Zhen Shaolong has always thought that he was an optimistic and cheerful person with easy-going temperament.

He doesn't hold grudges.

When you have opinions about a person, especially those around you, he will take action immediately until he feels happy.

The night before, Zhen Shaolong was lying in bed and constantly simulated the situation where violence was used to teach Irving a lesson. He felt that he should pull Patton and Smith, and the three of them gave Irving a set meal together, which was also considered to leave Irving a good memory of Newcastle United. It would be best for Irving to remember this scene many years later, remember that he once had his best teammate named Zhen Shaolong.

The day of gathering.

Zhen Shaolong came to the club early and was preparing to complete the exercise of fists and skin contact. He saw Owen far from the training ground.

Irving came earlier than everyone else.

He was squatting.

"This guy... is really working hard!" Zhen Shaolong felt that his soft heart was moved. He had to admit that Owen was a very persevering guy. He was determined to work hard, and it was useless for others to say anything.

Zhen Shaolong said to Owen several times, "I really haven't trained horse stance!"

Irving doesn't believe it.

"Otherwise... change the method!"

Zhen Shaolong felt that he was soft-hearted and bullying such a hard-working teammate, he felt a little embarrassed, "Forget it, who made me kind-hearted?"

Zhen Shaolong decided to let Owen go temporarily.

On that day, Newcastle United's public training was open for the outside world, and the decision to do public training was temporary. Because Newcastle United won the league championship in advance, but did not celebrate with the fans, they held two days of public training matches to share the joy of victory with the fans.

The training ground has also been arranged.

For example, banners are hung on the sidelines, which read "Newcastle United won the Premier League Championship in 2008-2009", and some read "Newcastle United is the League Cup champion", and some "Strive to compete for the Champions League championship". Each banner is celebrated and inspired.

The surroundings were decorated with many balloons and flowers added. Some training facilities were also specially covered with flower paper. Even the barbed wire around the training ground was simply cleaned and cared for, and the surroundings felt completely refreshed.

Before the formal training began, fans were surrounded by fans.

The fans who came here shouted the word "Champion" to celebrate Newcastle United. On the first day of training after winning the championship, the players were also excited and hoped to show their best mental outlook in front of the fans.

So everyone worked very hard.

At the beginning of the training, it was a routine running warm-up. Zhen Shaolong became more active. He ran in the middle of the team and walked forward side by side with Owen.

"You are very energetic today!"

"I'm doing this every day." Zhen Shaolong said naturally. With enough fans watching the training, the effect of "Privacy" was activated, and he became confident in his words, "By the way, Michael, are you still training horse stance?"

"Yes, you have to persist in this!" Owen said firmly.

"I'll repeat it again. I've never trained horse stance." Zhen Shaolong emphasized many times, but Irving didn't believe it at all. He didn't know Irving didn't believe it, so he continued, "You will leave, right? No matter what, we will not be teammates next season."

This topic is a bit sad.

Irving lowered his head and said nothing. He still felt strange when he thought of not being a teammate with Zhen Shaolong. There was no other guy in the team who would "definitely help win". At the same time, he also felt a little relaxed. The pressure brought by Zhen Shaolong was too great.

"All right!"

Zhen Shaolong was running and sighed, as if he was very sad about 'not teammates', and then said, "We are not teammates next season, so there will definitely be fewer opportunities to train together. Well, I will tell you how I train..."

Irving suddenly raised his head, his pace slowed down, and was soon overtaken by his teammates behind him.

Zhen Shaolong also slowed down a few steps.

The two fell to the end of the team, and Keegan frowned in the distance. He hoped to see the positive side of the team, at least in front of so many fans, to show the positive side. There was a cameraman next to him shooting. Keegan couldn't help but say, "Zhen and Michael are both too tired. You know, they ran a lot in the last game. Now they should relax when they return to training. Proper relaxation is very helpful for players to recover..."

at the same time.

Zhen Shaolong began to guide Owen, "You can't exercise horse stance. In fact, I would like to emphasize again that I have never exercised horse stance at all."

"You need to understand, your perception of football."

"Insight?"

"Yes, insight, this sounds complicated. I'll tell you in detail after a while..."

After saying that, Zhen Shaolong accelerated two steps and caught up with Gene and Viduka in front. Both guys were not running fast and were even left behind. Gene was normal. He was cunning and often lazy, while Viduka was completely unwilling to do so. Anyway, the contract with the club was about to expire, and he was about to return to Australia. He might not play in future games, so he would just deal with training and other things.

