Chapter 33 Chinese Journalists

"Can anyone tell me what the so-called central attacking area in the stadium means?" Qiu Suhui said to all the team members. He is now an assistant coach at Warrendam, helping Adrianse a lot in his work, and has also won the trust and respect of the players because of his excellent management and technical and tactical skills.

"Mid lane? Isn't the middle of the box the area in the middle of the box? Ochu replied.

"Anything else?"

The team members whispered for a long time, but they couldn't find a different answer from Ao Chu.

"Isn't that new?" Qiu Suhui asked with a smile, and seeing that all the players shook their heads, he continued: "Ho ho, in fact, generally the width of the attacking area in the middle should be smaller than the big penalty area, and slightly larger than the width of the goal area. In the game, the defending side understands the importance of this area, so they will try to direct the attacker's attack to the side area. You understand why modern football wing attacks are popular with many people, right? Both the offense and the defence want football to move on the wings, and the wings are naturally the most popular places. ”

One of the team members nodded.

"The defending side will do this by competing with the attacking team for space and time in the middle, which is to say for possession. Therefore, as an attacking side, in order to strengthen the attack power in the front court, the first thing is to create space in front of the defense. Once space has been created, you should always keep in mind two things: one is that a slight delay in the attack reinforcement will help the defending side. Therefore, when the opportunity arises, everyone must not hesitate to do everything possible to seize the time to move forward. Second, offensive players with or without the ball must judge the degree of riskiness of the offensive play. What does that mean? When the defending side is open because of your movement and pulling, you need to judge how successful you are in taking advantage of this opportunity now, and whether the situation on the pitch needs to be so risky. If you think you need to do so, and it will bring great benefit - if you want to score a goal, then don't hesitate to pass the ball right away! Because the slightest hesitation is likely to allow the opponent to plug the gap, and it may also cause your receiver to run into an offside position. ”

"Coach, is it possible to take a risky approach in this situation?" Bayers asked.

"Ho-ho, it's not like that, Buys, you're a midfielder, especially pay attention to that. If you lack the right attitude towards risk-taking, even momentary thinking can cost you the offensive initiative. Crossing or returning when it's time to take a risk, or forcing a force attack when it's not time to take a risk, will result in the former losing a great chance to score, and in some games, a chance to score can make the difference between winning and losing. If you rashly take a risky way of playing, the consequences may be more serious, in the case of your own army, once the opponent breaks the ball to counterattack, it will be very dangerous, because the player is likely to have a short circuit in the spirit at the moment of the transition between attack and defense, and lack of concentration. Boosting your attack is as simple as increasing your attack speed with a player, or without a player, or both. Qiu Suhui looked at Bayes and looked at his expression, he had already listened to it, but whether he could digest it or not was up to him. I don't have much time, and being able to do something for the teacher as much as possible now can be regarded as repaying the grace of the teachings of the year.

'Bayes, if you have the ball at this point, you usually have three options: passing, dribbling and shooting. Right? ”

Bayes nodded.

"Okay, then let me tell you, if you can't clearly judge the situation on the pitch and you shouldn't take a risk, then you should choose to shoot. I'm here to tell everyone that you should shoot as many shots as you can when you attack, because there are more chances of success than you think. You know why there were so many incredible goals in the game, right? Ho ho! ”

The team laughed.

"If you're going to pass the ball, then the first option is to get the ball to the back of the defender, and if you decide to dribble, then you should keep a defender running towards the ball. Then perform one of the following four actions: 1. Pass the ball to the defender; 2. Pass the ball to your partner and immediately run to the space behind the defender, ready to receive the pass from your partner, this is the most commonly used one-two; 3. Dribbling to break through defenders; Fourth, overtake the defender to shoot. Qiu Suhui counted his fingers and lectured everyone. Then he took a tactical board and gave the players a laydown on the field and explained at the same time.

"Zhang Jun, Yang Pan, listen up, now I have the most relationship with you. In this case, the first option is to cut into the space behind the defender, and the most difficult situation for the defender is to let the attacker control the ball in the space behind him. The essence of effective tactics is to create the last thing the opposition wants, especially in the attacking third. Therefore, in the attacking third zone, the attitude of the attacking players must be characterized by courage and risk-taking. ”

"But, Coach, you seem to be very easy to say, but it's not that simple to do, right?" Yang Pan asked.

