ball at foot

What he just said just made him feel light, but this sentence surprised him a little.

Maradona in 1986?That's a monster...

That was the World Cup that Maradona made a god!In the history of the World Cup, no one can have that kind of performance!

"In the 1986 World Cup, Argentina scored a total of 14 goals on the way to the championship, of which Maradona scored five goals and five assists. That is to say, he contributed ten of the goals. Among them, it is the only one. Not to mention, in that World Cup, he averaged as many as 13 dribbles per game, with a success rate of over 70%. He undertook almost all the offensive tasks of the team. It’s a terrifying 19 dribbles, with a success rate of 90%. Even without the hand of God, it’s still the same that one person blows up the entire England team.”

In this regard, Zhao Yaning also nodded again and again. In the Premier League this season, he averaged 4 dribbles per game, with a success rate of 38%. On the whole, he is already the top dribbler in Europe. .And 67 per game... sounds like a dream.Such words even seem like bragging. I remember those Brazilians bragging. There are players who averaged 5 times per game. The difference here is that they are bragging and Maradona is kicking.The king of the ball is indeed different.Only such a person made Bilardo proudly say: 'Attacking three people is enough'. [

"But what I want to say is not his extraordinary performance, but the source of his data. Think about it, how many goals and assists did Maradona have in the group stage that year?"

"If I remember correctly, one goal and four assists in the group stage, four goals and one assist in the knockout round." Zhao Yaning calculated and came to a conclusion that surprised him.

"Yes. That's what I want to say." Figo nodded and said, "This is how a truly outstanding player plays. When you encounter an opponent who is not strong, you should find a way to tap the potential of your teammates. Let them play well. When you encounter a real strong opponent, you can take the opponent by yourself."

Figo paused, "Actually, this is also the common style of play of the best organizers. Zizou's career scoring rate has always been low, but against Italy, Brazil and other strong teams, his scoring rate It reached 0, which is the goal efficiency of a top shadow striker. And if you think his French national team was too strong at that time, Platini is another example: the progress of his Serie A career The goal rate was 44. He was a shadow forward at that time. Such efficiency was already terrifying, but when he was in the national team against strong teams, his goal rate was 0. This is the top center. Scoring efficiency."

Generally speaking, a center forward's scoring rate is around 0, which is top-level. In current football, only Ronaldo, Sheva, and Henry are in this area.As for the shadow front and front midfielder, it is around 6 to 0, which is the top level.Of course, these data have to be after excluding a large number of set kicks such as penalty kicks and free kicks that seize the ball.For example, although Zhao Yaning scored 3 goals, if penalty kicks and free kicks are excluded, there are only 0 goals, which is about 4.It's top notch, but not too dazzling.

And people like Zidane and Platini who are stronger when they play strong teams are, after all, a minority.For example, Zico, who was a contemporary of Platini, played in the South American League all the year round. As a shadow forward, his scoring efficiency was as high as nearly one goal per game. However, when he played against strong teams, his scoring rate was only 0 goals.Such a problem is also one of the important reasons why he has always been considered inferior to Platini.

Figo paused and continued, "Why is the midfielder the most important position in a team? The most important reason is that strikers can only seize opportunities or create opportunities for themselves, while midfielders This position can create opportunities for teammates. People who play in this position can make teammates better, and they can mobilize the entire team. And this is also the direction of your efforts.”

The attacking midfielder and forward are the most eye-catching positions on the football field.Of course, because of the high number of goals and the high appearance rate, the striker will get more favor and pursuit in many cases.

But in the highest level of football, the midfielder position is, after all, the truly dominant position.Almost all the players in the historical hall of football are in this position.

From the earliest Di Stefano running back and forth between the two penalty areas, to Pele playing in the shadow forward position, from Cruyff's total attack trend, to Maradona, Platini , Zico and others fought for the front, until the 90s, Baggio, Zidane, Ronaldinho, generations of people who were recognized as the ruling era, were all midfielders or shadow strikers.

This position is the position of the king.Born to be a king, the biggest task in itself is not how to conquer the city, but how to lead the group.Only when the generals of the country are not the country, and the soldiers are in hand-to-hand combat, is the time for the king to draw his sword and fight against the enemy.Compared with doing everything in person, governance is the real skill.

Zhao Yaning is a player who was born as an assaulter. His speed and dribbling skills have always been his pride.And when the training of passing and shooting has been carried out continuously, and when there has been significant progress in this area, a very important

The question also began to confuse him: should he attack first by himself, or should he pay more attention to letting the team start the offensive?

