Iron Man on the pitch

When Li Ling came to the training base the next day, he saw head coach Paul Bento holding a stack of newspapers in his hand and staring at him with a strange smile.

Behind him were a few teammates who shouldn't have appeared but came to the training base early, and these guys were staring at him with the same weird smiles.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Ling probably guessed the reason, but still pretended to be surprised to express his doubts.

"You did it well, you did it well!" Paul Bento slapped the newspaper in his hand and then stuffed it to Li Ling.

Li Ling looked at the "Lisbon Risbon Stars Unbeaten Season Championship" on the front page of the sports newspaper, laughed twice, and returned the newspaper to Paul Bento quietly: "I wasn't this careless."

Teammates started to make excitement one after another.

"Wow, I understand, that female reporter is indeed a hot girl."

"Hey, Li Ling, haven't you got the small notes or something from her?"

"Is it that legendary note? Is Li Ling already such an important person?"

"Okay, go and change your clothes. You will look good later." Paul Bento showed a mysterious smile on his face, urging Li Ling to change his training clothes.

Because there was a game yesterday, the main players who appeared today had a half-day vacation, and those who came to the training base in the morning were all substitutes. After all, the new season has just begun and has been resting for a summer. In order to make the players nervous, even if the training volume is not large, the training cannot be stopped immediately.

When Li Ling changed her clothes and walked out, she found that Paul Bento and a group of substitutes had already set their sights on him, as if he wanted to target him.

"Coach, is this?" Li Ling instinctively felt something was wrong.

"Since you boy showed your talent in heading, then as the head coach, it is necessary for me to help you practice this skill well." Paul Bento signaled Li Ling to stand at the designated position.

"Coach, isn't it? I'm not lazy when I usually heading." Li Ling made a bitter face.

"I know, but that's not enough." Paul Bentoyangyang said the newspaper in his hand. "Li Ling, don't you want the bold words you made to be easily broken, right?"

"Uh..." Li Ling was speechless for a moment.

"In training last season, I observed that your heading level is average and not enough to be used as a conventional offensive weapon, but yesterday's game made me feel like you were enlightened, so I want to practice for you specifically. Head the ball and make this technology your regular weapon.”

Li Ling was shocked: "Coach, he won't find anything, right?"

However, Paul Bento continued to speak to the team members around him.

"At your age, as long as you have too much contact with football, you can't say you will have a flash of inspiration, which will make your skills significantly improve. Seeing that Li Ling did not have the header against Porto team, this is Li Ling's diligent and hardworking You all know that his heading level was average in the past."

"But what is different about Li Ling from you? It's just that training in the morning is one hour earlier than you, and practice for another 2 hours after the training."

"As long as you practice a lot, you feel like you are. Maybe you can be as enlightened as Li Ling. With a skill, it is not impossible to squeeze into the starting lineup."

Paul Bento turned around and said to Li Ling earnestly: "I know your talent is limitless, but no matter how good your talent is, it requires the right soil to grow. I am very happy that you can stay for another season, just like As I said before, I will do my best to help you grow.”

"Coach, you're so biased." Some players started to cheer.

"When will we have a special training?"

Paul Bento smiled and said, "No problem, as long as you can beat the main players you match and start firmly, I will arrange it for you."

"Okay! One word is certain!" The substitutes are now very motivated by Paul Bento.

During the next training, Li Ling was in a state of pain and happiness.

Because Paul Bento really trains Li Ling's heading skills according to the method of training geniuses, that is, simulates actual combat confrontation, allowing Li Ling to compete with the central defender of the substitute lineup to head. Not only did there be a header shot from behind, but there were also a header shot from standing against each other, heading the ball while swaying the ball, and all kinds of small movements like pulling the jersey were pulled, allowing Li Ling to experience the center level firmly confrontation.

It's indeed different from my usual heading training.

Even though Li Ling has already added physical fitness to the upper limit that humans can reach through the system, during this frequent and fierce confrontation, Li Ling still felt a little tired and could hold on to it, but the mental consumption is indeed too great.. Li Ling needs to judge the landing point of the flying football, and at the same time he has to get in touch with the defender, fight closely, and deal with various small moves.

This is not the end. Even if you get stuck in the position and successfully take off, you will attack the near point or the far corner, whether to rub the football to the teammates behind the point or the teammates who are in the front point, these all require a judgment between lightning and flashing. of. Moreover, once the teammates pass through the ball and move too much with the ball and fail to pass the top, then all the efforts made before will be wasted in vain.

No wonder there were fewer and fewer centers who later acted as fulcrums, especially those who were able to successfully complete high-altitude ball confrontation, becoming players that each team was in urgent need.

After a period of training, Li Ling, who was sweating profusely, sat on the sidelines to rest, while the other players continued their training.

Paul Bento smiled and came to him: "How is it, isn't it easy?"

"Indeed, it's much harder than I thought." Li Ling took a deep breath, and the ups and downs in his chest were no longer so violent.

"There's no choice. For the sake of tactical diversity, you can only work hard this season. Who made you the tallest starter in the team and the highest jump?" Paul Bento patted Li Ling on the shoulder.

"The transfer window has not been closed yet. Is the team not considering introducing a center?" Li Ling's back chilled for no reason. He felt that Paul Bento was going to make a living again.

"You know, sometimes the head coach doesn't count in the transfer market." Paul Bento's voice was a little worried, "The club may not be able to buy players according to the head coach's requirements, considering revenue, operations and other aspects. .”

"And the current center Ledesson has won the Portuguese Super League Golden Boot several times before, but I can't exclude him from the main lineup. What's the name of the substitute Postigga, according to what you said, is it called? The heart of Tao is broken. He can no longer exert any strength."

"In the future games, you may need to take on the tactical role of the center position. Now practice heading first and prepare for the future."
