Monday is the day when Levi’s special training begins.

Coach David had already told him that this special training session would be different from the past, and the start time would be earlier than 7:30, so Levi had already set his alarm clock.

However, before his mechanical alarm clock could take effect, a humanoid "alarm clock" had already appeared.

"Li, get up soon! I made breakfast!"

In the early morning, Levi, who was sleeping in a daze, heard a noise.

He emerged from the bed with difficulty and glanced at the alarm clock. It was only a quarter past six.

This is different from what was promised! Aren’t little girls at this age supposed to be very sleepy?

Levi covered his ears irritably.

It seems that this summer is destined to be less peaceful.

※※※※※※

After hurriedly washing up, Levi rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat at the dining table.

Emma brought out several plates of food as if they were offering treasures, and Levi glanced at them. They roughly included bacon, fried eggs, stewed beans, fried sausages, and fried bread slices, all of which were the most common English breakfast dishes.<

/p>

Speaking of which, although the UK is known as a food desert, the English breakfast is the most outstanding of the three meals. Even when compared with a gourmet country like France, it can be said that it is not inferior.

If she can prepare an English breakfast, it means Emma's craftsmanship is pretty good.

However, Li Wei soon discovered that his conclusion was too premature.

"Bah, bah, bah!" Levi scooped up a spoonful of stewed beans and almost vomited them out as soon as he ate them. "These beans are not ripe! Also, is the ketchup at home free of charge?"

"This is my first time...who would have thought it would be so difficult to do it," Emma muttered with a red face, tugging at the corners of her clothes with both hands, as if she didn't know how to place them.

"You try the bacon again?"

Levi picked up another piece of bacon and put it in his mouth.

It’s still not cooked yet!

He glanced at the expectant Emma, ​​resisted the urge to vomit, and barely swallowed.

Forget it, let’s take care of Emma’s feelings.

"It's okay."

Levi showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and then gave the highest praise he could say against his will.

"That's great!" Emma seemed to be an encouraged child and pushed several other dishes in front of Levi, "Try these again."

Li Wei grimaced, as if he was being tortured, and began to taste each one.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t eat it, but once you eat it, it’s simply beyond words.

There was no salt in the fried eggs, the fried sausages were salty, and the fried bread slices looked okay, but when they were turned over, the backside was fried into a black paste.

Almost every time he ate something, Levi's anger accumulated by one point.

He is a good cook, but when has he ever tasted something like this? Moreover, these are not very troublesome dishes. Emma, ​​how did you fail in everything?

Looking at Emma, ​​who was still looking forward to it, Levi was originally going to reluctantly say something nice, but the accumulated anger made him change his mind.

That’s not right! You and I are not related, so why should I take care of your feelings and make myself suffer?

Levi put down the knife and fork in his hand and looked at Emma.

"Emma, ​​I have to tell you the truth," he took a deep breath, "every one of these dishes you cooked... is terrible."

"Ah? Is it really so unpalatable?" After being hit continuously, Emma's eyes already had water vapor in her eyes, and she looked like she was about to cry.

"Yes, you can try it. Well, of course I don't recommend you do it."

"What should we do?"

"Let's do this, Emma," perhaps because he felt that the words were a bit harsh, or perhaps simply because he couldn't see the girl crying, Levi scratched his head in embarrassment and gave a solution, "From now on, breakfast and dinner will be all mine.

Come and do it, you may... not be suitable for this. However, I will have lunch in Sopuak, you may need to deal with it yourself."

"Then it's settled!" Emma, ​​who looked like she was about to cry just now, suddenly became brighter and said happily to Levi.

Emma's face changed so quickly that Levi didn't even understand what happened for a while, and was petrified there.

"Uh, Emma," he pointed mechanically at the untouched dishes in front of him, "What about these?"

Emma had jumped up from her chair and was running to her room like a cheerful bird. When she heard Levi's words, she turned around and smiled particularly innocently.

