Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 210 The first national team training
The next day, Yan Feng participated in the morning training of the national team.

Due to the closed management of the national team, there is no one else in the empty stadium except for the national team.

It was the first time to participate in the training of the national team, and Yan Feng was very excited at first.Unlike other players, many of them have entered the National Junior, National Youth, National Olympic and other national titles since they were young.Yan Feng is full of curiosity about the training of the national team.

However, when the training really started, Yan Feng felt that it was nothing more than that.Except for a few links, there is no difference from Yan Feng's training in the club.

In fact, it was Yan Feng's first time in the national team, so he thought that the national team would be better than the club.You know, the training of the national team is also arranged by the head coach.The method of training mainly depends on the personal style of the head coach.

Of course, the training equipment of the national team is much better than that of many clubs.Like the Shenzhen Red Diamond team where Yan Feng stayed last year, the training conditions are not as good as the national team.And the more professional teams like Evergrande and R&F are not much different from the national team.

After putting away his curiosity, Yan Feng and other national team players started warm-up activities with assistant coach Fu Bo first.After a warm-up and physical activity, the monkey walking game started again.

Monkey Walking is a game that all teams play regularly in practice.It can not only exercise the passing awareness of the players, but also cultivate the tacit understanding among the players.

Players are divided into groups to play the game.From the perspective of the grouping situation, Yan Feng also found that the main force and potential supplement of the national team have basically been determined.

Players who often start national team games like Wu Lei, Huang Bowen, and Gao Lin are grouped together.And Cai Huikang, Zhang Xiaobin, Zhang Chengdong and others were divided into a group.Anyone with a discerning eye can tell who the main force and potential support of the national team are.

What disappointed Yan Feng was that he was in the group with Cai Huikang.It seems that I still have a long way to go in the country.I still have to work hard to play in the national team.

At the beginning, only one person grabbed the ball, and the others made a pass.From here, Yan Feng can be considered to have a preliminary understanding of the physical abilities of this group of people.

Zhang Xiaobin, who is nimble and fast, runs very lightly, and he turns and changes direction very well.

And Cai Huikang is a bit miserable.He is a big guy with a relatively slow speed. Although he has a good ability to intercept frontally, he is really not flexible enough to turn around.It is more uncomfortable in such a monkey walking game.

"Everyone, pay attention and pass on more."

When Yan Feng was in the middle to grab the ball, many players in the circle glanced at each other and smiled.Especially Cai Huikang, the smile he showed was even a bit cruel.

"Finally it's your turn, I'll walk you to death now. Hehe." Cai Huikang first remembered that he had just been walked as a dog, and it was very bad.After that, thinking that Yan Feng would be even worse this time, he felt that he was much better.

"Get ready for a good show." Even the baby-faced Zhang Xiaobin smiled and whispered.

Yan Feng, who was about to start, didn't pay much attention to the expressions of other people, even if he noticed, he didn't think too much.He has played this kind of game many times in the club.And every time he plays it is one of the easier ones.

Soon the game will begin.At the very beginning, Yan Feng rushed over when he saw the direction of the pass.Because of his speed and reflexes, the man who received the ball was taken aback.Although he quickly took the first step to kick the ball, but the strength was a little too strong, and the strength was a little off.

Before Yan Feng ran to the front, he saw the direction of the opponent's foot.From the surprised expression of the opponent, Yan Feng had a premonition that the opponent might not pass the ball well.

Therefore, Yan Feng did not try to intercept the ball, but turned quickly, and then ran in the direction of the ball.

This time the direction of the ball happened to be kicked towards Cai Huikang.And Yan Feng's speed was really too fast, the ball was just in front of Cai Huikang, and Yan Feng followed behind.Now, Cai Huikang was a little depressed.

In desperation, Cai Huikang had no choice but to put away his playful mentality, and thought of passing the ball as soon as possible with a stern look on his face.In order to prevent Yan Feng from intercepting the ball, Cai Huikang used too much strength.

"Bang." The ball was quickly pushed out by Cai Huikang, but Yan Feng couldn't touch the ball.Cai Huikang just showed a comfortable smile, but then another muffled sound made his smile freeze.

