Chapter 3 Strong Learning Ability(1/2)
Frederick Antonio Germano Menzen - This is the training ground name of the Sao Paulo Football Club. Because it is too long, everyone doesn't call it that way. Just as Brazilians are used to nicknames, they are also used to giving abbreviation of the training base.
This training base, which was completed in September 1988, is located in the Bravoda district of Sao Paulo, so everyone basically uses the "Bravoda Training Base" as the abbreviation. Whether it is for fans, media reporters and Sao Paulo players themselves, this title is used.
The Brafonda Training Base is a very modern base with three standard-sized training grounds, a court with stands, which can accommodate 4,000 people to watch the game in the stands. The stadium has two locker rooms for players and two referees' locker rooms.
In addition to the administrative building with training facilities such as gym, physiotherapy room and news area, there is also a place for players to stay. The first floor is a large restaurant for all staff at the training base, and the second floor is sixteen standard double bedrooms, as well as a game room, billiards room and audio-visual room for players to entertain.
There are three training grounds, one of which is specially designed for youth team training.
The St. Paul's Under-18 youth team is here to train.
Rongguang was wearing the jerseys and training suits of the St. Paul Youth Team. Standing on the training ground, the red vest and big yellow shorts he wore during the trial were gone. He was not clamped toe, but a pair of black football shoes. This time it was a size suitable for his feet and would not squeeze his feet.
Just looking at his appearance on the training ground, it really makes people feel that he is a qualified football player. Although he is still a little thin... But there are also many players in Brazil who look very thin due to malnutrition, so it is not too out of line.
In front of Glory, there are players of the St. Paul youth team standing in two rows, and they are about to become teammates of Glory.
Youth team coach Vardma de Oliveira stood next to Rongguang and introduced to the players opposite: "Rong, Guangrong, the young man from China will be your teammates."
He did not introduce it.
In fact, everyone knows Rongguang because his performance in the trial was too outstanding.
His speed is impressive and I can't forget it even if I want to.
"Everyone knows that Rong is a beginner, and he cannot practice with us. He must do basic practice. So who would like to help him in this regard?" asked Valdema.
No one said anything.
Everyone knows that helping Rongguang practice basics means that they need to reduce their training time. Everyone is a youth team player and wants to be promoted to the first team. There are competitions in secret, and no one wants to reduce their training time for others.
At this moment, someone in the team suddenly raised his hand: "I'll do it, I like to help newcomers the most, and this kind of thing is definitely unshirkable!"
Someone heard this voice and complained in his heart: "That guy Lucas is going to take the opportunity to be lazy again..."
Amid everyone's thoughts, Lucas Sutton stood out from the team.
How could Valdema not know Lucas Sutton's intentions?
But he didn't stop Lucas.
Lucas Sutton is an outlier in the St. Paul youth team. He is not serious in training, has no outstanding talent, and his technical ability is inferior to the middle of the team and has no special skills. Many people are not optimistic about his progress in professional football. It is estimated that when he can sign a professional contract at the age of 18, he will be kicked out.
He could not have a place in Brazil's professional football.
Perhaps because of this reason, he became more lazy in training.
Valdema was too lazy to care about him - he had been careless before, but it was useless.
"Okay, you'll teach Rong basic practice, start by getting to know the ball with the ball."
It was a helpless move for Valdema to let the youth team players teach Glory. It was originally better to go to a lower-level team at the level of Glory and could conduct basic training. But he was older, so he could only come to the youth team under the age of 18, which is where players over the age of 16 and under the age of 18.
The youth team under the age of 18 does not have so many trainers, so it is impossible to find someone to teach the most basic things of Glory. They had to find a player to play the temporary coach.
Lucas Sutton happily accepted the task given to him by the coach and walked to the front of Glory: "Hi, my name is Lucas, are you really Chinese? Are Chinese girls all very beautiful? Do you think they like handsome mixed-race guys like me?"
He pointed his thumb at himself. He was not black or white. He had a skin tone that combined two colors of people. The skin color was like the wheat color that was sunk in the sun for a summer. It looked very healthy and strong. Anyway, it looked stronger than Rong Guang now, with clear facial features and clear contours, but the eyes were a little smaller, which was the only flaw.
When he narrows his eyes, he will give people the idea of not knowing what bad idea he is making.
"Uh..." Rongguang didn't know how to answer the question of this enthusiastic teammate.
"Lucas!" Vardma shouted.
Lucas stuck out his tongue with his back to Valdema, and then said to Rongguang: "Okay, okay, let's go there to train." After that, he hugged Rongguang's neck and led him to the corner of the training ground.
"Lucas, if you are lazy, I will punish you to stay and run twenty laps after the training!" Vardma shouted behind him.
"Yes, sir!" Lucas's expression changed when he heard that he was going to run away, and he quickly raised his chest and replied loudly.
※※※
The sword of Damocles, who ran twenty laps, hung above Lucas Sutton's head, but he still dared not neglect.
From the beginning of the warm-up, he taught glory very seriously.
After Rongguang knew how to warm up correctly, he began to teach Rongguang to flick the ball.
Whether it is playing football or basketball, it is very important to be familiar with the ball.
