I Just Can Score

Newcastle United first team training ground.

Zhen Shaolong was demonstrating the technique of kicking the goal frame from the restricted area line. Owen and Viduka next to him watched in a daze, without closing their mouths for a long time.

This is amazing!

If it wasn't for things happening in front of their eyes, they certainly wouldn't believe that someone could do it.

Zhen Shaolong kicked the ball seven or eight times in a row, only one kick missed the position and flew past the post, and the others hit the door frame directly.

This guy……

Too accurate!

Irving stared blankly, a little in disbelief. He would rather regard the event in front of him as a magic show than a player showing off his feet.

Viduka pursed his lips slightly, and his performance was not much better.

They are all thinking about a question, Facing such a teammate with such precise footwork, how can they compete for a position?

?

Difficult!

Football is a sport of comprehensive abilities. For a striker, footwork is only one of the skills, but footwork is good enough to a certain extent, such as where to shoot, and other abilities are inferior, which is enough to win the main force Location.

the reason is simple!

Football is a goal-scoring sport. When the footwork is good enough, one or two chances are enough. There is no need for other abilities to supplement the performance. Scoring is the ultimate goal.

The confidence of both men took a major blow.

Viduka feels better. He is almost thirty-two years old, and moving to Newcastle United is like finding a place to retire.

Even if there is no Zhen Shaolong, there are Owen and Martins in the team, so he can only be a striker substitute.

Now seeing Zhen Shaolong's footwork like this, he is actually happy, because his teammates are stronger, and the team's performance is better. He also hopes that in the later years of his career, he can win a certain championship honor, just a League Cup, The FA Cup is also good.

Owen was hit a bit hard.

As a former England golden boy, Owen became famous too early. He debuted in Liverpool, moved to Real Madrid, and then returned to the Premier League to join Newcastle United. He even felt that playing for Newcastle United was Newcastle United's luck.

Even if you are injured for a long time...

Ok!

In short, Irving has never worried about playing. As long as he can play normally, he will definitely have his own position, and other teammates have no competition at all.

Now he finds out that's not the case.

There is no need to question the strength of the Chinese kid in front of him. The opponent is considered to be the best striker in Europe last season. Both the League and the UEFA Cup have broken historical records. It may be the first highest salary in the Premier League. After seeing the opponent's extremely amazing footwork, Owen found that a main position was gone.

Competition emerged.

Martins is also a very strong competitor and has always played steadily.

Owen is confident in his skills and scoring efficiency, but he has been suffering from injuries last season and basically did not play for Newcastle United.

Who will the new coach Sam Allardyce trust?

————

Zhen Shaolong's showing footwork dealt a big blow to Owen and Viduka, but the atmosphere of the conversation between the three was not bad, and they could bear the blow in their hearts, and on the surface they became more enthusiastic.

Because, strength!

Football players are also a place to fight for their strength. Only when their strength is recognized can they get along well. It is difficult for an ordinary young player to chat with a star.

The three are competitors, but they are also teammates, and they all play for Newcastle United together.

Owen is also a little excited.

Without considering the issue of competition and thinking in a better direction, with such a strong teammate and partner to form a strong striker, it will definitely have super high efficiency.

At that time, will the media and fans say, The striker formed by Irving and Zhen Shaolong swept the whole of England! They didn't sweep Europe because Newcastle United... didn't qualify for European competitions.

Zhen Shaolong, Owen and Viduka stayed in the training ground for more than an hour, and then Viduka left first. He also just joined Newcastle United, and he just came to the training ground to get familiar with him and chat with Owen. There are many things to do.

Soon Owen left too.

Zhen Shaolong had a lot of conversations with Owen, and he also knew that Owen has just recovered from his injury, and it will take more than a month to recover. He still needs to pay attention to his daily training, and he needs to pay more attention to the intensity and time of the ball-holding and shooting training that use the strength of his legs. To ensure a better recovery, adjust the state to the best before the start of the new season.

After Owen left, Zhen Shaolong didn't go to the gym. He simply went home and put on his clothes, packed tightly, and walked around a few blocks nearby to get acquainted with the surrounding living environment.

The location of Zhen Shaolong’s house is really good. It’s at the end of Wellington Avenue, staggered away from the peak flow of people, and next to Newcastle University Business School. The environment and atmosphere must be very good. Standing on the balcony on the third floor, you can occasionally see some wearing clothes pretty schoolgirl...

cough cough.

This is not important.

Wellington Avenue is close to Newcastle United Club and St. James' Park Stadium. It takes about ten minutes to walk there. Walk along the road and go east to the central business circle. There are people and shops everywhere. Don't pay attention to theaters, churches, and commercial streets. A large casino, the casino is close to the city's only red-light district.

The red-light district is composed of some small buildings with three or four floors, and there are warning signs at the intersections.

How did I get here!

Zhen Shaolong found that he was walking a bit off track, so he couldn't help but look inside a few times, and he didn't need to compare it to know that it was not a heavyweight with the rope road.

what a pity……

This walk was relaxing. Just as Zhen Shaolong was about to leave, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking out of the alley in the red-light district.

chubby.

Half gray hair...why is he wearing a hat and sunglasses?

Mr. Allardyce!

Zhen Shaolong called out tentatively, and the fat man turned his head subconsciously, like a frightened deer, and immediately wanted to run away.

It's me, Zhen Shaolong!

Zhen Shaolong made up his mind and walked over, and asked in a daze, Why are you here...

