ball at foot

As night fell, the Monaco and Arsenal players had finished eating and drinking at the Louis XV Restaurant and came to the Monte Carlo Casino together.

Arsenal players came to play in Monaco, which actually helped Monaco: the income from this game can make Monaco earn a lot of money.An important reason why they are willing to come here is because Monaco is one of the best vacation destinations in Europe. Besides playing football, you can also relax here.

Monaco's geographical conditions can be said to be unique: it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, which is very good in itself, and the Grand Duchy of Monaco has been operating for many years. On the one hand, it uses tax-free conditions to attract foreigners to settle down. On the other hand, it uses gaming and tourism to develop itself. Monaco's tourism industry is famous all over Europe.

Although this city built with money is not as old as Paris, Madrid, Milan and other cities, it also has a unique charm.

After the Arsenal players came here, they also came to the Monte Carlo casino because of their reputation-although they didn't spend much money to gamble, more often they just drank and chatted.But it is also a good activity to visit this kind of place. [

Zhao Yaning also followed them into the casino, but he didn’t dare to let go of his hands and feet.He just asked for a glass of beer, and then began to discuss with the Arsenal players about football and the Premier League.

And the Arsenal players seem to be very willing to discuss this issue: Although they are on vacation, they are both players, and the most talked topic is football.

"You played very well." When talking to him, several famous Arsenal players did not have any airs, and Pires took the initiative to talk to him about the game, "Your dribbling skills are very good, and it seems There is still room for improvement, I dare not say where the peak of your extraordinary ability is. If you continue to play like this, you will definitely have the opportunity to play in the Premier League or La Liga in the future."

While Pires was talking, he also told him about some of his movements.Many of these details are based on experience. After hearing this, Zhao Yaning also felt that he had benefited a lot.

"If you really want to go to the Premier League, you should really listen to him more." Seeing Zhao Yaning humbly listening to Pires, Ashley Cole next to him also said, "Your skills need to be improved. In fact, there are quite a lot of places. Your coordination ability is insufficient, and you have problems with your reading ability and vision of the game. Now you can play a game relying on your speed and skills, but in higher-level games, your playing style It is impossible to work. The pace of the Premier League is faster and the competition is more intense. Your style of play is basically unbearable there, because you can only follow back and forth. Without the ability to cooperate, it is impossible to succeed. How many skilled players are there in Argentina and Brazil, and how many of them can enjoy themselves in the Premier League? The key is not small skills, speed and other things. The key for technical players to play in the Premier League is to rely on their brains."

Who said I was going to play in the Premier League?Zhao Yaning seemed to have heard some problems, but he couldn’t refute the kindness of others, he just listened to their guidance to him.

"I think he has a good vision. When he is on the court, he has a very good choice of breaking through the line. Otherwise, he won't make you so embarrassed." Pires didn't give Ashley Coe "And his passing is quite in place, but it seems that... lacks some creativity. His passing is always well-regulated, and he only dares to pass to people's feet, all of which are transitional passes." , When you play football, you don’t have enough guts, you don’t play enough to let go.”

"Creativity isn't for everyone." Ashley Cole frowned.

"But he definitely has. The few times he passed, they were very beautiful, his movements were unique and outstanding. It is impossible for such a player to be creative. The only problem is that his brain did not turn too much in terms of passing the ball. He couldn't play because he was too restrained. This is not a technical problem, but a problem with his own psychology and habits."

"Okay, Robert, this is Monaco, and Coach Jean Petit is here. It's not up to you to talk about these issues." Henry on the side said gently, "Maybe it's because the level of his former partners is too poor, and they are not as good as you. It’s not his way of thinking, so he can’t use all his imagination when playing football. This kind of problem can be solved. Coach Petit is a good coach, and Giuly is also a master of running positions. If he is willing to study hard If you practice hard, you will definitely improve quickly. Maybe, his future achievements will surpass you. "

Henry's words made Zhao Yaning embarrassed and didn't know what to say.Although it is praise, Zhao Yaning still pays more attention to the first half of his sentence.Since arriving in Ligue [-], many coaches have attributed various problems in playing football to the fact that they did not develop good habits when they were young. how nice.

