Volume 1 Chapter 7: Potential of a Midfield Core

After training, Arsenal needs to prepare for the warm-up match.

Most of the players have already started to travel with the team, but only Lucky and Chamberlain stayed behind.

Wenger led the first team to a pre-season warm-up match, and only Lucky and Patris were left in the empty base, no, there was also Chamberlain.

"Why not take us with you?" Chamberlain shouted in dissatisfaction: "It's just a warm-up match. There will always be a chance for us to play."

To this, Patles only said: "You are still far from it!"

After saying that, he pointed in the direction of Lucky and said, "Learn from them!"

Chamberlain then noticed that Lucky had already started jogging around the court to warm up, as if he didn't care about the warm-up game at all.

Under Patrese's gaze, Chamberlain muttered something and followed Lucky's pace.

As the two jogged to warm up, Chamberlain couldn't help but ask, "Don't you want to play a warm-up match?"

"think!"

Lucky said without hesitation.

Chamberlain said: "Then why don't you protest with me!"

"It's useless!" Lucky said concisely.

"Let's try our best. If the assistant coach softens his heart, he might be able to go."

In response, Lucky smiled and said, "Just train, don't think about these things, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Seeing that Lucky was not in a hurry, Chamberlain opened his mouth, but finally said no more.

In fact, Lekai knew it very well.

There was no use in him getting anxious.

So what if we participated in the warm-up match?

In his case, he cannot participate in the competition if he does not get a work permit.

Patras said it would take a season, so Lucky waited silently for a season.

He is only 17 years old and still has a lot of opportunities.

Moreover, he has confidence in himself.

After the warm-up, the two entered a new training session.

Footwork technique!

As the midfielder is the position that touches the ball the most in a game, the skills of the players must be strong enough.

There is no need to say anything about Chamberlain. This guy has a good foundation and is proficient in dribbling and breaking through.

But Lucky is a little bit worse in this regard.

But Lekai's advantages are also obvious, in passing and stealing.

Lekai's ability to steal the ball really shocked Patres.

This is almost unreasonable continuous blocking and very decisive tackles.

In every close combat, Lucky is almost in a crushing position.

The most outrageous continuous blocking.

At Patrese's request, Chamberlain made continuous changes of direction.

There should be a mixture of true and false in the change of direction, while Lucky needs to block.

The end result was that Chamberlain, in his eagerness to succeed, tripped over himself.

Falling to the ground, Chamberlain shouted to Patles: "Assistant coach, I told you, this guy knows where I'm going to break through!"

Patles was also confused at this time.

He had never seen this kind of defense.

With his thoughts a little confused, he leaned over, grabbed Lekai's arm, and asked tightly, "How do you judge where he is going to break through?"

Of course, Lucky cannot answer this question with a secret.

So he said, "Intuition!"

intuition?

Patrese was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it all based on intuition?"

Lucky made up a story; "There are some more details."

call!

Patras breathed a sigh of relief, that was right.

Some players are like that, they get some information from the details and defend.

They couldn't tell the specific details, but they just knew what to do.

Of course, they don’t rely on intuition every time, but they will only do this when the situation is particularly dangerous and they need to make an immediate choice.

And defensive players with this kind of talent are all world-class players.

Now that Lucky has shown this talent, Patrese is extremely excited.

In the future, Lucky will not be able to hold his own in the midfield, but he can still become a qualified defensive midfielder.

Not your average defensive midfielder.

But the kind of defensive gate!

Once the gate is closed, no one can get through!

Thinking of this, Patrese's eyes lit up when he looked at Lucky.

If he is trained well, this guy will become the backbone of Arsenal's defense.

But... damn Wenger, why did he let this guy transform into a midfielder.

If he is a defensive midfielder, this performance is enough to make him a combat-ready player.

Lucky looked at Patles's face, which turned red and blue, and had no idea what the other person was thinking.

After a while, Patras asked expectantly:

"Besides this, do you have any special talents?"

Lucky scratched his head and asked, "Does passing the ball count?"

"Pass the ball?" Patles became interested and asked, "How far can you go?"

Lucky smiled and said, “Have you seen the ad where Ronaldinho hit the goal frame?”

Upon hearing this, Patris and Chamberlain were stunned.

They both said in unison; "Can you do it?"

Lekai smiled and waded with the ball to a position about fifteen meters away from the goal.

The two of them followed.

"Can you do what Ronaldinho did?" Patrese asked.

Lucky shook his head and said, "I can't control the direction the ball bounces back, so I can only hit the club!"

Chamberlain asked, "How sure are you?"

Lucky smiled as he stepped on the ball, and said, "I've done a test before, a total of fifty kicks, the first ten kicks had the highest success rate, often hitting the target ten times, but the accuracy started to decline from the eleventh kick onwards."

