World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 552 Door Gods of Different Styles

Niu Gensheng's wonderful save not only won warm applause from the audience, but even Cleninson, who was the farthest away from him on the court, had a strong interest in his peer and opponent.

"This Chinese is interesting"

Cleninson made an evaluation of Niu Gen in his heart.

Although Cleninsen and Niu Gensheng are both talented, their growth experiences and style characteristics determine that they are two completely different types of goalkeepers.

Cleninsen was born in a family of goalkeepers. His father was a well-known goalkeeper in Sweden, and his mother was a high jumper who won a European Championship medal.

From the moment he was born, his life path was planned, and he wanted his son to inherit his father's career and become an excellent goalkeeper.

For this reason, he received strict professional training and guidance since he was a child, traveled all over the country, visited famous teachers, laid a solid foundation, and forged excellent goal-line fighting skills.

Coupled with his outstanding talent, he has shown his talent from a very early age and has become a talent seedling that the club and the Football Association focus on training.Participated in various training camps and competitions.

The long-term influence of the environment and hard training have enabled him to accumulate enough experience and hone his mature mind.That's why he rejected the invitations of many European giants and came to Red Bull Salzburg, a club that has a chance to play in Europe but is not particularly eye-catching.

Just to get more opportunities to play, on the one hand to enrich my experience, on the other hand, to better show my talent to the world.

Cleninsen believes that his impregnable defense in front of the goal will make the already powerful Red Bull Salzburg even more powerful, and finally become a blockbuster in the Champions League and become a dark horse with full appearance.

Every year in the dark polo team of the Champions League, there will be young talents who become the treasures that the giants are vying for, just like De Ligt in Ajax in the 2018 season and Aouar in Lyon in the 2019 season.They have the halo of the core players of the dark horses of the Champions League, and the transfer fee of tens of millions of euros ensures that even if they go to the top giants, they will not be underestimated and will become the focus of training.

And this kind of treatment is definitely not the same as directly transferring to a giant as a young player!

That's exactly what Cleninson wanted.

Red Bull Salzburg is just a springboard for him. He will use his outstanding performance this season to help Red Bull Salzburg become the most dazzling dark horse in the UEFA Champions League, and also win the opportunity for himself to become the main goalkeeper of a wealthy team!

And Niu Gensheng is the exact opposite of him!
Niu Gensheng, who was born in a remote rural family, never thought that he would play football or be a goalkeeper until he was 18 years old!

He went to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts since he was a child. His dream for a long time is to acquire good martial arts, become a big star like his senior brother Wang Baoqiang, earn a lot of money, and let his parents, younger brothers, and younger sisters move to big cities to live.

However, by fate, when he mastered martial arts and went to join his senior brother, he participated in the draft by accident, and was inexplicably selected into the list to go to Brazil for training.

In this way, he became a goalkeeper in a daze!

To be honest, he hadn't even watched a complete football game before, and he couldn't figure out the rules of the league.As for basic skills, goalkeeping skills, etc., they are completely blank.

However, his coach believes that he is a rare and talented goalkeeper.

Whether it is Brazil or Portugal, no matter where you go, you must take him with you.

And found him the best goalkeeper coach to train him.

Under the careful guidance and training of the coach, his basic skills and techniques have made great progress, especially his knowledge and understanding of football has improved rapidly.But many things in the bones cannot be changed.

In ordinary games, facing ordinary shots, he can still perform technical moves like a professional goalkeeper; however, once the critical moment is reached, facing the opponent's one-handed goal or a goal, he completely forgets about the technical essentials, and relies entirely on his physical instincts and martial arts foundation to block and save.

But it is this instinct in his bones that allows him to complete many incredible saves against the sky and become an insurmountable steel gate!
For this reason, the legendary goalkeeper and his coach Baia had a lot of headaches. He used harsh and crazy training to polish the goalkeeping skills of this rare and talented goalkeeper over and over again.

Later, Baia also figured it out. If you can't change it, you can't change it. The biggest responsibility of the goalkeeper is not to standardize the movements, but to prevent the ball from flying into the goal.

At this point, Niu Gensheng has done a perfect job!
As for the future plan, Niu Gensheng never thought about it.

Although both Gao Yuan and Baia told him that he has the talent to become the best goalkeeper in the world, and he will show himself on a bigger stage in the future.

But he himself was ignorant, he just wanted to follow Gao Yuan's side, and with his teammates, he kept winning.

Winning makes him happy, that's enough!
This is Cleninson and Niu Gensheng, two completely different goalkeepers.The gap between the two is as far away as their positions on the court.

But one thing is the same, that is, they are the last insurance in their respective teams, two insurmountable steel barriers.

They all want to help the team win!
Red Bull Salzburg also studied and analyzed Maritimo's game video before the game.

The arrogant Cleninson originally sneered at Niu Gensheng.He couldn't understand why the Maritimo team, which seemed to be good in every aspect, had a goalkeeper with such poor basic skills?Although he often saves some very threatening shots with the help of God, his movements are too irregular, right?The goalkeeping skills are in a mess, the hand shape of catching and hitting the ball is wrong, and there are some problems in the timing of the attack...
In Cleninson's view at the time, the goalkeeper was Maritimo's weakest link.

But now, through this halftime contest, Cleninson's opinion has changed.

When he witnessed the opponent's goalkeeper resolve the two very threatening shots of his team, he found that although the opponent's technique was not standardized, it was very practical; although his movements were somewhat amateurish, he could always block the ball out of the goal.

Cleninson is well aware of his team's counterattack quality and ability to seize opportunities. Just based on his team's performance in the first half, it is worth admiring the Chinese goalkeeper!

"This guy is not an ordinary fool!" The proud Cleninson once again changed a new label for Niu Gensheng in his heart.

After Niu Gensheng resolved the crisis in a row, the two teams started to attack and defend each other again, and each shot a few good shots, but they were all resolved by the goalkeepers of both sides.

At the end of the first half, the score was still fixed at 0:0.

When the players from both sides walked towards the locker room passage, Cleninson deliberately walked to Niu Gensheng's side.

He stared playfully at this Chinese who was not two years older than himself.

Niu Gensheng was inexplicably stared at by him, and responded with a simple and honest smile.

For some reason, Cleninson felt that this guy's smile was a little silly. Is this the smile that a top goalkeeper should have?
"You are interesting, I will pay attention to you." Cleninson said proudly, his tone full of pride.

He spoke English. Niu Gensheng had been abroad for so long, and was forced by Gao Yuan to learn the language. Simple conversation was no problem.But this idiot seems to have misunderstood the meaning of the other party.

"I have been watching your performance again and again. The coach said that your technical movements are very standard and beautiful. Let me learn more! Let's learn from each other!"

Speaking with a sunny smile that is harmless to humans and animals.

"..."

Cleninson was a little speechless, he was provoking, how did he learn from each other?
Did he really not hear it, or was he just pretending to be stupid?

Such a good goalkeeper can't be so stupid, can he?impossible!

Then he is playing stupid!This guy, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, is not ordinary...
