Chapter 99

Super training ground.

In the square white line area of ​​four square meters, Yang Yang is skillfully performing various push and pull movements.

Pendulums, cycling, oxtails, croquettes, Marseille slalom...

Yang Yang's feet kept changing all kinds of technical movements, over and over again, and even often mixed several technical movements in a row, with the adjustment of the left and right feet and the change of rhythm in the middle.

This is a very boring training. It may feel fresh at the beginning, but after a long time, it will inevitably become tired and even resist, but Yang Yang always insists on training, and he will not get tired at all in the super training ground. , You will forget the time when you practice.

These are all technical moves that are very practical on the court, but they remain the same, and many of them are very close.

For example, Ronaldo's pendulum is very close to Brazil's famous cycling, and even to some extent, the pendulum is a variant of cycling, but Ronaldo has carried out targeted optimization according to his physical condition.

The pendulum that Yang Yang is currently using is actually not the same as Ronaldo. It is also optimized according to his own physical fitness. This is a technical movement that belongs to him.

However, the situation on the football field is ever-changing, and the situation faced by players is also changing at any time, which requires skilled mastery and application of more technical movements to cope with various situations.

After entering the first team, Lao Bing from the super training ground asked Yang Yang to use this training as a daily warm-up item.

It is now a four-square-meter area, and it will gradually reduce the scope and increase the difficulty in the future.

When the time came, Lao Bing shouted to stop.

Yang Yang felt relieved, and he couldn't help laughing bitterly after stopping.

His body is not tired, but his mind is tired.

Forcing myself to focus on this kind of boring training is a very painful thing, but it is a huge help for Yang Yang to improve his performance on the court.

Not long ago, the Dutch Telegraph interviewed Manchester United's top striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The Dutch center mentioned in an interview that he insists on speed-up training every day, but strangely, the whole world knows that he is the worst at speed.

"What I want to improve is not my speed on the court, but the speed of my inner self."

"Through this day-by-day, year-by-year speed improvement training, I always feel that I am improving, even if it is only an extremely small improvement of 0.01 seconds, but that is also progress."

Ruud van Nistelrooy's remarks brought a lot of excitement to Yang Yang, and he very much agreed with the Dutch center's statement.

Many times people fail, not because they can't do it, but because they don't believe they can do it.

This may be a bit mysterious, everyone has their own limits, but powerful spiritual power can often help a person to constantly break through their own limits, even if it is only a tiny fraction of a second.

But in football games, it may decide the success or failure of a pass, stop, shot, and steal.

Yang Yang is still far from the height of Van Nistelrooy, but that is his goal.

And through the recent training, Yang Yang has also tasted the sweetness, that is, his [Ronaldo's Assault] is more handy to use on the court, especially when facing the opponent's strict defense.

"Lao Bing, what type of player will I be in the future?" Yang Yang asked suddenly on a whim.

He was reminded of Van Nistelrooy. It is said that the Dutch center first played as a scavenger, and then the position slowly moved forward, from scavenger to midfielder to attacking midfielder and then to the center, and finally in the position closest to the goal reached the peak of his career.

Sometimes Yang Yang wonders, if Ruud van Nistelrooy doesn't play as a centre forward, is he just an ordinary Eredivisie centre-back instead of the world's top scoring machine?

"As I told you before, the bucket theory is very suitable for assessing the strength and potential of a professional player. If Ruud van Nistelrooy hadn't played as a center forward, with his football intelligence and hard work, I believe it would be a good one. A very good player, but it's definitely not possible to get to where you are now."

Yang Yang nodded, the so-called bucket theory is that the shortest board determines how much water a bucket can hold.

The same is true for the strength and upper limit of professional players, so Yang Yang is desperately trying to make up for his shortcomings.

"Then, from the amateur league to Den Bosch to Heerenveen, is he groping for his own position all the way?" Yang Yang asked again.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was a scavenger in the amateur team. When he arrived at Den Bosch, he switched to playing in midfield, but his scoring ability was outstanding. Coupled with his physical fitness, he switched to a center after joining Heerenveen. unstoppable.

When the Dutch center joined Den Bosch, it happened to be Yang Yang's age.

"It's hard to say, there may be both active and passive factors." Lao Bing answered objectively.

Yang Yang nodded knowingly. As a professional player, especially a young professional player, he often does not have any decision-making power, because you have sold yourself to the club, and you can play which position the head coach asks you to play.

