Chapter 883 I am Jose
According to Rongguang's thinking and experience of scoring the second free kick in the FA Cup final, he believes that if the free kick is far enough away, he should kick it harder, and at the same time control the height of the football so that it is within the range of the goal frame, so that the football can fly into the goal.

Isn't that how he scored the second goal?
In fact, it is long-range shooting practice without interference...

Rong Guang started his practice with this thought.

The first kick, the football he kicked hard, went straight into the sky, and flew high over the goal. If it wasn't for the ten-meter-high barbed wire wall behind it, it would probably fly directly into the small woods behind...

The soccer ball hit the barbed wire fence and made a huge clattering sound, which shows how powerful the kick is...

The second kick of Rong Guang could be lowered, but the football hit the wall directly. With a bang, the wall shook back and forth, with a great amplitude.

The third foot, the fourth foot, the fifth foot...

Ten feet passed, and Rong Guang finished kicking the ten footballs in front of him.

Not a single kick was scored.

Footballs were scattered in every corner of the training field, and some were behind Rongguang—they bounced off the wall after being kicked.

After kicking ten balls, Rong Guang stood where he was, staring at the swaying wall in a daze.

His last kick landed right on the wall.

"... I read your resume, sorry Mr. Alemani, I didn't see that you have any experience working in football clubs or community football teams...I noticed that you did...physics research in college before deciding to become a football coach?"

Sun Fengyang frowned and said to Alemani.

Although this is the first coach to apply since the training base was built, it really doesn't meet his requirements.He intends to reject the other party.

It is really not easy to find a coach in the training base, because unlike ordinary teams, most of the time in a year is relatively free, so no coach will choose to work in this kind of place.

But even so, Sun Fengyang would rather be short than excessive.

"Yes, I study physics, but I really like football, so I..." Alemani begged, hoping that Sun Fengyang would give him a chance. He really needed this opportunity to prove that his original choice was correct.

You must know that when he suddenly decided to make a transition, his colleagues and friends thought he was crazy...Nowadays it is getting harder and harder to find jobs for young people in Spain, but he has to give up his research work at the university and go out to be a football coach...

Jose Allamani's words were not able to continue, but were interrupted by continuous bangs.

Sun Fengyang turned his head and looked over. This was actually a statement, a polite refusal to Alemani.

Alemani is not a fool either, he can see Sun Fengyang's attitude.

In order to hide his embarrassment, he had no choice but to turn his head to look at the place where the bang sound came from.

When Rong Guang kicked the football against the wall, Sun Fengyang couldn't help grinning and frowning, as if the kick had kicked him... It hurts so much!

"If the ball hits the wall, that person will definitely lie down." Jose Alemani next to him also felt the same way. "You just said that Rong will practice free kicks here for half a month, is that right, Mr. Sun?"

He was so attracted by Rong Guang's practice that he completely forgot about his situation and asked a question.

Sun Fengyang didn't understand why Jose Alemani asked such a question.

But he still nodded: "Yeah."

"If he practiced like this, he would practice for a year and a half with no results. Ah, I'm sorry, I'm not disparaging Rong...Rong is a talented player, and his talent is the most outstanding I have ever seen, but if he chooses the wrong direction, with his talent, he is just running fast on the wrong road... It's the opposite, and it's getting farther and farther away from the right goal."

Having said that, Jose Alemani actually dropped Sun Fengyang and went to glory.

Sun Fengyang was a little surprised, and followed quickly.

Rong Guang didn't see what happened behind him at all, he pulled the football and continued training.

But this kick was the same as before, and it failed again. The football flew directly over the crossbar, flying quite high.

After practicing [-] times and kicking [-] times, Rong Guang missed a single kick within the range of the goal frame. This performance is far from the result of his hat-trick with a free kick in the FA Cup final.

Rong Guang himself also found it incomprehensible, why did he perform so poorly?

"Long-range free kicks don't just have to be kicked hard."

Just when Rong Guang was puzzled, he heard a voice from behind.

It was the voice of Jose Alemani.

He looked back at the young man who had come to apply for coaching.

He is said to be a young man, but he is actually older than Rongguang, but he is still younger than Sun Fengyang...

"I don't know what kind of free kick you plan to practice?" he asked.

Rong Guang spread his hands: "It's a free kick..."

"That's not a professional statement, Rong. There's no such category as a free kick. Do you want to kick a curveball or a defoliation ball or something?"

"Curveball..." Rong Guang himself was not sure, but he had practiced the curveball and was most familiar with it. If he had to choose it, he would naturally choose this one.

"Curveball, okay." Jose Alemani nodded. "But please forgive me. If you are in this position, the scoring rate is very low when you play a curve ball. It's not that you can't score a curve ball here. If you have a curve ball with such a distance, the probability is not high, and luck is more important. This is determined by the characteristics of the curve ball. No matter how you practice, as long as you kick the curve ball, you will be subject to this restriction."

