The first day of training is mainly to test the players' physical fitness indicators, and then to prepare physical fitness based on the players' physical condition to lay a good foundation for the new season.

As the training was about to end, Situ Yunbing called De Gea in front of him.

De Gea looks calm. The difficulty of the 18-year-old young goalkeeper not integrating into Monaco is mainly because Monaco has many young players and the locker room is not complicated.

Situ Yunbing asked him calmly: "How do you feel?"

There is a translator next to him to help him translate.

De Gea smiled like a new student, satisfied with the new environment.

"Very good, everyone here is very friendly, I haven't had any difficulties yet."

Situ Yunbing shook his head after hearing what the translator said.

His face became serious and he said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry to break your wonderful mood and fantasy. Everyone here looks friendly, including fans who cheer us out there, but I think you're too relaxed and you haven't fully realized what's coming.

You will be the No. 1 goalkeeper in Monaco. If you perform poorly in the first game, whether it is the media or the fans, you will use your youth as a reason to watch your next performance. After all, you are indeed the most outstanding goalkeeper in the younger generation of Spain.

But if you do not perform well in the second game, people will be much more cautious when viewing your future in Monaco. At best, you will say that it will take time to integrate into the team and adapt to French football, etc.

But if you still can't perform convincingly in the third consecutive game, sorry, the media will immediately launch a storm of you. Of course, these criticisms will point to me, accusing me of putting you in such a position of pressure, and why don't you cultivate you step by step?

Those inside the team who you think are friendly will also come to me privately, hoping that I will re-activate Rufiel. Everyone is not targeting you, but just don’t want the team’s efforts to be ruined by you. What can I do? I am the head coach, I gave you a chance, but you are not sure, how can I give you another chance?

The goalkeeper often has much fewer opportunities than the players in other positions, and the probability of appearance is also very low!

If you can, you will sit firmly in this position and be unshakable. If you can't do it once, do you want to do it again? Sorry, others won't give it to you.

If there is no major turmoil in Monaco, we will have a decisive battle in the final stage of the second half of the season, but De Gea, your decisive battle has now entered the countdown stage!

In the French Super Cup, the first three rounds of the league, this is your final battle. If you stand firm, you will be Monaco's No. 1 goalkeeper. If you fail to stand firm, your chances will disappear in the short term.

Can you understand?"

After listening to the detailed retelling of the translation, De Gea closed his smile and he nodded seriously after a while.

Maybe it is to digest the content of Situ Yunbing’s speech.

Situ Yunbing then said to him: "What you need to improve in the short term is to save long shots, which is your current weakness in ability."

In fact, the role of goalkeeper is often most famous when he is young, such as Buffon, Casillas, Neuer in the past, Donnarumma, Courtois, Lion King Ter Stegen, and De Gea, all of whom became famous at a young age. They were at the top of the board at a young age and became one of the best goalkeepers in Europe who dare not say they are ranked at the top, but they are also one of the excellent goalkeepers who have a pair of hands.

Because a real good goalkeeper seems not to be trained, and his natural sensitivity and predictive position selection are traits that are quickly displayed in his talent.

But it does not mean that players at any position need experience and have their own shortcomings.

De Gea's shortcomings are obvious, which is the lack of ability to save long shots.

This has always been criticized by the media after he transferred to Manchester United in history.

Therefore, Situ Yunbing now strengthens De Gea's ability to save long shots and saves, and the sooner the better.

Perhaps De Gea himself doesn't feel it now, nor does he realize that he has such shortcomings, and the coach has no way to judge, because the save in training is very different from the situation encountered in the real game!

There are too many uncontrollable factors and too many complex and accidental factors in the game.

Since it was asked by Situ Yunbing personally, De Gea certainly had no objection.

Situ Yunbing called Suarez, Falcao, Nimani, Perez, Matic, and Gareth Bale, and said to them: "I need you to strengthen long-range shooting training, who is willing to practice extra?"

Gareth Bale was the first to raise his hand to express his willingness to practice more!

Other players later expressed their willingness.

Situ Yunbing nodded and said, "Okay, don't leave after the training is over, come with me."

Before the training ended, Situ Yunbing did not give a lecture, but simply notified everyone that the training ended.

Then he took Gareth Bale and the others toward the youth team.

