Zhang Tiehan thought about it for a long time and realized that if he wanted to score more goals, he had to increase the number of weapons.

Now headers and long-range shots are his core weapons.

But these two core weapons have been thoroughly studied, which leads him to find it difficult to get good opportunities in the game, and the opponent will put 100% of his energy on defending himself to find the opportunity to head and shoot from a distance, he doesn't even have a chance, how can he score?

Of course, these two weapons are still very important, although there are not many opportunities in a game, but if you encounter a negligence on the part of the opponent, or let yourself find a good opportunity, the weapon can play a role.

But if you want to score more goals, it is no longer reliable to rely on these two weapons alone, maybe now scoring goals is more important for yourself, luck, so you must increase the number of weapons, but you can think of other weapons, it is not easy, after all, these two ways of shooting, in fact, are popular, long-range shooting is very good, and the ability to shoot at close range must be good, but there are fewer opportunities for close-range shooting, anyway, he rarely gets such opportunities.

Other ways?

Kick?

Zhang Tiehan has thought about training this ability, and the actual effect is not bad, he has a strong control over the strength and feeling of his body, as long as he continues to try to complete various shots, let the body remember the feeling of those shots, in the same or similar position, he can complete similar goals.

But there are no two identical things in the world, and naturally there are no two identical free kicks, the opponent's defense, position, etc. will change, this change is very small in a very small situation, Zhang Tiehan can still do very well, but it is very difficult to play a good free kick by this, and his training effect is better than that of ordinary people. But if you want to practice a good free kick, it takes a long time, and even if you practice it, it is still a little difficult to really rely on free kicks to score goals, which cannot be regarded as a conventional weapon. Because it's hard for you to score goals, even if you get three chances in a game, it's hard for you to score one of them.

So what else?

Zhang Tiehan couldn't think of anything else, so he thought about how other strikers became famous.

'Alien' Ronaldo is quite good, at his peak, he can rely on his own ability, and solve all the problems with the ball alone, but Zhang Tiehan's hunger is too far away and unrealistic, even if he has more advantages than others. This can't solve the difficulties he encountered, after all, the skill of his feet is not something that can be improved a lot in a short period of time, if he has practiced for a few years, and finally can completely pass many people to score the ball by himself, at that time it is far away from now, not to mention, it is difficult to say what the situation will be at that time.

In short, this is not a quick way to solve the problem.

Improve your ability to cooperate with your teammates?

This is what Zhang Tiehan has been doing since coming to Liverpool. The effect is also very good, and his teammates have improved very quickly in terms of passing and receiving coordination. He can also make a lot of tacit cooperation, he feels that he is no longer a weakness in the tactical system, and even if he can't reach Gerrard and Alonso's Cheng dù, he can reach the average level of the team, think about it. A year ago I was at the level of League One, and now I am in the middle of the Premier League, and it is quite good to be able to keep up with the pace of the team and occasionally make good passes.

Can be proven against Chelsea. Just cooperating with teammates often doesn't have a lot of effect.

First of all, Liverpool is not a team that is very good at finding opportunities with passing, the whole team is like this, Zhang Tiehan can't imagine relying on himself to change this, if he was in Barcelona, maybe he could really have a similar idea, but he is in Liverpool, a Premier League team, even in the Premier League, not a team that is very good in this regard.

After thinking about it, Zhang Tiehan felt that the skills at his feet and the cooperation with his teammates were just the basics.

You don't have good skills, a lot of things can't be used, you can't cooperate with your teammates, the football can't reach your feet, no matter how strong your ability is, it's useless, even if you have good technology, you have better coordination ability, but you may not be able to sit back and relax, after all, there are many players who can do these two things well, only a few of them have become stars, and the others have not become a climate.

As for a flash of inspiration

That's even more painful, Zhang Tiehan once had a flash of inspiration, such as the first game with Chelsea, the third goal turned around and volleyed, but that can't be replicated, a flash of inspiration is the key, and the opponent's relaxation of vigilance is also essential, if Esin is more stable in his defense at that time, makes some small moves or desperately squeezes himself, then he will definitely not be able to score.

So a flash of inspiration is very unreliable.

It's not something you can just have, and you can't expect every game to have a flash of inspiration.

Zhang Tiehan thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

He suddenly felt that he should ask Benitez to see what good things Benitez could do, after all, Benitez doesn't look like much, but he can be called a 'master tactician' by the media, he is definitely level, and a championship coach, his views and vision of football are not comparable to himself.

If you think about it, do it.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Tiehan found Benitez and told the Spaniard about his troubles, hoping to get some advice, "Sir, I don't know how to train, I don't know how to improve, I want to let myself have more ways to score goals, instead of just relying on headers and free kicks"

Zhang Tiehan roughly explained what he meant, and he was greeted by Benitez with a somewhat dazed, surprised, wry smile.

When Zhang Tiehan found Benitez, he was sitting in the office, writing and drawing on the tactical board, seeing Zhang Tiehan, Benitez stopped his train of thought, and sat back in his chair, listening to Zhang Tiehan's question, Benitez was a little glad that Zhang Tiehan came to find him alone, there were no reporters next to him, and there were no other people who shouldn't have heard the conversation.

Yes, his first thought was this.

Even Rafael Benitez would have unimagined that Zhang Tiehan, an outstanding striker who scored 43 goals in the league in a single season, broke the Serie A record, and won the Golden Boot for Goalscorers in the Champions League, would tell himself, "I have a problem, I find that there are too few means to score goals." I don't know how to improve myself."

It's like an Olympic gold medalist in weightlifting and asking, "How can I improve my strength?" ”

Is this showing off? Or show off?

