On the morning of the first day of training, all the players lined up and stood on the green field, listening to Frederick call out their names, and the people who were called answered that they had come.

"Jody Morris!"

"Here!"

"Graham Stark!"

"I'm here!"

"Kevin Braniff!"

"Here we are."

"Maxi Rodriguez!"

"Are you calling me?"

"Paul Konchesky!"

“……”

After Frederick's roll call one by one, the good news was that everyone came.

This is not surprising.

After the club won the 'treble', Zhang Yang's authority in the team is heavier, the old players have experienced one season, two seasons, and also have an understanding of Zhang Yang's requirements, they know that on the first day of preparation, being late will be punished, and it may also leave a bad impression in the coach's mind, no one wants to see that kind of situation, because the club will not lack anyone, even the leading scorer Darren Bent has left, who can be more important than the leading goalscorer?

New players come early.

New players need to come to the club for medical check-ups and reports, and most of them have been staying in London since then, and on the first day of training, there are no surprises, and there will be no tardiness, even if the behavior is a thorn, they will not be stupid enough to perform badly on the first day.

Next, the players met Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang walked in from the gate of the training ground, he looked a little busy, walking a little fast, but he was also the only one who was 'late', of course, the head coach was always an exception, just like during the school day, it was a great thing for students to be late, and the teacher would punish him very seriously.

Conversely, it's not the same when the teacher is late, what can the average student say?

Zhang Yang is the head coach of the team, and no one will say anything if he doesn't come for a day, because no one can control his head, but he didn't mean to be late, the first day of work was very busy, he went to communicate with the team doctor Davis, plus Chouderick, the three parties communicated together and talked about the team's physical examination.

This is important.

The physical examination on the first day can detect the physical condition of the players, and the players who are not in good physical condition must use the preparation period to adjust, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with it, and the season that lasts for nearly ten months will greatly increase the chance of injury in the middle.

When Zhang Yang arrived at the training ground, Frederick's roll call was over, and Humpty Dumpty handed over the list of players and said, "Everyone is here." ”

Zhang Yang nodded and took it, feeling quite satisfied, and then stood in front of everyone, stared at everyone with a solemn face, and said, "Today is the first day of gathering, and the arrangements for the first day are mainly physical examinations and warm-ups. This is also your last day of relaxation. ”

"I remember that at the end of the season in May, I told everyone that you must pay attention to the holidays, don't eat high-calorie food for a long time, don't lie on a woman's belly for a long time, and have time to do more exercise.

Hearing this, some players unconsciously lowered their heads.

That may be a lack of heart.

Zhang Yang glanced at everyone, looked at everyone's eyes carefully, as if to see if there was any cowardice and weakness, and then said, "This holiday is very long, because there are no international competitions, and the national team has no competitions, which is a pity, because a large number of people have to rely on self-consciousness to maintain their physical condition." ”

"I hope you've all done that, but if I find out who is in a worse state of health, I'm sorry, you're going to face the most rigorous physical training, the most rigorous diet."

"Well, that's all for me to say, and then I'll leave time for the new players."

"Wesley Sneijder!"

Zhang Yang suddenly called a name, and everyone looked at Sneijder, Sneijder didn't react a little, and looked left and right to make sure that it was him, he raised his hand and said, "Here." ”

He speaks Dutch.

Dutch and English are very similar, both belong to the western branch of the Germanic language family of the Indo-European language family, but the difference is not small, generally people who can speak English, learning Dutch will be very awkward, because there are many tones are different, and some habits, the difference will be very large.

Sneijder's first reaction was that he didn't speak English, he only knew a little English, and was about to correct it, when he heard Zhang Yang say in more orthodox Dutch, "Come to me!" ”

Sneijder's mouth opened wide in surprise, he knew for the first time that Zhang Yang could actually speak Dutch, he walked out of the queue and stood beside Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang patted Sneijder's shoulder and said, "This is Wesley, I believe some of you know each other, but most people are definitely not familiar with it, I will help introduce him, he is from the Ajax club in the Netherlands, and he is an experienced midfielder." ”

Then he said to Sneijder in Dutch, "Say a few words, say hello to everyone, and briefly introduce yourself, your English is not very good, just use Dutch." ”

Sneijder nodded in surprise, but he was very generous, and began to introduce himself in Dutch.

