Chapter 80: The last warm-up match

, The fastest update of the latest chapters of Fox in the restricted zone!
A training of wing attack routines is underway on the training ground.
Farek Quinn passed the football to Ismail Camara, who pulled back to meet him.
The latter turned and dribbled the ball close to defending his full-back Danny Dixon.
Camara was about to go to the side, and everyone speeded up. After Dixon followed him, he slammed the football from behind to the center with his left heel, and at the same time came a sudden stop and change of direction!
Dixon slammed the brakes, but slipped and fell to the ground. He couldn't keep up anymore. He could only watch Camara cut in the middle without being guarded.
Camara, who knocked the defender down, passed the football in the process of lateral dribbling, passed it backwards, and gave it to Hu Lai, who ran to outflank it.
Then Hu Lai jumped up and headed the goal.
The football was reversed by him to point in front of the goal, goalkeeper Van der Wynn could not reach the whip and missed it.
The football flies into the net...
If placed in the game, this must be a wonderful offense that can make everyone cheer and applaud.
But Quinn yelled dissatisfiedly on the training ground: "Camara!! You should pass the ball to me!"
Regardless of whether Camara could understand it or not, he just complained bluntly.
Tony Clark also blew his whistle, paused training, and then walked to Kamala, and at the same time hooked Hu Lai to beckon him to come over as an interpreter.
"Camara, according to our training requirements, after you cut inside, you have to pass the football to Quinn from the side..."
The training requirements are indeed like this. Camara wants to take Dixon to the center and leave space on the sideways, while Quinn can move forward along the sideways.
Then Camara distributed the football to Quinn on the wing, and Quinn crossed after receiving the ball.
In the middle, Hu Lai and Lorenzo completed a cross run in the penalty area. They used to go to the front point at the back point, and they went around the front point to the back point, forming a "double ghost shot at the door" in front of the door. .
As a result, after Quinn cut in from the wing just now, Quinn passed the ball directly in the center, without giving Quinn from the wing. That's why Quinn complained.
This does not meet the training requirements.
After listening to Hu Lai's translation, Camara defended himself: "But boss, no one defended after I cut inside..."
Clark said to Camara very seriously: "We are training now, so after you pass Dixon, there will be no one in the middle. You can get such a passing opportunity. But the problem is that in the official game, the middle is impossible. No one comes to make up the defense, so you still have to pass the ball to the side...This is the purpose of our training. Since it is a training with a preset goal, then you must strictly follow the training requirements."
When Hu Lai was translating what the boss said, he was not as concise and concise as before and directly refined the central idea. Instead, he repeated Clark's words as they were, and his expression was as serious as the boss, as if the boss was possessed.
After hearing these words, Camara shrugged: "Okay, boss, I know. But he was knocked down by me just now, and there is no time to be on the side..."
He pointed to Dixon who had just risen from the ground.
Clark sighed in his heart: "It's empty if it falls down, you still have to pass it, do you understand?"
Camara nodded: "Understood, boss."

Pete Williams, who was waiting for training on the sidelines, commented: "That kid Ismail does have two brushes. The sudden stop and change direction just now are really stable and accurate. The control of the body's coordination in high-speed running is still good. so tall……"
Charlie Potter spread his hand and whispered, "That's because Dixon is too bad..."
Williams turned to look at him: "Would you like to replace Dixon's defense?"
Porter waved his hand quickly: "I am an offensive player..."
Williams laughed and said nothing.
The physical training has ended, Williams paid out of his pocket and invited the teammates to have a meal. The dinner party was a success.
If there is a digitized view, you can see that everyone's bond to the team has deepened.
Although not every player will like Kamara, at least the situation that everyone dislikes him as before has eased a lot.
In addition to Hu Lai, Charlie Porter and Williams, some teammates are also willing to communicate with Kamara-of course, they will basically call Hu Lai together and do them interpreters.
So Hu Lai became the busiest person in the team during this time.
In addition, after the tactical training officially began, everyone gradually realized Kamara's talent.
As Williams just said, in terms of personal ability, Kamara does have two brushes.
The first brush-speed. In fact, everyone discovered this during the physical training stage. In the team's speed test, Camara is the fastest player in the team.
At that time, the team conducted a 30-meter sprint speed test and found that Camara ran the 30-meter in only 3.85 seconds.
This result is not only the fastest speed in the Leeds City team, but the entire Premier League may be ranked in the top five.
The second brush is his skill at the feet. Camara, who has been playing street football since he was a child, has a very strong street football style, which is fancy, dazzling and imaginative.
After seeing his performance in training with the ball, Hulay, Williams and Porter believed that he was able to play the opponent's old players on the first day of training on the Flemish French C team. Turning around this thing is real...
During this period, Leeds City also played warm-up matches with two other British Championship teams that also trained in the national training camp.
In the warm-up match, Camara performed well. His speed made the left side of Leeds where he was the most threatening side of the offense, because Camara was out there, and there was Quinn with a strong assist ability. .
But sometimes too fancy and sticky also become his shortcomings.
But Camara didn't care, he could see that he was really proud of his skills at his feet.
In the game, he can always see that after he takes the ball, facing two or three people's defense, he does not easily pass the football, but flashes and moves, trying to break out of the encirclement of China.
Sometimes he can continuously pass the opponent's defensive players under everyone's surprised gaze, and bring the football out of success.
But sometimes, after he tossed for a long time, he was still cut off by the opponent, and the attack ended here.
In his case, Clark emphasized to him in training that he must learn to pass the football to his teammates anyway, instead of having to wait until the opportunity is particularly good to pass the ball.
In addition, he also asked Camara to have fewer unnecessary fancy moves after taking the ball. Those moves that can particularly win applause and cheers on the street court are not so easy to use on the professional football field. If he is too sticky, it will reduce the pace and speed of Leeds City's attack, and it will also increase the risk of losing the ball.
After Clark finished his instructions, he exited the training area and blew the whistle again to start training.
This time Camara took Dixon to the center and decisively passed the football to the side.
Quinn, who was inserted later, received his pass and then sent a pass. In the penalty area, Hulay and Lorenzo crossed the position, and finally Lorenzo, who ran to the front point, made a header and then touched the top of the football. To the goal.
Slightly higher than the beam.
Although he didn't score a goal, Clark was satisfied with everyone's performance in this training. He slapped the sidelines and shouted: "That's it, continue!"

