Chapter 446: Third-rate striker
It turned out that Bergkamp was training by Liu Hao's side, and now there is one more Henry. Liu Hao is actually the happiest person. What player in the world can be coached by both Bergkamp and Thierry Henry?
However, Bergkamp and Henry are two different strikers, and when the two of them coached Liu Hao together, it made Liu Hao uncomfortable. Bergkamp's words are more tactful and his style is more low-key, while Henry's words are more direct and his style is more high-key. At this time, when he commented on Liu Hao, he had some disputes with Bergkamp.
After Liu Hao left the training ground, Henry said bluntly in front of Bergkamp: "I don't think it's feasible at all, Liu's foundation is like this, it's impossible for him to become a first-class striker!" This is so unscientific. ”
Henry fully agrees with Liu Hao's free kick ability and respects him enough, but he really doesn't dare to compliment Liu Hao's foot skills, obviously it is a very amateur level, how can it be improved to meet the level of the Premier League? It was a very kind and good thing for him to promise the professor to guide Liu Hao, but when he really came into contact with Liu Hao, he found that the difficulty was ridiculously great, and in the end he came to the conclusion that marriage was an impossible task.
Thierry...... I remember neither the professor nor we said that we had to turn him into a first-class striker in the Premier League, right? How can we possibly turn Jean to the level of Aguero, Falcao, Rooney? Bergkamp smiled, not angry at Henry's complaint, but pulled him to sit down, ready to analyze it with him. He is a few years older than Henry, and he is also an old partner for many years, although his achievements at Arsenal are not as high as Henry's, but his views on many things are much wider than Henry's.
"Huh?" Hearing Big Brother say this, Henry's feelings calmed down a little, "Daniel, it's my heart that is a little anxious, and I'm also worried about the future of Arsenal." It's so nervous, and it's a little hard to hear. ”
"Aguero, Falcao, Costa, these in the Premier League, are super-first-class first-class strikers, the older Rooney, Van Persie and others are first-class strikers, Walcott and Balotelli are second-rate strikers, these three levels of strikers have been excluded, what we need to do now is to train Liu as a third-rate striker."
"A third-rate striker?" Henry was stunned, what should a third-rate striker look like? The ball is unstable, the shot hits the plane, and the breakthrough is like a track and field. Passing the ball to find a third point? He used to be a super-first-rate striker, and he didn't match up with a third-rate striker at all.
"A third-rate striker is naturally one of those guys who can score five or six goals in a season and play the whole game......"
Five or six balls...... Listening to this number, Henry's brow furrowed even deeper, "Do Arsenal need strikers like this?" ”
"Of course you need to, if Liu can score five or six goals a season when he comes on as a substitute, then it's definitely a pretty good substitute, which is just his number as a third-rate striker, and if you add his free kicks and assists, it's actually a lot of money."
"Okay. You go on to say......"
"Actively shooting, pulling the guard, passing the ball, of which pulling the defense of this point Liu has done quite well, the difficulty is in the shooting and passing, of course. Not to mention the defense, if Liu is on the field, he will definitely be targeted by the opponent, and what we need to do now is how to get him out of defense. Seriously, I've been training him in this area for two months now, but with little success. Only occasional flashes. Many strikers have the ability to get rid of defense, but the kick is very poor, while Liu is just the opposite, the kick is quite good, but the ability to get rid of it is very poor...... This is the focus of our training of him, which can be described as a set of numbers, Liu's shooting is 9.5, breakthrough 5, foot technique 6, speed 6, passing 9.5, awareness 7, body element zhì5, combined, he can actually become a third-rate striker...... If we mention his weaknesses, he can be a striker between the second and third rate. ”
"He's 31...... Will it work? After listening to Bergkamp's tirade, Henry still shook his head, this is not to train children, now it is to train older young men, all the foundations have been formed, can this be done?
