Chapter 75 - Chapter 76 The rookie grows up while being abused

When the first team players in training saw Xiao Ming bringing a young player to them, they were not surprised. This was a normal thing in the football club. After just politely applauding Daniel and welcomed him, Daniel joined the first team training.

Daniel's luck is pretty good. In the past, the tradition of English clubs was that young players were responsible for shining shoes for old players. After Xiao Ming took over, a large number of old players in the club left, and the newly introduced players became the main players one after another. There was no reason to let the main players shine shoes for the substitute, so this tradition was basically in name only.

Since it was a training camp before the season, Leiden Oriental's training is basically based on accumulating physical fitness and cooperating with each other. Daniel's physical fitness is quite good, so he still seemed very relaxed in the first few days of training, and almost had the idea of ​​"the training of the first team is just like this."

But two days later, he immediately understood what a first-team and a professional player were.

When Xiao Ming announced that he would hold a team training match, Daniel, who was not afraid of tigers, was eager to try and hoped to enter the lineup of the game and show his abilities well.

During these days of training, Daniel felt that the team's full-backs were not as good as they were...

Daniel is quite confident in his physical fitness, positioning ability and speed. At the same time, since he played against wingers and wingers when he started playing football, he also has a certain offensive ability. He trained extremely hard last year and his status in Coffhouse's mind rose like a rocket. He was young, confident and fearless.

Maybe it was because he noticed Daniel's eagerness to try, or maybe because the substitute lineup lacked a right back, Xiao Ming put Daniel into the substitute lineup during the grouping, serving as the right back, and formed the substitute defense line with Otno, Hiller, Annan and substitute goalkeeper Cadwell.

Facing the main lineup, the substitute's fighting spirit should be higher. If you can defeat the main lineup, it is also for your chance to play in the new season.

The substitute kicked the ball first. After an offense failed, the main side quickly launched a counterattack. Barack got the ball in the middle and distributed it to Jinklaze.

The two of them cooperated quite a lot last season, and Jinklaze's breakthrough on the left was also a very efficient means for Leiden East's offense.

"New boy, let me test your quality." Jin Kraze thought to himself. He didn't know why the boss told him to test the level of this new young player before the game, but he was happy to do so.

Looking at the team's assists king last season, the absolute main force who broke through the most opponents in each game was rushing towards him, but Daniel didn't feel any fear, and went straight to meet him, and then stopped cautiously when he was one meter away from Jinklaze.

"The position is stuck pretty well." Jin Kraze exclaimed in his heart, but his feet were not slow at all. When he was about to approach Daniel, he dunked the ball into the middle with his right foot and planned to cross over Daniel.

Daniel reacted slowly, and immediately stepped forward and immediately tackled while blocking Jinklaze's forward route, which was very decisive.

Unfortunately, he was not facing an ordinary wing assaulter, but a skillful genius like Jin Kraze!

Daniel turned around quickly and stepped down quickly, but Jinklaze's breakthrough direction at the beginning was not the middle lane.

Just as Daniel's foot was shoveling down, Jinklaze just pulled the ball a little and stopped the ball, then easily pulled the ball in the opposite direction, dodged Daniel's defense range, then quickly drove the ball forward, and broke through from Daniel, who had already fallen to the ground and had no ability to resist.

Looking at Jinklaze's back as he was leaving, Daniel slapped the lawn hard: "Damn, I shouldn't have been so hard... Otherwise I wouldn't have been so easily shaken!" He felt that Jinklaze's movement speed was not very fast. If he hadn't had a tackle, even if he was fooled, he would have had time to react.

The second time, Jinklaze used the same trick again to drive the ball to the middle, which attracted Daniel to dig the ball back when he was about to break the ball. This time, Daniel was not fooled, but turned around to defend Jinklaze again. However, Jinklaze made another fake move this time. After half of the ball was called back, he pulled the ball back and rushed over from the route of the first breakthrough. When Daniel was about to turn around, he mixed garlic under his feet and was shaken to the ground again.

The third time...the fourth time...

The training matches in Leiden Oriental are naturally not like those in the official game, and the first and second half are 45 minutes each, but only half an hour is left. As a result, within this half hour, Daniel was teased by Jin Clarze in various extraordinary ways. After only half an hour, Daniel was already sweating all over and had a heavy breath.

The other defenders showed an unbearable look when they saw Daniel's appearance - it was too cruel, it was too cruel!

But Xiao Ming doesn't think so. Is it cruel? Not cruel! Then be a little cruel-

"Daniel, you can switch to the left-back position in the second half." Xiao Ming re-arranged the tactics during the half-time break.

Daniel was not convinced and was swept by Jin Kraze so many times, but since Xiao Ming had already made such arrangements, he could only obey, so he planned to spread all this energy on the next target.

Unfortunately, this time his opponent is Pobosky...

Compared with Jin Kraze's excellent personal skills, Pobosky does not have so many tricks. His breakthrough is more due to his speed and ability to change directions quickly. Daniel's speed is not slow. When Pobosky sprints with all his might, he could barely keep up, but when Pobosky's sudden stop and turn around during the running made him suffer a lot again and again.

