"When you reach my age, you will be able to easily guess the thoughts of a seventeen-year-old player who has just debuted. This has nothing to do with whether you do well or not."
Cruise laughed and attributed the problem to experience.
After seeing Su Dong's questioning look, he further explained the problem.
Cruz is only 1.82 meters tall. He is actually shorter than Su Dong and his legs are not long enough. This may seem like a disadvantage, but in fact it is not because he is left-footed and has excellent physical fitness.
Strong resistance.
Defending a rookie like Su Dong is actually not difficult, especially for an experienced veteran like Cruz.
He was able to see the path of the ball one step earlier than Su Dong, predict the situation, and defend first.
Even if Su Dong does get the ball, it doesn't matter. His physical strength is superior to Su Dong's in confrontation. He can press behind him and use various small movements to harass and influence Su Dong.
"You know, you are a right-footed player and your left foot ability is quite bad. Although I can see that you have been working hard to train your left foot, it is still not enough. You are more confident and confident in your right foot.
Grasp it, so you use it habitually.”
"When I'm defending you, I will use various methods to press you, to abduct you, and even directly open the gap to let you use your right foot, and I am a left-footed player, as long as you want to turn around,
Even if you turn to the right, I can hold it."
After Su Dong heard this, he thought about it carefully and found that this was really the case.
It turns out that many of the opportunities he took for granted were actually gaps intentionally created by Cruise.
This also explains why he can't take advantage of Cruise every time.
After realizing this, Su Dong felt very depressed and had a sense of defeat.
"Don't be like this, you are only seventeen years old." Cruise looked at Su Dong and said with a smile, "Actually, you have already done much better than most of your peers, even better than some in their 20s.
All centers around the age of 10 should be good."
Su Dong spread his hands helplessly, "But I still can't beat you, even once."
Cruise smiled again, he quite liked the young man in front of him.
It was nothing at first, but after a month of getting along and confronting him, he discovered that Su Dong had actually been making progress.
Especially when he stood in the present moment, looking back and comparing Su Dong when he first joined a month ago, Cruz had to admit that the progress was indeed quite big.
Trying to close the gap in just one month is tantamount to wishful thinking.
But having dreams is a good thing.
"Actually, I noticed that your nickname is Little God of War. Your powerful shooting really has the shadow of Batistuta. I have competed with him many times in Serie A. It is really similar and has that flavor.
"
"Besides, I think your movement is very smart and your sense of the situation is very keen. Many times I actually thought I could block you, but in the end you always ran out of the way that I didn't expect.
, and then receiving the pass, which made me uncomfortable when I was defending."
"In addition, your height should be more than 1.9 meters now, your foot skills are very solid, and your awareness of passing and receiving is strong. All of these are your advantages. You should maintain and continue to improve them."
"What about the shortcomings?" Su Dong asked with concern.
There is no one who knows him better than his opponent. Su Dong really wants to know, what does Cruise think of him?
"Your shortcomings are also obvious. Of course, I have to remind you that all young players are like this. The advantages and disadvantages are obvious. You are like this, so is Ronnie, so are Quaresma and Viana.
In this way, it's just that some young players have given full play to their own advantages in the right situation and under the right tactical framework."
Su Dong understood this.
"You have an advantage in height, but you are thin and lack strength. Whether it is upper body strength, waist and abdominal strength, or lower body strength, you have to strengthen it, because without excellent physical strength, you cannot carry the defender.
If you cannot hold back defenders, your tactical effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and even the threat inside and outside the penalty area will be greatly reduced."
When Cruz said he couldn't hold it, he didn't just mean that he would be squeezed out of position. More often, he used his body to block the defender, but during the physical struggle, his technical movements were out of shape, resulting in him being unable to get the ball.
Stable transmission is not accurate.
Su Dong himself felt this way, especially when facing Cruise.
"You are very fast, which is a very obvious advantage, but it can only work when you have space, which is not enough. As a center, you must have the ability to hold down the opponent's dense defense.
Only with the ability to catch the ball, pass the ball, and turn around can he be considered a qualified center."
When Cruz said this, he saw Su Dong's thoughtful eyes and knew that the other party had indeed listened to his words. He felt happy and couldn't help but ask again: "You should know Kluivert, right?"
