ball at foot

After settling things at home, when we arrived at the Monaco team, Monaco had already started pre-season training.

Although Zhao Yaning came a bit late, but his physical condition remained very good, Deschamps didn’t say much, and let him go to training with the team directly.

At this time, it was already mid-July, and the Ligue [-] league started in early August after the restructuring.

"One game is against Juventus, and the other is against Arsenal. Although the time is a little tight, but fortunately they are all home games, and it will not take too much effort and time."

Squillage told Zhao Yaning about the friendly match and asked him to prepare himself. Maybe Zhao Yaning might also get a chance to play.Because in these two games, the main thing for the coach to do is to adjust the lineup, and at the same time look at the state, win or lose, but the second. [

"Actually, it's mainly for making money." Squillage didn't have any scruples when he spoke in private. "Monaco is not rich now, and it should be able to make a lot of money by bringing Arsenal and Juventus to the friendly match. Taking advantage of this Time to earn more, the team's economy will be easier."

Although Monaco is a powerful Ligue [-] player, the current economic situation is indeed very difficult, and in order to relieve the pressure, Deschamps and Petit have thought of a lot of ideas.Deschamps relied on his old relationship to invite Juventus, while Petit relied on his friendship with Wenger to invite Arsenal. With the Premier League and Serie A champions coming, the team can also make a little money.

But Zhao Yaning doesn't care much about these things.What he cared more about was the training plan that Mr. Petit arranged for him.

"Your training volume will be greater, but don't complain. If you keep exercising at this age, you will suffer in the future. Physical fitness and balance training are your main physical training items. I will add gymnastics to your training Training, because in addition to the sense of balance, your sense of rhythm is not outstanding. You have to develop your ability in this area, which will greatly improve you. I will relieve you of strength training and speed training, because There is not much room for improvement in this area, and this kind of training is very energy-consuming, you need to save energy for other training.”

"Besides, you need to add more passing and receiving courses to your training with the ball. Your passing and receiving ability is not enough, which is a big limitation for you. Let's put your shooting ability aside for the time being. After the rhythm training is completed, I will teach it to you. Your adjustment and preparation for shooting. Your current shooting adjustment is still the routine of a winger. There are too many preparations and too cumbersome. It is not suitable for you. I hope you can learn the striker’s adjustment, which will be good for you.”

"In addition, your set kicks are very interesting. Free kicks are very good, I have seen them, but the corner kick ability is not strong. You have a lot of shortcomings in the arc selection of corner kicks and the judgment of the landing point. In this regard, I suggest to Ronaldo Learn from Teng. He has very good experience in this area. Your footwork is trustworthy, and you can achieve success with a little effort."

Having said that, Petit paused again, "As for free kicks, I can see that you have worked hard. But now Monaco takes free kicks from Roten, and you are not the first choice. If you are still willing to practice If you go on, you can continue to practice, but I won’t arrange training time for you. If you want to practice, you can practice more. I don’t arrange or ask for it, but if you don’t understand, you can ask me. If you need it Things, you can use anything in the team. But with all due respect, free kicks are hard work. If you want to practice a world-class name, you can't do it in a few years. I want to practice like Platini , Ten years is indispensable. Don’t expect to improve quickly in a short period of time. This kind of technology, the more you reach the top, the harder it is to improve.”

Zhao Yaning nodded, and it could be seen that Coach Petit had put a lot of effort into these arrangements. Such specific arrangements were very specific to his characteristics.

"One more question: You haven't practiced any weird oriental martial arts, have you?"

Zhao Yaning was stunned by Petit's words. He shook his head, not knowing why Podi would ask this question.

"It's fine if you don't have it. Your flexibility and explosive power are very good. I thought you might have been exposed to those. If you want to learn something, let me know and I can give you some advice. Yoga, kung fu, or something All good, don't practice blindly. These things are not systematic. It may help, but it is more likely that the training methods are unhealthy and cause damage to ligaments, spine, and joints. Their slogans are very deceiving. Sex, what is the pursuit of the limit of the human body, but where is the limit of the human body? What if the training is overdone? They can't come up with corresponding data and data. What football training needs most is the combination of physical fitness and technology, not the blind pursuit of physical fitness. You have to remember that."

