Training (2)

After doing it for 45 minutes, Andreas stopped his training. Next, he will practice his shooting skills. He will try to improve his finishing attributes.

He will use basic shooting drills to improve this because no one is accompanying him now, so it's challenging to do shooting training alone.

So, he went to take more footballs. After coming out with ten more footballs, he set them up outside the penalty box at different angles against the goal.

He chose this way because he will play in the Attacking midfielder position. So, this position is suitable for him to practice.

But because there is no goalkeeper now, it is easy to

Shooting at the empty post. So he will try to plug the ball into the two corners.

After this, he starts his training. He first chooses the ball at a 45-degree angle.

He takes a few steps back for a run-up. He glances at the far corner of the post. Then, he points his toe, locks his ankles, and kicks the ball in the centre bottom half.

He uses low driven shot to practice first because this kind of shot is unexpected and can create troubles for the goalkeeper, who are not good on the ground.

After practising it for 1 hour stopped his training. He is already training for Two and a half hours. But he didn't feel any tired. Even though he is not physically tired, he is mentally exhausted. Especially shooting training alone is very dull.

"Man, it's so boring to shoot alone without a goalkeeper. And I don't think I will progress much without any technical coach. But here, everyone is still on vacation."

At this time, he missed his time in Man Utd. When he thought of Man Utd, he remembered a person. "Right, why didn't I think of it."

He went to the locker room and called his youth coach. Kieran Mckenna. Before returning to the past, Kieran was already on the coaching staff of man utd coaching team. But this will happen in the future. Now he is a youth team coach.

"Hey, coach, It's me, Andreas."

"Andreas, what's up, man? I heard you were loaded to Granada."

"Yes, coach.."

"Hey man, stop calling me coach. You make me feel like an old guy."

"HAHA .ok Kieran."

"So, why did you call me at this time? You should be on vacation this time."

"NO, I am currently at the training ground of Granada. I called you because I was hoping you could help me train in my technical aspect before the start of the season."

"I would love to do that, Andreas. But you know I am currently on vacation. so.."

"I will pay you 5k per week."

"OK, send me the address. I will book the next flight from here."

"OK,"

'WELL, money can solve everything. Now I don't have to worry about training aimlessly. Kieran can help me. Although right now, he is a no-name youth coaching staff in man utd.But he will significantly impact man utd players attacking training in the future.'...

................................................................................................................................

In a training ground, Andreas was training his shooting with Kieran. It's been nine days he has been training with Kieran. So far, the effects are beyond his expectations.

"I think you should add some variations in your shooting," Kieran said to Andreas. "In these days, you keep practising driven shoot. But in fact, you can do even more than that. You are very different now from when you are in the youth team."

"Well, I know that. But I wanted to increase my accuracy first with the driven shot before trying to do some other things."

"In this aspect, you are right. But your technique is too good to left out.

You can try to shoot some finesse with the inside of your instep. In this way, you can practice your accuracy."

"Well, let's try".

Andreas set up the ball. He takes a few steps back.

He kicked the ball with the inner instep of his shoe. The ball flew a few meters above the post.

"It's good. But you have to keep practising."

After that, Kieran sat up cones in a training ground.

"Now, you have to dribble through these cones and at the end of it, you have to shoot the ball into the upper right corner of the Goalpost."

"Ok"

............................................................

"you sure you don't want to consider my offer."

"Haha, maybe when you come back to England, I will think about it."

"OK, And thnx for your help in training."

"No problem, Andreas. And I hope you will have a great season."

"You can bet on that .''

"ok, I hope to see you in red devils next season."

Andreas nodded at his word.

.........................................................

"Well, he surely is a great trainer," Andreas said to himself after watching his attributes in the system. After training with him, His long shot rose by 3 points, his dribble attributes rosed by 1 point, and his technique attributes rose by 1 point. But his finishing attribute is still the same.

"Maybe it will only improve if I can do well in the match. Next, I just have to perform well. Tomorrow is the day when the first team member will gather. As far as I remember, many players here are loaned. And Granada itself is a relegation team, so there should be no problem getting starting position.

Anyway, I should leave a good impression on the coach tomorrow."
