At five o'clock in the morning, it was already dawn, and Wu Qi rode to Xue Gang's house. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Woo !!" A big yellow dog rushed out of the yard! Wu Qi didn't have time to dodge, so he quickly got out of the car and protected him with a bicycle. The big yellow dog was aggressive and kept yelling at Wu Qi.

"Go back!" Xue Gang trotted out all the way. The big yellow dog still didn't give up, but when he saw the owner coming, he wagged his tail and barked at Wu Qi, the picture was quite funny.

"What kind of dog does anyone have, what does your dog eat, such a big one" Wu Qi put down the bicycle and patted the rust on his body.

"Eat! You're so cowardly, if it's me, I'll knock him down. Xue Gang said this, but he was still scared in his heart. His big yellow dog could bite off Wu Qi's little arm in one bite. "Come here, get into it yourself" Xue Gang put a chain on Rhubarb, Rhubarb was very obedient, and let Xue Gang fiddle with it. "Okay, come in."

As soon as I walked into the courtyard of Xue Gang's house, I smelled a strong smell of soy milk, Xue Gang's parents were about to push the goods to the vegetable market, the whole kitchen was busy, and Xue Gang hurriedly continued to work. This is the traditional way of making soybean milk in Shancheng, which is ground out with a stone mill, then boiled on an earthen stove, and finally wrapped in a cloth and squeezed out little by little. Then order the tofu, wait for the tofu to form, press the tofu to make dried tofu, and fry the golden tofu flowers. The whole kitchen was steaming, and the people inside were sweating profusely, which made people feel the hardships of life.

"Come, brother, drink a bowl of soy milk and eat a golden roll (bean skin wrapped in glutinous rice)." Xue Gang's mother warmly entertained Wu Qi.

"Oh, thank you, Auntie" Wu Qi felt very embarrassed, everyone was busy, he couldn't do anything on the side, and the master was distracted. "Auntie, you're busy with you, don't worry about me."

"We're done with our busy work, and we're ready to go to the market. Where are you going with my brother today? Don't learn how to swim in a reservoir or something, swimming is very dangerous, and people drown every year. Also, don't fight with people or fight people. Xue Gang's mother said bitterly.

"No, Auntie, don't worry, we will play football at the door of the fire brigade behind" Wu Qi was stunned, and hurriedly reassured Xue Gang's mother.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Hurry up and I'll pedal the tricycle for you, or it'll be too late. Xue Gang had already pushed the car to the door. Xue Gang's father carried two loads of tofu. The family of three set off for the vegetable market.

At this time, Wu Qi was really a little hungry, so he picked up the golden roll and ate it, and drank a big sip of soy milk. Well...... It smells so good! In the distance, Rhubarb was lying on the ground, staring straight at Wu Qi. Wu Qi stepped forward and threw a golden scroll for it to eat. Rhubarb sniffed and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Can you tell it's sweet? Don't chew it, it's a waste! Don't chase it in the future! "Wu Qi is actually taking revenge on Rhubarb.

"Let's go, let's play the ball" Xue Gang came back.

"How did you get back? So fast! Wu Qi was surprised, the market is also 15 minutes away from here.

"Running back! Hurry up, don't grind. Xue Gang ran into the hall to get the ball.

"Jingle ......!!!" Six o'clock sharp! A hurried bell rang, and it was the fire brigade's wake-up whistle to start today's practice!

The first is juggling training. Wu Qi started with his knees, and after two or three bumps, he transitioned to his feet. Because he can't pick up the ball with his feet, he can only use the help of his hands first. "Three-one, three-two, three-three, three-...... Four! "Hey, the ball fell to the ground. Wu Qi picked up the ball and continued to bumble. After going back and forth a few times, Wu Qi found a detail, it seems that it is particularly easy to bounce the ball with his knees, which is much easier than using his feet. Why is that? Wu Qi put down the ball and thought for a while. Juggling the ball looks easy, but in fact, people are constantly adjusting their center of gravity, which is quite physically demanding. So Wu Qi happened to take a break too.

Wu Qi recalled the picture of bouncing the ball with his knees, and saw his thighs lift up in his mind......

"Hmm... The balls actually landed on the thighs. The thighs are lifted at about the same angle each time, so the ball rises and falls smoothly. "I see! Wu Qi seems to have found the problem. He picked up the ball and began to bounce it with his knees, very steadily, and both knees could be bumped, and this bumble was fifty or sixty in a row. Then he threw the ball up again and touched it with his foot. The ball bounced, but it was slightly off, and Wu Qi did not continue to juggle the ball but caught it. He repeated it a few times, and each time the ball bounced back at a different angle, sometimes straight up, sometimes a little off.

"So, it's not good to juggle the ball, it's because the ball is in the wrong position, so I am passively controlling my balance and center of gravity every time." Wu Qi found the crux of the problem. The reason why the knee is bumped well is because the position of the touch is above the knee near the thigh, where the area is large and flat, and it has little effect on the line of the ball rebound. Switching to the surface of the foot to juggle the ball, due to the small area of the foot surface and the interference of the bulging bones, the rebound route of the ball is difficult to control.

