Chapter 8: Amazing Play (I)
"Give your child, it's your glove. It seems that you have a pair www.biquge.info of hands that are beyond the average person, which is a very good talent for a goalkeeper. Jimmy looked at Li Lei's hands and said.
If it weren't for the fact that Li Lei told him to change a pair of gloves just now, if he had just given it too little, he wouldn't have realized it at all, this is a very important talent for the goalkeeper.
Li Lei's hands are about 2 centimeters longer than the average person of his same height, which can already be regarded as a talent and is very amazing.
Don't underestimate this little 2 centimeters, for the goalkeeper, this may be whether he can save a must-score and save the life and death distance of a team. In addition, it plays a very important role in technical actions such as picking up the ball in the air and holding the ball.
With such a pair of big hands, coupled with Li Lei's burly and tall figure and excellent explosive agility, Jimmy was suddenly full of interest in Li Lei's performance in the second half of the trial match.
No matter what else, just for this body, Li Lei has a strong potential and quality that surpasses the vast majority of other goalkeepers. And more importantly, the goalkeeper is a generally older, long-lived position. Jimmy thinks that it will take him 7 or 8 years to slowly polish and carve Li Lei from the basics.
At that time, in terms of Li Lei's age, he was only 26 or 7 years old. For a goalkeeper, this is even a very young age.
Of course, this is just Jimmy's own plan. If Li Lei knew that Jimmy planned to spend such a long time cultivating himself, he would definitely turn around and leave. If nothing else, just one question, what about his sister Li Xin'er's tuition.
Long before coming here, Li Lei had already inquired. Even the best youth contract simply can't support Li Xin'er's spending in college. It took 7 or 8 years to train, and he really thought he was a football boy with some football dreams.
"Smack."
After putting on the gloves, Li Lei couldn't help but applaud vigorously, listening to the crisp sound of the leather, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction. Because, he usually likes to fight boxing to exercise his body, as soon as he wears these gloves on his hands, he really feels familiar, although the types of gloves are fundamentally different.
"Hey, boys, the second half is going to start right away, get me up right now. Don't think I don't know, you didn't even sweat in the first half....." Seeing that there was no problem on Li Lei's side, Jimmy nodded, turned around and shouted at the reserve players who were still resting in place.
No matter how unbearable Li Lei's previous performance was, as long as he saw the careless and indifferent attitude of these young players, Jimmy, as the director of youth training, was not very comfortable in his heart. What's more, he didn't think the second half would be as calm as the first half.
In his opinion, no matter what else, just by Li Lei's body standing in front of the door, the attacking side will not be pleased. If it is an experienced first-team professional player, they may be able to make Li Lei, a rookie goalkeeper with excellent physical fitness, disgraced, and these reserve team players who are still extremely young and immature in his opinion will not be good.
Thinking of Li Lei's grinding fists and can't wait, Jimmy felt that if these reserve team members were so relaxed, he was afraid that he would suffer a big loss. Therefore, in order not to let these reserve team members not lose face in front of Li Lei, he reminded him indirectly, openly and secretly.
It's a pity that the young and vigorous Manchester United reserve team players can't understand Jimmy's hard work at all, and he even thinks that Jimmy is covering for himself and saving the face of the youth director who personally brought Li Lei.
Well, they thought it was a relaxed look that they didn't care about at all, which stimulated Jimmy's self-esteem as an academy director. So much so that for this reason, they also plan to continue to hit Li Lei in the second half mercilessly, and humiliate the "own people" of the youth training director.
Young people are always very jealous, especially when they are treated better when they are obviously worse than them. Among them, Baker, who has been unoptimistic and questioned by Jimmy in the past, is even full of ambition to break the door of Li Lei's handle in the second half to show his "genius qualifications".
Judging from the situation in the first half, all the players who played opposite Li Lei, under the backdrop of Li Lei, a football rookie, showed the demeanor of superstars one by one, allowing them young players to shine in the limelight.
Now, since Li Lei is going to play the position of goalkeeper, isn't it the position of the striker that he is directly opposed. Therefore, if you want to say that among the reserve team players, the happiest person after seeing Li Lei wear the goalkeeper's gloves, it must be Baker, the main center of the reserve team.
You must know that under Jimmy's "suppression", he is getting older and older, and he is about to stay in Carrington's training. Under such circumstances, he felt that he had to leave. Before leaving, I also took the opportunity of Li Lei to humiliate and stimulate Jimmy, so that I could let out the evil breath in his chest.
