Chapter 150: Shenfeng Training Camp
Ringer joined Atletico Madrid for 40 million euros and signed a four-year professional contract with Atletico Madrid, with an annual salary of 5.5 million euros after tax, but 1.5 million of them are subject to appearance restrictions. To put it simply, Ringer has played more than 25 games for Atletico Madrid in a single season, and his annual salary is 5.5 million, and if he has too many injuries and plays less than 25 games in a season, he will only have an annual salary of 4 million.
Ringer's annual salary is only the standard of ordinary European stars, not high, Barcelona gave Neymar an annual salary of more than 7 million euros after tax, but Ringer is already one of the highest-paid players in the Atletico Madrid team, and several core players such as Diego Godin and Gabi are on par.
Now Ringer is no longer a substitute, and there is a limit on the number of appearances in his annual salary, so there is no appearance fee, but there is a goal award and an assist award.
The contract stipulates that the goal award in Europe and La Liga is 40,000, the assist award is 20,000, and the domestic cup competition is halved. A club like Atletico Madrid is indeed not as good as a giant club in terms of financial resources, and Ringer could have had a goal award of 40,000 yuan at Bayern.
In addition, other championship bonuses, Champions League promotion bonuses, etc. are calculated separately, and Ringer's personal portrait rights account for half of each.
"What do the Chinese think Madrid is? Is it a place where he can go wild? First he claimed that he wanted to help Atletico Madrid compete for the Champions League, and then he said that they were the best team in Madrid, and he may not have figured out which clubs in Spain are in the last six months of Europe"
This is Real Madrid's mouthpiece Ace's criticism of Ringer's words on the day of his official arrival.
However, Ringer is not visible for the time being, and he went with the team to train for the new season. Even if you see him, you won't take it to heart, it's just a simple words to please the fans, why bother going online.
There is a small town called San Rafael near Madrid, where the whole Atletico Madrid team has been training for a few days.
"Lin, come here." Ringer was training with the whole team on the field for a while, when he was stopped by a fat man, who grabbed Ringer's shoulders and pulled him over, and then said to the others: "You continue to train, I will talk to Lin alone." ”
It's been a few days since he arrived at Atletico Madrid, and Ringer has figured out what's going on within the Atletico team.
As far as Atletico's coaching staff is concerned, the head coach is Argentine Diego Simeone, the same person who got Beckham off the pitch at the '98 World Cup.
Simeone was a well-rounded midfielder when he was a player, capable of attacking and defending, and was particularly known for his aggressiveness and interception. After becoming the head coach, his coaching style is also very tough, with a strong emphasis on the team's defense, especially for interception, and Atletico Madrid has been trained by him to become a typical defensive counter-attacking team.
And Simeone's defense is different from Mourinho's bus defense, Simeone attaches great importance to pressing, and the team's defense is based on high pressing, just like the full-court pressing in basketball, the team is active defense, not the passive defense that was commonly used by defensive teams in the past.
Another point, perhaps because of his personality, Simeone is also the quintessential passionate coach, and he can be seen on the sidelines in excitement or roaring almost every game.
Simeone is at the heart of the entire coaching staff, surrounded by fitness coach Oscar Olgat, goalkeeper coach Pablo Vercerón and assistant coach Gelman Boggs.
Olgat is an old man who has been working for Atletico for more than a decade, and he has a knack for physical training, and he is often Simeone's most trusted helper.
Goalkeeper coach Viceron is very unique in the reaction training of goalkeepers, and Atletico Madrid has produced good goalkeepers De Gea, Courtois, and later Oblak, these top goalkeepers have a lot of credit to Vicerlon.
The fat man who was just called Ringer was the team's assistant coach Gelman Boggs, who was an Argentine goalkeeper in his early years, teammate Simeone, and later became Simeone's assistant coach.
Boggs has the long flowing hair that Argentine players like, a beard around his mouth, a wide body and a fat body, but he is a grumpy guy, plus he likes rock music, and has been given many nicknames by Atletico fans.
Rock star Boggs, hot-tempered Boggs, domineering fat Boggs, want to beat the referee Boggs, pinch the head of Mu Bird Boggs.
Well, now that Mourinho is coaching in the Premier League, he has no chance to pinch Mu Bird's head.
Now this domineering fat man is correcting Ringer.
"Lin, do you know what you still need to improve?"
Ringer shook his head, he had been following the procedure of cheating glasses and was not quite aware of his problem.
