'Shut up! '

"Ritter!"

"Wow! You were so good today! You caught every ball this afternoon!"

"Steady, steady, we are safe for the next game!"

"Yes, right, Ritter is here. , We will definitely beat Birmingham City in the next game!"

After Ben Watt turned and left, his teammates who had been standing silently ran like a husky that had been let go of the rope and ran all the way to Zhou Liran.

"If the coach scolds us again after we win, I will go straight away..."

Zhou Liran was a little numb in the praises. After hearing Wood's words, he felt helpless and interrupted directly, "Aren't you hungry? "I'm going crazy with hunger."

At 19:34 in the afternoon on March 4, Zhou Liran refused Corker's request to carry him back to the locker room. He stood up, beat his legs, and turned to look at the two players on the court. He picked up the football and sighed hard before turning around and following his teammates out of the field.

While sighing, Zhou Liran's thought came to mind again: What is all this?

After changing their jerseys in the locker room, some players left the club directly, while others returned to their dormitories after having dinner in the cafeteria.

Because of family reasons, Zhou Liran started living in a dormitory when he was thirteen years old and had to deal with several roommates. Coker, who came to Chelsea U18 last year, was his third roommate.

Since Coker moved in, Zhou Liran has lived in the dormitory the rest of the time except for going home during holidays. If he hadn't known that Zhou Liran had been like this since he moved in, Coker would have suspected that Zhou Liran was a poor orphan.

But, "Are you going home today too?"

Zhou Liran nodded lightly.

"I went back yesterday and I will go back today," Coker touched his forehead, "Did you encounter something difficult to solve?"

"It's a bit troublesome," Zhou Liran said with a deep look, "Sorry, the recent period I'm afraid I won't be in the dormitory often, so I need you to help me take care of my belongings."

Saying goodbye to Coker, Zhou Liran took a taxi and left with yesterday to a nearby hotel, where he booked a room just like yesterday. But this time Zhou Liran rushed directly to the bathroom, washed himself from top to bottom, and then walked out of the bathroom while wiping his hair.

The system in his mind was not lying. He was hit so many times by the football but he only felt pain. There were no wounds on his face at all, let alone the redness and swelling caused by being hit. And his pain tolerance has always been relatively high, so it's not a big problem. He can use this love system to become a truly gifted person.

[Host...]

"Do you sell any painkillers without any side effects in your points mall? If not, just shut up."

To be honest, after saying these words, Zhou Liran was quite looking forward to the system speaking again, but... this guy pretended to be dead. .

So it's a pity that he still has to be "loved" by "coquettish" football.

After a dreamless night

, Zhou Liran came to the team to start training the next day, and discovered a chilling fact: the entire Chelsea team owned a lot of footballs, and the used footballs were sent to the logistics department for cleaning and maintenance every day. Because there are so many footballs, the task of cleaning the footballs is naturally not that the staff work overtime to clean them that night and directly use them for the team the next day, but to accumulate a certain number and then clean them collectively.

The footballs used by the team every day have to be cleaned two days ago at the earliest, and the cleaned footballs may not be sent to Chelsea U18 again, because no one will number the footballs, they are all washed. It is delivered directly on the cart, so the football may also be sent to the Chelsea home team... This means that Zhou Liran will have to bind a new love partner every day from now on, and there will be more than one love partner.

It is obviously not enough for the Cobham training base to be silent tonight. It will probably fall into silence every day and night after that.

.........

Due to his excellent performance in yesterday's competition and subsequent specialized training, coach Ben Wallen directly arranged for an assistant coach early in the morning to assist Zhou Liran in training on ground balls and ground balls.

During the initial training, Zhou Liran was allowed to half squat. The assistant coach stood in the penalty area and kicked the football towards Zhou Liran. Zhou Liran needed to determine the left and right direction of the football before it rushed into the goal and control his body to immediately pounce to the left or right. Football block.

This is a training that Zhou Liran often does, so he did not establish a romantic relationship with the new football in front of him. He relied solely on his personal ability to block all the footballs kicked by the assistant coach.

After warming up like this for about ten minutes, the assistant coach started to increase the intensity. Two footballs were placed. After kicking one goal, there was a ten-second interval between kicking the second ball.

Zhou Liran glanced at the head coach Ben Wallen who was standing aside with his arms folded, and silently shouted out that the system bound these two footballs: He could not stretch his hips, especially after taking the initiative to raise his expectations in the hearts of others. .

The assistant coach kicked a ball in the air for the first time, that is, a ball in the air above the knee and below the chest. The goalkeeper's fixed action when receiving such a ball is to put the palms of his hands upward, put the little fingers of the two hands together, and push the football directly Lock between the hands.

Of course, before locking the football, Zhou Liran must first determine the flight path of the football and determine whether to move to the left or right - everyone can catch the ball, but whether he can catch the football through the movement is the judge of the person. Is he an excellent goalkeeper?

The first ball does not need to use the "throwing a hug" buff. If Zhou Liran can't even stop such a ball, then he won't even be the fourth substitute goalkeeper in the team.

The second ball is the key point. After Zhou Liran catches the first ball, he lets go and then goes to catch the second ball. Only when he catches the football or dives for the football is he successful.

The success rate of this catching training for Chelsea U18 goalkeepers is between 60% and 75%. The highest success rate of 75% was created by Wood. Zhou Liran's previous success rate was 65%.

Since Zhou Liran's performance in the competition and specialized training yesterday was like enlightenment, Ben Wallen arranged a separate training for Zhou Liran today. He wanted to know how long Zhou Liran could maintain the state he was in yesterday, and Ben Wallen's psychology The expectation is an 80% success rate.

When Zhou Liran first caught the ball, his movements were very neat and simple. The two balls flew towards Zhou Li one after another and were hugged by the latter. But after six successful attempts, Ben Wallen held his breath. Waiting for next time.

The first ball was still caught steadily. When catching the second ball, you can see that Zhou Liran's movements were obviously much slower, but he jumped out and held the football under him.

It was a bit embarrassing, but Zhou Liran did stop the football.

Next is the eighth time. If successful, it will prove that Zhou Liran has really exceeded his limit.

First ball, caught. Second ball!

After the high-frequency continuous movement, Zhou Liran's movements were already a little slow. When he caught the second ball, he only touched the football with his hand. In the next second, the football changed its direction and rushed straight towards Zhou Liran's chin.

The pain made Zhou Liran's somewhat confused mind instantly clear, and his hands gained strength, and he grabbed the football with all his strength.

Caught it! !

Ben Watt's eyes widened. He never expected that Zhou Liran exceeded his expectations. The next two catching training sessions were successful!

Zhou Liran grabbed the football tightly with his hands, so hard that he seemed to want to crush the football under his hand.

"Ritter! That's great! You caught every ball!"

Zhou Liran turned to the head coach and showed a pale smile: Yes, he didn't expect that he could completely succeed today. He succeeded seven times. , the remaining three times the football was supposed to pop out after hitting his chin, but he didn't know where the strength and energy came from to allow him to hold the football firmly in his hand.

What is this called? Does pain make you grow?

【Ding ding ding! ]
