Chapter 895： War of the Door God

Finished the training session and returned to the locker room.

Hazard came out of the shower and found Courtois still sitting on a stool.

He was naked up and down, with only a pair of shorts left, and his legs were shaking constantly.

Is this excessive consumption? Or is it because of fear?

Hazard did not understand, but he still walked over, sat down beside Courtois, and comforted: "It's okay, he didn't intend to target you, just..."

"He's helping me!" Courtois said lightly.

"What?" Hazard was a little confused.

Courtois turned his head and glanced at his teammate, knowing in his heart that Hazard must have misunderstood.

No wonder, because he had just arrived, he didn't understand Su Dong for the first time.

But Courtois had come to Manchester City many times before, and had dealt with Sodong many times, so he knew something about Sudong's personality.

"I still remember I said, I hope to stay in Manchester City, I hope to train with the world's No. 1 superstar, and now, we are not only training together, he also personally trains me, this is a great honor."

Had it not been for the gratitude on Courtois’ face, Hazard would have suspected that he was telling the truth.

It's an honor to be abused like this?

"He actually wants to tell me how strong the world's top stars are and how far I am from them. This will be my goal and direction for my next efforts." Courtois thought very well.

"Then you just told him before leaving..."

"Thank you!" Courtois smiled.

Hazard smiled bitterly, so, fortunately he thought that Courtois was going to say something cruel.

"Have you gained a lot?" Azar asked.

Courtois nodded, "The biggest gain today is to see where I am. At the same time I see that the coach's new training method can really make me go down faster, so I will unswervingly continue to improve. ."

He didn't know if this was the effect that Su Dong wanted to achieve, but he really got it.

This is why he said to Su Dong before leaving, thank you.

…

"What did the kid tell you?"

After finishing the training, sweating out, Su Dong, Pepe and Van Sue left the training ground side by side.

The Portuguese central defender is very gossip and asked curiously.

Not only him, but Vinsue also showed concern in his eyes.

"Thank you." Su Dong smiled.

"I don't believe it." Pepe shook her head, "That kid is crazy, he will say thank you? You are so beautiful!"

Su Dong smiled and didn't go to explain more, but instead looked at Wen Sue, "Juan, what do you think of him?"

Wen Suai knew that Su Dong was talking about Courtois, and immediately smiled and said: "It's pretty good, he is very similar to Van der Sar, not only his height, but also his characteristics, they are all alike, and his idol is Van der Sar."

"Does Van der Sar fit our tactics?" Pepe asked in surprise.

In Manchester United, Van der Sar is a goal-line goalkeeper, known for his steadiness, excellent position selection and superb goal-line skills, making them a solid barrier in front of the goal.

But this does not meet Guardiola's requirements for Manchester City's goalkeeper.

"You are wrong, Pepe. Many people think that Neuer is the creator of the street sweeper goalkeeper, but in fact it is not at all. Before Neuer, Van der Sar was also a street sweeper goalkeeper."

"Van der Sar?" Pepe was surprised and turned to look at Su Dong.

Su Dong nodded, "How is it possible to use a goal-line goalkeeper in Van Gaal's Ajax tactics?"

is not that right?

The football played by Van Gaal's Ajax back then was more radical than Guardiola's current tactical play, and the pressure is even higher. Will he choose a goalkeeper who is close to the goal?

"Actually, Van der Sar, under the training of Van Gaal and Frans Hawke, was the most promising and most eye-catching scavenger goalkeeper at the time. His role and characteristics in the defensive line even It caused the shock of the entire European football scene, so Juventus will try their best to introduce him."

In 1999, after Juventus’s top goalkeeper Peruzi was poached by Inter Milan with 19 million euros, which set a world goalkeeper transfer fee record, the Bianconeri mobilized all resources to grab from Barcelona and Liverpool. Under the then Ajax goalkeeper Van der Sar, the Dutch goal will fill Peruzi's vacancy in the future.

But no one thought that these two transfers would ultimately fail.

Peruzi only stayed in Inter Milan for one season, and Van der Sar was also hit by Juventus’s sad experience and completely lost his confidence. Interestingly, after Juventus sent Van der Sar away, he lost five thousand and three. For a super high price of one million euros, Buffon was signed from Parma, and Parma signed Peruzi from Inter Milan for a high price of 18 million euros.

The experience at Juventus made Van der Sar completely lost his confidence and became a parallel importer. No one cares about all the giants, so he was forced to go to Fulham, which had just been promoted to the Premier League, which shows how bad he was at that time.

But it was during Fulham's time that he slowly regained his self-confidence, and after moving to Manchester United in 2005, he regained a new peak in his career.

