Guoan's first phase of winter training has come to an end, starting tomorrow, the team will start a week-long holiday, and then start the second phase of spring training in Shanghai. Through the previous stage of winter training, the coaching team composed of Xie Feng and Cao Zhidong, Zhai Biao and Tao Wei has entered the role, and the coaching team with a strong "old national security" style emphasizes the content in the training, highlighting the changes and changes of the new national security under the "old national security".
What remains unchanged is the technical style of Beijing football. In many interviews, Xie Feng mentioned Guoan's new season of play, he believes that no matter what formation the team adopts, it should be based on passing and controlling the ball and high pressure, "This is Guoan's past advantage, we must continue to carry forward and maintain"Xie Feng said.
Although the international footballers are training in the national team and the foreign aid is not in place, in the warm-up match, Xie Feng still emphasizes the control of the team. Since the opponent was a relatively weak young player of The University of North Sports, Xie Feng asked the team to strengthen the transmission of the ball, while implementing high-intensity pressure in the front court, if the opponent attacked the Guoan penalty area six times in the half, even if Guoan lost a goal.
Treating warm-up matches with stricter requirements also highlights Guoan's technical style of the new season, that is, the attack is still dominated by passing and controlling the ball, and the defense continues to pursue high-level pressing.
In the past decade, "transmission control" and "oppression" have been symbols of the offensive and defensive ends of national security. Since the time of Pacheco, the team has emphasized the use of passing and possession and no-ball reception to master the rhythm, and once the goal is conceded, it is counter-attacked in the front. Pacheco, Manzano, Schmidt, Genesio four Western European coaches are so demanding, but the four people advocate different styles of play, some have higher passing requirements, some have greater pressure, but in the final analysis, their essence has not changed, and Guoan's results have always been at the forefront of the league.
Zaccheroni and the two former South coaches Stano and Bilic both prefer defensive counter-attacks, but their results and scenes are not prominent enough, which is enough to show that "pass control" and "oppression" are suitable for Guoan.
Xie Feng made this request because Guoan's player type style is so, and Beijing football has always been based on technology and awareness, in the past, In the old Guoan, Xie Feng represented speed, and Cao Zhidong represented technology. Judging from the composition of the coaching staff, Guoan's "me-oriented" style will not change.
What has changed? It should be spirited. Since Xie Feng took office, he has repeatedly emphasized the unity and hard work of the team. In the training camp, when Xie Feng held a meeting for young players, he wrote on the blackboard that "seriousness can change oneself, persistence can change fate". In order to encourage young players, usually train seriously, and grit their teeth and persevere when encountering difficulties.
On the first day of the training after the Spring Festival, Xie Feng also said a lot of powerful words in his public speech with the players. He said at the time: "Some of you have worked with me before, and some of the players are working together for the first time, it doesn't matter, in my eyes everyone is the same." I am usually more easy-going, and I am willing to joke with everyone. But in training and in competition, everyone has to come up with a 100% desperate attitude, to show me that you have the quality of will to fight for this team. Attitude is what I value most.
At that time, Xie Feng also cited the example of The Australian Open men's singles veteran Nadal, saying that the 36-year-old veteran played the game back with a goal that had to be contested in a situation where he was behind. "At that time, I thought that we in Beijing Guoan must also have such a spirit, that is, the spirit of death that we often say, we can be defeated, but we absolutely cannot give up."
It can be seen that every three to five, Xie Feng will openly instill spiritual motivation into the team on some occasions. It is true that in the past two years, guoan has not seriously declined in terms of technology and tactics, but its mental outlook is very different from that of the CITIC era. There is often a feeling of "clocking in to work" and "doing things according to the contract" in the team. In the past, the "who to love" momentum is becoming less and less.
As a technical playing team, the confrontation itself is not a national security advantage, in the past, whether it was the old Guoan in the Jin Zhiyang era, or the European-style guoan in the era of foreign teachers such as Pacheco, although the physical quality of the players is still inferior to Evergrande and Luneng, the team dares to fight, the field is not afraid of confrontation, not afraid of injury, open-minded, spelling out. However, in recent years, even in the face of Shanghai teams that have always been considered to be softer, some Guoan players have also fallen at a touch, only promises.
In fact, people familiar with Xie Feng know that he is a very approachable person, and he is particularly good at playing, it is said that Xie Feng is proficient in playing cards and rubbing hemp and various entertainment activities. But on the playing field, Xie Feng was never ambiguous. Looking back, the decline in Xie Feng's career was from having a high fever and insisting on playing, and then his serious illness turned to myocarditis, from which he began to go down to the peak.
It can be seen that the previous "old guoan", even a "fun" person like Xie Feng, actually had a stubborn and hard-working heart. Now, Xie Feng emphasizes the spirit of the field and hopes that Guoan can change in temperament. This is also a highlight of the new season.
Change and change, Xie Feng is trying to make guoan return to the national security that we are familiar with in the past.
