ball at foot

Because Ligue [-] started relatively early, coupled with the increase in the number of foreign aid caused by the reform of the competition system this year, Monaco was afraid that the delay would cause the price of players to rise, so they urged Zhao Yaning to go to Monaco early, complete the physical examination, and sign the agreement.

After the signing of the new contract, his annual salary after tax reached nearly 60 euros.This income standard is already a relatively high salary for Ligue [-] players, but offensive players already have high salaries, coupled with Zhao Yaning's young age and great potential, such a contract is naturally not too excessive.

Moreover, Cordia told him that this contract should have been based on the pre-tax annual salary standard. Because of Monaco's tax reform this year, the players have doubts about the tax after the reform, and Monaco also specially raised some wages.But this year, the Monaco and French governments have just passed a new agreement on the tax rate issue, abolishing the tax law implemented since 1957, and implementing a new taxation standard. Monaco’s personal income tax was abolished and replaced by a luxury tax. The levy policy has little effect on football players.Because he only works for people who have lived in Monaco for five years and have a personal property of more than 66 euros. Zhao Yaning does not meet the two requirements, so naturally there is no need to worry.

Originally, Monaco also thought about lowering his salary, but after Zhao Yaning became famous in the World Cup, Monaco was unwilling to cause more troubles, but made a quick decision to sign the contract.

When the contract was signed, Zhao Yaning got his No. 7 jersey in the new team, and after taking a photo with Deschamps, he proposed to return to China.He is still on vacation, which is considered a normal request, and he also agreed to Beibei, wanting to go home earlier. [

But Deschamps stopped him, "Since you are already a player in Monaco, don't rush to go back. Let's arrange the things here. Your residence, transportation, daily necessities, and then there is the team. You'd better understand the ban and training habits before you leave. I don't want you to take up our training time to do these things."

Although I have heard for a long time that Deschamps is strict in managing the club, but when I heard him say these words, Zhao Yaning understood why people said he was tough.

"Besides, if you are away for a long time, ask Coach Jean Petit what your training plan should be like during the holiday. Of course, I know that I have no control over the training during the holiday, so I Just a suggestion, if you want to occupy a position in my lineup next season, then I suggest that you do not appear at the Latubi base in a state of overweight, injury, or excessive physical exertion."

These words made Zhao Yaning smile even more wryly.Things like offseason training should depend on the player's self-consciousness, right?But Deschamps doesn't seem to care about that at all.

If it is a player with a bad temper, or a player with low self-consciousness, it is estimated that he will definitely be at odds with Deschamps.Even Zhao Yaning now feels that Deschamps' arrangement is too much.The relationship between coaches and players is a delicate matter in professional football. Coaches have more power in theory, but players do not completely obey the coach because of their star status.But now it seems that for Deschamps, the players have to obey him conditionally.

He has this capital, his reputation far exceeds that of the players, he dares to issue such rigid rules, and at the same time, he also has a steel wrist to implement the laws he set himself.

After experiencing the era when the coaches coaxed him to play football during the Ajaccio period, it is a bit uncomfortable to see Monaco's iron-fisted coaching, but Zhao Yaning is also slightly happy in his heart: He always feels that such rigid rules are more difficult than the original The kind of team atmosphere is better.

But for him, what needs to be considered now is another issue: the arrangement of his personal affairs in Monaco.

He does not have his own house in Monaco, and he does not plan to buy a house in Monaco-Monaco is a tourist city with picturesque scenery and lots of fun, and the result is that the housing prices here are the highest in the world-although Zhao Yaning just got a contract fee, but intends to spend the money on buying a house.

At this time, Zhang Yuan was still dealing with domestic affairs in the country, and only Cordia was by his side.Although Cordia is a good agent, his ability is more on the transfer issue. As for the arrangement of the players' private life, although he can help, it is difficult to make it satisfactory.

He asked for a few suggested rental housing information from the club. As for more things, such as interior decoration and utensils, he can do nothing. These things have to be added by Zhao Yaning himself.

But for Zhao Yaning, what he lacks most now is time.He wanted to rush back earlier, the offseason didn't last long, it was really torture to waste time here instead of being with Beibei.

And at this moment, a helper came to the door by himself.

