Chapter 12: The Future Is Yours.
The time for Yan Feng's transfer to Guangzhou R&F is still a little late to put it bluntly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause the team had already gone to Australia for spring training in early February, by the time Yan Feng joined the team, the R&F team was almost coming back from spring training. Therefore, Yan Feng did not fly to Australia, but stayed in the club to train with the reserve team first.
Strictly speaking, Yan Feng's transfer to the R&F team at this point in time is a great loss. There wasn't enough time to warm up with the team. In the case that Yan Feng himself has no reputation, it is very difficult to gain the trust of the head coach. Yan Feng still has a long way to go if he wants to get a chance to play, and he is likely to have to wait until there is an injury in the team's back position before he has a chance to play.
Coming to the team late is an unavoidable disadvantage for Yan Feng, but on the good side, Guangzhou R&F team is very lacking in midfield. In terms of midfield, the only candidates available for the R&F team at present are Svensson, Lu Lin and Wang Song. The latter two are not the back of Zhengyin, and they also have physical problems.
As far as the current situation of the R&F team is concerned, they have a lot of midfielders, and they are very large. But it's basically all attacking midfielders, lacking defensive midfielders. In this case, as long as Yan Feng can play well and let the head coach see his role in defense, he can't be the main force, and it's no problem to be a latent supplement. This is Yan Feng's chance.
In fact, in the past few years, the senior management of Guangzhou R&F team has been criticized by R&F fans. Although R&F's boss Zhang Li is also a real estate developer, and his financial resources are not inferior to Evergrande in the same city, he has always been thunderous and rainy in terms of investment. The players bought, whether they are foreign or domestic aid, cannot be compared with the Evergrande team in the same city.
It is said that there are two Chinese Super League teams in Guangzhou, but the Evergrande team is the boss of the world, and the R&F team will always be a little brother who is not taken seriously. Of course, all this is also related to R&F's late start and inferior investment to Evergrande. However, the important reason is related to the localization strategy that R&F senior management has been advocating and the pursuit of southern football play.
Some people don't know what southern football is. Southern football is mainly a ground-infiltrated style of play based on passing and controlling the ball, which is characterized by small and fast, good technique and beautiful technical flow. Southern football used to be brilliant, but in recent years it has fallen. The main reason for the decline is that the Lingnan players suffer too much, and they can't really play with good skills without a good body.
Yan Feng's entry into the R&F team is mainly due to the team's localization strategy. But judging from the southern style of football pursued by the team, having a good body, but not good enough skills will be the biggest obstacle for Yan Feng to gain a foothold in R&F.
After Yan Feng began to train with the reserve team, he suddenly felt that he was not old, although he was not yet 26 years old. "Why are the reserves all kids?"
When Yan Feng first arrived in the reserve team, he always felt out of place. Anyone standing in a group of players who were born in 97 and 96 and are not yet 20 years old have the illusion that they are not in the wrong place, and whether they are old.
In fact, as far as players around 20 years old are concerned, many people in European and American teams have been playing in the first team for a long time, and their appearance is relatively mature. In terms of physical development, Chinese players are generally slower than European and American players. Yan Feng looked at the curious and immature faces, and he wanted to say, "Actually, I'm not here to play, I'm a new assistant coach." ”
Yan Feng was not the only one who trained with the reserve team this time. There is also a player named Hou Junjie, who also failed to catch up with the Australian training of the first team because he had just transferred.
Hou Junjie is a player born in 93, although he can't compare with a group of players in 97 and 96, but with his body of only 170cm tall and 65kg weight, he looks like a small player.
In other words, the position on the field marked in the official description of the R&F team's introduction of Hou Junjie this time is the back midfield. In other words, he is Yan Feng's competitor. And it is also a direct competitor to enter the team at the same time.
Maybe it's because Hou Junjie also knows that the two are direct competitors in the same position, although he and Yan Feng are both new players, they are not very willing to communicate with Yan Feng.
Originally, Yan Feng was still happy, this is no longer just an older first-team player for himself. In addition, both of them are players who transferred to R&F at about the same time, Yan Feng really wants to have a good relationship with Hou Junjie. However, at present, Hou Junjie just regards him as a competitor. This made Yan Feng somewhat helpless.
