8 Gaps
"Because you've been deceived by your own instincts!"
Lao Bing's cold words made Yang Yang suddenly seem to understand a lot of things.
'Everybody wants to control everything and anticipate the dangers that may arise in the future, and the same goes for defenders, so Ronaldo didn't sprint as fast as he could at first, which is a way to confuse the opponent and make you unconsciously predict where he will enter your defensive zone and prepare for the defensive response in advance.
"But when he suddenly changes gear, it completely disrupts your plan and makes you a little confused, so when you see his feints, you can't help but react because you have to make up for your previous mistakes."
When he said this, Lao Bing coldly pronounced the verdict.
"Sometimes, in order to make up for the mistakes they have made before, they will always make bigger mistakes without realizing it."
Yang Yang understood and knew what the problem was.
To put it simply, it's change.
Use this change in speed to catch your opponent off guard, and then guide your opponent to make mistakes.
And those stars with a lot of defensive experience can often rely on their own experience and ability to ensure that they don't make mistakes to the greatest extent, but even they, in the face of the top Ronaldo, there is still no too effective way.
Except for fouls!
Thinking about it further, my performance in the team's circle grabbing game has improved a lot recently, and the efficiency of grabbing the ball is very high, isn't it because I always dangle a shot and point to the west, isn't this also a change?
"It shouldn't be that simple, right?" After thinking about it, Yang Yang asked his doubts.
"Yes, it's not that simple."
"The change in tempo is just a trick, the real key is Ronaldo's excellent pace and ability to adjust."
The picture changed again, Yang Yang's two footprints were hidden, and Ronaldo's two were enlarged.
"You see, he can control his pace as much as he wants, the distance he takes with each step, where he lands with each step, these are all things he has designed, and against different opponents, he will adopt different strategies."
"When he's facing you and you're facing a defensive dummy, the reason why you want to speed up is because you're mentally prepared."
'For him, half a step earlier and half a step later, it doesn't make the slightest difference, but for the defenders, it's completely different.
Yang Yang understood and was completely convinced, at least he clearly realized what a terrible gap there was between himself and professional players, especially players like Ronaldo.
You know, the pendulum pass is just one of Ronaldo's famous tricks at his peak.
But such a seemingly simple and easy-to-learn pendulum is so profound inside.
This is only a small part of Ronaldo's assault star skills, which shows how broad and profound Ronaldo's assault at his peak is, and it may be the essence of Ronaldo's career playing wisdom.
"There's a problem." Yang Yang is now like a good student who is humble and eager to learn, "You said that Ronaldo's landing point, cadence and stride distance are all designed in advance, but is he thinking about these problems in the game?" ”
"No, the game is changing so fast, there's no way he's going to have time to think."
This time, Yang Yang didn't understand, "Then how did he do it?" ”
"Muscle memory." Lao Bing said succinctly.
Now Yang Yang understood.
In fact, when he was in China, the coach who taught Yang Yang to play football had said more than once that the gap between professional and non-professional players is staggering and all-round, but in the final analysis, in addition to physical fitness and awareness, the most important thing is muscle memory.
It's like Ronaldo, every touch of the ball, every step he takes, is a kind of muscle memory accumulated from countless kicks and training over the past two decades.
So, for him, playing like this is like an instinctive habit.
"I now understand why he's Ronaldo." Yang Yang praised convincingly.
If you want to become a superstar, talent is indeed part of it, but the most important thing is to work hard.
"You have limited time now, only one night, so you still focus on practicing this pendulum pass, as for how much strength you can use, it is still up to you." Lao Bing still said mechanically.
Yang Yang understands that soldiers are not expensive, and what he needs most now is a skill.
Another great benefit of training in a super training ground is that you can develop muscle memory faster than in reality, but even then, it's impossible to learn how to swing and master it in one night.
Time was pressing, and Yang Yang couldn't set any goals for himself, so he could only seize the time and practice hard.
…………
…………
On Saturday morning, the skate park was even more deserted than usual.
Yang Yang was the same as usual, after getting up early, he said to his uncle and came to the park to train with the ball.
Playing football is about practice makes perfect, practicing in winter and practicing in summer, and there can be no slackness, especially the basic skills.
As the saying goes, one day of practice, one day of exercise, one day of not practicing ten days.
Since it was Saturday and there was no need to go to class, Yang Yang had to train a little more in the morning than usual, doubling all the items, and he didn't stop panting until he was sweating.
When he was about to walk back to the bench next to the road to rest, he found a strange middle-aged Dutch man sitting on the bench at some point.
