The Ball at Your Feet

The game against Wilham was Liverpool's first friendly match this summer.

This game is not difficult. Wilham is a Welsh team that played in League One. Although the game was played away in Liverpool, for Liverpool now, this game is a game of looking for status and confidence.

The game went on as smoothly as the Liverpool players imagined.

In the first half, Liverpool’s defense line did not change much, while the frontcourt, Morientes, Zhao Yaning, Gerrard, Figo, Alonso, and Haman appeared as the frontcourt lineup, and the game took less than five minutes. , Zhao Yaning relied on this opportunity to counterattack, directly dribbling the ball 30 meters for an assault and scored a goal for Liverpool.

And in the 23rd minute, Liverpool passed the frontcourt collaboration. Later, Figo went straight into the penalty area, assisted Morientes, and successfully scored again.

In the second half of the game, Liverpool made substantial substitutions. Milito, Garcia, Kewell, Smicer, Arteta and Sissoko replaced the entire frontcourt. In the backcourt, Maicon replaced Finn. South, Renner substitute Dudek, Liverpool, who changed eight people in one breath, obviously wanted to use opponents to test their bench lineup.

And Liverpool played well in the second half. First, Garcia assisted Milito and scored a goal. Then, Liverpool’s free kick was shot from a long distance by Riise and blasted into the net.

The 4-0 score won the game, and Liverpool's new season can be regarded as the beginning. But at this time, Zhao Yaning was still a little dissatisfied with the status quo.

Although this lineup is already very strong, it can even be said that it is not much stronger than last year, but he does not know how to play.

Last year, Liverpool’s frontcourt was almost entirely engineer-type players. Baroche, Riise, Garcia... these people have a hard time playing autonomous offensive abilities. Almost all of them are guided by him. His degree of freedom is very large.

And this year, Milito gradually kicked out and began to need opportunities and the ball. Figo came to Liverpool, and he never came to be an engineer. After Gerrard's position was advanced, Zhao Yaning was naturally not embarrassed to take his chance. As a result, Zhao Yaning felt that the frontcourt organization was more troublesome.

Moreover, the three strikers of Liverpool also have their own characteristics. Morientes has a lot of experience, and he has the best tacit understanding with him. He has strong abilities in all kinds of balls, running positions and coping. But Milito's shooting skills are better, he has a better awareness of grab points, and in terms of his ability to cooperate, although he is not the best, but he is also fully qualified. The characteristics of Fowler are different. His spirituality, technique, and consciousness are the best of the three, but his physical condition has declined too much, and he himself is not a hardworking person, he has never worked with him before, and it takes time. Come and learn how to cooperate with him.

Why was the card I got when I was in the Confederations Cup in the summer but it was useless.

In the summer of the Confederations Cup, after the game with the German team, he exchanged jerseys with Ballack. Originally, he thought it was a big game anyway, and the card he gave should be good, but when he went back, he couldn't laugh or cry.

The card exchanged with Barak was a white card called the ‘year-old second’.

The ability of this card is even more speechless: a one-time card, which can only be used in a cup match, whether it is a club or a national team. After use, in a cup match, before entering the finals, all abilities in the match 3. Enter After the finals, all abilities -5.

When he got the card, Zhao Yaning was still holding grievances for Barak. Although Ballack is indeed a bit tragic, the club won the Sanya king, and the national team is also the runner-up of the World Cup, but it shouldn't be so ridiculed, right?

But soon, he figured out how to use this card: there is no need to think about the club game. If he really dared to enter the finals, he would be scolded for a game with all his abilities -5 at the critical moment. Small, the club's performance can not afford to sacrifice. However, it couldn't be better to use this in the World Cup. Anyway, what the Chinese team needs to consider is only the issue of qualifying in the group, the finals? What is that stuff? For the Chinese team, there is no need to think about it.

This card was saved by him for later use.

In his summer, the main training was a variety of shooting skills, especially penalty kicks. Before the holiday, his shot was already 18 on the numerical display, but he knew that he would definitely not be able to reach it. Sure enough, after a summer of hard work, his shot dropped to 17.

However, this result is quite satisfactory to him. At least, his training has had an effect. Although it may be counterproductive, it is better than no effect.

And his biggest improvement in the summer was the penalty kick. After the extra training at the end of last season and the extra training before the Confederations Cup, plus the extra training after coming back, he improved his penalty kick to 15. After using the point card, his penalty kick , It turned out to be as high as 18.

