world number one assists

Fried eggs, bacon, broccoli, fish, steak, pasta, and a jumbo glass of milk.

Looking at the unsightly piles of food on the dinner plate, Randall sighed heavily.

Olier came out following the smell with his bird's nest head on his head, his face unwashed, his teeth unbrushed, and seeing that his portion of food was about to start happily, he was almost devastated by his heavy sigh.

Olier intends to give him a step.

"Man, although the Chinese invented football and the UK is the birthplace of modern football, you grew up in the US and there's no shame in not getting the job."

"Football desert? You guys are going to play the World Cup again!" Landauer doesn't think China can compete with the United States in football. Although China and the United States share the reputation of "soccer desert", there is a big difference between the two !

When China broke into the World Cup 4 years ago (2002), hundreds of thousands of Chinese celebrated wildly in the first place, and even called the Wulihe Stadium where the team qualified as the "St. Wulihe Stadium". I'm afraid dozens of them will go crazy.

The United States is different. Although the love of the American people for football is far less than that of the Chinese, their fans are happy. Since the World Cup in the United States in 1994, the Americans have never missed the World Cup, and they are also ranked high in the international rankings. Far beyond China.

Therefore, for Americans, it is normal to participate in the World Cup, and it is an upset if they cannot participate.

"Then do you know how to play or not?" Olier was curious at first, but now he is suspicious. "I have only seen you play football games before."

Olier's inquisition was met with a stare, and Randall emphasized, "I'm an academic coach!"

Academic?Although Olier doesn't understand football, he understands basketball.

So his dear alumni, roommate, chef, good friend, is a guy who can't play football at all.So his judgment is obviously right, is this guy just deluding himself, thinking that a meal can make him look stronger?

Olier looked at the guy who lost at least seven or eight kilograms compared to last year, and stretched out his hand, "If you really like it, try hard, and it doesn't matter if you fail. After I finish editing this film, the rent for these few months will be settled."

Unexpectedly, Randall stared at his hands with disgust on his face: "Have you washed your hands?"

Olier: "..."

::&::

Randall, who shared two-thirds of the super meal with Olier, drove his N-handed Ford to the Carlson training base of the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Like football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey and other sports in the United States, there is a major league called the Major League Soccer (MLS).

When was it founded? 1996.

In 1994, the United States hosted the World Cup in the United States, but it was not until two years later that American football became professional.Thinking about China, Randall envied the Americans even more.

However, although the Americans have created a professional league, the operation and management system is completely different from that of European football.The biggest difference is that MLS "does not have a relegation system"!

Of course, the pros and cons must be considered separately. Although there is no relegation and relegation system to make the competition in MLS not fierce enough, it has guaranteed the interests of club owners to the greatest extent. After all, relegation means risk, and risk means club devaluation. How can Americans do this? Such a loss-making business?How can a league be formed if no one is involved in a team?

[1]

The Los Angeles Galaxy Club is one of the 10 founding teams of MLS, but two years ago, that is, in 2, they had an extra business rival in the same city, the Chivas Regal Club of America.

The two teams now not only share a stadium, but also share the Carlsen training base, which is worse than the Milan duo in Serie A and the Man Brothers in the Premier League.After all, the former two only share the court, and the latter two, although they have known each other in training bases with the same name, have separate ownership.

Randall drove to the Carlsen training base, and after some twists and turns, he met Bass, the Galaxy's youth training director.

Buzz looked surprised when he saw him!

The mixed-race young man in front of him looks younger, more handsome, taller than the photo in his resume, but also thinner, so thin that it makes him worry - this guy is not an |addict| addict, is he?

Randall didn't seem to notice the hidden vigilance in his scrutiny, and smiled and stretched out his hand to Bass, "Mr. Bass, hello, I'm Randall Li, thank you very much for giving me this internship opportunity, football It is my dream, and you have brought me one step closer to my dream."

