"I don't think it's entirely impossible. In terms of technique, his foot skills are quite good, there is a certain ability to plug in with the ball, and there is a very good ability to pass the ball. Moreover, he is very good at using his physical attributes and knows how to press opponents with his body, which is the biggest priority of being a good mark-to-man defender, but in terms of positional sense, he is not up to a level that is enough to be impressive. I think it's the most feasible way to mark him and develop a defender out of the ball, and Hearts says he's like Stam, but I think he can be stronger than Stam, and Lucio is also a human being, so why can't we train him? ”

Esposito saw that Li Bin didn't believe it, and immediately opened his mouth. He also has a truth in what he said: the defender still has a task, which is to counterattack. After the defender breaks the ball, he has to launch a counterattack. Top-up defenders are often also tasked with playing the ball and inserting it, and it is not uncommon for them to launch a long counterattack on the spot after getting the ball, or to move the whole team forward to attack. This kind of offensive significance is also incomparable to dragging back defenders. Ferdinand is recognized as a defender with good skills at his feet in England, but his attacking support ability for Manchester United is limited to holding the ball when the ball is passed back to his feet, and Lucio's indomitable style of play is impossible for him to do - England's so-called skills are still too big a gap between the so-called skills of England and the skills of Latin football.

Therefore, to make Palmeri a bully defender - as long as he stands on the field, intercepts like a wall, as long as he entangles the striker, it will be difficult for the opponent to break through, and at the same time, let the players have good skills and can form some support for the frontcourt, which is picturesque to think about. There is only one Lucio in modern football, but Lucio has a big problem with inattention. And cultivating an enhanced version of Lucio was Esposito's biggest idea.

"That's what I want to do, after all, his ball sense is very good in a defender."

The word ball sense is a very vague word that is not easy to explain. Some people believe that ball sense is the ability to control the ball, some people say that ball sense is equivalent to passing ability, and some people even say that the word ball sense is made up by the Chinese media, and it is a deceptive thing like the five elements of yin and yang......

However, none of these claims are precise enough. What is the ball sense, to be exact? It is the ability to accurately judge and grasp the number of various comprehensive forces of football.

Anyone knows that football is bouncy and round – these two phrases may seem like nonsense, but they are the essence of the ball. Because of the existence of elastic force, sometimes, the ball sometimes, will not be so easy to control, when kicking on the ball, in addition to a thrust effect, there is also an elastic effect, when the human foot touches the ball, it is actually two forces, and because the ball is round, when you want to kick the ball forward, it is difficult to grasp the direction in front of you, and the deviation of the touch point under your feet will make the direction of the ball deviate - these two points, that is, the effect of the ball sense.

Football is all about controlling the ball with the skill of the feet – it has nothing to do with appreciating any tactics, it's human nature, after all, humans are looking for skillful manipulation of instruments. Football is also a kind of instrument, and when human beings play football, they naturally want to be able to completely grasp the instrument of football, and they don't like to watch this thing uncontrollable. Therefore, people have always pursued the goal of kicking the ball as if it were sticking to their feet, and the pursuit of attacking tactics is also to pass the goal, because these symbolize the conquest of this instrument by human beings.

How to ensure that the football moves forward in accordance with the strength and direction of its own force, avoid the operation of the football being affected by excessive elasticity and friction, and minimize the variable factors such as elasticity and friction, which is the meaning of the ball sense.

Many people say that the stopping technique is the most visible - for what? When the ball flies over, there is an exerted force, and reaching out to catch the ball is another exerting force. And taking into account the elasticity of the ball, which is another force - these problems are combined and it is easy to go wrong. Those who can judge very well, grasp the strength, and can stop the ball very steadily. In Maradona's match against Roma, a long ball came from the back, and he turned his back to catch the ball with his butt - this is almost a terrifying ball feeling. And some players in the Premier League stop the ball three meters away, that is, the ball sense is too bad.

Of course, there are many things that affect the feeling of the ball, such as volume, material, friction, etc. Many people show that they are good at football, dare to juggle the ball and play with oranges, mobile phones, mineral water bottles - these things are all small things, it is difficult to judge the direction and rebound force of the kick, and it is difficult to control, so it is extremely difficult. Of course, the most terrible sense of the ball is not playing these, Milan's original star, the dirty angel Rivera, directly played table tennis when he performed - that small, elastic thing is the most terrible thing, except for him, there are not many things that can be played, Li Bin remembers, saw Messi play once, others don't remember.

