Chapter 681 Reminder
"How about it, Mark? It won't stop me from wearing shorts in the summer, will it?"

In the medical room, Yang Yang was sitting on a chair, raised his right leg, and asked the team doctor Mark Waller to check the injury on his right calf, which had completely healed, leaving only two obvious scars.

As soon as Yang Yang finished speaking, Mark Waller suddenly raised his head, looked at him with a blushing face, and couldn't help laughing.

Everyone else in the medical room also laughed out loud, isn't that too funny?
You are a man, with some scars on your calf, what are you afraid of?

"It's okay, you can put on stockings to cover it up." After laughing, Mark Waller replied solemnly.

After finishing speaking, the fellow patted Yang Yang's right calf gently, signaling him to move his leg away quickly.

"In a few days, the scars will be shallow, let alone shorts, it doesn't matter if you don't wear pants, you are still very fit."

Yang Yang nodded seriously, "That's good, that's good."

Speaking of this, Yang Yang glanced at the training ground outside, "When did he come back?"

What Yang Yang was talking about was Gareth Bell who was training in the training ground outside. He dribbled the ball by himself and looked very hardworking, but it reminded Yang Yang of his past.

Today's Yang Yang has to properly control the amount of training every day, and it is impossible to train more unscrupulously like before, because he needs to maintain his stable performance for a long time, and too much training is not a good thing.

More importantly, Yang Yang is obviously more expensive now.

"I arrived in the morning. Wales lost [-]-[-] to Germany in the away game yesterday. It is estimated that there is no hope of hitting the World Cup this time."

Speaking of which, Gareth Bell's situation is really similar to Yang Yang's, but they are also different.

Both of them come from weak football countries. In Europe, where there are so many strong players, it is very difficult for Wales to get a chance to play in the World Cup, and the same is true for China. However, in the past few years, with the emergence of Yang Yang and many international players who have studied abroad, China's overall strength has improved a lot. It is not too difficult to enter the World Cup.

Of course, there is no room for the slightest carelessness.

Such a tragedy, before Gareth Bale, Manchester United's Giggs, and Liverpool's famous Ian Rush.

For players like Yang Yang, Giggs and Gareth Bale who were born in weak football countries, the World Cup will not be their stage, because they are destined not to be the protagonists, so Yang Yang will work harder to perform and prove himself in the Champions League.

Manpower is limited, and it is the same in football.

In the [-] World Youth Championship, Yang Yang was able to lead the national youth team to win the championship alone, but in the [-] Olympic Games, he began to find that he couldn't do it at all, because the gap in the strength of the other ten players could not be made up by him alone.

This is the case for the Olympic team, and the gap between the adult teams will only get bigger.

He is not a god and cannot do everything.

Maradona was able to create a legend with the hand of God, provided that he was surrounded by a group of outstanding players, and Argentina was the world's top team at that time.

In other words, what can Maradona do if he is replaced by the Chinese team?
It is estimated that the most is to bring this team out of Asia and into the World Cup.

At this moment, Yang Yang suddenly felt a sense of closeness to Gareth Bell.

So, after walking out of the medical room, Yang Yang went straight to the training ground.

…………

…………

On the training ground, Gareth Bale himself was practicing high-speed dribbling breakthroughs, and the scattered obstacles were like defensive players.

But this made Yang Yang on the sidelines shake his head.

Taking advantage of Gareth Bell's training break, Yang Yang walked over.

"Have you ever thought about why Zabaleta can defend you so easily?" Yang Yang asked.

Gareth Bell was sweating profusely. After hearing Yang Yang's words, he frowned and shook his head after thinking hard for a long time.

"Because you always choose to break through from the side and pass from the bottom." Yang Yang said bluntly.

Gareth Bell nodded: "This is my advantage."

"That's right, but you have to know that Zabaleta's advantage is not defense. He and Garrido are not full-backs known for their defense, but he can freeze you. Do you think your advantage is obvious enough?"

Gareth Bell was silent, he didn't know how to answer.

"When I was just starting out, Louis van Gaal told me that I had to practice my left foot more. He told me a truth, the barrel theory."

"Barrel Theory?" Gareth Bell didn't read much, so he obviously couldn't understand it.

"It means that how much water a barrel can hold does not depend on how tall the longest plank of the barrel is, but on how short the shortest plank of the barrel is, and the barrel theory is also applicable to measuring a player."

"You mean the advantage is not important?"

