Section 27 Master of Free Kicks

Early the next morning, the two of them boarded the train to Bastia.

The person I want to see over there, Squeiraci has already been contacted, and Zhao Yaning is happy not to worry about anything. He also asked Squealer why he went with him, and Squealaki told him that he contacted Lyon privately, and he didn't want the rest of the club to know, there were many people, and before the matter was decided, if it was revealed to Monaco, it would not end well in the future. The reason why I told Zhao Yaning was because Zhao Yaning and he were roommates, and they definitely couldn't hide it, so Squeirachi had no choice but to pull him over.

And on the way, Squealer also told him that after arriving at the place, let him practice with the players of Lyon, he talked to the coaches of Lyon, and asked Zhao Yaning not to disturb him as much as possible - this kind of thing that is carried out in private, one more person knows more trouble, and Squeerage is also afraid that Coach Lyon will be dissatisfied.

Zhao Yaning naturally agreed to this suggestion, and he was originally only interested in Lyon's players. As for what Squealer did to hide from the club, although Zhao Yaning also thought that there should be some things that should not be done, he didn't know anyone from the Monaco club, so he couldn't be anxious about Squealaci's affairs.

Their destination was not in the city of Bastia, but in a small sports complex near a beach on the outskirts of the city. What Lyon want is this kind of semi-casual fitness training, and it couldn't be better in a place like this.

They were greeted by Alain Simeone, a coach at Lyon. He was a little surprised by Zhao Yaning's arrival, but after Squeerage explained, he also accepted Zhao Yaning into the stadium.

Zhao Yaning was a little surprised that things went so smoothly, but Squeerage told him that at this time of year, there will be many young people who are favored and tried out by major clubs, and he goes to Lyon's training, as long as it is said to be a trial, which is a very common thing.

Sure enough, when he entered the strength room of the training, although several players present were surprised, no one said anything.

"Hey, meet again." There are not many people in the power room, only a few Brazilian foreign aides such as Edmilson, Zhao Yaning also knows that there is more than this training room here, and others may have gone to other rooms, "Are you ready to join the Lyon team?" ”

"No, I'm just here to see and learn something from you, I don't want to join Lyon." Zhao Yaning hurriedly replied.

"If you look down on Leon, it's your own loss." Edmilson didn't advise much, "And we don't have any more foreign aid slots." ”

Ligue 1 stipulates that there can only be three non-European foreign players, and Lyon's three places are used for Sonny Anderson, Juninho and Casapa. Although Edmilson is also Brazilian, he holds an Italian passport and is not considered a foreign player.

However, generally speaking, Ligue 1 teams have much more foreign players than this. But because the vast majority of Africans enjoy non-foreign aid treatment in Ligue 1, those Africans are not considered to be in violation, and Ligue 1 has a big advantage in this regard.

The real non-European reinforcements are generally only South Americans for the French.

Zhao Yaning is a rare player from Asia, but he is not a foreign player. Because France's youth training system is very good, many teams have set their sights on the discovery of football talents from other continents, so Ligue 1 also stipulates that players under the age of 21 are not considered foreign aid in Ligue 1. Zhao Yaning is not yet old, so he is not subject to this restriction.

But it seems that Edmilson does not see this.

"Jose, he doesn't look like he's old." Sonny Anderson spoke.

"I can't tell how old Asians are, I don't have much contact with Asians." Edmilson shook his head, "I look like they're all about the same anyway. ”

"Just one another." Zhao Yaning couldn't help but return the sentence.

Edmilson looked at him, wanted to say something, and shook his head again, "Forget it, I don't know like you little children." What are you doing here? Who are you looking for? ”

"I'm here for little Jujunio." Although there are a lot of people around, it seems very shameless to say this, but Zhao Yaning still spoke, "I want to learn free kick skills with him." ”

Edmilson whistled, Sonny Anderson laughed, and Casapa slapped Juninho twice on the back, "Go ahead, Mr. Half, someone has come to ask you about your football skills." ”

"Mr. Half?" Zhao Yaning was taken aback when he heard this. It can be heard that this nickname is a description of his free kick skills, but the statement of half is too good to blow, right? When Miha arrived in Serie A, he claimed to score one of his three free kicks, which was considered bragging.

"That's just a nickname, not really." Juninho himself spoke, "Don't talk about that, he's not here to listen to us bragging." Do you want to learn free kicks? ”

Zhao Yaning nodded, but was a little nervous, "I just don't know if I have that talent." ”

"If you want to practice, you can practice, there is nothing difficult about free kicks, forwards, defenders, midfielders, some goalkeepers can take a good free kick. This kind of technique is practiced, and it has nothing to do with talent. ”

This statement made Zhao Yaning feel novel, after coming to Europe, he has always heard the coaches talk about talent problems, not paying attention to talent, valuing acquired hard work, this is the first time to meet.

"I still have training to do, so if you're okay, tell me about your own free-kick situation first."

