When Zhang Sheng recruited the system girl and happily submitted the task, the system girl gave Zhang Sheng a rare compliment: "Not bad, you completed the task ahead of schedule. Isn't it a great sense of accomplishment?"
Zhang Sheng also said with a smile: "Of course, it's worth being happy to be able to win the bet with you and train a qualified player completely on my own. How about it? Beauty, can you give me a little extra for completing the task ahead of schedule?
The reward is just a high-level potential pill and a high-level player growth charm, isn’t it too stingy?”
"Haha!" This was the response given by the system girl.
"Haha, what do you mean?" Zhang Sheng's face was full of black lines, "I relied on my own strength to complete the task ahead of schedule, so I have to show it."
"My own power? If I don't hehe, who are you?" The system girl said with disdain, "It's not the system viewing ability I provided you, but the excellent youth training coach I summoned for you. Do you think you can do it alone?
Is it so easy to complete the task? The reason why you can complete it ahead of schedule is because you use all the summoning points to summon coaches instead of players. This greatly increases the level of youth training in your football school and makes it possible to complete the task ahead of schedule. Leaders like those
Would it be so easy to find a coach with advanced European training concepts and methods without my help?"
When facing system girls, Zhang Sheng keenly felt that the training methods brought back by the two young coaches from Europe last time should be very advanced and effective. This simply pointed out a clear way for Zhang Sheng. Can he learn from the system?
Getting this kind of information from the girl's mouth is far more exciting than getting an item. You must know that training concepts and training methods can be fully promoted. This is a big contribution to improving the level of youth training in football schools.
of assistance.
Zhang Sheng was too lazy to waste time with the system girl. After getting his reward items, he said goodbye to the system girl and hurriedly went to find Heike Fogel. Business was more important.
Seeing Zhang Sheng leaving in a hurry, the system girl said with a puzzled face: "Did I accidentally reveal some secret again?"
Zhang Sheng found Heike and Fogel and asked directly: "Have you paid attention to the work of Min Haowen and Shen Shaojun?"
Heike Fogel said: "Oh! The two of them, they often come to me to promote their so-called 4V4 training method. I know that this training method is very popular in Europe, especially in
Training for the youth stage is very hot, but I am still going to observe the training results of the two of them first. If a set of training methods does not have definite results, I will not implement them."
Then Heike Fogel asked Zhang Sheng with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Are they two looking for you?"
Seeing Heike Fogel's expression, Zhang Sheng said quickly: "No, no, it's just that I saw Wang Xing performed very well in the Asian Junior Championships, and he was in their special training group
Participating in training, I think it is necessary to pay attention to it."
Zhang Sheng also knows the reason for Heike Fogel’s dissatisfaction. If the staff directly bypasses the management and comes to the boss, no matter they are Chinese or foreigners, they will be unhappy. Zhang Sheng certainly does not want Heike Fogel to be unhappy.
Two outstanding youth training coaches, Min Haowen and Shen Shaojun, were dissatisfied.
After hearing Zhang Sheng's explanation, Heiko Fogel nodded and said: "Well, if that's the case, what do you think should be done? A single player's performance is very good, so it doesn't seem to explain the problem.
, unless a large area of players improves to prove it."
Zhang Sheng did not bother with such an issue with Heike Fogel, but asked directly: "Do you have any detailed information about their 4V4 training?"
Heike Fogel quickly called up some detailed information on 4V4 training and gave it to Zhang Sheng, and Zhang Sheng checked it carefully in his office.
4V4 is not a new concept. The Dutch have been training in this way since the mid-1980s. The godfather of Dutch football, the great coach Michels, said: "A good coach will adopt the method of street football."
To develop grassroots football based on basic standards, they will realize that this method can give children the most efficient training process."
And Michels accurately predicted some of the shortcomings of modern football, which is that it is too formulaic and too rigid.
In fact, Zhang Sheng also lamented these things. When Zhang Sheng, who was transported before, was still leading the youth team in Germany, he experienced what scientific football, professional football, all technical movements, and all daily training are broken down.
It has become a standard step after step, but some of the corresponding players' unique personal talents have been ignored or even obliterated.
Zhang Sheng, who traveled back in time, heard professionals talk about this issue more than once in subsequent large-scale competitions. For example, during the 2016 European Cup, Huang Jianxiang and Liu Jianhong mentioned this issue on a chat show.
Huang Jianxiang said at the time: "Before, we divided football styles into Western European style, Southern European style, Eastern European style, Nordic style and British style, but from this session of Europe, we only saw one style - European style.
In the past, we didn’t need to look at the name of a football player. We could roughly tell whether the player was an Italian or a British player from his playing habits on the field and even his running posture. But now everyone plays with the same posture and posture.
Action, football is developing, and everyone is seeking common ground while reserving differences, pursuing the most efficient and practical style of play. This is normal. Unfortunately, it is difficult for us to see those flashes of inspiration or unexpected technical moves on the court, because today's professional football players
They were scouted at the age of 9 or even younger and then taken to professional football teams for professional training. There are fewer and fewer players who have been playing football on the street."
The 4V4 football training concept is precisely to make up for this shortcoming.
The idea is to create a more child- and player-centered playing environment. In this environment, young players can learn, practice and improve football skills without being bound by fixed formats, without being overly expected by others, and not only
Attention and limited imitation of observations of others.
The football environments that best provide these qualities include playgrounds, parks, streets, alleys, beaches and slums around the world - where many of the world's greatest players first learned to play.
