Chapter 16: Madman

"Heavy! Yu Liang joins Manchester United! ”

"Worth millions, Manchester United intercepts Hu Shenhua!"

"The ambition is higher than the sky, and the national youth will point to the core of Manchester United!"

When the news of Yu Liang's joining Manchester United was reported, it immediately caused an uproar in China.

Football News, Sports Weekly, Southern Metropolis Daily, Chengdu Evening News and even the night sports news of CCTV 5 reported on the incident.

Since finishing third at the World Junior Championships, most of the players in the squad have been on the radar of European clubs. For example, Chen Tao has won the attention of Belgian giants Anderlecht, and Dalian Shide, the club of national youth captain Feng Xiaoting, is opening his mouth to the Bundesliga giants Schalke 04 Lions.

So after the news of Yu Liang's trial of Manchester United, although the fans were excited, they didn't have much expectation.

In recent years, there have been more Chinese players trying out overseas clubs, but how many can really stay?

But only a few days have passed, and the news of the signing has come, can they not be excited?

The excited fans were fascinated by the hope of Chinese football and even the sight of the Chinese twin stars shining at Old Trafford.

Ecstatic fans only need a simple fantasy to satisfy an ethereal ambition in their hearts. But for the players, to fulfill the ethereal ambitions of the fans, they need to sweat more on the training pitch than others.

After signing the contract and being interviewed by the media, Yu Liang went to the locker room, changed his training clothes in the locker room, and went directly to the training ground.

After meeting McClair, McClair directly put a training plan in front of Yu Liang, patted Yu Liang on the shoulder and said, "Start from scratch!" ”

Looking at this training plan that was nearly five centimeters thick, Yu Liang was a little dumbfounded.

"Don't be so surprised, it's not just a training plan, it's a lot of other things, so the training isn't as scary as it seems."

Hearing McClair say this, Yu Liang was much more relieved.

From scratch, he is not afraid, what he was able to hold on to ten years ago, he can do now.

"Understood! So where do we start, sir! ”

The training plan is all in English, but it is all handwritten, although I don't know who wrote it, but it can't live up to the hard work.

"Excellent! Ball sense, as a player you need to develop ball sense. ”

McClair took a few steps back as he spoke, and asked Yu Liang to pass a ball to him.

Yu Liang picked up his toes, only to see McClair's chest lightly cushioned, and the football fell straight down, directly on McClair's instep.

"You can only control football if you are familiar with it!"

Yu Liang stared at McClair thoughtfully, but he thought of the match with Messi at the World Youth Championships.

Messi's sense of the ball is definitely the most terrifying player Yu Liang has seen so far.

"So will I be able to be like Messi one day?"

"Uh...... This is a difficult question to answer! But I think as long as you keep going, you will definitely succeed! No one can stop you from succeeding unless you are yourself. ”

It is undeniable that the talent shown by Messi at the moment is definitely one of the best among his peers.

Frowning and looking at Yu Liang, McClair smiled.

"Going, passing and receiving, is the most basic skill a player needs at his feet, and at the same time the most testing of a player, because it can measure a player's sense of the ball! As a midfielder, you're the link between the front and back of the team, and your responsibility is to deliver shells to your team-mates in front of you, so I don't think you can pass the ball too badly. As for catching the ball, I think through yesterday's training, you understand the importance of that! But what I want to say is that you have a good vision and you have to strengthen your long passing. This will ensure that you can find your teammates accurately. And the ability to play fast, you have to adapt to the fast-paced game, if you can't, you might as well go home and study now, maybe you can get into a good university and get a good job! ”

'So, long passes and passes. Come on! Show me how! ”

After saying that, McClair directly put the training plan aside, and then took the four logo disks and placed a small square in the training ground.

“OK! Pass! ”

Seeing that the swing was almost over, McClair clapped his hands, stood in the square, and motioned for Yu Liang to pass the ball.

With a football under his feet, Yu Liang looked at where McClair was standing, which was about thirty meters away, and the logo disc was square, which looked like it was only about one square meter.

After roughly estimating the distance, Yu Liang pushed the ball forward and adjusted it to make a direct long pass.

With no one interfering, Yu Liang's pass did not land in the square, but in front of the square.

Looking at the rolling ball, Yu Liang shook his head with some dissatisfaction.

“Good!”

What he didn't expect, though, was that McClair gave him a thumbs up.

"Why?"

Yu Liang asked McClair puzzled.

"No why! Isn't that passing of yours pretty? ”

"Uh...... It's okay! ”

Thinking about the pass just now, if only in terms of arc, speed and length, it is indeed a good long pass.

"That's not it!"

McClair shrugged his shoulders.

"But it didn't fall into the square."

Yu Liang looked at McClair with some puzzlement.

"Hehe, I made a square, and I stood in it, and I said I had to go there?"

Yu Liang looked at McClair with some speechlessness, since you don't want me to pass it there, why do you put a square? Isn't this a multi-pronged move? After criticizing it in his heart, Yu Liang looked at McClair, and he was very curious about what kind of explanation McClair would give.

"This is about thirty meters, here is thirty-five meters, here is forty meters, this is forty-five meters......"