“Be more positive!”

Zhen Shaolong shouted, and rushed to the front without caring about it. After completely getting rid of Irving, he exhaled and began to think.

The reason why I didn’t directly ‘guid’ is because I didn’t think about how to guide me.

He just made a temporary decision.

The lines of ‘guidance’ must be thought about, and you must consider them for Irving. You can’t just say it casually and let Irving not believe it... No, I’m worried that Irving’s training will not work!

Zhen Shaolong thought of Wayne Rooney and Claudio Pizarro.

He almost has a concept.

After the warm-up session, the coaching team organized tactical training, followed by small-scale confrontations and some football games. Then there was half an hour of free time. Players could do their own training, or go to the side to train, or even go to interact with fans and reporters from afar, and it didn't matter if they were interviewed, after all, they had just won the league championship, so it was necessary to contact more fans and reporters.

Zhen Shaolong and Irving stood together, and he was showing his ball-handling skills.

Zhen Shaolong pulled the football to his feet, stopped for a while and kicked his legs forward immediately, and then pulled it backward, and the football still stayed on his feet.

This scene caused screams from afar.

Zhen Shaolong waved at the fans and continued to say to Irving, "Did you see it? This is the real ball-control technique. The general training method is not good. If you want to do this, you must do special training."

Irving nodded seriously.

He wants to learn!

When Zhen Shaolong found him to teach training methods, Owen didn't believe it very much, because he asked for it many times, and Zhen Shaolong directly shirked it, and even said the lie that "had never trained horse stance."

Owen was extremely sure that Zhen Shaolong had exercised horse stance.

You will know one thing: Zhen Shaolong can stand still and last for a long time, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, but Zhen Shaolong can do it easily, even in the game, and the lower plate is definitely very stable. There is also a saying that "heart is as calm as water" in horse stance training.

Now that Zhen Shaolong has truly demonstrated his skills, Owen immediately figured it out: "Maybe he is sincere, because we are no longer teammates..."

"He felt regretful and reluctant to leave? That should be the case."

Owen suddenly felt guilty, "I'm really not a good person. I actually hope not to be a teammate with him, but he taught me the most important things... so I have to learn more seriously!"

Zhen Shaolong didn't know about Irving's mental changes. He just taught "seriously". "Did you see it? This is a ball control technique. I can do it because I have had relevant exercises. Training to strengthen ball control is very simple. You have to control the ball on the feet or on the top of your head, and then stand still and don't move, keeping the football under control."

"Then... close your eyes. Yes, feel the contact between the body and the football with your heart. If you can still maintain control of the football after closing your eyes, it will be very powerful."

"This is a way to exercise ball control!"

Owen kept nodding.

Zhen Shaolong used practical methods to teach, which was much more convincing than just speaking, because he could do it easily, but Irving could not do it at all.

Zhen Shaolong continued, "Also, it is also important to exercise the sixth sense."

"The sixth sense?"

"Yes." Zhen Shaolong said, "Have you heard of it before? The human body has a sixth sense, can you notice it? In many games, I can judge the football landing point in advance, and I scored a lot of supplementary shots because of the sixth sense."

"Uh-huh."

“Just…”

Zhen Shaolong practiced his actions again and stepped on the football under his feet, "I can hit the crossbar, but in which direction do you think it will bounce?"

“…?”

"left."

After saying that, Zhen Shaolong kicked the ball towards the goal, and the football hit the crossbar and bounced to the left.

"Yes or no?"

“…”

"What I rely on is the sixth sense of judgment. You need to close your eyes and carefully find the feeling. You need to make the first reaction at the moment when the football is played. If you can judge that it is correct ten times and more than seven times, it is almost the beginning."

"I see."

Irving nodded very hard.

afternoon.

On the training ground of Newcastle United, everyone else was resting in free time, and only Irving was working hard.

He held the ball on his feet with one foot.

Close your eyes.

It lasted only two or three seconds, and he couldn't hold on to the ground and almost fell to the ground. The football naturally rolled to the ground.

"What is he doing?"

"Michael?"

"Is it the latest way to train? But what's the point!"

Zhen Shaolong looked at Owen from afar, thought deeply, and said a very philosophical sentence, "We should congratulate Michael on finding his own path..."

"Latest news!"
