Section 29 Self-adjustment

After returning to Ajaccio, Zhao Yaning once again devoted himself to football. Every day during the day, he practiced with the team. At night, he took out his glasses and learned free kick skills from Juninho in the system world, and lived a very fulfilling life.

The measurement data in the system showed that his physical strength and strength had improved slightly. With his unremitting efforts, the free kick technique has also improved by one point, reaching 12.

This speed of progress made Zhao Yaning very satisfied. He believed that if he persisted, he would definitely make progress.

This situation continued until the end of July, and the league finally kicked off.

Ajaccio's opponent in the first game was Nancy. Nancy was once a strong team in Ligue 1 and had a team with Platini in history. However, now he has declined and can only struggle hard in the second division.

But for Zhao Yaning, this game is of great significance. This is his first official professional game, and in this game, he also got the starting position.

But the game was not going well. Not long after the opening, Ajaccio was broken through by Nancy.

This made Zhao Yaning, who started in the official game for the first time, a little confused.

Why did you concede the goal so quickly at home?

"Don't be stunned, it's just a goal lost." Rejeraji greeted him and ran over at the same time. "You try to move forward without retreating so deeply. You are a little nervous, don't care. The responsibility for losing the goal is not yours. Your task is not defense, and you don't have to withdraw every time the opponent attacks."

Zhao Yaning nodded, but even so, when the next ball started to overtake half the game, he still subconsciously wanted to go back.

"It's not the way he plays when he is training." Assistant coach Bjotta said with some dissatisfaction off the court.

"My psychological quality is not good enough, and when you are nervous, you will bring out all the bad habits you have developed since childhood." Kubis felt that it was normal. "I am still young, so there must be such problems. Don't worry too much, let him slow down. If you can't adjust, then talk about it."

Bjota thought for a while and didn't bother him anymore, "He plays so strangely. Others want to run forward when they play football. He hopes that he will score a goal, but he likes to shrink back."

"The players from small countries all have this problem. After finally getting a star, the team is not very strong. So, isn't they trying their best to grab him a stronger point? They want to score goals in the frontcourt, sort out midfield, and make quick breakthroughs, and all the defenses in the backcourt are done by one person. Over time, the players must have developed this problem. Teammates want to get into it all the way."

Bjota frowned and shook his head after a while. "I think his biggest problem is that he doesn't trust his teammates. He can't believe his teammates can deliver the ball to his feet."

"It's not that there is no reason for this. The teammates in the past were very different, and passing could not guarantee quality, so they could only rely on large withdrawals to catch the ball. Anyway, in the past, they were able to pass the opponent even if they retreated twenty or thirty meters, so they naturally had this habit."

"What should I do?" Bjortta continued to ask.

"Wait a little longer. Don't be so anxious. I want to see if he can learn to adjust himself. We have seen his technical characteristics many times, but we have to look at the tactical awareness."

"After practicing the skills, there is almost no problem with tactical awareness."

Bjota mumbled. Kubis smiled and stopped talking to him.

French coaches always believe that the focus of players' training is personal technical ability, and even extremes believe that cultivating players' tactical awareness when players are young, ignoring the players' personal ability is an irresponsible approach to players.

Bjotta has a strong idea in this regard. Before he became an assistant coach for Kubis, he was always in charge of youth training. He was still a little uncomfortable with the coaching philosophy of some adult teams.

While they were talking in the coaching seat, Zhao Yaning was also considering his own problems.

He did not have the experience of Kubis and could not realize his problem in time. Although he vaguely realized his playing style, there must be some problems, but what is the specific problem? Zhao Yaning really couldn't figure it out.

All he can do now is to try to retreat as little as possible according to what Reerraji said. But in this way, he felt that he was too far away from the ball and could not contribute much strength, and he was a little anxious.

Therefore, what he can do is to constantly adjust his position and try his suitable position back and forth.

"Did you see that you have a change of your consciousness? You are not a fool who just acts recklessly. This is crucial for the growth of players. If you are stupid and don't know what changes are, and just stick to your own way of playing, it is hopeless."

Kubis nodded with some relief.

"But obviously no place was found. Have you asked him to come and give me some advice?"

"No need. Let him find it by himself. If he can find the position, he can also have the ability to adjust himself in the future. If he is asked to come over, it will be solved now. If the tactics change in the future, he will still play a mess."

Kubis rejected the idea, but stood up and walked to the sidelines. But he called over, indeed, the team's captain Colin, "Eric, pass the ball to Joey a few more times, so that he can participate in the offense more."

"But the opportunity is not very good. The opponent's defense has not relaxed yet. Now I give him the ball and let him attack, so there is no chance."

