The cross is unreliable, which is another major weakness exposed by Yang Yang in the amateur game.

Whether it is John Repp or the people of Ajax, they have revealed this to Yang Yang.

They all believe that if Yang Yang's crossing ability reaches the basic qualification line, with his breakthrough ability and running ability on the wing, Almere's offensive firepower will definitely skyrocket, and it may not be impossible to beat Ajax.

Crossing is a simple technique, but it's actually very difficult.

Yang Yang himself is not without practice, he even imitated the cross footwork of famous stars, but it has little effect, a very important reason is the footwork when crossing, the part of the shot, and even the posture of the body.

Football skills are often like this, it seems very simple, it is easy to get started, but it is difficult to master, especially when the ball is in motion and the ball is running at high speed, how to kick a high-level cross, which is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

But for Yang Yang, this is the most urgent problem he needs to solve at present.

Once he is able to improve his crosses as soon as possible, it will greatly boost his ability to establish himself in the Ajax youth team.

Sharp breakthroughs on the wing and reliable crosses will become his core competitiveness in the next two to three years.

It's like PSV Eindhoven's Arjen Robben, with lightning speed, sharp wide breaks, and is said to be now struggling to cross from the left.

Van der Meyde, who has just transferred from Ajax to Inter Milan, is also very sharp on the wing, and he is also working crosses.

Of course, these two stars can gain a foothold in the Eredivisie and be favored by European giants, and their crosses are at least very reliable.

On the other hand, Yang Yang's current crosses are still in a very unreliable ranks.

After analyzing and discussing with Lao Bing, Yang Yang did not hesitate to choose the second star skill cross.

'Then there's nothing to choose from, he's the best choice for a cross from the right flank.

As soon as Lao Bing's words fell, the light and shadow of the stars around the super training ground suddenly became dim again, and only Beckham's figure became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a lightning bolt, which went straight to Yang Yang's forehead.

In an instant, Beckham's one-footed cross from his career was played frame by frame in Yang Yang's mind like a video, which seemed to be very long, but it seemed to be in an instant.

By the time Yang Yang came to his senses, Beckham was already standing on the right side of the front court of the training ground.

"Beckham's crosses are generally divided into two main categories, one is the long cross.

As soon as Lao Bing's words fell, the star light and shadow in the training ground quickly stepped out, and after only running two small steps, he kicked the ball directly, and after the ball crossed a parabola, it accurately landed in the designated landing area, which can almost be said to be zero error.

It was definitely the highest quality cross David Beckham could give.

Yang Yang watched Beckham's free throws up close, and although he only watched it once, he still found a lot of details.

For example, Beckham's previous run-up, the free throw part was the instep, and the body posture was a little strange, especially the 45-degree angle between the supporting heel balls, and the hands were also stretched wide.

This long-form cross has no arc, but it is very fast, and the ball can even be pressed low, which is undoubtedly perfect for wide crosses, and if you have a team-mate in front of goal who is good at grabbing the ball, you can send the ball into the goal in minutes.

"The second type is curling crosses."

As soon as Lao Bing's words fell, he saw that the stars on the training ground and the ball returned to their original places.

Beckham still only managed to run two steps before hitting the ball quickly, only a thud was heard, and the ball flew out of his right foot, with a fierce spin, at first it seemed to fly straight towards the goal, but soon after an arc and turned to the outside of the goal, and finally landed in the predetermined area with incredible precision.

Such exquisite footwork and high-level cross quality made Yang Yang full of admiration.

He's played the ball himself and worked his crosses, so he knows how hard it is to get a cross of that high level.

From the rehearsal process of the star's light and shadow just now, Yang Yang once again saw some clues.

The run-up and body position are similar, but the footwork and hitting the ball are different, this time with the inside of Beckham's foot.

Curling crosses are slightly slower than long crosses, but they are highly misleading, apparently designed to confuse goalkeepers and defenders and misjudge them when defending.

"Beckham's crosses are generally not in these two categories, and if you can understand both categories and practice them well, then as your crossing ability improves, it will be of great benefit for you to practise long balls and free-kicks in the future."

Football skills are also tactile and many things are interconnected, such as crosses, long balls and free-kicks.

Yang Yang knows in his heart that if you want to play a good side, then a wide range of long passes are also necessary, which is a sharp weapon to pull the opponent's defense line on the field, and mastering a wide range of long pass transfers is equivalent to being able to transfer the ball from this side to the other side at any time, and catch the opponent off guard.

As for free-kicks, this should be considered an additional question.

Later, Lao Bing asked Yang Yang to watch the demonstration of the star's light and shadow repeatedly, emphasizing some important links of [Beckham's cross], which are mainly divided into two parts: inside and outside.

