Chapter 8: High imitation of Arsenal, moral kidnapping of Manchester United
Ashley Yang was completely impressed by Lu Kai and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Lu Kai said two words: "Cut inside!"

Ashley Young was visibly stunned.

Because cutting inside is a more radical way of attack than dribbling forward. If he can't even move forward, how can he cut inside well?

Lu Kai saw the doubt in his heart and said, "In fact, cutting inside does require more courage, but it doesn't necessarily require better skills."

"Today, when I was one-on-one with you, I mostly used the inside-cutting technique."

"That means suddenly changing direction, creating space, and shooting."

“It’s not operationally complicated.”

"As for specific dribbling and ball control skills, I'm actually not as good as you. I believe you can feel it too."

Ashley Young nodded.

Lu Kai then stood up, brought out a chair from the convenience store and placed it on the left side outside the penalty area.

Then he pushed the ball from the left and rushed towards the chair. When he was close to the chair, he suddenly pushed the ball to the right and followed up with a shot. The football went straight into the net.

"You try it." Lu Kai kicked the football to Ashley Young.

Ashley Young followed suit and cut inside, but he wanted to do it faster.

As a result, the ball flew away when he was dribbling it, and he was unable to complete the subsequent shot.

The second time, he kicked the ball at a smaller angle, and the football hit the chair, changing its trajectory.

The third time, Ashley Young, who was in a hurry to succeed, even bumped into a chair and fell.

Lu Kai then said slowly, "Cutting inside may seem simple, but timing is crucial."

"If we act too early, the opponent will easily judge us and lose the breakthrough effect."

"If it's too late, we'll bump into each other and affect our subsequent actions."

"Only lots of repetition can help you find that point."

Ashley Young nodded, knowing what she had to do.

Then began repeated inside shooting training.

After learning about this, Alfred was very puzzled as to why Lu Kai did not teach To Madera the cutting technique.

Alfred: "If To Madera learns this trick, it will be very effective, right?"

Lu Kai asked in return, "What could be more suitable for To Madeira than kicking the ball out and then devouring his opponent with speed?"

"Cutting inside requires strong dribbling skills, and To Madeira doesn't have that ability at the moment."

"Rather than cutting inside to create threats, he should learn how to shoot and cross."

"Because of his technical characteristics, he is destined to have many one-on-one opportunities."

Alfred suddenly realized: "Developing a customized training plan based on the players' technical characteristics! This is a very advanced educational concept. Did Wenger teach you this?"

Lu Kai shook his head. "Confucius taught me that. In China, it's called teaching students in accordance with their aptitude."

Alfred: "Confucius is also a football coach?"

Lu Kai smiled. "About the same. He's a travel blogger with great eloquence and writing skills, but he also knows a bit about fighting."

……

A few days later, it was competition day again.

The 17th round of the Kent Premier League has begun.

Dartford Royal VCD will still play at home, and their opponent is Croydon, which is ranked 15th in the league.

The last-to-last and the second-to-last are two brothers in distress.

The victory in the last round obviously stimulated the Dartford fans, and nearly three hundred local fans flocked to the game.

This significantly exceeds the team's 125 registered fans.

It exceeds the seventy-eight seats in the stadium.

Of course, the stadiums in England's lower levels and amateur leagues are mainly "standing seats", that is, people stand around the stadium to watch the game.

Like the Pond Stadium, there are only seventy-eight seats, but the stadium actually has a capacity of about one thousand people.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, which school can't have at least a thousand people standing around the track during a sports meet?
If you bring your own bench, you can even sit down.

Looking at the grand occasion, Emily took the initiative to come to Lu Kai to take credit.

She hugged Lu Kai's arm, shook it and said, "The method you proposed is really effective. My new article is on the front page again!"

After winning the last round, Lu Kai asked Emily to publish a report.

Beckenham suffered a banana shot! G. Arsenal won 3-2!

The word for Beckenham is "Beckenham".

Beckham's first name is "Beckham".

The word for Arsenal is "Arsenal".

The word for Arsenal Green is "Green Arsenal", abbreviated as "G·Arsenal".

So at first glance, ignoring some incomprehensible symbols and letters, this headline can easily be understood as "Beckham suffers a banana shot! Arsenal wins 3-2 with a last-minute victory"!
I just want to ask which Premier League fan would not click in to take a look?
result……

Those are all high imitations.

The fans were numb.

But unlike pure clickbait titles, this issue of The Sun still has substance. After simply attracting traffic, it explains in detail the origins of Dartford Royal VCD and Arsenal.

When Royal VCD was founded, seven of the players on the team came from Arsenal, which had already changed its name from "Dale Square Team" to "Royal Arsenal".

So they are just taking advantage of this traffic.

There is a reason why people call Arsen Green.

In addition, Lu Kai, who scored the banana goal, also has some connection with Beckham.

The article mentioned that in the match where Lu Kai was seriously injured in Arsenal U13 youth training, the opponent was Manchester United U13, and Beckham also welcomed the arrival of the young players from both sides as a home guest before the game.

As a result, Lu Kai was seriously injured by Manchester United's Fletcher.

Nearly two years later, Lu Kai scored directly with a banana free kick, as if telling the world that his feud with Manchester United has not been resolved.

This is street dance, bah... this is bond!

The media then interviewed Beckham.

How could Beckham remember these things?
But the superstar's self-cultivation made him say politely: "Oh, I remember that kid, he performed very well at that time."

"That injury was an accident, and no one wants something like that to happen."

"I'm very happy that he can return to the world of football. I'm even more surprised that he can take such a wonderful free kick. I know better than anyone how much hard work this kind of footwork requires behind the scenes."

"I hope he can enjoy football now!"

Beckham's words made many fans pay attention to Lu Kai.

Therefore, this ninth-level league match had nearly three hundred fans attending.

Otherwise, if we only rely on Dartford's own fans, 150 people at most would be the maximum.

……

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

However, the game was uneventful throughout the first half.

Neither side scored a goal.

Zero to zero.

Many people cried out that they had been cheated.

The child Beckham mentioned did not have any outstanding performance.

On the contrary, the little black bean on the left has first-class skills and creates a lot of threats.
