Chapter 400: Maxima Meets Bole


Yang Huan noticed that among the many sticky notes on the wall, there were four sticky notes in a row under Menotti and Bilardo.

On these four notes, four letters were written crookedly.

It's not English, it should be Spanish, which is commonly used by Bielsa.

"What is this?"

Yang Huan asked curiously.

Bielsa pointed at the note, clicked on it one by one, and read it out one by one.

But Yang Huan didn't understand Spanish at all, and he didn't understand anything about it.

"This is permanent focus, which is the most important criterion for me to select players."

Concentration, this is indeed the type of player Bielsa prefers.

In Bielsa's words, your skills can be rough, your strength can be poor, and your condition can even be in poor condition, but you cannot not be focused enough in games and training, and concentration here is obviously not just about concentrating on the game, but also includes It means putting your whole heart and soul into the game.

As he spoke, he pointed to the second label.

"This is mobility.

Dutch football, from Michels' Total Attack to Van Gaal's Ajax, places great emphasis on the versatility of players.

They are best at four-three-three and three-four-three.

Mixed tactics are quite flexible and can be varied in many ways depending on the opponent.”

"The most critical point of Sacchi's football philosophy is to occupy favorable space on the pitch and maintain a flat formation with the front and rear lines no longer than 25 meters.

In this framework, forget about fixed positions and players move around the space, The ball, opponents and teammates are the four major elements to operate.”

Yang Huan was stunned when he heard this.

What an amazing tactical concept this was.

But if you think about it carefully, in the past few years, football tactics have been paying close attention to details, constantly deriving more and more positions, and constantly subdividing the roles and positions of players on the field.

But from another perspective, in recent years, football tactics have also become blurred.

For example, a pseudo-forward, an attacking midfielder, or a central midfielder, etc., isn’t that just a blurry position?

The position has been blurred to a certain extent, which means that the fixed position has been forgotten.

When a team uses tactics that are full of flexibility and can have different changes according to different opponents, and players forget about fixed positions and play around space, the ball, opponents and teammates, then this team Wouldn’t the team be invincible?

Bielsa didn't care about Yang Huan's shock, but pointed to the third note.

"This is rotation" After a pause, he continued: "Many people say that Uruguay's Oscar Washington Tavares is a loser.

He has changed teams one after another in his coaching career, but he has never been able to produce results.

A convincing result.”

When he said this, Bielsa rarely showed a hint of admiration and sneer.

Although it was light and fleeting, it was extremely difficult for someone as arrogant as him to show admiration.

As for the sneer, I'm afraid it's a sneer at the fact that people in the world often judge winning or losing based on performance.

Yang Huan does know that Tavares is the head coach of the Uruguay national team.

In the 2010 South Africa world, Uruguay reached the top four of the meritorious coach.

In the 2014 Brazil World Cup, it stopped in the top 16 knockout rounds. .

It was Colombia led by the famous Colombian coach Pekerman who defeated Uruguay.

But Tavares' most convincing record was in 2011, when he led his team to win the America's Cup.

It was in that America's Cup that Tavares proved his coaching ability.

"Tavares is a typical pragmatist, but he told the true meaning of football, the four basic elements of football, defense, offense, how to switch from defense to offense, how to switch from offense to defense, but the key is, how to make the team Smoothly rotate through all four stages.”

"As long as we can do that, it's a great team."

Yang Huan had to give a thumbs up and a like.

This sounds simple to say, very concise and comprehensive, right?

It is possible to explain the core truth of football, which is extremely complex and complicated, in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

If you say that this person is not good enough, Yang Huan would not believe it to death, because a person with no good level cannot say such things at all.

Things in this world are like this.

It's like we see those pianists who get music scores and don't even need to practice.

They just pick them up and play the music.

Is it easy?

Yes, it is indeed very easy.

But you have to understand that behind the ease, it is their hard work and hard practice that made them become a skilled and qualified pianist, and they were able to do it.

If you were anyone who had never learned piano, you could do it "The last one is also the most critical one.

Only after achieving the first three can you be qualified to pursue it."

"Improvise" Bielsa stared blankly at the note on the wall, as if lost in his own thoughts.

"If the aestheticism pursued by Menotti is impossible, then the routines and dogma pursued by Bilardo are possible.

Looking at today's football, which team is not practicing routines and which team is not practicing Practice tactical formations” "Even Barcelona, ​​which is known as the most creative, and the most talented players such as Zidane, Maradona, Messi, etc., they do not express their improvisation in dogmatic routines and tactical formations."

"Only when you have accomplished the possible, will you be qualified to pursue the impossible."

Yang Huan strongly agrees with this.

Modern football is becoming more and more rigorous and meticulous, and the role of the team is becoming more and more prominent.

It is impossible to win without the team, without the team as a whole.

