Chapter 1533 The Way and Technique of Professional Players

There is an old Chinese saying: the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual.

The meaning of this sentence is very simple, everything pays attention to Taoism and art.

Tao is principle and theory, and art is the technique and way to practice principles and theories.

What the master can teach are principles and theories, but to really put these principles and theories into practice, you have to rely on skills and approaches, which can only be understood by everyone, and no one can teach them.

Just like in football, everyone knows that the best areas to shoot are in the middle of the goal and in the rib sector on both sides.

Everyone also knows that the so-called shooting technique is to adopt different shooting methods in different environments.

This principle seems very simple, but it is difficult to master it and use it freely.

As players trained by the formal youth training system, each of Ajax's young players has a very solid foundation, whether it is basic skills or tactical literacy, they are no different from adult players.

Then why is there such a big gap between young players' performance on the court and adult players?

The difference lies in the technique!

It is basically the same, but the difference in technique has caused players to perform far worse than adult players on the court.

And this skill cannot be cultivated overnight, it can only be accumulated over time.

The court is changing rapidly, and any kind of complicated scene may appear. How to deal with such sudden changes is not what the coaches can teach at all. The players can only slowly explore and accumulate experience by themselves.

At this time, Yang Yang and Harvey Alonso, who were born as top superstars, seem to be very effective in training young players, because they all came from young players, what pitfalls they stepped on, and what they encountered They all know the problem well, and have their own set of coping strategies.

Therefore, they can answer the doubts in the players' minds and point them in the direction.

This is the biggest advantage of a head coach who is a professional player.

...

It was as if during shooting training, Yang Yang went off the field in person, leading the players hand in hand.

The whole world knows that Yang Yang is known as the superstar with the best shooting skills in the history of world football. He is known as the encyclopedia of shooting. He has scored almost all kinds of shots.

Yang Yang arranged shooting training for players such as Jovic, Van der Beek, Neres, Sancho and Mullen, but the first thing he did was not to let them go off the court to practice directly, but to let them watch the game and training video first. .

Yang Yang specially edited the video of the away game against Dynamo Kiev, in which Jovic wasted a lot of opportunities.

"Pay attention here." After Yang Yang fixed a certain frame, he pointed to Jovic's shoulder and tapped it twice, "Did you see that? When I tried to grab a point, my body didn't adjust. Then the following leg swings are not natural enough, and the movements are not stretched enough."

"The final result of this shot was that it didn't hit the right part and went wide, but I believe that even if it hit the right part, it was impossible to score the goal because of the lack of power."

Jovic was convinced when he heard it. He recalled his situation at the time, and it was indeed the case.

Yang Yang signaled Jovic to stand up, demonstrated it by himself, and told him one of the very subtle tricks.

"When the ball is flying towards you and you want to hit the goal directly, your shoulders should face the direction of the goal, with your feet as the axis, so that the movement can be stretched, the force can be in place, and the shot can be powerful. .”

Jovic demonstrated on the spot, it was indeed as Yang Yang said, but soon there was another problem.

"Boss, I have a question."

"you say."

"I often have the feeling that the harder I try, the more I try to get the ball into the goal, the more difficult it is."

Yang Yang nodded with a smile, and patted Jovic on the shoulder, "This is a good question."

After scanning the crowd present, Yang Yang asked with a smile: "I believe that not only he met, but also many of you, right?"

Everyone nodded, this is indeed a very common phenomenon.

"Actually, not only you, but me, or Messi, or Cristiano Ronaldo, or even Maradona and Pele, I'm sure, everyone is in your situation because it's the norm. .”

"Power and precision are often inversely proportional."

Everyone frowned when they heard this, obviously not particularly understanding this sentence.

"It's like Jovic, his current strength is fixed here. If he shoots harder, the accuracy of his shots will decline. If he pursues accuracy more deliberately, the result will be the strength of his shots. If it is reduced, the strength will affect the speed, so the strength and precision are inversely proportional."

"Each of us has limits. If we want to practice shooting well, we need to master the delicate balance line between strength and precision. When we need speed and explosive power, we should move to the strength side. We need angle and arc. When it comes time to adjust to the accuracy side, but it is basically impossible to try your best to kick a high-precision shot."