He was about fifty years old, wearing a sports cap with a golf ball logo in the middle of the hat, and under the brim was a rather serious middle-aged man's face, with white temples and a slightly bloated body, and his big belly made the gray sports polo shirt tight, looking like he was pregnant.
The middle-aged Dutch man sat on a bench with a bottle of water in each hand, looking quite imposing.
When Yang Yang came over, he handed over the water in his left hand, but he didn't say a word.
"No thanks." Yang Yang didn't know him either, so naturally he wouldn't take it.
But the middle-aged Dutch man was unmoved, and instead of taking it back, he handed it closer, "Let's talk a few words." ”
From this person's expression, Yang Yang understood the meaning, this is a stubborn guy, and it is not easy to refuse him.
"Thank you." Yang Yang took the water, but did not open it, but put it aside, and took out a towel from his backpack to wipe the sweat all over his body.
"I've been watching you for days." Under the brim of his hat, the middle-aged Dutch man squinted at the graffiti-covered wall in front of him.
"Huh?" Yang Yang didn't listen carefully.
The middle-aged Dutch did not repeat, but asked: "Are you from Bakken Academy?" ”
"Hmm." Yang Yang nodded, Bakken School Park is just north of the park, and it's not strange to be guessed.
"Playing for the youth team of Almere FC?" The middle-aged Dutch asked again.
"Hmm." Yang Yang still nodded.
"John Repp and Dick Van Poel both have good eyes, how did you get in?"
Yang Yang silently glanced at the middle-aged Dutchman, but did not answer, from the other party's tone, he felt that the other party seemed to be familiar with John Repp and Dick Van Poel.
"Do you know Mr. Rip?" Yang Yang asked rhetorically.
"Of course, we are teammates in the youth team." The middle-aged Dutch replied lightly.
"Ajax?" Yang Yang was a little surprised.
John Repp comes from Ajax, which is well known in the Almere squad.
The Dutch middle-aged nodded lightly, "He is a youth graduate, but I am not, I just had the honor to be a teammate with him in the youth team for two years, and then he went to the first team, and I ......"
Although he said it in moderation, Yang Yang could vaguely hear that it was estimated that his development at Ajax was not ideal.
"Your basic skills are poor." Dutch middle-aged said to change the topic.
Yang Yang is quite embarrassed, although he is a football senior, but this is too direct, right?
But he still nodded and hummed, acknowledging this fact.
"You think you're sixteen or seventeen, right?"
"Sixteen."
"John Repp moved all the Ajax academy to Almere, at your age, I'm afraid it's hard to pass the assessment, right?" The middle-aged Dutch man looked at Yang Yang lightly.
From just a few words, you can deduce this, and it can be seen that the other party knows Ajax's youth training system very well.
"Didn't John Repp and Dick Van Poel tell you the situation?"
Yang Yang hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Said." ”
"Then you still come here every day and insist on practicing? Don't you know that you're doing some useless work right now? ”
"Why do you think it's useless?" Yang Yang asked rhetorically again.
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not, no matter what happens in the future, as long as you are willing to pay, you will definitely reap the rewards."
"But in the end, you still can't pass the assessment, isn't it useless?"
Yang Yang nodded, "Until the last moment, who knows what the result will be?" ”
After a pause, Yang Yang looked directly at the middle-aged Dutchman, "Sir, I think you should also be a football practitioner, you should know, this is like a football game, it has ninety minutes, and I have only played eighty-five minutes now, although I am still behind, but who dares to say that I have no chance to turn the tables in the end?" ”
Without waiting for the middle-aged Dutch man to speak, Yang Yang continued to speak again.
"How many comebacks did Alex Ferguson's Red Devils come back in '99? Even reversed Bayern Munich in the final to win the championship and created a great treble miracle, isn't this the charm of football? If Ferguson and his players were thinking about giving up when they were behind Bayern Munich, was there a final comeback myth? ”
When the middle-aged Dutch man heard this, he looked at the young man standing in front of him with slight emotion, Yang Yang's words touched him, and let him see a faint ray of sunshine in his gloomy depression for nearly half a year.
He never denies that he is a stubborn and stubborn person, but the successive blows in recent years have brought him a painful lesson, and even made him a little frustrated, but he is not a person who can listen to the advice of others, no matter how his relatives and friends around him persuade him, he is indifferent.
But now, Yang Yang's words made him feel close, and even resonated a little.
As long as the game isn't over, there's still a chance.
The words were not speculative, Yang Yang was reluctant to talk to him more, and after thanking him for sending a bottle of water, he put on his backpack and went back.
The middle-aged Dutch man behind him was silently looking at Yang Yang's departing back, and suddenly the corners of his mouth raised, and he actually smiled.
"What a funny boy."