Bass, who made him "one step closer to his dream", immediately showed a smile. Everyone likes to listen to his obedient words. He seemed to ask casually, "Do you look thinner than your resume?"

Actually much thinner!

And the mixed-race youth in front of him seemed a little shy, "In order to be busy with my graduation work, because it exceeded the budget, I had to cut down on food and clothing. I did everything I could, and finally graduated smoothly."

Bass nodded, as if he was convinced by this statement. In fact, it was mainly the dimples on the young man's smile and the pure British accent that dispelled part of his doubts.

With Asian blood, he looks younger, and with a baby face, there should be no need to fake his age. As for the others, he can ask this guy to go to the medical examination room for an entry-level physical examination.

"Come on, let me show you around and introduce you to your work."

Randall listened carefully, but he was extremely nervous.

The job is to teach the U9 echelon - that is, children under the age of 9.

He has almost no experience with children, let alone in groups, can he teach children well?

“7岁的孩子现在是6人制的比赛，8到9岁的孩子们根据他们的状态选择让他们踢6人制或者7人制。我们跟欧洲许多豪门球队学习取经，目前这个阶段只让他们踢一种阵型。技术是最重要的，我们完全不考虑给他们灌输战术的问题……”

This "most important" is like Thor's hammer, directly hitting Randall's chest hard.

"Today our training session is divided into two sessions, one is the training of passing and running. These little guys have too little practice in passing the ball layer by layer. One is a 6-a-side game in half court. Today There is no way for two children to ask for leave." Bass shrugged helplessly when he said this.

Randall nodded in understanding.

In the United States, if children want to join the youth training system, parents must pay for their children's dreams.

In fact, parents in Europe also have to spend some money, but that money is used to buy clothing for their children. Some wealthy clubs don't even want this money, but subsidize parents.

American parents have far more bills to pay than European parents.But this phenomenon does not only exist in football, basketball, rugby, baseball, etc. are the same.

The club needs this money to maintain the cost of the youth training camp and to pay the coaches. Naturally, they can't just eliminate the hopeless kids out of the youth training camp like European clubs. Allow children to continue their dreams.

Randall has no way to criticize the pros and cons of this, because he now needs parents to pay for his rent and three meals.

He must get the job!

In fact, there are only 9 children in U12, and 2 children did not come today, so Randall only needs to accept the crowd of 10 boys.

The children were still very well-behaved in front of Bass, listening to him introduce the particularly young coach behind him.

Bass has carefully read Randall's resume. Randall did not introduce his football background in his resume. He only said that he has a UEFA B-level certificate, but it was Bass who gave him a chance and offered him a good job The main reason for salary-UEFA's B-level coaching certificate is far more valuable than the American B-level coaching certificate.

If you want to coach a major league team in the United States, you must have an American A-level certificate. Of course, UEFA's certificate qualification is also recognized by the American Football Association, which has joined FIFA.

There are only a few dozen people in the United States who hold the A-level coaching certificate, and he only has the B-level coaching certificate, so Bass really wants to exchange ideas with this young, highly educated young man from the UK.

Bass, who thought that the children had hired a great coach, bragged about Randall without hesitation in front of the "parents". When Randall found the surprise in the eyes of the children looking at him, it was too late explained……

Seeing him being surrounded by children, wanting to watch him play football coquettishly at him, Bass was relieved and proud of his discerning eyes.

What can Randall do, who is driven to the top by the children's coquettish voices and the boss's proud smile?

He went to change clothes, and thanked himself for wearing a pair of sneakers today.

When he came out, he saw a group of people around Bass, "Randall, everyone is here to cheer for you, and perform well in front of the children!"

Everyone greeted him and asked him to cheer.

Because of nervousness, Randall's palms were a little wet, and he waved to everyone to express his gratitude.

"Come on! A few more bumps, I'll count them for you!" Bass said.

That's right, the so-called kicking football for children is to perform juggling, which is the same way that stars please fans when they join a new team.

