I became the king of short track speed skating in figure skating, section 125
Because they knew the purpose of these visitors at the scene, the players of the Chinese national team who were training on the scene were more or less nervous, and only Mu Yuansheng, who had participated in many international competitions, was relatively familiar with this situation.
Pei Jing also knew that after Zhang Dongcheng said the previous words to these players in the car, there should be many inexperienced players who will feel a little awkward - this is actually Zhang Dongcheng's psychological tactics, he doesn't need these young players of the Huaguo team to play by themselves, as long as these players are nervous, they basically achieve the goal of 'hiding clumsiness'.
As for the training part, Pei Jing didn't deliberately hide anything, and trained how he should train every day - the teams of various countries basically mean the same, after all, just looking at your daily content of a training session, I don't know your complete training plan, in fact, the reference effect is not great.
Under the arrangement of Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng, the normal training was successfully completed, and the players of the Huaguo team basically started to move in this one-hour time, and gradually adapted to the ice surface of Budapest.
At 3 o'clock, the coaches and players of the Huaguo team did not delay any longer, and under the instructions of the staff, they all retreated from the ice in an orderly manner.
The 10-minute interval between the ice training of each national team is to give the organizer ice surface of the ice rink to repair the ice - after all, after a full 1 hour of training for the national team, it should be sliding, even if each team tries to disassemble the ice surface of the men's and women's teams and then separate them, but there are always so many people who have skated on the ice at high intensity, and it should be repaired properly.
After Su Liang and the others got off the ice, they didn't go far for the first time, and after Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng glanced at each other, they all beckoned Su Liang to stay.
The purpose of leaving Su Liang is very simple - Li Yonghe and Choi Changxi in South Korea can't wait to nail their eyes to Su Liang's body in just an hour, and the Huaguo team wants to leave a player to follow the coaching staff to visit the follow-up training of the Canadian team and the South Korean team, of course, to keep Su Liang.
After hearing Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng's explanation, Su Liang nodded to show that he understood, and then quickly returned to the backcourt lounge to take off his skates and change into skating clothes, and after changing into sportswear and shoes, Su Liang returned to the side of the arena.
At this time, the youth team players of the Canadian team have also arrived on the field.
Compared with the players of the Chinese team, the players of the Canadian team look more than 1.8 meters, and there are also taller players, with long hands and long feet, and they know that their explosiveness and strength are very strong at a glance.
These players on the ice, coupled with the skate skates on their feet, basically all of them are running for more than 1.9 meters, and now more than half a year has passed, Su Liang, who will be 1.7 meters old, looks at these Canadian men's team players on the sidelines, and feels like he has come to the country of giants.
Even if he was asked to put on his skates and stand with these guys on the field, it would not be easy for these players to see him without looking down.
Tired.
Su Liang silently looked at this group of tall people, and hypnotized himself silently in his heart - medium body is the most suitable body condition for short track speed skating.
Besides, he can grow to 1.8 meters in the future, but he is young now.
After swallowing this inexplicable height resentment in his heart, Su Liang looked up again and found a familiar figure on the ice.
Canada's Eliezer Lepage.
This is a Canadian legend who has suffered serious injuries twice, but returned to action after recovery, winning two silver medals in the men's 1500m for Canada.
After Eliezer retired, he also became a coach of short track speed skating, and also coached the Chinese national team, and he was also one of the foreign coaches that Su Liang had contacted later.
I didn't expect that after the crossing, I would still have this kind of experience - competing with my former coach on the field.
Thinking of this, Su Liang smiled rarely.
He still remembers that when Eliezer was his coach, he also said with regret: "It's a pity that I didn't compete with you in the same era." β
Now, isn't this opportunity to compete?
Chapter 112
"Huh? Xiaoliang, does the Canadian team have players you know? β
Pei Jing was slightly surprised when he heard Su Liang call Eliezer's name.
After all, it is not a Canadian star on the training ground, but only a Canadian teenager, and in today's era when online consulting is not so developed, it is not easy for the national team to collect information on opponents.
After all, the world-class junior player event is the World Youth Championships, and this World Youth Championships is Eliezer's first time on the international stage, and the national team does not have much information about Eliezer here, only that his strength is good, and he has won many junior championships in Canada, and he also has a good performance in Canadian all-age events.
As for the more detailed information about Eliezer, the national team did not collect it here.