Henry's words only made Pires smile, "I have congenital shortcomings, and it's nothing to surpass me. I hope he will keep improving and go further. Only in that way, he will be worthy of Arsenal."

Zhao Yaning has also heard about the congenital defects Pires mentioned: Pires has flat feet, and his feet are actually not suitable for football.Such a shortcoming made him look like he was wading through muddy water when he played football, even on a sunny day.It is precisely because of this that his extraordinary skills are still not top-notch in the Premier League, and are slightly inferior to Giggs, who is as famous as him.

But when it comes to running positions, forward awareness, and shooting ability, Giggs is also inferior to him.Pires' forward shooting ability is definitely one of the best in the Premier League.And as a winger whose first priority is passing, his shooting ability is not inferior to that of a winger, which is enough to show his outstanding level of strength.Arsenal's two most famous offensive ideas, one is Henry to the left and Pires, Ashley Cole exchanged to break through, the other is Henry retreats, Pires and Ljungberg advance, For these two sets of tactics, Henry and Pires are absolutely indispensable, which is enough to show that his role is huge.

However, compared to Pires' matter, Zhao Yaning is more interested in another matter revealed in the words.

"Worthy of Arsenal?" Zhao Yaning asked a little puzzled.

"Coach Wenger praised you fiercely in the locker room today, I think he may have plans to buy you to Arsenal." Ashley Cole took over the conversation, "But it should not be now, you You are not playing well enough now. Even if you buy you, you can only go out on loan first, and it is impossible to play for Arsenal. I think what Mr. Wenger means is to let you sharpen your skills in Ligue [-] for another year or two. Arsenal should also need to add new blood, you just can enter Arsenal and become the main force of the new generation of the team."

This news really made Zhao Yaning feel flattered.Wenger is different from other coaches. This is the first world-class head coach who favors him.And the meaning in Ting's words was that he was going to succeed Pires and Ljungberg, which made him feel really surprised.

"Learn more in the future, and you will one day become the main force of a wealthy family." Seeing Zhao Yaning's surprise, Henry also smiled gently, "David and I became famous here back then, and we have nothing special The secret is to be obedient, train hard, and pay attention to football itself. As long as you do these things, you will definitely be able to improve. What's more, you have players like Ludovic, you will definitely be able to succeed." [

Although Zhao Yaning also knew that these words were likely to be polite words from Henry to motivate him, but he still felt very encouraged-after all, such words came from Henry's mouth.

"Actually, what he should learn now is not Giuly's style." Bergkamp, ​​who was sitting quietly drinking and hadn't spoken, said suddenly, "His speed and technique are well combined, but his running position and The shooting is not bad. If he learns from Jiuli, Jiuli may be able to help him achieve breakthroughs in running and shooting ability, but that kind of winger's style of play actually limits his upper limit. He is a bit independent when dribbling the ball. Not enough team, he should play more wide midfielders, which will be more beneficial to his development."

Bergkamp's words were a little cold, which also made Henry's smile dull.Originally, he just wanted to say a few nice words, so that the little brothers of his mother team would grow up faster, but who knew that Bergkamp would consider this matter so seriously?

"How should I play?" Zhao Yaning asked immediately after hearing this.

"Look more at some talented players playing football, try to figure out their psychology, and ask the coach if you don't understand. Your current style of play, if you stick to it all the way, you can at most become a Ljungberg, but If you learn smarter, you might become an enhanced Pires."

Bergkamp's words surprised Henry a little: he didn't expect Bergkamp to have such a high evaluation of Zhao Yaning.

But Bergkamp also has his own ideas: Although Zhao Yaning’s dribbling skills are very good, after all, he is not as strong as Ljungberg, and his impact is definitely worse than Ljungberg. If it is still like this Playing style, then this is the upper limit.And if he can exercise his passing skills, coupled with his good forward awareness and shooting, this will have the basic elements of an organizational player.And coupled with his better passing skills, he is entirely possible to be better than Pires.

