Strong Waist

Chapter 42 Cooperation with training

Lukaku's recent state has gradually become popular, especially after abandoning those bad playing methods, he has a strong interest in the indirect way of eating cakes.

Arsenal's Lukaku rarely retreats outside the penalty area. He more often chooses to confront the opponent's defense in the penalty area, and then waits for the cake.

Of course, this also benefits from Arsenal's cake-making ability.

Needless to say, Lucky's cake-making ability is also top-notch in the entire football world.

In a game, Lucky's threatening passes can always make the opponent's defense tremble.

And it's not just Lucky, Wilshere, Aubameyang, Mane, Robertson and Bellerin can all make cakes.

Now Lukaku feels like he is trapped in a pie nest. Even if he doesn't want to eat, his teammates will crazily stuff it into his mouth.

For a center forward, who doesn’t love to score goals?

For this reason, Lukaku has been in a particularly good mood recently.

A Range Rover was speeding on the road, and loud music filled the entire space. Lukaku was shaking his body while driving, looking extremely excited.

Due to his recent good performance, Lukaku is looking forward to a better state in the next game every day.

In this case, training enthusiasm is also extremely high.

After arriving at the Kearney training base and parking the car, Lukaku staggered into the locker room with headphones on.

"Good morning, guys!"

Lukaku pushed open the door and greeted loudly.

Teammates also responded one after another.

Lukaku staggered all the way to the locker, taking off his shirt while rubbing his moonwalk on the ground.

Seeing Lukaku's appearance, Wilshere couldn't help but smile and asked: "Romelu, I guess something good must have happened to you."

Hearing this, Lukaku turned around and smiled: "My brother got the starting spot in Serie A."

"Congratulations!" Wilshere said with a smile.

Lukaku shook his head and said: "But that's not the key. My brother is the starter, but I am already the top scorer in the Premier League! This is the key. Why does that kid compare to me?"

Wilshere was stunned for a moment and said, "You don't have a good relationship with your brother?"

"No! Our relationship can't be said to be bad, but that guy likes to compare me since he was a child, which makes me feel very annoying!" Lukaku said with a smile; "Especially in the field of football, I don't want to lose to him. , He has just started in Serie A, and I am already the person with the most goals in the Premier League. This is the difference!”

"You are such a bad brother!"

Wilshere shook his head and said.

Lukaku didn't care at all; "If my brother was cute, I could be a good brother, but he is not cute at all!"

The two of them finished changing their clothes and walked to the training ground while chatting.

As soon as they entered the venue, they saw Lucky already standing aside to replenish water.

The sweat on their faces that had not yet dried and the training clothes that clung to their bodies told them that Lucky had been training for a while.

"I've always been curious, why does Kai work so hard?" Lukaku said while doing warm-up exercises: "If I had Kai's status and popularity in the team, I would have started to indulge. He has gained everything."

"So you can't be him!"

Wilshere rolled his eyes and said: "I met Kay in 2011. At that time, Kay was still a rookie who had just joined Arsenal, but this guy dared to yell at people in his first training match."

"So fierce?"

Lukaku was shocked.

If you dare to yell at someone in the first training match, as a newcomer, this is definitely something that will easily get you beaten.

"No one dares to beat him!"

Lukaku was puzzled: "Why?"

Wilshere raised his eyebrows: "Have you never heard of Arsenal's "Underground Garage Incident"?"

Lukaku blinked and then said in surprise: "You mean that Korean? God, I always thought it was a scandal! Is this true?"

Wilshere nodded and said, "Yes, I personally saw Kai carrying a baseball bat into the underground garage, and I also saw the coaches working together to lift the Korean out of the garage."

Lukaku looked at Lucky again.

He has always felt that their captain is a very gentle and easy-to-communicate person outside of games.

I didn’t expect to have such a hot temper!

