After the start of the second day of training, every international has felt the changes that coach Dillon said last night.

The training content is completely different from the previous national team.

The ball training part has been greatly increased.

At the same time, the importance of confrontation was particularly emphasized in the training.

for example:

In the past, everyone practiced passing and catching the ball, and most of them passed to each other. It's that simple.

Or add some other requirements slightly and divide into two teams. Players of team A pass the football to players of team B, and then start to move. Players of team B then pass the football to players of team A who run to the position. Players of team A will The football scored a goal.

The whole process is to run to catch the ball, and then shoot. There is no confrontation at all, passing, receiving, and shooting are all done by one person.

Now Dillon asked to join the confrontation.

From the moment when a player of team A passes the football to a player of team B, two players of team C must go up to defend the players of team A and team B respectively.

In this way, when a player of team B receives the ball, they will be personally interfered by a player of team C. He must withstand such interference to accurately pass the football to the position of the A team player.

Similarly, team A players have to catch the ball and shoot again under defensive interference.

Of course, at the beginning, the C team players will not be arranged to defend with real swords and guns. They just run against them and use their bodies to interfere and confront to a certain degree to create a sense of actual combat.

Wait until the players adapt to this training method, and then gradually increase the weight.

The same is true for shooting training. Arrange for the defensive player to hold the mat as a buffer, and constantly hit the shooting player—in the past, it was only used for targeted special training, but now it has become a daily training method.

In addition, Dillon also reduced the diameter of the "game" of lap grabbing and increased the number of people. Artificially create a dense defensive situation in a limited space, allowing players to practice passing and receiving in a smaller space and more defensive situations.

Let the ring grab from the previous warm-up game into a real combat training with real swords and guns.

These changes caused the intensity of training to rise sharply. In order to avoid injury during training, Dillon's coaching staff also increased the intensity of warm-up.

In addition, this high-intensity training method also puts forward higher requirements on the players' physical fitness.

So physical training became the top priority.

Dillon is not alone in coaching the international team this time. He brought his full set of coaching staff at Golden Arrow to the national team-the annual salary of 10 million euros given to Dillon by the Football Association is not for him alone, but includes the salary of all the entire coaching team of Dillon.

From assistant coaches to physical coaches to goalkeeper coaches, they are all veterans who have worked with Jorge Dillon for many years.

There is no Chinese coaching team leader. All Chinese coaches are coaches who are only responsible for daily training and do not participate in team decision-making. To put it bluntly, "tool man".

The task of communicating with the players was handed over to the team leader Hong Renjie. In a sense, Hong Renjie is the head of the team's Chinese coaching staff, but he is not responsible for the team's training work, nor does he determine the team's technical and tactical details.

In fact, from the very beginning, the Football Association hoped to be able to set up a Chinese coaching team leader like Marcel Wilson before, to supervise the Chinese coach, and at the same time serve as the Chinese assistant coach of Dillon.

On the one hand, their idea is to help Dillon coach the team better, and on the other hand, they also hope that Dillon can bring local coaches in China. After Dong Jianhai, the Football Association also knows that China’s domestic coaches are indeed true to Europe. There is a huge gap between high-level coaches.

If you can arrange the Chinese coaches that the Football Association is optimistic about, work with Dillon and learn Dillon's advanced experience and skills.

So when the contract between Dillon and the Football Association expires, the growing Chinese coach may be able to take over.

This is a bit like the way we traded the market for technology in the early days of reform and opening up.

But Jorge Dillon refused.

He said that his rejection of this proposal was not because he wanted to hide himself, because he was afraid that the Chinese coach would learn his skills. He has just taken over this team and does not want to set up another Chinese assistant coach to decentralize powers, artificially increase the level and create communication barriers.

Originally, if he had anything to communicate with the players and the Chinese coach, he could just talk to them directly. If they don’t understand, add an interpreter to Jintao.

Now it's equivalent to reporting through the Chinese assistant coach, not to mention the inefficiency of turning a turn, it is also prone to miscommunication, and even internal opinions are not unified.

