Chapter 1635 The Famous Marshals Stand in Line

Lunch is long.

As long as the topic changed, it changed from Ajax to Liverpool, then from Liverpool to Manchester City, and then to other teams.

Among them, what caught Yang Yang's attention was a short speech by Tuchel himself.

The head coach of Paris Saint-Germain's coaching performance in the last season was not satisfactory, especially in terms of the strength of Paris Saint-Germain, but he won the club's contract extension, which shows that the Paris Saint-Germain management is very fond of him. approved.

But don’t be like some fans who always think that the owners of European clubs are fools and idiots, and they are easily fooled. In fact, they are not. In this day and age, no one is a fool. Every club has its own A set of review mechanisms, especially for a team like Paris Saint-Germain, will only have stricter requirements for the head coach.

Tuchel's ability to win the contract extension at least proves that he did many things right, and made the Paris Saint-Germain management feel that his coaching has a future and hope, otherwise who would be so stupid to pay him a high salary?

Tuchel didn't talk about his contract extension, he just talked about the difficulties he encountered while coaching.

In the last season, he always hoped to try out more formations for Paris Saint-Germain, so for a while, he repeatedly polished the formation, from four three three to three four one two, from four four one one to four two Trinity, various formations are constantly switching, which has caused Paris Saint-Germain players to be unable to adapt.

You must know that the positions and tasks of the players are different between four three three and four two three one.

Tuchel tried 4411. He originally wanted to play more steadily, but in the end the players did not adapt, the lineup became unstable, and he was eliminated from the Champions League, which made him very depressed.

But one thing is worthy of recognition, that is, his Paris Saint-Germain is extremely stable in Ligue 1.

...

Regarding Tuchel's question, Zidane pointed at Yang Yang with a smile.

"I think he should have the most say on this issue, because from the time we worked together until now, he has never taken the warm-up match seriously. He was like this when he was coaching Ajax, and he is still the same when he is coaching Real Madrid this season. You see, seven consecutive losses in seven warm-up matches, but in the league, they won three consecutive games."

Yang Yang glanced at Zidane gratefully, knowing that he intended to help him.

Of course, Zidane was right. Yang Yang never took warm-up matches seriously. Play different tactics.

Yang Yang is not surprised by Tuchel's problem at all, and his solution to the problem is also very simple, that is, to stay true to the principle of change and grasp the core essence of the matter.

For example, in Ajax, he just wants to press in a high position, whether it is 442, 433, 4231, or even play three defenders, but he just wants to play high. oppression.

But when it came to Real Madrid, the problem became much more complicated.

Ajax can make a fresh move, but winning the championship last season was a bit of luck, but Yang Yang can't hope that the goddess of luck will favor him again and again, right?

So when he arrived at Real Madrid, he wanted to further adapt the team's tactics, so that the team can adapt to more different formations and tactics, and then be able to deal with more scenes and opponents.

"The current targeted tactics are really terrible. The one that impressed me the most was the North American International Champions Cup against Atletico Madrid. My idea in the first half was to control the ball, but as a result, Diego's team came up. It doesn't matter what happens, just go straight to it, and it will directly stun my players, scoring five goals in a row."

Everyone suddenly smiled, that game was indeed very interesting.

"I was also anxious at the time. You can lose the warm-up match, but you can't lose it like this? So, I moved out all my family assets and started playing directly in the second half, so I chased four goals in a row, but just as we were about to tie the score, Even during the reversal, Diego made continuous substitutions and adjustments, and the defense stabilized."

When Yang Yang said this, he spread his arms, feeling very helpless.

It sounds like a very common word, but in fact, only the head coaches like them can understand how difficult it is to arrange troops and command on the spot like this on the court.

"This game made me believe even more that we must adapt to more tactics and formations, and we must make ourselves more comprehensive. More comprehensive means more choices."

Yang Yang's words convinced everyone present.

Indeed, being comprehensive means more choices, but not every team is qualified to pursue comprehensiveness.

Like Atletico Madrid, the Sheets can only stick to one of their own styles and try to dig deep to the extreme, because their lineup cannot be comprehensive and excellent.

Only top teams such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​or teams with good money such as Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, can it be possible to collect a strong lineup, be comprehensive and excellent, and have more options.

…………

…………

A full lunch lasted until the afternoon.

After a long conversation, everyone had a deeper impression of Yang Yang, and they all began to believe that Yang Yang led Ajax to success not because of luck or accident, but because he really had such strength.

Laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway.

It is absolutely impressive to be able to speak eloquently in front of many world famous coaches and at the same time have something to say.

After lunch, everyone took a short break and boarded the bus to the UEFA headquarters in Nyon.

Tomorrow is the highlight of the summit, and the afternoon is just a routine gathering.

But to everyone's surprise, outside the UEFA headquarters, more media reporters and fans from afar gathered, all of them came for Yang Yang's name, which surprised everyone. At the same time, I deeply admire Yang Yang's popularity.

After a fun afternoon, dinner was a feast of UEFA hospitality.

...

The next morning, after everyone finished their breakfast, they arrived at the UEFA headquarters again and started the main topic of the summit.

The discussions at the elite coaching summit are more about the issues of the European Football League and some problems in the game process. In addition to the topics given by UEFA, everyone will have a period of free speech time, and they can completely raise their own issues.

For example, both Guardiola and Klopp raised the issue of VAR video referees at the same time, but what is interesting is that these two Premier League coaches have different attitudes towards VAR video referees, and their opinions are completely different.

The reason is that in the Premier League last season, Manchester City suffered from video referees, and Liverpool took advantage.

Both of them believed that the video referee should be changed, but the direction of the change was different.

This kind of conflict of views is very common in elite coaching summits. To put it bluntly, each coach represents his own interests, and the ass decides the head. Naturally, they all hope to initiate some reforms that are more beneficial to themselves.

Just like Yang Yang, he continued his previous speech at the FIFA Awards Conference. He once again expressed the hope that UEFA can pay more attention to the current skyrocketing transfer fees and player annual salaries in European football.

Yang Yang said frankly that Ajax is the biggest beneficiary of this summer, but he still believes that this model cannot last. On the contrary, UEFA should introduce relevant policies to control the investment of clubs and the annual salary of players. spending to avoid a vicious arms race.

Yang Yang's proposal is not selfish, because Ajax has already made enough money. Even if the club's investment and player's annual salary are restricted in the future, the value of Ajax players will not be low, but the living environment they face will be much improved. , and Real Madrid's financial income, as well as the nature of the club's operations, determine that this team will never be short of money.

The biggest opinions on Yang Yang's proposal are local tycoons like Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, so both Guardiola and Tuchel have reservations about Yang Yang's opinions.

To put it bluntly, if these rich teams don't spend a lot of money, what are they going to do with the traditional giants?

Therefore, not allowing them to burn money, or restricting them to burn money, is tantamount to weakening their competitiveness in a different direction.

Barcelona also opposed Yang Yang's proposal, because their club's players' annual salary expenditure ratio is very high. Even if they sell Cristiano Ronaldo, their player's annual salary expenditure still exceeds 70%, which is very dangerous.

Yang Yang's point of view is not new. He has mentioned it before, and many people have also mentioned it, but it has to be said that with the skyrocketing value and annual salary of European football players, this problem has indeed become more and more acute.

Ajax is definitely one of the alternative.

After earning 700 million euros this summer, Wei Zheng allocated 200 million euros to Yang Yang. At the same time, he once again bought out the property rights of the entire Cruyff Stadium and the two surrounding supporting buildings from the city government, completely incorporating them into the Ajax's private property.

Subsequently, the wealthy Ajax announced at the end of August that they had acquired a shopping center and a hotel next to the Cruyff Stadium. It is a plan to build a new city in the southeast of Amsterdam, and even the most eye-catching commercial center in the entire Amsterdam city circle.

This caused a huge stir throughout the Netherlands.

However, due to Yang Yang's departure, Ajax's attention has been weakened, so that there is not much movement in European and world football, and many fans have never heard of it at all.

Yang Yang, Wei Zheng and others are convinced that if this plan is realized and operated successfully, then no matter whether Ajax will continue to secure the leading position in the Eredivisie or merge the Eredivisie with the Liga to form a brand new league , Ajax will have good competitiveness and gain a firm place in European football.

...

The entire elite coaching summit lasted into the afternoon.

Among them, there was an episode in the photo session in the afternoon. Originally, Yang Yang, the coach of the Champions League champion, was supposed to sit in the C position, but Yang Yang stood modestly in the back row, and finally became Carlo Ancelotti and the old coach. Lucescu sat in the middle.

Yang Yang's humility also won unanimous praise.
