Qin Xiong intended to continue to practice free kicks. As for the lift ball, he was just like Louis Van Gaal said, just a beginner.
First of all, the goal of a free kick was to shoot the ball into the goal.
Secondly, the trajectory of the football's flight would encounter at least two obstacles. First, the physical block of the defender, and second, the goalkeeper's save.
Therefore, Qin Xiong could only kick the football out of an irregular trajectory. In a situation where even he was not familiar with it, his next training was to first ensure that the football could hit the goal range, and then through repeated practice to control the flight trajectory of the football and improve the accuracy.
This was not a day's work, and there was no shortcut. It had to rely on day after day of training.
But Louis Van Gaal interrupted his plan and asked him to pick up the football scattered on the field and then follow him.
Qin Xiong did not ask. If he still had to ask in front of Louis Van Gaal and insisted on training here, then there must be something wrong with his head.
Louis Van Gaal took Qin Xiong to his office. He stood in front of a tactical board and asked Qin Xiong to sit in a chair and face the tactical board.
"Qin Xiong, you have a very good foundation, physical fitness, and football skills. You also have a very outstanding team spirit. However, you still don't have a sufficient understanding of real professional football, especially high-level top-level competitions. In the following days, outside of training, come to me. I will help you understand Dutch football and European football faster."
Qin Xiong heard and nodded solemnly.
He understood that such an opportunity did not come easily.
As for why Louis Van Gaal would train him alone, he did not ask.
He was a very realistic person.
Louis Van Gaal must have done this because he hoped that Qin Xiong could improve his strength as soon as possible. In this way, Qin Xiong would rather focus his attention and study seriously, using the most efficient growth to repay Louis Van Gaal. This was the result that Louis Van Gaal wanted to see the most.
Louis Van Gaal said with a serious face, "First of all, you have to realize that there is a huge gap between the football you play and the games you experience in both the training matches and the Youth League matches. What I'm talking about is not the difference in the strength of the players on the field, but the training matches and the Youth League. Compared to the Professional League, the games are in a semi-static state, but in the real top-level games, the games are flowing!"
Qin Xiong frowned slightly, as if he did not quite understand Louis Van Gaal's words.
Van Gaal drew a 433 formation on the tactical board and said, "The semi-static state I'm referring to is that in the youth league you're in, the formation of the majority of the teams represents the technical and tactical system. The forwards, midfielders, and defenders are each responsible for their own areas. Every role has its own role and does not cross the line. From the beginning to the end, they are fixed in their own areas and roles. But what about the real top-level games? You'll see the forwards switching positions with each other, the midfielders frequently plugging in from the back, and the full-backs assisting almost the same as the wingers, not to mention the forwards retreating and the midfielders assisting in the defense. In the ongoing process of the game, a player can be in the full-back's defensive area one second to complete the defense, and in the next second, he can suddenly plug in to complete the striker's task! "
Qin Xiong understood and immediately nodded in acknowledgment.
To put it simply, the Youth League lacked more variety. In fact, it was also limited by the players' abilities. It could be physical fitness, experience, or teamwork. In short, compared to the real top-level games, these were two completely different concepts.
Louis Van Gaal continued, "There is no doubt about the Dutch football's position in the world. We've promoted the third revolution of the world's football techniques and tactics. Do you understand what it means to have an all-out attack and all-out defense?"
Qin Xiong nodded first, then shook his head.
He was not quite sure if his understanding was correct.
Louis Van Gaal drew some shoulders on the tactical board, and each point had a backward arrow. He said, "Nowadays, a lot of football laymen misuse the term 'all-out attack and all-out defense'. In fact, even when we were training the players, Ajax did not dare to use all-out attack and all-out defense as the team's technical tactics. You should have noticed that in the mouths of every youth coach, we'll say, 'Today, we'll play an offensive formation.' But we'll never say, 'Today, we'll play an all-out attack and all-out defense.' Even so, you should remember how the coach asked you to take on the defensive role. "
Qin Xiong said, "Overall, defensive, pressure, and change."
