Chapter 27 Genius Coach


Chapter 27 Genius Coach

The first upset in 2004!

When the third round of the FA Cup was played, the whole of Britain was in a panic.

All the media are frantically reporting on this game at Stamford Bridge.

No one could believe that a team from League Two could beat Chelsea, a team full of superstars, 2-1 away from home.

The Times even wrote a review of the game, believing that purely from this game, the performance of the Bayswater Chinese was not inferior to that of Chelsea.

“Both sides played a good half game each!”

This authoritative British media believes that the technical and tactical content displayed by the Bayswater Chinese is not that of a British second-division team. What the team should have is a very high tactical level.

“Even facing the powerful Chelsea, the Bayswater Chinese can play skillful passes, and all the players move in a tacit understanding, which makes their game look very smooth.”

The Times believes that what the Bayswater Chinese have shown is a unique technical and tactical style.

Especially the midfield.

"Martin Roland, Luka Modric, Tom Huddlestone."

"Strictly speaking, the Bayswater Chinese midfielder has no traditional midfield ”

“But. It is precisely this group of midfielders with outstanding skills who performed equally well when facing a midfielder composed of superstars such as Makelele, Lampard and Mutu."

"Even. , they played more methodically.”

The man of the match was French winger Franck Ribery.

This scar-faced evil star with a somewhat ferocious appearance also became famous after this game.

Throughout the first half, he single-handedly turned Chelsea's defense, especially Melchiot's side, into a sieve.

The Bayswater Chinese's two goals and all the threatening attacks in the game basically came from Ribery's feet.

The pervasive Sun News quickly dug out the inside story.

Everyone also knew that Ribery was expelled from Lille's youth training. Before coming to Bayswater Chinese, he played in the fourth and third tiers of French leagues.

This is the first time he has shown his skills in front of English fans.

Although it was broadcast live on TV, everyone was amazed by his strength.

The Sun revealed that France national team captain Desailly and Chelsea midfielder Makelele specifically talked to Ribery after the game, and they obviously admired the French winger very much.

But the most surprising thing is another secret revealed by the Guardian.

It turns out that the nominal head coach of the Bayswater Chinese is Brian Kidd, but in fact, the person in charge of the team is the 23-year-old Chinese Yang Cheng.

Moreover, Yang Cheng is the only son of the boss of Bayswater Chinese.

This time, not to mention the UK, the entire European football world was shocked.

The head coach does not have a coaching certificate, so he lets the assistant coach name himself and operates secretly. This kind of thing is not uncommon.

Even for a famous coach like Brian Kidd, it is not surprising.

But the owner of a professional club is the head coach himself, which is unique in the entire European football world!

What is even more shocking is that this boss is only 23 years old!

The most outrageous thing is that this boss led the team to overthrow the star-studded Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and played a technical and tactical style that is admirable!

When all the media and fans saw this news, they all flocked to it.

Yang Cheng and the Bayswater Chinese quickly occupied the pages of major media.

What is a 23-year-old head coach if not a genius?

What surprised Yang Cheng the most was that Brian Kidd revealed in an interview with The Sun that the main reason why he was willing to work as an assistant coach at Bayswater Chinese was because of Yang Cheng .

“We only met once, and I decided to accept it.”

“I was moved by the football he outlined, and he wanted to try a different path.”

“I think he will bring more thinking to English football and let us see more possibilities.”

"I even think that this may be our future!"

If anyone else said this, they would definitely laugh to death.

But the person who said this was Brian Kidd.

Currently the assistant coach of the England national team and the legendary creator of Manchester United's Class of 92.

Brian Kidd is very prestigious in English football. For him to stand up and say this will only make the media and fans pay more attention to Yang Cheng and the Bayswater Chinese.

The most direct change is that in the next home game, the 27th round of the English League Two, they faced Ruthden Diamonds at home. All 5,000 tickets were sold out, and scalpers even started to appear.

......

"Brian, you exposed me with this interview."

In the Bayswater Chinese office, Yang Cheng laughed. Laughing and teasing Brian Kidd.

This is actually a good thing.

At the very least, the media and fans are paying more attention to the Bayswater Chinese.

Looking at Lin Zhongqiu's smiling expression, it is obvious that the ticket sales are very gratifying.

The Bayswater Chinese still have 11 home games in League Two. If every game can be filled, ticket revenue will increase significantly.

By that time, the club’s debt pressure will be further reduced.

More importantly, if you enter the English Championship in the new season, your income will increase a lot.

"I'm just telling the truth." Brian Kidd said with a smile.

“Over the years, we have been searching and groping.”

At the end, the English looked sad.

Yang Cheng nodded, "The Heysel and Hillsborough disasters have had a far greater impact on English football than anyone expected."

"Yes." Brian Key De sighed with mixed feelings.

Football tactics have a long history. Different countries have derived their own unique tactics based on their own characteristics, race, climate and other factors.

