December 24th.

Before Christmas Eve, Leicester City had their final training session.

In two days' time, they will be tested by their first Premier League Christmas Devils schedule.

The opponent in the first game is Tottenham Hotspur, a north London powerhouse that has been among the BIG6 teams in recent years!

Therefore, in order to avoid the situation of injury and attrition in training, the training arranged by the team for the players is some recovery training items, such as simple warm-up passing, receiving, running, etc.

After an hour and a half of group training sessions, everyone went to the physiotherapy room to relax their muscles with a massage from the team's physiotherapists.

However, unlike other teammates who ran to massage immediately after completing training, Ling Feng was left alone on the training ground, intending to practice.

Seeing that Ling Feng didn't go together, Mahrez couldn't help but stop and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Ling, today is Christmas Eve, are you still planning to practice?"

"Hmm."

"Need I help you?"

"No, I don't practice stopping the ball, and I don't practice long-range shooting."

As soon as these words came out, it aroused Mahrez's curiosity:

"And what do you practice?"

"Practice dribbling!"

Yes!

Today, he doesn't plan to practice long-range shooting or stop the ball, but plans to experiment with the exclusive skill of Kaka he just got - [Horse Riding Meteor]

Kaka, as the strongest man before Melo, once defined the apex of an era.

The eternal prince of San Siro, the most emblematic thing, in addition to the celebration of pointing to the sky after the goal, is the dribbling posture with his head held high and striding meteors!

Of course, in his previous life, he also saw the famous scene of Kaka walking Messi with the ball in an international friendly match.

At that time, Kaka had just come off the bench and Messi had already played more than 60 minutes.

The physical fitness of the two is not equal at all.

However, even under the premise of equal physical fitness, Messi can't catch up with Kaka.

Because, Messi has never been a fast horse known for his speed.

He's never fast without the ball, it's how often he dribbles with his feet!

Of course, in terms of man-ball combination ability alone, Kaka is definitely historic.

Therefore, Messi can't catch up with Kaka's famous scene, although it looks surprising.

However, it is actually quite reasonable.

Hearing Ling Feng's answer, Mahrez couldn't help but be stunned on his face:

"Dribbling?"

"That's right! I've been working on Kaka's dribbling stance lately and I always feel like I can do it too. So I wanted to give it a try."

As for Ling Feng's own manipulation of figuring out how to make himself stronger, Mahrez has long been accustomed to it.

In his opinion, Ling Feng was like a sponge that would never be satisfied.

He will take the initiative to jump into the ocean of knowledge, absorb the knowledge about football again and again, and then find ways to turn it into his own!

Before, it was stopping the ball, then shooting from distance, and now to dribbling, this young man has been learning and improving!

"Oh, you really don't need me to cooperate with you?"

"I'll practice it alone, and I'll tell you if I really need it."

Seeing Ling Feng's attitude so resolute, Mahrez didn't continue to insist, "Okay, you know where to find me"

With that, he turned away in a dashing manner.

After the other teammates left, Ling Feng, who had exclusive access to the training ground, began his own experiment:

He first placed three or four yellow dummy walls irregularly on half of the court, simulating the opponent's defensive scene blocking the advancing path.

Then, he drove the ball forward on the center circle line, and passed the defenders who were standing on the pile as quickly as possible.

Of course, at the beginning, he didn't directly use his speed to make soup, but slowly dribbled the ball forward, and in the safest way, he passed the training dummy wall in front of him.

Normally, the part of a professional player who touches the ball is the outside of the instep of his or her habitual foot.

Most pros tilt their feet slightly downwards and bend their toes inwards to create a larger contact area to push the ball.

Because of this dribbling, the ball can always be in front of you, it is easier to control and change the trajectory of the ball, and it will not be easy to go wide.

And when Ling Feng was dribbling the ball, he also pushed the ball with the outside of the instep of his right foot.

In the past, when he carried the ball forward, most of the time he made soup, directly used the outside of his instep to drive the ball out, and then chased it with his speed.

Now, when he dribbles the ball, he is more focused on keeping the ball within 30 centimeters in front of his right foot.

This requires him to find his own dribbling step and rhythm.

So, he slowed down at the beginning and slowly found his senses.

