Chapter 281: Wild Card
Zhang Tiehan and Dudek's training effect is not bad, Dudek's level is still okay, his reaction speed is very fast, many times Zhang Tiehan's ball is not too bad to be saved by Dudek, although it is only a shot from 30 meters away, but Dudek can save a few balls in a row, Zhang Tiehan still gave him a thumbs up.
With a goalkeeper, Zhang Tiehan will be more serious when shooting training, after all, it is much more difficult to get the ball through the goalkeeper than to shoot an empty goal.
After dozens of balls in a row, Zhang Tiehan stopped to rest for a while and watched the training of others.
After sitting on the grass for five minutes, Zhang Tiehan plans to start a new round of long-range training, and he wants to ensure that he trains in this area for two hours a day, so that he can maintain a good condition, and even maintain his condition at the same time, there are some small improvements.
Zhang Tiehan is still a little confident in this.
After all, the sensitivity of his body has doubled, and when he shoots and does the action, he also feels a lot faster, and the sensitivity of the action is not much of a help to the long shot, but at least the deception and suddenness have increased a lot, which is also equivalent to indirectly increasing the power of the long shot.
Zhang Tiehan was ready to continue training, but Dudek's face became bitter, and he regretted training with Zhang Tiehan.
Dudek actually thinks that training with his teammates is more interesting than training against the machine, not to mention, it is a 'Mr. 30 million pounds' like Zhang Tiehan, he also wants to try the long-range shooting skills of 'Mr. 30 million pounds', he thinks he is a goalkeeper, and the opponent's long-range shooting is very powerful, but his training is easier, at least much easier than against the machine, after all, the speed of the machine is very fast, and Zhang Tiehan's shooting is much slower.
But now he knew he was wrong.
Couldn't be more wrong!
The speed at which the machine spews out the soccer ball is fast, so that the amount of exercise will increase a lot. Ke Zhang Tiehan...... No, this monster-like guy has a lot more strength than the machine.
He saved a lot of dozens of balls just now, and now he feels a little dull pain in his fingers, and that feeling makes Dudek's heart tremble, he is a goalkeeper. The health of his hands was very important, and this discovery made Dudek feel like he should go to the doctor instead of standing here and continuing to train with the monsters.
"No, no, Zhang, that's all for today." Dudek said hurriedly.
"Oh? Why? Zhang Tiehan was a little confused.
Dudek took off his gloves with a bitter face and examined his fingers, "I feel like my fingers are hurting. Your shot is too powerful......"
Zhang Tiehan touched his head, as if he was embarrassed, which made Dudek's evaluation of Zhang Tiehan become - very easy to get along with, a bit stupid teammate, of course, he didn't know what Zhang Tiehan was thinking - as I thought, he really couldn't hold on.
However, Dudek is also very good to be able to hold on to dozens of goals.
When he was at AS Roma, Pellizzoli would also train with Zhang Tiehan. But often he can only hold on to twenty to thirty balls, and then whatever he says. Pellizzoli had to do his own training and he was afraid of getting hurt.
All in all, Dudek is great!
But now that this great goalkeeper is leaving, Zhang Tiehan expressed the relationship, "Do you want to see the team doctor?" ”
"Oh...... Of course. Dudek said calmly and walked away.
……
After a morning of long-range shooting, everyone in the team understood Zhang Tiehan's ability in long-range shooting, and head coach Benitez also made a heavy note in the notebook.
In fact, Benitez knows a lot about Zhang Tiehan's personal abilities.
Including long-range shots. Including headers, but also Zhang Tiehan's personal body and impact on the court, but most of those understandings are summarized based on video records and various reports, and he does not have a clear and intuitive understanding of what Zhang Tiehan can achieve.
Now he understands a little.
Originally, Benitez only regarded Zhang Tiehan's long-range shot as a means for the team to score goals, but now in his heart. Zhang Tiehan's long-range shot has become a very important means!
Yes, very important!
Gerrard's long-range shot is also good, Benitez only regards it as one of the means of scoring goals, not an important means, because long-range shots have a lower goal rate after all, but he feels that Zhang Tiehan's long-range shot can be the last kick, a very important last kick, so that the team can continue to cooperate to find opportunities to send the ball to Zhang Tiehan's feet, and then let him take a long shot, which may be more efficient than trying to do tactical cooperation and pass the ball to the penalty area to score goals, after all, it is difficult to pass the ball to the penalty area, It's not the same level as the difficulty of sending the ball to Zhang Tiehan's angle outside the penalty area.
"No wonder he scored 43 goals in Serie A." Benitez thought to satisfaction.
With this method, the team's attack will be much easier, and he also understands why Roma's opponents have to defend Zhang Tiehan from outside the penalty area...... Such a long-range shooting ability, not to the death, after a few goals scored is not unusual.
