Chapter 190 Preparing for Uruguay
For the warm-up match on April 4, Stan announced the roster a week ago on April 11. The main 4 members of the 3-man roster are exactly the same as those in the top 23, while the other 11 members Stan chose some young people.
Stan's inspection of players is different from other coaches. It can be said that it is just the opposite. Other coaches inspect players secretly, but Stan will notify the club in advance every time he inspects players, and he will specifically specify who he wants to inspect.
Why is Stan doing this?That’s because Stan knows how good a player is, and 50% of it depends on mentality. There used to be a very famous midfielder in Parma, Italy — Morfeo. Critics and experts were unanimously optimistic that he could be selected for the national team and become a midfield organizer. However, every time the head coach of the national team went to watch the game of “Morfeo” live, he would perform abnormally.
Later, Morfeo disappeared in Italian football. The reason is that his mental quality is not good. When the head coach of the national team came to the scene, his mentality was out of balance, and his skills under his feet could not be displayed.
Therefore, as the head coach of the national team, Stan will tell the players in advance that I want to inspect you. If Stan’s performance is abnormal because of Stan’s arrival, then such a player Stan will not consider it again.

On April 4, the "Si Family Army" assembled for the second time, this time in Shanghai to prepare for the match against Uruguay.
This match will be held at the Shanghai Hongkou Football Stadium. In the days before the 11th, Stan will lead the team to train at the affiliated training ground of the Hongkou Football Stadium.
Although it was just simple training, such as running and running, the first training session attracted 2000 people to the training ground to watch.
Stan lamented the popularity of the Shanghai football market. The most popular city in China’s football market should be Guangzhou, followed by BJ and Shanghai. The 35000 tickets for the Hongkou Stadium for this match were sold out half a month before the game. Based on the average price of 200 RMB, 700 million RMB went to Uruguay. Stan was a little upset thinking of this, but now Chinese football can only temporarily use RMB to attract high-level teams.
Stan is very grateful to these lovely fans. Every morning and afternoon training sessions, Stan will first arrange 20 minutes for the international players to sign autographs and take pictures for the fans, especially the young fans. This is the German experience that Stan learned when he and Li Qiao visited the Bayern headquarters.
Stan must be the person who is asked to take the most photos every time, followed by Li Qiao and Wei Xiao, and then the outstanding old international players, Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai.
In the last two days, Stan’s training will involve tactical training, so the training ground will be completely closed. Stan’s tactical training is still the same as before, that is, “sharp”. He hopes that through a year, he will firmly imprint his requirements in the players’ minds. Not only the current international team must do it, but the future Chinese team will also inherit it.
In order to achieve this, Stan told a story to the international footballers before training. Once Stan was interviewed by a CCTV reporter because of his work, and the two chatted during the interview. The reporter mentioned a small incident. Not long ago, he represented China in BJ in a football friendly match between Chinese and Japanese journalists.
After the game started, what made him embarrassed was that the Chinese journalists played purely in the style of wild football, which counts as far as they hit, but the Japanese reporters did not. They even had their own tactics—that is, ground coordination.
After telling the story, Stan said to the players: "I came to the position of the head coach of the national team. I said it in a small way to lead you to the top 10 matches. In a big way, I hoped to enter the World Cup. But if you want to ask me what is my ultimate goal? Then I can tell you now, it is to shape the style of Chinese football."
After listening to Stan's words, the team members felt enlightened, because no coach had mentioned the need to shape the style of Chinese football before. The previous coaches just wanted to win, and they didn't care much about the rest.
"Do you understand?"Stan asked loudly.
"Understood", everyone replied.
"Lies," Stan said.
Many players blushed immediately, indeed, they didn't understand.
"It's so easy to understand that not every country has become a football powerhouse," Stein said.
Stan saw the embarrassed looks of the players. How could he explain this better?
Stan looked at the lawn under his feet, suddenly had an idea, and asked, "Have you ever mowed the grass?"
The players are a bit confused so, they don't know what Stan means?
"No, coach," some people replied sheepishly.
"Haha, don't be embarrassed, you have lived in the city since you were young, so it's normal that you haven't mowed the grass," Stein said.
