Manchester United's heir apparent, but can't play football.

Chapter 8 yields Shock Points!
As dawn broke, the Wolfsburg training ground was shrouded in a thin veil of rain.

Lower Saxony, which should be dry, is experiencing a persistent drizzle.

Li Luo was not late; she arrived at work on time.

After changing into their jerseys and shoes, they headed to the training field.

Suddenly I realized that the feeling of stepping on the grass was different from that in Manchester.
Wolfsburg's coaching staff enthusiastically gathered around: "Keen Lee, the climate in the Premier League and the Bundesliga is different. This season we will be using turf with rough leaves and dense rootstocks."

"You need time to adjust."

After studying the video footage of the Chinese prodigy in Manchester United's youth team, everyone had a fixed impression: Li Luo's ball control, passing, and footwork were very refined, and he was modeled after Xavi or Pirlo. He needed some time to adapt to the pitch.

"Ah."

Li Luo nodded and silently memorized this information.

not far away.

Wolfsburg's first-team players stopped their training session and curiously observed the newly arrived Chinese teenager.

"Hey? That guy is so short!"

"A clean face, no beard, like a child."

"He was just a child."

"Li is the shortest in our first team, right? I'm so envious. He has a low center of gravity and a high stride frequency. I watched that UEFA Youth League final. His control of the field and his breakthroughs are very strong."

“Vienia is short, but she has a thick beard.”

They didn't make a malicious comment about Li Luo's height; instead, they used his tactical function as a potential game-changer.

Head coach Black Gold, with a stern face, interrupted his players' conversation: "Quiet! Rain is no reason for us to relax! Tomorrow's opponents will not let their guard down just because they're wet!"

His tone was stern, and his expression was fierce.

He then turned around, put on a kind smile, and jogged towards the Chinese genius.

The Wolfsburg players immediately shut up and resumed their warm-up.

The team doctor advised the coaching staff that training in the rain might cause them to catch a cold, but this suggestion was always firmly rejected.

slowly.

The club's management had gotten used to it; the previous head coach, Magath, had an incredibly insane training regimen, practically pushing the players to their limits.

The players had no complaints; this little bit of rain was nothing. Compared to other clubs, Wolfsburg's current training intensity was quite reasonable.

The rain fell obliquely, mingling with the scent of earth and the coolness of grass.

Li Luo's black hair looked as if it had been sprinkled with grains of white sugar.

He smiled politely and greeted the Wolfsburg manager.

"Good morning, Mr. Black Gold!"

Hear this.

Black Gold smiled and nodded in response, his mood immediately easing. He had a good impression of Li Luo: very gentle, polite, and his smile was very pleasant; unlike that troublemaker from Arsenal, and even less like De Bruyne who was waiting for him to speak first.

He took the medical report from the teaching assistant and murmured:

"Hmm? Feeling a bit unwell due to the change in environment?"

"Boss, I'm not having any problems with the change in environment."

"Good, not bad, lad!"

Li Luo answered subconsciously, then took the vest handed to him by the staff and joined the warm-up exercises.

not far away.

Wolfsburg's assistant coach blew the whistle to start the group matchups.

The rain intensified, making the grass increasingly slippery.

The players' ball control, technical movements, and passing were all affected.

Even De Bruyne, who possesses top-notch passing ability, made a mistake.

Li Luo and several teammates stood on the sidelines.

He's not nervous at all now.

The spatial perception module in the brain is working frantically.

This time.

They won't run around aimlessly like headless flies anymore.

The training match has reached the 12th minute.

De Bruyne delivered a brilliant long pass, the ball tracing a rainbow-like trajectory in the light drizzle.

Bendtner, who is 190cm tall, makes a forward run to start.

again and again.

The damp grass caused the big guy to fall heavily.

The football splashed water as it hit the ground, then rolled limply out of bounds.

Arsenal's president laughed as he got up, turned around and gave the Belgian prodigy a thumbs up.

De Bruyne shyly returned a thumbs-up.

The Wolfsburg coaching staff on the sidelines nodded in satisfaction.

"Rain can affect visibility."

"Although Bendtner's start was a beat late, looking back, his running path was very reasonable. He truly deserves to be called a genius produced by Arsenal's youth academy, with top-notch spatial awareness."

"De Bruyne's game reading ability is also top-notch."

"Other players were also significantly affected."

"Let Lee go on stage!"

"Let him play on the same team as De Bruyne!"

Beep!
Li Luo changed into Team A's vest and jogged onto the field.

His teammates didn't have high hopes: the rain was so heavy, the grass was so slippery, and the quick, agile genius who was good at passing, stopping, dribbling, and shooting wouldn't pose much of a threat.

Black Gold had the same idea.

"Li needs time to understand our formation changes and tactical system, and gradually integrate into them."

“Even for a genius, everything here is unfamiliar to him, and he needs time to adapt to everything in Wolfsburg.”

"take it easy."

"I am not in a hurry."

Not nervous at all.

I'm not nervous at all.

