vs 643 Leaders on the field
Chinese After an away win over PSV Eindhoven to get off to a good start to this year's Champions League, the Liverpool players are back in England.
Kuyt, who played well, naturally received a lot of praise, and in an interview with the media, Kuyt also thanked Zhao Yaning, "I have to thank Zhao Yaning for his trust and help to me, he doesn't care about my mistakes, and constantly passes the ball to me, so that I get a lot of opportunities." He's the best in the world and I hope I can do better and I believe that with such great team-mates, we can really get better. β
Kuyt's words made Zhao Yaning also very happy: aside from his praise, at least, being able to speak like this already shows that he has begun to identify with the team. Integrating into a team is not only about skills, but also about mood, habits, and relationships with teammates. A person may be willing to join another team because it is better, but if you want to feel happy in your new team, you still need to rely on the establishment of mutual affection. Being able to feel the help from his teammates and the relationship with his teammates is getting better and better, which is enough to show that Kuyt is starting to integrate into this team.
And Kuyt's rapid integration into the team also made Zhao Yaning also get a lot of praise at this time.
"Now Zhao Yaning, playing football is becoming more and more like a leader and commander." Many newspapers have given Zhao Yaning's approach a very high evaluation, "Zhao Yaning is helping his teammates to improve while he is constantly improving." Since last season, he has always played good balls for his team-mates, sometimes even sacrificing his own chances to help them build confidence and integrate into the team. In doing so, Walcott continued to improve, Fowler returned to form, and Kuyt integrated into the team. A good player is often a good leader, and Zhao Yaning is obviously an excellent leader. He is a great player when he plays well, and he is constantly helping his teammates find their form and help them improve. β
Outstanding leader, Zhao Yaning, never imagined that he would be able to get this evaluation one day. But think about it, which leader didn't rely on his outstanding performance to help the team become better and win respect? Since he is the best player in the team and has done enough, it is only a matter of time before he is called a leader.
To his surprise, when he returned to England, he was really treated as a leader, and he was called out by two other players to discuss things with him.
These two men are Diego Milito and Mohamed Sissoko.
"Joey, I just wanted to ask you, do you really enjoy working with a player like Kuyt?"
When Milito asked, he was still a little uneasy. His appearance was also seen by Zhao Yaning, seeing his appearance, Zhao Yaning immediately understood their thoughts, "Are you afraid that you will lose the main position, so you came to me?" β
"Joey, I've had that guess." Milito didn't hide either, "I think you should like to work with a striker with strong coordination ability, after all, a striker with strong coordination ability can help you score more goals and make your play more visible." And a striker like me always steals the limelight. I want to ask you ......."
"Diego, as long as you are back in shape, I still prefer to work with you." Zhao Yaning waved his hand, "What kind of striker I work with, it actually doesn't matter, you know my temper, I'm not the kind of person who has to ask for goal numbers, I don't really care about the number of goals - of course, it doesn't hurt to have a little more." I did like working with Moreau before, but that's because we've known each other for a long time and have a better relationship. β
Zhao Yaning didn't say much, but Milito also understood that he and Zhao Yaning had known each other longer than Kuyt.
"And I also want the strikers in front of me to have less possession, less possession, more shots, more movement, just get my ball. Dirk is a good player, very motivated, very hard-working, but I still prefer to work with you. When you play football, no one can read your own thoughts, and your passes are always not received by others, which is a painful thing. I didn't understand it before, but now I've worked with Dirk a lot, and I kind of understand it......"
After Inzaghi's move to Milan, he openly declared that he liked Rui Costa's passing more than Zinedine Zidane. And Rui Costa also responded, he is happy to work with the companion Inzaghi - passing skills, sometimes it requires the striker's shooting skills and running position as a backdrop, if others always can't read their own thoughts, the fun of passing, where do you get it?
Since Zhao Yaning's debut, he has been cooperating with Rounda, Poolau, Morientes, Milito and others, and he knows an Adebayo who is a real striker who can't shoot, but at that time, the two did not cooperate much after all. And now, Kuyt's style of play is still very frustrating for him. Zhao Yaning is not a person who is keen on scoring goals, and sometimes, some of his ideas are very much wanted the striker to understand, but Kuyt is obviously not good.
"I helped Dirk in the hope that he would be able to integrate into the team as soon as possible. It is true that scoring more goals will not improve his skills, but it can make him trust the team more and integrate faster. But when you come back, I'm sure you'll still be the shooter's first choice. As for the tactical arrangement, I think the coach will have a good idea. β
Milito nodded, what he wanted was Zhao Yaning's verbal support. He is not afraid of competition, but he is afraid that Kuyt, who is good at making balls, has the support of Zhao Yaning, and it will be troublesome if the coach changes all his tactics for this.
