I Want to Be the King of Football

When you play at my age, you can easily guess the mind of a 17-year-old young player who has just debuted. It has nothing to do with how well you do.

Cruise laughs and chalks up the problem to experience.

After seeing Su Dong's inquiring eyes, he further explained the question.

Cruise's height is only 1.82 meters. In fact, he is shorter than Su Dong, and his legs are not long enough. This seems to be a disadvantage, but in fact it is not because he is a left-footed general and has excellent physical fitness. Strong resistance.

Defending a rookie like Su Dong is actually not difficult, especially for a seasoned veteran like Cruise.

He can see the path of the ball one step earlier than Su Dong, predict the situation, and defend one step ahead.

Even if Su Dong really gets the ball, it doesn't matter. His physical strength has an advantage over Su Dong, and he can stand behind him and use various small moves to harass and influence Su Dong.

You know, you're a right-footed player, your left foot is terrible, even though I can see that you've been working hard on your left foot, it's not enough, you have more confidence and confidence in your right foot. Grasp it, so you habitually use it.

When I'm defending you, I will press you in various ways, abduct you, or even let go of the gap and let you use your right foot, and I am a left-footed player, as long as you want to turn around, Turn right and I can hold it.

After Su Dong listened to it, he thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case.

It turned out that many of his self-righteous opportunities were actually the gaps that Cruise deliberately released.

This also explains why he can't take advantage of Cruise every time.

After realizing this, Su Dong felt very depressed and frustrated.

Don't be like this, you are only seventeen years old. Cruise looked at Su Dong's appearance and said with a smile, Actually, you have done a lot better than most of your peers, even better than some 20-year-olds. Centers around the age of 2 are better.

Su Dong spread his hands helplessly, But I still can't win you, even once.

Cruise smiled again, he quite liked the young man in front of him.

It was nothing at first, but after getting along and fighting for a month, he found that Su Dong had actually been improving all the time.

Especially when he stood in the moment, looked back, and compared to Su Dong who had just joined a month ago, Cruise had to admit that the progress was indeed quite big.

As long as one month, trying to close the gap is tantamount to fooling around.

But having dreams is a good thing.

Actually, I noticed that your nickname is Little God of War, and your powerful shot really has Batistuta's shadow. I have competed with him many times in Serie A. It is really similar and has that kind of taste.

Besides that, I think your moves are very smart, and you have a very keen sense of the situation. Many times I actually thought I could seal you, but you always ran out of lines that I didn't expect. , and then received the pass, which made it difficult for me to defend.

In addition, your height should now be more than 1.9 meters, your feet are very solid, you have a strong sense of passing and receiving the ball, and you have a strong sense of coordination. All these are your strengths. You should maintain and continue to improve them.

What about the shortcomings? Su Dong asked with concern.

There is no one who knows him better than his opponent. Su Dong wants to know, what does Cruise think of him?

Your shortcomings are also obvious, of course, I have to remind you that all young players are like this, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious, you are like this, so is Ronnie, so are Quaresma and Viana. In this way, it’s just that some young players have exerted their own advantages under the right tactical framework on the right occasion.”

Su Dong understands this.

You have an advantage in height,

But you are too thin, and your strength is insufficient. Whether it is upper body strength, waist and abdomen strength, or lower body strength, you have to strengthen it further. The tactical effect is greatly reduced, and even the threat inside and outside the penalty area will be greatly reduced.

What Cruise said about being unable to carry it is not just that he will be pushed out of position. More often, he blocked the defender with his body, but while the body was fighting, his technical movements were out of shape, resulting in the ball being unable to be held. Stable transmission is not allowed.

Su Dong himself felt the same way, especially when facing Cruise.

You have a lot of speed, which is an obvious advantage, but it only works when you have space, it's not enough, as a centre-forward, you have to have the ability to get hold of the opponent's dense defense. The ability to pass the ball, pass the ball and turn around makes him a qualified center forward.

When Cruise said this, seeing Su Dong's thoughtful eyes, knowing that the other party really listened to his words, he was very happy, and couldn't help but ask again: You should know Kluivert, right?

Of course, Holland is the center. Su Dong blurted out and replied.

