Chapter 128: Playing football with your brain (first update, please vote for me!)

Hearing Chen Yingxiong's loud words, Basten smiled and said, "Then what do you want to learn?"

"Learn how you can score all the goals!" Chen Yingxiong replied.

Basten nodded: "What a coincidence, I can teach you this."

"Haha, I knew it!" Chen Yingxiong was very happy because he guessed it right. Van Basten didn’t teach him any specific skills because he actually didn’t have any specific skills worth teaching, and what he was good at was actually not how to shoot, how to dribble, how to pass, how to get rid of... What he was good at was using his brain. Play football instead of relying solely on his already outstanding physical condition.

"I'm very happy too." Basten said with a smile, "It seems you already know where your problem is. Yes, your problem is not that you lack any scoring weapons. No matter how many scoring weapons you have, you don't know how to use them correctly. , that’s useless. You collect all the firearms in the world like a gun collector, but if you don’t know how to use them correctly and skillfully, you are just a collection. The parameters and origins can be explained clearly, but it still doesn’t make him a sharpshooter.”

"So, what you need to learn now is...to play football with your brain."

Basten pointed to his head.

Chen Yingxiong and Basten stood on the training ground, and his teammates were waiting nearby, waiting for Chen Yingxiong to assign tasks.

"Hero, if you were asked to use a weapon to describe yourself, which one would you use?" Basten asked.

Chen Yingxiong thought for a moment and then said: "Nuclear weapons!"

Basten laughed: "You are so confident! But you got to the core of the problem. You are a powerful nuclear weapon, but have you ever seen anyone use nuclear weapons easily?"

"America! It took two to hit the little ***!" Chen Yingxiong raised two fingers.

"Well, what then?"

"Uh..." Chen Yingxiong frowned and racked his brains, but he couldn't remember anyone else who had used enough atomic bombs to fight the war. Of course, he could think it was due to his failure in historical knowledge, but in fact, apart from the United States, no other country has used atomic bombs in actual combat...

"No more. Only the United States." Basten didn't look like a player at this time, but more like Chen Yingxiong's history teacher. "Humanity has conducted many nuclear tests, but only two have been used by the United States in actual combat. Do you know why this is?"

"It's too powerful and unnecessary?"

"You can say that, but it is not unnecessary, but it is too powerful. Once used, the consequences will be disastrous. But anyway, it is the same, that is, it is used very rarely. You say you are a nuclear bomb, do you want to be that kind of person for the rest of your life? Are they all lying in the warehouse, completely useless and can only be used to frighten the enemy?"

Chen Yingxiong was completely speechless. Of course he didn't hope so. Only now did he realize that more power wasn't always better. Atomic bombs are definitely not used as frequently as an ordinary assault rifle. Perhaps an atomic bomb can kill 100,000 people at a time, but a rifle has killed countless people, and those are all measured in millions or tens of millions.

"So there are many ways to score goals. But your current method is too hard."

"hard?"

Chen Yingxiong didn't understand.

Basten also felt that it was difficult to speak clearly just by talking. Football is not a language, football must be practiced.

So he asked Chen Yingxiong to imagine a scene - in the penalty area, he received a ground pass from his teammate, but the goalkeeper had already rushed to him, blocked all his shooting angles, and opened his arms to lower his center of gravity and prepare to pounce. The ball is gone. What should he do?

"Pass the goalkeeper!" Chen Yingxiong did not hesitate.

"You are surrounded by the opponent's defenders on your front, back, left and right. You only have a wide range of movement where your body is. Except for shooting, no matter what you do, you will lose the ball. What should you do?" Basten asked.

"Uh... of course it's a shot..."

"Of course it's a shot, but how? Let's do it... let's have a real fight."

So the teammates followed what Van Basten said and recreated the scene he described on the training ground. Basten then told the goalkeeper to pounce on Chen Yingxiong when he passed the ball.

After everything was ready, he knocked back near the baseline, and the football fell right at Chen Yingxiong's feet. At the same time, goalkeeper Reina attacked and quickly blocked Chen Yingxiong's shooting angle.

And what about Chen Yingxiong? As if Reina couldn't be seen at all, he shot hard with his feet!

The football hit Leonard in the chest.

Then it bounced high and flew out of the penalty area.

Seeing that the football did not go in, Chen Yingxiong waved his hand in annoyance: "Damn it!"

"See, you are too hard, hero." Basten came up and said. "You lack changes, or you are always used to this way... You should do this..." Basten called Dalglish over, "Please pass the ball for me, Kenny, like I pass that on to heroes.”

Dalgliesh nodded: "No problem."