"It's not about age, didn't you lose your soul at Juventus back then? But when you came to Arsenal, didn't you become one of the top three strikers in the world at that time? ”
"But I was only 22 years old at the time, and I was very young!" Henry quibbled that this age was also ten years younger than Liu Hao.
"Young? At this age, Ronaldo has won the World Footballer of the Year twice, and you were nothing at the time. ”
"That guy is a phenomenon. Can't be compared like that. I'm comparing a 30-year-old player to a 20-year-old player, which is more logical......"
"Then you should be more than the first two years of your debut, obviously Liu has only debuted for a year and a half."
"Okay, Daniel, you don't have to convince me anymore, let's make him a third-rate striker, as long as that guy works hard enough, he still makes a good third-rate striker......"
"Very well, let's make a miracle!" Bergkamp finally burst out laughing. Being able to persuade Henry to cultivate Liu Hao with him, his confidence has doubled a lot, although he has seen many results from his previous efforts, but with the addition of a Henry, it may not be the same.
Of course, if you want to pull out the seedlings and help Liu Hao change from a low-rate striker to a third-rate striker, this is not a day or two to succeed, even if it is impossible to pull super talents like Ronaldo and Messi to cultivate, you can only achieve results step by step. The professor was also well aware of this, so he once again excluded Liu Hao from the team's collective training list and let him train alone.
Of course, it's time for the professor to change the team's training plan.
Under the premise of no cavalry Liu Hao, the most important thing for Arsenal now is to practice offensive tactics, defensively, this Arsenal has been the best defensive team in the past 20 years, what the professor has to do is to get Arsenal's previous habit of winning back, and can no longer rely on Liu Hao's mind.
The outside world has also speculated, that is, Liu Hao has gone through the Champions League semi-finals, exposed all the problems, and has been completely abandoned by the professor.
In order to block the mouth of the outside world, Arsenal announced the news of the signing of Liu Hao to the outside world in a timely manner, shattering the rumors. The £150,000 weekly salary slapped everyone in the face, how many players can get 150,000 weekly salary in the Premier League? If Liu Hao really can't do it, then why would the professor give him such a high salary?
The raise almost silenced everyone, but Mourinho didn't believe it. He has said on many occasions: "Arsenal are at the end of their game and they will soon fall behind." There is simply no way to continue competing with Chelsea, and Arsenal are bound to drop points in the next few league games, and Chelsea will certainly cement their lead at the end of the month. Look at the old guys on their bench, and then look at the young guys on our bench, and everyone will know who will make it to the end! ”
Jose Mourinho's words almost proved successful in the latest round of the league.
Chelsea, who have returned from the Champions League, seem to have stepped out of the shadow of being held to a draw at home to Stoke City in the last round of the league, sweeping Queens Park Rangers 4-1 away, and Jose Mourinho fielded more than half of his substitutes. The professor still played as the main team, but in the end it could only be a difficult 2-1 away win over Burnley. The status of the two can be seen.
What the reporters couldn't understand was that for the first time in this game, the professor did not put Liu Hao in the squad. On the contrary, it was found that Liu Hao actually appeared at Old Trafford to watch the derby of Manchester City. The future of the team is uncertain, is he still in the mood to watch other teams play?
After the match between Arsenal and Burnley, the professor was finally caught by a reporter and asked: "If the team loses at Burnley, will you regret not bringing Liu?" ”
"I didn't expect Burnley's resistance at home to be so strong, I thought the game would be easy to win, so I didn't plan to take Liu, he was tired. The club wants him to recharge his batteries and prepare for the more intense games ahead. ”
'The next more intense games are the FA Cup, the Champions League, and the league clash with Chelsea?'
"The FA Cup doesn't count. I didn't plan to bring Liu in the middle of next week, you know, the opponent is a rather rude team, and I'm afraid Liu will get injured in the game......"
The opponent is a rather rude team? Manchester City is a team that has always been quite rude in the Premier League. What words should other teams use to describe them? Doesn't the professor speak through a brain filter?
