Chapter 12 The Fast Boy

August is hot in England

In a few days, the Olympic Games will start in London, which is a big event for the British.

But none of this has anything to do with Nick Adams.

He was standing in front of FC United's training ground with his sports bag on his back.The sun shone on his dark and shiny skin, and sweat ran down his cheeks. He was wearing a sports suit with short sleeves and shorts, showing his strong calf muscles.

A month ago, he would never have thought that he would join such an amateur team.Although, the team is quite famous in his community.

Because he came out of the famous Manchester United youth academy, which is the place where Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, David Beckham and other superstars were trained.

However, for Nick Adams, the days in the Manchester United youth academy were full of bitterness.

"Is it a watermelon under your feet?! Nick!"

"Move! Nick!"

"Pass! Pass! Pass!"

"Are you aiming at the moon!"

The technique at the feet is rough, the football awareness is too poor, he will only dribble the ball, the passing footwork is too poor, the passing awareness is too poor, the crossing ability is poor, the running awareness is even worse, and he has almost no shooting ability.Anyway, almost all advanced technical abilities are appalling.

However, being spotted by the Manchester United youth academy naturally has advantages.

The advantages of Nick Adams are good physical fitness and extremely fast speed.

So much so that the coach of the Manchester United youth training camp gave him an evaluation: "It is more suitable to practice track and field, not football."

There is no doubt that last year when he was 17 years old, the Manchester United youth academy gave up his training and eliminated him.

Among the young players in the Manchester United youth academy, very few of them can finally play for a giant like Manchester United.Most of these players were either eliminated in the first-level selection, or went to other Premier League teams or the Championship team to find their own seats.

This is very common in the youth training camps of giants. With the support of strong funds, the giants also have the pursuit of performance. The players they need are mature players with certain strength and experience.And many players who have just come out of the youth academy obviously cannot meet this demand.

The most representative of these is the Spanish giants Real Madrid.When it comes to youth training in Spain, the first thing people think of is the La Masia youth training base in Barcelona. In the Barcelona first team, there are many players from La Masia, Messi, Iniesta, Harbin dimension.However, Real Madrid gives people the impression that the team is full of stars. They are used to buying the world's top players in various positions to form a luxurious division known as the "Galaxy Battleship".

Therefore, many people ignore Real Madrid's Castilla youth training camp, which is a youth training base comparable to La Masia. Although they did not contribute many players to Real Madrid's first team, this youth training base is It can be called "a source of water for La Liga". Except for Barcelona, ​​almost every La Liga team can see players from the Castilla youth academy.

The same is true for Nick Adams. He was given up by the Manchester United U18 echelon, which does not mean that he is insulated from professional football.If you can't play for Manchester United, you can try other Premier League teams.

However, Nick Adams went to all the Premier League teams for trials, he went to Manchester City, he went to Arsenal, he went to Chelsea
No Premier League team wants to take him
Not even the English Championship, League One, League Two, and League C are not interested in him.

After all, football is not track and field, and it is not about running fast to play well.

In desperation, he approached FC United. After all, as Manchester United's youth training team, he had heard the name of this team.

Nick Adams is unwilling to leave football. In this case, he can only find a team that allows him to play and maintain his own state.

There are too many people who play in the amateur league in England to play in the professional league.Nick Adams also wants to be one of them.

Naturally, FC United will not reject such a player who has received youth training at Manchester United. Although he was rejected by a professional league team, he is a player from Manchester United's youth training after all. His basic skills are not too bad, and his physical fitness is good , extremely fast.This is enough in the amateur league.

It has been a month since Li Qingshan joined FC United. During this month, in addition to regularly attending FC United's training every week, he also worked hard on stopping the ball and long-range shooting skills in the world of football training camps.

In this month's training, his ball-stopping skills have made great progress, at least he won't stop the ball from his teammates several meters away from him.The long-range shooting ability has also begun to take shape. He often uses his strong body to lean on the central defender to turn around and shoot vigorously.At least for now, he no longer only knows how to head the ball.

Adam Jones, who has been confronting Li Qingshan in training this month, has the deepest feeling. At the beginning, he only needs to pay attention to Li Qingshan's position and prevent him from rushing into the penalty area to grab a header.Knowing Li Qingshan's characteristics, it is relatively easy to prevent this.But now that Li Qingshan has the ability to catch the ball outside the penalty area, he sometimes stops the ball and uses his body to protect the ball and it is difficult to grab it. At this time, his teammates will start running around Li Qingshan. His height of 190 centimeters raises the Observing from the head makes him like a lookout post on a sailboat. Standing high and seeing far away, he can see the position of his teammates at a glance.He can pick the passing lanes with ease.Even if all passing routes are blocked, he can always protect the ball and allow the opponent to steal the ball and win a free kick. At this time, he can wait for a comfortable header in the penalty area.

Carl and the others were quite surprised by Li Qingshan's speed of progress, and they could only explain it with "You are a fucking genius".

This day was Saturday, and Li Qingshan came to the training ground as usual.

At this time, he found that besides the coaching staff who must come earlier than the players for every training session, there was also an unfamiliar face.

After all the players arrived one after another, Coach Marginson called everyone together.

"Let me introduce to everyone, this is Nick Adams, from the Manchester United youth training camp." He pointed to the black boy who looked a little shy and said.

"Wow."

"Manchester United youth training"

After Ma Jinson finished speaking, FC United players talked a lot. A player from Manchester United's youth training camp is not common for these amateur league players.

However, after the start of the training, the players of FC United did not find anything special about Nick Adams. His skills were very ordinary. Apart from his basic skills, there was nothing outstanding about him.

However, in the training match, Nick Adams surprised everyone.

FC United's style of play is traditional English football, with a 442 parallel formation.Nick Adams as a winger occupies a position on the right of the midfield.

The traditional winger tactic is to go down and then cross. The winger uses his own speed to break through the opponent's full-back on the side of his foot, and then passes to the two center forwards in the middle to outflank and grab a shot.

Although this tactic is simple, such a simple tactic can best play the characteristics of Nick Adams' fast speed but poor technique.

Lee Neville, as the full-back defending Nick Adams, saw Nick catch the ball and got close to the opponent to prepare to defend. He was not too close to prevent the opponent from breaking through, nor too far away. He stood in a more suitable position. .

However, after Nick Adams received the ball, he didn't look at Lee Neville's position at all. He directly threw the ball towards the baseline.

Lee Neville only felt a moment passing by his ears.

Really wind!

The speed of the wind quickly surpassed him.

This speed is the most shocking, because it is the most intuitive.

So much so that the players of FC United did not react, and their jaws dropped from the wind-like speed of Nick Adams.

"So fast"

"Is this Bolt possessed?"

"Oh my God."

However, Nick Adams followed with a poor cross.

So much so that Li Qingshan, who was preparing to grab points in the penalty area, could only watch the football fly high over the penalty area and land on the sideline on the other side.