But the prerequisite is naturally that he can develop his passing ability.Fortunately, Zhao Yaning’s partner is Jiuli. His speed and running ability can make Zhao Yaning’s pass much easier. If he is honed, it is very possible that his passing ability can be trained.

"Learn more from Pires... In fact, it is best to learn Figo's way, but his style of play requires a very high IQ, and it is difficult to learn. If you only learn his movements, it is not good for you. Not much help."

Bergkamp didn't say a word: Figo's playing style is too perfect for wide players.His way of playing is too easy for people to fall into an obsession with his skills, while ignoring more important things.For Zhao Yaning, what he needs to learn is definitely not those things.Pires' passing skills are not good, and even his movements are ugly. Watching his highlights, you can only pay attention to his overall view.

Zhao Yaning set his sights on Pires.

"If you need any help, just ask me." Pires immediately agreed.

Zhao Yaning nodded, with a little excitement on his face, "I really didn't expect that talking to big-name players would be so easy. When we were on the court just now, it seemed like we were going to fight, but now, we are actually chatting together. "

"Don't bring things on the court to the court." Henry laughed, "And we are not big stars, we are all the same players. Although on the court, we may fight for victory, but After leaving the football field, we are not enemies."

Zhao Yaning nodded, and suddenly asked again, "Then who is our enemy?"

"We have no enemies." Henry frowned. "If there is anyone who is our enemy, then it is those who make football no longer pure. They are the enemies of football, and naturally they are also our enemies .”

After sending away Arsenal, Zhao Yaning fell into learning in the next week.

In his system, a third teacher appeared, Pires.And Pires' teaching to him is mainly to cultivate his overall view, game reading ability and passing organization ability.Although Pires' most outstanding ability is his forward penetration ability and the ability to pick up leaks in front of the goal, he did not teach these when he taught Zhao Yaning.

"You can't learn those things now. With Giuly here, you don't need to do those things." Pires' view on this matter is very straightforward, "When you play football now, you have a lot of impact and can disrupt the opponent's rhythm and defense. But your problem now is that while playing like this, you can’t guarantee your own rhythm and observation of other people on the field. What you need to do now is to learn to play football with more atmosphere.”

Pires' teaching can be regarded as profound and simple. After all, what Zhao Yaning is showing now is more about his excellent skills than his contact with aura and organizational ability.Although Pires believes that he has good organizational skills, the cultivation of this ability has always been the most labor-intensive.

Sometimes, Pires had to let Juninho and Anelka run with him on the field to train Zhao Yaning.

"There are still a few people now, if there are more, you can improve faster." Sometimes, Pires looked at the people on the training ground, and still complained, "You'd better find some people to come in." , at least one or two defenders, so that we can practice against each other.”[

Zhao Yaning didn't find it difficult to ask such a request, and he found Squillage the next day, "Teach me how to defend."

"Why did you remember to learn defense? You have never been very involved in defense." Squillage exposed Zhao Yaning's background mercilessly, "What do you think of, want to learn defense?"

"I think I should be involved in the defense... If my defense is not a colander, then Givee doesn't have to be responsible for wiping my ass behind my back. Our tactics can be more varied."

Zhao Yaning's words just made Squillage look at him suspiciously, "I don't think there will be any changes in tactics. Defense can't be effective in a day or two. Of course I can teach you. Come to me when you want to learn." I'm fine. But if it's defense, you'd better ask the full-back. After all, I was born as a central defender. The defensive strategy of a full-back is different from that of a central defender. You mostly play on the wing, or Go ask the defenders who play wide, like Eric."

Zhao Yaning nodded, even if he didn’t say these words, Zhao Yaning would not forget them.

