Chapter 035 Figo’s comments and suggestions
Last night's sparring session with the simulated man Qi Dan in space had a great impact on Li Zhao. In yesterday's confrontation, he was completely at a disadvantage. In front of the senior known as Qi Zu, he thought he had good ball-holding skills.
They couldn't use it, and they never succeeded in breaking through his defense. On the other hand, the opponent could easily get past him, and he was completely tortured into a dog.
In the past, it was true that he had been sitting in a well and looking at the sky, but Li Zhao was not discouraged at all. Only when he knew his own shortcomings could he have the motivation to go further.
Today is November 29th. Since it is Friday, Li Zhao’s uncle, cousin and cousin all went out early in the morning. As a housewife, Aunt Mina also had to go shopping in the morning, so Li Ruolan took the initiative to follow her.
Went to the supermarket. As a result, only Li Zhao and Leonard were left at home.
Figo came at 8 o'clock in the morning, and then took Li Zhao and Leonard to a field behind their villa, where they will train today. This was also deliberately done by Li Changsheng in order to facilitate Leonard's training at any time.
A small stadium was built. Although the venue is not large, it has all the necessary facilities.
As soon as they came up, Figo asked the two brothers to engage in confrontation training.
In terms of position on the field, the two people still have certain similarities, and they are both capable of playing other positions in the midfield and frontcourt. They have also been taught by Figo's words and deeds. The only difference is Li Zhao's position.
He is more focused on the midfielder, while Leonard has now adjusted to the winger position.
In half an hour, the two sides also made several offensive and defensive transitions. Generally speaking, the level of the two was not much different, but in the final result, Li Zhao was still slightly ahead of his cousin.
After the break, the two continued to compete for half an hour, and of course the results were similar.
"Okay, I have a rough idea of your level. Let's rest for a while. I will practice with you later." Figo said at this time.
At this time, Li Ruolan and Aunt Mina had also returned from the supermarket. They also purchased a cart of items for the large wave of customers tonight. At this time, Li Zhao and the others also helped to move the things. When they were done,
After that, Figo, Li Zhao and the others continued to practice. After Li Ruolan finished his work first, he watched their training from the sidelines.
"Next, I will hold the ball and attack. You two will defend together and see if you can intercept the ball from my feet." Figo said suddenly after training for a while.
Li Zhao and Leonard looked at each other and nodded, and then they all surrounded Figo who was holding the ball. But even though it was one-on-two, Figo was still able to do it with ease. Li Zhao and Leonard were stunned.
The two of them had nothing to do with him, and they calmly shot after breaking through the attack between them. On the other hand, when it was Li Zhao or Leonard's turn to attack with the ball, Figo could often predict their intentions at the first time, and then shoot
Attack and destroy.
"Now I know your true level. I can't guard you, and I don't have the ability to attack you. I'm just a striker. If I were to switch to a more professional defensive player, like Makelele, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to do anything at all."
Don't even think about breaking through the past. Although you are usually very good in your respective teams and in the same level competition, if you are now placed in the top league, the situation may be completely different.
You haven't seen enough of a real defensive expert, so you still have a long way to go. If you are still not convinced, one day I can call Makelele to give it a try for you personally," Figo said.
"Thank you. If there is a chance, I am willing to give it a try." Li Zhao didn't say much because he had experienced the same situation once last night. However, he had a heart that became more courageous with every setback. If he could break through, then
The defense of a world-class defensive expert is his further goal.
"Courage is commendable, but Makelele is currently the assistant coach of Paris Saint-Germain, so he may not be free to attend this appointment. But for my sake, it should be possible, and the next best thing is Pepe.
But before that, you'd better improve your level to a better level first, otherwise it won't make much sense," Figo said.
"Uncle, I didn't expect you to let yourself go when you were sparring with me before. Your true strength is so amazing!" Leonard also sighed sincerely.
"Okay, you know how much you weigh, so you can take appropriate measures according to your shortcomings. This is also the purpose of my training today. Ronaldo, although you are excellent, you still lack some effort compared to Xiao Zhao."
