Fox in the Penalty Area

"Yordy, where's your dad?"

Sofia asked her son, who was watching TV in the living room.

"I don't know, Mom." The son said without looking back as his eyes were fixed on the TV screen.

From his answer, Sophia felt perfunctory.

She knew that her son's mind was all on the cartoon at this time, and she gave a reflexive answer without thinking about the question she just asked.

She sighed and decided not to disturb her son's TV viewing. Since he was so focused on watching TV, it was naturally impossible for him to know where his father was.

When her husband came back, she briefly chatted with him and asked him how he felt at the club today.

He told himself it was business as usual.

Then she went to do her own thing.

Now she suddenly remembered and found that her husband had not shown up since then. She was a little curious, so she went to ask her son who was in the living room.

As a result, the son knew nothing.

Sophia, who didn't get any answers from her son, went directly upstairs. She guessed her husband was upstairs.

As expected, she saw her husband standing by the window in the bedroom.

He was looking in the direction of his neighbor.

"What are you looking at here again?" she asked.

Kaili didn't look back and continued to look far away and said, "You can't see their yard from this angle."

The wife stepped forward and followed his gaze: "What do you want to see?"

"I talked to Hu after practice today," Carey said.

The wife was surprised and curious: "What did you say?"

"I told him what he should do if he wanted to get out of the situation he was in."

Sophia was no longer surprised, but shocked.

She looked at her husband in shock.

It was as if Kaili hadn't seen his wife's eyes.

He said to himself: "I was thinking that his core girlfriend of the Madrid Kings women's football team should teach him how to do it."

"This way, you can defend me from behind."

Standing in the backyard, Li Qingqing pointed to Hu Lai behind him.

Hu Lai stood behind Li Qingqing obediently.

But Li Qingqing looked back and said, "Put your hands up, Hu Lai. Is this how you usually defend in games?"

"I'm a striker!" Hu Lai said this, but he still raised his hand and put it behind Li Qingqing.

Li Qingqing leaned back: "Harder, harder."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Hu Lai said, while holding Li Qingqing's body leaning back hard with his hand.

"What are you thinking about! Focus, it's class time now!" Li Qingqing felt the power from behind and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, coach..." Hu Lai replied weakly.

At this moment, Li Qingqing kicked the football under his feet against the wall.

The football bounced off the wall and landed at her feet.

As for Li Qingqing, when the football bounced back to her feet, her body slammed back. When Hu Lai focused all her attention on the physical confrontation with Li Qingqing, she stepped lightly on the ball behind her.

The football slipped between Hu Lai's legs.

At the same time, Li Qingqing also stayed close to Hu Lai, using him as an axis, completed a turn, caught up with the football, and easily scored the ball into the small goal in front.

Then she turned to Hu Lai, who was still in a daze, and said: "You see, it's like this. When you are pushed by your opponent, you can only turn your back to the goal. If you have the ability to send the football under the opponent's crotch, and then turn around, you can A threat to the goal."

Hu Lai came back to his senses, but shook his head and said: "This won't work. The penalty area is a place where the fault tolerance rate of time and space is very low. Such a turn requires too much space. When I turn around like this, I haven't caught up yet. As for football, the ball has already been caught by the goalkeeper..."

Li Qingqing rolled his eyes at him: "Who said it can only be used in the penalty area. Although most of your goals are in the penalty area, are you the same person who could only score in the penalty area before? You can score in the penalty area, It will work wonders if you use it on the restricted area line, where the requirements for space and time are relatively low. And I just gave an example. There are many other situations where different methods are needed. How can coping be summed up in a single turn?”

Having said this, Li Qingqing paused and looked at Hu Lai carefully to make sure that he really understood the meaning of his words this time before continuing: "...In short, improve your ball control ability, and It’s not just about learning a few techniques, so you will naturally know what to do when faced with different situations.”

Hu Lai rushed to say: "I stopped the ball very well..."

"It's about controlling the ball, not stopping the ball. Stopping the ball is just stopping the ball, and controlling the ball...stopping the ball is just the first step." Li Qingqing shook his head and explained.

"What to do when you stop the ball, how to do it, this is 'possession'. Just like what I just did to you, while stopping the ball, lightly step the football between your legs, and then turn around These are all things I thought about before I stopped the ball. When I stopped the ball, I did everything I had to do. Just because you are at the front line, the time and space you can control are extremely limited, so you You need to do everything to the extreme. The first thing is to stop the ball well. I know your stop is good, but it is not good enough. You need to be better. It is not just as simple as stopping the ball. If you can stop the ball, It would be even better if you pass your opponent at the same time. Just like the winning goal when you competed with the South China Tigers for the Chinese Super League championship..."

Hu Lai remembered which ball Li Qingqing was talking about.