"I said I heard that you came to the team to sign today, and I came here specially... Welcome to the Ratubi base, rookie!"

At the gate of the base, Zhao Yaning saw Squillage.After giving Zhao Yaning a hug, he patted Zhao Yaning hard and hugged Zhao Yaning’s shoulder, “I watched your World Cup match, you played very well, and your luck is really good. Don’t be sad about being out , even France was eliminated in advance, this year's competition is nothing to watch."

I'm not sad... but Squillage is still talking nonsense as usual.

But he came at the right time. He is an old player of Monaco. Although he has never played a game, he is familiar enough with Monaco.

"Since you're in Monaco, I'll take you to have fun. Here you will understand how much fun we miss in a small island like Ajaccio. Let's go around and Monaco will let you know here Why is it a vacation paradise."

"Sebas, don't be so excited." Zhao Yaning stopped him, "I don't have much time. I'm still in a hurry to get back." [

Zhao Yaning explained a few things about himself, and Squillage frowned, "So you haven't broken up yet. What's the point of this kind of love that meets twice a year? You are such a freak."

"I'm lucky to be called a freak by you. If I'm as normal as you, I'll be cured." Zhao Yaning teased him before continuing the topic, "Sebas, I need some help in this regard. Adding some things, including renting a house, adding furniture, buying some items and so on. But I don't have too many things, and my agent doesn't know what kind of things I need..."

"You want me to help? No problem." Squillage understood immediately. "Do you have any specific requirements?"

"There are no requirements, but I don't know how to drive, so don't find me a house that is too far from the training base. It is best if I can run to the training base."

Squillage understood Zhao Yaning’s words, but he had a different opinion, “Even if you don’t know how to drive, you can consider other methods. There are many taxis here, and you can go to the training base by car. I also have my own car. It’s also okay to pick you up. This is not Ajaccio, the transportation here is very developed, there is no need to torture yourself.”

Zhao Yaning shook his head, he still felt that it was not a bad thing to be able to do a warm-up run before going to training.

He doesn't like the taxis in Monaco. Most of the taxis in this place are Mercedes-Benz. It is said that only Dubai is more luxurious in the world.Zhao Yaning always felt that if he just had some money and spent it like this, he would not be able to control himself in the future.In France, he has heard many stories about black players who ended up in poverty because of spending money indiscriminately. Therefore, it is better to save money when spending money.

"Well, whatever you like, anyway, I can't trust taxis, they go on strike every three days." Squillage shrugged, "What about the others?"

"As for the internal things, anyway, there are only a few things I need. When you were in Ajaccio, you also knew what I needed. Just help me look and buy some."

"But this is Monaco, not Ajaccio. You are not going to buy a bar? Here you can buy wine from any vintage in any estate in France. You are not going to install a steel pipe in the house? The dancers here can meet There are all kinds of tastes. Also, there are many bars in Monaco, don't you want to find a place you like and get a membership card for entertainment? Or..."

"I don't need those." Zhao Yaning interrupted him.

Seeing that Zhao Yaning's complexion was a bit ugly, Squillage laughed, "Well done, this is the Joey I know. What I said is nonsense, please remember, don't be attracted by these things Keep your eyes open, otherwise you will definitely not be able to play in the future."

"Who do you think I am?" Zhao Yaning asked back.

"Most of the players from poor countries with money are... Forget it, has your national pride been aroused again? Well, I won't talk about it." Squillage raised his hand, "You still have Do you need help with anything else?"

"There is one thing." Zhao Yaning thought about it, "Coach Deschamps asked me to meet Coach Jean Petit."

"To see Jean Petit?" Squillage's eyes widened. "I thought you'd have this painful day in a month's time."

"Coach Petit is a very good person." Zhao Yaning was puzzled.

"That's right? That's because you don't know him enough." Squillage said with a wry smile. "When you get to know him a lot, you will find that he is a suicidal guy who is strict about details."

"Hello, Joey, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

When I met Coach Petit, it was in his office. Everything was similar to the last time we met. The difference was the thick documents in front of Coach Petit and the computer that was turned on in front of him.

"Let's take a look with me, and tell me how you feel after watching." Coach Petit pointed to the computer screen, not giving Zhao Yaning any chance to speak about himself.

