Chapter 482: Little fellow
After training the following afternoon, Feng Quan approached Courtois again, hoping that the opponent could be his penalty sparring partner.
After Diego Simeone's guidance the day before, Feng Quan's penalty success rate has not reached the level of rebirth, but it has still made a lot of progress. In the nearly half an hour of "penalty training", Fengquan's success rate has increased from about 4 percent before to about 7 percent now.
Not only that, but when Feng Quan's "penalty training" ended, when he turned on the system to confirm how much he had improved, there was an unexpected surprise.
In addition to the [Penalty] attribute that originally only had 55 points soared to 70 points, Feng Quan's [Shot] and [Calm] attributes have also increased by 2 points. In addition, because Feng Quan's "football professional attributes" have improved a lot since the beginning of this season, his "comprehensive evaluation of football professional ability" has also been improved from the previous "wing offensive core" to "offensive core".
Since Feng Quan successfully improved his "Football Professional" level, the system also rewarded him with 5 skill points as usual.
For Feng Quan, who wants to further improve the level of [Great God's Light] and lead the Chinese football team with a weak foundation to break into the World Cup again, every skill point is extremely valuable. If the system is willing to "sell" skill points, even if a skill point is priced at 10 million euros, Feng Quan will not hesitate to pay for it.
It's a pity that the vast system of supernatural powers is not uncommon banknotes, so Feng Quan can only accumulate steadily little by little.
…………
With more than half of the players in the Atletico Madrid first team returning to their respective national teams, the team's daily training cannot afford to be without practical training for a long time. Therefore, in order to make up the number of players in the group, Diego Simeone temporarily transferred more than a dozen players from the Atletico Madrid B team and the Under-19 youth team to join the first team training.
With the addition of more than a dozen players, on the one hand, it can temporarily solve the problem of the lack of players in the first team, and on the other hand, it will also allow Diego Simeone to further explore the available talent in the team.
As soon as the dozen or so players who temporarily joined the first team walked into the training ground, Feng Quan found a familiar face in it, and he was still a yellow-skinned Chinese like himself.
However, because this is the first time that Xu Xin, who has been in the Atletico Madrid U19 team for more than two years, has been given the opportunity to train with the first team, he is slightly nervous, but he does not notice Feng Quan's gaze at him.
Although Feng Quan, who has already become a world-class star, has long had the capital to "look down" on all Chinese players, he took the initiative to come to the other party when Xu Xin did not see him.
"Hey, buddy, it's not easy to meet your compatriots here!" Feng Quan smiled and patted Xu Xin's shoulder and said.
Although Xu Xin, who was born in 1994, is only one year younger than Feng Quan, because the "status" difference between the two is too large, Feng Quan's sudden "intimate" move actually made the extroverted Xu Xin a little overwhelmed.
In fact, the vast majority of people present were also confused by Feng Quan's move. They really didn't expect Feng Quan, the hottest attacking player in Europe this season, to show such intimacy with the Under-19 youth team players who were training with the first team for the first time. Could it be because they are all Chinese?
Don't say it, it's true.
Due to the weakening of the overall strength of Chinese football, there are very few Chinese players playing in European leagues, and Chinese players who can play in European giants are even rarer. Therefore, it is very rare to be able to see your "hometown" in the European arena. Moreover, Xu Xin, who was born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, can be regarded as half of Fengquan's hometown (the hometowns of the two are two adjacent cities).
Not only that, the reason why Xu Xin was able to get the opportunity to train with the first team this time is also thanks to Feng Quan's strong recommendation.
In fact, long before Feng Quan joined Atletico Madrid, the head coach of the U19 team also mentioned Xu Xin's name to Diego Simeone. However, when Diego Simeone saw Xu Xin's performance with his own eyes, he was never able to make up his mind to promote him to the first team.
Although Xu Xin's physical fitness and physical confrontation ability are stronger than most players of the same age, even compared with those first-team players who are not good at physical confrontation, he can also occupy a certain advantage. However, his ability to control the ball, as well as the accuracy of his mid-length passes, fell far short of what Atletico Madrid's first team demanded.
Although after nearly a year of hard training, Xu Xin's passing and control ability has improved to a certain extent compared with when he first joined, but his improvement is slightly inferior to that of local Spanish players of the same age.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Xin has not been able to get the opportunity to participate in the first team training.
However, due to Feng Quan's multiple recommendations in the past month, and more than half of the first-team players will miss at least a week of training, Diego Simeone finally agreed to Xu Xin to train with the first team, which can be regarded as giving Feng Quan a "thin face".
…………
After nearly 40 minutes of warm-up practice, assistant coach Herman Boggs divided the 22 players on the training pitch into two teams and then announced a 30-minute half-time group drill.
Just as Hermann Boggs was about to announce the grouping rosters for the two teams, the wind came to his side.
"Mr. Herman, can you put my Chinese fellow Xu Xin in a group with me?" Feng Quan said with a smile.
Although according to Diego Simeone's arrangement, Xu Xin, who can play a cameo role as a central defender, happens to be responsible for keeping an eye on Feng Quan, but for the sake of Feng Quan's "face", Xu Xin was finally assigned to Feng Quan's group.
Since there are already two genuine central defenders in this group, Xu Xin stands in the midfield position that he is best at.
…………
Since most of the main players of the Atletico Madrid first team are playing with their respective national teams, the technical and tactical content of this internal group match, as well as the intensity of the physical confrontation, are greatly discounted.
As a result, it will be difficult to catch the eye of Diego Simeone unless a player has an extremely impressive performance.
However, Xu Xin, who has always left Diego Simeone with the impression of "fighting bravely and rough in technique", made the Argentine coach suddenly feel like his eyes were bright.
Although accurate mid-length passing is a necessary ability for an excellent midfielder, if you want to achieve a success rate of more than 8% in the long pass under the interference of the opponent, not many people can do it.
In this group game, Xu Xin, as always, showed his fierce defense, and also used accurate medium and long passes in the backfield many times to create opportunities for his teammates in the front court to attack quickly.
In Diego Simeone's impression, if the distance of the pass is more than 40 meters, Xu Xin's pass success rate is about 6%.
But today's Xu Xin, the success rate of long passes is at least about 8 percent, and the short and medium distance passes within 30 meters have almost no mistakes.
Not only that, Xu Xin's ability to control the ball and get rid of it in the game was also greatly unexpected by Diego Simeone.
In the past, Xu Xin, even in the face of an opponent's marking, rarely chose to break through with the ball. But today, he broke through the opponent's defense with the ball many times. There was even a time when two players on the opposing side came from both sides, and successfully crossed the opponent's bag defense with a "croquette" action.
