Chapter 415 You know, where is your biggest problem? [Fourth update, please subscribe to monthly pass]

beep!beep!
Luther Carroll blew the whistle for a practice timeout.

Ajax's assistant coach immediately walked into the training ground and called Maicon to his face.

"Maicon, you should be more resolute when plugging it in."

Luther Carroll pointed to Yang Yang's position, "Yang has already cut to the center. At this time, the entire side is vacant. You should be more determined, go forward along the sideline, and play the role of the side attacker."

Maicon nodded to show that he could understand, it was not difficult to understand.

"But behind me..." Maicon pointed to his back. The meaning was obvious. If he got in and was counterattacked, he would not be able to chase back. At that time, there would be a defensive gap on the right.

"There are De Jong and other players in the defense behind you, you can rest assured." Luther Carroll said with certainty.

"In the opening period, we have to play more decisively on the offensive end. To create a threat, we must score first, and AC Milan will not give us too many opportunities and time, so we must race against time, understand?"

Maicon nodded vigorously.

Luther Carroll slowly pushed away again and whistled to signal the continuation of training.

……

This is a closed training session inside Ajax.

The content of the training is the same as the past few days, all to prepare for the second round of the upcoming Champions League quarter-finals knockout match.

The main practice is still around the team's opening rush.

This is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy.

The whole world knows that if Ajax wants to advance, they must score first.

Facing AC Milan, which has excellent defensive and counterattack capabilities, this is undoubtedly a very risky way of playing.

Whether to take risks bravely and fight, or wait for opportunities conservatively, these are two different attitudes.

Ajax chose the former.

Maybe lose, but it will be a brave choice.

Targeted training is kept secret to the outside world, mainly to practice the players' running positions and tacit cooperation.

Yang Yang's cooperation with Charisteas, Maicon, Sneijder and Yaya Toure has also been very tacit, and there is no problem with each other, but some details need to be adjusted.

For example, just now, when Yang Yang ran to the middle, Maicon chose to stay outside the 30-meter zone instead of directly entering the attacking zone. This was because he was wary of the team's counterattack, but doing so would lead to insufficient support on the offensive end.

Another big problem is the left side.

The pressure that Pienaar, Yaya Toure and Maxwell can put on the opponent is still not strong enough, and this needs to be strengthened.

On Gattuso's side, the defense is definitely better.

According to AC Milan's Serie A weekend, Cafu will definitely not play, because his condition is only a little better than Maldini. In such an important game, it is tantamount to taking a big risk to arrange Cafu to play.

Carlo Ancelotti is a typical Italian coach. It is his specialty to watch people order dishes, but not to take risks.

Even, before the last two seasons, Ancelotti was still one of the most conservative coaches in the eyes of the world, especially Juventus fans, who really complained about his conservativeness, even more than Capello.

From Reggina to Parma to Juventus, and even in the early days of coaching AC Milan, Ancelotti is known for being conservative.

What's interesting is that recently he has become a representative figure of Italian pass-and-control football. Even Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, ​​praised him, and his transformation of Pirlo is also hailed as a major innovation in European football.

Sometimes things in the world are just so weird.

There has never been a so-called rigidity in football.

Everyone, every team, is improving all the time.

Standing still will only drive yourself to a dead end.

This is also the reason why both Ronald Koeman and Luther Carroll were willing to listen to Yang Yang's advice and take the risk to give it a go.

…………

…………

After the training session in the afternoon, the players also left one after another.

Yang Yang, as usual, picked up the ball and walked to a corner of De Tokmoster.

Since the game is going to be played tomorrow, none of his teammates will stay with him for additional training this afternoon, so he only ran to the corner alone, wearing sandbags for training, and still practicing some of the most basic things.

The difference is that after the basic training, he will erect two poles in front of the fence, separated by about a distance that a ball can pass, like an extremely narrow goal.

At a distance of about 15 meters from the wall, he placed some sign boards.

He would drive the ball around the markers in an irregular and random manner before shooting the ball between the two poles.

That's one way he trains to shoot.

In reality, it will be more troublesome, but in the game of whack-a-mole at the super training ground, Lao Bing can simulate any kind of complicated field situation for him, which will be more convenient for him to train.

Sometimes, the shooting angle left by the defensive player will be very narrow, or even close to zero.

In this case, a shooter must have absolute control over the shot, because the ball cannot be scored if there is a slight deviation, so there are those two shots.

