Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

During the subsequent training session, Maksa reminded Villa to pay close attention to the defensive players.

Villa disagreed.

Then he was tackled by his teammates one after another.

Although there were no major injuries, there were quite a few bruises and cuts.

Villa did clash with the defenders, but was brutally suppressed by Fonte.

Fonte showed him what it meant to be a ball hog, even though Fonte never played on the field.

Fonte then signaled to Adriano to challenge the defenders, and let Villa himself assess their defensive attitude and performance.

Then, something shocking happened to Villa.

Adriano was able to successfully protect the ball despite being defended by an average of two players.

When he's in good form, none of the three of them can do anything to him.

Villa had to admit that there was a reason why Adriano became the team's starting center forward.

However, he still indicated that a role-playing center forward who cannot score goals should not be the team's only option.

Fonte smiled slightly.

Villa, you still don't know me, Kai!

Fonte then assigned Cavaliero to goalkeeping, adding difficulty to the "game".

But things always turn out unexpectedly... Adriano is even harder to defend against.

Because his archery skills are ridiculously strong!

Villa believes that, in terms of shooting skills alone, Torres and Ribery are a cut above him. Those two players, one relies on speed, the other on dribbling and both feet, lacking a pure skill set.

But Adriano... his shooting skills are definitely better than Villa's.

Especially the bursts of fire while moving.

Villa believes that, apart from Batistuta at his peak, no one else has this kind of shooting skill!

Deng Kai gave his approval.

Villa knows his stuff.

Because Adriano's shot was... Batistuta's goal!

If Adriano was a pivot point last season, then this season, with Premier League teams scrambling to contain Duncan, he is likely to become the team's scoring threat!

So no matter how strong Villa is, he can probably only play second fiddle to Adriano!

Just as things calmed down for Villa, young goalkeeper Neuer began to challenge the veteran players in the goalkeeper position.

The incident began when Neuer and Schmeichel trained together, and Neuer won over Schmeichel's father through a competition.

Neuer is much better than Schmeichel.

So, having received praise from old Schmeichel, Neuer mustered the courage to challenge Caballero.

Surprisingly, it turned out that Noir was still the better performer.

Noir could no longer suppress his desire to become famous with a single goal.

He challenged the team's number one goalkeeper, Petr Cech.

Maksa immediately granted Noir's request and organized the entire team to practice shooting together.

Despite it being extra training, the goalkeeper and the shooters were incredibly happy, even believing that Coach Maksa was considerate and willing to use the training ground for everyone's entertainment.

After a round of shooting practice, Fabregas' last shred of pride was shattered.

Cech and Neuer showed him what two walls really meant!

Shooting is so difficult!

Scoring a goal is so difficult!

Players including Nainggolan, Vidal, Mandzukic, Maicon, Lahm, and Sun Jihai often had their shots saved by the two goalkeepers.

They simply couldn't determine the difference in skill level between the two goalkeepers.

Then, Villa, Ribery, and Torres came on, which had a certain testing effect.

When facing these three top strikers, Neuer's accuracy rate was seven percentage points lower than Cech's.

This will tell who is who.

However, the gap between the two sides is not large.

Neuer even felt that when he was in good form, he could beat Cech.

He is fully confident that he can push Cech to the bench this season.

Because these talented players improve really quickly.

It's that simple for them to surpass their opponents.

Neuer clearly didn't realize that Cech was also a player of genius caliber.

And it's quite possible... that he's even more talented than him!

Finally, Adriano made a grand entrance.

Noir was defeated instantly.

He had a hard time stopping Adriano's shots.

If we say that the shooting skills of Villa and the other two have reached the vicinity of Noyel's limit.

Adriano then exceeded this limit, and Noir, who had previously been evenly matched, suddenly became defenseless.

However, Cech... actually started competing with Adriano.

The penalty kick success rate is generally over 70%.

Long-range shots from outside the penalty area have a significantly lower success rate in scoring.

Regardless of the method, Adriano's goal-scoring rate is consistently lower than this "normal situation".

Despite their different roles and positions, the players have to admit that Adriano and Cech are evenly matched.

Adriano's shot, Ribery's breakthrough, and Cech's save are probably the team's strongest individual skills.

Their advantage in this area far surpasses the advantage that other players have over others.

"Cech is stronger!"

Ultimately, Fonte brought the game to a close.

Everyone crowded around Fonte, eager to hear his insights.

To be fair, although Fonte has a very high status in the team.

However, many players are actually dissatisfied with his playing skills.

One reason is that he gets very little playing time, and the other is that Fonte is always doing things unrelated to playing football in the locker room, seemingly not interested in the sport.

How could someone like that understand football?

Fonte explained, "Adriano is certainly excellent. I can tell you definitively that his shooting skills are currently among the top five in the world!"

"Based on this alone, he's already no worse than Ronaldo!"

Ronaldo!

alien!

Former world number one!

Ronaldo: ? ? ?

"But essentially, Adriano hasn't done anything beyond what a striker can do," Fonte said. "Adriano could be the best striker in the world."

"But Cech has transcended the role of goalkeeper; he's playing a completely new kind of football, he's pioneering a new profession in world football!"

The new players looked completely bewildered.

The veteran players smiled slightly.

Fonte: "Goalkeeper + Defender!"

"After a season of training, Cech's attacking range now covers almost the entire third of our defense!"

"Half of our game belongs to him!"

"Aside from his saves, his footwork is just as good as a skilled center-back!"

"Passing, receiving, initiating attacks... these are skills he honed last season at the cost of conceding over ninety goals!"

"That's why he was always the team's starting goalkeeper in the league, even though he didn't perform well last season."

"This is a skill that other goalkeepers can't develop in three years, five years, or even a lifetime!"

Many people seemed to be deep in thought.

During this period, everyone has also been exposed to Manchester City's tactics and has taken many tactical lessons.

Manchester City places great emphasis on possession and pressing, playing a very aggressive style of play.

However, this also makes them vulnerable to counterattacks.
