At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, training began again.
Because there will be a game tomorrow, coach Achim Philipkowski will give priority to arranging the main players for tactical drills.
Since Yang Cheng was training with the team for the first time, Philipkowski did not let him participate in tactical drills.
He asked the coach of the reserve team to take Yang Cheng to the next field to do some restorative and basic training.
Due to the low training intensity, Yang Cheng can occasionally find time to watch the tactical drills on the next court.
In his previous life, Yang Cheng was also a player of the old FM series. After watching for a while, he found that Philipkowski was practicing a 4-5-1 tactic, that is, a lineup of four defenders + five midfielders + a single striker.
The main reason is that the former head coach dismissed get out of class too quickly, without giving Philipkowski time to prepare, he was quickly appointed as the acting coach by the club's senior sports director Franz Gerber, and he was directly responsible for the team's training and pre-match training. Tactical preparation.
As a former assistant coach, Philipkowski, who had never been a coach, accepted the appointment although he felt a lot of pressure, but he still accepted it.
This may be an opportunity. Once he achieves results, he will be able to successfully upgrade from assistant coach to head coach in the future.
He considered that with the current team personnel configuration, the 3-5-2 tactic is the most appropriate, but this tactic was used by the former head coach Ditmar Demus before, and the same tactic was used in the two games. Only scored 1 goal, but conceded 8 goals.
Philipkowski decided to use 4-5-1 tactics after careful consideration, since the three defenders in the backcourt can't resist? Then I'll use four guards.
This is a conservative tactic. Philipkowski feels that it is better to be more cautious when arranging tactics as an acting head coach for the first time.
So, the team began to practice on the afternoon of August 20th, and it has only been 2 days until today. However, Philipkowski feels that there is still a little effect, but there is not enough time, because the game will be played tomorrow.
Of course, the specific effect depends on how much the players can play in tomorrow's game.
But it's too early to think about it now, and the result will be known after tomorrow's game.
I don't know if it was Yang Cheng's joining that stimulated them, or what?
In the tactical drill starting at 4 o'clock, the teammates all performed very hard, especially the Brazilian Marco, who worked very hard in the tactical drill just now.
The joining of Yang Cheng made him feel the pressure.
Even Yang Cheng found out.
Yang Cheng wondered if this would give the acting coach Philipkowski an illusion: the team will definitely win tomorrow.
An hour passed quickly, and it is exactly 17 o'clock now.
Philipkowski was very satisfied with the cooperation of the tactical drill just before, so as soon as the time came to 17:00, he blew the whistle for the end of the training, called all his teammates together, praised him well, and then ordered Let's talk about the issues that need to be paid attention to in tomorrow's game, and then announce the dissolution.
After training, most of the team members returned to the locker room one after another. Those who changed their clothes changed their clothes, and those who took a shower took a shower.
The players who don't want to take a shower at the training base change their clothes, pack their things, and go home.
When the teammates were almost gone, Yang Cheng was still on the training ground, and the reserve team coach who was in charge of his training had also left after get off work.
"Yang, why aren't you leaving? Do you want me to see you off?" Yang Cheng's former Frankfurt teammate, Jens Rasievski, was coming out of the locker room after packing up. Seeing that Yang Cheng was still on the training ground, He offered to send him off.
"No, thank you! Jens, I want to continue practicing for a while, so you should go back first."
"Okay! Yang, don't practice too late, there is a game tomorrow."
"OK, I see, Jens, see you tomorrow."
Yang Cheng felt that the amount of training for one hour was too low, and the training intensity of recovery training and basic training was too low to satisfy him at all, so he decided to stay and practice more.
Yang Cheng first practiced shooting after running around several courts for 20 laps.
?He practiced extra until after seven o'clock, and it was almost dark before Yang Cheng finished his training. Then he called his agent and asked him to come to the base to pick him up.
On Friday, August 23, 2002, the weather was overcast.
At this time, most of Europe was suffering from floods.
L¨¹beck is located in Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany, 60 kilometers away from Hamburg. It is the center of the Hanseatic City Union and is known as the "Queen of the Hanseatics".
LubeThe city is a famous tourist city in Germany. It is called "Lubika" by the locals, which means "charming place".
Since the city was founded in 1143, it has been a famous port and commercial city in Europe. Its influence is comparable to that of Hamburg, Copenhagen, Bremen and other Hanseatic cities.
At this time, Yang Cheng was sitting on the team bus from Hamburg to L¨¹beck, looking at the scenery along the way, which reminded him of the relevant information about L¨¹beck that he found on the Internet last night.
Today is his first away trip since joining the St. Pauli club.
This is also the third round of the Bundesliga Bundesliga. St. Pauli will challenge the newly promoted L¨¹beck of the Bundesliga away.
According to last season's ranking, St. Pauli was relegated from the Bundesliga, and L¨¹beck was promoted from the Bundesliga. The gap between the two teams was as much as 20 places. If nothing unexpected, Yang Cheng felt that St. Pauli should be more likely to win.
Yang Cheng, who was idle and bored, was listening to the music while flipping through a few German local newspapers he bought in the morning.
"Kicker" introduced that the match between L¨¹beck and St. Pauli was a derby match, and the performance of the two teams in the first two games of the season was eye-popping. The L¨¹beck team, which was promoted from the Bundesliga, is now ranked third in the league with two consecutive victories, and they still played in the last season.
The St. Pauli team in the Bundesliga currently has the worst performance, ranking second from the bottom.
Tonight's game "Kicker" predicts that L¨¹beck will play 4-3-3, while St. Pauli will play 4-5-1, and Yang Cheng will be a substitute.
The "Hamburg Morning Post" compared the 11 players in different positions of the two teams, and concluded from this: L¨¹beck won 4-1, and the only one to get back 1 point for St. Pauli was Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng was quite surprised that the "Hamburg Morning Post" was so optimistic about him.
The "Hamburger Evening Zeitung" is relatively neutral, neither predicting nor evaluating.
Just briefly mentioned that although the newly joined Yang Cheng may have to be a substitute tonight, he will appear in the game no matter what.
"Le Monde" believes that although the final list of appearances has not been announced, it is entirely possible for Yang Cheng to start.
It may be that the editor of "Le Monde" did not read the press conference news of Yang Cheng's signing yesterday, otherwise he would not have thought that Yang Cheng could start.
From Hamburg to L¨¹beck, if you take the train, it will take about 43 minutes, but if you take the team bus, it will take about an hour and a half.
The bus Yang Cheng and the others took departed from the St. Pauli training base at 9:30, and it was already 11 o'clock when they arrived at the team's hotel in L¨¹beck.
