  The Dutch forward had never played in the front line before, he started from a sweeper, to a centre-back, and then to an attacking midfielder, his position has been constantly advancing, which is enough to prove that all coaches who have coached him can easily find one thing on him, that is the potential sense of route judgment.

  Every top player has something that sets them apart, and Van Nistelrooy's late blooming career is a testament to the innate sense of smell for goal-scoring routes that he was born with, which made all head coaches feel that it would be a waste for him to play as a defensive player.

  But now, the strongest killer in Europe for the next few years is standing awkwardly in front of him, which makes Yang Cheng feel a sense of pride and confidence from the bottom of his heart.

  "I heard that you once drove 200 kilometers to Amsterdam to watch a Borgkamp match?" Yang Cheng gestured for Van Nistelrooy to sit down in front of him, asking with a smile as if chatting with an old friend.

  Vanney nodded, "At that time, I thought I should strengthen myself under the head coach of Dumbos."

  "What did you see?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.

  "Details, one by one, and his runs, and his ball control, of course, including his shooting technique." Van Nistelrooy's concise answer showed that he was very impressed with Bergkamp.

  In the era of Van der Bom, Van Nistelrooy was a center forward. When watching Bergkamp play, he naturally noticed the elements that corresponded to his own position and believed that shooting technique should not be overemphasized.

  "Have you ever watched Van Basten's game?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

  Fan Ni nodded and said: "Of course, but not many!"

  Yang Cheng stood up from his seat, slowly walked away from the office desk, and said while walking: "I heard that when Eindhoven brought Ronaldo from Brazil, the first special training the club arranged for him was shooting technique training. Do you know why?"

  Vannico had never heard of this rumor and immediately shook his head.

  "The reason is simple, they think Ronaldo's shooting technique is not Europeanized enough, not efficient enough, but for a former striker, scoring efficiently is the most valuable way to prove one's existence!"

  "South American players all have a common flaw, that is being too casual. Although they are full of spirit and creativity, they lack rigor and discipline, which is also reflected in their shooting style. They pursue casualness too much, so they can still use their cleverness and creativity to create opportunities and score goals even when faced with three or four defenders!"

  However, they may also make mistakes and miss some easy shooting opportunities, thus wasting scoring chances. Therefore, after digging up Ronaldo in Eindhoven, the first special training was to teach him a rigorous and standardized European striker's shooting technique while ensuring that he maintained his South American flair!

  Yang Cheng was very clear in his mind that this is the general trend, looking at the development of football over the next decade or so, Maradona and Romario-style South American forwards are becoming fewer and farther between, while more and more European forwards known for their efficiency are emerging. Even among South American forwards like Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Batistuta, and Crespo, there is a rigorous shooting technique characteristic of European forwards.

  Ronaldo is a perfect combination of South American style shooting and European style shooting, but what kind of shooting is he best at?

  The right foot instep shot, with a bit of inside spin, is also the most proficient way for many efficient forwards, because this European-style shooting method is simple and practical, with a high success rate!

  Of course, the casual shooting style of South American players is not bad either. For example, Romário's shots are completely random and unpredictable, no one can guess what he will do next, to the point where Cruyff commented: The only way to defend against Romário is to minimize your team's conceded goals, because you can never stop him from scoring!

  But there's only one Romário! And an unrepeatable one at that!

  Fan Ni listened as Yang Cheng introduced this string of secrets he had never heard before, and suddenly felt very interested.

  "In my impression, the European striker with the best shooting technique is Van Basten. You can watch all his game highlights and shooting specials, his shooting action is very standardized, especially in terms of footwork control when shooting, he knows very clearly what kind of shooting situation to use what kind of shooting action, which part of the foot to use, etc."

  Yang Chen said, arriving here, he just came to Van Nistelrooy's side, and patted his shoulder heavily. "I guess, in your heart, you must have always been very curious, why did I say that you are a center forward as soon as you arrived at the team? But I think you're suitable for being a center forward, not because you and Van Basten both are 1.88 meters tall, but because from the first glance at you, I saw many shadows of Van Basten on your body!"

  Fan Ni was shocked and suddenly lifted her head, staring at Yang Cheng in disbelief.

  The latter stared at Vanni and said word by word: "You absolutely have the potential to become the second Van Basten, the key is whether you believe me or not!"

  Even before Yang Chen's previous life, when Van Nistelrooy was still in the Netherlands, he had already been hailed by Dutch fans as the new Van Basten, so it is not excessive for Yang Chen to say this now.

  "I have already worked out a rigorous technical special training program with the coaching staff, as well as supplementary training outside of regular training. If you believe in me, then from today on, you will undergo my all-around special training. I am confident that you will make tremendous progress in the near future and become one of the most feared forwards, becoming the new Van Basten!"

  "Of course, I'm a very democratic person. If you don't believe what I say, then I won't interfere. You can play in any position that suits you best, including midfield. And I won't mention this matter again. However, I will only feel regret because the world of football will lose one of its top-level goal-scorers!"

  Van Nistelrooy stared at his coach in shock from start to finish, because in his life, no one had ever given him such high praise, actually comparing him to Dutch legend Van Basten. To know that many people now discuss more about the successor of Van Basten is Kluivert.

  This Ajax youngster, who has already made a name for himself in Europe, and Van Nistelrooy were born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but their fortunes have been vastly different, to the point where Van Nistelrooy often jokingly refers to his own lack of success with a mixture of envy and resentment.

  But now, Yang Cheng told him with an unprecedentedly sincere and confident tone that he had the strength to shoulder or even surpass Cruyff, and he had the ability to take over Van Basten. This suddenly plunged him into a complex emotion of excitement and anxiety.

  In his mind, there seemed to be two people, one constantly saying it's impossible, the other constantly saying everything is possible!

  Is there such a possibility?

  Yang Chen quietly returned to his seat and sat down, leisurely looking at Fan Ni who was hesitant to make a decision. He knew that Fan Ni's heart must be in doubt at this moment, so he was happy to give him some time to let him digest what he had just said.

  Sometimes, the transformation of top players often comes from a change in concept, and then it's like an unbridled dragon, unstoppable!

  Fan Ni hesitated for about 5 minutes before opening her eyes and staring at Yang Cheng.

  "Have you made a decision?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

  Fanny gritted her teeth and nodded: "Alright, head, I'll listen to you!"
