The temperature at the foot of the snow-capped mountains is very low, especially in the early morning, the sun has not yet risen, and it is as if it is still in the harsh winter, and the biting chill invades your body from the moment you get out of the bed.

Of course, Yang Cheng didn't look for a warm quilt last night, but he slept well last night and was very sweet, not because the hotel's heating facilities were perfect, but because he didn't have too much pressure in his heart, and even he looked at the upcoming game very lightly, because he knew very well that he didn't need to prove anything to anyone.

It's a very strange state, as if I'm gambling money, I've already saved my capital, and it doesn't matter how I gamble next, if I lose, I haven't lost, just as if I haven't won, if I win, I'm happy, but it's a little more winning, and the mentality is very relaxed.

However, relaxation does not mean that he does not want to win, on the contrary, although he is relaxed, he still wants to win, but compared to when he was in charge of the club team before, he no longer takes winning and losing so seriously.

The water used to wash his face and brush his teeth comes from the snow mountain, Yang Cheng is used to using cold, and his teeth hurt when stimulated, but the whole person has become energetic, especially after a comfortable cold war, the feeling is refreshing.

Put on before Jean Paul? When Yang Cheng walked out of the hotel room, he happened to see that the players were also going out one by one, and some were accompanied by their families.

They wake up early every day these days to train, so waking up early is already a must for them.

But today it's a little different, because each of them is wearing a set of mountaineering equipment.

Warm down jacket, which is special for mountaineering, especially for climbing snowy mountains, the warm layer is made of high-quality duck down, the fabric is light and thin, easy to exercise, but it is very dense, waterproof and windproof, and it is some bright colors. Easy to identify in the white snow.

The shoes are alpine shoes, which are specially used for climbing ice and snow mountains, which are very light in texture and have good warmth. It is also waterproof and ventilated, because climbing in the snowy mountains requires more shoes, and there are also leggings for warmth and waterproofing, and crampons must be tied to the soles.

Of course, you can't climb the snowy mountains with hats and glasses, as well as poles and other props, all of which are helped by a professional mountain guide from Tigné. They will be responsible for leading the team all the way from the vicinity of the ski slopes to the majestic snow-capped mountain in front of them.

"Are you all ready?" As soon as Yang Cheng walked downstairs, he saw a group of guys hiding in the mountaineering equipment, and immediately laughed, but he didn't expect that he was actually similar to the players.

"Ready!" One by one, the players seemed to be in high spirits.

Frankly speaking, not only them, but Yang Cheng himself is also very energetic. Because this is the first time he has climbed such a snow-capped mountain.

When he was leading Kaiserslautern, he used to climb mountains, but they weren't as energetic as they are now. Because from them up, all the alpine areas are covered with snow all year round, this kind of training and training is very valuable for the team, because in this harsh environment, the limits and willpower of the players can be fully tested.

"Fatty, help us take care of the car, and the luggage!" Tim? Hank winked at Benitez with a smile.

This immediately made everyone present burst into laughter, because everyone knew it. With Benitez's size, asking him to climb a snowy mountain would be no different from asking him to commit suicide, so from the beginning, no one counted him in the plan.

"Okay, I'll tell the ambulance team to be ready to go up and take you down!" Benitez countered.

Yang Cheng smiled. "Okay, everyone, today is the first day of training after all of us are in place, if anyone is really carried down by the ambulance team, it will be a real shame, thousands of people in the entire Tignes town are watching, don't be ashamed!" …,

"Understood!" The players replied in unison.

For the first time to climb the snow-capped mountain, Yang Cheng also did not understand, so he handed it over to the professional, one of Tigne's most senior ski instructors, it is said that he is as familiar with the snow-capped mountain as he is in his own home, and his advice to the German team is actually the same, "It's like going back to your own home, don't be nervous!" ”

In addition, there are some fans and mountaineering enthusiasts who take the initiative to follow the German national team, and some of them are carrying a variety of shooting equipment, which seems to be specially designed to capture the embarrassing scenes of the German internationals, and then send them to the turtles to slip around.

…………

The Frenchman, Emile, is a well-known ski and mountaineering instructor in the town of Tigne and even in the area around Mont Blanc, so from the moment he left the hotel, he kept teaching Yang Cheng and the players what they needed to pay attention to along the way.

"The mountain is sacred, go close to him, and don't always think about conquering him, or it will take revenge on you!"

"People are small, temper and protect yourself, don't ignore your own life!"

"In the snowy mountains, accidents can happen under any circumstances, so always be vigilant and highly focused!"