And looking at the computer screen, Zhao Yaning was also attracted, "This is my personal skills collection?"

"Well, I had someone cut it. Just watch it quietly."

Coach Petit signaled Zhao Yaning to be quiet, and the two of them looked at the screen and stopped talking.The video on the computer is a collection of Zhao Yaning’s cuts from Ajaccio’s games in one season.But this is not a collection of his goals or a collection of extraordinary people, but a very detailed technical collection.The broadcast of the French league is very special. In many cases, the camera is chasing the players, which makes this collection look very clear.

After a while, the highlights were played, and Coach Petit turned around, "How do you feel?"

"I don't know. It seems that this is a collection of my skills, but many places seem to be my failed moves. I don't know what you mean by showing me it."

"I just want you to know what your shortcomings are now." Coach Petit said while operating, "Your speed is very fast, but that's useless. Your dribble is not bad, but it's not enough Good. The ability to dribble in football, three important points: the ability to dribble continuously, the ability to hold the ball statically, and the simplicity of the dribble. You are not good enough in these three points.”

The collection was opened again, and Coach Petit pointed to the collection and said, "See, you play almost all in one style. High-speed counterattacks after you get the ball. You rarely have consecutive dribbles in a small range, and There are very few static ball starts. All you do is run, run, run: you don’t run well. When you run, your upper body moves too much, which affects your running speed. The most important thing for a player, You don't have it. When you get the ball, you run and counter-attack subconsciously. Although your movement selection is OK, but in the top league, it doesn't make sense. No top team will give you wide range. The space allows you to raid, and your style of play is impossible." Petit paused, "And what's more sad is that you haven't realized it yet."

Zhao Yaning blushed, how could he have thought of this?

"Your style of play is a winger with fast speed, a bit of skill, and a sense of smell. If you continue to develop like this, you will be a counter-attack striker at most, which is not suitable for you. I value you, not because of your Strength, but because you still have potential to tap. I hope you understand this now, if not, I can only give up on you."

Zhao Yaning said a little angrily, "We won the championship with this style of play last season."

"What is a championship?" Coach Petit turned his head around, "The championship belongs to your entire team, not to you personally. It can only represent your team's good performance, not your individual flaws. If you want to To make progress, just throw away all honors and always be modest. If you always feel that you are already good, you are finished."

This sentence made Zhao Yaning retort, and he had to keep his mouth shut.

"You need to change the way you play, a big change." Coach Petit patted his head, "Do you remember what I taught you last time?"

"Growing physical strength, improving passing ability, while trying to create my own style of football."

Petit nodded, "Don't let go of physical training, this is very important to you. I also suggest that you practice short pass coordination and through ball ability, which are also very important to you. Your kicking There are a lot of cut-in shots, very close to the inside forward's style of play, and it is not a bad thing to have more ability to pass and receive."

"The other thing is your surmounting skills." Petit turned her gaze to the information at hand again, "I don't recommend you to use your speed as the main means of surmounting people. People's explosive power will be affected by age and injuries. It is very irresponsible to let young players play football with explosive power. That kind of play is very hated and can easily cause injuries. And you are too tall, with a height of 180m, which makes your The center of gravity is high, and your body shape is not good, the shoulders are too wide, the center of gravity is not easy to control, if you use acceleration to pass people repeatedly, it will cause too much load on your knees. Maybe you don’t care, but as a coach, I You can't teach your disciples like that. I want you to practice new techniques so you can improve."

"What kind of skill training should I do?" Zhao Yaning thought of his recent rapid increase in data, and became interested.

"I suggest you practice these moves." Coach Petit operated on the computer, "This is the first one."

"Big Laudrup's croquettes?" Zhao Yaning immediately recognized this action.

"It seems that you have seen it too. This action requires a good sense of the ball, feet skills, as well as the player's flexibility, agility, and a good enough sense of rhythm. Now you have a bad sense of rhythm, and everything else is bad. Yes, so I suggest you practice this move. You have a lot of frontal breakthrough skills, very fancy, but not very practical. Forget the Masai roundabout, you are not as strong as Zizu, forget the big ferris wheel, unless you are facing the upper For Blanco in the first season, he also forgot about swiping the cow’s tail. That kind of action is too easy to make mistakes in a fast assault. Frontal breakthrough, acceleration and change of direction at high speed, and deep-fried balls when holding the ball statically, for you It couldn’t be more appropriate to say. But we still have to remember that high-speed states are only a minority, so don’t pursue high-speed breakthroughs. Small-scale static breakthroughs are the most important thing, and they can be eaten anywhere.”