However, such an increase in data does not seem to be enough for Zhao Yaning. Technical improvement can be done step by step, but he has no idea how to organize the team better.

The team is getting stronger and stronger, but his positioning of himself is somewhat blurred.

"Joy, after we went back, we held a welcome party for Fowler in Melwood. This is a rare occasion when the club promised us to drink in the training base. You must participate." On the bus back, Jie Rad interrupted Zhao Yaning's thoughts, "We are going to celebrate."

His words made Zhao Yaning also temporarily stop thinking.

In fact, to say it is a welcome to Fowler, it is better to say it is a common welcome meeting for all new transfers. It's just that Fowler was Liverpool's darling once, and everyone directly said it was a welcome for him.

And this, Fowler also knows. In the evening party, he did not always consider himself the protagonist, but communicated with everyone very easily.

Fowler is a very smart person, Zhao Yaning had heard of this a long time ago. And among the new players, there is another very smart person who is Figo. These two people are here, and there is no cold spot for this Liverpool party. Everyone's new and old players quickly get acquainted with each other.

Zhao Yaning has been chatting with the newly recruited Sissoko. Both of them came from Ligue 1 and have played many games. They admire each other very much. When they talk about the sky, they also have a common language.

At this time, Arteta also came up to say a few words, he also played in Paris, and talked about some old things in Ligue 1, but a few people can talk very well.

"Joy, you played well today. Have fun." Garcia drank too much. He took Figo and walked over. "See him? From now on, you just want to follow him to learn how to play. The ball!"

Zhao Yaning looked at Figo. He did not expect that Figo would let Garcia, a Catalan, forgive him for his betrayal so quickly.

Sure enough, he is a capable person.

"Leave him alone, Rafa said, let me share my experience with you and help each other. I play for a longer time, and there are things that can teach you. You have played in the Premier League for a year, and there are also things that you can teach. Give it to me." Figo smiled, "Help each other."

Zhao Yaning nodded without saying a word.

"Something in your mind? Actually, I know if you don't tell me." Figo smiled, "Are you thinking, how to use the wing player's identity to instigate the team's attack?"

His question stunned Zhao Yaning.

This guy is too smart, right? How does he know what he thinks?

"Don't look at me like that. Rafa told me about your problem, and I saw that your unhappiness occurred during the game, so I took the liberty to ask, it seems, I bet By the way." Figo smiled, "So, you really have been thinking about football."

Zhao Yaning nodded slightly, which also made Figo laugh, "I really didn’t expect it...I’m not accusing you, I mean I didn’t expect that you were really thinking about football. At your age, like this. Fame...well, I admit, geniuses are extraordinary, you and Qi Zu are the same and different."

Zhao Yaning laughed, completely unaware of Figo's unremarkable flattery. He is a player from Ligue 1, and he is naturally extremely happy to hear others compare him to Qi Zu.

"In fact, your problem is easy to solve." Figo said, "It's just a question of thinking and choice. When playing football, what you should do the first time, this is your biggest question, right Right?"

Zhao Yaning nodded.

"Your biggest problem now is that you play too casually when you are on the court. Indeed, your ability is very strong, but the problem is, strong ability is a good thing, but how to use it is another matter. ."

Figo was still surprised by Zhao Yaning's level. Although I have seen Zhao Yaning play before and know that his level is not bad, but after training together, he has learned more and more about Zhao Yaning's strength, and his surprise has become stronger and stronger.

Control, attack coverage, assault ability, and even quite good anti-grab enthusiasm, such a player is definitely at the Golden Globe level.

He is not stupid to play ~www.ltnovel.com~ is very brainy, the choice of passing and breakthrough is very good, and there are often amazing things to show up. But his problem is that when he plays, he always thinks about everything. He has fast speed and good physical strength, so his running range is too large, from midfield control to frontcourt advancement to shots on the front line. He wants to manage everything. Although this style of play has greatly improved his various stats, it is still not enough for the team.

What he needs is experience. The experience of how to play. These things are not something you can have with your mind, but you have to grind them out a little bit by experience. And if you don't want to be so polished, the best way is to have an excellent player guide.

Figo also understands that this is what he has to do.

"Joy, you are relatively young, and may not be very clear-have you watched the 1986 World Cup?"

Zhao Yaning nodded, which made Figo also admired. Zhao Yaning's serious attitude was also one of the inevitable elements of his success. In the World Cup matches over the years, there have been some extremely exciting duels, and the familiarity of these matches is of great help to a person's strength.

"So, do you remember Maradona's performance?" Figo said, "That's your role model to follow."