Zhao Yaning thought for a moment before speaking, "My own free kicks, at the beginning, were mainly to learn Piero's playing style, but I always felt that it was not very easy to use, and it seemed that the scope of application was too small. So then I learned a little bit of Miha's style of play, but I couldn't learn it myself, and I couldn't learn Beckham's curling ball at all. ”

The ones Zhao Yaning said are all stars who are famous in free kicks. Juninho nodded, waiting for him to finish before speaking, "Don't learn Beckham's curling style, don't learn it." That kind of kick is a huge test for supporting the feet and ankles, if you don't learn it well, you will hurt yourself, and there are many free kick kicks, and you can't learn the kind that is easy to get injured. Piero's kick is a power-based kick, the power must be excellent, and the kick path is a bit straight, the distance is between 22-25 meters, and that's how the Piero area comes from. If it's too straight, it's too likely to be saved, and if it's too far, I guess your legs won't be able to keep up. ”

Hearing Little Rujunio's comments, Zhao Yaning's confusion in his heart was also revealed. His feet are not strong enough, and he naturally can't use the power-based kick style.

"Miha's inner instep arc is really good, the arc is very beautiful, and it also has a little downspin, which is very practical to practice. But the same problem, if you don't have enough strength, you can't play that feeling. Miha's own free kick is only more than 30 meters away, right? I see that you are so thin, if you rub the instep of your foot, 30 meters will be a problem, right? ”

"Is there anyone else who can take a free kick from 40 meters away?" Zhao Yaning felt that Miha's free kick attack range was not narrow at all, almost all positions, but Juninho's words surprised him a little.

"If you use the right technique, you can kick it in the middle circle. The key is that you have to know when and what to play. Juninho laughed.

"What kind of free-kicks are you best at?" When Zhao Yaning heard this, he couldn't help but ask.

"I'm a stupid person, I don't have anything to create, I just see who is good at others, so I steal two tricks, and when I use it, I see what is applicable and what is used."

That is, all kinds of free kicks will be? Zhao Yaning couldn't believe it. There are many ways to kick free-kicks, and it's good for everyone to be able to master one. Beckham's curling ball is very good, but he has never kicked a fallen ball, and Miha's goal rate is extremely high, but in fact, the main kick is a curling ball with downspin from the instep of the instep. Piero's style of play is suitable for Piero's area, while Zola's is a banana ball, but all the footwork is good? How is that possible? If you know how to play one style, it's enough to be famous, and if you know all of them, wouldn't you be a monster?

"There are so many free kick footwork, all of them are practiced, how much effort do you have to put in?" Zhao Yaning asked a question suspiciously.

Hearing his disbelief, Juninho just smiled mildly and didn't say anything. He was a good-natured man, and he didn't take such offenses to heart. Just like now, his thoughts are at most a lesson in fact for a while.

"Actually, the key to a free kick is not how you play a free kick, it's more about your judgment. You don't have to be at the top of every technique, the key is that you know what technique to use and when. In the world of football, there is so much talent. No one can know the characteristics of each opponent, so the most important thing is to analyze the opponent's wall position to judge the characteristics of the opponent's goalkeeper, and then choose the best way to shoot according to the characteristics of your own teammates and the field. Juninho still taught him, "For example, Miha's instep curling is very suitable for mid-range shooting, while Piero's style of play is more suitable for free-kicks from close range. Learning to grasp and choose the timing is far wider than practicing a footwork. ”

"Why do I think the more I listen, the more complicated it gets?" Although Zhao Yaning understood Juninho's words, these timing judgments and the like all depend on the ball quotient, and he feels that the training of the ball quotient is far more difficult than the training of football skills.

"There's something not to understand. To put it simply, Beckham's kind of free kick is just a new move. It's just that he has practiced to the extreme, and every angle is very tricky, so the success rate is high. And the real masters, we Brazilians, decide the way to take free kicks based on the goalkeeper's technical weaknesses and positioning, even if the footwork is not as good as theirs, we can play better than them. Edmilson spoke next to him, "Those who rely on technology are always in a good or bad state. Especially those shots with poor angles, blindly looking for angles, will definitely shoot some balls off. But if you analyze your position carefully, then your shot is much safer. ”

"If you have top-notch skills and excellent selection judgment, you can also be Mr. Half." Kasapa added.

"Don't just talk that nonsense, let's go to the stadium in a while, let them stand on the wall, and I'll show you how." Juninho replied with a smile.

"Will you teach me?" Zhao Yaning was a little surprised.

"What can't be taught? I don't have any special skills, it's just some experience, even if I don't teach it, you just have to work on free kicks and spend a few years figuring it out. Those free-kick masters in Europe don't necessarily have worse judgment than me. "After coming to Europe, I have a new understanding of European defense, so I will explain it to you, and it is just so good for me to sort out my own experience these days." ”

Zhao Yaning nodded excitedly.

He has his own system, and as long as Juninho is willing to teach him, then he will also get a new coach.

And this man has a much better temper than Anelka.