According to the internal analysis of the Football Association, Dillon may feel that this Chinese assistant coach is here to monitor him, and is a "monitoring army" in a sense. That's why I refused.

However, the Football Association finally agreed to all the conditions of Dillon, naturally including the absence of a Chinese assistant coach.

As for how his foreign teacher team cooperated and communicated with the Chinese coach, it was handed over to the translator Yu Jintao and the team leader Hong Renjie.

It can be said that after the Asian Cup, all the requirements of Jorge Dillon from the Football Association have been met.

They are not blindly "respecting foreigners", but the Asian Cup made them realize that the situation that Dillon gave them was correct, and everyone said everything about the Asian Cup.

It's a pity that I didn't listen to it...

So although Dillon asked for a higher price, the Football Association agreed.

After all, on the one hand, he has real abilities, and on the other hand, he can indeed give his solutions based on the current situation of Chinese football.

The latter is the most important. There are many coaches who have the ability and high ability, but they are not suitable for Chinese football.

Dillon has coached in the Super League, and he knows Chinese football...No, from his perspective, he can be said to be "very understanding".

Such a head coach, even if it is expensive, is worth it.

Besides, when Dillon and Golden Arrow terminated the contract, Golden Arrow Club did not ask for any liquidated damages, which is equivalent to saving a lot of money for the Football Association—the liquidated damages were paid by Dillon in name, but in fact they must be paid by the Football Association. .

Because of this, the Football Association is able to offer an annual salary of 10 million euros. If liquidated damages are to be paid, there is definitely no way to meet the salary requirements of the Dillon team.

Because the training intensity is too high, after the training every day, the physiotherapy room has become the most lively and busy place.

Almost all the international players line up to come to the physiotherapy room for relaxing massages.

In fact, there are already three physical therapists in the current national team, but they are still too busy.

As a last resort, the national team applied for the transfer of Master Feng from the track and field team the next day to give the nationals a massage.

Even so, the non-stop work of the four physical therapists has just been able to meet the needs of the international players.

This shows how much the training volume of the Chinese team has been during this period.

There were even cases where a player fell asleep directly on the massage table while pressing the button.

When I was woken up, I thought it was dawn and I was going to train...

Muttering in his mouth: "This sleep was really heavy, and it was really a day when I closed my eyes and opened my eyes..."

It made everyone around him laugh, and then found out that he was making a joke.

Of course, not everyone struggles the same in training.

Some people behave slightly better, while others are in pain.

The players who have studied abroad in Europe have performed the best and are relatively adaptable.

Especially Hu Lai who went out first.

And everyone can appreciate the gap in their abilities through their performance in training.

Why can Hu Lai perform so well in Europe?

Obviously he has fully adapted to everything in European football, whether it is the intensity of the confrontation or the rhythm of the game, reflected in the training of the national team, he is the easiest one, and it is easy to do.

Some people in the national team have also watched the documentary about Hu Lai who just joined Leeds City. In the documentary, Hu Lai just went to Leeds City in the first few days, every day after training, he could fall asleep while receiving a massage from his agent.

At first, everyone thought it was an exaggeration-no matter how intense the training of this European team is, how big can it be?

It should be for the shooting effect of the documentary, right?

Now they think... well, it is so big!

Fuck, how did Hu Lai's small body survived in the first place!

Then think again:

No wonder they can succeed in Europe! No wonder they are the Premier League Golden Boots and the World Cup Golden Boots! Adapting to the training intensity of the Premier League so quickly, it is not an ordinary genius!

Team leader Hong Renjie and head coach Yu Jintao who met Dillon in the corridor.

The latter greeted him: "Leader Hong came back after checking the room?"

Hong Renjie nodded.

"How is it?" Yu Jintao asked again.

"All fell asleep, and there was no movement in all the rooms."

Yu Jintao raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "It's only half past ten... It seems that they are really tired. This shows that everyone is not lazy in training."

"Yeah, all tired and paralyzed."

Yu Jintao laughed suddenly: "I remembered something... If our training intensity was so great more than 30 years ago, wouldn't the players have the energy to get over the wall and go out for clubs? It's the negative news of Chinese football. Can be a lot less..."

