Volume 1: The First Cry of the Rhine Chapter 011: You will be on the list

After several nights of heavy rain, the weather in Mainz has gradually cooled.

It's a breezy and cool day.

Gu Zhen stood in the first team of Mainz, his eyes staring closely at Klopp in front of him, his heart full of anticipation. Because this is his first real training session with the Mainz first team, he hopes to impress Klopp.

Jurgen Klopp looked at the players in front of him and said passionately: "Lads, the international break is over and the league will be back in action. Just this weekend, we will have the fifth round of this season's Bundesliga. It's an important game, it's our clarion call to the top of the league, it's the beginning of our conquest of the Bundesliga and our return to the Bundesliga. ”

Klopp said that behind him was red and red, and his muscles were bursting up, and he was very excited.

His body movements are very large, even exaggerated. But the players in Mainz's first team did watch with blood boiling and emotions running high.

Gu Zhen was stunned, Mr. Klopp turned out to be such a person, he was simply a chicken blood orator.

It's no wonder that he always motivates the team, and it's no wonder that he was able to be a guest commentator on ZDF.

His words were really contagious.

Klopp continued: "Boys, train well and fight! Heaven will not disappoint those who work hard! ”

Mainz's first-team players are in high spirits and ready for the upcoming training session.

Klopp saw that it was almost over, and then he said lightly: "Today's main training content is running!" ”

The rapid transformation of these two images before and after Klopp is really staggering.

This guy can't be schizophrenic, right?

However, Gu Zhen was not surprised by what Klopp said.

Because before coming to the first team, the head coach of the U19 youth team, Kramney, told him that running is the most important thing in Klopp's tactics, and also reminded Gu Zhen to run actively in training and games.

And this is exactly what Gu Zhen is good at, and he firmly believes that he can impress Klopp.

Come on, I'll conquer you!

Gu Zhen clenched his fists, stared at Klopp tightly, and thought in his heart.

Klopp said: "Before the actual training, let's do a simple little game to warm up. ”

As soon as Klopp's words fell, the Mainz first-team players wailed.

Gu Zhen's face was full of doubts, what is the situation? Isn't it just a simple little game? As for such an exaggeration? It's not that you want to go to hell.

Klopp immediately said: "As usual, two by two. Damir, you and your brother, Nevin, you take Xiao Gu! ”

Damir French and Subotic immediately nodded their heads in understanding.

Gu Zhen came to Subotic with a puzzled face, and asked suspiciously, "Lao Wen, what is this for?" Why did everyone react like this? ”

Subotic glanced at Gu Zhen meaningfully, and said with a smile: "You will understand later, we are the second batch, you don't have to worry, take a good look!" ”

Gu Zhen frowned slightly, stared at Subotic, and said in his heart: "Lie down, what kind of conspiracy does this guy have?" ”

Seeing that Subotic didn't pay attention to himself, Gu Zhen watched it seriously to see what was going to happen next?

Soon, Gu Zhen understood why some players were wailing.

It turns out that the little game in Klopp's mouth is a 60-meter race with a person on his back.

When he saw the 174cm-tall Christian Dimitas squirming with the 190cm-tall Nowitzki on his back, Gu Zhen finally understood why his teammates were wailing.

It's really scary.

Gu Zhen couldn't help but turn his head to look at Subotic, who was 193cm tall, and then looked down at himself who was 182cm tall. He finally understood what Subotic's eyes meant by the deep meaning in his eyes just now.

This damn guy really didn't have a good heart.

Soon the first batch was over, and teammates of Dimitas's height were hunched over and gasping for breath, no wonder they were wailing. And these people like Nowitzki simply didn't have anything to do, their faces were not red or breathless, and they were in good spirits.

Sure enough, it is very important to have a tall and strong body.

Next was Gu Zhen's turn and their batch, and Gu Zhen slowly stepped onto the competition field as if he was on the execution ground. But fortunately, in the first round, Subotic carried him, and Gu Zhen could be lazy.

Subotic's speed is good among tall people, and Gu Zhen doesn't seem to have much impact on his back, he runs relatively fast and quickly wins the first place.

After putting Gu Zhen down, Subotic turned to Gu Zhen and said: "You kid is too light, it seems that you have to gain weight, and you also have to strengthen strength training, otherwise it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the first team." ”

Gu Zhen bowed slightly, indicating that he understood that this was indeed one of his next major topics.

Subotic immediately said: "Alright, it's your turn next!" ”

Gu Zhen's face collapsed suddenly, and Subotich said pitifully: "Can't you do it if you don't carry it?" You don't want to see my little body crushed by you, do you? ”

Subotic smiled and said, "Of course you can! ”

Gu Zhen was immediately pleasantly surprised: "Really? ”

Subotic said very seriously: "Really. But you'll have to talk to the boss! ”

Gu Zhen immediately turned his head and glanced at Klopp, who was looking down not far away to sort out the training materials, and was very angry in his heart, this guy Subotic actually used Klopp to press me, what a villain.

