This season's Chinese Super League has shown a three-legged trend of Evergrande, SIPG and Guoan from the beginning of the season. Let's push the time to more than two months ago, in Talisca, Yu Hanchao, Gao Lin have been injured, Evergrande lost to Guoan at home, and when it was difficult to draw with Suning, it seems that Evergrande may be the first to fall behind; but it is in the case of not being optimistic that Evergrande opened a record 11 consecutive wins in team history. And in this 11-game winning streak, we have witnessed Cannavaro's more mature side!
<h1 class="ql-align-center" > confident lead big brother! </h1>
With Cannavaro's resume as the world champion captain when he played football, it is reasonable to say that his coaching can start from the Italian second division, or the youth team of the big team, but Cannavaro is a bit unusual, his first stop in China, and he was pushed by Lippi to evergrande's coaching position. His first coaching experience at Evergrande was less than successful, and after Lippi "ran", he also left Evergrande's coaching position in the middle of the way, but in those months, he conquered all the players.
On the night when Cannavaro was out of class 4 years ago, the lounge was never so "tragic"; everyone was crying, Zheng Long, Gao Lin, translating Little Red Riding Hood, crying a handful of tears, not exaggerating to say that the lounge was full of tears, this kind of scene is relatively rare in professional clubs! At that time, Cannavaro was suddenly dismissed from class, but he got enough psychological comfort! A similar picture also happened when he left Quan Jian. When talking about Cannavaro's coaching, more than one domestic player has said that Cannavaro is the best coach they have ever met. Why is it that Cannavaro, who has not achieved much honor so far, can get such a high evaluation from many players? It starts with his character!
Cannavaro's first impression was self-confidence, which didn't just stem from his successful experience as a player, but was innate. In Naples, a coastal city that was once mad for Maradona, many young players were given the opportunity to train with the first team, and when they faced Maradona on the pitch, their eyes would show surprise, uneasiness and other emotions; and before the confrontation, there would always be someone to take care of the young players and let them not put Maradona down. But there is one exception among these young players, and that is Cannavaro.
Cannavaro had posted photos of maradona celebrating his birthday
Cannavaro once described in his autobiography this paragraph: that day Maradona rushed to me with the ball, the foot was full of wind, did not think much, I immediately went up to a shovel... Suddenly I felt the eyes of all my teammates and coaches staring at me, and I suddenly remembered what Ferrara had said: You can't shovel Maradona... There was only one person smiling at this time, and it was Maradona himself. After the training, he actually came over and gave me his boots. ”
This innate confidence has made Cannavaro on the pitch, not afraid of those who are taller and stronger than him, and has also been brought to his coaching. Whether in Quan Jian or Evergrande, he has always given people a sense of his own aura, facing different opinions on the pitch, Cannavaro, although the tone will be milder, but the tone will firmly put words such as "I am the world footballer of the year, listen to me" and so on. Privately, Cannavaro still maintains the feeling of a world footballer of the year, and has a great way of encouraging players in the dressing room. A lot of players have said that playing with Cannavaro is passionate and exciting. And Cannavaro's team is the same style as Cannavaro when he plays football, no matter who the opponent is, he will go up and do it, always full of tenacity.
< h1 class="ql-align-center" > obsessive-compulsive disorder can make everyone around them feel comfortable</h1>
My second impression of Cannavaro is his meticulousness and patience in his pursuit of perfection. Cannavaro is so passionate about his work that he said he worked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in an interview with the Italian press. Before the start of each day's training, the assistant training had already placed the marker pole as required; but many times Cannavaro moved slightly until he was satisfied. For players, especially young players, he manages not only on the pitch, but also off the pitch. For example, what color of clothes should be matched with what color of pants, wearing leather shoes must be equipped with black socks, he will manage; if he thinks that your dressing style is not in line with his taste, smelling the perfume on your body is not what he likes, he will let you throw it away, and then personally take you to buy.
It is relatively rare in professional teams to manage everything on and off the field; to some extent, it is possible to trigger the "disgust" of the players, but this happened to Cannavaro, but it brought him closer to the players. Why is Cannavaro, who manages everything, so close to the players? I think it has something to do with his management scale. In recent years, among the coaches who have come to the Chinese Super League, Lippi, Capello and Zaccheroni, the three older generation coaches of Italian football, all pursue iron-fisted management; in order to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the team, they will always put pressure on the players. If the way is right, continuous pressure can stimulate the greater potential of the player to a certain extent, but if the way is not right, the team will increase injuries and the team will increase, and the locker room problem will occur. Cannavaro's coaching is more from the perspective of the player; therefore, his tone with the players has always been relatively gentle, and the team he coaches, the atmosphere in the team is also relatively relaxed and harmonious.
Cannavaro is often the most passionate celebration
Of course, on the pitch, Cannavaro's requirements for players are no less than other famous coaches who come to the Chinese Super League. But unlike some coaches who are always very serious on the pitch and sometimes criticize the players harshly because of mistakes, in Cannavaro's team, as long as the players try their best, even if the players have serious mistakes on the field and lose, Cannavaro will also say "It's okay, come again", and the next game will give you a chance. If he saw a player making a mistake on the field and felt guilty, he would take the initiative to coax the player and tell the player that "Maradona will make mistakes, let alone you", or "I have made more mistakes than this when I was a player"... In addition, when he sees a player making a mistake on the field, or where he doesn't do it well, he will personally take you to practice.
