Chapter 107: Special Training
Eduardo's Portuguese translator, Marcel, finally arrived before Eduardo introduced himself to his teammates, his home was in Stuttgart, but he had been in Portugal all the time, and he was very unfamiliar with Hoffenheim, so he drove for a long time to arrive.
Although Rangnick was keen to get him out, Eduardo, his important recruit, was in dire need of a translator, the Brazilian had been listening to music, but he was obviously a little impatient with his playful and active nature.
As soon as the translator arrived, Eduardo introduced himself to his teammates, talking about his impressions of Germany and Hoffenheim, and he spoke so fast that Marcel was a little overwhelmed at first, but Marcel soon got used to it. The arrival of the translator made Eduardo feel better, and he immediately talked to his teammates casually, and he actually compared his annual salary with Demba Ba.
Rangnick is an easy-going category among the Germans, but he is still not very accustomed to the casualness of the Brazilians and the casualness of the Africans, he coughed and said: "Now that everyone knows each other, I want to talk about our training and playing style, our current 30 players come from all over the world, and everyone has different football traditions, and the football training they receive is also different, and they have their own emphasis, but after coming to Hoffenheim, everyone can only have one style, that is, Hoffenheim's style, so what is Hoffenheim's style?" Our style is to attack and attack until we win, my style of play is simple, fast, direct, the whole court to press the opponent, every player has to be where he should be, you don't need to look at the situation on the field to know where the ball should go; In general, backhaul and cross-pass are not allowed......"
Rangnick is like his nickname professor, his speech is also methodical as in class, after talking about Hoffenheim's style of play, and then Rangnick talked about Hoffenheim's training, which is the focus of his talk, because the team's style of play is formed in training, and if you don't solve the training problem, everything is empty talk, and it is never a responsible coach to expect the players to run in on their own in the game.
"Our training is different from that of other teams in Germany, and certainly not as devilish as Magath, we train for four hours in the morning and afternoon, because our style of play is very physically demanding, and you have to train like this if you want to last a season."
Rangnick's words still caused a lot of repercussions among the newcomers, of course, all of them were negative, because even in leagues like Norway and Belgium, players usually train for three to four hours a day, at most five, but now they have to train for eight hours, and it is strange that these newcomers have not reacted at all.
"Then we don't have time to eat and go to the bathroom." This is Dengba Ba's complaint.
"Do we still have time to go out and have fun?" Eduardo took off his hat in surprise and wanted to wave it, but remembered that it was in Germany and immediately put it down.
Rangnick was unmoved, and he didn't blame them, after all, it had just arrived, and the record had to be ordered to be carried out slowly, he explained quietly: "These eight hours include football games and rest time, well, going to the bathroom is also counted, as for entertainment, you have time at night, as long as you don't delay our training, Konetka will conduct video analysis for you, and get all your specific data, whoever is lazy and has no state, Konetka will tell me, I'll train him individually, or punish him. β
As soon as Rangnick said this, almost all the newcomers' faces were elongated, and the training actually had to be analyzed on video data, which was too perverted, and it seemed that there was no drama if they wanted to be lazy.
Rangnick pointed to a strange machine on the edge of the training ground, and said: "This is a high-tech product that was only acquired during the winter break, an automatic passing machine, it is a robot, called Nanni, the meaning of nanny, it can simulate crosses, shots or some other actions, there are only two such machines in Europe, one in Munich, and one is here." When punishing, this robot will accompany you, and it will not get tired. β
The old man in Hoffenheim also grew his face when he heard this, and the newcomers began to turn green, this kind of punishment is really too perverted, and the coach Sven in front of him, who was wearing glasses and was a little colorblind, seemed to have a pair of wings on his back at this time, and it was still black.
