Chen Xun received the ball near the baseline and glanced up at the penalty area.

My teammates haven't caught up yet.

The Blue Team's defenders have already tracked back and blocked the cross route.

The short-haired boy also chased back from the front and pressed Chen Xun from the side and rear.

Chen Xun protected the ball, his back to the boy with the buzz cut.

He didn't dare to carry too much, wanting to pass it back to his teammates who were following behind.

However, his teammates were entangled in the Blue Team's midfield and had no way to receive the ball.

The buzz-cut boy pressed even closer, his shoulder against his back, his feet constantly poking the ball.

Chen Xun felt as if he were being butted by a bull, his body involuntarily leaning forward.

His core strength is not lacking.

After all, having trained in track and field for six years, core strength is a fundamental skill for sprinters.

But the boy with the buzz cut had significantly more experience in physical confrontations. Instead of trying to outmuscle you, he would constantly use his shoulders to push against your center of gravity while simultaneously interfering with your ball control with his feet.

Chen Xun was knocked off balance and the ball left his foot.

The boy with the buzz cut seized the opportunity and poked the ball away.

The blue team began their counterattack.

Chen Xun hurriedly chased after him, but he was too far ahead and couldn't catch up at all.

The blue team made three passes and sent the ball to the edge of the red team's penalty area.

The diminutive midfielder unleashed a powerful shot, the ball nestling into the bottom right corner of the goal.

1:0.

Blue team scores!

Chen Xun bent over, his hands supporting his knees, panting heavily.

His physical fitness is fine.

After all, he has a background in track and field, so he won't tire of running.

But the sudden feeling of powerlessness is more tormenting than the physical exhaustion.

If he had a better ball control, he could have easily cut inside and shot directly after receiving the ball on the byline.

If he were better at protecting the ball, the short-haired boy wouldn't have been able to easily steal it from him.

But unfortunately not if.

Old Xu sat in the stands, wringing his hands anxiously.

Chen Xun's speed is indeed a game-changer on the football field, but he can't keep up in other aspects either.

Li Jun stood on the sidelines, tapping his thigh repeatedly with the tactical board in his hand.

Chen Xun's speed is unmatched in the entire province, especially among U17 players.

And it's not the kind of reckless speed.

Chen Xun's off-ball movement awareness is actually quite good; he knows when to slow down and when to sprint at full speed.

The transition from defense to offense, from our own penalty area to the opponent's baseline, took less than ten seconds.

Even professional players might not be able to make such a transition between offense and defense.

But the problems are also obvious.

The basic skills are terrible!

Stopping the ball, passing, protecting the ball, dribbling—I have to practice all of these from scratch.

To be honest, it's a bit late to start practicing basic skills at seventeen.

Children who play football normally start playing with the ball at five or six years old, and their basic skills are already formed by eleven or twelve years old.

The other players are all working on their tactical awareness and specific skills.

This gap cannot be bridged simply by being faster.

But what if it could be made up for?

The thought popped into Li Jun's head, but he immediately shook his head.

too difficult.

Before the start of the third quarter, Chen Xun sat on the sidelines with his eyes closed.

The image of the bottom line kept replaying in my mind.

What if he hadn't been back-to-the-basket and shielding the ball, but instead had deliberately cut inside?

The essence of Robben's inside cut is to suddenly stop and change direction when the defender thinks you're going to cross from the byline, then cut inside with your left foot to shoot.

He was positioned near the right flank baseline when the buzz-cut boy pressed him from the side and behind.

If he suddenly cuts inside, uses his speed to shake off the buzz-cut boy, and then shoots with his left foot...

wrong!

He is not a left-footed player.

Chen Xun was stunned for a moment.

Robben is left-footed, so he can shoot directly with his left foot after cutting inside from the right wing.

But he has his right foot!

Cut inside from the right wing and shoot with your right foot; the angle is reversed!