To prevent his sudden stop and change direction, the speed would be a little too late. Go after him with all your heart, and run over the head at any time. After the thirty minutes of the game, Daniel felt that he was even more tired than a day of training. This kind of fatigue was not only physical but also psychological.

"Is this the level of professional football?" Daniel thought in despair. He didn't think it was very outstanding when watching the first team play, but now...

Of course, Xiao Ming did not have a grudge against Daniel. In fact, seeing Daniel's unyielding performance, he began to admire this young man more and more.

"Rookies always have to grow up in being abused..."

When Daniel returned home, he lay directly on the bed, not even trying to move.

His physical fitness was quite excellent, but during this afternoon's training, he was first shaken by Jinklaze using various means, and then was exhausted by Pobosky's excellent speed and rapid stops and directions. He was simply abused one after another. If Daniel had not been determined, he might have collapsed directly.

However, despite being exhausted, the thoughts that surged in Daniel's mind were not discouraged, but a sense of ruthlessness: "Now I finally realized what professional players look like... But they are just English League Two players, as well as English League One, Premier League and Champions League outstanding players... What will they look like? I really look forward to being able to fight them one day."

The ignorant is fearless, but after knowing the gap, he still doesn't feel any fear. Instead, he must strive to get ahead. At least he will not just go on in a daze, right?

Just as he took a breath on the bed, Lao Sun's loud voice rang outside: "Daniel, Daniel... Are you back? Help deliver a quick meal to your chairman and send it to his house!"

"I know, Daddy." Daniel replied lazily, then got up from the bed and walked out with stiff steps.

"What's wrong with you today? Are you very tired in training? Go on a bicycle." Lao Sun looked at his son and said with concern.

"It's okay, the training is just a little tiring." Daniel had already told his family that he had already entered the first team training, so now Lao Sun basically didn't ask his son to deliver food, but to deliver food to Xiao Ming, Lao Sun thought this was also a good opportunity.

Riding a bicycle, Daniel rode to Xiao Ming's house like a flying one. After ringing the doorbell, Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I heard that you no longer deliver food. Why did you deliver it today?"

"The Chinese restaurant is very busy today, so I'll help." Daniel replied.

"Okay, come in first." Xiao Ming let Daniel into the living room. Seeing Daniel pick up two plates of dishes and a bowl of soup from the food box, Xiao Ming smiled: "You are also a professional player now... Do you think it's a bit embarrassing to do food delivery?"

Daniel stopped the work, thought for a while, and replied, "It's okay, I did this since I was a child, working for my daddy while playing football... Besides, I'm not a professional player now, I'm just joining the first team."

"You didn't seem to be doing well in today's training competition." Xiao Ming changed the topic: "How is it, how do you feel?"

"They are so amazing, but I'm younger than them, so I will definitely be able to defend them in the future... But will the boss, in the League One and Premier League, have there any better players than them? Their level is several levels higher than the youth team! But they are just players in the League Two... So what level will the League One and Premier League players be? I can't imagine..." Daniel said with a little fascination.

"Haha." Xiao Ming almost squirted out after just taking a sip of the soup: "Do you think they are just English League Two? Do you think all English League Two are like this? What a joke, there will be no fewer wing players at the same level as them, but there will definitely not be many..."

However, he didn't say these words, and Daniel seemed to have not lost confidence, so he swallowed the soup in his mouth and encouraged him, "Take it slow, after all, you are only seventeen years old and will always grow up in the future... You are playing right back, will you be uncomfortable with playing left back?"

"Nothing is not unacceptable." Daniel shook his head: "I feel like the same as playing these two positions."

"Very good." Xiao Ming nodded: "As a young player, it is very important to be able to show his strength in multiple positions... Daniel, I'm going to say that in the new season, you may have many opportunities to enter the bench, but you may not be able to become the main force quickly. Entering the first team does not mean that there will be games to play, you must be mentally prepared for this."

Daniel nodded. After thinking that players like Jinklaze and Pobosky are in the League Two, he naturally thinks that he can only start from the substitute now...

The recruits mature in death, and the rookie grows in abuse. Although Daniel misjudged the average level of those professional players, it is precisely because of his high vision and far-reaching goals that in the next period of time, he grew much faster than before...

Time flies. Before the start of the League Two, as the only team in the League Two with six non-British or Irish players, Leiden Oriental has also received a lot of attention. Now that the League One team is basically dominated by local players in England, Leiden Oriental, which has six foreign players, Barack, Jinklaze, Poboski, Jankoler, Stam and Solskjaer, is already an absolute international column.

At all times, things are rare and valuable. In the other three professional leagues except the Premier League, almost 99% are from the British Isles and Ireland players, it is naturally very eye-catching that there are almost one-quarter of the players who are foreigners. Moreover, there are two international players, so despite being promoted, the media also pays great attention to them. In the evaluation before the start of the season, Leiden Oriental's possibility of advancing ranks below two relegated teams in the English League One, Swindon and Plymouth, ranking third in the English League Two - for a newly promoted team, this evaluation is already quite high.

Xiao Ming disagreed with this. Now all the six foreign players of Leiden Oriental are world-class players in the future, and this lineup can only rank third? What a joke! In Xiao Ming's view, Leiden Oriental's goal this season is not just to advance, but to achieve better results than last season in the League Cup or FA Cup matches, which is considered a success!
