When Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi returned to the hotel, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the two brothers couldn't enjoy talking all the way, so after going back to the room and taking a shower, they got together and continued to talk vernacular.

Both of them are masters who have seen the world, and their net worth is only a lot more than that of You Mo at this stage, so it stands to reason that they will not be surprised by this trip to the Three Treasures Palace. What really excites them is what kind of scenery they can see after the door in their hearts is about to be pushed open.

They are all top professional players, and they have been in the circle for many years, and for them, there are some things that are overemphasized and offensive. The way in front of them to first enliven the atmosphere, then lead people to speak freely, and finally end with the old man's words, has unconsciously made them let go of their worries.

After all, there are gains and losses in everything, and just picking up good things will inevitably lead to the suspicion of fooling guests.

The two of them are called seeking advice, but in fact, they are not without temptation.

The rumored guys' achievements are as surprising as the criticism, although they are both Chinese and professional players, they have little direct contact with each other, and they are actually just as curious as ordinary fans in this regard. However, insiders naturally have their own standards in the circle, and what really attracts the attention of the two is the story behind the success.

Of course, this isn't a sensational story like Football Night.

In Yumo's gym, they got an obvious answer, but the two felt that it was not enough.

"With a weight of 78 kilograms, a bench press of 170 kilograms, and a squat of 350 kilograms, is this mud horse still a human being?" Fan Zhiyi lit up his biceps brachii as he spoke, then let go of his sigh, "I'm old, I used to be able to push 120 and squat 260." ”

"If you're a professional weightlifter or bodybuilder, I've seen the bench press 200. The squat is 400, but that guy is big and scary, and it is estimated that he can stop a ball 10 meters away on the court! Sun Jihai said that he also made up his brain, and couldn't help laughing.

"yes, it's too much. The older you get to play football, the more important your brain is, and you probably have to practice your muscles just to get out of it. Fan Zhiyi's mood suddenly improved. The voice became excited, "This guy is a typical player who plays football with a brain, and his small skills in many games are actually not on the table, but after the whole game, you won't feel that he is clumsy like a guy who can't kick football!" ”

"Well, it's the real kung fu to be free to retract and release, just like his skills, people who don't know can't think of it at all!"

Sun Jihai was originally interested in finding You Mo for two tricks, but unfortunately he dispelled this idea after staying in the gym for a few minutes.

This kind of non-human guy. I'm afraid that only in the fighting arena can you find an opponent!

"He's got a highlight of his shots, I don't know if you've seen them. Mud girl! Lao Tzu didn't dare to imagine it when he was young! Fan Zhiyi's eyes lit up as he said, and his spit flew, "When I watched it for the first time, I scared Lao Tzu miserably, where is this playing football, is it obviously doing acrobatics?" No, acrobatics are all fancy things, and his moves are good or bad. The practicality is all real! ”

"Fan Da, do you say that his shots are often practiced in his usual training? Could it be that someone designed it for him? Sun Jihai put his hand on the pillow. Fascinated.

"I think Lao Fan is better, what is old, what is coming, and he is ambitious!" Fan Zhiyi didn't care if he couldn't say the idiom, his fists were clenched, and he waved vigorously in the air, "I don't know." Let's go see them train another day, anyway, there is time. ”

"One thing is strange to me, except for the three wives who are really breathtaking, his private life seems to be very simple, or where else would he have time to maintain such an exaggerated physical state?" Sun Jihai nodded. Suddenly, he remembered something again, and asked: "He is two years younger than me, how can he feel that he is not good at talking and doing things!" ”

Fan Zhiyi's eyebrows fluttered, and his expression suddenly froze a little.

Obviously, he didn't notice this obvious bug at the first time, so he scratched his head, "Yes, it's strange, this age should be the most rebellious stage when everything is centered on me, but look at his experience in the Bundesliga?" ”

"I think it may be a reflection of excellent psychological quality, like Li Ning, Xiaoshuang, no matter how good they are, they are not obvious, and they are born to do big things."

"People can't compare with each other, what are those guys in China doing when they're free?"

"Drinking, smoking, gambling, playing all night. It is said that there are still poisoners, and I am really afraid that I will stay in it for a long time and become like them! ”

"Well, I used to live a hard life, but now I don't have money at first glance, it's all like this, and I don't listen to persuasion, I don't even bother to say it. In addition, to correct it, it is not said, I have seen it with my own eyes, more than once, one. ”

The conversation stopped abruptly, and the two of them seemed to be tired at the same time, yawning and waving goodbye.

