Chapter 432: Passing and Catching the Ball

Yale University Soccer Park Stadium, New Haven, Connecticut, USA

On the afternoon of the first Friday in April, the first training session of the Yale women's soccer team after the reorganization and expansion was arranged in the secluded Sports Park Stadium, which is not far from the Whitehorse apartment in Jiang Yelin, which is much more secluded than the noisy sports center court, and the city of New Haven is just a small town that emerged because of the location of Yale University, this town founded in 1638 has a longer history than the United States of America, but after more than 350 years of development, it has a population of only 100,000. Yale University makes up more than 20 percent of its faculty and staff.

This is the first class of training led by Jiang Yelin, and the training plan was discussed yesterday with Mia, who is an assistant coach, and Audrey, the coach, but the two Yale talented women may not agree with some of the ideas of the new coach, and they all know that the ball must be kicked in the goal, but the technical and tactical literacy of the Yale women's football team can only be regarded as ordinary, plus the big change of blood selected 14 new players to enter the team, how to take the training course of the huge 32 players, that is, the national team has good skills and has obtained a coaching certificate Mia Suter feels that this is a problem.

Jiang Yelin arranged for the whole team to first warm up the exercise, the old rule is to jog around the court three times, of course, by the Yale Football Park field only the court has no runway and stands, the girls lined up neatly can only run around the edge of the two courts, because it is a football park is two courts side by side, so 105 + 130 + 105 + 130 a lap down is 470 meters, 70 meters more than the 400 meters of the standard runway, 3 laps down is equal to 1410 meters, close to a 1500 meters run......

Regardless of the skills of these players in the Yale women's football team, when Jiang Yelin selected new players, the assessment items were 1200-meter run and 30-meter sprint, so the 14 new players selected this time are really in good physical condition, at least running is not difficult for these Yale girls, not to mention, a training session is up to 4 hours in the afternoon, and there is time to rest in between, this training allowance is 100 US dollars, which is equivalent to 25 US dollars per hour, Nima's salary is twice as expensive as the most expensive babycare, just for this, the girls who have saved the idea of work-study have to grit their teeth and persevere, right?

The key is that the carrot of this training allowance is not a bookkeeping week-end month-end or something, Coach Django said clearly, gold is found at the end of each training session, how much benefit and temptation does this have? This means that girls get $300 for three half-days of training a week, what is this concept? Coffee costs $1 for 1 cup, Coke is only 20 cents, Burger King's largest double-layer beef burger is only $1.99, and four 12-inch pizzas are only $20. You have to cherish it, don't you? What Coach Django says is what it is, isn't?!

What's more, such a sunny and handsome young coach is still from Wall Street, and I heard that the net worth is more than 10 million US dollars, and it is even rumored that the dividends and equity incentives given by Merrill Lynch Securities every year are in the millions, do you know the US dollars? That's not the yen! Not rubles! Not the real! Not Piaste! It's dollars! I heard that Coach Django is still single, and we are working hard at Yale University in the future to have a good career, but then again, it is better to learn well than to marry, and if you can really get married to the golden beetle, why give up the opportunity that is close at hand?!

Three laps down, the girls are sweating, Mia led the speed control of the team is good, this is not the speed of the competition with Jiang Yelin a few days ago when he warmed up, it is true that there is both strength and relaxation, these three laps are not a uniform speed run, almost every 50 meters to change speed, the girls gritted their teeth and persevered, and then relaxed and wiped their sweat on the spot for ten minutes to rest, and entered the next subject of today's training, 32 players were divided into three groups according to the different positions in the midfield, Jiang Yelin was personally responsible for the defense group, Mia is in charge of the frontcourt players, while Audrey is in charge of the midfielders.

Although the whole team is 18 veteran players plus 14 new reserve players, Jiang Yelin does not plan to train the reserve players alone, to grow up in the exploration of the old and new is the basic requirement of Jiang Yelin to the 14 new players, football is of course kicked with the feet, as for how to play, the old players should play the role of passing and helping, if the training effect is not good or the technical and tactical actions can not be practiced, the punishment is the entire detachment and not just the new players who make mistakes.

As far as the common language is concerned, like a rugby team, divided into offensive and defensive players and special service team, Jiang Yelin divided the 32 players of the Yale women's football team into an offensive group, a midfield group and a defensive group according to different positions on the field, among the 10 people in the offensive group, 7 veteran players, 3 new players, 8 people in the midfield group, 5 veteran players, 3 new players, and the number of people in the defense group is the largest, a total of 14 players, 6 veteran players, 8 new players, plus Jiang Yelin, the whole team is exactly 33 people who are on the field to train and play.

