Chapter 8 The Gap
"Because you were deceived by your own instinct!"

With Lao Bing's cold words, Yang Yang suddenly seemed to understand many things.

"Everyone wants to control everything and make predictions about possible future crises, as do defensive players, so Ronaldo didn't sprint at the fastest speed at first.

"But when he suddenly changed his speed, it completely disrupted your plan and made you a little bit at a loss, so when you saw his fake action, you couldn't help but react, because you had to make up for your previous misjudgment."

At this point, Lao Bing pronounced the sentence coldly.

"Sometimes, in order to make up for the mistakes made before, people will unknowingly make bigger mistakes."

Yang Yang understood and knew where the problem was.

Simply put, it is change.

Use this speed change to catch your opponent off guard and lead your opponent to make mistakes.

And those stars with rich defensive experience can often rely on their own experience and ability to ensure that they will not make mistakes to the greatest extent, but even they still have no effective way to face the top Ronaldo.

Except foul!

Thinking about it more deeply, I have recently improved my performance in the team's circle-scrambling game, and the ball-scrambling efficiency is very high. Isn't it because I always feint, pointing east and west, isn't this also a change?

"Shouldn't it be that simple?" After thinking for a while, Yang Yang asked his own doubts.

"Yes, it's not that simple."

"The change of pace is just a trick, the real key is Ronaldo's excellent pace and adjustment ability."

The screen changed again, the two footprints of Yang Yang were hidden, and the two remaining footprints of Ronaldo were enlarged.

"Look carefully, he can control his steps as he likes, the distance of each step, and the landing point of each step. These are all designed by him, and facing different opponents, he will adopt different strategies."

"When he faces you and the defensive dummy, the reason why he speeds up earlier is because you are mentally prepared."

"For him, there is no difference between half a step early and half a step late, but for defensive players, it is completely different."

Yang Yang understood and was completely convinced. At least he was clearly aware of the terrible gap between himself and professional players, especially players like Ronaldo.

You know, the pendulum is just one of Ronaldo's famous stunts in his peak period.

But it is such a pendulum that seems simple and easy to learn, but it contains such a profound doorway.

This is only a small part of Ronaldo's assault, which is a star skill. It can be seen how broad and profound Ronaldo's assault was at his peak. I am afraid that it has gathered the essence of Ronaldo's playing wisdom in his career.

"There is a problem." Yang Yang is now like a good student who is open-minded and eager to learn, "You said that Ronaldo's landing point, stride frequency and stride distance are all designed in advance, but is he thinking about these issues during the game?"

"No, the game changes so quickly, there is no way he has time to think."

This time Yang Yang didn't understand again, "Then how did he do it?"

"Muscle memory." Lao Bing said concisely.

Now Yang Yang understood.

In fact, when he was in China, the coach who taught Yang Yang to play has said more than once that the gap between professional and non-professional players is astonishing and comprehensive. But in the final analysis, apart from physical fitness and awareness, the most important thing is muscle memory.

Just like Ronaldo, every time he touches the ball and every step he takes is accumulated from countless times of playing and training in the past 20 years.

So, for him, playing this way seems to be an instinctive habit.

"I now understand why he is Ronaldo." Yang Yang praised sincerely.

To become a superstar, talent is indeed a part, but the most important thing is to practice hard.

"You have limited time now, you only have one night, so you should focus on practicing this pendulum trick. As for how much strength you can use, it still depends on yourself." Lao Bing still said mechanically.

Yang Yang understands that soldiers are more expensive than elites, and what he needs most now is a skill.

There is another great advantage of training in the super training ground, that is, the speed of developing muscle memory is faster than in reality, but even so, it is impossible to learn how to master the pendulum in one night and integrate it.

Time was running out, and Yang Yang couldn't set any goals for himself, so he could only hurry up and practice hard.

…………

…………

It was a cooler than usual Saturday morning at the skate park.

Yang Yang was the same as usual. After getting up early, he told his uncle and came to the park for training with the ball bouncing.

Playing football pays attention to practice makes perfect, practice three nines in winter and three days in summer, there must be no slack, especially the basic skills.

As the saying goes, one day of practice, one day of merit, one day of no practice, ten days of empty space.

Since it was Saturday and there was no class, Yang Yang trained more in the morning than usual, doubling all the items, and he didn't stop panting until he was sweating profusely.

When he was about to walk to the bench beside the road to rest, he found a strange middle-aged Dutch man sitting on the bench at some point.

