Newcastle United first-team training ground.

Zhen Shaolong was demonstrating the 'penalty area line kicking door frame technique', and Owen and Viduka next to him looked at them in a daze, and they didn't even close their mouths for a long time.

It's amazing!

If it weren't for the fact that it was happening right in front of their eyes, they certainly wouldn't believe anyone could do it.

Zhen Shaolong kicked seven or eight kicks in a row, but only one of them deviated from his position, flew over the post, and the others directly hit the door frame.

"This guy ......"

"That's right!"

Owen looked at it in a daze, a little incredulous, he would rather treat the matter in front of him as a magic show than a player showing off his footwork.

Viduka pursed the corners of her lips, and her performance was not much better.

They were all thinking about the question, "How can they compete for position in the face of a teammate with such a precise footwork?"

？ ”

It's hard!

Football is a sport of comprehensive ability, for a striker, footwork is only one of the skills, but the footwork is good to a certain extent, such as shooting where to play, other abilities are a little worse, and it is enough to fight for the main position.

The reason is simple!

Football is a sport of shooting and scoring, and when the footwork is good enough, one or two chances are enough, and there is no need for other abilities to supplement the play, and scoring goals is the ultimate goal.

The confidence of the two men has taken a major blow.

Viduka feels better, he is almost 32 years old, and his transfer to Newcastle United is tantamount to finding a place to retire.

Even if there is no Zhen Shaolong, there are Owen and Martins in the team, and he can only be a forward substitute.

Now seeing Zhen Shaolong have such footwork, he is happy, because the strength of his teammates is strong, the team's results are better, and he also hopes that in the later years of his career, he can get a certain championship honor, just a league cup or FA cup.

Owen was hit a little harder.

As a former England golden boy, Owen became famous too early, debuted in Liverpool, transferred to Real Madrid, and then returned to the Premier League to join Newcastle United, and he even felt that playing for Newcastle United was Newcastle United's luck.

Even if you have been injured for a long time......

All right!

In short, Owen has never been worried about playing, as long as he can play normally, he will definitely have his own place, and the other teammates will not compete at all.

Now he found out that this was not the case.

There is no doubt about the strength of the Chinese kid in front of him, the other party is considered to be the best striker in Europe last season, the league and the League Cup both broke the historical record, after transferring to Newcastle United, he directly got the highest salary in the team, and may even be the 'highest salary in the Premier League', and then saw the opponent's extremely amazing footwork, Owen found that a main position was gone.

Competition, appeared.

Martins is also a very strong competitor and has been playing consistently.

Owen is confident in his skills and goalscoring efficiency, but he has been injured last season and basically did not play for Newcastle United.

Who will new manager Sam Allardyce trust?

————

Zhen Shaolong's 'show footwork' gave Owen and Viduka a big blow, but the atmosphere of the three of them was not bad, and they could also be suppressed in their hearts when they were hit, and they became more enthusiastic on the surface.

Because, strength!

Football players are also a place to fight for strength, and only when their strength is recognized can they get along amicably, and it is difficult for an ordinary young player to talk to a star.

The trio are rivals, but they are also teammates, and they all play together for Newcastle United.

Owen was also a little excited.

Regardless of the competition, thinking in a better direction, and such a strong teammate, the partner to form a strong forward line will definitely have super high efficiency.

When the time comes, will the media and fans say, "The forward line formed by Owen and Zhen Shaolong swept the whole of England!" They didn't sweep Europe, only because Newcastle United...... Not eligible for European competitions. ”

Zhen Shaolong, Owen and Viduka, stayed in the training ground for more than an hour, and then Viduka took the lead to leave, he also just joined Newcastle United, just came to the training ground to get acquainted, and Owen chatted a few words, he still has a lot to do.

Soon Owen also left.

Zhen Shaolong and Owen have said a lot, and they also know that Owen has just recovered from his injury and has been recovering for more than a month, so he still needs to pay attention to daily training, using leg strength to hold the ball and shoot training, and pay more attention to intensity and time to ensure better recovery and adjust the state to the best before the start of the new season.

After Owen left, Zhen Shaolong didn't go to the gym, he just went home to dress and wrap tightly, and went to a few nearby blocks to get familiar with the surrounding living environment.

The location of the house where Zhen Shaolong lives is really good, it is at the end of Wellington Avenue, staggered from the peak of the flow of people, close to the Newcastle University Business School, the environment and atmosphere must be very good......

Ahem.

This one doesn't matter.

Wellington Avenue is close to Newcastle United and St James's Park, almost a 10-minute walk away, along the road, to the east is the central business district, full of people, shops, theaters, churches, shopping streets, and a large casino, the casino is close to the city's only red-light district.

The red-light district is made up of small buildings with three or four storeys and reminder signs at intersections.

"How did I get here!"

Zhen Shaolong found that his walking was a little off, but he couldn't help but look inside a few times, and he didn't need to compare it to know that it was not a heavyweight with Rope Avenue.

"It's a pity......"

This strolling around was relaxing, and when Zhen Shaolong was about to leave, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking out of the alley of the red-light district.

Chubby.

Half-gray hair...... Why does he wear a hat and sunglasses?

"Mr. Allardyce!"

Zhen Shaolong shouted tentatively, and the fat man subconsciously turned his head, as if he was like a frightened deer, and immediately wanted to run away.

"It's me, Zhen Shaolong!"

Zhen Shaolong settled down and walked over, and asked a little confused, "Why are you ......?"

He reacted.

Allardyce hurriedly covered his mouth and let out a long breath, "Be careful! It's not safe here! ”

Zhen Shaolong understands in seconds.

