Volume 1 Chapter 385 Practice Makes Perfect

The next day, the media in Britain and Europe, and even all over the world were hyping up the incident of the team's bus being surrounded by fans and smashing stones after Tottenham Hotspur lost the Emirates Stadium last night, and Ye Qiu's actions also attracted huge attention, with mixed reputations, good and bad.

Early in the morning, a lot of reporters and media gathered outside the gate of Ziegwell's training base, but they were all blocked at the gate of the training base and were forbidden to enter the training base.

Because of the tough game just played last night, so early this morning, Tottenham Hotspur did not take any high-intensity training, but arranged more relaxation and adjustment projects, hoping that the players can recover as soon as possible.

Ye Qiu has never advocated high-intensity and compact training in the intensive league process, because in the intensive schedule, the physical condition of the players is not very ideal, and at this time, a large number of them can easily lead to some unnecessary injuries to the players, so unless necessary, otherwise, his high-intensity training is generally arranged at the beginning of the season.

Mauro Tasotti is an expert in organizational defense, and in the months he has been studying with Ye Qiu in the past few months at Tottenham Hotspur, one of the most important topics is how to extend his organizational philosophy of defense to the whole team, and how to complete the construction of the team's defensive system through the team's orderly running and cutting from front to back.

At present, Tottenham Hotspur has gradually had a certain framework, but the effect has not been reflected, on the one hand, because there are problems with players in some positions of the team, such as the third midfielder is a big weakness, Yaya Toure has performed well and badly, and he cannot give a heavy responsibility for the time being, and Davies is already dying

Ye Qiu also admitted his mistake at an internal meeting of the coaching staff, but everyone knew that it was a mistake, but it could not be completely blamed on Ye Qiu, because no one could fully grasp the player's body and condition.

After coming to Tottenham Hotspur, Mauro Tasotti felt that he had improved a lot, many things and ideas had become clearer, and among them, he felt that the most eye-catching thing was Ye Qiu's high requirements for some training details, and even reached a point that was almost demanding.

Tottenham Hotspur's daily training is with the ball, and a lot of one of them is to emphasize the basic technical details of the players, and a very important part of it is to stop the ball.

Mauro Tasotti and Van Basten used to be teammates, and he admired Van Basten's ability to stop the ball very much, which is a technical detail full of skill and art, you can't say in detail how many skills he contains, but what is presented on the football field is a very delicate stopping action.

Some say Van Basten is dashing and elegant, others say Van Basten is deadly, but whatever he says, it boils down to one thing: a shocking stoppage.

Because yesterday the north London derby was played, this morning's training session was still focused on recovery and adjustment, and the players started a variety of games, such as monkey walking, hitting the wall, etc., all of which are very emphasis on technical details and fast-paced game projects, which are said to have started when Ye Qiu was in Ajax.

And when it comes to breaks, Muhrensteen and Moniz will definitely be the busiest people, because they will be the first to walk up and tell this group of players who are resting what they have made mistakes just now, which places should be corrected and how to correct them, and even give advice on how to do better and so on.

Half an hour later, Ye Qiu even directly arranged training projects around stopping the ball, which have been accustomed to everyone in the team in the past period of time, and even sometimes Ye Qiu will draw a small circle in Yu Crisp, and let the players stand inside to stop the ball coming from the outside.

The content of the punishment is not tiring, but it is very boring, it is some very basic training on the details of stopping the ball, very boring, I believe it is impossible to see it in the training ground of other first teams, because these are all players who practiced when they were young, and they can become professional players, and they are basically very good in this aspect, but Ye Qiu still insists on training in this aspect every day

But don't think that Ye Qiu wants to practice all the players' stopping, in fact, this is impossible.

Many delicate skills in the field of football are cultivated from a young age, and after a certain age, if you want to improve, it is basically a very difficult thing, for example, a professional player in his twenties has poor skills, if he wants to practice to the same level as Ronaldinho, it is estimated that he will not be able to practice it for a lifetime, and he does not even need to be like Ronaldinho, as long as he can reach the first-class level, it is very, very difficult.

This is also the training for the details of what skills are more concentrated in youth training, that is, before the age of 14, because during that period of time, the players made the fastest progress in skills, and after this age, if you want to improve again, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Stopping the ball is undoubtedly the most difficult skill to practice, but it is the core of all football skills

Perhaps it could be said that one of the most important measures of all top players is stopping

But stopping the ball is the same as all football skills, it not only includes the process of others passing the ball to you, how you stop the ball at your feet, but includes a lot, for example, for a striker, how he judges the momentum of the ball, and then uses the moment the heel contact with the ball to change the direction of the ball, and the pass is directly into a shot, in which the striker's stopping and ball sense are very important, if these two abilities are not good, he can't grasp the direction and angle of the ball at all.

