"So who the hell is your boss?" Feng Quan asked.

"My boss's name is Diego Simeone." Carlos Menendez said with a smile.

"Hey, why didn't you say it earlier, I thought you were a telecom fraudster just now." Feng Quan said with some embarrassment.

"Hehe, there must be a lot of fraudsters in China, right?" Carlos Menendez teased.

"Uh...... It's okay too. After a slight pause, Feng Quan continued, "Mr. Menendez, can you help me get in touch with Diego?" I called his cell phone, but he didn't answer. ”

Carlos Menéndez: "Oh, yes, this afternoon we have the first round of La Liga. As our team's first game was away to Sevilla, Diego was already leading the team's main players to Sevilla City yesterday afternoon. ”

"Oh, I see."

"Yes, so Diego asked me to get in touch with you and show you around our club's Espino training base first." After a slight pause, Carlos Menéndez continued: "So, can you tell me where you are now?" ”

More than twenty minutes later, Carlos Menendez arrived at the hotel where Fengquan was.

Carlos Menendez and Feng Quan met in the hotel lobby and exchanged a few pleasantries, and then drove to Atletico Madrid's Espino training base.

Although Atletico Madrid's Espino training base is almost 20 kilometers away from the hotel where Feng Quan is staying, Carlos Menéndez drove to his destination in less than half an hour because it was a weekend.

After following Carlos Menéndez on a brief tour of the Espino training base, one word immediately came to Fengquan's mind, and that was - professional.

Although the overall size of Espino's training base is not very large, it even makes Feng Quan feel that it seems to be slightly smaller than the training base of Liaoning Hongyuan Club, where he once played. However, the layout here is very reasonable, and this supporting facilities are also very complete.

What impressed Feng Quan the most in the entire training base was the several artificial turf training grounds in the base that were as flat as carpets. Although Feng Quan did not personally experience the training ground because he did not carry his sneakers, even based on the visual experience, he can conclude that the artificial turf training ground in the Espino training base is even better than the lawn in the professional football stadium in China.

Since the Hamburg club where Feng Quan played last season did not participate in European competitions, Feng Quan played in Germany all season, and did not know much about the competition venues of other major European leagues.

In addition, when major domestic TV stations and online videos broadcast the five major European leagues, they often evaluate the playing venues and training grounds of German clubs as the best among the five major leagues. Therefore, I have been learning about the European League for a long time by watching TV broadcasts, and I naturally agree with this statement.

However, when Feng Quan came to the Espino training base in person, he found that the quality of the turf here was not inferior to that of the Hamburg club he played for last season.

"I always thought that the turf of the German club's stadium and training ground was the best in the big five leagues, and today I found out that the turf here is not inferior to that of the German side." Feng Quan said with a little surprise.

"Hehe, actually, if you simply compare the quality of the turf on the course, it is really the best of the Germans; If we compare the turf of the training ground, then our Espino training base is not inferior to the Germans. Carlos Menéndez said with a smile.

With most of Atletico Madrid's main players already following Diego Simeone to Seville, the Espino training base looks a little deserted at the moment.

'By tomorrow morning, maybe apart from the starters who started this afternoon's game against Sevilla, the rest of the first-team players will be on this training ground. As he spoke, Carlos Menéndez also pointed to a training ground in the training base that was lined with various billboards.

"To tell you the truth, when I saw this flat carpet-like lawn, I really felt the urge to immediately change into my sneakers and kick them on the training ground." Feng Quan shrugged his shoulders and said with some pity. "It's a pity that I didn't bring my sneakers with me when I came from Moscow."

"Hehe, it's okay, if you really want to go up and try two feet, after we finish the physical examination later, I'll ask old Ivan to get you a full set of equipment, and then let you go up and have a good time."

"Okay, that's it."

Although Feng Quan signed a new contract with Atletico Madrid shortly after the end of the Bundesliga, due to the non-stop participation in various track and field events, Feng Quan not only missed the training camp prepared by the team throughout the summer, but also failed to arrive at the club for a medical examination. Therefore, Feng Quan has no objection to Carlos Menendez's medical requirements, after all, it was the same when he joined Hamburg last year.

After taking the wind on a tour of the entire Espino training facility, the two went to the club's fitness training center.

In addition to the physical training of the first team of Atletico Madrid and the players of various echelons, the players will also be regularly tested for their physical functions. For players who have joined the team like Feng Quan, they have to conduct a relatively comprehensive physical examination here.

Since Feng Quan was the only one to carry out the physical examination, the entire medical examination process was completed in less than an hour.

After about half an hour, when Pedro Aquino, the team doctor in charge of the physical examination, finished summarizing the various examination reports of Fengquan and handed them to Carlos Menendez, the middle-aged man with a full beard first showed a surprised expression, and then asked the team doctor in charge of the physical examination with a suspicious face: "Pedro, are you sure you are not mistaken?" ”

Pedro Aquino nodded first, and then said in an extremely affirmative tone: "Yes, Carlos, please don't doubt our professionalism, these are the Chinese's medical examination reports." ”

After a pause, Pedro Aquino continued: "In fact, when I first saw this medical report, my first reaction was the same as you are now, wondering if we were mistaken. After all, for a yellow-skinned Chinese, being able to have such a physical quality against the sky is really beyond the scope of our understanding. ”

"However, when one of my assistants told me that at the World Athletics Championships in Moscow a few days ago, the Chinese boy broke the world record in the decathlon and the 100-meter dash, I was relieved by the results."