Although other players such as Morro, Benatia, Vertonheng, Mendy did not call them, they heard that the head coach personally arranged additional training and they all participated enthusiastically.

Monaco still has reserve teams last season, but it is completely gone this season.

Originally, if the reserve team had enough players, they would sign up for the reserve league. If the number was not enough, they would not sign up. In the past, Monaco's first-team lineup was crowded, and with more than 30 people, half or even more people would not be able to enter the roster. Those players who could not enter the roster would play in the reserve league and stay in shape.

This season, Monaco's reserve team is insufficient, so players who cannot make the roster on the first team can play as over-age players. Although the quality is not as good as the reserve team, it is at least better than there is no game to play.

The reserve team's field was used by the youth team. Situ Yunbing brought a large number of players here and scared the youth team's players and coaches. He didn't know what the first team members were going to do.

Situ Yunbing requisitioned the field that originally belonged to the reserve team, and then asked De Gea to guard the goal.

Other players who practice long shots are distributed in a fan shape in various directions and positions in the penalty area about 25 yards away from the goal. At one time, six players stand in their respective positions and plan to prepare for a long shot. Some are farther away.

Situ Yunbing told them that he would discuss the order of shooting when practicing free throws and would not tell De Gea. Then they could immediately conduct the next round of long-range training after De Gea completed the save and made a new round of preparations.

For De Gea, there are so many players in front of him who want to shoot, but he doesn't know who will shoot, which will also exercise his reaction ability. Moreover, the shooting styles of different players are different, and the football flew from different directions further strengthens the difficulty of his save.

When the players started to practice normally, Situ Yunbing left. Since they were practicing more, they depended entirely on the players' awareness and there was no need to supervise. After all, this is for their own benefit, not Situ Yunbing seeks personal gain.

Before leaving, Situ Yunbing chatted with the head coach of the youth team, asking him to start sprinkling water near the penalty area of ​​this field tomorrow, so that the small penalty area in front of the goal will become wet and slippery within 20 yards from the goal. In this way, if someone shoots a low-bounce earth from a long shot, the football will rub against the slippery grass and change the speed, further increasing the difficulty of the goalkeeper saving!

When Situ Yunbing left, the scene behind him was quite spectacular, just like De Gea was besieged by Monaco generals. There would be a shot in less than 20 seconds, either a powerful shot or a clever shot at the goal. De Gea was so busy that he was so busy that he was dizzy!

......

In the following days, Situ Yunbing kept talking to new players. He was the same as before. He would watch the player’s game video of the past season, then summarize the player’s advantages or disadvantages in the game, and then come to the player with a thick stack of printed documents. While saying that, he used the game video screenshots to superimpose his notes to remind the players of what to improve in the future.

Suarez, who was a little wild and difficult to tame at heart, was shocked by Situ Yunbing's diligent and pragmatic work attitude!

You should know that this workload is very heavy, but Situ Yunbing can still find out the mistakes the players make frequently in the game like looking for a needle in a haystack, and use screenshots during the game to quote them, so that the players have no luck.

If some players come to Monaco to pay attention to Monaco's Champions League in the new season, and Situ Yunbing also promised enough playing time to make them come here, then after a short period of time, they were completely impressed by Situ Yunbing's professionalism!

Although it seems that Situ Yunbing used a stupid method, it is enough to show his spiritual charm.

The players were convinced by him and understood that Monaco's success and Situ Yunbing's success were not caused by luck.

Monaco's preparations for the new season are in an orderly manner, and the players are ready to wait for the arrival of the new season.

At the end of July, Monaco played three friendly matches, but the result was not important. Three different lineups were available in three games, and all first-team players had playing time. Suarez and Falcao were the best performers, and their technical abilities were in place.

The French media were just surprised to find that in three warm-up matches, Morro played as the left back when he played!

But the unlucky guy Gareth Bell, who bought from the UK, stood in front of Morrow.

Gareth Bale's performance was a bit dull. As the left winger, he made him take off most of his defensive tasks and devoted more energy to the attack on the wing. He was more brave and delicate. He always left the team alone on the wing. His teammates couldn't figure out what he was going to do. After breaking through, he should pass it but didn't pass it. When he wanted to pass it, no one responded.

There are both his personal experience and ability factors and his cooperation and tacit understanding.
