"On the night after the game, on the way back to Genoa, Mr. Gasperini and I chatted all the way." Chen Zhuo said: "Frankly speaking, a team has a first captain, and sometimes the second captain is not until the third captain."
Captain 5, I didn’t know what it meant before, but the coach told me yesterday, and I have a deeper understanding.”
Assistant coach Zeng Weizhong listened to Chen Zhuo's words while translating to Baggio in English. Since the players and staff of the Hong Kong team are all proficient in Chinese and English, Baggio can also speak Italian, English, Portuguese and other languages.
language, so Baggio did not require a special language translator.
"You should have noticed from the beginning when you were in the stands that Milan's style of play is different from what we expected. Ronaldinho is not on the court, and Pirlo is no longer the hub of Milan's entire offense. Compared with what we did last week,
Analysis of the video data seen during the deployment showed that Milan ran more in this game, and the control of the ball was also very emphasized..." From time to time, Chen Zhuo would use the remote control to press pause or rewind to replay, and then ask the players
Explain the details of various running positions.
On Monday, Baggio did not arrange a warm-up match. It was a time for tactical theoretical explanations and discussions. The players, coaching staff and Chen Zhuo reviewed yesterday's game between Genoa and Milan, and reviewed the tactics of both sides and each offensive and defensive performance.
Detailed analysis of running positions.
Hong Kong team players have seldom or even never attended this kind of theoretical training class before. Previous coaches have done most of their training on the court, but Baggio's training is the most unique.
When receiving this kind of theoretical explanation, the players were still very serious, but no one has discussed it with Chen Zhuo yet. Occasionally, one or two players would raise their hands and ask Chen Zhuo to repeat it. There were some things that they did not fully understand.
From Baggio's point of view, it is obviously a luxury to ask the players of the Hong Kong team to have high tactical literacy. It is already very good that they can really remember Chen Zhuo's review!
However, Baggio believes that this training method is a kind of "edification", gradually cultivating their interest in tactics, and then treating the post-game tactical theoretical analysis as a habit, day after day, year after year, to transform their thinking!
Players who develop this habit in the Hong Kong team will gradually pass on and spread this habit, and gradually let those young players who want to be selected for the Hong Kong team start to work hard in this aspect. Over time, the entire Hong Kong
The tactical literacy of the football circle will be improved.

"It's so late, I just finished my work!" When he received Heidi's call, it was already 11:30 in the evening, and Chen Zhuo had just returned to his residence and finished washing up.
"Aren't you the same? You must have just come back not long ago!" Heidi's voice was slightly tired.
"Yes!" Chen Zhuo lay on the bed, stretched out comfortably, and said to Heidi tiredly: "It was originally a day off, with exclusive interviews in the morning, indoor training in the afternoon, and tactical discussions in the evening. It was really busy.
I’m in a daze! What about you, are you in Greece, Athens, based on your text messages?”
"That was in the morning, haha." Heidi smiled bitterly and said, "We are already in Skopje now."
"Si..." Chen Zhuo didn't hear clearly where he was.
"Skopje and Macedonia are also matters of the branch. The recent economic downturn has not affected the affordable supermarkets like us civilians. Alas... the only things that have not been affected so much are luxury goods. Every economic crisis has
Any redistribution of wealth is a shearing of the rich from the poor..." Heidi chatted to Chen Zhuo with emotion.
Chen Zhuo just closed his eyes and listened to Heidi's voice, which still sounded so pleasant. Although Chen Zhuo didn't particularly understand what Heidi was talking about about wealth redistribution and shearing, he could roughly understand the meaning.
"Patton? Are you asleep?" Heidi asked.
Chen Zhuo said: "No, listen to what you say, I'm not particularly good at answering, so I can only listen like this."
"Haha, I'm just minding my own chatter. I haven't asked you yet, how are you doing lately? You're fine, right?" Heidi asked.
"It's pretty good. Did you watch yesterday's game?" Chen Zhuo asked.
"Look, was that last kick of yours intentional or unintentional?" Heidi asked with a smile.
Chen Zhuo laughed and said: "That kick, actually I asked Garson..."
After just chatting endlessly, Heidi finally thought of the "news" that Chen Zhuo said, and asked Chen Zhuo which news it was. There was too much news about Chen Zhuo, and there was also a lot of news about Heidi and his company.
Heidi really didn't know which one Chen Zhuo was talking about.
"Oh? Is there such a theory?" Heidi was also stunned. It was obvious that she did not know about this matter, but Heidi did not rule out that family members were involved in the planning of this matter.
After chatting for more than an hour, the call was terminated when Heidi's cell phone battery ran low. This time the two of them seemed to be much more natural. Heidi did not deliberately avoid it as she did when they first separated, but both of them avoided asking about the current situation of both parties.
