Chapter 9: Two Men

Friday, Pier Street SE, Mariner Park.

The vegetation in the garden is lush and varied, among which vines and flowers are the first. All the wooden landscape shelves and walls of the park are attached to the layers, three-leaf or five-leaf stems and vines, lush.

Mariner's Park, formerly known as Royal Navy Park, was built in the late 19th century as a temporary garrison for the British Navy.

After World War II, the navy was withdrawn, and Ipswich was converted into a civilian port, and with the signing of the European Coal and Steel Community Treaty, Ipswich became an important port for the Commonwealth's trade with Europe, and became increasingly prosperous.

As a result, a large number of unemployed workers came to earn a living, and the lush vegetation of the Royal Navy Park became a respite for dock workers who had no permanent place to escape the heat.

Gradually, the name of the park changed from Royal Navy Park to Sailor's Park.

With the establishment of the European Union and the expansion of the port of Ipswich, Mariner's Park could no longer accommodate the large number of dock workers, so the Queen's Park, which was located in the northwest of the port, was born.

At this point, Mariner Park gradually declined and even became deserted, except for young people who love street culture, it is probably some drunks who buy drunk late at night to stray.

Joe. Charles is one of them.

Last night he indulged in a booze at the Ilmez restaurant, and when he came out, he couldn't tell the difference between east and west, and in his confusion, Charles broke into Mariner Park, found a wooden bench that was still intact, and lay down all night.

In the meantime, he is dreaming of a private scouting club with a big business, covering the big clubs of the five major leagues. Of course, if the employer gives a lot of money, Charles doesn't mind, Qatar Super League or the American Major League.

In the dream, Charles negotiated another deal, and he found the best football talent for the Premier League giants Manchester United, and the bounty was very rich.

And just as the signing was completed and everyone was celebrating with champagne, there was an inopportune knocking sound from the neighbor next door.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound is getting louder.

Gradually, the picture of joy blurred, and the pounds in Charles's hand became smaller and smaller until they were empty.

Charles was annoyed, he blamed it all on his neighbors, and if it weren't for him, how could the pound in his hand be gone.

Charles opened the door, only to see a teenager with his hands in his thighs pockets behind his back, boredom kicking a soccer ball against a wall.

Charles rubbed his eyes, and the picture became clear, it was still a teenager, a football, and the wall.

Looking around, Charles remembered a trivial memory, what had just been a dream, and now what he saw was reality, but he was still annoyed.

He stood up and shouted at the boy with his back to him: "If you can gallop on the green field by practicing your footwork against the wall, then anyone you meet on the street will be Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo!" Brat! ”

Hearing the sound, Gao Sheng was stunned for a moment, but the movement under his feet was not interrupted, and he still accurately kicked the ball that bounced back from the wall and kicked it back to the wall.

Lao Fei said that with the gradual improvement of ball sense, juggling training is no longer important, and is replaced by some other training with more practical value.

Therefore, since Andres Iniesta increased the difficulty of training five days ago, the practice of facing the wall at the Mariners' Park has become the latest training program of Gao Sheng.

The purpose of Iniesta's practice against the wall is to take advantage of the uncertainty of the reaction force of the wall to exercise Gao Sheng's control of football. As an individual, you can never know in advance how powerful your teammate's pass will be, so this places a high demand on the player to touch the ball with the first foot, and it is precisely the reaction force of the wall that meets this training demand.

In order to achieve the training purpose, Iniesta raised the original 300 consecutive bouncing of the ball to 500 kicks on the wall with his left and right feet, and also required Gao Sheng to fix a range of each hit on the wall, about the size of a basin, to improve the accuracy of passing.

Based on the training requirements, in order not to disturb or be affected, Gao Sheng chose the training location in the abandoned Sailor Park.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would be able to meet him unexpectedly in the depths of the park, and this guy's wake-up breath seems to be not small.

Seeing that the young man was unmoved, still kicking the football under his feet against the wall, making a palpitating thumping sound, Charles was depressed for a while and simply walked up.

