Chapter 20: Henry's Suggestion

"You've heard of Philip. Is the name Inzaghi (Filippo Inzaghi)? ”

After seeing Qin Shou's eyes flashing with eagerness and urgency, and nodding fiercely, Henry smiled faintly, but instead of immediately throwing out his so-called "rapid progress" method, he still sat on the grass and asked an irrelevant question.

"I know, he is an Italian player, the position seems to be, it is the ......" Qin Shou replied honestly, this player he had indeed heard of, and even saw each other on TV by chance, but he was still a little hesitant, "Before...... Striker? ”

'It's a striker really, he's a very good striker who can score goals. Henry explained, "He's the best player I've ever seen at catching a fighter. In the game, he is like a ghost, and it is easy to overlook his presence. Maybe you don't see him in the camera for the whole game, but when he is in the spotlight, that's often when he scores! ”

"So powerful?"

Qin Shou opened his mouth wide in surprise, if according to Henry, this guy is simply a cold-blooded and ruthless assassin, low-key, calm, hidden in the dark, and when he appears, it is often a one-hit kill.

"But what does it have to do with me?" Qin Shou raised his own questions.

"Strictly speaking, it doesn't matter." When Henry said this, Qin Shou and Juan, who was listening silently on the side, couldn't help but roll their eyes, and after Henry sold it, he continued with a smile, "Actually, what I want to say is that except for the two skills of stopping the ball and shooting, Inzaghi's skills are very average, especially his dribbling, hehe......"

Henry didn't explain it directly, but Qin Shou understood what he meant-that was clearly saying that it was almost as bad as you.

"But despite this, Inzaghi is still the top scorer and the top superstar in world football!" Henry said categorically, and a hint of admiration appeared in his expression.

Qin Shou and Juan glanced at each other, and at the same time faintly seemed to have some understanding, but it was difficult to grasp.

Henry didn't wait for Qin Shou to react, and continued: "Now let's talk about another person. Sean. Wright. ShaunWright-Phillips, have you heard of it? ”

This player Qin Shou really hadn't heard of it, and shook his head decisively.

'He's played for Manchester City and Chelsea as a winger. Juan interjected.

'Yes, he's a winger.' Henry's eyes drifted to the north, as if he was reminiscing, as if he was missing his hometown, "In England, there are many players who play wide positions, and there are many players who are better than him and more versatile, but he can still find a place in a top professional team because of his speed. ”

"Speed?" Qin Shou was a little dazed again.

"Yes, speed. He's got the ball up and down, very fast, one of the fastest players I've ever seen. Henry continued, "Wright isn't top in many ways, but he's very impactful on the wing. Often he uses his speed to get away with his opponent and then crosses ......"

"Wait, what do you mean......" Qin Shou really understood now, but he still confirmed in his mouth, "His dribbling and dribbling are not good?" ”

"Well, it's not good." Henry suddenly smiled, and the narrow expression on his face made Qin Shou a little red-faced, "But it's much better than you, after all, he is a professional player, no matter how bad it is, it won't be any worse." Players like Inzaghi are a special case after all, Qin, you know, not everyone is Inzaghi's. ”

"I see." Qin Shou nodded and asked, "Then you mean that you want me to learn from Inzaghi or this player named Wright, specializing in shooting and sprinting with the ball?" ”

"Pretty much." Henry laughed, "On the football field, there is an old saying, in the words of you Chinese, it is 'one trick, eat all over the sky'." You're very physical, you're fast, and if you start with that, you might be able to make even more progress in a very short period of time. ”

"Makes sense. Good! Qin Shou nodded approvingly, clenched his hands into fists, and said firmly, "From today onwards, I will specialize in shooting and sprinting with the ball!" ”

"Ahem~" Henry waved his hand a little awkwardly and said, "At this stage, it is indeed easier to specialize in one." But you're going to practice passing, not shooting. ”

"Why not a shot? There is a goal award, and my best position is a striker......"

When Qin Shou said with a little dissatisfaction, he was unsuspectingly beaten by Juan next to him and grinned.

"As for you, what you're best at is a striker? I didn't even see that you had a talent for shooting! Besides, the team now has Thierry and Thiem as a golden striker, do you think you can reach their level with a short training session? You haven't woken up yet, have you? ”

Looking at Coach Juan, who was thunderous, Qin Shou touched his head and muttered: "Practice passing, just practice passing, don't you have to do it, can't we talk well?" ”

Seeing that Juan was showing signs of madness again, Qin Shou trotted back to the training ground and began to set up the football, ready to practice passing the ball as Henry said.

"What do you think of him, Mr. Juan?"

Henry's eyes were still looking north, and he didn't look back, but he asked a sudden question coldly.

