On May 27, 2009, the whole city of Liege was in a state of joy, with bars on the streets full of people celebrating from morning to night.

In the last game of the Liège championship play-offs, at the Dufrassen Stadium, they beat Anderlecht by one goal to win the Liège title for the second year in a row, and most importantly, they won against the team in Brussels, and the French-speaking and Flemish (a small Dutch) Anderlecht was not liked by the Lièges, and for two years in a row they pressed Anderlecht into second place, which made the Lièges very satisfied. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Wang Nuo walked on the street, and could feel the crowd of celebrants pouring out everywhere, they sang loudly, hugged each other's shoulders, lively like a carnival in February, someone noticed Wang Nuo's jersey, and would come over affectionately and pat his arm, pulling him to sing together.

"Do you feel the half-blood Flemish bastards, heavy punch from Liège, traitor from the south, cry Jacobs!"

"The Red Army (Standard Liege) rises, great, remarkable, invincible!"

Wang Nuo used to play in Brussels, but at this time he was a youth player in Standard Liege, so he smiled at them, high-fived them, and arrived at the youth training base three times along the way, a little later than the agreed time, the youth team physical trainer Van Boer wearing a light blue shirt was already waiting at the gate, seeing Wang Nuo rushing from a distance, he clapped his hands vigorously, "Hurry up, just wait for you." ”

Wang Nuo ran out of breath, "Sorry sir, the street is too lively today, and it delayed a little time." ”

"Come in." Van Boer snorted behind him and motioned for Wang Nuo to follow.

The two of them walked through the hall full of various team honors, went out from the side of the building, and passed through the two training grounds, and arrived at the rehabilitation center, which was in charge of physical testing, and there were already three young people gathered at the door, two whites and one black, and it was obvious that they were all waiting for Wang Nuo.

So Wang Nuo apologized again.

"Bonjour, Asian kid, you're Japanese? I love your anime. One of the tall white men looked at Wang Nuo, his eyes shining, obviously a little misunderstood.

Wang Nuo shook his head.

"Koreans?" He looked a little disappointed.

"Chinese." Wang Nuo replied, "My name is Wang Nuo, I played in Brussels for a while, and I just moved here in the spring. ”

"Wow, that's cool, Chinese, you have the guts to say you're from Brussels, if you couldn't say that two years earlier, you'd be isolated, but it's okay, they don't care anymore, and no one is going to be embarrassed, are they...... Well? The tall young man was a little open-mouthed, and only relented after being warned by Van Boer's eyes, and when he saw Van Boer walking away, he continued, "Just kidding, my name is Isel and I'm from France. ”

Before Wang Nuo could ask questions, Iseer began to explain impatiently, "Don't make a fuss, it's normal to come from France, it's not surprising at all, people always look down on the Belgian academy, thinking that the youth training here is, how do you say that word......"

"Leave to fend for yourself." The black player next to him interjected.

"Oh, yes, to fend for themselves, and there's also a saying that Belgian young stars are bred by other countries - 'put eggs in other people's nests', is that true? Well? Obviously not, Standard Liege has invested 6 million euros in youth training this year, the numbers don't lie, the youth training here has changed, I believe what I see with my eyes rather than what I hear with my ears, Belgium's Toshihiko doesn't need to go to the Netherlands, France or Germany, but now everyone doesn't understand, why can't young French players come to Belgium? The youth team in France is already crowded like a tomato basket in a supermarket, moderate competition is great, but too much competition is not necessarily a good thing, only we understand this, so only we are smart people! With that, Isel looked at Wang Nuo and the other two partners and winked meaningfully.

"You know, France is not so easy to mix, I used to be in Marseille, in the famous ......"

"Hey, be quiet." Van Boer had already walked out, and he glared at Iser fiercely, until Iseer lowered his head in embarrassment, then hooked his index finger at Wang Nuo, and emphasized, "Remember that your task today is to measure your body and not to chat, and I'm not welcome anyone who talks in it!" ”

Wang Nuo and the others nodded hurriedly and walked in.

