Chapter 4
Chapter 4 can only head the ball?
"Trial!"

The voices of Li Qingshan and Uncle Maggis sounded at the same time.

"Roy, this kid is here..."

Before Uncle Maxxis finished speaking, Roy interrupted him: "Maggis, I know this kid, he scored some beautiful headers yesterday."

"You know me?" Li Qingshan asked suspiciously, did this uncle watch yesterday's game?
"Yes, I watched the video of you scoring a goal."

At this time, Uncle Maggis became anxious: "Roy, this kid is here to apply for the job of delivering leaflets."

"Oh?" Roy glanced at Li Qingshan: "Young man, do you want to change to a more stable job?"

"..."

Li Qingshan was a little stunned, what's the matter, he came to find a part-time job, but someone dragged him to try out.

"I'm just looking for a part-time job on weekends, and I still need to go to school."

"Our team is not a professional team, and many of the players also have their own jobs. If you pass the trial training, you only need to participate in team training every Monday and Thursday night and when there is no game on weekends, and participate in the league every weekend. , won't delay your going to school." Roy said calmly.

It seems that Roy really wants this kid to join the team.Uncle Maxxis was thoughtful.

"And, if you pass the trial, the team will sign you a contract, £100 a week"

"100 pounds!?"

Li Qingshan and Uncle Maggis shouted at the same time again.

The weekly salary of 100 pounds is the treatment of the main players in the team. Does this kid have this ability?Although Li Qingshan has a tall and strong figure, Uncle Maggis still has some doubts. In England's low-level leagues, such a strong figure is not uncommon, and there are even many taller ones.Football is not something that can be played well by being tall and strong.

If Li Qingshan knew what Uncle Maggis was thinking, he would definitely complain silently: I can't play football well, but I can use the top of my head well.But now he has no time to guess the heart of a red-faced middle-aged uncle.Now he is really quickly calculating the concept of a weekly salary of 100 yuan: "100 pounds a week, more than 400 a month, converted into RMB - more than 4000 yuan!!!"

This is more than Qingshan's mother earns every month when she teaches in middle school.

"Trial training or something, let the horse come here, uncle!!"

Li Qingshan can't wait

"First of all, you need to change the clothes on your body first." Roy was still unhurried, probably all doctors have this personality, even though he is just a dentist.

Roy took Li Qingshan to the team's equipment room to find a pair of sneakers and training uniforms that fit.

"There is still half an hour before the team's training. The trial training needs to be approved by the team's head coach. You can go to warm up first. Li-Qing-Shan" Roy pointed to the team's training ground, a little hard Speaking of Li Qingshan's name, probably to foreigners, Chinese names are always very difficult to pronounce.

"So you're not the head coach," Li Qingshan whispered.

"What did you say?"

"ah nothing"

.............................................................................................................
FC United players came to the training ground one after another, all cast curious eyes on Li Qingshan who was warming up on the field, but no one came forward to chat with him, probably seeing his Asian face.

At this time, Roy was discussing Li Qingshan with the team's head coach Karl Makinson.

Carl was quite satisfied with Li Qingshan's first impression. His body was quite strong, his whole body was full of muscles, and his strength seemed to erupt from these muscles at any time.

"You mean you've only seen highlights of his goals on video?"

"Yes, he has a great header"

"Well, the team needs to add a striker." The amateur team is like this, with people coming and going, but because it is an amateur team, it is not easy to find a capable player to join.

Although the current Premier League teams, especially the upstream teams, have learned from mainland football, England's low-level leagues still maintain the tradition of English football, playing high and throwing long passes.Therefore, when Karl heard that a striker with a good header came to try out, he was still looking forward to it.

"He is also very strong physically," Roy said, and he was also deeply impressed by the scene of Li Qingshan confronting the defender in the video.

"He also looks very fit. He has been running for almost 10 minutes," said the red-faced Maggis uncle who looked at his big belly enviously.

.......
Li Qingshan, who was wearing a yellow training suit, has been running laps on the training ground. He has been running for almost 10 minutes, but he seems to have been able to handle it with ease.In fact, football warm-up is not just jogging, it should also include stretching of some muscles and ligaments to avoid muscle or ligament strains during sports.However, since Li Qingshan's coach He was not professional when he was a child, although he had the name of a football school, it was more like an enhanced football interest class.

But Li Qingshan, who didn't know this, was still serious about jogging. This was his principle, and he was serious about everything he did.When he was young, the coach asked him to practice heading, and he practiced desperately; the football school closed down, and he went to high school, so he also studied hard, and finally he was admitted by the University of Manchester.

In the past few years of studying, he has also learned to think.He already knew that his training in the football school was not scientific since he was a child. Even if he has been training for heading, in fact, many of his movements are not very good.It is only relying on his talent for accurate judgment of the landing point since he was a child that makes his header look good.Therefore, after three years of high school, his football ideals have faded a lot. After all, he was 16 years old when he gave up football. It is difficult for a player who can only head the ball to be recognized by professional teams.

However, receiving the invitation for trial training from FC United still reminded him of his childhood dream, dreaming of one day galloping in the professional league, dreaming of one day being able to wear the jersey of the national team for the World Cup.

"It's just an amateur team, what am I thinking?" Li Qingshan shook his head mockingly.His current goal is just to find a job that can reduce the burden on his family for him to study in the UK.Professional football or something, just think about it.

After watching Li Qingshan run a lap, Roy brought him to Karl Makinson.