Randall looked at the ball at his feet, took a deep breath, flicked it lightly, and tried to jump it up with his right foot.

At this time, everyone could see his nervousness, and Bass frowned slightly, not because of his expression, but because of his obviously stiff body.

Randall raised his toes, and the ball stayed on his toes obediently the next moment.

Buzz relaxed his eyebrows, but Randall was a little surprised.

He carefully picked up the ball again, and the ball smoothly stayed at the height above his knees. Before the ball fell freely again, he took a step back, stretched his feet again, and the ball landed on his feet again.

This is so weird!

He knows how long he hasn't touched football, how can he have such a level?

Although this is just the foundation of the foundation, it will take a period of practice to achieve this foundation smoothly.Is it because he usually punches and has strong physical coordination?He launched a new attempt again.

"Looks less nervous."

"Young people, you should be nervous in front of your children."

"After all, he is a British guy, so it should be fine to bounce the ball."

Randall blocked out all the noise and focused on his feet.

But as time went on, he became smoother and smoother, but more and more questions piled up in his heart—why?Why do I feel like I can control this ball as much as I want?

Not only the simplest way, not just the most basic ball control, the height of the ball has also risen to the shoulders and neck...

He is actually challenging the twelve parts of his body to juggle the ball!

stop!Li Xian, stop now!Are you floating?

Randall warned himself this way in his heart, but his feet didn't listen to him.

This time the ball bounced up to his shoulders. Before falling from the height of the shoulders to the arch of his feet, Randall bent his knees and headed in the air, and the ball obediently rose to the height of the shoulders again.

"Whoa! Okay, keep going!" Buzz yelled, feeling Randall finally let go.

Twelve parts of the ball are the basic skills to exercise the ball sense. Although Randall was very clumsy at first, his performance became better and better. drudgery.

The kids who practice these every day are already gasping at this point!

The so-called expert knows the way, and the youth training coaches present nodded when they heard the children's exclamation.

After completing this set, Randall can end, but what they didn't expect was that Randall then played a "small jump around the ball".

As the name suggests, this action is to take off immediately after the ball is jumped up, and at the same time use the other foot to bypass the ball in the air. After completing this action, Randall then showed a more difficult "around the earth".

These fancy football moves are so much more fun than ordinary juggling!

The children stared at every movement of Randall, and the occasional exclamation from the small mouth became the best BGM.

Randall, who seems to be flying off the show, is still doubting his life!

He likes football, and he also knows some moves of freestyle football, but he has never practiced these moves. Obviously, his brain should have learned them, but his feet don't understand them. Why is it the other way around?

He felt that every muscle and every bone in his body suddenly learned to get along with this ball, but his mind was still dizzy, and he didn't understand the reason at all, just like playing football by intuition!

This feeling of being able to play football like an arm is really amazing!

It's like he and football are inseparable lovers who are inseparable, suddenly separated, and after a long, long time, they meet suddenly, with embarrassment and jerky brought by time, but when they hug each other, they can't stop Stop the car!

what's the problem?

I obviously haven't played football since I was 6 years old!

Randall had no idea what happened to him, but he felt like he had found something...

It took more than ten minutes for the ball to be over. To be able to control the ball for such a long time, and to show off his talents, Bass is full of freestyle football master Janiel, and he can't look at Randall any more. eager!

Randall can not only keep the children, but also bring fresh blood to the youth training camp!

Just when Bass wanted to take Randall to sign the contract immediately, he heard a voice from behind, "Boy, are you coming to a 5v5?"

Buzz looked over in surprise, and was surprised to find that the owner of the voice was Landon Donovan.

This is the top scorer of the Galaxy team. He is so good that one person has scored more than half of the team's goals. He is also the most valuable player in their team.

Bass looked at Randall again, and found that he didn't refuse immediately, but was thinking?

This brought an idea to Buzz's mind——

Randall didn't play freestyle football, he probably played professionally in England!
