Chapter 8 Shooting
Passing and catching training is the basis of Brazilian football training and the most important technical training item. After learning it, it will be practiced frequently.Even the current youth teams below Sao Paulo will arrange two special passing and receiving training sessions every week.

The coach will adopt a variety of running passing and catching methods to train the players' ability to pass and catch the ball continuously during running, and require the players to run quickly for continuous one-foot passing during the passing and catching training.This kind of training method is effective for cultivating Brazilian style short pass coordination.

But that is advanced training content.

What Rongguang needs to do now is the most basic passing and receiving training.

He and Lucas stood opposite each other, passing the ball to each other.

There is no need to run back and forth, whether it is passing or receiving the ball, it is standing still.

In a square space of ten yards (about nine meters) by ten yards, Rong Guang and Lucas passed the ball to each other. The first pass was the simplest, but it was also the most commonly used pass-the inside of the foot.

Pushing is the most reliable technique for delivering accurate close-in ground balls.When passing the ball, turn the kicking foot outward and align the part of the shoe that touches the ball with the ball at the correct angle.The ankle needs to be tense and hard, or you won't be able to control the direction of the pass.And in order not to kick the football into the air, when the sneakers touch the ball, they should try to hit the horizontal center line of the football.

The supporting foot should be positioned far enough from the side of the ball to allow free swing of the kicking leg.

The action of catching the ball on the inside of the foot is also very simple. It is the same as pushing and passing, except that one is hitting the ball and the other is unloading the ball.At this time, the effect of Rongguang's repeated practice of juggling the ball is reflected.

After the practice of juggling the ball, he has become accustomed to the feeling of retracting his feet and cushioning when he touches the ball.After the ball is buffered, the football must be bounced up again immediately. It is unnecessary to catch the ball, buffer and unload the ball, and just stop the football directly.

So for Rong Guang, who has mastered the ball jumping proficiently, catching the ball on the inside of the foot is very simple.

After Lucas took it apart and explained clearly the essentials of passing and catching the ball, he backed away and started to practice with Rong Guang.

"Come on, pass the football to me." Standing about nine meters away, Lucas raised his hands and shouted to Rong Guang.

At the same time, on the training ground, the players of the youth team are also paying attention to this training.

They turned their heads to look at Rong Guang.

After Rong Guang retreated, he kicked the ball with his right foot!

He didn't kick the football out, but he kicked his right foot onto the ankle of his left foot, lost his balance, and tripped over a shit!
"Ahahaha!" A youth team player laughed out loud.

"So stupid! Stupidly stupid!"

"Just such an idiot dare to clamor to defeat Kaka?"

"Defeat Kaka? Next life!"

"What are you doing? Seriously training!" Valdemar's scolding voice sounded.

Lucas also heard the laughter from the youth team. Although he couldn't hear what they said, the laughter was enough to explain the problem.

"These bastards..." Even though he and them belonged to the same team, he now felt that they were going too far.

A beginner expresses his ideals, what is there to laugh at?
He turned his gaze to Rong Guang, who had already got up from the ground.

"Did I put my foot too close to the football just now?" Rong Guang ignored the laughter of those people, but asked Lucas seriously.

Seriously surprised even Lucas.

He really didn't expect that the first thing he said after he got up was a technical problem.He thought that Rong Guang would scold them first...

"Ah...oh, yes. When you passed the ball just now, the supporting foot was too close. Not only is it not easy to exert force, but you will also kick your own supporting foot, just like your stupid mistake just now."

"Okay, come again!" Rong Guang seemed to be completely immune to those malicious ridicules, and shouted with high spirits.

※※※

After dinner, Rong Guang went out with the football in his arms.

Godot knew that he must be looking for a place to train again, so he just told him: "Don't come back too late." He watched TV on his own.

Rong Guang came to the rooftop.

It was an elevator apartment building where he and Lucas lived, and it had fifteen floors.

The top is the rooftop.

No one came here, Rong Guang could train alone here without being disturbed.

After the most basic warm-up is done, he starts juggling the ball.

He stopped counting for himself now, counting how many balls he bounced in one breath.

He can think about other things while juggling the ball, so that he can focus on two things, which reflects that his body has remembered this feeling, and the goal of familiarizing the ball with juggling is achieved.

The football went up and down before Rong Guang's eyes.

Like a pendulum swinging vertically.

Watching football, Rong Guang thought of distant China, in his hometown, what time is it?

Are grandparents in good health?

