On the largest training ground at Thorpe Arch, Charlotte Black, who has just recovered, is working on passing.

I saw him make a long pass to Bale, who had also just made a comeback in the distance.

Bale used his chest to stop the ball steadily, then adjusted appropriately and then played a long pass with his left foot back to Black.

"Hey, little Gareth!" Leeds United coach Speed, who was presiding over the training, called off Bale and Black's practice, saying, "If you can pass the ball with your right foot, Charlotte will be more comfortable receiving the ball." ”

As he spoke, Speed called both of them to his side and began to show them while gesturing.

With that, he asked Bale to stand where he was, then asked Blake to run to the left front, then asked Bale to make a long pass with his left foot and his right foot, and finally gave feedback when Blake returned.

Obviously, in this position and direction, Blake, as a right-footed player, must not be very comfortable receiving either way, but compared to that, he would definitely prefer to receive the pass from Bale's right foot.

Because of the one that came out with his left foot, Blake was like looking for a star in the sky, and he needed to look up to find the ball.

Several players on the sidelines who had already completed training even made horns with their hands to start the joke between the two players on the field: "Charlotte, did Bale just drop a bomb?" ”

Blake was too lazy to pay attention to the people below, but Bell saw that they were laughing at him, and countered to Baines, who was joking with him below: "That's right, just like you drop a bomb when you go to the toilet." ”

"Hahaha~"

George Lee and Chris Casper stood on the outskirts of the pitch and saw and heard what had just happened.

George Lee said to Casper: "Gary is still very good, he can indeed find these details, and we need someone to detain these details." ”

"......" Casper didn't answer, because he listened to it as if the other party was saying that he was not doing his job properly.

"What do you think is the most comfortable way to pass the ball just now for Charlotte?"

"Of course, let Bale pass with the outside of his right foot, so he can choose to stop the ball, hit the goal, and dribble the ball at the first time."

"It's a good way to do this kind of wide transfer, or a diagonal pass from the wing, if you can use the outside instep."

The outer instep is a technique that uses the explosive power of the calf muscles to touch the ball with the surface of the foot a little outside and quickly kick the ball out. It is mainly used to pass the ball to teammates in the same direction as the foot, roll the ball in an arc, or shoot in an arc with a strong external rotation.

'I've also counted that in our team it seems that apart from Sneijder, no one else passes in this way. Casper said.

George Lee pinched his chin and began to imagine that his midfielder could use this way to pass the ball that was both flashy and practical.

Not to mention the outside instep shot, but in terms of the overall use of the outside instep, the most sophisticated use of this technique is definitely Portugal's Quaresma. But this kind of outside instep with a bit of showmanship is not what George Lee wants, what he needs is his players to be able to choose the most suitable way between the inside and outside instep to make the most threatening passes.

As Casper said, the first time you can stop the ball, you can hit the goal, you can dribble the ball.

Caspar looked at George Li without moving, he pushed the people around him and asked: "You don't want Charlotte to use this technique too, I beg you, you can't use this kid as an all-rounder, he is still the most suitable for playing fullback, we are just short of people in the midfield so we pushed him to the position of the back midfield." ”

"I didn't say I was going to let Charlotte practice the outside of the instep."

Casper looked at George Lee with a look of disbelief and continued: "Unless you find a good right-back, I, the technical director, will definitely not agree to you doing this." ”

George Lee wasn't ready to continue dwelling with Casper over the issue, he just felt that the team lacked a player who could make good use of the outside instep.

"Aside from Wesley, who else on our team has the best instep?"

Casper looked up for a moment, then looked down at his electronic watch again. Compared with George Lee's non-stop high-end watches on his wrist, Casper still likes electronic watches with diverse functions.

After confirming the time, Casper motioned for George Lee to follow him.

As he walked, he said to George Li: "You are lucky, there happened to be a youth team game today, and there is a person whose outer instep can be said to be quite powerful." ”

"Who?"

"You know this person better than I do." The corners of Casper's mouth curled up as he finished speaking, revealing a wicked smile.

Caspar said this, and George Li could almost guess who Casper was talking about. But which of the two is specific, George Li still needs to go to see it to confirm.

At the same time, George Li also realized that he was really unqualified as a father, and it was up to others to tell him how well his son played. But then again, as a manager, you don't need to fully understand your team's youth team, after all, being able to do everything can exhaust you.

The pair made their way to another pitch where they were surrounded by some Leeds United staff and it was clear that a youth game was going on.

Before he could get closer, George Lee heard the voice of Leeds United's youth team manager, Stuart Gray. It should be halfway through the game, and the young players of the two teams are resting on the sidelines while listening to their coaches' tactics.

George Lee stood on the sidelines and didn't go with Casper to Gray. He didn't want to put pressure on the young players because of his presence, he just wanted to quietly watch the players of the youth team play, especially what Casper said about his son's outside instep technique.

The young players of both teams are almost out of rest and ready to play. It's just that Carl Olsen, who was just about to play, was stopped by Casper walking by.

Casper leaned over to Olsen's ear and whispered a few words, pointing to where George Lee was.

Olsen also squinted and nodded after seeing his father, and finally waved his hand to indicate that he was going to play.

Olsen gathered his teammates around him and sat in a circle about what he was talking about. George Lee found that several of them were outstanding young players, and he had seen these names in the academy director's report, such as Phillips, Bayram, Troy, Cook, and McBurney, all of whom were more talented.

Sean Wallace is not here because the echelon of this age can no longer accommodate his big Buddha.

The second half of the game started immediately, and George Lee was very much looking forward to the performance of his son.

"What did you tell him?"

"What else can I say, it's for him to show his father his skills."

As he spoke, George immediately saw what Olsen wanted to show him.

Olsen received a pass from teammate Phillips behind him, and reached out to signal his teammate Troy on the left to step in.

After Troy stepped forward, Olsen first protected the ball with his back, and after finding that his teammates were running in about the same position, he went to a one-two with Troy.

After successfully turning around, he took two steps forward and finally performed what the two people on the sidelines wanted to see.

On the left flank, a diagonal half-high ball was played with the outside of his right foot, which went around a replay centre-back and came in front of McBurney at the back post.

McBurney pushes the ball into the back of the net.

After George Li saw this goal, he clenched his fists hard and swung it hard.

This is the outer instep he wants to see.

Although the strength of this pass is still a little worse due to his age, the overall effect is what George Lee wants to see.

It's not just this outside instep, just the process of scoring a goal, George Lee sees the whole process of Olsen from protecting the ball, sharing the ball, and passing the ball, and officially the figure of the midfielder in his mind.

Olsen was celebrating the goal with his team-mates, but his eyes kept looking to the sidelines.

George Lee also saw this kid's movements and gave him a thumbs up.

However, it will be several years before this kid plays for himself!