You must know that he Benitez can be regarded as an academic coach, his career as a player is very short, and there is no achievement at all, just compare the player career. Zhang Tiehan can only be the storage zài he looks up to, although now that Zhang Tiehan is his player, he must also admit this.

Now the problem is that the guy who is successful in front of him is asking himself the question 'this guy who failed', 'How can I score more goals?' ”

If someone else were to ask that, Benitez would have wanted to slap him in the face - let you ask, let you ask! Let you and me show off!

Zhang Tiehan

Benitez still felt that he shouldn't do this, because he knew that Zhang Tiehan was serious. Just look at his usual training efforts, players like Zhang Tiehan are worth 30 million pounds, which is definitely the world's top body, and there are not many players who have achieved so much and worked so hard, there are really not many, too many players have fallen into enjoyment after becoming famous. Historically, such as Maradona, current examples such as Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and so on. These people are like this, and there is no effort to train anymore.

Of course, Zhang Tiehan has not yet achieved that kind of achievement, but he is still young, and his future will not be worse than Maradona's, if not as good as Maradona. That's for sure.

So now he is still working so hard, and he deserves praise.

Now Zhang Tiehan is asking very seriously, so Benitez is also thinking seriously, he should think from the perspective of a coach, not a player. From the latter's point of view, Benitez thinks he can't think of anything at all.

Soon, the two talked a few words, and Benitez had already come up with something.

"Zhang, have you noticed that every time you shoot, most of the football passes to your feet?" Benitez said.

"Huh?"

Zhang Tiehan was a little incomprehensible.

Benitez explained, "Every time you shoot, it's almost always a pass, you make adjustments, and then you shoot again"

Zhang Tiehan nodded, indeed, in addition to headers, most of them want to shoot, they have to think about making space for shooting first, and even get rid of defenders before they can get up and shoot, but he doesn't understand what Benitez means.

In the face of Zhang Tiehan's doubts, Benitez explained with his hands, "You need to do more correct running, if when the football comes and you have no one around you, you don't have to make any adjustments, you can shoot calmly, you know what I mean?" ”

"If you're in the right place at the right time, the rest of the job is pretty straightforward for you."

In this way, Zhang Tiehan understood.

Benitez is referring to the ability to look for opportunities.

Zhang Tiehan thought about it, he does have a big deficiency in his ability to find opportunities, most of his opportunities can only be shot when his teammates pass the ball to his feet, as for the direct shooting, he also relies on headers to complete, and he has almost reached the extreme in heading, there is nothing to improve.

In any case, headers are a means of scoring goals, which can easily be frozen and limited, and I have never heard of a superstar who has made a name for himself by heading.

In terms of his ability to capture timing in front of the goal, it is indeed not a little bit worse.

Like other teammates, such as Alonso, such as Garcia, and even Gerrard, every time they have a shot on goal, the football is passed to the front, they can run to the position and shoot directly with their feet, instead of stopping the ball and passing others, they rarely score like that, and their own goals in this area account for the majority.

I should improve my ability to catch some opportunities in front of the goal!

If you want to increase your ability in this area, you need to run better, as Benitez said, "do more correct runs", not just run as hard as you can, the right ones are often much more useful than useless desperate runs.

If you can get more direct shots on goal, instead of relying on your individual ability to find chances, then there will definitely be a lot more goals.

Zhang Tiehan suddenly had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

"Thank you, sir, your advice has helped me a lot." Zhang Tiehan happily thanked Benitez and left the office.

Benitez actually wanted to say something, such as giving Zhang Tiehan some running advice, such as explaining to him the meaning of his position in the team's new tactical triangle core, but he found that he didn't need to do this, Zhang Tiehan seemed to have figured out something, although he didn't quite know what Zhang Tiehan came up with.

"Do more of the right runs? Without tactical support, can it have any effect? ”

Benitez thinks that Zhang Tiehan will still come to him, after all, in his opinion, what is the use of training by himself in this regard? Running requires tactical support, and if you want to get a chance, you have to have the cooperation of your teammates and the whole team.

But perhaps that's one of the reasons why he's failed as a player.

As a player, especially a famous star, he will definitely have his own ideas, and some problems will try to solve by himself, just like Beckham, he uses car tires to train footwork, which is the way he thinks of improving his foot skills, Zhang Tiehan also has his own ideas, he will do some training for his own ability.

In terms of seizing timing, Zhang Tiehan has many advantages, such as his ability to control the body, the doubling of the 'soul cohesion', which strengthens his ability to control the body within a few meters, in addition, 'seeing through' gives him more ability to find opportunities, and he needs more observation in the game.

Zhang Tiehan felt that he should make more use of these two abilities, and then he would have more opportunities.

At the same time, he should also train more running, observe his own formation more, as well as the opponent's defensive position, etc., in short, he should use more of his brain, instead of running around recklessly, which is of little use.

In addition to observation, he needs more bursts, such as finding the right direction to run when the opponent is defending himself, quickly shaking off defenders, and then running in the right position.

These trainings are accompanied by more communication with teammates.

When you run in the right position, the football will come over, and it must feel good, even if you start to have an idea, Zhang Tiehan is already looking forward to the scene of this happening in the game, the feeling of shooting will be very comfortable, and scoring goals will become much easier.

Zhang Tiehan has begun to look forward to what it will be like when he can score goals like this often.

That must be good.

If you can really train successfully, this will also be your new weapon, and it is a weapon that cannot be defended, and at the same time, this new weapon can also be combined with headers and long-range shots, and it is not as simple as one plus one equals two, it will be equal to three, it will be equal to four or even more.
