Chapter 363: The banner of offensive football that cannot be carried!
Ronaldinho failed to add the icing on the cake for Leeds United.
It can be said that apart from not scoring a goal, his other performance was impeccable.
Shen Hao didn't take it to heart.
It didn't take long for the game to end.
Leeds United will smile and enjoy the joy of winning the championship.
"Congratulations to Leeds United for winning the 2008 UEFA Super Cup and defeating Europa League champions Zenit St. Petersburg with a complete victory to declare their dominance as European hegemons!"
"Following the EFL Cup, FA Cup, Premier League, Champions League and Community Shield, Leeds United won the sixth championship trophy in 2008. There is still one championship trophy left for Leeds United to compete for this year, and that is the Club World Cup at the end of the year. cup!"
"If we can win the Club World Cup, Leeds United will be crowned an unprecedented seven champions!"
Shen Hao shook hands with the opponent's coach after the game, and then entered the field to celebrate the victory with the players.
Ronaldinho took the initiative to run over, put his arm around Shen Hao's shoulders, and asked with a smile: "BOSS, how was my performance?"
Shen Hao looked at him with strange eyes.
I always feel that this man who is the same age as me, but actually more than 3 months older than me, seems to be begging for praise from me like a child.
He said casually: "You should know very well that you used to be much better than you are today."
Ronaldinho suddenly looked depressed.
"I can't do it after I get hurt."
"No, it started when you spent more time in nightclubs than at the training ground."
"Don't you go to nightclubs too?"
“How many times a year can I go?”
"Then let's go together next time?"
"Why should I go with you?"
"You and Ronnie both went together."
"He won the bet and I just fulfilled the bet."
"He didn't tell me... Then I'll make a bet with you. What's the bet?"
"Rose Derby, scoring a hat-trick, can you do it?"
"I..."
Ronaldinho stopped just in time.
He's not a full-time shooter.
To be fair, the number of goals scored is not the highest standard for measuring his performance.
"Let me think."
Shen Hao smiled and shook his head.
It seemed that he was despised by Shen Hao.
Ronaldinho immediately said: "I bet, isn't it just to score three goals against Manchester United? What's so great? I can score three for Real Madrid!"
"Manchester United is better than Real Madrid now..."
As soon as Ronaldo came, he stopped and turned around to leave.
The good mood of winning the championship was instantly gone.
Is the Brazilian guy speaking human language?
The majesty you faced against Real Madrid back then was all achieved by stepping on my face!
Shen Hao took the initiative to go away and hugged Deisler and had a cordial conversation.
Obviously he would be happier in front of Deisler.
Deisler doesn't mind at all the constant changes in position and role in the past two years.
Instead, he smiled during the conversation with Shen Hao: "I have become more and more comprehensive at Leeds United."
He is open-minded and willing to cooperate with the team's needs. Of course Shen Hao will keep this in mind.
Championship award ceremony.
The Leeds United players stood on the podium with smiles, enthusiastically holding the cup, laughing and roaring to show the world their glory as the kings of European football!
...
FIFA match day arrives.
Compared to previous years, Shen Hao will have a short vacation to freely arrange his time during this period.
Starting from this season, it is expected that in the next two years, he will be running in the international arena.
Not only will Leeds United fans pay attention to the Leeds Tyrant's coaching of the Dutch national team, Shen Hao's fans will also naturally follow his performance.
Shen Hao came to Amsterdam alone.
As soon as I landed, I was surrounded by Dutch reporters.
"Why is there no Ruud van Nistelrooy in the new squad? Has the national team you lead permanently closed the door on him?"
"Will Robben's move to Real Madrid affect your relationship with the national team?"
"Will you stick to the traditional attacking style of Dutch football?"
Probably the Dutch media don't understand Shen Hao's style.
He who cherished words like gold ignored them at all.
The car arranged for him by the Dutch Football Association was waiting for him early. Shen Hao got into the car and got rid of the harassment of the media.
Arriving at the national team training camp, Shen Hao stayed at a nearby hotel.
In the evening, I had dinner with Stam and DeBoer and got to know some of the latest team news.
There is an endless stream of young talents in Dutch football. That was at least ten years ago.
Nowadays, there is a trend of talent shortage.
Shen Hao is not interested in some players who are considered to be talented players who are just starting out and are regarded as potential superstars.
In the international arena, heroes are still rare at a young age.
If it weren't for his astonishingly high potential.
He didn't even bother to take a second look.
