Although it is winter, the sun shines in through the window, making the whole house bright and warm. If you make a cup of tea and read and write historical masterpieces, it is undoubtedly excellent.

But now it is not so leisurely. The players of the reserve team are sitting in the conference room of the training base like a group of good babies, waiting for their tactical theories. If they cannot instill the popular football theory they have summarized into the minds of these young players, then what else can they talk about in actual training?

"First of all, everyone should realize one problem, that is, we have been playing rough football, relying on our bodies and concise playing style to deal with our opponents, this is a completely outdated football or will eventually be eliminated."

Zhang Mu's voice was originally a bit low, but when he saw that there seemed to be several players below that seemed to be taking a nap, he raised his voice and focused the players' attention on himself.

"So we have to abandon this tactical concept. We want to play technical football, controlled football, and overall football. Maybe everyone doesn't understand, but you just need to know that this is a trend and a general direction of football around the world. If you don't want to be eliminated, then you have to make changes."

The players' eyes were very confused, and they were completely confused when they looked at the coach talking. They would not consider this kind of problem at all. They just played whatever the coach asked them to do, so they didn't have time to think about it.

"Okay, next is our first phase of training content, running without a ball." Zhang Mu turned around and wrote a few words on the whiteboard.

"Everyone must have watched Manchester United's game. Manchester United has always been a great team. They have a set of football philosophy that has been implemented since the youth team, that is, running without a ball. The reason why they can achieve such excellent results is that the stars are one aspect, but more importantly, their running without a ball."

"Running is not a meaningless running. Around the ball handler, we should run to a position that is conducive to receiving the ball under the opponent's side. At the same time, this also determines the direction, method and timing of the pass."

"The players who take the ball should act based on the situation of the players who don't have the ball and predict the plans of their companions based on the unpredictable position occupied by the players. After an excellent team gets the ball, all players need to move to the gap immediately, so that the players who take the ball have the widest selection of pass points."

"The significance of running without a ball is to make planned allocations in various areas based on the basic qualities of teammates, so as to play their maximum abilities in defense and offense. Run without a ball cannot be blind, it must be within a certain range, and teammates must cooperate harmoniously with each other in order to make the game go smoothly and relaxed."

"The running without the ball is closely related to running. The purpose of running is mainly to create gaps, so that the players on the side can reduce pressure, break through the opponent smoothly, and create a favorable situation on the field. During the running without the ball, you should always pay attention to changes on the field, try to create gaps for your peers, create illusions for the defending players, and let them run out of the defensive position so that their team members can use the gap to attack."

"Every unseason must give full play to their abilities and keep running within a certain range. The opponent's players always feel that there are people running everywhere on the field, allowing the defenders to constantly change defenses and make up for positions. Teammates use the opportunity to create gaps to organize offenses and shoot opportunities, posing more and greater threats to the defenders."

"I believe that everyone will be exposed to simple ball-free running in their daily competitions and training. According to my plan, in the recent period, we will contact the system's ball-free running to organically combine the running with the competition. As long as everyone can meet the requirements initially, then we will start the next training plan."

After saying so many words in one breath, Zhang Mu felt dry and quickly picked up the pure water on the table in front and poured it into his mouth. At the same time, he was still thinking that as a coach, he would definitely not get better when he screamed in the future, and his throat would be a problem at that time.

"The rest of our time today is to watch the video of the competition. We will start formal practice tomorrow morning. I hope everyone will prepare for a hard training because it is really boring."

After saying that, he picked up a CD and stuffed it into the computer, and the game scene appeared on the big screen.

Zhang Mu collected highlights of the peak Manchester United matches of the 1998-99 season. At that time, Manchester United really carried forward the unball running. Every player in the midfield was very purposeful and threatening. No matter who took the ball, he could find a point around him that could easily get the ball, which was very representative.

"I'm not asking everyone to watch the fun. Everyone should observe the running situation of Manchester United players, and at the same time simulate themselves on the field, think about how they will run, and then correct their wrong running concepts before."

Zhang Mu found that there were actually several team members watching the excitement, instead of paying attention to the details, and quickly interrupted the team members' thinking.

For a while, he seemed to have become a commentator of the game, but instead of explaining the exciting scenes, he explained the specific details of the running, such as how Scholes and Giggs were running around when Keane took the ball, how Stam was running behind him, and how Cole in front was running.

After the long highlights, Zhang Mu's voice was almost speechless, but most of the players were confused. Although he had a certain idea of ​​running without the ball, he also knew that real mastery was not something that could be done by watching a video.

After letting the team members go, Zhang Mu returned to the office to rest. He felt that he had a long way to go and didn't know whether it was really appropriate to choose to fight in the reserve team. However, when he thought of these talented young people, he felt that he should write a brilliant mark on their careers.

At this time, assistant coach Pettit pushed the door and walked in, with an expression on his face indescribably confused.

Sitting on the sofa carelessly, Zhang Mu, the younger generation, immediately presented the coffee. He knew that the old coach must have something to come to him.
Chapter completed!
