Chapter 206 Christmas Eve extra training and selfies
December 24.
Before Christmas Eve, Leicester City had their last training session.
Because in two days, they will face the test of the first Premier League Christmas devil schedule.
And the first opponent is Tottenham Hotspur, a North London powerhouse that has been among the BIG6 teams in recent years!
Therefore, in order to avoid injuries and loss of players during training, the team arranged some restorative training programs for the players, such as simple warm-up passing, running, etc.
After completing a one-and-a-half-hour collective training session, everyone went to the physiotherapy room to receive massages from the team’s physiotherapists to relax their muscles.
However, unlike other teammates who immediately ran to massage after finishing training, Ling Feng stayed alone on the training ground and planned to practice more.
Seeing that Ling Feng did not go with him, Mahrez stopped and asked in confusion:
“Ling, today is Christmas Eve, you still plan to practice more?”
“Yes.”
“Do you need my help?”
“No, I don’t practice stopping the ball or long shots.”
This aroused Mahrez’s curiosity:
“Then what do you practice?”
“Practice dribbling!”
Yes!
Today he did not plan to practice long shots or stopping the ball, but to experiment with Kaka’s exclusive skill that he had just obtained – [Horse Stepping on Meteors]
Kaka, as the strongest person before Messi and Ronaldo, once defined the pinnacle of an era.
The most iconic feature of this eternal prince of San Siro, in addition to the celebration action of pointing his hands to the sky after scoring a goal, is the posture of holding his head high and dribbling with big strides!
Of course, in his previous life, he had also seen Kaka’s famous scene of dribbling past Messi in an international friendly match.
At that time, Kaka had just come on as a substitute, and Messi had played for more than 60 minutes.
The physical fitness of the two is not equal at all.
However, even under the premise of equal physical fitness, Messi can’t catch up with Kaka.
Because Messi has never been a fast horse known for his speed.
His speed has never been the speed of running without the ball, but the frequency of his feet when dribbling the ball!
Of course, in terms of the ability to combine man and ball, Kaka is definitely a historical level.
Therefore, the famous scene that Messi can’t catch up with Kaka, although it looks surprising.
But, in fact, it is very reasonable.
When he heard Ling Feng’s answer, Mahrez’s face was stunned:
“Dribble?”
“That’s right! I’ve been studying Kaka’s dribbling posture recently, and I always feel that I can do it. So I want to try it.”
Mahrez has long been accustomed to Ling Feng’s own operation of thinking about how to make himself stronger.
In his opinion, Ling Feng is like a sponge that will never be satisfied.
He will take the initiative to jump into the ocean of knowledge, absorb the knowledge about football again and again, and then find ways to turn it into his own things!
Before, it was stopping the ball, then long shots, and now dribbling the ball. This young man has been learning and improving!
“Oh, you really don’t need me to cooperate with you?”
“I will practice alone first, and I will tell you if I really need it.”
Seeing Ling Feng’s firm attitude, Mahrez did not continue to insist, “Okay, you know where to find me”
After that, he turned around and left.
After the other teammates left, Ling Feng, who had the training ground alone, began his own experiment:
He first placed three or four yellow mannequin walls irregularly on half of the court to simulate the defensive scene of the opponent blocking the advancing route.
Then, he dribbled the ball on the center circle line, trying to pass these standing defenders as quickly as possible.
Of course, at the beginning, he did not use speed to push the ball directly, but slowly dribbled the ball forward, passing the training dummy wall in front of him in the safest way.
Normally, the part of the ball that professional players touch when dribbling is the outside of the instep of their dominant foot.
Most professional players tilt their feet slightly downward and bend their toes inward to create a larger contact area to push the ball.
Because dribbling the ball in this way can keep the ball in front of them, it is easier to control and change the trajectory of the ball, and it will not be easy to go too far.
When Ling Feng dribbled the ball, he also pushed the ball with the outside of his right instep.
In the past, when he dribbled the ball forward, he mostly dribbled the ball directly with the outside of his instep, and then chased it with speed.
Now, when he dribbles the ball,
is more focused on controlling the ball within the 30-centimeter area in front of his right foot.
This requires him to find his own dribbling pace and rhythm,
So, he slowed down at the beginning and slowly found the feeling.
