Perhaps in the impression of many fans, the prerequisite for becoming a superstar is to have exaggerated football talent. For example, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, as long as there is a little bit of football common sense friends, it should not be difficult to see how exaggerated Luo's football talent is. The existence of this talent, even if the training is not so hard, can still stand out.
However, impressions do not represent truth. Occasionally, there will be a few people, whose talents are not so exaggerated, but who can grow into superstars. For example, Nedved, a superstar who does not consider himself a talented person, his deeds are very representative:
Pavel Nedved was born on August 30, 1972 in the czech western city of Cheb. Probably because football is not the number one sport in the region, as a child, Nedved played football and also participated in ice hockey, gymnastics and even handball. Of course, it can also be understood that Nedved played football in addition to participating in other sports...
It is naturally beneficial to be widely involved. For example, the experience of practicing gymnastics as a child has benefited Nedved a lot, and his muscle extension ability is much stronger than that of ordinary people, which means that his probability of injury is much lower than that of ordinary players.
Despite having an advantage in muscle extension, this does not mean that Nedved's football talent can far surpass his peers. As evidence, in 1992, when Nedved, then only 20 years old, became a member of the czech veteran club Sparta Prague, he was looked down upon by his coach.
Dobbias, then Sparta bragg manager, said of Nedved: "This child has no future. He's good to play in the Czech First Division. If he is lucky enough, he may be able to sit on the bench of Sparta Prague. ”
The implication of Dobbias's words is nothing more than that Nedved's ceiling is not high, at most it is to play a Czech league, or play as a substitute in a strong team. Let me ask you, if this is not considered to be a decline, then what is a decline?
From his own coach's so despised by the 20-year-old Nedved, it is not difficult to judge what Nedved's football talent is. If Nedved had the kind of top football talent that is visible to the naked eye, what professional coach would give such an assessment?
I am afraid that among the Spartan players in Prague of the same age, Nedved's football talent is not particularly outstanding. At the very least, it's not a supernova that the team focuses on cultivating. Otherwise, what professional coach would say this about his own supernova?
Speaking of this, there may be friends who raise objections: coaches with bad eyes abound, and there are also many coaches who do not know gold and jade, is it impossible for the coach of the Spartan team in Prague to look away?
To be fair, it is difficult to say how Dobbias's vision looks. After all, there is so little information about him, and everyone just knows that there is such a coach who has looked down on the 20-year-old Nedved. According to such a being, it is indeed not rigorous to judge Whether Nedved's football talent is outstanding or not.
However, the crux of the matter is that Nedved, as a party, is also not very optimistic about his talent. The Czech tough guy once said: "I'm not the kind of player who is very talented, and when I was young, a lot of players played better than me. In order to compete with them, the only thing I can do is train harder. ”
And, although Dobbias despised the 20-year-old Nedved so much, when Nedved became famous, he did not refute or even ridicule his former mentor, but instead said conclusively: "In some ways, I feel that I owe him a lot..."
Combining the statements of Dobias and Nedved, coupled with Nedved's attitude towards Dobias, it is not difficult to judge what Nedved's football talent is. Admit it, the Czech superstar, who doesn't think he's talented, isn't an exaggeration.
Fortunately, Nedved did not give up because of this, but worked harder. In addition to the active training after the daily training, he still insisted on training during the holidays, and even the day after the game did not slacken off, even if it was difficult to get up even if it was difficult to get up, Nedved would not slack off in training.
Such a terrible amount of training even alarmed the team doctors. As a result, the team doctor had to stand up and limit the amount of training Nedved had to do.
Speaking of which, there may be some fans who are not impressed with Nedved's training, because in the eyes of many people, professional players insist on training every day, is it not a matter of course?
I have to say that some friends take it for granted. In fact, even professional players don't have to train every day. What's more, the quality of each player's training is also very different. Otherwise, there will be a bunch of out-of-shaped players as soon as the holidays come. It is with this kind of effort that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, Nedved can stand out among his peers and become the absolute main force of the team.
However, the gap in talent has more or less affected the development of Nedved. In the early middle and early stages of the Czech tough guy's career, he did not play the real tactical core. For example, in the 1996 European Championship, the czech team's most brilliant attacking player was naturally the long-haired and fluttering Bobowski, who was the same age as Nedved. By the time it came to Lazio, Nedved had played for Perón for a while, and the Argentine midfielder was younger than Nedved.
If this trend continues, I am afraid that Nedved will not win the Ballon d'Or for the rest of his career. Fortunately, Juventus was discerning and not only spent a lot of money to poach Nedved, but also entrusted the Czech midfielder with a heavy responsibility to replace Zidane's vacancy.
Although many fans and even experts have questioned Juve's thinking. After all, Nedved's style of football and Zidane's are simply two extremes. This is doomed, and between Nedved and Juventus, there will definitely be a grinding pain. In fact, when Nedved joined Juve, he did play a little awkwardly.
Fortunately, Nedved's personality was tough enough that the Czech tough guy survived. Not only did he gain a foothold at Juventus, but he also proved that he was no less powerful than Zidane's predecessor.
As evidence, in the winter of 2003, Nedved, who was 31 years old at the time, was voted the 2003 European Footballer of the Year, the Winner of the Ballon d'Or, by French Football magazine. Nedved's biggest competitor at the time was Zidane's predecessor. In other words, the 31-year-old Nedved pressed Zizoo to win the Golden Ball, dramatically.
Anyone with a little bit of football knowledge should know exactly what the Ballon d'Or means. This award has completely established Nedved's status as a jianghu, and I believe that no fan will question the superstar status of a Golden Globe winner.
It is hard to imagine that a player who does not think that his talent is not outstanding, a player who is despised by the coach at the age of 20, can actually beat Qi Zu to win the golden ball at the age of 31 and become the undisputed green superstar. I am afraid that even the most imaginative Hollywood screenwriters dare not write scripts like this.
And that's where Nedved's charm lies, and that's where football comes in. As long as you work hard enough, as long as you persist enough, even if you are an ordinary person, you have the opportunity to get ahead.
