The Ball at Your Feet

When night fell, the players of Monaco and Arsenal had finished eating and drinking at the Louis XV restaurant and came to the Monte Carlo Casino together.

Arsenal players came to Monaco to play, in fact, to help Monaco: the proceeds of this game, Monaco can make a lot of money. And an important reason why they are willing to come here is because Monaco is one of the best holiday destinations in Europe. Apart from playing football, you can also relax.

The land conditions of Monaco can be said to be unique: it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is very good in itself. The Principality of Monaco has been operating for many years. On the one hand, it has used tax-free conditions to attract foreigners to settle down. On the other hand, it uses gambling and tourism to develop itself. Monaco's tourism industry is well-known throughout Europe.

Although this city built with money is not as long as Paris, Madrid, Milan and other cities, it has a unique charm.

After Arsenal players came here, they also came to the Monte Carlo Casino-although they didn't spend much money to gamble, more often, they just drink and chat. But visiting such a place is also a good activity.

Zhao Yaning also followed them to the casino, but he didn't dare to let go of his madness. He just asked for a glass of beer, and then started talking to the Arsenal players about football and the Premier League.

The Arsenal players also seem to be willing to discuss this issue: Although they are on vacation, they are all players, and the most conversation topic is football.

"You played very well." When talking to him, several of Arsenal's famous players didn't have any pretensions. Pires took the initiative to talk to him about the game. "Your skills are very good, and it seems There is still room for improvement. I dare not say what the peak of your extraordinary ability is. If you continue like this, you will definitely have the opportunity to play in the Premier League or La Liga in the future."

Pires was talking, and he was telling him about some of his movements. Many of these details are talks of experience, and Zhao Yaning also feels that he has benefited a lot from listening.

"If you really want to go to the Premier League, you should really listen to him." Seeing Zhao Yaning listening to Pires humbly, Ashley Cole next to him also spoke, "Your skills need to be improved. There are actually a lot of places. Your coordination skills are insufficient, and you have problems with the reading ability and vision of the game. Now it depends on your speed and skills to play a bit, but in higher-level competitions, you can play like this. It’s impossible to work. The Premier League’s rhythm is faster and the game is more intense. Your style of play is basically inexhaustible when you get there, because you can only follow back and forth and run back and forth. Without the ability to cooperate, it is impossible to succeed. How many technical players in Argentina and Brazil can eat in the Premier League? The key is not small skills, speed and other things. Technical players play in the Premier League. The key is to rely on their brains."

Who said I was going to play in the Premier League? Zhao Yaning seems to have heard some problems, but he is not good at refuting the kindness of others, just listening to their guidance to himself.

"I think he has a good vision. When he is on the court, his choice of breakthrough routes is very good. Otherwise, it won't make you so embarrassed." Pires didn't give Ashley Ko at all. You face, "And his passing is also in place, but it seems... lacks some creativity. His passing is always quite satisfactory, he only dares to pass under the feet of people, all of which are transitional passes. , When you play, you don’t have enough courage and you don’t play enough to let go."

"Creativity is not something everyone has." Ashley Cole frowned.

"But he definitely did. In those few times he was very beautiful, his movements are very unique and outstanding. It's impossible for such a player to be creative, but the problem is that his brain doesn't turn much in passing the ball. He couldn't perform because he played too much. This is not a technical problem, but a psychological and habitual problem."

"Okay, Robert, this is Monaco, coach Jean Petit is here, these questions are not your turn to speak." Henry on the side spoke gently, "It may be because the level of his previous partners was too poor, and they all follow He can’t use all his imagination when playing football. This problem can be solved. Coach Petit is a good coach, and Jiuli is also a master of runners. If he is willing to study hard. If you practice hard, your progress will definitely be rapid. Maybe his future achievements will surpass yours."

Henry's words made Zhao Yaning embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Although it was praise, Zhao Yaning paid more attention to his first half of the sentence. Since arriving in Ligue 1, many coaches have attributed the problems of playing football to the habit of playing football when they were young. Zhao Yaning is a bit lamented by this statement. If he can train in the most formal team since he was a child, he should have How good.

