Star Coach

Chapter 19: Shooting depends on the sun

There is an old saying in England: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Jiangshan feels that the team's condition is stable. The league has gone through 17 rounds and is halfway through the schedule. It has won the half-time championship 3 rounds ahead of schedule. And a total of 4 points were lost. Not only did it not need repair, but it could also be celebrated in advance.

They opened up the second-placed Stuttgart amateur team by 13 points, a huge points gap. Almost all German media claimed that Hoffenheim was promoted ahead of schedule.

Of course, Tuchel, like Jiangshan, did not let the victory go to his head. He showed the half-time data, "The shooting conversion rate of several forwards continued to decline. After the opponent's targeted defense, it was difficult for them to open up the situation."

"Kuranyi's old problems seem to be getting worse. He has to take a few steps every time he gets the ball; Dorante turns slowly and cannot pose a threat when playing with the ball with his back to the defender; Didik can only shoot wildly." Tuchel looked at the statistics of several forwards with a frown.

The shooting conversion rate of several forwards is actually not as good as Bastian Schweinsteiger. What the hell are they playing? During this period, Jiangshan beat them a lot, but the effect was average.

They want to change, but the more anxious they are, the more problems they will encounter. Their technical foundation is poor and it is difficult to make up for it.

In the last three games, Hoffenheim won staggeringly, one game 2:1 and two games 1:0. The forwards counterattacked slowly at the last moment and won the game entirely by defense. There are still two games left before the winter break, and adjustments are still needed to stabilize the state in the second half of the season.

At the training ground, Jiang Shan was depressed again, "These guys are all top players from the bottom of their heads."

"Stop! Pause!"

Jiang Shan jumped into the field and said, "Kuranyi, I need you to hit the damn ball into the opponent's net. I don't want you to appreciate your dribbling skills, okay?"

Kuranyi was also under a lot of pressure during this period, but the greater the pressure, the more he relied on instinct to do things, with a stubborn spirit, and moved forward indomitably. At this time, he was stopped by Jiangshan again, which was aggrieved.

Jiang Shan felt that he couldn't be too rough with this simple-minded little boy, so he adjusted his volume and waved, and several frontcourt players gathered around him.

"Have you seen the sun in the sky?" Jiang Shan pointed his finger at the sky, attracting everyone's attention. "Don't focus on my finger, otherwise you will be dizzy by the sun's rays."

"Scoring goals is like looking at the sun. Dribbling is my fingers. No matter whether my fingers are raised or not, the sun is the sun. Therefore, to score goals, you don't have to dribble. Use the simplest way to The ball went in."

Jiangshan looked around and saw a few people staring at the sun. Don't you think it's dazzling? "By the way, it's like feeling the sunshine in the woods. The sunshine will always shine through the woods. All you have to do is to shoot in the most appropriate way under the marking of the defensive players. That's enough."

"do you understand?"

Kuranyi and Dorante looked admiring. They were obviously shocked by Jiang Shan's explanation full of Eastern Zen. Although they didn't quite understand it, they seemed to have a profound truth. Then he nodded inexplicably.

Jiang Shan looked at them, his heart pounding. Two big men, do you understand? Called Tuchel, "Continue training."

Not to mention, Kuranyi seems to have been opened up by Jiangshan to Ren and Du's second line. He is actually much more lively and knows how to observe the opponent's position.

The dribbling with the lower head has been reduced by more than half, the movements are clean and concise, and the aiming point of shooting is quickly improved. If it can be shown in the game, at least the team's goal number will increase.

Jiang Shan nodded, "It seems to have some effect. These big guys can't explain it straightforwardly, so they have to use some mystery to wash their brains."

After a while, Jiangshan stopped the game again. It was not the problem of Kuranyi and Dorante, but the problem of Meng Lang's little prince Didik.

After listening to Jiang Shan's guidance, he seemed to have found the direction of the wave. He was originally slightly arrogant, but now he has entered a state of madness.

I can't wait to shoot as soon as I get the ball...

The deeper the season goes, the more problems they face. Jiangshan is also mentally prepared. There is no need to worry about the defense. It is the offense. The status of the frontcourt players fluctuates and it is difficult to control.

"Didik, come here." Jiang Shan couldn't help but stop.

Didik walked over blankly, "Boss, I did everything you asked. Don't look at your fingers, just look at the sun."

"But you don't just shoot after you get the ball!" Jiang Shan said weakly, "Even if you are having fun with a woman, you also need some foreplay, right? The necessary rhythm, do you understand?"

"Just now...that's not what you said."

Jiang Shan almost fell down. These guys had a strong sense of empathy. He gave Kuranyi instructions, and Didik also listened. His implementation was even more thorough than Kuranyi's.

"Your problem is different from theirs. You have entered another realm. You only have eyes for the goal, while before they only had eyes for dribbling."

Didik raised his head and heard what Jiang Shan said. He seemed to be better than them.

Jiang Shan didn't know if he could understand, so he had to continue, "So, when you are on the court, try not to stand face to face with the defender."

Tuchel was very smart to stand in front of Didik. He is a defender and knows how to defend. Jiang Shan grabbed Didik and turned around.

"Side, face the defender from the side, so you have more space and it's easier to handle the ball." To solve Didik's problem, Jiangshan decided to prevent him from seeing the goal.

Tuchel faced Jiangshan, who leaned against him and passed the ball. "Did you see it? In this position, I can launch an attack and at the same time observe the position of my teammates."

"About 6 meters away from you, Bastian Schweinsteiger will appear. If he wants to counterattack and reorganize, that position belongs to Durav. There is also a feint, and Powell will go to the edge."

Didik glanced at his companions and nodded quickly. Jiangshan continued, "Don't face your opponent stiffly, always observe the position of your teammates. I believe you will become a powerful attacker and provide comfortable assists for your teammates."

"I understand." Didik nodded heavily, his eyes shining.

As an amateur player, Didik was pierced by Jiangshan's guidance and his vision was suddenly enlightened, and his understanding of the game was deepened.

Tuchel hurriedly took notes, "I learned a few more tricks, which is great."

After the training, several players actually stayed to train consciously. Schweinsteiger and Hitzlsperger practiced set pieces, Kuranyi practiced shooting, and Didik walked sideways, addicted.

Young Kai wanted to leave, but he stopped to see the busy training ground.

The game before the winter break attracted much attention, and the Chinese media also appeared on the court. They were making a short video about Chinese football, and Jiangshan was naturally the best choice.

Hoffenheim broke out again, sweeping away the haze of the previous few games. Both games were 5:0 wins.

Kuranyi scored 4 goals in the two games, but only had 10 shots, which greatly improved his efficiency. The wonderful performances of several frontcourt players also attracted the attention of many teams.

One offer after another was delivered to Jiangshan's desk. To Jiangshan's surprise, "Bayern didn't recall Schweinsteiger in advance? What is Hitzfeld thinking?"
