Chapter 012: Competing for a place in France
Mizuki smiled.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to Sister Shuiyue's help." Wen Jie said gratefully.
Chaksong walked over to Wen Jie with a look of disdain.
"Humph! Chinese boy, this time it's your luck! The third level of the PK test of ball skills is a test of hard power. With only one month of your hard work, it is a fool's dream to win over those of us who have practiced for several years! If you know each other, it's better to give up as soon as possible! so as not to be disgraced! β
Although Mizuki hated Chaxon very much, what he said was true.
The PK test of the third level is completely based on the premise of basic skills!
Principal of Alpha Football School, Trusen, accompanied by the vice president of the Clairefontaine National Football Academy in France, Callenon, said to the young players who have advanced:
"First of all, congratulations! Congratulations to all 100 of you for entering the third test, I hope you will play your best, in line with the principle of 'friendship first, competition second', respect your opponents, and show grace! β
After bringing everyone to the green field, Coach Dean pointed to the number box next to him and said:
"There are 100 numbers in this box β from 1 to 100, everyone draws a number from the box, and the number 1 is drawn to 100, and the number 2 is drawn to 99...... The match drawn to the 50th to the fifth drawn, and so on, the winner of the PK in pairs advances to the next round. Did you hear me clearly? β
"Hear me clearly!"
As a result, Wen Jie drew the 26th.
He will play against a young player who has drawn the number 75!
Chaksun drew No. 74, "Damn! Just one number is missing, and you can clean up that Chinese kid! What a lucky guy! β
Wen Jie walked up to Shui Yue and asked:
"Sister Shuiyue, what number did you draw?"
Shui Yue smiled:
"Sister, I drew No. 1, and the opponent will be No. 100. In the order of the numbers, our group will be the first to start PK! β
Coach Dean called the two over and shouted to everyone:
"It is still necessary to explain to you again the rules of our Alpha Football School, in the final level of the ball PK, the content of the duel will be drawn out of the box by the winner of the 'rock-paper-scissors', and the content of the duel is divided into three types: penalty shootout, ball fighting, obstacle dribbling and dribbling."
If it weren't for Coach Dean's explanation, for students like Xiang Wenjie who have newly joined the Alpha Football School, they wouldn't know what the third level test is compared to.
Still with the whistle as the signal!
With Coach Dean three times "Toot! Honk! Honk! "The whistle sounds, the test of the last level of the "Individual Ball Skills PK Challenge" of Alpha Football School has officially begun!
As the winner of "Rock-paper-Scissors", Mizuki drew out the content of the PK between the two sides - penalty shootout!
The boss of the Brotherhood, Sugree, like Chaksun, also admires Shui Yue very much.
He shouted furiously from the edge of the field:
"Sister Suiyue, come on! each other! β
The No. 100 player on the green field was not frightened by the water moon, but was frightened by Sugree's angry shouts and spread out on the grass.
At the edge of the venue, there was a burst of laughter!!
After the penalty shootout begins, the two sides take turns to take free throws, a total of 5 rounds, and after 5 rounds, the one with the most goals wins! β¦
Player No. 100 doesn't seem to have come out of the fright just now, and he missed all the first 3 free throws!
And Shui Yue's first 3 free throws, 100 shots!
After 3 rounds, Suigetsu took the lead with a score of 3:0.
The next two free throws were no longer necessary.
Coach Dean blew a long whistle and immediately announced:
Suigetsu is the first to enter the top 50 of this challenge!
In the following time, elite players such as Chaxon and Sugree also defeated their respective opponents and advanced to the top 50!
Wen Jie is about to play, and his opponent, player No. 75, looks like a high school student!
"Huh! I really didn't expect Xiaojie to meet Damwang, although he is only 8 years old, his height has reached 1.65 meters! Shui Yue said.
"Sister Shuiyue, if they draw a penalty shootout in a while, Damwang's height is so tall and his arm span is so long, he guards the goal, Xiaojie will definitely suffer!"
Xiao Nan, who was standing next to Shui Yue, worried.
Although Wen Jie won the "rock-paper-scissors" victory, as Xiao Nan feared, he drew the PK of the penalty shootout!!
"Little guy, now I beg me, my brother is happy, I won't let you lose too badly for a while! Hahaha! β
Dhamwang leaned over and shouted arrogantly at Wen Jie.
"I'm not scared! Whoever loses after a while, who will call each other 'brother' in front of the big guys, how about it? Dare to bet with me? β
Wen Jie shot back.