"It's very energetic and hardworking. It's good to be young. Juan looked at Henry, and then at Qin Shou, who was already busy on the field, and replied, "I like Qin very much, he has a tenacity that is rare for young people nowadays." ”

"yes, he's talented." Henry replied lightly, and did not speak again, falling into silence, or in memory.

After a long time, Juan couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart: "Although your suggestion to Qin has some truth, it is not the right way after all, will this sword go sideways and help it grow?" ”

"Everyone has their own persistence, everyone has their own thoughts. In the process of growing up, a person will experience a lot, successes, failures, laughter, tears...... Many, much more. And the key to determining the ultimate success is not someone else, but himself. Everyone should have their own path to take, and since they have chosen, then they should keep going, regardless of whether there are thorns along the way. ”

"I think you're more of a philosopher than a player." Juan gave Henry a deep look, "Your suggestion reminds me of a player, Makelele, Claude. Claude Makélélé. ”

"It's a lot like that, indeed. Crowder defends very well, and he barely participates in the attack, often handing the ball to his teammates with just one touch. Henry nodded, then shook his head again, as if to himself, and whispered, "But it's not him......"

Juan was surprised and wanted to say something more, but Henry suddenly smiled, dropped a sentence, "Let's go, let's go help Qin train", and then got up and ran to the field.

"Not Claude, not Claude......"

Juan kept repeating in a low voice, but he couldn't figure it out, shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, and also raised his feet and ran into the training ground.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

For the whole day, Qin Shou practiced passing.

In fact, after a few days of individual training, without anyone forcing him, Qin Shou's passing was already in shape. Whenever Coach Juan kicked the football to Qin Shou and then asked Qin Shou to pass the football to the designated position, Qin Shou did it well.

So after training like this for a while, Henry stopped this pointless passing exercise.

"So, I'll play the defensive player, and Mr. Juan will pass the ball to you and run everywhere, in any direction, and then you will pass the ball. Remember, no adjustments, no sticking to the ball, only one touch! ”

Henry made such a suggestion.

And that's exactly what they did.

However, after this change, the difficulty of training has increased a lot, and naturally, Qin Shou's passing has begun to have a very low success rate.

Although Henry is an offensive player, he has never eaten pork or ham, so his defense is not ambiguous at all, as long as the football passes, Henry will immediately grab it, and all kinds of small actions are endless. And Qin Shou, who was tired of it, often just received the ball, and before he could kick it, the ball was destroyed by Henry. Or Henry intercepted directly halfway, Qin Shou had already lost the ball before he even touched the ball.

"Remember, Qin, you can't stand still and wait for the ball to come, you have to run at any time."

"That's not right, Qin. You have to look around you, the opponent's position, the team-mate's position before you receive the ball, so that you can make the most accurate judgment the moment you touch the ball. ”

"Be fast, remember, pass the ball with one kick and don't wait for the ball to stop!"

"Yes, that's it, get the ball where you want it to go!"

Henry's shouts continued to resound on the training ground, stealing again and again, and persecuting again and again, making the beads of sweat on Qin Shou's face more and more, and gradually, Qin Shou also found the trick more and more he kicked and played.

For example, at the moment when Henry grabbed it, Qin Shou would use his body to jam the position, protect the ball, and then grab it in front of it to poke the football out.

However, in this way, Qin Shou's pass success rate is still not high. After all, it is a hasty kick, and it is not easy to pass the ball successfully.

However, with the passage of time, Qin Shou has become more and more proficient and more handy, from ten failed passes at the beginning, to now being able to succeed two or three times out of ten, which is already a huge improvement.

When the sky was getting dark, Henry and Coach Juan stopped Qin Shou.

"Alright, Qin, let's stop here today."

Henry and Juan, the two "sparring partners", are indeed tired today, except for eating at noon and resting for a while, they spend almost the whole day running, which is not a small amount of exercise.

"But I don't think it's enough......" Qin Shou was also a little tired, but he could feel that the advice given by Henry could indeed make him improve rapidly, so he was a little happy. It's like a child who gets a favorite toy, and he has to play thoroughly to stop.

"Come on, you have good physical strength, and you are still alive and well, my old bones can't withstand such a toss, I'm tired." Coach Juan replied angrily, then picked up the drink on the ground, and poured it into his neck.

"Nothing can be done overnight, let's continue practicing tomorrow." Henry smiled, twisted open a bottle of drink, and poured it back into his mouth.

"Yes. All right. Qin Shou could only nod in agreement.

After cleaning up, the three left the training ground and parted at the gate to say goodbye.

Qin Shou waved his hand to Henry, and was about to say goodbye and go home. Henry grabbed him and put the football he had been holding at Qin Shou's feet.

"Qin, take the ball home. Remember, don't let the ball go 20 centimeters out of your body. ”

"Oh."

Qin Shou nodded, understood Henry's intentions, waved his hand, moved his feet, the football left his body, and Qin Shou also ran out.
