Chapter Thirty-Seven: Shooting is the Striker's Work!
Chapter 37 Shooting is the work of the striker!
In Simon? In Grayson's mind, he already had a rough plan for all the rest of the season, and with so many games to play, there had to be a priority.
Defending the Premier League title is naturally the most important task for Leeds United this season, and it is king to make the team the best in England first.
A game of this level in the Champions League is too uncertain after entering the knockout stage, and now Shaq has also passed his prime, and he is no longer the super killer who can decide the outcome of the game by himself at all times, Simon? Grayson doesn't plan to die on this, if he has the opportunity, it will be a good thing, and if he doesn't have the opportunity to compete for the championship, forget it.
Shaq is getting old, and that really makes Simon? Grayson felt helpless, but this is an indisputable fact, even if the current Shaq is still the best player in the world, but he has indeed stepped down from the altar and began to feel like a hero.
The "Three Lions" have lost the World Cup and the European Cup, although there is a decline in the overall strength of the team, but it also proves that Shaq has personally begun to decline, otherwise if it were changed to before, Shaq could have carried the England team forward by himself, and he really did it before.
As for the League Cup and the FA Cup, these two competitions are not so much Simon? Grayson values it, he has won all the championships, this kind of gold championship, "Brutal Simon" is really not rare, unless it is in the final to use the main force of his team, otherwise it is all for young players to practice and accumulate game experience, even the number of non-critical league games will be the same.
Leeds United are clearly not very attractive to the star right now, so Simon? Grayson also recognized this time that the growth of young players is the guarantee of the future of the "Young Guard". Only those who have cultivated themselves are the most trustworthy!
Immediately after, Simon? Grayson has also started a series of contract extensions, and now that many of the youngsters in the team are doing well, it is time to give them a new contract, which will make the team more stable.
In Simon? When Grayson was busy. Shaq was not idle, but his task was very simple, which was to train his chosen successor...... Campbell!
Every day after the team's normal training, Shaq will take Campbell to continue to practice on the training ground, teaching him his experience and skills, although he knows that because of the "black feet", Campbell can not improve quickly, and it is impossible to catch up with his own achievements, but Shaq still hopes to help this young man. Let him be the leading goalscorer for Leeds United in the future, after all...... "Young Guard" is his own!
What about Campbell, Shaq and Simon? Grayson also chatted in detail, and unanimously felt that this young man's sense of smell and sense of grabbing points in front of the door was much better than the original Shaq, and when he was young, Shaq completely relied on his body to eat, and he worked hard all the way without any injuries. Grayson seemed like a miracle. Shaq himself knew that it was all the work of the "Black Feet".
Leeds United's coaching staff have developed a detailed training plan to develop Campbell into a true striker, step by step. The first step is to ...... Long shot!
Shaklay's famous "Shaq GOAL" is a typical long-range shot, and he has also scored countless goals in this way, and Shak's experience and skills in this area are absolutely unique in the world.
Leeds United will next play Wolves in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, and Leeds United beat their opponents at home with a score of 5-1 in the first leg. Grayson announced the roster early in the morning, and it was all young players. Get young people ready to play as early as possible.
This arrangement also gave Leeds United's main players more time to rest, and Shaq also began to teach Campbell......
"Liam, you know my long-range shot is NB, right? Ha, I can tell you. It's not just the result of my hard work, it's also a skill......
The thirty-two-year-old Shaq has long reached the point of perfection in long-range shooting, and when he organizes the language, it is easy for Campbell to understand several keys to scoring from long range.
First of all, it has to be the player's individual long-range footwork, if you can't even kick the ball into the goal, then how can you score?
No one can do anything about this, except for continuous hard training, you can only rely on talent, long-range shooting is very demanding for a player's body, Campbell can't meet the standard in this regard, and can only start first from the accuracy aspect.
"Remember! If you kick accurately and suddenly, the success rate of long-range shots will be much higher, especially the more the opponent thinks you can't shoot, the success rate will be higher! If you look back at the timing of my long-range shots, there are a lot of times when the opposing player is in front of me, and the opposing goalkeeper will definitely not think that you will suddenly shoot from a distance, so ...... Huh, you get it? ”
Shaq unreservedly taught Campbell his long-range shooting skills, as for whether this young man can master it, and to what extent, it is not up to him to control, but at least...... Campbell's attitude is good, the young man didn't get flustered because of the last game, this kind of mentality is rare!
