Chapter Twenty-Seven: Finally Practice Shooting
See the fastest updates
When training began, Glory was led to an empty goal by first-team coach Sergio Rocha – and it can't be said entirely that there was a dummy in the goal, which was used as a goalkeeper, mainly as a reference. When you practice shooting, if you don't have a reference, the practice won't work.
Then Rocha and Rong Guang put the football on the big penalty area together.
Ten in total, lined up.
After setting it up, Rocha began to explain the essentials of shooting to Rongguang.
There are many techniques for shooting, and there are different ways to shoot at goal, but in Osvaldo's plan, he didn't have the time to teach glory one by one.
So choose the most utilitarian method - whichever way of shooting has a higher goal rate, choose which!
'We don't have time to start slowly from the basics at the moment, I'm just going to tell you what strategy you should adopt in the game to score the easiest goals. And then we're just going to practice that kind of shooting. 'Rocha is the attacking coach of the first team and he is also responsible for the shooting practice of the players. Now he has left the whole team to do special training for Glory, which shows how much Osvaldo attaches importance to Glory.
"When you have a chance to shoot, remember to try to hold the ball as low as possible, the best for the boccia. It's better to shoot off than high. I've noticed that the goal you scored in the last game was very high, and if the ball had flown a little longer, it would have gone straight off the crossbar. You're pushing too hard, and you're hitting the ball in the wrong place, so it's not as hard as you can shoot. ”
Rong Guang nodded as he listened, his patience for shooting training was far better than other training.
These were very valuable experiences and knowledge for him, and he was like a dry sponge suddenly thrown into the water, frantically absorbing all the knowledge that was beneficial to him.
'The right direction and force is the key to shooting. In addition to being redirected, a shot that flies along the ground can also be stuck, jolted and skidded – all of which can make it more difficult for the goalkeeper to make a save. So for the next week, all you have to do is practice boccia. Now, follow me to the boccia shooting practice! ”
With that, Rocha began to demonstrate the essentials of shooting the boccia.
He shot all ten balls into the goal with great ease.
After letting Rongguang see the shooting action first, he began to take apart the shooting action and tell Rongguang step by step, demonstrating and talking at the same time.
After speaking, let Rong Guang go up to do the decomposition action.
But he didn't let him play, just a decomposition action of straightening his instep and hitting the ball made Rongguang repeat it for half an hour.
Glory is right next to the football, exerting its strength on the spot, making movements, but not hitting the football.
Half an hour later, he asked Rong Guang to start a full shooting practice with a soccer ball.
"Shoot these 10 balls out of the box and try to touch the ground as close to the ground as possible." Rocha pointed to the glory of the football team and said.
Rongguang followed the action he had done before and shot with his feet on goal, and soon shot all ten footballs out of the ball, but only one was a bocce ball, and the others were either high or off.
"There's a problem, Rong." Rocha waited for Glory to finish kicking and called him to him. 'You didn't look up at the goalkeeper before you shot – even though it's just a dummy standing here and the position is fixed, you still have to get into the habit of watching the goalkeeper.
Rongguang nodded: "I remember, coach." ”
"Then again."
Ten balls again.
"This time you paid attention to the position of the goalkeeper, but Rong, you have to bow your head after you finish watching the goalkeeper! When shooting, look down at the ball and be steady so that you can hit the position you want to play most accurately. ”
"I see, Coach."
"Go ahead."
Ten goals later.
"Don't choose the easiest way to hit the ball accurately. You're just sending the ball into the arms of the opposing goalkeeper! Again, try to choose the easiest area to break down, and if the goalkeeper is in the middle, you have to shoot the ball to either side of him. If he's in the near corner, try to choose the far corner! Just when he thinks you're going to shoot the far corner, you suddenly choose (see the fastest update) the near corner, so you can catch the opponent off guard! ”
Rocha stood in front of the goal and kept moving his position, thinking of himself as the goalkeeper, to explain to Rongguang how to choose the shooting area when the goalkeeper position is different.
That's it ten balls, ten balls, again and again.
Glory and Rocha train alone in the corner of the training ground, without complaining or resting, like tireless robots.
Assistant coach Mauro said to Osvaldo Oliveira: "The kid is training very seriously......"
"Isn't that normal, Mauro. If he doesn't even train seriously, what qualifications does he have to stay here? Osvaldo Oliveira asked rhetorically, looking at Rong Guang, who was finishing shooting drills again and again. He's just a rookie, he only started playing football at the age of sixteen, he's seven or eight years less than everyone else, and if he doesn't train seriously, he'll never catch up with Kaka. ”
Mauro glanced at Osvaldo.
"Do you think it's possible for him?"
Osvaldo shook his head: "I don't know what to do, so I'm curious, I want to see how far this rookie can go." ”
"I'm also curious that a rookie would defeat Kaka in vain...... But if he wasn't a rookie, maybe he wouldn't be able to say such a thing, right? Mauro also sighed.
