There is a dream called football

Chapter 34 Cage Challenge
"He really turned down the Real Madrid B team?" Gomez wondered.

"Hehe, when I was young, I rejected the first team of Real Madrid, believe it or not?"

"Ha ha."

Valle called out to begin.

With a bang, something hit Li Qiao's back. This was so sudden that Li Qiao was caught off guard.

I saw that the blue frame lit up at 9 o'clock turned red.

"fail."

An electronic sound is a bit harsh.

"So that's how it was played?"

This is the first time for Li Qiao to train in a cage, and it feels very strange. I remember that I used to practice shooting accuracy, but that was the most primitive method, using a ball to kick a red fire hydrant in the community.

In essence, there is no difference between cage training and kicking a fire hydrant. They both test shooting accuracy, but it is much more difficult.

"Come on, Chinese boy." Gomez said to himself.

Valle smiled slightly, "You are such a good old man, you will never be the head coach like this, because the head coach needs to be cruel sometimes."

Gomez smiled, "Then I'll be an assistant coach."

In fact, the head coach and the assistant coach are often a bad face and a bad face. For example, when Ferguson and Keane fell out, it was Ferguson's assistant Queiroz who came out to make peace.

The first ball was an accident.

Soon the second ball pops out from the 7 o'clock direction.

Li Qiao turned around to catch the ball, made some adjustments, looked up, and saw that the blue frame was at 12 o'clock.

A shot hit the frame, but it still failed.

"You're timed out."

Li Qiao looked at the camera, and it turned out that the camera also has a conversation function.

At this time, the ball rolled from the direction of 15 o'clock. Li Qiao stepped on the ball and turned his head to look.

"Depend on."

It turned out that the "cage" played a trick this time. The ball came from the direction of 15 o'clock, and the area lit up by the blue frame was also here.

Li Qiao wasted two seconds by turning his head, and hit the goal again, but it was timed out again.

The first 3 opportunities all failed.

Li Qiao's heart began to tense, this...

Could it be that I have nothing to do with this famous black shop in Porto?

The 4th ball becomes particularly critical.

The ball was shot from the direction of 10 o'clock. After Li Qiao stopped the ball, he aimed at the direction of 17 o'clock with a blue light from the corner of his eye.

"We must increase the strength of the shot and speed up the ball, otherwise even if we hit the target, it will be timed out."

But increasing the intensity also means that the control over the football is reduced. Generally, burst shots are easy to fly.

But Li Qiao couldn't control that much anymore, he exerted strength on his calf and shot with a burst of kick.

Ding dong.

The blue frame turns green.

"success."

"It turns out that success is like this! Cool!"

Valle and Gomez looked at each other with a smile on their faces. The players Sosa recruited this time are at least somewhat reliable, not rookies, but there is still a gap from the Portuguese Super League giants like Porto.

"Not bad, but not good enough." Valle laughed.

The first challenge was successful, Li Qiao felt relieved, and soon the fifth ball rolled from the direction of 5 o'clock.

Li Qiao chose to shoot again, but this time he didn't suppress it, and the ball flew away.

In the first 5 opportunities, Li Qiao scored one, which means that if he wants to fulfill Valle's request, unless all the next 5 goals are successful.

This seemed like an impossible challenge.

"Chinese boy, give up?"

……

"No." Li Qiao replied firmly.

"Interesting." Valle thought.

"Take a one-minute break. Football has an intermission. This tradition cannot be lost."

This 1 minute is too precious for Li Qiao. He thinks of Haji and his life in the training camp.

"If Haji was here, what would he do?"

"How can I play the ball quickly and accurately in the shortest possible time?"

One minute passed quickly, and Valle reminded: "Fail once more, and the challenge is over."

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Coach."

As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the practice is up to the individual.

European youth training is very strong, but why are the people taught are still very different?It is very important that good players are lifelong learners and are constantly improving.

Li Qiao thought, "Since you can't achieve such a fast speed with your eyes alone, you should use your whole body's senses."

Hearing, smell, and even the sixth sense, anyway, use all that can be used, and if you fail, it will be a big deal to change to another club for trial training.

Li Qiao found that the inside of the cage was very quiet, but the moment the ball machine made a harsh noise, he closed his eyes.

"What is this kid doing?" Gomez wondered.

Valai saw the clue and said with a smile: "He can use his brain."

bang.

The ball machine shot the ball from behind, Li Qiao didn't turn around, and stepped on the ball with his leg, the blue frame in front of him lit up.

Li Qiao hit the ball into the frame.

"success."

It's the second ball!

There are still four balls left, and there is no chance for him to make a mistake. The ball came again. This time, Li Qiao still used his "ears" to catch the ball, and then used his eyes to find the "goal", which is the blue frame.

Enter!
Third ball.

Gomez showed an incredible expression, "Why did he suddenly become enlightened?"

Valle said with a smile: "I said, this kid can play football with his brain."

fourth!

Fifth ball!
Very hanging.

Gomez was completely attracted by what happened in the cage, his heartbeat followed Li Qiao's, as if he was the one taking part in the test.

"You seem to be more nervous than him." Valle chuckled.

"He has exceeded my expectations, Elidio, and I think we should keep him."

Valle shook his finger, "The rules are the rules, it just depends on how the last ball goes?"

High concentration can easily tire a person, and when it came to the last ball, Li Qiao was out of breath.

"The last goal, as long as I complete the challenge, I can start my football career in Porto."

Under the heavy pressure, Li Qiao couldn't help but tremble all over.

The ball rolled from the direction of 9 o'clock, and Li Qiao stretched out his left foot to stop the ball, but this time he touched the ball a little bit off.

"Damn."

It took a little time to adjust, when Li Qiao sent the ball into the blue frame...

The red light is on!

"fail."

Li Qiao's whole body was like five thunderbolts, immediately petrified.

Gomez beat his chest with his hands. "I hate this cage. I hate you."

Valle smiled faintly. Of course he saw everything just now. Except for the first 10 balls because he was not familiar with the rules and did not make any moves, the other 9 balls were all hit, but some of them were timed out.

"Sousa really surprised me this time. Where did he find this kid?"

At this time, Valle remembered what Li Qiao said, he rejected the Real Madrid B team.

"Could it be true?"

Valle had already made up his mind to keep Li Qiao, but he didn't complete the challenge, so he had to find a way for himself.