Early the next morning.

After the two came over, they were tortured because of language problems, and this time they learned to be obedient, and before they left, they said hello to the Crystal Palace team in London. The final effect was not bad, the other party obviously attached great importance to the two, and without saying a word, he sent a guy who knew Chinese over, and the driver and translator acted as the driver.

Although the person who came over was a club staff member, his qualifications were obviously new, and the two of them did not visit their own training base, but this person drove them to look for more than half an hour on the muddy road, and finally asked the right person and found the right way in the two eyes that looked at each other.

Mud horses, such a famous training base, don't you hang a sign to come out?

There were no signs, no signs, and the depths of a trail that could only accommodate two cars to enter and exit, and the trio finally found Dongdong called "Kearney Training Base".

It was mid-October, and the bitter cold of North London was blown by the bitter cold wind, and it was unbridled in the open fields. As soon as they got out of the car, the three of them shivered at the same time.

The original beautiful imagination was gone, Sun Fan and the others glanced at each other, gritted their teeth, "Let's go, go and see how famous Wei Mao is!" ”

It took about five minutes to walk through the corridor from the entrance of the annex building, and the main building and the training ground were close in front of you. Originally, Sun Fan and the others only planned to see the training, but the guy who came with them probably had a cold mouth, and negotiated with people for a while, and then led the two into the main building.

As soon as you enter the door, you are reminded to put on shoe covers and leave your belongings in the mailbox.

The two are also people who have seen the world. Although he complained constantly, his expression was still calm, and after wearing it according to the instructions, he kept urging the tour guide to speed up the progress.

The British are also notoriously stereotypical, and the man who brought them over was called "Coral ", a middle-aged man in his early 40s. Being ordered to take the two of them to visit other clubs already made him unhappy. Seeing the other party's hurried appearance made him even more determined.

'The dressing room is a reflection of a team's culture, so now that we're here, of course we need to get to know each other.'

As soon as these words came out, as guests, they were embarrassed to urge, so the two had to slow down, followed the old man, and looked around into the dressing room.

"Wow, that's big!"

As soon as he entered the door, Sun Jihai couldn't help but exclaim.

The circular dressing room covers an area of more than 300 square meters. Surrounded by neatly arranged lockers of players' clothes and hats, in the middle is a huge pool of hot and cold water. The light blue water swayed gently in it, and people could immediately make up for the appearance of a group of big men soaking in it when they were tired and couldn't move.

"How do you make it look like a bathhouse?" Fan Zhiyi smiled at what he said, slapped Sun Jihai on the shoulder with one hand, and continued to shout, "I don't know if there is anyone rubbing his back?" ”

"Is it cold to turn on the central air conditioning in this season, can you take a bath?" Sun Jihai observed very carefully, watching that there was no heat rising on the surface of the water. Doubts in my heart.

Although Coral 's Chinese is only average, you don't need to listen carefully to confirm what the two Tu Lao Mao are surprised by in this situation. So he lazily explained carefully, "There is a heating pipe below, and the principle of the stadium lawn heating system." ”

"Stadium lawn heating?" The two asked together.

I've only heard of the stadium being like a carpet, but I've never heard of it being like an electric blanket.

"Oh, and A.T. Kearney has one of the best turf in England with 25 heating pipes buried underneath. Even in the coldest winters, the quality of the lawn remains at an astonishing level. Coral said, unconsciously forgetting the fact that the other party was a competitor, and continued to teach the two old people, "Such a lawn is worth about 3 million pounds." The annual maintenance cost is about 1 million pounds. ”

"1 million pounds? That's not 10 million RMB? ”

"I wipe, the maintenance cost of a lawn is as much as the annual investment of many clubs in China!"

"Isn't it, there are still such poor clubs in the country?"

"Didn't the previous Liao Provincial team plummet because they couldn't keep people because they didn't have money?"

"What the hell, people can't be compared with each other!"

The loud conversation between the two lasted from the hallway to the laundry room, and before they could get closer, a blonde girl turned her head curiously in the room with the door open.

