Chapter 934: Preparing for the Champions League

David Silva suddenly figured out a question that had been bothering him for a long time.

Why did he have to compete with glory?

I am an earthling, but Glory is not.

Earthlings fighting an alien monster?

Isn't this self-inflicted?

Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed.

He was a fool who had lost two precious months of his time in the most important period of the season, not keeping up with the pace of the team, and now he had to adapt from the ground up like a player who moved to Manchester City at the last second before the transfer window closed.

But this is not to blame on the head of the glory, he is just training according to his own habits, and he is going to compete with him......

And judging by his attitude towards himself, he probably doesn't know how he felt about him before......

Glory was stunned and then silent, and then suddenly laughed after silence, and he was confused.

Did David Silva take the wrong medicine today?

It was then that David Silva suddenly said, "I apologize to you, captain. ”

"Huh?" Glory is strange, why did David Silva apologize to himself?

"I used to have some opinions about you...... But now it's all gone! David Silva said sincerely.

Glory looked at his sincere face, and although he didn't know why, he decided to accept David Silva's apology.

"Ha, that's nothing." He scratched his head and smiled, and then he extended an invitation to David Silva: "Are you going to come and train together?" ”

David Silva shook his head repeatedly: "Forget it, forget it." I don't want to hurt myself again, so I'm going to stick to the training plan that the coach gave me...... You go ahead and practice your deciduous ball......"

Glory corrected him when he heard this: "It's not a fallen leaf ball, it's an elevator ball." ”

"Elevator ball?" David Silva was surprised that he didn't expect the free-kick to be called a different name.

"Yes, elevator balls." Glory nodded.

The name was given by José Alemani, and of course he had to respect others, so he followed the name he gave it, and this particular free kick was identified by Glory as the "elevator ball".

"Why is it called that?"

"Don't you think this free-kick goes straight up and down, a lot like a football elevator ride?" Glory asked rhetorically.

David Silva imagined it in his mind, then nodded, "Really." That's a cool name, Elevator Ball! Ha! You go ahead and leave me alone. ”

Glory nodded, reflexively returned to the training ground, and continued his elevator ball practice.

David Silva looked from the side and saw that the successful elevator ball was really as Glory said, straight up and down, and there was no left and right direction shift......

He also noticed that the Glory penalty kicks were very standard and consistent, with little to no change, and it seemed that this should be the trick to kicking elevator ball......

David Silva couldn't help but imagine in his mind that such a set of actions would have to be repeated more than 20,000 times......

Ask yourself, can he do it himself?

Silva shook his head, he felt he couldn't do it.

With such a simple and boring training, he couldn't stand it if he persisted thousands of times, let alone more than 20,000 times...... And it was only half a month of June, and now it's September, and he must have contacted him many times in between, maybe 50,000 times...... What a terrible person, terrifying to the point of being respectable......

David Silva can fully understand why a player like Andres Iniesta has such a high regard for glory that he would even be willing to be his brain-dead fan.

Just look at such a terrible amount of training, many people are afraid that their knees will be broken for him, right?

※※※

During the national team break, the team still has training, but the training content is mainly physical training and recovery training, and there is no tactical training.

In some cases, the first-team players who remain in the training base will play alongside players from the development squad and youth squad to keep them in shape.

David Silva has started training with the team.

After a month and a half of muscle strain, David Silva is finally able to train with the squad and is happy despite the fact that the first team is still a stumbling squad, with the majority of the squad coming from the youth squad.

He chose Manchester City, on the one hand, because the personal contract offered by Manchester City to him was simply difficult to refuse, and on the other hand, he naturally wanted to see with his own eyes how powerful the glory is.

Although he hasn't played a game at Manchester City now, he has seen how good Glory is.

To his surprise, Manchester City were also very good.

Not at all what he thought he was.

Manchester City's cousin Xiàn is excellent and steady, and since the start of the new season, they have not lost a game until now.

Whether it is the league, the Community Shield, or the Champions League qualifiers, they have never lost.

Manchester City maintained their winning streak.

It was a big surprise for him.

Now it seems that he has come to Manchester City in the right place......

