Chapter 5 Header Header Header! ! !
FC United's head coach Karl Makinson shook his head.

"It's a pity for such a great physical fitness," he commented.

Li Qingshan's performance on the court was very average. He didn't have a tacit understanding with his teammates, and he stopped and protected the ball like an ordinary amateur player.You know, although FC United is a team in the seventh tier league, but because the number of fans far exceeds that of teams of the same level, the income of the team naturally rises, and many of the players recruited are in the youth training of professional teams. Those eliminated from the battalion, although they did not play in the professional league, their technical level is much better than that of ordinary amateur players.

"The body is very good, but the technique under the feet is too rough." Assistant coach Roy also shook his head
Li Qingshan on the court is also playing a bit depressed at the moment. He has not touched football since he was in high school. He is already 19 years old and has missed the best growth period. Difficult to ascend to heaven.He tried to catch the ball at the feet of his teammates, but the stop was not ideal. He even stopped the ball with great difficulty, and the defender lost it as soon as he pressed.

So far, Li Qingshan's performance can be said to be very bad.If only relying on such performance, the team would certainly not be able to give him a main treatment contract with a weekly salary of [-] pounds.

He even wondered if he had misread it. Could it be that the kid's header yesterday was just luck?
etc!header?
By the way, it's a header! !

He leaned forward to head coach Carl Makinson, who was standing in front of him watching, and said, "Carl, I suggest getting the wide player off the ball and feeding him the high ball."

"That's the only way to go," Carl Makinson said, "No wonder this kid said he only knows how to head the ball at the beginning."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the sidelines and signaled the goalkeeper coach Paul Horn, who was the guest referee, to suspend the game, and he wanted to rearrange his tactics.

Seeing that the game was suspended, Li Qingshan thought that the trial training was over. He felt a little frustrated when he thought of his performance on the court.In the first few minutes, his temporary teammates would pass him the ball, and after he made a few stop errors and was intercepted by the opponent, his teammates had already lost confidence in him.

There was a huge disappointment in his heart, and he was a little unwilling.

He turned around and walked towards Uncle Maxxis—at least the job of handing out leaflets would not be lost, it was not easy to find a job in England.Especially an Asian face.

At this moment, assistant coach Roy stopped him: "Lee"

Li Qingshan turned around and looked at him.

"Where are you going"

"Isn't the match already over?" Li Qingshan asked, spreading his hands.

Roy smiled: "It's just a timeout, the game is about to restart, go back to your position!"

Li Qingshan scratched his head, but seeing Roy's gesture to let him play, he had no choice but to turn around and run to the front court in doubt.

The game restarted, and Li Qingshan quickly discovered that the game had changed.Before, everyone was pursuing ground cooperation, but now, the football is quickly assigned to the wing, and then two players from the wing take turns to play the ball.

When the football is flying through the air, towards the center of the penalty area.Li Qingshan felt the feeling he had when he was playing football since he was a child - the flight trajectory of the football, its landing point, and even its speed all came to Li Qingshan's mind one by one.

When he was in the football school, header was the only way he could rely on to score.His concept of heading the ball has always been so clear-he knows when and where to head the ball.

If his school was a slightly more professional football training institution, if his coach understood what a terrifying talent it is to be able to 100% judge the trajectory and placement of a football, Li Qingshan might have stepped into the Chinese Super League by now arena.

But for Li Qingshan at this moment, he has no time to think about these things.

After the football on the wing flew into the air, he quickly inserted into the penalty area, occupied the position where the football landed, and was ready to jump for the top.

FC United's main central defender Adam Jones who defended him last season did not face the enemy. Probably because Li Qingshan's poor performance made him think that Li Qingshan was no threat. He didn't even stick into Li Qingshan and let him rush into the penalty area. .

Faced with such an easy chance to head the ball, Li Qingshan, who has practiced heading the ball for seven or eight years in the football school, would naturally not let it go. It bounced to the ground suddenly, and bounced into the gate after hitting the ground.

Such a powerful header fully demonstrated Li Qingshan's core strength.

FC United's main goalkeeper, James Spencer, could only wave his hand instinctively, unable to do anything about the ball flying into his goal.

Carl Makinson was not deterred by the header. He was very dissatisfied with Adam Jones' defense. He roared at the field: "Jones! Are you still awake? Defend! Defend!!"

Adam Jones did not defend himself, he understood that the conceded goal was due to his contempt for Li Qingshan, he shouted to the audience: "I will not let him take off so easily!!"