"This ...... What is there to dare to do! β
Damwang didn't expect that the little guy in front of him would still have a bloody nature!
The first to guard the door is Wen Jie!
Damwang glanced at Wen Jie, who was only 1.1 meters tall, and smiled wryly.
"God help me! With a height of only 110 cm, such a short height and arm span, no matter what kind of penalty kick I kick, I believe he will never even touch the hair of the ball! Hey! I'm so lucky! β
Dhamwan was very proud of his good fortune.
Just as Dhamwan was about to make a free throw, he was surprised to find that Wenjie had taken out a small note from his socks.
How could the corners of his mouth show a sly smile, yes! I can't be mistaken! He didn't get nervous at all, but smiled at me!! β
Dhamwan was a little suspicious.
For him, who often watches football games, he knows that some goalkeepers tend to glance at the small note prepared in advance when saving a penalty.
On that small note, the opponent's habit of taking a penalty kick and the direction of the shot are often written.
"Did that little guy investigate me so closely!? What a scary little monster!! β
When he opened his eyes and looked at Wen Jie again, Damwang felt a little worried in his heart, there was a lot of sweat on his forehead, and his legs were a little numb!
Run up!
Shot!
As a result, Damwang shot the ball into the sky due to excessive force!
Dhamwang sat down on the ground.
When Wenjie took the penalty, everyone, including Damwang, didn't expect that Wenjie would kick a spoon penalty!
Spoon penalty, also known as rubbing penalty, is called a spoon because the arc drawn by the ball as it flies resembles the shape of a spoon.
To kick this kind of ball, you need a certain amount of footwork and strength.
"Spoon" is one of the most difficult and aesthetic in picking, and the use of footwork emphasizes "rubbing" rather than "picking", so the action is more concealed and more difficult.
At Euro 1976, Czechoslovakia player Antonin Panenka invented the spoon penalty in the final against West Germany.

Penalties for the second round.
Although Damwang kicked the goal, the ball was weak and confiscated by Wenjie!
Wen Jie, on the other hand, kicked out the theoretical corner, and the ball hung straight into the top right corner of the goal.
Although Dhamwan tried his best to stretch his body, he couldn't stop the ball from running!
2οΌ0οΌ
"What an abomination! Just a little bit! Damwan was annoyed.
Penalties for the third round.
With anger, Dhamwang wanted to make a powerful volley, but once again he failed to control the strength of his legs and hit the anti-aircraft gun!
Next, as long as Wen Jie scores the ball, the PK of the two will end with Wen Jie's victory!
YESοΌ
Damwang, who was out of balance, had a lot of fighting spirit, and only reacted after Wenjie kicked the penalty into the goal.
3οΌ0οΌ
With a 3:0 victory in the penalty shootout, Wenjie successfully advanced to the top 50 of this challenge!
According to the previous bet, Damwang had to shout "brother" to Wenjie in front of everyone.
Everyone pointed at Damwan and laughed again!!
"Haha! This Damwan was slapped in the face! β
"I've long been tired of seeing him look arrogant, he really deserves it!!"
"I just like to see him eat deflated!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"The top 50 players have been decided, and then, everyone will rest for 15 minutes, and we will immediately move on to the next round of PK. The draw and rules of the tournament are the same as in the previous round. β
Coach Dean, who is in charge of the challenge, announced in public.
In this round of the number draw, Wen Jie drew No. 24, and the PK against him will be the No. 27 player!
It is not surprising that elite players such as Shuiyue, Chaksun, and Sugree, who took the lead in the game, once again successfully advanced to become the top 25 players!
Chakzon is really like a-stirring stick, and he appears everywhere.
"Cut! Good luck, Chinese boy! The contestant who was drawn is another soft persimmon! I don't believe that you will always have such good luck!! β
Player No. 27, named Klaisson, is neither a good player like Philgi and Phisho, nor an elite player like Chakson and Sugre.
Klaisson is just an ordinary player at Alpha Football School!
"Sister Shuiyue, why does Chaxon say that Claisson is a soft persimmon?" Xiao Nan was very puzzled.
"Xiao Nan, you can tell at a glance that you didn't watch all the games carefully! In addition to the physical test of the first level, every promotion of Klaisson can be called lucky! In the second level of the juggling test, if Chaxon hadn't deliberately knocked down a large group of people at the end, Klaisson would have been eliminated from the competition! And in the last round of PK, Klaisson easily advanced because of the opponent's abstention! β
Shui Yue is very proud of his intelligence collection.
"Wow! Sister Shuiyue, you are so amazing! I even know everything! Xiao Nan whispered in adoration.