……
Soon Liverpool's assembly training took place for three days, and by this time, Benitez had also begun to explain some tactics and let the team do some small-scale tactical training.
When it comes to tactical training, there is less free training time, and the team has to work together most of the time to get everyone used to the tactics before the start of the season, so that the new players can also have a certain understanding with their teammates.
This is quite important in the pre-season training camp.
In order to improve his ability, Zhang Tiehan had to practice by himself every day, but in terms of personal skills, the effect of the additional training is really not very good, this is not a long shot, just shoot a goal, no one practices with him, he is a little at a loss what training to do.
He found a couple of assistant coaches and wanted to get some builds.
But he was disappointed.
Before the age of twenty, most players have basically set their personal skills, and it is very difficult to improve, so there is no relevant content for first-team training, and it is better to find an assistant coach than to find a youth team coach, and it is better to ask your teammates, after all, unless you are a big-name star with outstanding skills when you are young, it is really difficult to guide Zhang Tiehan in this regard.
After a few days, Zhang Tiehan and his teammates also became acquainted.
It was not surprising that Xavi Alonso, who had the best skills in the team, was not unexpected, given that Spanish players are generally better at their individual skills than their physical-minded English counterparts.
and Alonso. Zhang Tiehan is not familiar, in fact he is more familiar with other English players, because the Spanish players, especially the newcomers, do not speak English well, and they are all Spaniards, and they will communicate together a lot of the time. He also rarely communicates with the rest of the team.
In this way they seem to form a small group.
Some people privately call them 'Spanish gang', which is not an exaggeration, but fortunately, Alonso is one of the special ones, he is not a newcomer to Liverpool, and he also speaks English very well, he has a good relationship with the rest of the team, including Gerrard and others, and has spoken to Zhang Tiehan a few times in the past few days.
With the attitude of trying, Zhang Tiehan still found Alonso. And explained their own problems.
Alonso was surprised, "You want to do some individual technical training? Where? ”
Alonsu's surprise did not surprise Zhang Tiehan, in fact, other people who heard him say this also had the same reaction, after all, personal skills ...... The scope was too wide, and he didn't think of what training to do, so he asked for guidance.
He wants to be able to work with his team-mates like those great players. A few passes to get the ball into the opponent's penalty area, and you also want to have the ability to make a penetrating pass. I also want to have gorgeous foot skills and make my opponent panic and can't find the ball...... In short, he has a lot of ideas, and these are also personal skills, so how can he improve them?
After some summarization, Alonso generally understood what Zhang Tiehan meant.
He thought about it. "You should do some targeted training, like doing a pass with other people, like the tactical training that the coach requires, yes. You should be involved. ”
Zhang Tiehan nodded.
A lot of tactical training in the team does not need him to participate, after all, he is a high school striker, not a midfielder is not a shadow striker or a forward or something in the back, many times from a tactical point of view, what he does is a kick in the goal, and he does not need to participate in small tactical cooperation, in tactics, he will also become a 'tactical high school striker', to put it bluntly, it is to attract the attention of defense.
So for tactical training, Zhang Tiehan is the most idle.
When Alonso said this, Zhang Tiehan also understood a little, and he should try to do more passing cooperation with his teammates.
"And ......," Alonso continued, "I think you should add some practice to running with the ball, individual technique, the range is huge, all the ways of touching the ball should be individual technique, but it's not the technical ...... that matters."
"It's a ball sense!"
"Ball sense?" Zhang Tiehan was puzzled.
"That's right, it's ball sense." "First of all, you have to do it, you don't have to look at your feet to be able to dribble the ball normally, or even do things like changing directions, and when you do that, you will find that your skills will improve a lot." ”
Listening to Alonso's words, Zhang Tiehan had a feeling of sudden enlightenment!
Can you dribble the ball normally without looking at your feet? He really never thought of this, if he could do it, the ball sense would definitely improve a lot, and sure enough, professional things, I have to find a professional person to ask!
Zhang Tiehan sighed.
However, if he wants to do this, he must not use the magic secret technique 'control', otherwise it will be no different from watching the ball, for this practice, Zhang Tiehan is very confident, after all, his ability to control the body is unimaginable to others, and the same is true for the control of his body, he believes that he will be able to improve rapidly in the sense of the ball.
After saying some words to Alonso, Zhang Tiehan threw himself into training with confidence.
At the same time, the rest of Liverpool's players are also integrated into the pre-match preparations, and Benitez's preparation plan is gradually being realized.
In training life, Liverpool up and down is also concerned about the news about the team's application for this season's Champions League.
Finally, on July 25, Liverpool received the good news that their proposal had been approved by UEFA.
They get a 'wild card' and qualify for this season's Champions League. (To be continued......)
