Master Tutoring Class

Chapter 243 The Wanderer

A massive army of Chinese football fans is heading towards Amsterdam.

Wei Lai was unaware of this, and he didn't have the habit of watching short videos, but he learned some information through the club.

Currently, he is dedicated to various training sessions and pre-competition preparations.

"Squat down with your left leg! Slowly stand up!"

Inside the gym, Wei Lai was doing strength training for his left leg under the guidance of strength and conditioning coach Roberto.

Despite being gifted with bipedalism, he was previously right-handed, so his right leg was inevitably stronger than his left.

Now, he is training to balance the strength of both legs.

It must be said that with the emergence of his bipedal talent, his training efficiency has also increased significantly.

The only problem is that he can't quite tell his left and right legs anymore.

"not bad!"

After Wei Lai stood up, Roberto looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Are you really relatively balanced with no weak foot?"

Wei Lai blatantly lied; "That's right!"

"It's a bit too balanced!" Roberto shook his head, somewhat puzzled.

While relatively balanced without a dominant foot, it still has a predominant foot, which prevents it from being truly balanced.

However, Wei Lai has absolutely no problem using his left leg; he can even do some very detailed things.

This is practically the ability of a bipedal monster!
Wei Lai didn't explain either. The more you explain, the worse it gets. Just assume it's relatively balanced with no adverse foot.

That's all for today, I have an event to attend later!

Wei Lai picked up his training clothes, stood up, and said.

"You have something to do?" Roberto asked in surprise.

Commercial activities exist at Sporting Amsterdam, but not much; they are mostly associated with top players like Konrad Lechmann, Felix, and Mussar.

Wei Lai's commercial value has not yet been fully realized.

"A group of fans are coming from my hometown, and the club wants me to make an appearance!"

Wei Lai put on his jersey and said.

This was a request made personally by the club's management, and Wei Lai couldn't refuse.

On the one hand, they came to support their compatriots, and on the other hand, the club's management stepped forward.

Although Mr. Morton was very averse to this, he did not stop Wei Lai.

After all, professional football is a commercial activity, and this kind of promotion must be taken into account. Only when the club makes money can it have more funds for transfer operations.

Amsterdam time, 11:00 AM.

A group of Chinese fans were welcomed to the Amstel River Stadium.

There were three groups of people, each led by a different blogger, and they all visited at the same time.

Atlético Amsterdam really wants to make money from China, and has even arranged for a Chinese-speaking tour guide to do so.

"Welcome to the heart of Amsterdam Sport, where our honors converge!"

The tour guide gave his explanations in accented Chinese.

Chinese fans stood in a corridor covered with a red carpet, with various portraits hanging on both sides.

These are all stars or legends who came from Atlético Amsterdam.

At the end of the corridor stands a statue of Claudius.

Fans took photos with the group.

After the change of venue, they went to the players' tunnel.

The players' tunnel felt cramped and somewhat oppressive.

Standing here, you can see the empty stadium outside through the entrance.

"Our players go to the battlefield from here. Every weekend they face different opponents, and they will fight to the end for the honor of Amsterdam!"

The tour guide smiled and raised his hand, asking, "Question! Who scored the first goal for Atlético Amsterdam this season?"

The Chinese fans' eyes lit up, and they immediately shouted loudly;
"Wei Lai!"

"It belongs to Wei Lai!"

"Wei Lai made the breakthrough!"

The tour guide smiled and nodded; "Bingo! Your young compatriot is outstanding, he has almost won us over."

Hearing these words, the fans felt proud.

"Let's go to the locker room!"

Stepping into the locker room, the view opened up.

The brownish-yellow recessed cabinet is covered with jerseys, and the players' names are written on the top of the cabinet.

The entire wardrobe is concave in shape.

"This is Wei Lai's cabinet!"

A sharp-eyed Chinese fan immediately spotted the name "Wei.L" written on the second cabinet from the left.

"Holy crap! Let's take a picture right now!"

"Take the picture first!"

"I'm coming too!"

