Chapter 19 - Van Gaal
In order to show how much Almere attaches importance to this semester assessment, the venue is arranged at the club’s home court.
The municipal court belongs to the Almere municipal government, but it has been leased by the club for a long time. It is connected with the club ’s training ground. The east side is a football field, and the south side is a tennis and baseball field.
The first team’s home court is not large, and there are only low-level single-storey stands around.
When Yang Yang and others came out of the dressing room and entered the arranged venue, except for the central position of the main grandstand, a large number of fans were already seated in the grandstands. Many players parents and friends played banners of encouragement.
Yang Yang also saw his uncle’s family in the grandstand on the east side. Even the employees of the Chinese restaurant came to cheer for him. Because he was warming up, he didn’t pass by, but he waved and greeted him.
When Yang Yang warmed up in the stadium meticulously, a sound came from the grandstand.
I only saw the club chairman René Tallberg accompanied several VIPs. Although there was no welcome ceremony, many people still recognized it. The guests included the mayor and government officials of Almere, Many subsequent accompaniments were also celebrities of Almere.
Yang Yang had just arrived, and he was very strange to these people. He didn’t care about it. He still carried out warm-up training. On the contrary, it was Genk Dimer and others who were very excited about the arrival of the mayor.
“It seems that the rumor that the city government will strongly support Almere’s impact on the Dutch League is true.”
“With the support of the municipal government, and the club officially becoming the satellite club of Ajax, I believe that in the next few years, Almere will do a great job. It is sooner or later to enter the Dutch League.”
“Yes, that’s right, it won’t work this year, and will definitely be able to enter next year.”
Yang Yang listened silently. He only recognized Chairman René Tallberg, who is said to be a local rich in Almere, but did not live in the city, but live in Braricum.
Laren and Blaricum in the southeastern suburbs of Amsterdam are the most popular residential areas for the rich and corporate executives, but they are closer to Almere, just south of Lake Hoy in the southwest of Almere.
What really makes Yang Yang admire is Tallberg ’s vision and courage. It took less than seven years to establish Almere to bring this team to today ’s level. The main reason is that Tallberg is very concerned about John Rep. In addition to finances, he almost gave the club full power to John Rep.
Contrary to the atmosphere of Chinese football, in the Netherlands, football is the most fashionable talk of all political and business celebrities. This can be seen from the fact that Trberg is talking with the mayor and other government officials on the main stand.
The government is also very willing to invest in hardware. Among other things, in addition to a standard stadium with stands and two training buildings, these venues leased by Almere have six standard football training venues and three half courts. At least three or four training venues of this size are in Almere.
While Yang Yang marveled at the Dutch government’s investment in football, there was another wave of activity in the grandstand.
Looking up, I saw John Rep, the first-team coach, appearing in the main stand, very politely guiding the two VIPs behind him, and Tallberg and others who had been sitting on the top of the stand were all standing together. Got up.
“who is this?”
“What is this man and woman?”
“Ah, my God, that’s … that’s …”
“Van Gal!”
“Who?”
“Van Gaal! Louis van Gaal!”
“real or fake?”
“Really, it’s really Louis Van Gaal.”
“God, why is he here?”
Not only did the players on the court talk, but even the parents and fans in the surrounding stands were upset.
Luis van Gaal, who is a super coach in Dutch football and Ajax, has been engaged in youth training in Ajax for a long time, trained many stars, and later brought Ajax to the 90s The throne of the Champions League is Ajax’s last glory, also known as the last godfather of Ajax after Michels and Cruyff.
Not to mention anything else, now Ajax head coach Ronald Coman is the player brought out by Van Gaal.
Everyone was marveling at Van Gaal’s appearance, and Yang Yang was also dumbfounded.
He saw it, walking behind head coach John Rep. Isn’t it the Dutch middle-aged who often ran to watch him train? And isn’t the middle-aged lady who is his girlfriend Truss Opamel?
Be good, it turns out that he is Louis Van Gaal!
Yang anode was surprised, some could not believe it.
To say that he is in the country, he is familiar with football news, and he is naturally familiar with the name of Louis Van Gaal, but because he is only in a county-level city in Quanzhou, the newspapers and information are not developed, and the TV is not live broadcast. La Liga, who came to the Netherlands this year and bored his head to train, ignored other things, and Van Gaal wore a golf cap every time he saw him, covering most of his face, so that he didn’t recognize it at all.
But Van Gaal is not coaching Barcelona?
Oh, yes, there seemed to be news in January that he was fired early.
Although he took classes from Barcelona twice, coaching the Dutch national team was unsuccessful, but Van Gaal ’s status in Dutch football is still very lofty, everyone is respectful of him, and Almere is also able to invite him It is an honour to wait for the arrival of the world’s top coach.
