Chapter 12 External Vision
Ringer was standing in the honor room of the Bayer Football Academy, where there were not many substantive honors, there were no golden trophies, only a photo.
Photos of Japanese Football Association officials visiting, photos of J-League team presidents and Tom Beyer, photos of Shinji Kagawa once learning to play here, photos of Keisuke Honda training here, and there is also a photo in the middle of Bayer standing with Beckenbauer and Jacques (head coach of the 98 World Cup winner France), which is a photo of Ronaldo presenting the Ballon d'Or at the 02 World Cup.
It can be seen from these that Bayer, an American, has a very high status in the Japanese football world, as can be seen from the fact that the Japanese Football Association can arrange for him to partner with Beckenbauer and Jacques to present awards to Ronaldo.
"Lin, let's go." It was Thomas Crott who spoke, and today is the day he is temporarily away from football school.
Ringer has been here for more than two months of basic training, and he has learned a lot, and Thomas Krott has come to pick him up himself.
"Goodbye, kids, I'll treat you to sushi next time." Coming out, Ringer said goodbye to the children in a loud voice.
Watching the car go away, Tom Bayer's eyes were complicated.
Bayer was not a traditional American, he grew up fond of football, which made him look very different, at that time in the United States, most children thought that football was a sissy sport played by girls (because the American women's football team is very high), and real men played football and basketball. As a result, Bayer went to Canada to study, where he would not be ridiculed for playing football.
Later, Bayer became a professional player, but his career was quite unsuccessful, most of the time playing in the North American lower leagues and even semi-amateur teams, but Bayer was convinced: It's not that I can't do it myself, I just didn't get professional training when I was a child, and I missed the best time to practice football.
Later, Japan vigorously developed football, recruited youth talents from all over the world, and his career did not improve, and Bayer, who was not yet 30 years old, directly chose to retire and obtained a coaching certificate to seek development in Japan.
In Japan, Bayer co-founded a soccer school, and thanks to the country's booming soccer environment, Bayer's soccer school quickly became a success, and the school also recruited many professionals, but Bayer always insisted on one thing: practice football as early as possible, and the best time for children to learn football is between the ages of five and ten. In fact, deep down, Bayer believes that the real best age should be three to eight years old, but no parent wants to send a three-year-old child to football school, so he has to lower the bar.
Over the years, Bayer's philosophy has been successful, and his soccer school has come out of Shinji Kagawa, Keisuke Honda, Aya Miyama and others, and other children may not have been so successful, but they all developed excellent foot skills.
But in the past month or so, Bayer has shaken his football philosophy. An old friend of his sent a young man in his twenties, who had never been trained professionally, and now wanted to learn football. It stands to reason that Bayer would never accept such an "old student", which was not in harmony with his philosophy, but he couldn't resist the pleas of his old friend, and finally left the young man.
In just over a month, Bayer's philosophy was challenged. Although the young man had never been professionally trained, he learned football knowledge quite quickly, he was like a sponge, constantly absorbing all kinds of football knowledge, and he learned faster than the most talented child Bayer had ever seen.
What makes Bayer most unbelievable is that he actually saw the shadow of a superstar in this young man.
"Is my concept outdated?" Bayer looked at the car in the distance and couldn't help but think to himself.

"Lin, I'm not mistaken, you are really a genius, you can learn almost all those basic things in such a quick time."
Ringer touched his nose, he felt that his biggest gain during this time was not how much basic things he learned, but that he figured out the external vision function of the cheating glasses. On that day, he was reminded by Bayer, asking him to look at the empty space on the court while dribbling the ball, and for some reason, the outward view function of the cheating glasses was inexplicably turned on.
The outside view function is used during the game, and when it is turned on, you can see the open positions between the opposing defenders on the field, and those empty positions will show red, and the more empty spaces you can use, the more obvious the red will be.
Ringer believes that with this outward vision, he can perform better on the court in the future.
It's been a few months since the cheating glasses were turned on, and Ringer doesn't make such a fuss about them anymore, so recently Ringer has had a more systematic study of the cheating glasses and a more detailed understanding of the three functions of the glasses.
The internal view function can be turned on and viewed anytime and anywhere, or it can be turned off at any time, and there is no limit to this function; The lifting function and the external view function are mutually contained, and only one of them can be turned on every day, and the lifting function can no longer be turned on after using the external vision function today, and the external vision function can no longer be used if the lifting function is turned on.
