Chapter 252 I want to kick Messi
For more than three weeks in the Red Country, Chen Xiaoliang really didn't practice much.
At home, you can go out for an hour for a jog in the morning at most, let alone fitness or something. If you move a little, my mother will come over and say: "Don't be too tired, take care of your body."
When you arrive in the capital and live in the State Guesthouse, you can't go out at will, you can only pedal bicycles in the hotel gym.
After all, it is a state event, if you run out and fall and get a bruise on your face, how can you receive foreign guests.
In addition, I met my good friends and teachers in Donghai without disturbing others as much as possible. They were preparing for the third year of senior high school exams, and they made an appointment to go on vacation in Europe after entering university and watched Chen Xiaoliang's game live.
All kinds of fragmented time are added together, and the total training value has increased by 18 points in the past three weeks.
Training value 20 → 38
However, there is one thing that is fully prepared for the new season, that is, muscle fatigue.
I slept, ate, and slept at home, and I was treated like a VIP at the Capital State Guesthouse, so I completely relaxed.
However, in the days that followed, Chen Xiaoliang was about to devote himself to frantic preparations for the battle.
After chatting with Mourinho, I ran to the training ground with nothing to do and wanted to do training with the ball alone.
I haven't touched the ball for several weeks, my feet are itchy!
Ok?
You can see it from a distance, but someone is already training?or two?And talking and laughing?
But because the sun was too big, the two wore sports sweaters and hats to shade them.
In an instant, an inexplicable sense of crisis surged into his heart. Which two bastards are working so hard to take away my title of self-discipline king? !
When I got closer, I realized that one of them was Sesko.
"Hey! Isn't your kid Doncic? Why did you come back so early?!"
Cesko, who was feeding another person, was overjoyed when he heard Chen Xiaoliang's voice: "Brother Liangzi! You're back too? That's great!"
Cesko came over, hugged Chen Xiaoliang, and said softly: "Brother Liangzi, this guy is so strong! His name is so long!"
When he said this, Chen Xiaoliang had a nine-point spectrum in his heart.
Nonsense, can this person be strong?But I snatched it from Naples!
Because he moved the cake of the Mafia over there, he was almost caught up halfway and almost beaten up.
But in the end, he fought back with Sesko.
Sure enough, when the man saw Chen Xiaoliang approaching, he immediately took off his hood and said with a shy expression, "Captain, it's nice to meet you."
There are no complicated courtesies between players, meeting is hugging!
Chen Xiaoliang: "Welcome to join the team!"
Afterwards, Chen Xiaoliang went for jogging and stretching to prepare for activities, while watching Cesko and Kvaratsheria continue to feed each other and shoot in various scenarios.
The pass from the bottom, the inverted triangle pass in the penalty area, the one-two pass and one pass, and Kvaratsheria is the one who passes the ball, and Cesko is the one who finishes.
After a while, Chen Xiaoliang also joined them. He asked Kvaratsheria to pass the ball to himself and asked Sesko to defend him.
Cesko went with a face of reluctance, but Chen Xiaoliang was very happy in the end.
I only heard Sesko's "Oh!" for a while, "Huh?" for a while, and "I'll go..." for a while, and was passed by the Georgian in front of him.
And Chen Xiaoliang also basically judged from the balls passed by Kwa that he is better at low flat crosses and inverted triangles, and the accuracy of long-distance high balls is not bad, but it is not his strong point.
After a few passes, the three changed positions, Chen Xiaoliang passed the ball, Kewa defended, and Sesco shot.
Well, the foot frequency is very fast, the defensive enthusiasm is also quite high, and he is very decisive when he really wants to make a foot, but the accuracy of the tackle and the grasp of reality are not enough.
But this is normal. He is a winger. Even if he participates in defense, he mainly presses and compresses space, assists in defense to cut off passing routes, and cooperates with teammates to double-team defense. One-on-one blocking is not his job.
Then the appetizers are over, and the main meal is on stage.
Changed Cesco to hold the ball, Chen Xiaoliang defended, and Kewa ran out of tactics to catch the ball and shoot.
Although he is a high center forward, Cesko acts as a fulcrum in the game and has a lot of tasks of receiving high balls and ground passes for secondary transfers.
In addition, he is not a traditional stand-up center, with a lot of room for movement and fast speed, so the ability to control the ball at his feet and excel when facing central defenders are all abilities that he must strengthen.
This kind of training is very familiar to both of them. When they practiced together in the past, they had to fight like this almost every day.
Chen Xiaoliang did not shovel, but constantly harassed Sesco with body squeezes and close-fitting small movements, and Sesco practiced how to maintain the ball, balance his body and finally choose a reasonable way in this state to handle the ball.
Outside the penalty area, Kewa passed the ball to Sesco, and then moved to the penalty area according to the tactical line.
After Sesco received the ball, Chen Xiaoliang posted it.
Cesko immediately dribbled the ball and accelerated to try to pass.
As a teammate whose tacit understanding value has been full for a long time, how could Chen Xiaoliang not know the little Jiujiu in Cesko's heart, and immediately turned around and stuck up to block it, accompanied by pulling movements with his hands.
Extra training is not a play, it has to be simulated according to the actual combat situation, except for the big move of shoveling, Chen Xiaoliang's other defensive moves are all called up.
As soon as the two bodies collided, Chen Xiaoliang was startled.
Fuck!What's the matter with this kid?
