Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 123 Taking Internal Control as the Standard

The brief meeting with Lin Fan has come to an end.Afterwards, he was immersed in training again, and of course the phone calls with Li Xueer after returning home were of course indispensable.

In the next few days of training, Yan Feng's state may have been overwhelmed by the collision with Lin Fan. He performed better and better in training, and even the head coach Stojkovic nodded frequently.Although Stojkovic is very satisfied with Yan Feng's performance in training, and also understands Yan Feng's performance in the reserve team game, but he just doesn't give Yan Feng a chance to compete.

On April 4th at home against Seoul FC, Yan Feng did not even make the squad again.This has to be said to be a blow to Yan Feng, who has been in a state of being and full of confidence recently.He felt that he was good enough in the last game against Guangzhou Evergrande's reserve team, and he also performed well in training. The head coach should be able to see and give him a chance to be on the list.The reality is that Lao Si didn't even give comfort and encouragement to enter the big list.

Yan Feng really didn't understand why, and felt very frustrated.

In fact, Yan Feng didn't understand just because he didn't understand the head coach's style.The head coach Stojkovic advocates a beautiful style of play based on pass and control. Yan Feng's current engineer-like playing style does not quite meet the tactical requirements of Lao Si.Although Lao Si still appreciates Yan Feng's positive attitude, he is unwilling to put a player whose style does not match the team's tactics into the current lineup.

Regarding this point, Yan Feng complained to Lin Fan later, and only after Lin Fan reminded him did he understand.But Yan Feng has no choice but to constantly strive to improve himself and show his own value.

Frustrated, Yan Feng sat in the stands and watched the game seriously on the day of the game.The AFC Champions League is currently the highest level of competition that Yan Feng can watch live.

While watching the game, Yan Feng let go of the negative emotions in his heart.He knows that his current level is not enough. If he can reach a level higher than that of his teammates, the coach must give himself a chance.Yan Feng wants to see how high-level players play, especially those foreign players.

In this game, Yan Feng did not watch the game with the perception of a fan, but watched the game with a coach-like gaze.He has learned a lot from various coaching books recently, and it's time to test it out.

But when Yan Feng looked at the game from a different direction than the fans, he realized that the game had become different.For example, when Xiao Zhi stopped the mid-air ball with his back, he lost the ball without even turning around.

"The ball did not stop well, and the ball was more than a step away from the foot. In a place like the front of the opponent's penalty area, the opponent will not give him the opportunity to run two steps."

On another occasion, Chen Zhizhao successfully swayed the defender and cut inside the center after a dazzling series of fake moves from the wing.But after just following one, the ball was destroyed by another defender.

"Using feints to open the opponent's defense zone, and successfully passed the opponent with the time difference. But the next ball after the pass was too strong, the ball left the distance of more than two steps, and approached the No.2 defensive player The defense zone. I don’t have enough time to handle the ball, but the opponent has enough time to intercept it. At the same time, when I handle the ball again, I still use the forward pull. fail."

In this game, the R&F team was successfully scored by the opponent using a counterattack opportunity.For this conceded goal, what Yan Feng saw was this: "Wang Xiaolong made a mistake near the midfield and was intercepted by the opponent, and the opponent attacked from the right. Svensson returned to the defense in time, but he put his energy on the side. A large no-man's land appeared in the middle. Although Wang Song and others returned to defense, they did not fill in the middle of the front of the penalty area in time. Reduce the space in time and allow Seoul to follow up with the ball and score from a long shot. A single midfielder, a Svensson is not enough."

"``````" Yan Feng constantly commented on the situation on the court with what he had learned.

In the final game, the R&F team lost to Seoul FC again with a goal at home. After this game, the situation of the R&F team in the AFC Champions League group has become a little delicate again.In the next two games, the R&F team must make sure not to lose, so as not to be robbed of the second position in the group.

Regarding the team's loss, Yan Feng didn't have much thought except for a little regret.But after watching the game, Yan Feng felt very satisfied, he was immersed in the excitement of being able to analyze the game situation.

And watching this game, Yan Feng felt that the biggest gain was that he understood from so many breakthrough failures on the court: mastering the ball inside is his future.

After that, Yan Feng firmly took internal control of the ball as his training standard.Control the ball within one stride of yours and you can control everything about the ball.

Next, Yan Feng flew to Yanbian with the team to prepare for the fourth round of the Chinese Super League match against Yanbian Fude.

Yanbian Fude is last year's champion Yanbian Changbaishan team.For this team, Yan Feng, who played against them, is quite familiar with it.The Yanbian team has not changed much in personnel this year, mainly because they have strengthened the introduction of offensive players, and the overall style has not changed.