Hearing this, Carlos Menéndez also nodded, agreeing with the team doctor's opinion. However, when he saw the test report on Feng Quan's "physical reserve" status, he asked again suspiciously: "Pedro, although we have known for a long time that this guy's physical fitness is very good. However, why is even his current physical condition so perverted? ”

"Yes, Carlos, you were not mistaken, and I also think this guy is really perverted." Pedro Aquino shrugged his shoulders and said: "He's really better fitter than most of our first-team players. Actually, I'm a little puzzled by why this guy didn't participate in the team's summer build-up session, and he can still be in such good shape. ”

"Could it be because he has been participating in the World Athletics Championships for some time?" Carlos Menéndez asked.

"Well...... Personally, I don't think the relationship should be huge. Pedro Aquino pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a serious expression: "Although I have not been close to the training of athletics, but with many years of work experience, I can still be sure that the physical training in football is still very different from that of athletics." ”

After a pause, Pedro Aquino continued: "And, since this guy has been competing in all kinds of competitions for a while, I personally don't think his head coach should have a lot of physical training when he develops a training plan for him. ”

"So why is his fitness so good, and how can he explain it?"

After thinking for a moment, Pedro Aquino sighed and said, "Perhaps, in Chinese parlance, it is - talented!" ”

…………

Although Carlos Menendez was a little surprised by the good medical report, Carlos Menendez was very happy that the club he played for was able to sign a player with such "ungodly" physical qualities.

After Feng Quan finished his medical examination, he followed Carlos Menendez to find "Old Ivan" and got a complete set of training equipment from him.

Immediately afterwards, Carlos Menéndez took the wind to the dressing room for the first-team players.

When Feng Quan followed Carlos Menéndez into the first-team dressing room, he found that several first-team players were already wearing training gear.

So, Carlos Menendez first clapped his hands and motioned for the team's "veterans" to stop first, and then smiled and said to everyone: "Hey, let me introduce you to your new teammate, Feng-Quan." ”

Immediately afterwards, Carlos Menéndez "pushed" the wind to the front of the "veterans".

"Hi everyone, I'm Feng Quan. It's a pleasure to be teammates with all of you. As he spoke, Feng Quan bowed lightly to the "veterans" with a smile on his face to show his respect for them.

As soon as Feng Quan's words fell, the other players in the locker room applauded his polite behavior.

However, Feng Quan was not sure if it was his own delusion, although these "old players" all gave themselves applause, but the applause of some of them seemed to contain the meaning of "reluctance", and even there seemed to be a faint hint of hostility.

Although this feeling made Feng Quan feel a little unhappy, as a newcomer to the team, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Feng Quan deliberately pretended not to find the existence of "hostility".

After Feng Quan made a short self-introduction, Carlos Menendez began to introduce him to the "veterans" who were also in the locker room.

"This is Jose-Gimenez, who has just moved from Uruguay's Danubio this season, and is the centre-back that Diego is preparing to focus on.

"Wind, nice to meet you." José Jiménez kindly stepped forward and shook hands with Feng Quan.

"José, I'm glad to meet you too." Feng shook hands with a smile on his face.

Carlos Menendez: "This is Javi Manquillo, a newcomer who has just been promoted from the B team this season. He excels at left wing-back and can also play as a left winger. ”

"Hello, Wind." Xavi Manquillo also stepped forward to shake Fengquan's hand.

"Hello, Harvey."

Although Javi Manquillo is not as smiling as Jimenez, his expression is still full of kindness.

'This is Carlos Ramos, a newcomer who has just been promoted from the B team this season, and he is as good as you are at left winger or left midfield. After a pause, Menendez patted Carlos Ramos on the shoulder and said: "Last season, this kid was the best player in the team when he was on the B team, he was not only the team's top scorer, but he also provided 12 assists for his teammates. ”

"Hello." Although Carlos Ramos also stepped forward to shake Fengquan's hand, his expression was very indifferent in the process of shaking hands with Fengquan. Moreover, Feng Quan also seemed to feel an inexplicable hostility from him.

For Feng Quan, who has always adhered to the principle of "people respect me for a foot, and I am also a foot for others", how can he use his hot face to stick to other people's cold butts. Therefore, Feng Quan also replied to the other party with an indifferent expression: "Hello." ”

I don't know if Carlos Menendez's nerves are too big, or if he just pretended not to see the gap between Feng Quan and Carlos Ramos, and continued to introduce the other players in the locker room.

The Frenchman is Lucas Hernandez, who has also just been promoted from the B team this season. After a pause, Carlos Menendez continued: "Don't look at this kid who is not yet 18 years old, but he is very experienced at the back. Moreover, this kid can play almost any position at the back. ”

Hearing this, Lucas Hernandez first scratched his head embarrassedly, and then walked quickly to the wind and stretched out his right hand with a smile.

"Hello, Wind, nice to meet you."

"Hello, Lucas, I'm glad to meet you too."

Looking at Lucas Hernandez's childish face, Feng Quan couldn't help but be impressed by it. For a young man who is not yet 18 years old, being able to be rated as highly as Carlos Menéndez proves that he must be very good.

As a result, Feng Quan also showed much more enthusiasm for Lucas Hernandez than several of his other teammates.