At first, he thought it was because he hadn't practiced for a while, and he was a little rusty, but after a few confrontations, he was very sure that Cesko had either gained weight, or worked hard on exertion and confrontation.
But it's more than that, this guy's rhythm has also become a little... strange.
Usually there is a smooth connection of the ball, dribbling, and smashing movements. Cesko will pause in the middle, as if the rhythm is suddenly interrupted, making Chen Xiaoliang momentarily confused whether to make a move or not.
After practicing a few rounds, he asked:
"Where did you learn this?"
Cesko smiled triumphantly: "Brother Luka taught me."
Chen Xiaoliang knew that the Luka he was talking about was Luka Doncic: "Fuck, you learned to play football with a basketball player?"
Cesco: "We practiced physical fitness together, and he also taught me a lot of rhythm changes and physical confrontation."
Interesting...
Although they are football players, sports are interoperable. Many people also watch basketball games, and even go to the beautiful country to watch the NBA live during the winter break.
As a European player, although Doncic is physically strong, he still has a relatively large gap with black players in terms of jumping and speed.
But with his superb skills, especially ingenious rhythm changes, he has killed the Quartet in the NBA.
I didn't expect to go around in a circle, but I learned it from Cesko.
Not only Chen Xiaoliang found it interesting, but Kwa, who was waiting to play the ball, also found this rhythm change very interesting.
Then it was Kewa's turn to dribble, Chen Xiaoliang defended, and Sesco shot.
Kvaratsheria, who was born on February 2001, 2, is only 12 years old, but among the three, he is the oldest, the least paid, and the least famous.
Although the contract will not officially start until July 7st a few days later, he still cherishes the opportunity to join Roma to participate in the five major leagues, so he flew over early to meet Mourinho first and then Familiar with all aspects of the club.
Chen Xiaoliang's name is like thunder to him, especially in the honor room of the club, when he saw the photo of Chen Xiaoliang winning three cups on behalf of the team a month ago, he admired him from head to toe.
Now that he has the opportunity to compete head-on with the steals and interception kings of the five major leagues, Gewa is fully focused and uses all his abilities.
And Chen Xiaoliang also wanted to see with his own eyes the level of this Georgian player who came to the team because of his recommendation.
Although he made Cesco an idiot just now, Cesco is a forward after all. Even in the personal training schedule arranged for him by the team, one-on-one defensive exercises only accounted for a very small proportion.
Sesco passed the ball, and Kewa started to catch the ball. With his right foot, he took the ball very fast, but his stride was very small, and he ran towards Chen Xiaoliang step by step.
Chen Xiaoliang retreated sideways to meet Kwa. He didn't know Kwa's playing habits, so he had to judge the opponent's intention first.
Suddenly, Kewa changed direction to dribble to the right, and Chen Xiaoliang, who had turned to the left, immediately blocked him.
Just as Chen Xiaoliang's center of gravity was shifting, Kewa slammed his right foot, immediately turned the ball back and moved to the left.
Chen Xiaoliang turned around in an instant, and stepped back to the right to block Kewa.
Unexpectedly, Kwa smashed the ball with his left foot again, and then changed direction to the right!
"sure!"
Chen Xiaoliang couldn't help shouting, and he was even more indescribably happy, like a lonely martial arts master who met someone who could compete with him.
In the entire Roma team, there is no second person who can make such a coquettish and smooth ball control, and repeatedly change directions while dribbling the ball!
Cesko, who was watching from the side, was also dumbfounded, thinking that when Kwa passed him just now, he didn't use his full strength!
Chen Xiaoliang also found that even if he was very close, he couldn't see the predictive figure that he could see when defending most people in the past.
This shows that Kewa's ball-handling ability and ball-handling skills far surpass Chen Xiaoliang's man-marking attributes!
After another change of direction, Kewa threw away half of Chen Xiaoliang's body space, and rushed forward at full speed towards the penalty area.
However, after running less than 5 meters, when he saw that he was about to rush into the penalty area, Kewa was surprised to find that Chen Xiaoliang had caught up with him, and then his center of gravity shifted due to physical confrontation, causing his feet to maintain balance Adjusted a step.
It was because of this step that he let his foot leave the ball, and Chen Xiaoliang immediately stretched out his legs to destroy the ball.
Kwa was shocked.
This is not watching a video across the screen, but a real personal confrontation.
The confrontation ability Chen Xiaoliang showed in the defense just now made him unbelievable that this is a player who has just turned 18 years old, especially this kind of confrontation is not a blindly violent collision, but is aimed at destroying his own body. Balance and ball control rhythm come.
Moreover, he had clearly passed him just now, but was chased back immediately, which was something he had never encountered in the Georgian league.
In the end, it was the destruction kick. It was the same as when watching Rome games in the past. The kick was as fast as lightning, accurate and ruthless.
In just one round, Kwa understood why the Red Country man in front of him could be appointed captain by Mourinho.
"Come again."
Chen Xiaoliang couldn't finish it, and the three of them started over again.
In the confrontation again and again, Kewa constantly improved his speed of changing direction and tried his best to beat Chen Xiaoliang, while Chen Xiaoliang was completely immersed in dealing with Kewa's changeable dribbling without distraction.
It didn't take long for the two of them to work in full swing, sweating profusely, took off their coats, and only wore a short-sleeved sports shirt.
Cesko, who had been standing aside for a long time, proposed to take a break, and the three of them came to the restaurant and sat down to replenish water and rest.
Kewa asked humbly: "Captain, do you think my kicks are okay?"
