When Qiu Suhui saw Liu Peng standing at the central defender position in the training ground, he nodded with satisfaction. Although for players and coaches, the more versatile a player is, the better, and the more good he is at, the better. However, not everyone can play more than two positions. Some people can only play one position, but they can create heights that others cannot reach in this position. Qiu Suhui believes that Liu Peng is such a person, a natural central defender. However, to reach that height, he still needs hard training and guidance from a good teacher.

One-on-one defensive training is being conducted on the court, with the frontcourt players in the team taking turns to attack the defensive players. Liu Peng has a high winning rate in one-on-one. His amazing explosiveness and keen judgment often make him the winning side. However, Qiu Suhui whistled and paused the training after Liu Peng cut off the opponent's ball for the tenth time.

"Liu Peng!" Qiu Suhui walked towards Liu Peng, and he hooked away the football under a player's feet, "Come and guard against me!" After that, he dribbled the ball towards Liu Pengyun.

Seeing that the coach had already brought the ball, Liu Peng didn't bother to ask why he wanted to fight him alone. He quickly lowered his waist and set off his pose to prepare for the enemy.

The distance between the two was rapidly shortening, and Qiu Suhui just dribbled the ball in a straight line, and couldn't tell what he was going to do next. Liu Peng took the lead when the distance was right, just like before. He relied on his amazing explosive power to poke the ball between Qiu Suhui's legs!

It cannot be said that Liu Peng's foot stretching speed was slow. In fact, many of the players who had just lost to him did not see Liu Peng's movements clearly, and the ball was broken. But Qiu Suhui's movements were faster. He turned around like lightning and threw Liu Peng behind him, and the ball was still under his feet.

Qiu Suhui stepped on the ball under his feet and turned to look at Liu Peng: "Did you see what I did just now?" Liu Peng nodded: "You first pretended to break through to the other side with your right foot, but you knocked the ball from behind you to your left side, then quickly turned around, and turned back to me and use the same foot to pull the ball away from my defense range."

Qiu Suhui smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, you look at it very carefully. This is called 'Cruyff Turning' and was invented by Dutch star Cruyff."

The other team members onlookers had a slight commotion, no wonder even Liu Peng couldn't defend himself.

"Since you have seen it clearly, why haven't you stopped me?" Qiu Suhui continued to ask.

Liu Peng was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated and replied: "Because, because I just stretched out my left foot and you moved. At that time, I couldn't change my technical movements..."

"So do you think you are not as good as me in terms of reaction speed? Or, your foot is slower than my turn?"

Liu Peng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, I don't think so..."

"Haha!" Qiu Suhui laughed, "In fact, football is a strategy game full of wisdom."

The players didn't understand why the coach talked about this. Isn't he training one-on-one defense? This statement sounded very new to them, so they all listened quietly to the coach continuing.

"I want you to understand this point. Football is definitely not a fierce battle between ordinary people, but a sport that needs to think with your brain. Players need to keep their nerves on the court, analyze and decide on the situation on the court, and never think that these things are the responsibility of the coach. In fact, the angle and position of the coach are different, and the analysis and decisions generated are also different. Moreover, the coach is more about analyzing and making decisions on the overall situation. In the local area, you must make decisions by yourself. To give the simplest example, midfielders are often the brain of the team. They must know whether they should break through the dribble, pass the ball to a teammate with better position, or shoot from a long shot by themselves. Then, we call this analyzing the situation on the court and making decisions." Seeing that the players nodded and understood, Qiu Suhui continued to say down.

"Sometimes, you need to make decisions early, otherwise it is likely to delay the fighter. Especially for the striker, the opportunity in front of the goal is fleeting. Once you have a little hesitation, you will lose a goal opportunity. For the defenders, the least they are willing to fight against those who can seize every shot opportunity. But sometimes, it is better to make a decision later. This is particularly obvious in defense. Sima Hongxin!"

"Ah?" A tall man responded, he was Sima Hongxin, the main goalkeeper of Henan Central Plains Youth Team.

"Tell me, what would you do if the other party crossed?"

"Fight at the incoming ball, analyze the height and speed, and then jump up and pick the ball off when the ball passes by." Sima Hongxin's four simple sentences include the entire process of a goalkeeper observing the situation, making decisions, making decisions, and then taking action.

"Well, it's very good. That is to say, you made this decision after careful observation and judgment, that is, to stop the ball, right? Then you won't always take the initiative to intercept the cross ball in the air, right?"

Sima Hongxin felt that this new coach was a little annoyed. Do you still need to ask about this kind of thing? I really don’t know how this coach was, but he still answered honestly: “Yes, if I think the ball’s flight route is not within my control, I will not attack and get the ball, but will stay in place.”

"Verygood! Do you understand? If Sima Hongxin makes a decision too early and does not analyze and judge carefully, then if the cross is to deviate from his control, he will make mistakes when attacking, which may cause a goal conced. For the defender, delaying his decision time will be beneficial to your defense."

