There is a belief called football

Chapter 7 Let's learn to pass the ball first
Tianbao Football School practices 5 days a week and rests 1 day, and plays games on Sunday. They practice twice a day, morning and evening, and cultural courses in the afternoon.

After determining the main lineup, the biggest task for all the members of the Masai team is to prepare for the first game of the league next weekend.

Soon the opponent came out, Marseille VS Lille.

In the first two days of training, although the intensity was high, everyone was in high spirits and felt that everything around them was fresh, but after two days, many people felt boring and boring, because the training content was only jogging and juggling, and even passing was forbidden by "Stan".

The best player is Sandro, who can basically do more than 1000 times at a time. Li Qiao is not good in this aspect, and can only do dozens of times.

Li Qiao worked hard to practice juggling, and saw Coach Stan walking towards Sandro, handing him a tennis ball and saying, "You juggle this".

Sandro took the tennis ball and bounced it up, like a big ball, very stable, Li Qiao admired it in his heart, but it was also an encouragement.

Li Qiao worked very hard and had a good foundation. Every day after the students had a rest, he practiced by himself. In this way, after a week or so, Li Qiao's ball-juggling skills were already very good, with a few hundred ball-juggling skills at a time and it was already stable.

There are only two days until Sunday’s game. In the training session on Friday, Stan began to let everyone practice passing. Stan began to explain why he only practiced jumping the ball at the beginning, because jumping the ball is the best way to enhance the sense of the ball. If the ball feels good, any action will be better in the future. If the basic skills are not good, no matter whether it is passing or shooting, it is impossible.

"You guys try to pass the ball in pairs now," Stan arranged.

Li Qiao and Qi Bing started to pass the ball to each other at a distance of about 10 meters. Stan asked the ball to be passed close to the ground and not allowed to fly.

Li Qiao tried a few kicks, and felt that it was indeed different from before. In the past, he used the swing of his calf to pass the ball, but now he basically used the strength of his ankle. After passing the ball a few times, it was not only more accurate, but also not tiring.

Li Qiao was very happy, and felt that professional training was different.

"Stick to the ground, don't let the ball jump up," Stan yelled loudly.

After passing it on for about half an hour, Stan re-arranged: "Stand apart 20 meters from each other and continue the practice just now."

Everyone took a few steps back, and then continued to practice. The distance was far away, and Li Qiao was a little unable to pass the ball with the strength of his ankle, and then began to use the strength of his calf. Stan saw it and came over in time to point out Li Qiao's mistake, saying: "Use the strength of the ankle, and the swing of the calf should be as little as possible."

"But I don't feel strong enough."

Stan made a NO gesture and said, "It has to be this way."

Li Qiao nodded, but after doing this, his ankle felt very sore, like a lead weight was hanging on it.Obviously, the speed of passing the ball is very slow, basically rolling over slowly, Li Qiao thought to himself what is the use of such a passing speed?Even kindergarten kids can steal the ball easily.

"Coach is so tired," Qi Qi shouted at the side.

This time Stan was really angry, called Qi Qi out, and ordered Qi Qi to run around the track.

The rest of the people looked at the situation, and none of them dared to shout tired.

After another half an hour, Coach Stan asked everyone to rest for 10 minutes. Everyone saw that Qi Qi was still running laps, and no one dared to say anything. Everyone knows that football is a war in peacetime, and training cannot be sloppy.

After continuing to practice, Stan asked everyone to form a group of four, stand in a square, and pass the ball to each other. Li Qiao, Qi Bing, Du Fei, and Sun Si stood in four corners. Stan asked to pass along the diagonal. After 10 minutes of passing, Stan asked for another person to grab the ball in the middle, so Li Qiao's first team added a "Fang Ben".

Fangben was fast, and the passes of the four people were basically blocked. Stan came over and called for a stop, and then instructed the four people what to do.

So the four people began to think of a way. It would definitely not work in a straight line, and it would definitely not work if the speed was slow. So naturally, the four people began to pay attention to adding arcs and strength when they touched the ball.

This is the effect that Stan wants. He sets up difficult problems, lets the players think for themselves, and finally he guides them.

In the end, Stan arranged for everyone to start robbing practice. This is the last lesson of the day, and it is also the closest to actual combat. The rule is that 7 people form a circle, and one person in the middle will grab the ball.