"
"Of course, the Netherlands is the center forward." Su Dong blurted back.
"We both entered AC Milan in the same year, but the difference is that he was regarded as a prince competing with Ronaldo, but no one thought that he would leave miserably after a year. This is not because of his lack of ability, but because of his lack of ability.
Because there were too many problems in the Milan locker room at that time, he was the strongest center I had ever seen and experienced, even scarier than Vieri."
Su Dong was a little surprised. He didn't expect Cruise to speak so highly of Kluivert.
You know, after experiencing the misfortune of Milan, Kluivert is no longer what he used to be. Even if he performed well in Barcelona, he failed to regain the development momentum of the year.
"Did you know? Centers or players on the field can generally be divided into two categories. One is core players and the other is role players. As the name suggests, core players are the core of the team's offense, organization or defense.
, the team will build the lineup and arrange tactics around him, and the role players are the supporting roles around the core players."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "For example, the current three major centers in the Netherlands are Kluivert, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Roy Mackay. In my opinion, Kluivert is the core player.
, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Roy Mackay are role players, so even if Van Nistelrooy and Mackay score more goals, Kluivert is still the main striker of the Dutch national team."
"You may not even notice that fans are more likely to remember core players, while role players, no matter how well they perform or score more goals, are often not as good as core players. The reason is very simple. Role players are centered around the core players.
It’s turning.”
Su Dong was filled with wonder when he heard this.
He never expected that Cruise would say so many earth-shattering words to him. These were things he had never thought of before and no one had ever told him.
Is this true?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that it is indeed the case.
Even though his performance at AC Milan was sluggish, Barcelona was still willing to spend a lot of money on Kluivert and entrust him with important tasks. This was not only because of Van Gaal, but also because they valued Kluivert's value.
"As a center forward, Kluivert has outstanding physical fitness. His skills in taking the ball with his back and turning around are impeccable. He can not only drop back to meet the midfielder, but also pull out to cooperate with the wings. He can also play in positional battles.
It can play a role and may effectively impact the opponent's defense during counterattack."
"The only thing he is slightly worse at is scoring, but you may not know that his scoring efficiency is 0.4 per game. Although this number is lost to killers such as Van Nistelrooy, it is quite high compared to other scorers.
Already."
"Believe me, I have trained with him for a year, and I know that he is an almost perfect center."
Su Dong could tell that Cruise really admired Kluivert, even admired him.
"Any team that acquires Kluivert only needs to equip him with a good enough partner and organize tactics around him to maximize his role and power. He is the core of the team's offensive end."
When he said this, Cruise looked at Su Dong deeply.
"Su, I think you should learn from Kluivert. You are taller than him and faster than him. I even think that your running ability, your insight into the situation, and your sense of timing,
You are much better than Kluivert, these are your advantages, and you should strive to grow into a comprehensive core player like Kluivert."
"If you want to be a core center, you need to do more and better than a scoring center, because you not only need to score goals, you also need to do more and exert more important tactical value, but you
The rewards you get will be greater.”
Su Dong didn't expect that when he chatted with Cruise, he originally just wanted to hear some comments from his opponents, but he didn't expect that Cruise would give him such a big shock.
Am I like Kluivert?
"Andrei, are you too confident in me?" Su Dong smiled bitterly.
"No, no, no, Su, of course you are far from as good as Kluivert now. Your left foot is too bad. You must make your left foot as skillful as your right foot. Your kicking is not reasonable enough. You
There are still many problems with picking up the ball behind the back and turning around to get rid of it..."
"All in all, there is still a big gap between you and Kluivert in many, many aspects, but you are only seventeen years old, and you still have a lot of room for growth. Your speed and flexibility are better than him, which ensures that you
He's better than Kluivert when fighting alone because he rarely does it alone."
"Physical strength, tactical fulcrum and coordination abilities can be gradually cultivated. You still have plenty of time to work hard to improve yourself. The premise is that you should find a direction for your efforts and don't just regard yourself as
A role player who is responsible for scoring, that would be a shame."
Su Dong was deeply immersed in Cruise's words.
The Brazilian central defender's expectations and encouragement gave him a huge shock, and he was also slightly excited.
When he saw the determination in Cruise's eyes, he couldn't help but ask himself.