After repeatedly dribbling the ball past several yellow dummy walls in front of him, Ling Feng obviously felt that his dribbling accuracy was higher, and the ball under his feet was better controlled.

Moreover, he doesn't even have to look down at the ball at his feet, he can control the ball firmly in front of his feet!

You must know that after a long period of training, his [dribbling] attribute can reach seventy.

This value is definitely not excellent.

Therefore, this is definitely the change brought to him by Kaka's exclusive skill [Horse Riding Meteor]!

However, as soon as he started to slowly increase his dribbling speed, he started to make mistakes.

Either it's a little too big, or the ball is too close to your feet.

Obviously, although the skill of [Horse Riding Meteor] can allow him to keep an eye on the ball under his feet under slow propulsion, he can also carry the ball firmly and well.

However, it is not enough for him to be like the peak Kaka, under the high-speed dribble propulsion, with his head held high, without looking at the ball, to be able to accurately control the ball within the right distance.

After experiments, the results of the experiment were similar to Ling Feng's conjecture.

Each player's unique skill allows him to master the technical points of this skill in an instant.

However, each player's unique skill needs to be supported by corresponding attributes in order to maximize the effect of the skill!

Although there is no such thing as proficiency for each skill.

However, based on my previous experience in mastering the two skills of [Pull Ball Callback] and [Putter Master], through the increase of attributes and consistent training, you can become more handy!

So, he started training with the ball again and again.

Half an hour

an hour.

Until the other teammates had completed the physiotherapy and came to the restaurant for lunch, Ling Feng could still be seen concentrating on practice on the training ground, sweating.

Seeing this scene, their hearts suddenly rose in awe.

Although they get along day and night, they have long known Ling Feng's diligent attitude in training.

However, it was only then that they finally understood why the black-haired young man had become an indispensable midfield for Leicester City and the Three Lions at the age of nineteen.

And shined in the Premier League, won the European Golden Boy Award, and became the best player under the U21 level in world football!

And this scene in front of you is why!

。。。

In the end, an hour and a half later, Ling Feng reluctantly ended the training under the "scolding" of head coach Pearson

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ling Feng drove his black Land Rover back to his parents' home.

Maybe it's because he moved out to live, or because of Christmas Eve, there are a lot fewer paparazzi squatting outside the house.

"Mom, Dad, I'm back!"

Christmas Eve, for Europeans and Americans who believe in Jesus' brother, is equivalent to Chinese New Year's Eve for Chinese.

It's an important day for families to reunite and spend quality time together.

Although neither Ling Feng nor his father believed in God. However, his mother, Julia, was a devout believer.

So, when Ling Feng took out the key and pushed the door into the living room, he saw a colorful Christmas tree placed in the corner!

Before Ling Feng could wait, her mother Julia, who was wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen quickly.

Seeing Ling Feng, she suddenly showed an incomparably bright smile:

"Oh, my darling."

As she spoke, she directly stepped forward to give Ling Feng a big hug, and then kissed her baby son on the face:

"Wash your hands first, then help in the kitchen!"

"Okay!"

In England, Christmas Eve customs are similar in every family.

It's nothing more than the women cooking a turkey feast in the kitchen, and the men bragging in the living room.

However, the Lingfeng family, which combines Chinese and Western, is a little special.

Their habit is that a family of three gets together and then works together to cook a big meal!

This is also the cultural heritage that Ling Feng's father brought from China.

As the saying goes, do it yourself!

Ling Shan has taught Ling Feng since he was a child to do his own things.

You can't rely on others for everything, you have to rely on yourself, and create wealth with your own hands!

Growing up in such a family education environment, surrounded by the strong love of his parents, Ling Feng felt that even if he didn't have his future soul to cross over, the original "Ling Feng" would definitely become a good person!

Soon, in its joyful cooking, the table was soon filled with sumptuous dishes.

Christmas Eve must-have roast turkey, hand-wrapped beef dumplings, steamed grouper, and more

Anyway, a table of dishes made Ling Feng couldn't help but swallow his saliva a few times.

It's so fragrant~~~

Strictly speaking, this was the first time that Ling Feng had spent Christmas Eve with his family after crossing over.

After taking their seats in turn and praying before their mother's meal, the three of them sharpened their knives and enjoyed the Christmas Eve meal!

