Vol 4 Chapter 1293: Rookie combination

The camp day was a blessing.
After the players returned to the team, they went directly to the medical room for a medical examination. The results were obvious. Most of the players, including Marcelo, did not meet the standard, but this is also a normal phenomenon.
In fact, when the summer training camp started, there were always a handful of people who achieved the standard of physical fitness, and most of them did not meet the standard.
Of course, Marcelo's fat head is very rare.
The two training sessions on the first day were mainly about recovery and adjustment. The mentality of the coaching staff and players was relatively easy. Everyone talked and laughed, and everyone in the unknown thought that after Zidane took office, he would Advocating to kick the gorgeous technical flow, the mood is also particularly relaxed and happy, as everyone knows, but waiting for them is a nightmare.
The real devil training starts on the next day.
All players have heard more or less about the team ’s focus on physical fitness in the new season, because last season the team had run short due to physical fitness, and many games fell on physical fitness. Also understandable.
But even with psychological preparation, when they came to Valdebebas and saw the team's physical training plan, everyone was still stunned.
Are you sure this is physical training? Not intentionally abused?
Who can bear such high-intensity training?
For a while, the training hadn't started yet, and there was already public resentment in the locker room.
Yang Yang, Ramos and Marcelo have reached consensus in advance, so they quickly came to appease their teammates and let the locker room quickly reach a consensus that the team must practice hard.
The ability to defend the Triple Crown last season was successful, but the strength is part of it, but in fact, many games were won by Yang Yang playing alone. This is very unreliable. If Yang Yang does not perform well, Real Madrid Finished immediately.
Therefore, the team must practice hard, practice hard, grasp physical fitness, and reduce injuries.
And after the locker room reached consensus, the real devil training also began.
...
Pintus divided the team's training into different groups. Each group has targeted training tasks and different training contents. From jumping to balance, it covers all aspects of physical fitness training. It is very comprehensive. Only there is no ball training.
This is quite different from Real Madrid's previous training.
But if it's just that, then it's okay. What really kills you is that after each group of Pintus training is completed, you have to run a half-hour running training. Remember, it is after each group of training.
You know, after a group of training, Real Madrid players are not overwhelmed, but they are really tired, because both Zidane and the coaching staff require players to invest 100% in training.
Imagine that after 100% of the training program, you have to run for another half an hour. Doesn't this mean killing people?
It can be seen how high the intensity of this training is.
In addition to regular training, Pintus also introduced a lot of strength training in training, such as weight training and other equipment training, which is miserable for many Real Madrid players, because technical players never like it Gym.
Almost on the first day of training, Real Madrid players were afraid of this devil training, and even questioned it.
Hazard withdrew from the court in only half an hour of training in the morning. He worried that such high-intensity training would cause injuries to him, but the team doctors who had been waiting on the sidelines immediately tested him in less than five minutes. He was rushed back to the court.
The Belgian winger is also notoriously lazy. He has never liked such high-intensity physical training.
As soon as the training session ended that morning, all players protested around Yang Yang, Ramos and Marcelo, believing that such training would be fatal.
"Practice this way, how can we still have the energy to compete?"
"That's right, it's too strong."
"Although I also support the team to practice hard, but the intensity is too ridiculous?"
"Compared to this dead bald head, Ancelotti's so-called special forces training is pediatric."
"Oh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it."
Yang Yang and Ramos are also well prepared. After hearing a complaint from their teammates, they did not refute it, nor did they maintain any words from the coaching staff, but were conducting enlightenment to allow them to vent their emotions, and more still appeased .
The relative intensity of the training session in the afternoon was lighter, the players were all relieved, and there was more ball training, but after half a hour of running after the training session, they still have to continue.
This made Real Madrid spit one after another. It is said that Pintus was a track and field coach as early as possible!
Whether it's vomiting, protesting, or complaining, the training must continue.
...
During Real Madrid's time in Madrid, although it was still training twice a day, the training intensity was extremely high, and the players were tortured and miserable. There were even several young players who were overwhelmed and could not help crying on the training ground.
What is surprising is that because the coaching staff and the medical team are well prepared, the entire training cycle is down. Although the training intensity is extremely high, no one player was injured because of this. This has to be said to be a major accident.
