The strongest blade in football

Chapter 20 Amateur Games
For several days in a row, Wang Nuo was in a bad mood because of the video analysis.

It is completely different from appreciating the game on weekdays. Video analysis is to collect various data, and to pause and draw lines at any time to write analysis reports.

A game is cut into many frames for study.

Wang Nuo personally made the analysis report of the five games played by Standard Liege last season.

In these five games, there were three wins, one draw and one loss. Whether they won or lost, Wang Nuo felt a lot of pressure from the rhythm of the game and the integrity of the team shown.

Wang Nuo put himself into any of these games, and put himself in the shoes of himself to think about how he would play if he were the team's winger, full-back, shadow forward, midfielder, etc.

The ridiculous thing is that Wang Nuo looked at the overall situation and made a choice that was not much better than the standard Liege first-team players in the video.

These guys are too good. Many of their passes seem ordinary. If you study carefully, you will find that a lot of factors were taken into account at that moment.

Formation, stance, characteristics of the receiving player, running position after the pass, and even forward and reverse feet!

"The gap between professional and amateur is all-round."

Del Rio seemed to have guessed what Wang Nuo was thinking, and he was merciless when he nagged.

"Collating data and analyzing game videos will make you realize your own shortcomings. This is why Witte Ante asked you to be my assistant."

"You may be able to kill the Quartet with your personal ability when you play football in U19, but once you enter the first team, you will suffer."

"The first team, whether it is the rhythm of the game, confrontation, player experience or tactical execution, leads the youth echelon in all aspects."

"Here, the most important point is that you can't have obvious shortcomings. Vetteant is optimistic about you, so he doesn't want your shortcomings to drag down your career."

If it was a few days ago, when Wang Nuo heard such arguments, he would only pretend to accept the opinions humbly, but deep down he didn't think so.

Wang Nuohui feels that he has played football for nearly ten years, has his own football philosophy, and has his own way of playing football. Others' opinions may be biased.

But now, Wang Nuo has really studied the standard Liege first-team matches and compared himself with the first-team players.

Standard Liege is a giant in Belgium, one of the three major teams, and occasionally has the opportunity to play in the Champions League.Even if you encounter a former Champions League champion like Liverpool, you can still play well.

But Standard Liege dominates the League One and is still not the top of Europe.

Wang Nuo's goal is to play the most professional football in Europe with the powerful teams in the five major leagues.

He is not a big player in the U19 team, but the real talent is already a first-team player at this age.

Wang Nuo will not call himself a genius, nor will he underestimate himself, he just wants to be good enough.

So, in the face of the facts, Wang Nuo finally realized that he needed to do something to make up for his shortcomings-poor vision when holding the ball and too much personal dribbling.

Wang Nuo immediately thought of Zoe.

Wang Nuo was very impressed by Zoe's post-match summary, and even Witte Ante publicly stated that Zoe is a player who plays football with his brain in the true sense.

Wang Nuo once heard Zoe mention that during the offseason, he would privately organize and play some non-commercial amateur games with some friends every day.

Wang Nuo talked to Del Rio about his ideas, and got two hours of rest every day, and these two precious hours, Wang Nuo decided to use it to play amateur games.

If you just play low-intensity amateur games, it is difficult for Wang Nuo to exercise, so Wang Nuo put some restrictions on himself in a targeted manner.

"What, you want to come too?" Zooey looked a little unbelievable when she saw Wang Nuo's serious expression.

"Dude, the friends I've dated are all average. With your speed and breakthrough ability, it doesn't make sense for you to be able to go straight to Huanglong from the midfield and play against them."

"I will reduce dribbling and breakthroughs, and I will definitely not shoot."

"To tell you the truth, I was working as an assistant to Mr. Del Rio, the video analyst of the first team. I analyzed the video of the first team game all day long and realized my shortcomings."

"Playing amateur games, I just want to practice my passing and overall situation in combination with reality," Wang Nuo said.

"Video analyst assistant?"

Zooey made an expression that seemed to be interesting what kind of part-time job this was.

In the end, Zoe agreed to Wang Nuo to join the amateur competition organized by him, and Wang Nuo also agreed to Zoe's request - Del Rio had a second assistant.

