There was a lot of criticism from the outside media, but Yun Sheng didn't pay too much attention to it. Not only did he not care, he even read these critical articles carefully with relish.
Although the words are sharp and the criticism is unpleasant, some of the problems are still very acute, such as the current team's helplessness when facing intensive defense.
In fact, Yunsheng has been conducting targeted training some time ago, especially set-piece training, which is now one of Juventus' important training projects.
Indeed, as "Gazzetta dello Sport" said, Yunsheng has rarely encountered such a strong defense before. There is no weak team in Serie A. Every team's defensive ability is top-notch. Even if it is placed in other leagues, they can Rely on defense to fight against strong teams.
Therefore, in the Champions League, no matter which giant team encounters a Serie A team, they are very cautious.
Now Juventus's best way to deal with intensive defense is to set the ball.
In recent years, Juventus has not had as many set-piece masters as it does now, Del Piero, Guti, Ballack, Diego, Zheng Zhi...
These players were the top set-piece takers in their previous teams. Some of their set-pieces have extremely strong arcs, some are extremely powerful, some are erratic, and some are extremely fast. In general, no matter where Juventus gets a set kick, there is almost always a suitable player to take it.
It is precisely because of this that Yunsheng asked the team to strengthen set-piece training. In addition, the team has players such as Trezeguet and Iaquinta who are excellent headers, and the central defenders Barzagli and Metzelder The height advantage is also obvious, so using set-piece tactics to break through dense defense is one of Yunsheng's goals.
Although the team's offense has encountered some troubles recently, Juventus's set-piece tactics have actually been improving, but they have been slightly unlucky.
Speaking of luck, Yun Sheng felt that he should find some special way to change his luck.
Juventus' luck in losing these two games is indeed very bad.
Grosso's red card against Bologna and Iaquinta's injury against Lecce put Juventus into a 10-on-11 situation for a period of time, which was full of difficulties. This was one of the important reasons why they suffered two consecutive draws. .
And Iaquinta will be out for about half a month due to injury, which has caused Juventus to encounter a lot of trouble.
Juventus currently does not have many rotation players in the center forward line. Players such as Pepe and Zheng Zhi are more suitable for the shadow forward position. They need space to sprint and are not suitable for being at the front. Now, apart from Trezeguet, there is only one pure-blooded center in Iaquinta.
Now that Iaquinta is injured, Trezeguet doesn't even have a substitute player, which makes Yun Sheng a little depressed.
No, it can't be said that there is no center. After all, there is a young boy from China in the youth team.
However, his strength is still far from the Serie A level. Not to mention Trezeguet, not even Iaquinta can compare to him.
How can a substitute player of the Chinese national team compare with the famous French players and Italian internationals?
But there is no way now. The team lacks a center. Even if his strength does not meet his requirements, then he must prepare a substitute player for Trezeguet.
In the next game, Yun Sheng can only hope that the team can seal the victory early before Trezeguet is exhausted and goes off the field. Don't pin your hopes on a young Chinese guy who is still very young...
Next to the Continassa base, the training ground of the Juventus club, the Davivono training center, the youth training base of Juventus, is also here.
The two training bases are not far apart. On weekdays, the youth team training ends slightly later than the first team. Sometimes Yun Sheng will take the first team members next door to see the young people after the first team training and encourage them. .
For these young people, hope is a good thing.
The training tasks this morning were still heavy, especially the set-piece training. Both Speed and Cannavaro were carefully directing the players' positions.
Yun Sheng took some time to go to the youth training base next door.
The head coach of the youth training camp was sorting out information on the sidelines. When he saw Yun Sheng coming, he immediately walked over enthusiastically and started chatting.
Yun Sheng comes here a lot on weekdays. He is very concerned about the youth training situation. He often comes here to observe the development of young people and exchange youth training details with the coaching staff.
In fact, for Yunsheng, the youth training camp is his hometown. After all, in his previous life, he mostly handled the youth training work within the team, and he was very good at cultivating young people.
Moreover, Juventus Youth Training Camp and Yuntian Company's Turin Youth Training Base are now cooperating closely. Coaches and young players from both sides also have frequent exchanges, and Yun Sheng is also very concerned.
"Sir, are you here to see the young players this time, or do you have something else to do?"
"I'm here to see Yu Dabao."
"Oh, I understand, Iaquinta is injured and you need a backup striker, right?"
"Well, how's he doing?"
"The youth team has played a lot better, and he has also scored some goals. Well, how should I put it? He is different from the traditional Italian center. His physical strength and central pillar role need to continue to improve. Speed is one of his advantages. Asia The players are very fast.”
"Then what do you think will be a more appropriate arrangement for him after he joins the first team?"
"Well, it's hard to say. After all, you want him to serve as a substitute for Trezeguet, but his characteristics are completely different from those of the French center. When it comes to technical characteristics, he is even more similar to Raul's characteristics."
"Well, then I'll have to think about it again."
"Considering whether to take him away?"
"Haha, don't even think about keeping him to play in the youth team. You can definitely take him away. I mean you need to think about how to use him better and what position is best for him."
The two were chatting while the players on the training ground were playing a match. Yu Dabao took advantage of a set kick opportunity to ambush behind the goal, grab the ball and hit the goal. The ball went into the net.
Yun Sheng nodded: "In addition to his speed, this kid has a very keen sense of smell in front of the goal. To say that his technical characteristics are like Raul, I don't think it is appropriate. He is like a smaller Ruud Ruud. It feels great to score goals in the penalty area, especially in the small penalty area.”
"But after Iaquinta returns from injury, I think it's better to send him back. If he is left on the bench in the first team, it may not be a good thing for him. Now he needs to compete and continue to adapt to Italian football."
"Man, you're right, that's what I planned. After all, the competition in the first team is too fierce. Unless he can reach the level of rotation like Zheng Zhi, let him continue to improve in the youth team."
"The confrontation is about to end, sir. I'll call him over now."
"good."
