Chapter 20: Free kick practice
Quack, don't say anything, robbery, pay the ticket with a ticket, pay the collection without a ticket, click on the favorites, what, click nothing, if you don't do it, be careful with my eunuch, quack quack, I see if you do it according to my words, hehe! )
What should I do, George thought depressedly, and after thinking for a while, George really couldn't think of what training he needed to do now.
The technique is there, the speed is there, the strength is there, the ball sense is also there, as for the reaction and the sense of smell in front of the goal, these two things are talents, and it is difficult to train them no matter how much they train, and it seems that they are not bad in both aspects. It can be said that as a striker killer, you have all the things you should have, and the rest can only wait for you to grow up and get better physically.
Thinking of this, George couldn't help but look at Owen and Gerrard, who were training seriously, and at the same time dissatisfied with the youth team head coach Houllier not giving him a specific training session.
"Hey! What are you doing, have you forgotten everything I told you just now, who do you think you are, you think you are David Beckham of Manchester United, God, you dare to take a free-kick with such poor footwork. ”
At this time, George's ears suddenly heard the angry voice of youth team head coach Houllier, and he turned his head to look at it for a while before he understood what was going on.
It turned out that just now the youth team had an intra-team confrontation, and the red team got a direct free kick of 22 meters in front, and Houllier's original order was to let the red team directly come to a tactical free kick, but he did not expect to be shot by a direct free kick from Belgium's midfielder.
Obviously, the final result was that there was no progress, otherwise Hollier would not have had to be so angry.
Maybe he felt the anger of the head coach Houllier, but also knew that he was not doing it right this time, the midfielder from Belgium lowered his head in embarrassment and did not dare to look at Houllier.
"Damn, it's just ****!" Seeing that the Belgian guy who was scolded by himself didn't dare to make a sound, Hollier didn't want to say anything, but he still scolded angrily.
Damn Belgians, damn Manchester United. Why just walked a Giggs, God gave another Beckham with a full face, why didn't God send us a free-kick master for Liverpool's youth team!
Houllier said depressedly, in the youth team games in recent years, to put it bluntly, it is the competition between Liverpool and Manchester United, although as an opponent, Houllier also has to admit that the strength of today's Manchester United youth team is very strong, especially the free kick master, it seems that there has never been a shortage, why is there no free kick master in his own team.
(Giggs moved to the first team from Manchester United's youth team on 2 March 1991, while David Beckham joined United's youth team on 8 July 1991.) )
Due to George's young age, Hollier did not stipulate that George had to complete training sessions every day, and after George finished the training he had arranged for himself, he was more often by Houllier's side watching the youth team's intra-team games.
Hollier didn't say anything about George's reaction, he couldn't let George stand alone and watch, anyway, George was not in the way by his side, since it was like this, just follow it.
It has to be said that it is precisely for this reason that George often follows Houllier's side to watch the youth team's team games, and at the same time listens to Houllier on the side constantly shouting angrily at the team that made mistakes on the field, and bluntly said what they should do in the situation at that time, which made George benefit a lot, and greatly enhanced George's game reading ability.
And Houllier's words to himself naturally came into George's ears word for word, hearing Houllier's words, George's eyes lit up, and suddenly he naturally should practice something in the future, that is, free kicks.
Yes, it's a free-kick, and if you can't break the opponent's goal in a sports battle, then a set-piece is undoubtedly the best option.
After all, even top strikers such as Maradona and Baggio are not guaranteed to score goals in every game, and set-pieces are undoubtedly the best way to do this in the face of a situation that cannot be opened for a long time.
Undoubtedly, both Baggio and Maradona have an excellent free-kick kung fu, which also makes the two more lethal on the pitch.
"Coach, I want to train for a free kick, I don't know if I can do it!" Looking at Hollier with an angry face on the side, George asked cautiously.
"What, free kicks, you want to practice free kicks, if you really want to practice, then you go for it."
Hearing George's words, Hollier looked at George very puzzled and said, but thinking that George really has nothing to do now, and he is really incompetent as a head coach, since George has this idea, it is good to let George practice, even if it is to find something to pass the time for George.
Houllier doesn't think that George can really practice a good free-kick kung fu after practicing like this, because in Houllier's thinking, free-kicks are not something that can be practiced with practice, but more about talent.
But it is inevitable that George has such an idea, since this is the case, then let George go to practice, lest George stay here in the youth team and have nothing to do, if the head coach of the youth team Jos knows, then it is not to rush with me.
"Coach, I mean, if you want to practice free-kicks, you have to have at least a personal wall." Hearing that Houllier agreed, he ignored himself, and George thought about it and said what he thought.
George's words made Hollier suddenly understand, thinking that he was really absent-minded just now, practicing free kicks, how could there be no wall, could George practice against the empty goal like this, is it still called a free kick.
Thinking of this, Hollier said embarrassedly: "Hehe, my dear George, I'm sorry, I was negligent, I will immediately ask someone to move the wall for you." ”
With Houllier's words, the rest is much simpler, a five-person wooden man was suddenly put in front of the goal by the staff, and the rest needs to be done by George himself, at what distance to take the free kick, it all depends on George's personal preference.
Seeing that everything was ready, George no longer followed Houllier, but came to goal and began to take the free-kick.
George held the soccer ball and looked at the goal and the human wall, directly placed the soccer ball at a distance of about twenty-seven or eight meters from the goal, and then slowly took a few steps back, took a deep breath, rushed forward, and kicked the soccer ball with his right foot.
When the football flew out, George looked at the football with all his eyes, wanting to see if he could score a free kick he kicked.
However, the fantasy is beautiful, the reality is cruel, the football did not drill into the goal according to George's idea, on the contrary, with a "pop", the football hit the human wall, and finally fell to the ground weakly, and George's first free kick was declared a failure.
George didn't notice that Houllier, who was originally standing behind George and directing the internal game of the youth team, kept looking at George when he was about to take the penalty kick.
However, with George's penalty failure, Houllier still shook his head helplessly. In Houllier's mind, George has been unwittingly planned as a player with no talent for free-kicks.
George stood stupidly and didn't move, because George was thinking, what the hell is going on, you must know that the human wall is made of wooden people, not at all, if according to his shooting skills, usually even in the game, a shot like just now can be scored, even if it can't score, at least it will pose a great threat to the opponent's goalkeeper, why can't it be when taking a free kick, and even the human wall has not passed.