"Is there no way to solve it?" Sancho asked with concern.

"No." Yang Yang shook his head with a smile, "I have always said that football is actually based on practice, just like our daily training. Is this for improvement? In fact, you and I both know that this kind of improvement is important for us. In terms of words, it is negligible, including strength, including speed, including technology...the improvement is very small."

"The key is practice makes perfect. That is to say, the purpose of our training is to maintain proficiency. In the same way, if you want to improve your shooting, there are two routes. One is to continuously improve strength, and the other is to continuously improve accuracy. Usually In general, we all insist on two walks, and the strength and precision are improved at the same time."

"No player can achieve the ultimate in strength and precision at the same time. Even if I am in the game, I can only maintain a 50% shooting accuracy rate at most. Therefore, what we can do is not Keep practicing, keep improving your upper limit and lower limit, and in this way, that delicate balance line will naturally improve."

All the professional players on the scene agreed with Yang Yang's words, and at the same time, they seemed to have opened a window and seen a door, because they all had a further understanding of the wider world.

Many times, media reporters and fans see players' mistakes and think they are bad, but they are not.

Any professional player who can gain a foothold in the Eredivisie League can control the ball with their feet more than ordinary people use their hands. They can use their feet to do things that countless people cannot do with their hands.

But why are there so many mistakes?

The answer lies in what Yang Yang said just now, they must go all out in every action in the game.

In other words, if even they have to make mistakes, if any ordinary person came to the field and faced the same situation, then basically there are only two words, ignorant comparison!

...

In addition to the power and accuracy of shooting, as well as some practical tips for shooting, Yang Yang also specially corrected and pointed out some problems of several players, and introduced to them many things he had accumulated and learned over the years.

For example, how to quickly swing your legs to hit the goal, how to secretly deceive the goalkeeper...

All of these are Yang Yang's own experience, which he unreservedly passed on to the players in front of him.

And there is one point that he emphasizes the most, and that is practice.

Yang Yang has never thought that he is a talented person. He has always believed that the super training ground is the key to his success today, and his own persistent and hard training.

"As I told you just now, training is to improve proficiency, improve your upper limit and lower limit, but at the same time, it can improve your self-confidence."

"If you think back, do you remember some of the wonderful goals you scored over the years, or some relished passes, dribbles or assists? At that moment, did you have a kind of that you couldn't do? Impossible feeling? Do you feel particularly confident?"

All the players present nodded their heads. They have all played football for many years, so naturally they all have such experiences.

"Why do many teams like to grab the start?" Yang Yang asked again, but he quickly gave the answer, "Because when a goal is scored shortly after the start, the original nervousness will disappear, which is easy. Let's go above and beyond."

Everyone nodded again, indeed.

"Of course, excessive slack may also be used by the opponent, but you should find that after scoring a goal, not only the player who scored the goal, but the whole team will become more confident."

"Training can improve self-confidence, and scoring first can also improve self-confidence, but no one can guarantee that they can score first in every game, so we must work hard to improve the level of training and improve our confidence through training."

The players immediately understood why Yang Yang repeatedly asked them to practice more and work harder.

Training is indeed a very difficult thing, especially in addition to the normal training class, it is undoubtedly very painful to practice again, but just as Yang Yang said, the purpose of training is to improve proficiency and improve Use your own game skills to improve your confidence.

The higher the technical and tactical level and the stronger the team's competition ability, the higher the training intensity.

Although Ajax is a young team, although the team is full of young players, Yang Yang has placed extremely high demands on Ajax from the very beginning, not only the coaching staff is at the Champions League level, Even the daily training programs are high-intensity.

Now, he hopes to use these two weeks to further improve the team's training quality, and at the same time give targeted guidance to the players to make up for his shortcomings and improve his confidence through training.

Only in this way, only by making continuous progress, will Ajax have the strength to fight and have the slightest hope of winning when they face the three strong teams in the Champions League group stage.

As long as this is done, it will be considered that Ajax has lost this season, and when the team makes a comeback next season, it will only be stronger than it is now!
