"Wow, your butt is as big as Dilata's!"

Seeing Tang Long leave after speaking, Sterling let out a long sigh of relief. It turned out he was overthinking.

However, his eyes rolled around, quickly dried himself with a towel, put on clothes, and went to the locker room seat before Tang Long left.

"Tang, I have something to tell you..."

Sterling poured out his confusion about his butt development to Tang Long, like beans spilling out of a bamboo tube.

Ever since Tang Long squeezed Milner, the football bully, out and assisted Sterling twice on the field, the Englishman was in complete admiration of Tang Long.

Now, the England Gang leader, Joe Hart, had fallen out of favor, removed by Pellegrini from the league's starting lineup, while Delph remained an eternal substitute.

Seeing the England Gang gradually weaken within Manchester City, Sterling was even more determined to cling to Tang Long's thigh.

Sterling also noticed a detail that puzzled him.

Tang Long's height and physique, in a Premier League team, could only be considered average;

Yet, he never suffered any disadvantage in physical confrontations during matches.

There's a sense of flexibility within strength during confrontations, no matter how opponents press or collide, he can always resolve it stably without losing ground.

This was in stark contrast to the awkwardness Sterling displayed in confrontations.

Tang Long listened while nodding frequently.

He roughly figured out what it meant.

"You do this—squat like a horse stance and stick your butt out, let me have a good look."

Sterling, without much thought, followed Tang Long's method to squat in a horse stance and tried to stick his butt out.

Tang Long watched for a while and shook his head, saying it wasn't right.

"Take off your trousers, I can't scan properly like this."

"Uh..."

Since Tang Long and Sterling both engaged in some extra training after their session, the locker room now only had the two of them left.

Sterling hesitated for a moment, pondering what kind of scan?

But still followed Tang Long's instructions, took off his trousers, and exposed his bare butt to Tang Long.

Then Tang Long began using the advanced stage of the Green Grass Wisdom Engine system in his mind to scan Sterling's butt.

It lasted for a full 10 minutes.

Sterling, in this weird half-kneeling posture, couldn't help his legs from shaking.

"Is it done yet, Tang? My legs are about to break..."

Tang Long knowingly nodded.

"Sterling, your large butt is both a disadvantage and a significant advantage. Do you remember what Yaya Toure said? He mentioned a player's strongest muscle is his buttock; if used well, your butt can be your lethal weapon!"

"Toure said that? When did he say it?" Sterling looked puzzled.

"I'll take you to find Toure. He's probably still doing extra training, let's go!"

...

The large training field had only Toure left doing recovery slow-running.

The tense atmosphere inside Manchester City still lingered.

Toure was clearly unwilling to be left behind, especially understanding that as a 32-year-old veteran, even slight relaxation could cost him the pace against the younger teammates, so he had to exert 120% effort to ensure he wouldn't fall behind.

With a contract year for an extension, Toure was striving hard!

Just as Toure finished his slow run, drenched in sweat and ready to head to the locker room for a shower, he saw Tang Long bringing Sterling over.

"Weren't you guys leaving? How come you're back for extra training?"

Though he said you guys, Toure's wary gaze was solely fixed on Tang Long.

Tang Long smiled and told Toure they were about to leave, but Sterling wanted advice on how to use the backside effectively in kicking, and Sterling quickly followed up, humbly seeking guidance from Toure.

Sterling, being a striker, had body conditions and football thinking that weren't suited for playing as a midfielder, so Toure's attitude toward him was relatively friendly.

Especially when it came to buttock techniques, Toure was the best in Europe and had even demonstrated the moves on camera for UEFA instructional video makers.

A surge of pride rose naturally.

"Haha, using the butt in football is my forte, mainly evident in ball shielding."

Toure pulled a ball with his foot, motioned Sterling to approach.

"The butt is the strongest muscle part of a player's body, during shielding, you should do like this."

1 meter 72 Sterling approached 190 Toure, just getting close, and Toure swung his arm, knocking Sterling's hand away, then turning, using his butt to push Sterling's waist, running with the ball.

Sterling made several defensive attempts but got bumped hard by Toure, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Did you see? The butt's strength is terrific, the key is how you use it."

Stopping here, Toure continued to tell Sterling:

"However, our body conditions differ greatly—I'm tall and strong, while you're short! Therefore, I suggest not seeking such butt striking moves during confrontations. It's best to use your speed to bypass opponents in the Premier League confrontations, or you'll lose. Every player must learn to leverage strengths and avoid weaknesses."

Toure spoke truthfully.

Sterling watched Toure's tall, mountain-like back leave, somewhat despondent, he said to Tang Long:

"Toure's shielding is indeed good, but he's inherently tall and strong, I can't compare to him."

Tang Long smiled, waved it off, then put his arm around Sterling's neck.

"Don't listen to him, let me teach you how to leverage your backside based on your body condition—you only need two moves."

...

Sunday night, Premier League round 12, Manchester City hosted Norwich!

This season, Norwich stands mid-table. Many said the initial relegation goals set were too conservative, as they should set higher, perhaps aiming for UEFA Europa League qualifiers isn't impossible.

Three hours before the match, Tang Long received a text from former teammate Yuto Nagatomo on the bus.

Yuto Nagatomo, this season, served as Norwich's main left-back, playing a full 90 minutes in each of the first 10 rounds, truly an iron man;

Except in the previous round, the head coach subbed him out at 70 minutes.

Clearly, it was to preserve energy for tonight's match against Manchester City!

He performed well offensively, delivering 2 goals and 3 assists with impressive stats, and his left-side route was also Norwich's main attacking point.

"Tang, your Manchester City winning the title doesn't depend on this match, spare us tonight!"

Tang Long replied: "Didn't you tell reporters before that you understand my features fully and narrated them to the whole Norwich team? Since you're fighting hard, I can't afford to spare you!"