Wu Qi looked back at Xue Gang, Xue Gang hadn't fallen off since he started juggling the ball, and his whole body was already soaked. Wu Qi quietly observed Xue Gang's use of footwork. Xue Gang alternately juggled the ball with his left and right feet, and the position of touching the ball seemed to be on the tip of his toes, and the fluctuations of the ball were very small, almost just a tap of his left foot and immediately changed to his right foot.

"Xue Gang, do you touch the ball with your feet or your toes?"

"Uh...... I guess it's a joint. The toe area is too small, and the surface of the foot is uneven, so it should be more accurate at the junction. Xue Gang actually couldn't understand it himself, because his ball sense was already very proficient. It's like a good pitcher, when people ask him for his secret, he just says, "Focus, put your hands in shape, and ...... By feel. ”

However, this is a huge revelation for Wu Qi. Compared with practicing the so-called ball sense aimlessly, finding the key point of the problem can get twice the result with half the effort.

"Find the right place to touch the ball and use the right amount of force." Wu Qi explores in this direction. Soon, after fifteen minutes or so of groping, Wu Qi had already felt the most suitable point. He knew very well what he needed, and he didn't dare to stop, for fear of forgetting the ball sensation just now.

"I'll teach you how to pick the ball." Xue Gang saw that Wu Qi used his hands to pick up the ball every time he juggled the ball, so he came over to help.

"Step on the ball first, hook the ball back to the instep, and then pick it up, using your toes to pick it up. If it's not coherent, the ball will easily go off. Xue Gang demonstrated as he spoke. Of course, there is another way to get a better grasp of the ball. Xue Long was proud to show off his tricks.

"Hook the ball to the top of your foot, but don't pick it up, and the calf bone will catch the ball with the top of your foot. After clamping the ball, feel the sensation of the ball in different positions on the surface of the foot. As long as you can master this, you can pick the ball or anything. Xue Gang was a little proud.

Wu Qi admired Xue Gang's technique and began to try it himself. But I couldn't catch the ball.

"After the ball reaches the top of the foot, the back heel is retracted a little bit, and then the oncoming bone will naturally clamp the ball with the surface of the foot." Xue Gang taught a little trick.

After several attempts, Wu Qi finally succeeded. Although it was awkward to do these movements and his feet were sore, Xue Gang's method invisibly deepened Wu Qi's feet to the ball. Soon, Wu Qi discovered his progress today. The dense touch just now really worked, and Wu Qi was already able to use the top of his feet to bounce the ball forty or fifty times in a row. It was a major breakthrough for him.

"Know, know, know......" out of nowhere, a cry of knowing.

"Let's go, let's go practice shooting."

"Okay, I'll guard the door."

The two ran to the lawn at the side gate of the fire brigade, where there was a horizontal bar, which happened to be the goal.

"Look!" After that, Xue Gang kicked vigorously with the instep of his foot. The ball was extremely fast and went straight to the right of the goal.

Wu Qi just watched the basic knowledge of goalkeepers last night, and he also made a few saves in his living room. I have to say that Wu Qi has a very high talent in football, although his body is thin, his comprehension of football is higher than ordinary people. Wu Qi rose to the right front, put his thumbs together into a figure-eight, looked at the flying ball, and grabbed the ball steadily. Because he had been injured when he pounced on the ball before, Wu Qi paid attention to it this time, pressed the ball to the ground after catching the ball, slightly retracted his elbow, and landed on the ground with a relatively thick right thigh. Although this is inevitable, it avoids the stiffness of the iliac bones and the impact of the elbow with the ground.

"I'll go!" Xue Gang obviously didn't expect his shot to be defused so easily.

"Hey, hey, I've got cheats, you just shoot!" Wu Qi is full of confidence.

Xue Gang stepped up his shots. For Wu Qi's thin body, the fire brigade has become a missile launch base, and Wu Qi is suffering from this cannonball-like shooting. Bang, boom......!!!

"What cheats do you say?" The two walked on the way home, and Xue Gang was also curious about how quickly Wu Qi's ball skills had improved. I have been playing football since the third grade of elementary school and play football almost every day after school. Earlier, I was playing with my friends, and these skills were accumulated in the past two years. Why did Wu Qi master it so quickly at the beginning?

"Look at this!" Wu Qi took out the two books he bought yesterday.

"What is this? You bought it? Xue Gang was very curious and opened it to see.

"Hmm...... It's a good thing. "This is a book about the basic tactical knowledge of football, which summarizes many basic football formations and tactics." The choice of playing more with less, the points of attention when playing more with less, how to implement the two-by-one tactic, and what is the offside position......" There are countless tactical propositions that attract Xue Gang.

"I'll take it, show me first." Xue Gang put the book in his basket with a rogue face.

"Eh, you...... Give me back! Xue Gang had already ridden away in the car, and Wu Qi was chasing after him.

"Don't go home! Let's go to my house and drink soy milk! ”

"Give me back the book!!"
