Chapter 193: Receiving "Disciples" and Sorting Out (2)
"Fouls, Michael, remember that you can't rely on physical advantage, Lex is only 17 years old, use your anticipation and defensive awareness. This time it failed, and it started for the 12th time. After a series of irritable Essien used his body to carry Chelsea academy youngster Lex down and break the ball, the assistant coach on the side immediately made his own decision. Faced with this result, the irritation on Esin's big black face deepened a little. Obviously, he was quite unhappy with his current results, but there was nothing good to do.
However, Essien is not a person who cannot afford to lose, and has not made any shameless moves against the assistant coach's decision. "Humph!" After snorting coldly, he reached out and pulled Lex up from the ground, and said sorry stupidly. It seemed that he himself felt very embarrassed, and when facing the 17-year-old Lex, he relied on his physical advantage to stop him.
"It's not that I can't afford to lose, it's not bad." After seeing this scene, Lao Lei, who had been gloating on the side, showed a look of approval at this time. At least in terms of personality, Lao Lei is still relatively satisfied with Essien so far, which makes him more pleasing to the eye. But one yard to one yard, the identity of the character will not have any impact on Lao Lei's evaluation of Essien.
So far, Essien's competition has been carried out, and his general characteristics and shortcomings have almost been understood by Lao Lei. Compared to the detail=information about Essien that Mourinho gave him, he had a deeper understanding of Essien. Overall, Lao Lei's assessment of Essien is still good, a good enough and practical midfield sweeper.
In the eyes of Lao Lei. Essien is like a young version of Gattuso who has strengthened his body but is slightly lacking in awareness and ball intelligence. Or in layman's terms. It's just that Essien is too rough compared to Gattuso. Essien, who relied too much on physical gifts on the pitch, lacked adequate training and development in terms of awareness. And, judging by the results of this competition. It shouldn't be that the coach who trained him was not responsible, but that he himself was too confident in his talent and didn't put much effort into it.
Admittedly, even so, the current Essien is enough to play the main force of the decision in most teams. But if this team is Chelsea, at least in Lao Lei's personal opinion, Essien is still a big gap from Chelsea's main position. "Not to mention taking Claude's (Makelle) place, this kid is still far away." Thinking of Mourinho's expectations for Essien, Lao Lei couldn't help but comment in his heart.
Essien's stumbling defensive contest was soon over. And it can be seen from the ugly face of the Ghanaian when he came off the field that his results should not even be ideal, but very bad. Facing a 17-year-old academy player, even with many restrictions, the dilemma of only succeeding in 20 defendings only 7 times still makes the proud Ghana beast face hot.
"Hmm! It's my turn. Looking at Essien, who was depressed, Lao Lei walked towards the arena with a smug smile on his face, and said gracefully. It's so light-hearted. Without any pressure, he once again earned a heavy snort from Essien. Looking at Lao Lei's back, which was still a little unfavorable, Essien's face revealed a look that we would see. Obviously, even Lao Lei has already made a name for himself. But he also doesn't think that Lao Lei, who still has an injury in his right foot, can do better than himself.
"Watch Reima's movements, boy, he's the best midfielder in the world right now. Forget what those media and newspapers say about him. Let's take a closer look at how exactly he did it. After seeing Essien's disapproving disdain, the assistant coach on the side couldn't help but kindly remind. In his opinion. Although Lao Lei has always been admired by the world, he is more of an amazing performance on the offensive end. But Lao Lei's defensive skills are not weaker than any defensive master. If it weren't for Chelsea's need for Ray to focus more on attack, his defensive talent would not be the only one he currently has on the pitch.
The assistant coach had a proud tone, which made Essien stunned. He is not a fool, if Lao Lei does not really have any superhuman skills, the assistant coach will not have this bowing attitude at all. "I'm going to see how far you can go." Although he had a vague guess about the results of the test at this time, the dissatisfaction in his heart still did not decrease in the slightest. However, although he thought so, his attitude had changed greatly from before, and he became extremely serious looking at Lao Lei's figure.
"Come on, Willian, 20 goals. Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you don't want to make a fool of yourself, try your best at first. Even if it's a training competition, I won't let go of water in the slightest. After coming to the court, Lao Lei put away his playful look, his face became extremely serious, and his body exuded a stern aura of doing his best.
Aura, or temperament, is a very mysterious thing that cannot be seen or touched. But no one can deny its existence, the aura of the leader can be convincing and followable, and the temperament of a big star can overwhelm everyone and attract thousands of eyes...... And on the football field, there is also a temperament and aura. For example, in the match between Manchester United and Newcastle in '01, Keane and Shearer, two undisputed bigwigs in their respective teams, clashed together. Although, in the end, Keane received a red card for his irrationality and was sent off.
