The Ball at Your Feet

: 86 The Road Ahead

Deschamps simply agreed to Zhao Yaning's return to China to participate in the competition, which made Zhang Yuan as an agent feel a little unimaginable.

Although in accordance with the customary rules between the club and the national team, the national team recruits people, the club generally cannot object. But that kind of regulation, after all, is limited to the national team, not even the youth team. The Chinese team’s practice of recalling the players who have already been the main players in the club to play in the youth team, if they encounter some unopened coaches, even if they can agree, they will complain for a long time, and they will definitely not be so happy.

But after Zhang Yuan talked with Zhao Yaning for a day, he understood Deschamps' thoughts: Deschamps' goal is not how to value the opportunity for the youth team to play, his goal is to teach Zhao Yaning the most basic dedication. These things, in his opinion, are more important than grades.

This also made Zhang Yuan admire a few words privately: Only such a responsible coach can teach outstanding players and lead an outstanding team. If it’s in China, those coaches will definitely not do this, and maybe they will support the players’ ideas and help the players pretend to be sick and avoid the call of the national team. If they do, the results of this season will indeed be preserved, but for For young players, when they encounter some trouble, they think about how to avoid them by small means and how to pass by small skills. There is no professionalism, no sense of responsibility, and there is no way to make progress.

Compared with foreigners' football training experience and football training courses, these advanced ideas are more worth learning. Chinese Sports is coaching football under the guidance of the gold medal theory. It has never succeeded. However, the more it fails, the more it becomes the gold medal theory. As a result, it is getting farther and farther away from the gold medal. Changing ages, pretending to be injured, ranking seniority, and dealing with black money, these things have appeared in Chinese football. In the final analysis, they are all caused by Chinese football only knowing the results and ignoring other things. Unfortunately, Chinese football still hasn't noticed. at this point.

After the Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty engaged in industry for a long time to save the country, it was proved impossible and only then embarked on the road of reform and revolution. As for Chinese football, how long does it take to be technically superstition, how long is tactical superstition, and how long does it take to fawn on foreigners to get on the right path? In other things in China, theory is combined with practice, and theory guides practice. Why do you no longer attach importance to upper-level thinking when it comes to football?

The wonderful shots of the Ligue 1 league are all wonderful, so the players also admire their outstanding ability. La Liga puts great shots, all of which are beautiful throughs, so the players also respect the passing ability. England puts great shots, mixed with a lot of iron and violent defense, so when the players play, they always foul and hurt people. China likes to show championship shots. In this way, naturally some people will trick some crooked ways to win the championship—whatever they advocate, they will naturally get what they want.

But these things are all complaints in private. Today's Chinese football, but can not mention these. Learning from Europe, learning from advanced football, and following the pace of commercialization are their slogans. For those upper-level leaders who don't understand football at all, the ones who make sense are fools.

"But if you leave now, the impact on Monaco is indeed not small." After Zhang Yuan was grateful to Deschamps, he began to worry about this year's Monaco results.

Zhang Yuan does not care about the life and death of Monaco, but Zhao Yaning is now a Monaco player. How he plays in Monaco is directly related to his influence. Now that the World Cup has passed for some time, Zhao Yaning’s influence has diminished a lot, and with the Chinese team’s participation in the World Cup, the Chinese team’s reputation has also grown. After the World Cup, many Chinese players have tried to go abroad. Some people didn't have enough means to do it, but there are still a few who have successfully studied abroad. Most of the leagues these people are in are the Premier League and Bundesliga. These are all domestically broadcast leagues. Coupled with the bragging of some domestic people, their reputation has now surpassed Zhao Yaning's trend.

Zhang Yuanqing clearly remembered a sentence from the domestic commentator when he was watching the Milan game: "The characteristic of this player is that he can run very well, but Li Gang can run better."

The shameless remarks made by the CCTV commentator made Zhang Yuanlei not light, no matter how much Milan sinks, the bad boat still has three catties, how can it compare with Everton's players with the main force? Since then, he has also come to understand that Zhao Yaning’s Ligue 1 league is not broadcast on CCTV in China, and it can only be the weekly highlights in the weekly football program. If this continues, his influence will definitely be surpassed by those few people. Zhao Yaning has no foundation in China, and no one speaks for him in China. Unless he can have much greater achievements than others, playing in Ligue 1 will sooner or later be obscured.

And if you want to be remembered, the best way is to get some results. After all, there will always be a small number of people who have time to watch the football in front of the TV, and the majority of people only watch the report after the game. If there are some achievements, then the popularity can be maintained.

