Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 200 Biography
I went to New York excitedly, and returned to Germany with a slightly sad mood. It was already the third day of the holiday. Zhang Yuan, who was already sleeping like crazy on the plane, was not tired at all.

Hoffman sent Zhang Yuan home, and Zhang Yuan turned around and asked, "Is Joseph in class today?"

"Hey, buddy, today is Wednesday! You have been to the United States once, have you forgotten what day of the week it is?!" Hoffman was speechless.

"Oh, I really forgot, I still remember when I got on the plane today!" Zhang Yuan patted his head.

"Do you need me to send a message?"

"No, I originally planned to take him to practice today! There is no need for him to attend class, next time!"

"What a pity, Zhang Yuan, what do you think of Joseph?" Hoffman asked.

"Are you referring to him playing football?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Of course!"

"I think he's not bad, but I haven't seen his performance in the game, so it's hard to give a fair evaluation!" Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, Hoffman's meaning is very clear, I want to ask Can Zhang Yuan Joseph study football seriously? This means entering specialized football studies, such as the age echelon of Schalke 04.

"I want him to sign up for Schalke 04's youth echelon, what do you think of this idea!" Hoffman said his thoughts, "He likes playing football very much, and he has told me several times that I will Been hesitating and frankly I was worried he was going to get hurt!"

"Michael, do you want to hear my opinion?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Of course, would you like to offer some advice?"

"That's no problem. I think it's a good thing if Joseph is willing to go! Regardless of whether he can succeed in becoming a professional player in the end, it will definitely be good for his body, and it will not delay his studies. I don’t think there is any need to worry about the injury you mentioned, after all, he is playing in the youth echelon, and I don’t think the coaches will let them have fierce collisions on the field. You see, I rarely get injured!”

"Okay then, I'll go back and ask him to see what he thinks! Thank you for your opinion, Zhang Yuan!"

"Michael, you're welcome! Have a nice day then!"

"Hmm, I wish you a happy day too! Goodbye Zhang Yuan, call me if you need anything!"

After returning home and changing his clothes, Zhang Yuan decided to go to the training base to warm up today. On the way to the training base, he met a man, and this man was Draxler from the youth team.

Draxler was jogging on the road sweating with a football in his jersey. Doesn't he have class today?Schalke 04's youth echelon also only practice once a day, and there are cultural lessons to attend every day.

When Draxler approached, Zhang Yuan asked, "Julian, aren't you going to class today?!"

"Ah, Zhang! It's you!" Draxler didn't notice Zhang Yuan at all. When he found out, he was still a little confused and didn't know what was going on in his head.

"I……"

"Haha, you skipped class?!" Zhang Yuan laughed, feeling very interesting. He had a similar experience when he was studying before, skipping class and running to play football.

Draxler smiled a little embarrassedly, his fair face flushed.

"Haha, don't be embarrassed, I used to skip classes too!" Zhang Yuan didn't know that Draxler's skipping classes would have much more serious consequences than his previous skipping classes. He would call his parents, and even be expelled from Schalke 04 if he refused to mend his ways after repeated admonitions.

"Really?! You skipped class before? Why did you go?" Draxler asked curiously.

"I went to the training base to practice! I used to skip class to practice!" Zhang Yuan replied.

Draxler rolled his eyes, "Can I practice with you?"

Zhang Yuan looked at Draxler covered in sweat, he must have practiced, but Draxler's eyes seemed to be looking forward to, this Zhang Yuan can also understand, when he was able to train him with the superstars of the Inter Milan first team. Am looking forward to.

"Okay, but I have a request, just this one time, next time you can't skip class again! Because I'm also studying hard now, and I still want to go to university! It's scary to be uneducated!" Zhang Yuan agreed. .

"Oh yeah, no problem, I'll skip this one time, listen to you, don't skip class, and be a good student!" Draxler said excitedly.

