The training ended and the sun had already set, with night falling soon.
The training ground of Chemnitz's reserve team still echoed with the muffled sound of football being kicked, apparently someone was left on the training ground to practice extra.
Yang Cheng walked out of the office when he heard this voice, his brow furrowed, he was very discouraging players from practicing extra.
According to his idea, the high-intensity training in 90 minutes is already very hard. If you add more practice on your own initiative, the attitude is good, but the effect may not be obvious. On the contrary, it is possible that due to fatigue, the body becomes fragile and prone to injury.
But when he came to the edge of the court, he saw a figure practicing alone on the field under the dim sky.
"It was him!" Yang Cheng burst out laughing, and simply stood at the side of the court, silently watching the Barrack he had given himself to practice with, without making any noise, just quietly looking, but in his mind, he opened up the Super Coach Assistant System's information on Barrack.
He is the only player in Chemnitz who can make Yang Cheng look good, with a strength of 115 and a potential of 190. If judged by this standard, his strength should be among the best in the second team and an average player in the first team, but his potential is enough to make him one of the best players in the world, as the highest potential is only 199, and so is the strength!
Barak's characteristics are comprehensive, with a good header, average speed. Yang Cheng has seen his file, he was injured in both feet at the age of 16, and after a period of recuperation, it is estimated that this is also the reason why his speed is not fast, but he is very diligent and has the highest execution on the training ground.
But in Yang Cheng's view, Balak's technique is relatively rough, and it is estimated that this also has a lot to do with the youth training he received when he was young. Although diligence can make up for clumsiness, if his technique could be more delicate and his ball control and passing skills could be better, his career would definitely go to a higher level.
Currently in the second team, Balak's position is not fixed, mostly playing on both sides of the road, even as a center forward, so he scored many goals in the youth team, but Yang Cheng thinks that once he enters the regular season, he will receive attention from his opponents, which is why he didn't perform well last season.
Yang Cheng thought of something and coughed, then walked over.
This cough was very noticeable in the quiet training ground, Barack heard it and immediately looked over.
"Hello, Mr. Yang Cheng!" Barack walked over and greeted politely.
Although he still had doubts and dissatisfaction with Yang Cheng in his heart, at least he knew the basic courtesy.
"That's enough, Michael!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.
"I... just feel I'm not good enough!" Barack didn't know what the head coach meant.
"Your weaknesses are in passing, trapping and technique, but what you're practicing now is dribbling. Honestly, your speed is average, explosive power is ordinary, you're not suitable to be a winger at all. Your ability to receive the ball is not good enough, can't play as a forward, so..." Yang Cheng shrugged his shoulders.
Barack was deeply hurt and even a little angry. Was it that the head coach called him to deliberately point out his shortcomings?
In the recent high school graduation exam, Barack's grades were not bad, but his favorite football was very poor, even worse than volleyball and basketball. The reason is simple: he unfortunately drew a passing test, which is his weakness.
However, his previous coach told him that he had a strong scoring sense in the penalty area, and his heading ability was also excellent. He was tall and robust, very suitable to be a center forward, so he did it, and he didn't think passing was an irreparable flaw, at least for a center forward, it seemed!
"There's fire in you, that's great!" Yang Cheng noticed Barack's expression and burst out laughing. "Players need to have fire in them to be good. Michael, the feeling I get from you during training is that you're very invested, but it seems like you're suppressing your emotions. This is similar to your teammates, but for a soccer player, this hinders your performance!"
"A player must have a strong desire to win and fight, and besides, I just said you're not suitable for being a winger or a striker, this is the fact, because in my tactics, the position that can best bring out your strengths is not these positions!"
Barack was taken aback, "What position is that?"
"Secret!" Yang Cheng suddenly burst out laughing mischievously, "If you believe me, then from now on if you want to practice more, go ask Tim how to improve your passing ability. And let go of your worries, trust your instincts. I've always believed that you're a very talented player, the best in Chemnitz, even the whole East Germany, no question!"
Barack was completely stunned, he had never known that this seemingly arrogant Chinese man
He actually gave him such a high evaluation, is it just to cater to him as the best player of the second team?
But looking at Yang Cheng's expression, it doesn't seem like it, could it be true?
"You're very smart, to put it in soccer terms, your football IQ is high. You quickly understood the running training I arranged for you, and your sense of position on the field is great, so your training performance should be a notch higher than your teammates!"
Although Yang Cheng would draw tactical diagrams on the court during regular training, during team training, they would practice in another area without lines because Yang Cheng knew that a real game field could not be filled with these patterns. The players had to adapt and grasp these areas by feeling, but as a result, many players were at a loss, and the entire team's movement was completely disrupted.
Of course, this is just the beginning stage of the situation. I believe that as time goes on and training deepens, their situation will improve. This is also why every head coach needs a period of time to let players understand and familiarize themselves with his tactics.
"But there's one thing I want to ask you, Michael, and I want an honest answer!"
Barack nodded, "Mm-hmm, go ahead and ask!"
"If you continue to develop in the current trend, you can absolutely become Chemnitz's best player, you can become one of East Germany's top stars in the next few years, and even make a name for yourself in any Bundesliga team. But is that all you aspire to?"
After a pause, Yang Cheng had that kind of weird uncle's potential to lure people's hearts. "If you believe me, I will especially increase the training requirements for you, and my punishment for you will also be increased. However, I can guarantee that as long as you follow my requirements, your future will step out of East Germany, cross over Germany, and become a top-notch superstar in this world, just like Klinsmann and others, and even more outstanding than them!"
"In my opinion, clever people will constantly raise their demands on themselves and keep conquering themselves, but foolish people won't. They will choose to be content with the status quo. Now, I'm giving you a chance to choose: do you want to become a clever person or a fool?"
Barack was less than 19 years old, but Yang Cheng knew very well that he could understand his words because he was a clever person, but he didn't know if Barack had the determination.
If he, like Kuroba and Dilschmidt, rejects foreign football culture, then Yang Cheng thinks that no matter how much he says or does, it will be useless, because this will only increase his resistance to himself.
On the contrary, if he is willing to open his arms and accept new things from outside, then Yang Cheng has confidence in carving him into an excellent giant star, and then arrange the current Chemnitz's tactical formation around him, even cultivate him into his own future coaching ace.
Every outstanding head coach will have his own favorite players, and Yang Cheng is no exception. However, he has not yet discovered them, so he hopes that Barak can become the first true star player he has cultivated.
I believe this is also the most exciting excitement for all head coaches, that is, watching their own trained football stars step by step to the top of the football world, watching them achieve success and fame, which is absolutely the greatest pride of the head coach.
Sometimes trophies and championships may not make a head coach feel real, but cultivating some players from weak to strong, this sense of achievement can!
Of course, for Yang Cheng, his ambition is a bit bigger, and it's best to have both!
