008 I'm going to conquer you (I)
On the morning of October 30, Sun Xiang and Raiola arrived at the training ground in Wolfsburg, where the entire squad had their midweek training routine.
"Hi Mr. Schmidt, the last few days had a good game!"
Schmidt, who was standing on the sidelines directing the training, heard the shouts and turned his head to see Raiola waving his hand towards him.
"Alas, don't talk about it, the problem of lack of midfield still can't be solved!" Thinking of the criticism in the last game, the German coach sighed helplessly.
"Okay, don't be discouraged, didn't I bring you good medicine." Raiola introduced Sun Xiang to his side.
"He's the Chinese player you said?"
Schmidt was surprised because the player in front of him was not quite what he expected. In his cognition, Chinese players are relatively thin and generally not tall. However, Sun Xiang stood there, 185 height, although not tall, but it looked very comfortable, and there were muscles, not what he thought Chinese looked like.
"How? Isn't that nice? Raiola asked with a smile.
"Anyway, it looks pretty good." Schmidt is undeniable.
"That's fine, let me know when the trial starts, I'll warm him up first." After speaking, he walked to a corner of the training ground with a confused Sun Xiang.
Sun Xiang took off his backpack and put it on the ground, and took out his sneakers from it, a pair of Puma's Evo TOUCH, the reason for wearing these shoes is very simple, this is the sneakers endorsed by Xiaofa. But now Xiaofa seems to have "empathized and don't fall in love" to vigor, but Sun Xiang, who is used to wearing this pair, does not plan to change to anything else.
"Sun Xiang, have you ever thought about endorsing sneakers?"
Glancing at Sun Xiang's sneakers that he had been wearing for a long time, Raiola asked casually.
"Speak for yourself? Of course I did! Sun Xiang affirmed.
A player can endorse a brand, that is the highest honor!
"With your strength, it's totally possible! Now, go warm up! Wonder Boy! ”

"Mino! Alright, let that kid come over! ”
Half an hour later, the tryout began.
First of all, the first major item is quality. Switchback run, 30m run, agility ladder, 3.6km timed run.
These are the most basic for a professional athlete, but a bit more difficult for non-professional players.
Although Sun Xiang has the habit of running every day, and his physical endurance is also quite good, he is still a little unbearable in front of his profession.
The switchback run and agility ladder are still OK, but 30 meters and 3.6 kilometers are the most difficult. Because Sun Xiang is not a speed-type player, he will only reach the passing line. 3.6 kilometers, not to mention, press a little back.
In the morning's quality test, Sun Xiang passed without danger, but such a result could not impress Mr. Schmidt.
In the afternoon, there is a ball test, juggling the ball, winding the pole, long passing, shooting, confrontation.
It can be said that the afternoon is Sun Xiang's performance time.
Juggling the ball, winding the pole, these two are the easiest, and Sun Xiang passed them all without pressure.
"Didawi! Come on! ”
After a long pass, Schmidt brought in Didawi, the German midfielder who has already handed in impressive statistics of three goals and three assists for the new season.
"This is Sun Xiang, a Chinese player who came to try out today, you should have seen it in the morning, I need you to do a set of 40-meter long pass training with him now, and you have to use both your left and right feet, understand?" Schmidt briefly asked Didawi for a moment.
"Got it. Come on! Come on bro! Di Dawei cheered Sun Xiang up.
"Uh...... What is he talking about...... "Sun Xiang said he did not understand German.
…………
40 meters sounds like a long distance, but in fact, it is the distance from the small forbidden area to the arc of the middle circle, not close or far, just within the controllable range.
Sun Xiang is a midfielder, and his idol is famous for his long passes, so he usually works his long passes.
Sure enough, after the long pass, Didawi was full of praise for Sun Xiang.
The fourth shot was divided into two parts.
Part 1: Place 5 balls at the top of the arc of the penalty area, each 5 meters apart, shoot in turn, and shoot the same amount of balls within the specified time.
Part 2: At 20 meters, 25 meters, and 30 meters, the assistant coach passes low, medium, and high balls to a 5×5 size area, and Sun Xiang can freely choose the way to shoot, as long as the shot is completed in the area.
The shot begins.
The 20-meter triathlon Sun Xiang completed the regular, and the 25-meter low ball also scored.
But there was an accident in the half-high ball......
The half-high ball was kicked out, and Sun Xiang planned to stop the ball with the outside instep and shoot, but the ball did not bounce to his feet as he expected, but bounced in the opposite direction and flew directly out of the area.
Schmidt, who saw this scene, couldn't help frowning. The German coach has always been known for his attention to detail, and he is more attentive to the handling of the details of the ball, so mistakes like Sun Xiang's are absolutely not allowed.
But fortunately, the subsequent handling of the 25-meter-high ball Sun Xiang did a very good job, stopping the ball with his chest, swinging his leg to shoot, and the ball went into the net.
30 meters low ball, Sun Xiang shot directly without stopping, and the ball drew a beautiful arc and hung it in the upper right corner of the goal.
30 meters of half-high ball, Sun Xiang still chose the outside instep to stop the ball, this time the football stopped very successfully, but the fly in the ointment is that the stopped football came to Sun Xiang's left side, but fortunately, it is still within the controllable range.
Sun Xiang made a brief adjustment, and then shot angrily with his left foot, and the football exploded into the goal like a cannonball.
Since Sun Xiang got Xiao Luo's ball sense, he found that his hitting position for many years was not in place.
"Oh my God......" Schmidt was stunned at the sight of the ball.
The most exciting thing is to see this kind of amazing goal, although it is not as pleasant as the official game, but it is really good to see it.
However, Schmidt did not think that more exciting things were yet to come.
The 30-meter high ball started, the high ball was issued, Sun Xiang stared at the ball, and seemed to see the landing point of the ball.
Just when everyone thought that he would stop the ball and choose a relatively safe way to score the ball, Sun Xiang's approach surprised people.
Between Sun Xiang suddenly retreated when the ball fell, evacuated the correct landing point, and then suddenly got up after the ball bounced up twice, facing the falling ball is a volley, the ball does not carry any rotation, drawing a strange arc in the air, and hitting the bottom edge of the goal crossbar with a "ping" sound bounced into the goal.
"Oh God!" Schmidt held his head in disbelief.
"This ball...... It looks like the ball. Raiola saw this familiar scene and muttered to herself.
It is true that Sun Xiang played according to the first goal of the Inter game, but he is not sure that he can still score. As a result, he didn't expect that this goal not only scored, but also scored more excitingly.
"Young, that goal was beautiful!" The assistant coach who passed the ball to him also gave him praise, although Sun Xiang did not understand.
With these wonderful goals, Sun Xiang also successfully passed the shooting test.
Next, it's time for the actual battle.
