Chapter 893 The Man Who Dare To Reject The White House

On the opening day of Manchester City's summer training camp, Su Dong came to Carrington very early.

The new training base in Manchester city center has started construction, but the time for moving in is still far away.

As the captain of the team, there are many things that need to be dealt with, including helping new players integrate into the team.

At yesterday's party, Su Dong had already introduced new aid to the old players, but this was just the beginning, and there was still a lot of work to be done, especially the management of the locker room.

There is another very important thing on the first day of the training camp, and that is the physical examination.

This is actually the most troublesome thing for all teams and all coaches.

After a season, players need time to relax, which is understandable, but if you relax too much, it is quite troublesome, especially if some players are not self-disciplined, their weight will soar immediately, and it will even seriously affect the game and state.

Therefore, the physical examination on each opening day is extremely important.

Su Dong didn't need to worry the least, because even during the holidays, he would still insist on training every day.

Although during this period of time, he has been traveling around the country, sometimes even living in a homestay in a remote area, but this does not prevent him from persisting in training, such as running on mountain roads for a period of time.

After persisting for a long time, his physical condition has remained pretty good.

But the upcoming summer camp is the real trouble.

"For a period of time last season, his state declined significantly. After research and discussion, we decided to adjust the training programs and plans, especially during the summer training period, which is extremely important."

Nuno Cruz is the head of Sudong's personal coaching team and a colleague of Sudong's partner for many years. He has been monitoring Sudong's body, state and court performance for a long time, and has gathered a complete set of data and conducted research on these data.

He has always believed that it is possible to understand the player's sports performance through these data.

Facts have also proved that in the current European football, more and more teams have begun to pay attention to this aspect, and many universities are also investing in research and teaching. For example, Loughborough University has specially developed a sports analysis major.

Guardiola's team, including Torrent, have great respect for Nuno Cruz's professionalism.

After all, Su Dong's performance over the years is obvious to all. Nuno Cruz can almost be said to have driven the rise of a sports science field alone, which also makes the professional circle respect him very much.

When Nuno Cruz, Vito Scala and others communicated with the Manchester City coaching staff and studied the summer training plan, Su Dong had already completed the physical examination process of the coaching staff and concluded that he was very healthy.

All indicators are excellent and very satisfying.

"Needless to say, I guess you haven't really relaxed this summer vacation." Nuno Cruz felt helpless when he got the report.

He didn't know whether it was lucky or unlucky to meet a boss like Su Dong.

Fortunately, Su Dong can always execute his plan perfectly, but unfortunately, when he meets such a player, it is difficult for him not to work hard.

This is not the feeling of Nuno Cruz alone, but the feeling of the personal coaching team and even many players in the Manchester City team.

He is like a whip, whipping everyone around him non-stop, making everyone like him, working hard to move forward and not daring to slack off. This is one of the reasons why many players perform better when they play next to Su Dong.

"I'm going to be 27 soon. I think we still need to properly control our weight and adjust the way we play," Nuno Cruz advised.

"During the rest period, I took the time to go to Milan, visited many big names in the Milan laboratory, and learned a lot about their research results, including some of Shevchenko and Kaka's situation in Milan, which is worthy of our vigilance."

Both Shevchenko and Kaka are at a sensitive age. Due to injuries and transfers, their careers have plummeted. This is actually worth studying and Su Dong should be vigilant, because this is not an isolated case.

Studies have shown that after the age of 26, the player's body begins to decline.

In other words, the player's body reached its peak at the age of 26, and it is difficult to maintain this peak after that. The difference is only the speed of decline.

Then during this period of time, players must also adjust their playing style according to their physical conditions.

Manchester City built the team with Su Dong as the core, and this summer's signings are highlighting this.

The arrival of Aguero is to reduce the pressure on Su Dong in the game, so that he will not play in some unnecessary games.

The arrival of Hazard and Douglas Costa is to improve the wing, and the purpose is to reduce the pressure on Sudong.

Coach Guardiola is actively adjusting his tactics and wants to adopt a three-four-three tactic. The purpose is to reduce the pressure on the center forward and let the wingers and midfielders take on more tasks.

Su Dong's task is to maintain good health, successfully complete the transformation, and prolong his career.

According to Begiristan, Manchester City signed Su Dong at a sky-high price, not just for two or three years, but hoping that Su Dong can play in Manchester City until he is 35 years old, or even directly until he retires.

