Chapter 443: It's Time to Use Your Skills!
The last game between Newcastle United and Manchester United had a great impact on Michael Owen, and he believes that he has seen through Zhen Shaolong and found the right way to accumulate luck.
He's trying to do it, trying to feel.
Of course, now is not the time to accumulate luck, Owen thinks that only in the game, continuous closing of the eyes will have an effect, but you can experience it before, the way to accumulate luck and produce effects, it will definitely have a little effect on weekdays, right?
Owen wasn't sure.
When he sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, he found that this action could relax his mind, and when he opened his eyes again, his whole body would become very relaxed, and his brain seemed to become more flexible.
"Yes!"
"That's how it feels!"
"If you get to the game, even if you can't accumulate luck, you can definitely help break out in a better state!"
Owen was a little unsure before, but after experiencing the feeling of closing his eyes continuously, he was convinced of it.
Meantime.
Manchester United's morning training is also about to begin.
Most of the Manchester United players are still very positive, many of them came early, but there is one figure that is very special, and that is the main striker Wayne Rooney.
Wayne Rooney usually comes to training with a pinch and he's not a very aggressive player.
Today is different.
Rooney even arrived more than half an hour early, but it was still time to come to the training ground, and when he arrived at the training ground, he found goalkeeper Kuczak and did shooting training together.
The impact of the last game on Rooney was huge, and he found that his shots could be accurate to that extent, and as long as the shooting ability was at its peak, it didn't matter if it was otherwise bad.
Look no further than Newcastle United's number 13!
Whether it is physical, technical, experience, the opponent does not have a particularly outstanding one, the most prominent can be said to be the shot, similar players in the past are not in the eyes of Rooney, he believes that comprehensive ability is the most important, no matter how accurate the shot is, there is no chance to play at all.
Now Rooney's perception has changed dramatically.
In English football, and even European football and world football, if anyone says that the opponent's No. 13 performance is not good, he is really a guy with a problem in his head.
The goal stats speak for themselves!
For a striker, scoring goals is the most important thing, as long as you can score the ball, it doesn't matter if you are skilled or not, whether you are physical or not.
Wayne Rooney has also become determined, and he has decided to train hard and try to improve his shooting skills, even if he can't catch up with the opponent's number 13, but he must improve somewhat.
That kind of effort was seen in the eyes of Kuczzak, who watched the game from the bench and understood Rooney's approach, and he cheered Rooney and said, "If he can do it, you can do it too!" ”
"Wayne, come on!"
"As long as you're interested, I'll train with you every day!"
Rooney was so moved by Kuczzak's statement that he quickly said, "Thank you, thank you", and then continued to devote himself to the continuous shooting training.
It's a boring process.
The most unbearable thing is that continuous training can not see improvement, basic training in a short period of time, it is almost impossible to produce results, every star's technology, can be said to have been honed, several years, more than ten years of training.
Therefore, before the age of twenty, the efforts of youth and youth play a decisive key role in the height of a player's future growth.
On the contrary, after becoming a professional player, most of the time has to be devoted to playing and recovering, and there is no time to do personal training, and the ability is also limited by the body, except for the game experience, there will be no improvement.
This is something that every professional footballer knows.
Rooney was well aware that after a period of back-to-back shots, he didn't feel much motivation.
"What's the use of trying like that?"
"Wasted energy!"
I don't know when, Ferdinand stood next to Rooney, and after Rooney completed a shot, Ferdinand suddenly smiled and said, "Wayne, I have something to share with you, it has something to do with the last game." ”
With a mysterious expression, Ferdinand leaned into Rooney's ear and whispered, "I discovered the secret of that thirteen's good performance!" ”
"Huh?"
"Do you listen to me?" Ferdinand asked.
Rooney was panting for a while, shook his head and continued to do his own training, feeling that Ferdinand was just ridiculing himself, and the other party still looked mysterious, just ignore this kind of thing.
Ferdinand wasn't angry.
He walked away.
Before walking away, Ferdinand left a sentence, "Well, I know you don't believe it, then what I said is true, come to me whenever you are interested!" ”
Morning.
Manchester United had normal training, Ferguson and the Manchester United coaching staff, they were very strict with the training requirements, and everyone knew that Ferguson was in a bad mood because Manchester United had just suffered a big defeat, even a humiliating bloodbath.
So every player was serious and they didn't want Ferguson to take his anger out on themselves.