After taking the photos, they sat in the locker room and experienced the feeling of a pre-game pep talk.

The tour guide glanced down at the time and smiled, "Now, let's invite our special guest, your old friend!"

Squeak!

The door opened.

Fans from China looked over curiously, only to see Wei Lai push open the door and enter.

"Hello everyone!"

The locker room fell silent for a moment, then erupted in cheers.

"Fuck!"

"Really?"

"We've found a living person!"

"Wei Lai! Holy crap! He's really here!"

He was immediately surrounded by excited fans as soon as he walked in, and he was a little overwhelmed.

But soon, the hosts, including Goat Guy, quickly reassured the fans to sit down.

Wei Lai, wearing Amsterdam Athletic's training uniform, stood in the middle.

"Should I say something?"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Wei Lai scratched his head: "Thank you very much for coming to watch me play. I will give a better performance tomorrow and won't let you come for nothing."

One fan immediately asked.

"Starting again tomorrow?"

Wei Lai smiled slyly: "Guess!"

"He's definitely a starter! Four games, one goal and three assists, how could he not start?" Another fan gave a thumbs up: "Wei Lai, give it your all tomorrow, go for it!"

Wei Lai laughed and said, "Alright!"

Finally, Wei Lai signed an autograph and took a photo before leaving the stadium.

Chinese fans then shared the group photos on their WeChat Moments and video accounts.

It caused a sensation as soon as it appeared.

'Holy crap? Wei really showed up?'

'Damn! I'm signing up next time too!'

'A meet-and-greet? You old goat rascal, you didn't even mention it!'

"Wei Lai is so strong! He looks very thin in professional matches, but standing next to an average person, he's noticeably bigger!"

"This lousy class is boring, I'll definitely go next time!"

'I want to see Wei Lai too!'

Back at the training base, after completing the training camp, Wei Lai drove his electric scooter home with Diego Ruma.

A large number of Amsterdam fans had gathered at the entrance to cheer on the players, as well as some football bloggers from various countries.

The Amsterdam players all travel by car, with Felix, Konrad Lechmann, Mussar, and others driving luxury cars.

Their appearance always elicits cheers from the crowd.

When Wei Lai appeared riding his electric scooter, the scene became somewhat comical.

"Hey! Go Wei! Show those country bumpkins what you're made of in the next game!"

"Wei! He's unleashed his signature move, the curveball!"

"Go for it! Win the game tomorrow!"

The fans cheered for Wei Lai.

Wei Lai has been living in the Netherlands for almost a year and can still understand basic Dutch.

Wei Lai, driving the vehicle, raised his left arm and shouted, "Let's Go!"

The fans erupted in cheers.

GO! GO! GO!

Diego Ruma, standing behind, looked at Wei Lai with envy.

Even when he was still relatively unknown, Wei Lai was already very popular with Amsterdam fans.

When will I be able to gain the recognition of these fans?
Or rather, when will I be able to play?
So far, the coaching staff has not shown any intention of giving him a debut performance.

The entire Elephelte team has arrived in Amsterdam.

As one of the three giants of the Eredivisie, and also the champion of the Eredivisie last season.

They feel a lot of pressure about Atlético Amsterdam's performance in these four rounds.

The solidity of the lineup is visible to the naked eye!

There's no longer that loose, sloppy state; every position is very close together, and the coordination is extremely smooth.

Especially in terms of firepower release.

Atletico Amsterdam have scored a whopping nine goals in four league matches while conceding only one.

Although their opponents were not very strong, their offensive capabilities still caused them great concern.

After all, for a long time, all the Dutch Eredivisie teams were overwhelmed by Atlético Amsterdam.

They finally saw their decline, but now there are signs of a revival.

As night fell, Elephant's head coach, Stottrie, looked at the intelligence and tactical plans in his hands over and over again, but the more he looked, the more frustrated he became.

Assistant coach Hart walked over.

"Are you still working? Is it because of tomorrow's game?"

Stottrie nodded, rubbing his temples, and placed the documents in his hand on the table: "No obvious weaknesses, no exploitable vulnerabilities, not a good opponent!"

