7 Future Superstars (Part 2)
()
After the training, the sun has already set and night is about to fall.
However, there were still sounds of foot-touching the football from the training ground of Chemnitz's second team. Obviously, there were still people who stayed to practice on the training ground.
When Yang Cheng walked out of the office, he heard this voice and frowned. He was very discouraged by the players to practice more.
According to his vision, high-intensity training in 90 minutes is already very hard. If you take the initiative to practice, your attitude will be good, but the effect may not be obvious. On the other hand, it may even become fragile and easily injured due to fatigue.
But when he came to the sidelines, he saw a figure practicing on the court under the dim sky.
"So it's him!" Yang Cheng laughed, and simply stood on the sidelines, silently watching Barak who was practicing for himself on the court. Without making any sound, he just watched quietly, but the information about Barak in the super coach assist system opened in his mind.
He is the only player in Chemnitz who can make Yang Cheng look at. His strength is only 115, but his potential is as high as 190. If we look at this standard, his strength should be the best among the second team and the average player in the first team, but his potential is enough to make him the best star in the world, because his highest potential is only 199, and the same is true for his strength!
Barack's characteristics are comprehensive, with excellent heading and average speed. Yang Cheng has read the file. He was injured in both feet when he was 16 years old and was recuperated for a while. It is probably because of this that his speed is not fast, but he is very diligent and is the player with the highest execution ability on the training ground.
However, in Yang Cheng's view, Barack's skills are relatively rough, which probably has a lot to do with the youth training he has received since childhood. Although diligence can make up for his shortcomings, if his skills can be more detailed and his skills in stopping and passing and receiving can be better, his career will definitely be able to go to a higher level.
Currently in the second team, Barack's position is very unfixed, and he plays on two sides or even strikers, so he scored goals in the youth team, but Yang Cheng felt that once he reached the regular court, he would be valued by his opponents, which is why he failed to perform last season.
When he thought of this, Yang Cheng coughed and walked over.
The cough was obvious in the quiet training ground. Barack heard it and looked over immediately.
"Hello, Mr. Yang Cheng!" Barak came over and greeted him politely.
Although he was still full of doubts about Yang Cheng and was still unhappy, he still understood the minimum politeness.
"Stop practicing, Michael!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
"I... just think I'm not good enough!" Barack didn't know what the head coach meant.
"What you are not good enough is your passing, stopping and skills, but what you are practicing now is sprinting. To be honest, your speed is average and your explosive power is average. You are not suitable to be a sideline player. Your ability to take the ball is not good and you are not competent for the role of a forward, so..." Yang Cheng shrugged.
Barack was hit hard and he was even a little annoyed. Could it be that the head coach called him to stop and deliberately criticize his shortcomings?
In the high school graduation exam not long ago, Barack performed well, but his best football exam was very poor, even worse than volleyball and basketball. The reason was very simple. He unfortunately scored a pass, which was his weakness.
But the former head coach told him that he had a strong sense of scoring in the penalty area, his heading ability was also excellent, he was tall and strong, and was very suitable for being a forward. He did so, so he didn't think that the passing difference was an irreparable defect, at least for a forward, it seemed like this!
"It's great to be angry!" Yang Cheng noticed Barack's expression and laughed, "Players need to be angry. Michael, you give me the feeling of being devoted in training, but it seems to suppress your emotions. This is very similar to the teammates around you, but for a football player, it hinders your performance!"
"Players must be angry and fighting spirit. What's more, I just said that you are not suitable for being a sideline player and not suitable for the current striker. This is a fact, because in my tactics, the positions that can best show your characteristics are not these positions!"
Barack was stunned after hearing this, "Where is that position?"
"Secret!" Yang Cheng suddenly laughed in a prank, "If you can trust me, then if you want to practice more in the future, go and ask Tim about how to improve your passing ability, and let go of your arms and trust your intuition. I have always believed that you are a very talented player, Chemnitz and even the best player in East Germany, no doubt about it!"
Barack was completely stunned. He never knew that this Chinese man who looked ridiculously arrogant would give him such a high evaluation. Could it be that this is just to please him, the best player in the second team?
But looking at Yang Cheng's expression, it doesn't look like it, is it true?
"You are very smart. In terms of football fields, you have a high ball quotient. You understand the running training I arranged very quickly. You have a good sense of position on the court, so your training performance is better than your teammates!"
Although Yang Cheng would outline the areas on the tactical artwork on the court during training, he would conduct it in another field without drawing lines when training in the team, because Yang Cheng knew that the real game venue would not allow you to draw these graphics, and players must adapt to master these areas based on their feelings. However, in this way, many players were at a loss and the entire team's running was completely messed up.
Of course, this is just the situation at the beginning. I believe that as time goes on and training goes deeper, their situation will improve. This is why it takes a while for every head coach to understand and familiarize the players with his tactics.
"But there is one thing I want to ask you, Michael, you must answer me honestly!"
Barack nodded, "Well, ask!"
"If you continue to develop according to the current trend, you can definitely become the best player in Chemnitz, you can become the best star in East Germany in the next few years, and you can even gain a foothold in any Bundesliga team, but is your ambition just like this?"
After a pause, Yang Cheng had the potential to bewitch people's hearts. "If you believe me, I will particularly increase your training requirements for you. Correspondingly, my punishment for you will also increase, but I can guarantee that as long as you follow my requirements, you will step out of East Germany and step out of Germany in the future, and become the world's leading top superstar, just like Klinsmann and others, even better than them!"
"In my opinion, smart people will know how to constantly improve their requirements for themselves and then constantly overcome themselves, but stupid people will not. They will choose to be content with the status quo. Now, I will give you a chance to choose. Are you going to be a smart person or a fool?"
Barack is less than 19 years old, but Yang Cheng knew very clearly that he could understand what he said because he was a smart person, but he didn't know if Barack had that kind of determination.
If he rejects foreign football culture like Hefner, Dilsmit and others, then Yang Cheng feels that no matter how much he says, no matter how much he does, it will be useless, because this will only increase his resistance to himself.
On the contrary, if he is willing to let go of his arms and accept new things from outside, Yang Cheng will be confident that he will be able to carve him into an outstanding superstar, and then arrange the current tactical formation of Chemnitz around him, and even train him into his future coaching star.
Every outstanding head coach always has his own favorite player team, and Yang Cheng is no exception, but he has not yet discovered it, so he hopes that Barack can become his first star to be trained in the true sense.
I believe this is also the most exciting excitement of all head coaches, that is, watching the stars he trains step by step to the top of the football world, and watching them succeed, that is definitely the head coach's greatest pride.
Sometimes, trophys and championships may not make a head coach feel real, but cultivating some players from weak to strong will make this sense of accomplishment!