"Boy! Am I talking to you? Didn't you hear? ”

Originally, Gao Sheng didn't want to deal with the man who came to his side, but the pungent smell of alcohol mixed with the smell of other saliva really made it difficult for Gao Sheng to turn a blind eye.

Gao Sheng raised his eyelids slightly, looked up and down at the haggard, unshaven, and sloppy man in front of him, and said, "Something?" ”

Charles laughed angrily and said, "Of course! Or else? ”

"Hmmm! Wait a minute. After saying that, Gao Sheng ignored it and shifted his gaze to football.

Ignored by a little kid, Charles's face was hot, and just as he was having a seizure.

Gao Sheng suddenly increased the range of his movements, and slammed the bouncing ball back to the wall.

Bang! A bang!

In the face of this situation, Gao Shenghun didn't take it seriously, calmly took a step back, stood with his left leg, raised his right leg and used the arch of his foot to unload the ball steadily, then turned to the instep of his foot, and gently picked it up and fell into his arms.

The whole process was smooth and smooth in one go, and Charles, who witnessed this scene, his eyes widened, and his confused state suddenly sobered up a lot.

Gao Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, tucked the ball under his armpit, faced Charles, and said, "I'm sorry, I may have bothered you just now, but I still want to remind you that although Mariner Park is deserted, it is still a public place." You will be more comfortable sleeping at home, sir. ”

After speaking, Gao Sheng didn't look at Charles's reaction, turned around and threw the ball into the air, lifted the ball up with his forehead, and walked slowly towards the exit of the park.

Charles froze in place, and when he turned his gaze to the wall beside him, he saw that in the center of the wall was a circle made of stone, and there were countless football marks in it.

Without exception, the imprints all fell in the center of the circle, not a trace fell outside the circle, and the originally flat wall was slightly inverted in the form of a spider web in the countless messy ball marks.

Seeing this, Charles's originally cloudy eyeballs flashed with a scorching light, which instantly ignited the heart in the chest cavity, causing it to start beating violently.

"This kid ............

………

"Four hundred and thirty-two times on the inside of the left foot, two hundred and sixty-eight times on the outside, six hundred and eighty-three times on the inside of the right foot, three hundred and seventeen times on the outside, two hundred and seventy-six times on the chest and three hundred and twenty-one times on the thigh...... Call! Overfulfilled. ”

Coming out of the depths of the park, Gao Sheng juggled the ball and silently counted the number of times he practiced against the wall before, with the improvement of the ball sense, coupled with the skillful juggling skills, Gao Sheng can already do two things.

Like the bouncing exercise, the wall practice is just as boring, but the feeling of touching the ball every time you touch the ball can always bring a new experience to Gao Sheng, and this experience becomes clearer and clearer with the increase of the number of times.

If Gao Sheng is not mistaken, he is not far from Iniesta's request for a kick.

Of course, all of this is thanks to Lao Fei's ear in his mind, although the wall practice is still the most basic training, because it is still training to pass and catch the ball, but Lao Fei's requirements for high promotion are extremely high, but whenever there is a little mistake, he will immediately put forward and ask for correction.

Under such strict requirements, the quality of Gao Sheng's training is quite high, at least Gao Sheng no longer has to worry about what position and strength should be used for a wide range of passes.

Everything is steadily improving, and now, Gao Sheng has an inexplicable expectation, and he fantasizes about what kind of exclusive football skills Iniesta will give him in the future.

Shot on goal?

Fancy outstanding?

Gao Sheng thought, and before he knew it, he had come to the exit of the park.

At the rusty iron door, Murphy wore sunglasses and wrapped his arms around him, leaning against the door, watching the rise of the ball all the way.

"The pace is steady, the control is steady, and the juggling skills are very good." Murphy looked at it, nodded involuntarily, and then stretched out a hand to beckon Gao Sheng.

"Juggling practice should be done before the age of twelve, it seems a little late now, little one."

Gao Sheng looked up and didn't speak, when Murphy walked up, reached down and pulled his glasses, revealing half of his blue eyes, and said, "Meet me, my name is Murphy." ”……