Henry's words just made Pires smile, "I have a congenital shortcoming, it's nothing better than me. I hope that he will strive for perfection and go further. In that case, he is worthy of Arsenal."

Zhao Yaning also heard about the birth defects that Pire said: Pire has flat feet, and his feet are actually not suitable for football. With such a shortcoming, when he plays football, even on a sunny day, the action of the football looks like a muddy water. It is precisely because of this that his outstanding skills in the Premier League have never been considered top-notch, and it is slightly inferior to Giggs, who is as famous as him.

But when it comes to running positions, forward penetration, and shooting ability, Giggs has to be inferior to him. Pire's forward shooting ability is definitely one of the best in the Premier League. As a winger who takes passing as the first priority, his shooting ability is not inferior to that of a winger, which is enough to show that his level of strength is excellent. Arsenal’s two most famous offensive ideas, one is Henry going to the left and Pires, Ashley Cole exchanges to break through, the other is Henry retreating, Pires and Ljungberg advance. These two sets of tactics, Henry and Pires are absolutely indispensable people, enough to see that his role is huge.

However, Zhao Yaning was more interested in the other thing revealed in the words compared to Pire's matter.

"Worthy of Arsenal?" Zhao Yaning asked in a puzzled way.

"Today, Coach Wenger praised you fiercely in the locker room. I think he may have plans to buy you to Arsenal." Ashley Cole took the conversation. "But it should not be now, you The game is not good enough now. Even if you buy you, you can only rent out first, and it is impossible to play for Arsenal. I think Mr. Wenger meant that you will be sharpened in Ligue 1 for another year or two. When the time comes Arsenal should also need to add new blood. You can just enter Arsenal and become the main force of the new generation of the team."

This news really made Zhao Yaning feel flattered. Wenger is different from other coaches. This is the first world-class coach who favors him. And it was quite the meaning of the words, it turned out to be ready to let him succeed Pire and Ljungberg, which made him feel really surprised.

"Learn more in the future, you will become the main force of the rich." Seeing Zhao Yaning's surprise, Henry also smiled gently, "It was here that David and I became famous back then, and we have nothing special. The secret of this is to be obedient, train seriously and pay attention to football itself. As long as you do this, you will definitely be able to improve. What's more, you and players like Ludovic will shout that you will definitely be able to succeed."

Although Zhao Yaning also knew that these words were likely to be a polite remark that Henry said to encourage him, but he still felt very encouraged-after all, such words were said from Henry's mouth.

"Actually, what he should learn now is not Jiuli's style." Sitting aside quietly drinking, Bergkamp, ​​who has not spoken, suddenly said, "His speed and technique combine very well, but his running position Shooting is also pretty good. If you learn from Jiuli, Jiuli may be able to help him break through in running position and shooting ability, but that kind of winger's style of play actually limits his upper limit. He is somewhat unique when dribbling If there is not enough team, he should play more wing midfielders, which will be more beneficial to his development."

Bergkamp's words were a bit cold, and Henry's smile was dulled. He just wanted to say a few nice things to make his mother team's little brother grow up faster, but who knows, Bergkamp would consider this matter so seriously?

"How should I kick?" Zhao Yaning heard this, but immediately asked.

"Look at some aura players playing more, try to figure out their psychology, if you don’t understand, ask the coach more. Your current style of play, if you stick to it all the way, at most you can become a Ljungberg, but If you learn smarter, you might become an enhanced Pires."

Bergkamp’s words surprised Henry a bit: he did not expect Bergkamp to have such a high evaluation of Zhao Yaning.

But Bergkamp also has his own ideas: Although Zhao Yaning's dribbling skills are very good, after all, he is not as strong as Ljungberg, and the impact is definitely worse than Ljungberg. If it is still like this How to play, then this is the maximum limit. And if he can exercise his passing skills, coupled with his not bad forward consciousness and shooting, this has the basic elements of a player organization. Coupled with his superior skills, it is entirely possible that he is better than Pires.

