After the first stage of training, Zhang Sheng put a lot of effort into the physical training of the players. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Leutard and Zettel Meisel have also shown what it takes to be high-level strength and conditioning coaches. Especially in the matter of nutritious meals, Zhang Sheng, who just swore that nutritious meals were not delicious, was slapped in the face.

In Zhang Sheng's impression, all nutritious meals are nothing more than a light appetite, less oil and less salt that make it difficult to swallow. The person who makes the nutritious meal will strictly control all kinds of energy sources, and will calculate the composition of various carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and trace elements like doing arithmetic problems, and then put these things together and cook them together to make a qualified nutritious meal.

But in the club's kitchen, Leutard's words made Zhang Sheng's view completely change: "Nutritious meals are not what they are imagined from the outside. In addition to the boiled white meat and pasta, the players also want to eat something else, they need foods that complement their daily carbohydrate intake, and in this regard, Asalad of Pearl Barley or Couscous can meet their needs perfectly. ”

Zhang Sheng was very interested in this, he asked: "Then when will our team's recipe be specified, I also want to see these special nutritious meals." ”

Leutard, who had the seriousness characteristic of the Germans, shook his head seriously and said: "There is no such thing as a universal plan. ”

Zhang Sheng was confused by his words and looked at him in surprise.

Seeing Zhang Sheng's appearance, Leutard said with a smile: "There are 100 favorite dishes for 100 players, some people may like meat, some people may like fish or vegetables, and some people have a small snack that loves sweets." As a qualified professional footballer nutritionist, I have always believed in one saying: no matter what, you can only eat healthy if you eat happily. ”

Zhang Sheng said incredulously: "Do you want to prepare different nutritious meals for each player?"

Leutard took it for granted: "Shouldn't this be the case? Isn't this our job?" After speaking, he handed a document to Zhang Sheng, "Here are different nutritious meals that I have designated after communicating with all the players through the translator, combined with their favorite foods and appetites. In terms of ingredients, we hope that the club will cooperate with us. ”

After saying this, Leutard picked up a glass of juice beside him and said, "Come and try this, this is also part of a nutritious meal." See how it tastes. ”

Looking at the colorful juices, Zhang Sheng immediately had the urge to taste it, and after taking a big sip, Zhang Sheng gave Leutard a thumbs up.

Loitard laughed, "Well, it tastes good." Don't underestimate this glass of juice. He is a well-known expert in sports nutrition, the 'magic juice' specially prepared by the Spaniard Antonio Esclivano. He is a recognised expert in his field and has advised and assisted top clubs such as Atletico Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur and Sevilla. This 'magic juice' is made by mixing bananas, oranges, apples, peaches, melons and 2% fructose in milk or water. But his prices are also cheaper than the isotonic sports drinks sold in stores. I also stole it from him. ”

Zhang Sheng is really convinced, it seems that in the sport of football, developed football countries have studied it very deeply. Domestic football is lagging behind a lot in every aspect.

Sure enough, in the next physical recovery period, Liu Xing, Deng Chaoqun and Gao Jun were completely fascinated by the rich and diverse nutritious meals. So much so that they said behind their backs: "The boss actually fooled us, saying that the nutritious meal is not delicious, I think it is better than those chefs." ”

Sure enough, in the high-intensity physical training during the recovery period, the players adapted well to the physical requirements of the game, and even the three players who obviously did not maintain good health also met the standard.

After being exposed to physical training, Zhang Sheng took the team to the Haigeng base in Kunming.

At the Haigeng base, Zhang Sheng found that it was not as lively as before. The big iron gate of the Haigeng base was so open, and the famous wolf dog guarding the door was nowhere to be seen. Through the personnel of the Haigeng Base Management Office, Zhang Sheng learned that there are only 3 Chinese Super League teams R&F, Shen Xin, and Renhe in the winter training of the Haigeng Base this year. However, there are a full 6 teams in the Central League here. The Dragons are late.

Since the Haigeng base was officially put into use in 1975, it has witnessed the development of China's sports industry, especially the football industry.

In the spring of 1994, Haigeng base became famous for mandatory spring training and "yoyo test", and the 90s of the last century was the heyday of Haigeng, and a large number of players, coaches, reporters, and fans flocked to Haigeng every offseason, when Haigeng was the "holy land" of Chinese football. However, in recent years, the lively scene of "Eight Thousand Feet on the Plateau" is long gone, and the female fans chasing stars on the side of the training ground have also disappeared.

Since 2011, the Haigeng base has undergone some upgrades and adjustments, and the conditions here have been greatly invested and improved, but the lingering "local taste" has made the domestic football team no longer rush to it, and it can be said that the car is sparse in front of the door. The teams of the Chinese Super League basically chose the overseas training with "full of foreign flavor".

