There are not many international players in this Manchester City team. Ixassone, Samuel, Kompany, Joel Luka, Sun Jihai, Yaya Toure, Ribery and Torres are all international players from various countries. The young Vidal also The Chilean national team was selected this time, but the number of players is not particularly large, because several of Manchester City's original international players such as Button, Parker, Vassell and others were not selected for the England national team due to some other reasons. team, so the training can still be carried out very well.
After sending away the international players, Dick continued his work. He definitely did not have any ideas in offensive tactics as the media said. In fact, he was also adapting to the Premier League environment.
Whether in La Liga or Serie A, the tactical aspects need to be done in more detail. Although the Bundesliga does not seem to have high technical content, Bundesliga teams generally attack at a slow speed, and tactics can also play a big role. What about the Premier League? ? Fast running and strong confrontation are the theme of the Premier League. It is not easy to play tactics in the Premier League. It took Ferguson so many years to make Manchester United's off-the-ball movement excellent. Mourinho Chelsea also gave up using tactics to fight, and instead formed a steel army to increase their strength to the extreme. This is the way to survive in the Premier League.
It¡¯s not that Dick doesn¡¯t know this truth, so the people he buys are basically strong people with excellent physical fitness. At the same time, he hasn¡¯t given up on the idea of ????playing more delicately. Di Natale on the striker Parker in the midfield and Samuel in the defense are important pieces that make Manchester City's play more technical. Samuel organizes the defense, Parker can stabilize the situation through passing, and Di Natale It is through one's own running that one can become a one-hit assassin, but this fusion is not yet ready for success.
So Dick is not worried. He believes that as long as they continue to play slowly, when Manchester City really starts to adapt to this style of play, they will become an alternative in the Premier League and will not be as tough as other teams. It won't be as gorgeous as Arsenal, with a tough and ground-attack style, and it won't be vulnerable to the opponent's running and blocking.
Such a goal is definitely not easy to achieve, but Dick is not in a hurry. There is a season for him to let the team slowly grow.
What needs to be solved now are some smaller problems, such as the mentality of some players.
Among the substitute players, Dick is not worried about the others. It is just that Vassell may be unhappy because he was originally an England international, but he played as a substitute for Manchester City, so that he was not selected for the England national team this time, but Dick did not care about this. , if Vassell dared to cause a conflict, he would dare to put Vassell on the bench. A former England national team striker who is already quite old does not have much value to him. He is not lacking in the main force, but he is even more important as a substitute. If Vassell dares to be more obedient, then go to the reserve team. At worst, Sturridge from the youth team will be transferred to the first team as a substitute. Children are more obedient.
Ireland is not well-known, Young has just joined and is young, Hamann is old and does not have much ambition, Vidal is young, Sun Jihai is relatively honest and professional, and Hart has no success after his failure in La Liga. With such a big ambition, he is very satisfied to be able to play as a substitute. Joel Luka and Cahill are both young and will not have any dissatisfaction as a substitute. David Dunn is loyal to Manchester City and will also not have any dissatisfaction. what is the problem.
The one most prone to problems is Bell.
Bell was considered a unique talent in Wales at the age of sixteen, a talent comparable to Ryan Giggs. After training at Southampton, although he is only seventeen now, he is already quite famous. Last season, Manchester City could Winning him is not only due to the abundant funds, but also to Bell's own thoughts. What he wants now is to compete, not to be a substitute for a wealthy club, but now he is still a substitute, and it is inevitable that he has some mentality problems.
Moreover, he has been playing as a full-back since his debut, and he did not have any preparation for him to play as a winger. You must know that this will also make the players feel that they are not taken seriously and be dissatisfied. In addition, his performance in this game was not very good. Well, it is normal for the young Welshman to be depressed at this time. If you still ignore him at this time, it will be difficult to get him to obey when he becomes extremely dissatisfied.
So taking advantage of this opportunity for the national team training camp, and since Bell did not report to the national team, Dick thought it was a good opportunity to talk to Bell.
After the day's training, Dick said goodbye to all the players, but he did not leave the training base because he knew that one person would not leave so early.
After Bell trains every day, he will practice fifty to one hundred free kicks. This is one of his specialties. In the future, he will be able to play his own role as a winger because of such hard training. In fact, it is similar to Cristiano Ronaldo. Innate potential is not really considered.?Exceptionally good, but they relied on hard training to make up for their weaknesses and found the most correct position. It can be called an inspirational classic.
Cristiano Ronaldo has successfully transformed from a winger who likes to show off his skills to a top attacker, while Bale has transformed from a full-back with potential into a top-level offensive winger. Diligence is important to both of them. It is a necessary catalyst.