This process was very relaxing, because there were more people, and it was not so boring. Stan watched from the sidelines. At this time, the person in the middle who grabbed the circle was Qi Qi. I saw that he couldn’t catch the circle after a long time. He was already tired and out of breath.When Qi Li heard it, he could use his hands, so a hungry tiger rushed to grab the "Fangben",
Fang Ben picked up the ball and passed it to Qi Bing, Qi Qi immediately turned around and rushed towards Qi Bing, Qi Bing passed the ball, and Qi Qi missed, and fell on his back.

Stan made a gesture to encourage Qi Qi to get up. At this time, the ball had reached Li Qiao's feet. Li Qiao was embarrassed to play Qi Qi, so he simply passed the ball, only to see that the ball reached Sandro's feet.

Sandro was sticky to the ball and didn't pass it out. Coach Stan hated this very much. It was not in line with Stan's football philosophy, so Stan shouted: "Break him".

When the coach opened his mouth, Qi Qi was full of confidence and rushed forward. Sandro observed the situation. He played too much just now and was far away from his teammates. At this time, the passing route was not good.

While passing the Qi rate, other people couldn't help applauding, including Stan's head coach. Although Stan is a person who does not advocate individual heroism and emphasizes team football, he has to admit that Sandro's strike just now is really beautiful.

But the Qi rate was different. After half a day of horse partying, I felt dissatisfied. Seeing that the coach was still applauding for Sandro, he suddenly shouted: "Coach Stan is here to grab the ring."

Everyone was stunned at first, but later they found it interesting. A few courageous ones followed suit and shouted. In the end, one, two, and three people finally shouted, "Coach Stan is here to grab the ring."

But everyone didn't mean to let the coach at all. Instead, they became more serious. Stan ran back and forth several times, and everyone walked Coach Stan a few times.

Stan is also very experienced. When the ball reaches Fang Ben, Li Qiao, Sandro and others, he only steps forward to force it, but does not try to grab it. Stan knows that the weakest point is the Qi rate, but the players are not stupid. They just don’t pass the ball to Qi rate. The result is a strange situation where 7 people pass, Stan grabs, and one person watches the performance.
"You pass the ball to me, even though I am a goalkeeper, I still need to practice my footwork",
At this time, the ball reached Li Qiao’s feet. Li Qiao thought it was just a game, and there was no need to be so serious, so he passed it to Qi Qi. As soon as Qi Qi got the ball, Stan saw the opportunity and immediately rushed forward. .

When everyone saw that the circle grab had turned into this, they were taken aback for a moment, but later thought it was too funny. At first, they stood by and watched, and then everyone joined in, and it turned into football.

After the fun, Coach Stan reorganized the team and talked about today's main points, "The most important thing in football is the team. The connection of the team is passing the ball. No matter how good the individual skills are, it is impossible to win the game." Everyone nodded after listening.

"The most basic level of passing is to pass the ball accurately, that is, to pass it to teammates. The second level is to pass the ball so that the player can hold it comfortably. If the teammate is uncomfortable holding the ball, then the accuracy of the pass will also fail. The third and highest level is to pass creativity and use the pass to mobilize teammates.

"My request to you now is to pass accurately, as long as the pass is passed to the feet of teammates."

"Today's training is over, what's the problem?"

Qi Bing asked: "Do you have anything to guide us in the game the day after tomorrow?"
"I have just said all that I need to guide you",
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking: "Did you tell me, did I lose my mind? Damn it."

Qi Qi said: "Coach, you just let us pass the ball today, but you didn't say a word about the game."

Coach Stan said with a smile: "Learn to pass the ball, you are a team, and you can play as a team."

Everyone didn't quite understand it, and thought to themselves: "It's so simple, do I still need to learn it for 5 years?"
Only Sandro basically understood what coach Stan said. Stan continued: "I will explain the specific tactical arrangement before the game. Now I have only one sentence to say, trust your teammates and pass the ball to your teammates."

"Today's training is over."

"Believe in your teammates, pass the ball to your friends", Li Qiao said these two words silently in his heart. Li Qiao used to think that football is Baggio, who is just passing people and shooting goals, but now many things have subverted Li Qiao's view of football. Li Qiao understands that he still has a lot to learn.Will you be stage fright?Can you score a goal yourself?
