Chapter 301 Green, Don't Let the Water Go!

The history of England's penalty shootout is a tragedy that makes people cry.

In the 1996 local European Cup, England beat Spain 4-2 on penalties. That was the only victory, but it also dates back 16 years ago. In that year's European Cup, their semi-final and Germany were still the same. In a penalty shootout, the game was finally lost 5-6.

Then in the 1998 World Cup in France, England fell to the quarter-finals on penalties, then in the 2004 European Cup and the 2006 World Cup in Germany, they met Portugal twice and lost in the penalty shootout, and then England. The team didn't get better on penalties, but worse: they didn't even get a penalty kick, they were beaten by their opponents, or they were eliminated from the group stage.

This kind of history also makes England always have a deep shadow in their hearts when facing penalty shootouts.

Wansheng is worried about this.

There is no need to worry about the strength of the England team. With the skill bonus of football training masters, 'shooting' can greatly increase the success rate of players' penalty kicks. Even if the skill bonus effect is good, it doesn't make any sense at all.

In the process of preparing for the quarter-finals, Wansheng can only let the team practice more penalties.

At the same time, goalkeeper training is also very important.

Joe Hart is a very quick goalkeeper, and his personal ability is still very good, but a lot of penalty kicks still depend on luck. In the real penalty shootout, it is also a problem to make a few saves. Wansheng simply put ' The effect of the national event honor halo' is placed on Joe Hart's reaction speed, allowing him to train with the 'skill effect'.

This has the benefit of allowing Joe Hart to adapt to the 'skill effect'.

Often the 'skill effect' applied to a player does not reflect a 100% effect, because the player is more adaptable to his previous ability, such as Joe Hart, he has a habit of throwing penalty kicks, that is, to make judgments in advance, and then move towards a player in advance. Jump in the direction.

This is what a lot of goalkeepers do.

The speed of the penalty kick is too fast, and when the real judgment is good, the action will not keep up.

With the 10% reaction speed bonus brought by the 'national honor halo', Joe Hart still uses the previous save method, and the skill effect cannot be reflected. He must change the method, that is, do Make accurate direction judgments, and then perform actions to save.

In the judgment process, Joe Hart does not need to judge the route of the ball. It is enough to judge the direction of the football in general. Saving a penalty kick is a question of success rate. Impossible to pounce.

Wan Sheng coached Joe Hart on how to save, and he was like a professional goalkeeper coach.

If he changed other goalkeepers, he would definitely not approve of Wan Sheng's method, but Joe Hart was different. He was a member of Wan Sheng's team in Manchester City before, and he trusted Wan Sheng very much. Wansheng asked to make a save.

In the process of training, Joe Hart quickly found himself saving more efficiently.

The goalkeeper is linked with the players. At first, Joe Hart's success rate was not high, but gradually he saved more balls, which brought a lot of pressure to the players who practiced penalty kicks.

"Joe, I never found out that you are so accurate!"

"If it really comes to a penalty shootout, you alone are enough!"

"We've got Joe and we're going to win!"

In the praise of his teammates, Joe Hart kept smiling and full of self-confidence. After training that afternoon, in front of the hotel, Joe Hart was stopped by reporters and said with great confidence, "If the game is real To the penalty kick, the victory is definitely ours. We are not afraid of the penalty shootout with Italy."

"We are here for the title, Italy is a good team, but we are not afraid of any opponent. If the game needs to be decided by a penalty shootout, I am ready!"

When asked by reporters if England were preparing for a penalty shootout with Italy, Joe Hart said, "Nobody wants to see a penalty shootout, but a lot of times the game will get to that point and I've done a lot of preparation, I did a lot of targeted training, and I also paid attention to the free throw habits of some Italian players, but maybe everyone will change all that at the last moment."

The preparations for the next day continued as normal, and in the afternoon it was still two hours of penalty kick training.

