Chapter 19: An Ugly Duckling

"You can buy betting, but in moderation. They all got up and moved their bodies away. "Coach Baker's voice is also there, loud.

Everyone stood up one after another, and each changed their clothes, and it didn't take long, David took the lead, and everyone came in a row, lined up, but it was not a neat column.

Mr. Baker stood in front of the team, patted the wooden tactical board, cleared his throat, and said calmly: "Although the team competition task has ended this semester, I hope everyone can maintain two to three days a week before the school officially ends the semester." It's a holiday, and everyone's daily training has to rely on their own self-consciousness. There are two new players joining today, and after the start of the new semester, it is estimated that there will be some new blood added. First of all, we would like to welcome two newcomers! ”

Crackling, sparse applause mixed with oh rat whining laughter.

Nat took a step forward with a flushed face, turned around and stood still, and then introduced himself: "Nat . Smith, from Australia, plays as a winger. With that, Nat returned like a little rooster. Actually, I really don't need to introduce myself, everyone is already familiar with it at noon.

When the second looks at it, he has to introduce himself, is this the rule? The second also followed the example of Nate, took a step forward and introduced himself: "Qin Long, you can call me Long or Qin, from Hong Kong, China, and the position on the field, uh, the defender, the midfielder, and the striker have all done it." ”

"Oh-oh-" Everyone started laughing, joking and laughing noisily.

Up to now, he has not been trained in football professionally, and he has not been fixed to any position on the pitch or instructed him where to play. At that time, when it was still the beginning of the first Qin Dynasty, basically when playing wild ball, he would play whatever position was lacking, as if the goalkeeper had done it, and it was obtained by drawing lots.

Coach Baker was also unaware, and then said solemnly: "The position of the dragon does need to be looked at again, but it is not a bad thing to be able to play a few more positions." Okay, let's start today's training, please move your body, protect your body, don't cut corners in training, and play tricks. ”

Woo-boom, there were not more than a dozen people causing a lot of movement, and the atmosphere suddenly began to be enthusiastic.

David took the lead and began the first part of the afternoon football routine: a whole-body preparation activity, jogging 10 laps around the field, about 15 minutes of relaxation running of more than 3,000 meters.

Everyone began to jog at a uniform pace, and Coach Baker stood in the center of the court, straight, chest up, head high, and his sharp eyes roaming as the players ran. The whole person is like a general standing on a high platform, with a bird's-eye view of the soldiers below, and like a European medieval lord, patrolling his territory, like the head wolf in a wolf pack.

The summer weather, although there is no high temperature of more than 30 degrees in Oxford, but the first event of more than 3,000 meters running, is also sweaty, the second feels okay, running is a strong point.

Coach Baker whistled, and as soon as the whistle stopped, II followed the group and scattered on the training ground.

Everyone began to follow Coach Baker and began to do local warm-up exercises on the body: head exercises, chest expansion exercises, waist exercises, hip exercises, stretching exercises, leg press exercises, joint exercises, etc. A series of movements, as required in domestic physical education classes, until all the joints and veins in the body are activated.

Coach Baker not only followed everyone himself, but also stared at everyone, but today everyone was very conscious, probably in order to eat.

Just after everyone's activity started, they began to consciously divide into groups, starting push-ups, sit-ups, holding the head deeply, one-legged squat-up, two-head up, hurdle legs, tiptoe jumping, pull-ups, arm supports, curling bodies, high leg runs, 12-minute variable speed running, 5*30-meter switchback running, and other flexible strength speed training.

The basic physical training of this item is also painful. But as the second person who came into contact with football physical training for the first time, he did not feel tired, happy and excited.

The second followed the team to do basic physical training, and just when some people were tired and almost lay down, Coach Baker stopped the training and asked everyone to do tidying up activities and regain their physical fitness.

After everyone did a complete rational activity in twos and threes, Coach Baker whistled again and instructed everyone to carry the football basket, as well as the training nets, corner flags, corner cones, markers, etc., according to the usual training position.

Started special training with balls: juggling, catching, dribbling, pulling, plucking, overhead balls and other special ball-based basic training courses.

Coach Baker began to demonstrate, and everyone followed along with a serious workout. Just like in a primary school classroom, whether you know it or not, whether you understand it or not, the teacher still repeats what he thinks the students are learning and consolidating according to their own preparations. Whether it's a cultural subject, a book that has been read a hundred times, or a physical education subject, it's always good to review the past and learn the new.

One plus one equals two, this is because everyone is too familiar with it, so no matter whether it is a regular test or other important exam, it seems that no student can get this result wrong. Coach Baker believes that the same is true for football training, and only by repeating and consolidating it will the technical movements of football not be irregular or mistaken.

But with such a simple soccer subject training, II is like an ugly duckling standing among a flock of white swans, staggering, helpless, and perhaps a little inferior.

Although the second has a foundation for martial arts, he can basically stick to every aspect of the previous physical training. However, there is a ball technical action training content in the back, but the second feels that the precautions for the training of these items are so complicated and varied, and they can't do it well.

However, fortunately, there was no technical and tactical coordination training this afternoon, and the second would not hold everyone back. Coach Baker saw that the second technical move was full of mistakes, but he did not criticize it at all. The teammates probably also ate a Chinese meal from the second world, and ate a cake around their necks, without discrimination or jokes about the second world.

Although the second was apprehensive, he still tried to learn from everyone's appearance, painted a scoop according to the gourd, and trained carefully step by step.

Finally, when Coach Baker gave a long whistle, the training was over, and the sun was already in the west.

After everyone habitually packed up the training equipment, Coach Baker began to give points to each player, or praise or criticize them.

Mr. Baker will also say that there is progress in this, and remind that the one needs to strengthen flexibility training, and say that whose climbing idea is good, but stick to it, and finally Coach Baker asked everyone to insist on practicing every day.

I don't know if everyone can do what Coach Baker asks, but now it's like the teacher shouting to end the class, and everyone is dispersed one after another.

II did not leave the football training ground and was left behind by Coach Baker.

Did Mr. Baker lecture the Second or open a small stove?

Did the football training start today?