When the team was preparing to go to Australia, many players turned back and reflected on the results of this period of devil training. The results made them very surprised. Marcelo and Hazard were originally fat, but now both Thin is back, even more standard than ever.
As the body gradually adapted to this high-intensity training, the pressure on the players was not so great, and gradually began to understand.
But what really convinces Real Madrid players is Pintus' words and deeds.
He is completely different from other physical coaches in the past, he is to teach in the field.
For example, he asked Ramos to skip rope, but after watching it for a while, he felt that Ramos's rope skipping method was not good.
And running.
It is a hard rule for Pintus to run for half an hour after the end of each training, but do n’t think that only Real Madrid players are running, Pintus also runs with the team, and each time they stick to the end, the results It's still outstanding.
In addition, there are strength equipment training in the gym. The Italians also follow the team and even teach hands-on.
Gradually, Real Madrid players also felt the benefits of Pintus training, especially with the increase in daily communication and contact, the relationship between the players and him is getting better and more convinced.
Among the first team players of Real Madrid, the oldest is in their early thirties, and the youngest is in their early twenties. But Pintus is already 53 years old. A 53-year-old middle-aged man can train with professional players like this , How admirable is this?
If Pintus is just a blind request, but he can't do it, then the player must not be convinced. Now he has high requirements, but he can do it himself. What else can the player say?
Do you have to admit that you are not as good as an old man in his fifties?
Yang Yang, Ramos, and Marcelo also played a role in this period of time, soothing the mood in the locker room, although the team complained, at least everyone is doing their best in training, dare not There is no slack.
However, ultra-high-intensity training also brings disadvantages.
...
A week after the training, Real Madrid went to Melbourne, Australia for the first warm-up match at the beginning of the season.
This is the first warm-up match of the International Champions Cup, against Roma in Serie A.
The former Real Madrid right-back Maicon is currently playing for this Rome, and the atmosphere of both sides before the game is also very good.
The game was very bland. Real Madrid is still in the devil training of Pintus. The players have no state at all, and even the body performance is so bad that they are completely passively beaten in the game and can only rely on defense to stabilize their positions.
During the halftime break, the team made 11 substitutions, which can be said to replace the entire team, but the performance was still very bad.
This is within the expectations of Real Madrid's coaching staff, because the players are seriously not in the state.
Not only this warm-up match tonight, Real Madrid will have a very good performance in the next few warm-up matches.
In the end, the two sides drew zero to zero and directly entered the penalty shootout, while Real Madrid lost six to seven.
...
While in Australia, Real Madrid's devil training continued.
Pintus' training plan covers the entire season, and the pre-season training also covers the entire pre-season training, and even includes the arrangement and layout of the warm-up match.
After losing to Rome, Real Madrid ushered in the second game of the International Champions Cup, the opponent is the Premier League Manchester City.
In this game, Real Madrid still perform very poorly, but they can't stand Manchester City. The performance is also very bad. The two teams met in the trough. In the end, Real Madrid relied on Isco's excellent performance. Beat Manchester City.
However, after the game, most of the media were still dissatisfied with Real Madrid ’s performance, because the overall performance of the team was too low, the Catalan media daily sports newspaper close to Barcelona even broke the news, Real Madrid this summer all kinds The measures have proved that this team has given up for 15 to 16 seasons in advance.
"This season is purely for Yang Yang and Zidane to practice, so Real Madrid did not make any major moves in the transfer market, including actively showing Real Madrid Pogba did not take any action, which is very different from previous years. . "
"Not only that, looking at Real Madrid ’s performance in the two preseason games, although it is a win and a draw, but the content is terrible, there is no point in defending the three crowns, and there is no strong dominance during Ancelotti ’s coaching. . "
Daily Sports News believes that Barcelona has shown a strong aggressiveness and competition in the new season compared to Real Madrid.
"Louis Enrique's team has reached a critical moment. All of them must fight for their honor and jerseys on their own, and vow to break Real Madrid's of La Liga and the Champions League."
"A rookie combination like Zidane and Yang Yang is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Barcelona!"