But the prerequisite is that he can naturally develop his passing ability. Fortunately, Zhao Yaning’s collaborator is Jiuli. His speed and running ability can make Zhao Yaning pass a lot easier. If he is honed, his passing ability is very likely to be trained.

"Do learn from Pires...actually, it is best to learn Figo's way, but his style of play requires a very high quotient, which is difficult to learn. If you just learn his movements, it will be good for you. Not much help."

Bergkamp didn't say half a word: Figo's style of playing is too perfect for wide players. His style of playing makes it too easy for people to become obsessed with his skills and ignore the more important things. For Zhao Yaning, what he needs to learn is definitely not those things. Pires' excellent skills are not good, and even his actions are very ugly. Looking at his highlights, the focus can only be on his overall view.

Zhao Yaning cast his eyes on Pires.

"If you need help, just ask me." Pires agreed immediately.

Zhao Yaning nodded, and there was some excitement on his face, "I really didn't expect that talking to big-name players would be so easy to talk. When we were on the court just now, it seemed like we were going to fight, but now we are chatting together. "

"Things on the court, don't bring them down the court." Henry laughed, "and we are not big stars, we are all the same players. Although on the court, we may fight for victory, but After leaving the football field, we are not enemies."

Zhao Yaning nodded, then suddenly asked, "Then who is our enemy?"

"We have no enemies." Henry frowned. "If anyone is our enemy, then those who make football no longer pure. They are the enemy of football, and naturally our enemy. ."

After sending away Arsenal, Zhao Yaning fell into learning within the next week.

In his system, there was a third teacher, Pires. And Pires teaches him mainly to cultivate his overall view, game reading ability and pass organization ability. Although Pire's most outstanding ability is his forward penetration ability and the ability to pick up leaks in front of the door, he did not teach these when he taught Zhao Yaning.

"You can't learn those now. If you have a long-term advantage, you don't need to do those things." Pires has a very direct view of this matter. "When you play football now, the impact is very strong, which can disrupt the opponent's rhythm and defense. . But your problem now is that while playing like this, you cannot guarantee your own rhythm and observation of other people on the pitch. What you need to do now is to learn to play more atmospheric football."

Pire's teachings can be regarded as profound and simple, after all, what Zhao Yaning is showing now is more of his technical excellence, rather than the contact of aura and organizational ability. Although Pires thinks he has good organizational skills, the cultivation of this ability has always been the most laborious.

Sometimes, Pires had to let Juninho and Anelka run with him on the field to train Zhao Yaning.

"There are still few people now. If you have more, you will be able to improve faster." Sometimes, Pires looked at the people on the training ground and complained, "You'd better find someone to come in." , At least one or two guards, so that we can practice against each other."

Zhao Yaning didn't find it difficult to make such a request. He found Squillach the next day, "Teach me how to defend."

"Why do you think of learning defense? You have never been very involved in defense." Squelach relentlessly revealed Zhao Yaning's old bottom, "I remembered something, want to learn defense?"

"I think I should be involved in the defense... If my defense is not a colander, then Gevey doesn't need to be responsible for wiping my **** behind my back. Our tactics can be more varied."

Zhao Yaning’s words just made Squelach look at him suspiciously, “I don’t think there can be any changes in tactics. Defence cannot be effective in one or two days. Of course I can teach you. You can come when you want to learn. I'm fine. But if it's a defense, you'd better ask the full back. After all, I was born as a central defender. The defensive strategy of a full back is different from that of a central defender. You play mostly on the side, or Ask the defenders who often play on the wing, such as Eric."

Zhao Yaning nodded, even if he didn't say these words, Zhao Yaning would not forget them.

The second person he looked for was Abidal. Although Jive and Evra are the main players of the team, Jive is actually also a full-back, and Evra is also an offensive full-back. In comparison, although Abidal is also a full-back, he has played for a long time at full-back, so Zhao Yaning is also easy to find him.

