The Ball at Your Feet

Zhao Yaning did not participate in the Montpellier game, but when he was at his own home, he bought himself a new thing.

He bought a table tennis ball machine to help him train his reaction speed. This training method was recommended to him by Morientes, but Morientes's suggestion was to let him play against the wall with a racket, and he changed to using a ball machine to train.

"I really don't understand that training football requires special equipment for table tennis." Zhang Yuan, who gave him this thing, was very interested in this thing. "They are not all leaning against the wall. Throwing tennis balls, or ping pong **** for training?"

"That kind of training doesn't help me much." Zhao Yaning shook his head. "My reaction speed is not very slow. Throwing a tennis ball is a little easier for me, and playing table tennis against the wall is really impossible. What’s challenging, I’m good at playing table tennis. Things like that have no effect on me. After all, I’m different from them. Since I want to train, I just follow my own method.”

If you are a European, it's okay to train your reaction speed against the wall with the beat, but for Zhao Yaning, this method is not very desirable. First of all, his own table tennis skills are good, it is not difficult to judge the ball's trend at all, and he can't exercise his reaction speed by doing this. Secondly, it is also because the reaction speed of the yellow race is inherently superior. This kind of exercise is not enough to make him reach the upper limit. Compared with that method, it is still more comfortable to use a ball machine.

"It seems that your training method like this is no longer the training method used by the French? Are you sure it works?" Zhang Yuan was a little doubtful, "Is it really useful for you to train like this?"

"We Chinese don't have a football tradition. How should I practice? Don't I have to try a little bit?" Zhao Yaning replied, "Anyway, it's just a reaction speed training. I think I can try it."

"Just relax yourself, don't cause trouble." Zhang Yuan looked at Zhao Yaning, "And don't cause trouble again in the future. This time your team has been suspended, and the domestic media reported that it caused a lot of trouble. Many people call Deschamps an idiot."

"The media is just a bunch of bastards." Zhao Yaning cursed.

Zhang Yuan smiled and didn't argue with him.

In Zhang Yuan's opinion, this matter is purely to blame Deshang-what are you doing in a fuss? Zhao Yaning played very well, exploding the opponent's defense line so much, not to mention a few words of praise, but also grasping a little bit of trivial matters and making a fuss, really meaningless. Morality, can that stuff be eaten?

Fortunately, this matter has gone wrong. Originally, Deschamps' criticism might have to let people talk about Zhao Yaning's immoral behavior, but now the media has brought the topic of racial discrimination, which is different. It is Zhao Yaning's persecution that now stands out, not Zhao Yaning's moral issues.

However, this kind of thing also made Zhang Yuan see a lot of things that made him uneasy: as Zhao Yaning's reputation grew, he would definitely suffer more such troubles. Zhang Yuan doesn't care about Zhao Yaning's endorsement fee, after all, no one will ignore the big domestic market. But if this goes on, Zhao Yaning will definitely not occupy all the selections. Last year, he met his stupid opponent, Meeks, to kill himself, but he will not have good luck every year in the future.

It's time to think of a way to establish a personal image for Zhao Yaning.

"The media? That's the kind of thing." Zhang Yuan didn't discuss this issue in depth. Some things should be handled by himself. "I saw you this time, and I have something to tell you. You know about Daewoo's injury. Huh? It seems serious."

In this training for the national team, Li Jinyu was seriously injured in the game against the Haitian team. His diagnosis in the United States was a rupture of the medial ligament and anterior cruciate ligament of the right leg. He has now undergone surgery in Los Angeles.

"Now he is still recovering from his injury, and he may have to undergo another operation. I think, in your name, help him and bring him to France. You know, for the cruciate ligament, surgery is not the key, the key is It is to recover after the operation, and to bring him, we can be regarded as helping him."

"Of course it's okay." Zhao Yaning was a little strange. "When did you care about the injuries of domestic football players so much?"

"Help our hometown team do something, they want to bring in Daewoo." Zhang Yuan took this issue lightly.

Zhao Yaning looked at Zhang Yuan. He knew that Zhang Yuan had been doing the clubs he asked to do. Many things in China cannot be done with money. What Zhang Yuan does is probably also related to that thing.

"And when I came this time, there is one more thing I want to tell you." Zhang Yuan looked a little embarrassed when he spoke. "There is something in China this time. I want you to discuss it with the club. Actually, I said. To be simpler, it is about the Olympic Games of the National Olympic Team..."

"The country wants me to participate in the Olympic team competition?" Zhao Yaning understood immediately, but this question made him a little bit difficult. "There is no such rule... Going back to the country to participate in the national team competition, delayed the club game, in the club It can still make sense here, but it really doesn’t make sense if the Olympic team has to participate in the competition."

In football in European countries, the Olympics is after all a dispensable event. Football has never regarded Olympic honors as champions. Really strong teams rarely care about the Olympics. For example, Germany has never played in the Olympic Games since 1988. Even let alone the Olympics, it is the Toulon Cup where Chinese players performed well. Some powerful countries in Europe also directly sent the second team to participate. In their eyes, there is a European Youth Championship that is more important.

And generally speaking, players who have already entered the national team rarely pay attention to youth team-level matches. Zhao Yaning is now the main player of Monaco, and has played for the national team many times. If he goes to participate in the Olympic Games, it will not make sense.

