World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 237 YOYO Body Test
The conflict and competition just now was just a small episode, after which the training continued.

After the "two against one" drill, the "three against two" and "four against three" tactical drills were carried out.

After that, Liu Jindong explained on the whiteboard the tactical routine of "fighting more with less" and "two against three" and "three against four".

Then the contestants were divided into groups to conduct tactical drills of playing more with less.

Compared with the previous game of playing more and playing less, this time playing more and more with less will test the players' skills, cooperation, and awareness.

There are very few players who can successfully complete training with less play.

After explaining the offensive tactics, Liu Jindong explained the defensive tactics, how to defend more with less, how to defend less with more, how to choose positions, and how to assist in defense.

In the explanation, he also specifically mentioned the orangutan's defense just now: "Although Zhou Yong's defense was successful, many defensive positions and defensive moves were wrong. The reason why he can defend against the opponent is because the opponent's strength is relatively weak. If the opponent's strength is strong, or the physical fitness is similar to him, he may have been broken by the opponent long ago!"

After speaking, he specially called the orangutan over to guide him on the spot, corrected his movements and position selection, and let him try it out.

Seeing this scene, the hearts of the two people at the scene were ups and downs.

Gao Yuan sighed in his heart: "Liu Jindong is worthy of being a former international footballer. His guidance is very good, and he is very helpful and enlightening to the players. This is something that an academic coach like myself cannot do. And Zhou Yong is indeed a defensive genius. With a little guidance, he can immediately master it. This kid's future is limitless!"

But Wang Zi wanted to cry without tears: "In the eyes of the coach, I am weak! No wonder the young coach doesn't like me. Damn, am I not a genius?"

This training session lasted for three and a half hours due to the conflict in the middle.After the end, all the contestants were exhausted physically and mentally. Many of them couldn't even eat, so they went straight back to the dormitory and collapsed on the bed.

But the more brutal third training session is still waiting for them.

The third training session is physical training.

It is said to be physical training, but in fact it should be called a physical fitness test.

After all, there is only one training session. It is necessary to show the real physical fitness level of the players in front of the evaluation team and to add entertainment effects to the program, so the physical fitness test is the best way.

The contestants all wore what Niu Gensheng called "black bras", that is, the GPSorts system, and the evaluation team combined the data on the computer terminal to observe and evaluate.

The first thing to do is the YOYO physical test.

The so-called YOYO physical test is also called intermittent endurance test method.What he simulates are the acceleration, deceleration, emergency stop, turn and other actions that frequently occur in football matches, and tests the physical limit and endurance of football players when they continue to accelerate, decelerate, emergency stop, and turn.

Compared with the traditional 12-minute run, the YOYO physical test is more scientific and more specific to the characteristics of football games. The 12-minute run is mainly to monitor the aerobic metabolism level when the human body reaches the maximum heart rate output, while the YOYO body test combines aerobic jogging and anaerobic sprinting, which is closer to actual competition.

The specific test method is the 20-meter method, which requires players to run back and forth with intervals at increasing speeds between two markers 20 meters apart.Team members have a 2-second interval after completing each 20X5 meter, and the rhythm of the switchback run is controlled by the sound signal played by the tape recorder.

跑动速度从8级到21级分为12档，开始速度是8级，相当于11.5公里/小时，也就是说要在12.5秒内完成40米（2x20米）折返。不同的速度档要完成不同的多组2x20米折返跑。

Level 8, Level 10, and Level 12 each have 2 groups of switchbacks;

Level 13, Level 13.5, and Level 14 each have 8 groups of switchbacks;

Level 14.5 and Level 15 each have 3 groups of turn-back runs;

Level 15.5 and Level 16 each have 6 groups of turn-back runs;

Level 16.5 and Level 17 each have 6 groups of turn-back runs;

·····
YOYO's physical test sounds simple, but his difficulty lies in not running back and forth at a constant speed, but resting for a few seconds before continuing to sprint, and the speed is getting faster and faster.This requires the players to control the rhythm and distribute the physical energy evenly, and the quality of will is also one of the important determining factors.Even for professional players, usually more than 40 times, the player's physical fitness has reached the limit, and the remaining dozen times depends entirely on the will and quality of the players.

The plain test standard of the YOYO physical test is to finish the third group of the 17th level (a total of 3 groups of 57 meters).This standard is the standard of European professional football powers. In fact, in domestic football, if you can complete the 2280-level return run, you are already considered a player with very good physical fitness.

Many professional players have fallen under the ghost gate of YOYO physical test. There was once a mid-level team in the middle class, 30 people participated in the test, and only 8 people passed the appalling incident.And Shu Chang, Zhang Xiaorui, Chen Yongqiang and other Chinese Super League stars have also become ghosts under the knife who have passed the YOYO physical test.

After Liu Jindong introduced the rules, combined with the sound signal of the tape recorder, he ran 3 sets of 40-meter switchbacks at variable speeds as a demonstration.Then all the contestants were divided into 5 groups, 12 people in each group, and the YOYO physical test was carried out respectively.

Wang Zi volunteered to participate in the first round of physical examination.