Then Stan squatted down, grabbed a handful of grass with his hands and pulled it up vigorously. Everyone watched Stan pull the grass, and they were all curious about what medicine was sold in Stan's gourd. Finally, Stan pulled the grass up with great effort, and then said to everyone: "Is this method stupid?"
Some people nodded, some shook their heads.
"Actually, there is a better way to cut with a very sharp knife," Stein said.
Seeing that everyone still doesn't understand, Stan said bluntly: "If scoring a goal is compared to pulling weeds, then I hope you are like a sharp knife, which can cut the grass very sharply."
At this time Li Weifeng said: "Coach, I understand what you mean, but it's better to tell us with an example from a specific game."
"Okay", in fact, Stan has prepared a lot of video materials, and now he just instills the concept into the players, otherwise everyone will just watch the video for fun.
After the training, Stan watched the video with everyone, that is, the Russian team participated in the European Cup in 2008, especially the third match against Sweden in the group stage.
When watching it for the first time, Stan sat with everyone to watch. After half the game, Stan stood up and asked everyone how they felt.
In fact, this question is not easy to answer. It’s like watching a movie together in a class. In the end, the teacher asked everyone to write an after-view review. Everyone must write differently.
"The two central defenders of the Swedish team stood apart and lost mutual protection," said Li Weifeng.
Stan nodded, but that wasn't the answer he was looking for.
He looked at Li Qiao, hoping that Li Qiao could give an answer. Li Qiao said: "Ibrahimovic did not perform well in this game."
Stan suddenly realized that Li Weifeng was a defender, so he only focused on defense, while Li Qiao was a forward, and he paid more attention to offense.
Stan nodded and said, "Is there anyone who can see the bigger picture"?
No one answers Stan.
Stan thought to himself, "With 11 people on the court, who can see the whole picture"?After much deliberation, Stan thought of one person - that is the goalkeeper.
"Little fat man, tell me."
"Who is the little fat man"?Everyone drew a question mark in their minds, and then looked at themselves one after another, "I shouldn't be fat."
Only people from Tianbao in Guangzhou knew that Stan was asking for the same rate.
Qi Rate stood up, he wanted to say something, but he was still unable to speak, and finally Qi Rate said: "I said it, everyone, don't laugh at me."
"Haha, we definitely won't laugh at you," Li Weifeng said.
"I think the first half of the game gave me a very clean and refreshing feeling," said Qi Qi.
"Yes", many people can't help shouting out, in fact, they also have the same feeling, but they can't say it out.
A gratified smile appeared on Stan's face, and he nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."
Then Stan went on to say: "Have you ever had this feeling that some games will see you want to smash the TV, and some games will see you want to have a drink."
I saw everyone nodding their heads.
Then Stan pointed to the TV screen and said: "In the first half of the game just now, you definitely wouldn't have the urge to smash the TV, because Russia's offense is very straightforward, and those who can play the ball with one kick will never procrastinate. It can be said that there is almost no redundant action."
"And my request to you is also the same, that is, to be straightforward and sharp. I don't want fans to swear foul language in front of the TV while watching our game, you know?"
"knew",
But this time, many people really know that Stan’s education work has theories and specific examples. Not only that, but Stan will also explain it to everyone in the simplest words.
"Then I hope that in the next game, we can try my tactical requirements and make the offense as simple as possible. I know that the Spanish football represented by Camacho requires gorgeousness, but my requirements are just the opposite. I want simplicity. It is best to be simple so that it is not worth seeing. That is the best," Stein said.
The players all nodded.
Then Stan continued to play the video of the game. After that, everyone watched two games in one breath. No one felt unbearable for 3 hours, but they felt that they were still unsatisfied, because the game Stan chose was the kind of game that they would never get tired of watching.
Stan knows that just watching the game is not enough, but he hopes to give everyone this impression first. As for whether he can play what he wants in the game against Uruguay, Stan is not sure. In fact, how the football game is, the performance of both teams is very important.
But one thing is clear, no matter how powerful the opponent is, Stan will still implement his tactical requirements.
