Competitive sports have always been a cruel place, the scenery and splendor are always the characters at the top of the pyramid, and most of the rest of the people exist only to set off the greatness of the people at the top of the pyramid. For example, the world-famous NBA basketball league has a total of almost 450 players, and these 450 players are among the best basketball players in the world or the United States, but in the NBA, there are always about 430 players to set off about 20 players, these 20 people are called stars, of which 10 people are called superstars, and about 5 people are called top superstars. Not to mention football, the largest number of competitors on the planet, is even more brutal, and the competition here is even more fierce in all aspects, and the phenomenon of strength has reached the extreme.

And Lao Lei, a newcomer to the first team, when he first came up, the original first-team players would not be too enthusiastic about you. The reason is that you haven't shown your quality, your value, maybe after a few games, you'll go back to the youth team and leave the team to go to the lower leagues. As professionals, they've seen a lot of these things. The performance of Lao Lei in this confrontation is a ticket to enter their circle.

Lao Lei's excellent performance gave them the motivation to contact Lao Lei, so that Lao Lei really began to have his own place in the first team. During the training time that followed, Ray began to get to know the Leiria football team really well. Ben Arnold, the steady and good old captain, the bold and righteous vice-captain Railo, the taciturn old door god Lemato, the narrow-minded sissy Silas, and so on.

In the following training, Mourinho did not arrange a heavy training volume, arranged some very light training with the ball, and some small-scale cooperation, especially in order to increase the tactical cooperation between Lao Lei and the team. Jose Mourinho has never been naïve enough to rely on Lao Lei to run and kill the Portuguese Super League team alone, and a big part of his focus today is how to cooperate with his teammates to press and control the opponent's first and second passing points. It's a pity that the time is short, the first game of the new season will start the day after tomorrow, and Mourinho can only do his best to resign himself to fate.

Soon Lao Lei's first normal first team day passed, even when Devil's Week was over, and when he went home, Lao Lei was habitually ready to run home with the ball. Just when Lao Lei left the locker room, Mourinho stopped Lao Lei, and when he saw the football Lao Lei was holding in his arms, a trace of satisfaction and relief flashed in his eyes.

Mourinho called Lao Lei to his office and said: "Lei Ma did not relax because of the end of the special training, I am very happy. Your potential is much more than that, you can achieve a lot of things, but of course it takes you to continue to work hard. To get back to the point, I called you to tell you that if you want to be the main player of the team now, there is still a little shortcoming, that is, your experience. Reima, you have so little experience, I understand that even when you were in the youth team, you didn't play much in a year. This will make you in the Portuguese Super League, when you encounter problems, you don't know how to deal with it. It's not possible for me to solve all the problems. Football is a sport full of accidents, and a single mistake can cost you an entire game or even a season's effort. ”

After speaking, Mourinho looked at Lao Lei, Lao Lei did not have any expression on his face, in fact, Lao Lei had long known this problem, as if it was a famous sentence in the NBA "rookie, welcome to the NBA". However, Lao Lei thought to himself that since Mourinho brought up this problem, then he must have a way to teach himself. So Lao Lei seemed very calm.

Sure enough, after a while, Mourinho spoke up and said, "Reima, I have something for you here." As he spoke, he took out a thick stack of CDs from the cabinet on his desk and put them in front of Lao Lei. Lao Lei thought to himself that this is a classic action movie from the head coach's collection, and I want to discuss it with myself, I like hehe. Without waiting for Ray's lewd thoughts to think about it, Mourinho continued: "Reimaa is very similar to AC Milan's midfielder Gnaro Ivan Gattuso at the moment. The same is plenty of physical strength and fierce defense, unyielding character. However, he rarely fouls maliciously, so he rarely goes off foul. Here are some highlights from his game, and I need you to learn how he defends and how to control his movements. I don't want you to be a yellow card pro, the team needs to work hard for a long time. Do you understand? “

Lao Lei looked at Mourinho solemnly in front of him, and nodded seriously. Then Mourinho encouraged him to walk out of his office. Lao Lei recalled Mourinho's words, and he also agreed with it in his heart, after all, his style of play is fierce and it is easy to pay attention to physical contact, and if you don't pay attention to control, you will get cards. Even in the tasks of the system, there is no task that can be completed just by fighting or something, and there is a premise that you are not sent off.

Immersed in his own thoughts, Lao Lei slowly returned home with the ball. After dinner, Lao Lei went back to his room, turned on the computer, and began to read the CDs. On the computer screen appeared a vicious-looking young midfielder who never tired of running, often sticking to the opposing attacking players like gummy, waiting for an opportunity to steal, and then quickly launching his own attack, and with very clean feet, never relying on malicious fouls to stop the opponent's attack. His skills are a little rough at his feet, so he rarely carries the ball on the pitch and often passes it quickly, not letting his weaknesses disrupt the rhythm of the team.

Lao Lei also agrees with Mourinho's words in his heart, he is indeed very imaginary with this Gattuso, with the same rough skills and the same characteristics. But there are still differences, according to Lao Lei's thoughts, he may have a larger range of movement than Gattuso, but he is rougher in the details of his movements, and Gattuso is crisp and clean. And Gattuso has incorporated his defense into the overall defensive system very well, which due to time reasons, Lao Lei has been outside the overall defense.