"The cold in the snow is the biggest enemy of the climber, he can make your body's various reflexes very slow, so on the surface, mountaineering is about persistence, but in fact, there must be fast and slow, fast and slow have to be well combined, but one thing is very important, that is, balance!"

"Mountaineering and playing football actually have a lot in common, that is, you have to keep your center of gravity stable at all times, a small slope is enough for you to stumble, and there may even be a slip, danger, so always keep your body center of gravity balanced."

"Don't be afraid of the snow-capped mountains in front of you that you don't know when you will be able to reach the top of the mountain, you must believe me, your biggest enemy is not the snow-capped mountain, but yourself, your fear, fear, relaxation, nervousness, paralysis, are your biggest enemies in mountaineering, and this enemy comes from yourself, overcome it, maintain strong fighting spirit and firm confidence, have a fearless spirit and courage, then soon you will reach the end!"

Emir kept introducing along the way, although he had already trained the players in the hotel before, but he still took the trouble to say it, and in fact, the whole process. The team did have some surprises.

For example, Hummels once accidentally slipped under his feet and the whole person slipped down, just as Bad Stuber in front of him and Neuer behind him, one grabbed his safety rope. One reacted quickly enough to grab his clothes to avoid an accident.

Of course, for safety reasons, they didn't deliberately choose the trails that only professional mountaineers would take, they chose safer trails, so even if Hummels slid down, it would be as skiable as skiing for some distance. But it's going to be fine.

Moreover, each of them has a radio installed on their bodies, and there is a small emergency helicopter at the foot of the mountain, which can rescue them as soon as possible to ensure that nothing goes wrong, so Yang Cheng is willing to arrange such a training program.

"Are you alright?" Yang Cheng beckoned the team to continue walking, and turned around to ask with concern.

"It's fine!" Hummels' lips were dry, and his face turned a little pale with fright.

Seeing him like this, Yang Cheng shook his head and smiled. Pull down your warm mask, "Boy, be attentive." Every step is solid, then it is not easy to slip, understand? ”

Hummels exhaled deeply, and the white gas turned into smoke, which soon dissipated without a trace. …,

After a small accident, the team continued to move forward, and after being taught a lesson by Hummels, everyone began to become cautious, and their attention remained focused, not daring to be careless. Because no one knows how long it will take to slip down once you slip down to get to the bottom?

Everything is the same, at the beginning it is very exciting, interested, with a wave of enthusiasm. With enthusiasm, it seems that they can conquer this snow-capped mountain, but when they go up the mountain and climb up the ski slope in a winding way, especially after climbing some steep slopes, their physical energy is seriously consumed, and people begin to lose their morale and lose their fighting spirit.

But the snow-capped mountains in front of you still seem to be so high that you still can't see the end!

Yang Cheng was very aware of the changes in the team, because at the beginning, this group of boys were still talking with interest, but after more than an hour, they were now only left with the strength to breathe, and they didn't say anything, especially after Hummels almost slipped and fell, they all seemed very cautious.

Looking at the emir, Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "What other tricks, coach!" "At this moment, the Emir is the boss of the team.

saw the red-clad coach clapping his hands vigorously, and he opened his mouth directly, claiming to be a singer of Tigne.

The courage of men constructs distant dreams.

If you want to be a hero on the field of tomorrow, you must first become a man today.

Greetings to the warriors who came from afar, from the red coach of Tigne.

The snow came into view, and the hope of achieving his triumph in the future.

What are you after?

A brilliant victory?

An unforgettable champion?

Or is it a promise with history?

You are so different, you are the hope of all!

Forward, my warriors, believe that you can conquer all!

……

Emile's voice, frankly speaking, is not good, the melody of the song is also very ordinary, but it is very interesting, this Frenchman seems to be very fanatical, very happy, his song is specially made for Yang Cheng and others, so he sings very energetically.

Yang Cheng and the others just listened, and no one told the emir that he was really bad at singing, and they didn't have much strength to talk about him.

But listen and listen, over and over again, in this vast snowy land, in this snowy mountain where you can only hear the sound of the howling wind, the more you listen to this song, the more beautiful it becomes, especially the melody, the more you listen to it, the more moving and more passionate.

Gradually, some people began to sing along, and gradually, more and more people began to sing along, and finally, everyone sang this song written and composed by the emir himself, and there was no song title.

No one knows how far the song can travel in this vast snowfield, but everyone seems to be able to feel their teammates from this song and the rope they are holding in their hands, and feel that they are not alone, they are not alone, and they feel what it means to be a team.

Yang Cheng listened to the singing, and he also sang along, don't look at him as a coach, he is not young, but his physical fitness may not be lost to this group of professional players. So he always followed the team.

