After a day's rest, Zhang Shu was mentally prepared for confrontation training before coming to the club again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the third time he has received individual training on the physical side, and he was impressed by the first two trainings.

Whether it is Cosimo or Mericini, although they are usually quite easy people to get along with, once they arrive at the training ground, they are like different people, cold, stern and impersonal. If they don't push Zhang Shu's body to the limit, they will never stop whistling.

As soon as he remembered the ghost-like Cosimo and Mericini he had faced twice before, Zhang Shu couldn't help but secretly speculate in his heart. Maybe that's a common problem with strength and conditioning coaches?

But no matter what kind of rigors he was going to face next, he thought he had adjusted his mentality, and this time, he would not be so embarrassed again.

As a result, when he actually started physical confrontation training, he found that the intensity of the training was greater than he had imagined.

The confrontation program is similar to his previous strength training, with the only difference being that the rest time between each set has become shorter, sometimes even about 10 seconds. Although it was only a shortened break, for Zhang Shu, he felt that his intensity had risen by several levels in an instant. After only a few sets, he felt exhausted.

"Whew~~~Whew~~~ Coach... This... This training program ... and before ... Muscle Gain Training... It's the same... He asked, breathless, expecting Merricini to give him a detailed explanation. That way he can rest for an extra minute or two.

But Merricini was not fooled, he looked at the stopwatch in his hand in silence, and as soon as the 10 seconds were up, he immediately whistled mercilessly: "Go on!" Next group! ”

Zhang Shu, who was about to foam at the mouth, could only stand on the equipment again, and continued the next training with a distorted expression.

It wasn't until Zhang Shu had done all the actions that Merricini slowly explained to him.

"Zhang, the training program you are doing now is indeed similar to the previous muscle-building training. Because small muscle groups can't be exercised alone, they must be driven by your large muscle groups to be exercised. So although we do the same thing, the purpose of our exercise is different, and the difference is in the interval between each set。。。。。。 ”

Merricini was also ready to explain the principles of physical training to Zhang Shu in great detail, but at this time, Zhang Shu couldn't listen to it at all.

He ran straight to the sink and threw up.

Mericini shrugged his shoulders in surprise, and he took out a special drink from the training box and handed it to Zhang Shu, who was lying next to the sink with a languid face.

"After drinking this bottle of water slowly, vomiting will cause your body to lose electrolytes, causing your body to recover more slowly. You have to replace these lost fluids and electrolytes. ”

"Coach, do you have to practice like this every day until you vomit in the future?" Zhang Shu leaned against the sink and asked weakly.

"Of course not." Mericini shook his head.

Hearing him say this, Zhang Shu's heart was much more relaxed, but Mericini continued.

"Being able to hold on until you vomit at least shows that your willpower is strong enough, and vomiting is just because you are too weak now. When you get used to this amount of exercise, it won't happen again. ”

"When the time comes, I will raise the bar for you again."

He looked at Zhang Shu and smiled excitedly.

Zhang Shu also slid to the floor as if he had been pulled out of his bones.

Zhang Shu's special training time included one training session in the morning and one in the afternoon, and due to the club's holiday, he had to go home for dinner at noon.

For his daily recipes, Mericini also made special customizations. Due to Zhang Shu's vomiting during the morning training, Merricini also specially changed the recipe for noon on this day to help Zhang Shu's body recover faster and give him the ability to complete the afternoon training.

He helped Zhang Shu, who could barely walk, to the parking lot and saw Han Yu who came to pick up Zhang Shu.

"Miss Han, you are in charge of Zhang's noon diet, right?" Merricini asked.

Han Yu looked at Zhang Shu, who had almost collapsed, and nodded subconsciously.

Mericini snapped his fingers, he had heard that Zhang had a housekeeper who helped him cook, but he didn't expect it to be such a young and beautiful Chinese girl. He handed a piece of A4 printer paper to Han Yu. "Zhang may not have much appetite at noon today, but he must be allowed to follow the recipe on this paper to consume enough nutrients, which is related to the effect of his next training. The recent training intensity is very high, if Zhang's nutritional intake is insufficient, it will affect the training effect, and it may cause him to be injured, so please be sure to strictly monitor his diet. ”

Han Yu took the piece of paper, and a full page was densely printed on it. She nodded solemnly, folded the paper and put it in her bag.