Did your younger brother work hard at school?
And my parents and sister who are working in Shanghai, how are they doing?
When I first entered Sao Paulo, I wrote them a letter, but I don't know if they received it.

It's been almost a month since I've been here, but I haven't made any money yet.

The most boring and monotonous basic training is carried out every day.

He didn't know how long this day would last.

When will he be able to play games like those first-team professional players, earn a lot of money and become famous?

He heard the ridicule of those people on the training ground today.

But when can you slap them in the face with actual performance?
Rong Guang finished the ball jumping training, looking at the football under his feet, he came up to practice passing and catching.There is no one to practice with him, and he has a way.

The stairwell is a building protruding from the roof, with walls on all sides. He can kick footballs to the walls to practice passing.

When the football hits the wall and bounces back, put your foot out to stop the ball. This is practice catching the ball.

As long as there is a wall and a football, you can practice passing and catching, it's very simple.

But when Rong Guang stepped on the football and looked at the white wall opposite, he suddenly felt unwilling.

Although the idea of ​​learning to shoot was stopped by the coach, but when there was no coach around him, only himself, his heart was about to move again...

Rong Guang pulled the football to a distance of about ten meters from the wall. Behind him was almost the edge of the roof. The chest-high concrete railing was stuck to his back, and he could no longer retreat.

On a summer night in St. Paul, the wind was very strong on the fifteenth floor, whistling, blowing Rong Guang Ri's long hair and his thin T-shirt.

The nearby buildings were brightly lit in Rongguang's field of vision, and then those lights dimmed a little bit in Rongguang's eyes, becoming spots of light, and the focus of his sight fell on the opposite white wall.

The moonlight sprinkled on the roof, although there was no lighting here, the white wall reflected the moonlight and looked very bright.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that the wall happened to be [-] meters long and [-] meters high, about the size of a goal in a regular football field.

In Rong Guang's eyes, this is his own goal.

Gordo said that the most exciting scene in a football game is when the goal is shot, and the climax is the goal.Just like in a basketball game, slam dunks are always the most eye-catching and sought after.

These words were deeply engraved in rookie Rongguang's mind.

From then on, the idea of ​​learning to shoot and scoring a goal took root and became stronger and stronger.

Although coach Valdemar said that even if he learned how to shoot now, it would be useless, but Rong Guang still wanted to try...

He wanted to try the feeling of shooting, what it was like.

Rong Guang looked at the "goal" on the opposite side, and then looked down at the football under his feet.

He imagined that he was in the middle of the game now, and the sound of the wind howling on the roof was the crazy shouts of the fans in the stands.

They were shouting: "Glory! Shoot! Shoot! Glory! Whether you can score or not depends on you!"

The feeling of being placed with high expectations made Rong Guang's blood rush to his head. He ran up and kicked the football!

shoot!

The football soared into the sky, drawing an arc in the night sky.

Then he crossed the wall in the stairwell high, ran towards the bright lights ahead... and then disappeared into those light spots.

He kicked away.

Later, the sound of glass breaking, people screaming and dogs barking can be heard in the distance.

Godot heard the door knock, turned his head and found that Rongguang had returned, and he glanced at the clock hanging on the wall with some surprise.Just over half an hour...

"So fast today?"

"Uh...buy me another football tomorrow, Godot." Rong Guang said a little embarrassedly.

Only then did Godot notice that Rong Guang had no football in his hands or under his feet.

"what happened?"

"I was kicked downstairs and I couldn't find it..." Rong Guang scratched his head.

Gordo smiled.

It seems that the practice of passing and catching the ball did not go very smoothly... He was able to kick the football under the roof with one kick.

But this is quite normal, after all, it is the first day of passing and catching training.No matter how strong Rong Guang's learning ability is, it is impossible to learn how to pass and catch the ball in one day.

He didn't blame Rong Guang, but nodded: "Okay, buy a new ball tomorrow."

Rong Guang returned to his room after saying goodbye to Godot.

After closing the door, he stood behind the door with his head bowed.

In front of his eyes, there seemed to be a football.

He recalled the feeling of his kick on the roof just now.

Although the shot flew in the end, the feeling of the moment of shooting really made him feel very interesting, which was more interesting than the practice of juggling the ball, passing and catching the ball...

As soon as there was a ball in front of his feet, Rong Guang imitated the action of shooting and hit the "football".

In his fantasy, he kicked the football accurately towards the goal, bypassed the goalkeeper's blockade, hit the net, and made a pleasant sound.

Pretty!

Rong Guang clenched his fists and a smile appeared on his face.

Shooting is really fun!