He just reacted.

Allardyce quickly covered his mouth, and let out a long breath, Be careful! It's not safe here!

Zhen Shaolong understood in seconds.

Afterwards, the two walked all the way and had a friendly conversation. Zhen Shaolong staggered the topic of the red-light district, but Allardyce repeatedly emphasized, I didn't do anything.

Just to meet up with an old friend, and yes, you know, the red-light district is closed during the day...

Zhen Shaolong kept nodding his head.

He couldn't say believe, but he was a little surprised. The old guy did a good job of keeping secrets, and he had never seen any gossip about him on the news.

The two walked to the side of the street.

Allardyce wanted to take a taxi and leave, but he still reminded him, Zhen, don't tell it, it's my secret. No, it's our secret. By the way, I'll treat you to a hamburger when I have time. , the one next to the club is good.

I don't eat hamburgers, high calories.

Zhen Shaolong replied with a dark face, Secret between us, which made him feel sick and want to vomit.

————

When Zhen Shaolong returned home, he recorded the incident.

This is everyday.

What 'secret' things some people around you do need to be carefully recorded, even if it is a 'secret that cannot be revealed', maybe it can be used in the future?

It's better to remember than to forget anyway.

Many great thinkers and philosophers have said, Knowledge is the source of power for human progress. They all mean the same thing. Write down what happens. The more things you put in your mind, the smarter and more active you will become. The more there are boundaries.

Ok.

Zhen Shaolong waited for good news that day, and Alan Smith finally sent confidence—

Tomorrow morning, at ten o'clock, the west gate of the club gym, changing room!

Zhen Shaolong happily replied, OK, Golden Retriever!

Just wait!

Okay, Golden Retriever!

The next day Zhen Shaolong got up early and went to the gym fully dressed.

He came a little early.

Alan Smith was completely absent, so he simply started his personal exercise.

Smith is punctual.

At around 9:30, Smith appeared at the door. He walked up to Zhen Shaolong's side with black-smooth footsteps and an expression of my father is Li Gang, and he also showed off his tendons by the way. .

“Good meat!”

Zhen Shaolong was a little envious of Smith's muscles.

It means strong!

You said ten o'clock, is it now? No one happens to be there!

Smith found that Zhen Shaolong was very calm, and was immediately filled with a strong sense of humiliation. He was specially dressed, not only wearing wrists and ankles, but also wearing heavy metal gloves, just to make his fists more powerful.

The other party doesn't care?

He is angry!

Zhen Shaolong ignored Smith, and walked directly to the changing room. The changing room on the west side of the gym is relatively spacious, and the benches and cabinets in the middle are taken to one side, which can be used as a fighting arena.

It's a good place for the golden retriever to find!

Zhen Shaolong was sitting on the side, watching Smith change clothes, put on gloves, and even put on braces, he couldn't help sighing, You are so professional!

Of course, just wait!

Smith yelled ferociously, and finally corrected the position of the glove, and immediately stood to the side, posing the opening pose of a boxer, Come on!

it is good……

Zhen Shaolong was a little tired from waiting. He felt that Smith was playing tactics instead of a normal fight.

Started? he asked nonchalantly.

Now I'm going to attack!

Smith said this and rushed forward two steps quickly. He specially consulted professional boxers, distracting the opponent's attention while speaking, he can gain the upper hand, and as long as he punches the opponent, he can quickly gain the advantage.

but……

He is facing an opponent with top martial arts!

Zhen Shaolong's strength is not as strong as Smith's, but he has experience in top-level martial arts. Seeing Smith's movements, he subconsciously knows what to do.

sideways.

Dodge the straight punch.

By the way, he turned around and kicked out the roundabout leg. The height of the leg kick was just right in the side of Smith's face.

Boom!

The violent collision between the back heel and the face immediately caused Smith to roll in pain, temporarily losing the ability to resist.

Then it's easy.

Zhen Shaolong kicked at his butt, then stepped on Smith's hands, and raised two fists to face that handsome face. It was a series of combo meals, Bump! Crackling...

Call you arrogant!

Still arrogant or not?

I will call you Golden Retriever! Golden Retriever! Golden Retriever! Golden Retriever! Do you accept it!

Slap someone in the face!

...

Outside the changing room door.

There was a staff member standing there, his name was Bruno, who was in charge of the gym.

The last time Bruno saw Zhen Shaolong and Smith conflicting, he was warned not to tell others. In order not to lose his job, he could only keep the matter in his heart.

Now……

Bruno was really worried.

Both Zhen Shaolong and Smith are the stars of the team, and whoever gets injured will definitely be held accountable, but before Smith went in, he gave another warning, so he could only stand outside and dare not go in to disturb him.

There was a knocking sound inside, and Smith's painful wail.

No, people will die!

When Bruno couldn't help it, he saw Zhen Shaolong walking out refreshed, and warned him, Don't say anything!

Okay. Bruno promised and hurriedly asked, Is Smith all right?

Do not worry!

After Zhen Shaolong finished speaking, he walked away.

About five minutes later, Smith opened the door. On the surface, he seemed to be fine, but he seemed to be exhausted, and he couldn't even stand upright.

Bruno took a long breath, and his mind expanded.

What the hell is going on here?

Two men went in to fight, one came out in good spirits, and the other screamed in pain for a long time. He didn't have any injuries on his body, but walked out completely exhausted...

Well……

He's still clutching his ass...
