For Wolfsburg, the winter of the 10-11 season was long and cold.

Halfway through the season, VfL Wolfsburg finished 13th in the league with 19 points, the worst result difference in a few years, leaving fans worried.

And this winter, Dzeko, their best star, also chose to leave Germany for Manchester City. The team's once-proud squad is now in disarray. With the departure of the old players and the failure of the team's coach McClaren to establish new tactics, the situation at Wolfsburg has almost reached its most difficult moment.

Whenever a team faces the departure of a star and the disintegration of tactics, the most hopeful thing in the hearts of fans is undoubtedly the hope that new stars can emerge to fill the gaps and prevent the team's strength from plummeting. And in this winter, Wolfsburg has indeed brought in some players, and these players will be the new future of Wolfsburg.

It's just that as a newcomer who has high hopes from fans, Gao Shunyao is still trying his best to adapt to life in Germany at this time.

"When I first came here, I was really upset. The training here is much stricter, and it's really not the same level as the Asian side. But it's been almost a month since I've been here, so what's not used to it? Nothing can be difficult for me on the training ground. ”

Regarding his own situation, when Gao Shunyao was on the phone with his parents and friends, he never showed any uneasiness and anxiety between his words. For them, Gao Shunyao has always reported good news and not bad news.

However, look at the time and the time has come to mid-January, and the second half of the league season has reopened. But at this moment, coach McLaren. But he still hasn't been given any decent arrangements, in private. Gao Shunyao's mood was far less relaxed than what he had come out of.

It's been almost a month, and when he gradually adapted to the training here, Gao Shunyao gradually realized how big the gap between European football and Asian football is.

The training here is indeed better than that of Asian football - this advantage is not only reflected in the larger amount of training here, but also in the fact that the training here is more scientific and more attractive.

Physical training, strength training. Ball training, technical training...... During his time in Wolfsburg, Gao Shunyao's various trainings can be said to have opened his eyes.

In terms of physical training, his training is mainly mountaineering, frog jumping, push-ups, etc., and among the various trainings he is exposed to, the first thing he adapts to is physical training.

The reason for this. It is a lot of dù because the task of physical training is not too heavy.

Wolfsburg's physical training, like their scouting system, is said to be the standard system established when Magath was in charge. It's just that Magath is the most well-known physical training maniac in the world. He has extremely high demands on his physical training. During his years as a coach, Wolfsburg was said to be the first in the league in terms of training tasks. And as soon as he left, Wolfsburg's training weakened a lot. Although the pattern of training is retained, the intensity is up. It's not as good as it used to be.

After all, almost masochistic physical training is too much for many people to bear. Originally, during Magath's time, the rule was to practice three times a day, but after he left, there was not enough pressure, and the team automatically changed to two practices a day. No matter how many tricks there are in training, the total amount has decreased, and there is no difficulty, and their intensity is still very large for the average Asian player, but for Gao Shunyao, he can still adapt.

His body is still very good, and when he played in Japan, he always had the habit of practicing in private. After arriving in Germany, the heavier training tasks for him meant that he turned his usual training into a fixed requirement for the team, and it was not difficult for him to adapt to this.

There are slight differences in people's various physical qualities because of different races, just as black people are always the protagonists in sprint races, and white people are stained in swimming races, people of different skin colors have differences in some physical abilities, and some things are difficult to make up for by training.

However, among the various physical elements, the gap between people in terms of physical fitness is not the most obvious. As long as the yellow race is willing to train hard, they can still get good results, for example, Park Ji-sung is known for his ability to run, and the gap can be flattened by training in this regard. In the past few years, Gao Shunyao has always paid attention to the exercise of physical elements, and his body is one of his strengths, even if he goes to Germany, he can adapt very quickly.

In contrast, the changes in strength training are greater, and the new training methods have also opened Gao Shunyao's eyes. In Japan, his strength training is mainly done with various strength equipment, but here, the Germans have a new way to play.

The team prepared a lot of solid balls weighing five pounds, and these big balls were the training of the players.

The team asked the players to hone their strength by lying on the ground, holding their legs together at a 45-degree angle, and holding in the air.

