Chapter 157 Bergkamp's stoppage

There is a proverb circulating in Yang Yang's hometown that even a thief must guard against food and grass for three days.

It means that even if you are a thief, you have to prepare food for the next three days in advance, so as not to steal things, and other industries need to plan ahead and prepare early.

His parents taught him this way since he was a child. Later, when he went to live in junior high school, he lived in school for as short as a week and as long as a month. He directly handed over the food expenses to Yang Yang and let him take care of it. This made him more independent and able to take care of affairs by himself.

Now, relying on [Ronaldo's assault] and [Beckham's cross] these two star skills, Yang Yang can gain a foothold in the Ajax first team, gain a firm foothold, and perform well, but he is also very clear that this is not because his strength has reached the level of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, but because the team needs players of his type.

This is also the reason why he has always listened to the advice of the super training ground Lao Bing in the past six months and specialized in two star skills.

But a lot of things tend to change and Ajax will change too.

The team has played well this season, will coach Ronald Koeman leave the team in the summer?If he leaves the team and gets a new coach, the team's style of play will change. Will Yang Yang still be able to gain a foothold in the first team like he is now?

Even if Ronald Koeman continues to stay in the team, with the departure of main generals such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, van der Vaart, and Trabelsi, will Ajax's tactics be adjusted?
Everything is constantly changing, and Yang Yang knows very well that he must take the initiative to adapt to the changes.

Only by making himself more comprehensive and his overall strength better can he calmly face the ever-changing professional football.

……

As Yang Yang and Lao Bing reached a consensus, many star lights and shadows soon appeared around the super training ground.

When it comes to stopping the ball, many stars have very strong stopping ability, but in the super training ground, after evaluation, the player with the strongest stopping ability is the legendary Dutch star Dennis Bergkamp currently playing for Arsenal.

Speaking of the star who made his debut from Ajax, according to Van Gaal, he was also like Yang Yang, practicing against the wall alone, day and night, honing his skills through hard training, and finally became the current Ice Prince.

Almost without hesitation, Yang Yang chose his third star skill, Bergkamp's stop.

As the light and shadow of the stars converged into a beam of light, it hit Yang Yang's forehead with lightning speed, and the wonderful moments of Bergkamp stopping the ball, like carefully edited game highlights, appeared clearly in Yang Yang's mind.

No matter how Yang Yang arbitrarily chooses a series of operations such as zooming in and slowing down, he can see everything clearly, as if Bergkamp demonstrated in front of him himself, which greatly shocked Yang Yang.

"It's amazing." Yang Yang was amazed.

Watching Bergkamp stop the ball at such a close distance is more shocking than watching Van der Vaart stop the ball on the sidelines just now.

"As you can see in all the pictures, [Bergkamp's stopping the ball] is not a stopping technique, but a game skill, a star skill." Lao Bing's iconic cold voice sounded beside Yang Yang's ear.

"Is there any difference?"

"There is a big difference." Lao Bing replied, "Stopping technique is a technical movement, which is the ability to use the body to complete the movement of stopping the ball. You have already learned it, haven't you?"

Yang Yang nodded, "What about the stopping skill?"

"The so-called stopping skill is a player's ability to choose the right stopping technique at the right time and place according to the needs of the game."

Yang Yang was a little confused. Aren't these two the same thing?

Aware of Yang Yang's distress, Lao Bing didn't hesitate, and gave a simple explanation.

"If we regard each stop of the ball in the game as a test, the feeling of the ball is a basic question, which can only take up to [-] points, and the stopping technique is an improvement question, which can take up about [-] points. But the judgment of the game situation and the way of the ball, as well as making the most appropriate stopping technique, this judgment is worth [-] points."

Yang Yang suddenly realized, "You mean, this [-] points is the stopping skill."

"That's right, it's not difficult at all to score well in the first [-] points. If you take the test now, you can get a perfect score, but your real problem lies in the last [-] points, and this is exactly the advantage of [Bergkamp's stoppage]."

After Lao Bing's explanation, Yang Yang immediately understood.

The reason why a star skill is a star skill is because it is a game skill, not a technology.

"My current problem is that once I am closely marked by my opponent during the game, or when the game is a little bit more intense, or my physical energy is exhausted to a certain extent, I will make mistakes in stopping the ball." Yang Yang pointed out his own problem.

In fact, this is nothing new. Not only Yang Yang himself, but also the coaching staff of Ajax are very clear, but the advice given by the coaching staff is not to worry, and continue to consolidate the basic skills. With more games, rich experience and accumulation, it will gradually get better.

"This is normal. Generally speaking, each player's learning of ball-stopping skills can be roughly divided into four processes, dazed, unstable, firm and reflexive."

