The morning sun shines through the light mist on the green turf.

In the training ground surrounded by green trees, a lonely figure was running.

Although Real Antwerp's training base is not as quiet as Carrington's base on the outskirts of Manchester. But the training site, located on the edge of Antwerp, remains quiet in the early morning, with the only thing that can be heard except for the occasional passing car and the cheerful chirping of a flock of birds that have risen early to forage for food.

Yu Liang, who was breathing fresh air in the training ground, was running fast and slow, and the black and white football, like a naughty elf, kept rolling between Yu Liang's feet. In more than a week at Manchester United, Yu Liang persevered like this, so Yu Liang, who had nothing to do after getting up, came here directly.

As the sun shines through the woods into the training ground, the surrounding area becomes noisy, with the roar of car engines and the sounds of neighbors greeting each other. At this time, Yu Liang, who was sweating profusely, had slowed down his speed and began to jog in the field to adjust his rhythm.

While Yu Liang was walking around the training ground, Real Antwerp Football Club, which had been silent for a night, began to recover.

The coach who came to the team moved some training equipment to the training ground.

"Wow, isn't that the Chinese teenager who joined yesterday?"

"Yes, it's indeed that Chinese youngster!"

Cosman opened the curtain, looked at Yu Liang, who was walking in the training ground in the distance, and said affirmatively to Klute beside him.

"It's unimaginable!"

Klute looked at the time and had a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes, it's hard to imagine that he came earlier than he trained the mad demon Alain!"

Cosman smiled with relief as he moved his training equipment around the field. He is the goalkeeper coach of the team, and has been working in this team for several years, although there is no shortage of hard-working players in the club, but it is the first time he has seen Yu Liang so early. You must know that another Chinese player, Dong Ke will never come to the training ground in advance. Of course, he is not late, he always shows up on time at the training ground.

"Hi there, Chinese boy!"

After putting down the training equipment, Coaseman saw Yu Liang walking over.

"Hi, good morning, coach! Can I help you? ”

Although I don't know a word of Dutch, after studying English with Chris for a week, simple communication can still be done.

"Uh, I guess you should go get some rest now!"

Cosman was surprised that Yu Liang would take the initiative to communicate and help, which is still rare in the club. However, Cosman did not intend to accept Yu Liang's kindness, pointed to the watch on his wrist, and said to Yu Liang in English: "In half an hour, today's training will begin!" ”

"Oops!"

After patting the back of his head, Yu Liang said sorry to Cosman, ran to the sidelines, picked up the ball, hugged it with both hands, and ran directly.

Cosman watched Yu Liang's behavior, shook his head and smiled, and then began to set up the training equipment there.

"Good morning, Wim! Good morning, Philip! ”

After changing into training clothes in the locker room, Mihem immediately came to the training ground, looked at the two coaches who placed the training equipment in the training ground, said hello, and then started training. The 23-year-old is an indispensable stalwart of the squad with excellent marking, header ability, and ability to play in multiple positions in midfield and at centre-back. But the ambitious Micham is not a regular in a second division club that will satisfy him, and he is eager to prove himself to a higher level.

However, he knows that his talent is not particularly outstanding, and he can only improve his level through continuous training, so he is the first player to reach the training ground at any time.

"Hey, Alain, you're late this morning!"

Mihem, who was warming up on the field, listened to the words of the physical trainer Kluet, and did not take it seriously.

"Hey Philip, I'm just a little bit late than you! I'm still the first. ”

While lifting the cross, Mihem chatted with Kluet.

"Hehe, you miscalculated today, someone came earlier than you!"

Klute set up a training bucket and smiled at Michem.

"Earlier than me? There was no one in the locker room when I came, who could be earlier than me? ”

Mihem, who had slowed his movements, frowned and muttered there.

"Haha, I can't think of it, na, it's that Chinese boy! He came before all of us! ”

Following Kluter's direction, Mihem saw Yu Liang walking over in a leisurely manner.

The reason why Yu Liang quickly disappeared into the training ground was because he hadn't eaten breakfast yet. After returning home and taking out the bread he bought last night to fill his stomach, drinking a few sips of water, and changing into a set of training clothes, Yu Liang came to the training ground again.

Looking at Mihem, who was warming up in the field, Yu Liang didn't expect his teammates to come in so many minutes.

"Good morning, Mihem."

In fact, Yu Liang's memory is not so amazing, and not every of Antwerp's teammates can be named. The reason why I remember Michem is because when we met him yesterday, Michem had the worst attitude towards him. Although after the training, he asked King Dong what the reason was, but he did not get an answer.