After repeatedly dribbling past several yellow dummies in front of him, Ling Feng clearly felt that his dribbling accuracy was higher and the ball under his feet was better controlled.
Moreover, he didn’t even have to lower his head and stare at the ball under his feet, and he could still control the ball in front of his feet steadily!
You know, his [Dribbling] attribute barely reached 70 after a long period of training.
This value is definitely not excellent.
So, this is definitely the change brought to him by Kaka’s exclusive skill [Horse Stepping on Meteor]!
However, when he began to slowly increase his dribbling speed, he began to make mistakes in dribbling.
Either he was a little too far, or the ball was too close to his feet.
Obviously, the skill [Horse Stepping on Meteor] allows him to keep a close eye on the ball under his feet while advancing slowly, and he can also dribble the ball steadily and well.
However, it was not enough for him to be like peak Kaka, who could hold his head high and control the ball accurately within the appropriate distance without looking at the ball while dribbling at high speed.
After the experiment, the experimental results were similar to Ling Feng’s conjecture.
Each player’s exclusive skill allows him to master the technical points of this skill in an instant.
However, each player’s exclusive skill needs corresponding attributes to support it in order to maximize the effect of the skill!
Although each skill does not have the so-called proficiency.
However, based on his previous experience of mastering the two skills of [Pull Back] and [Putter Master], through the increase of attributes and persistent training, the skills can be made more handy!
So, he started to practice with the ball again and again.
Half an hour
One hour.
Until the other teammates finished the physical therapy and came to the restaurant for lunch, they could still see Ling Feng practicing hard and sweating on the training ground.
Seeing this scene, they were immediately in awe.
Although they had been together day and night, they had long known Ling Feng’s diligent attitude in training.
However, until this moment, they finally understood why this black-haired young man had become an indispensable midfield core of Leicester City and the Three Lions at the age of 19.
And he shined in the Premier League, won the European Golden Boy Award, and became the best player under U21 in the world football!
And this scene in front of them is why!
. . .
Finally, after an hour and a half, Ling Feng reluctantly ended this extra training under the “scolding” of head coach Pearson
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Ling Feng drove his black Land Rover back to his parents’ home.
Perhaps because he moved out, or because it was Christmas Eve, there were fewer paparazzi squatting outside the house.
“Mom, Dad, I’m back!”
Christmas Eve, for Europeans and Americans who believe in Jesus, is equivalent to the Chinese New Year’s Eve.
It is an important day for family reunion and spending a good time together.
Although Ling Feng and his father do not believe in God. However, his mother Julia is a devout believer.
So when Ling Feng took out the key and pushed the door into the living room, he saw a colorfully decorated Christmas tree in the corner!
Before Ling Feng could come, his mother Julia, wearing an apron, quickly walked out of the kitchen.
Seeing Ling Feng, she immediately showed an extremely bright smile:
“Oh, my baby.”
As she spoke, she went straight up to give Ling Feng a big hug, and then kissed her baby son on the face:
“Go wash your hands first, and then come to the kitchen to help!”
“Okay!”
In England, the Christmas Eve customs of every family are similar.
It’s nothing more than the women cooking turkey dinner in the kitchen, and the men bragging and chatting in the living room.
However, Ling Feng’s family, which combines Chinese and Western cultures, is a little special.
Their habit is that the three of them get together and work together to make a sumptuous meal!
This is also the cultural heritage that Ling Feng’s father brought from China.
As the saying goes, do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing!
Lingshan taught Lingfeng since he was a child to do his own things.
You can’t rely on others for everything, you have to rely on yourself and create wealth with your own hands!
Growing up in such a family education environment, surrounded by the deep love of his parents, Lingfeng felt that even if there was no future soul of his, the original “Lingfeng” would definitely become a good person!
Soon, in the joyful cooking, the table was soon set
Full of sumptuous dishes.
Christmas Eve must-have roast turkey, homemade beef dumplings, steamed grouper, etc.
Anyway, the whole table of dishes made Ling Feng swallow his saliva several times.
So delicious~~~
Strictly speaking, this is the first time Ling Feng has spent Christmas Eve with his family after traveling through time.
After sitting down one by one, the mother prayed before the meal, and the family of three sharpened their knives and enjoyed the Christmas Eve dinner!
