Although Gao Shunyao believes that his arrival will usher in a new era for Wolfsburg, it is quite embarrassing that when Gao Shunyao transferred to Wolfsburg in January, his player meeting did not attract too much attention.

The most interesting thing in the whole Wolfsburg at this time is obviously Dzeko's transfer to Manchester City. The departure of a top striker has caused a lot of discussion in the German football community, and people's interest has obviously been sparked by that incident. Gao Shunyao's transfer was originally interested in some people, but before Dzeko's departure, his transfer news was dwarfed. At his player meeting, there were only a few media outlets who came to get to know him basically, and there were no more visits.

Their attitude did not surprise Gao Shunyao: although he is the top player in Asia, he really needs to start from scratch when he arrives in Europe. The strength of European football is strong, not comparable to Asia, and when you get here, you may not be able to play the main force in a short time, and these media's interest in them is mainly because of the Club World Cup some time ago, but in the face of Dzeko's transfer, the Club World Cup is not so important.

He understands this very well, and he is happy to do so: being covered at length by the media is also an invisible pressure on himself. When he first arrived, there was no need to put pressure on himself – because at this stage, all he needs to do is adapt to training and life.

The process was not easy - and he already had a preliminary understanding of it. When he arrived, Wolfsburg sent a coach from the team to arrange his training plan for him.

"Your first priority. It's about keeping up with the training, and then it's about learning to speak German. During these days. You don't have to think about the game just yet, as long as your level is good enough. The team will definitely arrange the game for you. The team is short of strikers right now, as long as you have the quality, you will definitely be able to get the team's reuse, you have to slowly adapt to the training first, and then think more. ”

After entering the team, the coach quickly assigned him a task, but when he heard that the team's coach assigned him a task, Gao Shunyao was in his words. I heard some perfunctory meaning.

His tone was full of encouragement, and no matter how he listened, he had a hopeless attitude towards Gao Shunyao. Listening to his tone, it seemed that for Gao Shunyao, keeping up with the rhythm of training was already a high demand, and he didn't expect Gao Shunyao to do more now. Such an attitude made Gao Shunyao quite dissatisfied.

"I'm able to adapt to training right now."

His words made Gao Shunyao very dissatisfied and replied directly. And hearing his answer, the coach just smiled. Take this as a joke.

"Football training in Asia, compared to football training in Europe, can be said to be quite amateurish. You can get used to the training there, I fully believe that. But when you get to Europe, the intensity of the training here, you'd better get to know it before you talk about it. ”

The contempt of the coach. It made Gao Shunyao want to see the intensity of training here, although he had also heard many rumors of the harshness of European football training. And I also know that it seems that Asian players who have come here before. A lot of them can't stand the intensity of training here. However, in his own opinion, the hard training is really not a reason not to adapt. Gao Shunyao himself thinks that he is a person with a very good body, and he can eat any kind of hard work.

The coach was not disgusted by his attitude, but took him directly to the training ground. Obviously, he wanted to use training to directly persuade Gao Shunyao to believe his words. Gao Shunyao knows that during this time, the Bundesliga is the winter break, and the players are also taking advantage of this time to accumulate physical fitness, so the team has more physical training. Presumably, from the coach's point of view, this kind of training is enough for Gao Shunyao to see his own shortcomings.

In Gao Shunyao's view, even if the training is different, it is all the same. When it comes to training equipment, the Bundesliga is good, but it's not much better than Japan: the Japanese aren't good at other things, but they're willing to invest in training equipment, and their training equipment is excellent. Turf, power rooms, beaches, multi-purpose halls, these things are already available in Japanese college football. Germany may be more perfect, but football is a kind of sport, and the training of sports is limited by the level of science and technology, even if their training is more rigorous, how strict can it be?

With this in mind, he walked into the training ground, but when it was time to change his clothes, he already realized that he seemed to be too naïve.

"What is this?"

When the training clothes were handed to him, Gao Shunyao immediately realized that something seemed to be wrong, the clothes in his hand seemed to be a little too heavy, it didn't look like a cloth clothes, but more like a ......

"There's lead in it."

The coach's answer proved Gao Shunyao's conjecture, but he guessed the result correctly, but he was not excited at all.