"But coach..." Liu Peng still had questions, "Sima can delay making decisions because the ball takes time in flight, and this period is enough for him to analyze and judge. But I am a central defender, and when I am one-on-one with the opponent, it is impossible for me to have enough time to analyze."

"Ha! Didn't you see my movements clearly just now?"

"I saw it clearly, but..."

"But why didn't you stop me?" Qiu Suhui looked at Liu Peng with a smirk.

"That's because I stretched out my left foot, and you..." Liu Peng suddenly stopped talking, and he looked at the coach as if he understood something.

"Haha!" Qiu Suhui laughed, "When one-on-one, you don't always take the initiative. When you are one-on-one with others, don't take the lead, because it's easy to be exploited. Keep a close eye on the ball, pay attention to his movements, and then make decisions. When he makes moves and is ready to break through you, that's your chance. Liu Peng, remember, you should move backwards than the attacker, but you must move faster than them! The so-called "hook backwards" is the reason."

Qiu Suhui whistled, "Okay, everyone will continue to train!" He turned around and walked out of the field.

"Prior to take action, and then to take action..." Liu Peng was still muttering this word.

Hu Li went up to see Qiu Suhui and shook his head: "Coach Qiu, I, Lao Hu, really admire you! You are indeed of good standing. It is their blessing to give these children to you!"

Qiu Suhui hugged Hu Li's shoulder and smiled: "Old Hu has been too much. A person cannot train a good team. No matter how good a coach is, he cannot train those who are not suitable for playing football as a superstar. Instead, he does his best to guide a player on the right football path, and guide him at the right time to maximize the morale of the players and make their abilities extremely successful in the game. I am still far from these. Moreover, I cannot lead a team alone. Without the joint efforts of you and other coaching staff members, the national U21 championship next year will be a dream."

"Haha...ah? Wait, what did Coach Qiu say just now? If I heard it correctly, you said that our goal is the national U21 champion?"

"Yes, if you don't win the championship, why am I here for?" Qiu Suhui looked at Hu Li with some surprise.

"But, I know the club is going to produce results, but next year... isn't it a little too fast?"

"No, I'm afraid it's too late next year. Lao Hu, I don't have much time!" Qiu Suhui turned his attention to the sky outside the training ground. The sky was gloomy. If he didn't look at the watch, he wouldn't know what time it was. The clouds were advancing to the southeast under the urging of the wind, and the sky in Zhengzhou was accumulating more and more.

"It will probably snow tomorrow..."

The snow was silent, and the first snow in Henan in winter came. Qiu Suhui did not appreciate the feeling of "the scenery of the north is frozen thousands of miles away, and the snow drifted thousands of miles away. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there were only the vastness and the rivers were surging. The mountains were dancing silver snakes, and the wax figures were originally galloping, trying to compete with the sky..." When he went out in the morning, the snow on the highway had been swept to the side of the road by early cleaning workers. The car drove past the road and could only splash a piece of dirty water, with no beauty at all.

The city is the source of all evil. Qiu Suhui missed the feeling of seeing the windmill covered with snow in the Dutch countryside. At that time, he could act as a child unscrupulously and lie in the snow and look up at the sky. Now... Qiu Suhui looked at the snow that was stained with sewage, and he didn't even lie down without giving him money.

The apartment he lives in is very close to the training ground of the youth team, and it only takes half an hour to walk. Although he has been traveling in Europe for more than ten years, he actually doesn’t have much savings. At least he chooses to walk without spending a penny between private cars, buses, bicycles and walking. In Henan dialect, it is "flying".

The benefits of running around the land are not only free, but also give Qiu Suhui more time to think about problems. If you think about problems by riding a bicycle, you will plant a ditch. People say, "Zhengzhou, Zhengzhou, dig ditches every day; if you don't dig for a day, it's not called Zhengzhou." Qiu Suhui doesn't want to use his actual actions to verify how many ditches there are in Zhengzhou. If you take a bus and think about problems, you will take a stop. It doesn't matter once or twice. If this happens every day... Qiu Suhui doesn't want to let others regard himself as a mental illness. It's even more dangerous to think about problems by driving. It's a big event that concerns life safety. If everyone dies, what are you talking about national championships? The hope of Chinese football?

Qiu Suhui once again came to his senses from his thoughts. He was already standing at the gate. Because of the snow, today's training was put indoors. Workers were nervously cleaning up the snow on the outdoor training ground. It was impossible for this ordinary youth team training ground to have geothermal facilities.

In fact, the youth team originally had no indoor training ground. Thanks to the club's goal of going to the Super League, in order to keep up with the Football Association's requirements, a large warehouse was specially converted into an indoor training ground. Although it is far worse than the indoor training bases of some European clubs, it is better than nothing.

Hu Li is leading the team members to warm up. It is especially important to warm up in winter.

Qiu Suhui has always found it strange that there is a phenomenon that exists in Europe and China. In terms of training, many coaches attach great importance to technical and tactical training, offensive routine training, defensive tactic training, and various set-piece tactic training... but they ignore the most important factor: shooting training. In their training plan, shooting training is always an accessory for some of the above trainings.

