Chapter 107: Pre-Season Warm-up Match (1)

The first day of training was mostly restorative and naturally a bit of an Alexander for the players who went on vacation in the offseason and sang late at night. But for He Xu, who has been playing golf for a whole month, it's really drizzle.

During the resumption of training, He Xu naturally got together with the young players Bojan and Shaarawy. Bojan in 90, Shaarawi in 92, and He Xu in 94. Among the three, He Xu, who is the youngest, is the tallest. Bojan's height is very much in line with Barcelona's tactical needs, and his height is not too tall to be more conducive to a "small and fast" style of play and getting rid of it in a small space.

After a brief recovery session, Allegri announced his schedule ahead of the start of the season, which will host the visiting Osaka Sakura in three days' time.

Allegri really did not lose his trust, he arranged extremely strict physical training for He Xu, and his severity made He Xu quite unbearable, but for his future development here, He Xu had no choice.

At this time, there are still three weeks before the start of the new season, Allegri arranged four warm-up matches, the opponent from weak to strong, and the ability continues to rise, which is obviously gradually giving the team strength, in the team's training match, He Xu was lucky to be assigned to a group with Xiao Luo by Allegri. Because he is a little older after all, Xiao Luo is no longer as close to the front line as before, on the contrary, he is now honestly standing in the midfield position, relying on his superb skills and accurate passing to help the team move forward.

After a few training matches, the teammates have a preliminary understanding of He Xu, and their previous understanding of He Xu generally comes from the big four against Manchester United, but the final goal has to be suspected of luck, so the coach decided to re-understand this striker highly recommended by Van Basten.

After several training matches, He Xu finally understood how big the gap is between a declining giant like Ajax and a declining giant like AC Milan. Ibrahimovic is far stronger than He Xu imagined, and Robinho, the thin-looking "successor of Pele", also let He Xu see his ability.

Allegri looked at He Xu's performance, his face was as calm as ever, and he didn't know what he was planning. And the results of He Xu's previous special training have not yet been shown, in He Xu's opinion, good steel has to be used on the blade, this level of training competition, it is so simple to rely on speed and excellence to show yourself OK.

It seems that because He Xu's performance did not impress Allegri, in the warm-up match, he fielded a forward lineup consisting of Bojan Krkic, Shaarawy and Pato.

This result was naturally unexpected by He Xu, and he didn't understand why Allegri would waste a starting spot on the extremely powerful Pato. Isn't this kind of warm-up game just to check the ability of the players? Wouldn't it be better for me to play with Bojan and Shaarawy?

However, as a rookie, He Xu can only hide these doubts and dissatisfaction in his heart. There's no Ronald Koeman here, and there's no Liang Yuan. Although Marco is an official of the team, he can't stretch his hand too long in this kind of big club with a very clear division of labor.

In the first half of the warm-up game, Osaka Sakura's performance was lackluster, He Xu felt that even a team of Utrecht's level could beat them, which gave the three strikers a chance to perform, Pato relied on his speed, breaking through the opponent again and again, if it weren't for the fact that he seemed to forget to bring shooting boots today and only scored one goal, I am afraid that the score gap has been widened to double digits by him now. Bojan, known as the "Prince of Barcelona", had a good sense of foot, scoring two goals with two shots in the first half, El Shaarawy also scored a goal after a brilliant breakthrough, and Ghanaian player Prince Boateng also scored a goal with his own powerful blast.

He Xu looked at the coach with longing, he knew that his opportunity had come. He bent down and tightened his shoelaces, and at the same time quietly took out the plaster that Li Tiangang had given him and stuck it on his left knee.

However, Allegri, who was replaced with four people at the beginning of the second half, did not turn his head to look at He Xu, he replaced Robinho, Ibrahimovic, Xiao Luo, and Pirlo, obviously wanting the main players to warm up. Only the stunned He Xu was left sitting there watching his teammates running on the field, the warm-up game, shouldn't the substitute players be allowed to go up? I'm here, what's going on?

Turning his head to look at Inzaghi who was sitting on the side, He Xu admired the veteran's calmness, Inzaghi felt that He Xu was looking at himself, turned his head and smiled at him, "What's wrong?" Young man, are you in a hurry? ”

He Xu smiled a little embarrassedly, reached out and touched his nose, Inzaghi nodded, "Don't worry, you will have a chance." ”

Hearing this obviously more comforting word, He Xu didn't answer, just nodded, indicating that he understood, and then continued to lean on the back of the chair and wait.

By the time there were twenty minutes left in the game, He Xu had basically given up, and he knew that he basically had no chance in this game. Just as he was completely relaxed, leaning back in his chair and waiting for the referee to blow the final whistle, head coach Allegri suddenly turned around. Looking at He Xu, He Xu was stunned for a moment, and his body instantly tensed up again, almost bounced up. His hand reached into the pocket of his coat, ready to take out the plaster that the old Chinese medicine doctor had given him. The moment his hand reached into his trouser pocket. Allegri spoke, "Philip, go warm up!" Get ready to play. ”

Phenanthrene...... Philip? I don't seem to have that English name! When He Xu was stunned, Inzaghi stood up, took off his coat, turned his head to look at He Xu, and there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes, is it regret? Is it a pity? Or what? In short, He Xu didn't pay attention to this, he just leaned back in the chair again, and told himself again and again in his heart, calm, calm, this is just a warm-up game, nothing remarkable, I will have a chance to play in the future.

He Xu thought so, his eyes were a little straight as he watched his teammates slaughter their opponents with eight goals on the field, the players of Osaka Sakura were beaten to a lack of temper, He Xu originally wanted to laugh at this group of guys after scoring a goal. But it looks like this game is out of the picture.

He Xu's mentality has been quickly adjusted, and he keeps telling himself that this is just the first pre-season warm-up game......
