Coaching career started as a college team coach

"Is this our secret weapon?" Jota asked curiously, looking at the footbonaut in front of him. They have been using this machine in front of them all the time, and they train in it a few days a week, so they are familiar with the structure of the machine.

So when Wei Le told them that this was their secret weapon to defeat Dortmund, they couldn't see what was so magical about it.

"Yes, this is our secret weapon." Wei Le smiled, "Although you may not be able to see it, I proudly announce that Footbonaut has now been upgraded, and we can call it version 2.0!"

But after this impassioned declaration, there were few responses.

"Well, to be honest, Footbonaut has not been upgraded." Wei Le coughed twice in embarrassment, "You have observed it carefully..."

Then he clearly saw the helpless roll of the eyes of assistant coach Celars. With a smile, Wei Le pushed open the door of Footbonaut and walked in by himself.

"You know what level I am at playing football, right?"

Everyone nodded, they knew Wei Le's past. Wei Le can keep the goal. After training, they practiced shooting. Wei Le can be a goalkeeper. Although his physical fitness is not very outstanding, his technical movements are still standard. Even the shots of professional players can be saved.

But if we really talk about footwork, Wei Le's level is far lower than any serving machine.

I have seen a video before. Real Madrid coach Zidane personally guided Ronaldo to practice free kicks in the training class. Even the proudest players, seeing Zidane's set-piece level, have to praise that his skills are still as good as ever.

A master is a master. Although his physical fitness can't keep up, his experience in this sport is still there, and his technical level is not bad at all. But Wei Le just can't play.

Wei Le can do simple dribbling and passing, but when it comes to long passes and shooting, you can see at a glance that he has never received professional training. He belongs to the technical movements he has figured out by himself.

It is true. Wei Le even played on real grass once before going abroad. The rest of the time, he played on artificial grass. Sometimes the grass quality was very poor, and it was not at the same level as the grass at the current Wolves training base.

When the Wolves players used Footbonaut, they also knew that it was not difficult for amateur players to play, so everyone should be able to imagine the scene of Wei Le being confused next.

"What do you think of the difficulty of this machine?" But standing in the center, Wei Le did not start directly, but asked everyone. Everyone looked at each other, and the question was well asked.

Is it difficult? In fact, it was quite difficult at the beginning, but after figuring it out, it was another matter.

Footbonaut is essentially a training for passing and receiving the ball. You just need to pass the ball within the specified time. After the initial stage of not adapting, these professional players gradually found that this machine was not that difficult to handle.

No one answered, but Wei Le already knew the answer.

"Today, I know you want to see me laugh, but unfortunately, I won't take on the job of kicking the ball." Wei Le stretched out his hand and pointed at Jota, "Come in, Diogo, my job today is to kick you."

"Ah?"

Although he was puzzled, Jota still walked in obediently.

"Now, the ball will only come from the four directions of the serving machine, not from the sky. And my goal is to prevent you from passing the ball to your target. If I grab the ball, I will clear the ball to any receiving port, and before that you have to counter-grab me until the ball is kicked into the target by you or cleared by me."

"Understand?"

"Understand!"

Wei Le said it very clearly, and everyone understood what he was doing.

Preparation on the field, discussion off the field.

"I think this is simpler than usual." Almiron said, "Now there will be no half-high balls, no high balls, just play low balls well, it's much simpler."

"It's hard to say." De Paul disagreed, "The space is too small, it's hard to handle the ball if the defensive player blocks it in front."

"Let's see what happens first." Alphonso Davies was a little excited, he was very interested in this uncommon equipment.

Beep--

The prompt sounded, the door of the iron cage was locked, and the lights in the center of the field lit up.

"Boss, you still want to steal me at this level?" Jota tried to talk some trash to interfere with Wei Le.

"Hehe." Wei Le didn't answer either, he'll have something to look at later.

A ball was passed out, and this ball was in front of Jota. He first looked back to observe Wei Le's position, then raised his arm to hold Wei Le, and then stretched his foot to stop the ball.

The target of the pass was also in front of him, so he passed the ball directly.

The big screen showed that Jota scored a point.

"It's very simple." Almiron smiled, it was indeed not difficult.

But when the second ball came out, Jota looked around and found that the ball point was on the left, and Wei Le got ahead of him! Jota was shocked. He probably knew the difficulty of this game. He didn't dare to neglect it and ran forward to push Wei Le away.

But Wei Le was not so easy to be squeezed out. He firmly stuck in a favorable position, which made it difficult for Jota to make adjustments after receiving the ball! Jota felt that Wei Le was constantly interfering with him behind him, and he was even more irritated.

He finally found the direction in which he was asked to pass the ball, and hurriedly passed the ball, but it deviated from the target! It fell into the net bag next to him.

Wei Le scored a point.

"Is this defense too strong?" Jota also felt the intensity at this time, and was sweating profusely. But it was not Wei Le who answered him, but the prompt sound of Footbonaut!

He just realized that he had just completed two passes, and this was just the beginning!

The third ball was in front of Wei Le, and Wei Le cleared the ball directly.

In the fourth ball, Jota knocked Wei Le away in the competition with Wei Le, and then easily passed the ball into the goal.

In the fifth ball, Jota was not careful and was tackled by Wei Le before passing the ball.

In the sixth ball, Jota used too much force and passed a half-high ball, which deviated from the target.

Jota successfully scored the seventh ball...

After playing ten balls, Jota was surprised to find that he only succeeded in four!

How is this possible? He usually gets full marks in individual training, and he usually does not lose to Premier League central defenders. How come he can't compete with amateur players like Wei Le?

Ruota walked out in confusion, and Wei Le was also a little exhausted.

"How do you feel?" Wei Le asked with a smile, "Does anyone still look down on this training?"

Everyone shook their heads, and some were thinking about what the purpose of Wei Le's design of this training rule was.

"The next game Dortmund may be different from your traditional impression. They will defend." Wei Le said, "Now, Dortmund's head coach is no longer Klopp and Tuchel, two coaches who advocate offense, but Steger."

"The Dortmund lineup under this head coach is weaker than that in Klopp's era, and his way of dealing with it is conservative. They have been carrying out defensive counterattacks to the end since the beginning of this year."

"Completely abandon ball possession, focus on intensive defense, narrow the distance between the three lines, and invest more manpower in counterattacks. This is the lineup that Steger prefers to send out double defensive midfielders, and Reus, Pulisic, and Schurrle will also shrink back to participate in defense."

"Maybe you will think, the same Footbonaut, why do you think it is not difficult before? Because you basically don't need to move inside, the ball will be passed in front of you, and you only need to turn around at most."

"Seriously , when you practice more, you can all figure out its serve routine, and then it will be no different from playing offline level-breaking games, just backboard. "

"And this is what you may see in the game, the ball flies from all directions, and you need to resist the opponent's midfielder and complete the quick pass. "

"A big problem for Dortmund is that their game rhythm is often slow, and Steger has not fully exerted the vitality of this attacking line. But their defense helps them not to lose the ball in many games, and they only need to score one goal to win the game. "

"This is even more true in the cup competition. Every goal and loss is crucial. "Weile paused, clenched his fist and said, "And my expectation is that you will use your quick passes to blow them up!"

After saying this, Jota was eager to try, and he couldn't wait to go in and compete with the Wolves' defensive players again. "Don't look, you have tried it, let us play too!" De Paul slapped Jota away. Jota finally realized that this project was so fun, how could everyone not see it?

"In the first group, Bowen is attacking, and Van der Beck is defending! Go in!"
