Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 145 You shoot too much!
When the international competition week ended, Valencia's international players rushed back to their clubs.

Every time at this time, the other teammates looked at them with a hint of envy.

Especially for a world champion like Mustafi, even though he only played three times in the World Cup, the total time can barely add up to 130 minutes...

But as a professional competitive player, who would not be eager to put on the jersey of the motherland and strive for the highest honor?

Despite clubs' frequent complaints about the international break schedule, a national team regular is more sought after than a fringe figure in the transfer market!
The goalkeeper of Wimbledon, Shea, was actually called up by the England national team once, but for him, he can play for a lifetime!

[I am also the former gate of the Three Lions! 】

When these international footballers return to the team, their competition status will often become the topic of conversation in the locker room, especially for professional players who are generally not well educated, this is a great opportunity to increase their knowledge.

The most prominent performance is that they will hear many countries and place names that they have never heard of before, and increase their geographical knowledge...

Especially Asia and Africa, for most Europeans, those places are simply too mysterious!
"Hey, Matthew, who is your opponent this time? Singapore or New Zealand?"

As one of the few teammates who is proficient in English, Li Poluo greeted Matthew Ryan enthusiastically.

He is Australia's No. 2015 goalkeeper, and the Australian Kangaroos, who just won the [-] Asian Cup, are considered a top-notch team in Asian football. In the first round of qualifiers, it is difficult for any opponent to hinder them.

Unexpectedly, the goalkeeper answered him with a look of frustration:

"Damn it, we were beaten 0:2 by Jordan!"

Almost all teammates have a "we are all geographic idiots" look:

"Jordan? Where is that? An island country?"

Even Li Polo, he actually has no concept of the place name Jordan.

Zakaria immediately took out his mobile phone to surf the Internet and Googled it, then stumbled and read it to other teammates in Spanish:
"The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is located in western Asia, adjacent to Israel, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, with a land area of ​​about 8.9 square kilometers and a population of about 800 million..."

"Oh shit, shut up!"

Ryan roared angrily:
"this is an accident!"

Zakaria shrugged his shoulders, but still pressed his fingers on the screen a few more times, quietly showing Li Polo a look:
"Fifa ranked 91st!"

On top of Jordan, Lee Polo also saw the 84th-ranked Chinese men's football team...

[The majestic Asian Cup champion should not be beaten twice by such a first opponent! 】

Everyone has a little sympathy for what happened to Ryan.

The defeat of the national team is just a small matter, but his being kept cold by the coach in the team is the most serious problem.

In the case of the first goalkeeper Alves' long-term serious injury, Ryan once started 7 consecutive games, but after Negredo's accident, he was also excluded from the main lineup...

Li Poluo didn't understand at all. Normally, the two of them didn't even speak the same language, so how could they be accomplices on the same ship?

Isn't it because Ryan was shot too much by Negredo in normal training, which made him fall in love with each other for a long time?
The relationship between people is really too complicated!
-
After the season was on track, the gates of the Patna training base were not closed on time, otherwise Nuno would not have been able to grasp the evidence of Li Poluo's extra training.

After the afternoon training session that day, Lee Polo stayed on the training ground as usual, preparing to practice for another half an hour.

He is not alone. Many players, including captain Parejo, Rodrigo, DePaul, Gaya, Cancelo, and Zakaria, took the initiative to stay.

Nuno's daily training volume is not too large, and the projects are not detailed or ruthless, so most players will feel that they still have more energy.

Among these players, Parejo and Rodrigo are competing for free kicks, while the two full-backs Gaya and Cancelo are competing for accuracy in passing, which can be regarded as forming a healthy competitive relationship.

And Li Poluo cooperated with his half-translator Zakaria to practice the technique of his feet together.

After all... In FIFA15 and 16, although Zakaria's current rating is not high, his highest development potential has reached an astonishing 90!It is one of the ten most promising demon stars in the game!

