughed loudly and said: "As long as George is not demoted, George cannot be fired; as long as George is not fired, we will not lose our jobs. Right?"
"That's not certain. What if Brian is counting on George to leave the get out of class midway so that he can take over the head coaching position." McGee continued to joke about Kidd.
"You two brats."
"Okay, let's take a look at Greece's second goal..."
George Li began to combine his tactical thoughts with the game just now.
