Chapter 62: The Importance of Basic Training
"How did the ball go in?"
"The other party's thirteenth, you can score this way! He seems to have entered it with his stomach......"
"Are you sure it's not a third leg?"
"That guy is really good, no wonder he has scored goals lately, he has an extra leg than other strikers!"
ββ¦β¦β
The stands around the Black Forest Stadium were filled with discussions from fans, and the fans of the home team Freiburg were not in a good mood when they saw St. Pauli score, and naturally there were no good words to talk about goals.
It didn't affect the field.
Zhen Shaolong raised his eyebrows and said a word to Stenzel, and then he was about to turn around and celebrate with his teammates, but found that Stenzel's eyes were a little wrong, he glanced in the direction of his eyes, and immediately blocked the key parts with his hands, and before he could make other reactions, Sulentic rushed over from the side, "Are you okay?" β
"What?"
Sulentik smiled and looked back and forth at the key parts.
Zhen Shaolong glanced left and right, and the eyes of the others were similar, and he immediately reacted, and said angrily with a dark face, "I'm fine!" The ball hit here. He pointed to the left side of his abdomen.
Everyone around them nodded their heads to acknowledge that they had heard, but their eyes remained the same.
"Damn!"
Zhen Shaolong didn't have the excitement of scoring a goal.
The TV station that broadcast the game live is playing back the goal screen over and over again, and every time the football hits Zhen Shaolong, it will stop immediately, and after switching back and forth a few angles, the commentator confirmed, "The football hit Zhen's abdomen, but this position is also very dangerous, if you are unlucky, you may injure the kidneys......
"If you go a little further down ......"
The commentator said a lot, which means that scoring goals is very dangerous, and the possibility of accidents is not small, but watching Zhen Shaolong jumping around, there should be no problem.

With Zhen Shaolong's goal, St. Pauli took the lead over the home team Freiburg, and there was not much time left in the first half, and the referee quickly blew the final whistle, and both teams went off the break.
When he returned to the locker room, Bergman was concerned about Zhen Shaolong's situation, "That goal...... Ahem...... I mean, you're okay with your body, right? β
Zhen Shaolong nodded depressedly.
"That's good."
Bergman cared for a moment and talked about the way the players played in the second half, and then let the players rest.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Freiburg's defense against Zhen Shaolong has become tighter.
Not only Sternzel, but even another central defender, including the fullback on the right side, frequently stood next to him, which also made Zhen Shaolong unable to perform at all, because even if he stood outside the penalty area, he couldn't receive the pass at all.
If he just can't receive a pass, Zhen Shaolong is not worried, he doesn't rely on cooperation to score goals.
But......
Even the normal running is seriously affected, the defenders next to him are all big guys, standing there can be used as a big stake, it takes time to get around, and it is not easy to rush up in a small area near the penalty area.
Zhen Shaolong played a little depressed, but he was not depressed for long, because most of the time, football was under the control of Freiburg, and they launched continuous attacks in the St. Pauli penalty area.
Thirty minutes into the second half, St. Pauli's defensive situation was very serious, and head coach Bergman simply replaced Zhen Shaolong and replaced a defender to strengthen the defense.
This strategy proved to be correct.
After the defenders came out, St. Pauli's backfield defense was more intensive, and it was not easy for Freiburg to break through the dense defense, and every attack was stopped, until the end of the game, they were not able to complete the goal, and could only accept defeat in frustration.
St. Pauli won the last round of the league away from home with Zhen Shaolong's goal.
It was a win that made the whole team happy.
On the way back to Hamburg, Bergmann kept a smile on his lips, it was a relaxed and satisfied smile, because St. Pauli has been very good recently, defeating Allen, Ketbus, SaarbrΓΌcken and Freiburg, winning four consecutive league wins, and also jumping up to ninth place in the league, will enter the top half of the league standings, plus the German Cup has defeated Bochum, Hertha Berlin, into the quarterfinals, if the selection of the best team in November and December, St. Pauli will undoubtedly be elected.
At the same time, Bergmann will also be voted the best coach.
Incidentally...... Zhen Shaolong will be elected the best striker, the best player, he is definitely the most outstanding player in the Bundesliga team in recent times, in the past six rounds of the league, he has been substituted twice twice, playing less than 300 minutes, scoring a total of seven goals, an average of 40 minutes to score a goal efficiency, listen to it is very amazing.
Counting the German Cup, it's even more amazing!
In the two games of the German Cup, Zhen Shaolong scored five goals, and the opponents were still Bochum and Hertha Berlin.
Zhen Shaolong's crazy performance is the fundamental reason for St. Pauli's good results, even if Bergman prefers to attribute the credit to his own coaching, but the only thing that can be said is--
"That's how I see it! Flor always said that Zhen's body is not good, and his skills are average...... But I insisted on keeping him and giving him a chance to play, and I knew he was a real talent. β
Bergman said smugly.
The assistant coach who sat with Bergman was full of surprise at Bergman's cheekiness, as far as he knew, Zhen Shaolong entered the first team, and when he participated in training, this guy was full of complaints, and after thinking about it for a few days, he sent Zhen Shaolong back to the youth team.
And now you say that?
While the assistant coach secretly complained, he also found the reason why he could only be an 'assistant', just because he was not blushing and panting, he could tell a lie without being cheeky, which is not easy to learn!
So he could only pull the corners of his mouth and nodded, "Yes, Zhen is very good." "And then, no.
He just couldn't take it anymore.
ββββ
The match between Freiburg and St. Pauli is the final round of the Bundesliga before the winter break.
When he returned to the club, Bergmann announced his holiday schedules.
Because of the team's very good results in recent times, Bergmann has also become much more 'generous', giving the players 16 days off, but the holiday time starts two days later, that is, there are two days of normal training.
A lot of the players were disappointed and they were thinking of going straight to the holidays.
It can't be helped.
There are only 18 teams in the German Second League, the schedule is still relatively loose, the winter break is more than two weeks, and the interval between the two rounds of the league is nearly a month.
This has no effect on Zhen Shaolong, and there is not much difference between a holiday and a holiday.
Zhen Shaolong and Kreuzer agreed that they would take half of the vacation time to come to the training ground together to do basic training, Kreuzer was a little sad to be 'about', and kept complaining that he was a 'training maniac', but finally agreed, he knew the importance of insisting on training.
They are still too young.
Most players don't play in the professional league until they're 20 years old, not because of their talent or anything like that, but because basic training is very important, dribbling, passing, shooting, etc., the basics are more important than anything else.
If the foundation is not laid, no matter how good the talent is, the future growth space is limited.
Everyone who can become a star will go through a lot of training, and most of their life is training, playing, training, playing, and repeating.
On the contrary, there are many people with the aura of genius who enter the professional arena early, and then they will gradually become unknown like shooting stars.
