Passing and receiving training is the foundation of Brazilian football training, and it is the most important technical training program, and it is practiced regularly after learning. Even now São Paulo's under-18 team arranges two dedicated passing sessions a week.

The coach will use a variety of changing running and passing methods to train the players' ability to pass and receive the ball continuously during the run, and require the players to run quickly and pass the ball continuously without stopping during the passing and receiving training. This training method is effective in developing the Brazilian style of short passing and play.

But that's the advanced training content.

Now what Rongguang has to do is the most basic and basic passing and receiving training.

He and Lucas stood opposite each other and passed the ball to each other.

You don't need to run back and forth, whether it's passing or receiving, you can stand still.

In a square of space of ten yards (about nine meters) by ten yards, Glory and Lucas pass the ball to each other, starting with the simplest pass, but also the most commonly used—a push pass with the inside of the foot.

Pushing is the most reliable technique for making accurate close-range ground balls. When passing the ball, the kicking foot turns outwards and aligns the part of the shoe that touches the ball at the correct angle. Keep your ankles tense and keep them firm, otherwise you won't be able to control the direction of your pass. And in order not to kick the ball into the air, you should try to kick the horizontal midline of the football when the shoe touches the ball.

The supporting foot should be positioned far enough away from the side of the ball to allow the kicking leg to swing freely.

The action of catching the ball on the inside of the foot is also very simple. The same as pushing the pass, only one is to hit the ball, the other is to unload the ball - when the ball rolls over, the receiving foot should be slightly retracted, and there is a buffer, so that when the force of the ball is too large, it will not bounce out of the ball and lose control. At this time, the role of Rongguang when he repeatedly practiced juggling the ball was reflected.

After the practice of bouncing the ball, he has become accustomed to the feeling of cushioning his feet when touching the ball. After the ball is buffered, you have to turn the ball upside down again, you don't need to catch the ball, buffer the ball, and stop the ball directly.

So for the glory who has mastered the juggling ball, it is simple to catch the ball with the inside of the foot.

After Lucas disassembled it again and explained the essentials of passing and receiving the ball, he stepped back and began to practice with Glory.

"Here, pass me the football." Lucas, who was standing about nine meters away, raised his hands and shouted to Glory.

At the same time, on the training ground, the players of the youth team are also watching this training.

They turned their heads to look at the glory.

I saw that after the glory receded, he picked up his right foot and kicked the ball!

The football was not kicked out of the way, but his own right foot was kicked to the ankle of his left foot, losing his balance and tripping up!

"Aha!" One of the youth team players laughed out loud.

"It's stupid! It's horribly stupid! ”

"How dare such an idiot shout to defeat Kaka?"

"Defeat Kaka? Let's go in the next life! ”

"What are you doing? Train hard! Waldemar's scolding rang out.

Lucas could also hear the laughter from the youth team, and although he couldn't hear what they were saying, it was enough to tell.

"The bastards...... "Even though he was on the same team as them, he felt they were going too far now."

A beginner expresses his ideals, what is there to laugh at?

He set his sights on glory, and he had risen from the ground.

"Did I just get too close to the soccer ball with my support foot?" Glory ignored the laughter of those men, and asked Lucas very seriously.

Seriously surprised Lucas.

He really didn't expect that the first thing he said after he became glorious turned out to be a matter of technique. He thought that Glory would scold that side first......

"Ah...... Oh, yes. When you pass the ball just now, your support foot is too close, so not only will you not be able to exert power, but you will also kick your support foot, just like you just made a stupid mistake. ”

"Okay, come again!" Glory seemed to be completely untouched by the ill-intentioned ridicule, and shouted in high spirits.

After dinner, Rong Guang went out with a football in his arms.

Godot knew that he must have found a place to train again, so he just admonished: "Don't come back too late." "I just watched TV on my own.

Glory came to the rooftop of the building.

It was an elevator apartment where he and Lucas lived, and it was fifteen stories long.

At the top is the rooftop.

There is not much to do here, and Glory can train alone here without being disturbed.

After the most basic warm-up, he began to juggle the ball.

He didn't count for himself anymore, counting how many balls he had turned in one breath.

He can think of something else while juggling the ball, so that he can use his heart for two things, reflecting that his body has remembered this feeling, and the purpose of juggling the ball to be familiar with the ball sense has been achieved.

Football goes up and down and up in front of the eyes of glory.

It's like a pendulum swinging vertically.

Looking at football, Rong Guang thought of distant China, in his hometown, what time is this time?

