Chapter 317 What kind of striker do you want to be?

Gao Yuyang was replaced in the No.60 minute of the game.

Four joys in one hour, this is the report card he handed over to the new coach in Emery's first game in charge.

Emery came up to give him a high five and said with a smile: "It's not perfect, but it's not bad, Gao, now go to rest."

Gao Yuyang was stunned for a moment, but he felt relieved after thinking about it. The opponent was too weak, let alone the head coach. He didn't have much interest in playing on the court. It would be more perfect if the opponent was stronger.

In the end, Paris beat Paris FC with a score of 8:1. This can only be regarded as a game for Emery to test the team's offensive lineup, and it does not even have reference value from the team level.

However, from the player level, Emery still found many problems.He is not worried about the running-in and integration of the team, which can be resolved with time.The most urgent task now is to find Gao Yuyang.

After several days of continuous observation, Emery also noticed that Gao Yuyang had the habit of training himself extra, and after asking Coach Kamara, he realized how hardworking Gao Yuyang is.

So Emery became interested. After the team's training, he was not in a hurry to get off work. He even stayed with Coach Kamara and stood on the sidelines to watch Gao Yuyang give himself a small talk with great interest.

Training alone, Gao Yuyang practiced most of the set ball. When he first started learning, Endo Yasuhito, the old captain of Gamba, told him that this is a skill that needs to be learned frequently.

Bang bang bang!

A series of dull voices sounded, and the two coaches stood on the sidelines, watching the training in front of Gao Yuyang.

"This kid is the most professional player I have ever seen." Coach Kamara said with a smile: "He practiced like this when he was in the B team, Unai. Head, haha!"

Emery looked at him and smiled: "I have never questioned his high finishing ability. As far as the level of finishing is concerned, he is already a top-level striker in Europe, but it is only the finishing ability, nothing more."

Coach Kamara didn't understand: "Isn't that enough? A striker with such a terrifying scoring efficiency is enough to become a nightmare for all defenders."

"As a player who was born as a defender, I can understand your point of view very well, Zumana." Emery continued with a smile: "But I think he can do far more than you can see."

Emery walked into the field and yelled, interrupting Gao Yuyang's extra practice.

Gao Yuyang turned his head: "Coach, are you still there?"

"Aren't you there too? Gao." Emery smiled: "I see that you seem to have the habit of practicing more every day, can you tell me how you developed this?"

There is nothing that cannot be said, Gao Yuyang simply mentioned how he was fucked by his father when he was a child.

Emery laughed after hearing this: "Your father is a very qualified professional player. Generally speaking, players who are good at training themselves can go further than others, but this is not enough. High, and training is also good. You need to pay attention to skills. In the limited time, you must really improve the shortcomings of this position. For example, why are you practicing more positioning skills?"

"In order to be able to break through the dense defense, such as when my height and speed cannot be used." Gao Yuyang answered truthfully.

Emery was a little surprised, he didn't expect this young man to be aware of his problem: "It's not too high, and you need to find the right method for extra training, such as set-pieces... Most teams will give set-pieces to midfielders Take the penalty, including me. I can tell you this, if there is a second option, I would rather let you go to the penalty area to grab points or seek opportunities for supplementary shots, rather than directly take the set kick."

Gao Yuyang was stunned: "So, coach, what should I do?"

Emery took a step closer and stood in front of Gao Yuyang with his hands behind his back: "Before that, you have to seriously answer my question: Gao, what kind of striker do you want to be?"

For a moment Gao Yuyang didn't know how to answer, subconsciously he wanted to say that he could score goals, but he thought the head coach definitely didn't want to hear this, now that he can score goals very well, he tried hard to think what else he couldn't do.

It seems... nothing?

"Haha! You must be thinking about being a striker who can score goals, right?"

Gao Yuyang was taken aback. Can this head coach read minds?

In fact, it is not at all, but Emery is deeply aware of the psychology of young players. Although Gao Yuyang is very capable, he is also a young player fundamentally.

He looked at Gao Yuyang and said: "I noticed that your active area is all concentrated in the middle of the front of the goal. You can either find opportunities to face the goal and use your strengths, or pass the ball to your teammates... This is not enough, Gao. As a striker , which will limit your functionality."

Gao Yuyang quickly said: "If necessary, I can also participate in the defense."

Emery smiled more: "That's even more absurd, Gao. You are a striker and your only duty is to score goals. I have never heard of a defensive striker who can become a top player.

In fact, Gao, have you ever thought about expanding your range of activities?For example, run laterally to both sides while the attack in the center is blocked, and play the role of a winger? "

Gao Yuyang was completely taken aback. He had to say that he hadn't thought about it at all—the most important thing was that he really wasn't very good at it.But I have to find a plausible reason: "But coach, if you do this, I am afraid it will affect the team's offensive efficiency."

"That's my job." Emery said with a smile: "I watched your Champions League knockout match against Manchester City last season, and I have to say that if you do what I say, a mere Delph can't restrain you at all. More The important thing is that if you develop in this way, frankly I can see your ceiling, high, at most you will become Karim Benzema, or an enhanced version of Giroud with better finishing ability. "

Gao Yuyang blinked, and his eyes lit up after thinking about it.

The level of Benzema and Giroud is not low. This is still my current upper limit. Since the head coach said so, there must be a way to become stronger.

"If you can expand your range and output offensive firepower in different positions, high, maybe you will become the only striker in the world. Your upper limit will not be an enhanced version of anyone, and all forwards are just weakened versions of you."

To be honest, Gao Yuyang is a little moved, not because of Emery's "upper limit theory". Professional players are very pragmatic, and Gao Yuyang never becomes a daydreamer with an unclear future.

What really touched his heart was that Emery mentioned the battle with Manchester City last season.I still can't let go of it, Gao Yuyang has always looked down on the small guard, but was embarrassed by a small man who cameo.

Just not mentioning it doesn't mean the shame will be over.

"Okay, I'm willing to try, Coach."

Emery smiled. With Gao Yuyang's attitude, he can also improve the team's offensive system.