"Good." Mericini smiled and threw Zhang Shu into the car and waved his hand to Han Yu, "Then I'll leave it to you, goodbye." ”

Han Yu said goodbye to Mericini, she got into the driver's seat, and looked back at Zhang Shu, who was lying motionless and asleep in the passenger seat.

All along, Zhang Shu has shown her his excellent side, invincible on the field, loved by fans throughout the city of Brescia, obviously younger than himself, but he already has a high income that can be regarded as a high income in Europe, and he became famous at a young age, and everyone thinks he is an out-and-out genius.

But no one knows, behind the honor that everyone knows, how much effort he put in?

Han Yu leaned over with a smile and helped him fasten his seat belt, but she didn't wake Zhang Shu.

He looks so hard, let him sleep a little longer.

But the ringtone of the mobile phone rang in the car, and Han Yu watched Zhang Shu fumble in his pocket with his hands with his eyes closed, then took out the phone and pressed the connect button and put it in his ear.

"Hey, who?" He squinted his eyes and asked, "Vivi?" What's up? ”

Soon, he sat up straight and his eyes were open.

"You're coming to the first team? That's great! Zhang Shu almost jumped up from his seat, "What is there to think about!" Come on, come on, brother has you covered in the locker room! ”

He was so excited that Han Yu had to remind him to pay attention to safety and not to affect her driving.

Zhang Shu grinned and made an apologetic expression to Han Yu, and Viviano on the other end of the phone was still explaining his doubts to him in detail.

Regarding Viviano's concerns, Zhang Shu seemed to be indifferent.

"Vivi, you are also playing in the U19 league, coming to the first team, even if you can only be the third goalkeeper, the big deal is to play in the U19 game, you have nothing to lose, why give up this opportunity because of that ridiculous pride?" He waved his hand, "Besides, you don't necessarily have to be the third goalkeeper." ”

He took the phone and carefully helped Viviano with his ideas.

"Even if you go out on loan, you're guaranteed to get a chance to play? The biggest possibility is not to be a substitute goalkeeper, and he doesn't get a few opportunities to play every year. What's more, in fact, our team's back line is not much stronger than other teams in the middle and lower reaches of Serie A, so instead of going to other teams to compete with their goalkeepers, why don't you have the confidence to compete with our team's two goalkeepers? ”

"I don't know what Castellazi's strength is, anyway, he shouldn't be as strong as Sereni, otherwise how could he be loaned out. Since he and Agliadi are going to compete for a main position, I don't think the difference in strength between you and Agliadei is particularly large, and you are fully capable of competing with them. ”

"Or do you think you're far worse than Agriadi?"

It is estimated that Zhang Shu's agitation method has worked on Viviano, anyway, Han Yu saw that the smile on Zhang Shu's face became brighter and brighter.

"That's right! That's it! Pre-season training I'm waiting for you in the first team! Ha ha! ”

He said with a laugh, and hung up contentedly.

Zhang Shu's training continued day by day, and Mazzoni continued to expand the strength of the team.

Since Bacchini has just returned from injury and has not yet been tested by the game, although the team bought the ownership of Bacchini from Parma, but to be on the safe side, Brescia bought Stefano Mauri from Modena, the attacking midfielder can play multiple positions in the middle and on the left, so that when Bacchini is not up to the game, Zhang Shu can fill the vacancy of Bacini, and the combination of Finipini and Mauri ensures that Brescia still maintains enough bench depth on the left wing.

At the same time, Pep Guardiola's advice to Mazzoni has not forgotten that without Appia, a defensive stalwart like Appia, Brescia has set their sights on Inter Milan's veteran Di Biagio.

The 32-year-old was once at the heart of Italy's midfield, with an aggressive approach, solid defence and a great sense of the big picture, as well as an excellent long ball and ball. In the first group game of the '02 World Cup, it was his long ball that assisted Vieri to score the game-winning goal and help Italy beat Ecuador 2-0. However, he was injured in the following training session and Italy lost to Croatia and were held to a draw by Mexico. Finally, in the subsequent 1/8 finals, he was eliminated by the South Korean team.

