A sliding tackle at the beginning, I am a star in Great Britain

Chapter 244 Excellent but Hard to Call Excellent!Advice from Mullenstein!
Guardian: Excellent, but hardly great!

The Sun: The secret that Wang Shen has to tell about his weak legs!
Looking at the headlines of the two newspapers, Wang Shen rolled his eyes and threw them out.

"Don't disgust me with these two newspapers in the future, Isabella, we don't need to add subscriptions to them."

After listening to Wang Shen's words, Isabella nodded in approval.

Then he took out Manwan, which was of course the usual compliment.

But between the lines, there are references to Raphael's outstanding achievements.

Ok.

The best player last night was indeed Raphael.

Although in terms of offense and assists, it is difficult to see him.

But not to mention several times.

The suddenness of the many forward penetrations is the root cause of Manchester United's victory.

Man Wan is still professional enough.

Even if he strongly praised Wang Shen, it did not kill Raphael's achievements.

Other newspapers are not so "professional".

Including the Times, which always wants to show "justice", it also praised Wang Shen so much that there is nothing in the world.

In short, during Wang Shen's competition for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, don't expect to see bad things about him from English newspapers.

Of course, those two must be excluded.

After driving to the training base in the afternoon, Wang Shen was stopped by reporters swarming at the gate.

In the past, he naturally wanted to avoid it.

But before the FA has secretly conveyed the word, hoping that he will cooperate with the exposure, so that the FA can use this to help him.

So Wang Shen had to stop and accept a short interview.

The problems at the beginning were all "normal", and the traces of arrangement were still obvious.

But later on, "real" reporters gradually began to appear, and Wang Shen was going to refuse on the grounds of limited time.

But a question caught his attention:

"What do you want to say about Maradona's evaluation of you?"

This was the first time he faced this kind of inquiry, so he said after a brief silence:

"I think Mr. Maradona is right. I am still clumsy on the court and need to work harder to catch up with those geniuses."

"Are you saying you are not as good as Messi?"

Another reporter asked, and immediately attracted dissatisfied gazes from colleagues.

Wang Shen looked at his reporter card.

If it is the media from Barcelona, ​​then there is no problem.

"I think I'm good enough, sir, just not great enough, I think I'll learn from Mr. Maradona."

After saying this, Wang Shen was no longer interested in accepting interviews, and directly entered the training base with the help of security guards.

"You don't have to answer all the interviews, King, that would be counterproductive."

Beckham, who walked into the training base with him, said.

Wang Shen nodded to express his understanding, and then was stopped by Peilan in front of the locker room.

"Go to Mullenstein, he is waiting for you in the tactical room."

Perrin said to him.

"You only have theoretical classes this afternoon, so you don't need to participate in training."

"What happened?" Wang Shen asked suspiciously.

"From good to great, King, and he wants to help you get there."

After Pei Lan finished speaking, he motioned for him to go quickly, and Wang Shen could only bid farewell to Beckham and leave.

……

"There is no perfect player, Kings, not just on offense and defense."

When Mullenstin spoke the first sentence, Wang Shen was confused.

"Even in terms of offense or defense alone, it is difficult for anyone to be called perfect."

"I don't understand what you mean, Coach!"

Wang Shen blinked his eyes twice, and said puzzledly.

"I mean……"

Mullenstein frowned and thought for a moment.

"Ronaldo's physical ability to resist injuries is too weak, and Messi's header is not even comparable to ordinary forwards.

"Zidane would sneak out in unimportant games, Ronaldo needs the support of his teammates too much.

"Uh...do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean that all players have their own shortcomings?" Wang Shen asked rhetorically.

"Yes, but if you look at it from another angle, the disadvantages are also derived from their strengths."

Mullenstein nodded and explained.

"Ronaldo's pendulum hurts his knee too much, which is the main factor for his physical deterioration.

"Messi's header is due to his height, but his short height also gives him a stronger ability to change directions.

"Zidane always slips because he has a great imagination, that's why he always makes unexpected choices.

"C Ronaldo needs the support of more teammates because he is moving towards the terminator, which cannot be reversed."

Meulensteen's explanation made Wang Shen deep in thought, and he spoke slowly after a long time.

"You mean, I should give full play to my strengths, even if it will expose my weaknesses?"

Wang Shen's inquiry attracted Mullenstein's admiring gaze.

"Yes, talking to smart people is easy."

After Mullenstein finished speaking, he began to write on the tactical board.

He writes first about slide tackle and interception awareness, and later in smaller text:

Marking, stealing.

"Big characters represent your strengths, and small characters represent your weaknesses. What can you tell from this?"

Wang Shen frowned at Mullensteen's question, he paused for a moment and replied:

"Does that mean I'm only suitable as a defensive midfielder instead of a central defender?"

"That's just one of the answers."

Meulensteen's finger was on the interception consciousness.

"The excellence of this ability allows you to judge the weak points of the team faster in the defense."

Meulensteen said and moved his finger laterally on the slider.

"And the excellence of this ability allows you to tackle directly from the side without having to make redundant moves, so..."

Watching Mullenstin signal him to say what to say next, Wang Shen swallowed and spit.

"So I don't need to defend with others at all, but only need to block the open space or directly..."

"Yes, that's it."

Meulensteen directly crossed out the two options of marking and stealing with the pen in his hand.

"Since they are not great enough, let them go.

"You are the frontcourt, and there is no need to do the work of the midfielder when you return to defense in an emergency."

Looking back on some past behaviors, Wang Shen really felt like superfluous.

Instead of chasing down the opposing defender, it is better to go directly to block the opening or look for the opportunity to tackle.

"As it is with defense, so it is with offense."

Meulensteen said and wrote the words long-range shots and shots in the penalty area on the whiteboard again.

"When you shoot in the box, you always try to shoot well.

"It's certainly a sign of your versatility.

"But your long-range shot is obviously better, why don't you shoot long-range in the penalty area?"

Faced with this question from Mullenstein, Wang Shen just nodded to accept it, and he didn't have the sudden feeling like before.

One reason is that I have already experienced it once, and naturally I will not be as surprised as before.

Another reason is the difference between long-range shots and shots in the penalty area.

Long shots usually have more kicking space than inside the box.

This is also the reason why he was reluctant to use long-range shots in the penalty area before.

But today it's slightly different.

With quicker kicks, he can indeed try to shoot from distance in the penalty area.

"And the arc and the outer instep."

Meulensteen said again.

"You have a great ability to kick the curve ball, and the outside instep is also very strong, but you rarely score from the outside with long-range shots..."

With Mullenstein's in-depth interpretation, Wang Shen actually understood what he meant.

He felt that his playing was too rigid, and he wanted to open up his mind and let him create more possibilities.

Wang Shen was naturally willing.

So one afternoon, the two stayed in the tactics room, studying Wang Shen's other kicks that were worth exploring.