Audrey and Ben and the substitute goalkeeper are included in the midfield group, Jiang Yelin chose not to set up a goalkeeper in training, in his opinion, the girls can kick the ball into the range of the goal is the most important, followed by power and angle, before choosing the angle, first of all, to be able to kick the ball into the range of the goal, Jiang Yelin asked each group in training, the first to pursue accuracy in shooting, the second is power, and finally the whimsical angle problem.

As the attacking group in the first training session, Mia and the other 10 players trained the subject of the short pass between the two of them, starting from one end of the field, the two of them were 7 meters apart, and they had to quickly pass the ball to the other side and run sideways, and the opponent also ran and passed the ball diagonally back at the same time, as quickly as the two of them knocked the ball from the end of the court through non-stop running and passing all the way to the other end of the court, the distance was almost 60 meters.

For the midfield veterans of the Yale women's football team, this kind of training is not new, of course, there will be mistakes, the so-called smooth cooperation, is to pass the ball to the receiver running position, prediction is very critical, because it is the ball in the sport to receive the ball, so the strength and speed to be controlled just right, 7 old players with 3 new players, at the beginning of course is full of foreign appearances, the new players who are incorporated into the offensive group are fast and more able to run reserves, so running sideways is not a problem, the difficulty is to kick the ball out just right in the run, Kick in the direction of the team's running, kick slowly, the opponent is forced to turn back to catch the ball, and if the kick is fast, you can't catch up.

In fact, after all, the veterans of the Yale women's football team have been playing football for a few years, and some girls have played football for seven or eight years since middle school, so the fast passing cooperation between the two is difficult for them, as for the newcomers, everyone originally did not expect much, and of course there was no chance to pass the second kick in a row at the beginning, basically either knowing that they forgot to catch the ball, or they just waited for the ball and forgot to run, but Mia used her brains when she was paired, so that the most skilled veterans led the new players.

Under the one-on-one help, 20 minutes of two-person passing and receiving training, at least the newcomer can only pass a ball from the beginning, and slowly becomes a newcomer who can pass and run and catch a ball, and even the newcomer who Mia himself helped teach, actually opened his brain, and then he looked like a kick and a kick, although the speed was still too slow, but he was able to completely pass from one end of the field to the other end of the field with Mia, which attracted applause and cheers from the other players of the offensive group.

"Shanon, let's give you a demonstration and see how fast you can be in actual combat to be considered a dangerous pass-and-catch attack!" Mia wiped her sweat, while letting the players of the offensive group relax and rest for 2 minutes, while letting No. 9 Shanon Box, the main player who plays as a striker, stand up and give everyone another demonstration with himself, the initial demonstration action is actually Shanon and Mia cooperate to show the newcomers, but the slow speed is no different from walking on the field, now, the three newcomers have a certain foundation, Mia decided to let the newcomers see the speed and passing standards of the real game!

Shanon stood up and walked to the opposite side of Mia, almost 9 meters away, which is also the position of the free kick wall to the penalty spot, theoretically, any free kick in the backcourt can be turned into a team of two fast short passes and penetrating attacks, the previous reason why 7 meters away is to take care of the newcomer to reduce the distance and difficulty of the pass.

"Let's go!" Mia's voice did not fall, and after the ball was pushed diagonally to the side, she took a step and ran out to the right, and Shanon also quickly moved sideways to catch up with the football that Mia passed diagonally, although this girl's skills and speed are incomparable with Mia, but she is also the main player who has been playing in the women's football team from middle school to college, after catching up with the ball, Shanon did not stop but picked up his foot and pushed the ball diagonally with the arch of his foot to pass the ball to Mia, who was already running in front of him, Mia's speed is of course faster, However, no matter how fast you run, you can't match the speed of the ball.

The dazzling two people passed the ball quickly and attacked in a way that the three new players of the offensive group were dazzled, and the girls all opened their mouths as if they couldn't believe their eyes, after Mia received the ball, because Shannon's running position was behind her, so she didn't pass forward but passed the ball almost parallel to Shanon's running position, as soon as the ball came out, Mia started to run faster than just now, and Shanon finally ran to the position to receive the ball, and also didn't stay and kicked the ball out again.

Because the distance between Mia and Shanon is constantly lengthening at this time, the force on the second Shanon foot is much greater than just now, and the boccia ball that should be passed to the ground is the easiest ball for the receiver to control, but due to the flatness of the turf, when the ball is passed to the middle position, it is rubbed by the bulge of the ground and rebounds, which makes the passing line of Shanon's second foot ball change, the speed slows down and the ball becomes a half-high ball.

Mia rubbed sideways with her left foot, the football was perfectly unloaded and rolled down to Mia's right foot, the captain of the women's football team followed up and passed the ball back with his right foot sideways, so the three-legged pass The two ran the 60-meter passing route and won warm applause from the sidelines, of course, Alice and Fisher from Mia's personal guard, the beautiful cheerleading team!