As night fell, Bell stopped his training, wiped his sweat and walked off the field, preparing to go home.
Although he was quite depressed during this period, he did not stop his pace of training. Bell knew one thing - at any time, improving one's own strength is the best way.
When he changed clothes and walked out of the locker room, he saw a figure leaning against the wall under the street light and puffing away smoke.
"Who?" Bell asked a little strangely. Generally speaking, there should be no one around at this time
"It's me." The other person threw away the cigarette butt and straightened up.
"Mr. Coach." Bell greeted. Although he felt that Dick didn't seem to pay much attention to him, Bell still had basic courtesy.
"I've been waiting for you for a long timeGareth, I've seen your extra training every day." Dick moved his body: "How about, if you have time, let's go have a meal together, let's have a good time Let¡¯s talk.¡±
"Uh Okay, Mr. Coach." Bell hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He didn't know what Dick wanted to talk to him about. He also saw the media's recent attacks on Dick. At this time, Dick should be He was worried, but looking at him, he didn't seem to care at all.
Seeing that Bell agreed, Dick stopped talking nonsense and walked into the parking lot first, with Bell following behind, and then got into Dick's car.
Dick started the car skillfully and drove directly to a local Chinese restaurant in Manchester - he never thought of working in the Premier League for too long. His dislike of the British weather and food was also a factor. There was seafood when he was in Spain. For rice, at least you can eat sauerkraut and sausage in Germany, and no matter how bad it is in Italy, you can still have pizza to fill your stomach. But in the UK, what can you eat? Fried potatoes, fried potatoes, mashed potatoes¡
Seeing Dick stop the car outside a Chinese restaurant he had never been to, and then skillfully greeted the waiter and found a quiet place to sit down, Bell began to admire this head coach - he could get a Finding good places to eat in new places is also a very good skill
After ordering a few dishes, Dick spoke slowly during the interval between dishes being served.
"Gareth, youremember how you joined Manchester City?"
"We lost the game in the play-offs last season. My agent said that Manchester City wanted me, so I joined Manchester City." Bale answered readily. You must know that he was the main force at Southampton last season and led Southampton to the Champions League. He entered the semi-finals of the Premier League play-offs but lost in the end. At that time, many teams wanted him, including Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham. Manchester City only came from behind, but he finally chose Manchester City because he felt that he could do it in Manchester City. It's a pity to be the main force
¡°I¡¯ll tell you a secret, Manchester City fired me in April last year.¡± Dick laughed: ¡°At that time, I promised them that I would coach Manchester City after the season.¡±
Bell opened his mouth in surprise. He really didn¡¯t know this
"Also, I made a series of requests at that time, one of which was to let Manchester City try to capture you." Dick dropped another bombshell.
Bell was really shocked now. He originally thought that he was the remnant left by his predecessor, but when he saw it, he realized that he was actually his direct descendant!
Telling Bell this kind of thing is to dispel some of Bell's guesses - look, I don't use you now not because you are the person left by the predecessor, but because of other reasons - Dick knows that Bell is not a brainless person. For a player, there are some things that he can do better by thinking about himself than telling him.
Bell had calmed down at this time, and his mind was turning quickly - yes, if Dick had asked to introduce him before, then there is no reason not to value him, and at this time Manchester City also introduced two other people in the summer. This can be explained by a left back. This is not because they don¡¯t want him, but because they want him to play the position of left winger - Manchester City basically has a main player and a substitute in every position, but in the winger position But there are only two people, Ribery and Young. Ribery can play on both wings, and Young is better at playing on the right side. Isn't the left side reserved for himself?
"I started paying attention to you two years ago There is no doubt about your talent, but you need to find the right person."???square. You are not suitable to play as a left back. A top left back must not only attack but also defend very well. At least he cannot become the target of the opponent's key attack. In this regard, you have problems with your positioning and position selection, which cannot be solved through training. On the contrary, in terms of offense, your ability is quite powerful, and speed is your greatest weapon! As long as there is space, you can cause huge damage to the opponent through speed Next, we will give you a new training plan and a new position. You will like this position. "
Bell nodded silently. Now he understood what Dick meant. The left back position was not reserved for him in the first place. He was active on the offensive line, and Dick said he would like this new position. Position, Bell has no doubt about this. Dick's previous results have already shown his vision. He asked Belleron to play at the back and Zanetti to play at left back. There are not many such examples, but they are all classics.
"Okay, the food is here, let's eat." Dick laughed, and then said: "Gareth, don't think too much, keep training hard, I asked you by name, not as a substitute. You are still young, so don¡¯t worry about some playing opportunities, because you still have a long way to go in the future.¡±