Rangnick was very satisfied with the effect of his speech, smiled, and said: "Actually, our training is not bitter, think about you playing ball when you were young, twenty hours a day is not too much, most of us are training with balls, confrontation on large venues, confrontations on small venues, completely simulating the scene of real games, who wants to train a special project alone, they will practice by themselves." Or go to Nanny the robot, and besides, the eight-hour training is not only physical, but also includes a range of content from the brain to the mental, mainly by Konnetka's pilot training and Dr. Herman's psychological counseling. β
Hearing that the players were in a much better mood without having to do boring running and shooting training, Eduardo took the lead and applauded, saying: "It's good to play ball, I like to play ball the most, eight hours a day is not much, but why do we have pilot training, are we going to fly planes?" β
"Pilot training requires trainees to process a lot of information per second and react correctly, which trains your brain and helps you react faster so you can take on more pressure," Rangnick said. β
Rangnick said that Li Huan was deeply touched by the pilot training, which was one of the deepest feelings he felt after coming to Germany, in addition to the passing robot Nanni just now, Germany's football talent cannot be compared with Brazil, but in the history of world football, that is, they can compete with Brazil, it is because they are good at training themselves with high technology, Li Huan has lived to 2014 in his previous life, eight years more advanced than the current world, but the Chinese football equipment and concept in 2014 are still behind the current Germany. When it comes to the use of science and technology, German football is at the forefront of the world. It is because of Konnetka's pilot training that Li Huan's midfield awareness is better than in his previous life, so he can play so well in the last German Cup game against Hamburg.
Followed by Dietma. Hope also made a speech, the rich owner spoke without a bit of copper smell, he focused on the team's development vision, become a Bundesliga giant, continue the history of a hundred years, and mentioned an exciting news, if Hoffenheim can play in the Bundesliga, he will give Hoffenheim a brand new stadium and a new training base that can accommodate at least 30,000 people, making it a paradise for all European players.
Dietma. Hopper's foresight and wisdom drew warm applause from the players, and the stands were very close to the stadium, and the onlookers heard Hopper's words very clearly, and they all gave a thumbs up and shouted the name of the Hoffenheim father, while Jia Lei, a reporter for China's "Weekly", was constantly using a camera to record the start of a new day at Hoffenheim, and then passed these images and information to the Chinese fans in the far East. Although Li Huan has only been in Hoffenheim for less than half a year, many Chinese fans have fallen in love with this rural team, and they want to get news related to Hoffenheim and Li Huan every day, which is also the reason why Jia Lei came to Hoffenheim again from Cartbus, because Li Huan has an inexplicable resistance to the Chinese football circle, and in the Chinese journalist circle, only this Jia Lei, who looks like Shu Qi, can get close to Li Huan and get some news from him that others can't get.
The lunch break was not long, and the food was delivered to Chahead's tavern, and of course many players went back to their homes for dinner, but because the team has just returned from vacation, Rangnick has asked to eat nutritious meals in the restaurant until the day of the official game.
Although the noon training time is long, but because they are all ball training, the players are very interested, and they don't feel much tired, the newcomers are very young, only Ibisevic is over 20 years old, only in the morning, Demba Ba, Obasi and Eduardo are playing hot, and Li Huan and the older Ibisevic are obviously more talkative. And two Academy companions, Weiss and Jaisler, went to their then-head coach Gomminginger with a nutritious meal to catch up.
As soon as he ate the unpalatable nutritious meal, Eduardo, Demba Ba, and Obasi walked to the table of Sarihovic, Li Huan, and Ibisevic, and the interpreter Marcel also followed.
Eduardo said lightly to Li Huan: "Chinese, I want to try a free kick with you, how about it?" Do you dare to take the call? Whoever loses will give up the penalty for the free kick. β
Obasir also said: "I'm second. β
Demba Ba said with a smile: "Although my free kick is not good, I also want to see Xiao Li's flying knife." β
SarihoviΔ whispered to Ibisevic in Serbian: "They are looking ugly. It's hard to say if it can be compared. β
Ibisevic chuckled: "Actually, I would like to see it too, after all, I saw it on TV, and their challenge satisfied my curiosity." β
It's all about free kicks and penalties! Li Huan quietly put down the knife and fork, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin slowly, stood up and said, "Okay, let's go, digest and digest nutrients." β
At this time, the new and old players of Hoffenheim were shocked, and when they saw Demba Ba, Obasi and Eduardo challenging Li Huan's authority, they all came over to watch the jokes of the three newcomers, and they all clearly remembered how badly Sarihovic lost at that time.