Hou Junjie was reluctant to pay attention to Yan Feng, and the young players in the reserve team also seemed to be a little unconvinced by Yan Feng. Hou Junjie was at least bought from the former Chinese Super League team Shanghai Shenxin, which is somewhat convincing. And what about Yan Feng? A player who has never heard of it, and he is from the bad team Shenzhen team, who can be convinced?
"Who is this person? He doesn't look young and he doesn't have a reputation, how did the team buy it? We are also adult players, the team didn't give us a chance, but gave us such a position. I'm not convinced. ”
"yes. I'm not convinced, why didn't I get into the first team, but to an outsider?"
"I'd like to see how many pounds he had, and he actually robbed us of our opportunity. ”
Regarding Yan Feng's arrival, the young players in the reserve team were all unconvinced. They looked at Yan Feng's eyes and began to become unkind in the continuous communication.
After the start of the ball training, the reserve players were in an uproar and angry.
"I'll go, just the foot skills of this goods can also play in the Super League?"
"Look at him, bring a ball, bring it and bring it away, just a few horizontal strokes, not even a feint. ”
"What do you think, the technology of this product is a scum, not as good as me?"
'Everybody practice and show this so-called first-team player our skills. ”
Yan Feng's performance in the training with the ball was decent, neither showing gorgeous dribbling movements, nor showing a few amazing tricks. Of course, this disagrees with the already competitive young players. As a result, the reserve players began to play their best side of the game. What a bulltail flick, a Marseille maneuver, a Cruyff maneuver. The action of stepping on a bicycle continuously is a big road.
Yan Feng watched the reserve team players doing all kinds of pleasing skills, automatically ignored their provocative eyes, and said with emotion: "The young players are amazing now." There's a lot of skill and tricks in this step. It's really nice to look at each one. ”
Yan Feng thought of Lin Fan again at this time, in fact, Lin Fan was younger than these players in front of him, and his body shape had not grown either. However, Yan Feng felt that Lin Fan's level should be higher than these people, at least Lin Fan was very calm in the middle league arena, and at the same time more stable. In fact, thinking about it now, Yan Feng felt that Lin Fan was still too precocious, and he didn't feel like a hairy boy at all when he was on the field. "It's good to be young. ”
A group of young players from the reserve team originally used their own skills to give Yan Feng a dismount, but who knew that the latter just smiled and sighed, and continued to do what he should do. It's better to be ashamed than to be ashamed, right? It makes them feel like they're punching cotton.
Seeing that the display of gorgeous techniques had no effect, the reserve team hit Hou Junjie with the idea.
Although Hou Junjie is a back waist, with his physical condition, he is actually more avant-garde. In fact, due to the limitations of physical confrontation ability, Hou Junjie tends to struggle defensively, and he is more inclined to attack.
When Hou Junjie watched many reserve team players perform their best performances, he also saw the problems and reasons. He also had the heart to say goodbye to Yan Feng, so he also made all kinds of moves. Not to mention, Hou Junjie himself is very flexible, and he has a few sets of moves, which is quite the style of European and American stars. Compared with Yan Fengyi, the young players are obviously more convinced of Hou Junjie.
So several reserve players instigated Hou Junjie to say: "Brother Junjie, that guy heard that he plays in the back like you." You're a direct competitor. I don't think his level can be compared to yours. Judging from the training with the ball just now, that guy doesn't seem to be very good. At that level, I really don't understand how a player can buy him?"
"The team has already bought you, how can you buy such a player? Maybe he came through the back door. ”
"In the next team training match, the coach will probably put you in two separate teams. When the time comes, you can't let him compare. ”
After a few reserve team players turned over their words, Hou Junjie, who originally had the intention of competing with Yan Feng, decided to wait for the opportunity, he must make Yan Feng make a fool of himself. After watching Yan Feng's technique again, he was confident that he would play with his opponent with his feet.
"Hmm. These boys, today's training enthusiasm is quite high. Not bad, not bad. The New Year has a new atmosphere. Xie Yuxin, the head coach of the reserve team, didn't know the inside story, and was somewhat pleased with the positive attitude of his disciples.
"However, the new midfielders bought by these two teams still don't feel satisfactory. Hou Junjie is too thin and small, and his style of play overlaps with many midfielders in the first team. ”
"As for this Yan Feng, he looks good at physical fitness, but he feels that his skills are not delicate enough. At such a level, I think it is a bit suspenseful to face the top offensive foreign aid of other Chinese Super League teams. It's really hard to understand that the top management is doing this kind of operation this year. ”
After watching the training of Yan Feng and Hou Junjie, Xie Yuxin was not very satisfied, especially Yan Feng. But he's only the head coach of the reserve team, and he can't interfere in high-level matters, and he doesn't want to interfere.
