Chapter 37: Go to the first team to report

"Turn the ball on the inside of the foot twice, advance, then turn around and continue to pluck the ball on the inside of the foot twice, then pluck the ball on the outside of the foot twice, then pluck the ball on the outside of the foot twice, this kind of training can greatly increase the ball feel."

Tiger told Barrett on the training ground that Barrett had been doing this kind of training for nearly half a month. At first, Tiger was teaching Barrett how to pass the ball out as soon as possible, but later he found that Barrett's sense of ball was really bad. The bad feeling of ball control will delay the opportunity for passing the ball and have a more impact on the accuracy of the pass, so Tiger had to start teaching with basic ball control.

Tiger's sense of ball is quite good, but he has also worked hard in this training, which is related to his great interest in ball control. In the past month, the more he has trained in virtual space, the more he feels that the basic training he has done before has played a huge role.

Tiger has been very fulfilled over the past month. He has established his position in the reserve team again. He has almost every day trained and played in the virtual space, and his abilities have improved almost every day. In the training matches within the team, he can often stage a good show of scoring goals after two or three consecutive players. The reserve team is actually very close to the real professional league. Almost everyone thinks that Tiger is only a matter of time before he enters the first team. Even if he has not entered the first team yet, it can be said that the management has dereliction of duty.

However, compared with the reality, Tiger suffered repeated setbacks in that virtual space.

In the two-on-two training, Tiger failed to win even one victory in ten confrontations for three consecutive days, so he naturally lost the next chance of the game, and the game score was automatically calculated as zero points. In the second two-on-two training, Tiger and his partner Barrett only barely passed once. Then in the game, Tiger still couldn't keep up with those teammates who played in the most appropriate way, and lost again in the game, and did not get a single point in three games.

It was not until the fifth round that Tiger won a draw with the team, but lost all the next four rounds, and the reason for losing in almost every game was him. It was not until yesterday's tenth round that he finally won a victory. However, in the virtual space, Preston's points were still at the bottom - one win, one draw and nine losses in ten games, which was a very bad result in any game. What's more, this victory had nothing to do with Tiger. Lin Danda only gave him a c, but compared to the first nine rounds, all the scores below e.

Tiger no longer has any hope for winning league rewards in the virtual world. At least before he can make the most appropriate moves like his teammates, the team he is in will significantly reduce his strength.

But even if you lose, you can learn a lot - how to cooperate with your teammates and learn to get closer to them, what you learned in these failed games can be used immediately in reality, just as he was ravaged by Milton in virtual training, he can ravaged Milton in reality, and be ravaged by his opponent in virtual games, and win in reality.

This feeling makes Tiger feel very happy. No matter how much you win in virtuality, it is not very useful. What you win in reality is the most important thing.

"I haven't made any progress after practicing for more than a month. It seems that I'm really not an offensive material."

After completing a set of training, the panting Barrett said in a little frustrated.

"Don't say that. At first I didn't think I would never learn to fight. Haven't I learned it yet?" Tiger comforted his friend: "You have never trained the basics of ball control for a long time. Of course, it seems that ball control is bad. But in fact, as long as you are more skilled in passing the ball, it is enough. After all, you are a defensive player! You don't have much to do on offense. It's enough to be able to hand the ball to your teammates around you and in front of you as soon as possible after stealing. If you play more games in the future, pay attention to the forward insertion."

Barret nodded, indeed, as a pure defensive midfielder, what Barrett has to do on the court is really much simpler, stealing and seizing the opportunity to hand the ball over to his teammates, that's enough.

"Okay, Tiger, let's continue!"

"good!"

After the formal training began, Tiger and Barrett did the training as seriously as they were. Originally, Barrett was the one who trained the most seriously in the entire reserve team, but now Tiger trained more seriously than him - because he was more motivated.

Halfway through the training, David Moyes came to the reserve training ground.

His eyes fell on Tiger, who was sweating profusely, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"David, why are you back?" After seeing Moyes, Dabi greeted him and asked with a smile.

"I'm here to bring people this time." Moyes laughed.

"Tiger?" Dabi, who knew it, said that during this period, Moyes often came to the reserve team and looked at it for half an hour on the sidelines. The one who saw the most was Tiger. What's more, Tiger has performed better in training and competitions over the past month. Everyone thinks he is definitely enough to be the first team's standards.

He also saw the situation of the first team. It was similar to Moyes's judgment. Tiger's existence could help the first team's not very good offense now. Strangely, only coach Peters, the head coach, did not see this - perhaps because he had not paid attention to Tiger.

"That's right, it's him, and there's another person. Yesterday our midfielder, McDonald, was injured. We need to add another midfielder to the first team, at least as a substitute." Moyes replied.

"Then...David Milton, what do you think?" Darby said after thinking about it.

Moyes shook his head: "His defensive ability is a little worse. We don't need this type of player for the time being. After all, one of the young players who can participate in the offense is enough. What we need is a player who can honestly protect his teammates from behind... Paul Barrett is him, and his performance seems to be good during this period."

Dabi nodded silently. He also understood what Moyes didn't say. It was not a good practice for Milton and Tiger to let these two people join the reserve team at the same time. Otherwise, he would not have almost decided to give up Tiger before. Now Tiger is more important in the club's eyes, so the possibility of Milton entering the first team will be postponed.

"Tiger, Paul, come here!" Darby turned around and shouted at the field where the training ended. Tiger and Barrett saw Moyes standing on the sidelines at the same time, and then their hearts began to beating violently.

Everyone knew what this meant - these two kids were going to the first team! Then, in everyone's envious eyes, Tiger and Barrett walked to Moyes.

Moyes smiled: "You two, go to the first team training ground to report in the afternoon!"

"Okay... OK, sir." Barrett almost stuttered with excitement.

Tiger nodded vigorously.
