Chapter Seventy-Two: Enjoy the Moment
Sven Mislintat sat in the stands, his sunglasses blocking the sun, but not Ding Yue's goal. He could see it clearly.
Put down the notebook, gently clap your palms, and... The Lille fans next to them looked sideways.
Sven Mislintat then realised that this was Lille's home stadium and immediately stopped his unwise behaviour. Then pick up the notebook and pretend to write something.
In fact, in the eyes of Sven Mislintart, the most wonderful thing about this goal was not the last loaf goal, but the off-ball run that got a single knife!
Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, the criteria for evaluating a player are mainly from the perspective of having the ball and not having the ball.
The player evaluation model of the larger European clubs or the professional advisory group entrusted by them is based on these two perspectives, and then the statistics are made according to the specific technical indicators, and the game training data is statistically quantified and then fed into the model evaluation, and then the level is divided according to the level and improvement space of the players.
Based on years of experience, such a database can correctly evaluate the current strength and development of players, and the potential room for improvement will not be underestimated, but sometimes overestimated because players do not have a good environment to improve and develop potential such as injuries, etc., so the principle of not underestimating and scientific quantification methods is to ensure that new stars and stars are well found and recommended to develop in the right team, without missing opportunities.
In this way, the intuitive feeling of the player will slowly reach the stage of understanding at a glance, which is the result of progress in a scientific way, from simple research and analysis to complex to inductive summary to simple, which is the best way to look at things objectively.
This is also the most modern assessment method that Sven Mislintat is now using.
However, data is only data after all, and if you want to observe a player in the most intuitive way, you still have to observe it on the spot.
Possession of the ball technique is usually the easiest to see, but also the audience cares, most of the spectators follow the ball, only 1 of 22 people control the ball, there is the ball and basically the team is in the state of offense or from defense to offense, from receiving the ball, to the ball, this process may be a kick out of the ball, or it may be from stopping, controlling, turning, passing, passing or shooting.
On the first page of the record book, several aspects of the stop-control escort are classified in detail. These sub-categories are all followed by a tick. Those who accidentally picked up this page may not know why, but Sven Mislintat knows very well what it means - this little skill of this player has been recognized by him to the point of going to Dortmund. There are also some handwritten records of his observations at the scene.
Everything else was in his head.
Does Ding Yue know what to do on the court, whether he will handle the incoming ball reasonably, and whether he can use his skills reasonably?
All of this is intuitively reflected to Sven Mislintart through his performance on the court. In general, in the first half, Ding Yue was constrained by Saint-Etienne's overall performance, and there was nothing worth mentioning.
But the second half only lasted eight minutes.
It shows some of the things Sven Mislintat wants to see this time.
……
Lille, who had lost the ball, began to go crazy as Galtier had expected.
The two sides began to open up the game, which was the most anticipated way for the audience to play.
Eden Hazard remains a source of attack for Lille.
Sven Mislintat watched Hazard's performance with a wry smile. In the thirteenth and eighteenth minutes of the second half, in just a few minutes, he twice staged a good show of three people in a row, but unfortunately the last pass was slightly worse, but under pressure, he used his own advantages, avoided his shortcomings, protected the ball, adjusted his pace to receive the ball in the most standardized posture and turned to the ball, and then he could often rely on his body flexibility to do deformation technical movements.
It's horrible!
Sven Mislintaatt's own boring scouting report shows that there are definitely no more than twenty active players who can do this, and Eden Hazard is one of them.
Just look at it, Sven Mithrintat has his own channels, and it is entirely possible to guess that Hazard must be in the bag of the big team now. This kind of player who tends to be perfect in terms of technical stability and rationality in the use of technology, who has the ability to make complex difficulties simple and fast, and who can make a thunderstorm on the flat ground in the game, which giant does not want?
Sven Mislintat also wants it, but the budget has strangled it in the cradle from the first second he has this idea..... forget it, don't think about it, let's take a good look at Ding Yue.
Come and don't be rude.
When Lille made several unsuccessful counterattacks, the players who had accelerated for more than ten minutes also needed to rest.
Saint-Etienne was in possession again.
The ball was passed from Matuidi to the retreating Payette. At this point, having learned the lesson of the first goal, Lille's right-back finally got his hands on Payette. Unable to turn around, Payette had to take the ball back a few steps.