Su Dong has an advantage, that is, he respects professionals very much.

He believed in Nuno Cruz's professionalism.

……

Other players also came to Carrington one after another.

As the captain, Su Dong, together with the coaching staff, arranged for the players to go to the medical room for physical examination one after another.

This is actually a relatively simple test. If any injuries or other problems are found in the players, they will be further checked in detail, or they will go directly to the hospital for more in-depth tests.

Through the physical examination of the team doctor, the physical condition of all players is basically clear at a glance.

Like Marcelo, he obviously indulged during this period of time, and his weight is a bit over the standard.

What's even more ridiculous is that this guy and David Luiz are so close, they even made an appointment to have their hair done together during the America's Cup, and they all had afro haircuts.

Now there is joy.

Nima, seeing these two big explosions, Manchester City is almost happy and crazy, okay?
But these two cute people are still enjoying it, and they seem to be very proud of their afro.

Su Dong could only say: "I respect your unique personalities!"

The coaching staff pays special attention to the physical condition of several new players.

Although they had a detailed physical examination when they signed the contract before, but now they enter the team for training, and some of their physical conditions must be mastered. Whether it is Aguero, Hazard, Douglas Costa, or Harvey Martinez, the physical condition is not bad.

Among them, Douglas Costa's body is really a bit thin, which may affect his performance in the new season, so the coaching staff is also quite worried about this, hoping that he can strengthen his physical training.

As for Aguero, despite his short stature, his physical fitness is quite good.

……

On the first day of the training camp, it was basically adjustment and recovery training.

In the afternoon of that day, Su Dong asked for leave from the team, sent his fiancée to Oxford in person, and flew back by himself.

That night, together with everyone, he took a special plane from Manchester Airport to Los Angeles, USA.

Manchester City's summer training camp is arranged in Los Angeles.

The reason why it was arranged in the United States was mainly because Manchester City was invited to participate in a warm-up match called the World Football Challenge.

This event was organized by a company called RS in the United States. The first session was held in [-]. At that time, AC Milan, Chelsea and Inter Milan, as well as the Mexican American team were invited. Four teams participated in the round-robin match, which was a great success.

The success in [-] made everyone see the potential of the North American football market. In addition, over the years, the major European giants have successively traveled to North America to explore the North American market, making the major sponsors also very optimistic about this game.

Therefore, after the suspension of the World Cup in [-], the second World Football Challenge was held this year.

The difference from the first edition is that this year's challenge has been fully upgraded. The number of participating teams has increased from the original four to thirteen, including Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester City, Juventus and other European giants and strong teams. There are also teams from the United States and Mexico.

The game is played in the way of European teams against North American teams. Except for Sporting Lisbon, which is participating in an exhibition match, the other twelve teams will fight against each other. Each team will play three games. In the end, they will be ranked based on points, and the ranking will be judged by goal difference.

The reason why European teams are willing to participate in this event is actually very simple, that is, the bonuses are generous, and they value the sweet pastry of North America. Everyone wants to get a share of the North American market.

Manchester City's North American training camp has attracted the attention of the American media, especially Su Dong, which has aroused the pursuit of the American media.

The reason why the American media favored Su Dong is actually not surprising, because Su Dong has always been one of the most well-known sports stars in the United States, especially after signing an American sports brand, his popularity has increased.

In [-], when the President of the United States visited Su Dong's homeland, he mentioned that his daughter liked Su Dong very much, but he could not arrange for them to meet Su Dong.

And this year, when the President of the United States received a No. [-] jersey when he received the MLS champion team, some media broke the news that this was specially requested by the President of the United States because it was Su Dong's jersey number.

"Obtaining this jersey means that I am at the same level as Su Dong."

Just a few days ago, during the warm-up period of the World Football Challenge, the spokesperson of the White House revealed in an interview with the media that the whole family of the president very much welcomes such an outstanding football player as Su Dong to visit the White House.

This undoubtedly aroused intense media attention.

When Manchester City arrived in Los Angeles, many media were also asking about Su Dong, asking if he would find time to go to the White House, but Su Dong expressed his regret because his schedule in the United States was already full.

The team will train in the United States for a few days, and after three warm-up games, they will return to Europe, which can be said to be non-stop.

This quickly made Su Dong the limelight of the American media.

The New York Times called him: the man who dared to reject the White House!
This not only did not damage Su Dong's image, but made his status in the eyes of the American people even higher.
