The Ball at Your Feet

After an away victory over Eindhoven and a good start for this year's Champions League, the Liverpool players returned to England.

Kuyt, who played well, naturally received a lot of praise, and when interviewed by the media, Kuyt also thanked Zhao Yaning, "I have to thank Zhao Yaning for his trust and help. He doesn't care about me. His mistakes and the practice of constantly passing the ball to me gave me a lot of opportunities. He is the best in the world. I hope I can do better. I also believe that with such excellent teammates, we It can really get better."

Kuyt’s words made Zhao Yaning also very happy: Put aside his praise, at least, to be able to say this has already shown that he has begun to have a sense of identity with the team. Incorporating into a team does not only refer to skills, but also mood, habits, and relationships with teammates. A person may be willing to join another team because the other team is better, but if you want to feel happy in the new team, you still need to rely on the establishment of mutual affection. I can feel the help from my teammates, and the relationship with them is getting better, which is enough to show that Kuyt has begun to integrate into this team.

And Kuyt's rapid integration into the team also made Zhao Yaning also received a lot of praise at this time.

"Now Zhao Yaning plays more and more like a leader and commander." Many newspapers have given a very high evaluation of Zhao Yaning's approach. "While Zhao Yaning is constantly improving, he is also helping his teammates. We have made progress. Since last season, he has always delivered good shots for his teammates. Sometimes, even at the expense of his own goal-breaking opportunity, he also helps his teammates build confidence and integrate into the team. His this This approach has allowed Walcott to continue to improve, Fowler’s recovery, and Kuyt’s integration into the team. A good player is often a good leader, and Zhao Yaning is obviously an excellent leader. He played well in his own way. At the same time, we will continue to help teammates find their status and help them improve. Such players are truly amazing players."

Outstanding leader-Zhao Yaning could not have imagined that he would be able to get this evaluation one day. But think about it, which leader does not rely on his outstanding performance to help the team become better and win respect? Since he is the best player on the team and has done enough, then it will naturally be a matter of time before he is called the leader.

What surprised him was that after returning to England, he was really treated as a leader. He was invited out by two other players to discuss matters with him.

These two people are Diego Milito and Mohamed Sissoko.

"Joy, I just want to ask you, do you really like working with players like Kuyt?"

When Milito asked, he was still a little nervous. Zhao Yaning also saw his appearance. When he saw his appearance, Zhao Yaning immediately understood their thoughts, "You came to me because you were afraid of losing the main force position?"

"Joy, I have this kind of guess." Milito did not hide it. "I think you should like to work with forwards with strong cooperating ability. After all, forwards with strong cooperating ability can help you make more goals. The ball makes your performance more conspicuous. And a forward like me, always steals the limelight. I want to ask you..."

"Diego, as long as you recover, I still prefer to work with you." Zhao Yaning waved his hand. "It doesn't really matter what kind of striker I work with. You know my temper. I'm not the kind of obligatory. I don’t care about the number of goals scored by someone who asks for the number of goals. Of course, it’s no harm to have more. I did like to work with Moreau, but that’s because we have known each other for a long time and have a better relationship.

Zhao Yaning didn't say much, but Milito could understand that he and Zhao Yaning had known each other longer than Kuyt.

"Furthermore, I also hope that the forward in front of me can take less possession of the ball, not to control the ball, but to shoot more, move more, and be able to receive my ball. Dirk is a good player. , I am very active and hardworking, but I still prefer to work with you. When playing football, no one can read their own ideas. It is a painful thing that others can't catch one's own passes all the time. I don't quite understand, now I have more cooperation with Dirk, and I understand a little bit..."

After Inzaghi moved to Milan, he publicly declared that he liked Rui Costa's passes more than Zidane's. And Rui Costa also responded, he is very happy that his partner is Inzaghi-passing skills, sometimes it needs the striker's shooting and running position as a backing, if others always do not understand himself How do you get the idea of ​​passing the ball?

Since his debut, Zhao Yaning has always cooperated with Roundup, Pulsau, Morientes, Milito and others. He knew Adebayor as a striker who could not shoot, but at that time, the two of them worked together. not much. And now, Kuyt's playing style is still very depressing for him. Zhao Yaning is not a person who is keen on his own goals. Sometimes, some of his ideas are hoped that the forwards can understand them, but Kuyt obviously can't.

"I help Dirk, hoping that he can integrate into the team as soon as possible. Too many goals really can't make his technical progress, but it can make him trust the team more and integrate faster. But after you come back, I am sure You will still be the first choice for shooters. As for tactical arrangements, I think the coach will have a good idea."