"You have to be mentally prepared that the closer you get to the top of the mountain, the lower the temperature will be, and the worse the environment will be. It may even reach more than ten degrees below zero, so you must be careful and stay focused! The emir reminded the team loudly.

Everyone can feel it, because the mountain wind is getting stronger and stronger, and even mixed with snow, sometimes the cheeks are beaten in the face when they sweep in the face. Even if there is no snow, the wind seems to cut your cheeks. …,

Yang Cheng's whole face was also very cold, especially the exposed skin was very painful, but he didn't stop.

He believes that at this moment, all the players are all the people, including the emir. They are all looking forward to the moment when they reach the top of the mountain, but how far they are from that moment. No one knows, and no one knows if they can hold on, so they can only grit their teeth and persevere.

Step by step, one by one along the rope, no one will back down at this time, because they all know very well that the destination is ahead, not far away from them.

Success and failure, many times are often just a step, you step over. You've succeeded, you've backed down, I'm sorry, no matter how hard you work in front of you, you're a loser!

When we reached the top of the mountain, everyone was standing. Facing the sun overhead, it seems that they want to feel its heat in this ice and snow, although it seems insignificant, they can all feel a little warmth.

No one spoke, just stood silently.

There is no such heroism as the so-called overlooking of the mountains at the top of the mountain, because it is not very high, and there are higher peaks around it, which are also covered with snow, and look white, and their position is actually very low.

If it is in normal times, some people may be disappointed because they have worked hard to climb to the top of the mountain, but in the end they find that they still can't reach the highest point, because there are still higher, steeper, and more difficult to conquer around them.

But at this moment, Yang Cheng believes that everyone feels the same as him, that is, satisfaction, and they have done it!

But at the same time they feel satisfied, they also feel a hunger in their hearts, because they have only conquered the shortest mountain, and they want to be able to challenge higher, preferably directly to Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps!

They rested on the mountain for a short while, and then boarded the cable car directly down the mountain, and the whole process was very easy for four people.

But Yang Cheng was thinking, is mountaineering the same as being a person?

After a morning of hard work, gritting my teeth and supporting, I finally reached the top of the mountain, but in the end, standing on the top of the mountain, I found that I was only climbing the shortest mountain, and the surrounding mountains were higher and more difficult to conquer.

But when I think about it, is climbing just to challenge the highest and most difficult mountain?

So even if you get to Mount Everest, so what?

Perhaps, as the emir said, climb the mountain, do not think about conquering it, but think about getting close to it, feeling its magnificence, feeling its invincibility, feeling everything about it, and challenging your own limits while honing and learning to protect yourself.

Isn't it the same with being a human being?

Back down the hill, it was exactly noon, and the players had a short break and then went to eat, after which they rested.

In the process, the coaching staff at Yamashita has already prepared a new restorative method for them, called hydrotherapy.

The expert team specially put a lot of ice water in the swimming pool of the hotel, so that the players can move in this ice water, the water is very cold, but it is not as cold as the snowy mountains, and the players have enough to warm up, go down to move and jump, which is good enough for the recovery of the body.

In the afternoon, the team had an intensive training session, which consisted of 90 minutes in which the team was divided into three groups and took turns to play a total of 30 minutes of group matches, which was the whole court, and all the players had to give it their all, and then took turns to do it, with high-intensity physical training in between. …,

After conquering the snowy mountains, the physical strength has not fully recovered, and the players have invested in such high-intensity training, but after they survived this training session, they found that the training arrangement was not over, they were taken to the hotel by the coaching staff, and everyone was given a bicycle that was already in the hotel, and then they were asked to race the bicycle around the road on the shore of Lake Sherifri near the small town of Tigne, and those who could not finish it within the stipulated time were punished.

Walk down the hill along the lakeside road, about 10 kilometers or so, to a hotel downstream, where the players temporarily left their bikes.

The whole road is almost downhill, very easy to walk, but there are a lot of twists and turns, and it is not a small test for the players.

Once downstream, the final test of the day's training session came up, when the players were asked to travel in kayaks, in manual rowing boats, upstream, in groups of six, in groups of five, back to Tigné Dam near Lake Sherifri near Tigne, then back to their hotel in Tigne on their bikes.

The whole process ended with the day's training session just before sunset.

Yang Cheng and the others were all in the car and didn't feel anything, but as soon as they returned to the hotel, the players were so tired that they almost fell to the ground, but they still had to go to the physical examination of the expert team and the spa recovery.

If you are tired on the first day, how will you be able to do it in the next few days? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