Wansheng quickly discovered a problem: it was a mistake to let Joe Hart and other players train for penalty kicks, because Joe Hart's save efficiency is relatively high, which will cause a huge blow to other players' confidence in taking penalties. .

England players are not confident enough to take a penalty kick. If the training continues like this, the confidence of the players will become even worse when it comes to the penalty shootout.

must be separated...

Wansheng decided to let the second goalkeeper Green and the third goalkeeper Rudy train with other players, while Joe Hart went to special goalkeeping training. Of course, he couldn't say that Joe Hart saved too accurately and gave other players a penalty kick. People cause psychological trauma, and the reason given is, "Joe Hart needs special training!"

Everyone reluctantly accepted this reasoning.

After changing the goalkeeper, the efficiency of other players' penalty kicks has become significantly higher.

Joe Hart can do special goalkeeper training, and Wansheng doesn't need to instruct him personally, so Wansheng and Gary Neville guide the players' penalty kick training.

"You have to use your strengths in the game."

"The same is true of penalty kicks. Play according to your own habits, don't write about others, many people pursue perspective, many people pursue strength, and play according to habit..."

Wan Sheng said it to Rooney, Welbeck and others.

The most serious of them is Rooney. He always changes the way he shoots. Sometimes he pushes into a dead corner, and sometimes he just hits a strong volley. This kind of constantly changing training will hardly have any effect, because When it comes to the game, there is only one chance to kick a penalty, and only one way to choose.

After changing the goalkeeper, the efficiency of the players' penalty kicks has become higher, but the training of the players has also become less serious. Wan Sheng looked very annoyed, and he demanded, "Training penalty kicks must be more than 80% successful. Rate!"

This is the minimum requirement.

If you can't guarantee an 80% success rate in training on weekdays, how can you play a penalty shootout in a game?

"If it really comes to a penalty shootout, whoever is more efficient in training will play!"

Next, in the training ground, Wansheng’s roar kept coming. He made requirements for each player, and the training must be carried out very strictly, but some players were still unconvinced, such as Rooney, Ashley Cole and others. In their opinion, Wansheng has no professional player experience and was not a big star. Perhaps Wansheng is more authoritative in terms of tactics and formation, but in terms of specific technical capabilities, he has no say at all.

Rooney whispered, "You're not as good as me..."

Wansheng's whole body attribute is 120, and any physical index is the limit of human beings. Rooney's whispered murmuring immediately made him annoyed, "What did you say!"

"One more word!"

Rooney instantly wilted.

Rooney was still a little surprised. He was more than 5 meters away from Wansheng. He just said something in a very low voice. How could he be heard by this Chinese? But he didn't dare to confront Wansheng face-to-face. If that happened, even the media and fans would not be on his side. At the same time, he would definitely lose his qualifications for the next game: the current England team, There is no shortage of goals for him.

Rooney didn't say anything, but Wansheng thought of a question.

In Joe Hart, he is very authoritative, because Joe Hart trusts him so much, other players are different, except Morris, Burton Wright and others, Rooney, Ashley Cole, Even Gerrard and others have a limited degree of trust in him. They respect and trust themselves, only based on their ability to lead the team to victory. In the field of football technology, he has no authority.

So Wansheng thought of a way.

"Wayne, do you think I'm wrong?"

Rooney was silent.

"Although you don't say it, that's what you think in your heart, right?"

Rooney was silent.

"Okay, since you said I'm not as good as you, let's compete! Let's see who can score more. Well... how about ten times? If you can beat me, how do you want to train in the future? , how to train! I give you enough freedom!"

Rooney raised his head, he looked left and right at his teammates, everyone looked over, and then he looked at Wansheng, the Chinese in front of him was serious, not joking at all.

Rooney hesitated, feeling a little worried.

Compared with the Chinese in front of you, take a penalty kick? It's like a joke! This Chinese is not a professional player, and he never was. He is a top student who graduated from an academy. He may have a very flexible mind, but it has nothing to do with professional football!

This is a sure-fire contest!

