Chapter 18: Preparing for the Season "Hey, It's Lili"

It was another sunny morning, and the sun was shining into the room, not light or heavy, just enough to make people very comfortable. If you are woken up by such a warm sun, it must be a very happy thing.

But, alas, the hero is not blessed.

At this time, he had already come back from morning exercise, washed all the baths, and began to eat breakfast as usual a few days ago, while talking to Lili on the phone.

Breakfast was simple, unseasoned egg sandwich and a big glass of fresh milk. Although he prefers his mother's Chinese-style breakfast, the hero is also accustomed to such a simple Western-style breakfast due to the fact that he is often away from home.

It's just that it's such an ordinary breakfast, but the hero can eat it happily every day. The reason was not how contented he was, but because of the crisp and melodious voice that rang in his ears at this time, like a silver bell.

Ever since the hero left home to follow Mendes around for tryouts, a phone call every morning has become a must-do for both young men and women, and is slowly becoming a habit of life.

The hero is not a person who can hide his feelings very well, and he knows this.

So when the previous trials were unsuccessful, although he didn't say it on the phone, his low and lifeless tone couldn't hide anything, but he had a feeling of wanting to cover up.

But Lili doesn't seem to hear it every time, just telling the hero the interesting things and trivia of her ordinary life. If the hero doesn't speak, she will continue to talk by herself, and she will not have the slightest impatience. Moreover, before the end of each call, she would cheer for the hero with vigor and say, "Come on! Brother Hero, you will definitely succeed! ”

Every now and then, just by imagining the delicate and cute appearance of the girl clenching her fists and cheering, the haze in the hero's heart will be expelled, and he will be surrounded by the warm sunshine again, igniting the motivation to continue and persevere.

This girl used her delicate mind like a breeze and drizzle, and her innocent and sincere emotions to become one of the biggest helpers for the hero at that time.

Until now, if you don't listen to Lili's voice every day, the hero will feel uncomfortable all over his body, like an itch that can't be scratched. It's not a disease, it's not a pain, but it just has to be solved.

Without the hero himself noticing, the relationship between the two has crossed the boundary of being a friend with one foot and has become a young ambiguous relationship.

This kind of relationship is like the fragrance of clear apples, which makes the hero obsessed with it, but because he is in the mountains, he doesn't know where to go. Something as pure and beautiful as the morning dew was blooming in his heart, but he didn't know when he would find out.

"Okay, yes. Bye. ”

After hanging up the phone, the hero felt warm and full of strength, as if he had just finished practicing Tongzigong.

After settling the remaining little breakfast, the hero got up and prepared to go to the training base for a day of training.

After leaving the apartment complex, the hero walked to the place where the bus was taken. Since he has not yet bought a car, he can only use the bus as his main means of transportation every day.

On the bus, the hero sat quietly alone, and no one came to disturb him.

Although his move to Valencia has been announced on the team's official website, it has not caused any repercussions at all, except for the attention of some of Valencia's most die-hard fans.

In this regard, although the hero is inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, he doesn't care much. He was confident that this wouldn't last long, and he hoped that he could appear in this way and break into people's eyes.

Besides, it's not without benefits, at least he can still be calm now. With the beginning of the career, this kind of time is bound to become less and less, and now is a rare time to enjoy.

Like now, the time when he is unknown on the bus, at most only occasionally recognized by one or two people, and the two sides just nod and smile at each other, the hero will definitely miss it in the near future, but he doesn't know it yet.

"Hey, little one, it's early today!"

"One morning, it's the best time to exercise, Uncle Smallen."

"Haha! Go ahead, little one. Hopefully you can make your debut at the Mestalla Stadium sooner rather than later. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Smollen."

Uncle Smollen, 52, is the janitor at the Valencia training base. He is very affable and arguably one of the first non-team club staff members the hero became familiar with in Valencia. Every day before entering the training base, laughing and talking to Uncle Smollen has been a must-do for heroes every day in the past few days.

After entering the training base, it was deserted. It's not that everyone else is lazy, but in view of the approaching new season, the team has been taken out by Benitez to warm up.

The warm-up match before the start of the season was supposed to be the most important run-in stage between a new player like a hero and the team, but Benitez did not bring him with him, because compared to this, the hero has more important things to stay in the training base to complete.

