Chapter 254: The Special Significance of the League Cup

In general, dance learning begins with the practice of basic movements.

There are many basic movements of dance, which are often used for exercise, such as leg presses, shoulder presses, kicks, big kicks, leg splits, and so on.

No matter what the basic movements are, the purpose of the exercise is mainly in three aspects--

One is to work on flexibility.

The second is to exercise the coordination ability of the body.

The third is to exercise physical strength.

No matter what kind of dance learning is carried out, exercising the flexibility of the body is a basic requirement, and the third point of physical strength is also very important, dance performance is very, very much in need of physical support, otherwise a dance is halfway through, the physical strength can not keep up, and the movement can not be made It will be embarrassing.

The second one, 'body coordination', is the key to learning dance well.

This is also the main part of Zhen Shaolong's learning.

Dance is a body art, and if you want to express it lyrically, under the requirements of grasping the rhythm, the movement is very natural.

This is also the difficulty.

For example, a new set of dance moves, even if you are a professional who has been engaged in dance for many years, it is difficult to dance the 'natural' after being proficient in the movements, and between the movements and the movements, because it is necessary to capture the beat, there will be a stiffness in the connection of the movements.

How to solve the problem of 'stiff movements' through repeated exercises, and how to make two unrelated movements as coherent as possible, is an extremely valuable dance science.

Of course.

Zhen Shaolong didn't have time to explore the intricacies of dance, he just wanted to dance the "Dream Dance Steps" well and give full play to the effect of "Dream Dance Steps" so that he could complete the task more easily.

Others are not interested.

When Angela came to take the third class, he asked Zhen Shaolong why he wanted to learn dance, and he bluntly talked about his purpose-

"Dance a good set."

Zhen Shaolong didn't want to say more, and Angela didn't ask more, so he kept teaching him some basics, and with the foundation of dance, to perfect the known movements, was the purpose of his hard work.

During the day's dance lessons, Angela talked about a key question, "I watched the St. Pauli game, and your celebration is a dance. Have you been practicing that? ”

"Yes."

There's nothing bad to say about this.

"Can you take a live jump and take a look? Maybe I can find some questions and give you some advice. Angela said sincerely.

Alice and Claudio also looked over.

They all knew that Zhen Shaolong would use a dance to celebrate, but they had never seen it at any other time except for the competition.

That's weird.

Zhen Shaolong hesitated for a moment, because "Dream Dance Steps" is related to the task and belongs to his own secret, he practiced alone, but let a professional like Angela move under the guidance of the movement seems to be good, he still nodded and agreed, and danced the 'first set of celebration dances' on the spot.

This set of moves is already very proficient.

Zhen Shaolong jumped down from beginning to end, in order to make Angela see more clearly, he deliberately slowed down his movements, and it took about thirty seconds to complete.

The three women in the room looked at each other without blinking.

The movements of "Dream Dance Steps" have a certain visual impact on women, and Zhen Shaolong's movements are skillful and can already play a certain role.

Alice saw the urge to come over and hug the dancers in her arms.

Claudio clamped his legs.

She felt that if she continued to watch, she might not be able to help but make mistakes.

Angela was better.

Angela is a professional dancer, and her mind is more focused on the dance itself, but she is also a woman, still at the age of a wolf and a tiger, and she also has vision and aesthetics, and in the process, she can't help but remember that the last time she quarreled with her husband, the two have been separated for nearly a month.

"How could I have thought of this!" Angela's face was a little ruddy, and she secretly straightened her mind and began to face the dance itself.

It's a very strange dance.

If you only look at the lower body movements, it is completely like the male of the animal kingdom, showing his charm to the female, which is commonly known as 'courtship', but with the arm and leg movements, it gives people a sense of beauty of movement and coordination, and the fly in the ointment is that the movements are still a little unsmooth and coordinated.

This has nothing to do with skillful movements, it is entirely a matter of the dancers themselves.

It's like a layman who doesn't understand basketball at all, the only thing he knows is to put the basketball into the basket, stick to one position for a long time, and keep practicing, which can also make the shooting very accurate, but the action in the process is not standard, which gives people a weird feeling.

Angela feels that there are many things to correct.

And......

When Zhen Shaolong's movements stopped, Alice and Claudio were still immersed in the dance, and Angela frowned and said, "You can dance again." ”

"Again?"

"Yes."

Zhen Shaolong jumped again as requested, and in order to make Angela see more clearly, his movements became slower.

When the action was over, Angela suddenly asked, "Did you create it yourself?" ”

“……”

Zhen Shaolong smiled and said nothing.

When Angela saw his expression, she knew that she didn't want to answer, but she didn't ask anything, but frowned and said, "I found this dance to suit you very well." I mean, yes, it's very good, if it's someone else, doing the same action, the aesthetic is a lot lower......"

"That's not right...... In short, the movements of this dance are as if they were tailor-made for you. ”

This is where Angela was surprised.

