On the second day of the competition, Rongguang enjoyed a massage from Sun Fengyang in his rented apartment.

The TV in the room was showing highlights of Manchester City's Liverpool matches, with Glory being frequently violated in front of Liverpool's penalty area.

"Debora is a little worried about you, when you keep being knocked to the ground by the other party by all means." Sun Fengyang said to Rongguang while massaging.

"Afraid I'll get hurt?" Rong Guang, who was lying on the massage table, asked.

"Hmm." Sun Fengyang said that he used a little force in his hand, and Rongguang hissed. "Pain?"

Rongguang shook his head: "It's not that pain. I'm fine, the game against Liverpool is over, and although I keep falling to the ground, it's not really a big problem, just a little bruising. ”

"But it's scary to watch." Sun Fengyang kneaded Rongguang's ankle, which was the right ankle that he had not been able to kick for eight months.

"At the end of the game, I was thinking about a question, Brother Sun." Rongguang said.

"What?"

"In these games, the opponent has used this tactic against me, and I have scored a lot fewer goals than before. I thought, is there any way I can get the opponent to foul and still score goals...... I watched Petrov's free-kick and I thought, would it be better if I could take it myself? ”

Sun Fengyang was massaging, and when he heard Rongguang say this, his hands involuntarily stopped.

The idea......

If you think about it, it's really doable!

Rongguang felt Sun Fengyang's hand stop, and he turned his head to look over: "What's wrong?" Not good? ”

"No, that's a good idea. Practicing free-kicks can give you an extra means of scoring and make it difficult for opponents to defend against you. When they know you're going to take a free-kick, they probably have to think about the consequences of fouling you when they foul you...... But how are you going to practice? Sun Fengyang asked.

"I don't know, I just have an idea now, I haven't thought about how to do it so much......" Rongguang continued to lie on the bed and let Sun Fengyang massage his ankles.

Although the team won the game, Mark Hughes retained his position and looked like he was getting better.

However, Petrov's mood did not change for the better because the team won the game.

Actually, he's pretty annoyed right now.

Because he was mentioned in the news about Manchester City's win, and it wasn't a good story......

“…… Petrov's appearance in this game would have been a joke had it not been for Young's beautiful turning volley – how many of the free-kicks he had won him in front of him had been at least? Not a single one. The one closest to scoring hit the crossbar! As City's number one free-kick taker, this is completely unreasonable......

In fact, there are not many media outlets mentioning his appearance, but it is enough to annoy Petrov.

He did have a left-footed free-kick, but for some reason, he just didn't have a bit of a free-kick in the last game against Liverpool.

finally got the state, but it hit the beam and achieved a glorious world wave.

It made him depressed.

Stimulated, he decided to add half an hour of free-kicks to the end of training.

When the training session was over, Petrov stayed on the training ground and motioned for everyone to practice their own free-kicks.

No one was surprised by his decision, as he had seen in his free-kick table in the last game.

It's not good to practice for yourself, it's also a normal thing, and no one makes a fuss.

Petrov remained on the training ground in this way.

And with him was glory.

Everyone is even less surprised that Rongguang stays - almost every day after training, Rongguang will stay and practice for at least half an hour. There are a lot of things to practice, there are shooting, there are dribbling, there are volleys, or other events, everyone is used to it, if one day Glory does not practice, it will make people feel strange......

Petrov was not surprised that Glory stayed to practice, he pulled a basket of footballs, placed them outside the penalty area, and prepared to practice free kicks.

However, today Glory did not practice his own project, and when he saw Petrov preparing to practice a free kick, he watched from the sidelines.

Petrov didn't notice the glory at first, and he followed his plan and started kicking free-kicks.

But after kicking two balls, he had to turn his attention to Glory, who was crouching not far away from him, looking down at the football he had placed on the turf......

"Uh, Honor......"

"Huh?" Glory came back to his senses and looked up at him in surprise. "What's the matter?"

"What are you doing here......

"I didn't do anything, I just looked, I wanted to see how you took the free-kick...... Hey. Rongguang scratched his head a little embarrassed, he was stealing from school, right?

"You want to learn free-kicks?" Petrov knew right away what Glory wanted to do.

"Well, sort of."

In this case, Glory suddenly appeared and said that he wanted to learn free kicks, and Petrov couldn't help but wonder if Glory was not satisfied with his last game, so he decided to simply come himself.

If Rong Guang is allowed to take a free kick, then the position of the number one free kick player in his team will be lost.