He really has no bottom. The best game he played before was the Russian Super League. He played for Lokomotiv Moscow and Ruby Kazan, but when he was 19 years old, he had very few chances to play. Last season, he had more chances. When the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, he had to return to his hometown to participate in the Georgian League.
His club Dynamo Batumi ranks 273rd in the UEFA club rankings, and the Georgian Premier League doesn't even make it into UEFA's top 20 European league rankings.
So when Kwa heard that Rome was interested in buying him, he thought it was a call from a scammer. It wasn't until Riise appeared in front of him that he realized that he had been hit by the lottery.
When the transfer paperwork and contract were all finalized, he even lost sleep for several days because of excitement and anticipation.
"Can I be the main player in the team..."
But he still didn't have the nerve to ask this half of the sentence in the end.
Chen Xiaoliang said seriously: "Listen, brother, I will tell you responsibly."
"There are many good wide players in this league, Milan's Special Olympics and Leo, Inter Milan's Dumfries, Juventus' Chiesa, Fiorentina's Biraghi, etc."
"Each of them has different characteristics, some run fast, some are explosive, some are good at playing and cooperating, and some are particularly good at crossing, but you believe me, when it comes to relying on dribbling to pass people , I haven't seen anyone in the league do better than you."
Although Kewa was a little surprised, he was still elated when he heard what Chen Xiaoliang said.
But Chen Xiaoliang didn't stop talking.
"However, you also have your weaknesses."
Kewa immediately looked serious and listened carefully to the captain's analysis.
"You are fast in the first two steps, but your limit speed is not fast. You must have realized this yourself. A few times just now, you were able to pass me completely, but I was able to chase it back with a single effort."
"But this is not a big problem. The real game will not be one-on-one like ours. A good receiving position, active support from teammates, and decline in opponent's physical strength can all help you establish a space advantage after passing."
"And it is difficult to improve the limit speed in a short period of time, so it is enough to improve slowly. Your speed with the ball is already considered very fast."
"But physical confrontation, especially physical confrontation during high-speed running, is not your strong point, so you couldn't stop me a few times just now, and I regained your position."
"So in the next two months, I suggest you spend some time practicing physical confrontation."
"Although the overall confrontation in Serie A is not too fierce, we have the Champions League to play in the new season. Many teams in the Premier League, Bundesliga, and Ligue [-] are more fierce in confrontation. After analyzing our league, they will definitely make a decision for you. targeted arrangements."
Kewa listened carefully, then nodded repeatedly.
"There is also cooperation. Passing people on the side is just a means to create space and tear apart the defense. Our ultimate goal is to get the ball in."
"Shooting inside, changing direction and then widening the distance to shoot suddenly is what you need to focus on improving."
When Chen Xiaoliang said this, he pointed to Cesko.
"Passing the ball over the head and under the feet of this stupid big guy is also your next important task."
Cesko: "Ryoko, is it really okay for you to be like this..."
Chen Xiaoliang kneaded Kwa's shoulders a few times, just like Drogba rubbed his shoulders to relax himself in Paris.
"Crack, snap, snap"
There was a sudden round of applause in the empty and quiet restaurant.
The three of them turned their heads in the direction of the sound and stood up immediately.
It's Mourinho.
"Yes, one day the boss fires me, and our captain can directly serve as the head coach."
The three came in from the door of the restaurant facing the training ground, while Mourinho came in from the connecting passage between the restaurant and the office area.
When the three of them were training just now, he watched from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office for a while, and he was very satisfied with the one-on-one confrontation between Kewa and Chen Xiaoliang.
Seeing them entering the restaurant, he walked over after finishing his work. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the door, he heard Chen Xiaoliang giving a lecture to his new teammate, so he waited for him to finish before coming in.
He didn't come here to chat with three people, but called them to the office.
"The three of you will be the focus of the team's offense in the new season. Of course, if Dybala can come in the end, he will also be one of them."
The fallout between Dybala and Juventus has long spread throughout European football, and many reporters have also reported that he is negotiating a new contract with many clubs, including Roma, so Mourinho did not hide it, directly Speak up.
"We still have Manuel Pellegrini, Abraham and Zaniolo. I will let them join the offensive system based on you."
As Mourinho spoke, he took out a tactical board and drew on it with a marker.
"At the beginning of last season, we played relatively simple. There was not much threat on the wing, which led to poor results when we encountered the traditional top three."
"This season we have to step up the attack from the flanks. My plan is to put Dybala on the right, like you (he pointed at Kwa), playing as a winger with a reverse foot. If Dybala doesn't come, it will make Zani Olodo came on and he was also left-footed."
"In this way, not only can more attacks be made directly from the ribs to the goal, but also an attacking triangle can be formed on the left and right flanks at the same time."
"Let's have offense on the edge of the box, at the front of the box and in the box."
Having said that, Mourinho looked at Chen Xiaoliang again:
"Last season, our performance in positional warfare was not good enough. On the one hand, it was because there was no breakthrough point on the wing that could dribble the ball into the penalty area, and the overall crossing level was not enough. On the other hand, it was the impact in the penalty area. Insufficient strength."
"Sesko alone is not enough."
"So I hope that when Kova breaks through with the ball, you can respond outside the penalty area, so that whether it is a cross in front of the goal or an inverted triangle, you and Cesco can become the support point."
"And when attacking from the right, when you need to cross, you can choose to change positions with Dybala or Zaniolo, you go to the right to pass and let them attack in the penalty area."