Wayne Rooney is also one of them.
In free training, Rooney was doing his own shooting drills, but he only kicked two or three times before he couldn't help but wave at Ferdinand, "Leo! ”
Ferdinand walked over with a smile on his face.
Rooney couldn't help but ask, "What exactly did you say in the morning?" What a mystery! ”
Ferdinand smiled confidently, "I knew you would come to me, but what I said was true. In the last game, although I didn't defend the opponent, I watched carefully and roughly guessed the reason for his good performance. ”
"Tell me."
"You can try to do it my way!" Rio Ferdinand became very cautious, he leaned into Rooney's ear and kept looking around, "I've summed it up, the first thing you have to do is close your eyes and think carefully about where the goal is. ”
"This is the first step of training!"
"If you can get there, no matter where you stand on the pitch, you can instantly tell in your mind where the goal is...... For example, if you are standing in the penalty area, you don't have to look at the goal, you can score the ball with your head down, you have completed the first step......"
Rooney was dumbfounded, he felt like he was listening to magic, but if you think about it, what Ferdinand said could really work!

Newcastle United's March tournament starts with the English FA Cup.
March 2nd.
Newcastle United play Preston North End away.
Playing against a Championship team, even away from home, it was easy, but Newcastle United was in trouble, Preston's defense was very tight, Newcastle United 70 minutes, did not be able to score a goal, Allardyce couldn't stand it, and finally sent Zhen Shaolong on the field, but it was not Zhen Shaolong who scored, he encountered a very tight defense, did Martins take the opportunity to find an opportunity and successfully sent the ball into the Preston goal.
Thanks to Martins' goal, Newcastle United beat Breston by one goal and successfully advanced to the next round of the FA Cup.
Three days later.
The 28th round of the English Premier League started, and Newcastle United hosted Blackburn Rover.
In the eyes of many media, there is no suspense in the game, Newcastle United is very strong at home, and they also bloodied Manchester United in the last leg, so it is naturally impossible to lose to Blackburn.
The media forecasts are somewhat optimistic.
Newcastle United's squad is still missing, the defence has been greatly affected, and in attack, Owen has returned to training but is still recovering from an injury and will not be able to play for the team.
Zhen Shaolong is partnered with Martins, Martins' technical ability is still worse than Owen's, and it is difficult for him to rely on his personal ability to break the goal.
Zhen Shaolong was tightly guarded.
Blackburn Rovers play a dense defense, they keep the box airtight, the midfield line is fast and the back line is superimposed, and the attack relies on two strikers to fight.
This style of play may sound like giving up on attack, but Blankburn is considered one of the strongest teams in the forward line, and it can even be said that it is no worse than any team.
Blackburn's forward partners are McCarthy and Santa Cruz.
The experienced and efficient McCarthy doesn't talk much about it.
Santa Cruz has shown the same adaptability as Fernando Torres when he arrived in the Premier League, finishing fifth in the Premier League's scorer charts and scoring more than enough of his form.
In the 37th minute, Blackburn had the back of the net and took advantage of a counter-attack when McCarthy crossed diagonally to Santa Cruz, who dribbled past Taylor and sent the ball into the bottom corner.
Blackburn's lead lasted 30 minutes.
In the 69th minute of the game, Newcastle United equalized, the goal was Zhen Shaolong, he was very closely defended, there were two players around him for a long time, but he still found a good opportunity, on the right side of the penalty area fifteen meters from the goal, he used a bounced barb shot, directly into the far corner.
1 to 1!
That score continued into the 85th minute, and by the end of the game, the game had become less intense, as Blackburn had defended almost all of their lives and McCarthy had been substituted.
In the face of such a turtle-level defense, Newcastle United has nothing to do.
The fans and the media in the stands around thought that the game would end 1-1, because it was almost impossible for Newcastle United to play a good chance in a short period of time.
It takes a temporary play and a certain amount of luck.
Zhen Shaolong didn't give up, others have no way, it doesn't mean that he has no way, the active effect of "Archery" hasn't been used yet, he is just hesitating to use it.
The effect is a goal.
As long as you use it actively, you can help the team beat Blackburn, but the game is just an ordinary league game, and the use of skills seems to be a bit wasteful.
After careful consideration, Zhen Shaolong decided to use it, because Newcastle United has no other major competitions to play.
The league is the most important thing.
It's a waste if you don't use skills, and it's worth it to help the team get one more win and two more points.