For this game, Yan Feng is full of hope.He has played against his opponent and is familiar with his opponent's style.Yan Feng felt that he should have a chance to come off the bench this time.But the facts once again disappointed Yan Feng, and Stojkovic once again excluded him from the squad.Not only did he not give Yan Feng a chance, but he put Hou Junjie, who was not as good as him in the reserve team game, into the squad.This made Yan Feng feel very angry.

I was very upset, but I couldn't send my anger to the head coach.Therefore, in the reserve team game the next day, Yanbian Fude's reserve team players were miserable.Yan Feng vented all the backlog of anger in this game.

To say that he vented his anger on the field does not mean that Yan Feng will act recklessly.It's just that he kicked with a lot of energy in his heart, and he didn't want to die.Whether defensive or offensive, he tried his best.Struggle with body, speed, strength, and physical strength, Yan Feng did everything he could do.There was even a time when he frantically chased back into his own penalty area from the opponent's penalty area and tackled to destroy the opponent's offense.

With Yan Feng's relentless, even crazy dog-like hard work, the R&F team finally defeated the Yanbian team 3:0.After this game, the players on the Yanbian side complained endlessly, and many felt that they were about to fall apart.The Yanbian team, which has always been known for its hard work and physical strength, was a little timid today, and finally had a few cramps.Of course, part of the reason is that this is only the reserve team, and its strength and other aspects are definitely not as good as the first team.

"Yan Feng, you lunatic. This is just a reserve team match. Is it necessary to fight like this?" Xie Yuxin couldn't help but say to Yan Feng after the match was over.

"As long as it is a game, I want to do my best. It doesn't matter whether it is a reserve team game or other games." Yan Feng said, rubbing his thigh tiredly.Just after he got off the field, he had cramp.In this game, he will play desperately, just because he is holding back and needs to vent.Of course, you can't tell others this.

"Little lunatic. You still have to be more careful in the future. With your style of play, you are very easy to get injured." After Xie Yuxin finished speaking, he recalled that in this game, Yan Feng fought his injury to knock the opponent away and dived to head the ball. scene.It wasn't a fight for the top in the penalty area, it was just a fight in midfield.

"Well. I will pay attention to it in the future, thank you for your guidance." Yan Feng nodded and replied.Now that the game is over and I think about it calmly, I am indeed a little too impulsive in this game.At that time, there was only one idea in his mind, and that was to compete desperately and let everyone see his ability.Fortunately, I didn't get hurt because of this, and I didn't let others get hurt.

"You train well, play well in the reserve team games, you will have a chance. Don't be too impatient." Xie Yuxin thought for a while and said.He also understands the reason for Yan Feng's situation today.

"I see. Thank you. Thank you for your guidance." Yan Feng said gratefully.After really calming down, Yan Feng also found that he was too impatient.Unless everyone is recognized as a high-level player, no one can get a chance to play as soon as they arrive on the team.And thinking about it carefully, what I said to Lin Fan before can also be applied to myself.The situation of R&F and Evergrande this year is somewhat similar, but R&F's bench depth is much worse.In fact, my chances are still great.

I still have to calm down and endure loneliness!Yan Feng thought to himself.

"Hehe, speaking of it, during the time you have been in the team, you have made great progress. I saw how you got the ball off your feet in today's game. This is not bad. You know, when I played football, The new coach of the national team said that I am the King of Leaving Feet." Xie Yuxin said with a smile.In fact, Xie Yuxin is famous for his outstanding skills. It is said that when he was in the national team, a foreign teacher once said that he is the king of feet.

"Thank you for your praise." Yan Feng felt very happy when Xie Yuxin praised him for his rapid progress.No one can see your hard work.

"I'm serious. Although you are a defensive midfielder, you don't have much dribbling with the ball. But you can still see the ball is well controlled by you from the occasional possession. It feels like the ball seems to be in your hands It's under control." Xie Yuxin continued.

"Really? Haha, it seems that my training is quite effective." Yan Feng smiled even more happily.At the same time, he is even more convinced that the heavy ball training based on internal ball control is correct.

"You have to keep working hard. I believe you will get a chance soon." Xie Yuxin said with a smile.

"Thank you. I will work hard. Thank you for your guidance."

Xie Yuxin looked at the back of Yan Feng who was leaving with a smile, and said with a sigh: "Yan Feng, this little lunatic, has made amazing progress. I didn't think much of him at first, and thought he was too rough. Now it seems that I have some It's too arbitrary. Hmm~ Maybe, the first team should really consider giving him a try."
