Li Bin naturally remembered that the child he signed by himself more than a year ago, but he didn't expect that this child would make Esposito have such a high evaluation so quickly. He looked at Esposito with interest, wanting him to explain to him what he thought so.

"This kid has everything he needs to succeed, he's got pretty good physically, he's trained hard, he's got a solid technique. It's not that we don't have a medical report, you can look at the data, you can see that he's always had a body fat ratio of 8%, and I think if I order, he can quickly get that number lower, but that's not necessary. Esposito explained.

Borg, who was beside Li Bin, handed the physical examination report to Li Bin, and the numbers on it made Li Bin quite surprised. The body fat ratio of 8% is quite amazing, which is close to the standard of 7% for long-distance runners, which is naturally very good.

Although the body fat ratio does not indicate the physical condition of the players, it can well explain how well the players' training is maintained. People who don't exercise enough, the body fat ratio content can't be very low, and the low body fat ratio at least shows that the players have been maintaining exercise. Generally speaking, the body fat ratio of healthy men should be about 15%, and the body fat ratio below 8% requires a lot of exercise, Li Bin remembers that Ronaldo is almost this body fat ratio in Real Madrid, and it is unlikely to drop even lower when it comes to this body fat ratio - even if it is a bodybuilder, only during the competition, will maintain a body fat ratio of less than 5%.

It's not easy for a footballer to have this level, and the average for all registered players in Italy is 19% – including those registered in the lower leagues, which is much lower than 8%, which is of course much better.

For example, the national team of a major Asian country has always not looked at the body fat ratio, and their average body fat ratio has reached 22%~24% of the amazing data - the standard body fat ratio for adult women is 25%. This thing reflects the training situation, and if you want to see the level of the players, you still have to look at other things.

There are many physical examination reports for football training. Moreover, it is not FM after all, all of them are unified standards, and then expressed by the same amount of 1-20, in football training, they prefer to use different test items to measure the different abilities of players, and these test items are also relatively professional. Looking at the level of the players, you can't always say whether the scout's words are super or amazing, there is a formal test method there, and one item is checked.

"His strength data is here, the bench press is 1.5, the squat is 2.5, this level is obviously very good. The number of sit-ups is 32, which is slightly worse, but this is also the standard that even adults can meet. ”

Bench press and squat, the average maximum number for 80% of the players sampled, are specified as a standard amount to see how good the players are. The bench press above 1.4 is excellent, the squat above 2.8 is excellent, and Palmeri has reached 1.5 and 2.5, indicating that his upper limb strength is good enough, but the lower limb strength still needs to be practiced. The sit-ups are to examine the amount of waist and abdominal strength, looking at the number of continuous sit-ups within 30 seconds, as a player, 20 is considered good, 25 is considered good, and more than 30 is considered excellent. 32, which is already a very high level.

"What about strength, endurance and explosiveness?"

"You can do more than 60 push-ups and jump 60 in place." Esposito muttered, "This guy's body, sometimes I look at it with jealousy." ”

In addition to testing the maximum strength, the football player also needs to test the strength and endurance, and the test method is also very simple, that is, to do push-ups continuously. Of course, this varies according to age, and the standard of 20-29 years old is the highest, but the highest is only 54 or more, which is considered completely excellent. If you reach more than 60, you will have no problem with your stamina.

However, the problem of vertical jumping is slightly bigger: the 60-level vertical jump corresponds to the jump height between 65cm-70cm in boys. The vertical jump in place is a test of the explosiveness of the player, and this number is still not a small distance from the top vertical jump. Conventionally, generally speaking, vertical jumps above level 65, that is, the bounce force of more than 76cm, is considered the top bounce. However, Li Bin didn't say anything about this - this kid is more than 180cm tall, jumps 70cm on the spot, and the Caucasian arm span is already long, and he can dunk on the spot if he is lucky, what else can't he do? It's not basketball, and the bounce is too good and doesn't do much use - in fact, the bounce rating of football players, the highest level of 100, is only 91cm of bounce. Like the 100cm spring legs that bounce on the spot in the NBA, the football world is even an indefinable person.

"In this case, the strength of the legs seems to be a little worse?" Li Bin asked.

"Yes, I asked him, he used to play tennis, so he has good arm strength. Also, because of his tennis, he has to move more quickly than the average player, which is very helpful for defenders. ”

Li Bin nodded, he also knew that people who play tennis have more experience in pace. In fact, there have been many good goalkeepers, all of whom were born in tennis. Sports are all intrinsically related, and it's normal for people who have practiced tennis to be quicker than footballers.

And if the pace is agile, it can be a great help for a player to defend. In Li Bin's memory, among the defensive players, Gattuso, who is a well-deserved top three in the whole of Italy, has an extremely unnatural cadence. With a good pace, you can always take advantage.

