Chapter 98: The Fantasy of a Small Town Genius

"How do you judge?"

Lucky ran over and asked.

He felt there was nothing wrong with his posture, but Cech still judged the opposite direction.

In this regard, Cech laughed and said: "Many free kicks cannot be judged by posture. Being able to take free kicks means that you have excellent abilities, so you need to rely on other aspects."

"For example?" Le Kai raised his eyebrows.

Cech pointed to Lucky's left foot with a smile and said: "Your supporting foot has an obvious toe-stepping action at the moment of shooting, and your entire stance is too straight. This means that you When shooting from a close angle or a long shot, this posture is very good, but in the case of a free kick, the goalkeeper is prepared, and this kind of detail will be accurately captured by an experienced goalkeeper.”

Lucky recalled his previous actions. In order to better exert force, his supporting foot was indeed on the toes.

"But if I don't step on my toes, I won't be able to exert my strength."

Lucky said.

Cech nodded: "So, you need to practice how to kick a straight ball while turning sideways!"

Finally, Cech added; "Pressing the ball is the key. Press the ball sideways and be able to exert force. With the strength of your feet, you will become a heavy free kicker!"

Hearing this, Lucai nodded slightly.

"Let's try the elevator ball!"

Cech ran into the goal.

Lucky returned to the penalty spot, but he moved forward a short distance. The elevator ball was not easy to use from too far away.

Lucky was not very skilled in the elevator ball. He controlled the angle well, but the range of the drop was not large.

For this reason, only two of the five shots hit the door frame, but both were blocked by Cech.

Cech patiently explained the key to the elevator ball for Lucky. Although he is not very good at kicking, as a goalkeeper, he always has to come into contact with all kinds of free kickers. His experience is a good learning template.

The two stayed in contact until the end of training.

After returning to the dressing room, Arsenal players discussed the latest hot news.

"Mourinho seems to be falling out with Manchester United?"

"I heard from their people that the relationship between Pogba and Mourinho is very bad, and Mourinho has a very tough attitude and has to choose between him and Pogba!"

"Normally you would choose a head coach, right? Pogba is going to be in trouble!"

"This is not necessarily true! I heard that they are more inclined to Pogba, and after Mourinho took office, he often quarreled with Manchester United's senior management because of the issue of transfer rights!"

"Some time ago, he also angrily criticized Manchester United's senior management as stupid pigs on his personal media, but he quickly deleted it!"

"Manchester United started well, but after four consecutive defeats, their problems have become serious again!"

"By the way, Mourinho won't be fired again, right?"

"After being fired this time, no one really wants him!"

"Return to Serie A? I heard Inter Milan is looking for a new coach!"

Everyone was talking a lot, and these guys, led by Sanchez, liked to discuss these gossips.

However, Lucky has also heard about Mourinho's problems.

He heard it from Martinez, and the conflict was even more serious than Sanchez and others said.

But Lucky is not particularly concerned.

"Guys, your task now is to prepare for war."

After saying that, Lucky turned to look at Campbell and said, "Isn't it time for you substitutes to get ready? We're going to play in the FA Cup tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Campbell and others perked up!

The FA Cup is an opportunity for substitutes.

They didn't get a chance in the league or the Champions League, but they were able to get some playing opportunities in the FA Cup.

Especially at the start of the FA Cup, Wenger will give them a large number of playing opportunities and make rotations.

Starting from the third round of the FA Cup, Premier League teams will get into the game.

Their opponent in this round is Exeter City from Devon.

To be honest, Lucky had never heard of this club.

There are many teams in the British leagues at all levels. Lucky really won't pay attention to the teams in the English Championship and below.

And this club comes from League Two, which is even more beyond Lucky's understanding.

However, Lucky will still play in this game.

Mainly to warm up for the new location.

Exeter is a small city with a population of only 110,000. Due to the lack of dense population, the entire city looks very empty.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the game was about to start, a large number of fans appeared on the main roads, ushering in a bit of life for the city.

St James' Stadium is the home ground of Exeter City.

But this St. James's Stadium is not that St. James's Stadium.

Although the name of the home stadium collides with Newcastle's stadium, compared to the reinforced concrete stadium, this home stadium is a mini version.

There are only two stands in the entire stadium, especially the southeast stand, which can accommodate only 8,900 fans.

This is already one-tenth of the population of the small city of Exeter.

The locker room in the venue is a small building at the entrance. The space is cramped and the equipment is old. Compared with the wooden lockers of wealthy families, the iron lockers used here are still used in the last century.

The locker was covered in rust, and the player's name was written on paper, indicating which player the locker belonged to.

No matter from any angle, this home court gives people a dirty and messy feeling.

But this is the current situation of low-level clubs in England. Compared with those giants, they do not have too much money in circulation. In order to subsidize the game expenses, they even need to "beg" from fans.

Not to mention the stars.

Exeter City has a star player named Morgan Taylor, who is only 19 years old. As a local player of Exeter City, he is affectionately called "the child of the wind god" by local fans, which means that this child runs as fast as the wind.

Morgan Taylor's face is full of freckles, and his shoulder-length hair is fixed with a headband so as not to block his vision.

As an adolescent child, this is his bottom line!

Like other young players, Morgan Taylor is very excited to play against Arsenal.

In his dream last night, Morgan Taylor dreamed that he was valued by Wenger because of his outstanding performance and transferred to Arsenal to become a member of the giants.

In the dream, he was deeply loved by Arsenal fans. He and Arsenal captain Kai joined hands to help Arsenal win the Champions League again.

This is a great dream!

After this dream, Morgan Taylor is looking forward to this game even more!

Morgan Taylor's eyes are fixed on the figure at the front of the opposite team.

This young man who is only a few years older than himself is already the captain of the giant Arsenal.

For many players, Lekai is the object of their envy and jealousy, and also the goal they need to pursue.

At this time, Lekai didn't know that someone was staring at him, and he moved his body.

In this game, Arsenal almost played with substitutes.

Except for a few main players, the rest are all substitutes.

Including Chambers, Bellerin, Yinwobi, Lovett and other young players.

When he first joined Arsenal, Lekai himself was a little brother.

And now, there are many players younger than him in the team.

So, the renewal of football is really fast!

When Lekai was sighing, the referee in front said that he was going to enter the field.

Lucky nodded, turned around and shouted: "Come on, shout louder during the game, understand!"

Players like Yin Wobi who got the chance to start for the first time seemed extremely excited.

The team began to move forward, and Yin Wobi looked forward expectantly.

Sure enough, an arm was raised high, and a thunderous roar came from his ear!

"Arsenal!

!——"

At this moment, Yin Wobi and other substitutes had imagined countless times.

His full-strength roar.

"Go forward!

!——"

Both teams' lineups:

Arsenal (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Cech.

Defenders: Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs.

Midfielders: Willock, Bellerin, Lucky, Adelaide, Yin Wobi.

Forwards: Campbell,

Exeter City (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Ole Yinnick.

Defenders: Woodman, Brown, Christian Ribery, Reid.

Midfielders: Morgan Taylor, Tilson, Alarcon.

Forwards: Holmes, Nichols Jr., Nichols Sr.

As soon as the two teams walked out, the fans on the scene began to cheer wildly.

Morgan Taylor!

Morgan Taylor!

Morgan Taylor!

Many Exeter City fans were calling Morgan Taylor's name. It was obvious that this little guy was very popular.

Lucky couldn't help but take a second look.

Morgan Taylor noticed that Lucky was looking at him, and he couldn't help but straighten his chest, looking very proud.

In response, Lucky just chuckled and ignored it.
