Trial Training (Part 2)

Since Richard's side may have had some subtle changes in the team's formation due to the sudden addition of a stranger, not only did the team not form a threatening offense during the offense, but the formation also changed defensively. Some of them were slightly deformed. Richard's players who were originally in the 442 formation naturally excluded him from the formation because they were not familiar with Richard.

Seeing that the opponent is playing steadily and trying to penetrate slowly, Richard's gray team certainly cannot let the opponent play the rhythm they expect. After all, they are all familiar teammates and they also know their opponents' playing habits. Seeing the yellow team's midfielder and several other midfielders back and forth trying to advance slowly, several gray team's midfielders also started to defend.

It's just that they didn't think of inviting Richard to defend together, so facing the yellow team players' back and forth kicks, the gray team's defensive players seemed a little exhausted. Although Richard's defensive ability is really limited, he can't watch his own midfielder lose ground, and you must know that Richard is only a trial player at this time. He needs to work harder than other players. He doesn't want to give the coach Leaves an impression that one doesn't like to defend.

Although Richard actively participated in the defense, he still lacked the tacit understanding of his teammates. For example, the defensive players of the gray team seemed to have lost sight of the ball and not the people. Even the full-backs had already rushed to the midfield. This was a lot of fun. , he didn't even notice that Richard had come to defend at this time, and the two of them immediately rushed together. Since the full midfielder was out of position, the yellow team player passed the ball without hesitation, and the yellow team immediately tore apart the gray team's defense.

The yellow team's winger saw everything in front of him. He pushed the ball forward and took a big step forward. Now it was time to test the gray team's defender's defense. Since the gray team's midfield was relatively chaotic, the back line could not immediately form an effective defense. Just when the right back stepped forward to intercept, the yellow team's winger passed the ball. Knock, the yellow team's midfielder took the ball, took advantage of the situation, and successfully entered the penalty area!

The yellow team immediately posed a threat to the gray team's goal. As soon as the yellow team's frontcourt players saw that their side was in advantage, they immediately devoted all their strength to the attack. The gray team's defense was in danger.

After the initial panic, several defenders of the gray team quickly organized a relatively complete line of defense. Facing the aggressive midfielder of the yellow team, the center back immediately stepped forward to press because he knew that his team was at a disadvantage at the moment, and he simply could not let the yellow team. The team's midfielder moves forward again! The center back of the gray team is tall and strong, but his speed is definitely not slow. While he called on several other players to help him fill his position, he took long strides and rushed towards the yellow team's midfielder.

However, this cannot change the decline of the gray team at this moment. Due to the massive attack by the yellow team players, the yellow team has already accumulated several players in the frontcourt at this moment; the yellow team's forward midfielder did not panic when facing the pressing of the gray team's center back. About to block his own path, the yellow team's midfielder suddenly made a through ball; the ball passed through his side with the panicked expression of the central defender. At this time, everyone knew that the gray team's goal might soon be breached, because the yellow team's forward was already facing the goal!

Fortunately, at this time, the left back who helped the center back appeared in time and kicked the ball away before the yellow team forward got the ball! The ball immediately flew to the outside of the penalty area. At this time, there was a lot of excitement outside the penalty area. The players of the gray team wanted to destroy the attack, while the players of the yellow team wanted to score the goal at once, so the two sides immediately There was a fierce scramble outside the penalty area.

However, after all, the yellow team has invested heavily in the attack at this time, so they still have the advantage at the moment; however, the gray team cannot be considered to be in too much danger at the moment, because they only need to be able to destroy this attack, so whether they kick the ball out It doesn't matter whether it's from the sideline or a big-footed clearance, as long as they can grab the ball; but the yellow team is not good, they have the advantage, how can they give up easily with this life, so they want to work hard to control the ball at their feet.

At this time, the midfielder of the gray team made a contribution. He kicked the football, and the ball immediately escaped the control of the yellow team players. At this time, the midfielder of the gray team became more and more bold, and kicked the football suddenly; The football flew towards the center circle amid the disappointed expressions of the yellow team players.

But soon the expressions of the yellow team players were no longer disappointed, and the football flew towards the center circle. Since the yellow team had invested heavily in the attack just now, the yellow team's midfield seemed a bit empty at this moment; and although Richard participated in the defense, He was always paying attention to the changes on the field. When the gray team's left back made the first clearance, he had already returned to his position; and the defensive midfielder's big-footed clearance was even more awkward. Richard got an excellent opportunity at this moment!

The yellow team's midfielders panicked and rushed back to defend, while the gray team's players immediately began to prepare for a counterattack, and the situation on the field suddenly changed! Richard flexibly stopped the ball with his chest and dumped the ball at his feet. He poked with his toes and took a big step to start a counterattack!

