Chapter 385 Practice Makes Perfect
The next day, media in the UK, Europe, and even around the world were hyping up the incident of Tottenham Hotspur losing to the Emirates Stadium last night, and the team's bus was blocked and smashed by fans. Ye Qiu's actions also attracted great attention, with mixed reputations and bad things.
Early in the morning, many journalists and media gathered outside the gate of the Ziegwell training base, but they were all blocked at the gate of the training base and were forbidden to enter the training base. The outside was almost full of speculation, but the training of the first-team players in the Ziegwell training base was as usual.
Because there was a tough battle last night, Tottenham Hotspur did not take any high-intensity training early this morning, but arranged more relaxation and adjustment projects, hoping that the players could recover as soon as possible.
Ye Qiu has never advocated high-intensity compact training during intensive league processes, because in intensive schedules, the physical condition of the players is not very ideal. At this time, it is easy to cause some unnecessary injuries to the players. Therefore, unless it is necessary, his high-intensity training is generally arranged at the beginning of the season.
Mauro Tasotti is an expert in organizational defense. In the past few months he has been studying with Ye Qiu. One of the important topics is how to extend his organizational concept of defense to the whole team, and how to build the team's defensive system through the orderly running and cutting of the whole team from front to back.
At present, Tottenham Hotspur has gradually had a certain framework, but the effect has not been reflected. On the one hand, it is because there are problems with players in the local position of the team. For example, the third-place midfielder is a big weakness. Yaya Toure's performance is good and bad, and he cannot give important tasks for the time being. Davis is already old
Ye Qiu once admitted his mistake at an internal meeting of the coaching staff, but everyone knew that this was a mistake, but it could not be attributed to Ye Qiu because no one could fully grasp the physical and condition of the player.
After coming to Tottenham Hotspur, Mauro Tassoti felt that he had made a lot of progress, and many things and ideas became clear. Among them, he felt that what made him most bright was Ye Qiu's high requirements for some training details, and he had even reached a level of almost demand.
Tottenham Hotspur trains every day, and a lot of them are emphasized in the basic technical details of the players, and one of the very important ones is to stop the ball.
Mauro Tasotti and Van Basten were once teammates. He admired Van Basten's ability to stop the ball very much. It was a technical detail full of skills and art. You can't tell in detail how much technology he contained, but what is presented on the football field is a very delicate stopping action again and again.
Some people say that Van Basten is elegant and elegant, while others say that Van Basten is fatal and dangerous, but no matter what he says, it is ultimately because he has something, that is the shocking stop.
Because I finished the North London derby yesterday, the training class this morning was mainly about recovery and adjustment. The players started various games, such as monkey walking, wall collision, etc., which were all game projects that emphasized technical details and were very fast-paced. It is said that these game projects started when Ye Qiu was in Ajax.
Whenever it comes to rest time, Murenstin and Monitz will definitely become the busiest people, because they will walk up as soon as possible and tell this group of players who are resting, what are the places they have made mistakes just now, how to correct them, and even give opinions on how to do it better, etc.
In the last half hour, Ye Qiu even arranged training events around stopping the ball. These have been accustomed to everyone in the team for a while. Sometimes Ye Qiu would even draw a small circle and let the players stand inside to stop the ball passing from outside. Even if it is a bad stop, they will be punished.
The content of the punishment is not tiring, but it is very boring. They are all very basic details of the suspension, which is very boring. I believe it is impossible to see it in the training grounds of other first-team teams, because these are all practiced by players when they were young, and they can become professional players. They are basically very good in this aspect, but Ye Qiu still insists on training in this aspect every day.
But don't think that Ye Qiu wants to practice all the players' stops to the extreme. In fact, this is impossible.
Many delicate skills in the football field have been cultivated since childhood. After a certain age, it is basically very difficult to improve. For example, a professional player in his twenties is relatively poor in skills. If he wants to practice to the same level as Ronaldinho, he will probably not be able to practice for his whole life. He doesn't even need to be like Ronaldinho. As long as he can reach first-class level, it will be very, very difficult.
This is why the technical details training is more concentrated on youth training丨It is before the age of 14, because during that period, players made the fastest progress in technology. After this age group, if you want to make progress, you will get half the result with twice the effort.
Stop the ball is undoubtedly the most difficult skill to practice, but it is the core of all football techniques
Maybe it can be said that the most important measure of all top players is stopping the ball
But stopping is like all football skills. It not only includes the process of passing the ball to you and how you stop the ball to your own feet, but also includes many things, for example, for a forward, how he judges the incoming trend of the ball, and then uses the moment the heel ball touches to change the direction of the ball, and directly hits the pass into a shot. The striker's stopping and ball sense are very important here. If he is not good at these two abilities, he cannot grasp the direction and angle of the ball at all.