Monaco this season, although not seen before the season, but the strength is still there after all. And these few games have been playing well, it looks like it is about to rebound. Although Zhang Yuan doesn't play much now, but after all he played from a small football team, the general situation of the game is still understandable. If Monaco plays like this, it will definitely look like a strong team.

But if Zhao Yaning leaves...Without such a powerful breakthrough point as Zhao Yaning, I am afraid that Monaco will be in a lot of trouble to kick the ball.

Although the competition in Ligue 1 is fierce this season, Monaco is not without opportunities. If Zhao Yaning missed the league championship because of participating in an Asian Games, Zhang Yuan would have to scold his mother.

But if you don't go, it's even more impossible. The Football Association has never been a reasonable office, and it is no good to quarrel with them.

This matter is really troublesome.

"Don't worry too much." Zhao Yaning felt that it didn't matter. "Our competitors, in the final analysis, are Lyon and Paris. Although Marseille has been good this season, the offensive power of the striker is insufficient. The game before I left was against Lyon. The first game after I came back was against Paris. As long as these two games are won, it will help us to win the championship."

"Take them all down? Are you sure against Lyon or against Paris?" Zhang Yuan asked curiously.

"I'm not sure..." Zhao Yaning shook his head and laughed. "But football games are always interesting because they are not sure that they will win. The outcome is determined before the game starts. It is a table tennis game. What is the meaning of the competition? If I am confident now, then how can I still have the motivation to improve?"

"It's still growing in the days to come. It should be mine, and no one can take it away. What I want to take, I can always get it."

In the game against Rennes, Monaco ushered in a rare rest period-next weekend was supposed to face Nantes, and was moved to midweek. The reason is to avoid the weekend. The European Super Cup game.

The match at the end of August is a match between Real Madrid and Feyenoord, but it does not affect Monaco's schedule. But the problem is that their venue was held at Monaco's home stadium, Louis II Stadium, which affected the Monaco team's game to some extent. Although Monaco had already played an away game against Rennes on the day of the European Super Cup, the team had to postpone the game for a few days due to the maintenance of the stadium after the game.

This also gave Monaco some time to further adapt the lineup. And at the same time, they have to accumulate some physical strength: after the game on September 11, they will have another game on September 15. Deschamps felt that it would be good for them to prepare for a weekly double match. , After all, it’s not far from the start of the Cup. If you don’t train well, you will suffer in the future.

This also gave Zhao Yaning time to communicate with Panucci and discuss how to play.

"You are accustomed to the right foot. Although the left foot has a strong ability to break through, you are always not used to it when you cut inside on the right. In the bottom, your long passing skills are not very good."

When Panucci spoke, he was far less polite than Deschamps. After all, he is not a coach, so you don’t need to consider Zhao Yaning’s psychological endurance. "But this doesn’t mean you have no choice. First, you can still consider slipping to the bottom line after the bottom. Breakthrough, this is also a trick. Your ball control ability is very good. This trick is not unusable. Moreover, Nongda and Jiuli are very comprehensive players, and the cooperation in the penalty area is also suitable for us."

"And again, it is the cooperation of the two of us. But based on your current game experience, you don't know when to control the court and when to attack. Your own rhythm is not adjusted well, if you are asked to adjust The rhythm of the two of us must be messy.” Panucci spoke directly, “So, it’s okay for the ball to be under your feet, but I have to control the rhythm. You watch my running position. You watch my line break through, and the initiative is in my hands."

This time, Zhao Yaning was a little reluctant.

"Since you feel that I am not in good control, you should teach me how to control it. After all, you are a full-back and let you control the rhythm of the wing attack. Isn't it too useless for me?"

Panucci glanced at him and sneered twice, "This is what I teach you. Let's learn the game. Follow me a few more times and you will know what rhythm I am. Then, you need to find between me and Jiuli A balance point, use your rhythm to connect these three points into a triangle, and control the triangle. But before that, you don’t have this ability, you can only be driven by my rhythm or Jiuli’s rhythm. Let’s go. Do you expect the two of us to change our rhythm to match you and let you kick out your sense of rhythm? Boy, first, we can’t change it, and second, you don’t have the ability and it’s not worth it. ."

This made Zhao Yaning flushed, but he couldn't find a word to object. Panucci has his own capital to speak hard to him, his qualifications and abilities are sufficient. Although Zhao Yaning thinks he is not good to speak, his temper is not always a hard-headed temper. At this time, Zhao Yaning prefers to use his own efforts to shut up people.

