Lu Zhenxiu

Lu Zhenxiu

Lu Zhenxiu, 41, was a famous Korean national player when he was young. After retirement, he was the head coach of LG men's volleyball team in South Korea, and led the club team to win the national championship. Unlike Xin mangen, the Korean head coach of Beijing Women's volleyball team, who likes to stand on the sideline to direct the game, Lu Zhenxiu, who is two years older than Xin mangen, prefers to sit in the coach's seat and watch the game attentively, which makes him cool.

Come to China

What's the reason for this famous Korean volleyball star to come to Beijing, China to coach a club team that is not outstanding? Lu Zhenxiu said that because there was a friendly exchange between Seoul Volleyball Association and Beijing Volleyball Association, six months ago, he heard that Beijing would invite a South Korean coach to coach the club. The president of Seoul Volleyball Association recommended Lu Zhenxiu to Beijing Volleyball Association, and he decided to come after much consideration.

training effect

When he first came to Beijing, Lu Zhenxiu used his "devil training" to give his young men a downfall. However, the players of Beijing Men's volleyball team, who are tired and holding their strength to fight a "turning over battle" in the new season, still taste the sweetness after gritting their teeth and sticking to it. Before the start of the new season, Lu Zhenxiu led the Beijing Men's volleyball team to Korea for nine warm-up games. Although three wins and six losses, after returning home, he faced the domestic teams again, which greatly increased the confidence of the Beijing Men's volleyball team. After three wins in the first three games of the league, people exclaimed that "the dark horse is coming", but also talked about that Beijing Men's volleyball team has Korean style. However, Lu Zhenxiu said modestly that the players were affected by the competition in South Korea, so they had some Korean style in terms of technique and tactics, but the change was not big. However, Lu Zhenxiu still thinks that Beijing Men's volleyball players are young and have potential. As long as they work hard, they should get good results. although the league has made an excellent start, Lu Zhenxiu still insists on not mentioning the league goal of the new season. He said that because he had only played a few games, although he knew more about the situation of this group, he did not know the situation of the above two groups at all. He thinks there are still many deficiencies in the Beijing team, such as the team spirit of cooperation is not enough, because volleyball is a collective event, sometimes the players fight alone on the field, which is not good for the game, I hope the players can correct it. As Lu Zhenxiu has the experience of coaching the Korean men's volleyball club, when he was asked to comment on the differences between Chinese clubs and Korean clubs in the management of athletes, Lu Zhenxiu said frankly that there is a relatively complete and systematic procedure for managing players in Korean clubs, while Beijing Men's volleyball club now feels a bit chaotic and complicated, and does not know where to start. behind the good results is hard sweat. Lu Zhenxiu admitted that he felt very tired every day when he first came here. After two or three months, he got better, but he had to face the fatigue work at the beginning of the league. Lu Zhenxiu, who likes to play golf, has not arranged for himself to relax. "The league is so tense now, and there is still no condition to arrange for himself to have a rest." At this point, Lu Zhenxiu, who always has a serious face, finally shows a smile of helplessness and joy.

