Before the fog had completely cleared in the early morning, the sound of the arrival of the players at the Melwood training base was already ringing.

The security team received a notice from the coaching staff last night, and eight security guards were waiting at the gate of Melwood at half past six in the morning, all of them rubbing their hands together to warm up Liverpool's cold morning, complaining about the strange rules of the new coach.

However, when they heard that the new manager had arrived earlier than them, they were speechless.

"People receive an annual salary of nearly 10 million euros, and it will be 6 o'clock, and we will be 6 o'clock, what is it?"

The words of the security captain were immediately recognized by the security team, all of them are Liverpool fans, and they are naturally willing to contribute to the revival of the club.

As soon as 6:30 o'clock, I saw that the players arrived at the Melwood training base one after another, some of them had just joined the team and had not yet found a place to live, and the players who were still living in the hotel for the time being came to the hotel, got off the car at the door, and rushed into the training base one by one.

Starting today, Melwood is going to be lively again!

Hyypia, Steven Gerrard and Carragher all arrived in the dressing room early, changed their clothes and waited for their team-mates to arrive.

These teammates have all been to the locker room before, and they have all selected their own wardrobes under the arrangement of the three of them, and the club staff has already prepared the players' things and put them in their seats, and the players come to the locker room, as long as they change their clothes and can go to training.

After the reorganized team, everyone is still very new for the time being, that's for sure, and these people are from all over the world, and some people don't even understand the language, so it is more troublesome to communicate, and often can only be done with the help of international gestures.

After talking to Yang Cheng before, the three of Hyypia patiently helped their teammates, and when everyone was ready, they led everyone out of the locker room and came to the green field in front of this brand-new training building.

Yang Cheng and Ian Rush stood here waiting, while Paul Byer led the coaching staff and staff to set up the equipment and props needed for today's training session, and also divided the training area by the way.

"Hello everyone and welcome to Liverpool!" Yang Cheng smiled and swept over the people present, "I'm Yang Cheng!" ”

The players below all raised their heads and looked at Yang Cheng, "Good morning, boss!" ”

Yang Cheng was quite satisfied with the neat shouts of the players, and nodded, "The new season is about to start, I believe everyone is full of expectations for the new season, and so am I, but before that, we must make all preparations for the new season, because our goals for the new season will be very difficult." ”

After all the players heard this, they suddenly became serious.

"When you walk through the door of Melwood, you must have seen the club crest on the halfpipe and then the crest on your chest, this is a different team, he has a glorious and dazzling past, only now, he is sinking, he is waiting for you to recreate it."

Every time Yang Cheng said a word, he had to stop for a while, because there were some players on the scene who couldn't understand English, so there was also a translator, and he had to give the translator time to translate to the players to know what he thought.

Of course, the vast majority of players understand it.

'I hope we can do well in the new season because I didn't come to the Premier League to get a salary, not to get a job, I'm sure all of you are like me, we're here to win, to win the title, right?'

"Yes!" This time, everyone knew how to shout.

"Let's go eat first, then you can rest, wait at the gym in an hour, don't be late!" Yang Cheng's last sentence was obviously a little intimidating.

His training style has long been spread by the media, everyone present has understood Yang Cheng's temperament, and they all know that he hates people being late for training the most, so they don't dare to be careless, even Davis, the biggest name in the team, still has to hold his tail in front of Yang Cheng.

The so-called gym after an hour, that is relative to Yang Cheng, as players, they must come to the scene in advance, because they still have to warm up, as soon as Yang Cheng arrives, it is immediately training. When they arrived at the gym one by one, they found Chris Schmidt and Tim Hank already waiting here.

"Everyone come here, in the first training session today, we will be here to guide everyone to warm up!" Tim Hank clapped his hands vigorously and called all the players over.

Yang Cheng's training session is very intense, which everyone knows, and even when he was at Inter Milan, Ronaldo once joked to the media, "The training session of the head and a Serie A game, I will not hesitate to choose the latter!" ”

From these words, it is not difficult to see the intensity of Yang Cheng's training session.

But corresponding to the intensity, Yang Cheng's preparation for the details of the warm-up before training, and even the impact of each warm-up action on the next training, requires the players to meticulously warm up to any part of the body.

"You'd better warm up your whole body, from your toes to the top of your head, or you'll get hurt!" Tim Hank said with a smile that if he practiced three times a day, the first two training sessions were jointly formulated by him and Yang Cheng, Chris Schmidt, and Paul Beyer, and he knew best what the intensity was. The two dozen or so players in attendance were warming up under the guidance of Tim Hank and Chris Schmidt, and by the time they had warmed up as the coaches had requested, they found themselves all sweating and soaking wet.