Sven Mislintat also looked at Payette, but there were a number of off-field factors that led him to drop the player, with many sources suggesting that he was not a player to settle for and could have any kind of friction with the club.
No matter how good the ..... of such a player is, I don't dare to ask for it.
E-Revelli stepped forward and then circled from behind one centre-back to another. And Ding Yue, because Payette was not facing the front, he did not step forward. Instead, he ran to the middle of the pitch and left the space behind him to plug in his right wing-back.
Sven Mislintat dragged his chin and took his sunglasses off. Squinted at Ding Yue's running.
Running without the ball is ..... less easily spotted than with the ball.
But the players were off the ball most of the time on the pitch, and 21 men were on the ball. So, what the players do when they are off the ball is more important than the state of the ball!
This was the case throughout the game. Whether attacking or defending, it needs to cooperate with the team's off-ball movement, which constitutes the so-called formation and tactics, so the off-ball performance is usually the most important concern of the manager.
As a scout for the head coach, it is naturally one of the options that he is most concerned about.
There is no problem with Ding Yue's enthusiasm for running, this kid can take the initiative to catch the ball very actively, and as a new player, a person who is unfamiliar to the players and fans of the team intervenes to take the initiative to run to the empty block to receive the ball and respond instead of beckoning for the ball on the spot. This is very rare.
It's a sign of his fit into the team, and it represents his determination to fit into the game.
Payette couldn't see E-Revelli, let alone Ding Yue.
He could only pass the ball back to Matuidi again. Then cut inside and also went to the middle....Matuidi made a backheel and slipped the ball to Payette, who had already run past,
At this time, Ding Yue also cut from the right to the middle, Payette and him were not parallel to the running position, the two were four or five meters apart, but they were already very close.
In Sven Mithrintat it looks like two of the brightest men in the Saint-Etienne team....what kind of combination will it work together and what kind of sparks will come out this time... He's looking forward to it.
In fact, Ding Yue also likes to ask for the ball next to Payette... Cooperation, smart people choose to cooperate. It's not because they're kinder or anything... It's that they're more rational.
The two people in the middle have already dodged away. The combination of Matuidi + Christophe Landlin has certain limitations and does not help the team much to advance. At this time, the team's overall ball play is very dependent on Payette and Ding Yue, and the team's advance can only be through both sides, or let the central defender's long pass bypass the opponent's midfield and go directly to the head of the center forward.
It was supposed to be a side-path routine.
But it's as if there is a soul in the heart. The two wingers sparked in the middle.
Payette poked his toes, stepped on the ball, and then turned past an opposing midfielder - took two steps and then stuffed the ball straight forward to E-Revelly, who was leaning on the opponent's central defender - E-Revi used his body to push against the Lille central defender behind him, won the ball, and then adjusted, and the outside of his right foot bounced to Payette on the left....
Ding Yue, who finished passing the ball, did not stop for a moment, and immediately ran forward.
E-Revelli also ran diagonally to the left after finishing the ball, and Payette ran straight in the direction of E-Revelli.
For a while, Lille's defense was chaotic again.
Two centre-backs, one was ripped away by Erevelli's running position, and the other was left to stare at Payet, who was speeding over.
Wait a minute!
Sven Mislintat stood up. Ding Yue.....
Ding Yue and Payette slammed the door towards one of the opposing central defenders.
The last central defender of the opponent who kept retreating but could not retreat chose to step forward to tackle, a simple ball, Payette lightly touched the ball, Ding Yue quickly followed, without making any adjustments, his right foot is a burst shot!
The ball is blazing fast!
Lille's goalkeeper reacted instinctively to make a save, but the ball went into the net at a distance of thirty or forty centimeters in the palm of his right hand!
After Ding Yue finished shooting, because he was too strong, he stumbled, and he was about to struggle to stand firm to see if the goal was scored. Payette pounced on him and crushed him to the ground!
"Well done! these XXXs!"
Payette gasped and roared so loudly at Ding Yue's body that Ding Yue felt like his eardrums were about to be cracked. Lying on the grass and looking towards the goal....whew... The ball is in the net!
The whole body relaxed, Ding Yue closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment.
