Chapter 23

Oscar Ortega was born in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1955.

As a young man, he made money producing golf balls in his hometown and took Xi soccer coaching course, as well as being a rugby coach at the local British University in Montevideo.

Ortega has been coaching in Argentina, Japan, Colombia, Chile and Mexico since the age of 21, and last year he moved to Sevilla, Spain.

Now, Ortega is still in Seville.

He is the target of Zhong Cheng's trip to Sevilla at this time, he will be an unobtainable figure in Zhong Cheng's coaching staff, and Zhong Cheng will have to bring Ortega back to Leeds when he comes here.

Even in later generations, Ortega was not well-known, and not many people knew about it. But this is definitely a great figure, because he is the physical coach of Atletico Madrid, the iron-blooded team of Simeone.

And the success of Atletico Madrid in later generations is absolutely inseparable from Ortega, and even Ortega guarantees the success of Atletico Madrid. In later generations, Atletico Madrid was a very fierce and oppressive iron division, and the most surprising thing was the physical fitness of the Atletico Madrid players.

According to the intensity of the game of Atletico Madrid, the physical consumption of a game for the players is very huge, but those who have watched the Atletico Madrid game know that Simeone rarely rotates, which is enough to show that Ortega is powerful.

And Ortega is not only the physical coach of the Atletico Madrid team, he also has a lot of defensive training for Atletico Madrid in his usual training, and the fierce defense and pressure of the Atletico Madrid players come from him.

That's why Zhong Cheng is desperate to pull Ortega into his coaching staff.

Zhong Cheng knows that at this time, Ortega has met Simeone, who has returned to Atletico Madrid, and the two should have talked happily and intersected.

However, Zhong Cheng now has the advantage that Simeone is still a player, not a coach. Simeone's coaching career began two years later, and when Simeone began his coaching career two years later, Oscar Ortega followed him.

Now, Oscar Ortega is still at home, and it is time for Zhong Cheng to make a move.

When Zhong Cheng met Oscar Ortega, Simeone happened to be a guest at Oscar Ortega.

Looking at the iron-blooded tough guy in front of him, Zhong Cheng was not surprised, he knew that the two people in front of him were incomparable, Zhong Cheng greeted Simone and said, "Mr. Diego Simone, hello!" Diego Simone

stood up and asked suspiciously: "Hello sir, may I ask you?"

Oscar Ortega, who was accompanying him, also looked at Zhong Cheng, his eyes were full of inquiry.

Zhong Cheng smiled and said: "Contemptible Zhong Cheng, now the head coach of Leeds United, come uninvited, and look forward to the two Haihan!"

Simeone and Ortega were both shocked by Zhong Cheng's youth, and they were slightly stunned.

Ortega, as the host here, immediately responded: "Where is it, Mr. Zhong Cheng is a guest from afar, you are welcome, please sit!" The

three sat down, Ortega instructed the family to make coffee, and then he asked: "I don't know Mr. Zhong Cheng, why did you come this time?" Zhong Cheng smiled and said: "It's

for the old gentleman!"

Seeing that Ortega and Simeone were puzzled, Zhong Cheng immediately admitted the reason:" I want to ask Mr. to come out of the mountain and help me!"

Ortega was shocked, he didn't seem to have any intersection with Zhong Cheng before, right?

Simeone was also very surprised, he looked at Zhong Cheng in surprise.

Ortega immediately asked suspiciously: "Mr. Zhong Cheng, we don't seem to know each other before, right?"

Zhong Cheng immediately said: "I really don't know, but Mr. Zhong Cheng has heard of it, especially for Mr. Ortega's 'indispensable strength' is very interested!" Ortega

was shocked, he never thought that Zhong Cheng really knew his coaching philosophy.

Zhong Cheng saw the change in Ortega's expression, and he continued: "The confrontation in modern football is becoming more and more intense, almost every inch of space on the field is contested, strong physical fitness is the basis of high-intensity pressing and pressing, and regional joint defensive pressing is the top priority, but these Mr. Ortega is everyone, especially your set of defensive concepts that evolved from rugby, I admire ...... very

much." Listening to Zhong Cheng's words, Ortega was really shocked, he didn't expect Zhong Cheng to know him so well, and what Zhong Cheng said spoke to his heart, and even some things he himself was still groping, but Zhong Cheng made it clear.

Ortega suddenly felt a sense of confidant, and looked at Zhong Cheng's eyes that obviously changed.

Seeing this, Simone couldn't help but give Zhong Cheng a thumbs up in his heart, although this guy in front of him is young, but his means and knowledge are definitely comparable to others.

Ortega was aroused by Zhong Cheng's interest, the two of them are you and me, you come and go, and they have a lot of discussions, and Simone also joins in, and the three of them have a hot chat.

Ortega couldn't see that Zhong Cheng was deliberately flattering, but Zhong Cheng did have the material, and the concepts of the two were also very compatible, and Ortega was finally tempted. He agreed to Zhong Cheng's invitation and was willing to join Zhong Cheng's coaching staff and became Leeds United's physical coach and defensive coach.