Are grandparents okay?

Did my younger brother work hard to go to school?

And my parents and sister who work in Shanghai, how are they doing?

When I first entered São Paulo, I wrote them a letter, and I don't know if they received it.

It's been almost a month since I've been here, but I haven't made any money yet.

Every day is the most boring and monotonous basic training.

He didn't know how long such days would last.

When will you be able to play like those professional players in the first team, make a lot of money and become famous?

He heard the laughter of those people on the training ground today.

But when will you be able to slap them in the face with your actual performance?

Rongguang finished the ball juggling training, looking at the football at his feet, he came up to practice passing and receiving. There was no one to practice with him, and he had a way.

The stairwell is the building that protrudes from the rooftop, surrounded by walls that he can kick a football into to practice passing.

When the ball hits the wall and bounces back, stretch out your foot to stop the ball, which is a practice of catching the ball.

As long as there is a wall, a football, you can practice passing and receiving the ball, it's very simple.

But when Rongguang stepped on the football and looked at the snow-white wall opposite, he suddenly felt a little unwilling.

Although the idea of learning to shoot was stopped by the coach, when there was no coach by his side, only himself, his heart was ready to move again......

Rongguang pulled the football to a distance of about a dozen meters from the wall, and behind him was almost the edge of the rooftop, chest-high cement railing, clinging to his back. It can't be refunded anymore.

The wind of a summer night in São Paulo howled on the top of the fifteenth floor, blowing Glory's growing hair and his thin T-shirt.

The nearby buildings were brightly lit in front of Glory, and then the lights were a little weak in Glory's eyes, becoming spots of light, and the focus of his gaze fell on the white wall opposite.

The moonlight shone on the rooftop, and although it was not lit, the snow-white walls reflected the moonlight.

Perhaps by coincidence, the wall happens to be seven meters three long and two meters five high, which is about the size of a goal in a regular stadium.

In the eyes of glory, this is his goal.

Godot once said that the most exciting scene in football is when the goal is shot, and the climax is the goal. Just like in basketball, slam dunk is always the most eye-catching and sought after.

This sentence was deeply engraved in the mind of the rookie glory.

The idea of learning to shoot and scoring goals took root and became stronger and stronger.

Although Coach Waldemar said that even if he learned to shoot now, there was no point in it, but Glory still wanted to try......

He wanted to try what it was like to shoot, what it was like.

Rongguang looked at the "goal" opposite, and looked down at the football at his feet.

He imagined himself in the middle of a game, and the wind howling from the rooftop was the frantic shouts of the fans in the stands.

They were chanting, "Glory! Shot! Shot! Glory! Whether you score or not is up to you! ”

The feeling of high hopes made Glory's blood rush to his head, and he ran and then kicked the football!

Shot!

The soccer ball soared into the air, creating an arc in the night sky.

Then he climbed over the wall of the stairwell and ran towards the bright lights ahead...... Then it disappeared into the spots.

He kicked it off.

Later, the sound of glass breaking, exclamations of people and barking of dogs could be heard in the distance.

※※※

Godot heard the door knock and turned his head to find that Glory had returned, and he glanced with some surprise at the clock hanging on the wall. It's only been more than half an hour......

"So fast today?"

"Uh...... Buy me another soccer ball tomorrow, Godot. Rong Guang said with some embarrassment.

Only then did Godot notice that Glory had no football in his hands or feet.

"What's wrong?"

"I kicked it downstairs and couldn't find it......," Glory scratched his head.

Godot smiled.

It seems that the passing and receiving practice is not going well...... He was able to kick a football under the rooftop.

But this is quite normal, after all, it is the first day of passing and receiving training. No matter how strong Rongguang's learning ability is, it is impossible to learn to pass and receive the ball in one day.

He didn't blame Rongguang, but nodded: "Okay, buy a new ball tomorrow." ”

Glory said goodbye to Godot and returned to his room.

Closing the door, he stood behind it, his head bowed.

In front of his eyes, it was as if there was a football.

He remembered how he felt when he had kicked on the roof.

Although he shot away at the very end, the feeling of the moment of shooting really made him feel very interesting, more interesting than juggling the ball and passing and receiving the ball......

Now that there is a ball in front of his feet, Glory imitates the action of shooting and kicks the "football".

In his fantasy, the ball was kicked exactly by him towards the goal, and bypassing the goalkeeper's blockade, it hit the net with a pleasant sound.

Pretty!

Rongguang clenched his fists, a smile blooming on his face.

The shot was really fun!
