Chapter 18: Hard Training (Part II)

"Good, training is over. It's lunch time www.biquge.info let's clean up and go to lunch. ”

Seeing that it was time for lunch, Richard finally stopped his morning training. After a morning of continuous training, he and Li Lei were already sweating and panting.

Among them, Li Lei even after Richard stopped training, and the strength that had been tense up and down his whole body was loosened, just like noodles, and he suddenly softened on the court.

The dazzling sun in the sky made him close his eyes. It has to be said that this training method is too draining on the eyes. Now Li Lei feels as if his eyes have not slept for several days and nights. I can't wait to fall asleep like this now, and I don't want to open my eyes again.

At the same time, lying on the ground, he didn't say anything, only his chest was violently agitating like the sealed box that had been struck with iron before. At this moment, he really felt that he had no strength in his body. This feeling of powerlessness was something he had never experienced before, who had always been strong.

For a moment, even the sweat that was still dripping down his cheeks in disobedience, he didn't have the strength to raise his hand to wipe it.

It wasn't until a few moments later that he recovered from the feeling. By the time he opened his eyes and sat up, Richard had already come to his side, looked at him with concern, and asked, "How about the kid, can you still hold on to this difficulty?" If that doesn't work, we can reduce the amount a little bit and increase it later. ”

"No, that's pretty good." Li Lei wiped the sweat on his face fiercely, and said with a firm and stubborn face. Although this kind of pain is not enduring, it is far from the extent that it makes him back down.

"Okay. Then get up now, take a shower, and get ready to eat. After 1 p.m., start training again. Looking at Li Lei, whose face was tired but still firm as a rock, Richard said with a look of amazement and admiration.

As one of the main architects of this training, Richard could not have been more aware of the rigors and difficulties of this training. To be honest, no matter how well Li Lei performed in training this morning, he could just grit his teeth and persevere, and Richard was already surprised without shouting to stop.

This is a real man. Although Li Lei's face was still a little green and his wife, Richard couldn't help but comment so in his heart. He felt that in addition to his appearance, Li Lei's mental state and sense of responsibility were enough to afford the title of man.

After patting Li Lei on the shoulder encouragingly, he stood up and discussed with Jimmy and the others on the side, leaving Li Lei alone for a while.

"Shhh

After the fatigue subsided slightly, the sudden pain in his limbs made Li Lei, who was caught off guard, unconsciously gasp. Because he was so focused and excited in training, he didn't feel anything before. After relaxing for a moment, the small circular bruises on the limbs, whether deep or shallow, finally showed their presence.

Until Li Lei stood up, he was still grinning. This feeling that as long as he moves his body casually, it hurts, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

This feeling was not relieved much after Li Lei came to the cafeteria to eat after taking a shower, and Li Lei did not eat very happily.

That's not what he cares about the most, though. After a few bites of food, he couldn't help but look up at Jimmy and ask, "Jimmy, how did I do in the morning?" ”

Throughout the morning, he did 15 sets of training, which means that he saved a total of 750 tennis balls. Even though he knew that his performance would not be very good for the first time, he was eager to know what his results were, and wanted to have a bottom in his heart and know what level he really was.

His question made Jimmy, who was talking to other coaches discussing something, suddenly embarrassed and showed a hesitant look.

As soon as he saw him like this, Li Lei knew what he was thinking, it was nothing more than too bad, and he was afraid that speaking out would stimulate and hit him. But he didn't care about these at all, looked at Jimmy, who was hesitant, and said in a firm tone: "I know the grades won't be good, but I need to know what the hell is going on, so please tell me." ”

Seeing Li Lei's expression, Jimmy also knew that this question could not be avoided. After giving Richard a few glances and getting a nodding affirmative answer, he opened his mouth to Li Lei and said vaguely, "Okay." There were 15 training groups in total, and none of the training groups did not have negative scores. ”

This means that the training results of each group are negative. And, looking at Jimmy's deliberately vague appearance, this negative score is not small. It's just that it wasn't to dampen Li Lei's confidence, so he didn't say it in detail.

However, Li Lei seemed very calm, and just said lightly: "I know." Other than that, there was no special reaction.

Of course, this is only on the surface. Like Li Lei, a person whose competitive heart is almost paranoid, how can he be unwilling to do so.

If someone looked closely, they could find that his right hand holding the spoon suddenly had some obvious mana, and he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

To be honest, Li Lei may not have counted this very bad result in his heart. What he wants may be someone to say it to his face. Because for him, it's a huge stimulus that he has to work harder, work harder, and perform better in the next training session.