There are also many restrictions on the use of the external vision function, every time the external vision function is turned on on the court, although you can see the defensive gaps on the court, but the consumption of your own physical strength is particularly large, and Ringer roughly estimates that it is about five times the consumption of physical strength. And the external vision function can only be turned on at most once a day, and it will be turned off a few minutes after opening, so it can't be turned on again today, but the long-term opening of the physical strength can not afford to consume, so when to turn on in the real game, how long to open, that has to rely on Ringer himself.
Ringer also made a new discovery of the boost function, after turning on the boost function, the potential value increases faster when practicing with the ball, and it will slow down when not dribbling, but it will not stop, even if you walk after turning on the boost function, there will be a slow increase in the potential number value, although this increase is very slow. Therefore, Ringer plans that as long as there is no competition day in the future, the promotion function will always be turned on, and the so-called mosquito legs are also meat, and there will be a considerable amount of accumulation after a long time.
Of course, Ringer couldn't tell Crott what he knew, so he digressed the subject and said, "Thomas, have you been staying in Japan and not going back to Europe?" ”。
"Europe is currently in the middle of the season, and there won't be many transfers during the winter break, but here in Asia, there will be a lot of player transfers at the end of the season." Speaking of this, Krot glanced at Ringer: "Lin, you're about to be 21 years old, right?" ”
"Well, in two weeks." Ringer was born on December 24, 90 and is about to celebrate his 21st birthday.
"21 years old is not a small age, I plan to arrange for you to enter the professional league, you need to play now, you need to make your reputation, although professional players rely on strength to speak, but fame is also very important."
Hearing what the other party said, Ringer knew that the other party had been prepared, so he asked, "Is there any suitable team?" ”
"I'm sure you've got what it takes to be in the J-League, but your age will hold you back, and you'll have to sit on the bench for a while when you're in most teams, but there are two teams that are right for you at the moment, and if you're lucky, you can get a place in the team very quickly."
Japan is a country that pays great attention to seniority, and most companies believe that older people are more capable, and it is difficult for young people to get opportunities, so young people in Japan are under great pressure for a long time, and they commit suicide if they can't hold on, so it has become the country with the highest suicide rate. This tradition even extends to football, where the older of the two players with the same position is more popular, and the younger is often left to sit on the bench for long periods of time.
"What are the two teams you're talking about?"
"They are all teams that have been successfully promoted in the J2 League this year, one is Hokkaido Sapporo Consadole, although they have been successfully promoted, but the team is in financial difficulties, and it has been confirmed that there will be no funds to strengthen the team in the new season, which means that next season they can only rely on the teams in the J2 League last year to continue to compete in the J1 League, and the possibility of relegation is very high, but such a team, you must have a lot of opportunities to go."
"What about the other one?"
"The other team is Tokyo FC, they are not only the J2 League champion this year, but also reached the final of the Emperor's Cup, this year's Japanese Emperor's Cup is a lot of upsets, and the finals are all J2 League teams, and Tokyo FC's opponent is the weaker Kyoto Immortals, and Tokyo FC has a good chance of winning the championship. If he wins the Emperor's Cup, he will play in the Asian Champions League as a promoted horse in the new season, but for the head coach of Tokyo FC, if he wins the championship, he will leave the head coach position......
"Japan's Pan Changjiang is getting out of class?"
Attending university in Tokyo, Ringer naturally knows a thing or two about Tokyo's two teams, Tokyo Green and Tokyo FC. Tokyo Green was the league champion of the J-League for the first two years of its existence, but unfortunately it has long since declined and has become a J-League lift, and the promotion and relegation are having fun. Tokyo FC, which was only formed in 98, has become the representative of Tokyo football, although it has never won a weighty championship, but most of them have stayed in the J1 League, and they were unexpectedly relegated the year before, and now it only took a year to be promoted back.
Ringer's biggest impression of Tokyo FC is that their head coach, Daxiong Qing, known as Japan's Pan Changjiang, looks really like Pan Changjiang and is about the same height. Ringer still remembers that at the beginning, the fat man was watching TV at home, and he happened to see the game of Tokyo FC, and jumped up and said: "Ouch, I'll go, why did Pan Changjiang go to Japan to watch the game?" Later, I learned that it was Tokyo FC's head coach Kiyoshi Ohumami, but after that, Ringer and Fat Man kept calling each other Pan Changjiang of Japan.
"What Pan Zhang?" Krot asked curiously.
"Nothing, you continue." Ringer felt that it was not clear to explain to a foreigner what was the Japanese Pan Changjiang.
