Chapter 314: The State of the Contenders

Although in this year's East Asian Cup, the Chinese team and the Japanese team also achieved two wins and one draw. However www.biquge.info the Chinese team, which scored 11 goals in three games, finally won the East Asian Cup by virtue of the advantage of goal difference.

In addition, Feng Quan, who started only once in three games, scored four goals for his team and also provided three assists for his team. It is precisely because of his excellent performance that he was selected as the best player in this competition by the organizing committee of the competition.

Although the award for the best player in the East Asian Cup is only $10,000, Feng Quan, who received the bonus, immediately donated the prize money to the China Hope Project Foundation. But with the championship of the East Asian Cup football tournament and Feng Quan, who was selected as the best player by the organizing committee, he still got 2 skill points from the system.

After the East Asian Cup match, Feng Quan returned to China with the national team on a flight.

After the flight of the Chinese national team arrived at the Capital International Airport, the international players who had been training together for nearly half a month also parted ways and returned to their respective clubs to prepare for the Chinese Super League, which is about to rekindle the flames of war.

After returning to the capital, Feng Quan, a "special person", immediately contacted Feng Yong, the head coach of the national track and field team, and consulted him about matters before going to the training base to prepare for the World Championships in Moscow.

Although the opening of the World Championships in Moscow is less than half a month away. However, considering Feng Quan's non-stop coming days, the multi-stop Diamond League in Europe and the East Asian Cup football match held in South Korea will inevitably cause a lot of physical exhaustion to him.

Therefore, when Feng Quan got in touch with Feng Yong. Feng Yong did not immediately let him join the team in order to participate in the final stage of preparation exercises. Instead, let him rest in the capital for two days and then report to the training base on July 31.

Although Feng Quan himself didn't feel how tired he was, he was still very grateful for Director Feng's "kindness". However, Feng Quan, who has long been accustomed to the intense life of training and competitions, how can he completely relax himself and rest wholeheartedly?

Therefore, during these two days of rare "vacation", Feng Quan will still use 3 to 4 hours of time every day to go to the hotel gym where he stays to carry out physical training based on state adjustment.

………………

During the period when Feng Quan continued to "run around the Eurasian continent" to participate in the Diamond League and the East Asian Cup, his main competitors at the World Championships in Moscow were also seizing the time to work hard to improve their competitive status.

At the National Track and Field Championships and Moscow Athletics World Championships Trials June 22-23, veteran Tyson Gay ran a personal season best of 9.72 seconds.

And Tyson Gay's teammate Justin Gatlin, who was only 0.09 seconds behind him, also easily won the ticket to the World Championships in Moscow.

Perhaps, the results of the two American athletes are not enough to threaten Feng Quan's goal of winning the 100-meter flyer crown in Moscow, then if Usain Bolt, the former world record holder in this event, can bring his recent excellent form to the World Championships in Moscow, it is really likely to cause a lot of trouble for Feng Quan's road to victory.

Since June 13 at the IAAF Diamond League in Oslo, Norway, after failing to "revenge" Feng Quan, Bolt has missed four consecutive 100-meter flyer battles in the Diamond League on the grounds of physical injury.

But in reality, not only did "Jamaican Lightning" not suffer any injuries during this period, but he was also very healthy.

The real reason why Bolt missed 4 consecutive Diamond League events is only because his competitive condition is not at its best, so he thinks he does not have the ability to "compete" with Fengquan.

After nearly five weeks of "lying on the back of the bucket" after the Diamond League in Oslo, when the time entered the middle of July, Bolt finally adjusted his competitive form to the best level under the supervision of Glenn Mills.

So, after adjusting his competitive form to the best level, Bolt was ready to return to the Diamond League.

Unfortunately, Usain Bolt, who arrived in England on July 24 to participate in the Diamond League in London, received a very disappointing news. That is, Feng Quan, who won the men's 100-meter championship in the Diamond League for 5 consecutive times, gave up the opportunity to participate in the London station because he wanted to participate in the East Asian Cup football match with the Chinese national team.

However, although he was a little disappointed that Feng Quan was absent from the race, on the day of the men's 100-meter flyer battle on July 26, Bolt, who had been carefully preparing for more than half a month, still ran the personal best of the season - 9.68 seconds in the race.

Although this result is still a little short of the best time of 9.60 seconds set by Feng Quan in the Diamond League in Oslo. But in reality,

If it weren't for the obvious advantage that Bolt had established after the first 60 meters of the race, he would still be close to or even surpass the 9.60 seconds before the final finish line.

It is precisely for this reason that Bolt, who has a more flamboyant personality, made a bold statement at the press conference after the end of the Diamond League in London: "Not only to regain the throne of the 'king of sprinting' in Moscow." And we will also try to break the world record of 9.56 seconds in the men's 100m held by Yufeng Quan......"

In addition, in the London Olympics decathlon competition, Ashton Eaton, who lost to the runner-up of the wind by 21 points, also showed excellent form at the National Track and Field Championships.

Although the score of 9013 points was not able to break the world record of 9039 points held by himself. But even this result is 46 points more than Feng Quan's victory at the London Olympics.

If Ashton Eaton can perform like this again in Moscow, he has never broken the 9,000-point mark in an official competition, and it may take a lot of trouble to win the decathlon event.