This time it was Zhao Yaning's turn to be depressed.He bet Coach Petit said that because he was Asian.In the eyes of the French, Asians always have a lot of messy and mysterious things.These things are very attractive to ordinary people, but to an old coach like Petit, mystery means that there is no detailed statistics and no credible empirical basis. To put it bluntly, it is unreliable synonym.It is better for players to have less contact with things that are not credible.

And he makes a lot of sense.Whether it is kung fu or yoga, these things are used for ordinary people to train their physique. For athletes, if they want to show the effect, they must increase the amount of exercise.However, there is no systematic test data for these things, and the damage caused by excessive amounts will not be worth the candle.

"Besides, considering that you are an Asian, your eating habits are different from ours, so I specifically browsed through the Chinese food recipes. I don't really understand what I read, but I just know that many of the things you eat are very strange... I I don’t know if those things are good for the human body. I have consulted Chinese doctors, and they said that Chinese medical skills have detailed records, but I don’t have the energy to study them. My advice to you is: I don’t have any dietary requirements. Not strict, you can eat Chinese food. However, some ingredients still have to follow the rules of the club, no salt, no vinegar, no contact with marinated products, meat is sea fish and beef, less oil, less alcohol, vegetables And the amount of water must keep up."

Chinese food without salt?I might as well eat western food.Although Zhao Yaning nodded, he slandered a few words in his heart.But since the old man is willing to look through Chinese food recipes for his diet, it is not easy for him to contradict him.

"Moreover, it's your flexibility training. People of the yellow race are the race with the best flexibility and the fastest reaction speed. Just look at your gymnastics and table tennis. You have an advantage in this aspect. There is no yellow race in my training database. Human data. Therefore, my training for you is temporarily based on the training of South American mixed-race children. Generally speaking, mixed-race children are superior in physique, and this aspect is also better, but after all, there is still a difference from yellow race people. Best If you have information on this in your own country, you can try to find it, or countries around Asia, such as Japan, South Korea and other countries."

Zhao Yaning could only smile wryly at this.He still knows the details of sports training in China. Statistics, research success, and training materials in this area are not very complete.As for the neighboring countries in Asia, not to mention that he doesn't know anyone who has it, and he doesn't want to come to the information, even if he can find the information in Japan, he is not very willing to use it.

After all, as a child who grew up watching anti-Japanese movies and TV series for many years, he really doesn't have a good impression of Japan.

"If there are no opinions on these, then it's fine." Petit's attitude this year can be regarded as satisfactory, at least not pretentious, nor contradictory, which is considered acceptable among young players, " The other training is running training. Because the season is about to start, I have to use some simple methods to train your running. See the colored arrow-shaped plastic paper pasted on the turf on the court Is it? The green one is your running position guide. You play on the right side, and you can follow that running position.”[

On the court, colorful paper arrows were pasted all over the ground. Zhao Yaning looked at these arrows in amazement. This was the first time he had seen such a training method.I have to say that although the running route drawn in this way is a bit rigid, it is simple and clear, and it is very helpful for training running tactics.

Zhao Yaning soon fell into an obsession with his running line, which made Coach Petit even more satisfied with him.

"This is Coach Wenger's method. He is really good at this. They are Alsatians, and they are still German at heart. They are much better at the research and application of tactics than the French."

Petit fell into memory. Wenger is now coaching at Arsenal, but he was also a meritorious coach of Monaco before.He established the Latubi base, the most outstanding youth training base in Ligue [-] at that time, and trained a group of stars. At the same time, he also contributed a lot to Monaco's tactics.

It's just a pity that a team like Monaco can't keep such a good coach.

Are Arsenal... much better than Monaco?Petit sneered twice.The commercialization of the English league was early, and the current economic conditions are good. Wenger can still struggle for a while. In the future, when other people's economic conditions improve, how much more ambitious can Arsenal be than Monaco?At least in Monaco these years, no one is afraid of the European war, but Arsenal, except for the famous European soft-legged shrimp.

What is the actual strength? Let's see in a few days when we fight.

On July [-], Arsenal visited Monaco.