Su Liang blinked and said 'um': "I happened to see the news of Eliezer on the Internet before. β
Pei Jing was even more surprised: "Hasn't there been any domestic media coverage of Eliezer Lepage?" Which media still has the effort to pay attention to overseas players? β
Many media, domestic short track speed skaters have not recognized it, which makes Pei Jing curious.
Su Liang was silent: "Hmm, I saw it from overseas news." β
Pei Jing: ???
In this era, the Internet is not very restrictive, and it is indeed not difficult to access overseas news, but for the vast majority of people, it is actually the level of English and the understanding of overseas websites.
When Pei Jing heard Su Liang say this, although he felt a little strange and surprised, he didn't have any special suspicions.
Su Liang and Mu Yuansheng are two famous scholars in the national team, the English level of these two, it should be no problem to look at overseas news, Pei Jing is at most just emotional, the national team's data collection work is still not in place, Su Liang can know EliezellePage on the Internet in his spare time, and the staff of the data collection team still have to urge them to work harder.
At this time, several staff members of the short track speed skating national team data collection team who were far away in China looked at each other head-on-the-headβwhat happened? Are the windows not closed tightly enough? They actually sneezed together.
Su Liang didn't know what Pei Jing was muttering to the staff of the data collection team, and after he fooled Pei Jing, he began to observe Eliezer on the ice.
In the era when Su Liang met Eliezer, Eliezer was already a veteran who became famous and retired as a coach, he didn't look like some bearded and rugged Canadian, his blonde hair was always neatly combed, he wore formal clothes every day, and he spoke gently and politely, but he didn't look like a coach in a sports competition.
Later in Eliezer's career, he was called a gentleman on the ice, describing his calm posture on the ice and his habit of rarely colliding with opponents.
In fact, Eliezer told him that in the early part of his career, he was also a very impulsive player on the ice, but because he had two serious injuries, the doctor who treated him at the time said, 'If you have a third time, you will not only lose your career, but even your health for the rest of your life'.
Because of the doctor's stern warning, Eliezer had to make up his mind to adjust his skating style, and because of the impact of his previous two injuries, his body was more susceptible to injury than the average athlete, perhaps just a normal fall could have cost him two or three World Cup matches.
It is for these reasons that he has become more and more cautious in his skating on the ice.
'Unfortunately, I'm just a gentleman who has to be steady. β
At that time, it had been nearly 20 years since Eliezer's early career, and Su Liang had searched for Eliezer's early game videos on the Internet, but the information was seriously missing, and he only saw Eliezer representing Canada in the Winter Olympics and winning the silver medal for the first time.
Compared with the later Eliezer, it is indeed much more reckless.
And the teenager Eliezer who is sliding on the ice in front of him is more youthful and reckless than the one Eliezer that Su Liang watched when Eliezer won silver at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.
Obviously has the face of a European and American boy, but he glides on the ice recklessly like a rampage brown bear.
After observing for a while, Pei Jing looked in Eliezer's direction and smiled: "No wonder the information collectors are reckless in the remarks behind Eliezer's name. β
It's reckless enough, it looks like Sun Ruixiang's plus version on the ice, with a large range of movements, good physical fitness, rough foundation, and unstable inner tract, but the strength and explosiveness are excellent, and the speed on the ice is fierce enough.
After Su Liang watched Eliezer's performance, countless ellipses were hidden under his seemingly silent expression.
Although he knew that Eliezer's style in the early part of his career should be a huge gap with his style at the end of his career, he still didn't expect that Eliezer would be an enlarged version of Erxiang on the ice when he was young.
β¦β¦ You must know that Eliezer was later able to work as a technical foreign coach in the Chinese national team, and he has a deep understanding of the skills and training of short track speed skating.
οΌοΌ
In short, compared to now, it is really a world of difference.
Oh.
Speaking of which.
Erxiang also served as his physical fitness coach for a while - it was really Sun Erxiang who now calls him the boss every day, and that appearance of a living treasure makes it difficult for Su Liang to think of the coach version of Sun Erxiang who blew through the cowhide but still has a face.
The Canadian team's one-hour adaptation training also ended quickly, and the player who stayed with the coach of the Canadian team was not Eliezelle Page, but another player that Su Liang felt slightly familiar but not impressed.
But it is clear that the core player of the current Canadian team is not Eliezer for the time being, but this player who has shown consistent quality in the process of adaptation training just now.