Team cooperation often requires routines and tactical formations.

What do you do during training?

Isn’t it just about practicing routines and formations?

"I can casually name 150 defensive routines, and I can casually teach the team 150 offensive routines, but what I want to do is lead the ball.

The team, on the basis of proficiently mastering these 150 offenses and defenses, will pursue the 151 offense and defense routines."

"If my players are not human and can completely implement my requirements, then I will never lose."

The last words of the Argentinian madman were said with great confidence.

Yang Huan felt goosebumps all over his body.

Perhaps, in Bielsa's view, those 150 routines all belong to Bilardo, are possibilities, and are mechanical and dogmatic routines that can be calculated and mastered.

And the one hundred and fifty-one things he pursues are Menotti's aestheticism, which belongs to the impossible.

If the Argentinian lunatic is just talking, that is deception.

But the problem is, he doesn't just say it, he also thinks about it day and night, and he even puts it into practice, he does it, practices it, and tries it.

This is very, very difficult Yang Huan even thought that maybe only a lunatic like Bielsa, who loves football so much that it has reached a level of paranoia, has the courage to pursue such a goal and concept.

Because that may be an impossible goal to achieve in a lifetime.

Yang Huan was finally able to understand why Bielsa didn't like to get involved in the team's transfers or the team's daily management.

Because he doesn't have that much energy.

He put all his energy into thinking and exploring the 151st offensive and defensive methods.

Yang Huan suddenly found it quite funny.

Fortunately, he thought before that Bielsa's life was too boring and monotonous.

But now, he suddenly felt that Bielsa's life was neither boring nor monotonous.

On the contrary, he lived a more fulfilling and colorful life than anyone else.

Because he clearly knows what he pursues and the direction in which he wants to work hard.

That's enough "Old Bay" Yang Huan suddenly reached out his hand, patted Bielsa on the shoulder like a brother, and couldn't help but smile.

Bielsa seemed to be suddenly awakened, and looked at Master Huan in surprise and a bit at a loss.

"They all say that among the many football bosses, I am considered a lunatic, and you, as a head coach, are also an out-and-out lunatic."

Bielsa stared blankly at Yang Huan with his eyes that looked a little dull at first glance but glowed with wisdom upon closer inspection.

He might be wondering why Master Huan said that.

"We two, although we are in different positions, we are both crazy."

At this point, Yang Huan burst into laughter.

"Then let's build a crazy team, enter the Premier League, enter the Champions League, and knock the whole European football world upside down.

Let everyone in the world see it.

Witness the storm we two madmen created together.”

When he said this, Yang Huan looked at the notes on the wall with a confident look.

Those seemed not to be sticky notes but Southampton’s future.

He decided secretly in his mind.

From now on, Bielsa will give people to people, money to people and whatever they want.

Since Argentinians dare to gamble with their lives, why should Yang Huan be afraid to accompany him in this gamble?

Bielsa seemed to be greatly encouraged after hearing Master Huan's statement.

It was only at this moment that he truly felt the impassioned feeling of a thousand-mile horse meeting Bole.

At that moment, the two sat down directly in the head coach's office and had a very in-depth and candid communication about some of Southampton's ideas and assumptions, as well as some of the team's existing problems.

It was only then that Yang Huan was surprised by Bielsa's progress with the times.

Yaya Gope, although this guy is a stubborn old man, his thoughts and ideas are quite trendy, not inferior to those of today's young people.

Also during the conversation, Bielsa surprised Yang Huan again.

Today's head coaches like to study videos and edit them to explain tactics to players and analyze opponents.

There is also the matter of reading game reports to the players and summarizing the detailed technical files of the opponents in the next game.

These measures are now quite common.

Do you know when Bielsa started using this training method?

1997 This guy was applying for Sarsfield's head coaching job, and he took 51 tapes with him to apply.

After the successful application, one condition was put forward, which was to have a computer room.

He has to do his own video editing and make game reports.

At that time, this was simply unheard of and unseen.

Who would have done what Bielsa did at that time?

But these are now commonplace.

Almost every coach does this and it is commonplace.

Even today's top league professional teams basically have a technical analysis team.

It can be seen that this guy is not only keeping up with the times, he is simply a trendy man who is at the forefront of the times.

Yang Huan appreciates him more and more now.

Yang Huan also paid attention to the various requests and ideas put forward by Bielsa.

Being able to make a decision on the spot, he agreed on the spot.

As for some matters that still need to be negotiated with other people, Yang Huan also said that he would do his best to provide support.

Although Bielsa didn't say it on the surface, he knew it in his heart.

These are the favors Yang Huan gave him, and other teams would definitely not agree to them.

Because this means Southampton needs to invest more money every year.

Therefore, he was more or less moved.

When Chollima met Bole, he didn't say anything, just one sentence, just to die:
