The cross came out!
Maher took a long breath, after passing boringly for an hour, he finally got the cross proficiency panel.
As mentioned in the utility, for a winger, crossing is definitely a very important skill.
A winger who can't cross is basically walking with one leg cut off.
Once you get the ball, the opponent knows that you will either cut inside or pass back, so there is little pressure on defense.
Even Robben, who is famous for his cut-in shooting, has a good cross ability, and occasionally he can make a bottom posture to confuse the defender.
The key point is that the defender must follow, because if Robben really has the opportunity to pass, it is not difficult to break through their defense.
This is also one of the aspects of Robben's high success rate of cutting inside.
The defender can't let go anywhere, sometimes when he hesitates and gets nervous, Robben has already cut inside and shot.
"Try to improve the cross to level 3 before the season starts, the same level as the long shot."
Mael made a plan and imagined the future, "I won't be afraid even if I play in the English Championship."
When he gets a chance, he will play by himself. If he doesn't have the opportunity to kick, he will stand on the side and pass the ball. This is functional for the team.
It should not be difficult to get a chance to play.
After slowly adapting to the English Championship, he will compete for the starting position. If he gets the starting position, he will try to get as many data as possible and make his name and value in Sheffield United.
The world is eager to hear the stories of young and promising people.
Although Mahel is not in a hurry, he knows that the road must be taken step by step, but he still hopes that he can go a little faster.
"Keep going."
Mael didn't think too much and walked to Gilbert's side, "Let's play one-on-one, and practice cross next time."
He wanted to work out the dribbling skill that he had planned before. After he had a breakthrough ability, he was not in a hurry to work on new skills in the near future.
Wait until these are upgraded to level 3 or so, and the strength is also at level 3.
He can do some coordination and speed exercises to make himself more comfortable on the wing.
"Come on."
With the shock of enlightenment, Gilbert was convinced by Maher's training method. He lowered his center of gravity and stood in front of Maher. "I'm not good at defense. This is my weakness.
"You can practice with me, and I can learn to steal from you. "
Maher hesitated for a moment. Through the training of shooting and passing, he understood that each major ability should have many subcategories.
For example, shooting is definitely not just long-range heavy shots with the instep, but also volleys, headers, arc shots, etc. The same is true for passing.
Dribbling skills are definitely not just dribbling.
This may even be the major category with the most subcategories, because there are so many ways to pass.
So how should he choose?
Common ones include stride over, Marseille turn, bicycle kick, McGee turn, fried meatballs, etc.... He first considered his position.
As a winger, there are two most common one-on-one scenarios, breaking through the bottom and breaking through and cutting in.
The most suitable for these two... should only be stride over and bicycle kick. He doesn't need too many skills such as Marseille turn.
Narrowing the range of choices, Mahher then considered the elegance.
Then the answer is undoubtedly, bicycle kick!
"Bang bang...! "
Moving the football under his feet, Maher ran towards Gilbert, first wrapping his left leg around the football, then his right leg...
"Snap!"
Gilbert stretched out his foot and neatly intercepted the ball under his feet.
Mael suddenly lost his balance, stumbled a few steps, and almost fell. After recovering, he took the football again and started cycling towards Gilbert.
In this way, he was intercepted again and again, and made mistakes again and again.
The sweat on his face also slowly gathered and dripped down, some of which fell into his eyes, making him very uncomfortable.
Gilbert couldn't stand it again and advised: "How about you change your moves?
"Your cycling is really bad, not to mention me, maybe Mr. Wenger can intercept it with one foot.
"If you have more tricks, it will be hard for me to defend. Defense is my weakness. "
Mael waved his hand and started cycling again, constantly changing the number of cycling movements in the process, hoping not to make Gilbert too bored.
More than 20 minutes passed, Gilbert mechanically stole the ball again and again, this time he really didn't understand and couldn't figure out anything.
"Snap!"
Until he stole the ball from Mahel again, Maher stopped, wiped the sweat off his face and lay on the ground.
Gilbert sat aside and touched his chin thinking, he was a man who was good at thinking.
After a long time, he suddenly raised his head: "Is it physical training? "
Mael: "…"
[Skill: Bicycle LV1]
[Proficiency: (43/100)]
[Effect: As an offensive player, you must master the skill of breaking through. You began to practice bicycle dribbling diligently, but the results are minimal. You are eager for the day when you can upgrade.]
...
In the next few days, the two kept going back and forth between their residence and the training base, and gradually became familiar with everything around them.
Sheffield is an industrial city. It still retains many buildings and factories from the last century. Walking on the street has a retro feeling.
But it is also famous for its university city. The fresh faces from all over the world who come to study here bring a lot of vigorous vitality, making it look very vibrant.
You can even give it the title of a sports city.
The names of Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday are all well-known in European football.
Ma El gradually adapted to this place. He has always been very adaptable. With Gilbert as a companion, he did not feel lonely.
Before the players' assembly day arrived, the two of them stayed at the Sheffield first-team training ground every day, doing extra training on the extremely high-quality grass.
Jolson often accompanied them. He seemed to be quite free recently, probably because he had no tasks from the club.
July 8, two days before the assembly day.
At the Sheffield United first-team training ground.
After a cross, Maher's right ankle and right leg suddenly felt a strange feeling, which made him tighten his instep and clamp his knees.
[Skill: Curved Cross lv2]
[Proficiency: (1/300)]
[Effect: After a long period of practice, you gradually find out how to make a curve when crossing. When the confrontation is not fierce and observation is sufficient, you can occasionally send a high-quality curved cross! ]
"Bang! Bang...! "
Mael was not idle, nor did he sigh. He immediately picked up the football and tried a few kicks.
Since it was a two-person practice, the confrontation was not intense and the observation was sufficient. His crosses were all accurately drawn in a banana shape and landed in front of Gilbert's forehead.
Gilbert didn't even need to move much to complete a powerful header.
"The quality of these kicks...?"
Gilbert was a little confused. As someone who accompanied Mahel in training every day, he knew Mahel's crosses very well. "Did you realize something again? Wasn't it like this when you were cycling the other day? Suddenly you became better?"
"No, you just made accurate judgments and headed well. "Maher waved his hand, very modestly.
Due to the high initial proficiency of cycling, he had already practiced to level 2 two days ago.
After practicing the cross ball to level 2 today, his strength has once again ushered in a substantial improvement.
In total, he now has a lot of abilities... violent shot level 3, strong level 2, arc cross lv2, continuous cycling lv2!
"If all are level 3, I must be able to gain a preliminary foothold in the English Championship."
Maher once again lay on the soft grass. He liked it very much, feeling the soft grass beside his cheeks and staring at the blue sky in a daze.
Where he didn't notice, Gilbert raised his eyebrows several times to feel his forehead, and then jumped a few times to feel his jumping ability.
Finally, he spread his hands and looked at his hands puzzled: "Do I have the potential to be an air master?"
