When Mazzoni heard Zhang Shu's initiative to ask for help, the smile on his face instantly froze.

"I'll ask Alcid and Mericini to do a check-up for you in the afternoon, if you're in good shape..." After a few seconds, the old man said with a frown.

"Don't worry, Daddy! I promise to leave Mr. Alcid speechless! Zhang Shu, who thought that he had once again been indulged by the coach, happily ran into the training team, and in the following training he seemed to work very hard, as if he wanted to show the coach his endless physical strength.

At the end of the session, he even announced to Viviano in advance in the dressing room that he would be playing in the next Coppa Italia.

Isn't it just a physical fitness test.,The "stagnation" skill to restore physical fitness has already cooled down.,Use the skill once before the afternoon test.,Isn't it appropriate to have a routine check?

Viviano, who heard the news, was naturally sincerely happy, and Zhang Shu's appearance added a little more security to Brescia, who had already stepped into the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup with half a foot. Win games, advance, and you will definitely have more opportunities to perform, and who doesn't like that as a professional player?

Zhang Shu, who was excited, even couldn't wait to pull Viviano to U19 to find Turio after the morning training, and made an appointment to have dinner at home in the evening, and by the way, they watched the draw for the Champions League round of 16 on TV.

.

But after the afternoon inspection, the results were very different from what Zhang Shu expected.

"It can't be! Mr. Mericini! ”

Zhang Shu waved the test report in his hand and said eagerly: "Don't you see that I have completed every test?" Why can't you meet the playing standards!? ”

"Zhang, let me tell you." Alcid, the team doctor, took the report from Zhang Shu's hand and explained it to him one by one.

"We usually monitor training intensity by multiplying our designed exercise intensity coefficient by the perceived exercise intensity (RPE) score as a reference. I see that you have checked the score of this exercise conscious intensity, which represents a very relaxed, relaxed and ordinary 1-3 points, right? ”

"That's right! I think I did it with ease! Zhang Shu excitedly defended, "Mr. Merricini can testify that when I did pre-season physical training with him, the intensity was much higher than this!" I didn't deliberately fill in the low score! ”

"I know, I know." Alcid hastened to reassure him. "It's just a test, it's not a physical exercise, and of course the intensity won't be too much." Seeing that Zhang Shu did not speak, Alcide continued. "But in addition to the training intensity rating, the health perception rating is another important tool for us to monitor the physical condition of our players. The Health Perception rating mainly reflects the degree to which the player's body recovers after training. It includes a score of three areas: sleep quality, muscle aches and overall fatigue. ”

"My usual scores in these items are not bad in the team!" Zhang Shu said unconvinced.

Alcide smiled and winked at Zhang Shu, "That's right, Zhang, but there are too many subjective factors for players to score themselves. You think you can score 5,6 on the overall fatigue score? And your teammate may have the same level of fatigue as you, but he only gives himself 4,5 points. So this side-by-side comparison between different players is meaningless. We generally only use the comparison of the player's own scores from different time periods as the basis for testing. And your average score this month is down 0.3 from last month, and generally speaking, a drop of 0.5 in average score basically means that your physical reserves are almost exhausted. ”

"And, compared to the self-assessment score, the instrument doesn't lie." Alcide pulled out another piece of paper from his folder. "By measuring how quickly your heart rate recovers after aerobic and anaerobic exercise, we can easily compare it to how quickly you recover at the start of the season when you are full. And you're now about 20% less recovering than you were at the beginning of the season. ”

"At the beginning of the season, you get a 50% drop in glycogen phase in your body's muscles after a race, two or three days before a race, and then it returns to normal after an average of 2.5 days. And now, you've dropped 57 percent. The recovery speed has also been increased to 3 days. ”

"At the same time, after a 15-minute jog of 30%-60% VOR max after strenuous exercise, your lactate breakdown rate is also about 10% lower than at the beginning of the season."

"And...

"Doctor!" Seeing that Alcide was about to start a tirade, Zhang Shu hurriedly interrupted the other party, "I don't understand this, but obviously Mr. Merricini said that my physical strength is enough to complete a game, I think I have no problem... ”

Alcide shook his head, and pushed his fingers up the glasses that had slipped to the tip of his nose from looking down at the report, his serious eyes staring through the lenses into Zhang Shu's eyes.

"Yes, you don't have a problem with a single game. Even the next second, third game was no problem. ”

"But Zhang, if you want to finish the whole season and not suddenly lose your strength or even get injured in training without warning in an important game, then I suggest you learn to give up."

"After all, you're still young."

Zhang Shu finally gave up the idea of convincing the team doctor. In the face of Alcid's full of dry goods, he really couldn't do anything. The only thing he worries about now is how to tell his friends that he can't fight with him when he gets home.

.

"Hahahahaha!!"

Viviano leaned on the table and laughed maniacally, hammering the table with his fists to show his inner joy. Turio sat on the side and was a little confused, "I think since Mr. Alcid has made a report, then I should listen to him, right?" After all, he is the professional. ”

Zhang Shu's face was depressed. "Anyway, I think I'm fine, Mr. Alcid definitely received instructions from Daddy!" He gritted his teeth as he shoved a fork of vegetable salad into his mouth and muttered as if it were not food that he had bitten into his mouth, but Archid, Brescia's team doctor.

Seeing Zhang Shu's appearance, Viviano smiled even more happily, until he saw Zhang Shu's eyes becoming more and more murderous, he couldn't easily restrain his smile and leaned back in his chair: "Congratulations, Zhang, this own goal is as wonderful as your other goals!" ”

After saying this, Viviano finally didn't hold back, and laughed again with a "poof".

"Hey! VVI! Don't you have any regrets! Zhang Shu shouted dissatisfiedly.

This time Viviano finally got serious.

