Chapter 4 Goals

"Peng, Peng, Peng" The sound of leather hitting each other sounded in the garden, old Edward sat in the garden on an English Chipbingdale chair and kindly watched little Andy practice shooting, only to see that a regular football goal was installed on the original wide garden lawn, and 16 truck tires were fixed in front of the goal, and the 16 truck tires with 4 rows were fixed in front of the goal, and the large and small forbidden areas were drawn with white environmental protection paint on the ground, and 3 circles were drawn with white lime in the direction and middle of the 2 corners of the large and small penalty areas. And our little Andy shoots on these 6 points, there is a basket on the side of each point, which is loaded with more than 20 footballs, only to see that 70% of his shots in the small penalty area can penetrate the center of the circle in the middle of the tire to shoot into the goal, and in the big penalty area of the 3 points because of the lack of strength and the success rate is less than 50%, often hit the ball into the tire and roll down the grass, since the age of 7 into the 8-11 youth team training, he asked his family to help him get this set of equipment, at first his parents were strongly opposed, I thought that training at school would be fine, and it would be time to rest well when I got home, but with the support of my grandfather, it was successfully built. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Shoot! The ball is in! It was Andy, and he scored again! Every time he scored a goal, he would cheer himself on like a star on TV, and his grandfather would applaud, and every time he came home from school, he would practice at home until his parents told him to eat with his grandfather.

Usually after the end of the school's cultural class, the team will have 1 and a half hours of training time, in the first 1 hour of the training session is to carry out basic training, dribbling, shooting, passing three training subjects, and the second half hour is divided into 2 teams to play to cultivate these children's interest and sense of competition, Coach Niven's only requirement is: you don't play as a striker to run as a defender, other free play, he will not ask you to be a midfielder or a defender must stand in which position, must pass to whom, not to whom, Instead, let these 10-year-olds judge for themselves on the court, how to pass, how to shoot, how to defend is the most threatening, in the middle of the game he never speaks but fully let the child use his imagination to play, when he sees a beautiful offensive or defensive he will applaud, and after the game he will point out to the children the mistakes made in the game.

When Andy first entered the senior age team, the original physical advantage was gone, and as soon as he got the ball, he was bored and didn't like to pass, he was often put to the ground by the opposing defenders, delaying his own offense, and after the coach pointed out his shortcomings after each time and watched a few games with his teammates on the bench, he got rid of the habit of dribbling with his head down and didn't like to pass, despite this, he still didn't play in the game with other schools in 1 year, and he and the coach made several requests for this, And the coach always refuses to give him too young, after he was promoted to the 4th grade this year, he was excited for a long time, because the 11-year-old 2 forwards in the team are in middle school, and the elementary school league is about to start, and this year you can always play an official game...

At the age of 8 years and 5 months, he has stabilized the position of the main striker in the team, constantly scoring goals in training matches again and again, using his performance to squeeze 2 10-year-old children to the bench, only 11-year-old to partner him in the front, and at the same time his long-awaited British primary school league "Prince Cup" has also slowly kicked off.

"Andy, Oy, you two wait to play forwards," as Coach Niven opened the roster before the start of the game, Andy still jumped excitedly when he heard his name, and he was so happy that the first official game would be fine.

Half an hour before the start of the game, the school's football field was already full of the families of the players on both sides, because it was also against the Lorde team, another primary school in the Fulham area, and the people on the sidelines basically knew each other, and they were all pointing to the young players on the field to introduce each other that it was my son, that was the son of so-and-so, Andy's parents and grandfather looked at him as he stepped into the grass with smiles on their faces. …,

"Andy, catch the ball" With less than 5 minutes into the game, Andy heard his teammates chanting his name during a midfield pass, and after the first few possessions of the ball, he had already wasted 2 chances due to a bit of nervousness in his first competitive game.

"Don't miss it," Andy shouted in his heart as he rushed towards the ball like a leopard, and a defender taller than Andy on the opposing team followed suit.

I saw Andy quickly receive the ball at a speed faster than the opponent's defender, and his small body controlled the football without stopping and rushed towards the opponent's penalty area.

"No matter, fight" Andy, who took the ball, looked at the opponent's defender who was not much stronger than his own body, and rushed over without melancholy in the high-speed dribble, "bang" The two bodies collided together in an instant, only feeling a little pain in the chest and arms Andy knocked down the opponent's defender, and directly entered the small penalty area, looking at the goalkeeper's panicked face, the instep of the inner foot kicked towards the ball with all his strength, a perfect arc, the ball crossed the goalkeeper's hands and entered the net.

gooooal!!!! Andy saw the ball and shouted happily while hugging the friends who rushed over, and when he saw that the family on the sidelines were also cheering for him, he rushed to the sidelines and threw himself into his mother's arms, kissing his mother while saying in her ear "I scored, Mom!" ”

The referee on the field smiled and came over to remind him that the game was going to start again, listening to the good-natured laughter around him, our little Andy returned to the field with a red face, "MD, it's a shame," the 8-year-old child with a 20-year-old soul thought silently in his heart, but it was so cool.

A goal allowed Andy to leave his nerves behind and truly fit into the game.

As the game continued, Andy could be seen everywhere from the midfield to the penalty area, passing people again and again, passing, being robbed of the ball and quickly rebounding, even after being shoveled, he was the first to get up and put into the fight, and the adults on the sidelines also applauded his wonderful performance from time to time.

When the game was over, Andy, who was playing a competitive game for the first time, was embraced by the whole team, and he scored five goals and three assists by himself, and conquered his teammates and the crowd on the sidelines with his perfect performance.

"Coach, can I take this football and jersey home?" Andy made a request when his family thanked the coach.

"Okay, little Andy, this is your first game, and you deserve it for such a good performance" Coach Niven rubbed Andy's black hair and agreed.

"Oh so much, I'll take good care of him," Andy excitedly took off his jersey and asked the coach and his teammates to sign autographs, and his childish behavior caused everyone to laugh.

That night at Andy's house, old Edward ignored the advice of his daughter and son-in-law, and praised little Andy while drinking half a bottle of red wine at the dinner table.

Seeing the old man and Andy happily eating dinner, George Chen and Alina glanced at each other helplessly, originally thought that Andy was just an ordinary hobby, but looking at the current situation, this kid really only has football in his heart, and he didn't go to other aristocratic activities such as golf and polo, so it seemed that he was going to have a good talk with him.

At this time, Andy, who was smiling happily, didn't know that his parents were ready to talk to him about future planning, and it seemed that there was a market for the parent education model of the Celestial Empire.