The 4V4 training method was chosen because it gives players more opportunities to practice and develop game-related skills in a less stressful but challenging game environment. The environment creation concept of the pilot program is to create a more child-oriented environment.
Centered ethical learning environment.
In Zhang Sheng’s impression, whether it was Zhang Sheng in this life or Zhang Sheng in the past, when they were young, they played football in alleys, on the basketball court of their workplace, or on a rare low-lying and uneven area next to a certain accommodation area.
He started his football enlightenment on the grass or even in an open space on the side of the road.
Two bricks or a few pieces of clothing thrown on the ground can become a goal. The uneven ground and crooked field can really train a child's ability to handle the ball under extreme conditions.
Therefore, 4V4 simulates a lot of the characteristics of street football, and specially sets up many games with four goals, games with goalkeepers and without goalkeepers, and even games with goals set in corners.
Each game is 8 minutes long and it is important to let the children decide the game themselves. This allows them to learn to take responsibility, communicate with opponents and solve problems, and helps them develop social skills. The coach only needs to sit back and encourage
They. This will also give children more opportunities to express their ideas, solve problems and think independently.
And judging from the information provided by Heiko Fogel, compared with the 8V8 game format, the 4V4 game has more passes, shots, goals, 1V1 one-on-one situations, dribbling skills (
Improvement in the use of techniques such as fake movements).
Children are more flexible in their use of skills when playing 4V4 games. Different game forms also promote different technical performances. In the game, it is not obvious who is the offensive player and who is the defensive player, which helps children become a more comprehensive player.
players.
After reading the information, Zhang Sheng made his own decision: "Haike, how about we try to have a game between the players led by Min Haowen and Shen Shaojun and the players under the current training method. Only in the actual game,
Only then can we see the difference. If the young players do not make much improvement, we will consider this issue in the long term."
Faced with Zhang Sheng's insistence on paying more attention to 4V4 training, Heike Fogel had to agree. After all, it was his boss's request, and it was in a negotiation tone. He couldn't offend his boss's face too much.
Soon Heike Fogel called Min Haowen and Shen Shaojun, and a game to determine the path of children's football training at Longteng Football School began.
Min Haowen and Shen Shaojun were also very excited after receiving the news. They knew that this game would determine whether their training concepts would be taken seriously. However, before the young players he led took the field, Min Haowen did not give this group
There is too much pressure on children around 9 years old, but they are encouraged: "Just like what we usually train, go up and enjoy and perform."
After the game started, the young players on both sides seemed very embarrassed. After all, there were so many adults watching them play. However, as the game progressed, the children who were involved in the game slowly relaxed.
At this time, the children trained by Min Haowen and Shen Shaojun showed more advantages. They were better than their opponents in the use of technology, the cooperation between players, and even their understanding of the field. Among many players
Small coordination often occurs, and many times they can use some actions other than standard techniques to solve problems (of course, this does not refer to foul actions).
And Heiko Fogel, who had been watching from the sidelines, changed from a nonchalant look at the beginning of the game to observing the game with all his concentration.
The game was over soon. Although the game was very short, only 60 minutes, with 30 minutes each for the first and second halves, the score difference was not big. The team using 4V4 training defeated the opponent 4:3, but no matter it was
Both Zhang Sheng and Heike Fogel saw something different displayed by the 4V4 training method.
After the game, Shen Shaojun began to praise his young players one by one, while Min Haowen encouraged the young players on the losing side to keep working hard next time.
After the post-game work was completed, facing the expectant looks of Min Haowen and Shen Shaojun after the game, Heike Fogel gave them affirmation: "There is indeed a lot to be recognized in your training methods. Let's go and have a training session together."
Yes."
Min Haowen, who has a more outgoing personality, couldn't help but happily celebrated with a fist pump, knowing that there would be better news waiting for him next.
In the small conference room of Longteng Football School, Heike Fogel asked Min Haowen in detail about some technical details of 4V4 training, and finally concluded: "This training method does have its own uniqueness, but from my perspective
From my understanding, it is more suitable for young players aged 9 or below to participate, what do you think?"
Min Haowen nodded affirmatively and said: "It is true. This training method is tailor-made for children who have just started to contact football. Its purpose is the same as the purpose of cultivating children's football hobby. It is to let children
We play for love and victory, not for fear of failure.”
Shen Shaojun also took over and said: "It is no longer possible for children to play football by themselves. Coaches and parents have taken on the responsibility of guiding their children. The competition introduced by adults means that teenagers no longer have the opportunity to truly fall in love with football, or to play football for themselves.
Continuously improve football skills through interest.”
Min Haowen made the final conclusion: "If 4V4 can be used more widely, we can cultivate a generation of players who are creative, not afraid to solve problems independently, and truly enjoy the game. This will have a greater impact on grassroots football.
meaning.”
Zhang Sheng also nodded affirmatively and said: "I think it's good too. Next, we will formulate a series of plans to promote this training model. Just wait for this good news."
Shen Shaojun and Min Haowen, who had been in the club for a while and knew that Zhang Sheng had a resolute and resolute personality, knew that they would soon have the opportunity to perform vigorously. They nodded excitedly, said goodbye and left the meeting room happily.
Zhang Sheng began to discuss with Heike Fogel how to carry out such promotion activities. After all, there was an overall plan for the operation of the football school, and the training method, which is the top priority, cannot be changed with just one order.
