The noon sun was like a ball of fire, and the roasters were about to shrink on the top of their heads.

The sun is scorching.

Wen Jie is still practicing alone.

At noon, he didn't go back, he ate the rice balls made by his grandfather, and remembered his grandfather's busy figure in the kitchen with his back bent, and tears couldn't help but flow.

In order not to let others see it, he buried his head silently and chewed one bite at a time, which was very fragrant!

In order to be able to make a splash in the "Personal Ball Skills PK Challenge", Wen Jie put himself into training after eating.

"Wait for the ball to fall low, then start juggling the ball, and when the ball is still high, don't touch the ball!"

"Be careful not to hook the top of your foot too much and keep your foot flat!"

"Use the force below the knee to swing your calves, don't lift your thighs!"

"Touch the ball with the laces on your sneakers, not too far back and not on your toes!"

Wen Jie carefully recalled these key movements that Coach Dean taught him to juggle the ball, and switched his left and right feet on the training ground over and over again!

"Xiaojie, when you are proficient in juggling the ball with your left and right feet, you have to try to juggle the ball against the wall to improve your juggling skills!"

Half an hour later, Wen Jie was confident that if others didn't stop, he would be able to bounce the ball with his left and right feet all the time, so he decided to start practicing juggling the ball against the wall.

"Practice kicking the ball at the wall first, then catch it with your hands!"

"Tie the laces with your shoes to touch the ball, and when you touch the ball, try to keep the surface of your foot parallel to the ground, so that the ball will bounce on a flat surface and not fly around! As you get used to it, increase the number of kicks between each catch! ”

"Be sure to kick the ball to shoulder height, if you kick it too low, it will bounce too fast and you risk losing your rhythm!"

"Be sure to keep your toes on your toes at all times, it will make it easier for you to change the direction of the ball!"

"When you feel proficient, try to lower the height of the ball to increase the difficulty!"

Wen Jie practiced juggling the ball over and over again against the training wall, Bangkok belongs to the hot and humid climate, and the non-stop practice made Wen Jie's back shirt soaked with sweat!

When Wenjie kicked the ball to a height of only 10 centimeters from the ground, he stopped practicing.

After briefly replenishing the water, Wen Jie immediately plunged into the next training event - dribbling!

First, the ball is dribbled with the instep of the foot.

"When dribbling, you generally use the area on the outside of the instep or the front foot to touch the ball, because this area has a large contact area and it is easier to control the ball!"

"When dribbling, step forward with your supporting foot slightly forward, stand slightly to the outside, and center of gravity forward!"

"At the same time, the thighs of the touch leg must be slightly raised forward, so as to drive the straight instep to touch the ball!"

During the morning training, Wen Jie also had to watch the football step by step, and the frequency of touching the ball was very low, and the action of touching the ball was also very light!

However, after a few minutes of adaptation, Wen Jie was able to dribble without bowing his head, and the frequency of touching the ball was significantly accelerated, and the pace was much bigger than before!

If you look at the training ground from a distance, you will notice that when he touches the ball with the inside of his foot or with the outside of his foot, he has his shoulders sinking and his body tilting slightly.

Then there's the outside instep dribble.

"Dribble with the outside instep, the part that touches the ball should be the underside of the outside instep, and slightly rotate the foot that touches the ball when dribbling, so that the touch part touches the ball as much as possible!"

"Xiaojie, dribble with the outside instep, you must learn to use it to dribble short, and when dribbling, you must control the ball only 1 to 2 steps away from yourself, so that you can not lose the ball in a small space when the opposing defender approaches you!"

"When using it for medium-distance dribbling, each touch of the ball takes the ball just 3 to 5 steps away from you, which is perfect for accelerating dribbling breakthroughs or wide dribbles when attacking!"

"You can also use it for long-distance dribbling, and if a defender is accelerating towards you and trying to cut off your football, when he gets close to the moment before you, quickly poke the ball 10 steps away from you with his toes, and then accelerate to run and chase the ball!"

Before he started practicing dribbling with the outside instep, Wenjie thought back to what Coach Dean told him to dribble!

"I'm going to get more and more proficient! Come on, Wenjie, you are the best! ”

At this time, Wen Jie had already practiced for 1 hour, he was very tired, but he still encouraged himself to insist on practicing!

"Huh! How can anyone still practice during the lunch break!? ”

Dean came out of Truson's office, and after lunch, he realized that he had left the key to his room in the office.

When he turned back to the office from the door of the room, he found that there was a thin figure practicing on the training ground!

Dean walked into the training ground, only to find that it was Wenjie who was practicing.

He wanted to go up and instruct Wen Jie, but when he watched Wen Jie's training for a while, he gave up the idea.

