My light shines on Arsenal

Chapter 39 You are a good coach, and so am I ([-])

Germany, Dortmund, Westfalenstadion.

The lights are bright and the voices are loud.

The yellow figure advanced like a hurricane on the green field, tearing apart the opponent's defense.

The full-backs rushed forward like the wind, occupying space on the wing.

The two-wing winger cut through butter like a heated sharp knife, and entered the penalty area, as if cutting a piece of soft butter.

The opponent's defensive formation was completely disrupted, and it became a scattered line, winding in front of one's own goal, weak and deceptive.

Without hesitation, the forwards rushed towards the goal and smashed the football into it.

"Dortmund! They've scored again! With their trademark high pressing and oppressive counter-attacks! This is Dortmund, this is Jurgen Klopp's team! They continue on their way to defending the Bundesliga title superior!"

Amid the huge cheers of the fans in the stadium, the bearded coach opened his arms like a rock star who had just finished a concert to welcome all the fans in the stadium.

The era of limp Spain is coming to an end, and I will tell you what the future of football is.

Thinking of this, the bearded man's smile grew stronger.

He turned and walked towards the helpless coach of the other side not far away, shook hands, then turned and left.

Bundesliga?There are not many teams here that can be called rivals.

My football philosophy needs a higher honor to prove it.

……

The exciting game has ended for an hour.

The Westfalenstadion was quiet, and there was no trace of the fact that not long ago, tens of thousands of fans poured in here and defeated a team.

A room in the office area of ​​the stadium is still lit, revealing a faint light.

The bearded coach slowly swallowed the last bite of the burger, then crumpled up the wrapper and threw it into the trash can accurately.

It was getting late, but he had no intention of leaving.

Videos of the football match were shown on the TV screen, and the teams in red and white jerseys were also prancing on the green field.

The camera was shown on the coach's bench, and the director specially gave a shot to Arsene Wenger, who was sitting on the seat with a kind and gratifying smile on his face, and then focused on the young face on the sidelines.

"Asians. Do they know how to play football? Can they command the Champions League after learning a little bit of European fur?"

The bearded man shook his head, as if lamenting the decline of European football.Bayern Munich is enough for him to disdain, occupying almost a monopoly of German players' resources, but has always stuck to his own set, and he is satisfied with winning the German championship.

As for Asia... Big Beard has never taken it seriously.In his view, football there is just copying something from the West, and there is no way to copy it.

And now, he even saw such a ridiculous scene. In the Champions League, an oriental face under the age of 30 was directing the game, while their real coach was watching the show from the coaching bench as if he was on vacation.

The bearded man continued to watch the video patiently.Instead of laughing to himself, he stroked his full beard unconsciously.

An hour later, the bearded man turned off the TV.

The whole stadium was in silence, and the bearded man sat quietly on the sofa, blending with Jing Ye.

"Not boring. I hope you're still there in two weeks' time."

……

After defeating Marseille, Arsenal's recovery has not stopped.

In the next two rounds of the league, Arsenal won.

Among them, the most dazzling player is undoubtedly the striker Robin van Persie.

This may be Van Persie's best season, he can break the opponent's goal in almost every game.

His body and technique finally touched the peak, and he turned shots with low expected goals into goals.

Arsenal made the most of Van Persie's comprehensive technical ability, making him the hottest striker in the Premier League, and also grabbed enough points.

In the absence of absolute dominance in the strength of the team, Arsenal has struggled to recover from the bottom of the ranking. From the perspective of players alone, Van Persie has contributed a lot.

And his scoring spree continues.

Returning to the league, it was Wenger who was in charge of the team again.Chen Yao returned to the role of learner and assistant.

It's not that you can learn something only by directing the game, and the off-court skills are even more important to some extent.

Chen Yao carefully observed Wenger's management style and details, and learned every bit of the old coach on and off the field.

How does he organize team training?How to manage player emotions?How to communicate and cooperate with clubs?

Perhaps the manager role like Wenger has almost disappeared in modern football. All clubs are exploring the establishment of a modern management structure and operating the team like a company. Ge's monopolization of power has affected the club's operational efficiency.

But Wenger's ability to secure the role of manager, just like Ferguson, is not just the inertia of history.

Wenger does have an excellent management ability, which may be much better than his on-the-spot command.

It is not difficult to be an academic coach who studies tactics. Enough IQ and appropriate practical experience are enough to train a coach who can serve in most clubs, ranging from youth teams to adult teams.

But it is not so simple to be a manager who can maximize the ability of the team from both on and off the field.

In Chen Yao's previous life, managing a small team was difficult. He knew that he had to manage a football club with hundreds of people, handle the relationship with the board of directors and millions of fans, and at the same time maintain the team on the precipice of financial control. What a daunting task it is to be competitive.

So Wenger is of course a good coach, even "good coach" is not enough to describe him.

If he hadn't fallen in love with football, Wenger could have become a manager and even a politician.

If anyone has watched the video of Wenger leading the team to meet the Queen, he will definitely admit that Wenger's temperament is not much worse than that of the British Prime Minister...

Chen Yao was eager to learn everything he could, and at the same time, he didn't forget to practice his original version of the ball system.

Every day, after the physical and technical training, Chen Yao would bring a few young players to the meeting room, show them the video, and tell them what they should do in various situations.

Chen Yao knew that the badge he owned was constantly playing a role.

It is difficult to quantify a player's skills and IQ, but it can be seen from many places.

Chen Yao found that Verratti's confrontation ability has grown somewhat, and Jorginho's passing accuracy has also increased.

And Carvajal has gradually formed the ability to find opportunities to insert sideways.

In addition, Zaha's technical talent is already good. The idea that Chen Yao instills in him every day is to ask him to think more about what else he can do besides breakthroughs after he feels great.

Finally, Kieran Gibbs, this guy is nothing but mediocre, but Chen Yao always felt that he just had the wrong skill points.

He guided Gibbs to gradually accept his role as a defensive midfielder.In fact, Gibbs is no stranger. The skills and conceptual habits of the youth training period will affect a player for a long time.

They are treasures dug by Chen Yao and Arsenal's wealth.

First, though, they need to continue Arsenal's precarious Champions League run.