Zhao Yaning opened his mouth and said nothing.And Coach Petit immediately continued, "You use Marseille to maneuver a lot, but most of the time you do it because you can't get rid of it when you are surrounded. Don't do this. When you are surrounded, you should be careful. It is not a good habit to look for a breakthrough route or a passing route, and turn around quickly to make a breakthrough, which will increase your mistakes too much."

"Then how can I break through after turning around?" Zhao Yaning asked, "There are not many breakthrough skills in the back-up state, and it seems that Cruyff turning around is not very practical..."

"Extraordinary moves rely on the rationality of personal choice." Coach Petit looked for it on the computer, "Look at this technique."

The person in the computer faces the defender with his back, the instep of his right foot pushes the ball to his right, and then kicks the ground with his left foot and makes a violent rotation around the axis of his right foot. The ball, the whole person throws off the defender by a position, and walks away.

"This movement... seems to be a simplified version of Cruyff's turn. The two movements have been changed to one. When turning around, one foot is supported, which is more concise, but what is needed is a high-explosive push off the ground and sufficient flexibility. It's fine for me to come and get some distance."

"More than that. You have another advantage, that is, your feet are excellent. In this way, your breakthrough video will show threats in two directions at the same time, making it more unpredictable and allowing defenders to be more comfortable." Coach Petit explained to him, "And this movement can also be used when you are sideways. If you combine it with your frontal breakthrough movement, your extraordinary movement will become more perfect. The name of this movement is called spinning top. I don’t know who invented the variant of Cruyff’s turn, but for modern football, in most cases, he is more practical than Cruyff’s turn. What you need is such a systematic movement Patterns are more effective than your improvisations."

Zhao Yaning nodded, but still asked his own question, "Coach, can I practice my own movements? It belongs to me."

"The kind of action that can be named after you?" Petit showed a strange smile, "You need time to temper. In football games, you will encounter various situations that you cannot handle. , you will start to study your own movements. If you can carefully analyze each game and study your own movements carefully, you can find the movements that suit you.”

"As for you, there are indeed some movements that I have never seen on others."

On the screen is Zhao Yaning dribbling with the ball, but when facing the opponent’s flying tackle, he suddenly stopped, his left foot took a big step to the left, and his right foot almost hooked the ball to follow. The whole person took a big step in the air like a ballet, avoiding the defensive player's flying shovel.

"This is a very good prototype of the movement. The sudden stop ability brought by your explosive power, coupled with the body twist brought by your flexibility, the lateral jump can make you dodge more than one position, This gives you absolute leisure to prepare for your next move."

Looking at this action, Zhao Yaning really couldn't remember when he did it.

"This is the last stage of a game. Your physical strength is insufficient, and your technique of dribbling is deformed, which makes your stop not standard. You have to use this action to dodge the opponent's tackle. Of course, you will be intercepted by others immediately. , because your jumping range is too large, you lose your balance, and are easily broken off. But there is still room for improvement in this movement. Your jumping range, the direction in which you move laterally with the ball, and the following actions that cooperate. This action is not very good for connecting high-speed breakthrough actions. Sudden stops and quick starts are likely to cause injuries, but if it is combined with small-scale passing and receiving, it can suddenly dodge a position during small-scale activities to prepare for passing the ball. That would be the best." Coach Petit explained his opinion, "Everyone has this kind of original movement, it depends on whether you can master it."

Zhao Yaning didn't think about these issues carefully, but when he heard Coach Petit mentioning it, he realized that he didn't pay enough attention to his movements and his own games, which made him a little ashamed.

"Everyone will have this special movement that belongs to them, but whether you can turn them into accumulated experience depends on yourself. Talent is something like turning it into a star, or letting it become a star. Glide across the sky like a shooting star, relying on your own efforts."

"Whether you want to be a meteor or a star is up to you."
