"A question popped into my mind...... "Alley Russell was standing on the lawn of the community park, picking up the soccer ball under his feet and bouncing it back and forth between his left and right feet." Why did I promise to teach you? You're going to try to attack, isn't that a clear steal for my position? ”

In front of him, stood Chu Zhongtian, who was dressed in short clothes. He was still wearing a red jersey of the Chinese national team that he borrowed from Yang Yang, and he pedaled the pair of Nike shoes that Emily bought with him.

"Anyway, you promised, don't go back." The person who said this was not Chu Zhongtian, but Emily who was standing next to him.

'I just want to contribute to the team's attack, I'm not interested in your position. And ......," Chu Zhongtian replied. "Even if I don't rob, you won't be able to play the main force in three games a week."

What Chu Zhongtian said was the truth, but to Russell's ears, it felt like a ridicule for his physical strength......

With Emily by his side, he didn't want to deal with Chu Zhongtian, that would be too ungentlemanly. He just shrugged his shoulders, put his foot hard, lifted the ball high, and then used his forehead to stop the falling football on his head, and he shook his upper body to stabilize the not-so-honest football.

He used this method to show his superiority over Chu Zhongtian - his ability to control the ball.

"What technology do you want to learn? One person dribbled the ball past eleven people, even the goalkeeper, and then shot the ball into the empty goal? Russell, with his eyes on the football, asked.

"I'm not interested in Maradona." Chu Zhongtian shook his head, "Anyway, it's the offensive technique." Possession, passing, shooting...... This kind of thing. ”

Russell didn't answer Chu Zhongtian's words immediately, but concentrated on dealing with the football on his forehead, trying to maintain his balance and not let the football roll down. He held on for about half a minute before he shrunk his neck and let the ball roll down his face, landing right on the top of his raised foot, and came to a steady stop. Then he stepped on the football under his feet again, and then said to Chu Zhongtian: "I thought about it just now, first of all, you have to ensure that you won't be easily broken after you get the ball." You're just a purely defensive midfielder now, stealing the ball from the opponent and handing it to your team-mates right away. But modern football is not so simple, the midfielders need to carry the ball frequently, and sometimes even have to control the ball in very difficult situations, so once the ball is tackled at your feet, the problem can be troublesome......"

Chu Zhongtian nodded, agreeing with Russell's statement. In fact, he mainly agrees with the last sentence - if he is in the back and midfield when he is in possession of the ball, facing two or more opposing players to scramble and lose the ball, then the opponent can directly attack, and at that time his team's back line will not even have the opportunity to prepare, can only rush to the battle, and the probability of being penetrated by the opponent is very high.

Who says the midfielders don't need to keep the ball? Although Makelele grabbed a lot in Real Madrid and was the most important defensive barrier in front of Real Madrid's backline, his salary just couldn't go up, why? Isn't it because his foot skills are not as flashy as those frontcourt stars? Even if he only has one-third of Zidane's technical level, his weekly salary will not be at this level.

Keane is also a midfielder, but is his technique poor? It's not bad at all. He was able to keep the ball in front of a crowd of opponents, and he was often able to score for his team himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the heart of United's midfield.

The most famous technical midfielder is Argentina's Redondo, and just look at the scene where he bumped the ball with his heel past Manchester United defender Borg and then set up Raul to open the scoring.

It's no longer the kind of midfielder who can run rampant in football as long as he can go crazy. Even blue-collar workers have to be gilded so that their position in the team is more secure.

Seeing that Chu Zhongtian nodded in agreement with his opinion, Russell was very proud, and he continued to play football at his feet: "So I think you don't have to think about shooting first, let's try to improve your ball control skills first......"

"Hey, Alai. You won't be worried that Chu Zhongtian will steal the limelight by inserting a shot, right? Emily abruptly interrupted Russell.

Russell's face flushed when he said this, he really had that idea, but his reason was also very reasonable: "What's the use of rushing up and shooting before you learn how to control the ball?" Let's get the ball under control first, and then let's talk about the shots. When was Rome built one day? ”

Chu Zhongtian also sided with Russell this time, and he nodded: "He's right, Emily." I also think I should try to improve my ball control at my feet. ”

Since both the teacher and the apprentice are on the same page, what else does Emily have to say? She stepped aside to watch Russell teach Chu Zhongtian to practice.

※※※

"I don't ask you to practice like this, just use it to warm up. This thing is a city that kicks football. Russell quickly entered the role, or he had been looking forward to using the identity of the "coach" as a cover for a long time in order to call Chu Zhongtian around.

Chu Zhongtian didn't have any objection to Russell's words, anyway, in terms of technology, he didn't have much right to speak, everything was arranged by Russell. He didn't worry about Russell's self-treatment, and after spending some time with Russell, he found that this person had nothing else wrong except that he was sometimes mean-mouthed, and he was not the kind of person with evil intentions.

