Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Chapter 33 Do you want to tell my senior?

The news that Li Qing signed a contract with Mendes' Gestifute company spread like wildfire, but because it was during the Spanish El Clasico, it did not become the focus of fans. After all, Li Qing is only famous in Merseyside and not in England. It is still weaker than geniuses such as Sancho, Foden, and Odoi.

There are still ten days before Christmas, and Li Qing will take a month-long vacation after finishing his last class at Lanyi Middle School. School will not start until the middle of next year.

But the holiday did not come for Li Qing, because he still has to train for a week at Kirkby Youth Academy to prepare for the National Youth Super League and FA Youth Cup 1/16 finals in the middle of next month. .

As in the past, when he arrived at the dedicated training ground for the U18 youth team of Kirkby Youth Academy early, he found that someone had arrived earlier than him.

Looking at it, the middle-aged man was wearing a Liverpool training shirt. His figure was a standard athlete's figure, and he didn't look like a teammate at all.

Could it be... Oliver Morgan, who also serves as a physical trainer?
But he soon overturned this possibility, because the middle-aged man had a crew cut, while Oliver Morgan had medium-long hair.

Then who is it?
Huh?
Why does it look so familiar?

It seems like I have seen it somewhere.

It wasn't until Li Qing walked to the edge of the court that he saw who the person was, and he froze on the spot.

Because that man is the legendary captain of Liverpool - Steven Gerrard!
The longest-serving captain in Liverpool's history, the captain with the most appearances, and the holder of the European goals record in team history.

Gerrard saw someone coming from the corner of his eye, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his right foot and kicked the falling football forward. Li Qing subconsciously stepped on the football that was rolling quickly.

"Hi, you came to the training ground so early, I guess you are Qing·Lee, right?"

Li Qing was stunned for a moment. Isn't this qing·lee his English name?
Feelings are Gerrard saying hello to himself!

"Yes Yes."

He nodded excitedly in agreement, his mood became extremely excited, and he was a little incoherent: "You...you are Steven Gerrard? Liverpool's longest-serving captain?"

"Yes, I am the Steven Gerrard you said."

There was a smile on Gerrard's face. He pointed his finger at the football at Li Qing's feet. The latter immediately understood and kicked the football back. Gerrard placed the football, took two steps back and said to Li Qing: " Li, do you think I can hit the intersection between the left goal post and the crossbar of the opposite goal?"

Li Qing did not answer immediately, but looked up and roughly estimated the distance in his mind. There was at least 80 meters between the two points. He said uncertainly: "It's so far away, so the kick shouldn't hit, right?"

"Hey~"

Gerald smiled slightly, lowered his head and started running.

"Boom~"

I saw the football soaring into the air, with obvious top-down rotation, flying to more than fifty meters and then slowly falling, and then hit the ball eighty meters away with a 'bang' in Li Qing's surprised eyes. The intersection between the left goal and the crossbar.

What the hell!

So accurate?

Is the person in front of me Gerrard or Beckham?

"how?"

Gerald looked at Li Qing proudly.

"Um...very accurate." In fact, Li Qing really wanted to say that he was confused, right? "

Gerald has rich life experience, how can he not see the far-fetchedness in Li Qing’s words?

So, he took out three footballs from the iron basket and placed them near the ball he just kicked.

"Okay."

Gerrard's casual expression became focused, and after retreating far enough, he kicked the football three meters in front of him one by one.

The landing point was as precise as the previous long pass, completely like a copy, hitting three times in a row.

"Hold the grass! You're so accurate as a T-girl!"

When Li Qing saw the third football hitting the same position, he blurted out subconsciously, his face full of shock.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Li Qing would have such a reaction. Gerrard's fans are always talking about his powerful long-range shots and his ability to participate in the offense when he plays for Liverpool. Xabi Alonso, whose national team has Beckham and Lampard, does not need to use his long passing ability at all, so many people ignore Gerrard's long passing ability.

Gerrard was very satisfied with Li Qing's reaction. He naturally put his left hand in his pocket, patted Li Qing's shoulder with his right hand, and said calmly: "You can always hit the target in a relaxed state, but it is difficult to do that in a real football match."

Li Qing looked at Gerrard's back and nodded lightly. In a real football match, every second counts, and the opponent's defensive players will never give the offensive players a bad situation to easily handle the ball.

Considering that Gerrard has an extremely accurate long-range shot, it must be that the transfer of long passes in the game is also very accurate.

Jerad looked at Li Qing with a half-smile: "Do you want to pass it on to my senior?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing's expression immediately became excited, and his eyes were starry: "Are you willing to teach me the long pass?"

"Of course!"

Gerrard took out a few more footballs from the iron basket and placed them randomly on the grass, then took a football training pole and placed it about fifty meters away.

"You kick it and show me. The target is the upright pole. No matter where it is, just hit it."

Li Qing nodded attentively, retreated to a sufficient distance, and kicked the football according to his inner thoughts.

"Boom"

The football flew into the air, and unlike the straight up and down kick from Gerrard, it had a slight arc, so that it landed slightly wrong and did not hit the pole.

"Li, there is a little problem with the footwork you use and the position where you touch the ball."

Listening to these words, Li Qing acted like a good student eager for knowledge. He stared at Gerald attentively with doubts on his face. Gerald continued with a smile: "The ball-touching position for long passes is usually the second of the big phalanx. The block comes to the ankle, right here.”

As he spoke, he squatted on the ground and pinched the inside of Li Qing's left foot with his hand.

Li Qing gave an expression like that, and Gerald stood up with his hands behind his back: "There are three long pass kicks, namely backspin long pass, forward spin long pass and side spin long pass. Your previous The long pass touched the ball a little bit, and the footwork I chose was a side spin kick that was biased towards the cross.”

If you don’t hear this, you don’t know. It turns out... there are so many ways to pass long passes!

It’s been really beneficial!