Zhang Yang followed the translator on the side.

Zhang Yang's translation speed is very fast and professional, and he even translates some Dutch-style jokes in Sneijder's words into similar words in English.

People who are not proficient in English and Dutch at the same time can't hear anything, but there are auxiliary staff next to the queue, and Sneijder has a special translator, named Van Balster, Balster listened to Sneijder's words, and then listened to the rapid translation behind, and couldn't help but grow his mouth in surprise, even if he was asked to translate, it was impossible to be so smooth and fast, and it was impossible to translate so accurately.

"Coach Zhang Yang's Dutch is very good, and his English is also very good." Baster said to the staff next to him, "Did he study in the Netherlands?" ”

Next to him was the staff of the Millwall Club, who had long been accustomed to Zhang Yang's language ability, and when he heard Balster's words, he suddenly put on a look of 'you have never seen the world', and said a little arrogantly, "Zhang Yang is not only Dutch, but also French, Italian, German, Spanish, etc., he is very proficient in every language!" He's a recognized linguistic genius! ”

Balster was stunned.

When he was in college, Bahlster was a language major, and he also studied for a master's degree in European language studies, and so far, he is only familiar with four languages, only Dutch and English, and the other two are very average.

Fluent in all languages?

What's going on?

Balster feels that his worldview is distorted, because Zhang Yang is a football coach, not a language professional, and if every coach is like this, what is the practical point of him majoring in languages?

Zhang Yang helped Sneijder introduce himself, and then asked other new players to come up one by one to make introductions.

With Sneijder's example, the rest went a lot smoother.

After each new player was introduced, Zhang Yang handed over the work to Frederick, who would take all the players around the pitch for two laps to do a simple warm-up, and then everyone went to the gym for a physical test, and finally went to the medical room to do a series of scientific tests such as blood tests and urine tests.

That's all for the morning.

————

The results of the physical examination in the afternoon were almost out, and among the more than 20 players, some of them had a high degree of physical decline, while others were still in shape.

The former is representative of Curtis Weston, his physical fitness test results are the worst, indicating that he must not have done a good job in the past month or so, so Zhang Yang specially found Weston, seriously criticized him, and threatened to "let him go", warning him to do serious training next.

Weston was young and physically profligate.

If a person in his thirties, like Weston, squandered his body with a single glance, and then relied on training to adjust back, it would be almost impossible.

This may also be considered young capital.

Zhang Yang was dissatisfied with Weston at the same time, but also heard a little gossip, Weston has a new girlfriend, nearly ten years older than him, in two words to describe, that is, excellent temperament, full of charm, and sent Wells to the club in the morning, Braniff only met once from afar, and played the characteristics of the 'little prince of gossip', it only took half a day, even Maxi Rodriguez, who didn't know much English, knew about it, and when the players were talking in the locker room, Vardy blurted out his heart, "When you break up." , let me try", causing Weston to chase and slam in anger, and the others couldn't help but laugh.

After Zhang Yang heard about this, he only thought it was very funny, mature women can always attract little tender grass, Weston fell into this trap, but most of the examples show that similar feelings can't go long, even if the two really love each other, they will get tired of it after a long time, after all, Weston can't enter the marriage hall in a few years, he is too young.

So, what Vardy said, it is possible to do so.

It's a joke.

The best physical condition in the team is David Livermore, Livermore has always been the best in health, and the exercise is constant, as if it has become an important part of life.

When he saw the results of Livermore's physical examination, Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction, and then remembered Weston's situation, and asked the others with some surprise, "David, he hasn't found a girlfriend yet?" ”

Credrick, Davis, and Frederick couldn't help but laugh.

Pierce was a little confused so.

Zhang Yang just made a joke, but he cared in his heart, Livermore's situation is not what it used to be, he has become a tens of millions of pounds star, his fame must be there, and his income has reached the top level, in addition, his body is strong and scary, and he has a fatal attraction to many women, which will definitely cause many women to chase after him, even if he does not fall in love with Livermore, but those third- and fourth-tier actresses and models will also post it upside down, hoping that something indescribable will happen with Livermore, and it is best to be noticed by media reporters, Then you can use it to quickly become famous.

