In front of Mandzukic, Gao Shunyao was full of pride and ambition to tell his pursuit for the new season, but this pursuit was basically exhausted within a few days after the start of the new season. Almost exactly the same as at the start of last season, Magath gave them a very intense training session to help them get back to shape as quickly as possible.

Weight-bearing training, three drills a day, a lot of physical reserve training, from underwater to mountaineering, Magath's means of destroying players are almost always being renovated. The players' nightmare, which had been almost forgotten for a long time, came again, and even a positive and optimistic person like Ko Soon Yao was exhausted by the pressure given by Magath.

Perhaps, when talking about the reason why he was able to win the championship in the new season, he forgot the most important one, which is Magat's devil training.

"I should have moved to Bayern in the first place. How could I have forgotten that Magath's claws loom over Wolfsburg, but it is impossible to reach Bayern. ”

The pressure from above is very heavy, which naturally causes strange words from the players below. In private, Mandzukic said similar things to Gao Shunyao. It's just that Gao Shunyao knows very well that Mandzukic's words sound like complaints, but in fact, it's more just to vent pressure.

Mandzukic is not a player who is afraid of the rigors of training, he is not so cowardly. What's more, although this year's training is very heavy, it is actually much better than last year.

The biggest difference between this year and last year is that there are a lot fewer friendly matches.

This summer, there is a major tournament called the European Cup. Because of the existence of this event. Each team appropriately cut back on their warm-up matches. The European Championship lasted until the beginning of July, and the pressure and physical exertion of the players was very high. If such a tournament year is over-held warm-up matches, then the physical condition of the players. Undoubtedly a great devastation.

Although Magath loves the massive training that resembles destroying players, he is still measured in the things that really destroy the health of players - in fact, he is probably more meticulous than anyone else, because others don't have as many horrific experiments as he does.

This season, Wolfsburg also played far fewer friendlies than last season. In addition to the European Championships, there is also a reason for the different purpose of the Wolfsburg friendlies this season. Last season, Wolfsburg used a terrible schedule density to test the form of the players and select players who are suitable to be the main players. And this season, the main lineup of the season is basically determined. For them, the biggest problem is not to choose new good players, but to let the current players further run in, so that the players can further improve in strength, which is the most important thing.

And for such a thing, the main thing that is needed is no longer competition, but training. As a result, there were only five friendlies at Wolfsburg in July. Three of them were against lower German teams, and only two were against lower German teams, so it can be said that the task has been much lighter.

Compared to friendly matches. This summer, their main task is to be on the training ground.

And for Gao Shunyao, this summer. In fact, his task is only one task to improve himself: his status as a main player at Wolfsburg will never be adapted. Although Olich's forces are strong. But as Olic gets older, Wolfsburg has no interest in giving a place to an older player. As a result, Gao Shunyao had the idea of wanting to leave, and secondly, Olich's ability to adapt to more positions, as a substitute player, Gao Shunyao has greater adaptability, which also determines that he is a better substitute. Wolfsburg's forward line is quite harmonious and there is no competition for any place between them.

Therefore, Gao Shunyao's task is to improve his strength - and to Gao Shunyao's great surprise, this summer, his strength has indeed been greatly improved.

A year and a half ago, Gao Shunyao came to Germany from Japan, and in the first year and a half after coming to Germany, Germany's training model can be said to have tapped out more than half of his potential. The vast majority of Asian players will go through a leap period after they go to Europe, and the past year and a half is Gao Shunyao's leap period.

In this year, Gao Shunyao can be said to have risen from an Asian level player to a European level player. His comprehensive strength in all aspects has been greatly improved. Physical fitness, confrontation, reaction speed, ball control skills, shooting skills, any of the attributes of a player, Gao Shunyao has improved a lot in the past year and a half, and his progress is very fast, which is also obvious to all.

And a year and a half later, Gao Shunyao's progress has slowed down. The dividends from training, the potential for physical function, he has basically eaten up. At this time, for a player, if he wants to further improve himself, what he needs is the further accumulation of game experience and the further sharpening of skills, which can be said to be a very slow process, but at this time, Olic came to Wolfsburg.

