Chapter 4: Boring Pole-Crossing Training

Martin Hughes is a very nice person. He kept introducing Arsenal to Lucky and familiarized himself with the team.

In fact, it is very simple to communicate with Martin Hughes. Just don't mention that person to him.

Once that person is mentioned, this guy will explode on the spot!

The two talked a lot, and Lucky also learned some of the situation in the Arsenal team.

For example, some internal conflicts, but Lucky didn't care about them. He felt that he would not be involved.

In this case, he didn't care.

After dinner, the two said goodbye to each other.

Lucky returned to the training ground to start afternoon training.

It was still a training around the pole.

Today he had to increase his speed to less than 9 seconds, and without touching the club.

Training is boring, but if you want to become stronger, you must endure this boredom.

Lucky was circling the pole over and over again, and his speed was also improving little by little.

The most obvious thing is that the control of the football has become better.

In the past, because he played as a full-back, he was unlikely to stick to the ball, so he didn't need much support from the ball sense. His task was to pass the ball to the organization point.

The game focused more on defense.

But now, he definitely needs excellent ball sense and technology to ensure his ability to hold the ball.

I have never heard of a midfielder who can't hold the ball.

Well, except for some special cases.

Lekai devoted himself to the training, feeling the increasing fit between his body and the ball.

This feeling is wonderful.

Sure enough, it is more comfortable to hold the football at your feet.

Lekai didn't know that when he was training, the Arsenal assistant coach had been staring at him on the sidelines, and his expression was still angry.

After watching for a long time, the old man left.

In the evening, Lekai stopped training. He looked at the neatly arranged clubs behind him and looked down at the time.

8.91 seconds!

A smile hung on the corner of Lekai's mouth.

Isn't the result here!

At this time, the sun was setting, and Lekai moved the equipment back, took a shower in the bathroom, and prepared to go home.

But as soon as he arrived at the door of the training base, he saw Billy's car parked on the side of the road, and smiled and shouted to Lekai: "Surprise~~~"

Hahahahahahaha!

Lekai laughed and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Billy!"

Billy also smiled; "How was the training today?"

"Very good!" Lekai shrugged.

After that, the two got in the car and prepared to return.

On the way back, Billy said; "Do you want to walk around London?"

After all, it was the first time here, he thought Lekai should want to walk around London.

But Lekai did shake his head and said; "No! My current training tasks are very heavy, and I don't have much time to waste!"

"Great!" Billy gave a thumbs up.

He likes hard-working players.

He likes hard-working Arsenal players even more!

"But you can introduce me to them." Lekai said with a smile.

Billy drove with one hand and put his other hand on the car window, and asked; "What do you want to know?"

Lucky said with some anticipation; "Where do our Arsenal fans gather? I want to go there if I have a chance!"

Billy raised his eyebrows. He was very satisfied with Lucky's name of 'our Arsenal', which meant that he had fully recognized Arsenal.

Billy smiled and said; "Haven't you heard of a saying?"

"What?"

Billy said; "Tottenham fans are in Fulham, West Ham United fans are in Cambridge, Chelsea fans are in Millwall, and Arsenal fans"

Billy said proudly; "Everywhere!"

Lucky grinned secretly.

Well, every Arsenal fan is blindly confident.

But this also shows from the side that in this city of London, Arsenal fans account for a large proportion.

According to the latest statistics, among the 9 million population of London, Arsenal fans alone account for as many as 2 million.

Accounting for a quarter of the fans in London.

To exaggerate, it can indeed be described as ubiquitous.

Of course, most Arsenal fans gather in North London.

After all, this is the main gathering place for Arsenal fans.

And in every season, the North London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal is also known as one of the hottest derbies.

However, Tottenham has gradually declined in the past, so Arsenal is somewhat disdainful of each other.

Back at Billy's house, Elena once again warmly entertained Lucky.

Elena praised Lucky's breakfast for being delicious and prepared a big meal for him.

Then she smiled and looked at Lucky with a bitter face.

Finally, she brought up the specially prepared low-fat meal.

As a fan, she naturally knew that athletes needed to manage their bodies, and she was teasing Lucky before.

Lucky also smiled happily when he saw the low-fat meal.

After the four of them performed a special "prayer" again, they began to eat dinner.

After the meal, everyone sat together and chatted again.

Billy and his wife introduced the customs and culture of Britain to Lucky, and Lucky also introduced China to them.

Billy had some yearning for China.

This was mainly due to those magical kung fu.

It seemed that every foreigner thought that Chinese people knew kung fu. After Lucky solemnly told him that there was no kung fu in China and that those were only for the needs of the movies, Billy showed a little disappointment.

Lucky couldn't bear it, and said, "Maybe you can try your luck at Shaolin Temple."

Billy was resurrected with full blood.