Seeing that Zhao Yaning didn’t say anything, Panucci’s eyes revealed a hint of happiness, and then he nodded and continued, “The most difficult thing in the game is the change of rhythm. Only when the two people have the same rhythm can the best be achieved. Good cooperation, excellent players, running positions, passing, and breakthroughs are all top-notch. At this time, you have to rely on the rhythm of the game to determine a person's quality. Some players are good, relying on their ability to adapt to any People’s rhythm, and some people, although they seem to be good at running, passing, and breaking through everything, they can only play at a certain level under certain circumstances, because they only know how to play their own rhythm. Know how to sacrifice yourself for the team. I now let you adapt to my rhythm, it seems that it is really not good for you, but if you can do this, you will be able to cooperate with a lot of players, don’t go to transfer in the future You can also adapt to other people’s teams, so that you won’t lose your soul because of a change of environment. If I follow you now and only care about your happiness, then you will be miserable in the future. After all, you are not in a rich team. A super genius, you can let others play around you. If you don’t have the ability to play with others, you will be unlucky in the future."

Panucci's words made Zhao Yaning think for a long time before raising his head.

He is not a person who doesn't know good and bad. Of course he can see whether Panucci is doing good or bad. If you think about it, you will know that the things Panucci said have not happened before. There have been many famous talents in La Liga, but in the end, they all gradually died out because they didn't adapt to other teams. Although what Panucci said is not all right, but his mind is like this, it shows that he is good to himself.

"Your breakthrough ability is definitely top-notch. But if you want to go further, there are only two ways to go. One is that you can have a top team to protect and help, so that you can play more against the strong team. At the same time, teammates of the team are also world-class players, willing to sacrifice themselves for you and feed you a little bit. In the other way, you have to sacrifice yourself more and suffer more to make a way out." Panucci saw Zhao Yaning’s attitude and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, “Real Madrid’s Raul, Liverpool’s Irving, Juventus’s Piero, they are all the former, the team protects and helps. Let them have this kind of achievement. Now Milan's Kaka is the same. If nothing happens, his future achievements should not be low. Such a person is a way, but you can't walk this way. "

"All giant teams seek stability and victory. They are willing to pave the way for a genius, but they will not pave the way for a mediocrity. You play well, but you suffer a lot from the nature. You are an Asian. And football has always been a sport for Europeans and South Americans. No matter how talented you are, there will be no giants who are willing to treat you as the core of the team in the future. Don’t listen to what they say is pretty good, what Rejecting racial discrimination, football is football. In fact, those **** have all kinds of prejudices in their hearts. If you are not a white person, no matter how well you play, they will also say that you have insufficient football IQ-football IQ. How to measure? There is no standard, that’s what they have the final say. And what do they rely on as a reference? Which country are the previous stars from. You are Asian, and Asia does not produce football players. You don’t have this tradition, you think It's impossible for a wealthy family to take you to that step depending on your ability."

Such words made Zhao Yaning look sad, and everyone had dreamed of becoming a person like Maldini.

But in my heart, where is he not clear? If you are not born in a big football country, you will always have to suffer in your life. Even if you really have the ability and played famous, you can't compare with the stars of the football power. Playing football is based on ability, but in competitive football, besides ability, it also depends on fame.

"But there is another kind of people who are killed out of the crowd not by the help of the rich, but by their own ability. They sacrifice a lot when they play, and they are far less smooth when they play, but The final achievement is not necessarily worse than others."

"Maradona hasn't been very smooth all his life, but he led Naples to the championship with his own ability. Effenberg had never won a league title before he was thirty, and he had fallen in Florence. At the age of 30, he arrived at Bayern, making Bayern the strongest team in Europe. Zidane moved to Juventus at the age of 26, and at the time he was not the main player of the national team, but an unknown Young generation, but now, he has the best giants in the world play around him."

"Such a person, without the aura of a giant, could not have been the focus of the world's attention early. When others were interviewed by the media before the spotlight, they worked hard in their own small team. But this After the race finally succeeded, they are more worthy of respect than anyone else. Going upstream and downstream are not the same difficulty. They can use their own strength to upstream, and those who only know how to rely. People whose strength is equal to those of others are not the same. They are all real men, real men, who cannot be defeated by hardships and hardships. Such people are more worthy of respect."