Cannavaro's principle of employment is to uphold a bowl of water level, who performs well in training, who can play; it is also under Cannavaro's persistence and encouragement that often young players will grow rapidly. When he took Quan Jian, he blew up a youth storm, and when Evergrande's post-95s gradually began to pick up the beams this season, Evergrande has now become a team with a stronger family foundation and extremely fierce internal competition.
<h1 class="ql-align-center" > Cannavaro's change and persistence</h1>
Like the players like brothers, this is the main reason why Cannavaro's team is full of resilience and competitiveness; but in terms of technical and tactical construction, on-the-spot command, and the idea of employing people, at least last year, Cannavaro still gave people a slightly radical feeling!
Last year's Evergrande, in addition to a few games such as away games against Guoan, took the initiative to seek changes, and arranged according to the characteristics of the other side, and the tactical arrangements of most games were mainly based on me. Since Evergrande has always been the strongest team in the Chinese Super League, it has long been a norm for me to dominate the field. But now Evergrande, their advantage on the card has shrunk significantly; so when Cannavaro continues to choose to be dominated by me, it is a bit risky. Even after adding Baota in the second half of last year, although Evergrande's game was very passionate, sometimes the result was not very wonderful.
After losing to SIPG last year, Cannavaro was frustrated, saying that he could not understand how the team lost 5 goals; but in the eyes of the outside world, the reason why Evergrande lost 5 goals at home in both the first and last year was related to Cannavaro's tactics and more aggressive use of troops. Although there was no foreign striker at the beginning of this season, but let Baota rush to the front as a pioneer, Cannavaro's employment and tactical arrangements still followed last year's thinking, and there are still some doubts about Cannavaro's coaching, and the doubts have reached the peak of the China Cup.
Cannavaro at the China Cup was helpless
But it was after the China Cup that Cannavaro quietly made adjustments; for the use of young people, he was not as radical as he was at the beginning of the season after 5 or 6 95s at the same time, but slowly with the old and the new. In the formulation of the game strategy, Cannavaro also began to choose timely recycling. Before the first leg of the league derby, Stojkovic called out to Cannavaro for a match before the game; but in the game, Evergrande used the most secure way to collect three points. But even if it has begun to seek stability in a timely manner, Evergrande has also exposed some problems. For example, after the injury of Talisca, Evergrande's ability to attack the stronghold has caused great concern to the outside world; for example, in the back line of Evergrande, in the case of Mei Fang's injury and Zhang Linpeng fixed at right back, Several other domestic center-backs of Evergrande are not known for confrontation, and there are some headaches when encountering strong centers. The team is full of injuries, but it has to face the problem of hidden dangers in attack and defense, and Cannavaro is insisting on it while changing.
He insisted on pushing Paulinho forward, and even pushed Paulinho up to play in the center; even though Paulinho in the center position played less than ideally, but as Paulinho was gradually fixed in the forward position, we saw a Paulinho who was omnipotent on the offensive end. He was also insisting on giving Yang Liyu and Wei Shihao and Yan Dinghao a chance; such opportunities had nothing to do with continuous injuries. Yang Liyu has been the starter since returning from playing qualifiers with the National Olympic Games; Cannavaro used Wei Shihao at the beginning of the season, and after the ban of the China Cup was lifted, Cannavaro immediately activated Wei Shihao... It is also Cannavaro's persistence that makes Yang Liyu and Wei Shihao more confident and stimulates their greater potential.
Cannavaro steered Wei Shihao perfectly
Cannavaro's change is reflected in the tactical thinking, during the 11-game winning streak, Evergrande played a number of defensive counterattack games. In addition to facing SIPG because the card face is in the inferior position, it seems that there is some last resort; playing Huaxia, playing R&F, playing Shenhua, playing Teda and other games, in the case of Evergrande's card face dominant, they still played a defensive counterattack on the field. Of course, the premise of a good defensive counterattack is to be able to hold, and during the 11-game winning streak, Cannavaro's biggest change is that he has begun to play outside the back line. Whether browning or Park Ji-so is on the court, after they came on, the hardness of Evergrande's defense and the ability to defend against counterattacks have been improved, and during the 11-game winning streak, Evergrande has 6 clean sheets. From the data point of view, Evergrande lost 42 goals in 30 rounds of the league in 20 years, 36 goals in the 30 rounds of the league last year, and only 13 goals in the 20 rounds this year, not only the defense was upgraded to the top of the league, Evergrande's game mode also became more balanced!
<h1 class="ql-align-center" > after training the rookie, it's time to run to the championship! </h1>
After the game, when summing up the 11 consecutive wins, Cannavaro mentioned that the group's requirements for him were to renew and cultivate more useful talents; he also mentioned the pressure he faced at Evergrande. But from the current stage of the situation, this season's Cannavaro not only led Evergrande to take a big step forward on the road of blood change, but also experienced a series of vicious battles, his coaching skills have also improved significantly.
Before the start of the 11-game winning streak, Evergrande was 3 points behind SIPG and 8 points behind Guoan, but now when Evergrande has led SIPG and Guoan by 4 points respectively, and Guoan has shown a downward trend, Evergrande also has a feeling of sudden enlightenment ahead. Before the start of the season, Evergrande put forward the season goal of the AFC Champions League + league double after clarifying the demand for blood change; now that the appeal has been completed, it is time for Cannavaro to lead the team to the goal.
Even if, in Cannavaro's own words, Evergrande is not the best team in the card, but when Evergrande has been showing an upward momentum and has the opportunity to continue to rewrite the record belonging to the entire Chinese Super League, they have embarked on the road to regain the lost ground!