Arsenal's coach is Arsene Wenger, who is also the most successful coach in Monaco's history.He took Monaco to the runner-up of the European Cup Winners Cup and the semi-finals of the European Champions Cup, which is a record-worthy honor for Monaco.

It's just a pity that he never won the league championship in Monaco. He was able to participate in the European Champions Cup that year because the league champion Marseille was relegated due to a match-fixing case, and the runner-up Paris Saint-Germain believed that it would be against the status of the club's giants to play for Marseille. This enabled No.3 Monaco to participate in the European War and advanced to the semi-finals in one fell swoop.

It was precisely because of that semi-final match that Wenger believed that the club was strong enough, but the upper management of the club refused to cooperate and lacked ambition. After leaving in anger, he defected to a Japanese club.

But it was precisely because of his success in Monaco that he was favored by Arsenal and later became Arsenal's head coach.

After a closer look, the relationship between Wenger and Monaco is not very good.But according to Coach Petit, Wenger is a very magnanimous person, and he has long forgotten about the unhappiness of the year. Now that Monaco is mentioned, he still has a lot of affection for Monaco.

How much of this statement is true and how much of it is false Zhao Yaning does not know.But seeing that Arsenal's main players have all come to Monaco to play, this statement does not seem to be false.

"You will be the starting right midfielder for this game." Before the game, Deschamps found Zhao Yaning, and his words were as straightforward as ever. Big, the main position is yours. Play more confidently, calmly, and don’t worry too much about problems.”

These words gave Zhao Yaning a lot of confidence. For newly transferred players, nothing is more important than the trust of the coach.

The match was played at Monaco's home stadium, the Stade Louis II.This stadium can also be regarded as one of the most famous home stadiums in Europe: this is the venue for the European Super Cup every year, and it can be regarded as having seen a lot of wind and waves.And this stadium is also famous for another thing: the midfield line of this stadium is on the border between Monaco and France, and its two goals, one in France and one in Monaco.

In the game, Monaco's lineup was quickly listed, which is not difficult for Deschamps. Anyway, does Monaco have too many good players? The depth of the lineup is already average. Now facing Arsenal, basically It is his preset main lineup.

And these people include:

Goalkeeper Roma, an Italian, was hired from Piacenza in the Italian Serie B when Didier Deschamps took office. After playing as the starting goalkeeper for a season, his level has been convinced by people.Although he is too old, he is already 28 years old, but for goalkeepers, it is the golden age.

Left-back Evra, a player who just transferred from Nice in the French second division this summer, is just 21 years old, strong and strong, and his speed has been noticed by the head coach of the French youth team Domenech.

A pair of central defenders, Squillacci and Julian Rodriguez.The two of them and the right back Givet are all youth players of Monaco's own team. Although they are not very outstanding in level, they are familiar with each other and play very well. [

The midfielder is Zikos, who transferred from Athens ek this year.This is a Greek player who has not played in the top five leagues before, and his level is not well known.

And the central midfielder in front of him is the Argentine Bernardi.He was transferred from Marseille last year and is a player with both offense and defense.

As for the midfielder position, it is Monaco's captain and the team's first star, Giuly.Known by fans as an electric mouse, he has outstanding skills and excellent consciousness. What's more rare is that although he is only 164m tall, he has a strong personality and tough style, which is deeply loved by fans.It is precisely because of this that although he was a player brought from Lyon when Tigana came to power, he has now become the captain and core of the team.

Originally, his position in the Monaco team was right winger, but because his best features were his ability to connect teams and find opportunities to attack, Deschamps let him play as a midfielder. He played as a midfielder in Lyon. The waist can also adapt to this position.

On his left and right sides are Roten and Zhao Yaning.

Roten is a native French player who also came to Monaco last year under the coaching of Deschamps.His left-foot long passing skills are very good, coupled with his blond hair and handsome face, he is also called left-footed Beckham.

It's just that Roten's luck is not as smooth as Beckham's.As a Paris Saint-Germain fan, he dreamed of joining Paris Saint-Germain since he was a child, but he was rejected by the youth academy in Paris when he was a child.His physical fitness is not outstanding, and his breakthrough skills can only be regarded as mediocre. It is difficult for such a player to stand out in France, but he honed his long-passing skills and became famous for it.

