Chapter 369: It's crucial to want to be light-key and low-key
University College London.
In a girl's high-end apartment, two female students are chasing and fighting, the girl with pigtails in front of her is simply draped in a bath towel, she is holding a bath towel in one hand to prevent the secrets of her body from leaking, and the other hand is holding a mobile phone, running around the table, chairs and sofas in the living room, and laughing constantly, "Laura, don't be angry!" I just gave it a try, maybe he agreed, didn't you say I liked him a little? ”
"Don't make jokes like that!"
Flora paused with her hands on her hips, her expression full of shyness and anger, "Erin, hurry up and give me back your phone!"
"Nope! I'm going to see his reply!"
"He doesn't necessarily reply, he doesn't know my number, I still ...... his number with someone else"
"How?" Ellie said as he pressed the back of the sofa with one hand, ignoring the falling bath towel, and laughed, "That's right! Your father, Mr Ashley, is already the owner of Newcastle United. He's just joined Newcastle United and you can easily tell his number. ”
Flora was depressed and did not speak.
"You have a chance!" Ellie's eyes lit up as he spoke, "Your father is his boss, and you are the boss's daughter, and this is the love story of the boss's daughter and the employee." ”
"Yes, I think you can try, based on your future experience, write a book of love, it will definitely sell well......"
Flora was so embarrassed that she couldn't help but say, "You also have a chance." Didn't you say you liked him too? Still want to take the initiative to get to know him, but don't have the opportunity? ”
"That's just idolatry!"
"I also watch football and of course I like good players. ”
"You also said that if he pursues you on his own initiative, he can also try to date?"
"Just casually." Erin said nonchalantly, "I've given up since I knew you liked him. I'm the best friend and he's not a racer, so I'm definitely going to love racing in the future. ”
Flora asked disdainfully, "Because your father's business is racing?" ”
Erin nodded and admitted, "That's why I'm very optimistic about you." ”
The phone vibrates.
Erin immediately looked at the screen excitedly and read the message back, "I'm sorry, after the team game, the players can't leave the team without permission, I'm going back to Newcastle that night?" ”
"He's rejecting you......"
Erin's expression was a little sad, and there was something called 'sympathy' in her eyes.
Flora walked over.
This time Erin didn't run again, she returned the phone to Flora, picked up the bath towel from the ground, and wrapped it around her body again, "I really didn't expect it, I thought you were ...... I'm sorry. ”
"It's okay."
Flora looked left and right at the message, pretending not to care, and said, "I said a long time ago, I met him once, only talked a few times, and I just thought he was ...... Very handsome and charismatic. ”
Erin nodded approvingly, "He's really attractive, but there are many attractive men, he's a professional athlete, and to be honest, it's not for you." ”
Flora listened and nodded.
"But." Erin continued, "I don't remember who you've been in a relationship with, and if you have a crush on him, I think it's ......good to take the initiative and learn some experience with men."
Next, Erin talked at length about how to date men and how to take the initiative to tease men.
She seems to be very experienced.
After saying a lot, Flora's mood became a little better.
The two then went back to their rooms.
It's time to rest.
After Flora lay in bed, she thought back to the scene of that day, and felt that what Erin said was very reasonable, and that she had a good impression of a man, and maybe she should take the initiative.
Erin also returned to the room.
The first thing she did was to stand in front of the mirror, let go of the bath towel in her hand, and a beautiful, extremely feminine body appeared in front of her.
She kept admiring and said to herself, "Of course I like him too." ”
"Although I haven't seen it yet, so many people like him, he is so charming...... If I could meet, he would definitely fall in love with me. ”
"If he takes the initiative to pursue me, then there is no way, who makes me more beautiful?"
Erin couldn't help but laugh.
————
Zhen Shaolong sent a reply, and forgot about it, he and Flora only met once, what happened at that time was a hormonal rush, and it was over that when it passed.
Michael Ashley is a rich man, but he doesn't sacrifice his temperance for money.
Yes.
Zhen Shaolong attaches great importance to discipline.
In the case of systematic threats, he didn't even think about talking about feelings, most of the women's things don't take it to heart, including Alice, Claudio, Rena, Diane Kruger, etc., he is not the kind of playboy who has no heart and lungs, both parties can solve the problem if they are willing, it doesn't matter if they don't want to, he also has a lot of feelings for them......
