Vol 2 Chapter 37: The crux of the problem

After a day of training, Mark really stayed alone on the training ground for a shot training, and Zhou Yi did not leave the gym after strength training, but was doing his physical training.
Both teenagers are working hard for their dreams.
However, Zhou Yi was thinking about Mark's problems when he was doing endurance training on a treadmill.
Improving your ability is the foundation of the team, but it takes too long to do so. After all, it is not something that can be achieved overnight if you want to improve technology.
Is there any way to improve performance in a short time so that Mark can play in U19?
Zhou Yi thought hard.
But until the end of training, he didn't think of any way.
On the way home, Mark's mood is obviously much higher than yesterday. After half an hour of shooting training, he feels that he has found the right direction of effort, so just continue to work hard.
He suddenly had confidence in his future.
But Zhou Yi was not as optimistic as Mark.
When sleeping at night, Zhou Yi entered the virtual world. When he and his virtual U19 teammates started training, his eyes were fixed on Mark. He was observing Mark, hoping to see something from the observation. Something coming.
After only a moment of watching, he suddenly lit up and realized the problem!
In fact, he has seen this problem before, but he has always ignored it, because in terms of his playing style, he is somewhat similar to Mark, so he did not take this issue seriously.
Until now, when he was thinking hard about how to make Mark perform well, he realized that this may be the root reason why Mark did not perform well in training.
But he still needs to verify. So he began to give Mark various passes in training.
Some of the are passed to those obvious empty spots. Mark will appear in the empty spots very timely. After receiving the ball, he is almost unmarked. He shoots and scores.
But sometimes, when the space is not so big, Zhou Yi will also pass the football. This kind of ball needs Mark and the opponent's defender to fight each other. Mark's success rate of taking the ball plummets. Some of the he didn't even pick up at all, because he felt he couldn't catch it.
※※※
The next day, in the dressing room, while changing clothes to go out for training, Zhou Yi pretended to ask Mark casually: "Mark, I found that you like to avoid playing with a defender?"
Mark nodded: "Well, after all, I'm not a strong striker like Schneider. If I go to play with the defender, I won't have the upper hand. I have to be strong and avoid shortcomings?"
"Then Mark, I think I know why you are not as good as when I was present without me." Zhou Yi said.
Mark Wenyan looked up and looked at Zhou Yi, a little surprised and a little urgent: "Why?"
"Well, the reason is that you love to avoid the defender when you play football. In fact, I also love to avoid the defensive players when I play football. I always choose to catch the ball at the intersection of several defensive areas. And rarely face the direct defense of the opponent. For the same reason as you, my body is not strong enough. If I directly confront the opponent, I can’t even hold the ball. So I’m doing strength training now to make up for this shortcoming. It’s okay. But now I’m playing like this because I’m a midfielder. There is a large area on the football field where I can move. I can always find an empty reception. But you can’t.

Zhou Yi began to analyze Mark.
"You are a striker, you can of course withdraw the ball, but when deciding whether you can score, your active area is basically concentrated in the opponent's 30m area, even in the restricted area. There is a small space, personnel It’s dense and there isn’t much space for you to catch the ball comfortably. If you still have the consciousness to distance yourself from the guards and avoid playing with them, then you will have less chance to get the ball..."
"Zhou Yi is right."
Suddenly a voice beside him sounded awkwardly, which surprised both Zhou Yi and Mark.
When they looked back, they realized that it was Goetze!
Seeing both of them turn their heads to look at themselves, Goetze quickly apologized: "Did I bother you?"
"Not at all." Zhou Yi shook his head. "You see it too?"
Gotze nodded and sat down to Mark simply, "Mark, your problem is that you seem to be a bit afraid to make physical contact with the guard. In fact, although your body is not particularly strong, it is not as weak as Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes: "Hey, who is weak can't help the wind!"
Goetze ignored Zhou Yi and continued to look at Mark and said, "You are almost 1.8 meters away now?"
"One meter seven or eight." Mark said.
"Well, in terms of height, you are also taller than Zhou Yi..."
"Hey! Do you mean to say I'm short?" After talking about his weight and talking about his height, Zhou Yi completely became the backing. Zhou Yi couldn't bear it any more. He stood in front of Goetze with his head upright, half a head taller than Goetze.
"I'm talking about Mark's height being higher than you, Zhou Yi, not me. Of course I'm not as tall as you." Goetze said. "Don't compare with me, you stand next to Mark?"
"Are you stupid?" Zhou Yi snorted and continued to stand still next to Goetze unmoved.