………………

Although he is the third Chinese to break the 8,000-point mark in the decathlon, Zhao Feng is also well-known in the domestic athletics world. However, because he has never participated in the Olympic Games, the World Championships, and such a world-scale event, Zhao Feng, who came to the national track and field team training base to participate in the final stage of preparation training before the World Championships, actually suffered from insomnia at night after the first few days of training.

Fortunately, after the guidance of Director Yue and the help of the psychologist in the training base, Zhao Feng finally overcame the insomnia caused by being too excited. With the gradual improvement of his psychological state, Zhao Feng's training performance has also shown a steady improvement.

Because Feng Quan followed the Chinese football team to South Korea to participate in the East Asian Cup, sprint coach El Carreis, who was temporarily in a state of "nothing to do", and physical fitness coach Jonas Kessler, were "borrowed" by Feng Quan to the national track and field team. Let the two of them assist the other coaches in their preparations for the World Championships in Moscow.

In fact, the national track and field team did not let the two of them help in vain. During the "help" period, not only can the two foreigners still receive salaries from Feng Quan, but the national track and field team will not only arrange room and board for the two, but also pay them a "training subsidy" of $500 per day.

Of course, the coaching ability of the two of them was quickly recognized by the national track and field team.

In particular, the athletes in the sprint event benefited a lot from the guidance of El Karis.

Even Zhao Feng, the two decathlon athletes, has made significant progress in the 100m and 400m sprints under the guidance of El-Carris.

Zhao Feng, who had never broken 10.60 seconds in the 100-meter event, actually ran a personal best of 10.49 seconds in training. In addition, in the 400m event, he also improved his personal best to within 48.50 seconds.

Although the improvement in the sprint event alone will not help Zhao Feng have the strength to hit the podium in the decathlon. However, for newcomers who are making their debut on the international stage, if they can get a relatively ideal ranking in the competition, it will undoubtedly help him improve his self-confidence.

Only when they are confident in their future can athletes steadily improve their strength in continuous hard training.

In addition, Qi Haifeng, who is in the middle of his life, is about to enter the twilight of his sports career; And after the World Championships in Moscow, Feng Quan will gradually fade out of the decathlon event, in the future, Zhao Feng is likely to become the banner figure of Chinese track and field in this event.

Therefore, the improvement of Zhao Feng's strength in the decathlon is undoubtedly a huge good news for the Chinese track and field community.

………………

Even after learning from Liu Jianjun's mouth that Bolt still ran a time of 9.68 seconds in the men's 100-meter race at the London station of the Diamond League, even after "releasing the water" at the last moment, Feng Quan did not doubt his certainty of winning the 100-meter championship on the track in Moscow.

After all, after obtaining the [Reset], which is almost a "bug", Feng Quan can get two chances to use the [Instant Acceleration] skill in the same match.

In this way, even if Feng Quan's physical condition is only in a "good" state, it is even possible to break the time of 9.50 seconds in the race.

In the 400m, Feng Quan's personal best is far from the world record of 43.18 seconds held by legendary American athlete Michael Johnson.

However, if the "twice" [instantaneous acceleration] skill is also used in the 400m event, Feng Quan has the strength to compete for the championship in Moscow. In addition, Feng Quan has set himself the goal of breaking the world record in the decathlon at the World Championships in Moscow.

Therefore, in the final period of preparation for this World Championships, Feng Quan focused his main energy on the practice of jumping and throwing.

Although in just ten days, Feng Quan did not make any substantial breakthroughs in jumping and throwing events, but in terms of physical strength, flexibility, and explosiveness compared with last year's London Olympics, there has been a significant improvement, at least so that Feng Quan's results in these two "major events" have reached the same level as last year's Olympic Games.

In this way, Feng Quan basically has the basic conditions to break the world record in the decathlon in Moscow.

Atletico Madrid FC training base in Madrid, Spain.

Diego Simeone, who led the team to a day of training, had just returned to his office less than a minute before Gerardo Guzman, the chief scout of Atletico Madrid, walked in with joy on his face.

Although this move by Gerardo Guzmán seems a little impolite. But judging by the faint smile on Simeone's face, it didn't seem to be the slightest bit displeased by this.

Because Simeone knows very well in his heart that whenever his good partner has a smile on his face, he will bring some good news for himself.

"Hehe, Gerardo, do you have any good news for me?" Simeone, who was sitting in the boss's chair, said with a smile on his front while crossing his fingers over his chest.

"Yes, I do have good news for you." After a slight pause, Gerardo Guzmán continued: "And, there's more to this good news than that. ”

"Oh? Is it? Then I'll have to listen carefully. ”

"But before I tell you the good news, I'll show you two videos that have been put together by David [Costas]." Gerardo Guzmán took a USB stick out of his pocket, handed it to Simeone, and said in a mysterious way.

Smiling and shaking his head, Simeone plugged the USB flash drive directly into the computer case, and then clicked on the playback software on the LCD monitor.

Moments later, a defender wearing the number 17 of the Chinese team, frequently disrupting the Australian player's attack in the middle of the defense, jumped into Simeone's eyes.

"Is this the No. 5 player of the Chinese team that I mentioned to you before?" Simeone asked with a frown.

"That's right, it's that kid. It's just that in this East Asian Cup game, he should have worn the No. 17 jersey. Gerardo Guzmán nodded in the affirmative. Moreover, in this game against the Australian team, he was also arranged by the head coach of the Chinese team in the position of central defender. ”

With that, Gerardo Guzmán did not continue to speak, but quietly observed the change in the expression on Simeone's face opposite......
