ball at foot

The days of staying in Monaco in June were the happiest days for Zhao Yaning in recent times.

Because the teammates all went on vacation in the summer, there is no one in the club now, and Coach Petit also took a lot of time to give him some special teaching.And the most important thing is about his shooting.

Zhao Yaning is a player from a winger, and the technical characteristics of a winger and a center are different, so there will be a big difference when shooting.

A real striker, when dribbling the ball and preparing to shoot, will leave enough advance for his next move when he touches the ball, that is, let the ball leave his feet some distance, so as to facilitate his own shooting.

Of course, the better the striker, the smaller the amount left in advance, even so small that people can't see it.For example, Ronaldo and Messi in the future, almost as long as they have a preparation space of [-] centimeters, they are enough to shoot.Such reserved space is almost invisible during running, so it is extremely difficult to defend them. [

The winger is different, because what the winger needs is to break through with the ball. Most of the time, what they pursue is absolute sticking to the ball, and they cannot relax in the slightest.Therefore, when they shoot, they often need to make one more adjustment to be able to shoot. Compared with the striker's shooting action, the suddenness is not as good.

Even after some wingers are changed to forwards, this problem will never be corrected for a lifetime.For example, Benzema, who will play for Real Madrid in the future, is an example. Because he debuted as a winger during Lyon, he always had a redundant adjustment before shooting, which greatly reduced his shooting success rate.

Zhao Yaning also has this problem, because he always needs to adjust before shooting, so it will always delay the fighter.What Petit taught him was how to control the distance between the ball and his feet through the pace and rhythm of running, so that he could make the easiest shot.

This kind of skill cannot be displayed by the system data, but it is of great help to a player.

During the coaching period of coach Petit, Monaco had many outstanding forward players such as Weah, Klinsmann, Henry, Trezeguet, etc. He has enough experience and knowledge in the technical training of forwards. Let Zhao Yaning know how to play the ball correctly.

"For you, don't pursue too many fancy shooting skills, lobs, volleys, pad shots, or other things, it is too difficult for you. You just practice simply Shooting is enough. If you practice shooting well, it will be enough.”

After Petit finished his opinion, he set the content of his training for Zhao Yaning.

"When it comes to shooting, my habit is to teach players how to adjust to the best angle to score. I have coached Trezeguet. His anticipation ability is definitely the best in the world. You can go to him. Take a look at the goal highlights. Every time he shoots, his body is adjusted to the most stretched angle. But there are also some people who think that it is good to be able to score goals. No matter how you score, you can score. For example, Inzaghi in Italy, he He is a typical character. He never adjusts before shooting. Whether it is feet, legs, buttocks, or head, it’s all done anyway. This is the problem of Italian football philosophy. Much the same."

Petit explained this issue to Zhao Yaning.

Trezeguet was born in Argentina and grew up in Monaco. His playing characteristics inherited the characteristics of Argentina and France-extreme specialization.These two countries are the countries that believe most persistently in technical training and ability development, so the technical characteristics of shooters are very obvious in Trezeguet.

The requirements of Italian football are different.They don't value the ability of continuous passing like the French, nor do they require players to understand tactics like the Germans. What they pay more attention to is a football concept they call fnts.The meaning of this word refers to the fleeting spark of inspiration on the football field.

Italian football and Dutch football are two different styles of football concepts.They attach great importance to defense and regard defense as the top priority. This is fundamentally different from Dutch football, which emphasizes offense.And their defensive concept is different from France and England. They don't pay much attention to the sense of position or the ability to attack. Whether it's iron gates or brutal men, Italy doesn't appear often.What they pay attention to is the player's control of time and rhythm. Through continuous movement, the space of the player with the ball is compressed, and the ability to block the passing line of the player with the ball is the core idea of ​​their football philosophy. The chain defense derived from the Internet is famous all over Europe.

Under the guidance of this concept, their requirements for offensive players have become more and more demanding.They require offensive players to have the ability to handle the ball in a short period of time. It is best to complete the action in an instant. They even require the players to pass the ball directly after receiving the ball without making any adjustments or actions. shoot.

This is also the difference between Trezeguet and Inzaghi's playing style: Trezeguet's playing style is the hunter's playing style, well prepared, full shot, stable and fierce.Inzaghi's style of play is that of an assassin, arriving erratically and leaving with one hit, unpredictable and sudden.

Which is better?This is hard to say.Trezeguet's team is Juventus, a calm old woman who needs a super shooter who can maximize the offensive opportunities they create into goals.And Inzaghi's team is Milan. Under the Christmas tree formation, the flashes of midfield geniuses are what the team relies on most. Say, more important.

"How to make quick adjustments, I will teach you. But more, I hope you can try more one-foot kicks. It may be more difficult for you to play like this, but for you After all, you have a good enough ball feel and flexibility, and the first touch has a great advantage. If you don't seriously develop your first pass ability, it will be a bit too much. Pity."

