The strongest blade in football

Chapter 70
If you want to have more playing time, you must impress the coach in training.

The training during the winter break is different from usual. The biggest difference is the special training for the players.

Due to sufficient time, the coaching staff designed different special exercises for all the main players and rotation players of the first team.

The coach arranged Wang Nuo and Ma Baokani together.

After the tactical lesson, they stand on the side of the goal, and when the goalkeeper is in position, the ball will come to them from all directions.

Wang Nuo and Mabokani need to shoot non-stop after a single touch, one after another, and can never leave the penalty area.

Assistant coach Preto yelled at them, "This is the area you rule, this is where you should stay, speed up, shoot, shoot, shoot!"

Before Wang Nuo had time to think about why he was suddenly regarded as a center forward, the balls came flying one by one.

He needs to shoot 300 times in total, 50 times in exchange for a 1-minute rest. For every 3 consecutive goals that miss the target, he has to practice 10 more goals.

Mabaokani is one of the top shooters in Bijia. He has superb shooting skills. He has already finished training under the same rules and went to take a shower, but Wang Nuo is half dead from exhaustion and is still halfway to completing the goal.

Boloni came over, looked at it for a while, and said, "If you want to become a nuclear weapon in the frontcourt in an absolute sense, your shooting skills must be well polished."

Wang Nuo was exhausted and out of breath, but that didn't prevent him from joking with the coach, "I can pass the goalkeeper and hit the goal, so my hit rate will be 100%."

Boloni shook his head, "You haven't played against the back line of a really strong team. You can do it in the middle and lower reaches of the Ligue [-], but our goal is the league championship and the European arena."

"I'm going to take the winger mentality out of your body and beat it out," Boloni said.

"Okay, boss."

Wang Nuo is now also starting to use other people's titles for coaches.

"When necessary, you are the center forward. At that time, I don't need any Belgian style. I don't care if you pass to me and I pass to you. I don't care about it."

"If you are asked to change positions at that time, you only need to score goals, and you must have the consciousness of a finisher."

"Cristiano is a living example. Even top players like him are starting to pursue a practical and efficient way of playing. You should know how to do it."

After Boloni finished speaking, he watched Wang Nuo miss three goals in a row, so he walked aside, leaving Wang Nuo to continue to sweat profusely.

Wang Nuo understood Boloni's meaning, just as he understood Weitante's meaning a few months ago.

The only difference is that Witt Ante emphasizes passing, while Boloni emphasizes shooting sights.

Wang Nuo prefers to play the role of destroying the city in the offense. He has always believed that ball control and dribbling are an art and what he is best at.

Dribbling has always been Wang Nuo's way of showing himself. With those skills, he was able to become an indispensable member of Standard Liege in just one month.

Most viewers love those little tricks.

Whenever Wang Nuo uses them, there will be compliments like "Wow, look at that guy!"

Moreover, what makes Wang Nuo even more difficult is that the sight of shooting is not developed overnight, and his footwork is not bad, but it is not as good as Ma Baokani.

Wang Nuo guessed that his current special practice may be related to the national derby with Anderlecht on January 1, and his position may have changed.

The team's training during the winter break has always revolved around preparations for the next league game.

It's rare for Standard Liege to spend a lot of time preparing for a team, but Anderlecht are definitely The Special One!

Anderlecht is currently in a hot state, ranking first in the league. It has been unbeaten in the past 9 rounds of the Ligue 3. It just defeated Ajax 1-[-] in the European arena half a month ago.

They play 4312 this season, and their offensive power is the best in the league. The team's top talented forward Lukaku turned out to be born, and they also have two strong high center forwards De Suter and Flotos, so that they can always score easily. Beat your opponent.

In order to win Anderlecht at home, Bologna made a lot of arrangements.

One is the adjustment of the position of the back line. He pushed the back line of the standard Liege back to compress the distance between the back and the goalkeeper in the defensive state.

Maintain a tight layering between players.

The second is the consistency of pace in the backcourt. Since Anderlecht's frontcourt press is very good, Boloni requires the back to either directly play a long pass, or must pay attention to the position of his teammates and be ready to respond at any time.

Third, the flexible use of defensive counterattacks. Liege seldom plays defensive counterattacks. During the winter break, targeted training is carried out on this, and it also includes how to effectively counterattack the opponent's counterattacks.

Fourth, the use of width, the full-backs and wingers on both sides require more quick transfers and oblique long passes in the preparation training for this game, and strive for local numerical advantages.

After formulating the plan, it was meticulous and hard training. After careful consideration, Boloni put Wang Nuo on the bench to act as a super nuclear weapon.

He told Wang Nuo, "They have a hole card, Lukaku, but they will only use it in the second half. You are also Liege's hole card. I decided to let you attack the opponent's tired defense when you are most energetic."

Language is an art. Wang Nuo doesn't know whether Boloni's true thoughts are as he said, but he believes in the coach's arrangement.

The winter break training passed day by day. On January 1th, Standard Liege ushered in a friendly opponent——

Marseille is also preparing for the battle in this small mountain village!

The two sides basically focused on drills and did not engage in particularly intense collisions.

Wang Nuo played for 45 minutes. This was also the first time he saw how a Ligue [-] team played, and it was also the first time he played against higher-level players.

Wang Nuo had two excellent chances in the half game, but they failed to break through the gate guarded by Mandanda.

His brightest moment was in an attack. One-on-two broke through the double pinching of Hilton and Mbia, which aroused applause from the coaching staff of both sides.

In addition, before the end of halftime, he had another beautiful cross, but unfortunately no one grabbed the point and the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

There was a big rotation in the second half, and Wang Nuo was off.

In the end Standard Liege lost the friendly match 0-2.

Boloni didn't look angry.

The strength of Marseille under Didier Deschamps this season should not be underestimated. They have always been in the European theater of the standings.

Coincidentally, Issel had stayed in the Marseille echelon before, but he switched to Standard Liege because he couldn't get along.

Iser himself is also a fan of new Marseille coach Didier Deschamps.

This middle-aged man, who is not tall and ugly, was a legendary French midfielder when he was a player. After retiring, he led Monaco to the Champions League final and helped Juventus return to Serie A!

Definitely a great character!
Therefore, Wang Nuo made a special trip to find him after the game and asked for an autograph for his friend.

Deschamps happily agreed to Wang Nuo's request.

He has a good impression of Wang Nuo. The shooting and dribbling in the game just now were very exciting, and it was just bad luck not to score.

After signing and waiting for Wang Nuo to leave, Deschamps joked with Boloni next to him.

He said, "There are not many big men with this kind of strength and skill. How old is he this year?"

Boloni was old and cunning, and he saw that Deschamps was a little interested in Wang Nuo, so he said bluntly: "He is an undiscovered treasure of Standard Liege, not for sale."

Deschamps laughed, "That's really a pity."