The two walked all the way, having a friendly conversation all the way, and Zhen Shaolong staggered the topic of the red-light district, but Allardyce repeatedly emphasized, "I didn't do anything." ”

"Just to meet an old friend, yes, you know, the red-light district is closed during the day......"

Zhen Shaolong kept nodding.

He couldn't say 'believe', but he was a little surprised, the old guy did a good job of secrecy, and he had never seen it on the news, and there was lace news about him.

The two walked all the way to the side of the street.

Allardyce was about to take a taxi to leave, and he didn't forget to remind, "Zhen, don't tell it, it's my secret." No, it's a secret between us, by the way, I'll treat you to a burger when I have time, and the one next to the club is good. ”

"I don't eat burgers, high calories."

Zhen Shaolong replied with a dark face, 'The secret between us', which made him feel a little disgusted and want to vomit.

————

When Zhen Shaolong returned home, he recorded the incident.

It's everyday.

What 'secret' things that some people around you have done need to be carefully recorded, even if it is a 'secret that cannot be said', maybe it can be used in the future?

It's better to remember than to forget.

Many great thinkers and philosophers have said, "Knowledge is the source of power for human progress", and the meaning is almost the same, what happens to be written down, the more things in the mind, the more intelligent and the more realm of life will become.

All right.

On the same day, Zhen Shaolong waited for good news, and Alan Smith finally sent confidence-

"Tomorrow morning, ten o'clock, the west gate of the club gym, changing room!"

Zhen Shaolong happily replied, "OK, Golden Retriever!" ”

"You wait!"

"Okay, Golden Retriever!"

The next day, Zhen Shaolong got up early and went to the gym dressed as a whole.

He came a little early.

Alan Smith was completely unpresented, so he simply started his personal workout.

Smith was punctual.

At about half past nine, Smith appeared at the door, he walked to Zhen Shaolong's side with a black-astringent footsteps, with an expression of "my father is Li Gang", and by the way, he lit up the tendons and flesh all over his body.

"Good meat!"

Zhen Shaolong is still a little envious of Smith's muscles.

It means being strong!

"You said ten o'clock, right now? Just nobody! ”

Smith found that Zhen Shaolong was very calm, and was immediately filled with a strong sense of humiliation, he was specially dressed, not only with wrists and ankles, but also with a somewhat heavy metal sleeve, just to make his fists more powerful.

The other party doesn't even care?

He's angry!

Zhen Shaolong ignored Smith, and walked directly to the changing room, the changing room on the west side of the gym is relatively spacious, and the bench and cabinet in the middle can be used as a martial arts arena.

"It's a good place for the Golden Retriever!"

Zhen Shaolong sat on the side, watching Smith change clothes, wear overheads, and even bring braces, he couldn't help but sigh, "You are so professional!" ”

"Of course, you wait!"

Smith shouted viciously, finally corrected the position of the set, and immediately stood to the side, assuming the opening pose of a boxer, "Come on!" ”

"Good ......"

Zhen Shaolong was a little tired of waiting, he felt that Smith was playing tactics, not a normal 'appointment', and the other party just wanted to use time to drag people to death.

"Started?" He asked thoughtlessly.

"Now I'm going to attack!"

Smith said this and quickly rushed forward two steps, and he specially consulted a professional boxer, and by distracting his opponent while speaking, he was able to gain an advantage, and as long as he gave the opponent a punch, he could quickly take the advantage.

But......

He's up against an opponent with top-notch martial arts!

Zhen Shaolong's strength is not as good as Smith's, but he has experience in top-level martial arts, and when he sees Smith's movements, he subconsciously knows what to do.

Sideways.

Dodge straight punches.

By the way, he turned around and kicked out the swing leg, and the leg kick was just right in the side of Smith's face.

"Bang!"

The violent collision between his back heel and his face suddenly made Smith roll in pain and temporarily lose his ability to resist.

The rest is simple.

Zhen Shaolong aimed at his ass with a kick, then stepped on Smith's hands, and waved two fists at the handsome face, which was a serial combination package, "Bumper!" Crackling......"

"Call you arrogant!"

"Are you still arrogant?"

"I'll call you the Golden Retriever! Golden! Golden! Golden! Convinced or not! ”

"If you hit someone, you will be slapped in the face!"

“……”

————

Outside the changing room door.

There was a staff member standing whose name was Bruno, who was in charge of the gym.

Last time, Bruno saw Zhen Shaolong and Smith clashing, and was warned not to tell others, in order not to lose his job, he could only hold things in his heart.

Right now......

Bruno was too worried.

Zhen Shaolong and Smith are both stars in the team, and whoever is beaten and injured will definitely be held accountable, but before Smith went in, he warned again, he could only stand outside, and he didn't dare to go in and disturb.

There was a bumping sound and Smith's wails of pain.

"No, it's going to kill someone!"

When Bruno couldn't help it, he saw Zhen Shaolong walking out refreshed, and gave him a special warning, "Don't say it!" ”

"Okay." Bruno hurriedly asked, "Is Smith okay?" ”

"Don't worry!"

After Zhen Shaolong finished speaking, he walked away.

After about five minutes, Smith opened the door, and he appeared to be nothing at all, but he seemed to be exhausted and collapsed, and he couldn't even stand on his feet.

Bruno exhaled, and then his mind expanded.

"What the hell is going on here?"

"Two men went in to fight, one came out in good spirits, and the other shouted in pain for a long time, without any injuries on his body, but came out in prostration......"

"Hmm......"

"He's still holding his ass-......"
