After dinner, Rong Guang did not rush to his rooftop, but recalled the previous one-on-one experience with Kaka in the living room.

Although there were many failures, he did not say that there was no gain at all.

He summed up the experience of those failures and formed his own understanding of "croquettes".

It's a simple but versatile move that can be used in many situations.

In Kaka and his one-on-one, Kaka doesn't just make the most basic "croquettes", but there are many variants. Sometimes he's plucking the ball, sometimes he's smashing the ball, and sometimes he's even dribbling.

In short, as long as the feet touch the ball back and forth, it is considered a croquette.

Glory didn't make a fuss about it. According to his understanding, croquettes always come in a variety of flavors, including chicken, fish balls, beef balls, and pork balls...... Therefore, there are naturally many variations of the extraordinary action of a fried croquette.

According to Eiko's understanding, the secret of the action of "croquettes" lies in the coordination of the body.

As long as the body is coordinated, the ball can quickly change direction between the feet and quickly break through the opponent without even noticing.

The advantage of this action is that it is stealthy enough. Until you do that, your opponent doesn't know what you're going to do.

It's different from the one before the glory. The characteristics before the change of direction are too obvious - as long as they see Glory sink their shoulders to the side, the defenders will know what Glory is going to do.

And "croquettes" are very concealed because the amplitude of the body swing is not large, not as intense as the samba. When the opponent realizes that the glory is going to break through them, it is often the time when the glory passes them.

They can't prevent it at all!

However, when doing this movement, the whole body must be very coordinated and natural.

It is not okay to take care of the top and not care about the bottom, or not to take care of the top.

If you only pay attention to the shaking of the upper body, and ignore the strength and rhythm control of the feet, the result will be ......

"Smack!"

A ceramic vase fell from the trellis and fell to the ground, shattering itself.

And the culprit, the football, is bouncing next to the trellis.

Godot, who heard the voice, came out of the bedroom, still holding his phone in his hand—he was calling his daughter.

He looked at the mess in amazement.

"Uh...... It was just an accident, Godot ......"

Glory explained on the side.

※※※

"Bang!" The door closed behind Glory, and before closing the door, Godot's voice came from inside: "Go to the rooftop and practice!" ”

Glory turned around and stuck out his tongue at the closed door, then picked up the soccer ball and walked to the stairwell.

When he leapfrog jumped onto the rooftop, he saw a complex environment of pipes crisscrossing the rooftop—the open space behind him that he had been using to practice passing and shooting, was automatically ignored by him.

His eyes lit up.

The pipes formed a lot of obstacles, there were gaps between the pipes, and the pipes that were erected were more than a man tall and calf-thick...... Isn't that a good place to practice "croquettes"?

He threw the soccer ball at his feet and led it towards the gap between the two pipes. At a very close distance, he flicked the football with his right foot, and his left foot naturally stretched forward during the run, knocking the football directly through the gap.

The movement was very smooth and natural, but just as he was about to accelerate through the gap, his body crashed into a tube on the right, and under the reaction force, he was knocked into the tube on the left, and then bounced back.

Just collided back and forth, and then fell straight out of the ball, and the ball had already rolled to the front and out of his control.

And he replaced the football and turned into fried meatballs......

Glory rubbed his ached hip and grinned as he got up from the ground.

It's a lot harder than you think.

Glory looked at the criss-crossing pipes, which in his eyes all transformed into fierce defenders, who intertwined into dense lines of defense in front of him.

At the back of their game is their goal, the goal.

If you want to reach the finish line, you have to dribble past these defenders and through the gaps in the dense defensive line!

It's a daunting challenge.

But such a challenge made Rongguang's blood boil and burned with strong fighting spirit.

Good! Then break through the defense and go straight to the Yellow Dragon!

Come on, pipes! I'm not afraid of you!

Glory once again dribbled the ball against the pipe "defender" and rushed forward.

Sao Paulo's next match will be against Palmeiras, which is also a traditional powerhouse. They were Corinthians' sworn enemies in the state of São Paulo, and their hatred of São Paulo was average.

Prior to this game, Osvaldo had been practicing the team's offensive tactics, requiring Glory, Kaka and Fabiano to pass the ball to each other while attacking, and everyone had to participate in the attack. It's a bit of a slow pace of attack, but it's training, and in order to increase everyone's involvement in the attack, you have to set some restrictions.

After three days of training, Osvaldo didn't really care about how the three of them could work together in the game.

As long as you can make a connection.

That will make it more difficult for the opponent to defend.

In the away match against Palmeiras, Sao Paulo ended up with the opponent in a 2-2 draw.

The Trident also had excellent performances in the game, such as Kaka who assisted Fabiano to score, and then Fabiano reciprocated by assisting Kaka to score.

