Chapter 73, post-festival practice

Christmas is a very solemn and profound event for Spaniards.

Most Spaniards decorate their homes to celebrate Jesus' birthday in this way. The streets and alleys are decorated with colorful neon lights and beautiful Christmas trees, making every city look full of joy and joy.

During the Christmas season, there are many traditional and modern celebrations in Spain: the "Big Fat Lottery" day on December 22, the family dinner on Christmas Eve, the madman's day on December 28, the cross-regional annual meeting on December 31, and the Three Saints Day on January 8......

Qu Jing didn't have a special feeling about this, he didn't even linger too much in the lively city, but went straight back to the training base.

Because there was still a day left before the post-vacation training camp stipulated by Agusli, the first thing he thought of was to train with Corone.

But when he entered Corone's office, he only found a note left by Corone: "Qu, if I'm not mistaken, you will definitely end your vacation early, but I didn't, I want to be happy and party." If you want to do more training, do your own strength exercises, or take a ball and go on the pitch to practice shooting...... Haha......"

"I'm X, it's clever", Qu Jing looked at the smiling face that Corone sketched at the end of the note, it was hard to imagine that he, who was always serious, would have such an innocent moment.

He had no choice but to carry a few soccer balls to the training ground.

The huge training ground was empty, but that didn't dampen his enthusiasm for training, and after a brief pre-event warm-up, he began to practise free-kicks from around 20-40 yards.

As a midfielder, he can't always run to the penalty area like a striker, so more often than not, he focuses on hard work on long-range shots and free-kicks.

Corone, the "master of free kicks", gave him a lot of inspiration, and in his heart, there is also a benchmark figure: Mihajlovich.

According to official statistics, Mihajlovic has scored 43 free-kicks in his career, 27 of which have come in Serie A, the best defensive league in the world and rich in excellent goalkeepers. His free-kicks can reach speeds of up to 171 kilometres per hour and have a 91.7 per cent shot on target at their peak...... This is undoubtedly a statistic that will make any player feel terrible!

"It's even higher than many people's penalty shooting percentage," Qu Jing muttered to himself as he looked at the goal, although he also scored two free kicks in more than a dozen games, but it was still too far behind the likes of Mihajlovic and Juninho Jr.

At his current level, he has a deep understanding of how to run, change his cadence or how to make free throws, but he still needs a lot of training and study in terms of power, speed and change in the penalty line.

Just like the free-kick he had just taken, he actually aimed at the top left corner of the goal, but with no wall and no interference, he hit the crossbar anyway.

If you take into account the different weather conditions, such as wind or rain, it is clear that there is still a long way to go if he is to become the master of free-kicks in his ideal state.

"Qu, you secretly practice again......"

Just as he was thinking about how to make the ball accelerate and fall in front of goal, a voice behind him startled him.

Then he saw Sans, who was also carrying a few balls.

"Why didn't you enjoy the Christmas holiday to the fullest?" Qu Jing looked at Sanz, the young Brazilian is a bit like Fernandinho of Manchester City, and at first glance belongs to the type of conscientious, honest and full of physical strength.

"I'm more eager to play the main force as soon as possible than on vacation, just like you", Sans shrugged, and the Qujing touched him so deeply during this time that he returned to San Sebastian from Brazil immediately after Christmas Eve at the thought of the fact that Qujing always practiced hard. And unsurprisingly, he really saw the Qujing again at the base.

"Qu, I found that you are simply the hardest working person in our team, no wonder you are getting better and better", Sans Chong Qu Jing gave a thumbs up, he found that Qu Jing can not only use football to mobilize players on the field, but also use practical actions to influence these players, at least affect him.

"What's the matter, you Brazilians have amazing talent and have been practicing hard since childhood, I have to work harder," Qu Jing smiled at Sans, and as he said, he took a free kick of around 35 yards on the right side of the penalty area.

This time, the ball dropped significantly before reaching the goal, and even showed a small offset curve, which drew another exclamation from Sans.

Qu Jing was also satisfied with the free throw, and he walked to the sideline and wrote down his experience with the free throw in detail on a notepad.

Sans looked at his dense little notebook on the side, and his eyes widened in surprise: "Qu, what is this?" ”

Qu Jing raised his notepad at him, and said mysteriously: "This is a long-lost football cheat, and those who get it can have outstanding footwork, and from then on on the pitch vertical~horizontal~", and after speaking, he also put on a posture similar to the helmsman of the sea sailing.

This made Sans feel even more mysterious, he looked at the square words on the small notebook suspiciously, and shook his head in confusion: "You Orientals are always so magical, I can't understand it...... But can you tell me how I should improve? ”

Looking at Sans's serious appearance, it made Qu Jing feel a little embarrassed, he restrained the playful expression on his face, and said to Sans seriously: "I think you, you need to pay attention to two points, one is to kick the ball, and the other is the accuracy of the long pass." ”

This is not an unfounded nonsense, in fact, he is always looking at the characteristics of each team-mate in his daily training and games, such as the shortcomings of Ilia Ramendi's slow turn, which is also a central midfielder, and the lack of precision in the first shot and long ball.

This caused them to delay in switching from defense to attack, how to put it, they could launch a quick counterattack in a second, but because of various problems such as turning, timing of the ball and the accuracy of the transfer of the ball, it caused a delay in the fighter.

A mature team will not give the opponent too many opportunities and time, and often in a flash, it can determine whether a counterattack can be successful, which not only requires the scientific movement of the off-ball players, but also the decision of the players in a split second.

Sans nodded, and he had thought about the issue as well, including watching the experience of high-level players handling the ball. While he feels good in training, once he's on the pitch, especially when the first team doesn't start the game, he makes himself more careful with the ball to avoid mistakes. Over time, he has almost lost the ability to play the ball when he was with the B team......