Mauro Tassoti remembered Van Nistruei. There is a very special thing about this Dutch striker, which is that he is used to stopping the ball and then playing. This is very, very rare among top strikers, because these are usually skills that only strikers like Henry and Ronaldo use. For a center who captures murderous intent in the penalty area, more direct shots like Crespo, Batistuta, and Inzaghi.
Because direct shots are often faster and more sudden than after stopping the ball, it is difficult for defensive players to react. Even for many players and coaches, they will try their best to avoid the striker from stopping the ball and then playing, because that is easy to miss the opportunity to fight and miss the best and most suitable starting opportunity.
So, why isn't this a problem for Van Nistruy?
Mauro Tassoti studied this issue when he was AC Milan, but he did not get any results. After coming to Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu gave him the answer, that is, Fanny's stop.
"If you study Fanny's technique carefully, you will definitely find that his stopping has a very important impact on his next step of starting and shooting. If he doesn't stop well, he will definitely not hit the goal. His stopping is not to stop the ball at his feet, but to a position where he sets himself in advance and is most comfortable to hit the goal."
"So when we look at Fanny's shooting, sometimes we feel like we are done in one go, stop the ball, turn around, and kick the foot. The whole movement is very coherent. Even in the penalty area, he can use such a set of movements very skillfully. However, it becomes a burden to stop the ball on other strikers, but it becomes a skill for him to avoid defensive players."
Fanny's shooting rate is high, why? Because he stopped the ball to the defensive player before shooting, but he was the most comfortable place. The next kick was naturally easy, and the shooting rate was naturally high.
Ye Qiu's original words made Mauro Tassoti fully understand why Ye Qiu insisted on stopping the ball and technical training in details, because whether it was stopping the ball or other technical details, it was necessary to rely on long-term persistence to ensure that feeling, which is what many people call the sense of ball.
There is no way to say that the ball sense is just to understand it yourself, but if you don’t practice it for a long time, it will retreat, and keep retreating. When you retreat a technique that you are familiar with, it becomes very unfamiliar and unfamiliar. So why should Beckham keep practicing? Because this is the only way to ensure his feeling of passing the ball.
Similarly, why players such as Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Zidane have been practicing at their peak, and it is also to maintain their unique sense of ball. Only in this way can they ensure their performance on the court. Once they stop, their technical movements will become stiff sooner or later, and their performance will be poor.
Ye Qiu asked Van Persie to improve his physical strength to fight. At first, the players themselves did not understand it very well, but after watching Fanny's performance and training, everyone understood it because Van Persie has a better and more delicate ability to stop the ball than Fanny, and he has the imagination and ball-making ability that Fanny does not have, but he lacks Fanny's physical strength to fight.
Fanny dared to stop the ball in the penalty area because he had enough physical strength to support it. Otherwise, if someone else would be tilted, what ball would be stopped and what goal would be?
The same goes for some other players in the team. Ye Qiu always requires them to persist in technical details training at least a certain time every day. For many players, including Gareth Bale, Carol, Cavani, Ashley Young and other frontcourt players, as well as some players in the team who do not have excellent ability to stop balls, Ye Qiu has given high training requirements.
Performing every technical action with purpose is the core concept of Tottenham Hotspur's football, but for stopping, Ye Qiu particularly emphasizes two points, that is, the second before stopping and the second after stopping.
The second before the ball stop means telling all players that before the ball stops, you must figure out why you should stop the ball, what to do after the ball stops, whether to pass, belt or shoot, all of which must be considered clearly before the ball stops.
The second after the ball is stopped, the player is asked to stop the ball. The purpose of stopping is not to stop the ball at his feet. This is a misunderstanding of many professional players. The purpose of stopping the ball is to be able to better connect to the next move, and is to be consistent.
Being able to stop the ball steadily is the standard for a good player; being able to stop the ball and connect with your next move is the standard for a first-class player; and when you can practice to mix the stop ball with other technical movements like flowing, you are the top
Ye Qiu mentioned two players who had played in the Premier League, and they were all from Arsenal, namely Borgkamp and Nvankovo Canu. He believes that both players have the best stopping skills, and Borgkamp needs to be said. If it weren't for a heart attack, Kanu would definitely become the top and best striker.
Of course, Ye Qiu is also very clear that the top-level stopping skills need not only practice, but also talent and imagination. They are hard to come by, but the standards for stopping for first-class players can be practiced.
This is another misunderstanding about football. People think that football depends purely on talent, but they don’t know that football actually depends on practice.
The most important factor in cultivating a sense of ball is long-term training. Without long-term training, geniuses cannot become geniuses at all. As long as they can maintain long-term training, the sense of ball can be accumulated and trained. In the words of Chinese ancestors, practice makes perfect.