Su Dong promised Van der Sar to participate in his farewell match, so naturally he knew something about Van der Sar.

"In fact, the most important thing about Van der Sar’s experience at Juventus was not adapting to it." Su Dong analyzed that this point has been mentioned by Rijkaard and others. "Ajax’s requirement for goalkeepers is to stand. Position in the front, take the initiative to attack, more possession of the ball, which is the so-called scavenger goalkeeper."

"But Juventus is different. The Bianconeri is an Italian team. They adopt Italian-style shrinking defensive tactics. They basically don't allow the goalkeeper to move forward too much. Besides, the defense has returned. Even if the goalkeeper wants to I can't do it if I go forward."

"Under the tactical environment of Juventus, Van der Sar's advantage in Ajax does not have any room to play, but the disadvantages are very obvious, so he will perform so badly in Juventus."

"That's right." Wensue nodded. "In addition to the technical and tactical level, there are also differences in goalkeeper training. Italy has its own set of goalkeeper training system, and it is a very good system, which is similar to the Dutch one. The goalkeeper training system is completely different, and after Van der Sar arrived at Juventus, he was asked to change some of his playing habits and training methods."

Speaking of it, this is a bit like what Van Suet is doing to Courtois now.

It's cruel, but no way.

Courtois wants to play in Manchester City, he must adapt to all of this, otherwise he will only be loaned out or sold.

"The inadaptability of the tactical environment on the court and the unaccustomed training of the team every day made Van der Sar at a loss what to do. In addition, his performance was not as expected. The media desperately attacked him. Under multiple pressures, he was overwhelmed and even changed. I didn’t know what to do and didn’t know how to play, and I completely lost my confidence.”

At this point, Wen Suai smiled at Su Dong, "I believe Courtois should understand when you joined just now, but no one in Van der Sar helped him that way, so he was lost."

Both Su Dong and Peipei have a close relationship.

This kind of loss of players is terrible, because after losing their confidence and losing their direction, a player is basically useless.

"However, during this time in Italy, Van der Sar’s goal line technology and some of the shortcomings that were originally left in the Netherlands have made up for it. So after arriving in Fulham, he slowly polished it and after several years of precipitation , He gradually regained his self-confidence, coupled with the increase in age, he could no longer keep the goal like before, but found a set of goalkeeping methods that suit him. This is the Van der Sar we saw later when we were at Manchester United. ."

From the point of view of hindsight, this is a blessing.

But only those who have experienced it understand that it is definitely a nightmare that everyone can't bear.

Why can't the German gate **** Enke come out?

The cause of the illness was because in Barcelona, ​​he was unable to adapt to Frans Hawk's training methods and technical requirements.

Van der Sar’s strength does not lie in how many games he has not conceded, or how many titles he won for Manchester United, but in his ability to come out tenaciously and succeed in Manchester United after experiencing such darkness and troughs. .

This is the most admirable!

"Are you sure, this kid can be like Van der Sar?" Su Dong asked with interest. UU reading www.uukANAnshu.com

Vinsue thought for a while and nodded: "He is still young. Although he has been trained in Belgium, his experience in the professional arena is not very rich. It is a bit difficult to carve, but it is not impossible, at least better than Joe Hart. It’s much more likely."

"His footwork is actually very good, maybe it doesn't have Van der Sar's long pass, but there is no problem with passing and holding the ball, but he is not good at using them, which requires us to slowly guide and train."

Su Dong understood the meaning of Wen Suai.

In fact, he also appreciates Courtois, otherwise he would not take the initiative to accompany him in training.

Now that he is evaluated by the coaching staff from Van Suet's mouth, Su Dong also knows.

Manchester City do need an excellent goalkeeper to make up for Joe Hart's vacancy in the future. Courtois may not have such strength for the time being, but at least he has such potential.

Su Dong is very clear that if Manchester City's lineup played in the Champions League last season, the goal will be the biggest hidden danger.

Especially in the high-intensity knockout games, the goalkeeper's weakness will be exposed more thoroughly under the pressure of the opponent.

In this case, if it can help Courtois grow up as soon as possible, it will be good for Manchester City, Sudong and Courtois himself.

"What are you going to do?" Pepe saw Su Dong's eyes and knew that he must have something in mind.

"Nothing, isn't his idol Van der Sar?"

Pepe and Vinsue both nodded.

"I was just invited to participate in Van der Sar's farewell match, and when that time comes, I will take him with him, let him meet with his idol, and let Van der Sar take a good look at this kid and help him get around." Su Dong smiled.

When Winsue and Pepe heard this, they all thought it was a good idea.

When it comes to overcoming Courtois' current situation, who else is more convincing than Van der Sar?