But the situation was not as Adam Jones expected. He thought that he just underestimated the opponent just now, and let the big man who stopped the ball in a mess get lucky enough to score a header.

When the football was passed high to the front of the small penalty area again, although Adam Jones was close to Li Qingshan this time, he was stuck behind him--Li Qingshan was a bug in judging the landing point.

Being stuck behind a 190cm strong man weighing [-]kg, it is impossible for Adam Jones to hit the ball without fouling.

But before he fouled, Li Qingshan, who was leaning against him, suddenly took a step forward, and the sudden relief made him stagger. When he regained his balance, Li Qingshan still jumped high again, playing with his head, throwing the football After orientation.

The crisp sound of "哐" hit everyone's hearts.

The coaches on the sidelines involuntarily leaned forward.

I watched helplessly as the football hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the net.

"Hmm..." Roy couldn't help cheering when he saw that the football was once again scored by Li Qingshan.

Carl on the sidelines was expressionless, but suddenly turned to Roy and said, "Tell the players, strengthen the defense in the middle of the penalty area, and make trouble for him at all costs. Put Jerome on the field and strengthen a central defender to defend."

Roy was stunned: "Then who will come down?"

"No need to change." Only then did Roy notice the look on Carl's face.

"I want to see how this kid deals with these troubles."

The other coaches froze for a moment when they heard this sentence—strengthen the defense to understand, and let one side have an extra central defender to defend one person?Is this too strict?
Roy didn't think much about it. In fact, Li Qingshan's header ability just now has exceeded his expectations. He also wants to see where Li Qingshan's limit is.

When the game was paused again, Carl stood in front of the FC United players and announced his deployment.

The team's central defender, Adam Jones, was furious when he heard that another central defender was defending Li Qingshan. He felt that this was a complete humiliation for him. The boy who was in such a mess was actually scored two goals on his head by the opponent.

Seeing the expressionless coach, he also knew that his performance just now was not good, so he didn't say anything.

"Being hit by a stranger, a boy with a hairy head, scored two goals on top of your heads. I know how you feel now. You must feel that you have been humiliated," Carl said calmly.

"Why, do you think you are a Premier League team? Do you think you are qualified to underestimate your opponent? Have you forgotten last season! Focus on focus! We are not qualified to underestimate any opponent, am I right, Adam!! "

Adam Jones, who was originally furious, calmed down after hearing Carl's words: "I remember, boss"

FC United won No.4 in the Northern Premier League Premier League last season, entered the promotion play-offs, and entered the final after beating BradfordPA, but in the final, they were pushed in by a striker who had been mediocre throughout the game. A header, was lore by the opponent, leading to the failure of the team's promotion.

Adam Jones knew that if he didn't underestimate the opponent because the opponent didn't have a decent performance throughout the game, but was as focused as he was at the beginning, the opponent might not be able to score.

Adam Jones raised his head, clenched his fists, and his eyes glowed fiercely.

"I won't let that kid score again," Adam Jones said through gritted teeth.Whenever he thinks that the team failed to upgrade because of his own defensive negligence, he always feels ashamed.At this time, he has forgotten that the opponent is just a player who came to try out. He regards this training match as the beginning of this season, and he will use his actual actions to avenge his shame.

"Very good, Adam, I'm very pleased that you have this fighting spirit." Karl nodded, expressing his appreciation and encouragement to Adam Si's attitude, which inspired the morale of the whole team.

In addition to establishing the team's tactical system, a very important part of the head coach's job also includes grasping the team's mentality and morale.Especially in amateur leagues, morale is even more important than tactics.

"You have to stop him at all costs. He is very good at heading the ball. Fight him to the death in the air." Carl beat his palms with his fists, motivating the morale of the players.

"You can foul, as long as you can beat him!" Karl is like an instigator at this time, even allowing the team to use foul tactics.

"Roar!!!!!"

The players of FC United let out a deafening roar.

Looking at the faces of the players flushed with excitement, Roy asked Carl Makinson a little worried: "Will it be too much, Carl?"

He could see that Karl attached great importance to Li Qingshan's ability, but in order to prevent a player from adding an extra central defender, he also incited the fighting spirit and anger of these players.You must know that most of these players are young people in their early twenties, and young people are the easiest to be incited. With their enthusiasm, they can do jaw-dropping things.

