Coaching career started as a college team coach

Wei Le, who was drowsy in the history of law class, was suddenly poked on the shoulder by Han Yang who was sitting next to him, and he was suddenly startled.

Yes, Wei Le didn't sleep last night. He started to think about random things when he couldn't sleep, and he couldn't sleep even more when he thought about random things. This time Han Yang didn't invite him to go out for a walk, because Han Yang, who was exhausted, slept more soundly.

"What's the matter?" Wei Le rubbed his eyes, glanced at the teacher who was talking nonstop, and asked Han Yang in a low voice.

"The next game is against the School of Public Administration, they beat the School of Literature and Communication." Han Yang was still lowering his head to send messages to others. He showed Wei Le the screen of his mobile phone, and Wei Le saw the news that the School of Public Administration defeated the School of Literature and Communication 2-0.

Wei Le became energetic. He yawned, but decided to listen to the class carefully before thinking about football.

Wei Le rarely dozed off in class, but after becoming the head coach of the team, he increasingly found that what those people said in interviews about "balancing study and football" were nonsense. Where can you have so much energy to do both at the same time?

As the head coach, he has given up all the time for playing games, even his favorite "Football Manager" has long been abandoned.

While Wei Le is constantly enriching himself, he also has to arrange training, design tactical details, and deal with interpersonal relationships. For a rookie who has just started, he has to spend more time. Although tired, he enjoys this process very much.

But he must make a choice. More and more dozing off in class has also sounded the alarm for Wei Le. He must focus on something, otherwise he will lose both. In the next time, whether he really wants to go the way of football, or just follow his parents' arrangement and take the legal exam.

He can't make a decision now because he has only won one game. Although he can accept the legal path, Wei Le is unwilling to give up this path with a system designed specifically for head coaches.

——

Wei Le thought about it and felt that instead of worrying about the choice of future path, it is better to start with the most basic things and win one game after another, which is also to increase his chips.

So he put his energy back to the game that just ended. Through the system, he was able to re-watch the entire game from a God's perspective. He frowned and found many details that he had discovered during the game but did not understand thoroughly.

The first is physical training. The players were much less active in the second half of the game than in the first half. Some players were actually out of shape before and after the halftime break.

There is no way to do this. Even professional teams are more or less worried about physical fitness - figuring out how to get the team to run, run more, and run better is the premise for every team to win the game.

But this is bound to be a long process, and the rigorous physical training is too stressful for students. After all, this is not a professional team, and the players' primary task is still to study.

Wei Le must accept that in the short term, the team does not have the ability to press throughout the game, and he is too whimsical.

What attracted Wei Le's attention even more was Zhao Pingping's position. In the last game, Zhao Pingping's position in the first half of the game was too fixed. Many times he directly "stood" near the opponent's defender, and his position was very isolated.

But after his own reminder, Zhao Pingping also deliberately looked for his position, so in the next three goals, Zhao Pingping played an important role.

Especially his point-scoring goal in the first goal fully utilized his advantage of being good at heading. In the second half, he and Yang Qi could undoubtedly coexist. A two-meter high center forward rushing into the penalty area would often attract the attention of two or more defensive players, thus giving the alert Yang Qi more opportunities.

Zhao Pingping's problem was initially solved, but he was not the only player who couldn't find a position on the court.

Defensive midfielder Li Bing, who was replaced in the midfield, and Zhou Chang, who made a mistake at the beginning, also showed more or less confusion, and even left winger Zhao Zihang sometimes felt dizzy.

Wei Le knew that under the current player conditions, it would be a pipe dream to ask the team to replicate the tactics of any top team at this stage. What he asked was that the team could ensure the basic "order" in both the offensive and defensive stages.

Sitting in an empty classroom, the players surrounded a projector with not particularly good image quality.

"Today's training is not outside, but indoors. The theme of today's training is not technology, but to teach everyone how to play football." Wei Le cleared his throat and began to speak, "Some people say that everyone knows how to play football, and everyone has played a game. Isn't it just passing, shooting, and dribbling?"

"Not really." Wei Le shook his finger. Before the game, he specially arranged for other students toA camera was set up in the stands to record the entire match.

He played part of it. As soon as the video started, Zhou Chang knew that this was the time when he missed a player and lost the ball. It seemed that he would be criticized, and Zhou Chang looked embarrassed.

