Chapter 132 A Space of 15 Meters
In the qualifiers in Oceania, the two giants in Group A and Group B—New Zealand and Tahiti—didn’t give any chance to be upset at all, and the two teams were also moving forward according to the scripts of the past few years, until the day when the two teams met.

Mark Paston!
When Li Guo projected his picture on the big screen, the Tahitian players looked at each other. They knew this guy, but they didn't know why Li Guo was so interested in him.

Then Li Guo said: "I watched New Zealand's game. In addition, in the BJ Olympics, I led the team and played against the New Zealand Olympic team."

"This team is tough, rough technical, but physically strong like rugby players. It's a tough team to play against."

The Tahiti players were silent and thought: "That's up to you to say, the most humiliating game in Tahiti's history was brought to us by New Zealand."

"Tahiti has no advantage in fighting technology,"

"If you work hard, you will lose even worse,"

"Then shall we admit defeat?" Chen Xiu asked.

"Of course not, the chance left for Tahiti is only 15 meters,"

How is this calculated?

Everyone is confused?
Li Guo started to play Fiji's goal in the qualifiers. Li Guo used video processing software to process it. The line between the New Zealand central defender and the goalkeeper was painted in blue.

"This area is about 15 meters. If Tahiti is going to beat New Zealand, then it must work within this 15-meter area."

Li Guo looked at Chen Xiu, and the meaning was obvious. Success or failure depended on whether Chen Xiu could make good use of the 15-meter area.

After the meeting, Li Guo found Chen Xiu in the coffee shop, "What's your current [-]-meter speed?"

"About 11 seconds 30,"

"Do you have the confidence to break 11 seconds?"

Chen Xiu looked distressed, "It's hard, I'm not young anymore, and there's not much room for improvement."

Li Guo nodded.

"That can only do some work on the start time, like the moment the passer's ball is out of his foot, you start."

Chen Xiu shrugged, "Maybe, but it's not something I can decide on my own."

That can only be the old way, special training.

*****
In the first step, Li Guo first used dummies to line up two lines, one representing the back line, and the other representing the area where the goalkeeper stood.

Then Li Guo personally passed the ball to Chen Xiu. After testing, Chen Xiu was very close to the dummy goalkeeper after receiving the ball, the distance was less than 1.5 meters.

Li Guo was puzzled, this is not right, it stands to reason that Chen Xiu's [-]-meter speed is fast enough, because it is in training, passing the ball without any suddenness, so the reaction time is normal, so what went wrong?
After watching the training video repeatedly, Li Guo discovered the problem, which was a problem with stopping the ball.

We know that the real Messi's ball-catching skills are top-notch. Even if he passes the ball very quickly, Messi can take it off lightly. However, Chen Xiu, the fake Messi, can't do it. He stops the ball at least one meter away.
"stop!"

Chen Xiu was very dissatisfied with his performance, but he didn't know what the problem was.

"Don't practice this now, you have to train the ball first,"

Li Guo recruited Ji Ke and asked him to train Chen Xiu's ball-stopping skills. The goal is to reach the level of the Chinese Super League.

In order to save time, Li Guo split the special training for Chen Xiu into two parts, practice running in the morning and practice stopping the ball with Ji Ke in the afternoon.

*****
At the same time as the special training, the Oceania qualifiers were also going on. After the special training, Chen Xiu obviously felt that his skills had improved and he scored more goals than usual.

Many players always think that if they want to become stronger, they must engage in some high-end things, such as hiring European fitness coaches, such as Adidas special sneakers and so on.

But Li Guo understands that the real way to improve a player quickly is in small details, such as stopping the ball.

Why are some players on the field always kicked, but for a top player like Messi, the opponent's defender can't kick him, because some people stop the ball 1 meter or 2 meters away, and it is difficult for the opponent not to kick you.

Li Guo's tactical special training plus personal special training is like traditional Chinese medicine, the effect is slow, but it is obvious, and finally the day when Tashi proposes the line has come.

New Zealand and Tahiti met each other in the final with undefeated records. This is the pinnacle matchup of Oceania football.

"Come on, Li Guo, I'll show you something," Atani said to Li Guo.

When Li Guo followed Atani to the beach, he saw a very long canoe, which looked a bit like a Chinese dragon boat at first glance, and it was also divided into two rows, with more than 10 people in each row.

"Why did you show me this?"

"Go up first, shall we?"

Li Guo followed Atani into the canoe, everyone paddled, and the canoe began to sail towards the sea.

"Li Guo, our ancestors came to Tahiti in canoes."

Li Guo knew about the origin of the Polynesians. Some people said they came from South America, and some said they came from Asia, but no matter what, one thing is for sure. In the remote prehistoric period, the ancestors of Atani came to Tahiti by rowing across the ocean.

"If this continues, will it go directly to China?" Li Guo joked.

"Some people say we are from China,"

"Maybe."

"If that's the case, thousands of years ago, our ancestors came to Tahiti from China, and today, a Chinese coach came to Tahiti," Attani said with a smile.

"Human beings are great," Li Guo thought to himself.

The canoe continued to paddle forward, and the wind and waves became bigger and bigger, and the boat shook violently. It was hard for Li Guo to imagine how the ancients sailed across the ocean with such a canoe.

"Okay, that's it for today," Atani said.

Li Guo thought to himself: "Thank God."

"By the way, the canoe team will be paddling to Auckland before our game away to New Zealand, and they're practicing now."

Li Guo was speechless, this is a real expedition.

"Li Guo, you have taught me a lot, such as fearlessness, which I lacked before. I used to think that Tahiti's population is too small, and we must have nothing to do in football."

Li Guo patted Atani, "You also taught me a lot. To tell you the truth, I became the head coach of the Chinese team because of an accident. At first I was afraid. Maybe I won't be afraid anymore, even if I stand on the stage of the World Cup."

At this time, even if Li Guo told Atani about the crossing, the other party would probably believe it. After so much experience, Atani sincerely admired Li Guo, the football coach from China.