"It's true, theories are all in books, but you need training to convert them into techniques and tactics that you use on the field. You know, sometimes the victory comes from a split second, but the inspiration comes from thousands of hours of hard training. It may take a ton of practice to make an ounce of progress, but when the scales are balanced, it only takes an ounce to break that balance. That's why the difference between success and failure is so great, but the line that separates it is often tiny. ”

Qiu Suhui closed the tactics board that had been messed up, and then blew the whistle: "Okay, let's start training!" Our training today is what I just talked about, how to play in the middle of the attacking third! ”

Stehl looked at Qiu Suhui's back and said to Adrianse beside him: "You taught a good apprentice, coach ......"

"Sterl, could you please help me set up a marker? I need a 30 yard × 10 yard grid field. Qiu Suhui turned around and shouted at Sterl on the side.

"Good!" Stehl hurriedly ran over with the marker.

Adrianse looked at the busy figures of the two coaches and a group of eager players, and felt that the team was really starting to have hope.

Maria looked at the two dusty Chinese in front of her with some surprise, claiming to be reporters, specially from China, wanting to do an interview with Zhang Jun and Yang Pan.

Maria had been Warrendam's press officer for five years, and it was the first time she had encountered such a cross-border interview, and she couldn't make up her mind, so she had to call the manager's office again. Recently, there seem to be more Chinese in the club, first two Chinese players, then even a Chinese coach, and now they have attracted Chinese journalists thousands of miles away! When did Warrendam, a small club that was once ridiculed by some media as a "country team", become a piece of fragrant fat? She couldn't figure it out.

Adrianse is in his office with Qiu Suhui discussing the next cup match against the first-division team Advance Eagles. But when he heard that a reporter from China had asked to interview Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, he opened his mouth wide and looked at Qiu Suhui.

"What's wrong?"

"Hey!" Adrian Segan laughed, "Your fellow countryman, there are two Chinese reporters who asked to interview Zhang Jun and Yang Pan. ”

Qiu Suhui was also a little surprised, but he quickly reacted. Chinese national self-esteem is very heavy, golf star Tiger Woods because he seems to have one-eighth Chinese ancestry, and the media hyped him to award him the title of an honorary citizen of China. Now two Chinese players suddenly appeared on the Dutch field, and they played very well, and they naturally heard the news. Although Adrianse has imposed a control over the news media, there are always two names and the name of the club. That's enough for the powerful journalists.

Like many coaches, Qiu Suhui is not good at dealing with the media, so he is a little disgusted with reporters, and he shook his head at Adrianse.

Adrianse turned to Maria on the other end of the microphone and said: "Tell them that the club does not accept any interviews about Zhang Jun and Yang Pan. ”

Hearing the press officer's answer, Li Yan was very disappointed, but he couldn't do anything, the head coach disagreed, and he, a reporter, couldn't interview him anyway. Although reluctant, he had no choice but to leave with Wang Hua.

"What to do? Lost in the holidays? Wang Hua asked Li Yan while driving.

Li Yan was flipping through the Warrendam travel brochure he had just bought and did not answer.

"What are you looking for?" Wang Hua asked strangely.

"Find a hotel." Li Yan didn't raise his head.

"Looking for a hotel? Could it be ......"

"Hey, hey! Liu Bei asked Kong Ming to take a look at the thatched house, this is the first time for me. Li Yan circled around one position with a ballpoint pen, "Just live here!" It is not far from the training base, and the transportation is very convenient...... Turn right at the junction ahead and go straight. ”

He closed the manual: "I don't believe it, I go every day, can it still be effective?" That Adrian is an iron rod, and I sharpened him into a needle! ”

Zhang Jun has recovered from the excitement of the first goal, but he was actually forced. He was so excited to score the first goal that he made a lot of mistakes in training on Monday, much to the displeasure of his team-mates. In the end, Qiu Suhui scolded him fiercely during the training break, telling him that he would get carried away now, and that he would become a meteor at most, not a star. At that time, Zhang Jun asked a question that Yang Pan thought was stupid: "Then when can I be triumphant?" Qiu Suhui was stunned for a moment, and then thought for a long time before answering him, it seems that even stupid questions can make people become unresponsive. Qiu Suhui replied to him like this: "When will it be?" Well, that, when you score, you can be complacent, but remember, it's only that moment when you get complacent. When the ball is back, get back to your composure and look for opportunities to make you proud again. ”

Since being taught a lesson by Qiu Suhui, Zhang Jun has really invested a lot in training.

But no one will know what Zhang Jun is really thinking in his heart now, and his apparent composure is just for a bigger outburst.

Zhang Jun has always been a little restless lately, although he didn't show it in training, but when he was alone, or when he returned home, he would often be silent, which did not match his surname with Yang Pan - usually the two of them are always arguing.

At first, Yang Pan was also a little strange, afraid that Coach Qiu would scold him that time, but when he saw that Zhang Jun was always looking at the calendar on the wall, intentionally or unintentionally, he understood. "Ho-ho, this infatuation seed ......"