In short, if Livermore wants to find a girlfriend, he will definitely be able to find it.

He was also twenty-seven years old.

Many professional players are married at this age, Livermore doesn't even have a girlfriend, and Zhang Yang strongly suspects that he hasn't opened meat yet, so the situation is a bit unusual.

What's going on?

"This guy won't be ......"

Zhang Yang felt terrible when he thought about it, and decided that it would be safer to stay away from Livermore in the future, of course, he would not remind others, if someone fell into tragedy because of this, he would silently send his blessings.

Millwall's preparation training has officially begun.

The first-team training ground is always in full swing, every player is seriously engaged in training, Frederick, who is in charge of physical training, keeps a close eye on it, and some players are worried about being seen if they want to be lazy, which means increasing the amount of training.

Credrick has a physical training plan for everyone, some players are asked to train less, some players are asked to train more, and that is not directly determined by the physical decline, but also has a lot to do with the player's own situation.

For example, Livermore.

Livermore is the player with the best physical condition, but his training volume is also one of the best, according to Livermore's physical examination results, he can bear enough training volume without affecting his physical condition, but will make his physical condition better.

Weston is also required to train a lot, because his physical condition is a bit terrible, and he has to rely on high training volume with a lot of nutritional supplements to be able to slowly adjust back.

Other players also have their own situations.

No matter how much training is done, each player trains very seriously, and the old players are clear about the bottom line, and it is good to say on weekdays that pre-season preparation must be done well, otherwise there will be no chance to be lazy if you want to be lazy in the future.

The new players saw the old players, they were all training seriously, they felt that it was very hard, and they all persevered.

The training atmosphere in the team is still satisfying.

It didn't take long for the new players to discover an unusual problem – manager Zhang Yang was rarely present at the training ground.

Except for the first day, Zhang Yang watched an hour of training, in the next few days, they could only see Zhang Yang twice a day, usually once in the morning and once in the afternoon. The main responsibility is still Frederick.

A few days, enough time for the new players to get to know Frederick.

In the eyes of the new players, Frederick is a very strict coach, he is always very strict with his training requirements, and no player is allowed to be lazy, the new players don't know that it is a flamboyant request, they think Frederick is very good, and some new players are thinking, "Millwall can get good results, is it because of Coach Frederick?" ”

This serious, conscientious and responsible attitude will also motivate the team to prepare for the best results.

Maxi Rodriguez is one of them.

Maxi previously played for Atletico Madrid, suffered frequent injuries last season, and only played ten times for Atletico Madrid, and during the summer transfer, Millwall made an offer to Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid decided to sell Maxey to Millwall considering his unstable physical condition.

Maxi didn't want to join Millwall, he wanted to stay at Atletico Madrid, but Atletico Madrid considered selling him, so he didn't force him to stay, thinking that it would be good to join a championship team.

Maxi, who joined the team in such a state, has no special impression of Zhang Yang.

In the few days of preparation and training, Maxi did not meet a few times, only on the first day when he introduced the players, he talked to Zhang Yang once, he really didn't see anything special about Zhang Yang, but Frederick was very dignified and took the training situation very seriously.

So Maxi believes that Frederick must be very important and must have a lot of credit for Millwall's success.

At the end of the day, Maxi was stopped by several reporters, he didn't want to be interviewed, but found out that it was the Spanish media, and he still felt a little kind, so he was interviewed, and he was asked a question, "How do you feel about being in Millwall for a few days?" What do you think of head coach Zhang Yang? ”

Maxi didn't have any impression of Zhang Yang, so he said truthfully, "I haven't met the head coach a few times, and Mr. Frederick has been leading the team to train these days, Frederick is a very serious coach, his requirements are very strict, and the training process is also very hard. ”

"But I think it's worth it because my team-mates work really hard and I think the intensity of the team's preparation is one of the best in Europe, much higher than that of Atletico Madrid."

"Frederick is a very good coach, I have a good impression of him, he is very respectable......"

Maxi gave Frederick a lot of positive comments, all from the heart of his true feelings, but what he didn't know was that just a few words had a huge effect......
