Chapter 24 Special Training
After the defeat against Santos, the São Paulo team went through a long period of psychological recuperation. Especially Wu Qi, after learning from the pain, continued to train his strength hard, and at the same time consulted a lot of game videos.
In the last matchup, the contempt for the opponent was the root cause of the final defeat, and the second was the lack of experience. Mario is right, in the world of football, there are many opponents who are better than him. If you can't contain your opponents by uniting your teammates, you won't be able to get far.
"Wu, come here. Mario motioned for Wu Qi to go out with him.
"Where are we going?" Wu Qi asked puzzled.
"You'll know when you go. Mario put on his sunglasses.
The two arrived at an indoor soccer club.
"Brother Mario, you're here!" a man who looked to be about forty years old came over and hugged Mario, who was the owner of the club, Luke.
"Hehe, I brought a little brother over today. Mario introduced Wu Qi.
"Hello, young man!" Luke greeted Wu Qi. Wu Qi also smiled.
The trio came to the indoor venue. It is a very large indoor soccer field with more than a dozen small futsal fields. Even though it's a weekday, it's also very popular.
"You guys have to play as you please!" Luke left first.
"Goodbye brother, I'll invite you to drink when I turn around. Mario said with a smile.
"After that, the junior team did not have a competition task, and everyone rested. However, Wu Qi, you can't rest, you have to come here to practice. Mario said to Wu Qi.
"Practice here?" Wu Qi was puzzled.
"That's right. Next up is your training ground here. Mario pointed to the middle of the arena full of spectators.
Wu Qi knew something about futsal, but the confrontation in front of him surprised him very much. The confrontation between the two sides can be described as dazzling. Due to the limitations of the five-a-side system, the two sides relied more on individual skills to play against each other. It's like a half-court bullfight on a basketball court, which often becomes a one-man show.
These people reminded Wu Qi of Neymar. Momentary thinking, bold movements, dexterous pace, great sense of rhythm, imaginative passing and shooting.
"If it's in the senior team, I'm definitely not going to let my players learn these things because they don't work. Football matches are won by tactical execution. ”
"However, learning these things has helped you a lot now. He will work on your skills, your reflexes, and your choices in difficult situations. You know, all of Brazil's champions come from the grassroots five-a-side. ”
"Let's go up and play, let go. Mario lit a cigar on the side.
To be honest, Wu Qi is still a little uncomfortable playing in front of so many people, and he is not good at five-a-side.
"Boy, you want to play, don't you? This field requires a deposit. A man with a fierce face shouted at Wu Qi.
"Count me in, thanks!" said Mario to the man.
"Oh, Brother Mario!
Gambling is a common phenomenon in Brazil. For example, in a five-a-side court, there are a lot of live betting matches. Every club usually has a professional five-a-side team to sit on the court, and the players who come to play are also teamed. Of course, you can play solo, but the bet will pay the same share, and there will be other teams asking for you. Obviously, Mario is very famous in this area, and the people he brings with him are naturally treated.
Although not as cool as them, Wu Qi's calm style and accurate prediction quickly won the recognition of his teammates.
Under the influence of this general environment, Wu Qi gradually let go of his hands and feet, and began to try actions that he had never dared to do before.
Wu Qi now understands why Neymar is so thin, but his physical strength is so good, and his physical confrontation ability is not bad.
Don't underestimate futsal, don't think that the field is small and easy to kick. In fact, futsal is fast-paced, attacking and defending often in a split second, and it is also physically demanding.
A Marseille slalom out of space and shot!
"Boy, yes!" everyone was impressed by the boy with the oriental face.
After a day of training, Wu Qi tried a lot of movements that he usually didn't dare to do, and soon mingled with the people in the five-a-side club.
Go back to dinner!
"The following is a news from the World Young Cup. In the final round of the group stage held this afternoon, the Chinese national junior team equalized with No. 9 Xue Gang's header in stoppage time, and successfully entered the knockout round with four points from three games......"
Wu Qi stopped the food he was about to put in his mouth, and he listened carefully.
Xue Gang......
"That's right, it's Xue Gang! He actually joined the national junior team!!" Wu Qi was extremely excited after hearing the news. First, I was happy for the victory of the national junior team, and I was even more proud of Xue Gang. Unexpectedly, he has entered the national team!
However, thinking of this, Wu Qi was a little disappointed.
At the beginning, the two had a common football dream, and at this moment, Wu Qi hoped to fight for the country, and Xue Gang is now in the national team. Think about whether he can renew his contract after the expiration of his contract now that he is far away in Brazil, the uncertain future of Sao Paulo, and the impact that Mal caused to himself some time ago. These problems were intertwined, which made Wu Qi upset.
"Let's go, let's find a fun game to play together. "It's Sintani.
Recently, the team gave everyone two weeks off, and everyone only maintained regular training, usually in class or in the dormitory. Most of the players came out of the slums, so how could they concentrate on their studies? For teenage boys, video games are naturally very appealing.
"Well, let's go. After seeing his partner, Wu Qi didn't want to worry about this, so he decided to go back with Sintani.
"Look, be careful! Wow, this ball is very similar to Wu Qi, the world wave you scored last time is it ?!!" Sintani celebrated wildly after scoring in the game.
"Yes, yes, but Wu Qi's goal is even more handsome!" everyone teased Sintani.
"Cut!" Sintani picked up the controller and continued playing.
Everyone had a great time.
Wu Qi saw the team emblem of São Paulo hanging on the wall, as well as the group of like-minded partners in front of him, and a strong sense of belonging arose.
Have a good rest today, and fight again tomorrow in five-a-side!