Looking at Gattuso's running and movements, there is no doubt that he is more purposeful, smarter, and more efficient than a rookie. Lao Lei has to say that for now, this Gattuso is stronger than himself, of course, this is on the premise that he has not started the devil's muscular man skills, in the case of opening, Lao Lei himself has to say that he is obviously an animal in that state, ** wear it outside.

Lao Lei was stumped, and he looked at Gattuso's video with a little bad effect. There are some places that are running, and the current old Lei is a little incomprehensible. Lao Lei lamented that he lacked a teacher. Maybe you have to know Lao Lei's difficulties, and at this time the system is shining again. "Ding, congratulations to the host for opening the mentor teaching function, which is the same as the player's personal training function, once a day, for four hours at a time. Hosts are welcome to use this feature. Since this feature is enabled for the first time, the reward host can choose the first mentor at their own discretion. “

After hearing the prompt of the system, Lao Lei thought that this was really timely rain, what did he want. Lao Lei immediately climbed into his bed, entered the system and began to use this function for the first time. After clicking on the mentoring function, the system will make a sound: "In this function, you can spend 50 soul points to select a mentor immediately, or you can spend 100 soul points to identify a mentor." Since the host is using it for the first time, the tutor can be identified once for free. “

Lao Lei thought about it in his heart, and he was a little relieved to save 100 soul points, which was already more than his own debt, but unfortunately he couldn't exchange it for a ready-made 100 soul points. I have to say that Lao Lei really has the character of a typical unsatisfied character. Lao Lei thought about the choice of his mentor, and thought of the protagonist of the disc he just watched, so he opened his mouth to talk about "Genaro Ivan Gattuso". The system replied with a voice: "Name confirmed, Gnaro Ivan Gattuso is really generated, please wait." “

After a while, Lao Lei's eyes flashed white, and then the live-action version of Gattuso appeared in front of Lao Lei. Although Lao Lei had long known that the system had great powers, he still couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the vicious-looking Gattuso in front of him, this is a real person, and it is very expensive, 100 soul points.

Gattuso looked at the old thunder in front of him, and said loudly, "Please choose what you want to learn, and then start the tutor-assisted course." Gattuso's voice recalled Lao Lei's somewhat distant soul, and after Lao Lei came back to his senses, he thought about it and said: "Let's start with the choice of action and timing when defending individuals." “

Then the training began, first Gattuso asked Lao Lei to do a personal defense first. Gattuso waved his hand, and a player who looked like a white European appeared, and it seemed that this was the object of Lao Lei's training. The training began at the command of Gattuso.

Lao Lei looked at the white player who was slowly approaching him with the ball in front of him, and stepped forward with an arrow to seek physical contact with this white player. However, Lao Lei's intention was too obvious, the white player changed direction with an emergency stop, and as soon as the ball stopped and deducted, he was about to pass Lao Lei. Although Lao Lei relied on his good physical fitness, forcibly reversed his center of gravity, immediately leaned on the white player, relied on his body to squeeze, forced the white player to make a mistake, and thus broke the football.

When Gattuso saw this, he stopped the training. came to Lao Lei's side and said: "From just now, your defense relies too much on your physical fitness and lacks skill. If you come across an attacking player with a similar level of physical fitness, you're likely to get a one-step pass, and if you're supposed to be the last defender at this point, it's going to be a one-on-one shot. You should be more skillful. You see me do it once. “

Immediately Gattuso himself began to defend the white player, and Old Ray watched Gattuso's defensive movements. Gattuso didn't rush forward at the beginning, but waited until the white players approached on their own, and then it was time to get some distance from Gattuso. Gattuso began to retreat in small steps backwards, and this back was slower than the white player's advance. When the distance was close enough that Gattuso could block the main direction of the white player's advance, he suddenly became ferocious, first leaning against the white player with his body, and then breaking the ball with his feet.

After it was over, Gattuso came to Lao Lei, looked at Lao Lei and said, "Do you see clearly?" When it comes to individual defenses, your most important task is to reduce the opponent's attacking space and opportunities, and to slow down the opponent's attack speed during the game to gain time for your teammates to return. Of course, this is just a way to deal with it, and this is a more secure approach. If the opponent is a dangerous player, then the best way to do it is to take a small foul method and destroy the opponent's offensive opportunities. Okay, then, you try again. ”

In this way, Lao Lei devoted himself to defensive training. Before I knew it, 4 hours, and it was over. In Gattuso's goodbye wave, Lao Lei left the system's training space. Thinking back to the training content, I thought to myself that I was still far behind. However, at this time, the system came to the system's prompt again, saying that Lao Lei's broken ball and stuck position increased by 5 points. This is an unexpected joy, with this joy, Lao Lei is ready to meet Robin again, the new season of the game is about to start, or strengthen the running ability.

Tomorrow is the last day of the new season, I am really looking forward to it, Lao Lei thought to himself.
