Chapter 432 Braniff's bumpy promotion journey

From this day on, Braniff, like a young player, began to practice juggling and ball control, and occasionally pulled a teammate for one-on-one drills.

When the first team trains, other teammates will also do the same, but it is extremely rare to take more than an hour to train with this kind of ball feeling.That may only be seen in 'football lovers' and 'juvenile team training'. Even the youth team training is rare, because the feeling of the ball is something that you have to adapt to, and it is not in the formal training plan.

After most players, it cannot be said that their technical strength has been finalized, but no matter how hard they work, they have not improved much.

This is also the reason why a player's skills are rough at the beginning and his career skills will not be outstanding.

Braniff didn't care at all.

Most of his teammates have a normal relationship with him, and they will not take the initiative to talk to him. The only friend, Vardy, is envious of this. Braniff feels very honored, and he trains harder.

After persisting for two days, Braniff found that he improved very fast!
At the beginning, it is already very good to be able to jump more than a hundred balls in a row. Jumping the ball sounds very simple, but you can rely on perseverance and control. Of course, it is nothing to do with the first few balls. After a long time, sometimes the control is not good. If there is strength, there will be some mistakes.

Two days later, things were different.

Braniff obviously found that his control of the football has been strengthened, and he can maintain the same strength with each kick. Even if the football deviates a little, he can easily control it and turn it back.

This is only part.

also.

Braniff found that he could easily make extraordinary moves that were only considered "spectacular" in the past, and he became more sensitive to the opponent's movements.

Braniff's "head-up" partner is Alan Hutton. Alan Hutton is one of the few players who can talk to Braniff because he occasionally helps Braniff train. Alan Hutton The promotion of Braniff feels the most profound.

At the beginning, it was difficult for Braniff to get past Alan Hutton. Basically, he succeeded only once three or four times.

The probability of this is actually not low.

Naturally, there will be no help from others in a one-on-one match between the two. As a defender, Alan Hutton has excellent defensive ability. He knows that Braniff will choose to break through. He just needs not to be deceived.

This kind of heads-up is actually beneficial to the defensive side. He doesn't have to consider whether Braniff will pass the ball.

But two days later, things changed.

Braniff's movements became more and more skillful and sophisticated, and his feet were so flexible that Alan Hutton grinned. He needed 'luck' to grab the ball, otherwise he could only defend close, and the situation became three or four times , to be able to grab the next time.

This is not to say that it is easy for Braniff to pass Alan Hutton. The premise of a one-on-one match is that Alan Hutton cannot defend closely, otherwise Braniff will not be able to do so without strong explosive power. Get rid of Alan Hutton.

As practice progressed that day, Alan Hutton decided he would never play Braniff again.

After Braniff managed to shake Hutton away again, he said something awkward, "It's boring to fight you one-on-one, I'll go find David!"

"..."

Alan Hutton was being shaken continuously, feeling depressed and depressed, so angry that he wanted to slap Braniff.

He held back.

But Braniff's next words made Alan Hutton feel a lot better, "Thank you for training with me, I bought you a special gift, it should be in your closet now."

Alan Hutton grinned suddenly.

After the afternoon training, Alan Hutton couldn't wait to return to the locker room, opened his closet, and found Braniff's so-called gift—an exquisite 'female' backpack.

In fact, backpacks are for men, but some are more feminine and some are too delicate.

Alan Hutton grinned as he looked at the backpack, and a picture was sketched in his mind: a rough black-faced man took a few products and went to the front desk to check out. The cashier told the price, and then the black-faced man took out a After rummaging through the small bag for women for a long time, I finally found the change, handed it to the cashier, and said ostentatiously, "It's pretty! My boyfriend gave it to me..."

"vomit!!"

Alan Hutton was so disgusted that he almost vomited, and quickly threw away the things in his hand. When he heard a sound in the corridor, he immediately picked it up again, looked left and right, and quickly stuffed it into his handbag. Decision to stay away from Braniff.

----

Braniff didn't know his kindness, and Alan Hutton was disgusted, but he thought his decision was very wise.

In the past, Braniff never gave things to other people. He didn’t have this concept in his mind, and few people would give him things. It was Vardy who reminded him, “Giving things to each other can deepen friendship”, Braniff The husband decided to give Alan Hutton a backpack.

For the first 'gift', Braniff still chose a long time in the mall, and finally valued a backpack.

In Braniff's mind, there is no concept of 'what you like may not necessarily be liked by others'. He thinks the backpack looks good, so he thinks other people will like it too.

Of course, these are just incidentals.

Braniff is happiest about his rapid improvement, and he has more trust in Zhang Yang.

really!

