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

The coaching staff headed by Jiang Yelin includes assistant coach and captain Mia Suter, coach and vice-captain Audrey and Ben, in fact, they all know in their hearts that although the newly selected 14 reserve players have a certain sports foundation, for example, 10 of the 14 players were originally engaged in other sports, such as the twin sisters of the original volleyball team, such as a few who play tennis and a few of the track and field team, these people can stand out in the preliminary selection through the 1200-meter run and 30-meter sprint, Athleticism is definitely the strongest among Yale girls......

But this is far from enough, football is a sport of body coordination, switchback running ability, bounce and sprint have considerable requirements, as for ball skills, the technique of passing and receiving the ball is theoretically not too late to start practicing, but when can not be regarded as the end of practice, the ball is based on skillful technology, and the technique needs to be tempered repeatedly, so, not to mention the first real training class, that is, after 10 lessons and 20 lessons, these new rookies in the team, To have one or two who can meet the standard of substitutes is already thankfully Django.

In comparison, in the offensive group that Mia is responsible for, the 3 new players are the most interested in learning, and the stumbling passing and receiving training brings novelty and great interest to the girls, and the legendary law school iceberg goddess Mia Suter is obviously easier to contact and approach than imagined, this girl was impressed by Mia's skillful skills, and was also deeply amazed by Mia's speed and physical fitness, it seems that the captain Mia's body embalming contains infinite energy and passion!

"Girls! A team of two starts to pass and receive the ball, and after 20 minutes, the best quality group will be rewarded with a special allowance of $10, and the group with the worst quality will run three more laps around the field! Mia clapped her hands and urged the girls in the offensive group not to be lazy, not to be afraid of difficulties, and to start passing and receiving the ball training quickly!

Audrey and Ben led the midfield group on the lawn outside half of the field but dancing rhythmic gymnastics, theoretically Yale women's football midfield offensive players belong to the offensive group led by Mia, therefore, the goalkeeper Audrey's midfield group is mainly a sapper type of interception and defensive players, but not the guard line, the guard line is all under the defensive group led by Coach Django himself, Audrey's midfield group wants players who can't run, so, after the opening jog of the three laps, Audrey led the 8 midfield players to start a further warm-up exercise, rhythmic gymnastics!

The cheerleading competition in American high schools is also applicable on college campuses, 5 of the veteran players in the midfield group are the original substitutes, and the 3 new players have the foundation of track and field, physical fitness is also not a problem, the task of the defensive midfielder is to destroy and intercept, whether it is a 532 formation or a balanced 442 formation in the future game, the running ability of the midfielders is the key to whether a team's combat effectiveness can play normally.

Not to mention anything else, Nike-sponsored custom jerseys, pants and sneakers, socks, shin guards or something, fully armed to refresh the spirit of the Yale women's football team, this is not an exaggeration, although the original sponsor of the Yale women's football team is also Nike, but the number is so pitiful that everyone only has two sets of regular clothing, and there is only one pair of sneakers, and the rest has to be changed and washed tightly, although Jiang Yelin is very low-key when he enters the Yale women's football team, but Nike is obviously under pressure, or there is a new impetus, and now the Yale women's football team has five sets of training uniforms per person, Three sets of official competition costumes, which are theoretically enough to change twice a day.

And the women's football girls' clothing is sent to the laundry room to be washed and dried every day after training, and the 32 players have their own jerseys and number sizes, which are completely tailor-made, which enhances a team's countless sense of honor and pride in being noticed and valued, of course, plus a training allowance of $100 per training session, Nima, the Django coach from Wall Street, is estimated to spoil the Yale girls who have seen the world.

For defensive midfielders, running back and forth is the basic skill they need to continue to exercise and improve, and the requirements for endurance are quite high, in fact, 12 minutes of running is not dead, most people run between 2800 meters and 3200 meters, but the switchback run is absolutely able to run to death, or in other words, it is not an exaggeration to run until the players are in pain, blue lips and white faces, the second subject of the midfield group commanded by Audrey is rhythmic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics is just relaxation or further warm-up.

Next, 8 players, including Audrey and Ben, began to practice switchback running, that is, standing in the middle of the field, the two players stood with their backs to each other, and began to run to the two sidelines as fast as the whistle sounded, almost 32 meters, and tried a 30-meter sprint, but this is not over, after running to the sideline, they have to turn back, turn back to the middle position, that is, turn back 15 meters, and then turn around and continue to run back to the sideline, which is 7 and a half meters, and then run back 15 meters from the sideline, and then turn back to the sideline, and then turn around and run back to the midpoint is another 32 meters!