When he watched Robben cut inside, he was always viewing it from Robben's perspective and never considered the issue of his dominant foot.

Just then, the text reappeared:

[Robben's cut-in shot is suitable for the right wing. After cutting inside, he shoots with his left foot. The host's current dominant foot is his right foot, and the skill effect will be adjusted adaptively according to the host's actual situation.]

[After cutting inside, you can use the outside of your right foot to shoot, or you can adjust to your left foot to shoot after cutting inside. During the adjustment, the shooting accuracy will temporarily decrease by 15%. It is recommended that the host strengthen the training of the left foot, or develop the shooting technique with the outside of the right foot.]

Upon seeing the displayed text, Chen Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it works!

It seems that acquiring skills is not a panacea; one also needs to have the physical fitness and corresponding techniques to keep up.

Otherwise, it's just a rootless duckweed, unable to settle down.

In the second minute of the third quarter, the Red Team received the ball at midfield.

Chen Xun suddenly cut inside from the right flank and ran towards the edge of the penalty area.

That was a very clever move.

The blue team's defenders were clearly taken aback when a right winger suddenly ran to the middle.

A quick-thinking midfielder delivered a through pass.

The ball passed through two defenders and rolled towards Chen Xun.

The pass was powerful and well-angled, and the ball wasn't fast, so it rolled right to Chen Xun's feet.

Chen Xun received the ball and glanced up at the goal.

He stood on the right edge of the penalty area, about twenty meters from the goal.

The man with the buzz cut lunged at us from the side.

Another defender from the blue team also blocked the shot from the front.

Two players, one on the left and one on the right, completely blocked the shooting angle.

The passing lanes were also cut off.

Just then!

Chen Xun's body moved.

He gently flicked the ball inward with his right foot, then suddenly shifted his weight to the left, making a feint as if he were about to break through into the middle.

As expected, the man with the buzz cut was fooled, and his center of gravity shifted towards the middle.

Chen Xun's performance in the first two quarters was too deceptive; the crew-cut man never imagined it was a feint.

In that very instant.

Chen Xun suddenly pushed the ball towards the baseline with the outside of his right foot, and his whole body squeezed through the narrow gap between the crew cut and the baseline!

His explosive power is astonishing!

Cut inside!

The man with the buzz cut changed his expression and wanted to turn around and chase after him, but his center of gravity had already shifted to the middle, and he didn't have time to turn around.

Chen Xun shook off the defense, leaving only the goal in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Xun had no time to think and his body reacted instinctively.

He didn't use his left foot, but instead used the outside of his right foot to strike the bottom side of the football hard!

boom!

A muffled thud.

The ball traced a strange outer arc, spinning from the near corner to the far corner!

The Blue Team's goalkeeper didn't expect Chen Xun to shoot with the outside of his right foot from that position. It was too late to make a save, and he could only try his best to block it.

The ball sailed past the goalkeeper's outstretched fingers and spun toward the far corner of the goal...

when!

The ball struck the inside of the far post and bounced into the goal!

1 is better than 1!

The entire room fell silent instantly.

then……

Holy crap!!!

The U15 kids on the sidelines went wild.

"What kind of ball is that???"

"That curve is so cool!"

"Robben's cut inside!"

"That's not Robben. Robben uses his left foot; this guy is using the outside of his right foot! That's Bale's move!"

"Who cares whose moves they are, as long as it looks cool!"

……

Li Jun suddenly stood up from the sidelines.

The tactical board in his hand fell to the ground.

What did he see?

A newcomer participating in a scrimmage for the first time, surrounded by two defenders, used an extremely realistic feint to shake off the defense, then cut inside and used the outside of his foot to curl the ball into the far post!

How could someone who can't even control the ball properly play like this?

Li Jun turned his head and looked at Lao Xu, who was also dumbfounded.

"Old Xu."

His voice was a little hoarse: "Your apprentice... is this really his first time playing football?"
