Team Spirit

Chapter 38 Skill Upgrade, Dagger Strike
No matter what you say or what you say, don’t make fun of the Chinese national football team at this stage.

After all, this is almost the peak period of the Chinese national football team in the past 30 years.

It is normal for them to have some requirements on the funds, no... on the abilities of the selected players.

This competition went viral in the domestic music world. Ling Hua and Zeng Yi, two main creators of the non-mainstream musician band "Fa Shen Jing Band", were influenced by the melody and lyrics of Lu Kai's humming and began to write a song called "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond".

In England, this game has set off a wave of "gun-insulting craze".

Because earlier, Manchester United ended the suspense five rounds in advance and won the Premier League championship this season, completing their second consecutive Premier League championship!

And they are more than ten points ahead of second-placed Arsenal, and are likely to create the biggest championship point difference!
Arsenal lost all four major titles and suffered a complete defeat.

This is in stark contrast to the strong rise of Dartford.

Although the two are not actually comparable at all.

But cross-border studies are meaningless, and your performance mainly depends on the field you are in.

The Sun: "Winning the championship still depends on the green gun! Lu Kai mocked Arsenal's loss of the championship and improvised the Dartford team song "Moonlight on the Pond"!"

"There is no more Arsenal in the Premier League, they are only worthy of being called Dartread!"

"Man Evening News": "Sorry, from now on, I only recognize Royal VCDs as the gunman!"

The Kent Post: "La Liga has Real Madrid, England has yellow discs! Chivarofi is still here, but his goalkeeping is worse than Lukaku's!"

……

"Finally, there's a through ball!" Lu Kai breathed a sigh of relief.

The so-called through pass refers to a sharp forward pass that can create offensive opportunities very efficiently, quickly and directly.

It goes well with strikers who are good at positioning and have good speed.

As for Dartford's four forwards, except for Oliver who is not good at receiving through balls, the other three can be effectively strengthened.

[Turning with the ball] is a basic skill, but it has a wide range of uses.

Ashley Young's spinning top requires this ability.

After the center carries the opponent with his back to the basket, he often needs to turn around with the ball to create a threat.

[Rising Shot] is a reverse enhanced version of the backspin shot. After being kicked out, the football will go upwards.

This can be divided into two situations.

Generally speaking, when shooting from close range, many goalkeepers will go to the ground immediately to expand the defensive area.

Or the defender will stretch out his legs and make a flying tackle to block the shot.

If you want to increase the possibility of scoring, you have to play a half-high ball and let the ball rise early. When shooting from long distances, the ball is often very easy to fly, too high, fly into the stands, or even shoot down birds over the field, causing Ashley Young to be furious.

Therefore, when taking a long shot, commentators often use "controlled" or "not controlled" to evaluate the quality of the shot.

At this point, the effect of the [Rapid Shot] is that the first half is relatively low and flat, below the abdomen, while the second half suddenly rises, making it easier for the goalkeeper to predict the outcome and score.

But this rise in the second half still falls within the range of "suppressed".

Therefore, [Rising Shot] is a very difficult shooting technique.

a few days later.

A bus was returning to Dartford from out of town.

This is our Green Guns team bus.

There was laughter and joy in the car.

"It is said that they found a few bounty hunter players."

"There's a guy in there I've met before, he played in the sixth division."

"Ashley, you scored twice today and you're the man of the match. Are you going to treat everyone to milk tea?"

"Duff's header was crucial. It dampened the opponent's morale. Otherwise, we would have been equalized by them."

Just now, Dartford beat Metropolitan Police, who were ranked third in the league, 3-1 and rose to second place in the Kent Premier League.

In fact, a place in the promotion play-offs was booked in advance.

But everyone was happy because they were only two points away from the top of the table, Hornding.

The next round is the final round, and Dartford's opponent is Horndean.

In other words, if Dartford can beat Hornding, they will be directly promoted to the eighth-level league as the first in the Kent Premier League.

No need to participate in the brutal promotion play-offs.

Dartford has the chance of promotion in their own hands.

There is nothing more thrilling than taking control of your own destiny.

"Alright, alright, everyone, be quiet for a moment. I have a few announcements to make." Alfred coughed twice after finishing his conversation with Lu Kai. "Three days from now, London, Highbury Stadium, Kent Senior Cup final!"

oh oh oh!
The players shouted excitedly.

Alfred: "I don't need to say how important this game is, do I? This may be the only time for many of us to play at Highbury in our lifetime."

"We have only one goal, and that is to defeat our opponents and win the championship!"

"After all, we can't let our team chairman embarrass himself in front of his old friends!"

"Wenger, Bergkamp, ​​Vieira, Davor Suker, Petit, Ljungberg, Sylvinho, Adams, Keown, David Seaman... these people who only appear on TV will come to watch our games in person."

"I know what you're thinking... If Wenger takes a fancy to you, can you play for Arsenal?"

"That's a good idea, but believe me, I've worked at a club like Manchester United and I know what they value more: team spirit!"

"I don't want any of us to show off like a peacock and ignore our teammates, because that will lead to our downfall!"

After Alfred finished speaking, the bus fell silent.

But Lu Kai observed that many people did not listen, especially the strong players who joined in the second half of the season.

"In fact, we have to admit that we, playing in the ninth-tier league, can't be super football geniuses." Lu Kai stood up and spoke, attracting everyone's attention. "Barton, you are Dartford's Matthäus, all-rounder in offense and defense."

"But at Everton and Manchester City, you knew whether you were good or not, right?"

Barton shook his head. He was not outstanding in the echelon.