Li Luo's expression remained calm.

Spatial perception in the brain has perfectly deconstructed Wolfsburg's formation changes.

All information on the football field is under our control.

Rainwater can mask the deficiency of over 40 points in foot attributes.

The game continues.

The football continued to splash water droplets on the grass.

The formations of both sides changed constantly as the players moved around.

A group of middle-aged teaching assistants were shouting and yelling on the sidelines:

"Li, over there!" "Insert it, Li!"

"Take it back, take it back, Li!"

They tried to help Li Luo adapt to the Bundesliga pitch, integrate into the new environment, and fit into the locker room.

gradually.

Everyone began to realize something was wrong, their brows furrowing and their expressions showing surprise.
Li Luo's positioning was even more logical than their shouts.

The timing of the run is even earlier than hearing the sound.

wrong!

Yes, it's Li Luo's brain that's faster than ours!

Black Gold opened its mouth wide.

Arsenal's "Emperor" Bendtner, who was substituted off the field, stared wide-eyed: This kid's spatial awareness is not something The Sun is just making up; those Swansea players aren't stupid.

His teammates on the field were secretly shocked: Wouldn't this kid's vision be affected by the rain? His positioning was too reasonable, so reasonable that it seemed like the result of precise computer calculations.

De Bruyne became increasingly confused as the game progressed. Before each receiving or passing the ball, he observed that Li Luo had already appeared in the most suitable position, creating the lowest-risk and best-angled passing route for him.

"Hey, Li Luo even raises his finger to remind his teammates about their positioning!"

"genius!"

"A super genius!"

"commander!"

"The rain affected Li Luo's passing, stopping, dribbling, and shooting! But it couldn't overshadow his vision, game reading, positioning, awareness, and off-the-ball movement."

Black Gold and the teaching assistants were startled.

Everyone's expression: We've struck gold!
"correct."

"Have you noticed that Li's method of resistance is also quite reasonable?"

"A confrontational approach that adapts to the times."

"Although he is short, he is very good at using his core strength, and he uses his buttocks very effectively."

"Yes, that makes perfect sense. Manchester United's youth academy is really something."

European youth training textbooks have been updated very quickly over the past decade, with outdated elements being removed every year. As a result, many young players' technical movements have become fixed, and some of their flawed movements have become habits that are difficult to correct.

Manchester United is no exception.

Those exceptionally talented stars will not be affected.

Right now, nobody knows.

Li Luo only recently started learning to play football, and his textbook is the latest version.

ten minutes later.

Li Luo observed that his teammates behind him had regained possession of the ball.

In an instant.

Immediately start the engine.

He has excellent physical abilities, is 173 cm tall, has a low center of gravity, and can start very quickly with a step-back.

As Cruyff once said: Speed ​​is not simply about running fast, but about starting earlier than your opponent.

"Change the offensive!"

"Pass the ball to Li quickly!"

The teaching assistants got excited again.

Gustavo made a tackle and passed the ball to De Bruyne.

The latter was utterly shocked.

There is no need to calculate the lead time of the pass.
Snapped!
The moment the football leaves the ground.

Li Luo's figure just happened to break through the opponent's back line.

There was no offside.

"Single sword!"

"This kid's basketball IQ is fucking high!"

Team B's goalkeeper was a bit confused.

At first, when he saw Li Luo, who was not yet familiar with Wolfsburg's tactical system, put on the A team jersey and take the field, he felt that this training match was unfair.

Now, when he saw Li Luo almost slip and fall the moment he stopped the ball, and then dribbled towards him one-on-one, he felt that this training match was unfair.

The distance is getting closer.

Li Luo watched as the B team goalkeeper charged out.

Oops.

He made a mistake as soon as he controlled the ball, exposing more than 40 flaws in his footwork.

Facing a one-on-one situation at this moment will further expose their weaknesses in ball control and shooting.

next moment.

He also made a mistake while dribbling the ball, showing poor stability in his ball control.

We're going astray.
Team B's goalkeeper carefully observed the changes in Li Luo's shoulder.

Fake action?
Real action?
As a result, he lost his balance from his own movement and fell to the ground.

Trying to brace himself with his hands, he slipped on the grass and fell repeatedly.

To everyone else, Li Luo and the ball were both off course.

"Player and ball pass each other!"

"Wow!"

Li Luo bypassed the fallen goalkeeper, touched the ball again, and gently pushed it into the empty net.

clap clap clap!
Everyone applauded!

Black Gold and the teaching assistants looked at each other with admiration.

His teammates couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

The torrential rain washed over the grass, and no one doubted Li Luo's footwork skills.

The Bundesliga campaign has officially begun.

[Shock level +1]

[Shock level +1]

[Shock level +1]

【.】

Li Luo was a little confused as he watched the constantly increasing shock value.

The system notification sound did not stop.

[The scope of rewards for the star player blind box has been confirmed: Bundesliga stars.]

[New Player Bonus: First-time redemption of the Bundesliga All-Star Blind Box requires only 40 Shock Points.]