But the system threats!
Under the overwhelming pressure of the system, it is purely deceptive to talk about emotional single-mindedness.
So forget it......
In terms of emotional matters, Zhen Shaolong is always at ease with what he encounters, getting by, only doing what he is willing to do, and going on a date with a girl, no matter how you think about it, it is a little unreliable.
It's still football that's important.
The next day was matchday again, with Newcastle United travelling to Middlesbrough.
Zhen Shaolong continued to start the game and unexpectedly encountered a tough opponent-
Jonathan Woodgate:
The star, who was born at Leeds United with Smith, also played for Newcastle United, but after transferring to Real Madrid, he almost became a meteor because of an injury that lasted for 17 months, but after returning to the Premier League, he successfully recovered from injury and regained his form, and has become a star that Middlesbrough relies on.
"Jonathan don't cope!"
Alan Smith's advice to Zhen Shaolong is, "Try not to confront him head-on, he is very good at bullying people with his body." ”
Zhen Shaolong thinks back to Smith's words, and feels a little weird, the main Woodgate is considered a 'glass man', who has played for Newcastle United and Real Madrid in the past, and has experienced various injuries, and the longest time is more than a year.
'Glass Man' bullies people with their bodies?
Not afraid of getting hurt?
When he really fought with Woodgate, Zhen Shaolong knew that the other party had the capital to 'bully people with his body', the other party was too strong, and every time he collided with the other party, he would be at an absolute disadvantage.
That's pretty impressive!
If it was a season ago, Zhen Shaolong was 'bullied with his body' by the other party in the game, which didn't seem to be a big deal, but now his strength and endurance have increased a lot, and his confrontation ability is not strong, and he is also at a mid-stream level, and he is no longer so weak.
The effect can also help, Zhen Shaolong is not afraid of head-on collisions at all.
In continuous physical confrontation with Woodgate, he has always been at an absolute disadvantage, and it is definitely not just a matter of strength, the other party is also very experienced in confrontation, and knows how to use the minimum force to achieve the maximum effect.
Confrontation ability.
Experience.
The gap between the two aspects makes Zhen Shaolong unable to take advantage of it, it is not easy for him to get the ball at the front, and it is not easy to break through personally when he gets the ball, Woodgate has given a lot of pressure, he wants to use it, and he needs to be patient to find opportunities.
Throughout the first half, Zhen Shaolong could hardly talk about performance, and it can only be said that he successfully attracted the attention of the defense, but the praise from the outside world was given to Woodgate, who thought that Woodgate 'successfully stared at Zhen Shaolong'.
Second.
Zhen Shaolong knew a little bit about how to play, and he began to run constantly.
Assistant coach Cavro's nagging is very annoying, but I have to say that the basic guidance of tactics has helped Zhen Shaolong a lot, and the continuous one-on-one guidance has also made Zhen Shaolong know how to run, so as to find the best chance to find a vacancy.
This involves all sorts of issues with the movement of other players, the attacking routes in the middle, the two wings, etc.
When really on the playing field, a team's offense seems to change at any time, for example, a player is forced to grab, may pass the ball to the middle, or may choose to pass back, each player takes it out individually, it is not regular, but the entire midfield can be linked to the team's tactical direction and style, and there are still certain rules to follow.
Zhen Shaolong ran according to his understanding.
When he is running continuously, it is not easy for Woodgate to keep an eye on all the time, because he is the core of Middlesbrough's defence, and he has the task of marking Zhen Shaolong, and he can't do that all the time.
Then Zhen Shaolong found the gap.
In the 71st minute of the game, Zhen Shaolong received a pass with his right foot in the penalty area, and there was only one Po Gates in front of him, who came over to scramble for the first time, but his experience was too poor.
When the football rolled over, Zhen Shaolong had already rushed up, turned on to let the football have a follow-up effect, and took advantage of the momentary time difference, he immediately crossed Pogatez, ran forward for nearly three meters or so, and glanced at the goal without the slightest hesitation--
Shot!
Zhen Shaolong's passing and shooting were too smooth, so that Middlesbrough could not counterattack, and goalkeeper Schwarzer didn't even have time to make a judgment, and when he raised his hand to save, the football had already flown into the goal first.
It was also the only goal of the game.
