"Bang!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"

Alex Ferguson was about to leave the office after the afternoon of training when a few dull kicks reached his ears.
As mentioned earlier, his office is located very close to the training grounds, and through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, he can see how the players are training.
Ordinary Carrington, even after the end of training, will be very lively, not to mention Qin Good, Rooney, Van Persie, Scholes, Hernandez, Young, Valencia, Cleverley and others will also often practice, but recently this venue is a little deserted.
After all, they have just experienced the Christmas devil schedule, not only have the players injured, but the others are also generally feeling tired, and the fitness coach has also advised Ferguson to give the players a proper rest these days.
Perhaps because of his age, Ferguson is not as strict in managing the team as he was ten years ago - ten years ago, even a heartthrob like David Beckham and the darling of the world's media, the old gentleman would dare to kick his eyebrow bone and sweep him out of the door (flying boot gate); Even for a captain and mental pillar like Keane, Ferguson kicked him out of Manchester United as soon as he dared to raise doubts.
But now he can't.
For example, in the previous Rooney contract renewal turmoil, Ferguson carefully dealt with the media, while doing the ideological work of Lu Xiaopang and his agent with both soft and hard, even so, Rooney did not let go, and even openly jumped out and scolded "I want to go to an ambitious club". It wasn't until the two top superstars Van Persie and Qin Goode joined strongly that Rooney, who felt a hint of crisis, hurriedly signed the contract extension.
For example, before that, Ronaldo chose to leave Real Madrid for a higher salary and more attention, and Ferguson had no choice......
In the past, Ferguson was the emperor who spoke the same thing, but now he has to play more of an old father who takes care of everyone's emotions......
He was now standing in front of the window, looking intently at Qin Gude, who was doing the final training on the field.
Qin Goode's training in the past few days is a little strange: he has specially practiced long-range free kicks for himself.
Originally, this was nothing, after all, after David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United no longer had a reliable penalty taker on free-kicks, and he has become the team's No. 1 free-kick master with outstanding long-range shooting ability.
But today, even Ferguson could tell that there was something slightly unusual about Qin Goode's practice: he had just shot three shots...... Not once did he hit the goal!
The goal was empty, which was almost eighty percent of Qin Good's shooting rate without interference...... Not being able to shoot on target is simply a fantasy!
But such a strange thing happened right under Ferguson's nose, and the old guy almost frightened him.
Then he watched the ball again, but it still flew out of the woodwork......
"This ...... How is this possible? The old Scottish man pushed the frame, a look of surprise.
None of the four shots were on target...... At least since Ferguson began to pay attention to Qin Goode in 2011, he has never seen such data.
Did that magical Chinese let the ghost possess him?
After winning the Golden Globe, all the magic and aura on his body disappeared?
Or is it a rush and an unbalanced mentality?
Still is...... His plug-in has expired and now he needs to top up?
"Bang!"
Qin Gude shook his head: this was the tenth time he had shot from distance, but this time he still couldn't send the ball into the goal as he wished.
He still couldn't find that strange feeling.
So he picked up the eleventh ball and tossed it a few times with his left and right feet, trying to make his feet a little hotter.
Finally, he lifted the ball slightly to a higher level, and then picked up his right leg against the spinning ball.
"Bang!"
The straight instep and the falling football collided violently, and at this moment, Qin Gude suddenly lifted the instep!
If you describe it in terms of the action of a ping pong ball, this can almost be called a chipping ball......
The ball swirled and arced around the plastic plate that acted as a human wall, before plummeting quickly before the goal line and bouncing into the net.
But Qin Gude shook his head: the height is not high enough! The arc is not big enough! The visuals are even less amazing!
"What are you practicing?" Ferguson's voice rang out from behind him, "Curling ball?" ”
The old Scottish man walked out of his office and watched the shot up close, and Ferguson, who had been a professional player for a long time, could see that the Chinese had not forgotten how to shoot the ball into the goal, but were deliberately kicking the ball with the instep of the curve.
"Yes, boss." Qin Goode nodded in response, then hooked the twelfth ball with his foot, and pulled it directly with his right foot without stopping!
The ball made a huge arc, plunged into the penalty area, and slid out at the last minute.
"Nice arcs." The manager applauded gently as an encouragement to the players.
But Qin Gude shook his head again and again: "No, it's not like this. ”
Ferguson wasn't a top superstar when he was a player, so he didn't understand what he wanted to do. But after Qin Gude tried again, he suddenly reacted: "Are you practicing the arc that you kicked when you slipped?" ”
"That's right, boss." Qin Goode swung his arm vigorously and kicked the fourteenth ball into the air.
The soccer ball slammed into the goalframe, and the whole goal made a "buzzing" sound.
"God, God," Ferguson exclaimed, "it was an accident, wasn't it?" No one can replicate such a huge arc! ”
Qin Gude stopped his movements slightly, he turned to look at the head coach, his eyes were serious and firm: "No, I'm sure it can be replicated." ”
Just now, he had caught a clue, and that familiar feeling had come to his feet.
All he needs to do is keep that feeling!
Carve this feeling into your muscles and bone marrow with repetitive exercises!
Ferguson stood on the sidelines, watching the 1.82-meter-tall Chinese guy trot to the goal, kicking the more than 30 balls he had just kicked back to his penalty position one by one.
Ferguson's gaze gradually calmed, but he noticed something else.
More than 30 balls, that is, more than 30 medium-length passes ranging from 30 meters to 40 meters, almost every time the ball can be passed back to that fixed area, the error will not exceed one meter......
He's using the opportunity to practice accurate long passes?
Manchester is at such high latitude that in winter, the sun is close to setting before half-past four.
In the twilight of the sunset, Ferguson watched as United's most expensive player in history played again and again, pausing for occasional pauses, as if looking for inspiration.
The greatest monarch of the Red Devils wrapped his coat tightly in the cold winter wind.
As the temperature drops and the lights at Carrington's training ground dim, the 71-year-old Scotsman's eyes are getting brighter and he is more convinced than ever that 90 million euros can bring a new king to the club. (To be continued.) )
