There is a proverb circulating in Yangyang's hometown that you should be careful of three-day food and grass when you are a thief.

What this means is that even if you are a thief, you have to prepare food for the next three days in advance to avoid not being able to steal things. Other industries need to prepare for the future and make preparations early.

From childhood to adulthood, his parents taught him this way. Later, he lived in junior high school, from a week to a month, and directly handed over the food expenses to Yang Yang and asked him to take care of it himself. This made him always more independent and able to manage his own affairs, and at the same time he developed a sense of crisis that would prepare for the future.

Now, with the two star skills of [Ronaldo's Assault] and [Beckham's Cross], Yang Yang can gain a foothold in the Ajax first team, gain a foothold, and perform well, but he is also very clear that this is not because his strength is already strong enough to the level of Ibrahimovic and Van der Fate, but because the team needs players of his type.

This is also the reason why he has always followed Lao Bing's advice from the super training ground and specialized in two star skills in the past six months.

But many things are often changing, and Ajax will also change.

The team played well this season. Will head coach Ronald Koeman leave the team in the summer? If he leaves the team and changes to a new coach, the team's playing style will change. Can Yang Yang still gain a foothold in the first team like he is now?

Even if Ronald Koeman continues to stay with the team, with the departure of major players such as Ibrahimovic, Van der Fate, and Trabelsey, will Ajax's tactical style be adjusted then?

Everything is always changing. Yang Yang knows very clearly that he must take the initiative to adapt to changes.

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

...

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, many stars have very strong stopping ability, but in the super training ground, after evaluation, the player with the strongest stopping ability is currently playing for Arsenal's legendary Dutch star Dennis Borgkamp.

Speaking of this star who debuted from Ajax, according to Van Gaal, he was like Yang Yang, who was practicing football against the wall alone, day and night, and polished his ball skills through hard practice, and finally became the Ice Prince today.

Yang Yang chose his third star skill almost without hesitation, Borgkamp's stop.

As the star's light and shadow gathered into a beam of lightning, it penetrated Yang Yang's forehead with lightning speed. The wonderful moments of Borgkamp stopping the ball came into Yang Yang's mind clearly like carefully edited highlights of the game.

No matter how Yang Yang chose to zoom in and slow release, he could see everything clearly without hesitation. It was as if Borgkamp was personally demonstrating in front of him, which shocked Yang Yang.

"It's so awesome." Yang Yang was amazed at the sight.

Watching Borgkamp's stop at such a close distance is more shocking than watching Vanderfate stop on the sidelines just now.

"As you see all the pictures, [Borgkamp's stopping] is not a stopping technique, but a game skill, a star skill." Lao Bing's signature cold voice rang beside Yang Yang's ears.

“Is there any difference?”

"The difference is very big." Lao Bing replied, "The stopping technique is a technical action, which is the ability to use your body to complete the stopping action. You have learned it, right?"

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

"The so-called stopping skills are the ability of a player to choose the correct stopping skills at the right time and place, and according to the needs of the game."

Yang Yang was a little confused when he heard this. Are these two not the same things?

When he noticed Yang Yang's distress, Lao Bing did not talk much and gave an easy-to-understand explanation.

"If we regard every stop in a game as an exam, the ball sense is the basic question, which only accounts for 20 at most, and the stopping technique is an improvement question, which can account for about 30. However, the judgment of the game situation and the ball path, as well as the best stopping technique, this judgment occupies 50."

Yang Yang suddenly realized, "What you mean is that this percentage is the stopping skill."

"Yes, it's not difficult to get the first 50. Now you can get the full score when you take the exam, but the real problem lies in the last 50, and this is exactly the advantage of [Borgkamp's stop]."

After Lao Bing explained this, Yang Yang immediately understood.

The reason why star skills are star skills is because it is a competition skill, not a technology.

"My problem now is that once I am closely guarded by my opponent during the game, or after the intensity of the game is slightly higher or the physical energy is consumed to a certain extent, I will make mistakes when I stop the ball." Yang Yang pointed out his problem.

