Chapter 11 Cell Regeneration
There were not many people at the Qingshan Middle School football field on Sunday morning. Apart from Jiang Yuan, there were some children living in the school and the teachers' families.

Jiang Yuan changed into his sneakers in the equipment room as usual. Learning from his previous mistakes, Jiang Yuan brought some quick-drying clothes from home this week so as not to get his school uniform dirty during training.

Otherwise, sitting in the classroom all wet and sticky is not a good thing.

Jiang Yuan had just thrown the football to the ground and kicked it a few times when the system's voice came.

[Host actively rolls inward, reward module starts]

[Complete any 2-hour ball practice, cell regeneration directly eliminates the host's fatigue]

"Status refresh..."

Jiang Yuan nodded. This reward was very timely. Jiang Yuan still hasn't recovered from the sudden high-intensity training in the past two days.

Jiang Yuan felt fine mentally and had a good sleep yesterday.

But the muscles on the front of the thigh are really hard, and feel like a piece of stone when you hit them.

The muscle mucosa on the outer layer of the bones will be forced to tighten after continuous exercise, which will not only make Jiang Yuan feel pain, but the most fatal thing is that the tightening of the muscle mucosa will greatly reduce the elasticity of the muscles.

This is also why the front of Jiang Yuan’s thigh is now painful and hard.

Actually, this is not anyone else's fault. Jiang Yuan suddenly increased the intensity of his training but neglected to relax his muscles, which is why he is now in excruciating pain all over his body.

However, the good news is that warm-up can help loosen muscle fascia. Jiang Yuan only needs to warm up his body before formal training, and the pain will be reduced.

Jiang Yuan thought about it and decided to practice shuttle runs with the ball. The speed didn't need to be too fast, but the time should be a little longer.

Now the starting speed is Jiang Yuan’s advantage. For the upcoming provincial competition, Jiang Yuan still needs to strengthen this advantage.

After all...the situation in the provincial supermarket is very complicated.

“Hoo, ho, ho—”

Jiang Yuan put on his football shoes and ran back and forth, his sweat falling on the grass like fertilizer.

Qingshan Middle School has always attached great importance to its football team and renovated the field overnight last night.

Not much was done, just planting some natural grass, but the visual change was strong.

The football field now looks like a game field, no longer all uneven and jagged as before.

The benefits of field optimization to football teams are also obvious - the pressure on their knees will be reduced.

Soon, Jiang Yuan was almost covered in sweat after running, and the soreness in his thigh had disappeared.

But Jiang Yuan's experience told him that the disappearance of the pain was only temporary, and he must get the system's reward as soon as possible to completely eliminate the fatigue accumulated over the past two days.

So Jiang Yuan started practicing dribbling.

Physical fitness and IQ determine a player's upper limit, but to determine his lower limit, we must look at his skills.

No matter what, it's always a good idea to practice your footwork.

Compared with the mainstream strong teams in America and Europe, the footwork skills of Chinese football players are more than one level lower.

Jiang Yuan can be said to be the student player with the best foot skills in the entire Qingshan City. Despite this, he still makes mistakes when stopping some long passes.

Especially when you are nervous during a game, it is possible that the ball will stop three meters away and you will lose the ball directly.

Now Jiang Yuan has the templates of Mbappe and Ronaldo, so he must be prepared for unilateral bursts. In addition to the absolute speed of the player, the ability to stop high-altitude long passes is also very critical.

Due to the current limitations, Jiang Yuan can only practice dribbling. As for stopping the ball, he has to wait for his teammates to come to school.

In this way, Jiang Yuan started to practice dribbling. There were not many movements, just some small-range passing of the ball between the left and right feet, and some ability to protect the ball.

As for those fancy moves, they are indeed cool, but the time cost of training those skills is too high, and there are many restrictions on their use, so the effort is far from enough to justify the rewards.

Jiang Yuan is a practical person. He will first get his feel for the ball right and leave things like the "Marseille Turn" for later.

……

“Hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo!”

[You have completed two hours of ball practice, and muscle cell regeneration is complete.] As soon as the news of completing the task reached Jiang Yuan's mind, Jiang Yuan sat down on the grass and lay down.

Two hours of continuous training is no joke, but my thighs were pretty well behaved and didn’t hurt much.

But because he kept dribbling with his head down, Jiang Yuan's neck was so sore that it made a "cracking" sound every time he raised his head.

Fortunately, there was a system reward. As soon as Jiang Yuan lay down, he felt a tingling electric current spread throughout his body, and then the pain disappeared instantly. Even the thigh muscles that were originally as hard as stone were now as soft as water.

Comparing muscles to water means that Jiang Yuan's body is now completely relaxed and his muscles have reached their maximum elasticity.

This feeling is really wonderful. I just finished the hard training and now I feel relaxed, basking in the sun and lying on the soft grass.

Suddenly, the sun above Jiang Yuan’s head disappeared.

"The sun has set?"

Jiang Yuan got up puzzled, only to find that it was Jin Junjie who had blocked his sunlight.

"Fuck, why are you in school?"

Jin Junjie ate the black rice ball and laughed: "The first game starts on Tuesday, and we agreed to practice more today!"

"Looking at you, you've been secretly taking advantage of us for at least an hour, right?"

Jin Junjie looked Jiang Yuan up and down.

"An extra practice session?"

"Who asked?"

Jiang Yuan murmured.

"Brother Yuan, you made an appointment with us, but you forgot about it?"

Jin Junjie cast a puzzled look at Jiang Yuan, then reached out and touched Jiang Yuan's forehead.

"Damn, it's so hot, do you have a fever?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said unhappily: "What kind of fever is this? This is caused by the sun. Why are you touching my hair?"

Jiang Yuan grabbed Jin Junjie's hand and put it on his hair, which immediately made Jin Junjie scream.

"How long have you been practicing? Your brain is so cooked!"

Jiang Yuan curled his lips: "Not much, maybe two hours."

"I understand that you're competing for the provincial competition, but how did you get in? The guards wouldn't let you in before 12 o'clock, right?"

Jin Junjie said while chewing the rice ball in his hand.

"That's easy. I just shook the guard off."

Jiang Yuan looked calm and composed.

"..."

Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Jin Junjie's mouth, which was chewing the rice ball, suddenly stopped moving. Then he gave Jiang Yuan a thumbs up. It's okay to make soup on the court, but he also makes soup off the court!

"Let's not talk about this. How many people will come at noon today?"

"Everyone will be here, including the seniors. Oh, and the coach too! I feel like Coach He and Brother Kang will be planning the tactics for today!"

Luo Kang is the assistant coach of the football team, and He Qiongshan is the head coach.

Although there is a distinction between the chief and the deputy, their responsibilities are not much different during actual training, except that He Qiongshan has the decision-making power in the competition.

"Oh?"

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
