Football’s First Defender

In football, victory is the cure for all diseases! Zenit, which has won two consecutive victories, finally came out of the predicament at the beginning of the game, although there are still many unresolved problems hidden under the surface of victory!

but! No football team is perfect. Players are not robots. Human factors determine that there will be various problems. Some problems cannot be completely solved. To maximize the coverage of problems, Reducing its impact on the team is what the head coach needs to do!

And victory is the simplest and most practical way. Only by constantly achieving victory can you cover up your team's problems and keep the team in a good upward momentum!

Advocaat, taking advantage of his absolute control over the players and the management's confidence in himself, succeeded in relying on changes and won two games, at least allowing everyone in Zenit to successfully immerse themselves in the game. Amidst the joy, the Dutch old man had a rare chance to breathe a sigh of relief!

As far as tactics are concerned, no one will give up and win tactics. Advocaat, who has tasted the sweetness of defense in two consecutive games, even started to practice more defensive tactics in training. He pretended that he had learned the experience of the Russian Super League, but in fact he put aside his own morals and prepared to "cooperate with others." up!

However, as an experienced coach, Advocaat also understands that fans are the most unreliable group. Fans are a typical group of people who eat their bowls and look at their pots. It is a common problem of fans to never be satisfied! When they are familiar with the feeling of victory, they will ask for more beautiful football, hope that the ball will be played better, hope that the home team will not win by one goal, but keep scoring goals, the more goals the better!

And as a Dutchman with offense in his bones, Advocaat still wonders whether he can rely on transfers or dig inside, or through more training, so that the defense can be improved while ensuring league points. Improvement, as long as it can meet the basic requirement of not losing the chain in the back defense when the front attack is flying!

In fact, in the original history, Zenit's entire 2007 Russian Super League was a process of exploring and adapting tactics. Throughout the season, the team's performance has been ups and downs. Facing weaker opponents, they set up the banner of offense. The team's offense is full of fun, and then the defense digs holes, 3 to 2, 4 to 3. For the score, Zenit is unique in the entire Russian Super League. Fortunately, it can always rely on more goals and score enough points in the end!

When facing an opponent with a certain strength, Zenit had to give up part of its offensive firepower to give priority to ensuring the stability of its own defense. As a result, scoring goals became extremely difficult. After the whole game, it was the regular rhythm of the Russian Super League , Both sides need a little luck to score goals!

Zenit finally won the championship in 2007, first of all thanks to the fact that the Russian Super League itself is in the stage of hegemony. Sparta Moscow, which has always occupied the top spot in the season, encountered various obstacles from other teams in the final stage!

As for Zenit, finally in the last ten rounds, the tactics have been thoroughly run-in. While ensuring strong offensive firepower, the defense line can finally stop digging holes!

It is precisely by virtue of the powerful offensive firepower in the final stage of the league and the extremely stable defense that Zenit won 9 wins and 1 loss in the last 10 rounds of the Russian Super League, scoring 27 points and successfully reversed Moskvas at the end. Bada, became the champion of the new Russian Super League in 2007!

However, in this era of the Russian Super League, because of the addition of Yang Feng to the first team, no one knows whether Zenit's original lineup this year will undergo the original chemical changes. Or Yang Feng can also take the position and join the team's defensive rotation, so that history will be completely changed because of Yang Feng's joining!

Now Yang Feng's task is to train, train and train!

No star is born, and the difficulty of training determines the final upper limit of the player to a certain extent!

Talent determines your upper limit, training determines your lower limit, this is the norm in the football world! How many talented players are ruined by their own relaxation, such as Ronaldinho, Adriano, Gascoigne, their achievements could have been higher, but it is a pity...

And in the position of guard, there is no body! Everything is fake! As for the improvement of physical fitness, there is no shortcut except continuous training.

Football is not a purely literary game. The defender position corresponds to football, the most intuitive aesthetics of violence!

In the guard position, you can have excellent offensive talents, like Master Shui and Lucio, rushing forward at critical moments and relying on headers to bring the team victory.

You can also have an excellent ability to play the ball. As the team’s backcourt point of play, the team can advance from the backcourt to the frontcourt in a hierarchical manner. The defender can also be integrated into the offensive system and become the starting point of tactics. Or pick up points!

You can also have a good free kick, just like David Luiz, with a disheveled head, stepping forward and hitting a threatening free kick! You can also rely on your footwork to complete long pass scheduling directly in the backcourt!