In terms of himself, Yang Yang has already observed a lot just now, such as running, running a few steps, the length of each step, the distance between the supporting foot and the ball, the inclination of the body, the use of footwork, the power of muscles, etc., there are many details to pay attention to.

To put it simply, Yang Yang has to find a set of cross movements that are most suitable for him through continuous hard practice.

Yang Yang was not surprised by this, just like when he first learned [Ronaldo's Assault], Lao Bing told him more than once that he had to find his own set of steps.

Facts have proved that what is blindly imitated from others may not be the most suitable for you.

That was true of Ronaldo's assault, as was Beckham's cross.

External factors also need to be paid attention to relative to their own factors.

The situation on the pitch is changing rapidly, and it is impossible for the ball to stand still for you to play, whether it is an attacking teammate or a defending enemy, it is impossible to stop and wait for you to cross, so this requires good vision and anticipation ability, to be able to observe the movement and speed of teammates in advance, and send the cross to the most suitable position for them in advance.

In addition to this, it is necessary to have an excellent sense of distance.

Whether it's a cross or a long pass, you need to have an excellent sense of distance, be able to clearly judge the distance at the moment of passing, and control your power to ensure that the ball can land accurately in your intended area.

Yang Yang still remembers that when the media and fans commented on Beckham's crossing ability, they joked that as long as you pose in front of the goal and do not move, Beckham can shoot the ball out and hit your head to bounce into the goal.

This shows how difficult it is to really learn how difficult it is to learn from Beckham's crosses.

In addition to these internal and external factors mentioned above, there is also an indispensable element, and that is practice.

Not only do you need to practice repeatedly and constantly in terms of footwork, muscle power, and body posture, but also the judgment of distance sense and the size of force need to be mastered repeatedly.

The famous writer Gladwell proposed the 10,000-hour rule in the book "Outliers", and the same applies to football.

Of course, the so-called 10,000 hours is just a generalization, and the most talented players may only need 5,000 hours, while some less talented players will exceed it.

Yang Yang also doesn't know whether his talent is good or bad, none of this matters to him, the only thing he knows is that no matter how good or bad his talent is, he needs to train.

He now has a goal in mind and keeps practicing until he is satisfied.

At the same time, Lao Bing also adjusted Yang Yang's training program.

For example, in the daytime training against the wall, the 20-meter training becomes the cross-ball training, which requires that after the ball rebounds, the first stop must be calculated where to stop the ball, and then it must be immediately followed by the upload, and it must be carried out in the state of the ball movement.

The aim is to simulate as much as possible the real game, and this is just the beginning, and then it is necessary to practice stopping in different positions, so that Yang Yang can learn to adapt to crosses on different occasions.

In the super training ground, Lao Bing also added a training session for Yang Yang, virtually creating a Beckham to practice crosses with him.

Twenty meters is just the distance you just started, and when Yang Yang masters it, the distance will gradually lengthen.

As for Yang Yang's original concern about the lack of strength in his right foot, Lao Bing felt that it was not a problem, he believed that the main problem of insufficient strength was to exert force, and in the final analysis, it was caused by the lack of technical movements in the whole set of crosses and the failure to exert his true strength.

…………

…………

In the following days, Yang Yang returned to his pre-amateur form.

Every night when he sleeps, he will train in the super training ground under the guidance of Lao Bing, mainly to train the two star skills of [Ronaldo's assault] and [Beckham's cross], as well as a series of other basic training programs.

During the day, in addition to eating and taking a lunch break, he basically practiced hard in the skatepark.

Lao Bing arranged all the training items very reasonably, combining work and rest, so that Yang Yang's training was a little boring, but it was not too tiring, and occasionally used the lunch break to adjust and change the afternoon training items according to Yang Yang's training in the morning.

The days were spent in the hard training of this day.

During this period, Eindhoven's scout Carlas Van Balen visited the Chinese restaurant once, but Yang Yang was not there, but his uncle Shen Ming politely rejected Van Balen's invitation to Yang Yang to join Eindhoven, saying that Yang Yang had decided to join Ajax.

Karas Van Barren was so sorry that he made a phone call to the Chinese restaurant in the afternoon that afternoon, PSV Eindhoven's chief scout Peter Deviser personally called the Chinese restaurant and said that PSV was willing to sign a professional contract directly with Yang Yang and give him a large salary, promising him to enter the first team within three years.

Yang Yang will not be 17 years old until October, and he will only be 19 years old in three years, Eindhoven can give such a promise, which is enough to prove their sincerity, but Shen Ming still declined on behalf of Yang Yang, thanks to Eindhoven's favor, Yang Yang currently has only one goal, that is, Ajax, playing under his idol Van Basten.

He is confident in himself that if he continues to work hard and improve, he will be able to make his debut in the Ajax first team within three years.
