Chapter 817 11: New Skills and New Plans? Isabella's Surprise and Fiery Youth! Morocco Conference Center!_2

In the upcoming training, Ma'el added passing and shooting into the group training session, first to personally feel whether he could sense the presence of additional skills.

By this afternoon, the feeling of shooting with both feet seemed to have slight changes, although he wasn't sure.

As for passing, there wasn't any noticeable change yet; perhaps this skill, unlike shooting, isn't something that can be trained alone, simulating real scenarios with markers and controlling the quality.

"Jose!"

During lunch in the afternoon, Ma'el called out to Jose, asking him to help in devising a training plan for these two skills.

"Adding more?"

Jose was a bit surprised this time. The current Ma'el is different from before; he is already a representative of an all-round forward and a super striker dominating the Premier League.

At this point, pursuing new abilities and seeking diversified improvements might seem unnecessary.

"Actually, Davis and I both believe, you don't need to train for anything anymore. You are already perfect."

Jose took out his notebook and jotted down what Ma'el said, "Although this might cost us our jobs, I still have to say... Don't you think, at the moment, adjusting your state is the priority?"

Ma'el saw him still preparing and didn't say much, just slightly shook his head.

"It's just..." Jose organized his thoughts and said, "We understand your physical metrics well, and through your performance on the field, we can firmly judge that you definitely have the capability to compete with Messi and Ronaldo.

"This might even be a conservative statement. Frankly, I think you have already surpassed them.

"Currently, you should actually be focusing all your energy on recovery training and state adjustment, also on preventing injuries, developing commercial value, and marketing PR and such aspects.

"As long as you maintain a positive mood and good state, ensuring that you can utilize all your skills, you can directly challenge for the top 1. Time will slowly grant you a good result.

"Furthermore, you have come so far through years of effort; it's time to gain more wealth through endeavors in marketing and other areas. This is a harvest moment that many people dream of."

Jose continued saying a lot; after following Ma'el for such a long time, his relationship with this young employer wasn't far different from that with Harry and Safina.

"You're very right."

Ma'el did not deny him but still shared his thoughts, "However, for me, now might not be the time to fully enjoy competition and pursue economic benefits, I believe I still have a journey ahead.

"Of course, this only means I will keep moving forward, not disregarding those aspects you mentioned.

"Did you notice, I've already been balancing doing everything you mentioned.

"It's just..."

Seeing him struggling to articulate, Jose chuckled and added, "It's just you aren't willing to let go and want to continue this tough and tiring life."

"Haha..."

Ma'el laughed, shrugging his shoulders and said, "Heaven gave me a great opportunity, my 'talent' allows me to see a different path, with the prospect of reaching heights unlike anyone else.

"Since that's the case, of course, I want to put in more effort, strive further forward until I see the finish line."

"For you, what is the finish line?" Jose asked curiously.

"The finish line."

Ma'el seriously thought for a moment; he seldom replied to others without thinking, "Two, actually. One is my personal limit, and the other is the limit of all football players past and present."

Jose smiled faintly, "I don't know about the latter, but for the former, with your attitude, it's certainly achievable."

"I suppose, the day I reach my personal limit..."

Ma'el stepped upstairs, midway he looked at Jose with a firm gaze and a smile, "Will be the day when I reach the limit of all football players, just wait for it, Jose!"

"Hahaha...!" Jose laughed heartily, which wasn't mocking, but marveling at Ma'el's grand ambitions.

Ma'el laughed along with him, to avoid making these words seem too peculiar, too deliberate; he had long been accustomed to expressing his true thoughts in a joking manner.

...

Starting the next day, he launched systematic training in comprehensive passing and shooting abilities.

Jose again corrected some of his details from the side, occasionally explaining loudly on the training field, "The football is out of control! Did you notice, when you flicked with your toe, you seemed to lag behind the ball.

"Your dribbling is so good, don't worry, just ensure your support foot is stable!

"Sometimes trying too hard on new moves can make you temporarily forget previous moves, don't do that."

"....."

"Height isn't right! Ah... This one's a bit too high, really find the feeling of delivering force, find that finesse!"

"....."

"Did you see, there are three marker cones here, treat them as three defenders, we need to use various high-pass moves to conduct two-against-one, keeping the ball in the air during the pass.

"Instep, outside of the foot, even heel, and toe can be used, as long as you achieve the two-against-one effect."

"....."

"Pass... Pass... Yeah... Beautiful! You have a foundation in fancy skills, practice this and you'll be quick."

"....."

"Flick with the outside of the foot! Oh... So close! This passing method is actually very important; sometimes when you don't have time to turn, flicking back with the outside foot in the air can instantly open up the play."

"..."

Actually, being a private technical coach doesn't necessarily mean you have to be very good at a specific technical move; finding such a versatile expert is impossible...Jose certainly isn't such an expert either.
