Super Storm

At the end of August each year, media attention around the world is focused on the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco.

The UEFA Champions League group draw and UEFA awards ceremony held here attracted the attention of the media and fans around the world.

But few people noticed that in the beginning of September after the Champions League draw every year, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, a crucial head coaching summit, the UEFA Elite Coaching Summit, will also be held.

This official summit in the field of professional coaching, founded in 1999, is regarded as the authority of the world's football coaching field. Only the best and best performing coaches in European football last season are eligible to be invited participate.

The reputation of the elite coaching summit is not well-known, and even many fans have never heard of it, but his influence on European football is not weak, because many major changes in the past were initiated from this summit. of.

For example, the referee issues discussed in the past few years and implemented in the past few years, as well as the unification of the transfer time of major leagues proposed last year and the cancellation of the away goal system of the UEFA Cup Cup.

These proposals have been valued by UEFA, many of which have been put into practice, and have caused major changes in European football.

But all of this is not well known, because the head coach has never been the protagonist of European football.

Until this year, the invitation of the protagonist of the world football to bring this elite conference that is not valued by the media and fans to the world, and attracted the attention of the world.

That is Yang Yang!

...

After taking away the UEFA Player of the Year award and the best striker award from Monaco, Yang Yang returned to Madrid and did not rest for two days. He immediately flew to Nyon, Switzerland, to participate in the UEFA elite coach. Summit.

This is the first time he has received an invitation to this summit.

The summit lasted two days. In addition to more than a dozen European football first-line coaches, Zidane, Allegri and Lucescu, all of whom are well-known in Europe, are invited guests. Famous coach, among whom Lucescu is most proud of the coaching experience of Shakhtar Donetsk.

The players all went back to participate in the national team game, even if there is no national team task, they are still staying in Valdebebas, training with Harvey Alonso and others, which makes Yang Yang very relieved.

But for the next schedule, Yang Yang was always at ease.

Flying from Madrid to Geneva, then boarding the hotel's welcome car from Geneva, heading north to a high-end spa resort hotel designated by UEFA, Yang Yang is considering the next game throughout the journey.

It was almost noon when we arrived at the hotel.

However, under the scorching sun, many media and fans gathered early in the hotel outside the gate of the hotel. They all squatted outside the gate of the hotel, waiting for Yang Yang and others to appear.

When the hotel limousine drove past, many people saw Yang Yang sitting in the back row, suddenly shouting and chasing frantically.

Although it was soon blocked by the hotel's security guards, the scene was almost out of control.

This made Yang Yang sitting in the car feel helpless.

He became more and more aware that personal privacy was getting farther and farther away from him.

...

After getting off the welcome car, Yang Yanggang stepped into the hotel lobby and heard a familiar voice from afar.

"Hey, Yang, here." Zidane beckoned to Yang Yang from afar.

Behind the bald head of France, there are other coaches, such as Liverpool coach Klopp, Manchester City coach Guardiola, Napoli coach Ancelotti, Arsenal coach Emery, and Paris Saint-Germain coach Tuch Yeah.

When Yang Yang saw the crowd, he stepped forward with a smile and shook hands with them one by one to say hello.

The atmosphere at the scene was still very warm, and the beginning of the topic was naturally the moment outside.

"I used to meet here every year, although there are occasional media reporters coming, but like the battle just now, only appeared this year, it seems to be younger." Ancelotti haha ​​laughed and ridiculed Yang Yang. .

Everyone knows that Yang Yang is the youngest of the crowd, and he will not turn 33 until October.

Looking at the four major leagues in Europe, only Leipzig Red Bull ’s head coach is a little younger than Yang Yang, but in terms of results, Yang Yang is already the coach of the Champions League championship and can already keep pace with their group of top world-class coaches.

In terms of professional resume, Yang Yang is the first person in the world of football, an unprecedented legend, and now coaching has won the Champions League in his first season, and still leads the black horse Ajax, Yang Yang ’s historical position will only precipitate over time. It is getting higher and higher, and no one knows how high it will be in the future.

Because of this, there are not many people who can really joke with Yang Yang.

More talked about such as Zidane, Ancelotti, and Guardiola and Klopp, these are years of old acquaintances.

Yang Yang took the initiative to apologize for the sensation he just caused. He said that he had paid great attention to it, but he did not expect the media to spy on the time and foothold. He also felt very speechless.

