CHAPTER XV. The bench sits like this

The next day, March 4, the first round of the 2016 8 billion Super League will start. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info Guangzhou R&F team will face this year's Chinese Super League newcomers and the new giants Hebei Huaxia team at home. It's a high-profile game and a very important one for both sides.

Although it was a lot of pressure to take this game seriously, head coach Stojkovic also arranged training in the morning.

The intensity of the training in the morning was not very high, and it was mainly based on tactical drills. Therefore, Lao Si's main focus is still on the main players. And Yan Feng, who entered the team relatively late, is naturally placed on the non-main side, and he is also a substitute in the hidden supplement.

For today's team's main practice tactics, Yan Feng didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Happily, the coach's eyes are on the main force, and the weaknesses in his own body that cannot be improved immediately are not so conspicuous. Sadly, judging from the current situation, he estimated that he would have to sit on the cold bench for a long time.

Judging from the tactics of the team's drills, Yan Feng knew that the team should focus on pass-and-control play, which made him a little apprehensive in his heart. After all, passing control is his weakness, and now he has not been able to adapt to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League, and now even the team's style of play is not suitable for his style. Yan Feng suddenly felt that his future in the R&F team was not as bright as he imagined.

Judging from the various situations of training, Yan Feng understood that he should not even have a chance to enter the 18-man squad today. This made Yan Feng a little disappointed, but it did not affect his enthusiasm during training. If you have weaknesses, make up for them with positivity. If you can't adapt to the team's style of play, then keep improving yourself. Yan Feng is not easily defeated, he firmly believes that as long as he continues to work hard and learn, he will definitely be able to adapt to the team's style of play, and he will definitely make Lao Si slowly trust him.

With this belief, Yan Feng was extremely active and hardworking in training. At the same time, he is constantly observing his teammates and learning their movements. Then Yan Feng used the concepts he learned last night to experiment one by one, and he found it really useful. This made him very happy, but the more he practiced, the more excited he became. It's a good feeling to have a theory in your head and know how to kick and run!

In particular, head coach Stojkovic's main focus is on his main teammates, while the team's fringe players like Yan Feng have just been taken care of by assistant coach Zako Durovic.

This year's R&F team is under a lot of pressure and needs to fight on three fronts, which is a very big test for the depth of the bench. With the R&F team's investment and player lineup this year, it will be three major harmonic shortcomings, and it is not impossible to even fall into the relegation zone. At least in terms of the current strength of the R&F team, even the middle stream in this year's Chinese Super League is a little reluctant. Therefore, the combat power of every player in the team is what the team needs, even if it is a marginal character, Lao Si also hopes to make the best use of it, that is, how much combat power can be had.

Improving the playing ability of every player as much as possible is the task that Lao Si gave to his assistant Durovic. So for a few fringe people in the team, Dulovic is also full of heart in training. He constantly observed the training status of the players, and Yan Feng's enthusiasm was recognized by him.

Although Yan Feng's rhythm and style of play are still not suitable for the team in training, this positive attitude makes Durovic willing to call a stop and guide from time to time.

As the training time went by, Yan Feng's running position became closer and closer to the ideal position. This surprised Durovich, who was pleased with Yan Feng's positive attitude and improvement in the run. "Yan Feng is a very good player. He's smart and a good learner. Yesterday in training, he was still running around the field like a headless fly, and today he has been able to run to the position of daring to run a few times. ”

In the morning training, Yan Feng was in a good mood because of some progress. Dulovic was also very pleased to see Yan Feng's improvement, and he reported what he saw to head coach Stojko.

After hearing Durovich praise Yan Feng's training attitude and progress, Lao Si nodded and expressed his appreciation. However, praise is appreciated, the current Yan Feng has not yet won his trust. Especially because of the team's playing style and Yan Feng's lack of run-in time with the team, in the end, Lao Si still excluded Yan Feng from the 18-man squad for today's game.

After training, Stojkovic announced the squad for the match. Yan Feng was still a little disappointed after knowing that he was not on the list without accident.

However, Yan Feng is still self-aware. Although Yan Feng's attitude and enthusiasm are very popular with the coach, Yan Feng's strength is still not enough.

Seriously speaking, Yan Feng's ability to come to the R&F team playing in the Chinese Super League is still due to the team's Benshihua strategy and the appreciation of Deputy Dong Huang Shenghua. As for Yan Feng's strength, if it is said in terms of data like FIFA, his comprehensive strength is in his early 60s at most.

And to have a comprehensive strength of about 60 is still a blessing of good physical fitness. Let's put it this way, Yan Feng can pass 90 in the direction of physical strength, speed, and strength, but technical abilities such as dribbling, short passing, and long passing are estimated to not even exceed 50, and the running position and game awareness are even worse. If he didn't have such a strong physical fitness, Yan Feng estimated that his comprehensive strength would not even be 40.

