Chapter 231: World Cup?

On the morning of January 4th, the players of the first team of Hamburg returned to the club's training base after a winter break. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As there was still some time before the regrouping time arranged by head coach Fink, the players who had arrived at the club first came to the dressing room of the training base.

Although there has been no normal training for more than half a month, when the players have all changed their jerseys, Feng Quan found that none of the German players in the team, as well as other players from European countries, showed signs of getting in shape.

Several foreign players from South America in the team are clearly showing signs of getting in shape.

Although on the face of it, the winter break is intended for the players to rest in order to recover from the fatigue caused by the first half of the season and thus prepare for the upcoming second half of the Bundesliga.

But in fact, if you completely "indulge" yourself in this more than half a month and really let yourself be in a state of complete "relaxation", I am afraid it will be difficult to cope with the second half of the Bundesliga. At the very least, at the beginning of the second half of the league, it will be difficult to be in the team's main lineup, or even on the bench.

Once a player has left a bad impression in the minds of the relatively rigid German coach, then it will be difficult for him to change the bad impression that he has left in the mind of the manager.

And this is an important reason why some black players in South America and Africa, who are very skilled but have a loose personality, have not been able to achieve great success in the Bundesliga, or have not been able to establish themselves at all.

However, it is not only the Germans who are trying to stay fit during the winter break, but also those from other European countries.

During the more than half a month of vacation during the winter break, Feng Quan will also spare at least an hour or so every day for physical training.

And his "Asian partner" Son Heung-min not only did not return to South Korea, but also went to the club's gym every day for at least 2 hours of physical strength training.

In fact, before Feng Quan joined the Hamburg club, Son Xingmin always believed that his physical fitness was undoubtedly the top level in Asia. Moreover, with their physical flexibility, it is difficult for most defensive players in the Bundesliga to really limit the South Koreans' attack.

Therefore, apart from the physical exercises arranged by the team's head coach in daily training, Son rarely goes to the club's gym to practice physical strength.

The reason why this is so is not because of Sun Xingmin's "laziness", but because he is a little worried that if he trains too hard in terms of strength, although he can enhance his physical strength. But correspondingly, it is likely to be a decrease in physical flexibility and reflexes. And the flexibility of the body is the capital that Asian players can be in the mainstream European leagues, Ontario.

However, when Feng Quan came to the Hamburg club, Sun Xingmin was a little surprised to find that this guy from China, while constantly improving his physical strength, did not seem to show a downward trend in terms of physical flexibility. In addition, as your physical strength continues to improve, you will be more confident when you compete against other teams' defenders.

And Son Heung-min's physical flexibility, although it is necessary to strengthen most of the Bundesliga defensive players. But the advantage of "flexibility" needs to be built on the basis of "having the ball".

In fact, as Son Heung-min's skills continue to improve, and his contribution to the team in the game is becoming more and more prominent. Today's Koreans have long been a thorn in the side of other teams' head coaches. Therefore, the importance of other teams in the game is also increasing day by day.

In such a situation, Son Xingmin not only has fewer and fewer opportunities to get the ball in the game, but even when he is off the ball, the opponent's defenders will often defend him fiercely.

Although he can still create space for himself with smart movement and relentless wide running, and then get the chance to get the ball, and then use his flexibility to give a good performance in attack.

But no matter how "smart" his running position is, as long as he "runs", people's physical fitness will be consumed. It is precisely because Son Xingmin often has to make a lot of runs in the game to avoid the fierce pressing of the opposing players that he often appears in the second half of the game, unable to make wonderful performances, or directly in a state of physical exhaustion.

On the other hand, after the improvement of strength, Feng Quan, although due to his lack of game experience, his running awareness is still lacking. But with his own strength, he can often withstand the other party's push and collision, so that he is often invincible in the competition with the other party.

Therefore, Son Xingmin took the initiative to find Fengquan before the winter break, after the 16th round of the Bundesliga. Ask them about how you can keep improving your physical strength while remaining as flexible as possible.

So, Feng Quan recommended his full-time physical trainer, Jonas Kessler, to Sun Xingmin.

Then, when Jonas Kessler got his hands on Son's detailed body data, he developed a physical exercise plan for him that was tailored to his physical characteristics.

However, Sun Xingmin did not get a "free dinner". Even though he was recommended by Feng Quan, when the Korean got his "own" training plan, Jonas Kessler still charged him a certain fee.

Perhaps, some people will ask, don't the first teams of European clubs have their own full-time physical coaches, why do Koreans still go to Jonas Kessler?

That's right, the vast majority of the first teams in Europe's top leagues have their own fitness coaches. However, there will always be at least 22 or more players in the first team of any club. With so many players, especially at a club like Hamburg, which is not a big club, it is impossible for their conditioning coach to make his own detailed physical training plan for each player.

It is precisely because of this that Sun Xingmin would rather "pay out of his own pocket" and ask Fengquan for help.

Of course, the banknotes of the Koreans are not in vain. In the second half of the next Bundesliga, it will gradually exert its power.

Looking at Sun Xingmin's body, which was obviously stronger than before the winter break, Feng Quan's face couldn't help but show a smile. He secretly said in his heart: "Jonas's ability is indeed not covered." When I return to China to prepare for the World Championships this year, I must take him back with me, so that he can give the physical coaches of the national team a good moment. ”

Although Feng Quan and Son Heung-min's locker are far apart, for some reason, the South Koreans seem to feel Feng Quan's gaze on him.

So, after stuffing his belongings into the locker, he walked straight in the direction where Feng Quan was.