However, it is a good place for the lower Central League teams. The Longteng team, who came late, contacted Zhang Tianyou, the deputy director of the base, through a relationship, and got a good site for maintenance.

At the Haigeng base, Zhang Sheng began the tactical training before the new season. After nearly two weeks of tactical drills, Zhang Sheng began to contact the Chinese League and Chinese Super League teams in Haigeng for warm-up matches.

The first contact was Chongqing Lifan. Chongqing Lifan finished fifth in the Chinese League last season, but they are only one point behind Fujian Junhao in third place and the same point as Harbin Yiteng in fourth place. It should be said that the strength is still good among the teams in the Chinese League.

However, the head coach of Lifan is no longer Tang Yaodong that Zhang Sheng met last year, and now he has become the old handsome Wang Baoshan. Tang Yaodong returned to Henan Jianye to lead the team to carry out the task of surpassing.

In this warm-up game, Zhang Sheng sent all 4 foreign aides into battle, and at the same time implemented new tactics. In the first half, the double serve was 1:1.In the second half, the double serve began to make a large number of substitutions, Zhang Sheng let several new players who had just entered the team this season, including Zou Weijia and Zhu Xuhe, all of them go on the court to familiarize themselves with the tactics, and finally lost the game 1:3 because the team's run-in was not enough.

Next, the Longteng team and several Chinese Super League and Chinese League A teams trained in Haigeng played warm-up matches, and they have maintained a rhythm of one game every three days. It was not until February 8, two days before the Chinese New Year's Eve, that the Longteng team led the team back to Jiangcheng, and also gave the players four weeks of vacation to go home for the New Year.

Zhang Sheng, who returned to Jiangcheng, was completely relaxed for a few days, in addition to accompanying his parents and wife at home, Zhang Sheng just called a few old friends to pay a New Year's visit, and the only way to go out was to visit Professor Xie of Jiangcheng Sports Institute with good wine. At Professor Xie's house, Zhang Sheng was praised by Professor Xie for a long time. In addition to the good results of the Longteng team, Professor Xie attaches the most importance to Zhang Sheng's cultivation of young players, according to Professor Xie, a successful young player training system is far more important than temporary good results. Although the scholarly atmosphere of these words was too strong, Zhang Sheng did not refute his old man, after all, this system was also what Zhang Sheng had always wanted to establish.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, when most of the people were still immersed in the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, Zhang Sheng had already taken the team to the Guardian Football Base in Haikou. There are also a lot of winter training teams at the Guardian base, many of which come back after returning home from the Kunming Haigeng base for the Chinese New Year, because the temperature here is warmer than Kunming.

At the Guardian base, the Longteng team still maintains the rhythm of a warm-up game in 3-4 days. When the team was in the warm-up game, Zhang Sheng was also slowly adjusting the team's various tactical details, and at the same time, Zhang Sheng also summarized the new players.

Zhang Sheng, a few new players who entered the first team this time, is very satisfied, especially the new left wing-back Wei Zhimin and the young player Yao Tian in the middle of the midfield. After half a season of training with the team, the basic skills of these two players have been greatly improved, and their good foot skills have allowed the two of them to integrate into the team very quickly. According to this trend, the main left wing-back Zhou Hai will gradually lose his main position. It's just a pity that Wei Zhimin and Yao Tian are only 17 years old now, and they can't play in the first team immediately, and they need to be honed in the reserve team for a while.

The investigation of the four foreign aid is also the focus of Zhang Sheng. Judging from the results of the winter training and warm-up matches, it should be said that there are mixed blessings. The joy is that Mahrez and McGovern are the two men.

Mahrez's style of play is very compatible with the tactics of the Dragons. Because he is not physically strong, he mainly relies on technique and movement to play football. In terms of passing-receiving and running without the ball, Mahrez's advantage is very obvious. And one thing is that Mahrez can play the left and right wings of the midfield at the same time, and the performance on both sides is very eye-catching, his left cross and the right side of the inside cut can be said to be very sharp, and it is no wonder that Barcelona in the future also wants to take him away from Foxes City at a high price.

McGovern is a reflection of his physical advantages, 191 height combined with a strong body, in the warm-up game to make all the Chinese League and Chinese Super League teams black and hard foreign aid helpless. Not only that, but his tackles are very clean, and he is a reliable member of the backline when Li Yun is not around.

Ivo's performance is relatively mediocre, and he did not show the highlight performance of Henan Jianye in later generations, of course, this is also related to the short time he has been in the team, judging from Ivo's current performance, it should be said that he is still slowly integrating into the team.

The only thing that worries Zhang is N'Golo Kante, who has no problems in defence, game commitment and teamwork, but his passing skills do need to be improved. It is true that Kante in later generations is not known for his good passing, but more for his high success rate in tackles and good dribbling skills at his feet. Zhang Sheng decided to let Kante play as a substitute for the time being, focusing on improving his passing skills first. (To be continued.) )