"If so, what's the speed?"

"The 30-meter burst run is 70 level, which is also good."

Soccer players measure their speed more often than 30 seconds – anyway, soccer doesn't really need to run 100 meters. The standard of 70 is to be able to run 30 meters in 2.8 seconds - of course, this 2.8 seconds is the fastest speed between runs, and if it is a start, it may be slower because of running posture and reaction speed. This is already very good, the 100-level standard in football, that is, 30 meters and 2.5 seconds, that is really set for sprinters, Li Bin suspects, normal humans should not consider challenging this speed.

It is a very troublesome job to calculate the speed of the explosion in football, because the starting posture of many players is not standard, and it is easy to form a gap, so the more professional statistics in the football industry are the fastest speed measurement in 30 seconds between the marches, that is, running for 100 seconds, and intercepting the fastest 30 meters of speed to calculate. However, some teams, for their own convenience, still use the starting speed test, and the starting posture of running is not the same, which makes a lot of running data confusing in the football world. For example, in memory, a certain striker of Evergrande is 40 meters and 3.54 seconds, and a striker in the Bundesliga is 30 meters and 3.7 seconds, and some people say that they are faster than Usain Bolt, which makes people feel confused - you are faster than Bolt, isn't Evergrande a fairy? However, the Bundesliga is talking about the starting speed, while Evergrande is talking about the speed between the marches - Bolt's maximum speed in the 30-meter march is 2.46 seconds, a human record speed, and the footballer can only kneel when he sees it. Many people always say that football players are fast for a certain period of time, and they surpass Usain Bolt, but in fact, taking the peak 30 meters as an example, there is still no stronger human group than Usain Bolt.

Of course, Li Bin has always suspected that the news of the Bundesliga super-fast striker squatting start of 3.7 seconds and 30 meters in his memory is fake - because if this speed is a squatting start, it is too slow, and a fast player with a little training can also squat and run for 3.4 seconds, and I don't know how this data is measured.

"If there is no problem with strength and speed, there should be no problem with power, endurance, and flexibility?"

Li Bin also saw that the training level of this player was very high, and he also saw the rest of the items roughly.

"I haven't measured the power carefully, and the result of the 10*30 test is 85%-90% at this stage, which is still very good. Similarly, in terms of endurance, I didn't use the anaerobic threshold test, and when I tested it with the cooper, the result was 3500 meters. ”

The so-called cooper test is a 12-minute run test, this thing Li Bin knew in his last life, it is the test standard of the Chinese Super League, 2800 meters below the unqualified, all brushed down, and it also made many people unhappy - in fact, 12 minutes to run 2800 meters, this standard is the full score standard of the college sports test, football players, 3100 meters below are poor, 3400 meters is barely good, if you want to be excellent, you have to have 3700 meters.

The 3500 meters seems to be a little bit worse than the standard of excellence, but the young age and the defender are acceptable.

"The flexibility is very good, the sitting extension is 27cm, and the twist is 14cm, which is very good."

The standard of excellence for a 16-year-old player is 28cm, and it is naturally good to be able to reach 27. The twist is something that no one else usually sees, he refers to drawing a perpendicular line in the front court, the player's back to the wall, the spine and the perpendicular line are parallel, the feet do not leave the ground, the arms are raised flat and parallel to the ground, the body is rotated to the maximum extent, the ankle joint, knees, and waist can be twisted, and then see how many centimeters the fingertips exceed the perpendicular line - more than 15 is considered a very good standard. He didn't reach the level of excellence, however, the standard of excellence was originally for those small people who were more flexible than ordinary people in the front court, and it was normal for him to fail to reach it.

"In terms of agility, the current Illinos test is about 16 seconds – I said he has a different agility than the average defender. But I guess it might go down when you get older, but it's still the best of the tall guys. ”

The Illinos test is a 10-meter round-trip run plus a four-obstacle round-trip run over a 10-meter distance, plus a 10-meter round-trip run – this is the agility test. Generally speaking, 15.2 seconds or more is the top player, but that statistic is set for players under 1.70cm, and there is absolutely no possibility for players above 1.80cm to reach this standard. And 16 seconds is already pretty good for a big man.

The statistics of football players are simple in FM to convert numbers within 20, but when it comes to testing on the field, it has to be done in these ways. This still does not include the fiber ratio test, enzyme content test and other test items, only when all these things are tested, can we determine what a player's physical fitness is. Modern football is not a bygone era, and it is too difficult to see that a player is not slow to run, or he can give him a ball when he is strong, but it is too difficult to appear in the modern era of commercialization.

Through these data, Li Bin also has a preliminary understanding of what Palmeri has been valued by Esposito, and the physical fitness of this player is indeed amazing.

'He's very physical, but that's not the biggest reason I value him. Esposito continued, "He plays football and is a man who likes to use his brain. ”
