Chapter 47 I want to learn free kicks
On the second day of the competition, Rongguang enjoyed Sun Fengyang's massage in his rented apartment.
The TV in the room was playing highlights of Manchester City's Liverpool's game, and Rongguang was frequently violated in front of Liverpool's penalty area.
"Depora is a little worried about you, when you are constantly being overturned to the ground by the other party using various means." Sun Fengyang said to Rongguang while massaged.
"Afraid that I'm injured?" asked Rongguang, who was lying on the massage bed.
"Yeah." Sun Fengyang said as he used some force on his hand, Rong Guang hissed. "It hurts?"
Rong Guang shook his head: "It's not that pain. I'm fine. I've finished playing against Liverpool. Although I always fall to the ground, there's actually no big problem, it's just a bit of bruises."
"But it's terrifying to see." Sun Fengyang kneaded Rong Guang's ankle, which caused him to have no match for eight months to play.
"I was thinking about a question at the end of the game, Brother Sun." Rongguang said.
"What?"
"In these games, the opponent used this tactic to deal with me, which led to my number of goals being much less than before. I thought, is there any way to make the opponent use foul tactics, I can still score goals... After I saw Petrov's free kick, I was wondering, would it be better if I could also play free kicks?"
Sun Fengyang was having a massage. When he heard Rongguang say this, his hands couldn't help but stop.
This idea...
Think about it carefully, it's really feasible
Rongguang felt Sun Fengyang's hand stop, and he turned his head to look over: "What's wrong? Not good?"
"No, this idea is pretty good. Practicing free kicks can be done. You can have more scoring methods, which makes it difficult for the opponent to defend you. When they know that you can have a free kick, they may have to think about the consequences of the foul when they foul... But how do you plan to practice?" Sun Fengyang asked.
"I don't know, I'm just an idea now. I haven't thought about it so much about how to do it..." Rongguang continued to lie on the bed and asked Sun Fengyang to massage his ankles

Although the team won the ball and Mark Hughes kept the coach, it seemed that everything was getting better.
However, Petrov's mood did not improve because the team won the ball.
In fact, he is very upset now.
Because some media mentioned him in the news of Manchester City's winning, and it was not a good thing...
"...If Rong didn't have Rong's beautiful turn and volley, then Petrov's performance in this game would be a joke - Rong won him at least six opportunities for free kicks in the frontcourt, and he caught a few? None of them. The closest one to the goal hit the crossbar and was the number one free kicker in Manchester City. This performance is completely unreasonable..."
In fact, there are not many media mentioning him, but it is enough to make Petrov feel upset.
He does have a left-foot free kick skill, but for some reason, in the last game against Liverpool, he just didn't have any free kick form.
After finally getting in a state, it hit the beam and created a glorious world wave.
This made him very depressed.
After being stimulated, he decided to practice a free kick for half an hour after training.
When the game was over, Petrov stayed on the training ground and signaled everyone to practice free kicks.
No one was surprised by his decision, and everyone saw his free kick performance in the last game.
It is normal for you to practice yourself if you don’t perform well, and no one makes a fuss.
Petrov stayed on the training ground like this.
There is also glory left with him.
Everyone is even less surprised to stay. Almost every day after the training, Rongguang will stay for at least half an hour. There are many things to practice, including shooting, dribbling, volleys, or other events. Everyone is used to it. If Rongguang doesn’t practice more one day, it will make people feel strange...
Petrov was not surprised that Rong Guang stayed to practice more. He pulled a basket of football and placed it outside the penalty area, so he prepared to practice a free kick.
However, Rongguang did not practice his own event today. Seeing Petrov preparing to practice free kicks, he watched from the side.
Petrov did not notice glory at first, and he began to play free kicks according to his plan.
But after kicking two balls, he had to focus on Rongguang, because Rongguang squatted not far away from him, possessed himself and looked down at the football he placed on the turf...
"Uh, Rong..."
"Ah?" Rongguang came back to his senses and looked up at him in surprise. "What's the matter?"
"What are you doing..."
"Nothing, I just want to see how you play free kicks...hehe." Rong Guang scratched his head embarrassedly. He was just learning secretly.
"You want to learn free kicks?" Petrov immediately knew what Rongguang wanted.
"Uh, that's right."
In this case, Rongguang suddenly appeared and said that he wanted to learn free kicks. Petrov had to wonder if Rongguang was not satisfied with his performance in the game, so he decided that Yu Qian came by himself.
