Chapter 447: Footbonaut
"This is our secret weapon to defeat the Space Team!" Klopp said, pointing to the mysterious square building behind him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hearing the head coach say this, the doubts in everyone's eyes were even greater.
The secret weapon to defeat Barcelona, how can it be in this unremarkably looking house?
It's a windowless house, and you can't imagine what this kind of house can do other than use it as a warehouse.
The answer was then revealed.
When Jurgen Klopp led the players into the "big" black house, the first thing that caught his eye was a huge iron cage.
Inside the cage is an artificial turf with a circle drawn by a white line, like the center circle of the court.
There was a lot of light shining into the cage above the roof, so even though it was a dark room without windows, the cage was as bright as day.
There are two square holes in the middle part of the cage around the cage, and there are eight holes on all four walls.
It all seems confusing and strange.
Everyone looked at what they were seeing with curiosity, not quite understanding what it was for.
Zhou Yi thought of a commercial that Nike had filmed, the Iron Cage Scorpion Fight, so he asked: "Coach, do you want us to be one-on-one inside......?
There was a burst of laughter from his teammates.
"I'd love to do that, boy. Klopp laughed too.
After joking, he clapped his hands, pointed to the iron cage and introduced everyone: "Welcome to 'footbonaut'!"
Hearing this name, everyone was still confused: "What is that?"
"As you can see, in front of you is a square area fourteen meters long and fourteen meters wide. The walls of this area are made up of seventy-two specially made wall panels, see that?" Klopp asked, pointing to the white holes.
Everyone nodded.
Klopp asked again: "Does anyone know how to play table tennis?"
Some members of the team raised their hands, with Zhou Yi being the tallest – a player from China who has to be confident in that regard.
When Klopp saw him, he asked him: "Zhou Yi, have you ever touched the ball machine of table tennis?"
Zhou Yi shook his head: "No, but I've seen it." It's a machine that keeps shooting out a ping pong ball, and then the table tennis player catches the ball on the opposite side and plays the ball......"
"Very well explained. Klopp nodded. "And this. He pointed to the white hole and said, "That's our ball machine!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yi could more or less guess what this mysterious and strange thing was for......
Jurgen Klopp went on to explain to the players: "You need to be in this white circle, get the ball from these ball machines, stop the ball, and then kick the ball towards the random lit grid. Sounds simple, right?"
Zhou Yi nodded habitually, and then was targeted by Klopp: "Hey, Zhou Yi." ”
"Huh?" Zhou Yi didn't expect to be named, he was a little confused.
"Here, you're here to show everyone!"
"Oh!" The teammates next to him whistled excitedly, they wanted to see Zhou Yi's appearance. Obviously, when Klopp asked "very simple", the answer he hoped for was definitely not "yes", and Zhou Yi was equivalent to hitting Klopp's muzzle.
Zhou Yi was just driven into the iron cage, and after entering the cage, the door was closed.
"Go to the middle circle. Klopp said as he pointed to the white circle outside.
Zhou Yi obediently walked in, and then began to look around, his head kept swaying from side to side, imprinting everything he saw in his mind, this is his habit, in a strange place, he will constantly observe the scan, and then record every detail of this environment.
"Are you alright?" Klopp asked outside.
Zhou Yi gave Klopp a thumbs up.
The teammates outside stood with a grin, waiting to see the duel between Zhou Yi and the machine.
"Okay, three seconds countdown. Klopp finished.
The seventy-two grids in the cage suddenly lit up red at the same time, which startled many people.
Then, one second later, the red light turns yellow, and another second later, the yellow light turns green.
When the green light goes off, two beeps sound, similar to when a car locks its doors, sounds.
Zhou Yi heard the sound coming from behind him, so he turned his head to look behind him, and saw a football suddenly popping out of a flashing red ball machine!
Zhou Yi hurriedly turned around, but halfway through, the football hit his supporting foot!
One stumbled, and he fell to the ground!
There was laughter from the teammates.
"Get up!" only Klopp yelled at Zhou Yi. "Hurry up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two more prompts sounded.