To put it a bit pessimistic, don't look at Yang Yang's momentum in Ajax now, but if Ronald Koeman adjusts the team's tactics one day and no longer needs his type of right winger, then Yang Yang You will be pressed on the bench in minutes, and you won't even be able to enter the roster.

"Football is a team sport of eleven people. Everyone needs to integrate themselves into the whole team. If you help the team, the team will naturally help you. This is a process of mutual achievement."

"If you want to do that, then you have to change your style of play according to the different needs of the team, for example you partner with a centre like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with Wesley Pine. With a striker like Greg, or an attacking midfielder like Van der Vaart, that's obviously three different ways of playing."

"Now the team needs you to attack on the right, so you can continue to improve yourself according to the current trend of the right wing, but you need to make yourself more comprehensive, because there is no certain day when the team changes a manager, or After selling a few players and changing the overall style of play, you need to change the way you play, and you have to be able to adapt to that change."

"A player's career is always self-adjusting, Ruud van Nistelrooy is a scavenger in an amateur team, a midfielder in Den Bosch, a central striker in Heerenveen, of course it's the team's arrangement. And requirements, but his own adjustment is also very critical, if he does not adjust in any step in the middle, there will be no Van Nistelrooy today."

"This is just a career plan. From the perspective of the players themselves, you are seventeen years old now, and you are still young. Of course, there is no problem in using your speed to charge on the flanks, but you have to consider what if you lose your speed one day, what should you do?"

Lao Bing's reminder sounded like an alarm bell, ringing in Yang Yang's ear, causing him to tremble.

There is one of the most vivid examples in the Ajax team, Van der Vaart.

The captain of Ajax was recognized as a genius as soon as he made his debut. His talent and talent made everyone unbelievable, and even many people thought that he would become the world's top superstar. His speed and skills are called People are amazed.

But suddenly, an injury removed his meniscus, made him lose his speed, and hit him so hard that he now has to retreat to the middle of the midfield and start playing more of a playmaker. character of.

Yang Yang has trained with him. He knows how good Van der Vaart's footwork is, how good his technique is, and how strong his personal ability is, but without speed, all these are useless on the court and can only be hidden.

And what caused Van der Vaart's situation today is just because of that injury.

In the same way, if Yang Yang lost his speed like Van der Vaart did, would he be able to successfully transform?

In Yang Yang's hometown, his parents often taught him a sentence, "Being a thief first guards against forage for three days."

The meaning of this sentence is to prepare for a rainy day and take precautions before it happens.

He is only seventeen years old, and his career has just begun. There are countless things to do and hard work.

After Yang Yang re-firmed the direction of his efforts, Lao Bing quickly sent him a consolation prize.

The player who accompanies him to practice every day will be promoted from the original Eredivisie level to the Eredivisie level.

This made Yang Yang very happy because he took a step further.

But more still feel the pressure and hardship.

He feels very clearly that professional football is like a pyramid, and the more you climb to the top, the more difficult it becomes.

This can be seen clearly from the length of time he takes to level up his opponent each time.

Lao Bing also told Yang Yang that the higher the player's strength level, the gap in technical strength is often no longer obvious. Instead, the key is tactical literacy, the use of skills, the experience of the game, and the player's own mental strength.

Yang Yang also understands this.

To say that he entered the first team from the second team, it has only been over a week, and it is impossible for him to improve so fast, but why is his performance on the court so different?

Quite simply, he is more confident.

Sometimes, the change that a strong self-confidence can bring to a player is reborn.

Not only Yang Yang, but the entire Ajax team.

When the Champions League had two consecutive defeats and the group stage was on the verge of elimination, everyone collapsed and everyone was seriously lacking in self-confidence, which caused Ajax to worry about gains and losses on the pitch, and it was difficult to even face Club Brugge. as.

But after beating Brugge and successfully emerging from the group stage, the team quickly regained confidence in the Eredivisie League and the Dutch Cup. Through game after game, the team regained its self-confidence step by step.

This may not be obvious enough on the pitch, but Yang Yang believes that in the second half, Ajax will impress all teams.

Ronald Koeman's young squad is not lacking in strength, as evidenced by last season's Champions League quarter-finals.

With their confidence restored, this young guard will continue to amaze the entire European football scene.

And Yang Yang will also be one of them.

It's Friday again, and it's one step closer to the launch. I'm in a very uneasy mood now. Please vote more and support me!