In the end, Newcastle United relied on Zhen Shaolong's goal to defeat the home team Middlesbrough by one goal, winning the third round of the league, and at the same time making a good start to three consecutive league wins.
Newcastle United are very excited.
After the game, Zhen Shaolong rarely accepted an interview, mainly because the interview location was in the stadium, and under the attention of many fans, the effect would be triggered, and the location was different if it was a mixed area, and it was difficult for hundreds of women to watch in the mixed area, and if there was no effect, he had no idea of being interviewed at all.
This time, Zhen Shaolong told the 'truth'.
'Woodgate put me under a lot of pressure, he's very tough defensively and he's very experienced, and it's hard for me to get out of ......'
Zhen Shaolong talked a little about the game, and then was asked a 'big problem', because he has been in a 'transparent person' state for a long time in the game, and the outside world generally believes that he is not suitable for the Premier League style.
Zhen Shaolong 'calmly' admitted, "The Premier League is different from the Bundesliga, and I haven't adapted to it yet. ”
"Yes, I admit it."
"Premier League...... How so? After three games, I felt the toughness of the fight, for example, Woodgate in this one, and some other opponents......"
Zhen Shaolong said a lot of good things about his opponents, and repeatedly said that he was 'really not adaptable' and 'uncertain in the future', and said, "If it continues, we may encounter a goal drought." ”
Wait a minute.
These 'sincere' answers made the reporters excited, and they couldn't help but praise Zhen Shaolong's straightforwardness and have a good impression of his frank character.
Turn your head......
There are various reports in the media that 'Zhen Shaolong will suffer a goal drought'.
The relevant reports of various media are very hot, and the 'unoptimistic faction' obviously overwhelms the 'optimistic faction', because what they report is not analysis, but what Zhen Shaolong himself admitted.
That's the real story!
In the remarks that the outside world is not optimistic, Zhen Shaolong feels very relaxed, of course he said it on purpose, if there is any difference between the Premier League and the Bundesliga, he is right.
Not adapting?
Zhen Shaolong feels that he is not suitable for the Bundesliga, because most of his goals are completed using skills, and it is the same in the Premier League, is there a difference between adapting and not adapting?
The key is...... It's low-key!
In last season's Bundesliga, the follow-up games were very depressing, and when there was no strong skill support, it was difficult for him to perform well in the face of the opponent's close marking.
Now in the Premier League, he actually feels a lot more relaxed, and his previous three opponents, namely Middlesbrough, have defended tightly.
Premier League opponents don't pay attention to it!
Now it's time to take advantage of the opponent's lack of attention, play more easy games, and when the number of goals gradually accumulates and all opponents begin to pay attention, it may go to the mode of last season, once you enter the front court, two or three players around you for a long time.
That's so depressing!
On the last day of August, Newcastle United host Wigan Athletic.
Zhen Shaolong continued to start.
Alan Smith came on on the left and started for the first time.
Alan Smith's appearance has little impact on others, but it has brought a great bonus to Zhen Shaolong, because Smith has carried out many 'routine cooperation' with him.
It makes a lot of sense.
The first goal came from the 'routine' combination.
Alan Smith's corner kick was kicked directly to Milner, who kicked directly to the bottom line on the side, and a pass that seemed to be a 'mistake' suddenly came out of Zhen Shaolong.
Zhen Shaolong rushed to the ball quickly, successfully saved it in front of the baseline, and then kicked a strange arc at the baseline, and the football quickly bypassed the defender and goalkeeper and drilled headlong into the far corner.
"...... the ball went in?"
At the moment when the goal happened, the commentator's shouts revealed uncertainty, and then seeing the referee's actions, he was sure that the goal was completed, and he immediately said, "This goal is incredible, we can only determine the ...... we see through slow motion"
In slow motion, the subtle arc of the baseline kick is shown.
The commentator finally came back to his senses, and suddenly remembered that last season, when many German media reported that Zhen Shaolong was good at playing arcs, he didn't care too much, there are too many stars in European football who are good at playing arcs, and it is nothing to have one more Zhen Shaolong.
But this kick ......
Arc?
No, it's a show!
"Zhen Shaolong completed the performance of the bottom line, he shot with a zero angle and sent the ball into the goal."
"I don't know how this kind of ball is played."
"But it's amazing!"