These four points were the essence of Ajax's defensive training. The first point was overall. Every player had to participate in the defense. This was the most basic.
Louis Van Gaal nodded and said, "That's right. Every player is asked to participate in the defense, and we're mainly in the offensive formation. However, we won't say that we're playing an all-out attack and all-out defense strategy. Do you know why?"
Qin Xiong looked puzzled. Actually, this was what he was unsure of just now.
From a literal understanding of all-out attack and all-out defense, Ajax's training requirements were already "all-out attack and all-out defense."
Louis Van Gaal said, "If you think that all the players are involved in both offense and defense, then what's so special and redeeming about the all-out attack and all-out defense strategy created by the Netherlands? In fact, there's no club in the whole of the Netherlands that can perfectly execute such a technique and tactic. This is because the requirements for the players are too high. It requires at least seven world-class players to be able to realize it. A true all-out attack and all-out defense requires the players to reach a high level of both offense and defense in terms of technique, physical fitness, and teamwork. Then, when 11 such players are formed together, they can change their roles and positions at will. On the field, you don't have to think about where you're standing at the start of the game or what position you're playing. During the game, you're in the midfield, and you're the midfielder. You chase back, and you participate in the defense. When there's an opportunity, you rush up and you're the striker! Other than the goalkeeper, the other 10 players can maintain a balanced offensive and defensive system while constantly changing their roles and positions. This is the true all-out attack and all-out defense! "
Qin Xiong understood immediately. He suddenly understood.
He could imagine the power of the all-out attack and all-out defense that Louis Van Gaal talked about. It would be a magnificent scene.
When the midfielder could frequently change positions with the striker, and the striker could complete the task of organizing the connection in the midfield, the midfielder could perfectly replace the striker to complete the task of scoring. Just the repeated attacks in the half of the field could dazzle the opponent and make them lose their target frequently. Then, with the defenders constantly plugging in, changing positions horizontally, and changing the direction of the attack, such an attack was simply impossible to guard against.
However, just as Louis Van Gaal said, there were almost no teams that could perform a true all-out attack and all-out defense.
Not only did it require a player to have the adaptability and technical ability of the three positions of defender, midfielder, and striker, but it also required 10 such players to be able to cooperate perfectly!
Taking a step back, even if it was just the attributes of two positions, it was harder than ascending to the heavens to assemble a team.
Moreover, with the increasingly fierce competition in football, most of the world-class players on the field had only one attribute: world-class strikers, world-class midfielders, and world-class defenders. If these world-class players were to play positions that they were not familiar with and take on roles that they were not good at, they might not be able to perform at world-class level!
Louis Van Gaal gave Qin Xiong a short time to digest, and then said, "The reason why I'm telling you this is to let you understand how the most threatening offense is formed. The current tactics in the Youth League are rigid and fixed, mainly to improve the player's individual ability. I think that what you need now is to improve your team's tactics and thinking. Although all-out attack and all-out defense is impossible to achieve, in a top-level competition, the changing of roles and positions occurs frequently in a mobile game, and this is also the source of the greatest threat of offense. The teammates around you now may not be able to cooperate with you because of their abilities, but it does not mean that your teammates will be the same in the future. Now, you have to be prepared to understand the core of advanced tactics and ideas, and be mentally prepared for the big stage in the future. I can tell you seriously that if you only limit yourself to the current thinking of playing football, your future will be limited because football games are ever-changing. The changes in your team, the changes in your opponents, and especially you, as a midfielder, have to constantly make the most correct decisions in the midst of constant adaptations, and quickly change your thinking in the process of suppressing the opponent or resisting the opponent's suppression!"
Qin Xiong nodded fiercely. This was the most fundamental reason why he had traveled thousands of miles to the Netherlands.
He wanted to become stronger!
From that day onwards, Qin Xiong would receive Louis Van Gaal's guidance in private after every training session. Before the actual game, Louis Van Gaal wanted Qin Xiong to not only be mentally prepared, but also to achieve the effect of reading thousands of sails, broaden his horizons, and improve his ability to read the game!
