Chapter 25 Basic Qualities of a Hero

This training session shattered what Chen Yingxiong had been proud of for more than a month, and he failed again and again.Against Eric Hagen and Martin Skrtel, there was nothing to do.

And the gazes of the teammates who had changed just now became suspicious again.But Chen Yingxiong didn't give up, he just got up from the ground again and again, signaling the passer to continue.

This scene reminded him of his experience during the trial training at CSKA Moscow.

The long-lost feeling came back again, and he was shot down from the clouds of heaven into the quagmire. Only then did he realize that he hadn't changed from before. He thought he was a genius star, but in fact he was still far away...

Chen Yingxiong didn't even know how he ended the training, and the noisy locker room seemed to have nothing to do with him.

He lowered his head to take a shower alone, changed his clothes, put on his training bag, and walked out of the locker room.

In the past, he would greet his new teammates in his newly learned Russian, say goodbye and so on.

In short, you can definitely feel his presence in the locker room.

But this time, he walked out of the locker room silently with his head down, as if he didn't know anyone here.

Li Hao looked at Chen Yingxiong's back, a little gloating.

During training, he scored a goal under the pressure of the opponent, which made it difficult for him to swallow.

So he was very happy to see Chen Yingxiong being unlucky.

This is what happens when you trouble me, Chinese!
After Chen Yingxiong left, there was a moment of silence in the locker room, and then there were discussions.

"That kid will go to the reserve team soon..."

"Another shooting star. Why am I not surprised at all?"

"In fact, his header is really good, I think he just got a little anxious..."

Someone went to tease Hagen: "Eric, you have severely damaged this kid's confidence, ha!"

Hagen shrugged, with a helpless expression on his face: "It has nothing to do with me..."

Arshavin saw Skrtel beside him frowning all the time without saying a word, so he patted him on the shoulder: "You don't feel guilty about this, do you?"

Skrtel shook his head: "No, I was just thinking... Forget it, I'll take a shower!"

After speaking, he picked up the towel and walked to the bathroom.

Arshavin looked at the bewildered Skotel pouted and shrugged.

In the steamy bathroom, Skrtel stood naked in front of a huge mirror.His teammates passed behind him in twos and threes, and everyone's topic seemed to have shifted to the Chinese.

Skrtel pressed his left rib with his hand, with a painful expression on his face.

When he took his hand away, a livid bruise appeared where he had been pressing.

This kid... is really ruthless...

Skrtel murmured inwardly.

This dark blue bruise was left by Chen Yingxiong during training.

In order to stop Chen Yingxiong's header, Skrtel desperately entangled with him. The two bodies kept colliding. It may not seem intense, but looking at this black and blue bruise, you know that it is fake if it is not intense. of.

Chen Yingxiong, who returned to the dormitory, threw his sneakers on the ground, as if he was still angry, he kicked his sneakers all over the living room.

Ye Saijing quietly watched him vent his depression.

Chen Yingxiong turned around and looked at Yesening: "Am I in a mess, like a lost dog?"

Yesenin thought for a while, then nodded: "Very similar."

Chen Yingxiong rolled his eyes: "I knew your dog couldn't spit out ivory."

"You really look alike..."

"I ask this because I hope you can comfort me!"

"Oh, sorry." Yesenin suddenly realized, and then shook his head: "Actually, it doesn't look like that at all."

Chen Yingxiong waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it... I'm asking for trouble."

After speaking, he sat on the sofa, not knowing where to look in a daze.

When he was in a daze, Yesenin picked up the sneakers he had kicked into the living room and returned them to the shoe rack at the door.

Chen Yingxiong watched him finish these things, and then suddenly asked: "Shouldn't my header be very good?"

"From a technical point of view... that's the case," Yesenin said.

"What does that mean technically?"

"That is to say, put you and the opponent alone, if you only compete for headers, you will definitely win. But in the game... the situation becomes complicated. The person defending you is no longer one person, but multiple people. , and they don't just use technical means to stop you. Defense has tactics, hero. In other words, they can pull your jersey and stop you from jumping..."

Chen Yingxiong interrupted Yesenin: "Wait a minute. When I tried Zenit and played with the youth team, I also encountered situations where someone pulled my jersey. Why can I score?"

