The Ball at Your Feet

Zhao Yaning felt flattered to be invited by Deschamps. Although Deschamps coaching Monaco this year was a mess, and ended up with a relegation team, but as long as he thinks of Deschamps' outstanding achievements in the French national team and Juventus in previous years, Zhao Yaning feels inexplicably excited.

This is a real big-name star. The former captain of the French national team, one of the best midfielders in the world.

Zhang Yuan doesn't like the French team. He is a Brazilian fan. He always complains a lot about the French team, the winner of the 1998 World Cup. He has always insisted on conspiracy theories and political theories, thinking that the reason for France's victory was fluke.

But let alone Squealach, Zhao Yaning sometimes felt that he was too persistent. Although the French team's attack line in 1998 was a mess, the defensive line can be said to be the best in football history. Although Brazil has Ronaldo, both of their midfielders have fallen to the point of playing in the J-League. How can they win when they meet a strong midfielder like France? Football is not a personal game. No matter how strong the individual is, there are times when it is powerless.

Deschamps' defensive strength, defensive area, pre-judgment of the ball path, and the first goal after the ball is taken are all rare in the world. And his partner Pettit, the ability to pass the ball to the frontcourt after taking the ball is first-class, coupled with the tacit cooperation of the two, and the support of Callumbo, formed a strong midfielder in France. In 2000, Karenbu left and replaced with Vieira, whose defensive ability was at his peak, to ensure France's Grand Slam championship.

Not to mention anything else, before Deschamps left the French national team, Makelele had no chance to play in the national team. Seeing that Makelele can now sit in the middle of Real Madrid, you can also know how good Deschamps was back then.

Zhao Yaning stayed in France for a year. Apart from being fascinated by his eyes, he also had a good impression of French football. Therefore, when he heard that it was Deschamps who wanted to see him, he also felt extremely happy.

Because of this, he soon left Ajaccio with Zhang Yuan and mortgaged and came to Monaco.

Monaco's results this season can be said to be extremely bad.

As a rookie, Deschamps took over Monaco last season, and once he arrived in the team, he made some drastic reforms. Before him, Monaco, like other Ligue 1 teams, had a great voice in foreign aid. The two big-time forwards Simeone and Gallardo were almost the same in Monaco. But after Deschamps took over, he put them aside without saying anything. As long as he didn't obey the order, he would never give them any chance. He rented Simeone to AC Milan, delegated Gallardo, and then began to rebuild the lineup.

If he is pursuing dissidents, it is not at all. Even if it was Rothen, who he had signed himself, he had already obeyed Jiuli, and because he was lazy on the training ground, he was transferred to the reserve team without saying anything-that was on the eve of Monaco's match against Lyon. The decentralization of the two most important players attracted the team's big boss, Prince Albert II of Monaco, to intercede for them in person. But Deschamps didn't save any face, and made it clear that he would rather lose the game than spare two people lightly. Fortunately, Monaco won that game, and Rothen and Gyuli quickly recognized their mistakes, apologized to Deschamps and found their place.

After a season, the Monaco team lost consecutively and has been hovering in the relegation zone. The media has always hyped him for being a staid person, not knowing how to work it out, and even promoted the fifteen bans he nailed to the door of the locker room, thinking that he was unkind and a failed guy.

But Zhao Yaning knew that was not the case. When Squelach mentioned him privately, it was definitely not without reason from the complaints at the beginning of the season to the admiration at the end of the season. Deschamps did sacrifice a season's performance, but Monaco has also completed the update, and the decadent style left by the Tigana period has been swept away, and it has become a disciplined and tactical team.

Squillach obviously knew more in detail, but he refused to elaborate on Zhao Yaning. After all, the things in the dressing room, as a Monaco player, he can hear from his peers, but he can't say it. This is the consensus of the football world. But his attitude was enough for Zhao Yaning to have some interest in Deschamps.

And I met Deschamps in a bar in Monaco.

This surprised Zhao Yaning. Generally speaking, football players don't have much exposure to alcohol. As a coach, meeting a player in a bar is really weird.

"If you want to drink something, feel free to overdo it. Outside the court, you don't have to be too restrictive." Deschamps and Zhao Yaning greeted them, and did not get up. But even though he said that, Zhao Yaning still only needed a glass of beer, took a sip and put it down.

Deschamps saw his movements in his eyes and didn't say anything, but he nodded.