And until now, his biggest wish is to go to Paris Saint-Germain one day and play for Paris.

On the right side, the current main winger fell to Zhao Yaning.His breakthrough skills are now something that Deschamps values.In Deschamps' heart, I hope that Zhao Yaning's breakthrough, Roten's long pass, and Giuly's connection can drive the entire team.

As the team's arrow figure, it is the team's leading shooter Saban Ninunda.As a player from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, he was scouted out of the Swiss Super League by Rennes coach Paul Le Guin a few years ago, and moved to Monaco two years ago for 2000 million.Last season, he ranked fourth in the scorer list. Although it doesn't look very high, considering that the three people in front of him are Bordeaux's Portuguese striker Pauleta, Auxerre's superstar Cisse, plus Lyon's gentle killer Sonny Anderson, there is nothing wrong with his fourth scorer list: after all, Pauletta is firmly seated as the top striker in Ligue [-], and Cisse, as a new star, has long been stared at by the giants. Sony Anderson is also a first-class Brazilian striker who once played for Barcelona. There is no shame in losing to them.

In addition to the main lineup, the main substitutes on the team's bench also have several good players.

One is Abidal, another youth player from Monaco.He is a tall and tall defender who mainly plays as a central defender, but because he is a relatively rare left-footed player, sometimes he will also play the position of left back.He has a solid defense and excellent physical fitness, but because of his taller stature, he is slightly worse in offense with the ball.

He is not young anymore, but he has never been in the main position, because Monaco's left forward is Roten who is not good at surprise attacks, so Deschamps hopes that the left back has a little breakthrough ability.He took a fancy to Evra.As for the central defender, Julian Rodriguez has been playing steadily, and Squillac played very well in Ajaccio last season. Their performance naturally made Abidal lose his position. In the summer, Lille tried to buy him with an offer of 30, which was very close to a successful negotiation.

But after Zhao Yaning arrived, Deschamps changed his mind.Because Zhao Yaning can play on both sides and is not good at defending. If Zhao Yaning can play on the left sometimes, then it is not suitable for Evra to play as a defender.Keeping Abidal, who has a solid defense and insufficient offense, is also good as a tactical rotation.

The other substitute is the Croatian Pursau.Speaking of which, he has a deep relationship with Zhao Yaning, because before he came to Monaco, the team he played for was Ajaccio.He's a tall striker, he's heading and finishing very well, and he's very good.

And then there is another substitute for the team, Eduardo Cisse.This is the difference between this Cisse and another famous shooter Cisse.He's a midfielder and he's on loan.However, what has something to do with Zhao Yaning is that it is Paris Saint-Germain who loaned him to Monaco.In this game, because it was a friendly match, Deschamps didn't want to form a defensive lineup with double midfielders, so he put him on the bench.However, considering that Bernardi's defensive ability is not outstanding, it is estimated that when encountering a strong enemy in the future, he will be used as one of the important means to strengthen the team's defense.

Such a team is basically everyone on the team.It is awe-inspiring to say that Deschamps has also taken a fancy to some other players, but due to financial problems, they have not been able to transfer successfully.

Such a team is not bad, but looking at the people standing opposite, the Monaco team pales in comparison.

Henry, one of the best strikers in the history of Monaco, even if there are George Weah and Trezeguet competing for this title, he is also the most powerful contender.

Bergkamp, ​​the elegant ice prince, is the core player of Arsenal.

Vieira, the pillar of the French team, Silva, the Brazilian midfielder who has just moved to Arsenal.

Pires, Ljungberg, Arsenal's most well-known pair of flying wings.One is Plan B of the French team, Qi Zu's stand-in, and the other is the Premier League Footballer of the previous year, who started the season in a hot state in the second half of the season.

Ashley Cole, Keown, Campbell, Lauren, a defensive line that has won the praise of the whole of Europe.Coupled with the British national goalkeeper Seaman, it can be said to be picky.

Not to mention, behind them stood Arthur Wenger, the most praised coach in France, a great coach who conquered England with beautiful offensive football.

Such an opponent really tastes good.

Looking at them, Zhao Yaning felt an inexplicable excitement: Facing such an opponent, the game is only interesting.Let me see if I can compete with you guys.
