When the day's training was over, Mark really stayed on the training ground alone for shooting practice, and Zhou Yi did not leave the gym after the strength training, but was doing his physical training. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Both teenagers are working hard for their dreams.

However, when Zhou Yi was doing endurance training on the treadmill, his mind was thinking about Mark's question.

Improving your ability is fundamental to the team, but it takes too long to do so, because improving your skills is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Is there any way to improve his performance in a short period of time so that Mark can play in the Under-19s?

Zhou Yi pondered hard.

But until the end of the training, he didn't come up with any way.

On the way home, Mark's mood was clearly much higher than yesterday, and after half an hour of shooting practice, he felt that he had found the right direction to work on, and he just kept trying.

He suddenly had confidence in his future.

However, Zhou Yi is not as optimistic as Mark.

When he went to bed at night, Zhou Yi entered the virtual world of FIFAOL3, and when he and his virtual U19 teammates started training, his eyes were on Mark, who was observing Mark, hoping to see something from his observation.

After only looking at it for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he realized the problem!

He'd seen it before, but he'd ignored it because he was somewhat similar to Mark in terms of playing style, so he didn't take it seriously.

It wasn't until now, when he was struggling with what he could do to make Mark do well, that he realized that this might be the root cause of Mark's poor performance in training.

But he still needs to verify it. So he started giving Mark all kinds of passes in training.

Some of the balls are passed into the obvious gaps, and Mark will be in the gaps at the right time, and when he receives the ball, he is almost unmarked, and he shoots and scores.

But sometimes, when the space is not so big, Zhou Yi will also pass the football over. This kind of ball requires Mark to fight close to the opposing defender, and Mark's success rate with the ball plummets, and some of the balls he doesn't even pick up at all because he feels like he can't catch them.

The next day, in the locker room, while changing clothes and preparing to go out for training, Zhou Yi pretended to be very casual and asked Mark: "Mark, I found that you like to play football and play from defenders?"

Mark nodded: "Well, after all, I'm not a strong striker like Schneider, and if I go to wrestle with defenders, I won't have the upper hand." You have to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, don't you?"

"So Mark, I think I know why you don't play as well as I did without me. Zhou Yi said.

Hearing this, Mark looked up at Zhou Yi, a little surprised, and a little anxious: "Why?"

"Well, the reason is that you like to play away from defenders when you play. In fact, when I play football, I also like to avoid defenders, I always choose to catch the ball at the intersection of several people's defensive areas, so that I have time, and I rarely face the opponent's direct defense, the reason is the same as you, my body is not strong enough, and if I directly collide with the opponent, I can't even hold the ball. So I'm doing strength training now to make up for this shortcoming. But it's okay to play like this now because I'm a midfielder and I have a big area on the football pitch where I can move and I can always find a free spot to catch the ball. But you can't. ”

Zhou Yi began to analyze Mark.

"You're a striker, of course you can drop back and receive the ball, but when it comes to deciding whether you can score or not, your area of activity is basically concentrated in the 30-metre area of the opponent, or even in the box. It's cramped, it's crowded, and there's not a lot of room for you to catch the ball comfortably. If you consciously distance yourself from the defenders and avoid them, you will have fewer chances to get the ball......"

Zhou Yi was right. ”

Suddenly, a voice next to him sounded coldly, startling both Zhou Yi and Mark.

When they looked back, they realized that it was Gotze!

Seeing that both of them turned their heads to look at themselves, Gotze quickly apologized: "Did I disturb you?"

"Not really. Zhou Yi shook his head, "You can see it too?"

Gotze nodded, sat down and said to Mark, "Mark, your problem is that you seem to be a little afraid to make physical contact with a defender. In fact, although your body is not particularly strong, it is not as weak as Zhou Yi......"

Zhou Yi rolled his eyes: "Hey, who is weak!"

Gotze ignored Zhou Yi, continued to look at Mark and said, "You're almost 1.8 meters now, right?"

"One meter seven eight. Mark said.

"That's right, in terms of height, you are also taller than Zhou Yi......"

"Hey, are you embarrassed to say I'm short?" After talking about weight, and talking about height, Zhou Yi completely became the opposite foil. Zhou Yi couldn't bear it anymore, he stood in front of Ge Ce with his head held high, almost half a head taller than Ge Zen.

"I'm talking about Mark's height being taller than yours, Zhou Yi, not me. I'm certainly not as tall as you. Götze said. "Don't you compare yourself to me, you're going to stand next to Mark?"

"Are you stupid for me?" Zhou Yi snorted and continued to stand beside Götze with his head held high.