However, while talking, it seems that Zhao Yaning is still very supportive of himself, which is enough for him.
But Sissoko still has a problem, "What about me?" Joey, we're working well together, aren't we? β
"Momo, to be honest, Javier played better than you." After a pause, Zhao Yaning spoke, "If you don't admit this, it's not okay, South Americans' skills are delicate." β
"So you support him as the main force, don't you support me?" Sissoko asked rhetorically.
"Momo, it's for the good of the team. However, your problem is that the passing is not good enough. If you want, let's practice the two of us every day, and I'll help you train the pass, and maybe you can catch up. β
"Who knows how long that will take." Sissoko muttered.
"No matter how long it takes, I'll just be with you." Zhao Yaning said, "Now the media says that I am a leader - I will not do anything else, but I will play, train, and play." I promise you, if we play football together for a day, I will definitely help you for a day, I will definitely help you and play at your highest level. β
-----------------------------------------
Soon, in the upcoming league game, Milito was given the opportunity to start in the match between Liverpool and Tottenham. The team lined up in a 442 formation, with Zhao Yaning and Steven Gerrard on the wings, while Kuyt and Milito started together.
Last season, Tottenham wanted to rush to the top four of the league and get a place in the Champions League, but in the end, they fell short in the last three rounds. This season, Michael Carrick was sold to Manchester United, Davies is getting older and too much to use, and last season's excellent midfield combination has nothing left of them.
They have made some reinforcements this season. They bought Liverpool's Colwill and then brought in Murphy and Ligue 1 side Zim Bonda to make their backfield a little bit better. However, such a lineup, when it met Liverpool, the midfielder did not suppress the opponent's strength, and was quickly suppressed by Liverpool.
However, although Liverpool suppressed Tottenham, they were slow to score.
"This season, Liverpool can play against any strong team, but it is extremely difficult for them to score a goal. Kuyt always doesn't score, just got a little better, this game is replaced by Milito and he grabbed the chance, I really don't know what they are thinking. β
Kuyt just played well in the last game, and naturally he also attracted attention, and he did not start this game, which naturally caused speculation. However, Zhao Yaning appreciated this decision: Kuyt played well, but Milito recovered, isn't it better than him? Moreover, if you can cooperate well, isn't it also a change of formation?
And this game was very unexpected, from the start, Liverpool played a rare good goal. Kuyt kept pulling the side, making Liverpool's frontcourt all come alive, and Zhao Yaning and Gerrard's non-stop running also made Liverpool's frontcourt extremely dynamic, which also gave Milito a lot of opportunities.
And after 45 minutes of continuous running in the first half, the Liverpool players also began to sort out how to run. In the second half, shortly after the break, Liverpool got their first chance.
Gerrard picked the ball into the box after a smooth pass. Kuyt, on the other hand, met the incoming ball and fired a shot from four yards in front of goal, but it hit the post!
The near-empty shot left both players stunned for a moment, and Milito had taken advantage of the opportunity to make up for it accurately and kick the ball into the net!
"Milito's stoppage! Kuyt should be ashamed of his marksmanship, if he hadn't made up for it, he would have been the sinner of the day. β
Milito waved his arms happily and returned from injury to score the first goal so quickly, and he was still quite happy.
The support of my teammates is indeed a force for improvement.
Soon, Kuyt found a better opportunity.
This time, after Zhao Yaning got the ball, he saw the opportunity and passed the ball away from Dawson. Gerrard and Milito were both in an offside position, which prevented either of them from taking the ball, and the Tottenham players had already raised their hands high to signal offside, but at this time, Kuyt rushed up quickly from behind.
Kuyt catches the ball, not offside!
In an instant, two people who were in an offside position turned into three men in a threatening position at the same time as Kuyt burst forward in front of them with the ball. And this time, Kuyt didn't choose to pass the ball again, this opportunity was run by his own running, and he naturally had to rely on his own shot to get the goal!
Kick up, push!
βgooooalοΌοΌοΌοΌ Kuyt scored a goal!! He relied on his relentless movement to secure a chance for himself and scored a goal!! β
Kuyt let out a roar and was thrilled to be able to score with his style of play! He is never lazy in the game, and he also believes that he can score goals with this style of play!
The role of the leader does not come by fame and salary, Zhao Yaning is now constantly helping his teammates, so that his teammates can play better, and at the same time, he is more and more aware of this matter: Gerrard is the spiritual leader of the team, the captain, but on the field, the most trustworthy, trusted, and able to get help from him is Zhao Yaning.
