Chapter 005 Participating in the team training match

The players on the court also noticed the black-haired boy who followed Paul into the court. Ryan ran to the sidelines after hearing the shouting.

Wang Li changed into the jersey and sneakers in his backpack on the lawn and went on the court.

The Wolverhampton youth team often has young people applying for trials here. These young people will seize every opportunity to show themselves. For these people, the dozens of minutes on the field are their last chance to join the youth team.

Only a few of them can participate in team training matches. Generally speaking, a tryout match is held every weekend. Every young man who comes for the tryout will get a chance of twenty to forty minutes. All they need to do is to show themselves as much as possible during this time.

The same is true for Wang Li. Just yesterday, he was still thinking about scoring a Maradona-like goal on the field to win the coach's appreciation.

But now he was in trouble. In the first five minutes, he was running in vain. The main players of the youth team looked down on a young man who had just come here for trial training, so no one would pass the ball to him.

The current situation on the field is not optimistic for Wang Li. It might even be better for him to directly participate in the trial match, where at least he can receive passes from midfielders who can demonstrate their passing ability.

"He seems to be in trouble," Paul said to Old Wood.

"Well, let's see how this young man solves it. If he can't even solve this, he can't become a qualified professional player." Old Wood said with some emotion.

Although Wang Li didn't catch the ball for a long time, he did not lose heart. The court is a place where strength speaks, and he believes in his own abilities.

After a while, the opportunity presented itself.

Charlie Muller had been keeping an eye on the black-haired kid who had just come on the field. After receiving the pass from the goalkeeper, he dribbled forward along the left side.

"I'll break through from you, and let you see the strength of the main striker of the Wolves youth team."

He dribbles the ball very fast, using his left and right feet alternately to pedal on the rolling football. His dribbling skills are indeed not bad.

But this had no effect on Wang Li. This flashy dribbling method could not deceive his eyes. Just as Charlie Mueller was about to use a beautiful half turn to get past him, his left toe stepped accurately on the fast-rolling football, and the ball immediately stopped.

At this time, Charlie's body had moved forward more than one meter under the action of inertia.

"This boy's defensive ability is pretty good. He was able to steal the ball from Charlie so easily. Even if Charlie was a little careless, his stealing ability is enough to be a substitute defender for the youth team." Old Wood looked at Paul and smiled, but when he turned around and looked at Wang Li's thin body, he sighed and shook his head...

On this court, no one regarded Wang Li, who had just entered the court, as the protagonist, even in the professional league. Opportunities are earned by oneself. If you want to gain respect, you must prove your strength on the court.

Wang Li now has a good opportunity. After getting the ball, he quickly moves forward along the sidelines.

With his current speed, it takes less than ten seconds for him to dribble the ball from the center line to the baseline. Before the opponent can react, he has already reached the baseline.

At this time, the opponent had already sent two people to double-team him. They didn't want this newcomer to be so arrogant on the court.

Looking at the two people coming up, Wang Li smiled. He quickly passed his right foot over the ball and pulled it back behind his body. Then he knocked the ball to the right with his right foot and the ball rolled back.

The big black guy who was a little further away from the baseline reacted, twisted his body and ran towards the ball.

But the ball didn't leave Wang Li's body. He turned his body quickly with his feet in an incredible swing, and quickly pulled the ball back with his left foot. The big black man was immediately thrown over. He didn't have the ability to twist like Wang Li...

It happened so quickly, and the whole process only took a few seconds. Wang Li dribbled the ball out of the encirclement of two people and entered the penalty area.

At this time he was a little worried. He had never practiced tactics, nor had he cooperated with others. At this time he was a little at a loss. Should he shoot directly or pass the ball?

Looking at his teammates nearby, he didn't know who to pass the ball to.

The thought only lasted a moment before he decided to shoot. Obviously, the chances of him scoring a goal were higher, and his shooting skills were not bad either.

He quickly knocked the ball upwards with his right foot, and after the ball bounced, he slightly lifted his left foot and swung his calf, and the football flew straight towards the goal.

Unfortunately, the shot was a bit off target and missed the goal.

Wang Li sighed and ran back to his position. He felt that this shot was a bit sudden. If he could shoot more accurately, he would definitely score.

After this attack, he has somewhat integrated into the game, and his goal is to win and even score a goal.

The field was a little quiet. Most people stared at Wang Li. The shot made by this black-haired boy was really unexpected. How could he shoot with that kind of action? It was like an acrobatic performance. They had a different opinion of this black-haired boy. At least he had some talent. Even if it was just a flash of inspiration just now, it was still very good.

Woodgate's old face on the sidelines was now full of smiles. He said to Paul beside him with some excitement: "We may have found a treasure this time. He has a very fast dribbling speed, a good passing level, and can kick such creative shots. He is really talented."

Creativity is the biggest difference between superstars and ordinary players. Woodgate quite agrees with this. When he saw Wang Li, he felt like he had seen the capital for his future pride. How he hoped that he could say to his old friends in the future: "Look, that XX is the child I taught." And then enjoy the admiring gazes of others.

So the more he looked at Wang Li running on the field, the more he liked him.

Paul also smiled, and then asked in confusion: "Then why did the Arsenal youth team reject him? It's really strange, maybe there is something wrong with his passing? You see, he is so independent on the field that he didn't pass the ball once in such a long time."

Old Wood nodded in agreement and said, "Maybe. Tell him to come down and prepare to move to Wolverhampton. I will go find Jose and ask him to give this boy a youth team contract."

Wang Li, who was running desperately on the field, didn't know that his performance had already impressed old Wood.

However, he is a little embarrassed now. Although his performance is very good, his approach of just rushing forward after getting the ball makes it impossible for others to pass the ball to him. Therefore, he can only run desperately to get more contact with the ball and perform better.

'I should practice my passing,' he thought.

In fact, he can pass the ball to other people very accurately, but he doesn't know who to pass it to, especially when there is chaos in the frontcourt, he is even more at a loss.

This is due to the problem of overall perspective. He has never received formal football training, and cannot copy the feeling on the court by experience. However, Wang Li believes that he will definitely improve in this aspect after receiving formal training.

After more than thirty minutes of confrontation, the game finally ended. After walking to the sidelines, Paul told Wang Li that he had been recognized by old Wood and informed him to move to Wolverhampton as soon as possible.