If Rongguang learns free kicks, then the position of the number one free kicker in his team will be out of control.
However... it is difficult for you to say "no" to the demands made by a player of such a level.
Moreover, even if Glory does not learn free kicks, Petrov's title of the top free kicker in the team is becoming less and less meaningless. Because he is not the starter, he has become a substitute, has less playing time, and often he is not the one who takes free kicks on the court.
Petrov just hesitated for a moment and nodded, "If you don't dislike my poor level, I can teach you."
Rongguang waved his hand quickly: "How could I be? Your free kick level is very good. You came on the bench the day before yesterday, and the warm-up was not very sufficient. You played a free kick when you came on the court. It would be strange if you were in good condition."
Glory explained to Petrov seriously.
Hearing Rongguang say this, Petrov's only dissatisfaction with Rongguang was gone.
"I'll teach you. But I'm a left-footed player, so I can only teach you how to play a free kick with your left foot..."
Rongguang nodded: "No problem, I can kick my left foot."
"Well, I mainly use the instep of my left foot to kick the arc ball, and use the arc ball to go around the wall, so I will do this when I kick..."
Petrovxu kicked and took his left foot to the football.
"Did you see clearly?" he asked.
"It seems that I'll try it out if I know?" Rongguang stood in front of the football, and then kicked the football according to what he had observed before, but the football flew high into the sky...
"Uh..." Rongguang was a little embarrassed.
Petrov laughed: "After touching the ball, your ankle should be opened outward, just like giving the football an initial track so that it can fly according to the route you set. This way..."
After saying that, he came here this time, he hit the football with one kick. The football bypassed the human wall prop, drew an arc in the air, and then fell into the goal.
"If you want to make the arc bigger, your ankle should be more open... For example," Petrov demonstrated another kick. This time the arc of the football in the air became more obvious, and he also bypassed the props on the wall and flew into the goal.
Petrov explained and demonstrated, giving Rong Guang the most basic skills of playing free kicks.
In fact, there is nothing to talk about in kicking football. Rong Guang has already known the same thing as playing curve balls. Some of his shots in the game are curve balls.
He just needs to practice repeatedly.
After learning from Petrov for half an hour, Rongguang could already play a free kick as decently.
But he still needs to practice hard.
"There is actually no trick to free kicks. It's just practice it repeatedly until you keep this move in mind." Petrov said as he made a kicking move and kicked the football towards the goal. "Repeat and practice it repeatedly, and your body will remember this move."
Rongguang is best at repetitive training, so when he heard that the way to train free kicks is to repeat and repeat, he seemed very happy - this is easy to do
At first, he thought there would be some special skills that were hard to learn.
Now it seems as easy as learning to shoot.
"Oh, by the way, there are actually some tricks... In training, if you don't have a wall as a reference, then you can kick the football to the four corners of the goal. These four corners are the most difficult place for the goalkeeper to save. As long as you can kick the football to the four corners and hit the goal frame, the goal rate can be said to be 100% of the four corners are theoretical blind spots."
Hearing Petrov's words, Rong Guang's eyes lit up. He turned his head and looked at the goal, moving back and forth across the four corners of the goal.
Theoretically blind spots...
Rong Guang stared at him, as if he wanted to keep the positional relationship between these four corners firmly in his mind.

After returning home, Rongguang cared about the progress of his villa's project. Debola was still a little surprised: "I remember you said that it was not good to live in such a big villa with three people..."
Glory really said that.
Although it was given to him by Mansour kindly, Rongguang always felt that this villa was too exaggerated.
How could I use so many rooms myself?
So he didn't care much about the villa that made countless people drool.
He thought it would be great to be a neighbor with Sun Hai like this. With Sun Hai's help in the past few months, he and Debola's life went very smoothly in Manchester. Sun Hai would tell him which places are convenient to shop, which restaurants taste good and the environment is good, and there are many helps in details.
The two families often have dinner together.
This kind of glory of life is pretty good.
"Yes, but the house here... has no football stadium." Rongguang said.
"What are you going to practice again?" Debola knew what he was going to do when she heard Rongguang say about the football field.
"I learned a free kick with Petrov today," said Rongguang. "He said the trick to practicing a free kick is to practice it repeatedly until the body remembers it. So I need a field where I can practice a free kick."
"Oh, I'll go tomorrow to see the progress of the project. It is said that the renovation is being carried out and it's almost finished." Debola said.
"Okay, let's move."
