Chapter 165: Robot Challenge [First Weekend Update!] 】

[PS: This chapter is inspired by the intelligent robot football competition, and I suddenly feel that it is also very awesome to introduce robots into football training. 】

The two weeks have passed quickly in the mechanical hard work of Wen Zhihao, who has been at the training centre in recent days and found that the doors have been opened around the clock during the day, waiting for the first-team players to return.

Simeone's coaching staff will return to pre-season sooner than most, and the team's summary of last season and goals for the coming season must be finalized as soon as possible.

A few days ago, Simeone was still on vacation, and he was surprised to see a newspaper report about Wen Zhihao training alone at the Espino training center. Strictly speaking, Wen Zhihao is no longer an unknown rookie, but it is very rare to be able to maintain investment like this.

Every coach loves hard-working players. Simeone's first impression of Wen Zhihao was not bad, and these reports made Wen Zhihao's rating in his heart improve again.

The members of the coaching staff were also quite surprised to hear that such a new player had arrived, and they came to the gym as soon as they arrived at the training center, and happened to see Wen Zhihao doing push-ups.

Simeone introduced Wen Zhihao and the members of the coaching staff to each other, and the physical fitness coach Mendez praised Wen Zhihao: "It seems that the physical fitness is not bad, but I don't sweat much." ”

This sentence is in Spanish, Wen Zhihao can't understand it, but he can probably guess that the other party is expressing kindness, and he replied with a thank you in English.

Simeone casually told Wen Zhihao to learn Spanish as soon as possible in order to better integrate into the team, and Wen Zhihao agreed with a smile. Originally, when he signed the contract, the club had already thought about this issue, and the sporting director Correa even proposed to find him a Spanish translator, but Wen Zhihao politely declined. Having an interpreter does reduce the communication barrier, but it also makes the relationship between him and his teammates less close, which is also an important reason why most Chinese players are difficult to develop steadily in Europe, Wen Zhihao decided to wait until he can keep up with the pace of the team's training, and immediately find a Spanish teacher to overcome the language barrier.

Two days later, there were more big names in the training center, and Wen Zhihao met many familiar stars, Torres, Griezmann, Gabi, Koke......

A veteran like Torres, Wen Zhihao even grew up watching him play, and at that time he didn't dare to think that one day he would be teammates with a superstar of this level.

When Simeone introduced Wen Zhihao to these stars, Wen Zhihao was keenly aware of the expressions on the faces of these stars. Most of the eyes were staring at themselves, as if they wanted to see through themselves, only Torres's eyes were full of surprise, and he whispered to the French demon Griezmann next to him.

Wen Zhihao is more open-minded, in the eyes of these stars, the Eredivisie assist king is not convincing at all, and it is completely normal to doubt himself, after all, this is a team that wants to attack the Champions League champion.

What Wen Zhihao didn't expect was that Simone added next to him: "You can have your own thoughts in your hearts, but I want to tell you that there are still two weeks, and Wen has just turned seventeen." When you are seventeen years old, who can stand here? I hope you can improve together and I don't want any bad news to affect the team. ”

No one in the room spoke. Ask yourself, when they were about seventeen years old, they were still in the youth team of their parent team, or they were just starting out, and there was really no one who could stand here, and they came with personal honors.

For a while, Wen Zhihao felt that some of his eyes had changed, obviously a little more kindness, and a lot less questioning eyes.

The first training session after the holidays is focused on low-load recovery training. Wen Zhihao was called out by Simeone alone at this time: "Wen, you don't need to participate in the recovery training for these two days, your task is here, follow me." ”

Simeone put physical trainer Meendez in charge of everyone's recovery training, and he led Wen Zhihao to a small room on the second floor of the main building of the training center.

The team's first assistant coach Boggs and second assistant coach Viscanino are waiting here, Wen Zhihao felt the special room at first sight: hundreds of square meters, no windows, except for a door, completely confined space, in the middle is a huge round table, a ball is fixed on the sharp mark in the center of the round table, there is a small goal against the wall of the room, about the size of a goal in indoor futsal, three walls are equipped with cameras, and there are high-tech such as intelligent robots.

