Chapter 122
"Leg training?"

Seeing this answer, Beckham frowned.

He understands that the purpose of leg training is probably to improve explosive power and speed, but is it appropriate to do so?

The England team has played 4-4-2 for decades, and there are actually not many wingers in their lineup.

The role of a full-back is more like a midfielder pulled to the side. The first requirement for them in the long pass tactic is to be able to run, preferably like a mule, running from the beginning to the end of the game.

The second requirement is to be good at crossing the ball with one hand, and you must also be good at 45-degree oblique long passes.

As for the speed, of course, the faster the better, even if the speed is fast, the physical fitness must meet the standard.

In the eyes of the English, a wide player's speed is slightly less important.If you can still sprint near the end of the race, then the advantage comes.

So Old John's answer made Beckham a little bit overwhelmed, and he asked on paper: "Can you explain in more detail."

After a while, Old John began to write: "David, you will definitely become a pivotal figure in the England team in the future. If you want to help the team go further, you must do everything possible to improve your personal ability.

We have agreed on this before.

In addition, I also want to emphasize that the British style of play has never been the trend of world football, and it will never be.

The England team often encounters moments when it cannot open the situation. If you want to open a breakthrough, you must have the ability to tear through the opponent's defense, just like Ryan. "

Seeing Old John's words, Beckham felt that there was nothing wrong with him, but he had been playing for so many years, and it would take time to change.

As the wings of the Manchester United team, Giggs and him are completely different ways of playing. The biggest role of getting the ball is to deliver shells for his teammates.

And Giggs has to clean up all the defenders when he gets the ball. Sometimes he doesn't need the cooperation of his teammates at all, he can lead the way by himself.

Although Beckham is unwilling to admit it, Giggs is indeed more in line with England's needs for wide players than him.

"David, you have to believe me, the biggest fear of a defender is not a precise passer, but a player who may pass him at any time.

The farther the England team goes in the World Series, the stronger the opponents they encounter will naturally be. At that time, there will always be a few guys who can't get past them with their skills.

Especially in the semi-finals of the World Series, you will find that many defensive players who do not seem to be so strong suddenly become watertight.For the championship, they bet everything.

At that time, even if two teams with distinct strengths and weaknesses compete on the same field, the scene will become very stalemate. At that time, maybe it is a small detail that determines the outcome of the game. Maybe your explosive power is better than his, and then you dribble into the penalty area. Believe me, that will be a decisive moment.

Therefore, it is very necessary to make yourself aggressive. "

I have to say that Old John's football theoretical foundation and ability to persuade people are good.

Looking at the content on the paper, Beckham was convinced that the middle-aged man on the other side of the paper was an excellent insurance salesman.

He was able to successfully propose an irresistible solution based on the client's existing situation.

However, he also has his difficulties, which cannot be ignored. He has to make it clear to Old John in advance, lest this quack doctor prescribe the wrong medicine and ruin himself.

So he wrote on the paper: "Mr. John, there is one thing you should be clear about. I am not a wide player who is good at speed. Since I was 10 years old, my physical fitness is better than that of my peers. This advantage often allows me to perform well at the end of the game.

But explosive power and speed are definitely not my strengths. Even if I practice hard for two years, I am afraid that I am not as good as Ryan in terms of speed. "

That's his biggest concern with speed work.

To be honest, as a wide player, explosive power and speed are not his strong points. Most of the time in the game, he tears through rhythm changes and coordination to break through the defense.

If he really fights for speed, he is at most a little faster than Gary Neville, and he is by no means an opponent of his younger brother, let alone Giggs.

Even Scholes started those two or three steps a little faster than him when he was grabbing points.

His 100-meter speed is 11 seconds 7 to 12 seconds. Since he was about 17 years old, his speed ability has basically been like this, and he has not been specially trained.

Because he felt that even if he practiced his speed to the extreme, he still couldn't outrun Giggs.

Instead of this, it is better to keep improving your own advantages. The final result is that the long board is long enough and the short board is not short.

After all, everyone has limited time and limited energy. Not many people can squeeze their physical potential like Gary Neville.

Even Gary feels that as he grows older, once his physical condition starts to decline, it may be difficult to maintain a high level. After all, he is training too hard now, but this is the only way for him to maintain a high level.

Beckham couldn't train as hard as he did, but he basically achieved the goals he set for himself.

After a few minutes of silence, Old John continued to scribble on the page: "David, the speed ability we want to improve is not the straight-line speed of a sprinter.

For football players, if the ability to combine the ball is not good, no matter how fast they are, it will be difficult to play a role in the game.

In another eight or nine years, Manchester United will buy a Portuguese boy who has good skills but only mediocre speed when he first came to the team.

But he has always paid attention to the training of lower body strength, and after about three to five years, he has a fairly good combination of man and ball.

Although his 100-meter speed is only 11 seconds, his broken-line running ability exceeds that of professional sprinters, especially his lateral movement ability.

David, the practice of leg strength is a job that a professional player should continue throughout his career. An athlete’s legs age the fastest. A self-disciplined life and continuous training can prolong your career. "

After reading Old John's reply, Beckham nodded in conviction. This guy is indeed an excellent insurance salesperson. He fully understands his worries and is very targeted when solving problems.

For his suggestion, I really couldn't refuse.

As for how to practice, there is no need to ask the other party for advice. After all, he has no professional player experience, and he can't do without paper.

When it comes to practice methods, you can invite professional coaches to help you. Professional people do professional things, this is the truth.

Just as he was thinking about how to go to the training class, Old John's handwriting appeared on the page again.

"David, there are more benefits to leg training. There is a popular saying in our age:

Men practice legs, women can't stand it, women practice legs, men can't stand it, men and women practice legs, the bed can't stand it.

Everyone is an adult, so I won't say much, and you will thank yourself for working hard on your legs at some point in the future.

In short, insist on practicing legs and benefit for a lifetime! "

After reading the last paragraph on the page, the corner of Beckham's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

This middle-aged man has a greasy temperament all the time, and he will get oily if he is not paying attention.

But he still accepted most of the opponent's reasons, and this approach sounds very reliable.

In the 12th round of the Premier League, Manchester United will face the impressive Arsenal.

Two days before the game, Ferguson called Beckham to his side alone: ​​"According to Dave's feedback, your body's lactic acid level is high during this period, which means that you are already in a state of fatigue.

Considering your health, I am going to let you rest in the next game. "

Hearing this news, Beckham felt a little bit like scolding his mother.

This old John didn't finish his sentence, the player practiced his legs, he couldn't bear it.