In fact, this is not new. Not only Yang Yang himself, but Ajax's coaching staff are also very clear, but the advice given by the coaching staff is not to worry about it, and continue to consolidate basic skills. As the competition increases, experience becomes rich and accumulated, it will gradually get better.

"This is normal. Generally speaking, each player's learning of the stopping skills can be roughly divided into four processes: confusion, unstable, stable and reflexive."

"The so-called confusion means being at a loss. It means that the player cannot determine the direction and landing point of the ball when stopping the ball, and does not know what kind of action they should use to stop the ball; but gradually, he learned that he began to know how to stop the ball, but it was very unstable. Once he was pressed, he immediately moved away, or there were many unnecessary unnecessary movements, which led to a significant reduction in the effect of stopping the ball."

Yang Yang nodded vigorously, and he was in this unsolicited stage.

"The so-called stability means that by further combining actual combat and repeated practice, a stable judgment mechanism is formed, so that one can make the most appropriate judgment steadily when facing any incoming ball, and go further on the basis of stability. Through continuous practice and actual combat accumulation, it will eventually become a conditioned reflex for the player's body."

"In the fourth stage, no matter what kind of pass you are facing or what kind of defense you are facing, you can easily make the most appropriate judgments and use the most appropriate technical movements to stop the ball."

When Yang Yang heard this, he really felt a sudden realization.

He saw Bergkamp stopping the difficult stops in an extremely graceful and calm manner on the court. He really felt like he was worshipping him. But now after Lao Bing's analysis, Bergkamp's stopping has really reached its peak and has become an instinctive mechanism in his body.

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

After hearing this, Yang Yang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and coughed twice, as if reminding Lao Bing to pay attention to his words.

As the saying goes, "Is it appropriate to hit someone or not in the face, pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man?"

But artificial intelligence seems to have no awareness of this aspect at all, and still continues to say, "Although you are only seventeen years old, you are still in the second stage, which is obviously unqualified, especially in the Champions League, such a stoppage will easily cause you to be trapped in the opponent's defense."

Yang Yang smiled bitterly, would he have to be so direct?

"Well, I admit, my stop is bad, just tell me directly, what should I do?"

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

"You said." Yang Yang became serious.

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

Yang Yang understood that only hard practice that is close to actual combat will be meaningful to Yang Yang.

Analysis is naturally to improve Yang Yang's judgment ability in order to cope with everything that is happening rapidly on the court.

"Not only that, in the next training and review of the game, I will also add your stops and review of the ball. I will review and analyze each of your stops to help you find your own problems and correct them."

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

As soon as he finished speaking, a scene suddenly appeared on one side of the super training ground when Borgkamp stopped the ball. The defender was behind him, and the Ice Prince's entire stopping action looked very elegant and calm, with a sense of beauty.

"A truly high-level stopping, every move is a textbook." Lao Bing said lightly.

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

"This is obviously a half-high ball, but Borgkamp's stopping ball is still very standard, with the soles and calf at 90 degrees, and the inner side of the foot is raised to catch the ball. If I'm not wrong, after he stops the ball, his calf will pull down, and the whole person will lean toward the back, and use his body to block the position, so that the defender who comes up to press and press has no chance to grab the ball, but he can control the ball calmly."

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

Sure enough, after stopping the ball, Borgkamp stuck his position with his body, blocking the defender who came up from the back to press behind him, but the ball was in front of him. The defender was powerless and could only watch him control the ball and pass it out.

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

He was watching coldly, so he could see that, but Borgkamp made such a complex judgment in that extremely short moment in the ever-changing game, which made Yang Yang beyond the reach of this ability.

Even Borgkamp was not needed. The goal Van der Fate just scored was very impressive to Yang Yang.

But it is precisely because of this that Yang Yang's fighting spirit has even more aroused.

He is very clear that he must improve his stopping level as soon as possible, not only 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 no longer satisfied with becoming an Ajax professional player.