Moreover, during training, Ye Qiu kept asking Monitz and Murenstin to point out and craft the players' stops and technical movements. What he asked the most was not to make every player become the best stopper, but to hope that everyone in the team could have skillful stopping ability, and at least have the ability to complete the stop and the next moves coherently.
Mauro Tasotti stood by the training ground and watched the first team players on the court train under the coaching staff. He could feel the progress the team has made in the past few months, and all the players in the team could also feel it, which is something that others could not understand.
It’s like the player’s sense of ball, fans, reporters, and audiences can’t see progress, but only the players themselves can understand that every touch and every time they handle the ball on the court, he can feel whether it is good or bad, whether it is progress or regress.
Because the players clearly see the progress of themselves and their teammates, even though Tottenham Hotspur’s performance is not very ideal now, everyone is full of confidence and expectations for the future because they see that everything is developing and progressing in a good direction.
Mauro Tassoti is also full of expectations for the future of this team. He doesn't know what changes will the Tottenham Hotspur appear in the Premier League when he is extremely skilled, similar to the one-shot pass and receiving cooperation like Manchester United's golden four midfielder era, and hold high the banner of offensive football and technical style, and combine many other elements and styles.
Perhaps, the most direct and most likely change is to further promote the technologicalization and tactical continentalization of the Premier League.
With Roland's whistle, the training ended.
But the players on the training ground did not rush to leave, but were discussing some details with the coaching staff and teammates there. Many people even demonstrated some of the technical movements in person. For example, Van Nie was demonstrating the technical details of the goal stopping the ball and turning around to shoot.
Don’t underestimate such a simple technical action, which contains very, very complex things, such as the stopping technique, such as the length of the leg, the amplitude of the leg when exerting force, etc., all affect the quality and completion of the player’s kicking.
Football is a very, very complex system project, so complicated that no one can even use data to complete research on it, because it contains too many things, and any of them can change everything.
Mauro Tasotti heard that Ye Qiu decided to set up a football research center in the new Theobord training base. He heard that he also planned to develop some or introduce some high-tech training methods in the research center, hoping to help players improve their strength.
This is full of temptation for Mauro Tasotti, who has personally experienced the magic of Milan laboratory from AC Milan, because he really wants to know what new tricks Ye Qiu would come up with in the research center.
"What are you laughing at?" When Mauro Tasotti thought of the future prospects and couldn't help laughing, Ye Qiu appeared beside him, looking puzzled.
Mauro Tasotti smiled, "I heard you had a quarrel with your wife last night."
"Nonsense" Ye Qiu felt a ghost in his heart, but his mouth was very hard, "Who said that?"
"The Sun" Mauro Tasotti laughed.
"I'll go fuck the Sun" Ye Qiu cursed angrily, "Which eye of their eyes saw me quarrel with my wife?"
The Sun's reporting techniques are all famous, but they are ambiguous words such as X-ray and X-ray, or speculation, but they use the previous and subsequent sentences to make readers have a concept of believing it. It's really vulgar.
Mauro Tasotti laughs out loud. Being a celebrity has such a disadvantage. You have to face everything Ye Qiu is facing now anytime and anywhere. Who makes you a celebrity?
"Hey, it's okay. Go back and let Vahiba go to your house and tell your wife. It's okay, she will forgive you." This bastard Ribery came out of nowhere, looking like I felt very sympathetic to you, walked over to Ye Qiu and threw down this sentence.
"I" Ye Qiu is very innocent and wants to defend himself.
But Fanny also walked over to him and nodded, "Yes, we all know that it is difficult to admit such a thing, so we can only give you sympathy, but be sure to cheer up and don't surrender to women." This guy also made a fist and cheer up, which made Ye Qiu say as if he represented the dignity of a man.
But just as Ye Qiu flew out, he had already run away quickly.
"You didn't even see you running as fast on the court." Ye Qiu cursed at Fanny angrily.
The players around them burst into laughter. If they were on the court or on the training ground, they would be afraid of Ye Qiu, but if they were outside the court, they were not afraid at all, and they even dared to joke about Ye Qiu. They used to be in the player area of the training building, but gradually, after Ribery waited for Ye Qiu's old players to start, they gradually followed.
Ye Qiu was puzzled and helpless because he was too young when he was in Ajax and got along with the players. Later, when he arrived at Chelsea, Macon and others also brought this trend to Chelsea. Now when he came to Tottenham Hotspur, Ribery and others brought it to White Hart Lane, which is really innocent.
But just a week after Ye Qiu almost shouted about his innocentness, when Alan Padu faced the media, he was also shouting about his innocentness, and his expression was full of desolation after being tortured.
