Chapter 10 Trouble in Training
Chapter 10 Trouble in training

When meeting everyone in the locker room for the first time, Li Qingshan quickly "mingled" with his teammates.The relationship between teammates in an amateur team is not as complicated as in the locker room of a professional team. In addition to playing football, many of them have their own jobs.Li Qingshan himself also has a carefree personality, and he quickly got to know everyone.

However, he was quiet on the training ground.What he showed in training was very mediocre, and to be honest, he showed some aspects of his ability like a football beginner.

Fortunately, the coaches here are very familiar with him. His performance in the trial training here is really shocking, so he left a very deep impression on everyone.

Mike Norton, the striker who didn't come yesterday due to business and didn't see Li Qingshan's trial training scene, frowned and cast a puzzled look at Li Qingshan. He didn't know what ability this big man had to enter FC United. Even the substitutes in the team can't play...

Until Karl Makinson practiced corner kick tactics.

Li Qingshan's height is naturally arranged in front of the goal. On the one hand, he has the ability to head the ball. On the other hand, this height and body shape can also attract the attention of the defense, and can create opportunities for teammates by creating gaps.

Li Qingshan is very aware of his weaknesses and weaknesses, this point became even clearer after knowing his "ability value" last night.He knows that apart from his own head skills, his ability level in other aspects is too low, not to mention the FC United Manchester players who came out of the professional youth training team and even played in the Premier League and the British Championship. Compared with ordinary amateur players, they don't have much advantage.

He is a very competitive person, and he sees the way his teammates look at him.It made him very depressed.

Karl Makinson trusts Li Qingshan's header ability very much, which is why he decided to sign Li Qingshan.

There wasn't much novelty in the tactics. After arranging the running positions of other players, Carl Makinson didn't make much arrangements for what Li Qingshan should do. He just told him "just put the ball in".

As a center forward, especially a center forward with an excellent header, getting the ball in is simply the most basic requirement.

After listening to Karl Makinson's arrangement, Li Qingshan seemed to have returned to the days when he played in the football school. At that time, the coach asked him to "put the ball in".He suppressed the emotions in his heart, cruising outside the small penalty area and waiting for the football to fly into the sky

The corner kick was taken by midfielder Jack Cottrell.The corner kick was kicked in front of the goal, Li Qingshan quickly inserted in the middle, overwhelmed the defenders to fight for the top, and the football was slightly higher than the crossbar.

There was applause on and off the pitch. This was a successful corner kick. Teammate McNaughton pulled forward to give Li Qingshan the space to compete for the top.

In the next few corner kick tactical trainings, when facing this line of defense, Li Qingshan won almost every fight for the top, and most of them were headed directly towards the goal, and then half of them broke through the goalkeeper's ten fingers. Off, to have that rate of goals in corners is remarkable.

Li Qingshan is very satisfied with his performance.

In this team, as a newcomer who has just arrived, there is nothing better than showing his strength if he wants to quickly integrate into the team.

Li Qingshan's performance in corner kick training naturally won recognition.

But soon, Li Qingshan's good days will come to an end

Karl Makinson arranged for a group confrontation, and Li Qingshan was arranged as the center forward of the substitute side.

Since his teammates already knew about his header ability, Li Qingshan did not get too many opportunities to display it. Their side attack encountered a check, and apart from header, Li Qingshan's other abilities could not bring the team how much help.

Under the condition that the main team has the defense line, Li Qingshan has no way to directly threaten the opponent's goal.

When our side tried to play a long pass to find Li Qingshan's high point for the first time, the main defense line moved forward very experiencedly, and Li Qingshan could only fall into the opponent's offside trap.

The opponent's defense gave up competing with him for the high point, but waited for him to take down the high point and then competed with him for the ball, which greatly magnified Li Qingshan's weakness.

In the next few times, the defensive line of the main force caused him trouble...

Li Qingshan frowned gradually, and the expression on his face became more and more dignified.

Karl Makinson also stood on the sidelines, frowning.

In Karl's mind, a large part of his goals for this season depend on Li Qingshan's performance. It's okay to play against weak teams in the league. Li Qingshan can stand in the penalty area and wait for his teammates to pass the header. At this time, he will be a big player. Killer.

However, in Carl's heart, this season he wants to make some achievements in the FA Cup. If the team enters the FA Cup, the opponents they encounter in the FA Cup will undoubtedly be stronger than FC United. of.

When a weak team plays against a strong team, it relies more on counterattacks and positioning balls. When the defense line is flattened by the opponent, there are not so many centers standing very close to the opponent's gate waiting for the chance to cross. At this time If the center can protect the football and wait for his teammates to move, it is very important, whether it is a counterattack or a set ball.If Li Qingshan can protect the ball in the frontcourt, then the threat will be great.

Li Qingshan was also depressed about his performance on the field. He also tried to come out to support his teammates a few times, but when the football was passed to his feet, most of them would be cut off by the defenders. Sometimes he snatched the high-altitude ball and faced The siege of defensive players quickly lost the ball.This is the result of his long-term ball protection training these days.

The current situation is that the main team is besieging the substitute team, and the substitute team cannot even pass the football. There is a big gap between the main team and the substitute team in FC United Manchester. Most of the players on the main team are knockouts from youth training who have received professional team training. Although they are knockouts who have not played in professional leagues, their Technology is much better than the average person.And the substitutes are amateur players in the true sense, they are just the best among ordinary people.

Even the knockout of professional players is much better than ordinary people.

In the case of being besieged, Li Qingshan, as a center forward, was also pushed into his own half to participate in the defense.

At this moment, he was thinking of the dozens of hours of continuous training he had done in his dream last night, and he knew that he had to make some changes.