Patles said, "It was affected by the decline in physical strength, but the first ten kicks all hit the target, which is already very good."

Lucky nodded and put the ball in place.

The whole person began to retreat.

After retreating about three meters, he started to run, then swung his right leg suddenly and kicked the ball.

The ball hit the goal post like a cannonball, hit the goal post with a ding, and bounced towards Lekai.

Lekai quickly took a step to the right and raised his right thigh slightly. At the moment when his thigh touched the ball, there was an obvious rise and fall, and the ball bounced just to the height of Lekai's chest.

Then, Lucky did not make any adjustments.

He turned sideways, swung his left foot and pulled it out again.

Ding!

This time, the ball hit the guardrail after brushing the goal post.

Lucky nodded in satisfaction, turned around and said, "That's it."

At this time, Patris and Chamberlain both opened their mouths slightly.

Chamberlain pointed at Lucky and said, "Is the probability of it rebounding back to you high?"

Lucky shook his head and said, "I haven't counted, but it's not a lot."

Chamberlain heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

On the other hand, Patras was staring at Lucky's feet.

He swore he saw it clearly.

Lekai hit the crossbar twice, using both feet respectively.

so……

This guy is a biped!

No weak foot!

And the accuracy of both feet is too good.

Patras forced himself to calm down...

He began to summarize one by one.

First of all, it is his strong defensive ability, which is the first talent he showed. Patres also witnessed with his own eyes that he has the potential to become a defensive gate that is everyone's nightmare.

Secondly, he has the ability to make accurate long passes. As a two-legged monster, he has the possibility of counterattacks from various places, and his short passes are to be determined.

Finally, as Wenger said, this guy may also have excellent game reading ability and broad vision.

Patras pursed his lips tightly, and his lips were trembling.

This is definitely number ten!

The potential of Core Ten!

This is enough to be used as an embryo for cultivation into a large core.

Which idiot let this guy play as a full-back? What a waste of talent.

This guy is only worth 800,000?

This is fucking ridiculous!

Oh no!

Good sale!

After all, it is Arsenal who are taking advantage!

At this moment, Patrese's eyes changed when he looked at Lucky.

There is light in his eyes!

In his eyes, Lucky is no longer Lucky.

But he will be the core of Arsenal for the next ten years!

A super core created by him personally!

Thinking of this, Patles could n't help but yelled, "Start ball sense training now, immediately!"

Lekai's passing skills are purely the result of his own practice. Lekai has been training in this area for more than ten years.

It takes ten years to sharpen a sword, and it remains sharp even without being revealed.

In fact, Lekai is not sure how big the gap is between his long pass skills and those of the players in the top leagues.

But he is still quite confident about this!

In the evening, Lucky waded out of the training center with the ball.

The afternoon training was extremely rigorous, and Patrese seemed to have become even stricter.

He and Chamberlain kept training.

The two people's training directions are different.

Chamberlain has enough ball-handling skills, so he needs to improve his passing ability.

On the contrary, Lucky needs to practice ball control.

As Patles said , there are no shortcuts with this stuff.

By touching the ball more often, you can control it as easily as your own arm.

For this reason, Lekai carried the ball all the way home.

Penalty kicks will be taken from time to time, and we will try to hold on longer.

At sunset, on a country road, a young boy is juggling a ball as he moves forward on a straight road.

Bathed in the red glow of the sunset, the boy juggling the ball, and the long and lonely road, it all seems as beautiful as a painting.

When he arrived at Billy's house, Lucky saw a small figure patting his body and putting something into his schoolbag.

"Kevin, what are you doing?"

Kevin was startled, turned to look at Lucky, then immediately lowered his head and said, "Kevin didn't do anything!"

Lucky frowned slightly.

He saw obvious bruises on Kevin's face!

Combined with Billy’s previous introduction and Kevin’s personality, it is very likely that he was bullied at school.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. Teenagers have excessive hormone secretion, so they classify all those who are not compatible with them and treat them coldly.

Judging from Kevin's situation, he has been suffering from school bullying for some time.

But Lucky can't help with this kind of thing.

He could only pretend not to see it.

"Let's go! Let's go in!" Lekai smiled and patted Kevin's shoulder.

…

"We're back!"

Lucky called out as he walked into Billy's house.

After entering the house, Kevin ran to the second floor at a trot, obviously not wanting his parents to see his miserable appearance.

Billy came out of the bedroom and looked at Lucky expectantly, "Did you play in today's warm-up match?"

Lucky smiled awkwardly.

Can he say that he didn't go to school?

After a brief explanation, Billy patted Lucky on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future!"
