Chapter 178
"There's a kid at the base, his pass is flying in the sky!"
"What the hell, James!"
"I mean the new teammates, look!"
On January 2, the Manchester City players, who had just finished the New Year's Day holiday, returned to the training base to start daily training.
Although the Premier League has a winter window, it does not mean that the players will have a holiday, and because the FA Cup is about to start, the schedule will become more intensive.
On the green field.
Modric, who arrived at the base in advance with Su Fei, couldn't wait to start passing practice.
The scene of practicing the outside instep pass was also seen by the Manchester City players who came one after another.
I saw Modric standing in the left rib area.
He dribbled the ball for two steps.
He suddenly kicked, and the outside instep of his right foot hit the bottom of the football. The trajectory was curved, and it flew quickly and accurately to Su Fei who was practicing in the penalty area.
Su Fei volleyed in the penalty area.
Bang!
With the blessing of 80's foot power, there was a loud bang.
The ball went into the net!
After scoring the goal, Su Fei smiled and gave Modric a thumbs up, and Modric smiled shyly.
This scene stunned the Manchester City players who were watching.
"It's bad, Knight, your position as Manchester City's first midfielder is no longer secure!"
"Bullshit! I'll show this kid a shot in the training match later! It's just an outside-foot arc ball, who can't do it!"
Knight looked at the interaction between Su Fei and Modric with a little displeasure.
He is the man who is best at passing the ball to Su Fei in Manchester City!
How could this title be taken away by a... disheveled and effeminate kid.
......
Stuart appeared on the training ground on time.
After simply asking Modric and the players to introduce themselves to each other, the first project of daily training began.
10,000-meter run!
Originally, Stuart was a little worried that the new Modric would not be able to adapt to this training method.
Unexpectedly.
Modric was always able to stay at the front of the team, and he could even chat with Su Fei after running.
"Luka's endurance is excellent. Sir, your vision in selecting players is really unique."
"Yeah."
Assistant Oliver couldn't help but praise him, and patted Stuart's ass.
Stuart looked calm on the surface, but he was getting more and more satisfied with Modric in his heart.
After letting the players rest for half an hour, the training match started soon.
In order to test the chemistry between Modric and Su Fei, Stewart directly let Modric replace Musampa as the left midfielder of the main red team.
And Knight was still the right midfielder.
"Beep!"
With the whistle of assistant Oliver, the Manchester City team's internal training match officially began.
The players knew that this was a training match specially prepared for Modric, and they could see that Su Fei and Modric had a good relationship, so they all consciously passed the ball to Modric.
The red team attacked.
Modric, who received the pass from Mills on the left, had the ball at his feet, and completely lost the shy look when he introduced himself.
Instead, he was confident.
Facing the pressing of Croft, the right midfielder of the yellow team.
Modric changed direction in small steps and successfully shook Croft's center of gravity, and then suddenly accelerated with the ball on the left.
He wiped Croft clean with both the man and the ball!
"Beautiful!"
Oliver praised, and Stuart nodded frequently.
Then.
Froude, the midfielder of the yellow team, accelerated from the side and rear, chasing Modric relentlessly, and was about to get close.
Modric suddenly turned around, pulled the ball with his right foot and stopped, shook Froude away, and then poked the ball with his right foot!
The football was sent to Su Fei who was advancing in the middle.
Su Fei received the pass, controlled the ball with his back against the defender, turned around with his right foot, and shot with his left foot in front of the penalty area!
Bang!
The sudden kick was beyond the goalkeeper James's expectations!
Fortunately.
The arc of this ball was slightly higher, hitting the crossbar and bouncing out of the sideline.
Although the ball did not go in, Stuart was very satisfied with the Red Team's attack in this round.
Not only did Modric pass Croft and calmly turn the ball in the face of Froude's pursuit.
It also included Su Fei's left-footed powerful shot after turning around and getting rid of it!
Modric's dribbling and passing abilities were within Stuart's expectations. Before proposing the transfer deal, he had studied Modric's game videos all night.
But Su Fei!
It is rare to see him take the initiative to pass and shoot in front of the goal on the training ground!
And it was a left-footed shot!
Five-five kicks? !
Five-five feet refers to those who have balanced left and right foot abilities and can control the ball, pass, and shoot.to players of the same level.
Such ability can make players more flexible in the game, and can use the appropriate side of the foot to make corresponding operations faster according to the actual situation on the court.
In fact.
It was not only Stuart who was surprised. Su Fei on the court was also surprised by the power of his left-foot shot that had just flashed.
He was surprised to find.
When his shooting ability reached 70, the system automatically gave him the hidden feature of 55 feet.
No matter what action his left foot makes now, it can reach the same level as the right foot.
55 feet.
Maybe it is not a feature that instantly improves the performance on the court.
But it is definitely a feature that improves the player's upper limit!
"No way, Croft, you were actually passed by that kid."
"Why don't you try it yourself?"
"That kid's dribbling pace is very fast, and his whole body is full of fake moves. It's really hard to defend."
The old players of Manchester City whispered, and the game continued.
Soon.
Everyone realized Modric's extraordinary qualities, although he looked skinny and would fall down if hit.
He made good use of his more flexible characteristics.
As long as the ball was at his feet.
You couldn't touch the ball at all, and he passed the ball very quickly and at the right time.
When the ball was at his feet, he could often send some long passes that were beyond the defense's expectations.
The training match had just started for less than 10 minutes.
The main red team was completely suppressing the yellow team, although this was also the case in the previous training matches.
But the ball was often controlled on the right, at the feet of Knight and Sun Jihai.
Now.
With the addition of Modric on the left and Su Fei in the middle, the entire frontcourt was under the control of the main red team on the left, the middle and the right.
Su Fei made a quick diagonal long pass in the middle to Modric on the left.
Modric didn't stay too long after receiving the ball.
He kicked the ball with the outside of his right foot, and the ball spun in the air, drawing a beautiful arc and flying behind the yellow team's defense line!
He accurately found Knight who was advancing into the penalty area from the right.
This ball!
Even Knight didn't expect Modric to be able to kick it to his feet.
But driven by his body's instinct, he chose to kick the ball directly.
Bang!
The ball went into the left corner of the goal.
Stuart looked down at his watch, and the training match had just started in the 10th minute.
Red team 3:0 yellow team!
The red team players cheered to celebrate Knight's goal, and James, the goalkeeper of the yellow team, smiled and approached Knight.
"Knight, didn't you say that you would prove to this Croatian kid who is the first midfielder of Manchester City in the training match? Is this cake good?"
"Uh... Second, based on his pass, I give him the title of the second midfielder of Manchester City, okay?"
Knight's mouth softened a little.
As a midfielder, Knight must admit that this pass just now... maybe he can play it out in training, but it is difficult in actual combat, too difficult.
Seeing Modric and Su Fei celebrating with smiles, a sense of crisis rose from behind Knight.
If he doesn't work harder, he will really lose the position of the first midfielder of Manchester City!