Although both parties know that the other party actually wants to know more about family and emotional matters.

"Team a, goalkeeper Liang Xingjie, team b, Ye Honghui!"
In the intra-team competition that Chen Zhuo participated in on Tuesday morning, Baggio asked Chen Zhuo to announce the group list and also let him get more familiar with his teammates.
Both goalkeepers are starting goalkeepers in the Hong Kong Professional League. Liang Xingjie plays for Four Seas Wanderers, and Yip Honghui plays for Hong Kong's local giant Nanhua Team.
Liang Xingjie was born in 1989 and Ye Honghui was born in 1990. Both players are 1.80 meters tall.
The height of 1.80 meters is indeed too short for a goalkeeper, but among the players of the right age, Jiezai, who was born in 1989, is outstanding in his goal-line skills and timing of attacks. He is very similar to Ou Chuliang of the former Chinese football team.
similar.
Ye Honghui is good at saving penalty kicks. At the 2009 East Asian Games, when the Hong Kong team eliminated North Korea on penalty kicks in the semi-finals, Ye Honghui saved a penalty kick. In the penalty shootout in the final, Ye Honghui saved Japan again.
The team's penalty kick helped the Hong Kong team win the Gold Cup for the first time in history. After this game, Ye Honghui was also called "Hero Fai" by his teammates.
"Team A defenders, Chen Zhuo, Xie Jiaqiang, Gason..."
Baggio still arranged the 3-5-1-1 formation introduced by Chen Zhuo when he was in Hong Kong. Now he also adopted Chen Zhuo's suggestion and arranged two sweeping markers between the sweeper and the double midfielder.
He tries to build this defensive system to strengthen the Hong Kong team's defense.
The purpose of arranging Chen Zhuo to play as a deep-lying central defender is to allow Chen Zhuo to demonstrate to the players of the Hong Kong team, so that they can observe Chen Zhuo's running, filling in, and calling to integrate the command and defense line when playing as a deep-lying central defender.
Letting Gasson start marking the central defender is what Baggio asked the Hong Kong players to observe and learn from closely. In the truly finalized lineup, Gasson is not actually in this position.
Among the two marking central defenders, the other is Manchester City reserve team player Xie Jiaqiang who has been training together for a short time. Xie Jiaqiang, who is half British, is obviously much stronger than the Asian players. He is 1.85 meters tall and 77 kilograms in weight.
With training experience, Xie Jiaqiang is also a very good choice in Baggio's "three central defenders" strategy.
Although Xie Jiaqiang played as a man-marking central defender at Manchester City, Baggio still asked him to focus on observing and learning from Chen Zhuo. Now Baggio also wants to observe and see if Xie Jiaqiang is capable of being a sweeper.
Apart from Chen Zhuo and Gasson, there are only two European players participating in the joint training of the Hong Kong team this week. Lin Zhijian from the Hamburg reserve team, Xie Jiaqiang from the Manchester City reserve team, Yong Aping from Heerenveen in the Dutch Eredivisie and 1860 Munich from the German Bundesliga.
Bobby Wood was not allowed to take leave from the club this week. Next week is the European national team match day, and they will not be able to participate in joint training until next week.
After all, Lin Zhijian and Xie Jiaqiang are only reserve team players. There is still a gap between them and the first-team players in terms of skills and tactical understanding. Their level is not particularly advantageous compared to local Hong Kong players. However, in terms of physical fitness, Lin Zhijian and Xie Jiaqiang are indeed better than Hong Kong players.
It's a lot better.

Team B Baggio also arranged a back three, which was also two sweeping marking center backs and a deep-lying center back.
I'm afraid that the starting deep-lying central defender in the B team is called Su Weiquan. This Tianshui Wai Pegasus player and Xie Jiaqiang will choose a starting deep-lying central defender for the Hong Kong team. Baggio does not want to put Chen Zhuo in this position.
.
Of course, the best candidate in Baggio's mind is Heerenveen's Rong Aping, but Rong Aping still has the possibility of being selected for the Dutch adult team. If Rong Aping is drafted into the Dutch team's European qualifiers next week,
Then Rong Aping would give up the opportunity to join the Hong Kong team. For a football player, this is understandable.
Su Weiquan, who was born in 1988, is 1.82 meters tall, the same height as Chen Zhuo, but much thinner in weight, only 67 kilograms. Currently, Su Weiquan is strengthening his muscles at Baggio's request. According to Baggio's request, Su Weiquan should
According to the plan, he will gradually increase his weight to about 75 kilograms. Such a body shape will make Su Weiquan more powerful in the sweeper position.