Götze ignored him and continued to say to Mark: "So your own conditions are not as bad as you think, and you certainly can't be a striker like Schneider who can play directly with his back to the back. But you can't hide when you see a defender like you do now. You must know that not everyone will take care of you like Zhou Yi when he passes the ball, care for you, and make you feel comfortable to pick up. More often than not, you're in a very bad environment and you're fighting for the ball with the opposing defenders, and if you're avoiding them, how are you going to play?"

With Gotze finished, Mark fell into deep thought.

Playing away from defenders is really a habit of him, he has developed it since he was a child, and in the final analysis it is a psychological fear, he is afraid of physical contact with defenders, because then he will not be able to receive the ball......

But how many people can find the vacancy accurately like Zhou Yi and then pass the football to themselves?

And Zhou Yi is not just looking for openings, he will create some openings through his running and passing in the game.

Others, how many will have this kind of patience?

Mark's position is not very good, the vacancy is not very obvious, so simply don't pass the football to Mark.

Over time, Mark couldn't even get the ball on the field, so he was naturally reduced to a substitute and a substitute for the bench.

"So if you want to be able to play and play well after you play, you have to change that habit and be physically involved with defenders. Gotze said.

Zhou Yi nodded beside him: "Yes, it doesn't matter if you fall." If you can fall in the box, maybe there will be a penalty?"

"That's a fake fall!" Gotze hurriedly objected.

"How is it a fake fall? Mark is a real fall! With Mark's small body, is there any problem with falling against people?" Zhou Yi said very seriously.

And when Mark heard Zhou Yi say this, a fantasy expression obviously appeared on his face.

Gotze hurriedly waved his hand, dispelling Mark's illusion that he fell in the penalty area and won a penalty: "Don't listen to Zhou Yi's nonsense. If the opponent doesn't raise his arm, it will be a reasonable collision, and no one cares how many laps you fall in the penalty area! ”

Zhou Yi grimaced, and Mark realized that Zhou Yi was talking nonsense just now.

※ ※ ※

In the offensive combination training, Zhou Yi could see that his words with Gotze still worked. Mark is obviously consciously going to the defender for a physical confrontation, instead of deliberately staying away from the defender as before, and can't wait to hide directly outside the field.

Of course, this didn't work well at first, with Mark always falling to the ground as he fought with opposing defenders for the latter's possession.

Even the head coach Yebala couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Mark: "Didn't you have breakfast?

"Mark, you've fallen again, are you wearing the wrong shoes?

......

In the face of the manager's reprimand, Mark silently accepted it every time with his head down, but when the training continued, he began to stick to his own way again, constantly confronting the defenders, and then fell to the ground without suspense......

Seeing Mark's appearance, Schneider's face was full of disdain, and he would snort coldly.

However, he finally didn't directly ridicule Mark, because he didn't want to be kicked off the training ground by the manager again...... That's just a shame!

At the end of a training session, Mark's jersey and training vest were all colored, covered in grass clippings and mud, and he looked like a mud monkey.

However, Mark himself was quite happy, and after he came down, he said to Zhou Yi: "How is it? Am I particularly brave!"

Zhou Yi looked at Mark's blue and purple appearance and nodded: "It's very brave, but it's also very brainless." ”

"Huh?" Mark didn't expect Zhou Yi to say this about him, shouldn't he praise himself at this time?

Zhou Yi spread his hands: "So your sister always looks down on athletes, and thinks that athletes are brainless fools, I think most of them have something to do with you...... Courage is commendable, but training and improvement must also have the right means and methods. You're bumping around like this, and it's of little use other than to hurt yourself. If you want to fight against defenders, you have to have the right way to fight against them, right? At least you have to strengthen your strength training, right? It just so happened that I was practicing strength with Coach Wangle during this time, and I had some experience. I see you don't have to practice shooting after you finish training, you come to the gym and I teach you to practice strength, especially upper body strength, which can strengthen your confrontation ability. Don't you think I've been fighting physically better during this time than before?"

Mark thought about it carefully and nodded: "It seems to be better......"

"So you see, a body like mine can be improved, let alone you. Kicking is actually a sport that requires the brain, and it is much better to know the right way than to use brute force. Zhou Yi said.

Mark is very happy and convinced of Zhou Yi, he thinks that Zhou Yi knows a lot and has a high level.

He nodded again and again: "I listen to you, Zhou Yi!"

"Then let's work together!" Zhou Yi patted Mark on the shoulder.

"Okay, let's work together!"