"Zhang, do you look down on us too much?" As he spoke, he bowed from his chair, pulled a plate of mapo tofu in front of Zhang Shu with his long hand, picked it up and drove most of it into his bowl with a spoon.

"Leave me some, bastard!"

Ignoring Zhang's roar, Viviano stretched out a finger and shook it. "Zhang, is this matter actually that important? It's just a Coppa Italia, and even without you, we have a good chance of qualifying. Don't forget that this is our home turf. ”

"But..." What else did Zhang Shu want to say.

But Viviano interrupted him, "Okay, okay, if you want to play in the Coppa Italia so much, if you can't play in the round of 16, then wait for the quarterfinals." Even if the coach still won't let you go in the quarterfinals, as long as we continue to win, the semi-final coach won't give up, right? Don't worry, there are opportunities. ”

He waved his hand heroically, as if the opponents of the Coppa Italia were all local chickens and dogs.

Seeing his friend's indifference that he couldn't play, Zhang Shu's heart suddenly relaxed.

Vivi, you must do your best!

He thought to himself.

"It's time to start the lottery!" At this time, Turio's sudden reminder quickly diverted everyone's attention.

.

While Zhang Shu was talking to his friends, the Champions League draw on TV had reached its most important moment.

The draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League was held in Nyon, Switzerland. Brescia's manager, Pedsori, and captain Baggio were present as representatives of the club. But Zhang Shu didn't see them on TV, after all, Brescia was just a small club in the whole of Europe, and the broadcast camera only gave them a few quick glimpses.

Manchester United, Real Madrid, Arsenal, AC Milan, Bayern Munich... These star-studded names seem to radiate light and capture all the attention of the scene and in front of the TV.

Even Brescia, as the darkest dark horse in the group stage of this Champions League, does not get much attention in such a big scene. Compared to Baggio Pedsori, more viewers in front of the TV would like to see other big names.

For such treatment, Pedsori appeared a little dissatisfied. Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with the European giants, but it's a pity that the circle of bigwigs is not something that a small person like him can get into. After a few pleasantries, Pedesori had no choice but to give up and sit on the stool with Baggio, silently waiting for the next opponent brought by the hand of fate.

Eight teams were drawn first, with Sparta Prague, Celta, Lokomotiv Moscow, Bayern Munich, Deportivo La Coruna, Porto, Stuttgart and Real Sociedad taking on unknown opponents as home teams in the first round. As they only finished second in the group stage, they will face an unfavourable schedule of home and away fixtures.

"As long as we don't meet Bayern and Laco, I think we can still play other teams and qualify."

Viviano kept stuffing food into his mouth and muttered about it.

But Zhang Shu clearly disagreed.

"What happened to Bayern and Laco? I just want to draw them! It's fun to play with a strong team! ”

"Hmmm... Also, anyway, it is estimated that there is no team in this Champions League that can break through the door I guarded! Viviano thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"It's the first time I've met someone who says they can't play so much." Zhang Shu rolled his eyes.

"Uh-huh~~~ Thanks for the compliment." Viviano looked proud.

.

As time went on, Milan were the first to be drawn and they will travel to the Czech Republic to take on Sparta Prague, which is a good opponent for Milan. On the big screen at the scene, although Milan coach Ancelotti tried his best to suppress, he still couldn't control the corners of his mouth from rising.

Then Celta's opponents also came out, and Arsenal remained unbeaten all the way in the Premier League. Compared to Carlo Ancelotti, Professor Arsene Wenger looks much calmer. He just clapped his hands, and the close-up in front of the TV remained expressionless.

Lokomotiv Moscow take on Monaco in a game that looks like both sides have a good chance. Monaco have a slight edge, but the round of 16 is in February next year, and it is believed that a snowy Moscow will cause a lot of problems for Monaco from a warmer region.

"Hey, I'm so nervous," Viviano rubbed his hands, "there are only five teams left, 2/5 chances." ”

"Why are you nervous? No one can break through in the Champions League anyway. Zhang Shu squinted at him.

“。。。。。。” Viviano couldn't talk anymore.

The next team drawn will be the opponent of Deportivo La Coruna. The crowd watched as UEFA President Johansson reached into the glass box, took out a small ball, and displayed him in front of the camera.

"Juventus!"

"Hahahaha!"

The two people who were talking about their indifference to their opponents just now instantly stood up from the stool and slapped their hands across the dining table.

Compared with AC Milan, Zhang Shu and Viviano have a heavier grudge against Juventus, after all, Brescia has not been able to get any benefits from Juventus in the previous season. Now that the old woman had encountered a hard stubble, the two of them naturally gloated a little.

"Juventus meet Laco, maybe it will affect their league results!"

"That's right, that's right, when they lose two games, we win two more games, and maybe the league title is hopeful!"

"How far are we missing them now? I remember it's just 3 points, right? ”

"You said that if we win the championship, what kind of speech should we make at the championship parade?"

"Hahahahahahaha~~~~"

Looking at these two bad friends who were caught in YY and couldn't extricate themselves, Turio couldn't help but remind them: "It's about to draw Bayern's opponents." ”

"Hey, it doesn't exist, how can it be so coincidental~~~"

"1/4 of the probability, it is impossible to carry it so much~~~"

Zhang Shu and Viviano replied to Turio nonchalantly.

At this time, Johansson also pulled Bayern's opponents out.

"Game 5, away – Brescia. Against, Bayern Munich. ”

When the familiar name came from the TV, the two people who were celebrating each other suddenly petrified.

A second later.

"It's all your fault!" Zhang Shu relied on the advantage of reaction speed to take the lead in throwing the pot.

"It's fun to play a strong team as you say! You crow's mouth! Viviano was not to be outdone.

"You poisoned!"

"You set up the FLAG first!"