But Shearer, who is also known for his strong personality, behaved like a well-behaved cat at St James' Park, and did not dare to make any moves during the entire conflict, even in the face of Keane's choke. The Red Devils' fierce and obedient aura made the legendary goalscorer in England's history dare not make any moves. You could say that Keane has no athletic ethic, or you can say that he is a butcher without a brain. But no one can deny that not many people can dare to play tricks on Keane on the football field. And it is Keane's aura that makes him inviolable in football, thus making him the legendary captain and leader of the Red Devils.
Therefore, on the football field, some people are born with the ability to use guò aura to turn opponents into soft-footed shrimp. It doesn't matter if it's an offensive player or a defensive player.
And at this time Lao Lei. Even though he is only 23 years old, he has had an extraordinary career and his maverick personality in recent years. has also given him an aura that can overwhelm others. Perhaps his current aura is not as good as Maradona, who scared all defensive players at the beginning, but it is more than enough to face an 18-year-old academy player.
Facing Lao Lei's fierce aura like a hungry tiger pounced on food, William, who was still eager to try and excited, suddenly cringed in his heart. Whenever he took a step closer to Lao Lei, he felt like he had taken the initiative to take a step forward in Lao Lei's mouth, and this feeling of self-surrender not only made him lose his confidence that he could do any action freely, but also made him hesitate to choose technical moves.
At last. Perhaps it was the young man's unwillingness to give in to his flesh that made him still try to give it his all. But his changes are completely under Lao Lei's control. The more disadvantaged people win, the more simplistic and crude decisions they make tend to be easy to judge. This is the same as William at this time, in the face of Lao Lei's stern formation, he put the football to Lao Lei's right foot, and then started with all his strength, trying to take advantage of the shortcomings of Lao Lei's right foot to directly force acceleration and overtake.
There is nothing wrong with such a choice of direction. But how could Lao Lei, who knew that his right leg was inconvenient, not prepared. If William had been a little more patient and made some unexpected changes, perhaps he could have succeeded. But he chose this simple and crude, pure speed method. This is too simple for the current old Lei, and the level is too low. If he had allowed William to break through himself, he wouldn't have achieved what he is now. All the hard work of the system and reality is completely useless.
I saw that when William had just dialed the football to the right hand of Lao Lei. Lao Lei, who was under the gaze of everyone at the scene, seemed to know William's movements in advance, and turned forward with a swift turn almost at the same time. He suddenly got stuck in front of Willian, who had not yet stepped forward, and completely separated him from football. The whole process is relaxed and natural, with a natural and effortless aesthetic.
Without a doubt, it was a very successful and beautiful defense. "Nice break, one success, good job Reima. And William, lad, come on! Don't let Reimaa succeed so easily, if you can show you well in the future, I can even recommend you to Mr. Mourinho personally. Come on, if you can disgrace Reima, so much the better. After seeing Lao Lei's beautiful success, the assistant coach on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud. However, he not only praised Old Ray, but also encouraged William. As a veteran of Chelsea, he also hopes that a youth player like Willian can take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn something from Lao Lei.
At this time, it was Essien who was the most silent. His mind kept replaying what Lao Lei had just done, and he seemed to have some understanding in his heart. At this time, there was no longer the previous dissatisfaction and depression in his eyes, but only a strong desire to learn and a trace of surprise or amazement. This turn seems to be easy and natural, but only those who know how much sweat it takes to train and how strong the player's self-confidence and sense of prediction are.
"It's a bit savvy, and it's another plus." Looking at Essien, who was deep in thought on the sidelines, Lao Lei couldn't help but say in his heart.
Then the next 19 defenses came.
William pedaled the bicycle, and Lao Lei was as unmoved as a mountain. It wasn't until William couldn't help but kick out that Lao Lei gently stretched out his foot and accurately stabbed the football under William's feet. Just like the first time, it was natural and easy, and it didn't take any effort. At this time, on Lao Lei's body, Essien even saw a hint of elegance.
Deep-fried croquettes, stretch out your feet and poke them off.
Continuous heel knock over people, stretch out their feet to block, people pass, but the ball can't.
Marseille swirled, poked his toes again, the ball stopped, and the man fell.
………
At this time, Lao Lei's figure seemed to turn into an elegant dancer in the eyes of everyone. In the blink of an eye, as soon as they stopped, they stopped the football.
At the feet of Lao Lei, the defense seemed to have become a work of art at this moment, which was amazing.
"By the end, Reima had all 20 successes. But don't be too ...... William."
Just as the assistant coach went to comfort William, Old Ray walked up to Essien, who had a stunned expression.
With a hint of a ruffian, he said, "Boy, you are far from enough." ”
The confidence in the words is like a sharp sword!
Awesome!! (To be continued......) R1292