And now, Figo gave him an answer.In general games, more attention should be paid to how to mobilize teammates, make teammates improve, and make the team stronger, rather than making oneself conspicuous.Only when the team can't win the game and the situation is difficult, can I stand up.

"Actually, this kind of truth is easy to understand in La Liga." Figo said to him, "Spanish football pays attention to cooperation and cooperation, so most of the time, everyone plays football by cooperation. But there are times when it takes great individual skill to solve a problem. If you're there, it won't bother you."

Zhao Yaning was born in French football, and French football has always been the one that pays the least attention to cooperation among the five major leagues.And after he left France, he arrived in England. The English football environment also does not value ground cooperation. In addition, Liverpool's lineup has always been poor and the rotation is serious, which did not let Zhao Yaning develop good habits.

And if there is anything else that is an accomplice to making Zhao Yaning's problem more serious, it is his excessively amazing physical strength.He returns to defense, supports, draws sideways, advances...he goes almost everywhere in a game, which also makes him have too much unnecessary physical exertion. If it is someone else, after playing a few games, there will be no In order to save energy, I started to learn not to go back and forth every game like that.But Zhao Yaning's physical strength is too good, and with the help of the system, he is almost never afraid of running, so that until now, he still likes to stick to the ball.

This is why Benitez asked Figo to persuade him: Figo is also an organizer from the wing. He knows these things very well, and his wisdom can also allow him to find the right Chinese to communicate with. Zhao Yaning explained that he is the most suitable person to explain Zhao Yaning’s confusion.

Moreover, Benitez also saw Zhao Yaning's faint hostility towards Figo.Letting Figo help Zhao Yaning will also help him integrate into the team. [

Thinking of this, Zhao Yaning also felt a little emotional: Benitez is actually paying attention to his playing skills.It’s just that Liverpool is not Monaco. The training here is more for maintaining the state, not for the players to make continuous progress so that they can be sold for money. Therefore, he once thought that the coaches here don’t pay much attention to his own progress, but come to think of it, Benny Tes was able to continuously activate Carragher and Gerrard, and even brought out Garcia, Aimar and others by himself. How could he not pay attention to technical training?

"Just, why didn't Rafa come and tell me by himself?" Zhao Yaning asked Figo.

"You should know that Rafa's background is not very good." Figo answered his question, "He has never played in the real first division. He has only played in the third and second divisions, and he is not a good player. Once , he encountered a similar thing, he went to teach a player how to play football, and the other party's answer was: you have never played, why teach me?"

Zhao Yaning immediately understood, “Is he afraid that I will say the same?”

Figo nodded, "He is a smart man, but he is very sensitive and fragile. Of course he can tell you what to do in person, but if you refute his opinion, he has nothing to refute, so , he let me speak."

"He doesn't need to be so cautious. I will never refute what the coach says." Zhao Yaning muttered.

He really didn't expect that Benitez seldom gave him technical guidance, and it turned out to be for this reason.He never thought of these things himself.

When he was in Monaco, Coach Deschamps was always straightforward.As for Coach Petit, criticizing him is also merciless.Thinking about it now, maybe Deschamps is the former captain of the national team after all. No one dared not listen to what he said.And if Benitez gives technical guidance, he may really be laughed at.

If you don't come from a player background, if you want to be a coach, it is much more difficult.Benitez's caution and Mourinho's domineering are actually to make the players more obedient.It is indeed much more difficult for these people to succeed than retired players like Ancelotti.

"But, haven't you been having trouble with him recently?" Figo asked back, "He wanted to sell you, but he hasn't apologized to you... In fact, such a thing is hard to forgive. You don't hold grudges about this matter." ?”

Zhao Yaning frowned, not knowing what to say.After a while, he spoke again, "So...he can see it as part of the job, so I can see it too. Forget it, I'll go to him and make it clear with him."

It's okay for the captain to be confused, why does the coach do this?Zhao Yaning smiled bitterly in his heart.Indeed, he was dissatisfied with Benitez about this matter, but that was only a transfer matter.How could he be disobedient when it came time for the competition?

But he also knew that he shouldn't do this, which is really rare.Zhao Yaning thought that he, who only talked about tactical interests and not emotions, would never realize his mistakes in his life.

That being the case, let's see what he has to say.