Gu Zhen immediately turned his head, made a gesture of contempt to Subotic, and said, "Master despises you!" ”

Subotic smiled, dragged Gu Zhen over, jumped on Gu Zhen's back, and said, "Let's start quickly, there is still a lot of training below, don't waste time!" ”

Gu Zhen was almost crushed by Subotic, and he was so angry in his heart that he immediately burst into tears: "Lie down, are you a pig?" How can it be so heavy? ”

Subotic immediately slapped Gu Zhen on the ass and said, "Hurry up and run, the game has begun!" ”

Gu Zhen looked to his side, and sure enough, someone had already rushed out, and he didn't show weakness, and immediately rushed out. While running, he also shouted: "Dead old man, see how I clean you up after the game!" ”

Sixty meters is not far, but it is still quite tiring.

Gu Zhen's speed is not slow, but he can't play it at all here, and in the end, he only won a third place in this group. After running, he just lay on the ground and kicked for a big breath.

The intensity of a small game is so high, what will the training look like later?

Gu Zhen has really experienced the difference between the first team and the youth team now.

After a simple game, Klopp led the Mainz players to start today's training.

As Jurgen Klopp said before, today's training is all about running.

This is true for both morning and afternoon training, but there is a big gap in the details, and Klopp has prepared a lot of different ways for them to train their runs.

To be honest, it was the first time Gu Zhen had seen so many ways of training running.

Gu Zhen has really seen a lot.

Through training, Gu Zhenshi learned that Klopp's training on running is all ball training. Whether it's attacking with the ball or defending passively trying to win the ball back, running has to be centered on the ball.

And in training, Gu Zhen also found that his proud off-ball running was simply scum here.

Before, he really didn't expect that a running without the ball would have to pay attention to so many things.

My previous off-ball running was indeed very positive and oppressive, but it was also a lot of useless work, wasting my physical energy in vain. Moreover, the cooperation with teammates during the run is also very poor, and many times it will fall into individual combat, but the team will cooperate with the encirclement and suppression.

In the morning training, Klopp kept stopping the training, calling Gu Zhen aside, teaching the right time, and pointing out the shortcomings in Gu Zhen's running. Gu Zhen benefited a lot, and his heart was full of gratitude, giving birth to a sense of kindness.

"See, Jurgen seems to be very interested in Xiao Gu!" I don't know when, the team's strength and conditioning coach, Axel Busenkel, came to Bwach's side and said suddenly.

Bwach smiled and said: "It's hard to see a good seedling who fits his tactics so well, and Jurgen naturally attaches great importance to it. Jurgen was full of infinite expectations for Xiao Gu. ”

Busenkel bowed slightly, Gu Zhen is indeed very suitable for Klopp's tactics.

Gu Zhen, this little guy, is really lucky, he was able to meet a head coach who was so suitable for him at the beginning of his career, which is simply the favor of God.

"As long as this kid doesn't float, his future is limitless." ”

Bwach also bowed his head and said, "Yes! However, that is also in the future, and this kid still has a long way to go. I hope he can understand Jurgen's good intentions, work hard, and not disappoint everyone's expectations of him. ”

On the training ground, Gu Zhen ran very hard and actively, and at the same time, he was carefully digesting Klopp's reminders and suggestions, and applying them to training.

Seeing this, Klopp's eyes lit up and he was very satisfied.

Gu Zhen, this little guy is really as Kramney said, usually this guy jumps out a little, but when it comes to training and competitions, he is very hard and steady.

This kid is very good, Klopp is full of expectations.

The morning training ended in such an atmosphere.

Gu Zhen, Subotic, and Frankic Jr. walked to the locker room together, ready to wash up, and then went to lunch.

Subotic suddenly said to Gu Zhen: "Xiao Gu, I want to congratulate you!" ”

Gu Zhen was slightly stunned, and said suspiciously: "What do I have to congratulate?" ”

Subotic said seriously: "In the league at the weekend, you will definitely have a place in the squad. ”

Gu Zhen was pleasantly surprised: "How come? ”

Subotic immediately said: "Don't you see that the boss attaches great importance to you? Isn't it just for the weekend league to point you out so often? Don't worry, you'll be on the bench! ”

Hearing Subotic say this, Gu Zhen was naturally very surprised, and even very excited.

Am I going to play for the first team so soon?

Gu Zhen clenched his fists, I will definitely seize this opportunity, definitely.

Little French cast an envious glance at Gu Zhen.