"In situations where you need to attack the penalty area, you can go forward and directly participate in the attack, or even finish the attack."
Mourinho paused:
"Just like what Gerrard and Lampard did back then."
"I know you are very cautious. The number of active shots is very small, and most of them are outside the penalty area. You will only start to try long-range shots when the team can't break through the defense."
"But in the new season, I need you to shoot more in the penalty area, not just headers, grab points, catch triangle pushes, and even get rid of shots after you get the ball yourself."
He pointed to Cesko again, but still said to Chen Xiaoliang:
"Only when the second and third points can be attacked can Cesko fully exert his offensive power. Otherwise, there will always be several people surrounding him. He is a fulcrum in the penalty area and does dirty work. The problems in the war still cannot be solved.”
This time, he looked at Sesko:
"I want Drogba, Ibrahimovic, Kane, Milito, but I don't want Heskey."
The three nodded and thought for a while.
Chen Xiaoliang asked: "Coach, do you want me to play the midfielder?"
Mourinho's expression hesitated: "I've thought about what you said for a long time, but I haven't thought about it yet."
"Wjjnaldum and Enzo will come to the club in a few days, unless it is a big game, I will not send them both at the same time, I will let one of them go with Cristante or Matic. To ensure the ball from the backcourt."
"I have seen Wijnaldum play in the Premier League, but I don't know much about Enzo. The Argentine league is still very different from Serie A."
"If my double midfielder configuration can achieve an offensive and defensive balance, and they can also support the team's midfield defensive task, then I don't think you have any problem playing an offensive midfielder, so I can take advantage of your physical strength Arrange for the team to press high."
"Let me think about it again, because your defense is too important to the team. The midfielder can't stop it. No matter how good the central defender is, he will be overwhelmed by the attack group under the trend of modern football."
Mourinho waved his hand, indicating that this matter will be discussed later.
"I won't give the three of you too much playing time in the warm-up match. Prematurely exposing our tactical arrangements for the new season is definitely not something a smart person can do."
"Hevicha (the name of Kwa), especially you, you have to be mentally prepared. In order to succeed, you must endure loneliness."
"The time to let the whole of Italy and even the whole of Europe remember you is not in the warm-up match. Even if you are allowed to play at that time, I hope you will stop playing."
"I don't want your characteristics to be discovered by the opponent's scouts soon. Even in the first few games of the league, I will not let you play."
When Kewa heard this, although he was a little depressed, he was mentally prepared to sit on the bench for a while.
"You must be strong inside, strong enough to be a blockbuster when the opportunity comes!"
Kwa nodded.
Chen Xiaoliang looked at Mourinho and knew that he used Kwa as his secret weapon, and he would most likely play in the Champions League group stage.
It's just that it's still in the offseason, and the UEFA Champions League qualifiers haven't started yet, and it's still impossible to know who the opponents in the group stage will be.
However, he believes that the ability shown by Ekwa when he first arrived today will scare the full-backs in Serie A sooner or later.
If the speed, explosiveness and shooting are stronger, then he can become the best winger in Serie A.
But yes, if the speed goes up and the shooting goes up, isn't that Messi...
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoliang couldn't help but look forward to playing a game with Messi.
At this moment, Mourinho turned the computer screen to face the three:
"I have received invitations from two big clubs for warm-up matches, both at the end of July. There is a time conflict between the two, so I can only choose one of the two. Take a look and see who you want to play."
Oh?
The eyes of the three people lit up, and they immediately looked at the screen.
Arsenal, July 7, Emirates Stadium, London.
Paris Saint-Germain, July 7, Parc des Princes Stadium.
"Book that!"
"Walter?"
"Ok?"
The three of them exclaimed differently at the same time.
If anything in this world can come true, it's this moment!
Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself, is there even a need to think about it?
We are not those who do not have 4 to find 4!
The three of them pointed to the invitation letter from Greater Paris at the same time.
Mourinho smiled and asked knowingly, as if he had seen through the little thoughts of the three people: "What's the reason?"
Chen Xiaoliang swallowed.
Sesko's eyes lit up.
Kwa scratched his head.
Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself: I want to play one-on-one with Messi!
Cesco thought: I want to score in front of Messi!
Kwa thought to himself: I want... The coach seems to have said just now that he will not let me play, so I will just look at Messi.
"Humph!"
Looking at the three people who looked like nympho, Mourinho snorted lightly, and then turned the screen around:
"Can't tell the reason? That's Arsenal."
Chen Xiaoliang immediately jumped up from the chair: "Don't! Coach! Do you even need to ask why?!"
Mourinho: "Paris is also fine. But I have already said that you will not be allowed to play more. At that time, it will be Abraham and Pellegrini who will play against Messi, Mbappe and Neymar. , Christant and the others."
Chen Xiaoliang knew that the head coach was playing tricks on purpose, so he almost burst into tears: "Coach, can you do me a favor, we are old, can we not play like kids? Tell me, what are the conditions?"
Mourinho chuckled: "Practise all the dozen tactics I drew for you just now. If you don't practice well, don't even think about playing. Stay in Rome and watch Messi on TV!"
The three of them glanced at each other, and after a glance, they immediately stood up and walked out of the office.
Mourinho asked: "Why go?"
Without looking back, Chen Xiaoliang said loudly, "Practice!"
Mourinho looked at the backs of the three leaving and smiled slightly.
An 18-year-old, a 19-year-old, and a 21-year-old, he has even thought about how much influence these three people will have in European football in the next ten years.

