Chapter 155: Holding the ball on your back

Although Martin Scotter was lost, the Food, Drink, and Play Orchestra held an event before the start of the new season.

But this time, Chen Yingxiong did not attend.

He was practicing hard in his copy.

The biggest advantage of dungeons is that they can arrange training according to their own wishes.

For example, the "teammates" and "coaches" in the dungeon are now cooperating with Chen Yingxiong to conduct special training on "how to become a real center".

"Don't let him turn around easily!" Edvorcart was roaring at the court, signaling Martin Scotter, who was defending Chen Yingxiong, not to show mercy. "I know you are friends, Martin! But if you let him go, you have to accept punishment!"

Scotter has already transferred and left, but Scotter in the dungeon still exists.

Scotter is the most defensive central defender in the team. Of course, Chen Yingxiong will not let him leave in the dungeon as well. Staying behind can help him improve his strength.

Chen Yingxiong's training in the dungeon is mainly divided into two parts, one is his own ball control exercise, and the other is the whole team cooperating with him to practice behind-the-single singles alone.

The ball control practice is mainly to use his feet to control the ball quickly. His original foot skills were very rough, but now he has to be slightly better - experience has an added effect on the training effect, so Chen Yingxiong's progress can be seen.

Chen Yingxiong didn't ask himself to be able to wear flowers and butterflies like C. Ronaldo, which made the opponent's defender dizzy.

But at least the basic ball control ability must be achieved, so that the opponent will not lose the ball quickly when pressing.

After hearing Edvorkat's roar, Scotter obviously strengthened his defense. After he used a fierce tackle to destroy the ball that Chen Yingxiong had been waded out, Chen Yingxiong also fell to the ground.

He got up and shouted at Scotter, "Damn it! You're really having fun!"

Scotter did not answer the answer to Chen Yingxiong's words of venting emotions, but just smiled.

This smile was one of several characteristics that Chen Yingxiong inserted into when constructing Scotter. At that time, Scotter appeared in his mind at the door of Katyusha's private room, holding a beautiful woman in his left and right hands and smiling at him.

In reality, Edvorkat told Chen Yingxiong that his long-range shot level is very high, but he doesn't know how to use his long-range shot. Most of the time, he has to face the goal head-on and then adjust it, which won't work. Because it is impossible to give him so many opportunities to adjust in a fierce game. If you dribble for several meters, the opponent will not come up, and you will watch you shoot with your feet - this is rare.

The goal of practice is not to adapt to such defense, but to have higher goals and challenges.

Edvorkat told Chen Yingxiong that he could combine singles with long shots with long shots - for example, when he was holding the ball with his back outside the penalty area, the opponent's defender came up, and he lacked enough support. What should I do at this time?

Continuing to pass the football back is an option, but if it is always like this, how can you threaten the opponent's goal? As a center, you can have another option.

That is...turn and shoot long!

Just like the center in a basketball turned around and shot.

This action sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult. Otherwise, the forwards in the world would be holding the ball with their backs at the front of the penalty area, then swaying away the opponent's defense beautifully, turning around and volleying, and the football came into the net... Such a thing.

First of all, you have to be able to get rid of defense. Secondly, you have to be able to control the ball when you get rid of defense. Then, if you control the ball, you have to be able to control the football within a suitable range to facilitate your next shot. If you control the football, but you are too close to your body, you can't shoot. In the end, it is naturally the most difficult shot. You have to shoot immediately when you just turn around and get rid of it, and at the same time ensure the quality of the shot, it is not easy.

If any of these links goes wrong, you may not get the results you want.

In addition to turning around and shooting, the center must also be able to turn around and dribble the ball, but this requirement is a bit high for Chen Yingxiong at the moment.

Chen Yingxiong's ability to hold the ball on his back is mainly to protect the football and pass the ball to his teammates. He does not have the ability to shoot yet.

Since he has started practicing this ability, Chen Yingxiong feels that this should be taken into account when choosing talent points.

So he decided to invest the talent points he obtained after upgrading to such a talent with a very unique name.

"My ball protection is like the Great Emperor". There are three levels in total, and the success rate of ball protection is increased by five percent for each level, and a total of fifteen percent.

After winning the top scorer last season, his experience has soared and has risen to level 21. He pointed his talent to "Don't Move Like a Mountain", so that this talent will be fully improved.

Now he has upgraded again and has obtained talent points. He has added "My ball protection is like the emperor" without hesitation. He has taken the ball with his back and played singles. Protecting the ball is very important. If you can't protect the ball, nothing will be used.

