Chapter 15: The Book of War
This time in Brazil, Jianlibao gave full play to the fine style of hard work and simplicity.
In full view of everyone, Zhu Guanghu picked out a few empty buckets and put them on the grass as obstacles. The players began to demonstrate a series of exercises such as dribbling the ball and running around the post around the bucket.
Zou Xiaoqing and Liu Ge felt a little shabby, but many Brazilian media and onlookers around them watched with relish. In their opinion, football training should be like this.
The city of Žukitiba also has its own football team, but compared to giants like São Paulo, they are not even poor, at most grassroots.
And this grassroots is the most real experience of Brazilian football, and it is the true portrayal of the longevity of Brazilian football.
São Paulo is a little better, many street children are chasing and kicking a ball sewn from leather.
The city of Zhukitiba is much worse.
Ou Chuliang had seen three mud monkey-like children scramble for a round thing, kicking it with great joy. When I walked in, it turned out to be a cabbage stick.
Seeing that the soil was still mixed with a little green cabbage stick, it was easy for Ou Chuliang to imagine its original appearance.
A green cabbage was kicked by children just because it could be rolled.
Eventually, the stones on the ground smoothed the corners of the cabbage and turned it into a ball that could be rolled.
In this regard, Ou Chuliang thought of the moment when he was a child, holding a wooden plank and playing table tennis with his friends on a table without nets.
If the ordinary people at the bottom love a sport deeply, then how weak can the national team of this country be?
After filming the daily training of Jianlibao outfield players, the reporters asked to film the training of several goalkeepers.
But Jianlibao does not have a professional goalkeeper coach, and Li Hui just takes Li Jian and Ou Chuliang to do some basic exercises on weekdays.
At Zou Xiaoqing's suggestion, it was changed to shoot several groups of Jianlibao goalkeepers' saving moments. As soon as this proposal came out, it immediately won the support of the broad masses of the people.
In this way, Ou Chuliang, who had rested, stood in front of the goal, standing in a row outside the penalty area and waiting for the Jianlibao members to shoot.
"Alas! The coach is really, he even gave the order of 'no goals', isn't it embarrassing for me! Zhang Xiaorui's face was stunned.
"Cut! As far as your footwork is concerned, Brother Ou doesn't need to move the place! ”
"yes, even if you kick the empty goal, you won't be able to kick it in!"
As soon as Zhang Xiaorui finished speaking, he was bombarded by his teammates. Although his face was flushed, he couldn't refute it.
"Beep!" In the successive whistles, teammates received the ball from Li Tie at the front of the penalty area, or shot again or volleyed directly.
The reporters on the left and right sides of the front door and the back door seized various moments, and the flashing lights clicked around Ou Chuliang.
Although he was given the order of "no goals", the footwork of Jianlibao members did not dare to compliment.
Either he shot with a strong kick, or he was caught by Ou Chuliang softly.
Ou Chuliang had no choice but to make exaggerated saves frequently, but overall it was still unsatisfactory.
shot one after another, and when it was Zhang Xiaorui's turn, "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" raised his eyebrows and laughed.
Seeing Li Tie pushing the ball, Zhang Xiaorui quickly started, took a big kick, and brought the ball towards the penalty area.
"Zhang Gazi, you..."
In Li Jinyu's exclamation, Zhang Xiaorui did not pull a ball sideways like other teammates and volleyed directly. Instead, he took the ball straight and rushed towards the penalty area.
This is like the tiebreake of the major leagues.
It is that after a draw, the two teams will use the unique 35-yard one-on-one ball to decide the winner. The attacking player starts dribbling the ball from outside the box and must shoot the ball into the opponent's goal within 5 seconds, and the goalkeeper can block the opponent from scoring with a strike.
Such a unique rule did not attract the attention of American audiences, and it also kept fans of traditional football away from the major leagues, so the league eliminated the tiebreake in 1999.
Now, Zhang Xiaorui, the chicken thief, has taken the ball into the penalty area and taken a great advantage.
By the time Ou Chuliang reacted and planned to attack from the goal line to block the angle, it was too late.
"Zhang Ga, you dare TM!" Li Tie roared, shocked by Zhang Xiaorui's outrageous move.
"Haha, fake kicking is so boring, if you want to kick, come to the real thing! Brother Ou, I'm sorry! ”
Zhang Xiaorui laughed, looking at the goal full of gaps, he was still not satisfied, and continued to rush forward with the ball.
"What is that Hanhan going to do?"
"He's thought about the European team!"
"He's crazy?"
Facing Zhang Xiaorui's single knife, Ou Chuliang rushed forward without hesitation. After understanding Zhang Xiaorui's intentions, he did not hesitate at all, and approached this black man as fast as possible.
Seeing the gap in the rhythm, Ou Chuliang didn't say a word, and rushed out directly.