Russell pulled the football to his feet, and then said to Chu Zhongtian: "Look at it, I'll demonstrate first." ”

He held the ball forward with the inside of his foot, took two steps, and flicked it twice. Then he flicked the ball forward with the outside of his foot, also twice, and took two steps with the ball. Although the inside of the foot and the outside of the foot are in the opposite direction, the route he takes with the ball is a straight line.

After making these four plucks, Russell turned around and said to Chu Zhongtian, "See?" You do it like this, twice on the inside of the foot, twice on the outside of the foot. Then turn around...... Turn around with the outside of your foot. He demonstrated it once, and then brought it to Chu Zhongtian, "Turn around again and turn it sideways with the inside of your foot." Just practice it over and over again. Make sure that you end up walking in a straight line with the ball, and don't go too far. He pointed to the makeshift markers on the ground made out of clothes and school bags.

He kicked the football to Chu Zhongtian and motioned for him to come.

Chu Zhongtian didn't do it right away, he was a little puzzled: "It's that simple?" ”

Russell reacted, and it turned out that the Chinese kid was suspicious of his training content. "Simple? You're right, Chinese boy. The basis of all techniques is very simple, it is just the control of the ball. But if you don't practice and don't master the simple basics, then no matter how simple it is, you won't be able to master it, and you won't be able to use it in the competition. With Emily by her side, Russell couldn't explode into foul language, so she could only be patient and explain to Chu Zhongtian in a soft tone as much as possible.

Football is not enough, you have to demonstrate it yourself. Russell hooked the football from Chu Zhongtian's feet, then pointed at him and said, "You come to defend me." ”

After Chu Zhongtian put on a defensive posture, Russell took a few steps back and opened up enough space, this is the scene in the simulated game, if he let Chu Zhongtian stick in front of him, then there is no need to demonstrate, it is much more difficult to pass in a static state than in sports.

Russell started to dribble the ball, and when he was close enough to Chu Zhongtian, he used his right foot to dunk the ball to the left, but then he moved the ball back to the right, this time with the outside of his right foot.

Chu Zhongtian didn't move during the whole process, and then Russell hit him headfirst and lost the ball.

Emily, who was looking forward to the duel between Russell and Chu Zhongtian, was stunned next to her, and she hadn't figured out what was going on yet.

Chu Zhongtian looked at Russell, who was holding his injured knee with some confusion. "What's going on?"

"Hell......" Russell scolded as he rubbed his knees, "Can't you cooperate with me, boy?" ”

"How to cooperate?"

"Look at me smashing the ball to the left, you will take the initiative to be deceived by me! I was going to fool you and turn the ball back to the right and then go straight through it, but you ......didn't react at all."

"Hahahaha!" Emily's crisp laughter rang out from the side, and she crouched down with her stomach clutched.

Seeing her smile so happily, Russell looked embarrassed. It is clear that he was ridiculed by the woman.

"Oh." Chu Zhongtian responded, "Then you come again, I will cooperate with you this time." ”

Emily was just about to stand up, when she heard Chu Zhongtian's words, she laughed down again.

was ridiculed twice by Emily, Russell was not in the mood to do this demonstration, he just said to Chu Zhongtian: "You saw just now, if you encounter an ordinary defender, a smash and a pluck are enough to dodge the empty space." This is the use of the simplest techniques in the game, and there are more complex ones that are just a combination of simple movements. ”

Although Russell's demonstration failed, his words were very good, Emily stopped laughing, and Chu Zhongtian nodded seriously.

Now that you understand this truth, let's start practicing. Chu Zhongtian practiced meticulously on the lawn. Take two steps with the inside of the foot, two steps with the outside of the foot, then turn around with the outside of the foot, continue to take two steps with the inside of the foot, take two steps with the outside of the foot, and turn around with the inside of the foot...... And so on and so forth.

Russell stood outside with her hands folded and watched with Emily.

Emily watched for five minutes, and before Russell could shout to stop, she couldn't help but ask, "How long will he be like this?" ”

"Look at my mood......" Russell yawned.

"You ......," Emily finally knew how Russell was going to get through the training. Can't you put it down? ”

"It has nothing to do with that." Russell knew what Emily was referring to. "It's not the kind of training that the team does step by step, three minutes and two minutes off. We don't have such extravagant conditions. ”

Russell pointed around, the grass was full of people, playing football, camping, and a lot of children running around and weaving through the crowd.

"Rest for a few minutes, and the place is occupied. And ......" He looked at Chu Zhongtian, who was immersed in practice. "If Chu wants to improve his skills, he will have to put in several times more effort than usual. Doing a lot of repetitions in a short period of time and getting your body to remember those sensations is what makes it possible for him to improve his technique. That's what I thought. ”

"But aren't you afraid that Chu's body can't accept it?" Emily was still frowning, she admitted that there was some truth to Russell's statement, but it was theoretical, and there were many difficulties in practical application, such as human physical fitness......

