In Zhuang Mingge's view, players should not be too restricted by the tactical framework. Therefore, the tactics implemented by Zhuang Mingge in all age groups in Fiorentina are basically just a big framework. For example, strengthening players' off-ball running, and defenders can also choose the opportunity to participate when attacking... However, there are no strict requirements in details. As long as the team's tactical direction remains unchanged, it is enough to successfully complete the "seamless docking" between the youth team and the adult team.

Therefore, regarding Michels' "tactical flow" idea, Zhuang Mingge personally believes that it is more suitable for players over 18 years old and have been initially established at the technical level, while Gulfren's "technical flow" is more suitable for those young players.

For example, why, after the arrival of the new century, there are fewer and fewer technical guards in international football like Martini, Baresci, and Nesta? (Of course, these people are not pure technical guards, but they use their own wonderful personal defensive skills when defending more than just physical confrontation) while physical guards like Pepe and Chiellini are popular? On the one hand, the nutritional balance of players is much better than before. As their physical fitness increases, physical confrontation will naturally increase.

On the other hand, it is the so-called tactical formation. Since Saki first initiated regional defense, this more modern football that emphasizes tactics rather than personal skills has brought a lot of fresh air to the original dull tactical ideas of Italian football. After Saki used this tactic to create the "Milan Dynasty", coaches from European countries put the training guard position first, and they invested very little in the defensive technology of players.

Lippi once complained when he was the head coach of the Italian national team: "Until the early 1990s, Italian football never lacked good defenders, especially center guards in man-targeting. But regional defense has caused a disaster for young people to train. Now children only know what the area is, and they can't even have basic human-targeting."

So, what fans now see more is that Pepe's physical confrontation and fierce tackles, and defensive masters like Baresi, Maldini, and Nesta are almost extinct in the football world.

Zhuang Mingge does not oppose regional defense theory, but he firmly opposes the inculcation of regional theory in the cultivation of young players. He believes that this is the reason why outstanding Italian football defenders "stop production". Young players must first learn personal skills during their growth. The most important thing for defenders is to keep a person-to-one defense technology, rather than regional defense theory. Learning regional defense theory too early is the harm of tactics to technology and achievements to growth.

Therefore, Zhuang Mingge also has the same view on Michels' "tactical flow" and Gulfren's "technical flow". He believes that when cultivating young players, they must first hone their personal skills, and tactical ideas should be instilled into them later.

...

When Gulfren heard Zhuang Mingge invite him to conduct special training for a young boy, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Corleon, you have also seen that I am already seventy years old and my energy and physical strength are not as good as before. Unfortunately, I am afraid I cannot be competent for this job."

When Zhuang Mingge heard this, his heart sank. If Gulfren didn't come to Florence, then who else could teach Little Pirlo?

Gulfren also saw the face of the young man sitting in front of him, and sighed in his heart that if he was twenty or fifteen years younger, he would agree to his request, but his current body could no longer support such a job.

Forget it, because he can patiently listen to my speech for so long, I will give this young man some advice so that my theory can take root and sprout.

"Chairman Corleone, although I can't go to Fiorentina to train the player named Pirlo, I have two candidates here, which should be helpful to you."

"Ah?" To Zhuang Mingge, Gu Furen's words were simply a sound of nature at this moment. "Mr. Gu Furen, please tell me."

"One is Rene Mullensten, who is now the head coach of the U18 team of Qatar; the other is Ricardo Moniz, who is now a coach at Feyenoord Club." The old man said slowly, "These two people have the most thorough understanding of my training courses in the years since I started CM. I believe that they will develop better under your hands."

Mullensten is actually Gulfren's disciple! Zhuang Mingge was really surprised. As a loyal fan of FM, he certainly knew who Mullensten was. He was an amazing man who served as an assistant coach under Manchester United's Sir Ferguson and was also independently responsible for some youth training!

With Gulfren's relationship, Mullensten should not object to going to Florence to train Pirlo. Zhuang Mingge even began to think in his mind whether the youth training department should be directly handed over to this great man. After all, the old coach of his own is really not reliable.

Monitz is not very impressed by Zhuang Mingge. He only remembers that Van Persie seemed to highly respect this coach after becoming famous. It seems that it was because Monitz trained Van Persie with CM courses...

"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Gulfren." As he said that, Zhuang Mingge stood up and bowed to the old man in a decent manner.

"No need to thank me, Mr. Corleon." The old man's eyes flashed, "I just wanted to promote my doctrine."

...

After saying goodbye to the old man Gulfren, Zhuang Mingge immediately called the Crown Prince Althani: "Hey, is it Sayed? Oh, I am Antonio... I want to hire your head coach of the Qatar U18 youth team to work in our Florence. Do you see if there is any problem..."

Since he made a player deal with Crown Prince Said at the beginning of this year, Zhuang Mingge's relationship with the other party has maintained a pretty good relationship. Although it is not as good as killing chicken heads and burning yellow paper, after fulfilling his promise to "contribute to the construction of Qatar football", Crown Prince Said has obviously become much closer to him.

Although all of this was what both sides took, the Qataris achieved "starization" and Zhuang Mingge made a lot of extra money, but as time passed, the relationship between the two was still formed.

Therefore, Crown Prince Said readily agreed to Zhuang Mingge's request. In order to compensate the Qataris, Zhuang Mingge told Said on the phone that he would introduce more high-level foreign players to play football in the Qatar League.

As for the liquidated damages for the work contract between Murensten and the Qatar Football Association? The generous Crown Prince Said said that Qatar, which has friendly relations with Florence, will not charge Murensten a liquidated damages for a penny.

Moniz's recruitment process seemed quite simple. Because he had different ideas from others in the club, and the Feyenoord club itself did not value this young coach who seemed "rebellious" in their opinion, Zhuang Mingge only took out a small penalty and took Moniz away from Feyenoord.

In this way, after a lot of hardships, Zhuang Mingge finally found two "famous teachers" for Pirlo and his youth team.