"Genius! A true genius! I've never seen a young player so quickly juggle, stop, dribble, shoot, and dribble! He doesn't look like a young student who has only officially come into contact with football training for half a day! ”

The thought of having the opportunity to personally mentor this little genius made Dean unable to suppress his excitement!

"Those 'little monsters' in the Clairefontaine training camp, their progress is not as good as Xiaojie!"

The reason why Dean said this is not that the talent of those "little monsters" in the Clairefontaine academy is not as talented as Wenjie, on the contrary, in the 3 years that Dean was there, he has seen young players who are more talented than Wenjie!

He said that Wen Jie's level of effort was incomparable to those "little monsters"!

During the normal training in the afternoon, Dean did not reduce the amount of Wenjie because he practiced at noon, on the contrary, he taught Wenjie a lot of basic exercises!

With other junior players out there, Dean couldn't have spent all of his time coaching Wenjie alone.

This gave Chakson time to take revenge on Wen Jie!

While everyone was training together, Chaksson knew that Coach Dean was not far away, and there was no way he could punch or kick Wenjie.

"Hey! Brothers, while training, give the new little guy a few 'black feet' to taste! Hee-hee! Chakson smirked sinisterly.

"Boss, we know what you mean!"

Sure enough, once Dean took his sights off Wenjie, several young players would black-kick Wenjie.

Although Wen Jie relied on his good ball skills to dodge a few times, but there were many opponents, Wen Jie still suffered several black feet!

Wen Jie wanted to scream out in pain several times, but he held back!!

At the end of the day's training, Wen Jie dragged his bruised feet and walked slowly towards his home.

When he was about to turn into an alley, he didn't expect a group of children to rush out of the alley and directly surround him!

Wen Jie recognized it, they were all from Chaksong!

The kids didn't say anything, they went up and pushed Wen Jie down, followed by a flurry of punches and kicks.

"Stop !!"

A man with a foreign accent yelled in a hoarse voice.

The handful of children who were beating Wen Jie heard a man's angry scolding, and they were immediately frightened, like birds and beasts, and scattered in a hurry!

"They're really ruthless!"

Fortunately, Wen Jie protected his vital parts, but the burning pain from all over his body made his expression extremely painful!

When he got up from the ground again, he saw a curly-haired, dark-skinned, stocky foreigner walking towards him with a soccer ball on his back.

Wen Jie felt that his figure was a little blessed!

The curly-haired uncle squatted down and kept saying something to Wen Jie, but Xiao Jie didn't understand it, and he was at a loss!

Wen Jie spread his little hands, indicating that he didn't understand.

Uncle Curly's eyes were full of pity, and he seemed to see the embarrassment between the two - unable to communicate in words!

Taking the football off his back, Uncle Curly stood up and performed freestyle football in front of Wen Jie.

This style of kicking seems to be different from what I see on TV, although it looks concise, but it is full of imagination.

Wen Jie suddenly came to his senses, "This curly-haired uncle must be a football master, maybe he is still a professional player!" ”

Wen Jie was taken aback by this idea!

After only watching Uncle Curly's freestyle football for a while, Wen Jie knew that this uncle must be a football master who is good at sitting and upper!

Uncle Curly Fur suddenly stopped, kicked the football to Wen Jie, and pointed to the football, which seemed to say, "I'll see if you kick a few!" ”

Wen Jie unloaded the soccer ball that was kicking towards him, and tried the action of Uncle Curly just now, but he only held on for a short time before failing.

Looking at the serious appearance of the child in front of him, Uncle Curly smiled.

But when he saw Wen Jie try again and again after failing again and again, his mind went back to his childhood, and he saw his own shadow in this child!

It's just a split second decision, he wants to help this child, he wants to teach this child all the tricks of playing football without reservation, he must help this child improve his skills!

The two could not speak to each other, and Uncle Curly took out a piece of paper from his backpack and drew on it a piece of sand, an adult, and a child, the adult was juggling the ball on the beach, and the child was watching intently.

Finally, Uncle Curly wrote the words "20:00" in Arabic numerals on the paper.

He handed the piece of drawing paper to Wen Jie, didn't say anything, packed his backpack, and left in style!

Wen Jie looked at the back of the curly-haired uncle leaving, listened to the hearty laughter, stepped on the football under his feet, and was stunned!

"This curly-haired uncle is just gone!?"

Xiaojie is a smart child, when he came home, after greeting the old man Ou Yu and Brother Qi Yuan, he returned to his room alone.

"Didn't this curly-haired uncle ask me to go to the beach at 8 o'clock in the evening to find him, and he wanted to teach me how to play!?"

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Jie became more and more convinced that this is what Uncle Curly Hair meant.