In the just-concluded Manchester derby, Manchester City played too gently to lead the team to fall at Old Trafford. The team has seen Manchester United once in the past two years, this time it was a complete miscalculation, Guus Hiddink's Manchester United rose in the second half of the season, especially in the last round when they were only three points away from fourth-placed Liverpool, they seemed to have become a different team, they once again set their sights on the Champions League, and even Manchester City won it. The unfortunate Liverpool drew and Tottenham lost, allowing Manchester United to turn three points into one point, overtaking Tottenham and finishing fifth......
Pellegrini, an assistant engineer who was holding his breath, was already depressed enough, but he was even more angry when he was ridiculed by the professor. The fight for the league title is basically hopeless, and now there is still hope of the FA Cup, which has become the last straw, and the opponent is Arsenal.
"I'm going to think some people have mouths that can." He retorted unceremoniously at the professor's brainless behavior, "Some people dream of a treble and end up with only one League Cup, which is their tradition for many years...... Without Liu, they are nothing, and Manchester City will not be embarrassed in front of this team. ”
Despite having been humiliated twice by Arsenal this season, Manuel Pellegrini is still hard-mouthed. He blamed Arsenal's current results on Liu Hao's hands, and now that Liu Hao is not on the field, then the Manchester City team's treatment of Arsenal is not the same as cutting vegetables?
In terms of team strength and bench strength, Chelsea and Manchester City are the top two in the Premier League, Pellegrini has obviously failed this season, third in the league, eliminated in the League Cup, eliminated in the Champions League, he does have such a trophy left. From this point of view, they are only slightly better than Liverpool, who poached the whole Saints, and Manchester United, who squandered £160 million.
'How did we play in the first half of the season? But the Manchester City team relies on Aguero, Aguero is there, they win, Aguero is not there, they can't win, tonight's game is a good proof, I think the FA Cup in midweek, he will definitely be eager to give Aguero a closed shot, because they can't do without Aguero, let's wait and see, I believe Aguero will definitely play......" The professor countered Pellegrini in the air. In the era when Mourinho was rampant in the Premier League, a manager who can't fight is obviously not a qualified manager, and now it seems that every Premier League manager has more or less such a ability, and the meaning of the professor's words is also very clear, in order to win, Pellegrini will not care about Aguero's life or death, and will definitely put the injured Aguero on the field, which is clearly Pellegrini's army.
Pellegrini didn't get hit, but said: "Aguero's injury is recovering well, and he was originally planning to return in this game, but some people will catch him on the pitch even if the player is cut that day, and some people have already done everything, and God can't ......tolerate it."
"My players only depend on his form, if he is in good form, he will play, and if he is not in good form, he will not play......" The professor walked down the steps, he has long had the idea of rotation, but he has not dared to rotate a large area this season. In the FA Cup semifinals, he thought it was time to rest the main players, so in the next day's training, he divided the main players and substitutes into two groups to compete against each other to inspect the state of the players.
Liu Hao's staff were also watching from the sidelines, and Bergkamp whispered next to Henry, "Let's examine a move today, he must learn to take the ball and turn around...... Just one trick, don't use anything else, he has to be completely familiar with this! ”
The entire Arsenal is practicing tactics, while Liu Hao is only practicing one move......
And the professor seems to be deliberately cooperating with Liu Hao, and his defense against Liu Hao is not as strict as usual, so that this guy has a chance to get the ball. And Liu Hao was also very polite, after getting the ball, he tried to get rid of Vermaelen's entanglement.
On two occasions he did get rid of Vermaelen, and on one occasion he actually kicked the ball into the net......
'Look, if there is a chance like this, he can score.' Bergkamp continued to whisper.
"But, this is a shot in a water-released state......" Henry glanced at him.
"If you don't release water, how can you improve his confidence, when he gets used to it, his confidence will follow!" (To be continued......)
