Chapter 232 Wonderful Shooting Performance
It had been three days since the match with Paris Saint-Germain, that is, on September 18th. That morning, Wang woke up from his gentle sleep, and looking at the gentle girl lying on the bed, his heart was filled with warmth and nostalgia. However, he still forced himself to get up early, and after eating the breakfast made by Diana, he walked out of the house.
It was a rainy day in London in mid-September, and the small road next to Stamford Bridge was not very flat, which resulted in puddles all over the road. Although cleaners came to clean it every day, it was impossible to clean it up at this time.
Although the road did not look comfortable, Wang Li did not choose to ride a bicycle. Instead, he rolled up his trouser legs and ran to the stadium alone.
This was the first time he got up so early in the past few days. Ever since Angela moved in with him, Wang Li was often lazy in the mornings, and even his inner strength training was delayed. Fortunately, his progress in training now depended entirely on the accumulation of time. However, little by little, a lot does add up. If he wanted to improve his inner strength, he still had to work hard every day. He was very clear about this.
After running four or five kilometers, Wang Li felt that his joints and muscles were full of vitality, and the internal force in his body meridians was also much more active. This feeling of full strength was very comfortable. After he walked into the first-team training ground, he asked the stadium staff to help him line up a dozen footballs in front of the goal, and then started to practice free kicks.
Head coach Mourinho did not restrict the players to do any exercises. For these big-name stars, each person has different characteristics. In addition to the necessary physical training, they have to rely on themselves to improve their abilities. Of course, the club still has various professional coaches, such as physical coaches, free kick coaches, professional goalkeeper coaches, etc. If you have any questions, you can consult them.
At this time, there were already many fans watching next to the stadium. It was the first time in these days that they saw Wang Li come to the stadium so early, and they all watched him train seriously.
Wang Li is still doing free kick arc shot training. This way of scoring a goal with a free kick is indeed very threatening, and he firmly believes that he can improve this ability.
Leg swing, run-up, shoot
It was a very simple method. Wang Li shot more than a dozen balls into the goal frame in a light manner, but the accuracy was not as good as his powerful volley. It was the first time for the fans watching to see Wang Li doing this kind of exercise, and they all started discussing it excitedly.
After doing this for a few times, Wang Li felt very bored. He found that although his accuracy had greatly improved through continuous practice, it was still not as good as he wanted. He only kicked better at the fixed point 30 meters on the left.
At this time, several first-team teammates had already arrived at the stadium. They walked up to Wang Li and started chatting and laughing. While the staff were arranging the footballs, Wang Li also chatted with them for a while, and then started shooting at the arranged footballs.
This time, he volleyed it with great force.
Wang Li felt very happy after several powerful shots. Only this kind of collision that hits the real target can make people more excited. However, this kind of shooting was too easy for him. After a few random kicks, he felt bored. So he started to kick the ball deliberately towards the crossbar.
Run-up, Shooting
With a "clang" sound, the football hit the crossbar accurately and bounced out of the bottom line.
"Haha, Alan, you make mistakes sometimes too," Bridget, who was standing next to him, laughed immediately when he saw the ball hit the crossbar.
"Wayne, you just enjoy other people's misfortune." Lampard also joined in the fun.
Wang Li turned around and chuckled, saying, "I did it on purpose."
"Don't make excuses, a mistake is a mistake."
Wang Li ignored Bridge and continued to kick the next ball. With a 'dong' sound, the football flew almost straight towards the goal. With a 'clang' sound, it hit the crossbar and bounced directly back to Wang Li's feet.
"Alan, what else do you have to say this time?" Bridget began to mock again, "Did Angela make you weak last night?"
"You are jealous, right? Furtado hasn't come to London yet," Wang Li said, kicking the third ball and saying, "It only leaves a sad boy lonely at night."
"Ding" the ball still hit the crossbar and bounced directly onto the grass, then bounced several times in a row before stopping next time.
This time, not to mention Bridge, even the surrounding fans were excited. These were three consecutive crossbar shots. If it wasn't because of good luck, it must have been done on purpose. How could this kind of kick not make people excited?
"Alan, one more!"
"It's the crossbar again. Kick it again. I'll record it with a DV."
…
At this time, the fans remembered to record this scene. This is definitely a classic shot. You know, when Ronaldinho joined Barcelona two years ago, he hit the crossbar three times in a row, which made the Spanish media hype it for more than a week. All of Europe knew that they were showing off, but they did have the ability.
If Wang Li can create a record of four consecutive shots hitting the goal post, it will be the pride of English football.
"Alan, kick another one, I bet you won't be able to score. The bet is tonight's dinner. Oh, you can also ask Angela to come." Bridge said happily, but it was not difficult to tell from his expression that he was full of jealousy when he said this.
"Add me in, I bet Alan can succeed." Lampard also joined in.
Wang Li turned his head to look at Bridget and said disdainfully: "Wayne, don't forget, when we were in Paris, you said you would treat me to 10 big meals."
"10 times?" Bridget was shocked. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I, Wayne Bridget, always keep my word."
"All right."
Wang Li chuckled, then walked towards the next ball, slowly took two steps, looked up at the opposite goal, and kicked the bottom of the football without stopping.
"Swish", the football flew into the net along the lower corner of the crossbar, but the ball also touched the crossbar.
Lampard also joked to Bridge with a happy face: "I'll treat you tonight."
"Fuck Alan, are you still a human being? Did Angela give you a vitality drug?" Bridget looked distressed.
However, Bridget flashed a sly smile, ran to the backpack beside the court, took out the DV, pointed the camera at Wang Li, and said, "Alan, kick a few more, this will definitely sell for a lot of money, enough to pay for dinner tonight."
