There is a dream called football

Chapter 34 Cage Challenge

"Did he really reject Real Madrid's B team?" Gomez wondered.

"Haha, when I was young, I rejected the Real Madrid first team. Do you believe it?"

"hehe."

Vallee shouted to start.

With a bang, something hit Li Qiao's back. This time it was so sudden that Li Qiao was caught off guard.

I saw that the blue frame that lit up at 9 o'clock turned red.

"fail."

An electronic sound was a bit harsh.

"So this is how it works?"

This was Li Qiao's first time training in a cage, and it felt very unfamiliar. He remembered that he had also trained on shooting accuracy before, but that was the most primitive method, using a ball to kick red fire hydrants in the community.

In essence, cage training is no different from kicking a fire hydrant. They both test shooting accuracy, but it is much more difficult.

"Come on, Chinese boy." Gomez said to himself.

Valle smiled slightly and said, "You are such a good old man. You will never be a head coach like this, because sometimes the head coach needs to be more cruel."

Gomez smiled and said, "Then I will be an assistant coach."

In fact, the head coach and the assistant coach often play the good role and the bad role. For example, when Ferguson and Keane had a falling out, it was Ferguson's assistant Queiroz who came out to be the peacemaker.

The first ball was an accident.

Soon the second ball popped out from the 7 o'clock direction.

Li Qiao turned around to catch the ball, made a slight adjustment, looked up, and saw that the blue frame was at 12 o'clock.

A shot hit the frame, but it still failed.

"You're over time."

Li Qiao looked at the camera. It turned out that the camera also had a conversation function.

At this time, the ball rolled from the 15 o'clock direction. Li Qiao stepped on the ball and turned his head to look.

"Depend on."

It turns out that the "cage" played a trick this time. The ball came from the 15 o'clock direction, and the area where the blue frame lit up was also from this side.

Li Qiao turned his head and wasted two seconds and hit another shot, but it timed out again.

The first three opportunities all failed.

Li Qiao's heart began to feel nervous, this...

Do I have no connection with this famous black shop in Porto?

The fourth ball became particularly critical.

The ball shot out from the 10 o'clock direction. After Li Qiao stopped the ball, he used his peripheral vision to see the blue light shining in the 17 o'clock direction.

"We must increase the intensity of our shooting and speed up the ball, otherwise it will time out even if we hit the target."

But increasing the intensity also means that the control of the football is reduced. Generally, explosive shots are easily missed.

But Li Qiao couldn't care so much, he used his calf force and shot with a kick.

Ding dong.

The blue frame turns green.

"success."

"So this is what success looks like! It's so cool!"

Valle and Gomez looked at each other with smiles on their faces. The players Sosa found this time were at least somewhat reliable and not rookies, but there was still a gap between them and the Portuguese Super League giants like Porto.

"Not bad, but not good enough." Vallee smiled.

After the first challenge was successful, Li Qiao felt relieved, and soon the fifth ball rolled from the 6 o'clock direction.

Li Qiao once again chose to shoot, but this time he failed to hold down the ball and the ball flew away.

Li Qiao scored one goal in the first five opportunities, which means that if he wants to fulfill Valais' request, he must succeed in all the next five goals.

This seems like an impossible challenge.

"Chinese boy, do you want to give up?"

"No." Li Qiao replied firmly.

"It's interesting." Vallee thought to himself.

"Take a minute's rest. There is a half-time break in football. This tradition cannot be lost."

This minute was too precious for Li Qiao. He thought of Haji and his life in the training camp.

"What would Haji do if he were here?"

"How can we hit the ball quickly and accurately in the shortest time?"

A minute passed quickly, and Valais reminded: "If you fail again, the challenge will be over."

"Thanks for the reminder, Mr. Coach."

As the saying goes, the master leads you in, and cultivation depends on the individual.

Youth training in Europe is all very strong, but why are the people they train so different? One thing is very important. Excellent players are lifelong learners and are constantly improving.

Li Qiao thought, "Since we can't reach that fast with our eyes alone, we should use all our senses."

Hearing, smell, and even the sixth sense, anyway, use all that you can use. If you fail, you will have to try out with another club.

Li Qiao found that it was very quiet inside the cage, but the ball machine would make a harsh noise the moment it served, so he closed his eyes.

"What is this kid doing?" Gomez wondered.

Valais saw the clues and said with a smile: "He knows how to use his brain."

Bang.

The ball was shot from behind by the server. Li Qiao did not turn around. He raised his leg and stepped on the ball. The blue frame in front of him lit up.

Li Qiao hit the ball into the frame.

"success."

Second goal!

There were still four goals left, and his chance to make a mistake was gone. The ball came again. This time Li Qiao still used his "ears" to catch the ball, and then used his eyes to find the "goal", which is the blue frame.

Enter!

The third ball.

Gomez showed an incredulous expression, "Why did he suddenly become enlightened?"

Valle smiled and said: "I said, this kid can play football with his brain."

fourth!

The fifth goal!

Very suspenseful.

Gomez was completely attracted by what was happening in the cage, and his heartbeat was beating with Li Qiao, as if he was participating in the test at this time.

"You seem more nervous than him." Valais chuckled.

"His performance has exceeded my expectations, Ilidio, I think we should keep him."

Valle shook his finger, "The rules are the rules, it just depends on the last ball?"

High concentration can easily make a person tired. By the time of the last ball, Li Qiao was out of breath.

"It's the last goal. As long as I complete the challenge, I can start my football career in Porto."

Under the heavy pressure, Li Qiao couldn't help but tremble.

The ball rolled from the 9 o'clock direction. Li Qiao stretched out his left foot to stop the ball, but this time he touched the ball a little bit.

"Damn."

The adjustment took a while, but when Li Qiao sent the ball into the blue frame...

The red light is on!

"fail."

Li Qiao's whole body was turned to stone as if struck by five thunders.

Gomez beat his chest with both hands, "I hate this cage, I hate you."

Valle smiled faintly. Of course he had seen everything just now. Except for the first ball, which he did not make any moves because he was not familiar with the rules, the other 9 balls were all hit, but some of them timed out.

"Sosa really surprised me this time. Where did he find this kid?"

At this time Valais remembered what Li Qiao said that he rejected Real Madrid's B team.

"Could this be true?"

Valais has made up his mind to keep Li Qiao, but he has not completed the challenge, so he must find a way out for himself.