Thinking about Li Lei's performance in the first half of the game, and his disagreement, just imagining the divine demeanor he was going to show in the second half, Baker felt that he was going to be high.
So much so that until he came to the court and was ready to kick off, he was still smiling silly. Even when Jimmy blew the whistle, he didn't react at once, and almost let the striker on Li Lei's side steal the football.
"Shit, Beck, attention! Focus! ........Seeing this, Jimmy's loudspeaker shouted again throughout the court.
Although he had been dissatisfied with Jimmy for a long time, Baker did not dare to resist him in person, so he could only settle the account in his heart on Li Lei, who was standing in front of the door.
"Yellow-skinned monkey, see how I teach you!" Glancing at Li Lei viciously, Baker whispered angrily as he ran forward.
Li Lei didn't know what Baker was doing, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care at all. At this time, Baker, whose attention was no longer at all, was completely attracted by the beautiful scenery of his new position.
It's so open, it's like seeing the whole world at once, and it's completely different from other locations. Looking at the unobstructed view of the court in front of him, this unique perspective like an outsider made Li Lei couldn't help but be fascinated all of a sudden, and the previous feeling of confusion like a headless fly disappeared all of a sudden.
For Li Lei, who is a football rookie and wants to find a shortcut to succeed all at once, the goalkeeper may be the position chosen by God for him. He doesn't have to worry about any organization, and he doesn't have to care about the depth or horizontal position awareness, all he has to do is block the black and white ball and protect the door behind him.
It's simple, it's clear, and for Li Lei, it's just the best.
Perhaps, what Li Lei thinks is still too narrow for the definition of a goalkeeper, a top goalkeeper needs to have more roles and skills, but who can deny what he thinks - guarding the door is the real and eternal first priority of a goalkeeper.
Just when Li Lei was still feeling new about the new position of goalkeeper, the second half of this trial match was still going on in an orderly manner.
I don't know if Li Lei, the real protagonist, went to the most inconspicuous position on the field of the goalkeeper, so I don't have to worry about my limelight being occupied by an outsider, and the substitute players in the reserve team on Li Lei's side also came to life all of a sudden.
After all, it's a rare opportunity to perform directly in front of Jimmy, the academy director, and the reserve team substitutes don't want to give up so easily. Whether he wants to be the main force of the reserve team in the future or be promoted to the first team, Jimmy's opinion is indispensable.
For a while, these excited reserve team players caught the main team off guard with their physical strength and galloped all over the field, not only did not rain like in the first half, but also occupied a little advantage.
Li Lei, who was the protagonist of this trial match, suddenly became invisible, standing alone in the goalkeeper position, not knowing what to do at all.
In this regard, the most anxious is not Li Lei himself, but Baker. "Damn, are these subs crazy?! It's just a trial match! My hat-trick, my great show! Seeing this situation, Baker was so anxious that he scolded in his heart.
However, the main team is the main team in the end, although it was uncomfortable by the substitute side's physical kick, but they quickly seized the opportunity of the opponent's big pressure, through a series of transmissions in the midfield, passed a very threatening through ball, directly behind the substitute defense.
The opportunity Baker had been hoping for came so suddenly, apart from a substitute centre-back who still hadn't given up, and there was a large open field in front of him, which was almost a perfect opportunity for a half-solo goal.
Although the substitute centre-back never gave up and was trying his best to chase back, Baker still took advantage of his running position to start first and receive the ball first on the edge of the penalty area.
Seeing this, Jimmy, who had been watching the development of the situation on the sidelines, was waiting for such a scene to appear, regardless of the surprise of his physical colleagues, and suddenly stood up straight excitedly and stared closely at any of Li Lei's movements.
He knows very well that every move Li Lei will make next will directly determine whether there will be a miracle in this trial match, or whether it is really just a meaningless formality.
At this time, it stands to reason that Li Lei, the goalkeeper, should rush to the penalty area with all his strength to clear the siege, which is the most correct way for a goalkeeper to deal with it.
I'm afraid that any other goalkeeper coach will directly give Li Lei a big difference in his heart when he sees this, but Jimmy doesn't care. These things can be cultivated through training, and what he cares about is the next development, which is the embodiment of talent that no training can do.
