Chapter 144 Special Training Camp
Chapter 144 Special Training Camp
Because of the loss of the game, Osvaldo did not let the team rest for a day, but started training directly.
Before the first training session on the first day after the game, Osvaldo did not make a tirade criticizing the performance of the players in the game.
They did not address Rong Guang and Kaka, who were surrounded by criticism from the media, nor did they express disappointment at the immature Lucas Sutton.
He didn't say anything, and the training session started normally with a warm-up.
But after the warm-up was over, he didn't let the team go directly to the training session. Instead, after everyone lined up, he called out the names of three people: "Kaka, Rong and Lucas. You three come out."
Three people stood up.
Many people looked at them, a little worried.
The failure to win yesterday's game has a lot to do with the poor performance of the three.
They all thought that Rong Guang, Kaka and Lucas were going to be bloodied by the head coach in front of them, so as to stand up.
In China, there is a saying called "kill the chicken to show the monkey", which is suitable for this occasion.
Reynaldo was in the crowd, gloating and watching the three people go out to "be tortured" face to face.
But to their surprise, Osvaldo did not criticize them or scold them.
He just said calmly: "From now on, you will not participate in any other team training except for the tactical training of attacking set kicks."
The players were shocked, and their expressions changed.
"Your task is very simple. During this week, only practice offensive routines." Osvaldo ignored those surprised eyes and looked at the three young men and said. "Also, you can't go back for a week, and you'll just live in the Brafunda base!"
This time, the Sao Paulo players found that their surprised expressions could evolve... They were already shocked!
"This... do we have to train at night?" Kaka asked in surprise.
"No." Osvaldo shook his head.
"Then why can't we go home?"
"Because I need you to live together to cultivate a tacit understanding." Osvaldo said.
Kaka opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
In fact, he wanted to say "Even if we let us live together, we can't cultivate a tacit understanding"... But the head coach seems to be particularly keen on the trick of living together to cultivate a tacit understanding.
Rong Guang and Lucas looked at each other without raising any objections, so the three of them accepted the head coach's arrangement.
The other players still looked at them and the coach without recovering.
In the last week, only the three of them were suddenly allowed to conduct a closed training camp... It seems that the head coach is planning to bet all his treasures on these three people!
But is there any way he can solve the problem between Rongguang and Kaka?
Assistant coach Mauro stood by with a calm expression.
This is actually the method that the coaching staff discussed.
Although they didn't lose in the first final, it was almost as good as losing.
The key is how to solve the problem of cooperation between these three people.
The method of the coaching staff is to rely on a lot of training to strengthen the tacit cooperation of these three people. In fact, it is mainly to give Lucas Sutton a small lesson. Both Rongguang and Kaka can be regarded as Lucas Sutton's training partners.
Since Pereira's tactics are aimed at Lucas, then strengthen Lucas' strength so that he is not so easily restricted.
For this reason, many offensive routines should be designed with him as the center, and the design of these offensive routines should also take into account Lucas' characteristics. After all, he and Fabiano are different and cannot be copied directly.
Because time was tight, Osvaldo decided to spend a whole week training Lucas.
In fact, for Osvaldo's actions, there is also a saying in China that can be perfectly applied-"Sharpen your guns before the battle, and you will be happy if you are unhappy!"
As for the bad relationship between Rongguang and Kaka that Grayson pointed out...they didn't want to solve it at all.
It is meaningless to solve this, as long as Lucas can temporarily replace Fabiano for one game.
Not much, just one game.
If Pereira thinks his tactics have limited Lucas Sutton to death, they don't mind giving them a big "surprise" at Corinthians' home court!
※※※
After the rest of the team trained under the leadership of Rocha, only Rong Guang, Kaka, Lucas, the second substitute goalkeeper Flavio, the head coach Osvaldo and assistant coach Rocha were left on this half of the training field, a total of five people.
Flavio participated in the training as a goalkeeper who must exist in the offensive routine training.He doesn't have to live at the training facility with the other three, which means there really aren't any overnight workouts.But he is also not able to train with the team, but has to cooperate with the special training of the Trident.
Anyway, he is the team's second substitute goalkeeper. Even if the main goalkeeper Cheney is injured, he will not be able to play. Therefore, if he does not participate in the team's joint training, it will not affect the team's training effect, let alone cause any adverse effects on himself.