On January 28, Leeds United went to play away to Wolves, Campbell's long-range shot on the training ground, after all, the time was too short to really use it on the field, after two long-range shots missed in the first half, Campbell did not dare to shoot from a distance, and he only had one header in the whole game to pose a threat, failed to help the team break through the opponent's goal.
However, Wolves were unable to break through Leeds United's goal, and the two sides ended in a 0-0 draw, and the "Young Guards" advanced to the League Cup final with a score of 5-1 over two legs.
After the Carabao Cup semi-finals, Leeds United will then play Sheffield United in the fourth round of the FA Cup, this time at home. Grayson also led the team back to Leeds from Molineux and told the youngsters that they would be fielded for the next game, but he didn't want to see another draw.
Shaq, who went with the team but didn't play, began to use the game video with his computer to open a small stove for Campbell on the way: "Liam, look at this time...... This is a great opportunity! The opposing goalkeeper is positioned on the left. If you can kick the ball with your left foot and hit the top right corner of the opponent's goal, and the route is a little higher, it is entirely possible to score! And this time...... Why didn't you get your feet up? And this time there was no long shot either! What do you think you're sweating so much on the training pitch for? ”
"I ...... I didn't feel like I was practicing well enough, so I ...... Belch. Shaq, I'm sorry! ”
Campbell's face flushed, he really didn't see these opportunities at the time, but he really didn't have the confidence to get up and shoot from distance, and then he missed the chance to open the scoring in the second half.
"Not good enough?"
Shaq smiled: "Liam, you are a striker, your only task on the field is to shoot and score!" Shooting is like passing the ball to you, scoring goals is just the result of your work! Isn't anyone telling you if you feel like you have a chance to score? Then go shoot because that's what you do as a striker...... Oh, and no one told you? Well, from now on, remember that phrase! ”
The rest of the bus was silent, and a group of young people were listening to Shaq's words, and they suddenly felt that Shaq's words were ...... Makes sense!
Shaq has already scored the most goals in world football today, but his goal scoring rate is ...... It really doesn't seem that high!
And those in corners, free kicks. Compared to the defenders who took advantage of the header to smash the opponent's goal, Shaq's goals were paid for by shooting again and again. There is no such thing as a fluke!
When I think back to Shaq's game, it's really like that, he always shoots again and again, and this time he can't score, then next time, next time...... Always break the opponent's goal!
It's always after the door...... Keep shooting, keep scoring!
Simon? Grayson, Xavi, Di Vaio, Andreoli and other coaches were also listening quietly......
Shot...... It's the work of a striker!?
Gee!
How well that is said!
The coaches of Leeds United's coaching staff suddenly noticed. If Shaq wants to be a coach in the future, maybe he can train a lot of excellent strikers, just this sentence "shooting is the job of a striker", which is to fulfill the responsibility of a striker on the field.
None of them saw it except Shaq. Campbell's eyes brightened when he heard Shaq's words, and he seemed to have suddenly found a door, a closed door that he had not noticed before!
Three days later, Leeds United host their opponents in the fourth round of the FA Cup...... Sheffield United!
Simon? Grayson didn't break his promise and sent Campbell, Colm, John? Allen, Bruckman, Hoydenck, Wither, Paul? Young players such as Drapper even fielded a left-back who was only 18 years old when he made his first appearance...... Nigel? Yabby!
Because it has long been known that Leeds United will use the League Cup, FA Cup, and unimportant leagues to train young players, so even if Sheffield United is a Championship team, they are not afraid of the "Young Guards" in front of them, but said before the game that they want to win.
But the cruel fact is that only 5 minutes into the game, Campbell was still five meters away from the top of the arc of the penalty area, and when he received Hojdenk's pass, he turned sideways and dunked the ball with his right foot to his left side, and after shaking off the defenders who were running with him, he kicked the ball directly with his left foot......
"Whoosh!"
The ball went directly to the upper left corner of Sheffield United goal, the ball speed was not fast, and the line was very straight!
However, the Sheffield United goalkeeper was relatively far to the right because of his previous position, and by the time he spotted Campbell's cold shot, it was too late to move sideways to make a save......
“GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Elland Road Stadium exploded!
Campbell, who scored the goal, stood there stunned, his eyes were full of incredulity, he didn't even make a celebratory action, and his mind only thought about how Shaq taught him to shoot when his opponent didn't expect it...... I really have to memorize it! (To be continued......)