Milito nodded, what he wanted was Zhao Yaning's verbal support. He is not afraid of competition, but he is afraid that Kuyt, who is good at football, is supported by Zhao Yaning. If the coach changes all the tactics for this, it will be troublesome.

But while talking, it seemed that Zhao Yaning was still very supportive of him, which was enough for him.

But Sissoko still has a problem. "What about me? Joey, are we doing well together?"

"Momo, to be honest, Havel played better than you." After a moment of silence, Zhao Yaning said, "This is not acceptable. South Americans are skilled."

"So you support him as the main force, don't you support me?" Sissoko asked rhetorically.

"Momo, this is for the good of the team. However, your problem is that the pass is not good enough. If you want, we two will practice extra every day. I will help you train the pass. Maybe you can catch up. of."

"Who knows how long it will take," Sissoko muttered.

"No matter how long, I will stay with me." Zhao Yaning said, "Now the media say that I am the leader-I will not do anything else, but I will play football, train, and compete. I assure you, we are here. Playing football together for a day, I will definitely help you all day, I will definitely help you, play your highest level."——

Soon, in the next league, Milito got a chance to start in the match between Liverpool and Tottenham. The team has a 442 formation, Zhao Yaning and Gerrard are on the two wings, and Kuyt and Milito start together.

Last season, Tottenham wanted to reach the top four in the league and get the place in the Champions League, but in the end, they fell short in the last three rounds. This season, Carrick was sold to Manchester United by them. Davis is getting old and is also unbearable. Last season, their extremely excellent midfield combination, this season there is nothing left.

They have also made some signings this season. They bought Liverpool's Kewell, and then brought in Murphy and Ligue 1's Zimbunda to make their backcourt a little better. However, such a lineup, when they met Liverpool, the midfielder did not suppress the opponent's strength, and was quickly suppressed by Liverpool.

But although Liverpool suppressed Tottenham, they did not score a goal.

"Liverpool can play against any strong team this season. However, they want to score a goal, but it makes people feel extraordinarily difficult. Kuyt always doesn't score goals, and he just got some improvement. This game changed Milito to grab a chance with him. I really don’t know what they are thinking."

Kuyt had just played well in the last game, and he naturally received attention. He did not start this game, which naturally caused speculation. However, Zhao Yaning admired this decision: Kuyt played well, but Milito recovered, isn't it better than him? Moreover, if you can cooperate well, isn't it also a change?

But this game was unexpected. From the very beginning, Liverpool played a rare good goal. Kuyt kept pulling the sides to make Liverpool's frontcourt alive. Zhao Yaning and Gerrard's non-stop running also made Liverpool's frontcourt extremely energetic, which also allowed Milito to gain Quite a few opportunities.

After 45 minutes of continuous running combing in the first half, the Liverpool players also began to straighten out how to move. In the second half, shortly after the opening, Liverpool got the first chance.

After a smooth pass, Gerrard kicked the ball into the penalty area. But Kuyt greeted the ball and shot from four yards in front of the goal, but knocked on the goal post!

This almost empty goal made the players of both sides stay for a while, and Milito had already made good use of this opportunity, made it up accurately, and kicked the ball into the goal!

"Milito's supplementary shot! Kuyt should be ashamed of his shooting skills. If such a ball is not made up, he would be the sinner today."

Milito waved his arms happily. He returned from injury and scored the first goal so quickly. He was still very happy.

The support of teammates is indeed a force for improvement ~www.ltnovel.com~ and soon Kuyt found a better opportunity.

This time, after Zhao Yaning got the ball, he saw the timing and passed the ball past Dawson. Both Gerrard and Milito were in offside positions, which prevented both of them from taking the ball. The Tottenham players have raised their hands high to signal offside, but at this time, Kuyt was Behind it quickly rushed up.

Kuyt catches the ball, not offside!

In an instant, there were two people who were in an offside position. As Kuyt took the ball forward to them, three people were in a threatening position at the same time. And this time, Kuyt did not choose to pass the ball again. This opportunity was made by his own running, and he naturally had to rely on his own shot to get the goal!

Kick, push!

"Al!!! Kuyt scored a goal!!! He relied on his unremitting running to win a chance for himself and scored a goal!!!"

Kuyt let out a roar and was able to score a goal with his own playing style, which made him extremely excited! He has never been lazy in the game, and he also believes that he can score goals in this way of playing!

The role of the leader is not based on fame or salary. Zhao Yaning is now constantly helping his teammates to make them perform better. At the same time, more and more people realize this: Gerrard is the ball. The team's spiritual leader, captain, but, on the court, the most reliable and trustworthy leader on the field who can get help from him is Zhao Yaning.