In fact, many coaches are numb and indifferent to the phenomenon of players' missed shots. You can often hear the coach say this when commenting after the game: "We performed well, but we just failed to seize the opportunity." But in fact, good performance should include seizing the opportunity. Many coaches pay more attention to how to create opportunities rather than seizing opportunities in their daily training - this is an incorrect approach in itself.

Therefore, Qiu Suhui adjusted the training of the Central Plains Youth Team and raised the shooting training to an important level. The shooting training changed from one day in the previous week to two days. Hu Li once questioned such an arrangement, believing that it was not worth spending time on shooting training, and it was better to do more tactical training or strength training.

Qiu Suhui answered him like this: "Lao Hu, I understand your worries, but the truly exciting moments in football are all contained in shooting. Both sides of the game, whether it is personal or overall tactics, are all for creating opportunities for shooting. What's the point of a game that makes the football dazzling but does not shoot? Whether it is defense or offense, they are all for the goal!"

After the warm-up, Qiu Suhui gathered the players together and briefly explained the precautions for shooting training. Then he asked Sima Hongxin to stand in front of the goal and start shooting training.

There was a ping-and-pong in the museum, which was very lively. At the end of the round, Qiu Suhui asked Hu Li to count the training situation just now. As a result, there were 24 shots in total, including four goals, and ten shots of the target goal. The other four times were either high or biased. Qiu Suhui looked at such a report card, said nothing, and waved his hand: "One more round!"

There was another hustle and bustle in the museum. This time, the total number of shots was twenty-four, three goals were scored, eight shots were shots, and the other sixteen shots were either high or biased. Qiu Suhui did not let the players continue to the next round, but gathered the players and held two statistics and raised them to everyone: "What do you think? You are all people who want to enter the first team, professional players, and there must be someone who wants to enter the national team? That's the level? A large standard goal failed to hit! Fourteen shots in the first round deviate from the target, and sixteen shots in the second round... I know that some people think that shooting is the striker's business, but I need to correct this wrong understanding now! Anyone, including the goalkeeper, must train shooting and cultivate shooting awareness. Those who have excellent scoring opportunities but pass the ball out, I won't think he is so 'selfless'! You must know that what you pass is not a ball, but responsibility! Such behavior is irresponsible!"

The team members were angry when they saw the coach getting angry for the first time, and they were all arrogant and dared not speak out. They honestly lowered their heads and were scolded.

"Don't bow your head! Everyone raises their heads and looks at me! Who knows what you are thinking when you lower your head?" Qiu Suhui shouted loudly, echoing in the museum, and the team members hurriedly raised their heads again.

"First of all, you must pay attention to shooting from the heart and develop a strong shot. Don't worry about whether you can shoot or not. If you don't shoot, you will never hit it! Then there is a technical factor. Note that the requirements for accuracy when shooting should be ranked first. I don't oppose strong shots, but before you use your hard shot, please aim your aim first. A strong shot without a correct head can only allow the caddie to exercise more. Then, when shooting, you must try to suppress the ball. Even if it is a missed shot, it is better than a missed shot. There is a chance to re-shoot again. Shooting high will only give the opponent a chance to serve the ball. Okay, start over, think about what I said in your mind, come one by one, and go five goals per person!"

So the players began shooting training outside the specified distance in the order of numbers.

Hu Li said to Qiu Suhui beside him: "Coach Qiu, you let them shoot as soon as you come up, and you don't even talk about the key points of technical movements. Of course, their shooting percentage is low."

Qiu Suhui looked at the players who were practicing shooting and replied with a smile: "Haha, I did this just to let them understand how important it is to correct their shooting attitude. Lao Hu, everyone is finished, you can tell if you go and count the results."

The result of statistics is that the shooting percentage has increased by 30% compared to just now and the number of goals has increased by 50%.

Hu Li was very surprised to see the results he had calculated by himself.

"Haha, 30% and 50%, how about it?" Qiu Suhui smiled, "Old Hu, do you know? Coaches who only conduct tactical and technical training often ignore this. Attitude is the first problem that coaches should solve during training, and other factors are behind them, and the improvement of attitude will bring the fastest and most obvious progress to the players."

"So that's it. No wonder Milu appeared on the training ground wearing his hat. The words on it were indeed very meaningful..."

"What's the matter?"

"Attitude determines everything."

Qiu Suhui looked at Hu Li, turned around and walked into the field. He clapped his hands: "Okay, everyone understands it, right? I just let your attitude change and the progress is revealed. In fact, it is not that you have poor skills and can't shoot, but that you don't want to shoot. Since everyone has corrected their attitude, I will still come one by one. I will tell you the specific technical issues..."

Seeing Qiu Suhui teaching these small players step by step how to shoot, Hu Li suddenly felt that what Qiu Suhui said yesterday was really possible, the national U21 championship...
Chapter completed!