In the process of Zhen Shaolong's second jump, she also did a few movements, not to mention that she felt very embarrassed, she found that if she changed the figure in the field to other men, such as her husband, the movements would become very weird, and there would not be that kind of very attractive sensory effect at all.

If you are changing people to dance the same dance, you must be 'about the same height, similar figure, and even somewhat similar in appearance as Zhen Shaolong'.

That's where the weirdness goes.

Angela couldn't help but think, "Could it be a dance master who can design a dance set specifically for him?" Otherwise, it simply doesn't make sense. ”

She immediately shook her head and didn't think about it, because it was hard to get results by thinking about it out of thin air.

Next, Angela began to carefully let Zhen Shaolong demonstrate the connection between each movement in the dance, and then put forward some suggestions for coordination and fluency.

With Angela's targeted guidance and suggestions, the effect of Zhen Shaolong's first set of celebratory dance moves will definitely improve at a rocket-like speed.

But improvements in dance moves don't happen overnight.

Zhen Shaolong has to go through several or more than a dozen rehearsals for each action, and Angela has to make suggestions on some small aspects between actions and actions.

For example, the angle of waving your arm.

For example, the height of the leg lift.

Zhen Shaolong didn't notice it at all before, because he only had the movements of "Dream Dance Steps" in his mind, a specific small movement, how many angles it takes to wave his arms, basically 'almost'.

Angela doesn't know about "Dream Dance Steps", but she can give suggestions for adjustments based on visual experience.

It took more than an hour that afternoon, and only a dozen movements were corrected, and several people felt a little tired, Zhen Shaolong felt unfinished, so he could only stop.

The next day, Zhen Shaolong returned to training.

With the knockout rounds of the UEFA Cup approaching, the training atmosphere in St. Pauli has become much more serious.

The coaching staff studied the opponent Feyenoord early on, and the team also made some training adjustments to Feyenoord's style of play.

The UEFA Cup is still very important.

Many teams are fighting to participate in European competitions, not just for the sake of honour and the like, but also for the club itself, the attraction of European competitions is mainly reflected in the income.

For example, the UEFA Champions League.

The prize money share of the UEFA Champions League is very high, only the appearance fee for playing in the group stage is nearly one million euros, plus the winning bonus, draw bonus, TV broadcast share, etc., even if you only participate in the group stage of the Champions League, a team can easily share millions of euros, as long as you can enter the knockout round, the participation fee and promotion bonus are calculated in millions of euros, and the team that finally wins the European championship can get more than 30 million euros in prize money alone.

Thirty million euros is a lot.

The value of an ordinary top league club is about this number, and the prize money of an event has such a high amount, you can imagine how attractive it is.

The UEFA Cup is not as good as the Champions Cup, but it is still very attractive for a club like St. Pauli that is at the bottom of the Bundesliga.

Reaching the round of 32 of the UEFA Cup, each team will receive a promotion bonus of 200,000 euros, and a team will receive 300,000 euros if they reach the round of 16.

Quarterfinals, 400,000 euros.

Final four, 700,000 euros.

The winner of the final will receive 3 million euros, and the runner-up will receive 2 million euros.

St. Pauli FC treats the League Cup and does not have the luxury of pursuing the championship, but being able to advance to two more rounds and get tens or millions of euros in bonuses will also bring a great supplement to the club's finances.

In addition, publicity is also important.

The club's president, Ritman, and manager Retig, both believe that participating in the UEFA Cup can help St. Pauli spread the word throughout Europe and make more fans aware of St. Pauli's reputation.

This is more important than the million-dollar prize.

In fact......

Manager Retich still has an unspoken thought, that is, to make Zhen Shaolong famous.

Zhen Shaolong's performance in the German competition is very good, as long as you pay attention to the Bundesliga fans, almost all have heard of his name, but it is only limited to Germany, and the scope extends to the whole of Europe, and his fame is not very big.

Although the Bundesliga is also one of the five major leagues, the influence of the Bundesliga scorer king is indeed not great, and it is not at all comparable to the scorer king of the Premier League, Serie A and La Liga.

If you add to this the 'League Cup Goalscorer King', let the whole of Europe know his name, and show his efficiency on the real big stage, the situation will naturally be different.

St. Pauli will definitely not be able to keep Zhen Shaolong.

This is already a consensus.

Since St. Pauli can't keep Zhen Shaolong, the summer transfer will naturally sell for a good price, the more famous Zhen Shaolong is, the higher the value, compared to the prize money for the promotion of the League Cup, what is it?

Of course.

That was Rhaedig's mind, and he didn't even talk about it to anyone else.

Even head coach Rittman has a good personal relationship with Zhen Shaolong, and he is reluctant to mention the matter of 'Zhen Shaolong's transfer'.

Head coach Bergman?

If it comes to Zhen Shaolong's transfer, Bergman will show his teeth and claws like crazy, and even force him to 'resign', Retig doesn't think that St. Pauli's good results have anything to do with Bergman, but he can't stand the fans' very supportive of Bergman.

So he could only think about it.
