There is a dream called football

Chapter 106 Free Kick Special Training

Li Qiao remembered that in his previous life, Porto had very good luck in 2004. Except for the strong Manchester United in the quarter-finals, the opponents behind were actually not bad, but this time... history seems to have changed.

Because Porto's opponent in the quarter-finals is AC Milan.

This can be said to be the worst signing, because the Milan Dynasty is too strong at this time, they were the European champions last season.

Maldini, Gattuso, Rui Costa, Nesta, Pirlo, Shevchenko, Inzaghi, each famous name will scare many people, this is AC Milan at this time.

When he got the result of the lottery, Mourinho also slammed the table hard, "Damn it, there are 7 opponents who can be drawn, why did they draw the defending champion?"

For Li Qiao, he was a little at a loss, as if at some point, history would be distorted.

For example, one-eighth of the opponents are Manchester United, but the score is completely different, this is the difference.

In today's training, Mourinho obviously strengthened the tough confrontation, and Maniche specially marked Li Qiao otherwise.

"what."

With a scream, Li Qiao fell to the ground, and Maniche hurried forward to pat him, "Are you all right?"

"How could it be all right?"

During the training, everyone will not use some dangerous moves - such as stomping, or kicking, but it is inevitable to be kicked. Just now, Maniche kicked Li Qiao's calf firmly.

"Riccardo, you are simply a butcher."

Maniche is a nickname, and his full name is Nuno Ricardo de Oliveira Ribeiro. It's so long, you can call it whatever you want.

"Haha, Li Qiao, you really should strengthen your hardness, otherwise you will suffer a lot if you meet someone like Jemba again."

sweat.

Thinking of the dark and tough Cameroonians, Li Qiao is also sweaty, and now his biggest shortcoming is confrontation.

But think about it, if you can achieve a strong confrontation in Europe, then returning to Asia in the future will be like cutting melons and vegetables.

"What are you two doing? Are you in a relationship?" Mourinho roared.

"Ha ha."

Li Qiao and Maniche joined the training army.

During the training interval, Mourinho approached Li Qiao, "I think you should improve."

Li Qiao nodded.

"I know, I'm going to the gym more."

Mourinho shook his head, "No, I mean footwork."

"Footwork?"

To be honest, footwork is a part of Li Qiao's confidence. Could it be that he still can't see it in Mourinho's eyes?

"Head, I don't understand."

"Hehe, I mean you should learn free kicks."

"Free kick?"

Li Qiao actually wanted to practice for a long time, but there are too many big men in the team, it seems that in actual combat, it is not his turn to kick free kicks.

"The only reliable free-kicker in the team is Deco, which is far from enough. I need one more."

In the Portuguese Super League, Porto is the king, but in the Champions League, Porto is a disadvantaged group. The most important magic weapon for a weak team to beat a strong team is a free kick, so if Deco is injured, then Porto will not only lose a passing point, but also lose a free kick master.

Mourinho patted Li Qiao, "You will understand, go to Anderson (Deco) and learn his skills. He is a good man."

"Ha ha."

*****
After the tactical training, it was time for the athletes to practice alone. Li Qiao followed Deco to another field. This is the field for set-piece training, with various human walls and blocking facilities.

The height of the human wall can be adjusted. Deco adjusted it, and it reached a height of 1 meters. Of course, this is a relatively low-difficulty training. Under normal circumstances in Europe, the average height of the human wall must be higher than 75 meters.

"Is it too short?"

"Short?" Deco chuckled, "Then give it a try."

"it is good."

Li Qiao put a ball on the ground, took a few steps back, and assumed a very strange pose.

Of course, it is strange at this moment, and in 10 years, this posture will be normal.

"You... this posture is so strange."

Li Qiao looked down and saw that his legs were spread apart, looking like a compass, yes!Unconsciously, I started to learn from Ronaldo.

After realizing that something was wrong with him, Li Qiao put his legs together and started to run.

One kick to the ball.

The ball is like sitting on an elevator, going straight up, but... this "elevator" seems to only go up, not down.

Li Qiao scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"Hehe." Deco placed another ball on the ground, "It's normal. When people see obstacles, they first want to avoid them."

It's as if a defensive player has to make a tackle when he knows it's impossible to tackle the ball.

The purpose is to affect the opponent's mind, which is also very important. Deco shot with one foot and hung the ball into the goal.

"Is this speed too slow?"

Li Qiao is very polite, this ball is not slow, but slow, even if his mother is standing there, he should be able to save it.

"Hehe, this is to find the feeling. I practiced free kicks at the beginning."

"try it yourself."

Li Qiao hung up his kick and let the ball draw a parabola. Although it is very simple, but at least one or two out of 10 times will fail, and the ball will miss the target.

"You have to be 100% on target."

Li Qiao nodded. This is inevitable. If such a shot can't be 100% hit, then what kind of free kick is it?

It was quite simple, and soon Li Qiao hit the target 100%.

Deco put his hands on his hips, "Yes, it's better than I imagined, come here."

Deco stuck a pole in the middle of the goal, "Now make it harder, you're going to kick the ball into the left half."

Li Qiao scratched his head, which doubled the difficulty. He set up the ball and shot the goal, but the ball missed a lot.

"No way, the difficulty has doubled."

Deco said with a smile: "It's not double, but a lot."

"why?"

Deco shrugged. "It's not math, but I can feel it."

In fact, these pressures are all added on the psychological level. Li Qiao tried again, but missed 10 times out of 4.

"Just draw a line in the middle, the difference is so big?"

"Lee, free kicks are not as easy as you think."

"really."

Deco patted Li Qiao, "Practice this to [-]%, and we will continue with the next practice."

This time it took Li Qiao an hour to finish, Deke packed up his things, "Li, I changed to go home, we will practice tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll practice for a while."

"Ah."

After Deco left, Li Qiao started to try a complete free kick shot, which should be like this in the imagination, the ball drew a beautiful arc and entered the net.

But in reality...it's different.