While they were talking, Claisson on the field won the victory of "rock-paper-scissors"!
The content of the duel PK he drew was - obstacle dribbling and dribbling.
The showdown between the two is about to begin!
Coach Dean announced:
"Two people dribble at the same time, and the one who takes the least time wins!"
There are two more test tracks on the pitch, each 100 meters long.
The first 20 meters of the test track are flat and unimpeded.
However, after 20 meters, obstacles such as humanoid obstacles, logo caps, logo discs, training rods, and ice cream cones began to appear on the track.
Before the duel PK began, Wen Jie didn't expect Klaisson to speak first:
"Xiaojie, although I am just an ordinary player's football quality, I am urging myself to practice every day, but I didn't expect you, as an outstanding player's football quality, to practice harder than me! At Alpha Football School, you are the first person I admire in Klaisson! β
Claisson gave himself a thumbs up and continued:
"Xiaojie, although I know in my heart that it is not your opponent, I still hope to be able to fight against you!"
"Xiaojie, do your best! Let me see how much the gap is between us, and let you see your true strength!! β
"Thank you for the affirmation! I will! β
Wen Jie's eyes were full of soft light, and he decided that there was another person in this world who understood him.
With Coach Dean's whistle, the PK duel between the two officially began!
"Wow! Wenjie started with the ball so fast! β
"Cut! Seeing that you are about to cross an obstacle, and you still maintain such a fast speed, you will definitely hit the obstacle, it's just idiot!! β
"That little guy hasn't slowed down yet!! What the hell is he going to do!? β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
No one thought that Wen Jie, who was dribbling at high speed, could still use a Marseille maneuver and pass the first obstacle in an instant!
Keep moving forward with the ball!
The ball is like a spiritual puppy, faithfully following Wenjie's left and right.
Several Marseille slaloms in a row of high-speed dribble breakthroughs made everyone on the side of the field fascinated.
Watching Wenjie's dribbling is like watching Maradona's skillful dribbling and passing, Ronaldo's light pick, Ali Dei's powerful long-range shot, and Beckham's accurate 45-degree long pass, it is a beautiful enjoyment!
When Wenjie dribbled to 50 meters, Klaisson had just advanced to 20 meters!
Gap!
Obvious!
Wen Jie, who did his best, crossed the finish line when Klaisson only reached 50 meters!
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"I lost! Lose convincingly! β
Claisson gasped for breath and was convinced.
"Actually, you're also very strong!"
Wen Jie gave Klaisson a thumbs up.
Klaisson knew that Wen Jie said this from the bottom of his heart!
Klaisson first gave Wenjie a hug, and then the two hugged each other tightly.
In the end, Wenjie defeated his opponent and entered the top 25 of this challenge!
When all 25 of the former players were decided, Coach Dean said:
"In the next draw, due to the number of people, we will put an empty number in the number box, and the person who draws this empty number will automatically advance to the top 13 of this challenge!"
Wow!
Wow!
Wow!
The other young players on the side of the field said enviously:
"I don't know who has such good luck!"
"I don't know who this lucky guy is."
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Cut! It's not me! Chakson sighed.
"Xiaojie, I drew the 10th, tell me, what number did you draw?" Suigetsu asked.
"Sister Shuiyue, there is no number on the top of the draw I draw." Wen Jie touched the back of his head and said stupidly.
"Huh! Let me see. Wow, that's true! Shui Yue gently pinched Xiaojie's face, she was really happy for Xiaojie's signing.
Chaksong actually snatched the number from Wen Jie's hand.
"Damn! Is there a mistake? Why does this Chinese kid have such good luck again and again! β
Chaxon's lungs are about to be blown up!
"Hey! Chakson, you are so barbaric and unqualified! Shui Yue accused.
"That's it! Chakson, do you know why your luck has always been so bad? It's because you've done so many bad things! β
The boss of the Brotherhood League next to him, Sugree, sarcastically.
"You...... You ......"
Chakzon was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
"Ahem, ahem! I announce that since Wenjie drew an empty number, he was the first to enter the top 13 of this challenge! The PK duel of the others will be played in 10 minutes! β
Coach Dean interrupted the crowd and announced in public.
"Grandpa Ou Yu, Brother Qi Yuan, Uncle Peilan, I am one step closer to my dream. Rest assured, I will definitely be in the top 10 of this challenge, and I will definitely get a place to go to a European club for a month of exchange training to continue to improve myself!! β
Wen Jie silently swore in his heart.