This kind of training is very torturous for people, especially for those who have never been exposed to it. Even if Gao Shunyao asked himself about his physical condition, he was also devastated. He used to be a strong player, but after training like this, he realized that he could do better in training.

Although the effort is great, Gao Shunyao also feels that it is very worthwhile. Moreover, this kind of training is also quite meritorious. Strength training is very boring, and being able to combine it with soccer training is nice in itself.

The training was tough, but he wasn't too bad to get used to. He also believes that after practicing like this for a period of time, his level will make a qualitative leap.

In various trainings, compared to physical training and strength training, there is ball training, which makes Gao Shunyao feel a little unimaginably simple.

Training with the ball was originally Gao Shunyao's weakness, and he thought that when he arrived in Europe, he would need a while to adapt to training with the ball. But in the days of Wolf Castle, there are almost no particularly rigorous ball training, and a lot of ball training here is basically the same as the Japanese side, or even simpler.

Gao Shunyao doesn't know if this is Wolfsburg's consistent habit, or because the current coach, as an Englishman, doesn't like to train with the ball, so he deliberately cut the training with the ball. Whatever the reason, it was a boon to him. His worst project was not taken seriously, which made it a lot easier for him to adapt to training.

It's just that even though a lot of training in the Bundesliga is the same as in Japan, there are still some items that open Gao Shunyao's eyes. For example, there is a special water polo training that you can't see in Japan.

This kind of training is similar to beach soccer, except that the training field is not on the beach, but in a very shallow pool. In the pool, the players change into swimsuits and caps and play in the pool to better control the football at their feet.

When he was in Japan, Gao Shunyao was exposed to beach soccer, and in his opinion, playing beach soccer in Japan has already played a great role in promoting his football skills. It's just that he didn't expect that when he arrived in Germany, he also saw new training methods. According to the coach here, this kind of training technique has not appeared until about 08 years, and it has really begun to be used by football players, that is, in recent years, it is normal that there is no such thing in Asia.

The coach's words made Gao Shunyao only sigh: Europe is indeed worthy of high-level football. The software and hardware conditions on the European side can keep up, and many times they can develop some training methods on their own. In contrast, the Asian side can only learn from the Europeans, and there is inevitably a time lag - while in football, the time difference of three years is almost a generation.

In addition, some of the training programs themselves are determined by the national conditions of each country, and it is impossible for Japan to waste water resources in such a way. Moreover, playing football like this is very tiring, and the recovery methods on the Japanese side cannot keep up with the requirements, and the players cannot recover from playing football like this, and they can't use these methods.

However, Germany is different from Japan, where spas, massages and other recovery methods are better, and the players' bodies can be restored faster. And with these things as a guarantee, of course they can play in the water.

Playing soccer in the water is also a special form of training, which is very helpful for the player's flexibility, muscle strength and reaction speed. Comparatively speaking, this style of play can be said to be a better way to train on the beach. Because there is less pressure on the players' legs in the water, they can also train more intensively without worrying about causing problems to their meniscus, which also greatly enhances the effectiveness of the training.

Moreover, in the shallow pool, the resistance of the players to kick the ball has increased a lot, and because the water surface is not the ground, better ball control skills are required to be able to play well, which makes it much more difficult to control the ball, but this kind of training is also more open and not afraid of injury.

This kind of kicking method, Gao Shunyao tried it a few times, and he liked it. It's more fun to play like this than to play beach soccer. Playing like this is also good for his own growth, and he likes it very much.

In this training, although his level is a little worse, his enthusiasm is mobilized and he is very dedicated.

The training was indeed as he said, and he had basically mastered it all. A month is not a bad time, but for a player who is usually very strict with himself, adapting to the environment is enough. He believes that even if there is a big gap between Asian and European football, he can catch up.

For him, the only problem is the coach, and he has no plans to use it again. How long will it take for your training to get noticed by your coach? Gao Shunyao asked himself this question many times in his heart, but unfortunately he never had an answer.

This question made Gao Shunyao feel quite bad for a while: although he always didn't mention these things when he was on the phone, he was really in a bad mood during this time. (To be continued......)