"No, no, of course not." Yang Yang shook his head. "Advantages are very important. A player must have his own advantages, but the premise is to make himself comprehensive and create advantages on a comprehensive basis."

If Gareth Bell realized something, he obviously understood what Yang Yang meant.

"It's like playing against Manchester City that day. Did you find out that it was also against Zabaleta's defense, but it was difficult for you to create a threat, but I was able to easily tear through their defense. Apart from his physical decline, is there any other factor?"

Gareth Bell frowned again, obviously beginning to think about this question.

That time against Manchester City, against Zabaleta, Yang Yang planned three goals, using different offensive lines, two cuts, one pass from the bottom, and one of them suddenly changed to a straight line after the cut, and rushed through between Zabaleta and Kompany.

"As a winger, we either go down or cut inside. If we only prefer one of them, it will greatly reduce the difficulty of the opponent's defense, and you always want to give full play to your own advantages. Whether it is in the Premier League or the Champions League, the opponent can easily judge your next move, so it is not difficult to defend."

Gareth Bell immediately understood the crux of the problem, and looked at Yang Yang with admiration in his eyes.

He understood that Yang Yang came here specifically to mention him, if not, why would Yang Yang bother talking to him?

"Then what do you think I should do?" Gareth Bell asked humbly.

"It's very simple, perfect your technique. If you are left-footed, then use your right foot well. When you get the ball, you are used to passing from the bottom. Then practice cutting inside more. Try to make your choices beyond the opponent's expectation. When the opponent can't guess what you are going to do, then their defense will become very passive."

Gareth Bale suddenly realized it, because he suddenly thought that the third goal created by Yang Yang when he hit Manchester City was precisely when he received the ball and wanted to cut inside, but suddenly buckled back, the ball was passed, and the bottom pass was made.

So does it mean that the move he made to cut in before he hit the bottom was intentional?
"That's right, because the opponents don't know what I'm thinking at all. They don't know which time I'm real and which time I'm fake. If I cut inside and they don't react, I can go to the middle. After they react, I immediately buckle back and change to a bottom pass. At this time, my speed advantage is the most obvious."

Gareth Bell fully understood what Yang Yang meant. This was definitely the valuable experience that Yang Yang had learned from all aspects of playing football for many years, as well as what he had pondered and accumulated on the court.

At this moment, Gareth Bale seemed to see a ray of sunshine in a cloudy sky.

He finally saw clearly how he was going to go next.

Of course, just knowing is not enough. What Yang Yang said are just theories. The key is how he will combine reality and how to master his own know-how.

"Come on, if you have any training details, you can go to the coaching staff, they will definitely have a way to help you improve, it will be more effective than you working hard here alone."

Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and helping players create targeted training is also part of the work of the coaching staff.

Some coaches are very good at improving the strength of players because they know how to train players, especially some training for players' weaknesses and deficiencies.

Benitez's team is undoubtedly an expert in this area, so there is no need for Yang Yang to do it for him.

What's more, he doesn't need to take on these things for himself. If he has that time, he might as well train himself well.

The reason why he made a point was that he felt that Gareth Bale, the substitute, was indeed a little unqualified and unable to share the pressure of his game, so he couldn't help but say a few words to him.

After a few more words of encouragement to Gareth Bell, Yang Yang said goodbye to him with a smile.

……

Watching Yang Yang leave, Gareth Bell felt warm in his heart, with deep admiration in his eyes.

If he had only admiration for Yang Yang when he first joined Liverpool, then now, he respects him from the bottom of his heart, because he knows that Yang Yang could not have said these things to him in the first place.

In theory, the two are still rivals because they both play left wingers.

But Yang Yang not only did not reject him, but took the initiative to mention him, and he did not perfunctory at all. He really shared with him the real materials he had accumulated in playing football. This kind of personality and heart made Gareth Bell admire and respect him very much.

There are many people who play well on the pitch, but few like Yang Yang.

At the same time, Gareth Bell told himself in his heart that the person who left earlier was the target of his efforts.

…………

…………

The thing about Yang Yang pointing out Gareth Bell on the training ground happened in the empty Melwood.

The next day, Liverpool players returned to the team one after another, and the training continued as usual. It was as if nothing had happened, but Gareth Bale looked at Yang Yang with more respect and politeness, which surprised the people in the locker room.

The team will then sit at home to welcome Wigan Athletic, and then go non-stop away to Atletico Madrid, followed by an away game against Chelsea.

For several consecutive games, it was a hard fight.
