Chapter 24: Training session to conquer teammates

The training arrangements for the first team are not much different from those for the youth team, which ensures that the young players can adapt quickly after being promoted to the first team. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ€‚ info

In order to fully train and ensure that the players will not be injured during training, the warm-up before training is a cumbersome and ceremonial process.

At first, I naturally jog for 10 minutes to make my body sweat a little and adapt to the rhythm of the exercise, and after running, I jumped on the spot and moved my leg joints. This is followed by a variety of stretching movements that work on the muscles and joints. For example, the common high leg lift like a lateral extension can make the thigh joint move and improve the flexibility of the body. Also stand with your legs bent in front of you, your back leg straight, and your center of gravity as low as possible to improve the flexibility of your knee and ankle joints.

Zhang Shu is already very familiar with this set of movements, and when he was in the youth team, he did the warm-up movements every day, and after more than two months, Zhang Shu could do it with his eyes closed.

When the players' muscles, joints and ligaments are fully stretched, they will do some switchback running and sprint running exercises, as well as some change of direction running exercises, so that the players' cardiopulmonary system can get used to the next large amount of exercise.

When that's all done, the players can train with the ball.

---------------------------------------------

After entering the training session with the ball, Zhang Shu wanted his teammates to see how good he was.

He remembered what he had said to Tony.

But he didn't have any chance to surprise his teammates in the first short pass, and the two people passed the ball to each other about 10 meters apart from each other, which is too simple for professional players.

In football, passing and receiving the ball is the most basic and most frequently used technical action, and it is also the most intuitive embodiment of the player's technical level. In the high-level professional leagues, we often see those superstars skillfully stopping the football from their teammates in high-intensity confrontations. Whether it's a passing or a shot on goal, a good stoppage can be the perfect connection.

On the other hand, in domestic games, it is not uncommon to stop the ball 5 meters away.

---------------------------------------------

The short pass is followed by the long pass.

It's not a special long pass exercise, it's just a way to familiarize the players with the ball, so both strikers and goalkeepers should participate.

Originally, the players' favorite partner was Baggio, who was known for his technical excellence at a young age. As he grew older, compared to the rapid decline in physical fitness, Baggio's skills gradually improved, his long balls can always find the habitual feet of his teammates, the flying football does not have strange spins, and the distance is just right, just need to lift the foot slightly, the football can stop safely at the feet. And even if the ball he passed was a little more difficult, Baggio was able to lift the ball and stop it steadily.

Training with a player like Baggio is naturally easy and the players are certainly willing to work with him.

----------------------------------------------

"Next is the long pass, and I call the names in groups of two." Igor, who was in charge of grouping the players, flipped through the folders in his hand.

"Tony, Baggio."

"Del Nero, Tรกr."

"Finipini, Bacchini."

"Schop, Mattuzalen."

ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚

"Zhang, your partner is Appia." Soon, Igor pronounced Zhang Shu's name.

As soon as his words fell, there was a commotion in the ranks.

The team's midfielder, Appia, as a defensive midfielder, has excellent physical fitness, great coverage, and a fierce style of play, which is an iron gate in the backline. But passing the ball is not his forte, and his teammates are always miserable in training.

From time to time, I have to run to pick up the ball, not to mention, the rhythm of training is always interrupted, and I have to be reprimanded and punished by the coach. Such reprimands and punishments can be group-based.

Zhang Shu, who participated in the first team training on the first day, partnered with Appia, is this really okay?

---------------------------------

"Zhang, get ready to catch the ball." Appia shouted as he stood 30 meters away from Zhang Shu. He is self-aware of his long passing, and he is good at defending and destroying him, but it is not within his ability to let him point where to pass.

So he had to say hello to Zhang Shu first.

Zhang Shu raised his right hand to signal that he was ready.

Appiah took a step forward and hit the bottom of the ball with the instep of his foot.

The football whistled in the direction of Zhang Shu. The first ball was well prepared, and it seemed that the pass was good, and the approximate landing point was about one meter next to Zhang Shu.

In this kind of non-confrontational passing and receiving training, players are only allowed to touch the ball with two feet, stop the ball with one foot, and pass the ball out with the next kick, without making too many adjustments.

