Super Storm

On July 13th, Monday, Real Madrid pre-season training camp start day.

More than an hour before the team reported, Yang Yang came to Valdebebas in advance.

His current identity is not only a player, he is also the chief assistant coach of Real Madrid first team.

Although he has not passed the exam and received a coaching qualification certificate, it is only a matter of time. Real Madrid has not announced the specific position of Yang Yang, but this does not prevent everyone from accepting this fact.

At most, he couldn't sit beside Zidane.

But this is not important because he is a player and he is going to play.

Yang Yang has entered the pre-season training in advance in the past few days, which is his usual habit.

After arriving in Valdebebas, he first went to the locker room to prepare and then went to the gym, and again met Antonio Pintos, Real Madrid's new season physical fitness coach.

Pintus's coaching experience is very rich. He used to work for Juventus for seven years. During this period, he experienced the two coaches of Trapattoni and Lippi but did not fall. Both were reused by these two gold coaches. He followed Viali to Chelsea for coaching, and then worked in England, Italy and the Russian national team successively. His work experience is extremely brilliant.

In the summer of this year, Pintos had already signed with Lyon, but because of Real Madrid's horizontal bar, the Italian gold medal physical coach changed his mind and switched to Real Madrid. Real Madrid also sent Manuel for this purpose. · Redondo went to negotiate with Lyon's Chairman Olas and compensated a penalty, before letting Pintos come to Madrid.

Like Zidane, Pintus is also a bald head. At first glance, it looks like a bald referee Corina. The one-meter-seven or so head looks a little thin and has white short hair, as if to remind Everyone, he is in his fifties.

Earlier, when he saw Pintus for the first time, Yang Yang was very surprised, because he found that Pintus even had equipment training in the gym, and the training intensity was not small. This was really the first time.

Over the years, Yang Yang has also insisted on equipment training, and naturally has a sense of closeness to Pintus. Later, I heard that the staff of Valdebebas said that the first thing after Pintus came to Real Madrid was to put the training base The training equipment is practiced in person, and they all look very professional.

Yang Yang did not believe this, so after seeing Pintus in the gym, he competed with the Italian fitness coach. The final result was of course Yang Yang won, but he really started to admire Pintus. .

In his fifties, it is not easy to maintain his training intensity and enthusiasm.

After the training, the two had a long conversation. Pintus not only had his own unique understanding in physical training, but also had his own uniqueness in the player's physical reserve and training methods. His experience was extremely rich, and countless details were handy. It proves that he not only can teach, but he can do it himself.

From Ajax to Liverpool to Real Madrid, Yang Yang has never encountered a physical coach who can train with the players in person. This has made his impression of Pintus even further.

...

Since today is the camp day, Pintus is no longer exercising as before, but is preparing for training.

Yang Yang went to the gym alone for more than half an hour of strength equipment training, and not long after, Ramos and Marcelo also came. The two of them were the team ’s head and deputy captains. They received calls from Yang Yang in the morning. .

Ramos's contract has not been negotiated, but he has been performing the duties of the team captain these days, such as attending the signing ceremony of Asencio and Vallejo, actively helping Casemiro contact the house, etc. Wait, these are the duties of his captain.

Marcelo was Madrid who returned only yesterday, and the kid became fat as soon as he was on holiday.

This summer is the America ’s Cup year, but Marcelo was unable to participate due to injury. He also took a full rest for more than a month. As a result, this guy returned to the team, and the whole person became fat. control.

"You guy ..." Yang Yang pointed to Marcelo and shook his head in a speechless smile.

Brazil ’s explosive head chuckled indifferently, “Relax, I ’m sure to reduce to the best state before the season.”

For him, it was already a routine operation.

Almost every time he goes on holiday, he will exceed the standard, but he is also very hard to train and can always recover quickly.

"This year is different from previous years." Yang Yang reminded kindly.

"What's the difference?" Marcelo was curious.

Before Yang Yang answered, Ramos nodded and said, "Yeah, I also looked at Pintus' training plan, typical Italian devil training, but it was terrifying to see."

"Really?" Marcello was suspicious after listening to it.

Yang Yang chuckled, "He told me that he hopes the players will average 13,000 games per game in the new season. Are you serious?"

"What? Thirteen thousand?" Marcelo was stunned.

Thirteen thousand kilometers, and it's an average. This is definitely a deadly rhythm.

Ramos sighed, "There are too few off-ball exercises. I don't think it matches our style."