In the video, the opponent's organizing midfielder Xu Peng received the ball and passed it to the side, and Jiang Zian received the ball calmly.

But at this time, Wei Le paused the screen. The players looked confused and didn't know what was wrong, but Yang Qi's eyes lit up.

"Do you think Jiang Zian received the ball too smoothly?" Wei Le smiled, and he played the video again, "Everyone pay attention to everyone's position."

Liu Zihang suddenly realized, and Wei Le saw Liu Zihang's eyes, "Hang, what do you think?"

"Pressing should start with me. I left him too much space at the time." Liu Zihang scratched his head and said.

Wei Le nodded and continued to play the video, "Let's continue watching."

Looking at Liu Zihang who was still walking back on the court, Liu Zihang in front of the screen felt a little guilty and whispered, "Oh, my problem."

But Wei Le shook his finger and motioned everyone to continue watching. When the right-back Jiang Zian received the ball, he soon encountered Zhou Chang, and the opponent's winger ran from behind Jiang Zian and played a side-by-side match. Before Jiang Zian passed the ball, Wei Le paused the video.

"What does the opponent's winger want to do?"

Wei Le's question this time made the players think silently, and even goalkeeper Jiang Xin frowned and thought at this time.

Han Yang thought about it, raised his hand first and said, "I want to side-by-side."

Wei Le clapped his hands to encourage, "Then why is he side-by-side?"

Wei Le and Yang Qi, who had just brightened up, met each other's eyes, and he motioned Yang Qi to answer.

"He wants to draw our defenders away. If one of our players is drawn out, the full-back will have space to cross the ball. If not..."

Yang Qi did not continue, because in fact, Zhang Tie and Zhou Chang's hasty position change caused Zhou Chang to fail to catch up with the winger, and Zhang Tie did not have time to rush to the winger.

Therefore, the opponent's winger got the opportunity to cross the ball calmly. The positions of Fu Tengfei and Zhang Xin, the two central defenders, were far apart, and neither of them could effectively intercept the opponent's forward.

Wei Le gave him a thumbs up and motioned him to sit down.

"What I want to say is that defense is not just the job of the defensive players, but the common task of all players. Some of our players have also noticed this."

He rewound the video to the beginning. When Xu Peng received the ball, Liu Ziyu was smart and rushed forward to press, and Zhao Pingping intentionally or unintentionally blocked his way to the left. So Xu Peng could only choose to pass to the right.

"We did a good job here. If we don't press here, they will go to the middle, maybe with a straight pass, or maybe with a few cooperations, tearing open our defense. We pushed them to the wing and delayed their attack, which was a good job."

"But if we also give their full-backs some restrictions on the wing, their full-backs will not rush so recklessly. Foul when necessary." Wei Le pointed to Liu Zihang's position this time. Liu Zihang understood his problem this time, and he nodded repeatedly.

"The first thing the full-backs on both sides need to do is to be 'stable', so..."

Wei Le pointed to Zhou Chang who rushed forward but was easily passed by, and asked, "What do you think you should do at this time?"

Zhou Chang immediately answered, "You should retreat first and stand in position."

Wei Le nodded, and he continued to guide Zhang Tie, Li Bing and the two central defenders to recognize the details of this attack.

"We cannot guarantee a high-tempo pressing throughout the game, so we must try to ensure order in every defensive process. Everyone does what they should do, which is order." Wei Le added at the end. Yang Qi was already shocked by the training program arranged by Wei Le. The tactical class at this time constantly refreshed Yang Qi's understanding of Wei Le. Yang Qi certainly took the tactical class, and there were many times in training when the coach would specifically emphasize tactics. Wei Le's requirement of "orderly defense" is not complicated, but Wei Le pointed out this point so clearly by reviewing the game video after the game, which requires a lot of skills. Yang Qi has seen many coaches, most of whom do not pay attention to the game replay at all, and some only tell the players "there is a problem with doing this." But Yang Qi rarely gets an answer to where the problem lies. He gets more imperative instructions, requiring players to "run up" at this time and "run back" at that time. As for why to do this, what are the benefits, and what effect to achieve, these are not issues that Yang Qi and his former teammates need to consider.Yang Qi suddenly had a bold idea that what he gained from playing under Wei Le might be more than just "maintaining game form". His improved understanding of the game might even be greater than what he achieved in the professional team.