Sun Fan and the others obviously realized that they were suspected of making a loud noise, so they shut up together and looked over with the same curiosity.

Coral was also a little curious, so he turned his head and exchanged some words with the club's entourage, and announced to the two of them an extremely painful fact.

She is the main left-back of Arsenal Women's football team, and she worked here to support her family during the winter break.

"Grandma is a bear, so handsome are you afraid that no one will raise her?" Fan Zhiyi waved his hand, as if he was wiping his saliva.

Sun Jihai is obviously more professional than him, but the surprise in his tone is still full, "The Arsenal women's football team is said to be one of the best in England, and many of them are internationals, I really can't imagine that they will actually help people wash clothes here to earn money!" ”

"The domestic women's football team doesn't have to do such a cheap thing, you can help ask, is it considered sexist?" Fan Zhiyi stretched out his hand to poke Coral and decisively made a bad idea.

After a while, the washerwoman who had poured out the time looked at her international friends with a smile and began to answer questions.

'Playing football is my ideal, but there's a lot more important than that. There is no professional women's league in England, and I can't support myself with the summer amateur league alone, so I work here during the day and study the courses required for professional accounting at night. ”

"It's a bit of a shame not to be a professional footballer, but there's nothing to complain about, the games aren't watched enough and the crowd is too small. If there is no market, we ourselves will find it boring to barely survive. ”

'We won the English league last year and then I was selected for the national team so I had the opportunity to go to Asia and I hope to have my own stage at the Women's World Cup in the United States next year.

After the brief interview, Sun Fan's curiosity suddenly disappeared.

It wasn't until they left the laundry room and walked in the aisle that the two began to communicate in a low voice.

"I'm really independent, to be honest, I underestimate this girl."

"Yes, I also know a few girls in the domestic women's football team, almost like us, I don't know anything except playing, and I don't know what to do in the future!"

"What to do? Find a good husband! ”

"They? It's not the same grade as here, right? ”

"Alas, forget it, I've seen it for a long time, so I won't talk about this."

After a brisk walk, rhythmic music came out of a large room, and the two of them guessed their destination without listening carefully.

Gym.

The door opened, and the two were disappointed that they were looking forward to a hot training scene.

There were only a few wounded and sick people training there in the huge space, and there were more staff members than all of them.

The physical fitness of Sun Fan and his wife is first-class among domestic players, in addition to their natural good physique, their usual training is also an important reason. Now that I saw the auxiliary equipment that was both familiar and advanced to a little unfamiliar, my curiosity was aroused for a while, and it took me more than half an hour to come out.

The gym came out, and the next stop also aroused their strong curiosity.

Infirmary.

As a professional athlete, in addition to coaches and teammates, the team doctor is the most common person to deal with during working hours. Sun Jihai is okay, Fan Zhiyi has a lot of dealings with the doctors of the sports team, but although the dealings are frequent, I haven't seen a few of these complex instruments in front of him.

Before the game, you still have to have a full body physical examination, and the key parts of the motor system have to be scanned, so why not be so troublesome?

Coral didn't forget his position, and seeing that the two seemed to be a little suspicious, he took the initiative to explain, "Sudden death from exercise still happens from time to time, especially the more hidden heart disease and vascular problems. As for the question of the locomotor system, it is more about confirming the ability to withstand stress under pressure, which is mainly used to assess the risk of exercise. ”

After that, lest the two of them fall on deaf ears, he continued to add, "Every manager will have a detailed physical condition chart of each player on his desk, which is a very important thing for both parties." If you underestimate this risk, in addition to bringing huge hidden dangers to your future career, it will be a greater loss for the club! ”

As soon as these words came out, Sun Fan and the others were silent at the same time.

For domestic coaches, going into battle with injuries is dedicated to boosting morale, and playing closed or something before the war is even more commonplace. Before the two came, they had heard about the importance of foreigners in this regard, but after seeing and hearing about it, they still felt a world of difference.

"I don't think it matters if I go to see them train or not, this trip is much more rewarding than I imagined."

After visiting the treatment room, swimming pool, and conference room, the group of four ended their unplanned tour of the main building. Before he walked out of the door, Sun Jihai couldn't help but sigh.

Fan Zhiyi also sighed.

"Yes, those old buddies in China retired one after another as soon as they passed 30, and it seems that the gap has to be found from these places." (To be continued......)