Stam and DeBoer completed the formation of the coaching team, and Shen Hao just glanced at the list and nodded in agreement.
He will fully delegate power when coaching the national team.
Just focus on the big picture.
What tactics to use, what people to use, formation of troops, and on-the-spot planning.
If you can't worry about anything else, just leave it alone.
The next day, the national team training began.
Shen Hao led the coaching staff to meet with the new national team players on the training ground.
Although some players have never seen him in real life, they will definitely be shocked by his youth when they meet him for the first time.
Shen Hao looked at the players of the Dutch national team this time and felt uneasy in his heart.
to be frank.
The lineup is not as gorgeous as Leeds United.
Shen Hao was pacing back and forth in front of the team, like a general reviewing his soldiers. He was not angry but looked over every player with his calm eyes. The players held their heads high consciously and did not dare to make small moves or treat him perfunctorily.
Shen Hao stopped, stood at the front of the team, looked at everyone and said calmly: "I am not here to carry forward the glorious and long historical tradition of Dutch football. I am not here to think about how Dutch football can last forever. Accumulate international experience for your coaching career."
When everyone heard this, not only did their faces look heavy, but their hearts became even heavier.
If Shen Hao said these words in front of the media, he would probably risk the world's disapproval and become the target of verbal criticism from the outside world.
And it is foreseeable that, for example, someone will "leak the news" and leak out his deviant speech.
But everyone is still curious about what he will say next.
"I have only one purpose here, to go all out to lead the Dutch national team, that is, you, to win the World Cup in South Africa two years later!"
Everyone was shocked.
Even Robben, Shen Hao's former subordinate at Leeds United, looked extremely solemn.
When he joined Leeds United, Leeds United were already Champions League champions and Premier League champions.
Shen Hao does not need to use too many rhetoric to boost morale and set goals.
Because everyone knows it in their heart.
Leeds United, if they don’t win the championship, they will fail!
To lead a national team to win the World Cup is the ultimate dream of a coach and the lifelong pursuit of a player.
Shen Hao continued: "So my requirements, changes, and all decisions for the team will be with the goal of winning the championship. I know you have your own ideas, concepts, and your so-called pride. I welcome you to come. I ask for advice, but I will not accept any questioning from you.
I will only tell you the reason once.
The team you all form is not the best team in the history of Dutch football.
If there is any doubt about this, it is a very arrogant attitude.
The best team in the history of Dutch football, led by Michel IV and with Cruyff as the core, failed to win the World Cup.
So don’t use the tradition of Dutch football, the philosophy of Dutch football, what Dutch football wants to show the world as an excuse to question me, to confront me.
With that outcome, whether you win or not, this team is not going to be on top of the world.
If you think it is impossible to win the World Cup even if you obey me, then well, leave the national team for two years, and after two years, whether I succeed or fail, you come back.
I hope this is a two-way cooperation from the heart. Only a team that has a common goal and can be closely united can have the foundation to create miracles and realize dreams.
If you don't accept it, you can leave at any time. Start training now. If you have any questions, come to me after a break or after training. Don't interfere with the training rhythm of the entire team. "
After Shen Hao finished speaking, Stam and DeBoer clapped their hands and began to direct the team to train.
Everyone had different moods, but overall they were deeply impressed by Shen Hao.
Shen Hao watched from the sidelines as the team warmed up before training.
Take a closer look at each player.
The moment he signed the contract with the Dutch Football Association, the system sent a prompt.
information update.
He also serves as the coach of the Dutch national team.
Brings the same BUFF to the Dutch national team as the Leeds United club.
Training and competition ability experience increases by 200%.
Fatigue reduced by 40%.
Fatigue recovery speed is increased by 40%.
Injury recovery speed increased by 40%.
The upper limit of physical strength is increased by 15%.
But this is only during FIFA match days.
And only covers players who have been called up.
Compared to the club arena, the national team stage requires more physical strength and fatigue recovery BUFFs.
As for the BUFF that increases experience and ability, it is of little significance.
After all, there aren’t many games.
The Dutch team has an excellent offensive system.
In terms of strength and characteristics, the players recruited by Shen Hao this time at least do not have the embarrassment of being unavailable on the offensive end.
Robben, Van Persie, Kuyt, Huntelaar, Babel, Elia.
Six forwards, including wingers and centers.
Shen Hao did not recruit Ruud van Nistelrooy for the same reason as he did not recruit Ma Kai.
age.
