Chapter 11 Motivation and Testing
The contradiction between China and the country of sticks has a long history, and it is impossible to say why.
In fact, there is not much hatred between the two countries, but more of the jealousy of China by the stick country.
As an ancient civilization, China has a long history, and many things that have been handed down are well-known to the world, many of which are recognized by the world.
But the stick country doesn't think so, when it encounters good things, it has to be said to be its own, and it is eager to say that China is its predecessor.
Naturally, the Chinese people are super unhappy with this, and they have repeatedly fought back, and then contradictions often break out, which also leads to many contradictions between the two countries in many fields.
Football is a microcosm.
But then again, China is the most populous country in the world, but the level of the football team is really a bit embarrassing.
The football of the stick country is not particularly strong, but how to say it, it is not weaker than the Chinese team, and the two countries can still be slightly better in the battle. Every time there is a football match between the two countries, the scolding war between the two countries will be overwhelming, even more fierce than the football game......
This is the background.
It is said that the Chinese football team is burdened with the expectations of more than one billion Chinese people, and sometimes it really does not give the Chinese people a long face. At the beginning of the battle of the baseball, the decline has already been revealed, and it was completely pressed and beaten, and there were almost no bright spots in the whole game.
Halfway through the game, Zhang Jie had already given up hope, and could only think, don't lose too badly!
The end whistle sounded.
There are countless Chinese people who smash keyboards and mice, and Zhang Jie almost contributed his part. But looking at the newly bought keyboard, Zhang Jie endured it.
Shame on you! Why did he let the country of sticks be destroyed, and why did he let the sticks mock him.
Sleepless, Zhang Jie's whole chest felt filled with something. To be honest, Zhang Jie is a little patriotic, but it has not risen to the noble level of giving up personal interests for the sake of national interests. But at this moment, Zhang Jie really couldn't congratulate him on all he had to support the Chinese team to win the stick team, just for shame!
But Zhang Jie also knows that this goal is too far away, at least for his former self, it is out of reach. Perhaps, now that I have the ability, I can shorten that distance?
From this moment on, Zhang Jie began to really want to advance towards the goal, and began to really try to use his abilities to help achieve this goal.
The next day.
The players on the training ground are a little silent, although it is not themselves who lose, but for these people who love football, they really would rather lose than lose the Chinese football team to the stick team, which is a cruel reality that cannot be accepted no matter what.
Zhang Jie, who finished the basic training, took the initiative to find the captain Li Feng. In the past, Zhang Jie didn't have such a clear goal, but he felt that it was OK to learn slowly and practice slowly. But now, Zhang Jie can't wait to go to the battlefield in one day.
"Brother Feng, I want to really join the team!"
Li Feng hesitated and said, "After watching yesterday's ball game, I can understand your feelings and thoughts. But football is not something that you can play with enthusiasm, otherwise it would be a great time for China and football to become like this. Your foundation is still too poor, practice for a while. ”
Zhang Jie knew that he would react like this, and there were not too many surprises, but he still insisted: "Brother Feng, I am not untargeted, and I will not drag down the team." I haven't told you before, what I'm best at is goalkeeping, give me a chance and let me prove it to you. If you see it, please give me a chance, even if it's a substitute seat, and I'll prove that I'm useful with my actions!"
Having said that, Li Feng knew that he couldn't refute his face anymore, but he still didn't have any hope for him. Just kidding, who has ever heard of a football player who became a talent in one day? But Li Feng was still ready to give him a chance.
It's an opportunity, but it's actually a test. Since Zhang Jie said that what he is best at is goalkeeping, it is still the simplest, penalty kick. There is no limit to how many you have to have, just let him do it, and then everyone will judge it. No one thought he would be able to catch a few.
To be honest, Zhang Jie is actually not too sure about catching a few balls, and with the lesson of the last time, Zhang Jie knows that he still has a long way to go from being a real goalkeeper. But what he's betting on is that his judgment (in fact, his ability to predict) will attract everyone's attention and never get enough attention.
Facts have proved that Zhang Jie's judgment is still very accurate, aiming at the first point. It's true that he still doesn't get the ball very easily...... It's like no matter how many books you read and learn about cooking from them, you still can't cook without practice. Zhang Jie, who has suffered a loss before, knows that goalkeepers rely not only on judgment, but also on some necessary physical and psychological qualities. Of course, being able to predict accurately is also the most important, if you can.
After seeing Zhang Jie accurately judge the direction of the ball more than ten times in a row, Li Feng, including everyone, was a little dumbfounded, although the number of successful interceptions was still limited, but this was enough to amaze everyone. Unexpectedly, this kid is really a goalkeeper's seedling. Of course, at present, it can only be a seedling, and for the goalkeeper, no matter how accurate the judgment is, it is useless if he can't pounce.
But this kind of performance is enough to make everyone pay attention to this future goalkeeper seedling. So, as Zhang Jie wished, he successfully became the substitute goalkeeper - the third goalkeeper. Moreover, Li Feng also began to focus on taking him to start some goalkeeper-related special training, focusing on his weaknesses and strengthening training.
One step closer to the goal, Zhang Jie thought to himself.
The days passed day by day, and more than a month passed like this, during which Zhang Jie still did not get any chance to play. It's just that if there is another competition in the future, he can already participate in the centralized team training. And in the daily confrontation competition, he also occasionally participates. What's more, now he can finally make some goal interceptions smoothly, but the success rate is still not high, at least he is still the third among the three goalkeepers.
Zhang Jie was not discouraged, he knew that his disadvantages were too obvious, and they could not be made up by one or two days of hard work, at least three or four days......
As the number of confrontations increased, Zhang Jie gained a new understanding and use of his abilities. In the past, Zhang Jie's ability was to judge the direction of the ball, and then find a way to save the ball. However, on the one hand, it is difficult to grasp the strength of the ball, and on the other hand, there are great requirements for reaction speed, so although the direction of the ball is judged accurately, there are still many times when it cannot be intercepted.
After repeated practice, Zhang Jie thought of the point of the problem. The ability you found is a prediction of a short-lived future, so isn't that a bit of a misuse of your ability?
For example, if you judge the momentum of the ball, can you go one step further and predict how you will stand, how to make a successful save in an accurate and timely manner?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jie suddenly thought of Nicola Cage's "Foreseeing the Future", in the play, he seems to be able to use a variety of possible predictions and deductions for the future to make correct judgments (the most obvious part of the pickled girl), and it seems that he can also imitate it.
Zhang Jie found Li Feng again, such a request, in the face of the current Zhang Jie, Li Feng agreed to be obviously much more neat than before, without him, Zhang Jie did win part of everyone's trust.
So, move on to the penalty kicks......
Zhang Jie used his abilities to deduce and judge step by step according to his assumptions, but the start was not good. It's not that his deduction and judgment are bad, but he simply doesn't have time to deduce and judge. Unlike in the game, the timing of the penalty kick is fast, and often the goal has already been scored at the beginning of the deduction here.
Could it be that this road is not going to work? Zhang Jie was a little frustrated.