The thing that is, to store physical energy.

With no intention of sending the hero to the youth team for a while, Benitez intended to keep him in the first team from the beginning, even if he was only 18 years old.

To do this, the hero must have the physical fitness to match the first team, or be closer.

Although the hero's physical fitness is very good among his peers due to his martial arts practice, he is still 18 years old after all, and due to the limitations of this still developing body, compared to the physical requirements of the first team, he is still not up to standard.

Therefore, this has become the most urgent problem for heroes to solve.

Compared to this, the run-in has become a secondary thing. Because at this time, the hero in Benitez's heart, at best, is only a surprise soldier in the new season, and it is not yet to the point of standing combat power.

Benitez admits that heroes are a piece of jade, and a little carving of the future will make it a big thing, but that is the future. In his current plan, the hero will have the opportunity to work out in the new season, but it will never be too long.

In this regard, under Mendez's reminder, the hero is also clear.

Not satisfied, not accepting, this is his attitude. However, he will not be stupid enough to protest directly with Benitez, but will use the table on the field to make Benitez change this plan.

This is not an easy thing to do, the hero is well aware, but he has confidence, confidence as sharp as a sword.

on the pitch.

"Alright, hero, let's get started now." After seeing that the hero had changed into his training clothes, Bernard said.

Since he is Benitez's right-hand man, Benitez is very relieved to hand over the matter of training the hero's physical fitness to him as an assistant coach.

And he did a good job, and he was proficient in physical training, which helped the hero a lot in terms of physical training. Coupled with the practice of martial arts, the Hero's physical growth plan even exceeded Bernard's expectations, showing a very good upward momentum.

The training that used to take a day to complete in the plan can now be completed in a little more than half a day, which is a very gratifying improvement.

In addition to these, Bernard also received quite a few surprises from the hero.

For example, at noon one day, he was attracted by the hero who was practicing the meditation chapter in Tong Zigong. The hero's legendary Chinese kung fu-like posture aroused his great curiosity.

As soon as the hero finished his work, he couldn't wait to ask the hero about this Chinese kung fu. As a true Chinese kung fu fan, he has a boundless interest in it.

The hero did not hide his secrets, and while briefly explaining, he caused Bernard to be amazed by a few flicking legs. Seeing that Bernard was really interested, the hero also taught him a few tricks by the way.

Among them, he also specially consulted the solid book in the hero boy gong. When listening to the hero's simple explanation, the effect of this solid book caught his attention, and a wolf-like green light immediately flashed in his eyes.

Although he is no longer a child, he will not have the same effect as a hero if he practices, but, well, it still has a great effect in improving the function of men in bed at night.

The morning after the hero handed it to him, Bernard gave the hero a thumbs up as soon as he saw him, which made the hero a little confused. To this day, remembering the weird smile on the corner of Bernard's mouth at that time, the hero feels quite uncomfortable.

However, after teaching Bernard these things, the hero still received some benefits unintentionally. Perhaps inspired by the magic of Tong Zigong, Bernard actually asked about the hero's plan in terms of training content, and allowed the hero to modify his plan.

Such a privilege is unimaginable for a young player on one side.

At first, the hero was also a little cowering, not daring to mention anything. In the end, after Bernard's repeated requests, he came up with some of his own ideas, including some fancy equipment and training procedures.

For example, the strange iron frame that is now placed at the foot of the training ground is one of them.

It is 3 meters high, 8 meters long and 8 meters wide, and is composed of iron pipes. On the top frame of the square, it is separated by an iron pipe every half a meter. On these iron pipes, a large sandbag is hung every half a meter.

The method used is also very simple, that is, after the big sandbags are moved, people immediately get into it, and flash and move between the big sandbags flying back and forth, and the longer the better.

This thing will not be strange to Chinese when they see it, and Bernard is amazed after watching the hero play it again. This is the most important item that the hero thinks of as training his physical agility.

In addition to this, there are many other similar things, such as iron sandbags used to train shooting power, etc., which are all training props or methods specially designed by the hero for himself.

It is also through these aspects that the hero begins to really take his first steps on the road of kung fu football.

Time flashed quickly in his daily training, and before he knew it, the pace of the new season had come to him.
