Lu Hai didn't know that in his last life, the most disgusting game played in the '06 World Cup was the quarterfinals between Ukraine and the Swiss. Both teams were waiting for the opponent to attack, played their own counterattack, and survived until 120 minutes or a score of 0:0. In the final penalty shootout, Ukraine's first penalty was Shepchenko, a soft penalty was saved by Zubeble, and then the Swiss did not score a penalty, ensuring that Ukraine entered the last 8.

In the dream simulation match of Lu Hai, the last 10 games with Ukraine, the Chinese team won 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. The losing game was Lu Hai who adjusted the fairness of the referee to the most unfavorable level for the Chinese team before losing by one goal, and Lu Hai was not worried that the Chinese team would not be able to enter the top 8.

Although Lu Hai had seen Shepchenko many times in his dreams, it was the first time he had seen it in reality. This is a perfect striker, and he is also the striker that Lu Hai admires the most, with a height of 183 cm and a weight of 73 kg, he is not particularly strong, and although his speed is not particularly fast, he starts quickly. As an Eastern European player, his basic skills are very solid, every technique is very well combined with the body, the left and right feet are very balanced, the sense of body balance is also very good, the dribbling skills are also very good, he often returns to the midfield to attack with the ball, his stopping is amazing, Lu Hai believes that Shepchenko's stopping skills may be the first in the world, at least one.

There are several levels of the player's stopping, the worst gear, a kick of the ball stops three or five meters, and the ball is lost; The typical representative is the majority of Chinese players, including national team players. In the upper gear, a kick of the ball stopped more than a meter, and sometimes he could control the ball if he worked hard, but the opponent's defense also arrived, and most of the Chinese national team players were in this gear. In the third gear, the ball can stop at his feet, but he still has to adjust it and make the next move, and the opponent's defense has arrived, which is the level of most of the international players under Lu Hai's command now. In the second gear, the ball can stop at your feet and you don't need to adjust, but after the ball is stopped, you have to look up at the form of the field and decide what to do. The best is Shepchenko's, stopping the ball and the next action are coherent, in the eyes of ordinary fans, there is no such step as stopping the ball. In the next two years, Barcelona's Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Messi all had this level of stopping. This kind of stoppage is the most helpless for the defenders. Of course, top-notch ball stops require talent, not just hard work.

Speaking of stopping the ball, this is the most lacking skill of the Chinese team under Lu Hai. Even Zhang Yi, Yang Jie and Lei Heng, who have been led by him for two years, are essentially different from Shepchenko in stopping the ball. The three of them can basically reach the second gear, but the first gear is basically hopeless for Zhang Yi in his life, one reason is that he is too tall and his feet are not flexible enough, he lacks such talent; Another reason is that he was 18 years old when he practiced skills with Lu Hai, and Lu Hai was still very ignorant of what skills were needed on the football field at that time, which finally limited Zhang Yi's space to continue to grow. Lei Heng and Yang Jie still have hope of reaching the first level, but they both need to continue to train with Lu Hai for another two years. Lu Hai is going to ask Lei Heng's father for his opinion after the World Cup, there are already top European teams that have made an offer to Lei Heng, and if he arrives in Europe a year later, he will lose more than 10 million yuan in income, so let Lei Heng discuss this decision with his family. As for Yang Jie, Lu Hai can completely call the shots, after the World Cup, Lu Hai will continue to take Yang Jie by his side for two years, first, continue to hone these technical details, Yang Jie is now trapped in the entanglement of the other party, and there is a factor that his technical details are not perfect enough. Second, we should teach him to look at the game from the coach's point of view, the central defender is a position that can look at the overall situation, and the best central defender should have the role of half a coach in the game.

In addition to Zhang Yi, Lei Heng, and Yang Jie, the best stop among the rest of the international players is Li Jinyu, most of his stops are in the second gear, and occasionally there will be stops that belong to the first gear.

Shepchenko suffered a serious knee injury in '02 and is not in the same physical condition as he used to be, and now he doesn't have the speed he had in his prime, but the technical details like stopping the ball are more sophisticated.

Lu Hai plans to destroy the Ukrainians with an attack, and in the pre-game preparations, Lu Hai gave Zhao Xuri the task of following Shepchenko and Yang Jie to assist, as long as the Ukrainians are not allowed to fight a quick counterattack.

After warming up, when Lu Hai was preparing for the locker room, Shepchenko came over and greeted Lu Hai in broken English. And asked Lu Hai with an expectant face: "Mr. Lu, can you rehabilitate me?" I've seen that the players you're rehabbing have responded very well. Shepchenko has long known about Lu Hai's reputation and has long heard of Dr. Lu's family, but he did not have a channel to contact Lu Hai before the World Cup, and he is still skeptical about Lu Hai's ability. But after the match between the Chinese team and the French team, he saw Zidane on TV begging Lu Hai for a doctor regardless of suspicion, and then found out the previous news, and saw that several superstars who had been treated by Lu Hai had performed well in the World Cup. Shepchenko's heart was moved, and when he was warming up just now, he was absentmindedly thinking about how to talk to Lu Hai.

Lu Hai still has time to do this now, he has decided that after the World Cup, he will rehabilitate Yao Ming and Liu Fei for the last time, and will never take this job again. Both of them hired a Lu doctor at a high price, and coupled with Lu Hai's annual rehabilitation, neither of them has suffered any major injuries until now. Lu Hai simply refused in Russian: "I don't have time." ”

Shepchenko is not giving up, this may be the only chance to recover, he has contacted Galliani before, Galliani said that as long as Lu Hai is willing, Shepchenko can be suspended at any time to follow Lu Hai for rehabilitation, and hopes that Shepchenko can invite back a few Lu doctors, and even invite Lu Hai to visit the Milan laboratory and guide the work of the laboratory researchers.

Shepchenko completely disregarded his face, so he almost knelt down and begged, Lu Hai finally agreed, and just after the World Cup, he asked Shepchenko to rehabilitate with Yao Ming and Liu Fei. Lu Hai decided that this would be the last time he would take over this business.