At any time, the direct dialogue between the goalkeeper and the striker is the most romantic duel on the pitch, the most desperate moment. It's like a death match between two swordsmen, either life or death, and there is no other possibility.
At this time, whether Baker is still the main center of the reserve team who is about to leave Carrington, or whether Li Lei is the mess of football rookies, the two of them are the only focus on the field at the moment, the only one!
At such a desperate moment, Baker is still the main center forward of Manchester United's reserve team.
Facing Li Lei, who had learned well according to the appearance of the other goalkeepers in the video he watched before, he was tense, maintaining a half-squatting position, engrossed, and staring at him coldly, he maintained the calmness that a striker should have, and chose the most correct and most suitable way to deal with himself.
Considering that there was a central defender in hot pursuit behind him, he did not choose the irrational way of forcing Li Lei. He remembers very well his speed and the level of his feet, which is far from the level of performing to break through the goalkeeper and score the goal.
Seeing that Li Lei continued to pace forward with small steps, spreading his long arms and trying to block his shooting angle as much as possible, Baker simply chose the gate directly.
I have to say that as the main center forward of Manchester United's reserve team, Baker's shooting skills are still very standard. In the process of marching, his calves swayed slightly, trying to be fast, and he wanted to catch Li Lei off guard.
In the face of Li Lei, a rookie goalkeeper with outstanding physical fitness, this is the best choice Baker can choose, and this is indeed the case.
Baker opted for a volley from the far corner.
With a thud, the ball flew like a cannonball like a cannonball into the far corner as soon as it left the arch of his foot.
This ball is here! As soon as the football left his feet, the comfortable feeling of his feet immediately made Baker's heart feel at ease. There was no malfunction, and as he watched the ball fly towards the far corner, he didn't feel anything to stop him from scoring.
Is it just that football rookie?! How is that possible, huh! Baker thought triumphantly.
It's not that he's arrogant, it's just that the level of his shooting is too high. Not to mention Li Lei, even if you change any top goalkeeper in world football, in such a situation, you may not be able to pounce.
Unless it is, a miracle happens......
But, just as Baker was thinking, a miracle happened!
His eyes widened, his mouth wide open, and his expression glazed over, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.
I saw that Li Lei's tall figure was like Spider-Man at this time, completely stretched out in the air. At his feet, there were turf and grass clippings that he had brought up because of his super explosive power and flew in the air.
At this time, Li Lei's inhuman long arm became the spear of the god of death in Baker's stunned eyes. Football, which was originally out of reach in Baker's opinion, is being approached by Li Lei's fingertips little by little, little by little, and little by little....
For a moment, all of this seemed to Baker's eyes to be put in slow motion under the microscope. Somehow, a sense of uneasiness was growing stronger in his heart, and the shadow of despair was slowly covering his heart.
What a difficult moment! Baker felt like he was being cut his throat bit by bit. He could feel the splash of blood, his body getting colder and colder, and his whole body was weak, but he just couldn't help it.
This damn feeling of powerlessness makes him desperate! Overwhelming despair!!
Finally, under his gaze, Li Lei's fingertips finally touched the football slightly, making a slight change in the direction of the football's flight.
But on the football field, sometimes a small change can be the difference between heaven and earth.
"Bang!"
With a crisp crash, Baker's shot eventually hit the outside of the far post and flew off the baseline.
Seeing this, Baker suddenly felt that his feet were weak, and with a bang, he knelt on the soft grass of the shallots.
Almost the next moment, he heard Li Lei's voice in his ears, the sound of Li Lei roaring madly.
"That's it! I said it a long time ago!! ”
"White Rabbit !!"
"I'm fucking going to kill you!!!"
Baker looked up weakly, and he saw Li Lei standing in front of him, he had no idea how the other party could get up and rush in front of him so quickly. He has no way to think about it now, because he is completely stupid.
He saw the swelling green tendons on Li Lei's neck, the long arms that danced up and down like a madman, the big mouth that roared wildly, and the colorful head that looked down on him.
It's like a mad lion king who has gone crazy!
He was frightened.
In a trance, he suddenly felt that he was really like a little white rabbit, kneeling in front of the crazy lion king, powerless to resist, and could only tremble.
Looking at the lion king's crazy, cold, and fierce cold eyes, he seemed to have smelled the strong smell of blood from the big mouth of the blood basin that was opening wide.
Bloody!
Killing Machine!!