"Why?" Rong Guang was curious why this man was so determined.

"It's very simple. The characteristic of the curve ball is to rotate, let the football draw an arc in the air, bypass the wall and the goalkeeper, and then fly into the goal. But the rotation of the football itself needs to be applied when you kick the ball. In order for the football to obtain enough rotation force, you need to touch the ball for a longer time when you kick the ball, so that you can pull out the arc. But at the same time, it will also make the flying speed of the football relatively slow. This slowness is not obvious, but in the eyes of experienced goalkeepers, it is enough for them to move from the middle of the goal. One step, and then jumped to the side. I think you should have noticed it in the FA Cup final?" Seeing Rong Guang's thoughtful look, Jose Alemani asked.

Rong Guang did not respond to Alemani, but he did think of the FA Cup final.He did try two free-kicks from long range before he scored his second, both left-footed curlers, but they didn't pose any threat.

The football does not fly fast in the air, and the goalkeeper has plenty of time to prepare.

Although he kicked with his left foot, he doesn't think that his left foot is not as good as his right foot.In fact, his left foot has the same strength as his right foot.

His left foot has also kicked out a long-range world wave that is no less fast than his right foot.

And Sun Fengyang has been observing Jose Alemani from the side. He found that this young man who was still a little lacking in confidence at this moment, when talking about football, his eyes are shining, he is clear, and his thinking is quick, just like before.

"So, in fact, if you really want to score with a free kick from such a long distance, I would suggest you to play the deciduous ball."

"Falling Leaf Ball?" Rong Guang had heard of the name, but had never researched it.

"Well, Juninho, you know? The one who played in Lyon... oh, he's left France now and gone to Qatar."

Rong Guang nodded.

When he played in Bayern Munich, he still played against Lyon, and the little Juninho was in Lyon's team at the time.

"His free kicks are very powerful, and his deciduous kick is the most famous among them. However, when kicking a deciduous kick, the football still needs to rotate, but when kicking the ball, the calf should be lifted to apply an upward force to the football. In this way, the football will have an arc trajectory, and at the same time, it will fall at a high speed after reaching a high point..."

Alemani explained to Rongguang, and Rongguang listened very seriously.

After Alemani finished speaking, Rongguang began to explore and try.

But with his first kick, the football was kicked away by him.

Just as he was about to continue practicing, Alemani spoke again: "Ah, interrupt... sorry."

He stood in front of Rongguang and prevented Rongguang from continuing to practice.

"What's wrong?" Rong Guang asked strangely.

"I was wrong. I found that you are actually not suitable for kicking this kind of deciduous kick. You are suitable for kicking another kind of free kick - elevator kick."

"Elevator ball? What's that?" Rong Guang and Sun Fengyang were both surprised. What is this completely unfamiliar word?

"Oh, this is a word I invented myself. In fact, it should be regarded as a kind of deciduous ball...but it is very different from the deciduous ball I mentioned before. The football does not spin in the air. The ball is very fast. It rises and falls rapidly, just like riding an elevator, so I call this kind of free kick an 'elevator ball'." Jose Alemani introduced with some embarrassment. "In fact, many people have kicked this ball, such as the little Juninho I mentioned before, and...well, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo. In addition, AC Milan's Pirlo has also kicked it. But everyone calls that ball a deciduous ball. I personally think it is different from a deciduous ball..."

"Rush up and down?" Rong Guang chewed what Jose Alemani said, and then imagined the flight trajectory of the free kick in his mind. The football rose rapidly, and after reaching the highest point, it fell suddenly and fell headlong...

Now that Alemani mentioned Cristiano Ronaldo, Rongguang recalled how Cristiano Ronaldo played in the Premier League.

Cristiano Ronaldo did score a lot of free kicks at Manchester United, and the beautiful ones were hyped up by the media, so Rong Guang will have an impression.

He remembered that there was a ball... and there it was.

Similar to what Alemani said, the football hardly rotates during the flight and goes straight up, making people think that it will be so directly above the crossbar and fly out of the baseline.

But then the football suddenly fell, scraped the post and flew into the goal, and the goalkeeper was completely caught off guard. Although he made a save, he didn't reach the ball at all...

At that time, the media praised the ball, saying how beautiful the ball was, but Rong Guang felt that it was just the luck of Cristiano Ronaldo who got into it.

After all, it is very difficult to keep the football from rotating at all. When you play the football, you will more or less exert a force on the football to make the football start to rotate. It's just a matter of size.

As long as the football itself has rotation, then the football will definitely have an arc in the air.So Rong Guang thinks that Cristiano Ronaldo's goal must be due to luck. It's nothing special to be lucky enough to score a world wave. He does it often, so he doesn't think this free kick has any reference value.

But now listening to what Alemani said, can this ball be kicked repeatedly?

He was not only surprised but also interested.

"This... how did you do it?"