In this summer transfer period, Inter Milan coach Cooper began to bring in new midfield blood in a big way, and for a veteran like Di Biagio, Cooper did not mean to keep him, so after his contract with Inter Milan expired, Di Biagio became a free agent.

Brescia had already tasted the sweetness of veterans like Baggio and Pep Guardiola, who had a certain amount of quality and did not need to spend transfer fees, so when Mazzoni considered a midfielder, Di Biagio's name was the first to enter the old manager's mind.

After more than a month of negotiations, Di Biagio finally reached an agreement with Brescia that he will be part of the Brescia team next season.

'I've had a lot of fun at Inter Milan for a couple of years, but now I'm going to put myself into a new group and face new team-mates, I know Robbie very well and being able to play with him is one of the reasons why I joined Brescia, and Pep Guardiola, the thought of playing with him makes me excited.' Speaking to the media, Di Biagio said.

Di Biagio, who scored four goals in 25 appearances last season, is a bit short of his peak but his fitness is still good, and he is a player he can trust as a regular alongside Pep Guardiola or in rotation with Matuzalen in midfield for Brescia.

With the purchase of Mauri and Di Biagio, Brescia's budget was almost at the bottom.

Although Di Biagio does not need a transfer fee, such a former superstar has no low salary in the case of a free transfer. Brescia's results this season have been quite good, but they have not helped them much in terms of financial revenue.

The sponsorship of the team has been set a long time ago, the two sides have signed a contract for several years, and there is no incentive clause in the contract to enter the Champions League, so Brescia cannot get more money in terms of team sponsorship.

The same is true for TV fee income, which is the TV fee for Serie A teams, which is the contract signed by each team with the TV station on its own. As a result, big clubs can earn huge amounts of broadcast fees, while smaller clubs like Brescia don't get as much as 10% of the big three.

Prior to last season, Brescia's president, Coriooni, had agreed to a strike by 17 teams in the lower middle and lower divisions of Serie B over the unfair distribution of television broadcast fees, resulting in a three-week delay in the start of the Serie A competition. Thanks to Brescia's good results this year, Coglioni is more emboldened and is in contact with other clubs to seek a fairer distribution of broadcast fees in the form of a boycott again.

But until that was successful, the cost of television broadcasts was still a tiny fraction for Brescia.

As for ticket revenue, not to mention, the city of Brescia has a population of only 100,000 and the stadium is often underserved, and although the good results in the second half of the season have led to an increase in attendance, the stadium capacity is only 27,000 people, so you can imagine how pitiful the ticket income is.

In the end, there is only the prize money for the Champions League match, which will not arrive until next season, and Brescia does not dare to use it in advance.

After all, Brescia's third-place finish in the league will require them to qualify for the Champions League play-offs. Perhaps for the teams who have finished third and fourth in Serie A before, the play-offs will be nothing more than a simple one-way game, but Brescia does not dare to do so.

If the budget for the Champions League prize money had been planned ahead of time and the qualifiers were not won, a small club like Brescia could not afford not to come up with such a huge amount of money.

So this bonus is included in the plan for the renovation of the stadium, after all, in case of an accident, the stadium will not be repaired for the time being, and there will be no major problems, but if the player's salary cannot be paid, this is a big * trouble.

As for the other league ranking bonuses, fan store sales and other miscellaneous income, it is a drop in the bucket for the team's expenses.

With such financial constraints, Brescia's remaining players can only choose to reclaim their own players on loan, or buy the young players who already have half ownership.

However, Mazzoni is satisfied, and in his mind, the squad for next season's Champions League campaign is only one piece of the puzzle left.

He flipped through the folder in his hand, and it was full of training reports from the past few days.

When Zhang Shu was trained to death by Merricini, for Mazzoni, he saw the possibility of being a threat to opponents in Champions League-level competitions.

The strongest is in the battle. (To be continued.) )
