Chapter 620 The Former Tsar ([-])
Russia was once a football powerhouse. The most important thing is that Russia's youth training is still very strong, and the foundation of the youth training lies in the Russians' love for football.
But on the other hand, high-latitude countries like Russia are not suitable for football. This is what Li Weifeng has always been curious about.
Entering the oval indoor football field, I saw young players practicing. It turns out that in summer, the roof of the indoor court here can be opened.
The training is the simplest basic training, passing and catching the ball. Li Weifeng suddenly remembered that he started training like this when he was a child.
"I told them to stop," Arshavin said.
"No, don't disturb them, I just want to take a look, can I take a photo?"
"of course."
Li Weifeng took some photos, including this beautiful indoor court, "Is it a big investment here?"
Li Weifeng knew that Arshavin should not be short of money, but after all, the player's career is only a few years, regardless of the high annual salary, but in general, he is not that rich.
"It's okay, you know, in Russia, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, the land price will not be as expensive as in China."
"Hahaha, that's true."
At this moment, there was a noise not far away, and a coach was scolding the young player.
"Yuri, what's the matter with you, how many times have I said, pass the ball in a straight line, straight line, do you know what a straight line is?"
Arshavin walked over with Li Weifeng and Yang Chen, Arshavin asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, boss, it's a passing problem."
Regarding football, Li Weifeng understood without words. When the kid passed the ball just now, he was looking at people, not on the running line.
For example, if you want to hit a moving target, then you have to add a little lead, and if the target you are aiming at is the object itself, it is 100% impossible.
That's why in a lot of low-level games, the pass goes to the back of the running player's ass.
The best way to solve this problem is to make the passing line and running line a straight line or parallel line when passing the ball, so that the running player does not need to slow down to get the ball.
It's very simple, but it's basic skills, and basic skills need to be practiced from an early age. Li Weifeng thinks that the basic skills of the children here are pretty good compared to those in China, but the coaches are still so serious.
The child was about to cry. Arshavin didn't comfort him, but patted his head, "The coach is right, you will know later."
Li Weifeng recorded this scene with his mobile phone, "Your training here is too strict."
"Yes, we have to be responsible for every penny their parents pay, they are here to be stars."
"Yes," Li Weifeng was a little ashamed, he felt that he should not be suitable to be a youth training coach, and he would soften his heart.
Passing and catching the ball was quite boring, and there was nothing to see. Arshavin suggested to go to the restaurant for something to eat, and Li Weifeng nodded. There is really only so much to see here.
The restaurant is a one-story low building with a dark red exterior wall and a glass curtain wall. From the inside, you can directly see the situation on the training ground. It is estimated that it is convenient for the coach to monitor the situation on the training ground while having afternoon tea.
Li Weifeng, Arshavin, and Yang Chen were leaning against the glass curtain wall. When they saw the boss coming, the restaurant staff immediately came over.
"What to drink, there is no menu here, but there are general Western-style meals."
Just finished drinking coffee, actually the two of them didn't need anything, Yang Chen said, "Two glasses of water."
"Then I'll have a glass of water too," Arshavin said.
Li Weifeng asked: "Have you ever thought about going to China to open a football school? We can partner."
Arshavin smiled slightly, "I'm not ambitious, I don't want to make the business so big, it's too tiring."
Li Weifeng also laughed, "That's true."
In fact, when they came in just now, the two discovered that the decorations on the walls of the restaurant were all posters of the boss, some from the national team and some from the club.
Of course, the most conspicuous one is the poster of Arshavin when he was at Arsenal. Yang Chen pointed to the poster on the wall, "That was when you were the proudest."
Arshavin turned his head and looked, "You can't say that."
"Why? Wouldn't joining Arsenal satisfy you?"
Arshavin shook his head, "Actually, my favorite is Bayern Munich."
Both of them had heard about this point. After Arshavin became popular in the European Cup in 2008, he recommended himself several times. He wanted to go to Bayern Munich, even with a salary reduction, but Bayern had no interest in him at all.
Li Weifeng patted the table, "Comparing people to people, I'm so pissed off, if I can join Arsenal, I will be crazy about it."
"Haha," Arshavin said with a smile, "this is life. You envy my life, and I envy other people's."
"The next question may be difficult to answer. What is the most memorable game in your career?"
Arshavin said: "This question is not difficult for me. In the 2008 Euro Cup quarter-final match against the Netherlands, I scored a goal in overtime to help Russia advance."
The two thought about it, and it was indeed a very classic match, and it was also the match between Arshavin and the Conferred Gods.
"It's been 10 years,"
"Yeah, time flies," Arshavin said.
Yang Chen thought of a question, "Will you consider being the head coach of Russia in the future?"
Arshavin was taken aback. The Russian media had already discussed this issue, but he himself hadn't thought about it. It was very simple. He still felt that the pressure was too great and he was too immature. "Not for now, I might go to Germany to study."
"Really? That's great, Yang Chen is also studying coaching courses in Germany, you two can be together."
"I have no objection," Yang Chen said.
After chatting all morning, the two found that Arshavin was different from other Russians, probably because of his baby face, which seemed approachable and gave people a sense of intimacy.
"Stay for lunch, and I can introduce you to the staff here."
The two glanced at each other, "Don't bother, we still have something to do, let's make an appointment later, we invite you."
Arshavin spread his hands, "Okay then, I won't force it anymore, and you said about opening a football school together, I thought about it."
"What? Changed your mind?"
"Yes, I'm thinking, if one day my football school in Russia can't continue, then going to China might be a good choice."
As soon as these words came out, the three of them laughed.