Speaking of which, the transfer operation of R&F's senior management this year has indeed disappointed R&F fans who are full of expectations. Other Chinese Super League teams have spent a lot of money to buy top foreign aid this year, and domestic aid is also frequently large. On the other hand, the R&F team, not to mention the foreign aid bought is very cheap, and the domestic aid is sold more and bought less. What is sold is a famous and powerful player, and a lot of what is bought is not famous. In this year's 8 billion Chinese Super League, everyone is basically a net expenditure, but the R&F team has made a big profit of 170 million yuan.
"Damn, these unambitious and unenterprising guys at R&F Executives. "This is the collective voice of R&F fans. In fact, R&F fans hope that the R&F team can have the strength to wrestle with the Evergrande team in the same city.
In the next confrontation training match, Xie Yuxin really put Yan Feng and Hou Junjie on one team each. That's what the team should mean when they look at new players.
In the training match, the players of the reserve team did not pass the ball to Yan Feng much, so that Yan Feng had no chance to perform in attack. Hou Junjie, on the other hand, got a lot of passes, giving him ample opportunities to perform.
In terms of holding the ball and dribbling the ball, Hou Junjie is really good. He did well when others were willing to feed the ball. After having a satisfactory performance, Hou Junjie was also full of confidence. With the support of other players, Hou Junjie finally found an opportunity to fight Yan Feng one-on-one.
Yan Feng also understood this intention, and he just smiled slightly. For this kind of heads-up, it is actually his favorite.
Hou Junjie came to Yan Feng with the ball and began to play a few fancy moves. This won the applause of the other players who were waiting to see, and at the same time, they were also looking at Yan Feng with a playful expression.
Just when they thought that Yan Feng was going to be teased by Hou Junjie, they ended up shattering their glasses.
Facing Hou Junjie who was dazzled by all kinds of dazzling feints, Yan Feng behaved very calmly and did not make it easy. And after Hou Junjie's passing move, he quickly stuck to it with his body. And then
"I'll go, this guy is almost flying. ”
"That's too cruel, isn't it? That's a foul, right?"
After the others saw that Yan Feng was just sticking to Hou Junjie with his body, the latter bounced out, and the ball was broken by Yan Feng. Everyone opened their mouths wide in disbelief.
In their opinion, Hou Junjie, who has good skills and flexible body, will definitely be able to easily pass Yan Feng. They didn't expect Yan Feng's reaction speed to be so fast, his activation speed to be so fast, and his physical strength to be so great. It feels like the physical contact between the two of them is like a child hitting a strong man who is often toned.
Actually, they forgot one thing. In the professional game, it is very difficult to pass people, and success is very low. And people with poor physical confrontation, no matter how good their skills are, often lose the ball under confrontation.
Next, Hou Junjie unwillingly found a few opportunities to think about Yan Feng, but the final result was unsuccessful. Even if you pass first, you will be caught up and lose the ball. Now he finally knew Yan Feng's defensive ability, and at the same time, he began to be a little afraid of Yan Feng's physical confrontation.
After Hou Junjie shrunk, there were also some other unconvinced reserve players who wanted to try Yan Feng, and the final outcome was that they began to be afraid to face Yan Feng.
"Yan Feng, you start lightly. It's training within the team, and they're still a bunch of kids. After seeing Yan Feng constantly use his body to destroy the reserve players, Xie Yuxin finally couldn't help but ask Yan Feng not to try too hard, so as not to hurt his players.
At the same time, Xie Yuxin can be regarded as having seen Yan Feng's ability. After a training session, he had to sigh: "This body is really scary." It seems that even if you are close at your feet, this confrontation is still not afraid of anyone. ”
After a training match, the players of the reserve team also had a new understanding of Yan Feng. After they comprehended Yan Feng's murderous defense, they were finally convinced, at least they were convinced by Yan Feng's body.
"Brother Feng, your body is so strong. You're amazing. "Some players began to worship Yan Feng's physical fitness.
"Hehe, you're actually pretty good. The technique at this foot is very good, and the basic skills are very solid. I believe that the future is yours. Yan Feng said with a smile.