Through yesterday's failure, he was inspired by the competitive spirit of a genius, and made up his mind to do his best no matter what.

Originally, everyone was unwilling to go first, and the contestants who were assigned to the first round of tests were all frowning.Now that someone wants to come first, everyone is very surprised. The contestants who were assigned to the first round even expressed that they can give up their chances to Wang Zi.

Seeing Wang Zi being so proactive, Director Li was overjoyed!Wang Zi is simply the savior of this show!Has good looks, talent, stories, and distinctive personality, competitive.This person must dig deep!The flow of the show depends on him!

Director Li even took out a camera to follow Wang Zi the whole way. ,
As the music sounded, the test began.

At the beginning of the 8-level speed and 10-level speed, everyone was very relaxed. Many players still had smiles on their faces, thinking that the legendary YOYO test was nothing more than this.I still have a lot of energy left.

Although the speed of level 12 is a bit faster, those who can participate in this program often play football and have good physical fitness.It's also easier to complete.

From the 13th level, the relaxed smiles disappeared from the faces of the contestants, because starting from this level of speed, they have to run 8 sets back and forth, which not only tests the speed, but also requires certain endurance.But fortunately, the speed is not particularly fast, and the players can still adapt.

At level 13.5, it was a little faster, and I was able to grit my teeth and persist, but everyone's expressions became dignified.

But at level 14, the originally neat formation began to become chaotic.Some run fast, some run slowly, the fast ones run to the finish line early and wait for the next wave of drumbeats, and the slow ones run desperately to reach the finish line before the end of this wave of drumbeats.

If you don't arrive after the drumbeat ends, it will be counted as a foul. Similarly, if the drumbeat has not started, you will also be counted as a foul if you run away.Two consecutive fouls will result in the termination of test eligibility.

Gradually, some people couldn't keep up with the rhythm. After the first drum beat, there were players who hadn't reached the finish line, and soon the second and third appeared...
The YOYO physical test is very cruel. It perfectly interprets what is meant by "not catching up with one step at a time". Those who run slowly, after the drum beat, have not reached the finish line, so they received the first warning.When they had just reached the finish line, before they had time to catch their breath, the next wave of drums had already sounded. The other players had already been fully prepared and ready to go, but before they even had time to catch their breath, they had to run wildly behind them.

But because the speed was slow, the start was late, and the breathing was not evenly adjusted.Therefore, not surprisingly, the contestant who received the first warning would be given a second warning and be eliminated within two sets of turn-back runs because he arrived later than the drumbeat again.

After the 14 sets of turn-back runs at level 8, 3 players have already been eliminated.At this time, just ran 30 groups, 1200 meters.

At level 14.5, the contestants encountered new problems.

Because the speed increased, the mentality of the contestants began to fluctuate. As soon as the heart rate rose, they were prone to impulsiveness. Some people started to rush away before the signal sounded.

Same as being late, preemption is not allowed. The first preemption is given a warning, and the second time is also eliminated.

Those who run early may feel that they are wronged, not because they can't keep up with the speed, but because they are too active.But in fact, running ahead is the same as being late, both are affected by heart rate fluctuations, abnormal breathing, and brain hypoxia. If the body can easily adapt to the rhythm and finish it with ease, just like the 8-level speed at the beginning, who would still start running?

At level 15, 2 more people were eliminated because of rushing, 1 was eliminated because they did not finish on time, and 1 signaled that he was out of breath and left the game voluntarily.

Only five players led by Wang Zi remained on the field.

After reaching level 15.5, the turn-back running has changed from 3 groups to 6 groups. While testing the speed, it also puts forward higher requirements for endurance.

After 6 groups sprinted down, another person was eliminated because of a false start.

At level 16, the coaching staff terminated a player's qualification based on the physical monitoring displayed on the GPsports terminal, because his heart rate, blood oxygen content and other indicators have reached the extremely dangerous area, and if he persists, there may be a risk of sudden death.

That contestant was struggling with his willpower, but now that he has been disqualified from the competition, he happily went down the slope, but as soon as he came down, he felt dizzy and vomited when he lay on the sidelines.

All the teenagers watching the game from the sidelines looked stern, it was frighteningly frightening!
Only the cold-blooded program group Li Daole couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, directing the camera to quickly take a big close-up of the vomiting contestant.Although this shot will definitely not pass the review, even if it is put on a mosaic, or just put it in a promotional video, it is exciting enough and definitely attracts attention!

While vomiting, another person couldn't take it anymore and left the scene voluntarily.

Now only Wang Zi and another player are left on the field.And the speed has also risen to level 16.5.

This has basically reached the testing standards for first-team players in the Chinese Super League.

When they ran to the fourth group, the players who accompanied Wang Zi were also eliminated because they couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

On the field, only Wang Zi was left to persist!
He has won, but he has to challenge himself.

"Wang Zi, come on!" Pan Xinyue's high-pitched voice sounded again, and everyone realized that they should cheer for Wang Zi who was fighting alone.

"Wang Zi, come on!"

"Hold on a little longer"

"do not give up"

·····
The sound of cheering and cheering became more and more enthusiastic.