"Throw it all away, I've tasted it anyway," she stuck out her tongue, "I can't stand it either..."

After saying that, he trotted back to the room.

Only then did Li Wei realize that the expectation, pitifulness, and helplessness she had just felt were all just an act of hers. That little girl, from the very beginning, her purpose was to get him to offer to cook for her...

.

She tricked her again, this girl...

He began to feel that he must have been kicked in the head by a donkey for his decision to take her in yesterday...

※※※※※※

Although the breakfast episode made Levi a little unhappy, he still had to cook for himself even if Emma was away anyway. It was just adding a pair of chopsticks, and there was actually no substantial loss.

After making breakfast again and solving the food problem, Levi went out.

It is already mid-June, the time when the heat is at its worst. Fortunately, England is surrounded by water. The water vapor from the North Atlantic makes the climate here milder. Even in midsummer, it is not unbearably hot.
p>

The shrubs on both sides of the road have reached their most luxuriant season, and the originally low vegetation has expanded aggressively, invading the roadside.

Young people in twos and threes walk together in such a season, either rushing to a sports field or a park green space, unscrupulously displaying their youth.

Levi is naturally not blessed to experience the beauty of this holiday. For him, there is nothing more important than quickly improving his strength.

Therefore, he has been looking forward to the special training that his boss mentioned repeatedly for a long time.

When we arrived at Sopuak, Coach David was already waiting there.

"Coach, I'm late."

"No," David glanced at his watch, "You are 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled time. It was me who came early. However, since we are already here, let's not waste time and let's get started."
p>

"Okay."

David took Levi to the center of the training ground, where there were already many humanoid piles and triangular cones.

"Li, before we start, let me briefly introduce the special training plan to you." David picked up a football and held it in his hand. "The training plan I gave you before is completely a template for a defensive midfielder."<

/p>

"We all agree that you still have a lot of potential that can be tapped in the offensive aspect, so the primary purpose of the special training is to train you in offensive techniques."

"However, defensive training cannot be left behind. Normal training takes up a large part of the time because team training takes up a lot of time. Now the training is much simpler and mainly focuses on your personal abilities."

"In addition, we have selected for you some game videos of stars that are suitable for you. Some are in the same position or style as you, and some may be your opponents. Moreover, unlike the usual ones before, we will give you homework.

”

"Li, I must remind you that the intensity of this training program is far beyond the endurance of ordinary young players, and even more intense than Premier League players." David's expression was quite solemn, "We think your physical fitness is very good.

Only then is it possible to withstand it. But it is only possible. You still have a great risk of injury, or it may have an adverse impact on your condition."

"So, are you willing to accept this special training?"

"Of course, I am willing. I think there is no reason to prevent me from participating in it." Levi replied firmly.

"Haha, Eddie told me that you must have this reaction and you won't have any hesitation." David smiled and then returned to seriousness, "But I still want to remind you that if you feel discomfort during training, you must immediately

Suspended. We don’t want to bet the future of any young player, do you understand?”

"Okay."

"Let's get started," David took out his whistle, "first warm up, and then, you know, five kilometers."

※※※※※※

Even though it is a specialized training, it still starts with physical fitness. This is all because in Eddie Gray's theory, technical training is effective only when physical fitness is exhausted to a certain extent.

However, with Levi's physical fitness and the fact that he missed many games due to injury, it can be said that he has been holding back his energy, so this physical training is naturally not a problem.

David looked at Levi approvingly. Of course he knew that his whistle was much harder than usual training, but under such intensity, Levi still didn't blush or breath, except for his physical ability.

In addition, it also shows that after the injury and during the week of vacation, he did not relax his demands on himself.

Such professionalism is really rare!

"Okay, Lee, now we start dribbling training. Although dribbling is not the most important skill for midfielders, holding the ball is the basis of all offenses," David put the ball on Levi

In front of him, "In the past few games, your ball protection was very good. We don't care what extra training you have done, but now, let's take a look at your level first."