At this time, the main player's shot was blocked and the football was cleared by the substitute defender. After seeing the football soaring into the air, the trajectory of the football appeared clearly in Li Qingshan's mind again. He quickly ran to The football falls, and the position where the football falls is controlled.

He has done this the past few times. He can always find the place where the football falls to complete the first point of contention, but because the formation is too compressed, no teammates can come up to him in time.So every time the football is pushed off by him, it will be in the hands of the opponent.

However, this time, Adam Jones, who was defending him, noticed that Li Qingshan no longer jumped up to compete for the header like the previous few times, but stood still, with his back leaning on him, squeezing back bit by bit, just like a basketball The post-up singles in the game are the same. More than 80 kilograms of weight was squeezed on Adam Jones' body. He couldn't resist at all, and could only be squeezed back bit by bit by Li Qingshan. He used both hands and feet to make the final struggle.

This is a football falling from the sky, Li Qingshan pushed his chest to the side, but he didn't control it and stopped a little farther, but he was able to stop the ball like this, which is considered to be an excellent performance.

Adam Jones was pressed behind him, and there was no way to grab the football.Li Qingshan took advantage of the situation and turned around to catch up to the football that was parked far away by him.

Adam Jones staggered, it was too late to chase Li Qingshan.

One-handed! !
Li Qingshan won the single sword! !
This is an opportunity he created by using his strong body and accurate judgment on the landing point! !
There was an open field in front of Li Qingshan, he took the ball forward to kill the opponent's goal, but the spread was bigger, goalkeeper James Spencer abandoned the goal and went out to block his single shot.

"Shoot?!"

Li Qingshan is thinking about shooting skills in his mind at this moment, however, he has never shot with his feet since he was a child.In desperation, he could only think of the heavy artillery trained last night.

At this time, James Spencer was getting closer and closer to him. In desperation, Li Qingshan gritted his teeth, tightened his right calf, and caught up with the football in two steps.

"boom!!!!!!!!!"

The sound of this foot was so loud that everyone's heart skipped a beat.

James Spencer only felt a gust of wind flying over his head, and the grass clippings from Li Qingshan's shot fell before his eyes.

"Did you shoot high?"

He turned his head expectantly, only to find that the football hit the lower edge of the crossbar fiercely, and after hitting the net, it bounced on the turf inside the goal.

He even forgot how to celebrate goals, scoring goals with his feet was a rare occurrence in his football career.At this time, Li Qingshan has strengthened his confidence in stopping the ball and shooting training. If he has the basic ability to stop the ball, protect the ball and shoot, his role will be several times greater than it is now.

Karl Makinson on the sidelines couldn't help but waved his fist when he saw the goal. This is the center forward he wanted to see.

However, the next few attempts ended in failure, either the stop was too big or the shot was too outrageous.

This is the first time for Li Qingshan to participate in the team's training. In fact, with his current header ability, there is no problem for him to gain a foothold in the FC United team.

But Karl Makinson's ambitions don't stop there.

FC United Manchester has started a new construction plan for the new stadium. A stadium that completely belongs to the team is of great significance to a team.But relying on its own financial resources to build a new stadium will also bring financial difficulties to the team.

For example, the Premier League giants Arsenal, even if it is Highbury, which has a glorious history of 93 years and has witnessed champions in the history of the Arsenal, even if the Highbury Stadium carries the memories of countless gun fans, the Arsenal club has to choose Get off this land.

The reason is simple, Highbury can only accommodate 3500 fans.It was less than half of Old Trafford, the biggest rival at the time.In terms of annual gate receipts alone, Arsenal are nearly £[-] behind Manchester United.

In 1999, Arsenal's board of directors approved the plan for the new stadium, hoping to build a new stadium with a capacity doubled to 6 people in Ashburton Grove, not far from Highbury, which is the Emirates Stadium we see today.

However, due to the new stadium, Arsenal received a loan of 2.6 million pounds from a banking group headed by the Royal Bank of Scotland, with a loan period of 14 years at that time.After repaying such a large amount of loans in just 14 years, the arsenal has since moved on to the road of "housing slaves".Arsenal reduced team expenses, strictly controlled the budget, and even the air tickets bought by players to go out for training and games were economy class.

After all, air tickets are only a small amount of money, and Arsenal's spending in the transfer market is even more frugal.From 2003, when the Emirates Stadium was under construction, to 2011, when the Highbury apartment loan was paid off, Arsenal's net transfer expenditure for eight seasons was only 8 million pounds (that is, transfer fees minus income).During the same period, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham all exceeded 2100 million, and emerging powers Chelsea and Manchester City both broke through the 1 million mark.Even team captains Vieira, Henry, Gilbert Silva, Gallas, Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie and other captains left the team one after another, leaving behind the sadness of the Gunners fans and the talk of troublemakers.

Even the giants of the Premier League are so stretched to face the financial pressure of building a new stadium, let alone FC United, which is still in the amateur league at this time.

As the team's meritorious coach, it is natural to consider the team's financial situation.For amateur teams, the biggest source of income is being able to play a game at the home court of a Premier League team. Sometimes the income from ticket broadcast fees is even worth the team's budget for one or two years.

However, ambition requires strength to support.Carl is well aware of this.His idea became stronger after Li Qingshan arrived.For a team, having a powerful center with dominance gives them a lot of options in many tactics when dealing with strong teams.

He looked at Li Qingshan who kept trying to catch up with his teammates on the field but failed again and again, his eyes were burning.

He pointed to the players on the field and said to assistant coach Roy: "I will put my bet on that kid!"

Roy looked in the direction of his finger, and what he was pointing at was the big man on the field whose clothes were soaked in sweat——Li Qingshan.