Before the official start of the league, the England Community Shield kicked off. Last season's league champion Stan Park Rangers faced last season's FA Cup champion Manchester Athletic.
The Community Shield Cup is similar to the Super Cup in China. It is the opening whistle before each season. After the game is played in the Premier League, it will officially enter the countdown to the opening.
The two teams drew 1:1 in the 90-minute game. The Community Shield does not have a 30-minute overtime. After the 90-minute game is over, the penalty kick is played directly.
In the penalty shoot-out, Manchester Athletic made five free throws, but Stan Park Rangers captain Harry Burgard kicked the football off the pitch in the most critical fifth penalty.
In the end, Manchester Athletic defeated the defending league champion Stan Park Rangers 5:4 in the penalty shoot-out and successfully won the cup.
On the same day, after returning to Leeds, Leeds played the last pre-season warm-up match with visiting Northumbria.
Northumbria, from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, is the promotion to the Premier League this season. They were promoted as the British champions and runners-up last season.
Playing a warm-up match with Leeds City is also their goal, to let the team feel the level of the Premier League team in advance and find out their own positioning.
The reason why Clark chose to play the warm-up match with the newly promoted horse is obviously that he does not want to affect the morale of the team because of the failure in the warm-up match when the league is about to open.
Based on Leeds’ relegation performance last season, the promoted polo team is naturally a safe choice.
This warm-up match was held at the Flanders Stadium, where tickets were sold and televised at the same time.
What made Clark somewhat unexpected is that Leeds played very hard in the face of the newly promoted Northumbria.
Northumbria's stubborn and fierce style made Leeds difficult, as if it were in a quagmire, and it was difficult to extricate itself.
Under their desperate pressure, Leeds could hardly organize an effective attack.
The Northumbria coach asked the whole team to play this game as an official Premier League before the game, so the whole team was very hard-working.
The Leeds City players still regarded this game as an ordinary warm-up match.
The mentality of the players of the two teams is different, which determines their performance in the game.
In the starting field, Ismail Camara failed to perform at a normal level after the opponent's fierce defense and physical effort, or even half of his performance in training.
His performance in the first half was simply disastrous...
He was replaced during the intermission.
Leeds City resumed the tactical configuration of last season's Premier League relegation.
In the end, with a goal each from Hulay and Lorenzo in the second half, Leeds defeated the newly promoted 2-1 at home with difficulty.
Finally, I did not lose to the newly promoted horse before the opening of the Premier League, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com However, such results and the course of the game obviously cannot help the team build confidence and boost morale...
At the press conference after the game, Clark was asked by the media about Ismail Camara. The reporters asked him to comment on Camara’s performance and explain why the team signed such a player.
To put it bluntly, they all questioned and criticized Kamara.
In this regard, Clark chose to stand on his player’s side:
Kamara does not have any top-level league playing experience. But I don’t think this is a big problem. Experience can be accumulated, but talent is inherent. . In Kamara, we see talent, that’s why the team signed him. His performance in this game is really not good enough, but he performed very well in the first two warm-up games. His performance is not good. There are many reasons, absolutely not our own problems...I hope everyone can give a young man more patience, and the coaching team and I will help him. We will not give up anyone..."
A reporter reluctantly asked: "Coach Clark, do you really believe that Kamara can succeed in the Premier League like Hu?"
Clark said: "Camara is not Hu, but he can also be successful."