As soon as he talked about Chu Zhongtian's body, Russell remembered the secret of Chu Zhongtian that he and Borger had seen with their own eyes that day, and he laughed.

After asking the question, instead of getting an answer, Russell was seen smiling. Emily pouted, "Is that funny?" ”

Hearing the meaning of anger in Emily's tone, Russell did not deny it, but nodded and admitted: "Put it on Chu, this question is indeed funny." Then, without waiting for Emily to continue asking, he asked rhetorically. Did you know that our training place is not at Wimbledon, but at King's Ranch in Kingston? ”

Emily nodded, of course she knew that. But what does this have to do with Chu's physical fitness?

"Do you know how far it is from our school?"

"About ......," Emily thought to herself, then said with some hesitation, "four miles?" ”

Russell snapped his fingers, "Correct." Then he said, "I don't know where Chu lives, but the way he came to the school is obviously not on the west side of the school, but on the southeast side." ”

Emily nodded, she didn't know where Chu Zhongtian lived, but it should be near the Dons Bar, and the Dons Bar was southeast of Wimbledon Art School. The Dons Bar, on the other hand, is a mile away from the school.

Russell pointed to Chu Zhongtian, who was still practicing hard and did not complain at all, and said, "Every time he goes to the King's Ranch for training, he runs from here. ”

Emily was taken aback, she thought her ears had misheard, "What did you say?" ”

"I mean, Chu ran at least four miles before each training, and then ran four thousand meters at the King's Ranch to warm up, and then he started training. Do you know what that means, Emily? ”

"Are you kidding, Russell?" Emily still couldn't believe it. Because she knew that if Chu Zhongtian really ran over, then he didn't run four miles, but five miles. Because he worked at the Dons Bar throughout the summer, he also went directly to the King's Ranch from the bar when he trained. What is the concept of five miles? Converted into kilometers, one mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers, which is 1,600 meters, and five miles is 8 kilometers, 8 kilometers. I ran 8 kilometers, and then ran 4 kilometers to warm up before the training started, 12 kilometers, 12,000 kilometers. If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that I would have been tired and lying down a long time ago, let alone training or something......

"I'm not kidding, Emily. Borger saw it with his own eyes, and after he told me, I didn't believe it either. But then he and I saw Chu Zhongtian running from the other side of the road at the entrance of Jack Goodchild Alley, appearing in our field of vision, drenched in sweat all over his body......" Russell said as his eyes blurred, and he thought about the scene of that day again. Until now, Chu Zhongtian's sweat glistening in the sun still stayed in his mind, causing him a great shock.

"Whether it's training or playing, that's how he came to King's Ranch. But I never saw him exhausted, and cramps and prostration never happened to him. For me, he's really a monster...... "Russell's fitness is his biggest problem, he didn't play in that Wimbledon professional team, what "because of his love for Wimbledon football, disdain to be with the team that betrayed all Wimbledon" is just a high-sounding excuse, his physical failure is the main reason why he was eliminated by Wimbledon Football Club. A player who can barely survive even 90 minutes in the amateur league, no matter how good his skills are, no professional team is willing to ask for it. Do you only play 45 minutes per game? It's better to only give half of the weekly salary, Russell will probably not agree, so the club will not do it.

After spending his teenage and youth years at Wimbledon, Russell was finally laid off by the club because of his failing fitness, and his original plan was to graduate from college, then go out and find a job, join a pub team, and play a Sunday league game every Sunday afternoon.

Unexpectedly, the news of Wimbledon's move has given birth to a new team that belongs entirely to fans, and this team is not strict on the physical requirements of players, and he can finally find a chance to play in this team again.

Russell cherishes the opportunity to continue playing, so Coach Eames's move can be regarded as the right place to use him, and not letting him participate in the game is simply killing him.

Russell said that, and he was distracted. Emily was also shocked by the "truth" she had just heard, and looked at Chu Zhongtian blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Although both of them looked at Chu Zhongtian, their minds were not on him.

So under the gaze of the two of them, Chu Zhongtian kept doing exercises like "smashing the ball twice with the inside of the foot, plucking the ball twice with the outside of the foot, turning around on the outside of the foot, smashing the ball twice with the inside of the foot, plucking the ball twice with the outside of the foot, and turning around with the inside of the foot", without stopping once, nor looking up to ask his temporary teacher Russell how long he was going to practice.

It's not that he doesn't know how to be tired, or because he doesn't know how boring he is.

On the contrary, he suddenly experienced an indescribable sense of pleasure from this repeated practice. Watching the football under his feet become more and more obedient, and the strength of the plucking and smashing is becoming more and more accurate, he feels a sense of accomplishment.

He was completely immersed in it, as if the whole world was only a small area of two steps, two steps, and then a turn.

Smash, smash, pluck, pluck, turn!

Smash, smash, pluck, pluck, turn!
