Chapter 155: Holding the Ball with His Back (First Update)
Chapter 155 Holding the Ball with His Back (First Update)
Although the loss of Martin. Skrtel is an active member, but the Eat, Drink and Fun group still held an event before the start of the new season.
But this time, Chen Yingying didn't attend.
He's practicing desperately in his copy.
The biggest advantage of dungeons is that you can schedule your training as you wish.
For example, the "teammates" and "coaches" in the current dungeon are all cooperating with Chen Yingying for special training on "how to become a real center".
"Don't let him turn around easily!" Advocaat was roaring towards the field, signaling to Martin, who was defending Chen Yingying. Skrtel doesn't want to show mercy. "I know you're friends, Martin! But if you let him pass, you'll have to be punished! ”
Skrtel has moved away, but the copy of Skrtel still exists.
Skrtel is the team's best defensive centre-back, and Chen Yingying will certainly not let him leave with the transfer, and he can help him improve his strength by staying.
Chen Yingxing's training in the dungeon is mainly divided into two parts, one part is his own ball control practice, and the other part is that the whole team cooperates with him to carry out back singles practice.
The ball control practice is mainly to use his feet to control the ball skillfully and quickly, and his original foot skills are very rough, but now they are a little better - experience has a bonus effect on the training effect, so Chen Yingxing's progress can be seen.
Chen Yingying does not require himself to be like C. Ronaldo now, wearing flowers and butterflies under his feet, shaking the opposing defenders dizzy.
But at least the basic ball control ability must be there, and in the case of the opponent's pressing, you will not lose the ball quickly.
After hearing Advocaat's roar, Skrtel clearly stepped up his defence, and after he broke the ball with a vicious tackle, Chen also fell to the ground.
He got up and yelled at Skrtel, "Holy! You're really playing! ”
For Chen Yingying's words to vent his emotions, programmed Skrtel did not answer, but just smiled on his face.
This smile was one of the characteristics of Chen Yingying when he was building Skrtel, and he had in his mind the appearance of Skrtel at the door of Katyusha's private room, holding a beautiful woman in his left and right hands and smiling at him.
The real-life Advocaat told Chen Yingying that his long-range shooting level was very high, but he didn't know how to use his long-range shots. Most of the time you have to face the goal head-on and then adjust it, it doesn't work. Because in the heat of the game, it is impossible to give him so many opportunities to adjust. You dribble the ball for several metres and no one comes up and you get up and shoot – it's rare.
The goal of practice is not to adapt to such a defense, but to have a higher goal and challenge.
Advocaat told Chen that he could combine his back-to-the-ball singles with long-range shots – for example, when he was on his back outside the box and the opposing defenders came up and he lacked enough support.
It's an option to keep the ball back, but if it's always like that, how can you threaten the opposition goal? As a centre-forward, there is another option.
That's ...... Turn around and shoot long!
It's like a center in basketball who turns around and shoots.
It's easy to say, but it's actually hard. Otherwise, the world is full of forwards who take the ball with their backs at the edge of the penalty area, and then shake off the opponent's defense beautifully, turn around and shoot, and the football goes into the net...... Something like that.
First of all, you have to be able to get rid of the defense, and secondly, you have to be able to control the ball when you get rid of the defense, and then you have to be able to control the ball in the right range to facilitate your next shot - you have to control the ball, but you are too close to your body to shoot. Finally, of course, it's the most difficult shot, and it's not easy to get up and shoot at the same time as soon as you turn around and get rid of it, and at the same time maintain the quality of the shot.
If any of these steps go wrong, you may not get the results you want.
※※※
In addition to turning and shooting from a distance, the center must also be able to turn around and dribble the ball, but this requirement is a bit high for the current Chen Yingying.
Chen Yingying's ability to hold the ball with his back now is mainly to protect the football and pass the ball to his teammates. I don't have the ability to shoot on my own.
Now that he has begun to practice this ability, Chen Yingying feels that this should naturally be taken into account in the selection of talent points.
So he decided to invest the talent points he had earned after leveling up into such a talent with a very unique name.
"My ball is like a king". There are three levels in total, and the success rate of ball protection is increased by 5% per level, for a total of 15%.
After winning the top scorer last season, his experience has skyrocketed and he has risen to the twenty-first level, and he has given his talent to "immovable as a mountain", so that the talent has been upgraded to the fullest.
Now that he's leveled up and gained talent points, he didn't hesitate to add them to "My Ball Protector Like the Great". Playing with the ball with your back, it is very important to protect the ball, if you can't protect the ball, everything is in vain.
Of course, Chen Yingying doesn't even know how to protect the ball, but with the addition of talent, it is obvious that his ball protection can be better, and the opponent will not be so easy to break the ball from his feet.