Yan Feng looked back and saw Zhang Chengdong squatting down covering his face.And the ball just bounced back, Yan Feng stopped subconsciously.The ball was successfully grabbed.

"Good luck. I snatched it just after passing two kicks. It seems that Zhang Chengdong is not so lucky." Yan Feng thought to himself.Although he really wanted to laugh happily, but seeing Zhang Chengdong's appearance, he felt that he didn't want it anymore.

"Haha, Chengdong, you are too unlucky." The others laughed without Yan Feng's scruples.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Chengdong. I kicked a flaw." Cai Huikang said apologetically.

"Well, who am I provoking?" Zhang Chengdong walked out with a depressed face.Not only did he get a kick from the ball, but he also had to come out and be walked by a monkey.I feel depressed just thinking about it.In fact, this ball did not hurt him, but he felt that his heart was hurt.

Everyone else lamented Yan Feng's good luck in their hearts.Everyone wanted to show him off, but he easily grabbed the ball.

But when it was Yan Feng's turn to grab the ball again later, they didn't think so.Because Yan Feng's reaction and speed are too fast.Although some of them wanted to take Yan Feng for a walk, they were snatched by him after five or six passes.By this time, everyone in this group had truly realized Yan Feng's physical fitness.

"It's so fast!"

And the two people in the back grabbed the ball together, which made those who partnered with Yan Feng even more emotional. "Today's monkey walk is really easy!"

Of course, this day's training is not just a game of walking monkeys.There were also other games that Gao Hongbo often asked to play, and everyone had a good time playing them.

Yan Feng is very satisfied with his performance in these games.He thought he was doing pretty well.However, what he didn't know was that the other old players of the national team secretly looked behind and felt very depressed.Many people wanted to take the opportunity to punish him, but in the end they made a lot of fools themselves.Of course, Yan Feng didn't mean to make others make a fool of himself, but others underestimated his physical fitness.Every time, his unexpectedly outstanding performance made others have to deal with it in a panic.

After a morning of training and playing games, everyone in the national team began to realize Yan Feng's physical strength.Some people feel happy to have such good teammates.For example, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Yuning and others who basically determined the main force.

There are also some people who feel a great crisis.Such as Cai Huikang, Zhang Xiaobin, Zhang Chengdong and others.Even the perennial main force of the national team like Huang Bowen feels the pressure.And most of these are in competition with Yan Feng for position.Some are also fringe players who want to stay in the national team and fight for opportunities to play.

And for Yan Feng's first time participating in the national team training, he can show such a state.Head coach Gao Hongbo was very happy.

"The physical condition of the player Yan Feng showed today is better than what we saw in the game video." Gao Hongbo said to his assistants after the morning training.

"Yeah. Yan Feng's physical condition is really strong. Zhang Linpeng and Zhang Chengdong in our group of national teams can compare with them." Fu Bo said with a smile.

"I don't think so. I think Yan Feng's body should be the best among this group of people. I feel that if Zhang Linpeng fights against him alone, he will definitely suffer." Ou Chuliang seems to have more confidence in Yan Feng .

"If that's the case, Director Gao, I have to congratulate you. You have gained another great general." Fu Bo said with a big laugh.

"Hehe. Yan Feng's league data is still very beautiful. Our national team can produce data to compare with him, but there are not many. However, his specific performance in the national team still depends on the next training It's gone." Gao Hongbo had a bright smile on his face.After he noticed Yan Feng so much, he admired Yan Feng.I have always wanted to recruit him to my subordinates.Now that someone has finally been recruited, he has also shown his ability to think and see.It made him feel very happy.

Recently, many things have been developing in the direction he hoped.He suddenly felt that his next journey to the national team was getting smoother and smoother.

"In the afternoon training, there will be more cooperative training. Let's see how well he can cooperate with other players. If we can cooperate, maybe we can consider letting him go up to experience the game against Syria." Fu Bo Said easily.From his words, it can be seen that he is more confident in winning the Syrian game.

"Let's talk about the next training." Gao Hongbo said hesitantly.

In the afternoon, the national team conducted another training session.