After Figo finished talking about Leonard's question, he turned to Li Zhao and said: "Xiao Zhao, I have watched your performance in the World Youth Championship, and you performed very well, but what I want to say is that it is not enough.
.The reason why you can achieve such results is also due to a lot of luck. Because the C national team has historically had poor results, many countries look down upon you. Even after defeating the Swedish team, they always think that
That's because of luck, and the other thing is that I don't pay enough attention to you. If it happens again, I guess you won't be so lucky."
"Cousin, I've also thought about this. You can rely on luck for a while, but it cannot last long. If you want to keep going, you have to rely on strength to speak for itself in the end." Li Zhaodao.
"It's good that you can understand this. Another thing I want to say is that after watching your game video, I found that you still haven't fully utilized your strength." Figo said in a shocking way.
.
"How could it be possible? I've obviously tried my best." Li Zhao said in confusion.
"I didn't say you didn't try your best. What I said was that you didn't show everything you knew. In fact, what I saw was that you only showed ordinary things. Of course, there is nothing you can do about it. After all, there is nothing you can do.
The reason is that you still play too few games. Of course, there is nothing you can do about it in your country. At this age in your country, there is still a lack of training in high-quality games. In my European and American countries, at your age
Although I can’t say that I have experienced hundreds of battles, I still play competitions in the lower age groups every two days. You can ask Leonard about this,” Figo said.
Li Zhao looked at his cousin and saw that he also nodded silently.
"In fact, in your situation, it is a miracle that you can still maintain such a competitive state. So I don't mean to blame you. I can only say that you have such a good talent, but you can't get the ingredients."
It's just a pity that he has to train for the game. If it was Leonard, he probably wouldn't be able to lead the C national team so far. Fortunately, it's not too late to start now," Figo said.
"Uncle! I'm not that bad, am I!" Leonard actually knew his situation, but he still refused to admit defeat.
"You! Let's not talk about this now. Let's go eat first." Figo looked at him helplessly, then turned back to Li Zhao and said: "Xiao Zhao, I have important news after dinner and I want to ask your opinion. .”
"Okay!" Li Zhao nodded. He knew that Figo had already achieved results.
After lunch, Li Ruolan went to help her aunt clean up the dishes, but Figo handed an information document bag to Li Zhao's hand.
"This is the result I came up with after investigating several clubs that are interested in you." Figo said.
Li Zhao read along the document and found that the comments from several top league clubs recommended careful consideration. On the contrary, the comments from several low-level league clubs suggested that you can try, but the contracts recommended that you only sign short-term contracts.
"What does this mean?" Li Zhao asked with some confusion.
"First of all, I think you should mainly focus on experience at this stage. Entering a big club in the top league too early will not be good for you. Apart from it sounds nice, it has no practical significance at all.
The most important thing for you now is to play more games and practice in a club that can give you enough playing time. Even if the club is at a lower level, you can work your way up later. By then you will truly become famous. , are you afraid that there are no bigger opportunities? On the contrary, even if you barely stay in those so-called better clubs now, it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to have a position in the short term, and you may even become a water dispenser manager, or be loaned out. Letting your destiny be completely controlled by others, I think this is not what you want to see." Figo analyzed seriously.
"Yeah, I've actually thought about this. There is a saying in country C called 'I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail', which should be what it means. By the way, why did you mark one of the Brazilian league clubs? The point is, do you think it is an option for me to play in the Brazilian league?" Li Zhao asked.
"Why not? Although few foreign players go to South America to play, their league level is not bad at all, and the density of games is more intense than in European leagues. In terms of training and progress, maybe there is more openness there. The football environment is actually more favorable for you when you are still in your youth. When you come back after you have achieved certain results there, no one will be able to stop you from moving forward," Figo analyzed. .
"Let's wait until Xiao Sa comes back before making a final decision. After all, she is my current manager, and they will be here tonight," Li Zhao said.
"Okay, that's what it should be." Figo said, and he was not surprised by Li Zhao's answer.
Chapter completed!