"F*ck." Wang Li blurted out a Chinese curse when he heard it, "Do you think I'm a clown actor?"
At this time, the fans outside the stadium shouted again:
"Alan, one more!"
"come on"
…
Such exciting training footage is not often seen and can be compared to top football performances. The fans watching will not miss this opportunity.
Wang Li turned his head to look at the fans on the sidelines, raised his hand and waved at them twice, and then started kicking the ball.
The final result was that he kicked the ball fifteen times in a row, and eleven of them hit the goal post. This magical accuracy made everyone excited. Even Lampard was very jealous of this kind of footwork. What Bridge thought was that if this original video was sold to the media, it would definitely sell for a lot of money---
At least enough to pay for ten meals.
"I'll treat the whole team tonight. Please come, and you can bring your family members." Bridget was in a good mood and was rarely generous.
However, Carvalho, who had just arrived at the stadium, hit him hard with one sentence, "Tomorrow is a game day, Wayne, you don't want the boss to suspend you from the team, do you?"
“No drinking, just eating.”
"Then you should invite Alan alone. He is the only one interested in this kind of party."
While they were talking, Chelsea teammates also came to the stadium one after another. In the club, head coach Mourinho basically spends most of his time in the room studying tactical countermeasures, and the daily training is led by assistant coach Clark. Only when Mourinho develops new tactics will he stay on the court and watch the players' training.
Recently, the atmosphere in the team has been very good and the training ground has been full of laughter.
Of course, there are some unsatisfactory factors. For example, in yesterday's training match, Arjen Robben sprained his foot. The team doctor said that he needs to rest for at least half a month. This is definitely not good news for the Dutch boy who has just gained a half-main position in the team.
In the past few days, Mourinho has been discussing the issue of rotation of the lineup with the team doctors. Although this season has just started and most players do not have any physical or injury problems, Chelsea, which is facing multiple fronts, has to consider this issue. In Mourinho's heart, of course, he hopes that this problem will not occur throughout the season, but obviously this idea is unrealistic.
Physical fitness and injuries have always been problems that have to be faced in the field of football, especially for Premier League teams.
On average, in a standard Premier League team, at least half of the players will be out for weeks or even months due to physical fitness and injuries during a season. This also means that few teams can field a complete starting lineup in the Champions League final or the final stage of the league.
"It would be nice if everyone was Allen," Mourinho couldn't help but think.
Now, through observation and scientific methods, he has a very good understanding of Wang Li's physical fitness and condition. It can be said that Wang Li is basically a perpetual motion machine.
Even without talking about physical fitness, in the final minutes of the game against Paris Saint-Germain, many defenders of the opposing team tackled Wang Li without any scruples, but they did not cause even a little harm to Wang Li. If they wanted to hit him, they had to use the pulling tactic. This kind of evasive ability is definitely not something that ordinary players can possess.
Of course, physical fitness and injury issues are things that a club needs to consider throughout the season, and it is not something that Mourinho can perfectly solve in a few days. What Chelsea will face now is the sixth round of the Premier League tomorrow.
Middlesbrough VS Chelsea
In fact, in the mind of the "madman", he does not attach great importance to this game. Although Middlesbrough is also a strong team in the Premier League, it is unlikely to shake the big tree of Chelsea, so Mourinho did not worry too much about it. Moreover, if the team draws or even loses in this game, perhaps it will be beneficial to the entire team's operation throughout the year. At least it can remind these players not to be arrogant.
What Mourinho values most is of course the Premier League focus battle on September 25, the home game against Liverpool.
Although it is the same round of the Premier League, and the victory also gets 3 points, Liverpool is a traditional giant team. Beating Liverpool and defeating Middlesbrough have completely different meanings. This will also give Chelsea strong confidence, which will be very helpful for the rest of the season.
But no matter what, Mourinho still has to study tomorrow's tactics first. Even for the players' bonuses, he must strive for victory. Thinking of this, he smiled with relief in his heart---
“It just feels different to have a rich boss.”
Yes, the bonus promised by Mr. Abramovich has given Chelsea's players great motivation. As long as they continue to win, each player's income will be doubled, which is not a small amount. Therefore, they are very dedicated in every Premier League game. Mourinho even worries that if there is no bonus one day, these players will lose the motivation to win...
………
Middlesbrough is a traditional Premier League powerhouse. Although they have not won any honors worthy of recognition in history, the team is still very strong now. Such a strong team is likely to defeat the giants. All teams that play against Middlesbrough have to carefully study the team's recent performance before the game.
Now, the young Steve McClaren has become one of the most prestigious English football coaches. According to the media, he is likely to replace Eriksson as the head coach of the Three Lions.
McClaren has achieved this success, largely due to his experience as an assistant coach at Manchester United and his current achievements at Middlesbrough.
Under the leadership of this young Englishman, Middlesbrough's performance has been steadily improving. Last season, they defeated Bolton in the League Cup final and won the first major championship for the club.
This season, McClaren has begun to solve the forward problem that has plagued the team and introduced two powerful forwards, Viduka and Hasselbaink. This has greatly enhanced Middlesbrough's strength in the new season and is even expected to become a force that disrupts the situation among the major powers.
Although McClaren's reputation is still a little bit behind that of the "madman", as a football coach, he is one of the few in the whole of European football to have achieved such an achievement at the age of 43.
Therefore, Mourinho will never underestimate this opponent who is almost the same age as himself, and he is also looking forward to the tactical confrontation with McLaren---
This may be the mutual respect between talented coaches.
