With Gao Shen's current status in the world, if he appears on any team, he will definitely become the headlines of major media the next day, and many media will even start to speculate on his whereabouts.
Only Leeds United was the only place where he could watch Leeds United's games openly.
Even, go to the AXA Center to watch Leeds United training.
After Leeds United narrowly defeated Manchester City at Wembley Stadium, they won the Community Shield, which was a good start to the new season. However, this game actually exposed many problems, especially in the team's midfield.
Gao Shen came very suddenly without notifying anyone in advance.
When he appeared at AXA Center holding Gao Ming's little hand, everyone was very surprised.
And he is still wearing casual sportswear.
The Leeds United players were even more surprised, especially when Gao Shen stopped on the sidelines, clearly separated by a barbed wire fence. The players in the stadium were immediately distracted. The training was also full of mistakes. How well was Pochettino training him?
Embarrassed.
This is the charm of a top marshal!
Gao Shen enjoyed watching it. When he heard Pochettino's lecture, he even shouted, "This proves that your training intensity is not enough, so they are distracted."
For a moment, the Leeds United players were almost crying.
Isn’t Pochettino’s training volume enough?
Ask around the world, who doesn't know that Pochettino is a training fiend?
Oh, by the way, I forgot, Pochettino learned it from Gao Shen.
So if Pochettino is a training fiend, what is sophistication?
The players burst into tears.
This is the boss, we can’t afford to offend him!
In fact, Gao Shen and Pochettino disagree on many things.
For example, the same high-intensity training, advanced training is more about ball training, and Pochettino actually has a lot of physical training, so his team is very good at running and high-position pressing.
Just imagine, even a technical young player like Bernardo Silva has been turned into an immortal midfielder. You can imagine Pochettino's physical training.
There is also Bruno Fernandez. The reason why he wasted a lot in the early stages of his career was because his skills were not good enough and his physical fitness was weak. But later he found a different path on his own.
But at Leeds United, under Pochettino's "abuse", not only his running ability improved, but his physical fitness also improved.
Sometimes, the environment is really very transformative.
Bruno Fernandez, who was sculpted by Leeds United, is obviously different from the losers who were trained by Udinese, Benfica and other teams.
Gao Shen also noticed that veteran Jose Fonte was constantly communicating and shouting to his teammates even in training, and the players in the team seemed to respect him very much.
This central defender incubator has really helped Leeds United develop many excellent central defenders.
And Mbappe, when training in groups, he is basically on the left side.
In addition, Pochettino also set up a targeted training specifically for Mbappe to sculpt his left foot.
There is even a training that prohibits Mbappe from using speed to rush and can only rely on dribbling.
This is obviously also an attempt to further polish Mbappe's skills.
There are various contents in the training, and the goals achieved are also different, but with the support and research of the methodology department behind it, Gao Shen believes that the problem is not big.
In Leeds United's original plan to retain Mbappe, further improving and improving his technical characteristics was a very important part, and it also attracted Mbappe.
After all, Leeds United's methodology department is well known for its ability to cultivate and refine players.
…
After the morning training, Gao Shen greeted the players across the barbed wire fence and chatted.
At first they thought Gao Shen was here just to take pictures.
Leeds United launches a series of new jerseys before the start of each season. This year, it is a little late due to the World Cup, but it can still catch up with the league, so I will take pictures at the AXA Center today.
Includes individual photos of players and group photos of the first team.
But Gao Shen didn't know there was such an arrangement, and he didn't come here for that.
Gao Ming, on the other hand, was so happy that he wanted to get the first signature of the player after the new jersey.
God knows when this kid got such a collecting habit?
His room is already filled with many people’s jerseys, and those who didn’t know it thought it was a jersey exhibition hall.
Although he is not the head coach, when Gao Shen comes, he must say a few words.
Gao Shen expressed his satisfaction with the current situation of the team, and at the same time he is full of confidence in the new season and hopes that everyone will continue to work hard.
"As everyone knows, this season's Champions League final will be held at our Amazon Stadium. I hope to see you in the stadium holding the Champions League trophy!"
Gao Shen's encouragement received a positive response from this group of young players.
Obviously, this is not only a high expectation, but also their expectation.
Whether it's for Leeds United or themselves, they need to perform better.
…
"The team's morale is good."
After training, Xiao Gaoming ran to play with the players, while Gao Shen entered the head coach's office with Pochettino.
Pochettino asked Gao to sit down and poured him a glass of water.