Training methods

More than ten years ago, talented people with excellent coaching potential, such as Lang Ping and Yang Xiaojun of women's volleyball team, Fang Yan and Liu Changcheng of men's volleyball team, lost overseas. There was a serious fault in Beijing volleyball coaches, and the team's performance was also affected. In order to revitalize Beijing volleyball, with the attention and help of the Municipal Sports Bureau, Beijing Men's volleyball team invited Lu Zhenxiu to be the head coach of Beijing Men's volleyball team. Lu Zhenxiu became the first foreign volleyball teacher in China. In early September, Xin mangen, former head coach of South Korean women's volleyball team, signed a contract with Beijing Women's volleyball team. Lu Zhenxiu, 41, was once an excellent player of the Korean men's volleyball team. When he was a student of chengjunguan University in Seoul in 1984, he was selected into the Korean team and participated in the Los Angeles Olympic Games with the Korean men's volleyball team in the same year. After graduating from University, he entered the Korean modern men's volleyball club team and became a professional player until he retired in 1993. During this period, he participated in two Olympic Games, two Asian Games and all Asian Championships with the Korean team. He was also selected into the Korean young men's volleyball team and participated in the Asian and world college volleyball competitions from 1985 to 1987. after retirement, he returned to Seoul chengjunguan university to coach the volleyball team, and was promoted to coach a year later. In 2001, he was invited by LG company to become the head coach of the club's men's volleyball team. Until he agreed to coach in Beijing, he left LG club. the coach is not "cruel" the initial signing period between Beijing Men's volleyball team and Lu Zhenxiu is only two months, it can be seen that Beijing Men's volleyball team is also "feeling the stone to cross the river". In fact, Beijing Men's volleyball team has been looking for a head coach, because sun Guoqing, the former head coach, has already exceeded the retirement age. When Beijing Men's volleyball team visited Korea, the person in charge of Seoul Volleyball Association saw that Beijing Men's volleyball players had good physical conditions, but their skills were not comprehensive enough. He once suggested that Beijing Men's volleyball team hire a high-level coach. Under their strong recommendation, Lu Zhenxiu's trip to Beijing was facilitated, but his report time was delayed for a year due to the outbreak of SARS in China. Korean coaches always give people the impression of training dignity and even cruelty. Several Korean coaches in China's field of hockey, archery and handball are all unswerving military commanders. But Lu Zhenxiu is a gentle coach. After a training class, he can hardly hear his loud cry. He usually just arranges each training project and puts forward the requirements and indicators, and then carefully watches the players' movements on the sidelines. When he sees the substandard movements, he will ask the athletes to give individual guidance outside the field, and then ask them to complete the training again. In Lu Zhenxiu's opinion, Chinese men's volleyball teams generally have the characteristics of "focusing on attack but neglecting defense". He hopes to transplant some essence of Korean volleyball defense to Beijing Men's volleyball team. Since taking office, Lu Zhenxiu has spent two-thirds of his training time on defense, which is quite different from the guiding ideology of "attack first" and "attack with defense" in Chinese men's volleyball training. Compared with the offensive training, the defensive training is often boring and boring. One of the main players in the team used to describe the hard training as "I really can't stand it any more". team leader Wang Weijun's evaluation of Lu Zhenxiu is: "coach Lu Zhenxiu is introverted and calm. After a period of contact, Lu Zhenxiu's talent and cultivation win the hearts of Beijing players. His speech and behavior are full of charm and affinity. Although he is very strict, the athletes listen to him." Since the beginning of the league, Lu Zhenxiu has expressed his confidence in improving the team on different occasions. Originally, he thought that Lu Zhenxiu was referring to the improvement of the team's performance in the National League. Unexpectedly, he said: "I want to take this team to play in the 10th National Games." Lu Zhenxiu's first impression is "self-confidence". First, he believes that he can renew his contract with Beijing Men's volleyball team. Second, he believes that he can lead a good team. The new season's men's Volleyball League has passed five rounds. Although Beijing Men's volleyball team has also experienced two defeats with insufficient away experience, with the three consecutive wins at the beginning of the season, Beijing team has also achieved the set goal of group qualification and relieved the burden of relegation battle ahead of time, and Lu Zhenxiu has also got a one-year new contract. keep running 20 laps every day no matter which member of Beijing Men's volleyball team talks about their Korean coach Lu Zhenxiu, they will tell you Lu Zhenxiu's "trump card" in training: running 20 laps every day. from the first day of training led by Lu Zhenxiu, the first thing to get up in the morning is to lead the team to run 20 laps on the track and field. In the past, this training program was only arranged in a special training class, about once a week, and everyone was afraid of it. Jogging is not enough. There is a certain time limit. If you can't finish it within the specified time, run another 20 laps. Everyone has to do their best. but Lu Zhenxiu didn't find this training method novel. "Physical strength and endurance are the basis of all kinds of skills. When I came here, I felt that the gap between them was very obvious. Moreover, some athletes have already put on weight, so they have this training program to improve their physical fitness, "Lu Zhenxiu said. After a month, the players have gradually got used to this training, and many players said that they would not have any physical problems with who they are playing five games with. In Lu Zhenxiu's opinion, although the physical conditions of Beijing Men's volleyball players are good, their basic skills are rough. Although they have great potential to tap, their training still needs to be carried out step by step. He intends to focus on physical fitness, lay a certain foundation, and then pay close attention to technology, "now the league is a practical stage for us to practice tactics.". "When I first took over the team, a lot of players just wanted to spike, other skills were poor. Playing volleyball depends not only on height but also on ability. What's more important is delicate technique and overall cooperation. " Male players do not like to practice defense, his way is to repeatedly emphasize that this is their weakest link, to win must change the status quo, this is very important. Lu Zhenxiu uses "trying to change many of their bad habits" to summarize his work at the beginning of leading the team. Lu Zhenxiu is probably a foreign coach who is good at doing ideological work, which is also the fundamental reason why he doesn't have to yell on the training ground. He said: "sometimes athletes are lazy, sometimes they are injured or sick, and they don't want to persist. In training, the coach must ask them to complete the training project, talk with them, communicate with them, and achieve the purpose of mutual understanding Of course, Lu Zhenxiu's rapid integration with the team also thanks to the Beijing team's "close translator" Le Guang. The young man was originally an athlete of the Beijing handball team and went to South Korea to study for two years after his retirement due to injury