"Hey, the wind. Have you had fun returning to China for more than half a month? ”

Because of the "help" of Feng Quan, coupled with the tacit cooperation between the two in the few games before the winter break, the Koreans seemed very cordial after seeing Feng Quan.

"Hehe, I didn't play much, and after I went back, I accompanied my parents except for participating in Adi's business activities." Feng Quan said with a smile.

"Yes, it seems that I haven't been back to South Korea for more than half a year, and I haven't visited my parents......" Hearing Feng Quan mention his parents, Sun Xingmin couldn't help but say to himself.

Yes, since June 12, 2012, Son Heung-min returned to China to participate in the third round of the Brazilian World Cup Asian Top 10 match between South Korea and Lebanon, and has never set foot on South Korean soil.

"Then why didn't you go back to see this half-month holiday during the winter break? Even if you want to improve your physical strength, I'm sure there are plenty of good gyms in Korea for you to practice, right? Feng Quan asked.

"Hehe, during the international break in late March, the World Cup qualifiers for the Asian top 10 will continue. We were playing the Cartel at home, so I didn't go back during the winter break. And ......" Sun Xingmin looked a little like he wanted to say something.

In fact, Sun Xingmin wanted to say "Moreover, I don't want to lose to you physically......" However, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, he finally held back and didn't say it.

As for Feng Quan, he doesn't seem to have heard the "and" in the Korean population at all. Because when Sun Xingmin mentioned the "World Cup Qualifiers Asian Top 10", he had already begun to "run God".

"Top 10? Since 2002, the Chinese team seems to have won three consecutive World Cups, and has not been able to advance to the final stage of the Asian qualifiers, right? ”

Thinking of this, Feng Quan's heart couldn't help but feel depressed.

Although he has been a fan since the first grade of primary school, he is an out-and-out supporter of the Chinese team. Even if he will not abuse and denounce the national team like many "pseudo-fans" in China, the dismal performance of the national team in three consecutive World Cups and missing the final stage of the Asian competition still makes him somewhat dissatisfied and even feel "hopeless".

"If one day, when my personal strength is comparable to that of Messi, the 'Ballon d'Or professional', can I lead the weak Chinese team to enter the World Cup again?"

However, when this thought just appeared in Feng Quan's mind, he was quickly denied by himself.

"Probably not...... China's sprints have reached the top level in Asia, and I broke the world record in the 100m, failing to lead the 4x100m relay team to victory over Jamaica and the United States. Not to mention leading the Chinese football team to the World Cup......"

"If you can, don't get involved with the national team......" Feng Quan sighed helplessly in his heart.

Since there had been no systematic training for more than half a month, the first day after the first team regrouped in Hamburg was dominated by recovery training. Moreover, after about an hour and a half of training in the morning, it was over.

Although Fink arranged training in the morning and afternoon of the second day. However, the content of the training is mainly based on physical recovery training.

However, during the morning training of the day, a new face appeared in the dressing room of the Hamburg first team.

"Before today's training begins, we would like to welcome our new teammates." The team's assistant coach, Lars Bittencourt, said in a calm tone. "Come on, Lin, you can introduce yourself first."

Before the "newcomer" could speak, Hamburg's main goalkeeper, Rene Adler, smiled and said, "Hey, Lars." Lin was in the first team last season, does he still need to introduce himself? ”

"You're not right to say that, Rene." Westermann, the captain of Hamburg, spoke. "There are a lot of newcomers to our team this season, so there are still a lot of people who are not familiar with Lin."

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Zhijian (lamzhigin). In the future, I would like to ask you for your care. ”

As soon as Lin Zhijian's words fell, Adler walked up to him, put his arm around his neck and said, "Haha, Lin, not all of us in the team are your 'big brother'." ”

After a pause, Adler looked around the entire locker room, and when he saw Feng Quan, he glanced at Lin Zhijian and said, "Your Chinese compatriots, Feng seems to be two years younger than you." ”

Although Lin Zhijian and Feng Quan met for the first time, the amazing performance of the "King of Sprinting" after switching to the Bundesliga still left a deep impression on him.

Lin Zhijian followed Adler's gaze and walked quickly in front of Feng Quan, and at the same time stretched out his right hand to the other party in a friendly manner.

"Hello, Wind. It's a pleasure to meet you. Lin Zhijian said with a smile.

"I'm glad to meet you, Lin, too." As he spoke, Feng Quan also stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, I hope that in the future, we can have the opportunity to play for the motherland together."

Hearing the other party's words, Feng Quan was suddenly stunned.

In fact, before the wind "crossed" back to 2012, there was a lot of attention to the five major European leagues. Therefore, he still has some understanding of Lin Zhijian's special "existence".

Although judging from the name, Lin Zhijian is a "standard" Chinese. But in fact, his father is from Hong Kong and his mother is German, but since he was born in Germany, he has never set foot on Chinese soil. Moreover, even Chinese, I am not very fluent. Therefore, Lin Zhijian cannot be counted as a Chinese at all in the strict sense.

But how can such a "German" with a Chinese face not surprise Fengquan when he uttered the words "serving the motherland"?

"Hey, I'm so ashamed...... Unexpectedly, I just had some 'dislike' and didn't want to 'get involved' the national team, but people were just 'half' Chinese, but they said something like that. ”

Although I felt a little "ashamed" in my heart, I had already experienced many big scenes, and after being stunned for a while, I quickly reacted and said with a little excitement: "I am looking forward to the ......day when the two of us will lead the Chinese team to the World Cup." )