In the past, Chinese football always circulated all kinds of legends about players jumping over the wall and going clubbing, drinking, and looking for women during closed training sessions. At that time, Chinese football was growing brutally. Chinese players moved from a professional system to a career. They only changed their identities, but they weren't professional at all.

Inadequate training, improper attitude towards the game, irregular life and rest, chaotic private life, smoking, drinking, fighting and picking up girls, involving black and pornography...probably half of the negative news in the Chinese sports world is contributed by professional football players.

Yu Jintao was not a member of the football circle before, he was just an ordinary fan, and he had heard about various negative rumors in Chinese football.

Hong Renjie has always been an insider, knowing more about the inside story than Yu Jintao. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You want to be beautiful, old Yu. Let me tell you, if any head coach dared to give to the team at that time With this amount of training, he will have to be driven away by the players in less than a week, can you believe it?"

Yu Jintao nodded, he really believed this.

Chinese football at that time, although the performance of the national team was better compared with the later dark ages-the ones that shouldn't be won can't be won, but the ones that should be won can be won. Unlike those who shouldn’t have won and won’t be able to win, those who should have won fluke—but that was just a foundation laid by professional football in the previous decades, more like a prodigal who squandered his ancestor’s family business.

After the squandering, Chinese football collapsed and ushered in a decade-long dark age.

It was not until 2015 that Chinese football was determined to make a top-down reform. After more than ten years of hard work, it was only after more than ten years of hard work that it achieved the results and situation it is today.

"So... now these players are indeed quite professional..." Before and after comparison, the present is not what it used to be, which made Yu Jintao express such emotion.

"Well, the performance of the players is impeccable. But I have a problem..." Hong Renjie frowned and said, "I always think Dillon is a little anxious this time. As soon as the players arrived at the hotel, he called to talk one by one. Then I started a tactical meeting right after dinner... I was surprised by the positive work. Now that the amount of training comes to this level, there is no gradual meaning at all, so he is not afraid of...injury?"

Yu Jintao smiled and said: "That's why we are equipped with a professional and huge medical team? In addition to the four physical therapists, the entire team medical team and physical fitness coach are paying close attention to the players' physical conditions and adjusting them every day according to their physical conditions. Training plan. And, Team Leader Hong, what do you think will be the training level of most of these players when they finish the week and a half of the national team training and competition and return to their respective Super League clubs?"

Hong Renjie was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Yu Jintao's words meant.

Obviously, the training level of most Super League teams cannot be compared with that of the current national team. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

In his opinion, Dillon's national team training is entirely European level.

And the training of the Super League team...that is, the Super League level.

Why is Dillon so anxious?

Because he knows that he is only the head coach of the national team and cannot control the Super League, so once these internationals return to their respective clubs, they will return to the club's low-level training.

Not to mention the slow improvement, thank God for not regressing.

Dillon is trying to take advantage of the opportunities for the international players to train and compete in the national team to give them supplementary lessons...

Thinking of this, Hong Renjie sighed: "Chinese football... a long way to go!"

Yu Jintao patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be too pessimistic, Team Leader Hong. Dillon once said to me that the change of a country's football level does not happen overnight, but a long-term achievement of dripping through the rocks. Wait until we have more players to go. Europeans play abroad abroad; wait for them to spread the advanced European football concepts to the national team, the Olympic team, and spread to domestic clubs; wait for these advanced football concepts to become a habit; wait for some of them to become coaches... A little bit happened. In the future, everything will be fine. Just like this training camp, you see those players who have gone to Europe to train for most of the season, don't they perform much better than domestic players?"

Hong Renjie nodded slowly.

He knew that Yu Jintao was right.

It's this drop of water that pierces the stone...Who knows that when the Chinese team benefits from this, I am still not the leader of this team.

He is still selfish and always hopes to have his own figure in every stage of the history of Chinese football.

The shadow of the tree, the name of the person.

He Hong Renjie... is someone who wants to write his name into the history of Chinese football.
