ball at foot

It is a good thing to meet Deportivo again, but Zhao Yaning is very unhappy to meet Monaco again.He even had some doubts whether UEFA did this on purpose.Last season's Deportivo were beaten terribly by Monaco, and this season just allowed them to continue to play together.And when I transferred from Monaco to Liverpool, they put Liverpool and Monaco together-this approach, no matter how you look at it, seems to be an arrangement.

Zhao Yaning didn’t want to set foot on the Louis II Stadium as an enemy so quickly.The fans there were still cheering for me yesterday, and they will boo me tomorrow. How can this make me feel embarrassed?

UEFA shouldn't be doing it on purpose, right?Zhao Yaning thought about it this way, but still suppressed his thoughts.After all, he still feels that UEFA will not do this: the fun of football lies in the unknown, and it also lies on the field. If you rely on off-field affairs to have fun, then how is football still football?Wouldn't that be a farce?

But Benitez next to him didn't care about this. He was writing the name of his last opponent, Olympiacos, in his notebook, and while writing, he was still chanting, Monaco is not strong, Deportivo is not strong... This made Zhao Yaning even more upset.

But generally speaking, the lottery draw this time was pretty good.Deportivo can't be considered a strong team in the first tier, and Monaco has undergone a major change, so they don't know what their strength will be.Meeting them is better than meeting teams like Milan and Juventus. [

After the ceremony, Zhao Yaning and Benitez walked out together.

"You still have the national team to play, so you don't have to go back to the club first." Benitez said, "Anyway, there is no game this week, and returning to the club is just to get familiar with the environment. If you need to go back to the national team The game, just go to play first, and then you can play directly in the game against West Bromwich Albion after you come back. And after that game, it will be the first game against Monaco in the European war. I think you are familiar with Monaco Now, think about how to deal with their defense."

Because Liverpool has a European Champions Cup qualifier on August 25, the third round of the Premier League has been rescheduled.Now that the fourth round is over, even if Zhao Yaning returns, because of the national team competition, he will have to wait until the fifth round.Therefore, Benitez also asked him to go back to the national team to play first, and then consider going to Liverpool.

Zhao Yaning still feels sorry for Liverpool. After all, until now, he has not had the opportunity to play for Liverpool, which makes him feel a little bit sorry.

However, after learning about his thoughts, Benitez answered very straightforwardly, "Don't worry, you just missed three league games. We will definitely not win the championship this season anyway. It’s also so-called after three games.”

This statement surprised Zhao Yaning, "We must not win the championship? Isn't it too early to say such things now?"

"I'm talking about season planning." Benitez replied, "Our team's bench depth is not enough this season, and the players' ability is not enough. It's okay if we only look at the main lineup, but our team has many players. Everyone has a history of injuries, and you can’t expect them to be free from injuries for a season. Considering injuries, lineup depth, and schedule, it’s easy to come to this conclusion: it’s impossible for us to win the championship this season. "

I also know that it is difficult to win the championship, but the problem is that it is very depressing for you to say so early.

Zhao Yaning looked at this coach, he really didn’t know what to say about him.Say he is stupid?Zhao Yaning didn’t dare to say that.He has a master's degree in high-energy physics, can program computers, and can lead a team. He is a person with a high IQ no matter how you look at it.But how to talk and do things is so depressing?

"Coach, may I ask, what is our goal for this season?" Zhao Yaning asked, "The Champions League championship is more unlikely than the league championship, so what is our goal for this season? Cup championship or something else? Son?"

"This season? The league results ensure the top four, so that we can still play in the Champions League next season. If we can play in the Champions League, we can earn more than 1000 million yuan. In the Champions League, we can only do our best , as long as you can play like a giant that Liverpool should have, you don’t have to expect too much.” Benitez replied, “At the same time, we don’t have any requirements for our cup results.”

"It's that simple?" Zhao Yaning didn't expect that the team was so unpursuing.

"The pursuit of performance is just that. But we also have some other pursuits. We need to change the way the team plays... This process is gradual. Now Liverpool is only suitable for counter-attack football. We need to guarantee results on the one hand. On the one hand, try to continentalize and technicalize football tactics. This is a very cumbersome process, and it is also the focus of the work.”

Zhao Yaning felt quite comfortable with this statement.Ever since he arrived in Monaco, he has always accepted the idea of ​​learning to play offensive football. He has heard of England’s long pass and slam style. For a long time, how to turn this football into a technical style has been of concern to many people. The problem, Zhao Yaning also wants to try, how to change this atmosphere-what can be done for football is a very noble pursuit for him.