Of course, having a good sense of the ball does not mean that you have good skills. This is the same as practicing martial arts, with a good sense of ball, just like a weapon with great strength and can be extremely heavy, and it will be stained when fighting. But the technique is the sword technique, even if the weapon is not so stained, it is very likely to win by relying on the technique. Of course, the highest pursuit is to reach the top of both, but that one is really difficult.

Generally speaking, players will pursue a better sense of the ball, a better control of the ball, and a better control of the ball, which can make many of people's technical movements smoother and fluent. Coaches generally like players with better ball sense and skills, after all, such people can do a lot of things that others can't do - for example, if a teammate makes a big pass, he can hook it back; Tens of meters of long passes, catching, smashing, shooting, fast completion; For example, if you have a good sense of the ball, you can dial the ball and dribble at any time in the penalty area, which is very meaningful.

Of course, some coaches in the Premier League have figured out some ways to make players with good ball sense become wastewood: for example, the simplest, mix sand in the turf, increase friction, and let the movement of the ball out of the conventional judgment, you can make the good skills of the player, and the same bad judgment of the poor skills, and the football will naturally have problems. This is simple, but these methods are really not of great benefit to the development of football. Yes, this way you can win, if the weak brigade meets a strong enemy, there is nothing to be done, and it is not too much to use it once. However, to use such a means as a standing capital, take hundreds of millions of yuan in transfer fees and not buy technical players, buy a bunch of black and hard, and then rely on such a lack of moral means to expand physical advantages, offset technical advantages, do not consider football, and only care about winning the championship and becoming famous, that is another thing - well, Li Bin complained about Mourinho, who took a lot of Chelsea's transfer fees and claimed to be a small broken car to meet Ferrari, which made a poor person like Li Bin look really red - you want a small broken car, I can't do it here?

But no matter what, it never hurts to practice the ball well. Palmeri is still young and has a lot to offer in the future, so maybe he can really be a very good player? These things are possible.

Seeing that Esposito and they insisted, Li Bin thought about it and agreed.

"Okay then, let's do what you say, and train him to a central defender. I'm also interested in knowing what a 190cm tall Cannavaro would look like. ”

Li Bin said that it is not for nothing that he wants to see a taller Cannavaro.

Palmeri's physical fitness is very good, and he is still young, a fourteen-year-old child is a piece of jade to be carved, and what he needs now is to cultivate his ability.

Italy's youth training, has always attached great importance to the cultivation of defenders, European Latin style football, Italy has always been the leader, until 2006, began to decline, the boss of the Latin style team became Spain. However, even so, Italy has a very strong heritage after all, and it can still cultivate talents.

Of course, another reason why Li Bin is confident is that he has confidence in his youth training base, which he is responsible for after all, which is different from other bases. The youth training in the rest of Italy is a bit corrupt, and Parma is still strong, which is also related to the youth philosophy.

As I said before, Sacchi has a great influence on Italy's football philosophy, and under Sacchi's guiding ideology, Italy's training has indeed had a big problem. The Italians started teaching tactical ideas too early, and from a very young age, children learned how to defend in chains, how to fill in for teammates, and how to play smart football with their own brains.

When everyone is a child, there is no problem with teaching like this. The youth team game has always been strictly divided into age groups, children of the same age, the physical gap will not be too obvious, and the advantage of skill can not be reflected because of age, as long as the tactics are good, it is natural to look like an iron wall in defense. Under the influence of Sachi's thoughts, children of all ages are immediately showing their advantages in playing football, and seeing such an effect, the Italian coaches are naturally like a treasure, and they are all engaged in tactical edification, while ignoring the cultivation of skills.

However, after entering the senior team, there is no age level of confrontation, and there are more problems in confrontation. The Italians do have the advantage of being in good positions, but their one-on-one ability is no longer as strong as Cannavaro's and Nesta's generation. And as a defender, if the fundamental ability of one-on-one is gone, no matter how good the position is, it is nonsense - even if you stand in the position and break the back line with a single stab, what is the effect? Chain defense, it has to be an iron lock across the river, and a broken hemp rope across the river, no matter how dense it is, it will not be able to intercept it.

When Li Bin trains players, the first thing he pays attention to is to cultivate ability - tactical awareness, which can be said after the age of fifteen. The man to mark defender needs to be physical, fitting, determined, Palmeri has it all, and now all he needs is to learn how to train.

"Those things are all things that will be talked about later." Li Bin shook his head and stopped thinking about him, "There are some things that are close at hand, and we have to start doing them." At the end of August, we played against Liverpool. That UEFA Super Cup, I'm ready to win. So we have to prepare now. I played four friendlies and after four games, I asked our team to be able to compete with a team of Liverpool's level. ”