As a Spaniard, don't look at Ramos's brave style on the court, but in fact, he has a good footwork. He still has Spain's perseverance in ball control in his bones, especially in ball training.

"On this point, I talked with Pintus very deeply. He thinks that football training in these years is a bit biased."

This topic is very big and strange, but it is closely related to professional players. Ramos and Marcelo are very interested.

"Since Guardiola coached Barcelona, ​​passing the ball has increasingly affected all aspects of professional football. This is an epoch-making change. We must admit it, but we must also pay attention to it. Every ball starts now. The teams are all talking about the right to the ball, they are all emphasizing pass control, even the training is emphasizing ball training, and the court is emphasizing small-scale cooperation. This is inappropriate. "

"Each team has its own characteristics, Barcelona is suitable, we may not be suitable for Real Madrid, and other teams may not be suitable, so all we need to do is to absorb nutrients that are beneficial to us, but at the same time we must maintain our advantage. . "

"Pintus also believes that the reason why Guardiola's Barcelona can be strong is that the player's ability and the pass and control system are the key, but the player's excellent physical fitness is the basis. Without good physical strength to back up, Barcelona cannot play every game. The game has ran out of such excellent data, and it is impossible to run out of so many opportunities. "

This point, whether it is Ramos or Marcelo, feels the same, this is a fact that has been recognized in the professional field.

Otherwise, how to explain that after Xavi and Iniesta grow old, Barcelona's system advantage will be greatly reduced immediately?

"Football games, physical fitness is the foundation of the foundation, and for a team like ours Real Madrid, it is even more so."

After a pause, Yang Yang said again: "We have an advantage in technology and an advantage in strength. As long as we can run, not to mention more than our opponents, as long as we run as many as our opponents, then we can rely on technology and strength. Advantage, completely wipe out the opponent. "

"That's great!" Ramos couldn't help but slap his thigh hard.

Yang Yang's remarks can be said to be concise and concise, but he fully expressed the advantages of Real Madrid.

The reason why Real Madrid suffered a trough last season is that almost every game is due to the players running, so that many media are attacking the running distance of Real Madrid players. The total number is calculated, which is nearly ten kilometers worse than the opponent, which is One less person.

This is very illustrative.

The current football game is to see who can run, run more, run smarter, if you refuse to run, run less, then it is regarded as a team like Real Madrid, it will still be Valencia, even the middle and lower teams It was so embarrassing and even defeated.

Both Yang Yang and Zidane understand this problem very well, so they strongly urge Real Madrid's management to sign Pintus, and even pay a penalty for him, because physical fitness is the basis of the football game and is the key.

Signing an excellent fitness coach is, to a certain extent, more valuable than signing a superstar.

Of course, this is not to say that Real Madrid will be able to dominate by signing Pintus.

It can only be said that the arrival of Pintus is laying a solid foundation for Real Madrid's physical fitness.

"The reason why I took the initiative to invite you today is to hope that we can reach a consensus in advance." Yang Yang stared at the two Real Madrid captains and deputy captains in front of him. "We should set an example for the team and take the lead, at least not to hinder, right?" ? "

Ramos and Marcelo glanced at each other, both of them nodded, but the Brazilian left guard was bitter and even regretted.

I knew early on that when he was on vacation, he should eat less and drink less, and take some time every day to practice.

With his current physical condition, needless to say, it will definitely be the worst in the team.

"I can foresee that Pintus's training method is more Italian, more training without ball, more running, less training with ball, pre-season training will carry out a lot of high-intensity physical training, which for our players, will It is quite a challenge, and there will certainly be many people complaining. "

When Ramos heard this, he looked at Marcelo sympathetically, who immediately waved his hand, "Relax, even if I practice vomiting blood, I will definitely hold it up and never lose face."

He is the deputy captain of the team, and he has a face!

If he couldn't hold it himself, would this vice captain still have a face?

Yang Yang and Ramos couldn't help but smile, but they also believed Marcelo could do it.

He has extensive experience in weight loss.

"During the pre-season training period, there will definitely be a lot of teammates who ca n’t bear it, ca n’t stand it, or even have emotions, which requires us to do a good job, appease the locker room, and must not mess up, especially affecting the team. Unity. "

For the unity and harmony of the team's locker room, Yang Yang has always been in the first place, and even he has done a good job. If there is a large-scale protest, if necessary, he will also recommend Pintus to adjust the training plan.

But before that, it must be forced to squeeze out the player's potential and limit as much as possible.
