Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 8 Troubles of Cooperating with Teammates
From this afternoon, Wang Li trained with the Wolverhampton youth team.

In the youth team, the players are generally under 20 years old, and the collective training focus of young people in this age group is still on physical strength and endurance.

Due to the different positions, the technique can only be improved by the guidance of a special coach or by practicing alone.

In terms of cooperation, the youth team does not have high requirements for this. The English Youth League and the FA Youth Cup are not professional football leagues after all, and the outcome is irrelevant to ordinary clubs. It is just a platform for young people to improve their experience and skills.

The youth team is the supply station that sends blood to the first team. As long as it can cultivate capable professional players, it will be a success.

However, Wang Li was a special case. His ability to cooperate, especially his consciousness, was extremely poor. This made Old Wood feel a little headache.

On the court, Wang Li dashed past three defenders in a row in a dashing figure. His movements were indeed beautiful, just like dancing.

In Thomas's words, "Alan's posture of playing football is like a blonde beauty taking off her clothes, which is so attractive", although Wang Li is very annoyed by his point of view.

However, after he passed the man, he passed the football straight to George Welling next to him. For George, the pass was too sudden. He didn't react, and the ball hit his leg , the sideline pops up.

"Oh, my God, Allen, you should have passed the ball to me just now. You have to know that if I go forward a little bit, I can successfully counter-offside, forming a single-handed fight." Forward Pete Cass ran over quickly and confronted him. Wang Li complained.

Although Pete also admitted that the dribbling level of this newly joined black-haired kid is indeed much better than his own, but his "passing kick" is really not very good. It's not like his teammates who are a little farther away from him.

In this regard, Wang Li spread his hands to him and expressed his apology. He could only accurately grasp the form near him, but he couldn't care about the activities farther away, and he didn't know who to pass it on to. That's good.

For some short passes in a small area, he felt that it would be better for him to pass the pass to his teammates, because short passes are easy to make mistakes, and he is not proficient in running positions. After the ball is passed, he is a little at a loss. I don't know what to do.

This is the problem that newcomers who have not undergone systematic football training must face. Issues such as the overall situation, running positions, etc. must study hard and adapt.

It can be said that in terms of cooperation, Wang Li showed the level of a rookie who has just started playing football.

Football is an eleven-man sport, without cooperation, there is no victory. In this regard, Wang Li will start from scratch.

"Alan, I think you should ask Coach Stephen to give you some special tactical guidance every day. Your consciousness is really poor. I really don't know how you graduated from the Arsenal Football School. Do you often play truant? …” suggested defender Tim Silko.

Stephen Cooper is the tactical guidance coach of the team. He is a top student at the London University of Sport. He is very proficient in football tactics and strategic theories. Even the head coach of the Wolves, Dave Jones, often asks him about these things. aspects of the problem.

Wang Li nodded, and replied gratefully: "Oh, thank you, I will go to him after today's training, but I don't know if Mr. Stephen will be busy."

"Beep..." Old Wood blew the assembly whistle.

After seeing the players walking over slowly, he ordered: "Next is the passing practice, in pairs, Alan, come with me."

Wang Li looked around and made sure that Old Wood was calling him, so he stood up and followed him to the office.

"Alan is definitely going to be trained. It seems that he is going to be taught by Coach Wood. Please pray for him, amen..." Thomas said gloatingly, and made a cross gesture with his left hand.

Afterwards, the voices of everyone discussing with each other came from the court. They had all been attacked by Old Wood's saliva.

Wang Li followed Old Wood to his office, but unexpectedly, there were already two people in the office.Seeing Old Wood coming in, the two greeted him respectively, and looked at Wang Li who was following behind.

"Alan, these two are the coaches I specially invited for you. From now on, you will receive their individual guidance every week."

"This is Stephen Cooper, he is Wolverhampton's professional tactical coach and will be your tactical teacher in the future. This is Jason Barber. He is the physical coach of the first team. He will also be your future tactical teacher. Responsible for directing your physical training."

Old Wood introduced to Wang Li respectively that after more than a day of training, he also discovered the shortcomings of Alan, an oriental boy, so he specially invited Stephen and Jason to give him special guidance. Wang Li gave him great hope.

Originally, Wang Li wanted to find Stephen by himself, but Old Wood had already arranged everything for him.He is very grateful to Old Wood. For him, this old coach actually invited these big figures to give him individual guidance. This alone is something he can't afford.

"I'm Alan Wang. I'm really glad to have the individual guidance of the two coaches. I will work hard in the future. Thank you." Wang Li said politely.

"You're welcome, Old Wood has great hopes for you. You can grow up as soon as possible and enter the first team to play for Wolverhampton in the Premier League. This is the best reward for us. Come on, boy! "

"Well, I will work hard, and I will be in trouble in the future!"

From this day on, in addition to normal training, Wang Li has to take Stephen's tactics class once a week, and he also needs to train his physical fitness under Jason's guidance.

Although this kind of life is really tiring and irritating, Wang Li feels very fulfilled. His skills are constantly improving day by day, which makes him closer and closer to becoming a professional player.

It is impossible for a person to reach the sky in one step. If you want to become a hot star, you must start step by step. Don't be too ambitious, and don't underestimate yourself.

Wang Li knows his own strength very well. Right now, what he is best at is dribbling, dribbling, and shooting. However, coordination, overall situation, and physical fitness are his weaknesses. In terms of overall strength, his current The level is only just on par with an ordinary Premier League professional player. To become a powerful star, he still needs more study and hard work.