But……

What do you do after you win? This Chinese must have lost face. At that time, he has offended him, completely offended. Will he not be in the starting list for the next game? What will the media say about this? What will the fans think?

Rooney looked up again and saw that kind of dismissive look!

What!

Bet!

Just to gamble!

Anyway, this Chinese has only been coaching the England team for a month. After the European Cup, he left and returned to Spain. At that time, it has nothing to do with himself.

What are you afraid of! ?

Even if you can't play in the European Cup this time, you will still have a chance in the future, so you can't hold your breath!

Rooney blushed and said loudly, "Okay! I'll compare with you!"

Immediately, many teammates cast 'advising' glances. Morris knows Wansheng best. He knows that Wansheng's shooting skills are very good. It is to persuade Rooney not to compare with Wan Sheng, for fear that Rooney loses face and others will be different. They think that Rooney and Wan Sheng compare... It's a joke!

Even if you win the head coach, there is no benefit at all!

"Rooney, be sure to show mercy!"

Many people shouted in their hearts.

————

The official test began, and the second goalkeeper, Robert Paul Green, was responsible for guarding the goal.

Green is a 32-year-old goalkeeper. In the summer of 2006, Norwich City talked to Charlton about Green's possible transfer arrangements. West Ham United also joined the fray at this time, and Norwich City agreed to Green's transfer. To West Ham United, the transfer fee has additional clauses, up to 2 million pounds.

The goalkeeper of this worth can be said to be basically not famous.

Green joined West Ham United only as the second goalkeeper. Until this year, Green played for West Ham United for 6 seasons, but he was still unable to serve as the main goalkeeper. Before the opening of the European Cup, he refused the renewal offered by West Ham United. The contract is still free.

Green's ability to be selected for the England team and join the team in the European Cup is also a good opportunity to prove himself. He is 32 years old, but the goalkeeper of this age is not too big, and it is not time to retire.

It is rumoured that Queens Park Rangers are interested in signing Green as their No. 1 goalkeeper.

How big a contract he can sign with his new club depends on whether Green can perform in the European Cup. He also hopes to represent England in the game, so he works harder in training.

Now is your chance to prove yourself!

Many players think that Green will be waterproof when saving Wansheng's shot. In Green's situation, he only wants to show Wansheng his ability, but instead, he will make the goal tougher.

Gary Neville temporarily served as the referee for Wansheng and Rooney's test ball. He placed the ball at the penalty spot and signaled Wansheng to take the first penalty first.

Wan Sheng walked to the ball.

Many players are watching the favorites, including Rooney as an 'opponent'. He watched Wansheng walk to the ball and put on a formal look, but he didn't care at all. In Rooney's opinion, even if Wansheng can play Going in is entirely by luck.

Others have a similar view.

Everyone's attention was focused on Wan Sheng, only to see Wan Sheng raised his head and glanced at the door. He didn't run at all, so he raised his right foot and stuck his foot behind the ball.

"Bang!"

After a muffled sound, the football flew towards the lower left corner of the goal.

Green didn't move.

"Got it, 1-0." Gary Neville signaled that the goal was valid, and gave Wansheng a strange look, not understanding why Wansheng could play such a good ball.

Rooney was surprised, but with a shrug, he seemed to be saying to his teammates, "This Chinese is lucky."

It's Rooney's turn.

Rooney walked to the penalty kick position, straightened the ball, glanced at Green, and also did not move on the spot, and then swiped the ball hard, and the football flew directly into the net, but Green didn't have time to make a move. The save action, but the action is a bit slow.

"The goal is valid, 1-1."

It was Wansheng's turn again.

Wan Sheng placed the ball at the penalty spot, raised his head and glanced at the goal, and then almost exactly the same as the previous action, he waved his foot and shot--

Go in!

"2 to 1!"

The same angle, the same strength, Green also did not respond.

This time Rooney was a little surprised, he shouted, "Paul, don't let the water!"