Today is October 13th, and in four days is the second round of the Cup against the Advancing Eagles, with Warrendam narrowly clearing the first round with penalties. And three days after the game, it will be the 20th, and Zhang Jun is starting to feel uneasy because of the approaching date. He didn't know if he could play, although he scored a goal on the first time, but later he was scolded by Coach Qiu in training, which must have left the impression of a person who was easily carried away in the heart of Coach Adrianse......

He made a phone call to Sophie yesterday, and when Sophie knew that he had scored in the Netherlands, Zhang Jun didn't hear Sophie on the phone for a long time, and he was a little worried about evoking Sophie's name: "Sophie, Sophie!" What happened to you? Why don't you speak......"

He didn't know that at this time, Sophie was busy wiping her tears. Zhang Jun scored a goal, but she didn't scream out as excited as before, but cried, she really couldn't understand herself...... Could it be that you are crying with joy?

“…… Sophie, Sophie? I've scored, aren't you happy? ”

"No...... No, I'm so happy...... Really, so happy. Sophie finally returned to her senses, "Are you still used to it in the Netherlands?" Did you become a celebrity when you scored a goal? ”

"Ho-ho!" Zhang Jun scratched his head, "I didn't do anything on Sunday, my hands were soft when I signed my autographs, and my eyes were dazzled when I took a group photo." ”

"That's good, you don't think about anything over there, just play single-mindedly. I'm fine, very good, you don't have to worry. Take care of yourself, Yang Pan is older than you, listen to his advice more. I don't have anything to say, I, I'm going to class......" Sophie hung up the phone in a bit of a panic, not even listening to Zhang Jun's reaction. She looked out the window at the dark sky, her roommates were already asleep, what class was she taking?

"Class?" Zhang Jun put down the phone with some confusion and said to himself. This is probably the shortest time the two have talked on the phone, usually when he calls back, Sophie has to pull him to talk about school for half a day. What's going on today? I was going to tell her to surprise her......

Maria saw the two Chinese again, but this time they said something different from yesterday, and they wanted to interview manager Adrianse. Maria wants the head coach to let herself refuse all requests to interview Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, but interviews with the head coach should be allowed. She got through to the head coach's office.

Adrianse heard that a Chinese reporter wanted to interview him, thinking that eighty percent were the two Chinese who came yesterday. He thought for a moment, then said to the phone, "Please let them in." ”

After listening to Li Yan's self-introduction, Adrian said straight to the point: "Your real purpose is to find Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, right?" ”

After listening to his friend's translation, Li Yan was stunned: "That's right." Being guessed by others, he smiled a little embarrassedly, originally thinking of interviewing the head coach in a roundabout way, first cultivating a good impression with him, and then approaching Zhang Jun and Yang Pan. Unexpectedly, as soon as this plan came up, he died before he could get out of the school.

"You're being honest...... But how can you feel confident that you will get my permission to do so? Adrianse stared at Li Yan, he already knew that this person was the real leader, and the one next to him was just a translator.

"Why?" Li Yan thought that the rhetoric prepared last night had not been in vain, and he cleared his throat: "I think the aspirations of hundreds of millions of fans in China and the professional ethics of a football journalist are not enough?" Chinese players play in the Dutch league and I think it is my responsibility as a football journalist to tell the news about them to the fans who care about them in China. And I think our interviews will also help Chinese fans to understand the Dutch league and add a lot of Chinese fans to your club......"

Adrianse interrupted his remarks: "Ho ho, don't tell me this, I am not an official of the Dutch Football Association, it is not my responsibility and obligation to increase support for the Dutch Football Association, and adding a few more Chinese fans to Warrendam will not have much impact on the team's results, nor will it help the team to be relegated." If that's all you have to say, then I'm sorry, please ......" He stood up, his hand reaching for the door, in a gesture of send-off.

Before Wang Hua could translate this sentence to Li Yan, he saw Li Yan stand up abruptly and shout loudly in Chinese: "Please wait, please wait!" Mr. Adrianse! Wait, I still have something to say, and you can drive us away when you're done with what I've said!" He turned his head to Wang Hua who was on the side and said, "Quick! Translate it to him! Fast! ”

Wang Hua, who came back to his senses, hurriedly translated, for fear that the translation would be slow and he would be driven out by Adrianse.

Adrianse heard the translator and sat down again: "Okay, you say, I'll listen." ”

Hearing Adrianse's reply, Li Yan let out a sigh of relief, and then he slowly sat down, using this time to think about how he should organize his language. "Well, I think I understand your concern." After saying this, Li Yan asked Wang Hua to translate first and see Adrianse's reaction.