It doesn't matter if you are shaking or shooting, Lao Tzu will get the ball first.
Just when Zhang Xiaorui was still thinking about how to shake off Ou Chuliang, he found that Ou Chuliang, who was wearing a black shirt, had already pounced on his feet.
"? So fast?! ”
Zhang Xiaorui didn't expect Ou Chuliang to be so fast and fierce, so he hurriedly retracted his feet in a hurry, but he was still caught on tiptoe by Ou Chuliang's shoulders rushing forward. The center of gravity was unstable, and it turned directly over from Ou Chuliang.
"Click!"
A local Brazilian journalist seized the moment, and within seconds of pressing the shutter, a white photo was developed out of his Polaroid.
"Brother Ou, are you really here?" Zhang Xiaorui, who fell into a dog and ate, was full of crying, and his resentful expression overflowed his invisible little eyes.
"You and I are real, and I will naturally be real with you." Ou Chuliang held the ball and stretched out his hand towards Zhang Xiaorui.
"Okay, count me out of luck." Zhang Xiaorui pouted and stood up, suddenly found something, and exclaimed: "Ou, Brother Ou, your head..."
Ou Chuliang followed Zhang Xiaorui's fingers, wiped his forehead, and found that the gloves were dyed red.
"It's okay, it's just a little bit of skin."
Before the words fell, Li Tie and Li Jinyu rushed up and surrounded Zhang Xiaorui.
"Gazi, have you eaten the bear's heart leopard gall? Dare to pass Brother Ou? ”
"Who gave you the courage? You tell me, who gave it to you? ”
"Bang bang bang", Zhang Xiaorui was dragged aside and beaten fatly, and even the discussion and others came over to make up for a few punches.
"Coach, don't shoot, I'll take care of the wound." Ou Chuliang waved his hand at Zhu Guanghu and walked towards the bus.
Zhu Guanghu saw Hong, and was also worried, "Do you want Coach Li to accompany you?" ”
"No need, little problem."
"Tut, this group of children don't know how to take care of their bodies at all." Zhu Guanghu shook his head, and said to Pascal on the side: "Mr. Pascal, what do you think of this group of students?" ”
"It's a good seedling!" Pascal looked at Ou Chuliang's back and exclaimed.
"No, I know he's a good seedling." Zhu Guanghu smiled bitterly and pointed to the other players in the field, "I'm asking them?" ”
"They? I don't know yet. Pascal pinched his chin, "I can't see anything yet, I'll have to make more contact with them to find out who is suitable for what position." If you can, arrange for them to play an intra-team game tomorrow, and only the actual battle is the best time to get to know the players. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Zhu Guanghu nodded, he knew that Pascal was giving the other players a step down.
It can be seen from Pascal's eyes at Ou Chuliang and the others that Pascal is actually very disoptimistic about the students other than Ou Chuliang.
"Excuse me, may I ask sir, how much does this picture cost?" Zou Xiaoqing came to the reporter with a Polaroid camera at some point, and greedily looked at the recent photo of Ou Chuliang saving from the ground in his hand.
"This? Ten thousand Cruzeiro. The male reporter hesitated for a moment and then reported an imaginary number.
"Deal!" Zou Xiaoqing didn't say a word, and directly took out 10,000 Cruzeiro from his leather bag and handed it to the other party.
Seeing that Zou Xiaoqing was so bold, the other party could only hand over the photo.
After getting the photo, Zou Xiaoqing carefully blew the ash on the photo, then blushed, put it directly into his inner arms, and talked to himself.
"Ou Chuliang, Ou Chuliang, my sister is waiting for you to grow up."
"Alas, but when you grow up, your sister is also old, how can this be good!"
The reporters stayed for a while, took a few random photos, and then left one after another.
After the bus break, Ou Chuliang had a Bundy on his forehead and returned to the court.
"Coach, I brought the water."
Ou Chuliang's hands loosened, and two buckets of water were placed firmly on the ground.
"Okay, thank you." Zhu Guanghu nodded.
"By the way, Xiao Ou, come here, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?"
"Remember the young Brazilian who stood up and juggled the ball? Well, he just left, and he got into the car. ”
Following Zhu Guanghu's hand, Ou Chuliang saw a red bus slowly leaving. In the back window of the bus, the face of the Brazilian teenager just now was faintly visible.
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"He's from São Paulo's youth team."
"So what?"
"He came this time to represent the youth team of São Paulo and invited us to play a friendly match in São Paulo."
"The one who wrote the war? And then what? Ou Chuliang shrugged his shoulders, his face still unchanged.
Zhu Guanghu stared at Ou Chuliang's face for a few seconds, and sighed after confirming that he was indeed not "excited".
"Well, you're more mature than your peers."
"I made an appointment with them, and in a week, we went to São Paulo."