When playing basketball, you use your hands to control the ball, which is relatively easier to control. When playing football, your feet will definitely not be flexible, so you need to be more familiar with the ball nature.
Only by being familiar with the ball nature can you make good ball control in the game.
The easiest, most commonly used and most effective way to get familiar with the ball is to get the ball. If a professional player can't even get the ball well, his basic skills must be bad and he will not achieve any great achievements.
This is something players should know, but Glory is not a player...he is a layman.
When he heard that he was learning to get the ball, he seemed a little surprised: "Isn't it a shot? I heard from Godo that shooting is the most powerful in football games!"
When Lucas heard what a layman said as a layman, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"You haven't even learned to leave, but you just want to run away? You haven't even laid a good foundation, so you can't shoot well!" He put his hands on his hips and showed the majesty of a teacher.
"Then when will I play in the game..." Rongguang was very disappointed. Even if he was an amateur, he knew that he would not make money if he couldn't play in the game. He wanted to participate in the game tomorrow, and then succeed and return home in glory...
"What do you think about? Playing a game? Do you know the rules of football? Do you know what to do after playing? Stop talking nonsense and learn the basics with me!"
Then Lucas ignored Glory's disappointed eyes and began to give Glory the purpose and importance of practicing to pull the ball.
"...In the process of slamming the ball, you will master the temper of the football, learn how to control the football, how much strength you use, and what is the difference between different parts of the ball touching the ball. When you are very skilled, every part of your body can be used to control the ball. And it will be difficult for the opponent to break the football you control. For example, this is the case."
After talking about the importance of basic practice of getting the ball, Lucas picked up the football, first used his instep to push the football upwards, and then used his thighs to jump back and forth between his legs and feet, Rong Guang was stunned.
Finally, he picked up the football. When the football was about to land, he suddenly picked up the football with his left toe. This time he used a little more force. The football flew up from Rong Guang, then passed over his head and went straight behind him!
"It's hard for you to break..." Lucas said as he planned to go around Glory to catch the ball.
But before he finished speaking, he had just started, and saw Glory jumping high, stretching out his arm to pick the football in the air... directly off!
He raised his hands up, snatching the football in the air like a rebound!
He looked at Lucas with the glory of football: "It seems nothing great, Lucas, look at me, it's broken!"
Seeing the smug glory, Lucas couldn't help but yell: "Football is not allowed to be used, idiot!" After yelling, he covered his face with his hands - there are really new people...
"Football, football is the football that is kicked with your feet! You are not allowed to use your hands in football games unless you are a goalkeeper! Do you want to play the goalkeeper?" Lucas asked.
Rongguang asked: "Does the goalkeeper make a lot of money?" He only cares about money. He comes to play football not because he likes football, but because Godo said that he can make a lot of money after becoming a professional player, and the more he can do is beyond his imagination.
"Of course there are not many forwards! The most profitable ones are the forwards, because they are the most popular! For example, Lucas is an excellent forward!" Lucas pointed at himself with a thumb, very proud.
He is not good enough in front of other youth team players, but he can still be majestic in front of the newcomer Rongguang.
"Then I want to be a forward too!" If I knew that the forward was the most profitable during the trial, Rongguang would definitely tell Leko that his position on the field was a forward without hesitation...
Lucas glanced at Rongguang: "You? Practice your basics first, novices."
"Is the foundation of the ball just to pull the ball?" Rong Guang asked.
"It's just one of them," Lucas replied. "But if you can't even get the ball, then you don't even think about becoming a professional player!"
"What are you waiting for? Let's start practicing!" Glory was full of fighting spirit.
※※※
Lucas re-expressed the ball and then took apart the steps and explained them to Rongguang.
Rongguang listened very seriously throughout the whole process.
His eyes were always staring at Lucas' left foot, seeing how he exerted force and when he exerted force.
After finishing his talk, Lucas asked Rongguang: "Do you understand?"
Rongguang said: "It seems like you are playing shuttlecock..."
"Kicking shuttlecock? What is that?" Lucas didn't understand. "You try to shake it yourself first."
He kicked football to glory.
Rong Guang remembered that Lucas picked up the football directly from the ground.
He wanted to learn with confidence, but he didn't pick up the football, but kicked the football into Lucas' thigh, almost hitting the big Lucas's key!
"Wow! Fortunately, I flashed fast! Otherwise, my happiness in this life would be ruined by you!" Lucas was still in shock.
"Ah... Sorry! Sorry!"
Lucas glared at him: "Beginners, don't learn such high-end skills as me. Be honest, pick up the football, then throw it gently, and use the right instep to push it!" He demonstrated to Rongguang.
Glory can finally start to slam the ball.
But it is not surprising at all that kicking the ball and kicking the shuttlecock are actually different. When the football falls, he wants to hook the football back with his toes to make the football roll in the air, just like kicking the shuttlecock.
But the football he hooked hit him directly hit his own face!
Bang!
A muffled sound was made.
"Puff!" Seeing this scene, Lucas couldn't help laughing. "Ah haha! What are you doing? Haha! Idiot! Don't use your toes to bump the ball! Use your instep to tie your shoelaces, don't be too far forward or too far behind... Haha! Otherwise, it's like you are now! Hahaha!"
He smiled and explained to Rongguang what was wrong.
To be continued...