In the beginning, it was some ball training and tactical coordination.But in these trainings that required the cooperation of several people, Yan Feng's performance was not so brilliant.After all, he was born as an amateur, and he has only been in professional football for two years, and he has already caught up with other professional players in his ability to pass and receive the ball and has improved rapidly.

And Yan Feng's relatively average performance in these pass coordination also made many people in the national team have different ideas from those in the morning training.

"Oh. His foot skills are not very good!"

"It seems that his physical condition is relatively outstanding, and other aspects are average."

"From this point of view, his level is just like this." Many players began to feel the pressure.Some people still find it funny that they felt pressured by Yan Feng's arrival.

"Ha, it seems that I thought too much. His skills are not my opponent." Zhang Xiaobin thought easily.I began to feel that my technical ability was stronger than that of Yan Feng.

"In terms of passing, I will not lose to you. In this way, you will not be able to threaten me." Cai Huikang also felt that his previous worries and sense of crisis were unnecessary.

"Huh, it's okay. No one made a fool of himself." Yan Feng thought with a sigh of relief in his heart.In fact, he still doesn't have enough confidence in his current ability.This is especially true when facing teammates from the national team.In his opinion, these people in the national team are the top players in China.As the big bosses of their respective clubs, their strength, especially in terms of passing and controlling the ball, must be a few blocks away from their own.

"Well, the skills at his feet are quite satisfactory. In this respect, he is not outstanding." Fu Bo commented to Gao Hongbo on the sidelines.

"It seems that he is indeed a defensive midfielder. If he has such a physical condition and excellent feet ability, he will be a superstar player. I dare not expect that." Gao Hongbo said with a smile.He can also see that Yan Feng is not better than other national team players in terms of footwork skills, and even belongs to the bottom of this group of people.

Of course, Gao Hongbo also hopes that he has a player with strong physical fitness, strong running ability, who can defend and attack.However, such players are generally not found in the current Chinese football world.And even in Europe and America, who can meet such conditions, which one is not a top midfielder?

"It seems that I think too much." Fu Bo said with a smile.However, he went on to say: "However, if he is just like this. Then his role with Cai Huikang will overlap."

"We have to look again. How can a player be good or not after one or two training sessions?" Gao Hongbo said.

"Yes." Fu Bo nodded.

After that, the national team arranged another training match.

Without exception, Yan Feng was placed on the side of the team.Instead, Cai Huikang was put in the main team because of the same style and position as Yan Feng.

"Hey, the game is coming. I have to perform well. I must not lose to others. Try to play in the game against Syria." Yan Feng said to himself confidently.He is determined to perform well in scrims.

Yan Feng is very confident and eager to perform.But after the training match started, he became depressed.Because he can't even touch the ball.

It's not that he's not active enough, but those teammates are unwilling to pass the ball to him.His teammates seem to be ignoring him intentionally or unintentionally, basically passing the ball to other familiar people.

Now Yan Feng was a little anxious, he could only stare blankly on the field.In the backcourt, teammates either pass to the front with a big foot, or distribute to players on the wing.After attacking, Yan Feng's back was inserted but no one gave him the ball.Therefore, Yan Feng could only run back and forth on the field for nothing.

After playing for more than ten minutes, Yan Feng didn't even touch the ball.Even if he manages to get the ball from the main player's feet, once the pass is passed, he won't be able to return to his feet.Even if he obviously ran out of position.

This situation made Yan Feng feel very uncomfortable.Later, he also got hairy, and he started to defend desperately.After defending, if he can get the ball, he will never pass it to others immediately.Try to organize an attack forward.But soon he found that there was no one to meet him.In the end, either he had no choice but to pass the ball back or was robbed by the main players.

After this training match, Yan Feng was completely depressed.He wanted to be active, but he didn't have many opportunities to show.He felt alone, as if he was the only one on the field and a team.

"It seems that his tacit understanding with other people is still not enough." Fu Bo commented after the training.

"Well. It seems that he needs to work hard to integrate into the team." Gao Hongbo said thoughtfully.In fact, what the situation is, he, who came from a player, knows very well.But he couldn't say anything, because this is a problem that every player must face.This is something he can't change even as the head coach of the team.

The depressed first national team training is finally over.