With an average strength of about 50 players in the middle league, Yan Feng can still mix. And now in the Chinese Super League, not to mention players with a comprehensive ability of more than 80 like Sherat, the domestic players who generally play the main force are over 65, and of course Wu Lei is over 70. The strength of the R&F team's potential players also has the ability to be more than 60. There are obvious defects in his body, and compared with other substitute players, Yan Feng suffers more.

At present, in addition to constantly conducting intensive training on his own, Yan Feng can only patiently wait on the bench for the opportunity to come. Therefore, Yan Feng was also very patient to watch the first round of the Chinese Super League between Guangzhou R&F and Hebei Huaxia on the sidelines.

The team of Hebei Huaxia team was still in the Chinese League last season, and Yan Feng also played against them. However, this year's Hebei Huaxia team has become very unfamiliar to Yan Feng. Although the head coach is still Li Tie, the team has brought in world-class players such as Gervinho and Ravic this year. These are two guys who are both around 85 in FIFA. And there are two main players in the Huaxia team last year, Jiang Ning and Jin Yangyang, who were the main players of the R&F team last year. In terms of strength, the Guangzhou R&F team is indeed inferior to the Hebei Huaxia team.

In this game, the R&F team faced the Hebei Huaxia team, known as the giant of the Chinese Super League, and sent three new signings, Xiao Zhi, Chen Zhizhao and Svensson, and they did not fall behind on the field. However, the situation was not good, but in the end it was lost to the Huaxia team 1:2.

Among them, Gervinho scored the goal that overtook the score with his ability, which made Yan Feng, who was watching the game on the sidelines, sigh: "It turns out that this is the strength of a world-class player." If I can prevent it on the field?"

Although the game was lost, in the course of the game, the players of the R&F team performed well. This allowed Lao Si to praise the players who came on the pitch after the game, especially the three new signings who made their debuts.

Seeing that Chen Zhizhao, who was sent off the field by two yellows and one red in the game, could still be affirmed by the head coach, Yan Feng was very envious.

In this game, although Yan Feng did not play, he did not even enter the squad. But he still had a lot of feelings at the scene, and the first thing he felt the most was the atmosphere of the home game. With nearly 20,000 fans cheering, it is really the Shenzhen team's home stadium that cannot be compared with hundreds or thousands of fans. Yan Feng really fell in love with this feeling of cheering and jubilation. Especially when all the fans shouted 'Chen Zhizhao, Chen Zhizhao', he couldn't help but fantasize in his heart that one day the fans would shout to become himself.

"Yan Feng, Yan Feng, the shouts of tens of thousands of people, that feeling must be very beautiful!" Yan Feng said to himself in a low voice at that time.

Of course, all this is just a good wish, and the most important thing for him now is to make the manager value through his own efforts, so as to have the opportunity to start from the bottom of the game first.

Yan Feng, who did not participate in this Chinese Super League game, participated in the reserve team game the next day. He was joined by teammates like Hou Junjie who did not play.

The Super League reserve team game is not easy for Yan Feng. Even if it's a reserve team, but after all, the Super League level, that level is much stronger than the reserve team of the Chinese League. First of all, in terms of strength, the strength of those first-team players who participated in the competition was no worse than the main force of the official matches of the Chinese League.

Although it was a reserve game, the rhythm and technical and tactical level were not bad. If it weren't for the fact that the reserve team game was not as important as the official game, the intensity was reduced a lot, and the level of the game might have surpassed that of the main game.

Therefore, in the reserve team competition, Yan Feng's performance was not outstanding, and he was barely decent. However, in the game, Yan Feng still showed his characteristics. Of course, this feature is also good and bad together.

On the bright side, his physical confrontation still has an advantage against players in the Super League, and his running ability is more vividly reflected. On the downside, his technical and tactical level and movement problems are also obvious.

And assistant coach Durovic, who has been following and watching this game, nodded and shook his head when he saw it. In his eyes, Yan Feng is a player with outstanding characteristics and equally bright advantages and disadvantages. There are areas to look forward to, and there are many aspects that need to be improved.

After Dulovic told head coach Stojkovic about Yan Feng's performance data and his observations in this game, Lao Si also nodded and shook his head. Judging from all aspects that I have learned so far, a player like Yan Feng is really not suitable for his tactical play. However, after seeing Yan Feng's running distance of 14,000 meters, Lao Si thought for a long time and said to his assistant: "You can make a training plan for him." We've had a long and intense schedule this season, and maybe we'll need to use his running ability one day. ”

If it weren't for the helplessness, Lao Si really couldn't bear a player like Yan Feng. Judging from the first game, old teammates like Wang Song and Lu Lin couldn't play the whole game at all, which made him very worried. What made him even more speechless was that during the training in Australia, foreign aid Renardinho was sent off for spitting on the referee. It is said that the Chinese Football Association will be punished in the next few days, and it is likely to be suspended for many games.

Because Lao Si needs every player in the team to be able to contribute, Yan Feng is lucky to get a training plan specially formulated by the coaches.