However, the various abilities mentioned above can be said to be "pendants" for defenders! These abilities are bonus points for defenders, and also greatly increase the value of defenders!

But the core of every defender is defense!

And be defensive! In modern football, as physical fitness becomes more and more important, the physical confrontation ability of central defenders is constantly required to be improved!

Those so-called technical central defenders are only because of their good skills, but they still have qualified physical confrontation ability, rather than having skills that can make up for their lack of physical condition!

Now, Yang Feng is constantly strengthening confrontation in training, strengthening various physical confrontations with small movements in professional football matches!

These are all trainings that Yang Feng has been exposed to in the first team. Although it is possible to know that there are various small moves on the court that are either allowed by the rules or secretly carried out behind the referee's back when watching the game!

In the professional arena, in order to complete the set goal, such as when heading the goal, extremely standard movements and angles are required! Just like when you are watching a football game, when you are competing for a header to hit the goal, the height of the jump, the angle of the shot, the power of the header, all these require players to do as detailed as possible in order to complete high-quality shots. Door!

Most of the headers must be accompanied by the defensive player's leakage, so that the shooter can complete the goal without defensive pressure and without physical contact. There are actually very few people who are really hooked on scoring goals. They are all giant planets, hero balls!

It is also like a few people like Drogba or Ronaldo who have extremely strong core strength and body control ability, so that they can forcibly control their bodies and complete efficient shooting actions during physical confrontation!

After all, Yang Feng has only entered the professional football circle for a few months, and most of them are still in the youth team!

The youth team is actually very pure in action! How to put it, most of them are hot-blooded young people, and what everyone prefers is to prove their abilities by relying on bloody hand-to-hand combat. Secondly, there is also a lack of experience on the court. Everyone is still a rookie on the court. Some tricks of old fritters have not yet been taught by the words and deeds of the big brothers of the first team!

After Yang Feng entered the first team, he felt the greatest pressure. It was not various training tasks, nor tactical understanding, but the physical confrontation under the "interference" of this opponent!

In itself, Yang Feng's physical confrontation ability is still a little short of the confrontation standard of the top league. It is still a bit of a disadvantage for pure physical confrontation now, and he needs to continue to exercise to strengthen it!

If some small movements suffered in the confrontation are added, the gap between Yang Feng's physical confrontation will be even greater! In the individual training, Boer sometimes added various hidden small movements, which made Yang Feng's physical confrontation training miserable!

Just like when Yang Feng was taking off to compete for the top, Boll behind him would sometimes routinely yank Yang Feng's jersey to interfere with Yang Feng's take-off. Pulling the jersey is a good method to adapt to. After all, pulling the jersey itself is a common method in football games.

But sometimes pulling your shorts... It's a bit embarrassing. It not only affects your take-off height, but you will also have some scruples in your heart, which always feels weird!

It is clear that the shorts will not be pulled off, and they will definitely not be sold out, but there is always an inexplicable worry in my heart!

In addition, there are places that are invisible to the referee's eyes as Boll said. Boll will also use some small actions that are obviously foul, such as kicking Yang Feng's heel, stepping on Yang Feng's sneakers, or pushing Yang Feng's waist and eyes when Yang Feng takes off. etc……

Anyway, if it wasn't the coach behind him, this is the first time Yang Feng suffered such a dark loss, he would definitely want to turn around and beat up this "insidious villain" to vent his anger!

"Remember, Yang! Professional football players definitely not only have those glamorous appearances on TV, there are many dark sides waiting for you in positions where the cameras and referees can't take care of"

"During the game, someone will even use trash talk to affect your mentality!"

"At this time, as the team's defense of the last insurance, you must keep calm, and you must not be impulsive! Use your defense to respond to the opponent, not to regain the field verbally or physically!"

"As a rookie in the professional arena, I hope you can carry out the most basic training with peace of mind. Don't be too ambitious. Youth is your greatest capital. Only by laying a good foundation now can you play your best in the following games strength!"

"I know Mr. Ball!" Yang Feng actually still kept his focus on these boring basic physical training, and his enthusiasm for training has not dissipated!

"We Chinese have an old saying, 'Build high walls, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly' means to lay a good foundation first, and finally make a big splash!"

"I understand that my biggest disadvantage now is that my physical resistance ability is still not up to the standard, so practice me to your heart's content! As long as my body allows it, I am not afraid of hardship and tiredness!"

Yang Feng understands that today's suffering is for the glory of "being king" in the future!