He is about 50 years old. He is wearing a sports cap with a golf logo in the middle. Under the brim of the cap is a serious middle-aged face. His temples are white and his body is slightly bloated. The gray sports POLO shirt is stretched by his big belly, making him look like he is pregnant.

The middle-aged Dutchman sat on a bench, holding a bottle of water in each hand, looking quite dignified.

When Yang Yang came over, he passed the water in his left hand, but he didn't say a word.

"No, thank you." Yang Yang didn't know him, so naturally he wouldn't take it.

But the Dutch middle-aged man was unmoved. Instead of taking it back, he handed it closer, "Let's have a chat."

From this person's expression, Yang Yang understood the meaning, this is a stubborn guy, it is not easy to reject him.

"Thank you." Yang Yang took the water, but didn't open it, but put it aside, and took out a towel from his backpack to wipe off his sweat.

"I've been observing you for several days." Under the brim of his hat, the middle-aged Dutchman squinted his eyes and looked at the graffiti-covered wall in front of him.

"Huh?" Yang Yang didn't listen carefully.

The middle-aged Dutch did not repeat, but asked, "Are you from Bakken Academy?"

"Yeah." Yang Yang nodded, Bakken Academy is just to the north of the park, so it's not surprising to be guessed.

"Playing for the youth team of the Almere club?" the middle-aged Dutch asked again.

"En." Yang Yang still nodded.

"John Ripp and Dick Femple have good eyes, how did you get in there?"

Yang Yang silently glanced at the middle-aged Dutchman, but did not answer. From the tone of the other party, he felt that the other party seemed to be very familiar with John Repp and Dick Van Poel.

"Do you know Mr. Lei Pu?" Yang Yang asked back.

"Of course, we are teammates of the youth team." The middle-aged Dutch replied lightly.

"Ajax?" Yang Yang was a little surprised.

John Repp came from Ajax, which is well known in the Almere team.

The middle-aged Dutchman nodded lightly, "He is a direct descendant of the youth academy, but I am not. It is just that I was fortunate to be a teammate with him in the youth team for two years, and then he entered the first team, and I..."

Although what he said was enough, Yang Yang could vaguely hear that his development in Ajax was not ideal.

"Your basic skills are poor." The Dutch middle-aged man changed the subject.

Yang Yang was quite embarrassed. Although he was a football senior, it was too straightforward, right?

But he still nodded his head, acknowledging the fact.

"You should be sixteen or seventeen years old, right?"

"sixteen."

"John Repp moved all of Ajax's youth training to Almere. At your age, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass the examination?" The middle-aged Dutch looked at Yang Yang indifferently.

These can be deduced from just a few words, and it can be seen that the opponent understands Ajax's youth training system very well.

"Didn't John Rip and Dick Femple explain the situation to you?"

Yang Yang hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I said it."

"Then you still come here every day and insist on extra training? Don't you know that you are doing some useless work now?"

"Why do you think it's useless work?" Yang Yang asked again.

"Is not it?"

"Of course not. No matter what happens in the future, as long as you are willing to pay, you will definitely gain something."

"But in the end you still failed the assessment, isn't this useless work?"

Yang Yang nodded, "Until the last moment, who knows what the result will be?"

After a pause, Yang Yang looked directly at the Dutch middle-aged man, "Sir, I think you should also be a football practitioner. You should know that this is like a football match. It lasts 10 minutes. I have only played 85 minutes. Although I am still behind, who dares to say that I have no chance to come back?"

Before the Dutch middle-aged could speak, Yang Yang continued vigorously.

"In [-], Ferguson's Red Devils Manchester United came back. They even reversed Bayern Munich to win the championship in the final and created a great miracle of the Triple Crown. Isn't this the charm of football? If Ferguson and his players were behind Bayern Munich at that time, all they could think about was giving up. Would there be a final reversal myth?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in the Netherlands looked slightly moved at the young man standing in front of him. Yang Yang's words touched him, allowing him to see a faint ray of sunshine in his gloomy and oppressive mood for the past half year.

He never denies that he is a stubborn person, but the successive blows in recent years have brought him painful lessons, and even made him a little frustrated, but he is not a person who listens to other people's persuasion, no matter how his relatives and friends around him persuade him, he is indifferent.

But now, Yang Yang's words made him feel close, and even resonated with him a little.

As long as the game is not over, there is still a chance.

The words were not speculative, Yang Yang was not willing to talk to him, thanked him for sending him a bottle of water, put on his backpack and went back.

The middle-aged Dutchman behind him silently watched Yang Yang's leaving back, and suddenly the corner of his mouth raised, and he actually smiled.

"What a funny kid."
