On a summer morning in Riyadh, there are always some people who wake up much earlier than the locals.

Riyadh in the summer is unusually hot during the day, so under normal circumstances, no one wants to do outdoor activities in Riyadh during the day, even if they sunbathe, they choose to do it when the sun is not at its strongest.

Riyadh isn't too warm in the morning, as it's a desert and the temperature difference between day and night is inevitable, but it's perfect for jogging and walking.

Riyadh is a city that floats on oil, but the owner of this city is very long-term, he knows that oil will run out one day, and even if it is not used up, it will gradually be eliminated with the development of the times, so how to continue the life of this city that has risen with the development of oil, it can only seek another sustainable development path.

Every year, the owner of the city invests one-tenth of his income in scientific research, the main direction is desertification prevention and desalination, this money is a huge amount of money in any country in the world, so with the continuous research and development, Riyadh's urban environment is getting better and better, which also makes its tourism income begin to increase.

Every summer, many of the world's well-known athletes come to Riyadh for summer training and relaxation, and the early morning temperature is more suitable for outdoor activities, so many athletes will choose to go out to train in the early morning.

After the Yangtze River women's volleyball team played the fourth round of the AFC Champions League with the Jakarta Modalen women's volleyball team, they also settled in Riyadh to build a summer training base specially built for athletes from all over the world.

After a simple break and relaxation for three days, the offseason training of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team began.

The training in the offseason is much less than usual, and it is basically some training to maintain the state, but Wang Lei is the first time to come here for summer training, so he deliberately added a training, that is, a morning run every morning.

At five o'clock in the morning, many athletes or locals did not come out to move, but the streets of Riyadh will often run a group of girls with long legs, and the world's supermodels can only look up in front of them, and on their side, Wang Lei, who is accompanied by an electric balance car, seems more or less shameless, because he requires the girls not only to simply jog and relax, but also to run at various speeds according to his whistle.

Since Wang Lei took office, the Yangtze River women's volleyball team has always attached great importance to physical training, because Wang Lei knows that all sports are based on physical fitness, without the guarantee of physical fitness, there is no way to talk about other technical and tactical drills, after the decline or lack of physical fitness, anyone who does technical actions will be more or less deformed, and this is actually a major reason for athletes' injuries, so Wang Lei's concept is to ensure the abundance of physical fitness before improving the technical and tactical level. In this way, there is no need to worry about the physical damage of the players in the next technical and tactical drills, and at the same time, it can also ensure that most people can improve in the subsequent technical and tactical drills.

Talented players do exist, but even the most talented players need to train day and night to develop his potential, Wang Lei's special ability ensures that he can control the amount and degree of player training well, which is why he can quickly improve the performance of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team.

After the morning training, the players of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team will continue to train for a period of time.

Wang Lei for each player's characteristics to develop only their own training volume and training direction, indoor strength training will be more boring, so Wang Lei will also add some interesting training in strength training, this is actually Wang Lei's consistent purpose, can not let athletes get tired of training, must let them devote themselves to training, so as to improve the quality of training, and now it is the offseason, players from the bottom of their hearts are actually resistant to training, so in this regard Wang Lei attaches special importance to his" "Don't let the milk be poured into the players in waves."

Overall, the improvement of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team during this period is still obvious, not to mention anything else, the atmosphere in their team alone can make many teams envious, earn money and earn money, if you can still have a good mood while earning money, this is undoubtedly the best for players.

Li Yun's injury was diagnosed after the game, which can be regarded as serious, after all, she is almost thirty years old, and her recovery will definitely not catch up with the young players, and it is not serious, because if her injury recovers well, it will only take two months to recover, which is undoubtedly light compared to Ma Dongmei's previous injury.

Riyadh has almost the best sports injury hospital in the world, so Li Yun is directly treated here, and the climate here is actually more suitable for athletes to recover from injuries, dry and warm climate is more suitable for athletes to recover than humid environment, which is the result of research in recent years.

The overall improvement of the team is very fast, and the ability of individual players has also been newly developed under Wang Lei's tutelage.

For example, Zhou Lingling, who was originally a relatively rare tall setter, although she is certainly not as dexterous as a shorter player, but this also gave her a new direction of development.

Wang Lei asked Zhou Lingling to strengthen the training of lateral movement speed, and at the same time her weight was a little too large, which affected her blocking efficiency to a certain extent, so in this summer training, Zhou Lingling mainly lost weight and carried out lateral movement training, in addition, Wang Lei asked Zhou Lingling to start strengthening the ability to smash the ball in front of the net, which sounds a little vexatious, after all, Zhou Lingling is a pure setter, but Wang Lei insisted on letting Zhou Lingling do such training, Because she thinks an aggressive setter is a good thing for the team.

Liao Qing and Xu Yunxin were also asked by Wang Lei to strengthen the training of lateral movement, which is actually a basis for strengthening the ability to block the net, after all, the opponent's attack in the game is changeable, and the blocking can only be completed according to the situation at the time plus the rapid movement of the player, and its basis is lateral movement and hand movements.