He made "wow, wah, wah, wah" sounds from his mouth and made some funny moves, making everyone laugh.

During the chat, the relationship gradually became closer.

Finally starting to look ahead to next season.

It would be disqualifying to not discuss football as a fan.

However, both Billy and Elena are blindly optimistic.

They feel that Cesc Fabregas' departure will not have much impact on the club.

Even, next season, they will play better.

But Lucky remembers that Arsenal will still be the top four monster next season.

No!

They moved forward a little bit and entered the Champions League in third place.

It’s just Arsenal’s Champions League!

Five years at Bayern! Three years at Barcelona!

Champions League Champions League!

This is the beginning of my career as the Premier League’s biggest stalker!

The weather was fine the next day.

Lucky was ready to continue pole training just like he had trained the day before.

Yesterday, he completed the pole training in 9 seconds.

And without touching the club.

Today, he will increase his demands and make his movements more stretched.

Just do it.

Lucky picked up the ball and started running forward, and the boring pole-circling training began again.

During the training around the pole again and again, Lucai can feel that his ball feel is getting better and better.

The movements are also becoming more and more coherent.

This pleasure made him feel happy.

After practicing for a long time, during another break, Lucai suddenly felt a gaze watching him.

Turning around to look, he found the assistant coach standing there again outside the isolation fence.

And you are more angry than yesterday?

He is shaking!

Lucky was a little confused, scratched his head, and was about to shout.

The old man suddenly turned his head and rushed into the training ground at a sprint speed of 100 meters, charging straight at Lucai.

When he was three meters away, the old man raised his palm high and slapped it hard.

Snapped! ! !

Lucky felt that his butt was swollen.

He looked at the other party with a look of horror and embarrassment.

It would be uncomfortable for anyone to have their butt suddenly assaulted by an old man.

But the next second, the old man roared at Lucai; "Use your hips! Use your hips!"

Immediately, he picked up the ball and came to the club, turned his head and glared: "See clearly, idiot!"

He spiked the ball with his left foot, and when the ball was parallel to the club, he moved the ball with his right foot. At this time, there was an obvious weight shift in his right hip.

After completing this set of actions, he turned around and roared: "Use your hips to shift your center of gravity, not your shoulders. Are you a loach? Don't shake your shoulders up and down, so that the opponent's defensive players will judge based on your shoulders." Your next change of direction.”

After saying that, he walked over and patted Lucai's crotch, saying, "Use your crotch, push your crotch out!"

Forehead

Lucky was a little confused,

But he felt that the other party was teaching him.

Putting all the shame and anger behind him, he picked up the ball and stood in front of the club, turning to look at the old man.

"Try it again!"

The old man crossed his arms and frowned, as if he was still angry.

Lucky scratched his head and immediately imitated the other party's movements slowly.

It must be said that Lucky's body coordination is very good and his movements can be understood almost at a glance.

In slow motion, he accurately imitated the opponent's movements.

"Boost!"

There was a roar from behind.

Lucky also picked up some speed.

But he found that after speeding up, his movements began to become somewhat deformed.

But he should still start circling the pole at this speed.

After the whole process, I feel really much better than before.

He turned around and looked at the old man in surprise.

The old man looked down at the timer and sneered, "10 seconds 12, a snail is faster than you!"

Lucky was unconvinced; "This is my first time!"

The old man snorted coldly, walked to the middle of the club, looked at Lucky and said: "Start now, circle the club according to the frequency of my clapping!"

"ah?"

Lucky was stunned for a moment.

The old man glared and said, "Hurry up and get ready!"

Lucky muttered and put the ball in front of the club.

The old man clapped his hands decisively.

Bang bang!

Bang bang!

Bang bang!

Bang bang!

The old man didn't clap his hands quickly, but he was very particular about it.

He claps his hands every half a second, forcing Lucky to make a quick pass.

Lucky's feet also maintained a frequency of dunking and flicking, but it has to be said that at this frequency, the entire body is in a tight state, which makes him more tired than practicing blindly.

After a full ten times, Lucky felt that his ankles were stiff and his calves began to hurt.

Lucky sat on the ground and panted.

The old man came over, squatted down, touched Lucky's legs, and muttered, "The muscles are stiff and not stretched enough. While building muscles, increase flexibility training."

After saying that, he lifted up Lucky's jersey again, checked his abdomen, nodded slightly and said: "The core is good, but not symmetrical enough."

Finally, he grabbed Lucai's shoulder again, feeling the thickness of the bone and said, "The bone is large and can bear enough muscle mass!"

After saying that, the old man stood up and said to Lucai, "Report to the equipment room at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't have breakfast. The cafeteria will prepare a special breakfast for you!"

Lucky looked at the old man blankly, a little confused.

The old man didn't care about the other party, muttering something in his mouth.

Lucky vaguely heard something like 'Arsena, bastard'
