Chapter 141: New requirements of the new coach

It is not the first time that all the players of the Chinese national team have met Jorge Dillon.
Even setting aside Dillon’s impressive achievements in Europe, everyone played against Dillon’s Golden Arrow when they played in the Super League. Not to mention that there are still Golden Arrow players in this national team, and they are more familiar with Dillon.
But apart from the Golden Arrow players, the other internationals have very little knowledge of Dillon, and they are limited to knowing that this is a very famous and capable head coach.
After Dillon became the head coach of this team, the internationals are also guessing how Dillon will lead this team.
For example, what tactics will he choose, what are his criteria for selecting and employing people, what is his temperament, what his hobbies are... and so on.
These are related to their future and destiny in the national team.
After all, "the emperor and the courtier in one dynasty", everyone knows the truth. Some players were not treated well by the previous head coach, and they might not even be able to play as a substitute. As a result, a head coach changed from the bench to the main force.
Is the ability suddenly improved?
Of course not, it can only be because the player's abilities are in line with the requirements of the new coach.
Or just because of his temperament and his appetite for the new head coach.
Everyone is a professional player, and I haven't seen anything like this. I take it for granted when I see it, and even take it for granted.
So if you can better suit Dillon's appetite, will you be better mixed in the national team?
Especially those international players who are getting older.
During this time, they have been looking for players at Golden Arrow to find out who the new coach is.
Then combined the news they inquired and came to a conclusion-Dillon liked Chen Xingyi very much.
When seeing this conclusion, someone wanted to lift the table-what kind of result is this!
However, some people follow this result to further speculate that maybe Dillon doesn't just like Chen Xingyi, but the group of young people who like Chen Xingyi...
This makes the elderly internationals feel more crisis.
They can almost imagine that the next brutal exchange inside the national team will begin.
The previous credit performance in the national team can not be used as the capital for them to stay.
With this uneasy mood, everyone was notified during dinner: After dinner, go directly to the hotel meeting room and the new head coach Jorge Dillon will hold a meeting for everyone.
This has exacerbated everyone's worries-is it going to be ready to kill chickens and monkeys?
Then who would be the chicken that was killed?
Thinking about it this way, some people think that Yao Huasheng was not selected for this national team because of his injury. Maybe it was a good thing...
Now they are watching the video highlights of the Chinese team's Asian Cup match on the projector.
This is the "dessert" specially prepared for them by the new coach Jorge Dillon.
"After watching this ten-minute video, what do you think?"
After the video was played, Dillon's voice sounded, followed by a translation by Yu Jintao.
What do you think?
I have a lot of thoughts, but I don’t know if I should say...
Everyone looked at each other, but no one said anything.
Dillon didn't seem to care whether the players answered or not, and he began to talk endlessly. Every time I said a paragraph, I would stop and take a break, which meant that Jin Tao had finished translating for him, and then continued.
"Through the game video highlights, combined with your experience in the Asian Cup, you should easily come to such a result. That is-you found that the opponents you met in the Asian Cup seem to be stronger. But again It will make you suspicious. Because you have basically played against Asian opponents, you should know each other's level very well, how can it suddenly improve in a short time? Besides, which is more the Asian Cup or the top twelve. It's hard to fight, you should also be very clear...
"So there is another answer to this question, and that is that you have become weaker. After all, you can still draw against Russia and Brazil in the World Cup. Now it is so hard to fight the Philippines and Iraq. Is it really that you have become weaker? But if so, how can you explain that you beat the Japanese team beautifully?"
The Chinese team players recovered from the initial stunnedness, put aside all the random thoughts, and began to immerse themselves in the questions raised by the head coach.
Are we stronger or weaker?
After the World Cup, so many teammates have gone abroad to study abroad, and the media are saying that this will be the strongest Chinese team in history.
But why did the Asian Cup stumble? Lost to Iraq in the first game.
It's not going well in the Philippines, even Syria can lose the ball...
After Dillon gave the players some time to think, he continued:
"In fact, it's not that you have become weaker, or your opponents have become stronger. It's very simple. The opponents' attitude towards us has changed, and our position in Asian football has also changed. From now on, you must get used to looking at the mentality of a strong team. Play, look at yourself. Simply put, whether you admit it or not, in the eyes of others, you are a strong team.
"That's why you encountered so many presses and bus-style defenses in the game. These are topics that you have not studied before, so when you meet in the game, you will inevitably be a little at a loss. ..."
In order to let the national team players understand the truth, Dillon also analyzed for them why they did not encounter such a situation when they played in the top twelve matches.
To put it simply, they used to be influential, or third-rate teams, most opponents are actually not very afraid of the Chinese team. When facing the Chinese team, he did not have the mentality of facing a strong team.
So they will not shrink the defense.
In fact, Dillon has talked to Yu Jintao in private, but now it is changed to talk to the internationals, and the talk is even more detailed than for Jin Tao.
Some of the content even resembled the words of a car, turning over and over.
It was broken, crushed, and told the internationals in detail, as if they were afraid they would not understand it.
From the positioning of the Chinese national team in Asian football, to why Shi Wuyin adopts the trident composed of Hu Lai, Luo Kai and Chen Xingyi as the core offensive tactics. The advantages and disadvantages of this tactic and why it can’t adapt to today’s The Chinese team, where will the Chinese team go next...
And not only speaking with the mouth, he also combined the edited game video to explain, let the players understand in a more intuitive way.
If an outsider sees this scene, it will definitely feel ironic-the top group of Chinese football fans, like ordinary fans, need to be used in such a complicated way to "pop science".
Is this the highest level of football in our country?
Can Chinese football be better?
Just disband it!
But this is the status quo of Chinese football.
Some things seem to be understood by the fans, and they are sensible, but it is not so easy for the players to embody these principles in the game.
Just say the simplest one:
After the pass, continue to run and pull away to meet teammates.
This can be regarded as common sense among the fans. Now these days, who still stands still and plays?
But in a specific game, it must be right to run forward after passing the ball?
Obviously not.
Sometimes running forward will lead the team’s offense to a dead end~EbookFREE.me~ to open up the space.
Just these four words, it is not easy to be specific and correct in the game.
Sometimes you need to run forward after passing the ball, sometimes you need to withdraw after passing the ball, and sometimes you need to pull the ball horizontally, and sometimes it is the right choice to keep the ball in place after passing the ball.
When should you move and pull, this is where your ability is tested.
And this kind of pulling and running is often not a matter of one person, it is necessary for the team as a whole to work together in a certain area.
If, as a coach, you only tell the players to run actively after passing the ball to open up the space without telling them how to open, and what to do in different situations, then the players are still at a loss.
So in the game, you can still see that some players are not active enough in the game, not opening the gap in time, causing teammates not to have a safe route to the ball, and so on.

"...In order to avoid such problems in the future, the next focus of our training is how to organize attacks in the face of pressing and how to break the dense defense. You must change your mentality and habits during training. ...This kind of training will not be easy, and my requirements for you will not be low, but you have to know that your performance in the game will not disappoint your hard work in training!"
Jorge Dillon ended his tactical meeting.
The players walked back to their rooms one after another, and everyone looked very worried.
They know that their national team career will undergo drastic changes.
The head coach has made his request, and those who fail to keep up will be eliminated.
Four years later, among the players in this conference room, how many people can catch the plane to Spain and Portugal?
