Chapter 7 Sheffield Gemini

"Is Harry transferred to the first team too? I think I saw him come to train with Lee yesterday."

"It should be, but Harry is about to be promoted to the first team this season. Now that the team's record is so poor, he should get used to the first team in advance, and maybe he will play soon."

"Really? I went to see him and Lee last year. They played together in the backcourt once. God, I swear this combination is great. The team can not worry about the defense for ten years!"

"How can it be? Didn't you see Lee's performance a few days ago? He is destined to become a great center forward, maybe our Sheffield United's Alan Shearer."

"No no no, I think he's going to be the team's Zlatan, that assist is beautiful... Hey, Lee and Harry are here together, look!"

In the Harunel training base, two old club employees stopped discussing. They looked towards the gate of the base, and Li Mo and another young player of the same stature were walking over.

The old staff have worked in the club for many years, and they are very familiar with every player in the club, especially those young players who have been promoted from the youth training camp to the first team. They are very familiar with them.

Because every child at the Shelly Clive youth training base, starting from playing in the youth team, has gained loyal audiences. Apart from the elders of the players, most of them are old employees who live nearby and have worked for the club for many years.

Li Mo was no exception. He greeted the two old employees familiarly. The tall young player beside him seemed a little shy because he had only been at Sheffield United for more than a year.

"Come on, I'm still waiting to see the two of you play together in the first team, but it's a pity that Kyle is gone, otherwise..."

After the old staff finished speaking, their interest suddenly faded, and they encouraged Li Mo and another young player before continuing to work.

"Are they talking about Kyle Walker, the one who's playing at Aston Villa now?"

The tall player named Harry said to Li Mo, Li Mo nodded and said: "Yes, I was still U16 when Kyle left, and the club couldn't refuse the transfer fee. For these old fans, It's also heartbreaking for the club to let go of a talented player, but it may not last long."

Harry looked at Li Mo curiously and said, "Why?"

Li Mo hugged each other's shoulders and said with a smile, "Because we are the best young players in the club. When you play in the first team, they will completely forget about Kyle."

Harry grinned, but he didn't have the confidence of Li Mo.

Although he was also known as a talented player when he played in Barnsley before, but at that time he played as a central midfielder. After switching to Sheffield United, he changed to a central defender under the guidance of the youth training coach. It's only been a little over a year, and up to now it's only playing for the youth team. I don't know when I will be able to play for the British Championship.

But I don't know why, Li Mo seems to have always been more optimistic about him. The first time he met Li Mo was in a youth team game. In that game, Li Mo scored three goals for their team. Later, he asked him to exchange jerseys.

Because Barnsley and Sheffield United belong to South Yorkshire, the youth teams of the two teams have exchanged matches many times. Li Mo's initiative made the two get acquainted quickly. The two also made an appointment to ride a bike or participate in other sports together. Later, they added a common hobby, reading.

Both of them had very good grades in high school. Apart from participating in various sports activities and playing football, they also often study in the library. The overlapping of various hobbies made them good friends.

And in 09, after Harry joined Sheffield United's youth team, Li Mo partnered with him several times in the combination of central defenders, and the effect was very good. Soon they had the title of Sheffield United's twin stars.

One of them lags behind and the other advances. Both of them have good physical fitness, and they have a perfect understanding, which makes it difficult for the coach of the youth team to choose.

But because Li Mo had already switched to playing center for half a year at that time, and also showed more offensive talents, their defensive combination still failed to take shape.

"If I can play in the British Championship as soon as possible now, I will be very satisfied. The goal you scored a few days ago was really beautiful, and you also had that assist. I hope I can perform well after I play." Harry hoped Speaking of.

Li Mo's wonderful performance in his first show made him sincerely happy, and at the same time he was a little envious, because it was a real one-shot fame, which was reported not only in Sheffield United, but also in the whole of England.

An oriental player received youth training at a local club in England, made his debut at the age of 17, with one goal and one assist, even in the English second-tier league, it is a very eye-catching topic.

"Haven't you been training with us for the past few days? This must have been signaled by the head coach. The coach will return to the club in two days. At that time, he will definitely let you enter the squad for the next game. "

Li Mo said comfortingly to Harry, because he vaguely remembered that after Harry returned to Sheffield United in his previous life, he was already the main defender of Sheffield United a year or two later, and that was when he was in the 18 World Cup , as mentioned in an interview about Harry.

However, in the next few years, Sheffield United was relegated to League One, and there was no hope of promotion. Harry also transferred and left after staying for a few seasons.

Then there was the inspirational story, the talented defender honed himself in the small ball club, and finally was selected for the national team with his hard work, and joined the giants. After that, it was the 21-22 season. , Fired all over the football circle...

Thinking of this, Li Mo couldn't help saying to Harry: "I told you before, I want you to pay more attention to the training of body flexibility, are you doing it?"

Harry scratched his head and said puzzledly: "I have paid attention to some methods of flexibility training, but the coach didn't tell me that I need to strengthen this aspect of training. Is it really necessary to do this specifically?"

"Of course it is necessary. You see, when I played with you as a defender, every time I went out, although I was able to grab most of the ball, there were also some forwards who were flexible and tried to get rid of me, because I always paid attention to it. Exercise the flexibility of the body, so even if you are passed by, you can quickly turn around and catch up with them."

Li Mo paused when he said this, and after seeing Harry nodding thoughtfully, he continued: "Then what if my flexibility is not so good? After those forwards passed me relatively easily, I was Isn't it difficult to turn around and catch up with them?
You think, the coach does not have too high requirements on your flexibility, is it because when they choose another central defender to partner with you, they will try to choose a type with better recovery speed and flexibility, which can make up for it. Some of your deficiencies?
However, if you go to another team in the future and your partner can't make up for your shortcoming, the coaches of other teams in the league will regard your inflexibility as a breakthrough point, what should you do then? "

Harry pondered for a moment, and finally said to Li Mo: "You are right. From the point of view of the coach and the team, because the defense is a whole, my shortcomings can be made up by my partner. The strengths are fine, but from my own point of view, I have to avoid such shortcomings as much as possible, and I know what to do."

Li Mo nodded in relief when he heard the words. Sure enough, being friends with a smart person is very worry-free. As long as your opinion is for his own good, he will indeed be able to humbly accept improvement. But if this is the case, I don’t know if it will appear again in the future. Poor Marquette" JPG...

"gogogo! Let's train hard. When the time comes, we will lead Sheffield United back to the Premier League. At that time, the name of Sheffield United's twin stars will resound throughout England!"

Li Mo's words made Harry Maguire a little imaginative. Teenagers are always in the second grade. He led his hometown team Sheffield United back to the Premier League. He became famous at a young age. What a bright future.

"Unfortunately, it would be great if John played with us. He is also very strong."

"John? Oh, I remember that friend of yours, John Stones, don't I?"

Seeing Maguire nodding, Li Mo waved his hand: "Then let us play the game, and then suggest to the coach to sign your friend, and then we will surpass together. We will be the troika of Sheffield United. !"

"Fuck, I feel a little ashamed to hear you say that."

"Young man, don't be shy, can you still be called a young man if you are not arrogant? I have a more resounding nickname. You will be England's strongest defender in the future, the real guardian of the English Channel, the Empire の Kitty Hawk, Sheffield Lian's sky is clear because of you, oh oh."

Harry Maguire blushed, quickly covered Li Mo's mouth, and walked quickly to the training ground. These nicknames are too fucking shameful. The point is, he still has a little bit of agitation in his heart!Shame, shame!