After listening to this, Adrian looked at Li Yan with interest: "Go on." ”

As if encouraged, Li Yan's voice rose: "You don't want the media to contact Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, I think there are two reasons, right?" As for the first one, Zhang Jun and Yang Pan suddenly appeared in the game against PSV Eindhoven and caught Hiddink off guard, which should be considered your secret weapon. Since it is a secret weapon, it is natural to maintain the due sense of mystery and use it to confuse the opponent so that the opponent cannot see the true strength of the two clearly, so that the team can get a lot of benefits in the next game. But have you ever thought about it? Are the teams in the Dutch league all idiots? One game can't be studied for them, what about two, three, four, five? There is no eternal secret weapon in the world, and the same is true for football. ”

Wang Hua didn't translate directly, but touched Li Yan and reminded him that it was too rude? What kind of coach is Adrianse? Do you need him, a Chinese journalist, to tell him how to arrange the strategy? But Li Yan whispered: "Translate according to the original words!" "He figured it out, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, we should go back to the masters!

After Wang Hua finished translating, and without waiting to hear what Mr. Adrianse had any other opinions, Li Yan continued: "What about the second reason? I'm afraid it's because I'm worried that their early exposure to the media will have a bad impact, and there are many examples of losing themselves because of premature fame. There are always so many bright stars in every World Youth Championships, but how many can succeed in the end? Your fears are right, and your intentions are good. But have you ever thought about it? If the eagle doesn't take it to see the blue sky, how can it learn to fly? The flowers in the greenhouse will never withstand the wind and rain, and the chicks under the wings of the hen will never become eagles! After Li Yan said this, he quietly looked at the old man in front of him, and his friend was translating the last few words for him. After listening to the translation, Adrianse closed his eyes and was silent for a while.

There was silence in the office.

Li Yan turned his head to look out the window, and from here he could see the training ground behind the building. On the green training ground, the sun shines charmingly on the tip of the grass, and the backlit silhouette of a group of players jumps under this light, what a beautiful picture!

Adrianse coughed lightly, and Li Yan turned his head and looked at the other party again.

Adrianse's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop: "You guys are interested in that aspect of them?" ”

After listening to his friend's translation, Li Yan glanced at each other, and he had already seen joy in each other's eyes: this old stubborn has finally surrendered!

Li Yan said in English with some excitement: "All! ”

Qiu Suhui was giving Zhang Jun a private lecture, pulling him aside to explain in detail how he should move under different set-piece tactics, when he heard Adrian calling him.

"Qiu, call Zhang Jun and Yang Pan over!"

Qiu Suhui left the training ground with the two and walked in front of Adrianse, but saw two Orientals beside him, no, Chinese to be exact.

Li Yan's eyes lit up when he saw this thin Oriental, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand: "I really didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Qiu Suhui, the genius of the past!" ”

Qiu Suhui knew that Adrianse must have agreed to their interview request when he saw these two people, and he really didn't know how they deceived the teacher's trust. The other party wanted to shake hands with him, but he didn't look at it, turned his head to Adrianse on the side and said, "People have brought, I'll go back to training." With that, he turned around and left.

Adrian smiled apologetically at Li Yan: "I'm sorry, he just has that kind of temper, it hasn't changed for a few years, don't take it to heart." ”

Li Yan withdrew his hand, smiled awkwardly, and didn't say anything.

Adrianse left after a few words, and there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with. Zhang Jun, Yang Pan, Li Yan and Wang Hua were interviewed in a corner on the sidelines where no one disturbed.

There is no need for Wang Hua's translation, and the interview without the language barrier will be very pleasant. Li Yan looked at the beads of sweat on the faces of Zhang and Yang and started this crucial interview: "The training intensity is very high, can you stand it?" ”

"Okay." The two nodded.

Li Yan looked around and pointed to the turf under his feet: "Don't be so formal, let's just sit on the ground and do it, right?" ”

There is no opinion on everyone.

"I'm Li Yan, a reporter from the Sports Weekly in China, and this is my friend and translator Wang Hua in the Netherlands." After a brief introduction, cut to the chase.

Li Yan turned on the portable recorder and began recording. Wang Hua prepared a pen and paper on the side, and took notes on the conversation between them at any time.

"Don't be nervous, imagine it, it's like a chat between three compatriots in a foreign country, it's very free, you can say whatever you want." Li Yan spread his hands out and motioned for them to relax.

The two smiled, but their smiles were different. Yang Pan grinned casually, while Zhang Jun smiled slightly, a little restrained.

'Is there anything special about scoring in the Dutch Premier League? Excited, excited, or calm? Li Yan "carelessly" threw out the first question.