Of course, Chen Yingxiong didn't even know how to protect the ball, but with the added talent, it would obviously make his protection better, and the opponent would not intercept the ball from his feet so easily.

This winter, Edvorkat did not introduce players like last year.

For him, the team's basic lineup framework has been very stable, and the only problem is that Scotter left. However, this was something he had expected long ago - since Scotter's agent never negotiated a contract renewal with the club, everyone knew that this Slovakian defensive star was destined to leave St. Petersburg.

In order to make up for his loss of departure, Edvokat mainly worked on defense. He first introduced a young central defender Thomas Hubocan from Zilina of the Slovak League. The central defender is the main central defender of the Jilina club. He is 1.83 meters tall and has a good heading ability. He has been selected for the Slovak national team four times.

Zenit spent 3.8 million euros to sign him.

In addition, Edvokat also introduced free agents from Khimki without spending a penny, who can play back and front midfielder, as well as central defender Roman Sirokov (Roman Sirokov).

He spent 6.5 million euros to introduce midfielder Igor Semshov from Dynamo Moscow. When Semshov played for the Moscow torpedo, he was the pinnacle of his career. He was elected the team's Player of the Year four times. Later, he transferred to Dynamo Moscow for two seasons. Because he did not reach an agreement with the club on renewal, he was listed for sale by the club. Zenit took the opportunity to gain money and strengthen his midfield strength.

On the front line, Edvocart did not make any signings. Not only did he not sign, he also had to prevent being poached.

Chen Yingxiong performed well last season, attracting more eye-catching attention.

He now has a certain reputation in the transfer market. Some teams have already taken a fancy to him, and even in Europe, some teams have expressed interest in him.

Of course, European teams are more interested and have not taken action yet, and they are still waiting and watching. The League Cup is a good opportunity to observe.

The teams in the Russian domestic league are welcome.

Sparta Moscow took the lead in taking action. They planned to bring Chen Yingxiong, who competed for the best scorer with Pavlyuchenko last season, to Luzhniki Stadium, and form the most terrifying front group in Russia with Pavlyuchenko.

In order to get Chen Yingxiong, they issued a transfer fee request of 8 million euros to Zenit Club.

This is his first value. He joined Zenit before for a free transfer and did not ask for a penny for Zenit Club. When Chen Yingxiong knew that he was worth this price now, he curled his lips with disdain - Eight million is like taking me away? Do you think I am a cabbage?

But even if Sparta offers ten million euros, he doesn't want to go.

In Russia, he just wants to play for Zenit. If he transfers, he will definitely not be able to make a round trip between Russian teams.

Now he wants to play in Zenit's League Cup and doesn't want anything else.

In the face of the offer from Sparta Moscow, Edvokat's response was also very firm - refuse!

If Zenit did not qualify for the League Cup knockout round, then he would really not have the confidence to keep Chen Yingxiong. He could see that this kid is not the kind of person who is willing to spend his whole life in a small place. He is ambitious and ambitious.

Now, there is a League Cup to make carrots, and Chen Yingxiong will not go anywhere in the first half of the year. As for the second half of the year... he is hard to say.

But what to do if you think about that far away? Just think about the League Cup.

As the team's head coach, not the manager, he can't make decisions on many things. For example, although he is unwilling to leave, he can't do anything about it.

Chen Yingxiong didn't want to leave, while Tek wanted to leave.

Of course, Edvocart couldn't let this Turkish scorer go. Although he could only play as a substitute most of the time, he was the team's only substitute forward at present. If he left, he would have to spend a lot of effort to search for candidates to replace him in the transfer market. It would be a waste of time and energy, which was not worth it.

Therefore, the best way is to keep him.

Tektronix should have had a bright future in Zenit.

He spent 10 million euros at Zenit Club, and his salary was the highest in the team at that time.

Unexpectedly, a Chen Yingxiong suddenly emerged and nailed him to the bench...

Edvokat promised to give Teke more opportunities to play, keeping him.

March 14th is the first league game to begin the new season, and on February 13th, the League Cup will kick off.

Zenit met in the sixteenth-finals with the Spanish powerhouse "yellow submarine" Villarreal.

St. Petersburg Zenit first home and then away.

As the game day approaches, Chen Yingxiong is practicing hard in the dungeon, sweating.

In fact, Edvocart did not expect him to develop the ability to play singles with the ball on his back before the game against Villarreal. This is unrealistic.

But Chen Yingxiong doesn't think so. He wants to improve himself even if he wants to deal with the upcoming big stage!
