Chapter 5 The First Training

Thor is worthy of being a top student who graduated from a professional sports college, and the first moment Xu Xiaoxin got the ball, he felt that Xu Xiaoxin was an amateur, or even an amateur.

He frowned, is this what Hill is talking about as a genius? No juggling, no stopping, no passing, no dribbling......

Well, this Xu doesn't seem to know even the most basic things about football.

It seems that we have to start with the most basic actions.

"Hey, Xu, haven't you played football before?" Thor asked, frowning.

Xu Xiaoxin touched his head and blushed: "Coach Thor, in fact, before I came to Spain, I couldn't even tell the difference between football and basketball!" ”

Although embarrassed, Xu Xiaoxin finally felt that it was better to tell the truth.

As a man destined to be a great scientist, you must have a heart that is not afraid of the eyes of the world. Xu Xiaoxin felt that he still had some deficiencies in what he did, and being diligent and studious was the action that a great man should do.

Thor couldn't help but touch the sweat on his forehead, it seemed that he had been pitted by Hill.

Alas, forget it, who told himself to get drunk and go to robbery. Damn Thor, how did you turn out to be a robber? Fortunately, I only need to be the coach of this Chinese kid for a month.

"Xu, you haven't been exposed to football at all, I think you should start training from the basics."

"Coach Thor, what is the most basic training?"

"Juggling the ball!"

"Juggling the ball? What is Juggling Ball? Can you show me that? Are there any rules when juggling the ball? What do we ultimately prove by doing so? ”

"Oh, Shet, don't tell me anything that feels jerky, okay? Xu, you watch, I'll show you. Thor picked up a soccer ball and started teaching Xu Xiaoxin to juggle the ball in Hill's yard.

A high-achieving student is a high-achieving student, and juggling the ball is a flowing water.

Xu Xiaoxin was a little dumbfounded, it turns out that football can still be played like this!

His heart suddenly became even hotter, and he wished that he could immediately become as powerful as Thor.

"Xu, don't look at me like that, when I was in college, we taught football as a subject, which is just the most basic thing, it needs to be accumulated over time, not overnight. You're now more about finding ball sense! ”

"What's the ball sense?"

"Ball sense, I heard that you are the first prize winner of the International Mathematics Olympiad, right?"

"yes, does that have anything to do with ball feeling?"

"To put it bluntly, it's like when you do those problems, if you want to make the problems, you have to have formulas, algorithms, and so on, right?"

"Yes!"

"Bingo, that's right, the ball is like those formulas, what you want to do on the football field, what opportunities you find, it's all about the ball feeling. Juggling the ball is actually very simple, swing the foot forward and up, hit the ball with the instep of the foot, and the ankle joint is fixed when hitting the ball, hitting the lower part of the ball. You can hit the ball with both feet alternately, or you can support the ball with one foot and hit the ball continuously with the other foot. Hit the ball with even force so that the ball is always around the body. Pay attention to your foot lifts and don't move too suddenly, which is a little too difficult for a beginner like you. Well, you have a try! ”

Xu Xiaoxin picked up the ball, threw it lightly, and then kicked it over his head.

"Xu, relax a little, don't be so your ankles! Okay, do it again! ”

"Hey, Xu, don't hook your toes down or up when hitting the ball, causing the ball to touch your body forward or backward after being forced, making it difficult to control the ball, relax, man, take your time. Okay, yes, that's all! ”

"Man, relax, you're too stiff, it's not going to work. Your whole body is uncoordinated, you can't find the point of focus at all, and the ball will naturally fly out. ”

"Xu, concentrate, you did a good job, you can do a few dozen times in the morning, not bad. Relax your whole body when juggling the ball, hit the center of the ball with the instep of your foot, take your time, you already feel it, stick to it. ”

The morning passed quickly, Xu Xiaoxin felt a little tired, but he was full of interest, and then when he was eating lunch, this fatigue completely disappeared.

Lunch was made by Hill, some vegetables with a little animal liver, and the taste really made him want to vomit.

As a result, Thor told him that if he wanted to be a professional footballer, he had to get used to this lifestyle, eat more vegetables, fruits, animal livers, eat less barbecue fried food, and not drink alcohol.

Xu Xiaoxin felt that many of these things were not so necessary, and after a morning of training, he thought about it seriously now, and felt that although Thor was right in many of them, some of them were not recognized by him.

He thinks that the juggling ball is actually really similar to a parabola, but it needs to add some knowledge of mechanics, and then according to the gravitational force of the earth and the force emitted by his feet, the trajectory of the ball is derived. Thinking about it this way, it seems that juggling the ball is not so difficult again.

A good lifestyle is indeed good, but it is not the same, the human body needs a lot of nutrients in a lifetime, just eating some food, will inevitably cause the lack of nutrients in the body, thereby reducing the body's vegetarian condition.

Xu Xiaoxin knew that his grandfather had to eat meat every meal, and then drink a little wine or two, the old man is now over eighty years old, and he is still walking like a fly.

He felt that there were no absolutes in everything, but this was only his first day of training, and he couldn't find it unpleasant. If you want to learn, you have to have the mind of bowing your head.

After lunch and a rest, Thor pulled Xu Xiaoxin to start the afternoon training again.

I have to admit Thor's professionalism, he always likes to do things at a glance, although it is just to teach the basics of juggling, but it makes Xu Xiaoxin feel the multi-faceted nature of football.

This is like Xu Xiaoxin's solution to a question, you must be wholehearted, if you are a little careless, it will be a wrong answer.

"Xu, although I don't want to say it, but I have to admit that you really have a talent for football, and in just one day, you can juggle the ball relatively smoothly. But don't be proud, football is a long-term career that requires your persistence all the time. I'll go to work first, you practice by yourself, and I'll come back tomorrow. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Thor patted Xu Xiaoxin on the shoulder, and then he was going to work in that little bar in Madrid.

Xu Xiaoxin's heart was moved, Thor was really sacrificing his rest time to teach himself. He secretly made up his mind that he would not fail Thor and Ciel's kindness.