Now that time was pressing, Zhong Cheng and Ortega did not stay in Spain for long, and flew directly back to Leeds United the next day, while Simeone reported to Atletico Madrid.

After returning to Leeds United, Zhong Cheng finalized another coach, who called Paul Lambert, a famous Scottish footballer and later inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame.

Paul Lambert was still very young and had just gone to Germany to study. Participated in a football coaching training course held by the German Football Association, and now there is no coaching certificate, but Zhong Cheng is very optimistic about him and let him join Leeds United and return to China after completing his studies.

Paul Lambert is also a well-known coach in the Premier League in later life, and Zhong Cheng also feels very good to be able to win this old man.

So far, Zhong Cheng's coaching staff has eight people, they are assistant coaches Nai Smith, Rodgers, Di Matteo, Paul Lambert, physical coaches Ortega and Carlos Menendez, intelligence reconnaissance expert G. Nethercott, psychological counselor D. Brown and team doctor Mark Pias.

Now Zhong Cheng is still short of the goalkeeper coach, and this time Zhong Cheng is not busy looking for the goalkeeper coach, he is bringing the coaching staff to the first team, and it is to start the work.

◆◆◆◆◆

while Zhong Cheng was forming a coaching staff, Leeds United's recruitment work did not stop.

Now Zhong Cheng is lacking in skills, so he handed over this matter to Trevo Birch to do, Zhong Cheng gave Trevo Birch a list, and asked Trickor Birch to bring these people to Leeds United as soon as possible.

First of all, Zhong Cheng looked at the future world No. 1 right-back Brazilian McConn, and Trevo Birch found McConn, but McCone directly rejected Trevo Burch.

Because McCone said that Manchester United's Alex Ferguson had taken a fancy to him and tried to bring him in, but it failed because McCone could not get a labor certification.

Zhong Cheng knew that McCone was only selected for the Brazilian national team last year, and now he has not yet met the conditions for getting a labor certificate, and this year's labor certificate is obviously going to be given to Modric, so McCone has to give up.

In fact, Zhong Cheng wanted to buy McCone and then loan it to Monaco.

However, McCone did not agree, because he was about to sign a contract with Monaco, and Zhong Chengqi was one move away, and he suffered a setback in the transfer market for the first time since the shipbuilding industry.

There is a first time and a second time, and Zhong Cheng is optimistic about Serbia's central defender Vidic. Although Serbia is not a member of the European Union, Vidic is already a Serbian international and can get a labor certificate.

Now Vidic wants to leave China to break into European football, at this time, Leeds United found Vidic, but Vidic directly rejected Leeds United, but chose to go to the icy and snowy Russia and joined the Russian giant Spartak Moscow.

Zhong Cheng was very speechless, no matter how you look at it, Leeds United has a better future than Spartak Moscow, how could Vidic choose Spartak Moscow?

But there is no way, Vidic just rejected Leeds United.

Then Trevo Birch went to Italy again, because Zhong Cheng valued Chiellini, the defender of the Serie A promotion Marivorno, Chiellini is a left-footed defender, who can be on the side, and his strength is good, Zhong Cheng very much hopes to join Leeds United.

After Trivo Birch went to Livorno, he contacted Chiellini, but as soon as he made his intention known, Chiellini refused. First, Chiellini has not thought about playing abroad, and secondly, now that the club is negotiating with Serie A giants Juventus, it is very likely that he will go to Juventus, how can he agree to go to Leeds United?

Zhong Cheng was very speechless when he heard it, or is his team's reputation not enough, otherwise, these players can escape his Zhong Cheng's palm?

Then only I refuse other people's share, and no one else refuses me!

Zhong Cheng clenched his fists and punished the grand wish in his heart.

Leeds United has suffered setbacks in the transfer market one after another, Zhong Cheng can't help but shake his head, now is the most dangerous time for Leeds United.

◆◆◆◆◆

Zhongcheng's coaching staff is now fully in charge of the team, and the team is now being trained with Ortega and his student Carlos Menendez.

Ortega is a very strict person, his training intensity is very large, and the requirements are very meticulous, in the training he is personally on the field, with the players to train, and in the training he also often designs some small games, to mobilize the players' whole body muscle groups, training the players' reactions, sensitivity and so on.

The Leeds United players are a little miserable, because the training intensity is really too much, and many players are a little unbearable.

Moreover, Ortega divided the court into different areas, each area had to maintain ultra-high-intensity pressure, and the defensive training was known for its ferocity, which made many players unbearable, especially the veteran players in the center.

At this time, Zhong Cheng led Rodgers, Di Matteo, Nai Smith and others to the coach's office, Zhong Cheng sent the tactical information he prepared, which Zhong Cheng summarized and designed by himself, this is the tactics he formulated, he hopes that his assistants will be familiar with the materials in their hands as soon as possible, and then start training, because the new season is really about to start, and there is really not much time left for them.

And, with Leeds United's first warm-up game of the new season just around the corner, they must familiarise their players with the tactics as soon as possible.