The boss said he could do it, and he really did it!
The first league game in early February was against Wigan Athletic, where Braniff also started.

In this game, Zhang Yang gave Braniff enough freedom to see how much Braniff has improved in a few days.

Under the effect of "Spiritual Bewitching", Braniff's dribbling ability has improved quite quickly, but referring to the situation of Livermore and Simpson, the improvement speed will not be too fast, and the potential will take about a month Only a part of it can be developed, and the rest will need to be gradually improved in the future.

In fact, this has nothing to do with ability, and is directly related to the experience in the game.

Now Braniff is facing an experience problem. In the game, he doesn't know how to use his foot skills reasonably, and he doesn't have a clear judgment on his ability.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, Braniff made two mistakes. One was that he should have passed the ball, but he chose to do it alone, and was finally robbed by the opponent. The other time was that he broke through two players in a row, but let He stuck to the bottom line by himself, and dribbled the ball out of the bottom line without proper control.

Two turnovers are equivalent to sacrificing two offensive opportunities. The teammates didn't say much, but they must be very dissatisfied with Braniff's "independence".

Zhang Yang generally understood the situation.

Braniff's improvement is still obvious, especially in the latter time, he used his superb foot skills to sway past two opponents in a row, but he didn't pay attention to the position, and the result was that he took the ball out of the baseline.

The process of dribbling represents an improvement in itself.

But Braniff obviously didn't adapt to his own improvement. He couldn't apply it accurately in the game. Using the analogy of playing a game, controlling a character and facing each other one-on-one, experienced players will definitely observe the opponent's HP, equipment and occupation. , to judge whether you can 'PK' pass, but if you are a novice, just go up and hack randomly. When you can pass, the opponent has already run away ahead of time.

Braniff couldn't judge how much chance he had to pass his opponent. He just became more skilled at his feet, but he didn't improve his experience, so he would naturally encounter similar problems.

This is a matter of experience.

If you want to improve your experience, you can only continue to participate in the competition, but the key games must not be used to improve Braniff's experience, otherwise the loss will not be worth the loss.

This game doesn't matter much.

The best news before the game is the return of Darren Bent and Simpson, and the recovery of other players is also very optimistic. The injured players have not been able to start, and it will take some time to adjust, but Darren Bent Simpson and Simpson are all sitting on the bench, which is enough to boost the team's fighting spirit.

Although Braniff made mistakes, Millwall's overall performance was quite good.

In the 29th and 44th minutes, Millwall scored two goals respectively.

With two goals in hand, Zhang Yang encouraged Braniff to adapt quickly, accumulate more experience, and explained to other players, "I hope Kevin can play some games. Flexibility, which requires adapting."

It turned out to be arranged by the coach!

No wonder Braniff is behaving so strangely!
The rest of the team blamed Braniff a lot less.

In the end, Millwall won the game 2-0. After the game, many media commented on Braniff, and all the comments were negative, because Braniff made six mistakes. The performance is also very poor, and the help to the entire team is too small.

"The Times" gave Braniff a score of only four points, which is the lowest in the entire game. "The Irishman doesn't seem to know how to play. He is out of shape throughout the game. He has completely lost his previous excellent performance. Maybe it's bad The weather has affected him, I hope he can recover soon..."

Comments from other media are also all criticism.

Fortunately, Braniff only performed poorly in this game. He was the best player in Millwall before, and Millwall won the game again, so the media will not be too harsh.

In this atmosphere, Zhang Yang urged Braniff's training even more, and even found Livermore to act as Braniff's 'sparing partner'. At the same time, he also asked Chodrick to pay special attention to Braniff's physical condition, after all It was January, and the weather in London was not very good, and the loss outweighed the gain due to training injuries.

Many people can feel that Zhang Yang attaches great importance to Braniff.

Wise was puzzled by this, "Kevin has already performed very well, why did you ask him to exercise before others? Can he still exercise after surpassing others? And I think cooperation is more important than doing it alone."

That's how it looks to the coaches.

Every coach likes the team to play exquisite coordination, rather than a single player to single out the opponent's entire defense, because the exquisite coordination represents the overall strength and the role of the coach in the team, but like some For clubs with many stars, such as Real Madrid, Real Madrid in the past and even now, many goals rely on the individual performance of the stars. What does that have to do with the head coach?
Therefore, the role of the head coach has been weakened a lot.

Zhang Yang smiled indifferently, "I think Kevin has potential in this area. He should develop properly, and maybe he can perform better."

"is it?"

Wise is deeply skeptical.

In this atmosphere, Millwall ushered in an important game in early February——
The second match between the League Cup and Tottenham Hotspur!
