Football: Draw a card to get a super-intelligent dragon and a flaming shot

Leicester City, coaches' meeting room.

Head coach Nigel Pearson is a bit overwhelmed.

He has failed to advance to the Premier League for two consecutive seasons since he took office in 2011.

Although the owner Vichai is rich, he is not a philanthropist.

The board of directors has issued him an ultimatum. If he still fails to advance to the Premier League this season, Nigel Pearson will pack up and leave.

For this reason, head coach Pearson and the coaching staff have carefully studied the current lineup.

The goalkeeper position is Danish national goalkeeper Schmeichel, the son of Manchester United legendary goalkeeper Schmeichel.

He is focused and good at attacking. He is very confident in handling high-altitude balls, and he is very good at kicking the ball and throwing the ball to launch an attack.

Although he is occasionally nervous and his goal-line skills are not as good as those of top goalkeepers, at least he has the strength of the Premier League.

The main central defenders Wes Morgan and Liam Moore are both strong and typical British central defenders, which is enough to play against ordinary Championship teams.

Full-backs Richie De Laet and Paul Konchesky are also at the level of lower-tier Premier League teams and can firmly hold their starting positions.

In the midfield, the two wingers Anthony Connaughton and Paul Gallagher are not fast, but their dribbling skills are outstanding, standing out among the rough guys in the Championship.

The central midfielders include the core Andy King, and

Manchester United's youth training double stars Drinking Water Brother and Matty James.

All three are good at running and fighting, and are relatively balanced in all aspects.

Andy King is actually good at scoring from behind, not a player like Xavi.

But he is the only one with a slightly higher passing level in the team, and he is forced to serve as the midfield hub.

Last season, the team's offense was mediocre and could not form an absolute suppression force.

This is also the reason why coach Nigel has a headache.

The team lacks an organizational core to deliver artillery shells!

So when he saw Lin Mo continuously sending out fatal long passes, he decided to take a gamble and sign Lin Mo.

There is no need to worry about the forward line,

Chris Wood and Martin Voghorn are both excellent forwards, plus Jamie Vardy who has shown his edge!

Leicester City has no worries about the people who score goals, the key is the people who create opportunities!

"How is Lin doing these days?"

"He is the most active and serious in training, coming the earliest and leaving the latest every day.

Assistant coach Shakespeare said with emotion,

"I have never seen a young man so hard on himself. He trained so hard, as if he had lost something."

"That's good." Pearson breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the players have basic professional qualities, even if they are not so talented, they can at least grow into qualified stars.

Moreover, Lin has a strange talent. At first glance, it seems ordinary, but when you observe carefully, it is terrifying.

"It's just that he seems to have not participated in official games for more than a year due to a serious injury, and his overall game state needs to be adjusted."

Before Lin Mo signed the contract, scout David Mills had already examined his information in detail.

Including his previous youth training in Lianhai Shide, participating in the Chinese Super League, and playing in the group stage of the Asian Youth Championship, all the game videos that could be collected were carefully studied.

"As for Lin, let’s investigate more slowly...By the way, have the other people who are investigating made any progress?"

"The two players from the French league are under observation. Mahrez can try to talk, but as for the black defensive midfielder, he doesn't want to leave the team for the time being."

"That’s it, the starting lineup remains the same as last season. There is still a week until the opening game, and the first game must be won!"

"clear!"

……

Lin Mo's guess was right!

Training can indeed improve specific data!

After joining the team, Lin Mo began to train desperately, as if he wanted to make up for the time wasted in the past year!

Not only in the past year, since he started professional football training at the age of 6, Lin Mo felt that he had lost at the starting line.

There are many reasons why the level of domestic football is so far behind the world.

In addition to the troubles of the Football Association, there is a big gap in the scientific level of basic youth football training and professional echelon training.

Whether it is 2013 or 2023, many football enlightenment coaches are teaching players in the way of the 1980s, which leads to the fact that the basic skills of young players have not been well developed from the beginning.

The ball sense, dribbling, physical confrontation, etc. of other 8-year-old children have already taken shape, while the technical movements of domestic children are still being recited by the book, which is quite formalistic.

It looks decent, but it is nothing in actual combat.

Not to mention the professional echelon of the Chinese Super League, from coaches to training equipment to management level, what stands out is a grass-roots team.

The training facilities at Lianhai Shide where Lin Mo was previously located were not even as good as those at Leicester City, let alone at the level of English Football League Two.

Taking advantage of the fact that the team was equipped with fitness and strength coaches, a professional gym and various facilities,

Lin Mo trained himself like crazy every day under a scientific training plan. In just two weeks, his physical condition, speed, dribbling and other indicators have all increased to a certain extent. There are also sub-items behind each major item, such as acceleration 60→61, dribbling balance 64→65, ball control 65→66, endurance 60→61, strength 59→60...

These data have all increased by 1 point, allowing Lin Mo to enjoy the timely feedback brought by intuitive data!

At the end of the training that day, Lin Mo was about to practice more, but assistant coach Shakespeare came to the front of the venue with a smile on his face.

"Guys, today we are going to have a group competition to test the results of your pre-season training!"

"The opening match is just a few days away. If you perform well, you might be able to get a starting position!"

When the players heard the word"starting", their eyes lit up!

No professional player wants to just sit there and wait for the best. Everyone hopes to be able to stay in the starting lineup and get more game opportunities. But there are only 11 positions, and there are only 18 spots for the substitutes.

No matter how good the atmosphere is, there is still a cruel competition!

"Refer to this for the group list. Team 2, put on your vests quickly, we have to hurry up!"

Lin Mo heard this and hurried over to find his name.

Sure enough, he and Vardy were both in Team 2!

Team 1 was the starting lineup last season!

It was the main force vs. the substitutes again, a repeat of the previous entertainment game!

"Lin, I won't lose this time."

Andy King grinned as he looked at the list. He finally found a chance for revenge!

As long as he beat Lin Mo in the training match, he could prove that he was better than him and keep his position as the starting midfielder!

Otherwise... his position as the core of the midfield might be lost!

Lin Mo had already put on his yellow vest, and he was eager to try and wait for the game to start!

These days of training gave him a new understanding of the trick [All-round Pass]! He could try it out on the court at that time!