(End of this chapter)
For more than three weeks in the Red Country, Chen Xiaoliang really didn't practice much.
At home, you can go out for an hour for a jog in the morning at most, let alone fitness or something. If you move a little, my mother will come over and say: "Don't be too tired, take care of your body."
When you arrive in the capital and live in the State Guesthouse, you can't go out at will, you can only pedal bicycles in the hotel gym.
After all, it is a state event, if you run out and fall and get a bruise on your face, how can you receive foreign guests.
In addition, I met my good friends and teachers in Donghai without disturbing others as much as possible. They were preparing for the third year of senior high school exams, and they made an appointment to go on vacation in Europe after entering university and watched Chen Xiaoliang's game live.
All kinds of fragmented time are added together, and the total training value has increased by 18 points in the past three weeks.
Training value 20 → 38
However, there is one thing that is fully prepared for the new season, that is, muscle fatigue.
I slept, ate, and slept at home, and I was treated like a VIP at the Capital State Guesthouse, so I completely relaxed.
However, in the days that followed, Chen Xiaoliang was about to devote himself to frantic preparations for the battle.
After chatting with Mourinho, I ran to the training ground with nothing to do and wanted to do training with the ball alone.
I haven't touched the ball for several weeks, my feet are itchy!
Ok?
You can see it from a distance, but someone is already training?or two?And talking and laughing?
But because the sun was too big, the two wore sports sweaters and hats to shade them.
In an instant, an inexplicable sense of crisis surged into his heart. Which two bastards are working so hard to take away my title of self-discipline king? !
When I got closer, I realized that one of them was Sesko.
"Hey! Isn't your kid Doncic? Why did you come back so early?!"
Cesko, who was feeding another person, was overjoyed when he heard Chen Xiaoliang's voice: "Brother Liangzi! You're back too? That's great!"
Cesko came over, hugged Chen Xiaoliang, and said softly: "Brother Liangzi, this guy is so strong! His name is so long!"
When he said this, Chen Xiaoliang had a nine-point spectrum in his heart.
Nonsense, can this person be strong?But I snatched it from Naples!
Because he moved the cake of the Mafia over there, he was almost caught up halfway and almost beaten up.
But in the end, he fought back with Sesko.
Sure enough, when the man saw Chen Xiaoliang approaching, he immediately took off his hood and said with a shy expression, "Captain, it's nice to meet you."
There are no complicated courtesies between players, meeting is hugging!
Chen Xiaoliang: "Welcome to join the team!"
Afterwards, Chen Xiaoliang went for jogging and stretching to prepare for activities, while watching Cesko and Kvaratsheria continue to feed each other and shoot in various scenarios.
The pass from the bottom, the inverted triangle pass in the penalty area, the one-two pass and one pass, and Kvaratsheria is the one who passes the ball, and Cesko is the one who finishes.
After a while, Chen Xiaoliang also joined them. He asked Kvaratsheria to pass the ball to himself and asked Sesko to defend him.
Cesko went with a face of reluctance, but Chen Xiaoliang was very happy in the end.
I only heard Sesko's "Oh!" for a while, "Huh?" for a while, and "I'll go..." for a while, and was passed by the Georgian in front of him.
And Chen Xiaoliang also basically judged from the balls passed by Kwa that he is better at low flat crosses and inverted triangles, and the accuracy of long-distance high balls is not bad, but it is not his strong point.
After a few passes, the three changed positions, Chen Xiaoliang passed the ball, Kewa defended, and Sesco shot.
Well, the foot frequency is very fast, the defensive enthusiasm is also quite high, and he is very decisive when he really wants to make a foot, but the accuracy of the tackle and the grasp of reality are not enough.
But this is normal. He is a winger. Even if he participates in defense, he mainly presses and compresses space, assists in defense to cut off passing routes, and cooperates with teammates to double-team defense. One-on-one blocking is not his job.
Then the appetizers are over, and the main meal is on stage.
Changed Cesco to hold the ball, Chen Xiaoliang defended, and Kewa ran out of tactics to catch the ball and shoot.
Although he is a high center forward, Cesko acts as a fulcrum in the game and has a lot of tasks of receiving high balls and ground passes for secondary transfers.
In addition, he is not a traditional stand-up center, with a lot of room for movement and fast speed, so the ability to control the ball at his feet and excel when facing central defenders are all abilities that he must strengthen.
This kind of training is very familiar to both of them. When they practiced together in the past, they had to fight like this almost every day.
Chen Xiaoliang did not shovel, but constantly harassed Sesco with body squeezes and close-fitting small movements, and Sesco practiced how to maintain the ball, balance his body and finally choose a reasonable way in this state to handle the ball.
Outside the penalty area, Kewa passed the ball to Sesco, and then moved to the penalty area according to the tactical line.

Cesko immediately dribbled the ball and accelerated to try to pass.
As a teammate whose tacit understanding value has been full for a long time, how could Chen Xiaoliang not know the little Jiujiu in Cesko's heart, and immediately turned around and stuck up to block it, accompanied by pulling movements with his hands.
Extra training is not a play, it has to be simulated according to the actual combat situation, except for the big move of shoveling, Chen Xiaoliang's other defensive moves are all called up.
As soon as the two bodies collided, Chen Xiaoliang was startled.
Fuck!What's the matter with this kid?
At first, he thought it was because he hadn't practiced for a while, and he was a little rusty, but after a few confrontations, he was very sure that Cesko had either gained weight, or worked hard on exertion and confrontation.