While eating, Julia did not forget to open her mouth and care about her son's love life:

"Xiaofeng, how are you doing with that Barbara?"

"Huh? What progress? ”

"Don't play silly, I saw you kiss her after you scored. And the cover of the newspaper is all about her coming to your house for the night."

"When my son grows up, he will give girls flying kisses in front of so many people. It's a pity that my mother didn't have this kind of treatment."

Hearing this, meeting his mother's somewhat playful eyes, Ling Feng actually smelled a strong smell of vinegar.

And Ling Shan on the side was secretly snickering.

Sweat it out, boy.

Although I knew that Julia was joking.

However, Ling Feng still showed a flattering smile very cooperatively, and used the chopsticks in his hand to sandwich a piece of grouper belly, and then put it on his mother's plate opposite.

He knew that his mother loved to eat fish, especially fish belly.

"How so?"

With that, he immediately got up, walked to his mother across from him, and bent down to smack Julia's cheek hard.

"My dear mother, how can you doubt your son's love for you? It's so sad. ”

This bite directly made Julia smile.

"You guy, where did you learn this trick of making women happy?"

"No wonder that Barbara is so fascinated by you. By the way, when are you going to bring her back for a meal together? Let her try her mother's handiwork. ”

At this time, Ling Shan, who had been silently watching, couldn't help but ask:

"The child's affairs will be handled by the child himself. You're so enthusiastic, but you're going to scare away other girls."

"yes, I'll bring her back next time I have the chance."

Under the singing and harmony of the father and son, Julia did not continue to ask.

After all, Ling Feng is already an adult, and he has moved out independently.

Many things should be decided by the child himself

After a warm meal for a family of three, Ling Feng took the initiative to take on the "heavy responsibility" of washing dishes

After dinner, it's time to exchange Christmas presents.

In England, the royal family has the habit of exchanging Christmas gifts on the 24th.

Therefore, many English families choose to give gifts to each other on the night of the 24th, and then open the gifts.

The same is true for the Ling Feng family.

And Ling Feng's gift to his mother was the latest Gucci bag.

It is worth mentioning that this bag was bought by Barbara for him.

The gift to my father was a top-quality fishing rod worth over 10,000 pounds!

Ling Shan is a good man who takes care of his family very much.

Aside from going to work, my only hobby is fishing!

Every holiday or rest day, I will take my wife and children out for a picnic and then fishing.

Therefore, Ling Feng did what he liked and chose a fishing rod.

Sure enough, both of them were very happy to receive the gifts carefully selected by their sons.

The Christmas gift that his parents prepared for Ling Feng was a hand-knitted sweater and a pair of shin guards engraved with Ling Feng's head!

Both of these things fully express the love of his parents for him.

With Ling Feng becoming a hot star in the Premier League, the Ling family suddenly jumped from the middle class to the rich class.

However, there are many, too many things that can be bought with money.

However, you can never buy your parents' deep love for you!

After exchanging Christmas presents, the family of three huddled together on the sofa in the living room, intending to watch a movie together.

This is also the annual Christmas Eve event of the Ling Feng family.

And this year, they watched the most classic Christmas movie - "Love Actually"

And just when his parents were concentrating on watching the movie, Ling Feng took out his mobile phone and kept replying to text messages.

No way, as he made a name for himself in English football, he met more and more people in the industry and friends.

Since early in the morning, he has received Christmas Eve congratulations from many friends.

And just as Ling Feng replied one by one, he suddenly received a text message from Barbara!

However, unlike other congratulatory text messages, Barbara only sent him a photo:

I saw this Hungarian supermodel, holding a mobile phone and sitting in front of a full-length mirror.

And her whole body is wearing only a suspender Christmas red short dress!

Along with the selfie, she sent a provocative text:

"Does this outfit look good?"

Seeing this photo, Ling Feng almost didn't squirt out a nosebleed, and replied without hesitation:

"Good looking !!"

"Then I'll show you tomorrow?"

It was this sentence that made Ling toss and turn that night, and he couldn't sleep

Thank you all for your comfort and encouragement!

The gap in the strength of the team is too big, everyone is semi-professional, there are also Brazilian foreign aids, and there are even retired Chinese Super League stars.

It can't be helped, it's normal to lose.

The main thing is an experience, and after college, I haven't played an 11-a-side game again.

It's all about participation.