Yang Yang looked at Van Gaal in the stadium. The Dutch coach also found his figure in the stands, raised his right hand with a smile, and greeted Yang Yang. This move immediately attracted the attention of John Rep beside him. .
“Louis, do you know Yang Yang?” John Rep asked in surprise.
Van Gaal narrowed his smile and nodded lightly, “Let’s know it.”
He doesn’t seem to like to talk about his private affairs in front of outsiders.
“What’s more, he secretly followed people for more than a month, but the result was still out of sight.” Truth quipped with a smile.
John Rep is even stranger, “What’s going on?”
Truss glanced at Van Gaal, and found that he was reluctant to say more, and she could only say a few words, except that Van Gaal felt that Yang Yang’s basic practice could not last long, and the result was unexpected Category.
She spoke vaguely, but John Rep was shocked.
As the team’s head coach, he has completely changed Yang Yang, and he is very optimistic. But according to Truss, even Van Gaal has favored Yang Yang. He even followed him for more than a month of training. What does it stand for?
Who does n’t know the entire Netherlands, Van Gaal is famous for his bad temper, and he ca n’t fit a grain of sand in his eyes, but he can follow Yang Yang for a month. What can he say besides being very optimistic?
And who does n’t know, Van Gaal ’s vision is notoriously venomous, and his favor is even more convincing than being seen by the chief scout of Ajax. Attracted the attention of countless Dutch teams, and even solicited.
More importantly, John Rep has got the exact news, Van Gaal’s next stop is …
Thoughts flashed through his head, and Almere coach was caught off guard.
…………
…………
After the players finished their warm-up, the club’s chairman René Tallberg began his pre-assessment speech, and also announced a major event for the club, that is, Yanmar Agricultural Machinery from Japan officially sponsored the title Almere Stadium.
In other words, the municipal stadium will be officially renamed Yanmar Stadium in the future.
This sponsorship from Japan will greatly ease the financial pressure on Almere and also greatly stimulate the club.
Regardless of whether the team can be successful this season, but at the very least, the club’s business is definitely booming.
After Chairman René Tallberg, head coach John Rep solemnly introduced the purpose of the semester assessment, and announced that he invited the famous coach Van Gaal to serve as the technical consultant for this assessment, which was thunderous. applause.
The test is the same as the usual training class, or 90 minutes, and the training items are similar to the usual training. They are some of the most important routine items for evaluation, such as the ten-meter and thirty-meter sprint back and forth, walking the monkey and four. The only difference between four and six on six small field offenses and defenses is that at the end of the training, a 30-minute full-field offense and defense match was arranged.
Since the training program was not surprising, everyone quickly started the final assessment under the organization of Dick Van Pur.
Although it is a daily training project on weekdays, everyone clearly feels the difference. There are more coaches holding notepads on the sidelines and scoring while watching the game. This makes many of them perform well on weekdays, but they are slightly nervous. Players feel pressured and make mistakes frequently.
In this regard, the coaches will not give any sympathy when scoring, because this is part of the psychological evaluation.
The psychological quality is not hard enough, which is also restricting the future development of players. After all, in the real game, the opponent will not give the weak the slightest pity and sympathy.
As in the game of Omnibas, the right-back who replaced Nick played very badly. After that, he has been beaten into the cold palace by Dick Fanpoor, and he has never had even one appearance.
Coaching is not just about seeing nothing wrong, it’s more about comprehensive evaluation.
For example, the pass will evaluate the passer’s passing quality, such as the speed of the ball, the route of the ball, whether it passes to the receiver’s customary foot, whether it is easy to catch the ball, etc. At the same time, the passer’s running Move and catch the ball.
Yang Yang’s passing and receiving are weak points. Although his progress has been obvious after more than a month of hard work, he is still not as good as others. However, his ball-free running and receiving lines and passing lines have always been eye-catching. Performance.
In terms of speed test, whether it is a 10-meter or a 30-meter sprint, he is the best team.
In the past more than a month, in addition to the most basic training, he has not lost his most advantageous speed advantage. Under the professional supervision of Lao Bing, his speed and explosiveness have improved compared to the past.
In the subsequent monkey game and group confrontation, Yang Yang also showed his own progress.
When the final offensive and defensive match was finalized, head coach John Rep and technical advisor Van Gaal both came down from the stands and walked to the sidelines to personally supervise the battle and give the players points. If there are no accidents, I should be watching the World Cup finals at this time. The new week has begun, I hope everyone will support me, and vote for all the recommended votes. Thank you very much!