“We’ve discussed this before. We can only rely on sheer strength to win this game. Atletico Amsterdam had a lot of problems in previous seasons, but Morton has solved them all now,” Hart sighed.

Stottry tilted his head back and said, "But when it comes to sheer strength, we haven't won a single game!" Many teams choose to target the weaknesses of Atlético Amsterdam when facing them.

Due to frequent transfers each year, Atlético Amsterdam always needs some time to adjust its squad.

This leads to Atlético Amsterdam lying low for a period of time, then taking a complete squad and beating up all the Dutch teams from start to finish. At the end of the season, the supermarket opens for business and sells off big time, and the cycle repeats itself.

They sell players every year, but they still get to play in the Champions League every year!
That's them!

After a period of decline in recent years, it is now beginning to revive.

Hart said cheerfully, "Anyway, we just need to keep an eye on Conrad Lehmann; he's the most dangerous guy at Atlético Amsterdam."

Stottrie frowned.

Is it true?
Felix is ​​back in form.

Musar, who dominates the midfield.

And that 17-year-old kid who had a breakout performance!
Stottrie sighed, feeling that this season might be another major upheaval!
Simulated course.

Wei Lai has just finished a hair dryer instructor course.

He used to be busy with training, but now he seems to be quite relaxed.

Wei Lai stared at his 90 training points and shook his head helplessly.

Unable to start new advanced courses.

"Should we continue to address the technological shortcomings?"

Wei Lai was conflicted.

He wanted to start advanced courses while also improving his long-range shooting and game reading skills.

But at the same time, they also want to make up for the technical deficiencies.

The problem is, he doesn't have enough training opportunities to attend classes!
"We still need to win more matches and get more training points!" Wei Lai shook his head.

Ding!
[Instructor Pogba invites you to attend his lecture]

Wei Lai rolled his eyes.

Reject directly!

Just thinking about that guy makes his head spin!

Ding!
[Instructor Pogba invites you to attend his lecture]

Continue to refuse.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
"So annoying!"

Wei Lai continued to refuse.

Ding!
"This is never going to end!"

Wei Lai cursed angrily, then turned his head to look over and froze.

[Instructor Pogba requests a change of mentor!]

"Oh?"

Wei Lai raised an eyebrow slightly.

"agree!"

Ding!
[Course Upgrade, Advanced Course, for Wanderers Who Insight into Weaknesses. The course includes broadening horizons, match reading, timing mastery, and more...]

[Lecturer: XXXXXXX]

Wei Lai looked at the newly generated course with delight.

Moreover, this place offers a match reading experience and perspective that I lack.

Praise to Pogba!
Before long, a figure slowly materialized.

Wearing black training pants and a jacket, he stood ramrod straight, but gave off a slouching vibe.

Her face was still shrouded in thick fog. She twisted her body from side to side before finally looking at herself.

Wei Lai stared intently at it.

"Hello?"

The other person suddenly sighed, shook their head, and said, "What a nuisance!"

Wei Lai: "."

Under Wei Lai's gaze, he lay down directly on the lawn, propping his head up with one hand, as if he were yawning.

"Ha~~~"

On the field, some player figures materialized, and the man waved his hand and said, "Go practice."

Wei Lai blinked; "Should I start practicing directly?"

"That's right! Enough talk, get to practice!"

Wei Lai: "How should I address you?"

"as you like!"

Wei Lai: "Then I'll call you Coach Suibian!"

"You called me Trequartista!"

Wei Lai: "What's this?"

The other party said lazily, "The course was already written, didn't it? Wanderer!"

"Oh!"

"Go practice!"

The rogue coach looked impatient.

Wei Lai was a little confused about the situation, so he could only run into the training field.

This is a half-court offensive drill, with four players from each side practicing offense and defense.

After Wei Lai played several times in a row, the Wanderers coach called a stop.

"Okay, come on over!"

Wei Lai immediately ran over.