"What is it doing here?" Wen Zhihao asked curiously, he really couldn't think of what this training room was used for.

Boggs got Simeone's signal and said to Wen Zhihao: "This is our Atletico Madrid's reflexes, skills and flexibility testing room. Wen, do you see the robot hanging on the wall? It's the work of the world's top tech team, and in a moment these robots will land on the round platform around you, and they will not only be commanded to grab the ball at your feet, but you will also have to shoot the ball into the far goal for five minutes. Wen, let's give it a try. ”

Wen Zhihao was stunned when he heard it, man-machine battle?

High technology! It's really a big club, Wen Zhihao has never even heard of such a training method.

Wen Zhihao wears a special vest, and his data will be fed back to the computer in the control center in real time and mastered by the coaching staff.

"Wen, don't be nervous, just collect your basic data to facilitate future tactical arrangements." Simeone said to Wen Zhihao before exiting the room.

Wen Zhihao is actually not nervous in his heart, there is only the excitement and eagerness brought by the novelty, it is difficult to say whether he can win after a long time, but only five minutes, Wen Zhihao is still very confident.

The control center pressed a button, and the three robots slowly landed on the round platform, and the sharp mark that fixed the ball disappeared automatically, and then the indicator light on the front wall showed green, and the exercise officially began.

The three robots began to move in the direction of Wen Zhihao, and a mechanical rod similar to a rolling pin stretched out from the leg position, and the robot in front swept directly to the ball at Wen Zhihao's feet, the speed was not too fast, Wen Zhihao pulled the ball behind him, turned around, and successfully avoided the steal of the "other party".

In the control center, Boggs watched the scene with great interest and said to Simeone: "Diego, the technology is okay. ”

Simeone was expressionless and said to the technician, "Harder!" ”

The technician nodded, pressed a set of control buttons, and the training room turned into two robots approaching Wen Zhihao from the front and left, similar to the two people in the game, Wen Zhihao has been squeezed to the edge of the round platform, once the ball falls off the round platform, it will also be declared a failure. He firmly stepped on the ball with his right foot, and no matter how the mechanical stick poked, he was fully focused on not letting the ball out of his control, just like the scramble near the touchline in the game, the only difference was that these robots could not interfere with the ball control through small movements in their hands, and simply tested the basic skills and instantaneous reactions of the ball controller.

In the control room, the three coaches all watched Wen Zhihao take advantage of the time difference between the two robot movements in a very small space to switch the ball back and forth between the two feet.

"Frequency to seventy!"

"Hurry up, eighty!"

Simeone continued to increase the difficulty, and Wen Zhihao felt that the time difference between the two robots was getting shorter and shorter, but fortunately, he was fully focused, although the ball was poked a few times, but Wen Zhihao's remedy was very fast, and he could barely control the ball.

Wen Zhihao felt the pressure double, Boggs and Vescanino's mouths had opened wide to O-shape, and even Simeone stood up and stared at the screen with wide eyes.

This performance means that Wen Zhihao's dribbling and ball control level is close to the best level in European football.

The R&D team of this intelligent system has used the data of a generation of dribbling masters, Denilson, to calculate that Denelson can cope with the level of frequency 91.

"Diego, I don't think there's a need to test it, this performance is already very good, after all, he is not even seventeen years old."

"How much longer?" Simeone asked.

Boggs looked at the computer countdown: "The last half minute." ”

Simeone said: "Three machines together, I'm going to see his limits. ”

Boggs hesitated a little: "Is it necessary?" ”

Simeone turned his head, squinted and smiled, "Old man, what you see isn't all he sees. At the age of 17, he was able to win a double 10 in the Eredivisie in one season, and he still had something to show. ”

Simeone's eyes flashed with anticipation, he only had a general appreciation for Wen Zhihao before, but from this moment on, Wen Zhihao gradually gained a little weight in his heart.
