Soccer Super Marksman

After Cui Zhen reached the top of the World Youth Championship, he joined Manchester United Football Club, and everything seemed to be going very smoothly.

But everything didn't seem to be developing on the expected track. Cui Zhen had to adapt to the pre-season preparations for nearly half a month, and left due to injury in the first minute of his debut in England.

There must be some media in the outside world who are throwing stones at him, and some football critics will even label Cui Zhen as a parallel importer, thinking that Manchester United has made a bad acquisition.

Blindly believe in the "magic" performance of the young rookie in the World Youth Championship.

Maybe his magic is just luck, just the occasional flash of light.When he came to England, he showed his true colors.

Cui Zhen returned to Jason's apartment. Due to Jason's professional nature, he is almost out of the country all year round.

He lay on the bed and entered the system. The system re-planned the content of his future training based on his current situation, and at the same time proposed corresponding physical therapy methods to help Cui Zhen get out of the injury faster.

Cui Zhen changed into casual clothes after finishing these and went to have dinner.

Living in a high-end community in Manchester, Cui Zhen will regularly patronize a mid-to-high-end restaurant outside the community.

He likes the quiet environment there, and the restaurant is full of people every time he eats.He can sit alone in a corner without being disturbed.

Today, Cui Zhen held the fork and did not start it for a long time.He was reminiscing about games, thinking about English football.

Cui Zhen felt that he was a bit overbearing before the injury, thinking that he knew English football, even after Rooney reminded him before, but in fact that reminder did not represent any real point.

Be careful?
What are you looking out for?

Thinking about it now, this injury made Cui Zhen roughly understand the difficulty of English football for technical players.

Why are some well-known players able to thrive in Serie A or La Liga, but they can't move an inch in the Premier League.Maybe it's the aggressiveness of the Premier League when you can't tell whether the opponent is rushing the ball or rushing!
The defense in the Italian arena is not focused on grabbing the ball, so that technical players have room to control the ball. As for whether they can break through, it is a sword and shield.

However, in England, the overall rhythm is faster, the coverage of the player's running area is higher, and the aggressiveness of taking the initiative to grab the ball leaves less time for you to handle the ball.

But if it is a competition that is absolutely within the rules, Cui Zhen should be more comfortable.

Because the opponent is rushing up and grabbing, you can strike and get rid of the opponent in a split second!

Cui Zhen thought the same way before, until the moment he was kicked and injured by Elliott!
Yes, the opponents here will easily lose their center of gravity and press up. Ideally, as long as they control the ball and turn around, it is easy to get rid of the opponent in an instant.

But the opponent is aiming at you, not the ball at your feet.Then you can ensure that the opponent cannot touch the ball, but you cannot prevent your body from being violated by the opponent!

Of course not all opponents will do this, but how do you know that the opponent in front of you is absolutely rushing to the ball?

With such concerns.Psychology will subconsciously protect.

It is very dangerous in the England arena if you want to stop silently and strike later. You may pay the price of being violated by your opponent and injured.

The knuckles of the index finger of his left hand tapped his forehead rhythmically. Cui Zhen still hadn't touched the food on the plate. His conclusion of thinking told himself that he needed to change his game habits.

The previous habit of waiting for the opponent to come up to grab and expose the defensive flaws before breaking through must be changed.Or refer to the successful striker here.

Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool play in a wide range of styles, and they seldom make delicate breakthrough changes in possession. Why?
Because they know how to avoid getting into entanglements with their opponents.

Don't wait for the opponent to stand in front of you to grab. Before that, if you want to break through, you should break through decisively in advance. If you want to pass the ball, pass the ball immediately and then run.

Absolutely, never give your opponent a chance to get close, otherwise you will be waiting for unknowns, not you can pass your opponent with extraordinary skills.

"Sir, are you dissatisfied with your dinner?"

Cui Zhen's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and he turned to look at the speaker.

He saw a black waiter. The reason why Cui Zhen likes this restaurant is not only the quiet dining environment and good food, but also the service here.

The waiters here are uniformly dressed, with spotless vest shirts, neat bow ties, and a classic British butler style.