Mauro Tasotti remembered Ruud van Nistelrooy, the Dutch striker has a very special feature, that is, he is used to stopping the ball and then playing, which is very, very rare among top strikers, because these are usually the skills that strikers like Henry and Ronaldo will use, and for a center forward who catches killing opportunities in the box, it is more like Crespo, Batistuta, Inzaghi and other direct shots.

Because a direct shot is often faster and more sudden than stopping the ball and then playing, it is difficult for defenders to react, and even for many players and coaches, they will try their best to avoid the striker stopping the ball and then playing, because it is easy to miss the opportunity to miss the best and most suitable starting opportunity.

So, why is it not a problem for Van Nistelrooy?

Mauro Tassotti had studied this issue when he was at AC Milan, but he didn't get results, and after coming to Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu gave him the answer, which was Ruud van Nistelrooy's stoppage.

"If you take a closer look at Ruud van Nistelrooy's technique, you will be able to find that his stopping has a very important impact on his next step and shooting, and if he doesn't stop well, he will definitely not hit the goal, and his stop is not to stop the ball at his feet, but to stop the ball in a pre-set position, the most comfortable kick to hit the goal."

"So when we look at Ruud van Nistelrooy's shots, sometimes it feels like it's all in one go, stopping the ball, turning, getting up, the whole action is very coherent, even in the penalty area, he can use this set of movements very skillfully, and the other strikers become a cumbersome stop, but in him it becomes a technique for him to avoid defenders."

Ruud van Nistelrooy's high shooting percentage, for what? Because he stopped the ball out of the reach of the defender before shooting, but he was the most comfortable place, and the next kick hit was naturally easy, and the shooting rate was naturally high

Ye Qiu's original words made Mauro Tasotti completely understand why Ye Qiu insisted so much on stopping the ball and training in details, because whether it is stopping the ball or other technical details, it must rely on long-term perseverance to ensure that feeling, which is what many people call the ball sense.

The ball sense thing, I can't say, only I understand, but if you don't practice it for a long time, it will retreat, keep retreating, retreating to a skill that you are familiar with becomes very rusty and unfamiliar, so Beckham has to keep practicing for what Beckham, because this is the only way to ensure his passing feeling.

Similarly, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zidane and other players have been practicing for what to do when they are at their peak, but also to maintain their unique sense of the ball, only in this way can they ensure their performance on the court.

Ye Qiu asked Van Persie to improve his physical strength and strength to fight, at first including the players themselves did not understand very well, but after watching Vanney's performance and training, everyone understood, because Van Persie has a better and delicate ability to stop the ball than Vanney, and he has the imagination and ability to do the ball that Vanney does not have, but he lacks Vanney's physical strength to fight.

Ruud van Nistelrooy dared to stop the ball in the penalty area because he had enough physical strength to support him, otherwise, someone else would be crooked as soon as he hit it, what kind of ball would he stop, what goal would he hit?

For many players, including Gareth Bale, Carroll, Cavani, Ashley Young and other frontcourt players, as well as some players in the team who are not very good at stopping the ball, Ye Qiu has given high training requirements.

Executing every technical action with purpose is the core concept of Tottenham Hotspur's play, but for stopping the ball, Ye Qiu particularly emphasizes two points, that is, the second before stopping the ball and the second after stopping the ball.

One second before stopping the ball, it means telling all the players that before stopping the ball, they must figure out what they want to stop the ball, what to do after stopping, whether to pass or shoot, these must be considered before stopping the ball.

The second after stopping the ball is to ask the player, the purpose of stopping the ball is not to stop the ball at the feet, which is the misunderstanding of many professional players, the purpose of stopping the ball is to be able to better connect with the next move, for the sake of consistency.

Being able to stop the ball steadily, that's the standard of a good player; Being able to stop the ball and connect with your next move is the standard of a first-class player; And when you're able to practice stopping the ball and mixing it with other tricks, you're at the top of your game

Ye Qiu mentioned two players who have played in the Premier League, and both are from Arsenal, that is, Bergkamp and Nwankovo Kanu, he believes that both players have the best stopping skills, and Bergkamp needless to say, Kanu would definitely be the best striker if it were not for heart disease.

Of course, Ye Qiu also knows very well that the top stopping skills not only depend on practice, but also rely on talent and imagination, which can be met but not sought, but the stopping standards of first-class players can be practiced.

This is another misunderstanding of many people about football, thinking that football is purely about talent, but as everyone knows, football actually depends on practice.

One of the most important factors in cultivating ball sense is long-term training, without long-term training, a genius cannot become a genius at all, and as long as you can maintain long-term training, ball sense can be accumulated and exercised, in the words of the Chinese ancestors, practice makes perfect.