Just when Carl was about to say something to him, Li Qingshan spoke up: "Mr. Coach, Mr. Roy, I have to be honest with you about something first. I only know how to head the ball."

"I can only head the ball, what you said is that I can only head the ball." Roy is a bit messy. If it were here, most players would say "I am good at heading the ball" when introducing them, but what Li Qingshan said was "I can only header the ball." , which makes people feel strange.

"Yes, my coach only let me practice heading since I was a child." Li Qingshan replied truthfully, "Because I was taller and stronger than others since I was a child, the coach thought I was very talented in heading, so he only let me practice. header"

What kind of coach is this! !Carl and Roy were shocked.

"Young man, you are very honest. If it is true as you said, I think..." Karl looked at Li Qingshan's strong body with regret and said hesitantly.At this time, Roy Que suddenly pulled him aside.

"Carl, as long as he has enough advantage over our other players, I don't think it will be a big problem even if he can only head the ball"

"You're right, but he..."

"Trust me Carl, I've seen his headers and if he's not hoodwinked he will please you"

Obviously, for his assistant's strong recommendation, Karl decided to give Li Qingshan a chance to participate in the team's training match.

Before the training game, as usual, a physical examination should be given to the trial players.

The content of the test is actually very simple. First, Li Qingshan's height and weight were measured, and then he was asked to do five sets of 30-meter sprints, five sets of [-]-meter switchbacks, and a twelve-minute long-distance run.

It is different from a serious physical fitness test. After all, FC United and Manchester United are only an amateur team in England's seventh-tier league. The physical requirements and constraints for players cannot be as strict as professional teams.These tests simply let the coaches understand Li Qingshan's basic physical fitness - he looks tall and strong, but the coaches don't know his speed and endurance.

Such a test is a piece of cake for Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan's father opened a pig farm, but his family hardly ate pork, mainly beef, chicken, and fish, and they never stopped eating eggs and milk.

And Li Qingshan has been taller than his friends since he was a child, and his body has been growing rapidly. He didn't start to slow down until he gave up football in high school. Now he has reached 1.9 meters [-] and weighs [-] kilograms.Up to now, his physical development has not stopped, and there is still room for him to jump up in height.

From childhood to adulthood, relying on his tall body, Li Qingshan was almost a crushing existence in the youth competition. In order to maintain the performance of the football school, the coach has always let him practice heading, so he has hardly received any training in other aspects.

It stands to reason that with such an excellent physical condition, if all goes well, he would be selected into the echelon by the professional team. A large number of moths in professional football.Many small football schools established during the upsurge of the national football team entering the [-] World Cup closed down one after another, including the football school where Li Qingshan was.

At that time, it seemed that the performance of the national team had plummeted and the domestic league was lingering.There are frequent scandals of players being owed wages by clubs.So at the insistence of Aoyama's mother.Li Qingshan gave up football to go to high school.

Li Qingshan is a very smart person. Smart people can do anything if they work hard. With his hard work and achievements, he was accepted by the University of Manchester and came to England, the birthplace of modern football.

Karl is very satisfied with Li Qingshan's physical fitness test.

500米冲刺的时间分别是11秒八、11秒八三、11秒九六、12秒一一、12秒三七。

Compared with some speed players, this speed is not particularly fast, but it is definitely not slow.And judging from this set of data, his speed drop is not obvious. You must know that the time it takes to perform such continuous high-intensity sprints with only a few tens of seconds of rest time is not much different. It is not easy for a small player, let alone a strong man with a height of nearly 1.9 meters.

It can be seen from this that although Li Qingshan is not a speed player, his body has good continuous explosive power and good physical fitness.

This point was also confirmed in the next test.

Li Qingshan's 800-minute run was [-] meters.

Carl was overjoyed by this result. You must know that this result far surpassed all the players in his team.

But if he knew the training Li Qingshan had received since he was a child, he wouldn't be surprised by his physical fitness.

New China's football training materials come from the former Soviet Union.Football training in socialist countries puts a lot of emphasis on physical fitness.This is especially true in Li Qingshan's youth career. Before breakfast every day, the coach always asked the young players to run 5000 meters.This would seem so unbelievable in Europe, but in China, this is a common phenomenon.

It just so happened that Li Qingshan is a very persistent and serious person. The coach said that he has the advantage of heading, so he worked hard to practice heading. The coach said that physical fitness is the foundation, so he also worked hard to practice physical fitness.This also created such a deformed development of him.

After the physical fitness test, Karl asked Li Qingshan to take a rest and prepare for the test with the ball.

However, considering that Li Qingshan said that he only knows how to head the ball, and Carl doesn't have any good test methods, is it just arranging crosses again and again to test his header?
In the end, he decided to play a training game, only in the game can he really see a player's ability.

Assistant coach Roy with a whistle on his chest walked up to Li Qingshan and said to him, "Are you ready, young man?"

Li Qingshan nodded
"The game time is 10 and 10 minutes, the first and second halves are 10 and [-] minutes each, and the intermission is [-] minutes"

After seeing Li Qingshan nodding his head to express his understanding, Karl clapped his hands to gather the players who were warming up on the court, and arranged Li Qingshan into the bench team wearing yellow vests.

For the arrival of Li Qingshan, the players of FC United did not make much fuss, because as an amateur team, the personnel for each training is not very fixed, and the absence rate of many marginal players is very high, so new players are often needed, except that Li Qingshan is a Chinese Other than people, there is nothing special about it.

The story of a header-only player and an ambitious English seventh-tier amateur team begins here.