Yesenin spread his hands: "Is the level of the youth team the same as that of the first team?"

Chen Yingxiong was left speechless by the question.

"Then what's the point of such a heading technique? I can only score goals in the youth team and training, and it's useless in professional competitions!" Chen Yingxiong stood up from the sofa suddenly, a little emotional, and his heart beat. Unwilling.

Yesenin raised his head and looked at the tall Chen Yingxiong: "There is a question I have wanted to ask for a long time."

"What?" Chen Yingxiong didn't bow his head, but looked at Yesenin who asked the question out of the corner of his eye.

"The heading ability I gave you, as long as you practice hard and add a little luck, you can get a place in professional football with this alone. You will become a center forward with excellent headers and a strong body. Scored a lot of goals in my career. How do you see this future?"

Chen Yingxiong shrugged: "It seems to be okay."

"But you will be a first-rate striker at most in your whole life. You still need good luck and hard training. There are more chances that you will become a second-rate or quasi-first-rate striker. Do you think it's okay?"

This time Chen Yingxiong shook his head decisively: "Mr. Aurora, do you know why I am called 'Hero'?"

Yesenin looked at him.

"Hero, hero, if you don't become a hero, what is your name?"

"It's also possible to be first-rate."

Chen Yingxiong shook his head: "There are tens of thousands of first-class people, but there can only be one hero."

"Are you going to be a hero on the field?"

"of course."

"But you know, not everyone can be a hero. To be a hero, you must pay an unimaginable effort and price. Do you think you can still have the ability to head the ball when you wake up like before? I will give you Say, you have to pay a lot more than now!"

Yesenin suddenly raised his voice.

This should be an impassioned speech, and the audience should continue with tears in their eyes, blood boiling, fists clenched, and a trembling voice: "No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead! I will never give up!"

But Chen Yingxiong smashed the atmosphere with one mouth: "Stop talking nonsense! Just tell me what to do!"

Yesening froze for a moment—Chen Yingxiong's reaction was different from what he expected.As for what he envisioned, you can refer to the "Correct Response Paradigm" above.

"It's very simple." Yesenin didn't get the response he expected, and his enthusiasm suddenly dropped a lot. "You just have to keep training hard, learning skills and gaining experience."

"Then what do I want from you, Mr. Aurora..." Chen Yingxiong felt that Yesenin must be out of his mind—any player needs to do the above three things in order to improve and succeed.

"No, no no no." Yesenin shook his head. "This is where you need me, hero. I have a plan that can make you a green hero. First of all, the implementer of the plan needs to have a strong body, otherwise he will be frequently injured halfway and become a glass man, and this plan will die And this one happens to be yours." He pointed to Chen Yingxiong.

Chen Yingxiong thought about it, and it was true, his body was really strong.Played in various teams for 12 years, rarely injured, and the kind of injury that could almost destroy his football life has never appeared.Even in the youth team of a domestic club, encountering his teammates' black feet actually did not pose any great threat to him. His anger was purely because he thought that the other party dared to plot against him...

"Then you need to be able to bear hardships and stand hard work, and be able to withstand boring and heavy training. After this month's training situation, I think you also have this patience."

"Then, talent. The body is also a kind of talent. Many people envy your body? Skills and awareness can be improved through training, but the body, only the body, is the most difficult thing to improve through training."

"In the end, you need a heart that can withstand tremendous pressure. The experience of you and your father in July shows that you are not lacking in this. You have encountered many difficulties, setbacks and blows. But you never gave up. From one place to the next Another place, always insisting."

"There are many geniuses, and there are many hardworking people. But there are not many people who can meet the above four conditions at the same time, and it can even be said to be rare. Some people have a strong body, but their hearts are fragile, unable to withstand any blows, and their state fluctuates. Uncertain. Some people have a tough heart but lack a strong enough body. Such a person will become a glass man who is frequently injured in cruel professional football matches. No matter how strong he is, he will not be able to reach the level of a hero throughout his life. Still Some people have both talent and body, but they can't bear hardships, they like leisure, they squander their talents and capital wantonly, and then lose their brilliance as geniuses early, and disappear from everyone."

Yesening looked at Chen Yingxiong and said, "Want to be a hero? These four basic qualities are indispensable. Do you still think it is easy to be a hero?"
