Standing on the football field, he picked up the ball with a boring kick, picked up the net erected in the middle, and watched the football point fall, Rossi raised his hand and celebrated that he had successfully kicked the ball over again. He looked at Borg on the sidelines and raised his hand to signal that he was tired.

Looking at his appearance, Borg also said that he could make a substitution.

The Christmas party had passed, and Li Bin had not made up his mind, and Borg knew that this was a somewhat difficult decision for Li Bin, and he did not rush it. Where is it different to go as a strength and conditioning coach? Anyway, he's in charge of these things.

What the players are playing now is a game called tennis football: this game is a rectangular court with a net of 8*16m, the net is one meter high, and then five people on each side play according to the rules of volleyball - the difference is that the ball can land once, but not twice in a row on the side of the ground, nor can a player touch the ball twice in a row, of course, the other details are also a little different, but roughly, just like that.

This kind of game is a very easy football game, because there is no confrontation, no strength, no need to consume too much physical strength, it is very suitable for players to rest, as a game to play - this game is a football game developed by the Brazilians themselves, you can practice skills, and at the same time you can also practice some coordination ability, the consumption is small, as a recovery training project, it is also very good. Now on the court, Rossi is also using this game for recovery training, trying to adjust his condition to the best as soon as possible.

The recovery training of football players after injury is divided into four links: the earliest recovery of the injured part, and the functional training for the injured part - this is also the most basic injury recovery of the player, and after completing this step, it is to recover from the patient to the normal person; Then there is the recovery of health, which is to restore the strength and flexibility - after the player has been suspended for a long time, the physical fitness will decline a lot, and it will take some effort to return to the state of an athlete. Then, there is the recovery training of the circulatory system - this is to do recovery training for cardiopulmonary function after the large-scale injury of the player, that is, to restore the player's due physical strength and explosiveness, and to be able to adapt to the long game, which is to make the player become able to adapt to the long-term full-game game; At the end of the day, comprehensive training is started to allow the players to adapt to the joint training with the team - this is also to allow the players to adapt to the game and be able to play with the team.

It's a slow process and the players need to recover step by step without any impatience. Many times, some teams have players who are injured and recover quite slowly, surprisingly slow: even if they are hit by a big truck, half a year is almost fine, but players are often injured for a year, how can they recover so slowly? Actually, that's the problem. For normal people, if the recovery is the first step, or even if the first step is not completed, it can be regarded as a complete injury recovery, but the players, they can't do this, they have to recover to the fourth step.

If the recovery is not good, it is a big problem. Sometimes, when I see a player injured and return to the field again, I feel that he is always playing the wrong game, and many times, this is not because of the injury, but because the player's strength and flexibility have declined, or because he has not run for a long time, his cardiopulmonary function has declined, and his running ability is not as good as before. And many times, if you don't play well, it will make the players impatient, and if you are impatient, you are likely to be injured again, especially if the injury has not healed and there is a problem with the stress area, which will make the players get injured faster. Some players have been injured once and then have been injured for so many years that they can't recover even for a few years.

Rosie has now passed those stages, and his cardiopulmonary function and physical condition have recovered well. But now, he is still in the stage of training with the team, but Parma does not let him directly into the regular game, but is doing such a little bit of restorative game training, starting from these trainings, let his form return little by little.

"Good play, it's time to rest."

When Rossi was replaced, he also walked to Borg's side, looking at the physical trainer who had been in charge of his recovery training, he also spoke, "I'm in good shape now, right?" I even feel like my level has improved a lot, and now I can participate in formal training, right? ”

Rossi's words made Borg look at him: Rossi's recovery is really good now, the current level of surgery is not comparable to five or six years, his surgery is very successful, and after the operation, he hired his own trainer in the United States, and the training recovery has been very good, it has been a month faster than expected, but he is still a little dissatisfied and wants to recover faster.

However, he was not wrong to think so. After the injury, in training, he can no longer run at speed, and, after half a year of rest, he has been watching the game, which has also broadened his horizons a lot, and now it is difficult to say whether his strength has improved, but at least, his playing realm has improved a little, if he is lucky, after this year, he may improve some strength.

And to his request, Borg also nodded.

"Well, I think it's pretty much the same." Borg was very talkative, "You can consider taking a corner kick training." ”

"Corner kick training?" Rosie was a little dissatisfied, "Can't you just participate in the competition?" ”

The recovery training of football players, to the fourth step, is the most necessary step by step, first game training, then set-piece training, and finally the regular game.