On the restart, the football fell to Basten's feet.

Basten also shot with his feet, but the football drew a parabola, flew over the head of goalkeeper Reina who lowered his center of gravity to save the ball, and then fell into the goal behind him.

Basten didn't end there, he said to Dalglish: "Do it again!"

After the football rolled over this time, Basten stretched out his foot in a seemingly awkward move. The football stuck to the turf, rushed forward at a very fast speed, and rushed into the goal from under Reina's crotch, which had no time to seal it.

After taking these two shots, Van Basten turned around and looked at Chen Yingxiong: "How was it?"

"Uh...I know all this..." Chen Yingxiong scratched his head.

Yes, stabbing and rubbing shots are not difficult moves. He has had shots like this before.

It's just... "It's just that I don't use it much."

"That's it. You don't object to me saying that your brain is full of muscles, right? You are always used to confronting the tough when it comes to anything, but you don't think about what if I change my approach... So," Basten said again Pointing to his head, "What you need to change is not your technique, but your thinking. From now on, you have to learn to play football with your head."

"Then all my muscles are in vain?" Chen Yingxiong spread his hands and said.

He has always been very proud of his body, because this is his capital!

"Who says it's in vain? Learning to use your body properly is also a sign of using your brain to play football. In addition, when you can score goals in this clever way and use your strong body to open a path, you Don’t you think you are even more powerful?”

Chen Yingxiong clapped his hands: "That's right!" He immediately asked, "But how do you play football with your brain?"

"Hero, I heard that some of your goals in Italy were called 'fantasia'. You should know what this word means, right?"

Chen Yingxiong nodded. It is imagination, in fact, it is inspiration. The way of playing football that comes to mind is full of all kinds of surprises that are beyond everyone's expectations.

This comes from Chen Yingxiong's bright and coquettish character that is never dull.

"You're not a dull person in life, are you?"

Chen Yingxiong continued to nod.

"Isn't it right that you follow this path on the court?"

"But some people in life say I'm a bitch..."

Van Basten glanced at him: "Do you care?"

Chen Yingxiong laughed. He really doesn't care if others say he's a bitch or a fool or something.

"But there is a prerequisite for playing football with your brain, a hero." Van Basten said. "You have to be proficient in your basic skills. When a football comes flying over, you have to know the best way to deal with it. In addition, there are many passes that are difficult to stop. You can't expect your teammates to always pass the ball to you. It allows you to stop comfortably... If you can stop a bad pass, it will become a great opportunity. So what you need to strengthen is the basic practice. If you want me to teach, I will only Can teach you this. Start with the most basic practice of stopping the ball. The key point of practice is 'accuracy'. Accurate judgment of the landing point and rotation of the incoming ball - internal rotation or external rotation requires different skills, speed, and strength. Extraordinary. When you practice this well..."

"Can I start training now?" Chen Yingxiong asked impatiently.

"You can start practicing your batting." Basten said slowly.

"Uh... batting?"

"If you want to improve the efficiency of scoring goals, the moment you hit the ball when shooting is very important. The slightest difference can make a huge difference. The selection and application of the footwork, grasp of rotation, and control of strength must be just right. Just do it. Like the rub shot I just demonstrated, if I rub it with a little more force, the football may fly directly over the crossbar, and you will miss an excellent scoring opportunity..."

Chen Yingxiong thought to himself that the goalkeeper had blocked the angle, but you still thought it was a perfect opportunity. You are worthy of Basten...

"But I have practiced hitting the ball accurately..." Chen Yingxiong remembered and retorted. "I practiced this specifically when I was practicing free kicks with Juninho..."

Basten asked him: "Are you good at making football move?"

"Ah?" Chen Yingxiong was surprised, "Do we still have to make the football move?"

"Is the football completely still when the shot is taken?"

Chen Yingxiong was speechless. When he practiced, he did keep the football completely still, because for free kicks, of course it was completely still before touching the ball.

But shooting in sports battles is different. Football is always in motion. To hit that exact spot on a moving football...that's a lot to ask indeed.

"You can do this, use your imagination, and hit the football to places that the opponent can't even think of, and even if you think about it, you can't reach it. You are ready to go, hero."

After hearing this, Chen Yingxiong was stunned: "How long do you have to practice this?"

"Otherwise, do you think it's so easy to abandon the smooth road full of flowers and cheers and choose the path full of thorns?"

"Is it very difficult?"

"quite big."

Chen Yingxiong nodded: "Then I will succeed!"

"Then start practicing, hero. This road is quite difficult."

"Brother never takes the usual path, hahahaha!"
