Chapter 446: Don't go too fast, wait for the soul
Spinoli drove Li Liang back to the apartment building of De Sanctis.
The two then returned together, during which time Gaudino would stay with Spinoli temporarily.
As he drove, Spinoli asked, "Claudio, you seem to like Lee very much?" β
Gaudino looked out the window and replied, "This kid is indeed very special, as they say.
I'm now more certain that it's not his fitness issues that will be the first thing to solve.
As you said, and everything we learned about him in China, this kid has improved so much in the space of a year.
Carlo, have you ever heard of an old Indian proverb?
Don't go too fastβ"
Spinoli answered: "Wait for the soul! β
"Yes!" Gaudino nodded, and then said: "The fact that I can't play now seems to make this kid seriously anxious, but in fact, this is not the problem. β
He pointed to his temple, "It's here."
I'm sure you've done a good job before, but I think the first thing to do is to restore the 'balance' in his mind. β
Spinoli shrugged: "Claudio, you've really changed, you're not like that before!" β
Gaudino smiled: "At your age, I feel like an 'animal trainer', facing young, muscular, hormone-filled lads like a pack of wild animals.
At that time, I believed that I had to get them to obey me, and that 'taming' these bastards was my most important job.
Maybe because I'm old, I realized that things weren't supposed to be like this. β
β¦β¦
In the apartment, Li Liang and De Sanctis chatted, and when he heard that Gaudino had arrived, De Sanctis was amazed: "I know that Lippi's whole team has gone to China.
You're in luck, Lee, Gaudino is Italy's greatest fitness expert, you're going to be reborn!
By the way, what did he talk to you about today? β
Li Liang prevaricated and passed this conversation and rested early.
As soon as he entered the scene of virtual training, he told him about meeting Gaudino.
Like De Sanctis, he congratulated Li Liang: "Liangzi, you must know that Gaudino is a top physical trainer in the system, and it is very rare.
If you want to be coached by him in a virtual training, I can't help you make it happen!
You must seize this opportunity, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! β
Li Liang thought to himself, embarrassed, do you know?
Gaudino wants me to achieve a "breakthrough" as soon as possible and complete the indescribable immediately!?
Embarrassed to see Li Liang suddenly smiled ambiguously, Li Liang suddenly reacted, this guy can pay attention to everything that happens to him in real time!
He blushed and asked, "Embarrassment, do you know everything?" β
He smiled and said, "I think what this 'dirty old man' said is very reasonable."
In short, he is the absolute authority in this field, and my advice is that you should strictly 'follow' every word he says! β
Li Liang: "............"
During the second morning training session, many players exclaimed when Gaudino appeared on the training ground wearing the uniform equipment of the Monaco coaching team.
Raj and De Sanctis all respectfully stepped forward to say hello, and the players who recognized Gaudino looked in reverence, while the rest of the people whispered, asking what was sacred?
Li Liang was a little nervous, he was afraid that Gaudino would provoke some "sensitive topics" yesterday in public.
The main thing is that he is not willing to let his "biggest secret" of 26 years be made public.
Unexpectedly, Gaudino didn't say a word in the subsequent joint practice, just stood quietly on the sidelines to observe and record.
Everyone soon found out with envy that like the two old Italians before, Gaudino had only one focus in his eyes - Li Liang.
In the tactical session that followed, Caldeira announced his squad for the Carabao Cup match at home to Rennes two days later.
Created in the 1994-95 season, the League Cup in France is a single-elimination cup competition hosted by the French professional football leagues and limited to the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 clubs under the professional football leagues.
Like the winner of the French Cup, the winner of the League Cup can also play in the Europa League.
Since the 2006/07 season, the league has reformed its format to help Ligue 1 teams achieve better results in European competition, and the top two teams in the league from the previous season can get byes in the first round of the League Cup.
Yaldim saw the first round of the Carabao Cup as an opportunity to adjust the Devil's schedule during this period, so he continued to field up the bench, with most of his main players once again getting a rare rest.
Everyone understands that three days after this game, it will be a real tough battle to face the old league rival Leon at home.
There was no training session scheduled in the afternoon, and Li Liang began to train alone under the guidance of Gaudino, with Spinoli and all his assistants watching.
To Li Liang's surprise, Gaudino on the training ground was like a different person, with an amazing aura, and he seemed to exude a unique temperament even in his gestures.
In fact, from the moment Gaudino appeared in Latubi, from the reactions of his teammates, Li Liang found that this old man was completely different from the previous Pezzotti and De Rosso.
The intensity of Gaudino's first training was not large, and he only used some conventional means to briefly find out Li Liang's physical condition.
He told Li Liang: "I have complete trust in Carlo's work. You're in good physical shape and should be completely above average.
We'll be working closely together to find out where you really need help! β
The individual training time in the afternoon was not long, and to Li Liang's surprise, he easily completed all the projects set by Gaudino.
It was a far cry from the first training session of every strength and conditioning coach he's ever experienced. In Li Liang's imagination, he thought that Gaudino would give himself a dismissal, and on the first day, he would squeeze out all his potential and train himself to the bottom.
While he was still a little confused, Gaudino waved his hand at Spinoli and shouted: "Hurry up Carlo, it's about to start!" β
Then he turned to Li Liang and said, "Let's go, let's go to your classroom together!" β
Sitting in his seat, Li Liangcai suddenly remembered that today is the day of the draw for the 1/8 final of the Champions League!
There was still more than half an hour before the live broadcast of the lottery ceremony began, and everyone else left, leaving only Li Liang and the two Italians.
Li Liang suddenly had a bad premonition, because he found that the faces of the two coaches had the familiar ambiguous smiles on the streets of Monaco City yesterday.
The "dirty old man" nodded at Spinoli, and the latter asked Li Liang: "Li, did you make a good choice for the 3 suggestions that Claudio gave you yesterday?" β
Li Liang froze again, he looked left and right reflexively, and there was actually no one else in the classroom. Then he nodded and whispered, "I've thought about it." β
The two Italians looked at each other and smiled, Gaudino even rubbed his hands excitedly, and he asked directly: "Child, tell me about it!" β
Seeing two pairs of shining eyes staring at him tightly, Li Liang's face turned red again.
His voice was like a mosquito: "I still want to be with my girlfriend......"