"The ignorant are fearless. That's why I chose to put him off the bench instead of Rico or whatever. Osvaldo said. When faced with a difficult situation, those who have experience in systematic football will find it impossible. Only a rookie who doesn't know anything will not have such an idea. He may not even know how powerful Corinthians were, but he helped us defeat them. ”
Mauro smiled when he heard this: "Our set of football common sense will not work for him. Because he's a newbie! ”

Rongguang practiced shooting all day, although it was also repeated and repeated, and he had to face the constant roar of the strict coach Rocha, but Rongguang did not complain at all.
Because his whole being is very pleasant.
No matter how much he puts in this kind of training, he won't feel anything bad.
He found that he really liked to shoot, he liked the feeling of playing the soccer ball and then watching it fly into the goal.
He loves to hear the sound of the ball and the net rubbing against each other.
He likes to watch the football go around the defensive dummy goalkeeper and break through the blockade and fly into the goal.
He loves everything related to shooting.
At the end of the afternoon, he was still alone on the training ground for another 50 minutes before leaving.
Outside the parking lot, he met Lucas Sutton.
"I know you're practicing. How do you feel today? Lucas asked.
Glory elated: "I'm starting to practice shooting, Lucas!" ”
"That's fast. How's it going? With your ability to learn, it must be going well, right? ”
Glory nodded: "It's fun to shoot, Lucas!" ”
Lucas smiled: "Of course, that's the essence of football!" ”
After saying that, he took out a stack of money from the sports bag he was carrying cross-body and handed it to Rongguang.
"Thank you Kleber for the riches you have given us, Amen." He "prayed" and teased Kleber. "It's three thousand five thousand, seventy percent of five thousand. You dot. ”
The last time Rongguang saw a thick stack of money at once, it was Godot who went to his hometown to find him, and in order to persuade him to go to Brazil to play, he sold 20,000 yuan in one go, and the scene shocked Rongguang, and in the face of a bunch of colorful hundred-yuan bills, he completely lost his ability to think, and chose to play in Brazil without hesitation.
This is the second time I've seen such a thick stack of money.
He took the money: "No need, I trust you, Lucas." Do you still bet with Kleber? ”
"I'll start your next game and then go back to the youth team, with odds of 100 to 100, but he won't bet with me." Lucas's tone was full of regret.
"What about the others?" Hearing that Kleber didn't even participate, Rongguang was very sorry, and he asked unwillingly.
"Everyone else doesn't gamble anymore."
"Did I act too hard and scare them all?" Rong Guang pinched his chin and pondered why.
Then he sighed, and finally found a way to make money, but he didn't expect to make a fortune, and he couldn't play.
Kleber's ability to bear it is too bad, right?
※※※
The evening wind howled on the roof of the building, blowing Godot's clothes, and the weather in mid-March had entered early autumn, and the evening breeze was still a little cool.
Godot moved to the wall of the stairwell on the rooftop, and the wind suddenly became much lighter, and the coolness was gone. Then he stood opposite the glory of the old man: "What did you call me to come up for, Rong?" ”
Glory pointed to the soccer ball at his feet: "Practice shooting with me, Godot." The coach said that the practice of guarding in front of the goal is useful, and it is useless to shoot too many empty goals. ”
Godot glanced back at the tall buildings behind him.
Glory naturally guessed his thoughts, and he said, "Don't worry, Godot, I'm sure I'm not going to kick the football out of the air this time!" Because today I learned how to keep football down! ”
"But I'm not going to save the ball." Godot spread his hands helplessly.
Rongguang shook his head: "I don't need you to save the ball, you just stand there and don't move, I just need someone to stand there." ”
Godot nodded: "Okay, then I'll practice with you!" ”
Anyway, at home, I just watched TV, called my daughter once a week, and nothing else, and after Glory became famous, it gradually fell silent after the initial intensive phone bombardment. It's better to practice with Rongguang.
Being able to make Glory progress faster is also a good thing for him.
"Then I'll start!" Glory raised his arm in motion.
Although Godot could not keep the goal, he also sank down, spread his hands and made the posture of a goalkeeper. I can't keep the goal, but it's not hard to imitate the pose......
Anyway, he doesn't need to make a real save from bouncing around.
Godot is a big fat man with a height of 1.9 meters, standing in front of the "goal", when he spreads his arms, he almost covers half of the "goal", which is still very intimidating.
As soon as Rong Guang looked up at the goalkeeper's position and saw Godot's huge body, he was stunned for a moment - he didn't expect Godot to occupy such a space! Stretched out his hand and blocked half of the "goal"!
Because of Godot's influence, the kick that Glory kicked out of the body was weak and sent directly to Godot's feet.
Godot lifted his foot to stop the football, shook his head and said, "Your shot doesn't look like you've practiced for a day, Rong!" ”
The teacher was not good, but Rong Guang was not discouraged, he raised his hand: "Kick the ball over, Godot, just come again!" ”
So the sound of the football being kicked again and again, "come again" again and again, made the night on the rooftop seem a little hotter than it should be.