One of the man-marking central defenders of team B is Zhai Tingfeng, who is only 1.75 meters tall. Zhai Tingfeng had not even participated in the 2009 East Asian Games. This was Baggio's "discovery" during training.
Zhai Junfeng is a player of the Sihai Wanderers. He can play as both full-backs on the left and right sides of the team. He is active and fierce in defense and is also very powerful in assisting from the wing. He is one of the "unstoppable" players in the Hong Kong team who has good physical fitness.
He did not participate in the 2009 East Asian Games because he was injured in the league.
Although he was slightly short in height, when trying the "sweeping" man-marking center back tactic, Baggio still left one of the two starting man-marking center backs to Zhai Tingfeng. Here, Gasson and Xie Jiaqiang were on the A team.
The purpose of letting Zhai Tingfeng join Team B is to let him watch and figure out more ideas from Garson and Xie Jiaqiang.
Another man-marking central defender, Xia Zhiming, is Zhai Tingfeng's wandering teammate. Although Xia Zhiming, who is 1.81 meters tall, has better height and weight than Zhai Tingfeng, his fierceness needs to be strengthened. He was also specially trained by Baggio.
One of the players in the training program for the surname.
In addition to the starting lineup of the two teams, Zeng Jintao, who is 1.75 meters tall, and Bai Rongze, who is 1.68 meters tall, who are sitting on the bench, are both skilled in skills but poor in physical fitness and not good at confrontation. They were both arranged by Chen Zhuo to perform basic tasks.
strengthen.
The reason why the Hong Kong team members are brought to Europe for a month is because in Hong Kong, these players will have to participate in club competitions. They will not have the time and energy to do the many targeted basic training arranged by Baggio.
Although Baggio has formulated a "quick-start" physical training plan, it must at least include systematic scientific training. That's why this European training session was held.
This kind of training also included joint training with players from the European League, and it also took care of the time of Chen Zhuo and Gason, killing two birds with one stone.

Team A has two defensive midfielders: Lin Zhijian from the Hamburg reserve team, and Xu Deshuai, a 23-year-old who is 1.79 meters tall and plays for Hong Kong Nanhua.
Xu Deshuai can also be regarded as an immigrant player. Xu Deshuai, who was born in the Dalian Shide Youth Training Camp, was Dalian Shide's substitute midfielder in the 2004 and 2005 seasons. Later, he moved to the Hong Kong Professional League to play. In the 2009 East Asian Games, he won 4:1.
In the victory over South Korea, one of the goals was scored by Xu Deshuai.
The attacking midfielder is also an immigrant player from Dalian Shide Youth Training Camp, Ju Yingzhi.
The two wing-backs on the left and right of team A are Guo Jianbang who is 1.69 meters tall and Ouyang Yaochong who is 1.73 meters tall. They are two players who went to Tottenham Hotspur for trial training but were not selected due to their thin bodies. Currently, they are two
Also at Baggio's request, physical fitness and muscle training were strengthened through systematic training and nutritional improvements.
The two forwards of Team A are both over-age players. Center forward Chen Zhaoqi is the most popular candidate for Footballer of the Year. Shadow forward William Li is the Hong Kong Footballer of the Year in 2009. If nothing else, they are the three over-age players in the Asian Games.
and Chen Zhuo.
According to Baggio's plan, if the Netherlands' Rong Aping can be finalized, plus Lin Zhijian and Xie Jiaqiang, who have confirmed their return and have begun the recruitment and registration process, together with Chen Zhuo and Gasson, there will be five players.
After joining, the Hong Kong team's tactical puzzle in the Asian Games and Asian Cup basically already has quasi-first-class strength!
Among the strong teams in Asia, Japan and South Korea do not pay attention to the Asian Games. The Asian Cup also depends on the host place. Basically in Asia, whether the Asian Cup is held in an East Asian country or a West Asian country basically determines the championship.
direction.
For the four teams representing the "first group" in Asia, namely Japan and South Korea in East Asia and Iran and Saudi Arabia in West Asia, the Hong Kong team's comprehensive strength is not yet strong enough to compete with them. However, if the tactics are used properly, they can win the Asian Games and even the Asian Cup.
The top four cannot be said to have no hope at all!
In Baggio's view, the current level of Hong Kong football is at a very low level. Whether it is a league or a regional team, although they wear professional attire, their technical and tactical levels are amateur-level. The Hong Kong League A and Italy or Germany
The level of the C-League is about the same.
However, it is precisely because of the low level that the room for improvement is large enough and the progress is sufficient! Although it is unbelievable to say this, it is just like the Japanese women's volleyball team and the Chinese women's volleyball team have dominated the world volleyball world. Before they did it, another