You can not only earn a lot of money, but also earn honor.

Isn't that what a professional footballer aspires to?

Earn money and win championships.

It's just that in some teams you can make money but not win the championship, and in some teams you can get honors but the income is not too high. It's too hard to get into teams that can make a lot of money and get honors.

Manchester City now look to be a potential stock to look forward to.

David Silva is full of hope and anticipation for his future.

He wants to be able to play to the best of his ability, and then work with his new teammates to achieve the ultimate goal of winning the championship and making a lot of money.

Rafael Benitez has been doing the work of those two opponents since he decided to compete with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid in the Champions League.

The first is intelligence gathering, getting the footage of the last few games of both teams, and then studying the footage carefully.

In addition to this, it is necessary to collect news related to one qiē and two teams, from the news of the club's top management to the news of ordinary players.

Because it is very possible to deduce from these bits and pieces of news the current state of the team, or the current form of a particular player.

This will be useful information that he will be able to use in the game.

Just taking advantage of this time for the national team to play, the team's training tasks are not heavy, and he can study the opponent well, so as to make a plan for the team's targeted training.

By the time the players have finished their international games and returned to their clubs, it's time for the Champions League to be in full swing.

Benitez prioritized Bayern Munich's intelligence material.

Because the opponent in the first group stage is Bayern Munich.

The core of Bayern Munich's team must be Ribery, as the successor of glory, Ribery's personal ability is not to say, he is very good, and he is also the core of the French national team.

Ribery was hampered by injuries last season and played just 25 games, but still managed to score 17 goals and provide five assists.

He has made eight appearances in the Champions League, scoring four goals and providing two assists, which is also very prominent.

But with so many goals under his belt, Bayern Munich lost the league title and was taken by Magath to Wolfsburg to complete his revenge.

This season, Bayern Munich bought Arjen Robben from Real Madrid.

Franck Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben, one left and one right, make up Bayern Munich's new wings.

These two wingers, who are fast and agile with delicate feet, can pass and shoot, will pose a huge threat to City's backline.

In the middle, Bayern Munich poached Mario Gomez from Stuttgart, a tall, strong centre-forward with good heading skills and skills at the feet.

He can form an attacking fulcrum for Arjen Robben and Ribery up front, allowing the two to step in with confidence.

Rafa Benitez wasn't sure if City's backline would be able to defend against it.

Because Manchester City's defensive line is the biggest, but the problem is that the full-backs are mainly attacking, whether it is Leyton Barnes or Zabaleta, the defensive ability is not very outstanding. However, in terms of central defenders, neither Kompany nor Lucio are not bulky central defenders, although they are both very tall.

However, Lucio is old, and at the age of 31, he was in a decline due to injury last season, and his health was not as good as before.

That's a big question.

Luckily, there's also a Kompany.

Kompany may be tall, but he is relatively agile and not slow. He is a tall and flexible centre-back.

Now it seems that only one Kompany can count on it.

In short, studying Bayern Munich has made Benitez feel that this opponent is not easy to deal with. Although he told his assistants that Bayern Munich was not as strong as he thought.

But you can't really think that when you are preparing for the game, let's be honest, this Bayern Munich team is now stronger than Bayern Munich last season.

Robben's arrival lightened Ribery's burden, which might instead liberate Ribery.

Robben's experience at Real Madrid proved that this man was almost inexplicable as long as he was not injured, and in his final years at Real Madrid, Real Madrid's attack was basically all up to him.

After switching from the left to the right, Robben mastered a trick of cutting inside. His in-cut shot percentage is so high that it's hard to guard against.

So Benitez couldn't figure out why Florentino wanted Robben to leave Real Madrid......

The same goes for Sneijder, who proved what a good player he is at Manchester City, and Real Madrid are forcing people to leave.

It can only be said that being rich is really capricious......

Rong Guang doesn't care what tactics he will use when he plays Bayern Munich, and he is not a coach anyway, so this kind of problem is not his turn to consider.

He just needs to keep honing his body and be at his best against Bayern Munich.

Anyway, the manager puts him on the pitch and he's going to give it his all and beat the opponent.