But Zhang Shu didn't use the second chance to touch the ball at all, facing the flying football, Zhang Shu took a step, did not stop the ball, and directly kicked the middle and lower part of the football. The ball made contact with the surface of the foot, made a dull "thud" sound, and instantly flew back in the opposite direction.

Appiah had just kicked the ball out when he saw the ball fly back again, and he quickly made a move to catch the ball.

The ball passed back by Zhang Shu landed very well, Appia didn't need to move his position at all, he slightly raised his right foot to the height of half a ball, the ball just landed on the inside of his arch, and then he relaxed his ankle to remove the momentum of the football, and stopped the ball firmly in front of him half a meter.

Then he stepped out with his left foot as a support, and his right foot kicked the ball towards Zhang Shu again.

It's a great way to catch the ball!

----------------------------------

The other players didn't notice today's performance in the long ball training today, and their attention was focused on their partner.

But after a long time, there will always be people who glance to the side.

And then they can't take their eyes off it anymore.

Gradually, everyone's attention was focused on Appia and Zhang Shu.

Appia thought it was so cool to train today. He's never been so fluid with his team-mates in long ball training as he is today.

Zhang Shu's pass always reaches a little to his right, and he only needs to turn his body halfway to stop the ball with the inside of the arch of his right foot. The passing football with a slight downward spin, after falling on the foot and the friction of the foot surface offset half of the momentum of the football, as long as you are not stiff ankle, the football will not pop far away, obediently stop half a meter in front of you, not rolling.

The ball stopped, and then his pass was much easier, even if one or two feet occasionally deviated from the target, as long as the football touched the foot of Zhang Shu on the opposite side, it fell obediently on the lawn like a bear child who had been smoked by his parents.

It's like an NBA player breaking into a middle school basketball game. His teammates don't need to think about the accuracy of their shots, they can just forget the basketball and throw it to the basket, as long as the direction is not too outrageous, they can watch the NBA player directly slam the dunk in the air and help his teammates brush up an assist statistic.

---------------------------------

Toney and Baggio have stopped their training, this is just an ordinary warm-up to maintain the sense of the ball, for players with good skills, it is good to pass casually for a while, and the only ones who will always enjoy this are Appia, who rarely found the feeling of long passing, and Zhang Shu, who was too excited on the first day of training.

The others also stood together and looked at Zhang Shu and Appia, who seemed to be playing table tennis next to them. We're all professionals and know the technical content of such a seemingly simple long pass.

"Zhang is very powerful."

"If you weren't good, you wouldn't have been transferred to the first team at the age of 16."

"Appia is kicking today."

"Ouch, this ball is wrong."

In front of the crowd, Appiah finally missed a ball. In fact, before others noticed them, Appia also kicked the ball wide, but as long as it was within the range of catching up, Zhang Shu could always control the ball with various difficult movements.

The long ball was a little far away and powerful, and the fast-flying ball turned in an arc in the air.

Zhang Shu struggled to run towards the landing point of the football, and finally approached the flight path of the football before the ball flew off the field

But Appiah's pass was too high, and the ball flew off Zhang's head to the sidelines.

Zhang Shu did not give up, with the help of the momentum of running, he jumped up, buried his body in mid-air, and raised his right foot high behind him.

The ball, which had already flown behind him, was blocked by his right heel and bounced in front of him.

Zhang Shu, who landed on one leg, bent his left knee with his left foot, supported the ground with both hands, and removed the huge impact of his weight on the knee and ankle joints, and then stood up with his right leg on the ground, took a step to catch up with the football in front of him and kicked it back.

-----------------------------------

"This is... What do I see? โ€

The players and coaches watching from the sidelines were stunned by Zhang Shu's action.

"Is that okay? Robbie, can you do this move? Tony was stunned and looked at Zhang Shu not far away.

Baggio thought for a moment and shook his head, "I would have said that if I were ten years younger... But I don't think I was able to do it even ten years ago. My knee couldn't handle the impact of that movement when it landed. โ€

The other players were silent when they heard Baggio's words. Baggio has enough technique and ball sense, but not strong enough knees. And although they are physically strong, they don't have that kind of technology.

"It seems that we can't let Appia and Zhang team up in the future." Igor and Mazzoni were joking. "With Zhang, Appia would never have realized how bad his long pass was."

"Oh, hehehe." The white-haired Mazzoni let out a Santa Claus laugh.
