Chapter 18: Aim at the far corner and hit the near corner At 8 o'clock in the evening, the teaching building was brightly lit, and countless students were in the classroom preparing for the next monthly exam. At this time, a street lamp was lit on the football field of Qingshan Middle School, illuminating a spot on the shadow of a young man danced in the light, and a football was passed back and forth between his left and right feet. "987, 988, 989..." "2998, 2999, 3000!" "call!" Jiang Yuan twisted his neck. The continuous dribbling in a small range tired not only his leg muscles but also his neck. The 3000 consecutive touches of the ball just now made Jiang Yuan keep his head down for a long time. The muscles behind his neck were particularly tense, and it was uncomfortable for him to stand up now. Fortunately, Jiang Yuan successfully completed the system's task. [The host successfully completes 3000 consecutive touches and obtains 8% of Mbappe template fragments] [You have obtained Mbappe's ability: aim at the far corner and shoot at the near corner! ] hiss! Jiang Yuan took a deep breath. Just what he lacked came to him. Jiang Yuan now had the breakthrough speed and free kick ability. What he lacked was a good shot.
As a result, the system directly gave Mbappe a special shooting skill - aim far and shoot close! Rather than saying that this is a unique way of shooting for Mbappe, it is better to say that it is a skill that often has an unexpected effect on the court. After unlocking the template, Jiang Yuan did not indulge in training. He ran back to the dormitory early and fell asleep with the football on his feet. It is true that training is a good thing, but it is equally important to have enough rest time to ensure the best condition for tomorrow's game. What's more, Jiang Yuan is still in the stage of growing up. If there is no systematic cell regeneration reward, Jiang Yuan is still unwilling to use his rest time for training. …… On the other side, school is over now and the lights in every classroom are turned off, except for the sports department office on the 2nd floor. In the small office, He Qiongshan and Luo Kang sat opposite each other. On the table was Qingshan Middle School's upcoming schedule, including some tactical notes. But the focus of the two people's discussion now is not on the upcoming schedule, they have more important things to talk about. "Xiao Luo, has anything happened to Jiang Yuan during the time I was away?" He Qiongshan put his hand on the table, extended his index finger and tapped the table continuously. "Coach He, you want to know why Jiang Yuan performed so well, right? He is our best player. There is nothing strange about it!" Compared to He Qiongshan's seriousness, Luo Kang's attitude seemed much more casual. He Qiongshan continued, "I know, but I noticed that his speed suddenly increased, especially when he started to move! And the direct free kick in the first half, when did he learn the elevator ball? How come I didn't know about it?" "To be honest, I'm not sure either. Coach He, don't think too much about it. It's a good thing that the players are getting stronger. Besides, these are all high school students. Isn't it normal for them to grow faster as they grow?" Luo Kang rubbed the red pen in his hand back and forth. "Okay, but how do you explain that elevator ball? He can't just learn to kick the elevator ball as he grows older, right?" He Qiongshan still found it a little strange. As the team's head coach, he had done a detailed technical analysis of every player of Qingshan Middle School, from the starters to the substitutes. He started to notice Jiang Yuan when Jiang Yuan took part in the entrance examination for Qingshan Middle School. They have known each other for nearly a year and a half now, but he had never heard that Jiang Yuan could take direct free kicks. "Coach He, even though the angle of that elevator ball was tricky, the speed of the ball was not very fast. If the Chongli Middle School goalkeeper's vision was not blocked by the wall of people, he would have had a good chance of saving the ball."
"My opinion is that this goal was most likely a fluke. If Jiang Yuan was practicing free kicks, there's no way we wouldn't know about it!" Hearing Luo Kang's analysis, He Qiongshan shook his head: "It's unlikely that the ball was hit by chance, as it fell so quickly!" Luo Kang smiled, lit a cigarette, and handed another to He Qiongshan: "If it's just a guess, you'll know after watching a few more games." He Qiongshan was still a little hesitant, and he still wanted to confirm as soon as possible whether Jiang Yuan could take this shot. After all, Qingshan Middle School currently had no qualified direct free kick shooter. If it was confirmed that Jiang Yuan could take the elevator ball, it would definitely bring great changes to Qingshan Middle School's tactics. "No, I'll go to his dormitory and ask!" He Qiongshan said this and stood up and walked out the door. "Wait a minute, it's already past 10 o'clock and the dormitories are all closed. How are you going to get in?" Luo Kang reminded him, and He Qiongshan looked at his watch. It was 10:25, and the dormitory manager had already locked the door. "I'll climb the wall!" "..." He Qiongshan still didn't seem to give up. He really wanted to make some changes to the team's tactics tonight. "Even if you know Jiang Yuan can do this now, are you going to change your tactics during the Provincial Super League?" Luo Kang sat on the recliner and asked the most crucial question, stopping He Qiongshan before he walked out the door. Yes, it’s still during the game. What if a sudden tactical change has a bad impact on the players’ mentality? "The problem now is that even if Jiang Yuan has a kick like the elevator ball, he can't guarantee that every kick will be of the same quality as today. My suggestion is that set pieces should still be played from high altitudes, and Jin Junjie's height advantage should not be wasted!" Luo Kang spoke word by word, and finally dispelled He Qiongshan's crazy idea of climbing over the wall and breaking into Jiang Yuan's dormitory. "Too……" He Qiongshan took a long puff of his cigarette and said, "We're going to play against Yuning No. 2 Middle School tomorrow, I'm not worried about anything else." "It's mainly because the players from Yuning No. 2 Middle School play football too dirty. When we played against them two years ago, they injured two of our main players in the first half!" Speaking of Yuning No. 2 Middle School, a hint of ferocity flashed in He Qiongshan's eyes. The head coach of Yuning No. 2 Middle School, Gong Yulong, his so-called "iron-blooded football" has caused many teams to suffer. "You want to be on the bench?" Luo Kang saw the hesitation in He Qiongshan's tone. Protecting the main players was indeed a good decision, but it also faced a series of problems. "In Group C, we and Yuning No. 2 Middle School are competing for first and second place. If we lose to Yuning No. 2 Middle School with our substitutes, we will most likely fall to second place in the group, which will be very unfriendly to our knockout round!" He Qiongshan was right. Qingshan Middle School and Yuning No. 2 Middle School in Group C were the strongest and there was basically no possibility of losing to other teams. Therefore, the winner between Qingshan Middle School and Yuning No. 2 Middle School will most likely qualify as the first in the group. According to the knockout grouping rules, the first place in Group C will face the second place in Group D, and similarly, the second place in Group C will face the first place in Group D. If nothing unexpected happens, the first place in Group D will be Wangdao Middle School, last year's third place and one of the teams that He Qiongshan is most reluctant to meet. In order to be grouped for the knockout stage, Qingshan Middle School had a reason to win. "You can't be on the bench!"
He Qiongshan shook his head. They absolutely could not lose this game. This year's semi-finals are at Qingshan Middle School's home ground. It would be a big loss if we fail to even make it to the semi-finals. "Remember to remind me tomorrow morning to tell them to be careful when they kick you." He Qiongshan stood there, not knowing whether to ask or not to ask. …… (End of this chapter)