Before Wang Lei in the team training required every player to pay attention to the details of the training, this habit has been maintained, the current Yangtze River women's volleyball team, can be said to be a very clear division of labor team, Gao Ming is responsible for information collection and data collection, the old coach Zhan Xiongfei is responsible for picking out the details, after all, he is experienced, and the team is old, no one will have an opinion on him, and Wang Lei is mainly responsible for the team's mentality adjustment and total control.

Although Wang Lei is reluctant to let Ma Dongmei continue to be the captain from the bottom of his heart, but since the victory over the Mo Dalun women's volleyball team, Ma Dongmei, the temporary captain, has been recognized by everyone, Ma Dongmei was still an ignorant little girl before the injury, and she didn't know how to communicate with her teammates as a captain at all, and now Ma Dongmei's growth is witnessed by everyone, Wang Lei has made the mistake of caring about chaos at this point.

Ma Dongmei in the process of this summer training is mainly to strengthen the sidespin serve and smash training, she is now completely towards the direction of the all-round warrior development, but Wang Lei has always controlled the amount of Ma Dongmei's training, he does not want Ma Dongmei to be hit by injuries again, like Li Yun's appearance shows that Wang Lei's ability is not omnipotent, he also has negligence, the injury of the core players is sometimes very powerful, and even affects the efforts of a team for a whole season, so Wang Lei is now very concerned in this regard.

Some of the young players in the team have grown rapidly in this summer training, they have a coach who is very good at adjusting the atmosphere, and they also have a captain with very comprehensive technical ability as an example, so when young people are willing to devote themselves to training, the quality of their training is very high, and Wang Lei is also a coach who dares to boldly use young players, so the young people in the team will not be distressed that they can't get ahead, like Ai Xiaoxiao and Gu Lina are young players who have just come of age. And now they are successful rotation players with half a season of professional experience.

During the two weeks in Riyadh, Wang Lei also had exchanges and matches with some European teams that came to summer training in a timely manner, although they were all closed training matches, but this was undoubtedly a good experience opportunity for the young players in the team.

Seeing different styles of teams, increasing their knowledge of the world's top players, and experiencing different confrontation intensities, the summer training of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team can be said to have achieved the best results, which is a good preparation for them in the second half of the season.

In addition to daily training and exchange games, Wang Lei also often goes to other teams' residences to take a look, and someone in the team said to Ma Dongmei that this is a sign that her brother-in-law is going to "cheat", but Ma Dongmei knows very well what Wang Lei is going to do.

The Yangtze River women's volleyball team has basically been hollowed out after a turmoil, and even a Korean foreign aid who received youth training in the Yangtze River women's volleyball team left the team directly and went to play in the Southeast Asian Major League, the atmosphere in the team was very bad at that time, many people think that foreign aid and players from other countries are traitors, and they do not stick to the team, and the Yangtze River women's volleyball team does not need foreign aid or Asian foreign countries in the future, but Wang Lei knows that this perception is still relatively biased, and his eyes are black after taking office, And at that time, it was not suitable to introduce foreign aid to affect the atmosphere of the team, so there has been no foreign aid in the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, but now it is different, the team has a good competition mechanism, and the players have also recognized Wang Lei's status and ability.

Therefore, Wang Lei took advantage of the opportunity of many foreign athletes to come to Riyadh for summer training and began to look for foreign aid suitable for the Yangtze River women's volleyball team.

Wang Lei didn't think about looking for a famous star or a big name, the foreign aid he was looking for must be a player who is suitable for the atmosphere and playing style of the Yangtze River women's volleyball team, like some teams in the Southeast Asian Major League are looking for a famous player, but after finding it, I found that this is a player, the whole is an aunt and grandmother, the same as the richest man in the world, and in the end there is no way to provide for it, after all, people are found by themselves, if the inside story is directly disclosed, the management will definitely be attacked, and so, they can only accept their fate and stay up until the other party's contract expires and leaves.

Wang Lei doesn't want to find an aunt and grandmother for his team, he would rather find some young people who are not well-known, but can make up for the team's shortcomings, which not only costs less, but also is not easy to cause changes in the team.

After this period of observation and clever assistance, Wang Lei basically determined some goals, one of them is a young player from Italy, she plays for the Italian club Siena, which is not a strong team, and this name is called Lucia? Lakala's 20-year-old young player is not the core of Siena's team, this is Wang Lei's most optimistic foreign aid, although the physical fitness is not outstanding, but Wang Lei led the team to play an exchange match with Siena and found that the player's position judgment is very accurate, is a good free man embryo.

In addition to this young Italian player, Wang Lei also took a fancy to several players from Eastern Europe, but he was still not ready to let the team introduce Eastern European players after consideration, although the price of Eastern European players is generally not high, but you must know that many of them come with other purposes, such as immigration, which is easy to cause some unnecessary disputes, and even affect the unity of the entire team, so the Eastern European players were given up by Wang Lei.

As for the players from the Americas, they are not in Wang Lei's consideration at all, North American players have excellent physical fitness but lack enough agility, while South American players are top physical but they are all very lazy, this is not the type of player Wang Lei wants.

After determining the goal, Wang Lei called the general manager of the team, Zhang Sixuan, and asked him to follow up, and he had to lead the team back to China next, the offseason has basically come to an end, and there are still a bunch of things to deal with in China, and the players should also get a certain rest, and the two-week summer training can be regarded as a successful end.
