Chapter 25: The First Team

*****

The next day, Iroh woke up early, ate his own breakfast, and then took Uncle Sam's motorcycle to the training base.

Habitually came to the locker room of the youth team, and when I was about to change clothes, I found that everything in front of me was so familiar, what's wrong? Soon three crows flew over Iroh's head. He patted his forehead masochistically, changed his clothes and walked out of the youth team locker room, heading towards the southeast of the training grounds.

When I came to the training ground of the first team, I found that not a single player on the field had arrived, so I started to warm up by myself. It's just that he didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes looking at him from the office building on the other side of the training ground, and after a while, he nodded thoughtfully and closed the window.

Iroh didn't pay much attention to it, and it took half an hour for the first team players to come to the training ground one after another.

When everyone came to the training ground, they found that there was already a boy with a sweaty Oriental face, and they were very curious, and began to talk to each other, asking each other who it was. Subsequently, Mohammed rose from the youth team. Sissoko took the initiative to introduce him, and the players of the first team began to realize that the Oriental in front of him turned out to be promoted from the youth team.

Because Iroh is also a talker, he mingled with several people in the first team for a while, and they all expressed their welcome to Iroh.

So when Ranieri brought Benetti over, he saw that Iroh was getting along well with the first-team players, and nodded secretly with satisfaction. In Ranieri's view, even if a good player is good, if he can't handle the relationship with his teammates well, he can only be the main force at most, and he is far from being qualified to be the core.

Benetti blew the whistle in his mouth, clapped his palms, and motioned for the team to come over.

"Guys, starting today, we have a new member in the first team" Benetti hooked his finger and motioned for Iroh to come over, "I believe that after Mohammed's introduction just now, everyone has already learned about this new member from the youth team, right?" Now we would like to welcome our new member, Ai, right? ”

There was a round of applause from the audience, Mohammed. Sissoko even whistled.

After Benetti finished speaking, he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then took a step back to indicate that the manager had something to say.

'First of all, I would also like to welcome Ai as he is a very talented kid and I hope he can stay in the first team and be successful. Ranieri clearly liked the kid Iroh, and when he spoke, he had a big smile on his face.

Hearing this, Ello's fists clenched consciously.

Ranieri nodded with satisfaction, capable, energetic and hardworking, not bad.

But soon, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a sad face, and said with a straight face: "Since the start of the winter break, we have achieved five rounds without a win, and even the points with the second place have reached nine points, and in the next round we will face Real Madrid, who are second in the league." The president of the club has spoken to me and I have promised that we will turn the situation around in the shortest possible time, but - these are not my words. He looked at the team members who had all bowed their heads in front of him, sighed and shook his head, until he looked at Iro, he nodded with satisfaction and continued: "You have the final say!" ”

The space was instantly filled with an oppressive atmosphere.

Ranieri stopped talking, turned his head to say a few words to his assistant Benetti, and returned to his office.

After Ranieri left, the first training session of the day officially began. Warm-up sessions, led by Benetti and strength and conditioning coach Olnes, were followed by stretches.

When everyone was about the same, Benetti blew the whistle in his mouth, and there were exactly 22 people on the field, so the people on the field were divided into three groups of seven people each, leaving Iello alone. In the middle of the term, six people form a circle, and one person in the middle grabs the ball, which is commonly known as "funny monkey". The requirement of the circle is to pass the ball with one kick, and if it is robbed or pass the ball with the second kick, he will be punished, and after the punishment is completed, he will be the grabber until the next one is caught.

After Benetti arranged the rest of the team, he instructed the physical trainer Olnes to lead Iroh to the side area alone to have a preliminary understanding of Iro's physical condition.

Height and weight, three groups of 100 meters, six groups of 30 meters, four groups of 30 meters round-trip sprint, one group of 3,000 meters.

An hour later, Iroh completed the side, and then under the leadership of Benetti, he entered the midterm group to "tease the monkey", after familiarizing himself with the rules, Iroh found that this "tease monkey" can not only improve the passing tacit understanding of the practice players, but also improve the proficiency of one foot to touch the ball, and the effect of exercising the ball sense is not small. Unfortunately, Iroh soon became the one who failed to touch the ball again.

After the first training session, Benetti arranged the personnel on the field to carry out the shooting practice, defensive practice, long pass practice, running without the ball practice, dribbling around the pole practice and breakthrough practice. He and several other coaches recorded the training of each player, analyzed the state of the players, and waited until the training was over, and then compared the training records of the last few days with today's training records.