Many people talk about England's style of play, always talking about long passes.

This is certainly not wrong, but it is too one-sided.

To put it simply and straightforwardly, the tactical system in continental Europe is more about using the center to drive the wings.

For example, the Italians have a very famous saying: No matter how powerful the winger is, he will eventually have to return to the center to score goals.

Therefore, Italy rarely produces excellent wing players.

England's tactical system uses the wing to drive the center.

This is reflected in the fact that England's two traditional central midfielders basically have no ability to control the ball.

And the specific style of play extended by this tactical system is not to use long passes to make full use of the speed advantage of the wing?

It was this style of play that created the glory of English football and won the World Cup.

Brian Kidd was the top star of English football at its peak.

“But after winning the World Cup, we fell into malaise in the subsequent major competitions, and the cultivation of talents began to fail to keep up.”

“At that time, many people While thinking, we went to various parts of the European continent for inspections. "

"We began to realize the problem. We need to make some changes in the traditional concepts of the past. We need to try to absorb the advantages of the European continent on the basis of tradition. .”

"For example, we need to strengthen the control of the midfield. The traditional midfielders from the penalty area to the penalty area in the past need to make changes. We need to improve the players' ball control ability."

"All of this, in the end, boils down to After coming down, it started a youth training reform. , which created our glory from the late 1970s to the 1980s. "

As an Englishman, even as a direct descendant of Manchester United, when talking about the glory of English clubs in the 1980s, Brian Kidd. There was also a look of pride and pride on his face.

Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Liverpool and other English teams swept across European football, making the entire European football world frightened.

In those years, England's youth training talent also showed a surge.

The number of English players playing abroad also reached its peak in those years.

Although the national team did not achieve very good results, English football was really prosperous in those years.

“But everything came to a sudden halt after the Heysel tragedy!”

“The ban from UEFA completely interrupted English clubs’ The connection between the European continent also completely interrupted the good development momentum of English football."

"The subsequent Hillsborough tragedy made everything worse."


"The invincible Liverpool dynasty has completely fallen apart. The best teams in English football are unable to participate in the European war. All teams are behind closed doors and amusing themselves."

"Behind closed doors, no longer Coupled with the dismal performance of the league, our youth training and tactics have begun to return to tradition.”

Gerrard, Lampard and others are the products of this period of youth training.

And they are already the best among this group of people.

But from them, it can be seen that England's youth training is going back.

What about before that?

They have produced many talented and technically outstanding geniuses, such as Gascoigne.

Many people ridicule the British media for hyping up geniuses, but is this not a kind of nostalgia for past glory?

“While we were working behind closed doors, the European continent gave birth to an epoch-making great team.”

“Sacchi and his Milan dynasty brought about a modern football history ”

"And we, the whole of England, missed this revolution."

"When we returned to Europe a few years later, we were disappointed to find that from our youth training to our techniques and tactics The concept has completely lagged behind the European continent, and it has been more than one generation.”

Yang Cheng can actually understand Brian Kidd’s mood.

Because Kidd was once the top star in England and even the world's football.

“We have all been working hard over the past few years. Ferguson seems arrogant, but in fact, he is a very far-sighted person who is also very open-minded to learn. The premise is that you let him Be convinced and prove that you are indeed stronger than him.”

"Wenger is here, Houllier is here, Ranieri and Eriksen are also here. They all bring the most advanced tactical concepts and club management methods on the European continent."

"They allow us to further see the all-round gap between ourselves and the European continent, from youth training to training to technical tactics to club management... but they also let us see "

Yang Cheng felt that the atmosphere was a little solemn, and immediately chuckled, "Don't be so pessimistic, Brian, at least, in the past few years, you have given birth to the Premier League. This is a very huge gain.”

Compared with leagues such as Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga, the birth of the Premier League is indeed of great significance.

Brian Kidd smiled bitterly.

"But you have also seen that every club is now in operating difficulties, heavily in debt, and mortgaging the stars of the team. In this case, who else can invest in youth training?"

" Let’s not talk about youth training, let’s talk about training grounds. Go and take a look. Among the 20 Premier League teams, apart from Manchester United and Arsenal, how many clubs’ training grounds are passable?”

Bu What Ryan Kidd said is indeed true.

For example, Chelsea, their training ground is just outside Heathrow Airport. It is dilapidated, old and outdated.

Tottenham Hotspur’s training ground is also very bad.

This is still a strong team in the Premier League.

What about the other teams?

So, the Premier League now welcomes foreign investment.

Because they know very well that without the injection of foreign capital, the Premier League and even English football will be a backwater.

"Everything will be fine, Brian." Yang Cheng comforted.

With the influx of foreign capital, the rise of the Premier League has become inevitable.

Yang Cheng must seize this opportunity and let the Bayswater Chinese take advantage of the momentum and become the best and top wealthy family in the UK, Europe, and even the world!

I beg you to collect it! I beg for all kinds of votes! ! Thank you! !