Just when Li Lei was obviously abnormally burying his head in the mouthful of a tasteless nutritious meal, the atmosphere in the cafeteria was a little silent for a while. Seeing this, Richard, who was beside Li Lei, couldn't help coughing a few times, attracting Li Lei's attention, and after making him raise his head, he said, "Okay, don't think about the morning training." Hurry up and finish your breakfast and let your therapist give you a full body massage before taking a good rest. Your afternoon training wasn't easy. ”

Listening to what Richard meant, it seems that the content of the afternoon training is not tennis. Li Lei had originally made up his mind to successfully save more tennis balls in the afternoon, but he couldn't help asking: "We won't practice saving tennis in the afternoon?" ”

Seeing that his words successfully diverted Li Lei's attention, Richard couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, and kept asking: "Hey, kid, do you think that the goalkeeper only needs to guard the door is enough?!" In addition to savings, the goalkeeper also directs the defense, cooperates and instructs the defenders to defend. Occasionally, he will mainly attack, and if necessary, even participate in the attack, taking on the task of scoring goals. Is your knowledge of goalkeepers still too shallow? Did you know that some goalkeepers are even more accomplished in free-kicks than attacking players? ”

I have to say that Richard's words suddenly aroused Li Lei's interest. Before that, he had always thought that the goalkeeper was just a character who stayed in the backfield, could only save and defend, and was not at all inconspicuous. Just listening to Richard's words, Li Lei can even make up how eye-catching these goalkeepers in Richard's mouth are on the field.

Originally, apart from money, Li Lei had no interest in the "dull" and "boring" position of goalkeeper at all. For him, who dropped out of school early and wandered the streets, it was really difficult to have any interest in a profession that could only stay in a sleepy position and do a fixed job.

But now, Richard's words have completely changed that. It was at this moment that Li Lei, who came to play football as a goalkeeper for his livelihood, really had a trace of interest in the position he would struggle for in the future - the goalkeeper for the first time.

Perhaps, Richard didn't know at this moment that it was precisely because of his words that Li Lei opened a new door to the goalkeeper position, planted a seed in his heart, a seed that allowed Li Lei to perfectly integrate his strong personality into his unique goalkeeper style of play, and a seed that began to sprout in the future world-famous madman in world football.

At this time, if Ferguson, who was far away abroad with Manchester United to play warm-up games, knew that Li Lei's style of play and performance that repeatedly tested his heart in the future actually started with Richard's words, he might have considered flying back to Manchester and then killing Richard, the culprit.

But that's how wonderful things are in the world. The growth of a generation of madmen began with Richard's casual words to divert Li Lei's attention, which no one could have predicted in advance.

However, this is also a later story, so I will not mention it for the time being.

On the one hand, after getting a good rest and treatment in the physiotherapy room, Li Lei regained his energy and devoted himself to the training arranged for him by Richard and others in the afternoon.

After all, he is a young man, he has always been strong, healthy and his young body is very resilient. The spirit and enthusiasm he stood up in the afternoon training made Richard and other middle-aged men only marvel at him and be jealous, and their minds kept recalling their respective youths.

Li Lei's training in the afternoon is no longer a specific training, but the same training subject as the average goalkeeper. Defending corners, selecting positions, throwing the ball with his hands or attacking with his big feet, all of these subjects are all experienced in an afternoon.

Then, it's about how much he can learn from the repetitive training in the future, and how much he can play on the field in the future.

If the morning is mainly to train his hard ability and technical actions to save, then the main purpose of the afternoon training is to exercise Li Lei's football IQ, experience and thinking ability on the field.

Of course, in such training, how much Li Lei, a rookie, will make, and how idiotic and layman's mistakes he makes can be imagined.

"Judgment! Judgment!! Damn, how many times do you want me to remind you, watch the ball and watch the rest of the box as well. Do you have to expect that when you are on the pitch, the opponent will not have a number of people in the box when attacking from corners?!! ”

During a corner kick defense drill, Li Lei blindly attacked, and because he only cared about the air football, he was blocked by several staff members who played the offensive player, which caused the door behind him to be easily breached with a header, Richard's horn-like angry rebuke simply shook the sky over the entire Carrington training base.

And this was just one of his countless amateur mistakes. During the afternoon training, it was not Li Lei himself who was most tired, but Richard's voice, which was greatly tested and was in danger of striking at any moment.

"Shout out to your teammates! In defense, be sure to shout out to your teammates. Why would you rather knock him to the ground than tell him that this football is going to be out and in control, why?! Why?! You stupid ass!! ”

"Command! The teammates you want to command!! As the only player who can see all the attackers when your teammates can't see the attackers behind you, you must be careful to command your teammates at all times. Keep that in mind! Brat! ”

"Shit! It's shit!! Who do you think you are, Zidane?! You stupid rookie! Who told you to dribble the ball outside the big penalty area, open big feet, open big feet, won't you open big feet?! Do you want to give your opponent a chance to score for nothing?! Do you take their money?!! ”

...........

In this way, under the direct rays of the hot sun and Richard's merciless rebuke, Li Lei, who was still a rookie, continued to sweat with all his strength in the Carrington training base and did his best to grow.

"Come again!"

After making the mistake of attacking too blindly in a corner kick defense, in the angry rebuke of Richard again, Li Lei wiped a handful of Manchester United's sweat, and after remembering his mistake in his heart, he immediately shouted and returned to training.

And just like that, the fiery, hard training continued......