It was almost noon, and Benetti looked at the time and felt that it was about the same, so he gathered the team members and made a brief comment. Then the captain of the team, Baraha, and the new player, Iroh, were left behind, and with a wave of their hands, they announced their disbandment.

"Follow me."

The two then followed Benetti to Ranieri's office.

"Reuben, you're the captain - so Ai's integration into the team is up to you." Ranieri stopped what he was doing, got up and walked not far in front of the two, looked at Baraha and said.

"Yes, sir," Baraha nodded.

"Hey, old man, show me Ai's training count for today." Ranieri turned around and took the notebook from Benetti's hand, saw that Baraja was a little tempted to leave, smiled, and said, "Ruben, listen to it too - see how good your new teammate is." ”

Baraja was shocked by Ranieri's words, but he knew that managers rarely praised people, especially such blatant praises. So he looked at Iroh again and replied, "Yes, sir." ”

"Ai, your body side number jΓΉ is good, the three sets of 100 meters are: 10 seconds 88, 10 seconds 83, 10 seconds 9-" Reading this, Ranieri nodded with satisfaction, sure enough, faster than Vicente.

Baraha, who was next to Iroh, was also shocked, and the speed was even faster than that of Mavicente, the fastest man in the team.

"Reuben, relax, surprise is still to come." Ranieri teased captain Baraja.

Baraha laughed dryly, but did not speak.

Ranieri appropriately livened up the atmosphere, and exclaimed in exclamation, "Oh-my-god!" The six groups of 30 meters are: 3.61 seconds, 3.62 seconds, 3.59 seconds, 3.62 seconds, and 3.66 seconds. ”

Ranieri once knew from his old friend Lippi the silver fox that Ronaldo's fastest 30-meter sprint was 3.74 seconds.

Astound!

That's a little bit faster than Ronaldo at the peak of the year!

So this will mean that this guy's speed of 30 meters is unbeatable in the world??

This number jΓΉ made the captain Baraha begin to look at the Chinese in front of him with admiration, looking forward to his possible appearance in La Liga next, the number jΓΉ is very gorgeous, but how is the actual battle? So with a calm personality, he retains his final opinion.

Ranieri knew that Ayroh was fast, so he turned another page, looked at the technical numbers, and said slowly: "Ai, your advantage is clear at a glance, that is, it is extremely fast, but the disadvantage is also obvious. You have a high success rate of touching the ball with your right foot, more than 90 percent. However, the success rate of one touch of your left foot is surprisingly low, 30%. Three fingers stretched out from his right hand, and his expression was stern, but he quickly continued: "I know that you have scored a lot of goals in the youth team, even more than the strikers, you are the most special winger I have ever seen, and the most capable winger. If I'm not mistaken, all your goals in youth have been scored with your right foot, right? ”

Now it was Ailo's turn to be stunned, nodded subconsciously, and muttered: "I want to be the strongest winger, I must be able to score goals." ”

"Huh?"

"Nothing...... Mr. ”

"Actually, I want to tell you that you can have your own dominant foot, but I want you to not have that much difference between your two feet, which is extremely easy to defend in the game, you think - if you only cut inside on the left and then break through, will it be easy to be killed? Do you understand what I mean? Ranieri looked at Ielo with a smile, his tone a little heavy.

"I see, Mr. Coach." Iroh thought for a moment and replied.

With a foolish and teachable expression, he nodded and continued: "Very good, then I'll just say it simply, if you can only shoot with your left foot when the opponent targets your right foot or the ball passed to you by your teammates in the future game, do you still have time to adjust the ball to your right foot to hit the goal?" You know that in the opponent's penalty area, even 0.01 second can be delayed or lost, what do you think will be the situation? ”

"Mr. Coach, what is your opinion?" Ai Luo also felt that things were strict, so he asked modestly.

"However, I don't know much about this technical level." Ranieri touched the back of his head in embarrassment, turned sideways to Benetti and said, "You will hand over Ai to technical coach Sendro alone in tomorrow's training session." ”

Iroh, who had been listening to it below, was speechless and shrugged silently, turned around and grimaced, and released his feelings.

Benetti also smiled secretly, but not out loud.

"Ai - if there's nothing to do, you can go back first - I still have some team matters to discuss with Benetti and Ruben." To ease the embarrassment, Ranieri returned to his desk after speaking to Iro.

"Yes, sir, see you tomorrow!"

So, after saying hello to the assistant coach and the captain respectively, he left the head coach's office.