And Ye Qiu kept asking Moniz and Mulensteen to mention and carve the players' stopping and technical movements in training, and what he asked the most was not to make every player become the best stopping master, but to hope that everyone in the team could have the ability to stop the ball skillfully, at least to be able to coherently complete the stopping of the ball and the next move.

As Mauro Tasotti stood on the sidelines of the training pitch and watched the first-team players on the pitch train under the guidance of the coaching staff, he could feel the progress that the team had made over the past few months, and the same could be felt by all the players in the squad in a way that no one else could appreciate.

It's like a player's sense of the ball, fans, reporters, and spectators can't see the progress, but only the player himself can understand that every time he touches the ball on the pitch and every time he handles the ball, he can feel whether it is good or bad, whether it is improving or regressing.

It is also because the players clearly see the progress of themselves and their teammates, so even if the results of Tottenham Hotspur are not very good now, everyone is full of confidence and expectation for the future, because they see that everything is developing and improving in a good direction.

Mauro Tasotti is also looking forward to the future of this team, and he wonders what kind of changes it will bring to the Premier League when a team with an incredibly skilful pass-and-catch combination similar to the Manchester United golden four midfield era, and holding high the banner of attacking football and technical style, and incorporating many other elements and styles.

Perhaps, the most direct and possible change is to further promote the technical and tactical continentalization of the Premier League.

With a whistle from Roland, the training was over.

But the players on the training ground did not rush to leave, but discussed some details with the coaching staff and teammates over there, and many of them even demonstrated some of these technical moves in person, such as Vanney who demonstrated the technical details of stopping the ball and turning around to the others.

Don't underestimate such a very simple technique, which contains very, very complex things, such as stopping the ball, such as the length of the legs, the amplitude of the leg swing when exerting force, etc., which affect the quality and completion of the player's kick shot.

Football is a very, very complex system project, so complex that it is impossible for anyone to study it with data, because there are so many things in it, and any one of them can change everything.

Mauro Tasotti heard that Ye Qiu decided to set up a football research center in the new Theobold training base, and I heard that he also plans to develop a series of high-tech training methods in the research center, hoping to help players improve their strength.

This is full of temptation for Mauro Tasotti, who is from AC Milan and has experienced the magic of the Milan laboratory, because he really wants to know what new tricks Ye Qiu will come up with in the research center.

"What are you laughing at?" When Mauro Tasotti couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the future prospects, Ye Qiu appeared beside him with a puzzled look.

Mauro Tasotti smiled, "I heard you had a fight with your wife last night. ”

"Nonsense" Ye Qiu had a ghost in his heart, but his mouth was very hard, "Who said that?" ”

"The Sun" Mauro Tassotiha laughed.

"I'll fuck the Sun," Ye Qiu scolded angrily, "Which eye did they see that I was arguing with my wife?" ”

The Sun is well-known for its reporting techniques, which are nothing more than ambiguous words such as revelations by such and such insiders or speculation, but they use sentences before and after to make readers have a concept of believing the truth, which is really vulgar

Mauro Tassotiha laughs at the disadvantages of being a celebrity, you have to face everything Ye Qiu is facing now anytime and anywhere, who made you a celebrity?

"Head, it's okay, I'll ask Vahiba to go to your house and tell your wife, it's okay, she will forgive you" Ribery, the bastard didn't know where the road came from, and with a look of sympathy for you, he walked past Ye Qiu and threw down this sentence.

"I" Ye Qiu is very innocent and wants to defend.

But Fanny also walked past him, nodded and said: "Yes, we all know that it is very difficult to admit such a thing, so we can only give you sympathy, but you must cheer up, don't give in to women" This guy also made a fist clenching and cheering action, which simply said that Ye Qiu seemed to represent the dignity of a man.

But just when Ye Qiu flew out with a kick, he had already run quickly.

"I didn't see you running so fast on the court," Ye Qiu scolded Vanney angrily behind his back.

The surrounding players suddenly laughed one by one, if it was on the court or on the training ground, they would be afraid of Ye Qiu, but off the field, they were not afraid at all, and even dared to joke about Ye Qiu, it was only in the player area of the training building before, but gradually, after Ribery and other Ye Qiu's old generals started, they gradually followed.

Ye Qiu was puzzled and helpless in his heart, because he was too young when he was at Ajax, and he got along with the players, and later came to Chelsea, McCone and others also brought this atmosphere to Chelsea, and now they have come to Tottenham Hotspur, and Ribery and others have been brought to White Hart Lane, which is really innocent

But just a week after Ye Qiu almost shouted that he was innocent, when Alain Pardu faced the media, he was also shouting about his innocence, and his expression was still full of desolation after being devastated.