Although the match was not won, it gave Osvaldo a glimpse of a bright future for the two-striker trident tactic.

He could clearly see the pressure on Palmeiras in defence after the trident was in motion.

This is still a situation where the three of them are not tacit enough.

Even if the cooperation of the three people can reach 70% tacit understanding, what a terrifying thing it should be!

※※※

And although Rongguang did not score goals and assists in the game, he was still happy.

Because his mind is no longer on this, he cares more about the passing skills he is working on than the goal assist.

He was so happy because he did it again in the race!

And relied on this action to pass two defenders in one go!

This extraordinary success convinced Rong Guang that his special training on the rooftop was useful!

While he hasn't been able to get past all the tube defenders and break through to the goal on the rooftop, he's already seen the benefits of this rigors on the pitch.

Someday he's going to leave all the pipe defenders behind him in one go!

※※※

Rongguang hasn't even been to Lakeside Park these days, except for the time in the training base, he has devoted all his other time to "passing the test" on the rooftop.

In order to increase the training time, he wakes up an hour earlier - he used to wake up at six o'clock, but now he gets up at five.

Then go up to the rooftop and go to training.

After training, you can enjoy the sunrise.

At noon, the special training of "croquettes" continued in the training base. Returning home in the evening, Godot went home to cook dinner, and Rongguang climbed directly from the underground parking lot to the rooftop with a frog jump to carry out his "pass the test" special training.

After dinner, he spent all his time on the rooftop until 11 o'clock at night.

He put all his energy into special training, and he had no idea how time passed.

During this time, the focus in the media was on São Paulo's away game against Flamengo.

The match between São Paulo and Flamengo is not a well-known derby, but it is a strong conversation.

Sao Paulo are currently the second-best team in the Brazilian National Championship, while Flamengo are the favourites in all of Brazil.

The clash between these two teams is naturally in the spotlight.

Ordinary fans watch the excitement, and professionals watch something deeper. For example, what Sao Paulo's double-forward trident tactics will perform in the game against Flamengo, and what unexpected performance Glory will give in the game, everyone is also very concerned.

The reappearance of the trident against Palmeiras seemed to signal that Osvaldo's new tactics were taking shape and that it wouldn't be long before they could shine in the game.

This is definitely not good news for Grayson.

Grayson is a native of São Paulo, but now he really wants Flamengo to beat São Paulo at home and smash São Paulo's so-called front trident to pieces!

He believes that Flamengo still has that energy on their home turf.

Felipe Antonio Fernández Barbosa, Scoreboard's head of football, took his eyes off the manuscript and looked up at Grayson, who was sitting at his desk.

The look on his face was one of surprise.

"Grayson, you've done a very thorough analysis of Sao Paulo's two-front midfield tactics in this article, and it's the way it is, from a technical point of view...... There is no problem, this is an article that can definitely occupy an important place......"

Hearing the supervisor's compliment, Grayson had a smile on his face. He was very confident in his strength, and when he handed over the manuscript, he didn't expect to be provoked.

This manuscript is the work of his painstaking efforts, and it is not an exaggeration to receive such praise.

"But I have a question." Felipe's voice changed, though. "I'm well aware of where you stand, Grayson, you're not one of those guys who likes the two-front tactics, you've written a lot of articles to baash Sao Paulo's new tactics. But in this article you praise the new tactics and assert that Flamengo will never be able to contain São Paulo's attacking trident in the game...... It's so weird, what is this for? Why do you have such a change of attitude? ”

The director's questions were also expected by Grayson.

Anyone who has read these issues will find it strange that the Director is right, and that he is showing a position that is diametrically opposed to what he had insisted on before. If the supervisor can't even see this, then he doesn't deserve to sit in the supervisor's position.

So did Grayson really reverse his stance and favor Osvaldo's tactics?

Of course not, Grayson's stubbornness is almost comparable to the stones in the manure pit.

How could he change his position so easily?

Naturally, he had his own intentions in doing so.

"Facts speak louder than words, Felipe. I think there are times when we are blinded by prejudice...... I did have doubts about São Paulo's new tactics, but after two games in a row, I've made a tentative acknowledgment of it. I think it's really what I said, similar to the one used by the Brazilian national team at the World Cup, with the talent of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo up front. Osvaldo was clearly inspired as well...... Since the Brazilian national team can rely on this tactic to win the World Cup, why can't Sao Paulo succeed? ”

Saying this, Grayson thought to himself: I have written so obviously in the article, if you still can't find the advantages and disadvantages of this tactic, then don't mix in the national championship, and relegate as soon as possible!

Grayson's reasoning is unassailable, and although Director Felipe is still a little skeptical, he accepts Grayson's explanation.

So he didn't have any more problems and wrote his review comments next to the manuscript.

Grayson saw his movement, and a smile curled into the corner of his mouth.