This transfer, for Wolfsburg, has an extremely useful substitute player. And for Gao Shunyao, it is undoubtedly for him to find the best mentor. The arrival of Olic not only brought his own strength, but also his full experience.

Since coming to Wolf Castle, he has also passed on a lot of his experience to Gao Shunyao in training.

"You can grab a point in front of you, in addition to attracting firepower and surprises, you can also try to interfere with the defense in the opponent's penalty area, you have enough height and size to use your own movements to make them misjudge. Communicate enough with the back point players and then you can help your teammates in this way......"

On the court, Olic taught Gao Shunyao experience, and as a veteran player, his experience is a treasure trove for Gao Shunyao.

Among the many center forwards in Europe, Olic can be said to be the most typical player who eats by hard work rather than skill, and there are very few people in the world who can do better than him on how to turn his hard work talent into his own strength. And after he came to Wolfsburg, he has always been aware of the question of Gao Shunyao and others asking him how to play.

Football technology is not like a trade secret, and no one is a player who plays football to keep their experience a secret. This is especially true as a veteran player, Olic has not had a few years in his career, he has taught his skills to others, and when he sees others running on the pitch in the future, it is like pinning his football dream on it, and he naturally wants to see young people like him play better on the field.

When Mandzukic and Gao Shunyao in the team asked him for advice, he shared all his experience, and for Gao Shunyao, who just needed experience to improve, it really stimulated his leap in strength.

When a player's body is trained and his technique can keep up with the rhythm of the game, the rest of the matter is naturally how to improve his experience and awareness. Gao Shunyao is now at this time, he has received help, and he has naturally made rapid progress.

The only problem may be that Gao Shunyao and Olich's technical characteristics are not exactly the same.

Although Olic also admits that Gao Shunyao works very hard when he plays, and his attitude of running actively is also consistent with himself, as a striker, he can learn from the characteristics of active counter-robbery and unremitting running. However, he also noticed that Gao Shunyao's physical fitness is better than his own, and his figure determines that he is more impactful, which is an innate excellent condition. Moreover, there is obviously room for his skills to be practiced: although he is already 23 years old, Gao Shunyao's technical training has obviously not come to an end, and he can further improve through practice.

Of course, the most important thing is that Gao Shunyao has a pretty good sense of the court, which gives him a lot of room to play. Becoming a counter-attacking centre-forward should obviously not be his only way out, and Olic quickly realised that.

"You should further practice your characteristics and strengthen yourself specifically to make yourself stronger. You're very physical, you're good at heading, you're good at awareness, and you've got room for improvement in your marksmanship, but have you ever wondered which of these skills is the one you'll rely on the most in the future? Only by finding your greatest characteristics can you fully exert your strength. ”

After many trainings, Olich also made his own suggestions to Gao Shunyao.

Olich's suggestion also made Gao Shunyao think about it: for a center forward, after the age of 23, he should almost reach his peak. Last season, I made all-round progress and absorbed everything that was beneficial to me without thinking, but from now on, I should indeed pick out the most suitable direction for my progress and conduct key training, so as to make my role more prominent.

A center forward without characteristics may be a good player for a small team, but it is difficult to go further. Modern football is a game that requires mutual cooperation, and sometimes one aspect is particularly prominent, and it is more important than a passing level in everything.

But what is your main practice direction? This is also something that Gao Shunyao can't think of for the time being. His playmaking, archery, and headers are all good, but he still doesn't know how to play the ball that suits him best.

Since I don't know, the best way is to know what my future should be through practice - Gao Shunyao has long had experience in this regard.

After Olic gave him advice, he quickly approached the team's defender, Kjaer, and asked for more targeted training in order to improve his quality.

Kjaer agreed to his request, and his attitude was even more positive than Gao Shunyao's. In the same way that Ko wants to train one-on-one to determine his future direction, Kjaer is now in desperate need of one-on-one training to improve his defensive ability.

"We should help each other and improve together – it's not just me who helps you, it's more that you help me."

Kjaer's answer made Gao Shunyao immediately understand something: Kjaer's heart is afraid that he also has great ambitions and is about to burst out. (To be continued.) )