But it's more than that, this guy's rhythm has also become a little... strange.
Usually there is a smooth connection of the ball, dribbling, and smashing movements. Cesko will pause in the middle, as if the rhythm is suddenly interrupted, making Chen Xiaoliang momentarily confused whether to make a move or not.
After practicing a few rounds, he asked:
"Where did you learn this?"
Cesko smiled triumphantly: "Brother Luka taught me."
Chen Xiaoliang knew that the Luka he was talking about was Luka Doncic: "Fuck, you learned to play football with a basketball player?"
Cesco: "We practiced physical fitness together, and he also taught me a lot of rhythm changes and physical confrontation."
Interesting...
Although they are football players, sports are interoperable. Many people also watch basketball games, and even go to the beautiful country to watch the NBA live during the winter break.
As a European player, although Doncic is physically strong, he still has a relatively large gap with black players in terms of jumping and speed.
But with his superb skills, especially ingenious rhythm changes, he has killed the Quartet in the NBA.
I didn't expect to go around in a circle, but I learned it from Cesko.
Not only Chen Xiaoliang found it interesting, but Kwa, who was waiting to play the ball, also found this rhythm change very interesting.
Then it was Kewa's turn to dribble, Chen Xiaoliang defended, and Sesco shot.
Kvaratsheria, who was born on February 2001, 2, is only 12 years old, but among the three, he is the oldest, the least paid, and the least famous.
Although the contract will not officially start until July 7st a few days later, he still cherishes the opportunity to join Roma to participate in the five major leagues, so he flew over early to meet Mourinho first and then Familiar with all aspects of the club.
Chen Xiaoliang's name is like thunder to him, especially in the honor room of the club, when he saw the photo of Chen Xiaoliang winning three cups on behalf of the team a month ago, he admired him from head to toe.
Now that he has the opportunity to compete head-on with the steals and interception kings of the five major leagues, Gewa is fully focused and uses all his abilities.
And Chen Xiaoliang also wanted to see with his own eyes the level of this Georgian player who came to the team because of his recommendation.
Although he made Cesco an idiot just now, Cesco is a forward after all. Even in the personal training schedule arranged for him by the team, one-on-one defensive exercises only accounted for a very small proportion.
Sesco passed the ball, and Kewa started to catch the ball. With his right foot, he took the ball very fast, but his stride was very small, and he ran towards Chen Xiaoliang step by step.
Chen Xiaoliang retreated sideways to meet Kwa. He didn't know Kwa's playing habits, so he had to judge the opponent's intention first.
Suddenly, Kewa changed direction to dribble to the right, and Chen Xiaoliang, who had turned to the left, immediately blocked him.
Just as Chen Xiaoliang's center of gravity was shifting, Kewa slammed his right foot, immediately turned the ball back and moved to the left.
Chen Xiaoliang turned around in an instant, and stepped back to the right to block Kewa.
Unexpectedly, Kwa smashed the ball with his left foot again, and then changed direction to the right!
"sure!"
Chen Xiaoliang couldn't help shouting, and he was even more indescribably happy, like a lonely martial arts master who met someone who could compete with him.
In the entire Roma team, there is no second person who can make such a coquettish and smooth ball control, and repeatedly change directions while dribbling the ball!
Cesko, who was watching from the side, was also dumbfounded, thinking that when Kwa passed him just now, he didn't use his full strength!
Chen Xiaoliang also found that even if he was very close, he couldn't see the predictive figure that he could see when defending most people in the past.
This shows that Kewa's ball-handling ability and ball-handling skills far surpass Chen Xiaoliang's man-marking attributes!
After another change of direction, Kewa threw away half of Chen Xiaoliang's body space, and rushed forward at full speed towards the penalty area.
However, after running less than 5 meters, when he saw that he was about to rush into the penalty area, Kewa was surprised to find that Chen Xiaoliang had caught up with him, and then his center of gravity shifted due to physical confrontation, causing his feet to maintain balance Adjusted a step.
It was because of this step that he let his foot leave the ball, and Chen Xiaoliang immediately stretched out his legs to destroy the ball.
Kwa was shocked.
This is not watching a video across the screen, but a real personal confrontation.
The confrontation ability Chen Xiaoliang showed in the defense just now made him unbelievable that this is a player who has just turned 18 years old, especially this kind of confrontation is not a blindly violent collision, but is aimed at destroying his own body. Balance and ball control rhythm come.
Moreover, he had clearly passed him just now, but was chased back immediately, which was something he had never encountered in the Georgian league.
In the end, it was the destruction kick. It was the same as when watching Rome games in the past. The kick was as fast as lightning, accurate and ruthless.
In just one round, Kwa understood why the Red Country man in front of him could be appointed captain by Mourinho.
"Come again."
Chen Xiaoliang couldn't finish it, and the three of them started over again.
In the confrontation again and again, Kewa constantly improved his speed of changing direction and tried his best to beat Chen Xiaoliang, while Chen Xiaoliang was completely immersed in dealing with Kewa's changeable dribbling without distraction.
It didn't take long for the two of them to work in full swing, sweating profusely, took off their coats, and only wore a short-sleeved sports shirt.
Cesko, who had been standing aside for a long time, proposed to take a break, and the three of them came to the restaurant and sat down to replenish water and rest.
Kewa asked humbly: "Captain, do you think my kicks are okay?"
