shadow striker

That was a month after the start of the new season,.

It's five o'clock in the afternoon, and the Torino team has finished training all day.

However, the Asian player can still be seen on the court.

That was Yue Yihuang.He seems to be used to arriving at the stadium an hour earlier than others for training, and leaving the stadium an hour and a half later after the team's training.And...he ran to the field and ran home from the field.

In the earliest days, he was just practicing how to kick the ball to the same point accurately with both left and right feet.However, since Francisco arrived in Turin, his last training session has changed.

He began to meditate before every kick, seemingly designing a goal picture for himself in his mind.

In this scene, there will be several enemy players who are responsible for intercepting his shot, while the own players in his meditation... are only himself and Francisco.

He considered Juventus, Milan duo, Roma, Udinese, and Naples as the imaginary enemies in his meditation, and thought that if he faced them, the opponent's players would attack them respectively. When to take what kind of defense.How will his teammates break through the lines of defense, and he... in what place, in what season, and in what form.

When those pictures flashed quickly in his mind, Yue Yihuang's figure finally merged with the self in his mind, flashed past the imaginary enemy in meditation, and rushed from the midfield to the penalty area at the speed of a gust of wind , and after a few moves, he dispersed the expected defenders and focused all his attention on the football he placed on the left side of the goal.

He rushed towards the football, he didn't adjust his pace, but subconsciously lifted his left foot after stepping on the ground with his right foot again, the ball was kicked hard, Yue Yihuang endowed it with speed and strength, Also gave it a spin.This caused the ball to form an almost weird arc when it approached the goal frame, and after it deviated outward, it quickly turned sharply and rushed into the goal.

Looking at the arc of the white net in the goal caused by his goal, Yue Yihuang was silent for a long time, and those images finally disappeared from his mind.

However, just as he was flicking back his forehead hair that had been wet by the rainstorm, and showing a slight smile, he keenly noticed that behind him... a figure appeared.He turned around quickly, but saw an unexpected person.

"I only know that you like to come earlier than others and leave later than others. But I didn't expect that you would like to practice basketball even when it rains heavily. Is this your hobby, Yue?"

The person who said that was none other than Francisco.He was not wearing a suit and leather shoes at this time, but he was not wearing a Turin team jersey either. He seemed to have forgotten something and came back temporarily to get it.He is holding an umbrella, even in the rainstorm, he looks so gentlemanly, without the slightest embarrassment.

As for Yue Yihuang, he just stood in the torrential rain, letting the rain wash over him, hit him, and slide down his body continuously.

He didn't answer Francisco, and in fact he didn't know what he should say to Francisco at this moment.Therefore, he just took out another football from the net bag, and planned to do the same drill as before.However, this time, the ball in his hand was indeed taken by another person on the court at this time.

It was Francisco who had thrown the umbrella aside.

"I have to admit, your shot is wonderful. But two people can always play better than one, can't they?"

Yue Yihuang looked at Francisco suspiciously, as if he didn't understand what the other party wanted to do.However, Francisco really did not intend to let this silence or dullness continue.He tossed the ball lightly, then pushed the ball into the air with his knee, fixed it with his head, then let it slide down his back, and finally hooked the ball with his right foot to pass the ball from behind Kicked lightly to the front, stepped on the ball again, eager to try.

"The one in front of me is my goal. You are responsible for shooting the ball in. As for the goal in the half behind me, it is yours. I am responsible for kicking the ball in. How about it?"

The torrential rain brought bursts of roar and the sound of rain, but Yue Yihuang clearly understood what Francisco said.After lowering his eyelids, he let out a low chuckle and then opened them again, looking at each other.

The next moment... he finally rushed towards the other party.His eyes are fixed on the figure of the world's top star, but his feet... seem to be able to confirm the position of the ball without eyes at all, and to take it away...

The shooting game in the rainstorm is so real, full of urgency, and close at hand, but it brings Yue Yihuang's memory to the long past.

There was once a boy who was similar to his age said the same thing to him.That boy was sunny, enthusiastic, and had superb golf skills. His hair was always messy. In the entire block, there was no boy who could beat him, not even a big boy who was a head taller than him.

At that time, he also proudly stepped on the dirty football and said to Yue Yihuang: "Yihuang, let's compare and see who has more shots?"

Yue Yihuang still remembers... At that time, he would lose to that boy almost every time, and in the end he was too tired to crawl and lay down on the grass.Listen to the boy talk about his dream.Said that he must enter Barcelona and become the core of the Barcelona team's offense.

But now, Yue Yihuang played more and more bravely.He seemed to have turned from a cool breeze into a strong wind, constantly stopping Francisco's offensive.He even... bit on Francisco's back tightly, not letting the other party get away from him by even half a meter...

Yue Yihuang is far inferior to Francisco in terms of his ability to keep attacking the goal after running long distances with the ball.However, he seems to understand the opponent's style of play, and he seems to be able to judge what Francisco will do next with his keen sense of smell.This made Francisco very excited, but at this moment, he still couldn't think of the so-called... natural tacit understanding.

He just felt that Yue Yihuang's judgment was too amazing, he could always know what his next move was, whether it was just a feint or a full-scale attack.This is really... too novel feeling.Not to mention, Yue Yihuang had the speed to keep up with him.

Looking at Europe, there are only a handful of people who can catch up with him on the court.And now... in Turin, an Italian club that has just been promoted to the first division, there is such a person who, while taking into account speed, also has a very solid or even wonderful footwork, and... precise judgment.

All of this made Francisco very excited, and accidentally used all his strength.

result?Of course, it was Francisco who won Yue Yihuang, and not only won, but also left him all the way.

However, it wasn't that Yue Yihuang didn't get all the balls in Francisco's hands.

This fact made Francisco more interested in Yue Yihuang.And the relationship between them has changed subtly just because of this goal game in the rainstorm.

Perhaps, this is just a unilateral change by Francisco.

He has become less polite and gentlemanly.

However, the smile he showed in front of Yue Yihuang became more vivid.

"I've seen your game video. It's just that there are some things...you still need to confirm with your own eyes and body. You are great."

Francisco did not hesitate to express his praise for Yue Yihuang.

"I don't understand why Dro didn't let you play again after the start of this season. But I want to say that if you play, the offensive power on the front line will increase significantly."

The praise from Francisco made Yue Yihuang feel a little confused.Although since he joined the Turin team, Cassel and other teammates would say "Yue, good job!" or "Yue! Good job!" to him, but when the world's top player like Francisco When a player expresses such serious and sincere appreciation to him, he will still be happy, with a smile that cannot be concealed on his face.

"Thank you."

"Hey, thanks, I just stated a fact."

As he said that, Francisco punched Yue Yihuang in the chest, Yue Yihuang froze for a moment and then punched Francisco, and then the two laughed loudly together.

"Yue, are you going to run back today?"

"Yes."

The rain seemed to have eased after they finished the goal game, but the rain continued.Both of them have already been hit by the heavy rain, it doesn't matter if they get drenched more or not.However, they have to run back under such circumstances, so they really don't take their bodies seriously, although their physical fitness is much better than ordinary people.

Sure enough, after hearing Yue Yihuang's answer, Francisco showed disapproval on his face.

"I think, maybe in the scoring game just now, you have already run all the distance you need to run today? So, maybe you can take my car back today."

Regarding Francisco's proposal, Yue Yihuang originally wanted to reject it.However, at this moment, he felt that he probably shouldn't push away other people's good intentions.

And, he probably...should come out too.

Walking out of that past memory, he cherishes his current team and current teammates even more.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Yue Yihuang finally nodded with a smile, and thanked Francisco.