"Kai's temper has calmed down a lot recently. It may be that after becoming the captain, he can no longer continue to do this. On the contrary, he has changed a lot compared to before!"

Lukaku nodded and said, "I can't imagine what it would be like for the captain to be angry!"

He unconsciously used the honorific title of 'captain'.

Wilshere smiled: "I hope you never know."

At this time, Lucky ran towards them.

"Romelu, come with me to practice passing and running!"

"clear!"

Lukaku responded loudly and followed Lucky to the goal on the other side.

In recent times, the direct connections between Lucky and Lukaku have obviously increased a lot.

This is mainly due to regular targeted training.

Lucky's cooperation with Mane and Aubameyang is already very good, but he and Lukaku always feel like they are not on the same channel.

After experiencing repeated training together, a tacit understanding between the two gradually formed.

"The premise for me to connect with you is that we need to see the same gap, and if there is really no gap and it is impossible to split the sides, I will also pass a fixed-point ball to you. At this time, you need to use your body to fight and stand at the landing point." After Lekai finished speaking, Lukaku nodded; "I understand." Lekai nodded; "Let's practice grabbing the point first!" Lukaku nodded again. In the penalty area, several stepping boards were set up. Lukaku needed to run to the other side of the small penalty area first, then turn around quickly, bypass the confrontation dummy, and come to the back point to grab the point. During the whole process, Lekai will pass the ball at the right time. "Ready! Start!" After Lekai shouted, Lukaku immediately rushed to the front point, squatted down to touch the stepping board, and immediately turned around and sprinted at full speed. At this time, Lekai also kicked the ball. Lukaku bypassed the dummy, came to the back point, and steadily headed the ball into the goal. "Very good!" Lekai clapped his hands. Lukaku was also very satisfied. However

"I feel I can go faster. You can pass the ball to me faster, which will make it more difficult for the opponent's defense to defend!" Lukaku took the initiative to ask.

Lekai raised his eyebrows: "Can you catch up?"

Lukaku: "Try it!"

Hearing this, the two returned to their respective positions.

With the sound of "start" again, Lukaku began to sprint.

He squatted down to touch the pedal, turned and sprinted, and jumped around the dummy.

Swish! !

The ball rubbed Lukaku's scalp.

After Lukaku landed, he made a regretful big foot sound.

"Just a little bit! Let's do it again!"

Lekai nodded and continued to pass the ball.

The two kept trying to play this offensive routine faster.

However, after the ball speed increased, Lukaku was a little overwhelmed.

At the beginning, he could still rub his scalp a few times, but after five times, before Lukaku jumped up, the ball had already flown past.

"Your speed has slowed down!" Lekai reminded.

Lukaku grinned and nodded, "Let me rest for a while!"

Lekai walked over.

He looked at Lukaku who was sitting directly on the ground, thought for a moment and said, "Why do you swing your arms so little when you run?"

"What swing?"

Lukaku blinked and said, "I have always played football like this?"

Lekai thought for a while and said, "I used to receive speed training in the track and field team. Swinging your arms is a key to how to make people run faster!"

After that, Lekai's arms began to swing back and forth.

"Swing your arms quickly, so that you can drive the frequency of your feet to become faster. You can try it later."

Lukaku tried it like Lekai did, and nodded, "Okay!"

After resting for five minutes, Lukaku jumped up vigorously.

"Let's do it again!"

Lekai nodded and returned to the passing point, and immediately made an arm swing and said, "Don't forget to swing your arms!"

Lukaku made an OK gesture.

Soon, Lukaku rushed to the stepping board at the front of the small penalty area. When he turned around, his arms began to swing violently, and the fast swinging arms drove his legs to move forward quickly.

Lekai also passed the ball at the right time.

Bang! !

Lukaku jumped up, and he could feel the close contact between his head and the ball.

It was not a sliding rub like before, but a real header.

But he failed to control the direction of the header.

Even so, Lukaku was very happy.

Finally got it!