In just one day, Zoe's performance impressed Del Rio.

"Damn it, you are simply a genius, boy, what you make is much better than the dog/shit made by that rookie Wang Nuo."

Del Rio was very excited and swears again, even Wang Nuo was shot.

"Stop playing football, your talent is here, follow me, five years, at most five years, I can introduce you to the University of Liege."

"Take a coaching qualification certificate and a degree related to kinesiology, and then you can directly work in the coaching staff of Standard Liege, which is much more reliable than playing football!"

Del Rio repeated what he had said to Wang Nuo.

But Wang Nuo knew that Del Rio was really shocked this time, and Zoe was born for coaching and football analysis.

There is no denying that Zoe is a perfect fit for work related to football tactics and theory.

Wang Nuo also benefited. The originally stipulated two-hour rest time per day was extended to five hours as a reward for bringing in a truly talented assistant.

Wang Nuo had been wondering why Del Rio had such a heavy workload before, and he noticed that Del Rio also worked late every day.

This is completely different from the work intensity of most Belgians.

It wasn't until later that he learned that he had wasted half a month in the bar every day!
Del Rio also felt quite guilty because of this, and promised to pay an additional [-] euros as a reward for the two after the offseason ended.

Every day at three o'clock in the afternoon, after finishing their work, Wang Nuo and Zoe would ride their bicycles to the stadium on the north side of the Maas River to play games.

Before that, Zoe typically played nine-on-nine games on a quarter-sized pitch smaller than a standard pitch.

Zoe accepted Wang Nuo's suggestion and moved the game to the east side of Dufrasen. She called a few friends and started to play eleven-on-eleven on the standard field.

This is more like a regular game, and Wang Nuo can finally start to implement his plan.

"Hey, is this guy really your teammate, Zoe?"

The chef at the Rose Hotel pointed at Wang Nuo who never broke through, "This guy can only pass the ball, so he can play in the echelon of Standard Liege?"

Of course, I admit that he passed the ball very well, had a couple of dangerous through balls, but it wasn't enough, you know what, it wasn't enough. "

"I think he should play more in the midfield. He has no speed and no breakthrough. Is he a qualified winger!"

Wang Nuo happened to hear it, and laughed, not angry at all.

He was very happy. He was one of the few people who boasted that he could pass the ball since he was a child.

Zoe also smiled heartily, and responded to the bald chef Boris' complaint: "That's right, he's not good at his feet, but he's the most organized guy in our echelon. You have to be careful!"

Wang Nuo simply changed his position to the middle, which makes it easier to practice offensive organization and series.

Facing the amateur team composed of cooks, pastry chefs, construction workers, freelance writers, band singers, and ordinary office workers, Wang Nuo played very seriously.

Their defense was full of loopholes. Wang Nuo was confident that he could pass three or five players with the ball, but Wang Nuo never did it once.

Instead, he would try to recall the standard Liege first-team midfielder on video and imitate it, reassuring as a pivot rather than a finisher.

Wang Nuo's full and compact offseason plan was launched smoothly.

In the morning, analyze the game video of the first team and make an image report.

In the afternoon, as a midfielder, I will play an amateur game of 10 and [-] minutes in each half.

Running to work in the morning and evening, and doing some strength training before going to bed, Wang Nuo never suffered from insomnia again.

After half a month, Wang Nuo was pleasantly surprised to find that he had increased his ball.

Now he has changed a lot from half a month ago.

When the ball is at his feet, he no longer thinks about how to break through or how to shoot, but is looking for the best point to shoot the ball, and looking for loopholes in the opponent's defense.

Wang Nuo also made a lot of good shots that were unimaginable before.

He finally understood the painstaking efforts of Witt Ante, and recalled what the club staff said to him on the day of signing the contract. Now it seems that he was really thinking of himself.

Most importantly, it seems that this way of playing football is easier and easier to win the favor of teammates.

After more than ten days, this group of amateur teammates were full of praise for Wang Nuo, and claimed that if Wang Nuo entered the first team, they would definitely go to the scene to cheer for Wang Nuo.

　The second update, today is New Year's Eve, I wish you all a happy new year!