As soon as Zhou Yi looked up, he saw a football shot out of another ball machine, flying towards him, he reflexively used his hand to block his face, and the football hit his arm and spread out.
Seeing Zhou Yi so embarrassed, the teammates outside leaned back and laughed.
However, Zhou Yi also realized that this machine did not seem to stop because of his fall, so he quickly jumped up from the ground this time, he already knew how this machine worked.
The two beeps are a reminder that the ball is about to be launched from the hole in the direction where the tone is made, about a second before the pass, allowing the player to turn and get ready.
So this time, when the chime sounded again, Zhou Yi immediately judged that the football would pass from his right, so he quickly turned around and headed that way.
Sure enough, the red light outside the ball machine below the right side came on, and a soccer ball was launched.
Zhou Yi raised his leg to stop the ball, and the football was obediently stopped at his feet, and when he looked up again, he found that there was a green light around the grid on the left wall.
Zhou Yi hurriedly passed the football over, and the football accurately hit the grid, flipped the grid up, and rolled out.
The grid is then automatically flipped back.
Immediately afterwards, two more prompts sounded, this time from behind Zhou Yi, he turned around, the football flew over, and he raised his leg to stop the ball. After stopping, he looked up and saw that a grid directly facing him was lit up, Zhou Yi kicked the football over, and the football hit accurately again.
The third time, after Zhou Yi passed, the football hit the border of the grid and bounced back, and the green light turned yellow.
Zhou Yi ran out of the circle and kicked the football back to the grid, and when the yellow light turned red, the football finally succeeded in hitting the right target.
In this way, every time a prompt sounds, Zhou Yi will quickly turn around to complete the action of receiving the ball, and then repeat the whole set of actions of receiving and passing the ball.
In the process, he found that the target grid changed from green to yellow and then to red very quickly, and it could take only two seconds for three lights to come on. He had to kick the ball to the target in such a short period of time.
At the same time, the pass will sound immediately after the kick. There is almost no chance for Zhou Yi to take a breather and rest, he has to repeat this set of actions without interruption, and the whole person can't stop at all, and he can't stop.
However, this kind of fast-paced training made Zhou Yi feel addicted in the process...... He didn't think about anything else at all, he was fully focused, and all his energy was focused on finding targets, receiving the ball, passing the ball.
The teammates outside the cage gradually stopped laughing, and the expressions on their faces became more and more serious, because they also found that this thing was not a fun toy, and the content and training intensity shown in Zhou Yi's demonstration made many of them have to take the strange iron cage in front of them seriously......
They're both professionals and they know what that quick series of passes and catches means.
Just when Zhou Yi had already entered the realm of selflessness, the two prompts did not sound again.
Zhou Yi turned his head and turned around to look around, but the eight white ball machines never lit up again.
"Huh?" he hadn't figured out what was going on.
Klopp had already opened the door and walked in: "It's over." ”
"It's over?" Zhou Yi had an incredible expression on his face, he hadn't enjoyed it yet.
"Well, a single training session is a minute and a half. Klopp explained.
"Ah, can I do it again?Coach?" Zhou Yiyang begged.
"You think it's yours alone, they're waiting!" Klopp gestured to the players outside the cage.
Zhou Yi looked over and found that his teammates had the same excitement and eagerness in their eyes as himself. It seems that everyone is deeply attracted by this novelty!
Of course, he couldn't dominate the training facility alone, so he had to leave the cage with regret and dissatisfaction, giving up his place to his teammates.
Watching his teammates in the cage excitedly and a little clumsily adapt to this new training facility, Zhou Yi's heart itched and his feet itched.
He couldn't help but wonder if he could have a training facility like this that just for himself......
On this day, the whole Dortmund team, except for the goalkeeper, had a total of ten minutes of "footbonaut" training.
Zhou Yi was the same, but at the end of the training, he still said goodbye to this "big" black house with reluctance.
When he walked out with his teammates, Zhou Yi glanced back at the building with a white exterior wall and no windows.
He was seriously considering whether he could sneak back at night for special training......