While eating, Julia did not forget to ask about her son’s love life:
“Xiao Feng, how is your progress with Barbara?”
“Ah? What progress?”
“Don’t play dumb, I saw you blowing her a kiss after you scored. And the newspaper covers are all reporting that she stayed overnight at your house.”
“When my son grows up, he will blow kisses to girls in front of so many people. It’s a pity that my mother has never been treated like this.”
Hearing this, Ling Feng actually smelled a strong smell of vinegar when he met his mother’s playful eyes.
Ling Shan, who was standing aside, was secretly laughing.
You are sweating all over, kid.
Although he knew that Julia was joking.
However, Ling Feng still cooperated with a flattering smile, picked up a piece of grouper belly meat with his chopsticks, and put it on the plate of his mother opposite.
He knew that his mother liked to eat fish, especially belly meat.
“How could that be?”
After saying that, he immediately stood up, came to his mother opposite, bent down and kissed Julia’s cheek.
“My dear mother, how can you doubt your son’s love for you? This is so sad.”
This kiss made Julia smile directly.
“You guy, where did you learn this trick to make women happy?”
“No wonder Barbara is so fascinated by you. By the way, when will you bring her back to have a meal together? Let her taste her mother’s cooking skills.”
At this time, Ling Shan, who had been watching silently, couldn’t help but speak up:
“Children will take care of their own affairs. You are so enthusiastic, but you will scare away other girls.”
“Yes, I will bring her back next time I have a chance.”
With the father and son singing in unison, Julia did not continue to ask.
After all, Ling Feng is an adult and has moved out to be independent.
Many things should be decided by the children themselves
After the family of three had a warm meal together, Ling Feng took the initiative to take on the “heavy responsibility” of washing dishes
After dinner, it was time to exchange Christmas gifts.
In England, the royal family has the habit of exchanging Christmas gifts on the 24th.
Therefore, many English families choose to give each other gifts on the evening of the 24th and then open the gifts.
The same is true for Ling Feng’s family.
The gift Ling Feng gave to his mother was a latest Gucci bag.
It is worth mentioning that this bag was bought by Barbara.
The gift for his father was a top-notch fishing rod worth more than ten thousand pounds!
Ling Shan is a good man who cares about his family very much.
In addition to work, his only interest is fishing!
Every holiday or rest day, he will take his wife and children out for a picnic and then go fishing.
So Ling Feng catered to his son’s preferences and chose a fishing rod.
Sure enough, they were very happy to receive the gift carefully selected by their son.
The Christmas gifts that his parents prepared for Ling Feng were a hand-knitted sweater and a pair of shin guards with Ling Feng’s head engraved on them!
Both of these things fully expressed his parents’ love for him.
As Ling Feng became a hot Premier League star, the Ling family suddenly jumped from the middle class to the rich class.
However, there are so many things that can be bought with money.
But you can never buy the deep love of your parents for yourself!
After exchanging Christmas gifts, the family of three squeezed on the sofa in the living room and planned to watch a movie together.
This is also the activity of Ling Feng’s family every Christmas Eve.
This year, they watched the most classic Christmas movie – “Love Actually”
While his parents were concentrating on watching the movie, Ling Feng took out his mobile phone and kept replying to text messages.
There was no way. As he became famous in the English football world, he met more and more people in the industry and friends.
Since early in the morning, he has received Christmas Eve congratulations from many friends.
While Ling Feng was replying to each one, he suddenly received a text message from Barbara!
However, unlike other congratulatory messages, Barbara only sent him a photo:
The Hungarian supermodel was sitting in front of a full-length mirror with her phone in hand.
Her full-length
She was wearing only a red Christmas miniskirt with suspenders!
Along with the selfie, she also sent a provocative text:
“Does this dress look good?”
Seeing this photo, Ling Feng almost had a nosebleed, and answered without hesitation:
“It looks good!!!”
“Then I’ll wear it for you tomorrow?”
It was this sentence that made Ling toss and turn that night and couldn’t sleep
Thank you for your comfort and encouragement!
The strength gap between the teams is too big. They are all semi-professional, there are Brazilian foreign players, and even retired Chinese Super League stars.
There is no way, it is normal to lose.
Playing the main game is an experience. After college, I have never played an 11-a-side game again.
The important thing is to participate.