The eyes of several youth team coaches off the court brightened. Although Richard had been doing nothing on the court before, they were not too disappointed. They also knew that Richard could not get the ball, so he could not say that he would have a wonderful performance; Seeing Richard stop the ball on his chest, several coaches nodded slightly. At least this Blonde kid had solid basic skills, and he could use his skills even on the court.

Since the Yellow Team's formation was relatively advanced, the Yellow Team's midfield and backcourt became empty at this time. Although several of the Yellow Team's midfielders desperately wanted to catch up, and although Richard's speed was not very fast, However, Richard still managed to get rid of the panicked Yellow Team members by several meters. Several defenders of the yellow team have already crossed the penalty area. Seeing Richard coming towards them, it is impossible for them to retreat across the board, because the forwards of the gray team are already in position at this time, and they may also pose a threat to their own goal.

At this time, the central defender of the yellow team was busy rushing forward to press for the ball, but Richard was not panicked. He tapped his right foot lightly and handed the ball to the white forward teammate who quickly came back; the white forward got the ball in the middle and the threat became The center back of the yellow team hurriedly turned around and pounced on the white forward. At this time, Richard raised his hand high to signal the big white forward to pass the ball. At this time, the white forward was not reckless and saw that Richard had a better chance and Passed the ball back.

Now Richard's opportunity came. He had already entered the penalty area and his eyes were wide open. Richard knew that his shot was tragic, so he continued to drive towards the goal with the ball. The yellow team's right back hurriedly filled the position, but faced Richard, a player from the yellow team, remained unmoved at all. Richard gently tapped the ball with the instep of his right foot and planned to break through from the left side of the player from the yellow team. The player from the yellow team quickly stretched out his right foot to stop Richard. Oh my god, who would have thought that Richard suddenly picked the ball up gently with his foot; the ball flew over the heads of the yellow team players with the depressed expressions on their faces; because the yellow team players had already stretched out their feet, he could not even think about it at this moment. He couldn't adjust his body in time, so he could only watch in frustration as Richard hit the ball with his head and went straight towards the goal!

Richard took a deep breath. He knew that now was his performance time. He knew that as long as he could score this goal, it would be of great help to his trial training. However, Richard was not nervous at all. He rushed at high speed and ran to the penalty area and face the goalkeeper who comes out!

Closer, closer! Richard could even hear the heavy breathing of the yellow team's goalkeeper, but he was not in a hurry to shoot at this moment. He wanted to seize this opportunity. He would not allow this excellent opportunity to pass through his hands! The yellow team's goalkeeper was less than two meters away from Richard. At this time, Richard finally made a move! Richard suddenly raised his right leg as if he was about to hit the goal; the yellow team's goalkeeper seemed to have spotted the direction of Richard's shot, and suddenly dived to the right; but the goalkeeper who had just made a save The goalkeeper of the yellow team felt a chill in his heart. He knew that he had been deceived; because Richard had no intention of shooting, it turned out that Richard was just a fake shot and a real pass!

I saw Richard suddenly swiping the ball to the left at the moment when the yellow team goalkeeper made a gesture to save the ball. In the yellow team's goalkeeper's sad expression, the white forward rushed into the penalty area like wind and stabbed the empty goal gently. The team leads 1-0!

"Hey, man, your passing is so good!" Although it was just an intra-team match, the white forward who scored a goal was still very happy. He smiled and put his arm around Richard's shoulders and said affectionately.

"It's your follow-up that's beautiful." Richard smiled modestly. Now he is just a trial player. He doesn't have the capital to be proud. Besides, the two of them may become teammates in the future. 

"No, no, I think you all performed great!" At this time, another midfielder from the gray team said with a smile and his arms around the two of them.

Seeing Richard's performance, several coaches on the field nodded unanimously. He has solid basic skills, good skills, and is very calm. The most important thing is not to be greedy for merit. It seems that signing such a player is a good choice. …

In the following games, Richard was no longer excluded from the lineup by his teammates. Perhaps it was because Richard showed good abilities, or perhaps it was because Richard's selflessness made his teammates accept him. Although they had There was still a lack of tacit understanding, but they also began to try to cooperate. Although Richard's strength cannot be said to be higher than these players, the players here still don't understand Richard's characteristics, so Richard's performance on the offensive end is still remarkable. At least from what he heard, he played very well today. He believed that his performance today was no worse than that of Tottenham Hotspur's youth team players.

Looking at the Tottenham youth team coaches standing by the court, Richard felt his heart begin to beat violently.