He really has no bottom. The best game he played before was the Russian Super League. He played for Lokomotiv Moscow and Ruby Kazan, but when he was 19 years old, he had very few chances to play. Last season, he had more chances. When the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, he had to return to his hometown to participate in the Georgian League.
His club Dynamo Batumi ranks 273rd in the UEFA club rankings, and the Georgian Premier League doesn't even make it into UEFA's top 20 European league rankings.
So when Kwa heard that Rome was interested in buying him, he thought it was a call from a scammer. It wasn't until Riise appeared in front of him that he realized that he had been hit by the lottery.
When the transfer paperwork and contract were all finalized, he even lost sleep for several days because of excitement and anticipation.
"Can I be the main player in the team..."
But he still didn't have the nerve to ask this half of the sentence in the end.
Chen Xiaoliang said seriously: "Listen, brother, I will tell you responsibly."
"There are many good wide players in this league, Milan's Special Olympics and Leo, Inter Milan's Dumfries, Juventus' Chiesa, Fiorentina's Biraghi, etc."
"Each of them has different characteristics, some run fast, some are explosive, some are good at playing and cooperating, and some are particularly good at crossing, but you believe me, when it comes to relying on dribbling to pass people , I haven't seen anyone in the league do better than you."
Although Kewa was a little surprised, he was still elated when he heard what Chen Xiaoliang said.
But Chen Xiaoliang didn't stop talking.
"However, you also have your weaknesses."
Kewa immediately looked serious and listened carefully to the captain's analysis.
"You are fast in the first two steps, but your limit speed is not fast. You must have realized this yourself. A few times just now, you were able to pass me completely, but I was able to chase it back with a single effort."
"But this is not a big problem. The real game will not be one-on-one like ours. A good receiving position, active support from teammates, and decline in opponent's physical strength can all help you establish a space advantage after passing."
"And it is difficult to improve the limit speed in a short period of time, so it is enough to improve slowly. Your speed with the ball is already considered very fast."
"But physical confrontation, especially physical confrontation during high-speed running, is not your strong point, so you couldn't stop me a few times just now, and I regained your position."
"So in the next two months, I suggest you spend some time practicing physical confrontation."
"Although the overall confrontation in Serie A is not too fierce, we have the Champions League to play in the new season. Many teams in the Premier League, Bundesliga, and Ligue [-] are more fierce in confrontation. After analyzing our league, they will definitely make a decision for you. targeted arrangements."
Kewa listened carefully, then nodded repeatedly.
"There is also cooperation. Passing people on the side is just a means to create space and tear apart the defense. Our ultimate goal is to get the ball in."
"Shooting inside, changing direction and then widening the distance to shoot suddenly is what you need to focus on improving."
When Chen Xiaoliang said this, he pointed to Cesko.
"Passing the ball over the head and under the feet of this stupid big guy is also your next important task."
Cesko: "Ryoko, is it really okay for you to be like this..."
Chen Xiaoliang kneaded Kwa's shoulders a few times, just like Drogba rubbed his shoulders to relax himself in Paris.
"Crack, snap, snap"
There was a sudden round of applause in the empty and quiet restaurant.
The three of them turned their heads in the direction of the sound and stood up immediately.
It's Mourinho.
"Yes, one day the boss fires me, and our captain can directly serve as the head coach."
The three came in from the door of the restaurant facing the training ground, while Mourinho came in from the connecting passage between the restaurant and the office area.
When the three of them were training just now, he watched from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office for a while, and he was very satisfied with the one-on-one confrontation between Kewa and Chen Xiaoliang.
Seeing them entering the restaurant, he walked over after finishing his work. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the door, he heard Chen Xiaoliang giving a lecture to his new teammate, so he waited for him to finish before coming in.
He didn't come here to chat with three people, but called them to the office.
"The three of you will be the focus of the team's offense in the new season. Of course, if Dybala can come in the end, he will also be one of them."
The fallout between Dybala and Juventus has long spread throughout European football, and many reporters have also reported that he is negotiating a new contract with many clubs, including Roma, so Mourinho did not hide it, directly Speak up.
"We still have Manuel Pellegrini, Abraham and Zaniolo. I will let them join the offensive system based on you."
As Mourinho spoke, he took out a tactical board and drew on it with a marker.
"At the beginning of last season, we played relatively simple. There was not much threat on the wing, which led to poor results when we encountered the traditional top three."
"This season we have to step up the attack from the flanks. My plan is to put Dybala on the right, like you (he pointed at Kwa), playing as a winger with a reverse foot. If Dybala doesn't come, it will make Zani Olodo came on and he was also left-footed."
"In this way, not only can more attacks be made directly from the ribs to the goal, but also an attacking triangle can be formed on the left and right flanks at the same time."
"Let's have offense on the edge of the box, at the front of the box and in the box."
Having said that, Mourinho looked at Chen Xiaoliang again:
"Last season, our performance in positional warfare was not good enough. On the one hand, it was because there was no breakthrough point on the wing that could dribble the ball into the penalty area, and the overall crossing level was not enough. On the other hand, it was the impact in the penalty area. Insufficient strength."
"Sesko alone is not enough."
"So I hope that when Kova breaks through with the ball, you can respond outside the penalty area, so that whether it is a cross in front of the goal or an inverted triangle, you and Cesco can become the support point."
"And when attacking from the right, when you need to cross, you can choose to change positions with Dybala or Zaniolo, you go to the right to pass and let them attack in the penalty area."
"In situations where you need to attack the penalty area, you can go forward and directly participate in the attack, or even finish the attack."