While talking, Panucci sighed, "You have talent, but you have to be tempered. If everything follows you, you can kick it out, but it's not very promising. Those Maradona successors in Argentina It is your role model, and even if you are a little bit higher, but if you don’t have the idea of ​​sacrifice, the best result is to become the top of the small team and be a small star that you can’t beat for the rest of your life. Although it’s not bad, But you could have been higher, so don't miss it because you don't work hard."

Zhao Yaning nodded and followed Panucci's words all the time.

"These words, I only saw through after a few transfers. Jiuli and Roten are both too young, they have not experienced the rich, can not understand the doorway, but these things, I can understand. Now. That is to say, you are still mild-tempered and an honest child, so I told you. If it weren’t for your good-tempered things, I wouldn’t be too lazy to say it. Anyway, if you don’t listen to that, I just said it in vain. Why do you need to talk nonsense?"

Zhao Yaning didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. Zhang Yuan always said that it is not a good thing that he has no temper, and that he has to be domineering when playing football-but now it seems that it is not a bad thing not to be domineering.

Domineering is shown to opponents on the court. If you are still domineering against your teammates, then it is ball dominance. No one likes a careless, arrogant person. Only by lowering his posture can the old players be willing to teach.

"From now on, the two of us have to discuss playing football..." Panucci said while discussing the breakthrough route with him.

One person on the side lane and two people on the side lane are two completely different ways of playing. Offensively speaking, if one player goes to the bottom and the other cuts inward, it can force the opposing full-backs to be exhausted. At the same time, they may pull the defense line. For a team like Monaco with a running master like Jiuli, this has something to do. Significantly.

On the other hand, offensive full-backs need the help of midfielders to defend well. Whether it is Carlos or Cafu, these excellent attacking full-backs rely more on their excellent back and forth attack ability and an excellent tackle to complete the defense. They are in the defensive position. , There is still a big gap with the defensive full-back of Maldini. After all, people are not gods. It is impossible to participate in the attack outside the penalty area in the first second, and then retreat to the center line in the next second. When a quick counterattack, offensive full-backs are always unavoidable from gambling tackles.

And if you want to avoid fouls in this situation, the defense of the forward players is very important. Even if it is not good at defensive wing, making some auxiliary card positions, interception, physical confrontation, and reducing the opponent's counterattack speed are of great significance to the defense of the defender.

After Panucci coached Zhao Yaning, Zhao Yaning was also willing to listen to him. The two spent a lot of time studying football running routes, which made Monaco's cooperation a lot better.

Zhao Yaning knows very well that although he has a system as a booster, his efforts are inevitable: the system is just a game after all, and he can't control many things. The tacit understanding with teammates, the aura of playing football, the running route, timing, in short, everything that relies on football IQ and football experience is beyond the system.

Technology can give people a lot of things, but in the final analysis, football is not a scientist's game. The genetic system may improve greatly in the future, but in the final analysis, football is not a game that determines everything in good health. Mind, experience, cooperation, these things are not genetic engineering can not give football.

This is also the biggest charm of football: it is not track and field, it does not test the limits of the human body, it is not rugby and basketball, and it has great favoritism to certain humans of special size. It is a comprehensive exercise of skill and body. It is a comprehensive exercise for eleven people or even twenty-three people. What it needs is a person's all-round ability. Without it, it is impossible to succeed.

"None of us are big stars of wealthy clubs, nor are we big geniuses in the eyes of the media. To succeed, you have to work a hundred times harder to get ahead in competitive football."

Panucci's teaching has never stopped. As a person who has played for several giants, Zhao Yaning is still convinced by his insights.

"Actually, there are other ways to become famous." Jiuli on the side always likes to laugh and tease others. "Look at Jerome. He has a handsome face and flowing blonde hair. This is what became famous. Cost. Isn't it, French Beckham? The handsome guy in Monaco?"

"I will shave my bald head tomorrow." Roten glared at him. He said this sentence many times, but he has never really done it, "I eat by my ability, and I am not a soft food. It’s not my fault to look handsome. You can’t see who is taller than you. I'm jealous of someone."

Jiuli scolded an swear word: always mentioning his 165cm height is a bit too much.

"Speaking of soft food..." Pulsau was in the other corner of the dressing room. He remembered something. He walked out of the dressing room and walked back after a long time. He still had a magazine in his hand. Music magazine?"

"What's the point of that kind of thing?" Jiuli asked rhetorically.

"Because there is a picture of a nice girl wearing a Monaco uniform and claiming to be a fan of Monaco-guess what jersey she is wearing?"

Zhao Yaning suddenly had a very bad premonition--I hope this matter has nothing to do with him.
