The first day of training is mainly to check the players' physical indicators, and then the physical reserves will be carried out according to the players' physical conditions to lay a good foundation for the new season.

When the training was about to end, Situ Yunbing called De Gea in front of him.

De Gea looks very calm, the 18-year-old goalkeeper did not have difficulties in integrating into Monaco, mainly because there are many young Monaco players and the dressing room is not complicated.

Situ Yunbing asked him calmly, "How do you feel?"

There is an interpreter next to him to help him translate.

De Gea smiled, like a new student, satisfied with the new environment.

"Very good, everyone here is very friendly, I haven't encountered difficulties for the time being."

Situ Yunbing shook his head after listening to the translation.

His face became serious, and he said solemnly: "I'm sorry to break your good mood and fantasy. Everyone here looks very friendly, including the fans who will cheer for us outside, but I think you are too relaxed. , You have not fully realized what is coming.

You will be Monaco's number one goalkeeper. If you do not perform well in the first game, whether it is the media or the fans, you will still use your youth as a reason to watch your next performance. After all, you are indeed the best young generation in Spain. Goalkeeper.

But if you do not perform well in the second game, people will be more cautious about your future in Monaco. At best, they will say that you are integrated into the team and it takes time to adapt to French football.

But if you still can’t give a convincing performance for the third consecutive game, sorry, the media will immediately launch a storm of attacks on you. Of course, these attacks will be directed at me, accusing me of putting you under pressure. In such a big position, why not train you step by step?

Those in the team who you think are friendly will also come to me in private, hoping that I will re-enable Rufael. Everyone is not targeting you, but just don’t want the team’s efforts to be ruined by you. What can I do? I am the coach. I gave you a chance, but you did not grasp it. How can I give you a chance?

The chances of goalkeepers are often much less than that of players in other positions, and the probability of appearance is also very low!

If you can, you can sit firmly in this position, unshakable, you can't do it once, do you want to do it again? Sorry, others won't give it to you.

If there is no major turmoil in Monaco, we will have a decisive battle in the final stage of the second half of the season, but De Gea, your decisive battle, has now entered the countdown stage!

The French Super Cup, the first three rounds of the league, this is your decisive battle, you have a firm goalkeeper position, you are Monaco's No. 1 goalkeeper, you can not stand firmly, your opportunity will disappear in a short time.

Can you understand? "

De Gea put away a smile after listening to the detailed transcript. It took a while before he nodded seriously.

Probably to digest the content of Situ Yunbing's speech.

Situ Yunbing went on to say to him: "What you need to improve in the short term is to save long shots. This is your current shortcoming."

In fact, the role of goalkeeper is often famous as a teenager, like Buffon, Casillas in the past, Neuer now, Donnarumma in the future, Courtois, Ter Stegen, the lion king, Including De Gea, they all became famous when they were young, and they took the main position at a young age and became one of the outstanding goalkeepers who dare not say the top rankings in Europe, but they are also one of the excellent goalkeepers who have come over.

Because the real good goalkeeper doesn't seem to be trained, and the innate keenness and pre-judgment of position selection are characteristics that are quickly revealed in talent.

But it does not mean impeccable. Players in any position need experience and have their own shortcomings.

De Gea's shortcomings are obvious, that is, the lack of ability to save long shots.

This point has always been criticized by the media even after he transferred to Manchester United in the original history.

So Situ Yunbing is now strengthening De Gea's ability to save from long shots, and the sooner he can make up for his shortcomings, the better.

Perhaps now De Gea doesn't think or realize that he has such a shortcoming, and the coach has no way to judge, because the saves in training and the situations encountered in real games are very different!

There are too many uncontrollable factors and complicated accidental factors in the game.

Since Situ Yunbing personally requested it, De Gea certainly had no objection.

Situ Yunbing called Suarez, Falcao, Nimani, Perez, Matic, and Gareth Bale, and then said to them: "I need you to strengthen long-range training, who wants extra Training?"

Gareth Bale was the first to raise his hand to express his willingness to practice more!

Other players also expressed their willingness.

Situ Yunbing nodded and said, "Okay, don't leave after the training is over. Come with me."

Before the end of the training, Situ Yunbing did not speak, but simply notified everyone that the training was over.

Then he took Gareth Bale and the others towards the youth team.

Although Morro, Benatia, Virtonghen, Mendy and other players were not called by name, they heard that the coach personally arranged additional training and they all participated actively.