When Eliezer left the field, Su Liang's eyes followed him and looked over twice, and saw Eliezer and his teammates walking shoulder to shoulder.
Pei Jing on the side saw Su Liang's attentive gaze and smiled: "You are very interested in that Eliezelle Page?" β
Su Liang nodded without hesitation: "He is very strong." β
Pei Jing originally just smiled and asked casually, but he didn't expect Su Liang to give him this answer.
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng on the side became a little serious.
Although Su Liang is not a coach, players sometimes have sharper moments than coaches, especially for a talented player of Su Liang's level, for the same genius opponent, the sense of smell is often very sensitive.
Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng glanced at each other silently, and they both decided to collect more information about this EliezelePage player after going back today, even if it was temporary, and they were more familiar with it.
Wait for more observation after the start of the game, if the strength is indeed outstanding, then the sooner you start collecting information about such an excellent opponent, the better.
***
In the gap between Su Liang, Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng chatting, the staff at the venue once again completed the work of mending the ice and trimming the ice surface, and when a player appeared again, it was a member of the South Korean national team.
The South Korean national team, this time, the men's and women's teams had a total of 12 players present, including 10 official players and 2 alternate players.
When all the South Korean athletes appeared, Su Liang also found out here - Gao Jaeyong, who also came to China to participate in the practice invitational tournament with Choi Eun-hee, was also present, but Gao Jae-yong should not have won the opportunity to participate in the 1500-meter individual event, and arrived as an alternate.
On the ice, the South Korean men's team and the women's team players appeared in batches to adapt to the ice, and when the players of the men's team appeared, it can be seen that Choi Chang-hee, Ko Jae-yong, Kim Hyun-deok and Kang Yeon-ha will sweep their eyes to the direction of Su Liang of the Huaguo team from time to time.
The coaches of other national teams and players also noticed the attitude of these players in South Korea.
Quite a few people were talking privately in low voices.
"South Koreans are paying attention to ...... Is that the player from the Chinese team? β
"Oh, I remember him, Su Liang! He performed very well in the World Cup Huaguo Jingshi competition, second only to Samuel Adams, and won the silver medal in the 1500m at the Beijing World Cup - the youngest World Cup medalist in history, a great young athlete! β
"Aha, it's him, I always don't recognize the appearance of the Chinese player, but he looks too young, and Asians always look so young."
All kinds of discussions sounded around, but Su Liang didn't mind, and kept a calm expression from beginning to end looking at the ice in front of him.
After briefly discussing Su Liang, the coaches from various countries on the side turned their attention to the training in South Korea again, and Zhang Dongcheng and Pei Jing's expressions were already a little dignified at this time.
If nothing else, it is what foreign coach Eric said at the beginning as "the latest technology in South Korea", but in fact, it is a manifestation of lower body posture and more agility in sliding inside and outside.
The previous few fights may have been due to the fact that South Korea was still figuring out their own skills, so the performance was not particularly distinct, but when all the South Korean players were using the same technique, it was even clearer.
Many people around were amazed, but after Su Liang saw the training and gliding performance of the South Korean team in front of him, if someone looked closely, they would find that the expression on Su Liang's face was obviously not concerned.
He remembered a World Youth Championship that his father had taken him to when he was still healthy, and he was also present at the time, and he heard his father complain that these little sticks in South Korea are not only conceited but also have stiff brains.
That's how they trained before the World Junior Championships 10 years ago, and that's how they are still doing 10 years later.
No matter how awesome your South Korean technology is, it hasn't changed for ten years? Sooner or later, it will be over.
Su Liang didn't know if the level of the South Korean sticks had collapsed after he crossed over, but now that he was at the pre-competition training site of the 2003 World Youth Championships, he couldn't help but want to agree with what his father said later - South Korea's training methods were almost exactly the same as what he saw more than ten years later.
But no matter how complacent it is, it will be South Korea later.
As for the South Korean team that uses new technology, it will indeed be a big shock to the other teams.
Except, of course, Su Liang.
Chapter 113
After the day of acclimatisation, teams from all over the world returned to their hotels to allow the athletes to rest early in preparation for the next day's 1500m event.
After returning to the hotel where they stayed, Zhang Dongcheng and Pei Jing separately called Su Liang and Yao Yao of the women's team to six individual competitors in the 1500 meters, and chatted with them about the expected competition the next day.
