Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 44 Coach, I like shooting.

Training ground of the youth training camp.

After the main team's scrimmage ended, Li Yanqing handed over the rest of the training to Chris, while he himself brought Cheng Mengmeng here.

"Li! Are you feeling better?"

"I thought you were still lying in the hospital."

The youth team's head coach, Rhein, quickly spotted them and came over.

"Don't worry, I'm still in great health."

"What about Li Yichuan? I want to see how he performs."

"Also, are there any promising young talents lately?"

Even if Li Yichuan performs well, he won't be able to play this season. He's just here to try his luck and see if there are any young players like Quinn or Murphy.

"Look for yourself, they're training right now."

"Geniuses like Murphy are hard to find, but we do have some outstanding players among our young team members."

Rhine shook his head, indicating no.

Even if youth training teams are like leeks, you can't harvest them several times a year, right?

As for the youth training players, they put in a lot of effort when they saw their head coach arrive.

Li Yanqing really likes to use youth training players, which is already a consensus, both within the club and among others.

He's only been with the club for less than six months, but he's already taken six people with him!

Everyone hopes to be the next lucky one.

As for Li Yichuan...

"Huh? Who taught him to play football like that?"

"You start kicking the ball long the moment you get it? At least check the situation first!"

This 15-year-old rookie, who possesses the attributes of "sudden enlightenment player" and "powerful hitter," has performed in a way that is hard to describe.

Despite being a center-back, he loves to launch long balls, and after winning the ball, he doesn't care about the surrounding situation at all, directly sending the ball back to the other side.

Li Yanqing even suspected that Rhein might not have taught him properly.

"Uh, isn't this young man your relative, Li?" Rhine asked, touching his bald head with great confusion.

"His level is completely inadequate, but he can't understand English."

"I thought you just brought him here to get him familiar with the place..."

“There are many people in China with the surname Li, like Rhine!” Li Yanqing shook his head helplessly, completely unexpected that things would develop this way.

"Just because you share the same surname doesn't mean you're related. You need to train him properly."

"The club pays him his salary! As for communication issues, you can contact Cheng Mengmeng."

"Uh." Cheng Mengmeng, who was standing to the side, was also a little embarrassed.

Since getting her work permit, she hasn't had much time to come to the youth training team.

"Li Yichuan! Come here!"

After confirming that there were no other promising talents, Li Yanqing waved his hand and called him over.

"You're a defender, and not holding onto the ball is a good habit, but why do you always have to give the ball back to the opponent?"

"Don't even mention them, even if Murphy were still in the youth team, he still couldn't catch up with your ball."

Faced with Li Yanqing's question, Li Yichuan answered somewhat awkwardly.

"I like shooting, coach."

"Even when I'm in the backfield, sometimes I can still sneak the ball in when they're not looking."

"Back in China, I always wanted to play striker, but the coach always said I was better suited to playing defense..."

Now, Li Yanqing knows how this "heavy artilleryman" was trained.

“Okay, but this isn’t China anymore. You can tell the coach again that you want to play forward.”

"Let's see how accurate your shooting is first."

Now that he knew, Li Yanqing certainly wouldn't ignore it; he still respected the player's personal wishes.

Not to mention that I brought him here myself.

First, a free kick.

You can start by using a few plastic boards to form a human wall in front of you.

Li Yichuan glanced at the location briefly, then suddenly kicked out.

This action silenced the three players on the sidelines. The opponent's free-kick technique was strange; it was definitely not something they had taught them.

The ball's trajectory was clearly off, and it slammed hard against the plastic board.

With a loud "bang!", the several-pound plastic board was sent flying several meters away by the ball.

"God, he's going against the wind!"

Rhine stared wide-eyed, somewhat unable to believe what he was seeing.

Normally, you can't tell how powerful a shot is when it's a long kick, but once you have a reference point, you immediately understand how powerful the opponent's shot is.

After kicking the ball seven or eight times in a row, not a single one hit the target, and the plastic board was almost cracked from the impact.

"Alright, next up is the penalty kick."

Li Yanqing ended his free-kick training; their plastic boards were limited and couldn't be wasted like this.

There was no goalkeeper, but Rhine ran behind the net. Whichever direction he pointed, Li Yichuan had to shoot in that direction.

The kid still shot with that weird posture, but this time he hit the target accurately.

He fired more than a dozen shots in a row, all of which hit the target precisely, and each shot was delivered with tremendous force.

"Now we know what he's good at." Li Yanqing was amazed by the opponent's penalty kick practice.

He was incredibly fierce, which reminded him of the legendary defender Roberto Carlos. For goalkeepers, the difficulty in defending against his shots was that if they didn't catch them, they would concede a goal, but if they did, they might lose their lives.

However, Li Yichuan was only accurate inside the penalty area; once outside the penalty area, he couldn't hit the target at all.

This is a fatal flaw.

"I've always had him train in defense, help defense, and those things."

"I didn't expect his shot to be so powerful?"

Rhine never expected that Li Yichuan's talent would lie in shooting.

"Let him switch to center; his height and build are suitable for a heavy center."

"You don't need to practice dribbling past people, just practice physical contact and shooting."

Li Yanqing set up a plan for him, but the specifics would have to be handled by Rhein.

Currently, among the club's forwards, Murphy is a quick and agile striker, while Ogladi could theoretically be used as a heavy center forward, but his technique is too poor, and he has no other role besides finishing and heading the ball.

We're just missing one of this type.

Once such a player's skills are fully developed, it's hard to imagine what kind of impact he would have on the opponent's penalty area.

"Cheng Mengmeng, Rhein, please leave your contact information."

"Have her relay any message to Li Yichuan directly."

"By the way, train harder. I need a qualified substitute next season!"

Li Yanqing never holds back; this is entirely true when it comes to training players.

Compared to the first team, the training environment here is simply paradise.

However, this makes it difficult for any promising talents to emerge, as it depends entirely on natural talent.

Quinn and Murphy are examples of people with great talent.

As for Sun Yan and Li Yichuan, they may have enough talent, but they are definitely not as strong as the two of them, and they have been practicing the wrong path all along.

A forward was converted into a defender.

One of the defenders is about to be converted into a forward.