It's still half an hour before 8 p.m., and there's only one beach nearby called Ava.

"Grandpa, Brother Qi Yuan, there's something going on, I need to go out for a while."

Wen Jie grabbed the football, ran out like the wind, and ran to Ava Beach!

"Huh! Why is there no one? ”

Xiaojie looked around, "It should be almost 8 o'clock!" Could it be that I misunderstood!? ”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wen Jie suddenly heard the sound of playing football, and he turned to see that it was the curly-haired uncle juggling the ball!!

Xiaojie crossed the football and ran towards the curly-haired uncle.

"Football has no borders! Looks like this little guy understands my drawing! ”

Uncle Curly looked at Wen Jie who appeared in front of him happily, and he seemed to be able to hear the little boy's slight panting.

Uncle Curly pointed to the football under his feet, and then pointed to Wen Jie, signaling Xiaojie to follow him!

I saw that after the curly-haired uncle touched the ball on the left and right casters, one foot circled the ball, repeating this action constantly.

Wen Jie painted a scoop with a gourd, it was difficult to keep up with the rhythm of Uncle Curly at first, but genius is genius, and after a short period of adaptation, Xiao Jie was already able to keep up with the frequency of Uncle Curly!

Next, Uncle Curly started the next demonstration.

He dragged the ball behind the ball with the forefoot of one foot and pulled the ball from side to side on his toes.

Wen Jie is still training with Uncle Curly Hair in the same skills.

As long as Uncle Curly feels that Wen Jie has mastered it, he will immediately move on to the next teaching.

I saw the uncle touch the ball with his left foot, then smash the ball to the right foot on the inside of the foot, and then kick back after receiving the ball with the right foot, and after receiving the ball with the left foot, he pulled the ball back with the ball of the forefoot and the ball of the front foot to dunk the ball from the back of the right foot.

This action is a little complicated, and Uncle Curly is very slow to decompose it!

Uncle Curly's training is actually cultivating Xiaojie's ball ability and ball control ability!

Uncle Curly left Wen Jie to practice on the beach alone, while he sat on the beach not far away and watched.

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, although some people call me the king of the ball, but compared with Pele, I am still a lot worse! After more than 20 years of playing, God has loved me enough. Seeing such a little guy who insists on playing football, I seem to have an epiphany. Perhaps the most precious memory is the farewell, I scored a lot of beautiful goals, but I think the fans remember me for my curtain call. It's time to wrap up my career. ”

Uncle Curly looked at the sky, and then at Wen Jie.

After a while, Uncle Curly exclaimed:

"I didn't expect this little guy to learn 'croquettes' by himself! Talented! In the future, he may surpass me! ”

"Croquette" is a football passing technique, this technical action is called "La Croqueta" in Spanish, which translates to "croquette" in Chinese.

It's essentially a very simple and practical bipedal pass, where the left and right feet play each other together, using speed and slits to get past opponents.

In this movement, the two legs are equivalent to chopsticks, and the so-called "balls" refer to footballs, just like two chopsticks turning the balls back and forth.

Under the bright moonlight, Uncle Curly taught Xiaojie all the tricks of juggling the ball, stopping the ball, long passes, short passes, shooting, dribbling, endurance training, speed training, and strength training for many years.

Fortunately, it is a talented player like Xiaojie, who has been replaced by other young players, and he will definitely be unbearable to receive so much guidance in a short period of time, and maybe his emotions will collapse!

At the end of the training, Uncle Curly handed Wen Jie another piece of drawing paper, on which he drew 7 moons, and gestured again.

Xiaojie immediately understood that Uncle Curly could only guide and train himself for 7 nights.

In 7 days, the uncle will be leaving Thailand!

For the next 7 days, Wenjie trained at Alpha Football School during the day and at 8 p.m. at Ava Beach with Uncle Curly.

Although he would still be "harassed" by Chaxon on the training ground during the day, Wen Jie could obviously feel that as his ball skills improved, it became easier and easier for him to evade Chaxon's little tricks!

On the last night when Uncle Curly Hair instructed Xiaojie, he actually performed the "flower arrangement" skill on the beach!

After the performance, he left like a gust of wind again.

There is no time to say goodbye to Wenjie!

Wen Jie didn't chase after him, he looked at the back of the curly-haired uncle and secretly swore:

"Uncle, I come here every night to practice!!"

During this time, Coach Dean was very happy because he could see Wenjie improve every day compared to the previous day!!

Just as he usually finished training, just as Wen Jiejia was about to go home after practice, he heard a familiar shout again.

"Humph! Little one, tomorrow is the annual 'Individual Skills PK Challenge', you just wait to be humiliated! Hahaha! ”