"The so-called bewilderment means being at a loss. It means that the player cannot judge the direction and landing point of the ball when he stops the ball, and he does not know what action he should use to stop the ball; but gradually, he learns, and he begins to know how to stop the ball, but it is very weak. Once he is pressed and pressed, his movements will be out of shape immediately, or there will be a lot of unnecessary redundant movements, which will greatly reduce the effect of stopping the ball."

Yang Yang nodded vigorously, he was in this unstable stage.

"The so-called stability means that through further combination with actual combat and repeated practice, a stable judgment mechanism has been formed, so that one can stably make the most appropriate judgment when facing any kind of incoming ball, and go further on a solid basis. Through continuous practice and actual combat accumulation, it will eventually become a conditioned reflex of the player's body."

"In the fourth stage, no matter what kind of pass you are facing, no matter what kind of defense you are facing, you can easily and your body will naturally make the most appropriate judgment and use the most appropriate technical action to stop the ball."

When Yang Yang heard this, he really felt suddenly enlightened.

He saw Bergkamp on the court, as if strutting in a garden, stopping the difficult stops one by one with an extremely graceful and calm posture. He really felt like worshiping, but now listening to Lao Bing’s analysis, Bergkamp’s stopping has really reached its peak, and it has become an instinctive mechanism of his body.

"Generally speaking, amateur players are more in the first two stages, but there are also some who are relatively outstanding. Amateur players who have received formal youth training have entered the third stage, but for professional players, the third stage is already considered unqualified. The fourth stage is the level that a qualified professional player should possess."

Yang Yang couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he heard this, and coughed heavily, as if reminding Lao Bing to be more careful with his words.

As the saying goes, beating a person is not a slap in the face, is it appropriate to point at a monk and scold a bald man?

But the artificial intelligence seems to have no awareness of this aspect at all, and continued to say, "Although you are only 17 years old, you are still in the second stage. This is obviously unqualified, especially in the Champions League. Such a stop will easily make you fall into the opponent's marking."

Yang Yang smiled wryly, does it have to be so direct?

"Okay, I admit it, I'm not good at stopping the ball, just tell me, what should I do?"

"It's very simple, do two things well."

"Say it." Yang Yang became serious.

"First, analyze, carefully and in-depth analysis of every stopping action in [Bergkamp's stopping the ball], not only the action itself, but also the cause and effect; second, hard training, hard training close to actual combat."

Yang Yang understood that only hard training close to actual combat is meaningful to Yang Yang.

And the analysis is naturally to improve Yang Yang's judgment ability, so as to cope with everything that happens on the court.

"Not only that, but in the replay after each training and game, I will also add your stop replay. I will conduct a replay analysis of every stop of your foot to help you find out your own problems and make corrections."

Yang Yang nodded heavily, "Okay, let's start."

As soon as his words fell, a scene suddenly appeared in one of the stands of the super training ground when Bergkamp stopped the ball. The defensive player was behind him, and the entire stop of the Ice Prince looked very elegant and calm, with a sense of beauty.

"A truly high-level ball stop, every movement is a textbook." Lao Bing said lightly.

Yang Yang also didn't dare to be careless, and carefully studied the scene in front of him. He himself is also a player who has experienced many games and training, so he can easily see the clues from it.

"This is obviously a half-high ball, but Bergkamp's stop is still very standard. The sole of the foot and the calf are at a [-]-degree angle, and the inside of the foot is raised to catch the ball. If I guess correctly, after he stops the ball, the calf pulls down, and the whole person leans back obliquely, blocking the position with his body, so that the defensive players who come up to press and press have no chance to grab the ball, but he can calmly control the ball."

As soon as Yang Yang finished speaking, the screen was played.

Sure enough, after Bergkamp stopped the ball, he blocked the position with his body and blocked the defensive players who came up from the side and rear to press behind him, but the ball was in front of him. The defensive players could do nothing but watch him control the ball and pass it out.

Yang Yang guessed right, but he didn't feel much excitement.

He was watching with a cold eye, so he could see it, but Bergkamp made such a complicated judgment in that extremely short moment in the ever-changing game. This ability made Yang Yang far behind.

Even without Bergkamp, ​​Yang Yang was extremely impressed by the goal Van der Vaart scored just now.

But precisely because of this, Yang Yang's fighting spirit was even more aroused.

He is very clear that he has to improve his level of stopping as soon as possible, not just stopping the ball, but also a series of shortcomings such as passing and shooting. Only in this way can he improve his competitiveness and make himself more comprehensive and stronger.

Now, he is more than just a professional Ajax player.
