Team Spirit

Chapter 15: The spinning top is also Luo, the English version of the three Yang
Lu Kai's dribbling attribute therefore surpassed his speed attribute and became his strongest individual attribute.

What the hell is gorgeous!

As one of the most groundbreaking moves in football, the Marseille turn is extremely cool.

This technical move mainly involves turning 180 degrees while dribbling the ball to get rid of the defender, while continuously stepping on and pulling the ball, which is extremely elegant.

There are many different opinions about its origin, but Zidane quickly became famous for this move when he played for Marseille.

People called it the "Zidane Turn" at the time.

In order to keep a low profile, Zidane changed it to "Marseille Turn".

So much so that in the future, whenever a star player performs this move brilliantly, fans will vaguely remember Zidane's style.

A famous football practitioner named Fat Peach once summarized that there are four ways to become a midfield master. The first three are leading the team to win the World Cup, European Cup and Champions League.

The fourth one is the simplest, which is to successfully perform a Marseille turn in the game!
……

Three days later, Dartford's players returned to the town on the "team bus".

This is their away game in the league.

We easily defeated our opponent 3-1, achieving our second consecutive win in the league and three consecutive wins in all competitions!

The so-called team bus is actually a chartered bus with a green coating on the outside and a Dartford Royal VCD team logo.

The players were discussing enthusiastically the Marseille turn that Lu Kai made in the final moments.

If it weren't for To Madeira's poor ability to seize the opportunity, it would have been a perfect assist.

Ashley Yang pleaded eagerly, "Kai, can you teach me? My dribbling is worse than yours, but it's nowhere near as gorgeous!"

Lu Kai rolled his eyes at him and said, "With your language style, do you think I can possibly teach you?"

Ashley Young shrugged. "Honestly, teach me some dribbling skills. You know, my progress has always been a problem."

"Although I have now mastered the inside cut, it is only the last step. Many times the premise of cutting inside is to move forward."

Lu Kai thought for a moment and said, "In fact, at this stage, no matter how much you train, it's difficult for you to have the ability to break through. This is because you are too short."

"Others can completely use their bodies to feed and house you."

Ashley Young's eyes dimmed. Is there no future for short people?
Maradona is not tall either!

Lu Kai added: "Besides, you are very thin and weak. Your core strength is far inferior to that of legendary players like Maradona and Zola."

"Of course, there is a solution to this problem."

"You could try spinning in circles."

"Use your flexibility, keep spinning, don't give your opponent a chance to get to the body, and then break out."

Ashley Young seemed unconvinced: "Will it work?"

Lu Kai smiled slightly and asked, "Who is the most influential player in football right now?"

Ashley Young said without hesitation: "Of course it's Ronaldo!"

Lu Kai nodded and said word by word, "That's right."

"Spinning top too!"

???

All the players in the car burst into laughter.

Only Ashley Young seemed to actually listen.

Listening to the cheerful laughter in the car, George turned his head and looked out the window.

More and more people are confused about who the real star of this team is.

In this case, I need to make them understand that a guy who always goes back to the midfield to occupy the ball and show his presence cannot replace the real midfield core!
As a striker, you cannot have both goals and assists, as well as ball possession and core status.

George will defend his authority to the death!

……

It's midweek again. Nearly 300 people once again flocked to the Pond Field.

Midweek games are usually make-up games. For example, if the weekend league is not played due to weather, accidents, etc., it will be moved to midweek.

Or maybe a cup match.

Today is the cup match.

But not the FA Cup that was played in midweek last week.

But it’s the Kent Senior Cup!
That’s right, Dartford is really courting death. They have signed up for two cup competitions this season!
If they don’t come to the bottom, who will?

The Kent Senior Cup is a regional competition and is not as impressive as the FA Cup, a large-scale competition affiliated with the English Football Association.

The English Football Association has three major cup competitions, covering all teams in the top eleven levels, giving everyone a stage to shine.

They are the FA Cup, the Lower FA Cup (FA Championship), and the Super Lower FA Cup (FA Bottle).

The FA Championship is for teams ranked fifth to eighth lowest.

The FA Bottle is for teams in tiers nine to eleven.

The FA Cup is mainly for the top four teams, but lower-level teams also have the opportunity to enter the main competition through a complex series of six rounds, including qualifying play-offs, qualifiers, and qualifying rounds one to four.

But in fact, the early exposure of the Kent Senior Cup is only higher than that of the FA Cup.

Because this event is a classic event in the London area, it enjoys a very high popularity in the Greater London area.

Arsenal won this honor in the early days of the team.

Future England international Chris Smalling also won this trophy when he was playing for an amateur team.

Today, Dartford will play in the quarter-finals of the Kent Senior Cup.

In other words, they have the hope of becoming the top four of the event!

Once successful, they became well-known in the London area.

Free agents from Greater London would also consider joining them, even if they were only a ninth-tier team.

As long as we keep three or two strong players, leading the team to promotion is not a dream!
"Kai! Come here, come here..."

Ashley Young brought two people over from the door.

Two boys.

One is seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other is about ten years old.

Very similar to him.

"Brother, this is Lu Kai, the chairman of our team and also the main striker!" Ashley Young came over with his family and introduced them. "Kai, this is my older brother Martin Young, and my younger brother Lewis Young."

"My brother is an Arsenal fan and he said he saw you play for the Arsenal youth team."

"My brother is a football schoolboy. His biggest task this year is to get into Watford's youth team. He is better than me and I believe he can stay there!"

"Also, my little brother Kyle Young didn't come today because he had to study."

Lu Kai and Yang Xiao and Yang Da hugged each other and exchanged a few words.

Martin Young, his brother, lamented, "I originally thought Ashley had been deceived. This time, my father asked me to persuade him to leave here and return to London to find a decent team, at least in the sixth tier."

"But after coming here, I realized my father was wrong."

“It’s great here.”

"Many people greeted Ashley along the way, and I could see their satisfaction, love, and even respect for him."

"Being recognized by the fans is one of the goals that every player strives for."

"Ashley is lucky."

"Thank you!"

I have to say that the quality of gun fans is quite high.