This kind of thing, is it really used for training? Why is a football training uniform filled with lead? In Gao Shunyao's memory, the clothes are filled with lead, which seems to be the plot of some Japanese comics, why does this kind of thing appear in football training?

"As I said, the intensity of training in Europe is not the same as in Asia. What was the training like when you were in Asia? Long-distance running training? And maybe training for highland running? I guess that's all there is to it. But as you can see, such training is clearly not up to the mark on our side. ”

Seeing that Gao Shunyao didn't understand, the coach also explained to him, his words were very relaxed, and explained to Gao Shunyao what the training in Wolfsburg was like, "Training here, most of the time, is to carry out weight training. Running with weights is a normal part of our training. Every morning at 7:30 a.m., we run for an hour of mountain weights – the gradient is usually 30-50 degrees, not particularly steep, but you need to get used to it. Weight-bearing running is a warm-up, and after weight-bearing running, there is a two-hour formal physical training, which should not be much different from your training, that is, frog jumping, switchback running, etc. And after that, the morning basically passed, and in the afternoon, we would have two hours of training with the ball, of course, with a solid ball......"

The coach talked about the training intensity of Wolfsburg, Gao Shunyao was more and more surprised when he heard it, he never thought that in football training, there would be such a training method, weight-bearing mountaineering, high-intensity training, solid ball ball training, these things are indeed not the same level of training as Japanese football.

The intensity of training here is completely unmatched by Japanese football.

And thinking of who the previous coach of Wolfsburg was, he could only smile bitterly, "In the past, I only heard people say that Magat's training intensity was high, but now I see the places where he has led the team, and I have indeed seen it." I'm afraid it's rugby training, that's the intensity, right? ”

"You're not right, how can it be considered Magath-level training if you have lead in your clothes like this? If you do, you won't get a lead-filled garment, but a 15-kilogram, or even a 25-kilogram iron ball, and you'll be asked to drag it for a weight-bearing run. And if it's rugby-level training, it's even more excessive. It would be asking you to have two or three parachutes on your body and run against the wind -- that's not an intensity at all with soccer training. The coach looked at him, obviously still with that pride, "With this kind of intensity, you just came from Asia, so it's better not to try it immediately." Take your time, there's nothing bad about it. ”

Gao Shunyao admits that he did not expect that such training would not be the heaviest in Germany. I used to think that my physical fitness was already the best in Japan, but now it seems that if Germany trains at this intensity, then I will really be sitting in a well and watching the sky. This kind of training is indeed very challenging for people's ability to bear. Weighted climbing, solid balls, long hours, these are all trainings that he has never been exposed to before.

It's a whole other world of training standards.

However, even so, after listening to the coach's words, he immediately spoke, "I think I should be able to adapt to these trainings." ”

Although these trainings were very harsh, Gao Shunyao still did not choose to back down. As the coach said, he would not like to wait for a period of time to slowly adapt to these trainings, he believed that his body could withstand these trainings, and he also knew that he had to withstand these trainings in order to get ahead.

Even in the face of harsh circumstances, he has no intention of backing down. And if you want to say why Gao Shunyao believes that he can play, the reason is actually very simple: almost at the same time as he arrived in Germany, there was also a news that reached him in Italy.

Inter Milan changed their manager, and after the change of manager, they started to bring in reinforcements. The news is not surprising, as Inter Milan are already unhappy with Benitez and they do need manpower. But what is really interesting is that the object of their recruitment is none other than Yuto Nagatomo.

Half a year ago, Yuto Nagatomo was still playing in the same team as Gao Shunyao. At that time, the two of them were still teammates. Although it is said that Nagatomo Yudu was more famous than Gao Shunyao at that time, and his level was also higher than Gao Shunyao, the gap between them was definitely not as big as the gap between Asia and Europe.

But half a year has passed, and it seems that the whole world has suddenly become incomprehensible. Yuto Nagatomo actually went to Inter Milan and went to a really top giant team, when the news came, Gao Shunyao was speechless in surprise.

He didn't expect that Nagatomo Yuto's progress would be so great.

However, after being surprised, Gao Shunyao also had a pride in his heart: since Nagatomo can grow from a player in an Asian team to the main force of a European giant, why can't he do it? What he can do, he can do.

People should not always compare downwards, but should look upwards more. Just compare yourself with the top to get the motivation to improve. (To be continued......)