But...... It's hard to say "no" to a player of this calibre and ask for him.

Moreover, even if Rong Guang does not learn free-kicks, Petrov's current title as the team's number one free-kick taker is becoming more and more meaningless. Because he is no longer a starter, he has become a substitute, he has less playing time, and he is not the one who takes free kicks on the pitch many times.

Petrov only hesitated slightly, then nodded: "If you don't dislike my poor level, I can teach you." ”

Rongguang hurriedly waved his hand: "How can I? Your level of free kicks is very good, you were a substitute in the game the day before yesterday, and the warm-up was not very sufficient. ”

Glory explained to Petrov in all seriousness.

Hearing Glory say this, Petrov's only dissatisfaction with Glory was gone.

"I'll teach you. But I'm a left-footed player, so I can only teach you how to take a free-kick with your left foot......"

Rongguang nodded: "No problem, I can also kick with my left foot." ”

"Well, I take free-kicks mainly with the inside of my left foot to curl the ball, and I use the curling ball to go around the wall, so I do that when I kick it......"

Petrov kicked a false kick and swiped his left foot past the football.

"Do you see clearly?" He asked.

"It seems clear...... Shall I try? Glory stood in front of the football, and then, as he had observed, kicked the football, but the football flew high into the sky......

"Uh......" Glory was a little embarrassed.

Petrov laughed: "After touching the ball, the ankles should be opened outward, as if to give the ball an initial trajectory so that it can fly according to the route you have set." ...... like this"

After saying that, he really came this time, kicked the football, the football bypassed the human wall props, drew an arc in the air, and then fell into the goal.

"If you want to make the arc bigger, you have to open your ankles a little bit more...... Like this! Petrov demonstrated another kick, this time with a more pronounced arc in the air, also bypassing the wall props and flying into the goal.

Petrov explained and demonstrated in this way, and gave Rong Guang the most basic skills of kicking free kicks.

In fact, there is nothing to talk about in the skills of kicking, playing curveball, Glory has already known, and some of his shots in the game are curveball shots.

He just needs to practice it over and over again.

After half an hour of learning from Petrov, Glory was able to kick a free kick decently.

It's just that he still needs to practice diligently.

"There's really no trick to free-kicks, it's just practice until you remember it." Petrov made a kicking motion as he spoke, kicking the ball towards the goal. "Kick repeatedly, practice repeatedly, and your body will remember this movement."

Glory is best at repetitive training, so when he heard that the way to practice free kicks is to repeat and repeat and repeat - this is easy to do!

At first, he thought that there would be some special skills that would be difficult to learn.

Now it seems that it is as easy as learning to shoot.

"Oh, by the way, there are a few tricks...... In training, if you don't have a wall as a reference, then you look for the four corners of the goal, these four corners are the most difficult place for the goalkeeper to save, as long as you can kick the football to these four corners and hit the frame of the goal, then the goal rate can be said to be 100%! Those four corners are theoretically dead ends! ”

Hearing Petrov's words, Glory's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at the goal, his gaze moving back and forth on the four corners of the goal.

Theoretical blind spots......

Rong Guang stared at it, as if he wanted to keep the position relationship of these four corners firmly in his mind.

After returning home, Rongguang was concerned about the progress of the construction of his villa, and Debora was still a little strange: "I remember you said that it is not easy for three people to live in such a big villa......

Glory did say so.

Although it was kindly given to him by Mansour, Glory always felt that this villa was too exaggerated.

How is it possible to use so many rooms yourself?

So the villa that made countless people drool, he didn't care very much.

He thinks it's good to be neighbors with Sun Hai like this, and with Sun Hai's help in the past few months, he and Debora have integrated into Manchester's life very smoothly, and Sun Hai will tell him which places are convenient for shopping, which restaurants are good and the environment is good, and there are many details to help.

The two families also often dine together.

I think it's good to have a glorious life.

"Yes, but the house here...... There are no football fields. Rong Guang said.

"What are you going to practice again?" Debora knew what he was going to do as soon as she heard Glory talk about the football field.

"I learned free kicks with Petrov today." Rongguang said. He says the trick to practising free-kicks is to practice them over and over again until your body remembers them. So I need a field where I can practice free-kicks. ”

"Oh, I'll go tomorrow to see the progress of the project, it's said to be being renovated, it's almost finished." Debora said.

"Alright, let's move."

In order to improve himself, Rongguang really doesn't want to delay for a minute now.