Monaco had a reserve team last season, but this season is completely gone.

Originally, if the number of reserve teams is enough, they will sign up for the reserve league. If there are not enough numbers, they will not sign up. In the past, the Monaco first team lineup was crowded. With a lineup of more than 30 people, half or more of them would definitely not be able to make the list. Those players who can't make the big squad go to the reserve league to stay in shape.

Monaco’s reserve team is insufficient this season, so players who can’t make the list in the first team can play in the youth league as over-age players. Although the quality is not as good as the reserve team, at least it is worse than no games to play.

The reserve team was used by the youth team. Situ Yunbing brought a large number of players here and shocked the youth team players and coaches. He didn't know what the first team was going to do.

Situ Yunbing expropriated the field originally belonged to the reserve team, and then asked De Gea to guard the goal.

Other players practicing long shots are fanned out in various directions and positions in the left, center, and right of the penalty area about 25 yards from the goal. At a time, six players stand in their respective positions and prepare for the run-up and long-range shots. Some are longer.

Situ Yunbing told them that during the free throw practice, they discussed the shooting order and didn't tell De Gea, and then they only had to wait for De Gea to complete the save and prepare for the next round of long-range training immediately.

For De Gea, there are so many players in front of him who want to shoot, but he doesn't know who will shoot. This will also exercise his reflexes, and different players have different shooting styles, plus different The flying soccer ball further increased the difficulty of his save.

When the players started to train normally, Situ Yunbing left. Since it was an extra training, it was entirely dependent on the players' self-consciousness and there was no need to supervise them. In the final analysis, this was for their benefit, not Situ Yunbing's personal gain.

Before leaving, Situ Yunbing chatted with the head coach of the youth team and asked him to start sprinkling water on the restricted area of ​​this field tomorrow, so that the small restricted area in front of the goal will become slippery within 20 yards of the goal. Get up, in this case, if someone hits a low flat ball from a long shot, the football will change speed after rubbing on the wet turf, further increasing the difficulty of the goalkeeper's save!

When Situ Yunbing left, the scene behind him was quite spectacular, just like De Gea was besieged by Monaco generals. In less than 20 seconds, there would be a shot, or a vigorous bang, or a clever shot. De Gea was too busy to resist!

......

In the next few days, Situ Yunbing kept talking to new supporters. He worked in the same way as before. He would review the players’ game videos from the past season and then summarize the players’ strengths or weaknesses in the game. , And then came to the player with a thick pile of printed documents, and while talking, he superimposed his notes through screenshots of the game video to remind the players where they should improve in the future.

Suarez, who had some wildness in his bones, was shocked by Situ Yunbing's diligent and pragmatic work attitude!

You know this is a lot of work, but Situ Yunbing can find the mistakes frequently made by the players in the game like a needle in a haystack, and use screenshots of the game to cite them, so that the players have no luck.

If some players came to Monaco because they valued Monaco's ability to play in the Champions League in the new season, Situ Yunbing also promised enough playing time to make them come here, then after a short time together, they were completely taken by Situ Yunbing. Impressed by his professionalism!

Although it seemed that Situ Yunbing used a dumb method, it was enough to show his spiritual charm.

The players were convinced by him, and they all understood that Monaco's success and Situ Yunbing's success were not dictated by luck.

Monaco's preparations for the new season are proceeding in an orderly manner, and the players are all gearing up to wait for the arrival of the new season.

At the end of July, Monaco played three friendly matches. The result is not important. The three games have three different lineups. All first team players have playing time. Suarez and Falcao are the best performers, and their technical ability is fundamental. Where is it?

The French media was only surprised to find that in the three warm-up matches, Morrow played at left back during the time he played!

The hapless Gareth Bale, who was bought from England, was in front of Moreau.

Gareth Bale’s performance was a little flat. As a left winger, he took off most of his defensive tasks and devoted more energy to the wing attack. He was brave and lacking in detail, and he was always the only one who was abrupt from the wing. He left the team and his teammates couldn't figure out what he was going to do. After he broke through, he should pass or not, and when he wanted to pass, no one would answer.

There are not only factors of his personal experience and ability, but also problems of cooperation and tacit understanding.

Situ Yunbing is not in a hurry. Monaco has undergone a major reshuffle this summer. Now it needs to hurry up and improve. If the overall strength changes, it is definitely not as strong as when it won the championship last season, because the team needs to re-run and play. The impact of dual changes in personnel and personnel cannot be ignored.