"Normal phenomenon." Zidane smiled and said it didn't matter. "When they want to spy on your intelligence, you don't have any secrets at all, let alone a hotel. It is estimated that you live in a number of rooms tonight, they can Dig it out for you. "

Everyone heard a burst of laughter.

In the Premier League, Manchester City coach Guardiola and Liverpool coach Klopp are a thousand percent.

"I don't know how many times the British paparazzi are more terrifying than those outside. Anyway, I don't want to deal with them now." Guardiola chose to stay away from the media.

Klopp laughed heartily, "in front of them, I'm like a beauty who has undressed."

Everyone was funny for a while, but it was true.

...

After chatting in the hotel lobby for a while, Lyon coach Rudy Garcia and Juventus coach Surrey also arrived.

So, everyone agreed to have lunch in the hotel restaurant.

The head coaches sat together, and the topic naturally talked about football. In the past season, the most popular football topic in European football is Ajax.

Everyone is full of curiosity about Ajax, because this team is very young, but the football style is very unique, and the technical and tactical gold content is also very high. Whether it is platoon formation or on-site command, Yang Yang has shown superman First-class level.

"I do n’t hide from you. All the games of Ajax last season, as long as they do n’t conflict with our games, I watch every game. I even watch videos repeatedly for some games. I think this team has many places. It looks very familiar, but when integrated, it seems very strange. "

Guardiola is a football maniac, as long as he talks about football, he always has a lot to talk about.

"Frankie De Jong doesn't need to say, my biggest regret this summer is that I couldn't buy him. I called him, but he said he only wanted to go to Real Madrid, and van der Baker, I Know, he is also waiting for your call. "

After listening, everyone looked at Yang Yang. He brought out the youngest champion team in the history of the Champions League. What is more commendable is that all the young players in this team respect and love him very much, which is very terrible!

"In the beginning, I was wondering one thing, why is your physical strength always able to support for so long? Why can't you be able to maintain a high intensity of 90 minutes to force the pressure and not be tired?"

Guardiola asked a question that everyone in the room was very curious about, and was even asked by the media and fans.

"I thought about it for a long time, and watched a lot, and finally I found a very interesting place, that is, you are always rotating."

When Yang Yang heard this, he gave a thumbs-up towards Guardiola.

Needless to say, he has admitted Guardiola's discovery.

"Jovic, Neres, Sancho and Van der Baker, these four players are the main force of high-level pressure and oppression. I found that there are always two of them who are at the top to run and oppress, and there are always two people who are in Lazy rest. "

"As long as Jovic runs back, or runs to the side, Van der Beck will take the initiative to press up, rush to the forefront, and you will be the same when you are on the field, which makes their high position to press the pressure look very expensive, but In fact, in the game, you have a very sufficient rest time. "

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized.

Yang Yang noticed that Zidane and Ancelotti and others seemed to have discovered it, but they only showed a thoughtful look, while many people such as Solskjaer showed a sudden realization, which was obviously what they had not discovered before. of.

What surprised Yang Yang was that Emery and Tuchel were only thinking about it, and they seemed to have discovered it.

They are all top coaches, and basically it is difficult to have a secret.

Of course, even if other people know the secret of Ajax's high pressure and oppression?

Such a rotation mechanism is very simple to say, but in fact it is very difficult to use it on the court like an arm.

Even a little carelessness, on the contrary, it may make mistakes and be blown away by opponents.

"This set of rotation mechanism is actually not new. That's how Ajax played in Van Gaal." Yang Yang lifted his Bole out and did not forget to wipe the signboard for his old friend Van Gaal.

Ancelotti nodded: "Yes, Van Gaal played the same way. Cruywitt is equivalent to Jovic, Litmanen is equivalent to Van der Beck. Although the details have been slightly modified, there are really similarities Wonderful. "

That's what football skills and tactics are all about.

"Belsa played the same way, and later Diego and Jurgen ..." Yang Yang pointed to Simone and Klopp. "The two of them also gave me a lot of insights, of course, Guardiola and Benitet. , Ancelotti, Zidane, etc. "

"In the past many years, I have been studying and observing. Later, when coaching Ajax, I tried to slowly take out what I have learned over the years and instill it into the ball. Go to the team. "

Yang Yang's remarks triggered the thinking of everyone present.

Observation and learning are scarce qualities that all head coaches must pay attention to.

Ferguson has been able to cross the European football for decades, relying on extraordinary observation and learning ability.

And Yang Yang also showed amazing potential in this regard.