"You've got decent speed, you've got a lot of vision on the pitch and you've got a talent for stopping the ball, but don't you think the way you pass on the pitch is too monotonous?"
The domineering fat man continued: "Smashing the ball on the court is the simplest and most practical trick, you are very good at smashing the ball, but you also need to combine your own technical characteristics to maximize the effect of smashing, otherwise those smart defenders will soon find a way to deal with you." ”
"One of the problems I find is that you don't seem to change your tempo very much while you're dribbling the ball. But based on your technical characteristics, you should also have a talent for rhythm changes in the movement of the ball, didn't your previous youth coach specifically help you with this ability? ”
Ringer shook his head, he had never experienced professional youth training at all, how could there be any youth coach.
"It seems that the level of football in Asia is really low, and it is not easy for you to achieve what you have now." This also caused Boggs to sigh slightly, and then said: "I will strengthen your training in this area in the future, train you to change the rhythm of the ball and move, sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration, slow acceleration, slow deceleration, skillful use of these things, which is more practical than you learn those fancy dribble moves, which is quite important for a striker." In many cases, a stop-and-go on the court can help you get rid of the defender, and the smash also needs to be slow to ensure stability, and if the dribble speed is too fast, the smash error will increase accordingly. ”
To be honest, Ringer has to admit that Atletico Madrid has a reputation as a training camp for strikers, which is really not boasting, and they have a lot of experience in the training of forwards.
Ringer benefited greatly from the domineering fat man, but after a few days, Ringer reaped the benefits of goalkeeper coach Pablo Viserón, who often dressed himself up coolly.
"You have a good view of the pitch, so you should use him to the advantage of it and try to look at the position of the opponent's goalkeeper with your eyes before each shot, whether the opponent is out of position, whether there is anything you can take advantage of."
"Even if the opponent doesn't make a mistake in positioning, you can make the best shot on goal."
'If the opposing goalkeeper is in a more in-line position, i.e. closer to the goal line, he will have more reaction time to shoot, but his save coverage will change, so you should choose a shot with a more tricky angle and attack where he can't cover.
"If the opponent is on the outside and far from the goal line, then he can cover more area with his saves, but the opponent will have less time to react to the shot, so you should choose to shoot hard and give him less time to react."
Today, Ringer learned from his strength and conditioning coach Ogart how to make better use of his energy and spend less energy to cover longer distances.
Atletico Madrid trained in the small town of San Rafael for more than half a month, during which time they played warm-up matches against two La Liga teams.
Due to the weakness of the opponent, Atletico Madrid won easily, 42 in one game, 20 in one game, Simeone's main purpose is to run in the lineup.
Ringer scored a goal in the first game and an assist in the second, and his performance was passable.
During this period, the transfer news in European football was still refreshing, and there was also an incident in which the famous Higuain got lost in the Arsenal medical room.
After Ringer joined Atletico Madrid, Arsenal's goal became to snatch Higuain, and Real Madrid was also happy to sell Higuain because they had to raise money to buy Bale.
In this context, Arsenal offered 30 million euros to Real Madrid, Real Madrid has agreed, and Arsenal has also actively contacted Higuain, Higuain has stated that Arsenal is a great giant, willing to play.
The British media is also hyping that Arsenal is finally going to buy stars, the Gunners finally have hope, and the British tabloids are actively calculating when Higuain will go to London for a medical examination, and swear to guarantee that Higuain will definitely join Arsenal.
At this moment, Napoli suddenly offered Real Madrid 40 million euros to compete for Higuain, and Real Madrid repented and asked Arsenal to increase the price, but Arsenal did not want to increase.
Selling players to a higher bidder is a common occurrence in football.
At this time, Higuain also asked Real Madrid to give him 48 hours to consider, and the little smoking gun was actually more willing to go to Arsenal at first, and this 48-hour time was used to consider Arsenal and urge Arsenal to quickly increase the offer.
But Arsenal has not moved, and soon 48 hours passed, Napoli quickly completed the transfer, and the British media swore that they would come to London for a medical examination tomorrow, so they went to Napoli to make their home debut.
Arsenal also have a wide fan base in China, and there are a lot of jokers on the Internet, all kinds of mocking Gunners, the most famous being the following:
Higuain is in the Arsenal physical examination room, and after walking more than ten miles, he will get a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light. Drop off the boat and enter from the mouth. At the beginning, it is extremely narrow, and only then can it be passed. After walking dozens of steps, he suddenly became enlightened and arrived in Naples.
Of course, the imaginative fans also made up a famous story about the tree, which is even more enjoyable.