"It's good. In fact, we have always been very motivated." Pochettino was also very satisfied.
The team is in good spirits, and he, as the head coach, will be able to take care of it with ease.
The most important thing is because Leeds United is a team with hope.
The weekly salary is a bit low, but the team management is very formal, and the logistics support is not to mention, the best in Europe.
Therefore, it is very worry-free for players to play here.
"After you mentioned it to me last time, in the past few days, I specifically looked for the team's game videos from the past season and watched them. I found that there are still some problems."
When Pochettino heard this, he immediately became serious. He sat over and looked at Gao Shen, "Say."
"Bruno Fernandez still needs to be refined. As you said before, his advantages and disadvantages are very obvious. You think he is more suitable to play as a free man between midfielder and striker. I think we have the same opinion."
This is a bit like Gao Shen's use of Isco, which was to put him between a midfielder and a forward.
But B Fee is different from Isco. What he is better at is the last pass and the finishing touch.
This is the new path he found.
"There were too many mistakes, especially when faced with pressure. I think it is really unacceptable that he made so many mistakes. Whether it is passing in the frontcourt, midfield or backcourt, the success rate is low."
The low here is not relative to all midfielders, but based on Leeds United's standards.
For example, B fee's passing success rate is not high, rarely exceeding 80%.
Maybe many people will feel strange when they see this data, why is it so low?
Yes, he is that low.
In the breakdown of pass success rate, the frontcourt is 71%, which is already the result of improvement. It used to be 68%, or even lower; the midfielder is 84%, which is also the result of improvement.
;The backcourt is 90%.
Since there are more passes in the frontcourt, followed by the midfield and the least in the backcourt, B Fee's overall passing success rate is 78%.
Gao Shen also tried to understand it, and found that the main reason was that he liked to pass the more risky ball.
This kind of ball is often difficult. If it is passed, it is a threat to the opponent. If it is not passed, it is a threat to oneself. Therefore, it is difficult to pass, especially when encountering pressure.
In fact, this is relatively normal, because not all players are perfect.
The key is that he is not too old now and is still at the point where he can be sculpted.
"I have been helping him improve his off-the-ball movement since last season. There has been some progress, but it is still not satisfactory," Pochettino said with a frown.
Gao Shen nodded, "I think he should be calmed down and pressured to allow him to participate more in the game, including controlling the rhythm and transitional passing, and slowing down the speed appropriately."
Pochettino understood what Gao Shen meant.
To put it simply, don't always think about brushing data, always think about sending out threats with one kick, you should calm down and keep your breath.
This is probably also related to B Fei's rough experience in the youth training period, which has caused him to want to express himself a little too much now, which is human nature.
"There is also Bernardo Silva. I personally think it is good if you put him in the right midfield, but it is a bit restrictive." Gao Shen said.
In Pochettino's mind, the midfield playmaker this season is Bernardo Silva.
But after watching the Community Shield, Gao Shen found that Pochettino did not activate the Portuguese midfielder to the maximum extent.
"Increase his contact with the right winger and right back, give him more authority to advance and retreat, and also allow him to cross and change positions with the left midfielder. I think this player is really good!"
No matter in his previous life or now, Gao Shen feels that Seat B is a very, very good midfielder, and very comprehensive. Not only does he have excellent escape ability, but also, under Pochettino's training, he has developed the ability to run without death.
, his passing ability is also very strong, and he can also average 2 dribbles per game.
What else can be said about such a player?
Gao Shen believes that Pochettino used him conservatively.
Players like this should be given more trust and support to maximize their imagination and creativity.
This is another difference between Pochettino and Gao Shen.
He is a central defender and is more cautious by nature, so when using such creative players, he will somewhat, unconsciously and from the bottom of his heart, want to restrain them, which in turn restricts them.
of performance.
Gao Shen felt that players like this should be let go and let them play!
A genius, if he is restrained, can he still be called a genius?
"Let me try."
Pochettino can still listen to the profound words.
"You, you are still a bit conservative at heart. Open up and relax. We are a strong team now!" Gao Shen encouraged with a smile.
A head coach's coaching style comes directly from his character.
Gao Shen now understands the meaning of this sentence more and more deeply, but he still hopes that Pochettino can bravely make some attempts to change himself.
He is now just one transformation away from being one of the top coaches in Europe.
Breakthrough, that’s it!
"Come on, let's start the new season with West Ham United!"