Abidal was very talkative, and he readily agreed to Zhao Yaning's request. Therefore, when Zhao Yaning entered his system again, he had two guards.

Then, he found Jiuli again—Juli had promised to teach him a long time ago, and now that he heard that Zhao Yaning wanted to learn, he naturally agreed quickly.

But when he entered the space, he found the problem: Abidal and Squillach here are obviously not what they look like in Monaco now, but what they look like after they have fully matured. In the space, they are already about 30 years old. Although Zhao Yaning doesn't know how they will play in the future, they have reached a very high level of experience and consciousness at the age of 30, which is undoubtedly a lot more difficult.

"What we have to do now is to pass the ball to me or his feet under the guard of three people." Pires pointed to Giuly, "We are training three-on-three, Juninho temporarily serves as the midfielder, and Si Quillach and Jiuli cooperate with him, and the three of them defend you together, while Jiuli and I are running on the sidelines, you find a way to pass the ball to our feet."

Pires did not let Anelka participate in this training. Although Anelka is also a very smart player, his style of play has always been to save energy and ignore others. This style is not Suitable for teaching students.

The three-on-three football match is definitely not played like this. If in the team training, it is impossible to only train Zhao Yaning, even if it is targeted training, it will not let Squelach and Abidal balls. The team's main player is doing sparring for him. But here is another matter. This is Zhao Yaning's training space. Others are centering on him and training his kicking ability, which makes his skills rise extremely fast.

And Zhao Yaning also had to admit that the defensive abilities of Squillaci and Abidal, who were about 30 years old, were really strong. When the two of them defended Zhao Yaning, it was very difficult for Zhao Yaning to break through them and had to consider passing. The ball comes to solve the problem. And Juninho, who was cruising next to him, also tried to intercept his pass, which made Zhao Yaning's pass even more difficult. If it weren't for Pires and Giuly both are experts in running positions, his passes have not been able to pass a few times. successful.

And Pire and Jiuli used their running positions to train Zhao Yaning.

It has to be said that Zhao Yaning's training system is very good, with world-class players working hard and working as a sparring partner. With such training conditions, the world can't find a second one.

At the same time, when he was training like this, he also became familiar with Jiuli's running habits by the way, and he became more and more adept at cooperating with him.

A week later, when he was on the court in Monaco, he was able to train with Jiuli in training.

"Your progress is really amazing. I have never seen such a rapid rate of progress." Speaking of this, Jiuli felt puzzled. When Zhao Yaning first came, he looked very jerky~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but nothing. In just two weeks, he was able to become so familiar with his running habits, and to cooperate with him in various ways. Isn't your running habits so simple that they can't stand scrutiny?

Zhao Yaning could only smile at this. He couldn't explain the periods of his own system. Although it was misunderstood that his talent was a bit shameless, he could only admit that at this time.

"It's okay to play like this, wait until the next game, otherwise, you will be in serious trouble."

What Jiuli said reminded Zhao Yaning.

In the next game, Monaco will play against Juventus.

The hegemon of Italian football, one of the strongest teams in Europe, the old woman Juventus.

"But don't worry too much. When the game comes, there will be an outstanding player in our lineup." Speaking of this, Jiuli smiled at Zhao Yaning, "Moreover, this person's position is very related to you. Great, because he plays as a right back, and if nothing else, he will be our main right back."

The main right back?

Zhao Yaning was a little surprised. Now he is behind Jiwei. Although Jiwei plays well and is very conscientious, he is a central defender. After all, he is not very suitable for full-backs. He has very few assists. It is against Zhao Yaning. The help is limited, which is what Zhao Yaning has always felt sorry for.

"You may also have heard of this person. He played with us last season, and he is also a player in the Italian national team. He has always been at a good level..."

"Christian Panucci?" Zhao Yaning remembered who Jiuli was talking about.

"Yes, something went wrong in the negotiation between Chris and the club." Jiuli nodded, "He might stay in Monaco."