In Zhang Yuan's opinion, the 15-year-old Draxler is much better than he was at that time. He has a strong sense of teamwork. His speed cannot be compared with his own, but it is fast enough, and his fancy moves are not as good as his own. , but the breakthrough ability is still very strong.

Speed ​​and fancy movements are not the only measure of breakthrough ability, and Draxler has done a good job of getting rid of it on the spot.

These are the results that Zhang Yuan saw after his last match with the youth team.

"Zhang, what do you think of me?" Draxler was still a little proud of stopping the ball. After all, he is a recognized genius among a group of teenagers.

"Well, you are much better than me at that time!" Zhang Yuan pulled the ball casually, made a few fancy moves, caught the ball around with one leg, stopped the ball with his ankle, etc. Draxler was dumbfounded. .

"Zhang, how did you do it?" Draxler asked, itching in his heart, fancy moves are always eye-catching.

"Well, don't call me Zhang! Call me Zhang Yuan, okay?" Zhang Yuan said, "These movements are useless on the football field, but they are good for exercising the flexibility of the body and developing the sense of the ball! "

Zhang Yuan also spent a lot of time practicing these fancy moves at the beginning, for the purpose of looking good. At that time, he didn't know the benefits of this to the cultivation of body flexibility and ball feel. Later, he learned about these reasons after reading online.

"You are amazing!" Draxler gave a thumbs up, "Can you teach me these moves?"

"Of course there is no problem, but you have to remember what I said, these fancy moves on the court are not very practical!" Zhang Yuan said.

The practice of two people turned into freestyle football teaching, and Draxler was really good and quickly learned a few tricks.

Sitting on the grass to rest, Draxler asked again: "Zhang Yuan, you always score so many goals! Can you tell me how you do it?"

How to answer this question, Zhang Yuan really doesn’t know how to say it, Digan called him the Iron King, which means he shoots more shots in every game, Zhang Yuan is embarrassed to tell Draxler that he gets more shots , The base is large, so there are more goals.

"I don't know about this either!" Zhang Yuan shook his head, "But I can give you some advice, professional football advice, these ideas are just what I thought of."

Draxler sat upright and listened carefully to Zhang Yuan's opinion.

"Team awareness is very important, but I don't think it should be too rigid. If you think about it, you follow the coach's tactical arrangements without any degree of freedom. Soon you will be found out by others and you will be able to defend with ease. The space is relatively small! Your last game was a bit rigid, and you didn't give full play to your advantages!"

"Huh?!" The football training that Draxler received is like this. At their age, the coach is already focusing on teamwork with them, and in training, he is suppressing the autonomy of geniuses like Draxler.

The coach does not really want to suppress the freedom of the players, but at this age should forcibly instill a sense of teamwork in young players, because football is a team sport, and the role of one person is very limited.

When the players really go professional, the head coach will give the players a certain degree of freedom.

What Zhang Yuan said was obviously different from what Draxler accepted, so he was a little puzzled and said "Huh?!"

"Let me explain, I thought of one thing, have you ever heard of the man-machine war in chess?"

Draxler shook his head.

"Well, let me put it simply, it's a chess match between a human and a computer. Guess who will win?"

"Computer! How can the human brain compare with a computer!" Draxler said his answer.

"Well, okay! You guessed it right! The computer won, but I always feel that there must be a human brain in the world that can defeat the computer! The imagination of the human brain is infinite, but the computer has no imagination. It's the procedure step by step!"

"Okay, Zhang Yuan, I don't know what you say this has to do with football games?" Draxler was not very patient.

"Of course it matters. If a team plays like a machine, it's not easy for them to figure out your routine and restrict you everywhere! How can you win the game!"

"But football is a team sport!"

"I know it's a team sport, but you need to play a little bit differently and make it difficult for others to understand your thoughts, then you can help the team! For example, when to pass, when to break, when to Shooting, it’s all about suddenness! This way the threat will definitely be greater, don’t you think?”
