Chapter 157: Bet a free kick with Diamanti
After the training on this day, Shi Hao called Diamanti: "Diamonds, wait." "Since Shi Hao said that Chinese fans nicknamed Diamanti "Diamond", the team has called it that.www.biquge.info It's not a nasty nickname, and Diamanti himself happily embraced it.
When the others were gone, Diamanti asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Shi Hao smiled and said, "Come and practice free kicks with me, okay?" ”
He's been practising free-kicks in the system, and his extra work at the club is about speed, strength and fitness, so no one knows he's planning to surprise AC Milan.
Diamanti often practiced for a while, and said with a smile: "Do you want to worship me as a teacher?" ”
"No," Shi Hao grimaced, "I just want you to watch me kick a few times and give some comments." ”
"Yes, Sylvia isn't home anyway." Diamanti is not in a hurry to leave.
Diamanti took Shi Hao to the field where he usually practiced free kicks, and asked the staff to move out the moving planks that used as a human wall.
Shi Hao placed the football on the left side of the penalty area, about 26 or 7 meters from the goal, and Diamanti pushed the moving plank into the right place. "Come on, kick."
The first demonstration in front of outsiders, Shi Hao was a little nervous and kicked the ball to the plank.
Diamanti laughed: "Yes, my dear friend, free kicks are not so easy to practice. Without tens of thousands of practices, it is impossible to play well. ”
Shi Hao ran to pick up the ball and said with a smile: "Then what if there are tens of thousands of exercises?" ”
"10,000 exercises and you're good to go. If you're talented and you've practiced more than 100,000 times, you have a chance to score a direct free-kick in the game. Diamanti said with a smile.
"Let's see how many more times I play."
Shi Hao set the ball, calmed down, stabilized his breathing, and then ran up, his calves swinging rapidly.
With a "swish", the football drew a beautiful arc, crossed the wooden board and began to fall, flying into the corner of the goal.
Diamanti's mouth was wide enough to fit an egg. After being stunned for a few seconds, he smiled: "Luck for newcomers, I also scored such a beautiful goal when I first started practicing free kicks. But that's not enough, you have to find the right way and practice consistently to improve your hit rate. I'll teach you a few tricks......"
Shi Hao smiled and said, "Why don't we make a bet, each person kicks 10 balls and bets 100 euros, okay?" ”
Diamanti asked: "More goals than whom?" ”
Shi Hao smiled: "Of course." ”
Diamanti thought for a moment, "No, we have to make it a little harder." ”
He ran to the staff again, and after a while, the staff drove a small battery car with a frame of soccer balls and four discarded car tires that he usually used to practice free kicks.
Diamanti instructed the staff to hang the tires on the four corners of the goal, and then said with satisfaction: "You have to kick the tires to score a goal." ”
Shi Hao naturally has no problem: "You have the final say." ”
"Let's get started." Diamanti didn't want to bully the kids, but since the kids came up to smoke, he didn't mind teaching them a lesson.
Shi Hao set up the football, took a deep breath, and began to run. But luck stopped him, and the ball bounced off the tires.
Shi Hao was not discouraged: "Come again!" ”
And Diamanti's face was already a little more serious.
In the second goal, Shi Hao scored. The staff member applauded Shi Hao on the side, and said with a smile: "Come on, enter another one!" ”
There was no smile on Diamanti's face anymore. Only one penalty is scored and it can be said to be luck. The 3 balls in a row all went around the human wall well, and the positions of the shots were basically the same, indicating that Shi Hao's free kicks had entered the house and should not be underestimated.
In the third goal, Shi Hao's penalty ball was slightly out of the goal, and Diamanti's face looked a little better.
In the end, after 10 free throws, 3 of Shi Hao's free kicks hit the tires, and 4 hit the side of the tires and bounced out.
Diamanti finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You, when did you hide such a hand, it really scared me." ”
Shi Hao said: "I've been practicing for a long time, but I haven't told you." ”
Diamanti shook his head: "It's not much worse than me." The implication is that it is still a little worse than him.
It was Diamanti's turn to take the spot, and he was used to free-kicks on the right side of the box, so he also pushed the moving plank to the right.
Originally, he was just having a playful mentality, but seeing Shi Hao's performance, he was under a lot of pressure, and he didn't dare to ignore it anymore, so he took the ball seriously. In the end, he hit 5 balls into the tyres and 3 balls on the side of the tyre.
Shi Hao smiled: "It's really better than me, okay, I admit defeat." I'd like to challenge you a few more times, though, okay? ”
Diamanti thought for a moment and smiled and said, "Yes, one hundred euros each time." Hehe, you're going to let me earn some pocket money. ”
Shi Hao shook his head: "I really want to ask you for advice." ”
When Shi Hao set up the football again and was about to make free throws, the staff next to him suddenly asked, "Shi, are your free throws learning from Beckham?" ”
Hearing him say this, Diamanti remembered. Recalling Shi Hao's posture, it is indeed a bit of Beckham's shadow.
In Shi Hao's next free throw, Diamanti observed carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was similar to Beckham's free throw posture, and he was basically sure in his heart.
In this round, Shi Hao scored 4 kicks, 4 more hit the side of the tire, and only 2 balls missed the target.
Diamanti was under more pressure, but under pressure, he played at a high level and scored six.
"Hey, 200 euros!"
Shi Hao smiled and shook his head. He thought his free-kick level was on par with Diamanti, but now it seems that he is still a little behind.
Soon Diamanti couldn't laugh anymore. It seems that Shi Hao is adapting to something, and once he adapts, his progress seems to be rapid.
The next two shot 5 more rounds, of which Diamanti only won 2 times and Shi Hao won 3 times.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Diamanti shouted, "That's all for today, Sylvia is still waiting for me to go back to dinner." ”
Who just said Sylvia wasn't at home? Shi Hao didn't bother with him, and began to clean up with a smile.
Diamanti thanked the staff, put his arm around Shi Hao's shoulders and walked outside the training base, sighing as he walked: "Who would have thought that you would quietly practice free kicks to this point." ”
Shi Hao smiled and asked, "Do you think I'm qualified to take a free kick in the game now?" ”
Diamanti thought for a moment and said, "I'll go talk to the boss and suggest that you take the free kick on the left side in the future." ”
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, remember that you still owe me 100 euros." That being said, Diamanti felt that if he continued to play, he might be the one in debt.
"It's a little mean," Shi Hao said, "if you want to make money, why don't you go to China to play?" ”
"I heard that playing in China can increase my salary several times, and Silvia has also persuaded me," Diamanti touched his chin, "but it's still early, I still want to be selected for the national team." Let's see if I can play in the European Cup this time! In two years, maybe I'll really think about playing in China. By the way, your agent is Chinese? ”
Shi Hao nodded, this is something that everyone on earth knows.
"In a few days, if it's convenient, can you bring your agent to my house for a meal together?"
Shi Hao was a little surprised, but there was no reason to refuse. "Okay, I'll ask her."
Diamanti didn't say anything more, just seemed to be thinking about something. (To be continued.) )