Just the warm-up is already like this, how terrifying should the training intensity be in a minute?

In fact, the equipment training in the gym is not simply to blindly let all the players do the same thing, but to classify and let the players in different positions carry out targeted training, for example, the central defender has a set of gym training for the central defender, the forward has a striker, and even the training plan of Drogba and Barosh is also different.

When they enter the gym, each person will be given a gym training plan with their name written on it, which lists some of the benefits of equipment training, as well as what abilities the players themselves maintain, as well as advice for the players, where they want to work harder, etc.

A gym training plan is enough for Liverpool to deeply feel the fineness of Yang Cheng's preparation, which also reminds them that when joining the team and returning to the team, every player is required to fill out an answer sheet detailed to how many times he has sex with his wife and girlfriend within a week, as well as a detailed physical examination report.

At first, they were skeptical of these questionnaires and medical examinations, but now they seem to be useful.

Not to mention the incredible number of players who have played in the British Isles, even other players on the continent have never experienced such an exhaustive training program.

In the past, they knew from newspapers and magazines that Yang Cheng's training was rigorous, but now that they have experienced it firsthand, they have realized how unrigorous they imagined it to be before.

Yang Cheng came to the gym almost at the time point, and he first analyzed the usefulness of the training plan with the players.

"What I want to say is that the league is a long journey, especially in the Premier League, there is no winter break, it is very difficult, but every game is very important, which requires us to arrange physical mediation in daily training, and we must use scientific and reasonable training to let each of you reach the peak state at a critical moment."

The player's body is a cycle, and through reasonable targeted training, the player can reach the best state of body and state at critical moments, so as to show better combat effectiveness in the game, so Yang Cheng will be meticulous in training to the extreme, and the whole training session is arranged densely and very compactly.

…………

…………

The gym training lasted 90 minutes, after which the players could rest and showed up at the training ground at 10:45 for a second training session, physical training.

Yang Cheng's physical training is still ball training, but it is more about passing and sprinting, or continuing to dash with the ball, etc.

"Experience it more in training, the 20-meter sprint run is always used repeatedly in the game, you have to use it when counterattacking and returning to defense, and the passer should also observe your teammates well, their speed, explosiveness, sprinting habits, etc., you have to keep in mind, because you have to form a tacit understanding with your teammates, these are the key!" "A fast-paced dash that lasted 30 seconds, didn't it look like we were playing an attack in the game? You have to get used to this in every training session, so that when you get to the game, you will find that everything in the original competition, we have done it countless times in training, and it will be very easy. ”

"Jogging is very simple, but jogging in football is a science, because it can help you recover better, so I arrange a 30-second jog after 30 seconds of fast-paced lunging, just to let everyone learn how to rest during the game, remember, breathing, concentration, spirit, pace, these must be coordinated."

The whole Melwood training ground is full of Yang Cheng's shouts and explanations, he is not a person who likes to force indoctrination, he hopes that every player can clearly understand what every training session he does is useful and why he is doing it, because only then will they be more motivated.

On the contrary, if you don't tell them why they should jog after a fast-paced lunge, they will wonder, they will doubt, they will feel that the training is dispensable, so it will be greatly discounted, and in the end it will not be effective.

But if they understand, ah, it helps them adapt to the rhythm of the game and help them recover better in the game, and they will do it meticulously.

After the whole 90-minute training session, everything was carried out in an orderly manner, almost all of which were carried out in seconds, especially in the end, Yang Cheng conducted 15 minutes of group training, and conducted group training on a small field on the training ground.

Although the players have gone through intense 75 minutes of intense high-intensity training, their bodies are already a little unable to hold up, but Yang Cheng arranged group training at this time, just to familiarize the players with the way of playing when their physical fitness is close to the limit.

In order to avoid the group training losing its meaning, Yang Cheng specially arranged a reward and punishment strategy for this training.

"I've heard there's a game called bare butt in the Liverpool neighborhood, isn't it, Steven?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

After hearing this, Gerald immediately smiled and nodded, "That's right, boss, we have been playing since childhood. ”

"Yes, bare ass, the loser takes off his pants!" Carragher apparently played the game as well.

"Then I'll respect this tradition of Liverpool, whoever loses, takes off his pants, stands bare-bottomed in front of the goal line, and lets the opponent kick the ball and shoot." Yang Cheng said with a smile.

The players and coaching staff at the scene immediately laughed when they heard it, this punishment is indeed special enough.

"But don't think that the winner doesn't miss the kick, if the winner doesn't kick the loser's ass, then the winner has to kick the loser with his ass." Yang Cheng's words once again made the players present cheer, and they were all interested in this punishment.

