Chapter 26 The Dog Running Counterclockwise
Three months after enrolling, Long Bisheng was very satisfied with everything about the school. In his eyes, the coaches were all extremely wise world famous coaches. Except for the few students who seemed to want to play in this school seriously, everything that happened in the past three months made Long Bisheng feel that a real football school should be like this.

Although compared with him, other students are almost spending time in this school, but so what?Didn't Dad once say that the ratio of students like him becoming professional players is about twenty to one or even more, as long as you perform well and make yourself that "one" is enough, what about others?

The only thing that makes Long Bisheng a little uncomfortable is that when the team is playing games, the coaches always choose him to play as a defender. The reason is that he is tall enough, has a good header, and is slow at the same time.

But Long Bisheng doesn't like this position very much, because his turn is relatively slow and he is not flexible at all. Although he has no problem dealing with high balls, as long as the opponent's speed is fast and his body breaks through flexibly, he often has no choice but to choose to foul. In the position of central defender, he cannot make a single mistake. Sometimes fouls may ruin the entire game.

But apart from the position of central defender, Long Bisheng couldn’t think of any position suitable for him. He tried as a goalkeeper, but his hands were clumsier than his feet. His running ability in midfield was not strong, and his speed was not fast as a striker. He even asked the coach about this—what position should I play?

After hearing this, the coach who was pinching his teeth spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, opened his mouth, and the peppery smell immediately made Long Bisheng take a few steps back: "What position? You melon! How old are you now? Do you know the basics? If you have the basics, how can you do it? After finishing the basic training, think about what position to play! If you want to play central defender, the coach will naturally have his own considerations!"

Long Bisheng fled immediately, never daring to say a word.

Perhaps that coach was right. After these few months of basic training, Long Bisheng’s physical fitness and technique have improved greatly, and he has become more proficient in controlling the ball. In the process of playing central defender, his header ability has also been greatly enhanced. He has learned how to use his body to block positions, judge the landing point, and compete for headers. In addition to playing a game every week, his weakness of not being good at cooperating with others has also been significantly improved. At least standing on the court, he will no longer be as confused as before.

The temperature gradually cooled down. In Shaanxi, the weather is always cold very quickly. When the bitter wind on the Loess Plateau swept across the city, the training on the playground would soon be impossible. In desperation, the training could only be carried out in the training hall.

It is said to be a training hall, but it is actually a small basketball gymnasium. A hundred people can be packed immediately after entering. Therefore, the school can only adjust the curriculum and divide it into four batches of training, which also affects the training of the students invisibly.

As the temperature gradually dropped, fewer and fewer students came to the gymnasium to participate in training. Finally one day, when Long Bisheng braved the heavy snow to come to the gymnasium, he was shocked to find that in the entire gymnasium, except for the two coaches on duty, he was the only one who came!

When Long Bisheng went out, he called his classmates in the same dormitory, but they were all huddled in the bed and refused to come out. Long Bisheng didn’t care about it at first, but he didn’t expect that not only his classmates who refused to come out of the bed, but also all the students in the other dormitories didn’t want to come out for training in this weather!

Before he came, the two coaches were chatting relaxedly. After almost one semester, they also had a preliminary understanding of the personalities of these students. With such heavy snow and such low temperature, the two coaches originally planned to chat for a while and then go back when no one came. Who knew that Long Bisheng ran over alone!
Seeing the two coaches looking at him strangely, Long Bisheng didn't seem to notice it. After shaking off the snow on his body, he asked enthusiastically, "Coach, what are you practicing today?"

"Look at today's situation, does it look like you can start training?" A coach spread his hands-they were a little annoyed. In this weather, let alone students, even they are unwilling to come out. It is so pleasant to cook a pot of hot pot with alcohol stove in the dormitory and drink some wine!Obviously you can go back and enjoy it now, but what is this kid doing?You still run out in this kind of weather, do you think you are working hard?
"I can practice alone." Long Bisheng didn't hear the dissatisfaction in the coach's tone, and said directly to himself.

Long Bisheng's words made the two coaches speechless. He always thought it was a matter of course. He paid the tuition fee by himself, and today is also a day for training. Why can't he come for training?If other people don't come, I can practice alone, right?

But the two coaches don't see it that way. If the others don't come, won't you go back too?Just to show that you can do it alone?In fact, this kind of situation has happened several times before. For example, only a few students came, and the coach simply arranged a holiday, and the other students went back happily. It was Long Bisheng who looked reluctant and hoped to stay for more training. With such a stingy attitude of not wanting to waste tuition fees, the coaches also vaguely pointed out a few words to this kid, but this kid didn’t know whether he was too stupid or something, and he never listened to it!

"Okay, you want to practice, I'll let you practice." Another coach went to a blackboard next to the wall of the gymnasium and wrote a few lines in large characters: "This is today's training subject. It will take four hours from now until school is over. I have written it out for you. Practice accordingly."

"Oh." Long Bisheng snorted, and leaned over to look at the blackboard. At this time, one coach gave another coach a hand, and the two walked out of the gymnasium quietly like thieves.

"Why are you arguing with him? You haven't figured it out these past few months? That kid is a dog that runs counterclockwise! It's different from the others, anyway, a training course has been arranged for him, so let him practice alone...Let's go, let's go drink!"

"Yes, let him practice if he wants to practice, and see what he can do in the future! If he suffers, he will suffer, and it's none of our business! Let's go and drink!"

Four hours later, this "dog running counterclockwise" finally came out of the gymnasium, walking alone through the snowy playground with a tired face, and returned to his dormitory.