McClair didn't explain, though, just kept measuring his steps, from thirty meters to sixty meters, and placed a marker disc on each of his positions.

“OK! Your next task is to pass the ball into that square! From different points! ”

Taking over the football from McClair's feet, Yu Liang came to a distance of 30 meters and adjusted a long pass.

In every position in the back, Yu Liang is the same as in the front, and passes the ball directly after adjustment.

However, the effect of the pass was not very good, seven points, only at 30 meters and 35 meters, fell into the square, after exceeding 35 meters, it was either big or short, and there were even two feet directly off the sideline.

Sticking out his tongue, Yu Liang touched the back of his head and looked at McClair with an embarrassed expression.

"Not bad! Just not good enough for you to be able to do better! Train, kid. You're going to be the best midfielder in the world! ”

McClair didn't criticize Yu Liang, but kept encouraging him there.

"But you have to remember that if you want to be surprised, you have to be fast! Fast ball out and ball speed! This way, your passing will be hidden, and even if the opponent finds out about your intentions, they can't make up for it! So you have to make yourself stronger, you need more strength! ”

Looking at McClair, Yu Liang felt a lot of strength on his shoulders.

"Got it! I won't let you down, sir! ”

Thinking that when he was in the physical examination, he was said to be bean sprouts by a little nurse, Yu Liang felt embarrassed, and it seemed that it was necessary to strengthen his physical fitness.

“OK! There's dietary advice from the team's nutritionist, and I think you should try it! That's the end of today's training! Starting tomorrow you train with the youth team, I will not supervise your training, this training plan is written by me, based on your shortcomings! So you can only take time out of training to strengthen yourself! ”

"Okay, I got it!"

Yu Liang looked at McClair with some gratitude.

However, after taking over the training plan, Yu Liang was a little big-headed.

"Looks like we'll have to find Chris to translate it!"

After looking at Chris, Yu Liang subconsciously touched the position of his pocket, and then sighed, presumably he was going to break the bank again.

Looking at the training ground that was starting to become empty, Yu Liang cleaned up and went directly to the restaurant on the second floor with Chris to continue learning English. Today, King Dong is not with Yu Liang, in the words of King Dong, Chris is a guy who recognizes money but not people.

"Chris, can you translate that?"

As soon as the two-hour study time passed, Yu Liang directly put 28 pounds in front of Chris, along with the training plan!

Chris indifferently put away the £28 and put it in his somewhat worn purse.

"Twenty pounds!"

After flipping through the training plan, Chris directly reported the numbers.

"No problem! Can it be done in one night? ”

Yu Liang directly took out twenty pounds and put it in front of Chris, looking at Chris with some expectation.

"Tomorrow morning for you!"

After taking twenty pounds from Yu Liang's hand, Chris left the dining room with the training plan.

……

Carrington at sunset is very peaceful.

When he walked out of the restaurant, Yu Liang heard the sound of kicking a ball from the training ground.

"Hey, the training is over, and there are still people training."

With curiosity, Yu Liang walked towards the training ground.

Passing through the middle row of training grounds, on the very edge of the training ground, a player is shooting non-stop.

"Hi Rosie!"

When he got closer, Yu Liang realized that it was Rossi from Italy.

"Hi Madman!"

Giuseppe Rossi, who was practicing shooting, didn't expect that there were other people on the training ground at this time, and turned his head to see that it was Yu Liang.

"Why don't you go back?"

Yu Liang, who is very inferior in English, can only use simple words and some body language to express his meaning.

"Soon, I'm still a few dozen shots away!"

After speaking, Rossi ignored Yu Liang and ran directly to the goal to catch the ball.

Seeing this scene, Yu Liang directly put down the backpack in his hand and ran over to pick up the ball for Rossi.

"Thanks, Madman!"

After saying thank you to Yu Liang, Rossi shot directly at the goal.

Dozens of shots were practiced quickly, and by the time Rossi had put all the football into the equipment room and came out of the locker room, it was only a matter of a decade or two.

"What does Madman mean?"

Rossi lives a little farther away than Yu Liang's, but the two live in the same direction, so after leaving the training base, they chose to walk back directly. What's more, at this time, the team's bus has long been back.

Yu Liang didn't understand why Rosie called himself "Madman" every time!

"Haha, what a madman means! That's what we all call you! ”

Rosie glanced at Yu Liang and laughed.

In yesterday's confrontation match, Yu Liang kept running and rushing, and at first they looked stupid and stupid. But after the match, they didn't think so. They thought that Yu Liang's desperate physical strength to fight was a crazy performance, so in the locker room they directly called Yu Liang Madman, at least this is easier to pronounce than Yu Liang who twisted his tongue.

However, looking at Yu Liang's confused expression, Rosie patted his head and found that it was really tiring to communicate with people who didn't understand the language! Thankfully, he grew up in the United States.

"Crazy means that a person is crazy, understand?"

Body language, coupled with constant shouting of madness.

Yu Liang thought that he should understand what Rosie meant.

"That's my nickname?"

Touching the back of his head, Yu Liang felt that this nickname sounded pretty good.
