"This kid has a kick?"
Evans, the center forward of the Yellow Team who had just completed the assist, came over first and shook hands with Maher with a smile, "You played very well. I didn't expect that the team would have a long-range shooter this summer."
"Yes, the team has one more offensive tactic."
Midfielder Januhans arrived shortly after, and celebrated with the usual high-fives and hugs, smiling cheerfully, "The next battle depends on you!"
Most people do not have natural malice towards strangers, and in many cases, they will take the initiative to show their friendly side.
Especially when he feels you are capable.
"Thanks."
Maher thanked him with a smile, without any modesty, and even pretended to be calm, as if he was not surprised by the goal.
When you come to a new environment and start competing and socializing again, you must generously show your strengths and let others think you are a strong person.
Only in this way can we receive equal treatment and respect in the future.
After dealing with those who came up to celebrate, Maher turned and walked towards his own half. When he looked at Gilbert face to face, he showed an expression of relief as if he was trying to hold back his laughter.
There is the thrill of scoring a goal in a Championship level training match, and there is also the surprise and joy of getting a good chance right at the start and seizing it!
I also gained more confidence in my future.
"Next, we need to show off all the advantages as much as possible."
Maher had an idea in his mind. Since he had a good start in the new club, he would strive to reach a higher level.
The first impression is very important, and he must work hard to imprint all of his strengths in the minds of the coaching staff.
Whether it is the current head coach Kevin, or Gary Speed who is about to take over the position as Jolson said.
Of course, he was not overconfident.
Apart from long shots, other skills are currently only at level 2, which is definitely not an advantage in front of Championship players.
For example, strength and cycling are abilities that are often used in one-on-one situations. If he uses them carelessly and often fails, he will deviate from his goal.
But, the cross is definitely acceptable.
This ability can be linked to the performance of teammates.
As long as he finds plenty of opportunities to pass the ball into the penalty area, regardless of how accurate the pass is, as long as the quality of the pass is similar, his teammates may be able to head the ball in by accident.
If I could get another assist, I would have achieved 1 goal and 1 assist.
Then today's training match must be perfect for him!
"Mael, a product of Arsenal's U17 youth training."
On the sidelines, Sheffield United coach Kevin looked through Maher's data sheet. "There is no data in the youth team league. Chief scout Jolson brought it back after observing a friendly match."
He looked up at Maher who had just scored a goal, interest rising in his eyes, "Very interesting guy."
Gary Speed on the side nodded slightly, with a look of relief on his face, "When Jolson told me about his situation, I was actually a little hesitant, but in the end I believed his vision.
"It now appears that his talent as a heavy hitter as described in the scouting report is real and obvious."
Kevin pursed his lips in approval, and admiration welled up in his heart, "You haven't even turned 17 yet. Even if you can't play this year, your future is still bright. It's a pity that we only have one year on loan."
As if knowing what he was going to say, Gary Speed lowered his head, not wanting to make eye contact with him.
Sure enough, Kevin shook his head with a little emotion and sighed: "It's a pity that I will soon leave this team."
This sentence caused all the coaching staff members to fall into silence, which lasted for more than ten seconds before being broken.
"The board should also look at your performance in the new season."
An assistant coach said with a complicated expression: "If you can hold on, I may not terminate your contract."
"Stop it."
Kevin still shook his head, not holding out any hope, "The fans don't know, how can we as coaches not know, this group of people can't play in the Championship at all.
"Apart from Robert, Lowton, Evans and Januhans, who else has Championship quality?
"The professional league is a cruel and fierce competition. Oftentimes, you can't just rely on reputation. Let alone loaning out youth players from Everton and Arsenal, what about loaning out youth players from Real Madrid?"
He wanted to say something, but a figure walked in from the entrance of the training ground.
It was Jolson. He was assigned to sort out the documents today, and he rushed over as soon as he finished.
"how's it going?"
Jolson looked at the fast-moving players and observed the status of Maher and Gilbert, looking a little nervous. "Yellow team one to zero."
Gary Speed took over and gave him a satisfactory answer: "Mael scored a goal with a long shot."
"Really?"
Joy quickly rose in Qiao Ersen's eyes, and he clapped his hands heavily: "Great!"
"Oh!"
On the field, Maher found an opportunity, adjusted the ball to his right foot on the left side, and sent a cross.
The quality was barely good enough, and after flying to the center of the penalty area, the red team's defender jumped up and headed the ball out of the penalty area, so it did not pose much threat.
This is actually enough, as long as he can show his ability to create chances with crosses.
Maher ran back calmly, moving quickly on the left side, constantly penetrating into the blind spot of the opponent's midfielder.
Even though his teammates wouldn't give him the ball in most cases, he would still run forward whenever he had the chance, sparing no effort.
The proficiency panel brings him not only those skills, but also the habit of concentration and giving his all!
For the time being, he is unable to break through or dribble past the opponent's side midfielder, so he can only create cross opportunities for himself by constantly interspersing and harassing.
This is an English Championship team, one of the best dozens of teams in the UK.
Maher must take it seriously and must try his best.
In this way, he paid great attention to the movements of the opponent's midfielder and the movement of the football, constantly adjusting his position to create space to receive the ball.
[Skill: Observation lv1]
[Proficiency: (21/300)]
[Effect: You start to use your brain to read the game and observe the situation on the field, but due to your lack of game experience and lack of a lot of videotape analysis experience, you are still at the most basic level.]
Mahel was stunned for a moment while running, then returned to normal, and a new skill awakened. And it was a very special mental skill.
"Initial proficiency 300, same as physical skills."
There was a hint of excitement in his eyes. The ability to observe or read the game can greatly improve a person's performance in the game.
The famous master players in history are not only the pinnacle masters of a certain skill, but also experts who have mastered the game of football.
Moreover, this ability may not require deliberate practice like technical and physical skills.
As long as he is in a fast-paced game, he can exercise at all times.
It is equivalent to automatically brushing proficiency.
"Looking at the description of the effect, maybe analyzing videotapes can also be improved."
Maher was quite concerned about this ability, and he immediately planned that when he got home in the evening after being tired from training other skills, he could watch more game videos and learn from other football masters' understanding of the game.
He withdrew his thoughts and focused back on the court.
It just so happened that the opponent's frontcourt players played a wonderful two-on-two combination on the wing, using smooth continuous passes to break through their own defense and complete the cross.
"Bang!!"
A figure rushed into the penalty area from outside the penalty area line, jumped high and headed the ball.
"Bang!" The team's main goalkeeper Robert punched subconsciously and knocked the ball back into the small penalty area.
But the red team's forward did not miss the opportunity for a follow-up shot. He poked the ball into the net with his toes and scored the goal to equalize the score.
One to one!
Both sides returned to the same starting line.
Maher smiled, not that he had no sense of collective honor.
However, it was Gilbert who made the first crucial header.
It is conceivable that this kid will also leave a good impression on the coaching staff.
Could it be that Gilbert has really developed his ability to steal points by training with himself every day?