The second person he looked for was Abidal. Although Giver and Evra are the main players of the team, Giver actually also serves as a full-back, and Evra is also an attacking full-back who mainly focuses on attacking. In comparison, although Abidal also serves as a full-back, he has played as a full-back for a relatively long time, so Zhao Yaning is also easy to find him.

Abidal, on the other hand, was very talkative, and readily agreed to Zhao Yaning’s request. Therefore, when Zhao Yaning entered his system again, he had two defenders.

Then, he found Jiuli Jiuli had agreed to teach him a long time ago, and now that he heard that Zhao Yaning wanted to study, he naturally agreed quickly.

But when he entered the space, he discovered the problem: the Abidal and Squillage here are obviously not what they are in Monaco now, but what they are after they have fully matured.In the space, they are all about 30 years old. Although Zhao Yaning doesn't know how they will play in the future, but at the age of 30, their experience and awareness have reached a very high state, which is undoubtedly a lot more difficult.

"What we have to do now is to pass the ball to me or him under the guard of three people." Pires pointed to Giuly, "We will conduct three-on-three training, with Juninho temporarily serving as the midfielder, and Stanley Quillac and Giuly teamed up with him, the three defended you together, and Giuly and I were running around, and you figured out how to pass the ball to our feet."

Pires did not allow Anelka to participate in this training. Although Anelka is also a very smart player, his style of play has always been to save energy for himself and not consider others at all. This style is not good. Suitable for teaching students.

Three-on-three football matches are definitely not played like this. If it is in the team training, it is impossible to only train Zhao Yaning. Even if it is targeted training, it will not let players like Squillac and Abidal The main force of the team will be his sparring partner.But here it is a different story.This is Zhao Yaning's training space. Others focus on him and train his kicking ability, which makes his football skills rise extremely quickly.

And Zhao Yaning also had to admit that the defensive abilities of Squillage and Abidal, who are around 30 years old, are really strong. To solve the problem.Juninho, who was cruising by the side, was also trying to intercept his pass, which made Zhao Yaning’s pass even more difficult. successful.

And Pires and Jiuli used their running positions to train Zhao Yaning.

I have to say that Zhao Yaning's training system is very good, with world-class players working tirelessly as sparring partners, such training conditions, the whole world can't find a second one.

At the same time, when he trained like this, he also became familiar with Jiuli's running habits by the way, and he became more and more skilled in cooperating with him.

By the time he was on the pitch in Monaco a week later, he was able to train with Giuly in training.

"Your progress is really astonishingly fast. I have never seen such a fast progress." Speaking of this, Jiuli felt puzzled. Zhao Yaning still seemed very jerky when he first arrived, but it was only two short weeks. After a while, you can become so familiar with his running habits, and you can also cooperate with him in various ways. Could it be that your own running habits are so simple and can't stand knocks?

Zhao Yaning could only smile and not answer.He couldn't explain the period of his system. Although it was shameful for people to misunderstand that it was his talent, he could only admit it like this at this time.

"It's good to play like this, and wait until the next game, otherwise, you will be in big trouble."

Jiuli's words reminded Zhao Yaning of something.

In the next game, Monaco will play against Juventus.

The overlord of Italian football, one of the most powerful teams in Europe, the old lady Juventus.

"But don't worry too much. When the game comes, there will be another outstanding player in our lineup." Speaking of this, Jiuli smiled at Zhao Yaning, "And this person's position is very related to you." Big, because he plays as a right back, and if nothing else happens, he will be our main right back."

The main right back?

Zhao Yaning was a little surprised. Now behind him is Ji Wei. Although Ji Wei played quite well and was very conscientious, he was born as a central defender. After all, he is not very suitable for full-back playing. The help is limited, which is what Zhao Yaning has always felt a little regretful about.

"You may have heard of this person. He played with us last season, and he is also a player of the Italian national team. His level has always been good..."

"Christian Panucci?" Zhao Yaning remembered who Jiuli was talking about.

"That's right, something went wrong in the negotiations between Chris and the club." Giuly nodded, "He may stay in Monaco."
