Chapter 203
"Coach assistant?" Vardy was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, saying with surprise, "Coach's assistant? So awesome! I thought that only those players who are about to retire will serve as coach assistants. You are still so young! Oh my God! It turns out that we are not only teammates, you are also my coach!"
“…”
Burley was a little bit too busy with his brain, so he simply took Valdy over to meet Livermore.
Livermore was not very enthusiastic. He focused more on his training than meeting new teammates. But in Burley's opinion, something magical happened. When Livermore and Valdy got together, they started chatting for no reason.
"Are you here today?"
"Yes, I arrived in London yesterday."
"Do you live outside now? Someone should find a place to stay for you, right?"
"Yes, I'm in the dormitory over there."
"It's very nice, I've stayed there for a while, I think you can apply to live with others, and it will be more lively for two people."
"You are right! I can apply to live in a dormitory alone, although it is a two-person room. However, compared to living alone, I am willing to get twice the rent."
“…”
Burley listened patiently for a long time and felt that the worldview was about to collapse, and he seemed to be in the same dimension as them.
The conversation between these two people is inexplicable!
———
Vardy's arrival added a lively atmosphere to the training ground, followed by Concheski and Wes Morgan, followed by Darren Bent, Alan Hutton and others.
After each player comes to report, he will enter the training ground to get familiar with the environment.
But what puzzled them was that the club staff said that head coach Zhang Yang was in the club, but no one saw him in a few days.
The first coach they met was Dennis Wise.
Three days before the start of training, Dennis Wise came to the club. Wise made up his mind to work as a coach, so he did not renew the player contract with the club, but signed an assistant coach contract with an annual salary of 150,000 pounds. It is worth mentioning that he still used Zhang Yang's contract as the benchmark and only signed a two-year contract with the club.
This means that Wise is standing in Zhang Yang's camp, and he is Zhang Yang's assistant coach.
Those who participated in the signing of Wise's new contract couldn't help but admire Wise's decision. It was easy to be accepted to "return to" the world's famous coaches with his ability, but he chose to join a coaching team of young people in his early twenties.
That takes firmness and courage.
Wise came to the club and met the new players. After a little acquaintance, he went to find Zhang Yang.
Pushing open the door of the head coach's office, Wise saw Zhang Yang stuck on the table, holding his hair with both hands, looking extremely distressed, "What's wrong? Zhang?"
Zhang Yang raised his head.
His image is really not very good. He worked for several days and had no time to change his clothes. His hair was just clean and untreated. He looked like he had just woken up.
"Nothing, I'm thinking about tactical issues recently."
"I came to you for this." Wise looked up and down at Zhang Yang, and pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, "But before that, I think you should go take a shower and change your clothes."
Zhang Yang realized the problem and smiled embarrassedly, "Then wait."
After about twenty minutes, Zhang Yang took a comfortable shower and changed into clean clothes.
The image is back!
This is how men are. They are so sloppy before taking a shower. They immediately turn into Andy Lau after taking a shower.
Zhang Yang thought about meeting other people, and even blew his hair a little. After walking out of the bathroom, he remembered to make a drink for Wise. He chatted with some home-cooked words and cared about Wise's vacation life.
"Just accompany your family." Wise said and asked, "Where are you? I heard you are on vacation."
"yes."
"Is there no yan-encounter? Your image is pretty good. If I were a girl, I would definitely fall in love with you." Wise teased.
Zhang Yang vomited and handed over the coffee, "Don't be disgusting."
"Okay, let's talk about the main business, Zhang, tactical training is the key to the next preparation, and I think we should study the training methods together." Wise said, "I have already told Alders and Frederick that they will arrive at noon. Let's study how to improve the tactics together. Otherwise, with our current simple playing style and lineup strength, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the Premier League."
This is also the job of the coaching staff.
The coaching staff members not only need to assist the head coach in completing training, but also assist the head coach in completing tactical formulation.
Wise felt that the work in tactical formulation would probably be Alders and Frederick cooperated with him to complete it. He already had some ideas, but he didn't expect Zhang Yang to say this, "No need, I've already figured out how to conduct tactical training."
"Think about it?"
Zhang Yang pointed to the tactical board behind the table, "Did you not notice it here? That's the tactic we want to train."
"ah?"
Wise looked at the dense lines on the tactical board and was completely unable to associate it with tactical formulation.
"Didn't it be drawn casually?"
Wise walked over and looked carefully for a long time. The white lines on it were too dense, and there would be no difference between them and random markings. If you look closely, it seemed to be a bit regular, but what could this mean?
"When Alders and the others come, I will explain to you the team's new style of play!"
"That will be the focus of our preparations!"
———
afternoon.
Frederick, Alders and Wise gathered in the communal coach's office.
This public office has a larger area and can be placed in it with a two-meter-long tactical board, which is suitable for explaining tactics.
Zhang Yang hasn't come yet.
The three of them were talking about the holiday, and then immediately turned to the 'new tactics'.
"Zhang said, he has already thought of a new way of playing."
Wise said.
The three of them came for this purpose, but Frederick's lips curled up and explained that he was not interested in the so-called new style of play. "Just him? What new style of play can he come up with? When I came, I heard Robone say that he has been stuck in the office for the past half month. Is it a new style of play that comes out of home?"
Wise and Alders looked at each other.
Frederick's stinky mouth has not changed yet.
"You heard from him, are there any specific news?" Alders asked.
"I just saw the tactical boards in his office, so dense that I couldn't understand them at all. I probably could only wait for him to analyze them."
Wise shook his head.
"It's no big deal for me to see. He probably wanted to imitate which team plays well... Yes, it must be like that. I remember half a year ago, he didn't understand tactics at all."
This is a fact.
In January after Christmas, Zhang Yang did not understand tactics at all and had to go to Wise in the hospital to learn from him.
"It's okay, he just wants to say it. When the problem is found and overturned, we still have time to re-research." Frederick kept expressing his opinions.
Neither Wise nor Alders denied Frederick's statement because they did not believe that Zhang Yang could come up with a so-called "new way of playing".
A brand new routine, but a very complicated thing.
Not to mention a rookie coach, even an experienced old coach can hardly rely on himself to study a brand new style of play. Most head coaches' approach is that only a slight change under the original tactical system will make the team adapt and there will be no major problems.
After waiting for half an hour, Zhang Yang was late. He greeted the three of them and walked towards the tactical board, wiped all the things on it and said, "Then let's start!"
The three of them remained indifferent.
Zhang Yang didn't care about their reactions, so he simply drew a formation diagram on the tactical board and then drew a few small dots representing the players.
"This is our formation."
"I want to talk about the key points of the new tactics. We will still use defensive counterattacks, long passes and long shots as the main methods of scoring. Based on these, players in each position have a clear division of labor in the entire system."
"Then I'll start from the backcourt..."