However, it is still a pity not to win the championship.

"Can't you give it a try? Isn't it good to try to win the championship?"

"We can't do it." Benitez shook his head, "The Premier League champions have always been the most competitive. Many things are difficult to understand, but there is a simple arithmetic problem that you can easily understand: Since it was upgraded to the Super League, except for 2000, at any other time, the league points of the champions have been more than 85 points, and there has even been a phenomenon of winning the championship with 88 points in this league. In general leagues, 75 teams compete for the championship , The required points are about 80 to [-] points to win the championship, but the Premier League needs to win two to three games more than other leagues. To play in the Premier League, you need a strong league stability. Any miss can cause big problems. Not to mention, there are three strong teams in this league, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United. In these six focus games, if you lose more than two games, it may be a season. In vain. Winning titles is difficult in this league and it is very difficult for a team like Liverpool."

Benitez paused before speaking, "Last season, Monaco's real opponent was only Lyon. Except for Lyon and Paris, they didn't meet the third Ligue 86 team in the cup, but even so, they only won. It reached [-] points. For the Premier League, this is the basic line to win the championship, and Liverpool does not have this level."

This great truth made Zhao Yaning extremely depressed. These words are all right, but they are really ugly!Before the start of the season, it was too annoying to talk about injuries. [

But at this time, he couldn't say anything. He couldn't just quarrel with the coach in Monaco, right?

"Go back and prepare well, and then earnestly play according to what I told you."

Zhao Yaning nodded, and reluctantly agreed to the statement.

It seems that Liverpool's road will not be particularly high-spirited

After bidding farewell to Benitez, Zhao Yaning can stay in France for another two days, and then go home with the Olympic delegation.

In the past two days, a lot of things happened: Monaco had the advantage of playing at home in the UEFA Super Cup match against Valencia, and they won the game 2-0.On the Premier League side, at the buzzer time during the transfer period, Manchester United spent 2800 million pounds to buy Everton's Wayne Rooney. This buzzer deal also made him the king of bids this summer.

Liverpool's 2000 million signings were originally record-breaking, but it was only after the summer that they realized that compared with Manchester United and Chelsea's handwriting, it was simply too petty.

Not only these things, Zhao Yaning is too lazy to care about them.He spends more time with Alizee and his son.

However, he still had time to find a free time, and entered the space to check his income.

In the match against Argentina, he exchanged jerseys with Carlos Tevez after the game, and the card he got was a card that made him speechless.

"White card: Te homesick, fighting in his own country, stamina 3."

"Of course there are such cards." Raul in the training space smiled, "Ambition, homesick boy...these cards are very interesting."

Zhao Yaning shrugged. He found that many cards had a strong spoof meaning, and he was too lazy to pursue meaning.

It's not too late to talk about those things in the future. Now, it's more important to look at the other card I got.

"Multipleness 3, the Balkan Eagle." Zhao Yaning looked at the card rewarded by the Olympic champion, "What is this attribute used for?"

"The so-called versatility is that you can display a high level of ability in multiple positions." Juninho explained, "Your current attribute is only 10, which is actually very low. This is also in line with your strength. , there are still too few positions where you can play well, that is, you are world-class in the positions of winger and attacking midfielder, but you are not good at other positions. Attacking midfielder, left winger, winger, you are all bad. You can’t even play positions like central midfielder, defensive midfielder, or full-back. Enhancing your versatility is to make it easier for you to play in positions that are not suitable for you, so that you can play more Make more use of your strength. It's just that the value of 13 is still low, and you are still useless in other positions.

This statement made Zhao Yaning a little discouraged, but he remembered again, "I found that it seems that the off-court attributes have a great effect. My big game became a post-20s, and I played in three finals. Every time I performed well, I myself I don’t believe it’s me. These attributes, shouldn’t they enhance other values?”

"No, of course not." Juninho laughed, "These attributes are to ensure that you can better display your strength, not to improve your strength. You also know that your value is not every Every game can be fully utilized, for example, your steals and markings are 13, but do you really try to defend well? You can do 13, but what you really do is far from it."

"The so-called competition performance is to ensure that you can perform to the greatest extent during the competition. Stability means that you can perform at a high level at any time. And versatility means that you can perform in other positions..."

"What about the temperament?"

"It's the enjoyment of your football," Juninho replied.

In this case, Zhao Yaning remembered that his temperament is only 14. It seems that playing football by himself is really not good-looking... But those things can still be taken slowly in the future. [