"Boss, what if the loser doesn't hit the ball?" Hyypia asked.

Yang Cheng smiled, "Then keep kicking until you kick it!" ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and everyone looked very excited and ready to go to war.

Yang Cheng really didn't arrange this punishment on a whim, in fact, he had been thinking about this for a long time, and finally thought of this bare-ass game of Liverpool, which is not only a punishment, but also to improve the player's dedication, and to train their footwork, but the most important thing is that after this kind of game, the players will have a closer relationship with each other.

have all seen each other's big asses, will the relationship be estranged?

If you want to maintain the internal harmony of a team, it is not enough to say a few words and do a few things, nor can it be done by money and relationships, but it is necessary to accumulate from the usual little by little, and it is best to let the players maintain a good relationship in normal times, so that they will naturally tolerate each other, restrain each other, and become harmonious with each other.

After finishing the morning training, Yang Cheng returned to his office.

Chris Schmidt followed him, knocked on the door and walked in, casually handed a test report in his hand to Yang Cheng, and then looked at Yang Cheng with an almost monster look.

"Do you have clairvoyance?" Chris Schmidt asked, pretending to be mysterious.

"No, if there is, I can't possibly let you stand in front of me, that's disgusting!" Yang Cheng retorted with a smile. "Otherwise, how do you know that there will be a tumor on his testicles?" Chris Schmidt asked ambiguously.

Yang Cheng raised his head and saw the ambiguous eyes of this bastard, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Your brain is crooked!" ”

"It's so private, you can't possibly know!" Chris thinks.

If Yang Cheng hadn't pointed it out this time, it would have been impossible for the team doctor to conduct a detailed targeted scan on Robben, and the result was as Yang Cheng predicted, his testicles did have a problem.

"I've heard Arneson occasionally mention that Eindhoven had such concerns, so I reminded you of this, how do I know?" Yang Cheng laughed and scolded, but after thinking about it, he said again: "I will arrange for Robben's parents to come to Liverpool, and before that, it's best not to tell him." ”

Chris nodded, Robben is only 19 years old, too young to be afraid, and there is an unspoken rule in European football, if a player has a physical problem, the first thing the team doctor wants to notify is the head coach, and it must be arranged according to the head coach's requirements.

But Yang Cheng was thinking about a different question.

Robben was a complete first two years of his career, rarely plagued by injuries, even in his first season with PSV Eindhoven, until he got testicular cancer, which is said to have left a deep shadow at the time.

It is understandable that a 19-year-old boy will be afraid of anyone when he faces the threat of death that he may die because of it.

According to Robben's own later statement, he began to become a little too nervous about his body because of this, and everyone who plays football knows that the more nervous he is, the easier it is to get injured, which caused the later Robben the glass man.

Of course, there is definitely an element of Robben's technical style in it.

Yang Cheng felt that since testicular cancer was known in advance, especially after knowing that it was benign and had little to do with it, he should inform his parents and let them come to Liverpool to help him better tide over this difficulty, so as not to leave any shadow in his heart.

Chris Schmidt didn't know what Yang Cheng was thinking, he just felt that Yang Cheng did this because of his love for Robben, and the Dutchman's performance was indeed good, with excellent speed and technique.

"By the way, if you want to have surgery, it should be done locally in Liverpool, right?" Yang Cheng asked casually.

Chris Schsmith nodded, "Of course, the Royal University Hospital of Liverpool is famous, and they work with the University of Liverpool, whose medical school is very good, and they have won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. ”

"That's good, I hope to make Robben in time for the Asian trip at the end of the month!" Yang Cheng said.

Pre-season preparation is very important, and Yang Cheng hopes that Robben can have more opportunities to train with the team, so that he can better integrate into the team.

Chris Schmidt nodded, "Then I'll prepare!" ”

Yang Cheng sent him out, and then sat down in his seat, he began to study how to deal with this matter, it is best not to leave a shadow on Robben.

It's funny to be a head coach, to be like him, to be like a babysitter!

But he is really optimistic about Robben, if Peter Pan is not glass, it is really top-notch.

But it's not that Robben is so good, this kid still needs to be carved, especially his unique problem, Yang Cheng requires the most from the players is team cooperation, and he is confident that Robben will be trained into a Peter Pan.

There is also the Cristiano Ronaldo from Portugal, who speaks with a strong local accent, this kid also has to be beaten, otherwise his fancy technical style, if he doesn't become more concise, it will definitely make Liverpool's frontcourt attack a lot slower and become a big obstacle to the team's attack! . ）