Two years later, they may not be useful as substitutes on the World Cup stage.
The midfield configuration is also pretty good.
Sneijder, Van der Vaart, Van Bommel, De Jong, De Zeu, Inglal.
He did not recruit the new star Afeilai, because Sneijder and Van der Vaart at the front midfielder position can make it difficult for other players to have playing time.
If he wants to rely on Afellay to dominate the world in two years' time, then simply don't expect to go far in the World Cup.
Just like Babel on the striker, it's just for the thickness of the lineup.
How effective can it be?
On the back line, there are four central defenders, Boraluz, Matteisson, Heitinga, and Maduro.
Van der Wiel, Melchiot, two right backs.
Van Bronckhorst, Bouma, two left backs.
Plus a versatile veteran in the backcourt, Oye.
Goalkeeper Stekelenberg, Worm.
After coaching the national team, the system gave him 10 free draws.
But the prizes can only be used for players of the national team.
Maybe he is afraid that he will coach the national team to benefit the club.
It's really a bit stingy.
Shen Hao used all 10 draws.
It turned out that the prize did not contain a training and competition ability experience improvement scroll.
Probably because the national team has few games and a short span, the scroll does not take effect for one month or six months, but only for a few games.
So there is no prize at all.
It's quite humane.
At the same time, there is no injury recovery acceleration scroll.
In other words, the only prizes left are scrolls to clear injuries and scrolls to increase the upper limit of physical strength.
He drew 3 scrolls of injury removal and 7 scrolls of increased physical strength.
After studying the status and history of these players in the national team, he chose to use injury clearance scrolls for Van Persie and Van Bommel.
Then keep the rest.
National team training and club training are completely two different states.
The club's training focuses on consolidating the foundation, while the national team focuses on practicing tactics to enhance running-in and tacit understanding.
When Shen Hao started giving tactical lessons to the team and started practicing them in training, the players had different thoughts.
Because Shen Hao wants them to play defensive counterattack.
This is completely different from the romantic and unrestrained offensive football of the Netherlands.
Even on the court, there is a tit-for-tat confrontational relationship.
But none of them raised any objections publicly.
On the contrary, when they were having dinner together in the cafeteria after training, captain Van Bronckhorst took the initiative to bring a dinner plate to coach Shen Hao's table.
"BOSS, can't we play strong football like Leeds United? We have Robben, Sneijder, Robin van Persie, and Van der Vaart. They all have the ability or potential of top players. Even if they can't produce the desired results today, Two years is enough time for the team to further grow.”
Neither Stam nor De Boer expected that the first person to raise objections was Shen Hao's subordinates at Leeds United.
Shen Hao never resists players coming to him for discussions.
Even a welcoming attitude.
This means that the players' thoughts are on the team, but they also definitely have their own thoughts.
Shen Hao was not in a hurry to answer his question, but instead asked: "While looking at myself, I think we need to figure out a question first, who is our opponent?"
Van Bronckhorst was lost in thought.
opponent?
He knew that what Shen Hao was asking about was definitely not the opponent he would play in the World Preliminaries next.
But the opponent in the World Cup two years later.
Nor is it a match for the World Cup schedule.
Rather, it is the opponent who is aiming for the championship.
Take the results of the Dutch national team in the past two major competitions, the European Cup and the World Cup.
Their opponents...that's too many.
Seeing him thinking, Shen Hao said directly: "The champions and runners-up of the last European Cup and World Cup are our opponents. At least in terms of intensity, they will not deviate too much. Then what we have to consider is that facing Italy and France , Spain, Germany, these four European strong teams, plus Argentina and Brazil from South America, a total of six teams.
We look at ourselves, Robben, Van Persie, Sneijder, etc., very good, very good.
But are they good enough to use offensive football to destroy these six teams?
Italy is strong in overall defense. France may need to slow down after losing Zidane. The lack of a top midfield commander is their flaw.
Spain is strong in the team's strong control over the game scene, and Germany has a vibrant impact.
Under the leadership of Dunga, Brazil began to take a pragmatic route.
Argentina...can you imagine Argentina's striker in two years?
Messi, Aguero, Higuain... Based on this alone, are you confident that our striker can be better than them? "
The more Van Bronckhorst listened, the more he frowned.
Finally, he nodded and sighed: "BOSS, I understand, I completely understand."
With the abilities of contemporary players, the Dutch national team simply does not have the strength to carry the banner of offensive football anymore.