In set-piece training, it is also divided into multiple parts, and compared with penalty training and throw-in training, corner kicks are the most important one to cooperate. Penalty training is a very boring job, unless it is a person with a particularly high level of penalty kicks, many times it is by relying on temporary preparation to greatly improve the strength of both sides. In the 06 World Cup, before the penalty match between the German team and the Argentine team, the goalkeeper of the German team received a note from the coaching staff to him, which stated the penalty characteristics of the Argentine team, and in Li Bin's memory, before the Champions League 08 final, the penalty habits of each player on both sides, the ratio of which corner to shoot is, and who is more likely to temporarily change the way of shooting, are all prepared by the scouts - these are the work of scouts, and the success rate of penalties in many cases depends on the details of preparation. In fact, this is also the biggest reason why Li Bin thinks about Spain, for them, they don't need special means, write a note with the penalty characteristics of all the players of the Spanish team to Buffon, there is a great possibility to get them.

Corner kick training is another situation, corner kick training does not need too much confrontation, but it needs to be cooperated, compared to game training, corner kick training needs some confrontation and cooperation, and it is also more conducive to the recovery of the player's mentality, which is a big step in recovery training.

"Don't talk nonsense, you know that you can't do it now." Borg shook his head, "Also, did you do any counseling?" ”

"I went, but I didn't think it made much sense, they always told me not to be afraid, and the training I was given was also a training to develop courage - am I like a coward? There is no point in such training. ”

Borg ignored him: these things, no player will admit, but subconscious problems, there are still problems. Mental training should be carried out throughout the recovery training, and this must not be missing, otherwise, if the players are on the field, even if there is no problem with the state, there will be problems in the competition for half of the goal.

In many cases, the team does not care so much about the recovery of football players: in general, it is rare for Li Bin to do enough recovery training step by step. Many times, the players themselves don't know much, and as coaches and management, they don't want to watch the players not be able to play after they are injured, for fear of affecting the results, which will make the players play quickly - sometimes, when they encounter a coach who has lost their conscience, they simply let the players play with injections. In this way, it didn't seem to be a big problem at the time, some small physical problems, insufficient running-in with cooperation, plus some small scrambles were not serious enough, which would not affect too much. However, when these things accumulate too much, it becomes a problem. Moreover, not to mention, forcing players to play without healing from old injuries is very likely to add to the injuries of the players.

'You do a little bit of recovery training first, it's just the New Year, you're already working on corners, which is already good, and at the start of the second half of the season you can try to play cup games and in February you'll be almost ready to play.'

"So, I won't be able to fully recover until April, right?" Rosie asked rhetorically.

"Of course, you're badly injured, and that's good. If you're still in time for this season's Champions League final, that's great. ”

This sentence made Rossi silent for a while before he spoke again, "Now each of us is talking about the Champions League final." ”

"Of course, do you think it shouldn't?"

Should it? If it had been before, Rosie would have felt that it was too much of a gamble. A defeat in one game would have made Parma's previous efforts undone. Now, though, looking at Parma's current state, he can't say anything.

Parma's players have been steadily improving over the past few seasons. The players' morale is also getting bigger and bigger. From the very beginning, when they got together, they just thought that it would be okay to play as a good youth army, but after the youth army, they won the League Cup, so they started to dream of winning the league title. And they also fulfilled this dream, winning the highest points and the most glorious championship in Serie A. And now that they've won the league, they're dreaming of the Champions League.

Is this a big dream? Maybe big. But is this dream far away? He doesn't feel particularly far away. Since there is no problem with this step by step, how can there be a problem with this last step?

In the past few years, I have made great progress. Now, when he thinks about what he thought three years ago, he thinks he's ridiculous. Entered a wealthy family, became the core of the team, had a glorious future, won the Golden Globe Award, married a beautiful model, and embarked on the road to stardom - the dreams of the year were broken one by one, but he did not have any feeling of being shattered, on the contrary, he felt that the dream that these dreams came together is the most beautiful dream - we people, from nothing to everything, this is the most beautiful dream.

"No, that's as it should be. If I had before, I would have thought that this kind of confidence we had was really terrible. Lee said we could play in the Champions League final, we could win the title, and then, all of us, we were all going for the title. At the beginning of the season, I had just come back, and at that time, I didn't think we would be able to win the Champions League, but now, you know, I have already decided that after this season, the Champions League will be ours. Rosie was silent for a moment before speaking again, "In that case, then, I can't just leave it at that—look, when it comes to the finals, I'll go to the next level!" ”