Mourinho paused:
"Just like what Gerrard and Lampard did back then."
"I know you are very cautious. The number of active shots is very small, and most of them are outside the penalty area. You will only start to try long-range shots when the team can't break through the defense."
"But in the new season, I need you to shoot more in the penalty area, not just headers, grab points, catch triangle pushes, and even get rid of shots after you get the ball yourself."
He pointed to Cesko again, but still said to Chen Xiaoliang:
"Only when the second and third points can be attacked can Cesko fully exert his offensive power. Otherwise, there will always be several people surrounding him. He is a fulcrum in the penalty area and does dirty work. The problems in the war still cannot be solved.”
This time, he looked at Sesko:
"I want Drogba, Ibrahimovic, Kane, Milito, but I don't want Heskey."
The three nodded and thought for a while.
Chen Xiaoliang asked: "Coach, do you want me to play the midfielder?"
Mourinho's expression hesitated: "I've thought about what you said for a long time, but I haven't thought about it yet."
"Wjjnaldum and Enzo will come to the club in a few days, unless it is a big game, I will not send them both at the same time, I will let one of them go with Cristante or Matic. To ensure the ball from the backcourt."
"I have seen Wijnaldum play in the Premier League, but I don't know much about Enzo. The Argentine league is still very different from Serie A."
"If my double midfielder configuration can achieve an offensive and defensive balance, and they can also support the team's midfield defensive task, then I don't think you have any problem playing an offensive midfielder, so I can take advantage of your physical strength Arrange for the team to press high."
"Let me think about it again, because your defense is too important to the team. The midfielder can't stop it. No matter how good the central defender is, he will be overwhelmed by the attack group under the trend of modern football."
Mourinho waved his hand, indicating that this matter will be discussed later.
"I won't give the three of you too much playing time in the warm-up match. Prematurely exposing our tactical arrangements for the new season is definitely not something a smart person can do."
"Hevicha (the name of Kwa), especially you, you have to be mentally prepared. In order to succeed, you must endure loneliness."
"The time to let the whole of Italy and even the whole of Europe remember you is not in the warm-up match. Even if you are allowed to play at that time, I hope you will stop playing."
"I don't want your characteristics to be discovered by the opponent's scouts soon. Even in the first few games of the league, I will not let you play."
When Kewa heard this, although he was a little depressed, he was mentally prepared to sit on the bench for a while.
"You must be strong inside, strong enough to be a blockbuster when the opportunity comes!"
Kwa nodded.
Chen Xiaoliang looked at Mourinho and knew that he used Kwa as his secret weapon, and he would most likely play in the Champions League group stage.
It's just that it's still in the offseason, and the UEFA Champions League qualifiers haven't started yet, and it's still impossible to know who the opponents in the group stage will be.
However, he believes that the ability shown by Ekwa when he first arrived today will scare the full-backs in Serie A sooner or later.
If the speed, explosiveness and shooting are stronger, then he can become the best winger in Serie A.
But yes, if the speed goes up and the shooting goes up, isn't that Messi...
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoliang couldn't help but look forward to playing a game with Messi.
At this moment, Mourinho turned the computer screen to face the three:
"I have received invitations from two big clubs for warm-up matches, both at the end of July. There is a time conflict between the two, so I can only choose one of the two. Take a look and see who you want to play."
Oh?
The eyes of the three people lit up, and they immediately looked at the screen.
Arsenal, July 7, Emirates Stadium, London.
Paris Saint-Germain, July 7, Parc des Princes Stadium.
"Book that!"
"Walter?"
"Ok?"
The three of them exclaimed differently at the same time.
If anything in this world can come true, it's this moment!
Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself, is there even a need to think about it?
We are not those who do not have 4 to find 4!
The three of them pointed to the invitation letter from Greater Paris at the same time.
Mourinho smiled and asked knowingly, as if he had seen through the little thoughts of the three people: "What's the reason?"
Chen Xiaoliang swallowed.
Sesko's eyes lit up.
Kwa scratched his head.
Chen Xiaoliang thought to himself: I want to play one-on-one with Messi!
Cesco thought: I want to score in front of Messi!
Kwa thought to himself: I want... The coach seems to have said just now that he will not let me play, so I will just look at Messi.
"Humph!"
Looking at the three people who looked like nympho, Mourinho snorted lightly, and then turned the screen around:
"Can't tell the reason? That's Arsenal."
Chen Xiaoliang immediately jumped up from the chair: "Don't! Coach! Do you even need to ask why?!"
Mourinho: "Paris is also fine. But I have already said that you will not be allowed to play more. At that time, it will be Abraham and Pellegrini who will play against Messi, Mbappe and Neymar. , Christant and the others."
Chen Xiaoliang knew that the head coach was playing tricks on purpose, so he almost burst into tears: "Coach, can you do me a favor, we are old, can we not play like kids? Tell me, what are the conditions?"
Mourinho chuckled: "Practise all the dozen tactics I drew for you just now. If you don't practice well, don't even think about playing. Stay in Rome and watch Messi on TV!"
The three of them glanced at each other, and after a glance, they immediately stood up and walked out of the office.
Mourinho asked: "Why go?"
Without looking back, Chen Xiaoliang said loudly, "Practice!"
Mourinho looked at the backs of the three leaving and smiled slightly.
An 18-year-old, a 19-year-old, and a 21-year-old, he has even thought about how much influence these three people will have in European football in the next ten years.