Last year, Monaco's game was not nervous and he was allowed to go back to participate in the Asian Games, but during that time, Monaco was catching up with Rothen and was injured. As a result, neither of the wingers could play, and the result was a five-round tie. . This year Monaco has more to play in the Champions League, and the competition is even more tense, but this time it is going to play in the Olympic Games, which is not justified.

"I'll discuss this matter. My idea is that the Olympic games are relatively scattered, and the six games are not together. Please report your name first. Let's take a look. After all, it is already after March. I guess. At that time, the Monaco Champions League is over, and the cup will not be a heavy task. If the situation is not in a hurry, you can leave it alone. If the situation is critical then you can go to the competition. And the domestic value of the Olympic Games is definitely willing To avoid your national team games, let you play the Olympic team games. So maybe we can discuss with Deschamps, play less national team games, let you play two Olympic team games, inside and outside Just don't let Monaco suffer."

By March, the Champions League had entered the quarter-finals. In Zhang Yuan's view, Monaco thought of that step too hard for the quarter-finals. That being the case, why can't Zhao Yaning play a few domestic games?

"Stop the national team game and play the Olympic team game?" Zhao Yaning shook his head, "What kind of game is the Olympic team game, but it's just a youth team game. It can be so important."

"You also know how important the Olympic games are in our country. Although the Football Association doesn't value it and the players and teams don't care, the General Administration of Sports only recognizes the Olympics. Those guys don't look down on the Asian Cup, the World Cup or something. , They recognize an Olympics."

After all, the official title of the General Administration of Sports is bigger than that of the Football Association. They value which one is more important, which is more important. Since they attach more importance to the Olympics, then the Olympic team competition is naturally extremely important.

Such a manager... Zhao Yaning could only shake his head and smile.

"If that time, Monaco has not been eliminated in the Champions League?" Zhao Yaning suddenly remembered something and asked, "If we reach the quarterfinals, the quarterfinals, what about the finals?"

"Dreaming?" Zhang Yuan shook his head and smiled, "You are not Real Madrid. However, if that is the case, then it is really troublesome-neither of us can offend either of them."

-------------------------------------

The match between Monaco and Montpellier ended in Monaco defeating Montpellier 2:1.

Although Zhao Yaning did not play, Monaco won the final victory. Monaco was strong enough in the game, Montpellier is just a relegation team, Monaco's victory is not difficult.

"Our next game is against Toulouse. Three days after Toulouse is against AEK Athens, and then Guingamp. We have to be more serious in the game. The schedule for the week-to-week match will be tighter. You have to work harder. "

When Deschamps spoke, although serious, he was not nervous. Toulouse, AEK Athens and Guingamp are not strong teams. The strength of Monaco is not difficult to achieve three victories, but the physical exertion may be greater.

"Joy, in these few games, you can run more. You are the main player of the team. This game has just been off the rotation. If you have the strength, you can play well."

Deschamps no longer mentioned the suspension of the previous period, which can be regarded as giving enough respect to Zhao Yaning. Zhao Yaning nodded without saying anything.

In the next game against Toulouse, Giuly was ordered by Deschamps to rest. He let Pulsau and Morientes act as double forwards at the same time, and Zhao Yaning and Rothen were on both sides, provoking the game.

From the beginning of the game, Monaco completely controlled the situation. As the Ligue 1 lifts, Toulouse and Monaco are too far apart in strength, and it is naturally unlikely to beat Monaco.

In the twenty-fifth minute of the game, after Zhao Yaning attracted attention from the right, he passed the ball to the center. Pulsau's header was saved by the goalkeeper, but Morientes made a supplementary shot to make it into the goal.

"Gooooal!!!!!! Morientes' first goal in the league this season! A good score! After the Spanish striker came to Monaco, he recovered quite well. After scoring in the Champions League, he scored again in this game. He has gotten the ball, and if this continues, his state is really restored. It seems that Spain may really be able to win a seat for himself in the European Cup."

The reason why Morientes moved to Monaco is naturally known to everyone. In order to get a seat in the national team is the most important thing~www.ltnovel.com~ and his demonstrated strength is indeed satisfying.

In the 40th minute, Zhao Yaning dribbled the ball and wiped it into the penalty area. Morientes led the defender away from the defensive position, and Zhao Yaning took a long shot and got into the goal.

"Zhao Yaning's fifth goal in the league! This makes Zhao Yaning the number one scorer in Monaco! After Deschamps changed his position, his progress has been rapid. This season, what kind of progress can he make and how he has become? It’s hard to say about the players."

Zhao Yaning's five goals were actually scored in four games. After moving his position to the middle, his shooting opportunities have greatly increased, and his shooting technique has also improved. It is still very easy to say what kind of results can be achieved.

In the second half, Monaco simply replaced Morientes with Albayo, which was purely a way of playing as a substitute for the underdog.

“It’s not unusual to change forwards in the game. But in this game, it’s strange enough to start with Pulsau and Morientes as the starters. It’s strange enough to change players. A high center forward... Does Monaco have to make himself a team flying in the sky?"

However, the commentator obviously mistaken Adebayor's playing characteristics. Although he is tall, Adebayor's header is not a strong point. His advantage is his skill at the feet.

After 70 minutes of the game, Zhao Yaning made a few simple passes in the middle and Adebayor, and then rushed into the penalty area. He rushed to the goal post with the ball, and then pushed the ball back near the penalty spot with a kick. Adebayor took a shot and pushed the ball into the goal.

"Monaco's third goal! Great Monaco! The strength of Monaco is indeed the best of France! Let me see where they can do it!"
