Chapter 4
Training officially begins
The first was Team A's forward Lawson Charles. He rushed up from the left and kicked a long shot. The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal. Zhou Liran judged the direction and jumped up, easily catching the ball in his arms.
About fifteen seconds later, Team B's forward Gardner Garcia launched a second attack towards the goal from the right side. Zhou Liran hurriedly threw the football in his hand and strode to the other side of the goal. He jumped up with his eyes fixed on the position of the football and touched the football with his hand when it was still flying into the dead corner.
Zhou Liran was very familiar with the following procedure. The football would go straight into his arms and he only needed to hold the football - huh? !
Zhou Liran opened his eyes wide and watched the football hit his face and bounce away.
"Great! Ritter!" Ben Valen clapped his hands vigorously, strode up to Zhou Liran and patted him on the shoulder, "Not bad, not bad, you just need to maintain your current state. You successfully completed this training within 15 seconds, you have broken the team record!
"I seem to see a goalkeeper who will win the Yashin Award in the future standing in front of me and playing for my team!"
The feeling of being hit in the face by a football was not pleasant. It took Zhou Liran several seconds to react before he raised his head and looked at the coach who was standing in front of him.
"Hey, were you stunned just now?" Ben Valen said this after staring at Zhou Liran's face for a second. It didn't seem like he suddenly reacted, but rather that he had planned to say this.
"Look at you. You should have jumped a little higher just now. This way you could have hugged the football instead of getting hit in the face. So, let's do it again and try not to get hit in the face by the football. Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay," Zhou Liran nodded gently, and then continued: "But coach, I want to rest for a few minutes. I was hit a little hard just now, and my head is buzzing all the time."
"Sure, no problem. You can rest for a while," Ben Valen nodded immediately in agreement. "I'll have someone get you another bottle of water."
"Okay, thank you, coach."
Zhou Liran reached out and pressed his eyebrows, then walked to the goal, leaned against the pole, and slowly closed his eyes.
'System, what happened just now? Why did that football hit me directly in the face? '
'say. '
[Host, can I speak now? 】
'explain. '
[Ding~ Now it’s time to answer questions! 】
[After binding with a love partner, you need to use the SSR-level card "Telepathy" to bind a love partner again so that the love partners can recognize each other's existence. 】
[If the love object bound later does not recognize the love object bound before the host, then the love object bound later will attack the host in a non-calm state by acting coquettishly. After calming down after acting coquettishly, it will feel embarrassed for its previous behavior, so it will directly escape from the host. 】
[In order to better protect the host, the system assumes that this attack will only cause pain to the host, but will not harm the host's body]
[Ding Ding~]
[Friendly reminder, this is a prerequisite for unlocking the "She runs away, he chases, she can't escape even if she has wings" achievement! 】
If he wasn’t wearing gloves, Zhou Liran would have wanted to cover his face with his hands and sigh: What is this? What is going on? ah? !
"So," Zhou Liran regained his sanity with great difficulty, "how can I get the telepathic card? '
[The host needs to complete the system tasks to get points and then redeem them in the points mall]
[But the love object you are currently bound to is a non-living being. He has no mind, so you cannot use the "Telepathy" card. 】
Zhou Liran: ...
Silence was the tone at Cobham training ground tonight.
【Host? Host? Do I need to bind a human love object? Now binding can be accompanied by a lucky draw gift package...】
'From now on you are not allowed to speak without my permission. '
[Okay, host]
"Ritter, come here, I'll hold the bottle for you and you just tilt your head back and drink the water."
Zhou Liran opened his eyes and looked at the smiling coach in front of him, and nodded softly.
Coach Ben Watt is actually an adult male with very stable emotions. When he meets a very talented player, he will praise him lavishly, and will also make requests and suggestions in a roundabout way, making sure that the talented player feels his deep care and love.
When the team wins, he is not stingy with his praise. Similarly, when the team loses, he does not waste his talent for cursing.
Coach Ben Watt is, to a certain extent, the kind of adult male that Zhou Liran wanted to be in his previous life. He has sharp edges but is also smooth, and he can hold himself up high but also hold his head down. He never piles up yesterday's things until the next day. No matter how badly he lost yesterday's game, he will never mention it the next day. Instead, he will start over, analyze the reasons for his mistakes, and strive to win the next game.
However, this almost perfect male image in Zhou Liran's eyes is actually a synonym for tyrant in the eyes of players other than Zhou Liran. There is no other reason, it's simply because Chelsea U18 lost too many times, making the coach seem to be angry and scolding all the time. The occasional compliments and praises became a "hypocritical smile" in the eyes of the players. He was deliberately smiling so happily and waiting for you to make a mistake and then scolding you.
Although Coach Ben has never done this before, teenagers aged 15, 16 or 17 are the best at making associations.
Just like now, the other players on the court did not envy how lucky Zhou Liran was to be fed water by the head coach himself, but their expressions were surprised and distorted: Endrit is so amazing, he actually dared to let the head coach personally feed him water! Endrit is worthy of his reputation as the one who dared to ask the coach whether he would have a day off tomorrow even when the coach was furious. This is really amazing!
The "tough guy" Endrit was hit dizzy by the "coquettish" football in the next training. The banging sound after being hit in the face made Ben Watt, who was eager to speed up the training to see if Zhou Liran really got it, stop the training on his own initiative and let Zhou Liran take a rest and continue training tomorrow morning.
Zhou Liran did not refuse. After walking out of the goal, he sat directly on the lawn, took off his gloves and put them aside. Then he reached out to smooth down his hair on his forehead and looked up at the sky.
The sky is still blue, but the white clouds are dyed red by the setting sun. Clusters of white clouds are crowded together, giving the originally blue sky a layer of red.
Zhou Liran fell on his back, silently calculating the data just tested in his mind.
It is known that the "emotions" of the football that was first tied to his romantic relationship have always been very stable, and he has not shown any signs of being "jealous". No matter where he is kicked by the opposing striker, as long as he touches it, it will "throw itself into his arms".
The second football that was in a romantic relationship with him had also been very stable in its "emotions". It had been "acting coquettishly" all the time and had never stopped. Every time it touched him, it would hit him, and then bounce out with "regret", away from the goal where he was.
But there are many situations in which this "smash" occurs. If it is a lob shot, that is, the football flies high and Zhou Liran cannot jump that high and can only touch the football with his fingers, then the ball will definitely hit him in the face.
If it is a ground ball, or the football is flying at a relatively low altitude, then the football will be aimed at your calves and chin. Of course, if Zhou Liran had been able to react in time and fall down to hold the football under his body, the terrifying situation of the football flying up and hitting him on the chin would not have happened.
In other words, the concept of the football hitting him and the concept of the football falling into his arms are actually based on one premise: he really touches the football and will give the football a force to change the direction of the football.
Very scientific, very reasonable, very, very painful...
"hiss……"
He really wanted to quit, but thinking about it carefully, he couldn't really quit. He might even have to establish a new relationship with football later...
[Ding ding ding!] 】
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement "I just loved them/them/them for a short while" and getting ten points! 】
Zhou Liran:?