Coach Osvaldo called the four players together.
"The opponent thought they caught our Achilles' heel." Osvaldo looked at Lucas Sutton. "But we want to give them a surprise. We only have one week. During this week, Lucas, you must complete the training tasks I gave you. Only in this way can we have a chance of winning. So you are the key to our victory."
Rong Guang, Kaka, and Flavio all set their sights on Lucas.
Flavio thought Lucas would feel pressured by the importance.
After all, a player who was just transferred from the youth team suddenly became the key to the team winning the championship overnight. Anyone would be nervous and at a loss, right?
Lucas did froze for a moment, but soon his expression returned to normal.
Flavio was slightly taken aback when he saw this scene - this kid is stable?He saw the glory around Lucas again, that kid had a smile on his face...
Has Sao Paulo's youth team all cultivated such monsters recently?
Osvaldo has been staring at Lucas, and he saw the satisfactory result from Lucas' expression.
He's not in a hurry, but he doesn't appear to be under too much pressure. It's really worth betting on him...
Speaking of which, the quality of the players from the youth team this time is very high...
That Rico is also a very good player, but his personality is a little too weak, otherwise he can consider it...
"Very well, let's start training." Osvaldo nodded.
Training officially begins.
As a center forward, Lucas Sutton's strongest qualities are not his speed, dribbling and ball-handling skills, or even his drop-back response and ball handling.
His strongest point is grabbing points.
This Osvaldo has been seen in the usual training and team games.
Lucas's ability to grab points is even stronger than Fabiano.
Osvaldo can see that this is not a practice, he is born with it.Just like Rong Guang was born to run fast.
Lucas was born with an extremely good sense of grabbing points.
Osvaldo intends to make a fuss about it.
In the previous Trident tactics, Fabiano served more as a series player.
Now, Osvaldo hopes that the position of the center will return to its original meaning-that is, to score goals.
Therefore, in the new Trident tactics, there will be many routines that Rongguang and Kaka assisted Lucas Sutton.
Of course, with so many routines, it doesn't mean that Lucas Sutton will definitely be able to score goals. Whether he can seize this opportunity depends on his own performance and luck.
Prepare a hundred routines during training, and maybe there is only one routine that will come in handy in the competition in the end.
That's what training is all about - simulating what might happen in a game on the training ground and then doing it over and over again.Once encountered in a similar situation in a real game, players will quickly know what to do without being overwhelmed.
Repeat, repeat, and repeat, only after thousands of repetitions will there be a moment when the light shines on the court.

The whistle kept ringing, and the training of the three was constantly interrupted.
"Lucas, you are running slowly!" Assistant coach Mauro walked into the training ground quickly after blowing the whistle, and shouted at Lucas Sutton.
After yelling at Lucas, he turned and yelled at Kaka again.
"Kaka must pass faster! Must be fast!"
"But... he won't be able to catch it soon..." Kaka said timidly—he had seen a lot of Mauro's hysterical emotions in the special training. To be honest, such an assistant coach made him a little strange and a little scared.
"That's Lucas' responsibility. It's your responsibility if you pass slowly! Only by being fast can you break through Corinthians' defense! Haven't you learned enough lessons in the first round?" Mauro roared with wide-eyed eyes.
Kaka felt that Mauro's saliva was about to spray on his face, so he turned his head slightly.
Seeing Kaka being sprayed by the coach, Rong Guang smiled gloatingly beside him.
But he didn't escape either.
After Mauro finished yelling at Kaka, he came to yell at him: "What are you laughing at? Do you think there is nothing wrong with you here? Running and running, running does not mean that only one Lucas can run! If you don't run, how can you help Lucas pull the defense?"
The smile on Rong Guang's face froze.
"Restart! Practice again!"
After Mauro scolded everyone unceremoniously, he turned and walked out of the training ground.
Then he blew the whistle again.
The only one who was not scolded was goalkeeper Flavio.
Here he is the most leisurely, and everyone even ignores his existence.
He leaned against the goalpost, looking boredly at the three teammates who had returned to the starting point.Mauro didn't even notice his amateurish position...
Thirty-ten minutes passed, and they hadn't successfully completed a single shot, all of which were interrupted by whistles during the practice routine.
Just fail again and again, and try again and again.
Can these three young men... really turn the tide?
he asked inwardly.