This winter, Advocaat didn't go on a big buying spree like last year.
For him, the team's basic squad framework is already stable, the only problem is Skrtel's departure (). However, this was also something he had expected for a long time - since Skrtel's agent never negotiated a contract extension with the club, everyone knew that the Slovak defensive star was destined to leave St. Petersburg.
To make up for the loss of his departure, Advocaat mainly worked on defense. He first brought in a young centre-back, Thomas, from Zili in the Slovak First Division. Hubokan (THU. The centre-back is the main centre-back of the Gilina club, with a height of 1.83 meters and a good header ability. and has been selected for the Slovak national team four times.
To sign him, Zenit spent three million euros.
In addition, Advocaat also brought in free agents from Khimki for no penny, who can play in the back and forward, as well as Roman in central midfield. Shirokov (RHIRV).
Another 6.5 million euros from Dynamo Moscow brought in midfielder Igor. Semshov (igor_semshov). Semshov was at the pinnacle of his career when he played for Torpedo Moscow, and he was voted the team's Player of the Year four times. Later, he moved to Dynamo Moscow for two seasons, and because he did not agree on a contract extension with the club, he was put up for sale by the club, and Zenit took the opportunity to eat and strengthen the midfield.
Up front, Advocaat didn't make any signings, not only did he not make any signings, but he also had to prevent being poached.
Chen Yingxing's performance last season was excellent, attracting more watchful eyes.
He now has a certain reputation in the transfer market, some teams have already taken their eyes on him, and even in Europe, there are teams that have shown interest in him.
Of course, European teams are more interested and have not yet acted, they are still waiting and seeing. The UEFA Cup is a good opportunity to observe.
The teams in the Russian domestic league are not welcome.
Spartak Moscow are the first to take the lead, and they intend to bring Chen Yingying, who competed with Pavlyuchenko for the top scorer last season, to the Luzhniki Stadium and form the most feared forward combination in all of Russia.
In order to get Chen Yingying, they made a transfer fee request of 8 million euros to Zenit FC.
This is his first price, he joined Zenit on a free transfer and did not ask for a penny from the Zenit club. When Chen Yingying knew that he was worth this price now, he pouted with some disdain - eight million is like taking Lao Tzu away? Are you Lao Tzu and I being Chinese cabbage?
But even if Sparta offered 10 million euros, he didn't want to go.
In Russia, he just wants to play for Zenit, and if he transfers, he will definitely not go back and forth between Russian teams.
Now he wants to play the League Cup at Zenit and nothing else.
And in the face of the offer of Sparta Moscow, Advocaat's response was also very resolute - refusal!
If Zenit doesn't qualify for the League Cup knockout round, then he really doesn't have the confidence to keep Chen Yingxing, he can see that this kid is not the kind of person who is willing to work in a small place for a lifetime, he is ambitious and ambitious.
Now, there is the League Cup as a carrot, and Chen Yingying should not go anywhere in the first half of the year. As for the second half of the year...... It's hard for him to say.
But what to do thinking that far? Let's think about the League Cup.
As the head coach of the team, not the manager, he can't do a lot of things. For example, Skrtel's departure, although he was unwilling, he was helpless.
Chen Yingying is reluctant to go, but Tyke wants to go.
Of course, Advocaat can't let go of the Turkish goalscorer, although most of the time he can only play as a substitute, but he is the team's only substitute striker at the moment, if he leaves, he will have to spend a lot of effort on the transfer market to find a replacement for him, làng takes time and energy, it is not worth it ().
So the best thing to do is to keep him.
Tyke should have a bright future at Zenit.
At the beginning, he spent 10 million euros on the Zenit club, and his salary was also the highest in the team at that time.
Unexpectedly, a Chen hero suddenly rose up and nailed him to the bench......
Advocaat promised to give Tyke more opportunities to play, keeping him.
The first league game of the new season starts on 14 March, and the UEFA Cup kicks off on 13 February.
Zenit will face Spanish powerhouse "Yellow Submarine" Villarreal in the quarter-finals.
Zenit St. Petersburg first home and then away.

When the game day was approaching, Chen Yingying was practicing hard in the dungeon, sweating.
In fact, Advocaat didn't expect him to develop the ability to carry the ball with his back before the match against Villarreal. It's not realistic.
But Chen Yingying didn't think so, he wanted to improve himself, in order to cope with the upcoming big stage!

P.S., it's a new day again! Ask for a monthly pass and a recommended ticket!
The transitional chapter will soon pass, and the plot will go to the League Cup with a high cháo!
Let's keep looking forward to it!
