Chapter 8 The Changing Situation

On Friday morning, Jingxuan arrived at the training ground early in the morning, half an hour earlier than Mancini's scheduled arrival time. Jingxuan also came to the training ground early because she was afraid of any accidents.

"I'm going to train with world-class stars such as Ibrahimovic, Cambiasso and Figo soon, so I guess it's the No.1 in the history of Chinese football, right?

I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing after time travel, it is really blessed by heaven. "

Jingxuan was still sighing, but with a "bang!", a football flew onto his butt from nowhere.

"Damn, it hurts!"

Jingxuan cursed, and looked back, it was actually Mancini!

This old man came quite early, Jingxuan thought.Although I don't know whether my performance on the court can impress this guy, but at least I have a good attitude and seem very positive.

"Young man, it's quite early! When you train, you must be prepared for physical confrontation and don't get injured."

Soon, as luxury cars that made Jingxuan drooling and couldn't even call out the license plate drove up, the big-name players of Inter Milan came to the training ground.

"Cambiasso, my idol!"

Jingxuan instinctively wanted to go up and ask for an autograph, but only after taking a step did she realize that she was here for training.

Facing Cambiasso who was walking past him with some doubts, Jingxuan felt as if he was dreaming.

It is very difficult to have such close contact with world-class stars in China.

However, Jingxuan was a little regretful that Ibrahimovic did not appear on the training ground. It was said that he took two days off and might not show up on the day of the game.

In the morning, Jingxuan was arranged to practice laps with midfielders such as Stankovic, Cambiasso and Dacourt.

To be honest, this group of stars gave Jingxuan the feeling that he has a particularly strong body, quick movements, and solid basic skills.

Don’t look at Stankovic’s skills on TV, but today when Jingxuan played pass with him, he felt that the opponent’s skills are so delicate,
There is a lot of work under his feet. With his skills, he is at least two grades better than the main midfielders of the national team.

The training in the afternoon has turned into a group confrontation, and today's exercise is the game tactics against Palermo, the opponent of the weekend.Jingxuan was placed in the position of the substitute midfielder.

Of course, this is also Mancini's intention. After all, he needs Jingxuan to feel the rhythm and intensity of the Serie A game in order to decide whether he will really play in the game.

Working with these world-class players on the court, Jingxuan really did his best.

His running, technique, and sense of position are all adequate, although he has not fully adapted to the high-intensity game rhythm, resulting in a slight hesitation and unreasonable handling of the ball when he encounters a press.

Of course, these are normal phenomena, but what really annoys Jingxuan is the physical confrontation.

After the training match in the afternoon, when he returned to the locker room, he found that his body was bruised and purple.

After all, he is not yet 17 years old, and he is still at a disadvantage in competing with strong adults. In today's competition, he was hit several times and staggered and almost fell.

For example, no matter how good your ball handling skills are, others only need to collide with you within the allowed range of the rules. When your body loses balance, it is naturally easy to lose control of the ball.

After a whole day of training, Jingxuan has a general understanding of her current level:
If he wants to start the game for 90 minutes, he can't do it with his current physical confrontation ability and physical fitness. After all, the position of the defensive midfielder requires too much physical fitness.

But if he just comes off the bench and fights on the court for half an hour, he can barely do it.

This is Jingxuan's evaluation of himself. Of course, the head coach Mancini and his team also have a general evaluation of Jingxuan:

Excellent consciousness, excellent technique, excellent pass control, thin body, lack of physical fitness, and not calm enough to handle the ball on the court.

Mancini closed his notebook and sighed:

"The potential is not bad. If you train well, you may become the main force of the team in the future, but now you can only play with the wind."

At night, Jingxuan lay alone in the player dormitory of the Pinettina base and couldn't sleep. He was worried that he would not be able to get a chance to play with his performance today.

After all, the club will have some young players like him promoted to the first team every year.

If you don't seize the opportunity to perform well, maybe you won't have another chance in the future.

Jingxuan lay on the bed bored, unconsciously touching Yuanpan with his hand.

For more than a year, because of the system opened by Yuanpan, his various football attributes have been steadily improving.

But today he couldn't wait any longer, so he took out the disk and activated the "Aspirations Football" system.

Looking at the "Body Strengthening" button that has never been tried before, Jingxuan clicked it without hesitation.

"Are you sure to turn on the body strengthening mode?"

There are two options of "yes" and "no" under the question popped up by the system. Jingxuan is already 16 years old, so he directly chooses

"Yes"

When he pressed the button, a voice sounded in his head:
"Enhanced body mode is on."

Then, he felt himself enveloped by a burst of red light, unable to move his body.

Then there was a tingling sensation, and then the body muscles began to become more and more tense.

Finally he felt the pain, as if his body was being held tightly by a rope.

Later, he lost consciousness directly.

A ray of warm sunlight hit Jingxuan's face, he felt a little hot, so he opened his eyes.

He tried hard to recall what happened last night, and touched the disc with his hand on the bed.

"Why am I in a coma? I just slept like this all night?"

Jingxuan got out of bed in doubt, and looked at the clock on the wall.

"Damn! It's a quarter past eight!"

There are only 45 minutes left in the training time required by the head coach, and he has not washed and eaten breakfast.

So Jingxuan hurried to the bathroom to wash up, then rushed to the cafeteria, swallowed two pieces of bread in a hurry, and rushed to the training ground.

Everyone seems to have arrived early today. When Jingxuan rushed to the training ground, he found that the head coach Mancini was already standing on the sidelines giving lectures.

Jingxuan nervously walked to the side of the team. Mancini glanced at him and said nothing.

The training on Saturday morning is still mainly about the confrontation match. After the warm-up, the players are divided into two teams to play the confrontation match.

Faced with the physical confrontation with Adriano, Jingxuan obviously didn't want to confront him head-on.

The painful shoulder bruise from being hit by Stankovic yesterday is still not healed. If I play a few more times with the heavier Adriano today, I may fall apart.

But there is no way, for the future, he must grit his teeth and persevere.

Adriano received a pass from Cambiasso and wanted to take the ball forward in the frontcourt. Jingxuan had no choice but to confront him.

Surprisingly, he wasn't knocked down, didn't feel too much pain, and wasn't even bounced off by Ade's strong body.

"What's the situation?"

Jingxuan was puzzled, but he didn't have time to think in the blink of an eye, so he could only stick to it to defend. Although Ade still shot the ball into the net in the end, Jingxuan didn't suffer too much after touching his body several times. many.

Similar scenes appeared many times throughout the morning training, and even the head coach Mancini felt puzzled,

I don't understand how this young man's physical resistance ability has improved so much overnight.

Facing the physical confrontation with Stankovic yesterday, he still seemed to be staggering, but today he can fight Adriano hard.

In this state, there should be no problem in the game.

But the good times didn't last long. In the last transition of offense and defense in the training match in the morning, Jingxuan was knocked down by his defense team while stepping on the ball. He staggered and fell to the ground, spraining his right ankle.

Seeing Jingxuan who fell to the ground in pain, the coach on the sidelines stopped the game.When the team doctor checked Jingxuan, he was initially confirmed to have a sprained ankle.

But the specific degree of sprain, need to go to the hospital for examination.

As the team doctor slowly helped Jingxuan off the field with one foot on the ground, Mancini's eyes showed disappointment, and he could only pat Jingxuan on the shoulder, comforting him to go down and recover from his injuries.