Players with a good sense of the ball have incomparable advantages when they touch the ball, whether it is passing, shooting, stopping, or unloading.They are much faster and more convenient than others when making various movements.This is a very big advantage that can be used in various ways.

Brazil is known as the kingdom of football not because their players have better skills, but because their players tend to have better ball sense. In many cases, they can even rely on their excellent ball feel to cover up their technical deficiencies.

Denilson, as well as Robinho in the future, had some of these problems.Even including Ronaldinho, because his talent on the ball is too high, ball control is too simple for him, so he also neglects technical training, so that once he puts meat on his stomach, there is no The flexibility brought by the abdominal muscles will immediately decline extremely. [

This is the reason why Zhao Yaning is very cherished in Petit’s view: his flexibility, reaction speed and sense of the ball are all very good, and he does not have the usual loose and free personality of the Brazilians. Suitable for training technology.

And his idea is to adjust according to Zhao Yaning's technical characteristics.

But Zhao Yaning also has Zhao Yaning’s shortcomings: For players who play football, when it comes to confrontation, the most important muscles are not the upper body, but the lower body. To put it more clearly, it depends on whether the butt is big enough.As long as you have a big enough butt, you can easily protect the ball by squeezing your butt when holding the ball in the frontcourt. The advantage is much greater than others.

For example, Argentina's Riquelme, he didn't even bother to run on the court, but he still didn't concede the ball. He relied on his big butt arch, and no one could stop his ball.

Those pectoral muscles and biceps are beautiful and useful, and the real confrontation of football still depends on the size of the buttocks.

And Zhao Yaning suffered too much in this regard.European and American races, especially Latin races, have a natural advantage of big buttocks in stature, and they are uniquely endowed with this advantage.As for the yellow race, there is really no comparison in terms of buttocks.

Petit is a coach, he can't change this matter.Therefore, what he can think of is to use some excellent football concepts and football skills to let Zhao Yaning avoid his own weaknesses.

And if you want to reduce the confrontation at the front of the penalty area, it is naturally the best way to kick the ball.Reducing the time of possession of the ball can reduce the time of players' physical confrontation, which is naturally more beneficial to players.

"You have excellent flexibility and ball feel, which allows you to adjust the time much shorter than others. This shortness, even in seconds, seems too long. And this allows you to react before others react. It's already shot. For you, that's the goal."

Petit thought for a moment before speaking, "It will be good for you to watch more of Totti's technical highlights."

As a midfielder, Totti is still very different from Zhao Yaning.His speed, explosiveness and flexibility are seriously lacking, but his strength, confrontation, and sense of balance are indeed the top of the front waist.But what Zhao Yaning can learn from him is: Totti is limited by his flexibility, his body is too stiff, he is not able to make perfect adjustments, and he also lacks the ability to move continuously. Therefore, in many cases, he simply kicks quickly. Out of the ball.His playing style is the most suitable for Zhao Yaning to learn from.

And Petit still has something to say: Deschamps hopes that Zhao Yaning will play as a shadow striker, and the position of shadow striker has never lacked superstars.But Pele, Platini, and Maradona have a long history, and they don't have a clear concept of a shadow forward. Many people even think that Pele was born as a center forward, while Platini and Maradona are more Sometimes it is also regarded as a midfielder rather than a shadow forward, and the concept of a shadow forward was really put forward. Since it was named trequrtst, the most outstanding ones are Baggio and Pirlo. Zola is also one, but he The environment for playing football is slightly worse, and he can't show his level. If we say that the most comprehensive technology is Totti.

His long pass scheduling, rhythm control, ball protection ability, passing ability and his long-range shooting ability are all world-class, except for the limited flexibility of his body, which makes his continuous passing ability not reach the extreme. In addition to his high standard, his other abilities are very good.

Petit is still French after all, he is not as fond of pursuing Reiki as the Italians, in his opinion, the pursuit of technology is far more practical than Reiki.After all, in comparison, technology is more practical and more trustworthy.

When training Zhao Yaning, he also had this idea in mind: it is far more trustworthy to cultivate skills than to try to figure out whether his consciousness is good or not.Instead of asking Zhao Yaning to learn from Baggio, learn those genius-like passes, and monster-like awareness, it is better to let him learn from Totti and solidify all aspects of technology. Other awareness, tactics, all rely on him Own comprehension.

What are the consequences of such a training method?Petit doesn't know, what he knows is that this kind of training cultivates talents, not geniuses.After all, he is French, and he is deeply rooted in the talent training mechanism of French football. After all, he is different from Italian football, which likes to entrust the frontcourt matters to a certain genius.

He hopes to train Zhao Yaning into a talent, and even if Zhao Yaning doesn’t have a good enough awareness, Zhao Yaning’s efforts are enough to fill the gap between superiors and geniuses, making him an outstanding player.And if he himself has enough genius inspiration to dig out his tactical awareness well, what kind of progress will he make?Petit didn't know, but in the bottom of his heart, he was looking forward to it.