Even if there is no time limit, this one-way 144-meter switchback run down is almost the middle of the midfield group The players are tired and broken, the goalkeeper-turned-vice-captain and coach Audrey has the best results, I don't know if she pinched herself a few seconds late when she pinched the watch, the 144-meter run down 8 people The best Audrey is 30 seconds 12, the other 4 substitute midfielders are between 32 seconds and 36 seconds, and the 3 reserve players who joined the team run this switchback run for the first time, The fastest was only 41 seconds, and the slowest took 45 seconds!

You must know that the 200-meter running women's world discipline is only 22 seconds, although the switchback run on the lawn and the 200-meter curve run on the track are not the same, but it can also be seen that the switchback run is indeed a training project that tests the ability of players to run back and forth on the field, and it is very close to the actual running on the field, according to statistics, the sprint on the field is generally not more than 30 meters, after all, the whole stadium is only 105 meters long, and the defensive midfielder runs from the arc of the circle to the arc of the penalty area is only 30 meters!

As for the sprint of 16 meters and 8 meters, it is often in line with the running distance of the half-court players to control their defensive area, because the width of the court is 65 meters, and the left side players only need to defend their own way in theory, so if you stand in the middle, it is 16 meters to the sideline, and it is 16 meters to the middle, plus the distance between the opponent and the player, the running between 16 meters and 8 meters is the basic distance between most offensive and defensive players from the start to physical contact or interception to the football, and it is also the most common distance.

"Girls! Tired, right? If you can't catch up with your opponent when defending, or you can't catch up with your teammates when you counterattack, then you have no value in the team! I'm tired, but I'm a goalkeeper who can run around 30 seconds, aren't you ashamed? The slowest is actually 45 seconds, do you know how many goals have been scored in 45 seconds on the basketball court? Did you know that the fastest goal on a football field is only a few seconds?! 45 seconds is enough for the opponent to attack several times, you know?! Take a 5-minute break and move on to the next set! ”

Audrey - and Ben knew that the 4 crooked melons and cracked dates in his hands were the millennium substitutes in the original team, and the 3 defensive midfielders of the new team obviously had nothing to learn except for running, but I didn't expect the guy from the track and field team to run back and run so sparsely, the vice captain's heart was faintly disappointed, compared to the 3 new reserve players in the offensive group who had passed and received the ball, Audrey sighed in her heart! Then he glared and yelled at the girls who were still sitting on the ground panting and unable to speak,

"The next group must all run into 40 seconds, otherwise today's training will not be over, and the training allowance will not be receiving!"

On the other field, Jiang Yelin, who is responsible for leading the defensive group, faces no less than half a point less than Mia with the offensive group and Audrey with the midfield group, the defensive group concentrates the six main players on the team's backline, and there are also eight new reserve players who don't know anything about football, including the twin sisters Carrie Memphis and Carlis Memphis, who were bench players of the original volleyball team.

"Girls! I know everyone is very worried, Yale women's football is a glorious collective, of course, the fourth in the league is a passing thing for the current team, this year our goal is to enter the final finals of the league, can we achieve this goal, we need the whole team to unite together, how can the team win?! Can anyone raise their hand to tell me!? Why can't any of you grab a pass between 7 of you just now?! The best answer is a $10 bonus stipend! ”

Jiang Yelin took the girls to play a 20-minute game of grabbing the ball in the circle, and began to enter the pre-war mobilization, of course, in the process of grabbing the ball just now, 8 new reserve players were full of foreign appearances, 8 people stood in the middle circle and couldn't even grab the pass between their own 6 main defensive players, and the success rate of interception was only less than 30% of the poor Baba, this is not a few people pass the ball and grab it alone, but 7 people pass the ball and 8 people grab, that is, the pig brain is a little smarter, one person stares at one, The remaining free man will not be able to achieve the current success rate, and the newcomer obviously has a long way to go!

"Coach, I think it's the main players who are cheating, they originally passed the ball standing on the spot, but as soon as we went up to grab the ball, they ran sideways with the ball and then passed it horizontally, this is not a rule at all!" The sister of the twins, Kali, was the first to raise her hand to speak, complaining and coquettish while throwing an electric eye at Jiang Yelin!

"Carrie Memphis? Your physical strength is so poor, how can you sisters become standing spectators in less than 5 minutes just now? Intensify your physical training, and after the training session is over, you two will run another 3 laps...... Your answer is completely off the point, I want you to always remember that there is no static passing and receiving on the pitch, as long as it is my team, I will not allow players other than the goalkeeper to stop and pass the ball, in other words, in most cases, the ball can only be passed to the gap where the teammates are running and not to the feet! It wasn't because you couldn't grab the ball just now because your passer was running, but you also saw that the passing on the run is the most difficult to intercept, isn't it?! ”

Jiang Yelin narrowed his eyes and roared while muttering in his heart how many points can this sister flower of the front volleyball team play? 80 points should be there...... After all, they are twins and 175 cm tall!