Wang Nuo: They have already been here once before, and that time was a physical examination before signing the contract, and this time, the main thing is to do a test on their physical fitness and other aspects to see if they can start training with the team.

The rehabilitation center is a two-story building, they entered the large room on the first floor, and a middle-aged woman with blonde hair wearing black sportswear greeted them.

After the introduction, the first thing to do is the YOYO physical test (time-limited switchback run), which is a 20-yard sprint before the bell rings, and then a switchback, and a 20-yard sprint before the next bell, which is a round trip.

Rest for 5 seconds and start a new round trip, and so on.

It looks simple, but Wang Nuo has tasted the bitterness of this thing many times, and is quite familiar with it, the terrible thing is that such a test is accelerated, faster than the first time, the first half is aerobic, and the second half is almost the maximum heart rate anaerobic running, if the anaerobic endurance is poor, waiting until the last countdown is like a life-urging charm, and the intensity is very high.

The familiar bell rang, and the four of them were all "battle-hardened" guys, and they didn't do their best too early to maintain their rhythm, but because of the high level (according to the lady just now, it was basically the Premier League standard), so after only four turnarounds, everyone felt the pressure.

Wang Nuo plays as a winger and shadow striker, and occasionally plays as a fullback, what is most needed in such a position is explosiveness and the ability to run up and down, so he usually pays attention to physical training, and the running volume is more than 200K (km) every month, even so, this test also made him suffer, and by the seventh turnaround he had to breathe heavily, and by the eleventh turnback, the lactic acid accumulated on his legs had made his pace heavy, and he had to accelerate!

It is worthy of the intensity of a Premier League player, it is said that the level of the Premier League is twenty turnbacks, Wang Nuo gritted his teeth and ignored the heart that was about to jump out of his chest.

The twelfth and thirteenth turned back, and Iseer and another white player couldn't hold on and quit one after another, and the two guys lay on their backs on the ground panting desperately as if they were deprived of oxygen.

Van Boor was a little disappointed with them, and with such intensity, it would take at least fourteen turnbacks to qualify.

Wang Nuo and the black players were still struggling, and by the time of the sixteenth turnaround, Wang Nuo had already relied on his physical instinct to fight hard, he couldn't support it for a long time, but his strong willpower did not allow him to give up, and he swallowed the smell of blood in his mouth, Wang Nuo's brain was blank, and finally, he staggered to complete the seventeenth turnaround, but unfortunately, the bell had already rang in advance.

He was eliminated.

The black player also fell to the eighteenth turn and did not get back up.

Van Boer saw everything in his eyes, the performance of the black players was what he expected, but Wang Nuo was beyond his expectations, he knew that Wang Nuo was a mixed race in China and Belgium, but it was not easy to achieve this intensity of sixteen turnbacks, not to mention the youth team, even in the first team, there is no guarantee that everyone will reach such a level, the position is different, the required anaerobic endurance standards are also different, and the purpose of this time is to test their limits.

Wang Nuo made a good impression on Van Bor.

After resting for ten minutes, Wang Nuo and the others recovered most of their physical strength, and then their heads and legs were connected with electrodes, tested on a treadmill, and the video will be recorded next to them, and an additional metal insulating object that will vibrate is tied to the soles of their feet, and some feet are grinding.

The blonde lady in black joked with a smile: "We have millions of volts of electricity in our hands, and everyone's lives are in our hands, even if we grind our feet, we have to tie them tightly." ”

Wang Nuo They did various amplitudes and speeds of travel and running on the treadmill, and after some tossing, the staff got several dense data.

The last one is the massage, which means that there is a reward for the hard work.

Van Boer got the physical test data of the four people, scribbled a few glances, there was no big problem, and he was quite satisfied, so he only said one word to the standard Liege U19 newcomers who were enjoying a full body massage, and left.

"Gather at training ground number two at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, you will attend the first official training session, don't be late boys."