At the last moment of the game, Lin Ge directly launched a long pass from the backcourt. He burst into the front alone, with Lin Zhiyuan blocking him in front of him and Yao Huasheng chasing after him.

He had no time to stop the ball before shooting.

Even if he chooses to stop the football, it means the failure of this offense.

So at that time, while stopping the ball, he passed Lin Zhiyuan and Yao Huasheng in one breath, and then formed an opportunity to hit an empty goal.

It was a very beautiful goal. It was beautiful because he stopped the ball. He passed the ball with consecutive stops and broke through the siege.

That was not a regular stop, and any formal football training structure would not teach its academy to do this kind of stop.

But it is indeed after using the technical action of stopping the ball very proficiently, and then supplementing it with some imagination and quick wit, this kind of stoppage that does not appear in the textbooks was born.

With Hu Lai's ability at that time, he really had a flash of inspiration, and he didn't even know what was going on, and his body completed the entire set of actions.

To put it simply, it's a stroke of luck.

"... On the basis of stopping the ball well, you can also improve your ball control, control of the football, judgment of the situation on the field, and make correct decisions at the same time... These are the aspects that Kyrie thinks you should improve. He's right, Hu Lai. Once you master this ability, you can create opportunities when there are no opportunities in the first place."

After Li Qingqing finished speaking, she looked at Hu Lai with light in her eyes.

Because she finally has to be Hu Lai's coach again. Since Hu Lai's left foot has been basically trained, there is very little that Li Qingqing can teach Hu Lai.

She was happy that she could play a role in Hu Lai becoming stronger.

Just like how she initially helped Hu Lai get started as a rookie with extremely poor physical coordination.

Hu Lai looked at the football in the small goal, thinking about what Li Qingqing said just now, and imagining what it would be like for him to play football on the court like Li Qingqing described.

He doesn't need to pass several people near the penalty area before sending the football into the goal.

He just needs to be able to use his skills to get rid of the defense and create murderous opportunities at the most critical moment.

Since then, after mastering more advanced ball-handling skills, what is actually more tested is the on-the-spot adaptability and imagination.

In the past games, it's not like Hu Lai didn't score goals with a flash of inspiration, it was really just a flash of inspiration.

But at least it means that I should be talented in this area. Otherwise, how can I shine if I don’t even have the aura?

He has a lot more confidence in his future.

With Li Qingqing's careful guidance, combined with his own training in formal training classes, and the use of plug-ins, if you want to practice, you can definitely practice it.

And he doesn't need to train to become a player like Melli. The energy and time he spends are still within the acceptable range.

After thinking so much, he nodded to Li Qingqing standing next to him: "Then let's practice!"

"Okay." Li Qingqing said, "But there is still something important about what to practice first and what to practice later. We can't practice step by step because we don't have so much time. We still have to pick the most important parts to practice. You are always forced to practice during the game. If your back is facing the direction of the attack, then we will focus on training you on how to break the game when your back is turned to the goal."

After saying that, she passed the football to Hu Lai and signaled Hu Lai to pass it to her again.

Hu Lai obediently kicked the football to Li Qingqing.

When the latter catches the ball, he wraps the football with the inside of his right foot and gently sends it behind him. At the same time, when sending the ball, he uses his left foot as the axis to turn around quickly. :.

"Just like this, you can get rid of your opponent in one breath when stopping the ball! You can also use feints with your upper body to make the opponent make mistakes..."

"But there is a problem, Maxi." Sophia frowned after listening to her husband's words. "You told Hu what to strengthen, but it can't be done right away. This won't solve the team's current problems..."

"Football training is not about doing math problems. If you don't get the answer to the last step, you can't score. As long as he can produce some results, he can use them in the game." Carey said.

"And I've watched him train, and I don't know why, but he's improving very quickly in training. It's like his left foot."

Sophia stopped talking. She also knew the story about Hu Lai's left foot.

Since her husband is Hu Lai's teammate, she knows more than the outside world knows.

For example, she knew that Hu Laizai only started consciously training his left foot on the first day he came to Madrid Pirates. His left foot was really bad at that time.

As a result, it can be seen with the naked eye that Hu Lai's left foot is getting better and better.

By the time of the Madrid derby against the Kings of Madrid, he could already penetrate the Kings' goal twice with his left foot.

Although Hu Lai said after the game that it was all a trick.

But Sophia knew that wasn't it.

So...maybe, my husband's advice can actually have some effect?

But isn't he helping his competitors?

After teaching Hu Lai, will the team still need him?

Sofia couldn't understand why her husband did this.

She didn't even ask.

Because she guessed that even if she asked, her husband would probably not tell her.

He always does things based on his mood. Maybe he happens to be in a good mood today... We provide you with the fastest update of Fox in the Zone, Chapter 142: Controlling the Ball, free to read. :.
