Chapter 15 First Day of Class B Training

Willie Football School has a habit of morning runs.

At six o'clock in the morning, each team, led by their respective coaches, gathers on the playground for a morning run, which serves as a form of discipline training.

Morning runs are not very intense; at most, they are just a way to wake up the body's functions.

Wei Lai also met with his teammates from these second-tier teams again today.

After finishing his morning run, Wei Lai was unable to go to the cafeteria for lunch; instead, Guo Fan stopped him.

On the playground, Guo Fan tried to dribble past his opponent a few times.

And every time he starts to dribble past someone, his head will turn towards the direction of the attack, as if to confirm something, before he lowers his head to start.

"Damn it! It's true!"

After confirming it several times, Guo Fan realized that he might actually have this problem.

"Get used to it! You're checking if there's anyone ahead. After all, you're very fast, and if the track isn't long enough, you can't pick up speed," Yuan Kai analyzed.

Hao Shuai: "But if we confirm the direction of the attack every time, and the opponent learns this habit, wouldn't it be a guaranteed win every time?"

Guo Fan opened his mouth slightly: "So, I'm finished?"

"It's not that bad," Wei Lai sighed. "Can't you change?"

"How do I fix it?" Guo Fan looked at Wei Lai, his face contorted with despair. "Brother, my mind is completely blank. I have absolutely no idea how to fix it!"

"Are you not going to watch anymore? I'll keep my head down the whole time? That makes me look like a lone wolf!"

Wei Lai sighed: "Give me the ball!"

Help someone to the very end, and see them through to the end!
"Watch the difference between my two moves! Hao Shuai, pass me the ball!"

boom!
Wei Lai made the first move.

boom!
Wei Lai made a second move.

"Do you see the difference? The first action is your current problem, and the second is the solution!"

When Wei Lai looked up, Guo Fan tilted his head, giving him a look that said, "What are you talking about?"

Is there any difference in these movements?

Wei Lai grinned; "I'll do it slowly, so you can watch carefully!"

boom!
Hao Shuai passes the ball.

Wei Lai began to take small, quick steps, his head constantly bobbing. At the moment of contact with the ball, he lowered his head and quickly made a dribbling motion to get past his opponent.

"I understand!"

Yuan Kai clapped his hands excitedly and said, "The timing for looking up, right?"

Wei Lai immediately gave a thumbs up.

"What do you mean?" Guo Fan was still puzzled.

Wei Lai could only elaborate further: "The key to the problem is not looking at the direction of the attack. Observation is essential, but the timing of the observation is crucial."

"You catch the ball, observe, and then break free. Even a fool knows what you're going to do!"

"But what if you observe before receiving the ball? You can even head the ball a few more times to confuse the opponent and increase the deception of your dribbling!"

"Or you can half-raise your head to make sure the other person can't see your eyes, as long as they can't confirm your direction of attack!"

The first method was the answer given by Old Man Chen, but Guo Fan has never been able to do it.

However, this guy figured out a method that suited him better on his own.

"Half-raised head!"

Sure enough, this guy started thinking in a more understandable direction.

"That's it, just keep practicing, and you'll eventually be able to correct it!"

Guo Fan nodded, then patted his chest and said, "Good brother, breakfast is on me!"

The cafeteria was lively and crowded.

Wei Lai and the other three found a corner spot, and Yuan Kai sat with Wei Lai.

You've changed so much!

Yuan Kai remarked with emotion.

He and Wei Lai both entered the Willys Football School at the age of 10 and were roommates for a year before Yuan Kai got the opportunity to be promoted.

Throughout the year, he had very few interactions with Wei Lai.

It wasn't that they isolated Wei Lai; it's just that Wei Lai used to be quite unsociable. Focusing on rigorous training was definitely the right thing to do!
However, there is always a lack of communication with the people around him.

Whether it's eating, training, or anything else, he does it all by himself.

Therefore, they won't shamelessly approach them.

"People change after all!"

Wei Lai smiled.

Yuan Kai nodded; "You're much more cheerful now, that's good."

"There should be an intra-team match this morning, right?" Guo Fan asked.

Yuan Kai nodded: "We definitely need to divide the players into starters and substitutes!"

The second-tier team has more than 20 players, and the starters and substitutes are not fixed.

The first day of training matches will determine the starting lineup for the domestic youth training cup competition.

As for substitutes, they can still make it into the starting lineup, as long as they perform well enough.

To put it bluntly, it's a competitive selection process!
Whether it's the promotion and relegation system or the competition between starters and substitutes.

This is all part of Willie Football School's goal to cultivate a competitive mindset in these young players from a young age.

On the field, they're teammates; off the field, they're opponents!

Formal training begins at 8 a.m.

At various training grounds, the lawns are already bustling with intense training sessions.

The training ground for the U15-second division team is located on the first field on the east side.

Logically, they shouldn't occupy the entire field; they should train in half-field units.

However, the other top-tier team has not yet returned, so they have full access to the field.

"A new training cycle has begun. This year's training will still focus on combining tactics and matches, supplemented by targeted training for each position!"

Zhao Xiaotang gave a brief opening speech, then called out, "Wei Lai, step forward!"

Wei Lai immediately walked out, turned to face the group, and said loudly:
"Hello everyone, I'm Wei Lai. Please take care of me in the future!"

As a newly promoted player, Wei Lai naturally needed to introduce himself to his teammates.

The players from these second-division teams also applauded.

In fact, they had accepted Wei's arrival.

After all, this is the tough guy who single-handedly defended against Guo Fan during the upgrade assessment.

"Mao Biao, lead the team in a light jog to warm up. After that, the team will split into two groups for the first training match of the new semester!"

As soon as Zhao Xiaotang finished speaking, Wei Lai sensed that the atmosphere had suddenly changed.

The atmosphere, which had been somewhat relaxed just moments before, suddenly shifted into a more intense, somber, and confrontational one.

That's right!

This is the starter and substitute team test for the new semester!

If you become a starter, you can participate in the 'Future Stars Cup' in the second half of the year with the team. If you become a substitute, you will have to find an opportunity to challenge for the starting position.

Wei Lai also clenched his fist tightly.

Our goal should start with becoming a key player!
After warming up, the team split into two groups.

Forwards, midfielders, and defenders.

Wei naturally walked towards the defense, since his current position was full-back.

But as soon as he took a step, Zhao Xiaotang pointed to the midfield group and said to Wei Lai, "Go to the midfield group. From now on, you'll be playing defensive midfield in my team!"

Wei Lai blinked, somewhat surprised.

After all, he was supposed to play as a defensive midfielder, but that was after he had been playing for a while in the second division.

But he was still very happy!

After all, this is the position he is most familiar with.

In fact, Wei Lai's position is highly sought after.

The reason is simple: the second-division team has five technically gifted midfielders, but none of them are true defensive midfielders.

Therefore, the solution is either to have three midfielders share the defensive duties, or to move one player up from the back line to play as a defensive midfielder, but the results have not been very good.