"I don't want to talk any more nonsense. You were introduced to me by Jean Petit, and he said you are a good player. I have seen your game video. I think you are the kind of player I need. If you follow me If you do, you can make a difference, and I can further strengthen Monaco’s lineup."

Deschamps spoke concisely, which made Zhao Yaning also find him quite happy. But happiness is not everything. Zhao Yaning felt that it was necessary to ask more clearly.

"Excuse me, what role do you want me to play?"

Zhao Yaning’s question is not unexpected for Deschamps. "I hope you can become a powerful tactical part of the team. What needs to be played is mainly two aspects. First, your speed and Breakthrough ability is an important means for the team to make rapid progress. Second, I hope your breakthrough ability and your long-range shooting ability can become an effective tool for the team in the tough battle. Roten is good at long passes, and Jiuli is even better. All-round, but they don't have your breakthrough ability. The Monaco team needs a breakthrough player. I hope you can help me make up for this shortcoming."

Deschamps doesn’t modify his intentions very much. “I have no intention of making you the core of the team. Your organizational skills and finishing ability are not top-notch. You can play more of a supporting role. I hope you Make a tactical imposition, and I believe you can do your best."

Although this was a bit unacceptable, Zhao Yaning felt that Deshang could tell the truth.

"Mr. Deschamps, in fact, I am more concerned about what kind of growth I can achieve. I think I am not too old now, and I should pay more attention to the exercise and study of skills."

Zhao Yaning’s words made Deschamps nodded, “I understand what you mean. I’ve just been a coach and I’m not very familiar with technical training. If you transfer to Monaco, your technical training will be done by Jean Petit. The coach will do it. He has been observing you for a long time, and there is no doubt about his level. I believe you will benefit a lot."

"But his training is also completed under your guidance, right? I want to ask, if I go to Monaco, which part of the training do you want me to pay attention to first?"

Deschamps paused this time before speaking, "I am a new coach, so Mr. Jean Petit just let me be in charge of tactical matters. Player training is the foundation of the team. He doesn't let me interfere too much. But he He did tell me where he wants you to develop."

"Mr. Petit believes that a technical player obsessed with strength training is a stupid thing. Your strength is enough and there is no need to strengthen training. What you should pay more attention to is your physical training. Technical players can. To avoid excessive physical contact through smart running and excellent awareness, but the technical deformation caused by physical exertion is unavoidable. Therefore, physical exercise is more important."

It sounds reasonable.

"Secondly, he hopes to train your passing skills. Your long shots are very good. If you can cooperate with good passing skills, you will become more threatening after you move closer to the center. Also, you last season Play more cautiously, if you can develop a good ability to pass threats, then your threat will be greatly enhanced."

"Again, it's your technical movements. Your talents are very good, your physical condition is good, and the basic skills are considered excellent. But you have not been able to further condense and sublimate these movements to make them completely your own. Technology. You have not found the breakthrough technology that suits you best. Mr. Petit is willing to help you find the most suitable way to play."

These words made Zhao Yaning extremely emotional. I can hear that Coach Petit did work on him, and his reputation guarantees that he will be successful in training Zhao Yaning. For Zhao Yaning, this is enough.

But Cordia, who was sitting aside, still had some doubts.

"Mr. Deschamps, I still have some questions. As everyone knows, Monaco's Rothen and Giuly are a very good pair of wings. If you buy Joey, how do you arrange the positions of the three of them?"

"I haven't figured it out yet." Deschamps is very frank. "Rothen's long pass, Gyuli's running position and his breakthrough will be my three weapons. But how to make them better run in. I have not thought yet. Good. I can’t just assert the positions of the three of them based on my imagination. I have to go through real training before I can determine how to play. I prefer Jiuli to play in the middle, so that their advantages can be compatible, but I dare not assert that I can succeed before cooperating. Perhaps it is more likely that they are not compatible and have to play two of them, while the third is off the court as a rotation substitute."

These words made Zhao Yaning's enthusiasm drop somewhat. Who will be the substitute? Jiuli is the absolute main force, so the substitute is naturally one of him and Roten. It seems that the competitiveness is not small.

"Okay, then I have one more question." Cordia is only responsible for asking things out. After all, the decision is Zhao Yaning's own business, and he doesn't mention it any more. "This year's Monaco results are not very good. I want to ask. What is Monaco's goal for next year?"

"We played badly this year. This is my problem." Deschamps spoke without hesitation at all. "But next year, Monaco's goal is only the championship."