The wanderer coach got up, but didn't stand up. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Wei Lai:

"His vision is narrow, his reading speed is too slow, but his timing is passable."

After a pause, the Wanderers coach seemed to yawn again.

"Let's start with reading. How do you read?"

Wei Lai blinked and honestly replied, "Passing, positioning, offensive and defensive strategies."

"The general direction is correct, but the details are lacking." The Wanderers coach pointed to his eyes; "Eyes, mindset, game flow, score, even game time, these are all part of the game."

"First, their bodies will lie to you, but their eyes won't, because they're looking at the point of attack."

"Secondly, their thinking is consistent with the course of the game. Once you grasp this line of thinking, you'll understand the opponent's rhythm and intentions!"

"Finally, there's the score and the match time. At the same time, different scores will present different match content."

"When they are in the lead, they will control the situation; when they are behind, they will attack! And their mentality changes at different times, and what they show will also change."

The wanderer coach looked at Wei Lai; "These are things you need to read."

Wei Lai tilted his head: "That's a bit convoluted!"

"That's normal, take your time! This may take some time."

The wanderer coach finally got up and walked towards Wei Lai.

He patted Wei Lai on the shoulder; “Repeat it.”

"what?"

Wei Lai was stunned.

"Didn't you remember?" The Rogue coach raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with displeasure.

"This...eyes, thought process? And..."

The rogue coach leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Anything else?"

"And more. And more."

Wei Lai kept trying to recall, but he got so confused that he couldn't remember clearly.

"How is the game going?"

The wanderer coach leaned closer again, and said in a sinister tone:

"Are you sure? Is this really how the competition is going? If you answer wrong, you'll have to run laps as punishment!"

Wei Lai immediately nodded; "The trend and the score! I'm very sure!"

Are you fishing here?!
Wei Lai thought to himself, "I'm furious!"

"It's boring! Not interesting at all."

The rogue coach suddenly turned around and covered his head with his hands.

Wei Lai curled his lip.

Who is this person?!

He looks quite serious, but he's actually a sly devil.

Even though he answered correctly, he's still fishing for answers.

"Keep practicing. Follow what I just said and slowly get a feel for it." The Wanderer coach waved his hand, dismissing him as if shooing away a fly.

Wei Lai could only turn around and continue practicing in silence, trying to comfort himself.

Although his personality might be a bit harsh, at least he's seriously teaching practical skills, right?
practice!
Why make so many demands on a free advanced course!
The following day, Wei Lai arrived at the training base on his electric scooter.

There was no high-intensity training on match day.

However, there will be a tactics class in the morning to emphasize tactics once again.

We will eat lunch together in the cafeteria to avoid any accidents.

After all, getting an upset stomach could mean losing an important combatant.

In the afternoon, Wei Lai spent his time receiving massages from a physiotherapist.

He now undergoes regular physical examinations every month, which are paid for by the club to better monitor Wei Lai's physical development.

Mr. Morton isn't the kind of unscrupulous coach who would exploit promising young players to the extreme.

He pays close attention to and takes care of the young players' bodies, and he won't use them too harshly before they finish developing.

For example, if Wei Lai wanted perfect attendance, Mr. Morton wouldn't allow it.

With the Europa League this season and two matches a week, he might not be able to play in the league if the games are not important.

For example, in next week's league match, Mr. Morton made it clear that Wei Lai would not play.

After playing Elephurth in the league this week, and then playing a Europa League group stage match against Marseille next Wednesday, they must have a mandatory rest weekend.

We will try our best to ensure one match per week, but if the schedule is too packed or the team is plagued by injuries, then there is no way to do so.

However, given the current depth of Atlético Amsterdam's bench, they should be able to weather most injuries.

As long as multiple key players don't get injured in succession, it's fine.

The fifth round of the Dutch Eredivisie will kick off on September 17th, this weekend.

This is also the current battle for the top spot in the standings, a direct confrontation between the two giants of the Dutch Eredivisie.

Traditional powerhouse Atlético Amsterdam vs. Northern powerhouse Elfelte!