However, Yu Liang does not want to have conflicts and contradictions with any of his teammates. So after seeing Mihem, Yu Liang immediately smiled and went to say hello.

"Humph!"

Mihem glanced at Yu Liang, and after making a sound in his nostrils, he immediately turned around and went for a run.

"What's going on?"

Looking at Mihem who was running, Yu Liang scratched the back of his head, a little unclear.

After breakfast, Yu Liang didn't do a lot of exercise, just walked slowly around the training ground to digest food.

"Morning, Madman!"

"Morning, Ivan!"

……

After a while, the training ground, which had been a little empty, became lively.

Most of the players of the team had already arrived, and at this time, Yu Liang felt that he was almost digested, so he began to warm up in the field and prepare for the next training.

Three days later, the team had a warm-up match against Racing Santander from La Liga. Although Racing Santander can only be regarded as the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, it is undoubtedly a good opponent to test the strength of Antwerp and Yu Liang.

Yu Liang, who just joined Antwerp, although he got the No. 10 jersey, he hopes to win the respect of his teammates through a heavyweight match. After all, not every teammate is like Lart, a fan of his own. That's why he's hungry to play against Racing Santander.

In order to get this opportunity, he can only train hard to get the approval of the manager.

"Hey, why hasn't this King Dong arrived yet?"

Looking at the training ground, his teammates were almost here, and Yu Liang couldn't help muttering.

During more than a week at Manchester United, because King Dong spent most of his time with Manchester United on his Asian tour, he didn't know some of King Dong's habits.

"That's it! Hurry up, Dong, the training is about to begin! ”

Listening to the coach shouting Dong, Yu Liang found that King Dong was wearing a training uniform and walked over in the direction of the locker room, followed by the translator Zhu Xun.

"Why are you here?"

King Dong's residence is also very close to the club, but Yu Liang doesn't understand why King Dong came so late.

Glancing at Zhu Xun, who was standing on the sidelines and a little haggard, Yu Liang frowned when he looked at King Dong, who also had a not very good face.

"Why are you here so early? I'm not late! ”

"Yes, that's right, but ......"

Listening to King Dong's words, Yu Liang didn't know how to continue. Looking at King Dong's back, Yu Liang sighed and quickened his pace.

The warm-up didn't last long, just a few minutes.

The reason why it was only a few minutes was because most of the players had already completed the warm-up before this, not including King Dong, of course.

Van Ake looked at the player in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's train in groups!"

After saying that, Van Ake stood aside, and the assistant coach walked over and sent the vest down.

When he received a yellow vest from the assistant coach, Yu Liang was overjoyed. The yellow vest is a symbol of the main position in many teams. Seeing that King Dong, who also got the yellow vest, was squeezing his eyebrows at him, Yu Liang smiled, and then immediately put the vest on his body.

"Yu, your task is to organize the attack."

After assistant coach Schinfins called Yu Liang aside, he explained the tactics directly to Yu Liang.

Unlike the delicate style of play that McGenes demands, everything about this tactic is built around King Dong, with wide crosses and long passes behind him.

This is a 7-on-7 matchup, without a goalkeeper, mainly to test the players' ability to master tactics, but also to test the players' adaptability in the transition between attack and defense. Because the court becomes smaller, the space becomes smaller, so in the transition between attack and defense, the players are required to be able to achieve the ability to play the ball quickly and see the court.

Yu Liang, who has been training at Manchester United for more than a week, can barely adapt to the intensity of the current confrontation. However, being pushed to the core of the organization made Yu Liang a little uncomfortable.

Yu Liang, who is accustomed to getting the ball in the backcourt, often retreats to take the ball. In fact, there was not much of a problem with the drop-back to get the ball, and Cruyff created a number four for this purpose, and it became a tradition for Barcelona.

But for Antwerp, Yu Liang's retreat caused chaos and crowding at the back.

And Yu Liang, who was not strong in confrontation and was not particularly good at the same time, directly became Mihem's stepping stone.

When Yu Liang got the yellow vest, Mihem's eyes burst out with hostility. Before Yu Liang arrived, the yellow vest was worn on him. So after the confrontation began, Mihem, as a defensive player, directly found Yu Liang.

Facing Michim, who was physically stronger than himself, Yu Liang, who lacked the ability to get rid of it in a small space, could only be broken by Mihem from his feet.

Within ten minutes, he was cut off from his feet three times by Michhem, and looking at Van Ake, who was a little blue on the sidelines, Yu Liang's heart began to feel worried.
