this is football

Lei Ou didn't think that far ahead. The most important thing now is to train hard and try to join the Barcelona first team.

As for which country you will play for in the future?

Let’s talk about it then, my aunt will definitely go crazy if she plays for Spain.

But when it comes to joining the Chinese football team, Lei Ou is not willing. He probably won't even be able to participate in the World Cup.

After the vacation, Leiou returned to La Masia and officially started his playing career.

Contrary to what Lei Ou imagined, La Masia Football School is actually no different from other schools.

There are also various cultural courses, such as mathematics, Chinese, English and other courses.

There isn't that much time for training.

In comparison, u16 is pretty good, with only four training sessions a week, each session lasting about two hours.

Lei Ou didn't quite understand this.

Fortunately, he still has Mira. Not only do the two have similar personalities, but they also have similar habits.

While others are sleeping, they practice physical fitness.

While others were in class, they practiced football.

He is totally out of tune with other students.

Therefore, they naturally become different in the eyes of others.

Puyol knew this and called the two of them to the office and poured them two cups of coffee.

"I don't mean to criticize you, but the school has school rules and you can't act without authorization."

Puyol got straight to the point and put forward his own opinions.

For more than a month, Lei Ou has been calling Mira Spanish every day. With his hard work, simple conversations are now possible.

"Mr. Puyol, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Mira asked in confusion.

He's not pretending not to know, he really doesn't know.

In his mind, he did nothing wrong and came to La Masia just to play football.

As for the rest, it doesn't matter.

Seeing Mila's serious expression, Puyol smiled and said: "I mean, you two should go to class normally. La Masia is a school where you not only learn football, but also learn cultural knowledge.

Not everyone can become a professional footballer, there are other paths available."

This is La Masia’s teaching philosophy.

However, the two people disagreed with this.

Mira understood what Puyol said and the school's considerations, but she didn't know how to refute, and her face looked anxious.

Lei Ou took a sip of coffee and said: "Mr. Puyol, we understand what you mean, but we are sorry, but we cannot agree."

"Others can't become professional players. Maybe there are other paths to choose from, but we don't."

"Have you ever heard of a saying? A child without an umbrella can only run as hard as he can. This is our real situation. There is no way out, so we work so hard, to the point of desperately trying!"

Bang bang bang!

Mira's face turned red, she was excited, and she clapped her hands vigorously.

What he couldn't say, his best friend expressed perfectly.

Puyol savored Lei Ou's words carefully and frowned slightly without realizing it.

Indeed, for the two of them, there is probably no way out.

After a long time, Puyol said: "But you will be squeezed out by other students."

Nowadays, they have been excluded just because they are "alternative".

Lei Ou said seriously: "It doesn't matter, we rely on our skills to gain a foothold!"

In this regard, the two people are obviously very insistent.

Puyol was helpless and said nothing more after persuading him to no avail, but deep down he expressed admiration for the two of them.

In this day and age, few people work so hard.

Milla will definitely become a professional player, and there is a high probability that he will gain a foothold in the Barcelona first team.

As for Lei Ou, although his talent is not that perfect, it is not bad either.

What more could you ask for?

Therefore, Puyol gave the green light to the way the two trained and did not let the coach embarrass them.

…

…

In the evening, after finishing their run, the two sat on the grass and chatted.

"Mira, let me give you a suggestion."

Lei Ou said with a piece of grass in his mouth.

Those who are close to red are red, I learned this from big brother Mila.

"What advice?"

Mira is eating grass.

Lei Ou thought for a while and said: "Your advantage lies in body speed and running position, but I think it is not enough. Your skills are not comprehensive enough, and you are a bit like an opportunist."

The two often play together or watch each other play, and are quite familiar with each other's technical characteristics.

Mira is about 1.8 meters tall, strong, fast and flexible, which are his strengths.

But in La Masia's system, which plays pass-and-control football, there aren't that many opportunities.

Mira thought for a while and nodded seriously: "Yes, Lei Ou, now I can score goals, which is a bit of a dimension reduction attack. Once you meet professional players, the physical advantage cannot be shown, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome, especially in

Within the Barcelona system.”

Under Lei Ou's reminder, Mira also realized her own shortcomings.

"What's your suggestion?" Mira asked.

Lei Ou said: "You have to practice your ability to pick up the ball with your back and make moves. This is the most important quality that a big center should possess."

"Playing behind the back to get the ball and make the ball?"

Mira pondered for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

He understands.

The opponent can limit physical advantages, block runs and shots, but it is difficult for them to block passes and ball plays.

With the advantage of being a big center, if I can hold the ball and have excellent passing ability, I will definitely improve myself further.

"Lei Ou, thank you!"

"Why are you so polite to me?"

Lei Ou chewed the grass in his mouth and it tasted pretty good.

"But... Lei Ou, what are your technical characteristics?"

Mira said suddenly, with a little confusion in her eyes.

Although I have been watching Lei Guo play football, I still don’t understand it.

He is very fast, has good passing awareness, and has an excellent view of the overall situation, but these abilities do not seem to be particularly outstanding.

Of course, this is particularly outstanding when compared with professional players.

Their goal is to become professional players.

Lei Ou was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "I know a little bit, but I'm not that proficient, so I have to practice hard and tap into my technical characteristics."

"Lei Ou, your left foot shooting ability is better than your right foot, right?" Mira asked.

"Yes, I can shoot with both feet, but my left foot is slightly better than my right foot." Lei Ou answered truthfully.

Mira smiled and said: "I'm telling you about two superstars, one is called Robben and the other is called Messi..."

"Are you going to say..." Lei Ou was quite shocked.

When it comes to these two people, they both have one technical characteristic: cutting in and shooting.

At the front of the penalty area, move from the right to the left, and then shoot.

This line is called the Robben Corridor or the Messi Corridor.

"You have excellent dribbling ability and a flexible body, so you are suitable for practicing this trick." Mira said.

Lei Ou thought about it seriously and said: "This move is indeed suitable for me, but it is not enough. I also need to practice passing with my right foot."

On the right, you can cut in with your left foot and shoot, or you can cross with your right foot.

This is so hard to guard against!

Hearing this, Mira gave a thumbs up: "You will definitely succeed!"
