On January 16th, Bochum had its first race after the winter break.

It's a warm-up game and they will take on Cologne away from home.

Cologne is also a Bundesliga side and currently sit fifth, while Bochum are 14th and are not far from the relegation zone.

The warm-up matches were mainly about recovery and training, so the manager did not ask for a result, and in the end the team lost 0-4 to the Bundesliga powerhouse.

It is worth mentioning that Shen Peng also got ten minutes to play, although his performance is still a little unbearable, but it is already better than the previous trial, at least there are no low-level mistakes, which are the results of these days of training.

In this game, the head coach did not let Shen Peng shoot from a distance, after all, if the opponent had a defense, he would definitely do a targeted defense, and it would not be easy to score, so in this kind of innocuous game, Shen Peng was not allowed to expose his long-range shooting ability.

When he got back to the club, he immediately ran to the pitch and although he had only been on the pitch for 10 minutes, he had learned a lot from those 10 minutes of play.

Combined with the situation of his teammates on the field and his own situation after he came on the field, he finally knew why he had performed so poorly before.

The problem is the rhythm.

In the past, he adapted to the rhythm of the amateur league, and after taking the ball, he would have a long time to adjust and think carefully about his next move; And here, there is no time at all, when his teammates pass the ball, almost when they receive the ball, they have already passed it, because if the ball is late, it will be glued by the opponent, and the ball will either be cut off, or it can only be passed back.

So it seems that his strength is unqualified.

The other thing is that there is a lot of physical confrontation here, which he felt during the previous trials, but it was only after the actual experience of a game that he took it seriously.

If the physical confrontation is weak, it is easy to lose balance in the confrontation, so that the ball that was originally one's own may become the opponent's ball in the blink of an eye after physical contact.

Only when these two points are completely solved can he play normally here.

……

After practicing, he returned to his dormitory and found a man standing in the doorway.

The man was a freckled woman with short flaxen hair, who looked about the same as herself, about seventeen years old, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Shen Peng didn't know this person, and the dormitory here was a single room, so if this woman didn't make a mistake, then she came to him.

"Hello!" Shen Peng said hello.

"Ah, hello!" The woman exclaimed.

"I'm sorry to scare you."

"It's okay, it's okay!"

"You're here, are you...... Looking for me? ”

"Well, my name is Xibeier, your name is Shen Peng, I came to you today to ask for advice on how to play table tennis."

Only then did Shen Peng discover the table tennis racket that Xibeier was holding in his hand, but his table tennis level was only at the time of junior high school students.

When he was in junior high school, there was not enough space for them to play football in physical education class, so most of the students chose basketball and table tennis. The latter balls and rackets are also easy to carry.

So don't let him teach others table tennis, it's a good thing that he doesn't be taught by others, so he said: "But I don't know how to play table tennis." ”

"You won't?" Xibeier looked at Shen Peng as if she had discovered something incredible.

"Isn't that strange?"

"You can't, oh my God!" Hibel covered her mouth.

"Is it so exaggerated...... Shen Peng couldn't help but say in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that he can really understand, as if he would be surprised to hear that a Brazilian can't play football, but Xibeier's emotions may have been a little richer.

As if realizing her gaffe, Xibeier hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you!" ”

"It's fine." Shen Peng said with a smile.

"You really ...... Not at all? Xibeier didn't seem to have given up yet, and looked at Shen Peng hopefully.

"Uh...... It will be a little. Shen Peng recalled his experience when he was in school, and he should only be able to count it a little.

"Can you play a game with me, then?" Shibbel's eyes lit up again.

"Aren't there any other people here, what are you looking for me?"

"Hey, no one else in the club is my opponent, it's too boring to play with them." Hibel complained, and then seemed to remember something, "When the No. 8 in your team first came last time, I thought it was from your country, but when I found him, he said that he was not, and I was happy in vain. ”

"Okay......" Shen Peng finally agreed, and what Xibeier said should be Yusuke Tasaka.

If it was according to Shen Peng's previous character in China, he would not have agreed to this kind of request, but now with the intention of making more friends, he agreed, anyway, he was in the club, and it wouldn't be delayed for long, so he should exercise.

"Speaking of which, if I hadn't watched our club's game today, I wouldn't have known you were here." On the way to the pool table, Shebel was like a chatterbox.

Shen Peng's heart suddenly realized that Xibeier was still a football fan of the club.

"But you're playing really badly, and if it goes on like this, our team may really have to fight for relegation this season." Hibel spoke very directly.

Shen Peng knew the truth she was telling and didn't care, he just smiled, "Today's is just a warm-up game, maybe when the official league starts, the team's performance will be better." ”

"Okay, I'll lend you good words." Hibel said, and the two had already arrived at the billiard room.

Coming to a table, Shen Peng looked at the woman in front of him who was eager to try, and couldn't help but remind: "My level is really average, you'd better not have too much hope." ”

"Hehe, even if your strength is average, after defeating you, I can brag to my companions!" Hibel didn't care.

Shen Peng was speechless, but he still picked up the racket and waited for Xibeier to serve.

The corners of Xibeier's mouth curled, and she threw the ball with her left hand, and when the ball fell, she waved the racket with her right hand, and the walnut-sized ping-ball ball bounced to Shen Peng's side.

Seeing this, Shen Peng's eyes were quick and he didn't hesitate to smash!

After the ball bounced off Xibeier's cheek, she looked at Shen Peng with a surprised face, this is called table tennis is not high?

Shen Peng was also a little surprised, if this ball was in their school, not to say 100%, 80% would be beaten back.

"You...... Do you call this only a little? Hibel couldn't help but ask.

"In our school, I was really at the bottom." Shen Peng said honestly.

Xibeier saw that Shen Peng's expression didn't seem to be lying, and comforted herself in her heart, maybe Shen Peng's goal just now was a coincidence?

"Okay, come again!" She picked up the table tennis ball, came to the table, and said to Shen Peng.
