Start with an extraordinary experience card

Chapter 20 Spanish National Derby

There are still three days until the next matchday, but Barcelona is already busy.

A large number of fans flocked to the city like a pilgrimage, and nearly 700 journalists are already preparing for their resident observation.

And all of this is just to welcome the most special La Liga game——

El Clasico!
In the tenth round of La Liga, Barcelona played against their old enemy Real Madrid at home.

The grievances between the two teams, Barcelona and Real Madrid, are only slightly described by the competition in terms of club performance.

What lies deeper behind the grievances is actually the ideological struggle of people in different regions.

In Spanish history and culture, the Catalonia region where Barcelona is located and the Castilla region where Madrid is located are representatives of two tit-for-tat ideologies.

Coastal Catalonia is close to the Mediterranean economic circle, with obvious geographical advantages and a developed economy.

In the long history of Spain, Catalonia has tried many times for independence, but they have failed to achieve the results they want.

Although the years of struggle have allowed Catalonia to have a high level of autonomy, it will eventually be under the jurisdiction and containment of the Spanish central government.

The Castilla region where Madrid is located, although not the most economically developed region in Spain, is the region with the most concentrated power.

Although it is said that football should have nothing to do with politics, everything changed when Barcelona became the symbol of Catalonia and Real Madrid became the symbol of Castilla.

In order to get independence from Spain, Catalonia has launched several popular independence referendums, which has involved everyone.

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique was criticized by many non-Catalians for his pro-independence remarks on Twitter.

In the eyes of many Spaniards, the struggle between Barcelona and Real Madrid seems to be just a simple football match, but it symbolizes the collision between different forces in Spain.

It symbolizes the power confrontation between the independent faction and the anti-independence faction!

This is war!

In the age without war, football is war!

The battle is imminent, and the atmosphere in the team today is not bad.

Two days ago, Barcelona won the Champions League group stage opponent Dynamo Kiev with a score of 3:0 at home.

This wave of three consecutive victories in various competitions has immersed the whole team in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

However, in that game, Koeman considered Qin Ming's physical problems and did not put him in the squad for the game.

Of course, Qin Ming was not idle either. He asked his manager Jose to find a professional physical trainer and tailor a physical training plan for him.

Although I have a god-like green king system, this thing is like a player's talent.

It can appear inexplicably and disappear inexplicably.

Although the system can raise Qin Ming's upper limit, the lower limit has to be filled by himself.

Through the last game, Qin Ming also deeply realized that there is a big problem with his physical fitness.

With his current physical condition, it is difficult to persist in completing 90 minutes of La Liga, let alone the more intense Champions League games.

What he needs to do now is to quickly increase his physical threshold.

From the Fati incident, he began to understand that only strength is the moat of players.

Only strength can make him gain more people's respect.

And if you want to gain strength, there is no other shortcut except to put in extraordinary efforts.

On the court, everyone is training hard.

Moving the training area, Koeman is teaching midfielders such as Busquets, De Jong and Pedri:

"The center is only used to control the situation, and breakthroughs often appear on the side. When you get the ball, find a way to transfer the ball to the side."

"Of course, when your opponent blocks your passing lane, you just have to pass the ball the other way."

In the goalkeeper training area, Ter Stegen and second goalkeeper Neto are stretching their muscles.

Barcelona's goal this season will be guarded by these two top goalkeepers.

Although before the start of the season, Ter Stegen was sidelined for two months due to knee patellar tendon surgery.

But when he returned to the game, his performance was still as stable as before, and he was still the wall in front of Barcelona.

Qin Ming was arranged to cooperate with Alba to practice long passing.

After the first few games, Koeman was keenly aware that the connection between the two was getting closer.

If properly tuned, Barcelona's left wing is likely to take off directly.

Griezmann and others were also assigned corresponding training tasks.

In the busy Gamper training ground, there is a hint of the smell before the rain is about to come.

After the individual training was over, everyone ushered in the highlight of today's training——

Penalty kick training!

In football, a penalty kick is a 1v1 duel between the player and the goalkeeper.

Cold and cruel!

It is a technical content that every player must master, even goalkeepers.

In a formal game, if a player wants to score a penalty kick, he needs not only superb footwork, but also a sound psychological quality and unconventional tactical design.

And all of these need to be practiced repeatedly in daily training.

The head coach Koeman also knows this very well, so before such an important event as the National Derby, he arranged today's penalty kick training.

Today's penalty kick training rules are very simple. Each player has completed 10 penalty kicks and scored 8 times to qualify.

For players who fail to qualify, there will be some small punishments waiting for them later.

Qin Ming was assigned to Ter Stegen's group, but he was not the first player to play.

It happened that he could stand on the sidelines and observe other teammates, and at the same time, he could find a way to beat him from Ter Stegen's performance.

If we can formulate a penalty kick strategy based on Ter Stegen's shortcomings, then the winning rate of this penalty kick confrontation training can be increased by at least half.

The first to play was De Jong, who hit the plane with his first kick.

But he then adjusted his mentality, and all of the next nine shots hit the goal frame, and only one was saved.

8/10, De Jong made a thrilling pass!
Pique and Roberto, who played later, were obviously more experienced. After a short operation, they both passed the test with a score of 9/10.

The only unlucky one is the 22-year-old young midfielder Phuket.

After he was guessed in the right direction by Ter Stegen and saved twice in a row, his mentality fluctuated a bit.

Followed by two consecutive kicks, and finally with a score of 6/10, he became the first player to enter the penalty sequence.

After Puji, it was Qin Ming's turn.

Just as Qin Ming picked up the ball on the ground and walked towards the white penalty spot, Pique suddenly shouted at him:

"Qin, you have to work hard! Give Ter Stegen some color!"

Just when everyone was laughing, Pique turned around again and shouted at Ter Stegen:
"Hey, No. 1, our Wall of Sighs! Bring up your [-]-like spirit and let this young man see how powerful we old people are!"

"Ahahahaha!"

Pique's two-way pulling operation attracted belly laughs from his teammates.

Qin Ming shook his head helplessly, he was already familiar with Pique's funny style, and he was no stranger to it.

Qin Ming stepped on the turf on the penalty spot, and then put the ball firmly on it.

He took two steps back, looked at Ter Stegen's position, and prepared to take his first penalty.

Taking a penalty kick sounds simple, but when Qin Ming really stood in front of the penalty spot, he couldn't relax at all.

According to the latest regulations of FIFA, the goal size is 7.32 meters * 2.44 meters.

However, looking around, the tall and burly Ter Stegen on the goal line basically covered the entire goal.

The world's top goalkeeper paced back and forth on the goal line, moving back and forth, creating a great pressure on Qin Ming.

How should this penalty be punished?
This is a problem!
Just as Qin Ming was thinking about his free throw strategy, a familiar voice suddenly came from his mind.

[The host triggers a temporary task]

[Temporary task: Elementary Precision Field]

[Task Reward: The shooting accuracy in the field is increased to 80%, and the field radius is 20 meters]

　Ask for collection, ask for various tickets~~~
　　ps: I got up and saw that Griezmann had returned to Atletico Madrid on loan, and I was numb.