Carl was excited at this time: "Roy, if this kid can practice the basic ball protection ability, the team's goal this season is not only to upgrade, I even dare to think about going around in the FA Cup !"

Li Qingshan didn't know what the coach said to those players. He stood on the court, looked left and right, and looked at his temporary teammates. They all seemed to be substitute players for this team.He wanted to try to remember their appearance, and when he arrived in the game, he hoped to find some cooperation. In the situation where everyone was unfamiliar, this was the only way.

There were bursts of roars in the circle where the main players gathered. Li Qingshan didn't know what this meant, but the faces of his temporary teammates changed, and they began to worry about the big man in front of them.

You know, when the main players are serious, the substitute lineup is really difficult to parry.

When the game started, Li Qingshan quickly discovered that he was facing more defensive pressure. In addition to the central defender who had been staring at him in the first half, the opponent also added a central defender to help defend.One side is the main lineup, the other side is the substitute lineup, and there is one more person on the other side.

This game is so unfair.Li Qingshan complained silently.

In addition to the fact that the opponent has one more player, the opponent's man-marking has also become tighter. In the first half, the team was able to find opportunities to kick the ball from the wing. Up to now, those temporary teammates of our team even Difficulty developing the ball to the wing.Moreover, even if he was able to take the ball to the side and barely kick it off, when he broke into the penalty area to grab a point, he was hugged by the opponent's player and knocked to the ground.He thought he would hear the referee's whistle, but the guest referee Paul Horn said nothing, spreading his hands to signal the game to continue.

In this situation, he has qualified more than once, and he began to understand that the other party has used all means to stop him.

Restricting crosses, strong collisions, defending more than less, even defending like wrestling.....
There is only one purpose - to prevent him from hitting the football.

At this time, Li Qingshan began to feel a little annoyed that he could only head the ball. If he could use other skills besides the header at this time, the opponent's defense would not be effective-for example, if Li Qingshan's long-range shots were reliable. If he can, he can pull out of the penalty area and wait for his teammates to pass and shoot; if he can control the ball, he can stop the ball in the penalty area and wait for his teammates to respond.Instead of being surrounded by opponents in the penalty area like now.

However, other skills are not immediately available. Li Qingshan is observing the positions of his teammates and opponents, thinking about countermeasures.

After thinking about it for a while, there is no good way to get along. In fact, Li Qingshan also knows that the head coach of FC United Manchester United has put such a formation on him, which has already shown that he attaches great importance to him. If the game ends now, this trial training It was definitely passed.

But in Li Qingshan's character, there is a little stubbornness, he is a perfectionist, and to put it bluntly, he is paranoid.Just like when the coach asked him to only practice headers, he repeated the boring header training every day without interruption; later, he went to high school, but without much cultural background, he insisted on relying on the perseverance of only sleeping three or four hours a day. Received admission letters from many universities.

It's the same now, he is constantly piercing through the opponent's defense line all the time, not giving up any opportunity to grab a point, even if his body is bruised and purple when he is hugged by the opponent.

Karl was actually very satisfied with Li Qingshan's performance at this time, and just as he was about to end the match, the situation on the court suddenly changed.

Because the substitute team could not effectively develop the football into the opponent's penalty area, under the pressure of the opponent, a defender hurried forward with a big foot, and the ball flew into the penalty area, but Li Qingshan was the only one in the penalty area. In addition to Adam Jones, there are two opposing players in front of him and behind him.

The moment the ball was passed, Li Qingshan judged that the ball was not where it landed, and he occupied that position, with his arms spread out, trying to fight for the space for himself to take off.Several other defensive players approached him one after another. From the air, Li Qingshan was sandwiched between several players, like a sandwich biscuit with a little filling.

The moment the ball fell, Li Qingshan tried to jump up, and other defensive players also jumped up one after another, trying to interfere with Li Qingshan's grabbing point. Under him, Adam Jones didn't follow suit. He tried to squeeze against Li Qingshan, hoping to interfere. His balance, however, the first point of the football was still snatched by Li Qingshan. Just when everyone thought he was going to shoot the ball with a header, the goalkeeper had already blocked the angle of the kick with his header, but he turned his head. At one point, point the football to the space on the right side of the goal, where one of his teammates stepped in and kicked the ball into the empty goal.

The audience was silent.

"crack, clap, clap"

A moment later, solitary applause sounded from the edge of the court.

"Roy, our goal for this season is going to change."

"We're going to win the FA Cup!!!"