Such training is very basic and can easily become boring, but it is undoubtedly very effective.

Yang Yang has persisted for a while, and his shooting accuracy has been improving.

Many of the goals this season have been achieved by his direct shots in the extremely small space left by the opponent.

With the harvest, he naturally trained more vigorously.

Just like what Ruud van Nistelrooy said, training doesn't necessarily improve much, it just makes you more confident and believes that you are indeed improving.

Sometimes, on the football field, there is only a little confidence between genius and mediocrity.

…………

…………

"I knew it, you must still be there."

When Yang Yang's training ended, a familiar voice came from behind him.

via Marco van Basten.

"Hey, Marco, why are you here?" Yang Yang turned his head panting and asked with a smile.

Van Basten was wearing a straight suit, standing in the distant lights, somewhat dreamy.

"How can I not come to such an important game tomorrow?" The head coach of the Dutch national team laughed.

As he said that, Van Basten saw that Yang Yang's training was over, so he walked over.

Of course, the two long poles attracted his attention the most. He quickly figured out Yang Yang's intention and laughed.

This made Yang Yang a little embarrassed, so he hurried over to put it away.

This thing is kind of embarrassing.

"Although this kind of training can't be said to be useless, I don't think it can solve your current problem." Van Basten shook his head.

Yang Yang nodded, he also knew what his problem was.

After Yang Yang packed up his things, the two walked and chatted to the training building.

The topic naturally talked about the Champions League in midweek and Yang Yang's own problems.

Van Basten does not recommend that Yang Yang go to Real Madrid, because the team is currently in chaos and is not suitable for Yang Yang.

This point is very consistent with Yang Yang's thinking.

"I have always felt that many people misunderstood me." Van Basten said with a smile.

"Perhaps in everyone's eyes, the most impressive thing about me is shooting, but in fact, I think it is not shooting that makes me stronger and what makes me achieve what I am today, but because I am very comprehensive."

Yang Yang listened silently, sometimes the experiences of his predecessors were valuable experiences for him.

"Actually, to put it bluntly, football skills and tactics are always those things. When the ball reaches the frontcourt, someone needs to be able to hold the ball, someone who can dribble the ball, someone who can pass the ball to assist, someone who can support it, and someone who can score goals. Once you have these things in a team, after a reasonable division of labor and cooperation, scoring goals will not be a problem."

"Every change is inseparable from its roots. It has not changed since ancient times."

"In the era when I played football, the midfield became very difficult and couldn't get the ball out. It was popular for teams to use wingers because there was a lot of space on the wing, but after the wing advanced, they had to return to the center. Therefore, Cruyff once told me that you can't just shoot, because there are many people who can score goals."

"If you want to play the game and want to be better than others, then you have to have something that others don't have. So I started to try to take the ball, catch the ball, pass the ball, assist, and support like a midfielder. Of course, I didn't forget to shoot at the same time."

"So at the time, many people thought that I was a very different high center forward, because they hadn't seen a high center forward like me for many years. I was like a combination of a flexible midfielder and a high center forward."

Yang Yang nodded silently, he vaguely guessed what Van Basten was going to tell him.

"To be honest, when I saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic, I was really surprised, because his talent is better than mine, his technique is better than me, he is like a synonym for a perfect center, but unfortunately..."

Having said that, Van Basten shook his head and sighed, feeling quite embarrassed.

Yang Yang couldn't help but recall that when he was in the Ajax youth team, he heard Zlatan Ibrahimovic say more than once that Van Basten liked to train with him, taught him how to play football, and even told him a lot of playing experience and ideas.

But he also understands Van Basten's regret, because Ibrahimovic was indeed harmed by his own character.

With the physical condition and talent of the Swedish center forward, he could have reached a very high level, but unfortunately he failed to do so.

"Yang, you have to understand one thing. There is nothing static on the football field. It changes all the time. You don't know how it will develop in the future. But there is one thing that will not change. That is an all-round and outstanding player. He will always be the most threatening player on the football field."

"Especially for a scorer, comprehensiveness means that there are no shortcomings and loopholes, and it means that it is difficult for the opponent to find a way to restrain you. It is as if you were originally a winger, but when you transfer the ability to attack the bottom line to the penalty area, you are a threatening scorer."

Yang Yang understood what he meant.

The comprehensiveness of technology can bring the richness of tactics.

He himself has been working hard in this direction, for example, he has been preparing to train his header and other aspects.

"But you know, where is your biggest problem right now?"