"It's okay, listen to me. He is still young and can't contribute his strength now, so he will lose confidence. Let him take the ball a few more times and see what he can do."

After Kubis finished speaking, he returned to the bench himself. Colin returned to the court and called out a companion and prepared to attack.

"Can we still waste opportunities when we are behind now?" Bjotta said in confusion.

"The opponent is Nancy. Although they are not strong, they are old teams after all. The team has good psychological qualities. If we keep staying behind and waiting for their lineup to be in chaos, we might have to wait for a long time. Now we are behind and can't wait, so we might as well disrupt the opponent's defense line."

"Use his speed and technical advantages, right?" Bjotta nodded, "But, he will be targeted by his opponent very quickly."

“We don’t have only one way to go.”

Kubis was very confident. On the court, Zhao Yaning also found that the team started attacking, and it was obviously coming from the left side.

This made him a little excited.

Leireraji got the ball and ran forward against the sideline. Zhao Yaning immediately followed. Leireraji didn't run a few steps, but passed the ball to Zhao Yaning. Zhao Yaning accelerated and rushed towards the sideline, while Leireraji missed the position in the middle penalty area.

The opponent's full-back rushed over immediately, stuck Zhao Yaning's inward cut position, and then approached Zhao Yaning, trying to stop him from making further breakthroughs. However, Zhao Yaning waited for him to approach, stopped suddenly, pulled the ball with his right foot and turned around, took a step towards the middle, raised his head and tried to make a cross.

But the defender who was already blocked by him suddenly squeezed his strength against him. He was hit and slipped down to the ground.

The ball was cut off by the opponent. Zhao Yaning raised his head, but he didn't hear the whistle for a long time. He had to curse and ran back.

This action is indeed not an excessive action, it should be considered a reasonable range of confrontation. It's just that the opponent is a black man, with great strength, strong body, and full of explosive power. Although it is a very close force, it is still enough to make Zhao Yaning, who is thin, lose balance.

Zhao Yaning also knew a little clearly that he fell down and was suspected of cheating and fouling. He was able to maintain balance just now, but because the ball rights had been lost, he fell instantly.

But it seems that the whistle is very loose. However, knowing this will not be helpless for the next move.

After receiving this ball, although he still failed in the action, Zhao Yaning felt that his confidence increased greatly.

With the ball under my feet, it feels different immediately.

"As long as he can pass it to his feet a few times, he will be able to build trust in his teammates. This problem is easy to solve."

"Are you supposed to adjust your tactics? He is suddenly very powerful now, but he seems to be staring at by his opponent." Bjotta said with some concern as he looked at the situation on the field.

"See if he can adjust himself, don't worry."

Soon, Zhao Yaning got another chance. This time, the opponent's midfielder rushed over immediately. Zhao Yaning raised his head and saw that the full-back was already preparing to get a position there. He knocked the ball and ran towards the middle.

Cut in? The opponent's full-back immediately followed. When Zhao Yaning saw his movements, he immediately slowed down his speed and made a move to pass the ball to Lacombe on the other side. Nancy's full-back immediately leaned on and prepared to use the same trick again to affect Zhao Yaning's pass.

Fake action, pull the ball, hit the heel, turn around, and pass the ball.

Zhao Yaning suddenly pulled the ball back, pulled the ball behind his right foot, and passed it from behind the opponent to the side. However, he himself made the left leg as a shaft, thinking of turning around on the left, passing the opponent, and running to the side.

Then, while the opponent had not had time to block him, he directly passed the ball to the middle after touching the ball.

Rodriguez had already run forward, and the ball fell smoothly at his feet, but the opponent's defender had already stuck in the position, so he could only turn his back and pass the ball back to Fadina behind him.

Fadina had no choice but to pass the ball to Lacombe on the wing.

After receiving the ball, Lacombe directly chose to cross from the bottom. Zhao Yaning also started running forward at this time.

He kicked and made a cross. Lacombe made an emergency stop and passed the ball to the middle.

But the opponent's defender had already stuck his position and headed the ball towards the frontcourt.

But Zhao Yaning had arrived. He was very close to the ball, and he didn't have time to think about it. He adjusted one step and suddenly shot a long shot!

The long-range shot is good, and Zhao Yaning rarely can play such a powerful ball, and he also feels that the touch point and the direction of the ball are good, which can be regarded as a high-quality shot.

It's just a pity that this shot seemed too straight, and although it was right, the opponent's goalkeeper rushed out.

But Fadina grabbed this and threw the ball towards the goal with one kick!

"goal!!!!"