The black man looks to be in his 40s, with a soft complexion. The first impression he gives is that he is polite and considerate.

Cui Zhen shook her head slightly, not because she was dissatisfied with the dinner.

The black waiter smiled and said, "I noticed that your leg was injured, did it affect your dining mood?"

Cui Zhen looked down at his left calf, and said softly: "Mood? It should be very complicated. When you experience a morning full of expectations, you are ridiculed and humiliated by thousands of people in the afternoon, and then you are not worthy of being injured in full view. yes, hehehe"

When Cui Zhen saw that the black waiter put away his smile, his face became serious instead, with a trace of respect in his eyes.

He could tell that Cui Zhen didn't take the experience he said to heart, which belonged to an optimistic and positive black humor.

Cui Zhen stared at him and asked, "Your expression seems to tell me that you know who I am."

The black waiter nodded and said: "When I was a child, I smuggled to Manchester with my family. It is a gathering place for immigrants. I became a fan when I was a teenager. I read the news and knew that you are a player of Manchester United Football Club. But I don't know what happened in the game in the afternoon. I apologize for what happened to you, but I can see that your mentality is very good and admirable. As the saying goes: Life always scars us all over the body, but when Later, those wounded places will surely become our strongest places!"

Cui Zhen raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and thought carefully about the last sentence the black waiter said.

He asked curiously: "This sentence is great! Who said it?"

"Hemingway." The black waiter replied with a smile.

Cui Zhen stood up and stretched out his hand to the black waiter, introducing himself, "Cui Zhen, nice to meet you."

"Erwin Williams, it's a pleasure to serve you."

Cui Zhen sat down again and said with a smile: "Erwin, your temperament makes people feel that you should be a teacher."

Erwin Williams shook his head with a smile and said: "As a person who has been in prison, it is impossible for me to teach others, and I do not have a high level of cultural accomplishment."

Cui Zhen looked slightly surprised, and immediately said: "Your mentality is also very good, there should not be many people who can frankly say that they have been imprisoned."

Elvin Williams nodded and said: "Yes, but I don't care about the eyes of others. Once I was imprisoned for burglary. When I was in prison, I got the bad news of my mother's death. Her last words were to let me be a good person. From then on, I began to study in prison, hoping to rest my mother in heaven."

"Reading makes me calm, and it also makes me re-examine myself every day, and be a man worthy of making my mother proud. I don't care what others think of me, as the saying goes: be better than others, It’s not noble, the real nobility should be better than your past self.”

Cui Zhen's eyes flickered, recalling what Erwin Williams said again.

"Hemingway?"

Elvin Williams said with a smile: "I suggest that you still eat dinner. Athletes have very high dietary requirements, and then I will tell you the answer."

Cui Zhen laughed dumbfounded, picked up the plate and handed it to Erwin Williams, saying, "Just heat it up."

Erwin Williams gracefully bowed to take the plate, and said to Cui Zhen before leaving: "You guessed it right, it was written by Hemingway in "True Nobility", I like his book very much, If you want, I can share my thoughts with you."

Cui Zhen nodded and said, "My honor."

Seeing Erwin Williams leave with steady steps, Cui Zhen's mood, which was not depressed before, suddenly seemed to get better.

He kept muttering to himself.

"Where it hurts, it becomes the strongest. The true nobility is better than your old self!"

Cui Zhen walked back to the apartment after dinner, when his cell phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was Lei Tianjiao calling.

"Hey, I just found out that you were injured in the game, is it important?"

"Just a small injury, it will heal in a few days. How are you?"

"Well, good, I miss you! Also, you have to take good care of your injuries, and don't pay attention to what the media writes in the newspapers, they are all talking nonsense, you are the best"

Cui Zhen couldn't help laughing, it was just a minor injury, if he was so weak that he couldn't bear it, he would not be able to gain a firm foothold in Chinese football, nor would he be able to achieve astonishing achievements.

After hanging up the phone with Lei Tianjiao, Cui Zhen returned to the apartment to rest early.