Goetze ignored him and continued to say to Mark: "So your own conditions are not as bad as you think. Of course, you can't be a forward like Schneider who can directly back up a singles guard. But it can't be like this now. Hide when you see the defender. You must know that not everyone will pass you the care like Zhou Yi, care for you, and pass to make you feel comfortable. More often, you have to be in a bad In the environment, compete with the opposing defender for the right to play. If you avoid them, how do you play?"
After Getzer finished, Mark was in deep thought.
It is indeed his habit to play football without the defender. It has been cultivated since childhood. In the final analysis, this is a psychological fear. He is afraid of being in physical contact with the defender, because then he will not get the ball...
But how many people can find the space exactly like Zhou Yi, and then pass the football to himself?
And Zhou Yi is not just looking for free time. In the game, he will create some free time through his running position and passing.
How many others have this kind of patience?
Mark's position is not very good, and when the time is not obvious, then he will not pass the football to Mark.
Over time, Mark couldn't even get the ball on the court, and naturally became a substitute, and a substitute.
"So if you want to be able to get a chance to play and have a good performance after playing, you have to change this habit and dare to physically fight against the guard." Goetze said.
Zhou Yi nodded to the side: "Yes, it doesn't matter if you drop. If you can fall in the penalty area, will there be a penalty?"
"That's a fake fall!" Goetze hurriedly opposed.
"Why is it a fake fall? Mark is a real fall! Is there any problem with Mark's small body against a person's fall?" Zhou Yi said very seriously.
When Mark heard Zhou Yi say this, his face also clearly showed a fantasy expression.
Goetze waved quickly, dispelling Mark's illusion that he fell and got a penalty in the penalty area: "Don't listen to Zhou Yi talking nonsense. If the opponent does not raise his arm, it is a reasonable collision. How many circles do you fall in the penalty area, nobody It’s up to you to invite yourself a yellow card."
Zhou Yi made a grimace, and Mark realized that Zhou Yi was talking nonsense just now.
※※※
In the offensive combination training, Zhou Yi can see that his and Geze's words still played a role. Mark obviously has the consciousness to find a defensive player for physical confrontation, instead of deliberately staying away from the defensive player as before, hoping to hide directly from the court.
Of course, the effect at the beginning was very bad. Mark always fell to the ground when he was fighting for the latter's possession with the opposing defender.
Even the head coach Yebara couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Mark: "Did you not eat breakfast? Why do you always wrestle?"
"Mark, you fell again. Are you wearing the wrong shoes? Is our turf slippery!"
...
In the face of the head coach's scolding, Mark always accepted it silently with his head down, but when the training continued, he started his own business and insisted on that set, constantly fighting against the defender, and then fell to the ground without suspense...
Seeing this look of Mark, Schneider's face was full of contemptuous expression, would he still sneer?
But he didn't ridicule Mark directly anymore, because he didn't want to be rushed off the training ground by the head coach... that was too shameful!
After a training class, Mark's jersey and training vest all changed color, covered with grass scraps and mud, and looked like a mud monkey.
But Mark himself was quite happy. After coming down, he said to Zhou Yi: "How is it? Am I particularly brave!"
Zhou Yi nodded looking at the blue and purple pieces on Mark's body: "It's very brave, but also very brainless."
"Ah?" Mark didn't expect Zhou Yi to say so. Shouldn't he praise himself at this time?
Zhou Yi spread his hands: "So your sister always looks down on athletes and thinks that athletes are brainless idiots. I think most of them are related to you... courage is commendable, but training and promotion must also have the correct means and methods~EbookFREE.me~ It’s useless except you hurt yourself. You have to fight against the defender. You have to have the right way to fight. Isn’t it? At least you need to strengthen your strength training? I just followed this time. Coach Wangler has some experience in practicing strength. I think you don’t need to practice shooting after training. You come to the gym. I teach you to practice strength, especially upper limb strength, which can strengthen your ability to fight. Don’t you think I Has the physical confrontation during this period been better than before?"
Mark thought about it and nodded: "It seems to be better..."
"So you see, my body can be improved, not to mention you. Playing football is actually a movement that requires a brain, and mastering the correct method is much better than using your brute force." Zhou Yi said.
Mark is sincerely convinced of Zhou Yi. He thinks Zhou Yi knows a lot and his level is high.
He nodded again and again: "I listen to you, Zhou Yi!"
"Then let's work together!" Zhou Yi patted Mark on the shoulder.
"Okay, work hard together!"