Such demon stars generally have excellent foot skills and ball feel, so it's right to train with them!
Nuno, who returned to the office, had a panoramic view of these players through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and said to the assistant Pedro who just came in:

"The people who stayed for extra training recently... seem to be a lot."

Pedro walked to the window and nodded slightly:

"The goalkeeper coach told me that Matthew Ryan's technical ability is still better than that of Domenech. He doesn't understand why you suddenly excluded him."

Nuno was noncommittal:

"You know, Ruy. Matthew Ryan...he was never on my list. A goalkeeper playing in Australia, I can't see that far! I gave him 7 games Chances to play, but he hasn't shown much quality over Domenech, so I might as well use a home-grown keeper."

Pedro was silent for a while, and wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by his boss:

"And... not everyone is Lee Polo, who can make me change my mind!"

Pedro exhaled:
"Well, since you insist, I'll explain it to the goalkeeper coach..."

Nuno's eyes were still on the training ground, and then he frowned slightly.

[The two players I just mentioned, why did they come together? 】
-
"Hey, Polo, Zakaria, do you want to practice more shooting?"

Matthew Ryan took the initiative to shout to Li Polo who was practicing dribbling around the triangle cone.

As a goalkeeper, if he wants to practice more, he really needs more additional conditions-such as an opponent...

This was something Li Polo could not have wished for, so he immediately stopped practicing dribbling with Zakaria, and the two of them brought a training ball with a large net bag from the sidelines.

Seeing his eagerness to try, Ryan couldn't help but gritted his teeth:

"You don't need to hold so many balls, do you?"

Li Polo shrugged his shoulders, and directed Zakaria to dump all fifty footballs at the front of the penalty area:
"It's faster, isn't it? I don't want to run dozens of meters to pick up the ball after every shot."

Ryan clapped his palms vigorously:
"OK, I accept your challenge!"

[The faster the opponent shoots, the more he can train the speed of the first reaction! 】

Before they started, they were surrounded by other teammates.

Captain Parejo also suspended the free kick competition, looked at the football all over the ground and laughed:
"Hey guy, do you want to shoot Matthew into a hornet's nest?"

Zakaria opened up on Ryan's scars again:

"After all, he has just been beaten twice by a small team ranked 91st in FIFA, and he urgently needs to regain his confidence in Lee Polo, who has the weakest shooting ability!"

Parejo and the others laughed, but Zakaria didn't realize it at all. With just one sentence, he offended both of them...

Looking at the teammates on the opposite side, Matthew Ryan kept doing nothing, gritted his teeth and said:
"Don't leave, everyone, let's shoot a few shots! Let's see who is weaker than Jordan!"

Parejo, Rodrigue, Gaya, Cancelo, and Zakaria walked up one by one, all grinning grinningly:

"Don't regret it, Matthew!"

Looking at their appearance, Li Poluo did not forget to add:
"Matthew, after they finish shooting, you still have to practice with me for half an hour!"

Ryan almost gritted his teeth!

[The extra training that I requested on my own initiative, even with tears in my eyes, will be shot! 】

……

After shooting wildly for nearly an hour, Li Polo received another message that three attributes had reached the threshold for improvement:

Shots: 26 → 27
Passing: 28 → 29
Spirit: 69→70
Overall rating: 411 → 414
Although he trained very hard and shot dozens of times more than other teammates, but... still did not receive positive comments from Matthew Ryan.

The Australian goalkeeper shook his numb hands:
"Your shooting skills...maybe really not as good as Jordan's striker!"

"Compared to your heading ability, your shooting skills are really amateur!"

"You've shot me hundreds of times, and there's been no change except for the hard volley and the low push?"

"Can't you change your position?"

Li Boluo's face darkened immediately after being criticized, and he waved to Parejo and others:

"Brothers, pass me some high-altitude balls!"

"Look at me killing this bastard without a header!"

Ryan's face was darker than his:
"You can't do this to me! I'm just criticizing in good faith!"

Li Boluo answered him with a half-smile:
"I just want to help you improve your saving skills!"

[Negative emotions from Matthew Ryan, +10! 】
