There is a dream called football

In the training after the game day, there will be laughter and laughter in the Carrington base, because Ferguson will arrange some relatively relaxed training content, mainly focusing on recovery, and rarely high-intensity training, unless the performance is really bad.

.

"stop."

Ferguson called out to Li Qiao.

"You should pass the ball a little wider."

Li Qiao wondered: "But my ball is handed to the forward's feet. Isn't that bad?"

Ferguson shook his head.

"Of course it's not good. This is England, not Spain. We are Manchester United, not Arsenal. Our football needs impact."

Impact!!

Ferguson clenched his fists as if he was about to fight.

"Impact."

"You have to rush up first to have impact, you know?"

Ferguson said very excitedly, and Li Qiao nodded.

"So the pass needs to be bigger, so that it can be rushed, and Rooney can also rush."

Li Qiao suddenly thought of the Iranian team in Asia. It seemed that they were doing just that, one ball forward, and then they hit it with their own impact.

"I see."

But don’t think that Ferguson is asking the team to play rough. In fact, it is quite the opposite. This kind of passing requires higher requirements. In fact, it is the so-called passing advance. Although the ball is not given to the feet, it does not mean that the ball can be

It sounds big, but how big is it?

This is like a little bit in Chinese cooking. How much is this "little bit"? That's a technical job.

But Li Qiao didn't worry about this. He cooperated a few times and slowly understood that Li Qiao was staring at one person at this time, that was Ronaldo, because Li Qiao wanted to learn the elevator ball skill.

Li Qiao's free kick is based on Germany's science, but it is a curve ball, and Li Qiao knows that in the future football world, the elevator ball will be the real king.

Later, almost all free kick masters who could be named in football were elevator kick masters, such as Pirlo, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Bale.

This is true even in Asia. For example, Keisuke Honda is a master of elevator ball.

It can be seen that this is a future technology trend, so Li Qiao really wants to learn elevator ball from Ronaldo, but...

Cristiano Ronaldo seems to be difficult to get in touch with. Cristiano Ronaldo is a cool person, and he is not arrogant, but he is always a person who is not easy to get in touch with, so Li Qiao was still timid at first.

Li Qiao took a bottle of water and went over.

"Hi, Cristiano."

Cristiano Ronaldo was a little stunned at first, because he and Li Qiao actually had nothing to do with each other, and they were not usually friends.

The only people Li Qiao can talk to at Manchester United are Rooney and Nani.

Ronaldo took the water.

"Thanks, Joe."

“Are we speaking Portuguese or English?”

Ronaldo was stunned and said, "Anything is fine."

The awkward chat suddenly became irreversible, and Li Qiao found that the situation was worse than he imagined.

So... Li Qiao decided to confess.

"Cristiano, your elevator ball is very good, can you teach me."

Cristiano Ronaldo, but after a while, Cristiano Ronaldo was happy, "So that's what happened, of course it's possible, I can teach you."

Li Qiao was happy, "How about starting?"

"ok."

There are many lawns in Carrington. Ronaldo and Li Qiao found a lawn, and Ronaldo first placed a ball on the ground.

"Cristiano, why do you have to pose like this?" Li Qiao asked as he also assumed a compass stance.

"It's easy to exert force. In addition, this is also my habit, because the most important thing in taking free kicks is rhythm, and I can find the rhythm I want in this way."

Li Qiao nodded.

Rhythm.

In fact, whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Beckham, they all have their own unique rhythm when running up, and the secret of taking free kicks is actually hidden in these rhythms.

After Ronaldo finished speaking, he started to run up, and an elevator ball went around the wall and fell into the empty goal.

"Come and try."

Li Qiao has also practiced elevator ball, but it is far from being able to use it in games.

approach.

Draw the ball.

Li Qiao knows the principle of the elevator ball, just like the principle of drawing the ball in table tennis, which is to draw the ball with topspin.

But in football, this is very difficult.

Li Qiao hit the ball with his kick, and the ball flew upwards, but did not fall as expected.

This is the most difficult thing about the elevator ball. It can go up, but cannot go down. How can you make the ball fall quickly in such a short distance?

Ronaldo shook his head, "No, no."

"What's wrong?"

This is the link that Li Qiao is looking forward to the most, because he really doesn’t know what’s wrong, and if Ronaldo can point it out to him, wouldn’t he be able to correct it next? And after correcting, he can master the real truth.

Elevator ball.

But Ronaldo's answer made Li Qiao sweat on his forehead.

"The rhythm is wrong."

"Rhythm?"

…

…

It's like cooking, and the teacher says you didn't add much salt, and you ask, what's wrong? The teacher says, a little, but you added too much.

"Joe, your action is absolutely correct. It's like drawing a ball in a table tennis ball. I think you understand."

Li Qiao nodded.

"But the rhythm is wrong. If the rhythm is right, the ball will fall. It's like playing table tennis. When the rhythm is reached, the ball can be drawn accurately."

Li Qiao seems to understand it, but one thing is for sure, that is, it requires practice.

It seems that there are no shortcuts in this aspect.

"Cristiano, can I copy your movements exactly?"

"Of course, I haven't applied for a patent."

"hehe."

Li Qiao continued to practice. He first memorized Ronaldo's kicking moves in his mind, and then started practicing on his own. Even his standing posture completely imitated Ronaldo, but after practicing for half an hour, the effect was not good.

good.

At this time, Li Qiao may have forgotten a Chinese idiom: "Handan learns to walk!"

Li Qiao blindly imitated, not only did he not learn from Ronaldo, but he also forgot his own skills.

So...

I have to say that elevator ball is not as simple as Li Qiao thought. No wonder there are only a handful of elevator ball masters in Europe. There are probably no more than 10 people in Europe who know this technique.

Li Qiao calmed down his mind, returned to his original technical state, and shot the ball in a way he understood.

Li Qiao's mind was completely empty.

Then he kicked the ball, and the ball drew an arc and flew into the goal.

Ronaldo applauded from the sidelines.

"Joe, actually you don't need to practice the elevator ball at all. Your curve ball is great, and I think this is also your specialty."

Li Qiao nodded. It seemed like this. Maybe he didn't need to be omnipotent. As the saying goes, one trick can be used all over the world.

"Thank you, Cristiano, I'll think about it."