We both entered AC Milan in the same year, but the difference is that he is regarded as a prince to compete with Ronaldo, but no one thought that he would leave in a bleak one year later, it is not his lack of ability, but Because there were too many problems in the Milan dressing room at that time, he was the strongest center I have ever seen, experienced, even more terrible than Vieri.

Su Dong was a little surprised. He didn't expect Cruise's evaluation of Kluivert to be so high.

You know, after the bleak experience in Milan, Kluivert has not been as good as before. Even if he performed well in Barcelona, ​​he has not been able to regain the momentum of the year.

Did you know? Centers or players on the court can be roughly divided into two categories, one is the core player, the other is the role player, as the name suggests, the core player is the core of the team's offense, organization or defense. , the team will build the lineup around him and arrange tactics, and the role player is the supporting role around the core player.

For example, Kluivert, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Roy Mackay are the three current Dutch centre forwards. In my opinion, Kluivert is the core player, while Ruud van Nistelrooy and Roy Mackay are the core players. They are role players, so even if Ruud van Nistelrooy and Mackay score more goals, Kluivert is the one who can firmly control the Dutch national team's striker.

Even, you may not find that fans are more likely to remember core players, and role players, no matter how well they perform and score more goals, are often not as good as core players. The reason is very simple. Role players revolve around the center of the core player. It's turning.

Su Dong was amazed.

He never imagined that Cruise would say so many earth-shattering things to him, which he had never thought of before, and no one had ever told him.

Is that so?

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is true.

Even with his sluggish performance in AC Milan, Barcelona is still willing to spend a lot of money on Kluivert and entrust him with a heavy responsibility, not only because of Van Gaal, but also because they value Kluivert's value.

As a center, Kluivert has an outstanding physical quality. He has impeccable skills in holding the ball with his back and turning around to get rid of it. He can not only retreat to meet the midfield, but also pull the side to cooperate with the two wings, which can be used in positional battles. Play a role, and may effectively impact the opponent's defense when counterattacking.

The only thing he's a little bit worse on is scoring, but you may not know it, his goal-scoring efficiency is 0.4 per game, which is quite high compared to other scorers even though he lost to Ruin van Nistelrooy and other killers. already.

Trust me, I've been training with him for a year and I know he's a near-perfect centre forward.

Su Dong could hear that Cruise really admired Kluivert very much, even admired him.

Any team that gets Kluivert just needs to equip him with good enough partners and organize tactics around him to maximize his role and power. He is the core of the team's offense.

Speaking of this, Cruise looked at Su Dong deeply.

Su, I think you should learn from Kluivert, you are taller than him, faster than him, and even I think, your running ability, your insight into the situation, your sense of timing, Much better than Kluivert, those are your strengths, and you should try to develop yourself into a complete core player like Kluivert.

If you want to be a core center, you need to do more and better than a scorer, because you don't just need to score goals, you need to do more and play more important tactical value, but you There will be more in return.”

Su Dong didn't expect that when talking with Cruise, he just wanted to hear some comments from his opponents, but he didn't expect Cruise to bring him such a big shock.

Am I like Kluivert?

Andre, are you too confident in me? Su Dong smiled bitterly.

No no no, Su, of course you are far from Kluivert now, your left foot is too bad, you must train your left foot to be as skilled as your right foot, your playing is not reasonable enough, you There's still a lot of problems with getting the ball behind your back and turning around to get away...

All in all, in many, many ways, you're still a long way from Kluivert, but you're only seventeen, you still have a lot of room to grow, your speed and agility are better than him, which ensures that you He's better than Kluivert when he's alone because he rarely does it alone.

And the ability of physical strength, tactical fulcrum and coping can be gradually cultivated. You still have plenty of time to work hard to improve yourself. The premise is that you should find a direction of efforts, don't just think of yourself as A role player who is in charge of scoring, that would be a shame.

Su Dong was deeply immersed in Cruise's words.

This expectation and encouragement of the Brazilian central defender brought him a huge shock, and at the same time, he was also a little excited.

When he saw the certainty in Cruise's eyes, he couldn't help asking himself.

Can I really do it?
