Chapter 360 Summer Training Camp
Irdning in Austria is not a famous tourist destination, and the altitude is a bit high.

But there are several Austrian league teams around this small city, and there are a lot of well-maintained lawns. Many European powerhouses will choose to start their summer training here, even giants like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Manchester United.

However, in the summer of 2007, when Real Madrid was training here, more than half of the team suffered from influenza. The city is located in the Alps, and it was a bit cold... Since then, there have been fewer teams coming.

But it was different in 2010. On the one hand, a large number of World Cup matches in South Africa were arranged on venues with high altitudes. Many national teams deliberately chose training bases with relatively high altitudes for training, such as England and Greece.

On the other hand, at the beginning of 2010, a large-scale blizzard hit most of Europe, and in summer, most European countries were extremely hot, but the highest temperature in Irdning did not exceed 26 degrees Celsius, and the pleasant climate can be regarded as a summer resort. up.

In the training base, Sun Wu, who was standing in the crowd, looked left and right. At a glance, there were few acquaintances. Matip, Westermann, Hewedes, Pecarik, and Neuer in the midfield all participated. After the World Cup, only Fuchs, Rakitic and Sun Wu participated in the training camp.

In the frontcourt, except for Cavani, both Holtby and Draxler failed to be selected for the national team. Farfan’s home country, Peru, did not enter the finals, but last season Kuranyi and Sanchez were already in the finals. leave the team.

These players who participated in the World Cup will not be reported until at least late July. Magath can't make up a lineup that can barely start for the warm-up match, so he has to urgently promote a group of players from the youth team to participate in the training camp.

This is the so-called "World Cup Syndrome". The tense and intense World Cup not only overwhelms the players' bodies, but also stimulates their spirits.

No matter how angry Magath is, it's useless, but those players must rest... So, Magath began to seriously train these players who could be seen.

All kinds of old methods are presented one by one, and none of them can be left behind, such as lead-filled vests, medicine balls, running with the ball at variable speeds for a long time, and dragging a 15 kg to 25 kg iron block with a rope for a 1000-meter race. Leapfrog jumping, push-ups, squats, jumping goats... these are all pediatrics.

The most terrible thing is... cross-country training.

Sun Wu felt bad when he was still looking down on the city from the plane. The cliff of this training base was carefully selected by Magath, and it is located in the Alps... which means there are endless mountain roads!

At 05:30 in the morning, the fitness coach Reuthard, with his hands behind his back, looked at the players who were still trembling behind him with a fierce look in his eyes.

"It's too much!" Sun Wu covered his mouth with his hand and yawned, cursing a few words in a low voice.

Hao Junmin and Farfan beside him looked desperate. The former had vomited no less than ten times in the past two days. The latter was scolded by Reuthard for being lazy yesterday, and was finally fined 100 leapfrogs plus 100 times. push ups……

Magath, in shorts and shorts and wearing sneakers, appeared in front of everyone. It looked like he was going to run the whole distance with him... okay?Draxler was a little skeptical, look at Magath's beer belly and the faintly visible white hair on his head!
"There is no need to doubt." Sun Wu raised his hand and said with a blank face: "The summer training camp last year, Graffit climbed halfway up the mountain and was carried down by a stretcher, but Felix was the fourth in the team to reach the summit."

"Nonsense!" Farfan grumbled, "He's naked, we're wearing a lead-filled vest!"

Just as he was about to announce the start, seeing Sun Wu raised his hand, Magath frowned and asked, "Best?"

"Mr. Felix, I have only one request."

"Request?" Magath snorted, "You say."

"Provide us with enough drinking water after the training." Sun Wu said with a sincere expression.

This is a major reason why Magath's training has been criticized. In Wolfsburg, Magath was completing a long-distance physical training...through a whole forest, but he didn't give it to the thirsty players. water!
"There's water." It seemed Magath was soft-hearted this time.

But the next moment everyone cursed in their hearts!

"A total of 15 players practiced, 17 including me and Reuthard, but only 7 bottles of drinking water."

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo..."

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo..."

My lungs were on fire, my mouth and nose were all spicy, although I kept reminding myself that I couldn't stop, but...

Just wearing a lead-filled vest, did Magath also tie sandbags to my legs?
"Therefore, when heaven will send a great mission to people, they must first suffer from their minds and minds, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and mess up their actions. Therefore, their hearts and minds are moved, and they have benefited from what they cannot..."

He said it silently over and over again in his heart, but Sun Wu felt that this hypnotic method was not very effective. The mountains near Yidening were quite steep, and climbing the mountain had an inclination of about 40 degrees.

I thought going down the mountain would be a little bit better, but it's not the case... A young man from the youth team accidentally rolled down a wheel, and his face was covered in blood!

The team members who ran past all cast envious eyes. This guy was the only one who escaped the training, and Holtby and Hao Junmin, who vomited no less than four times in the middle, were chased away by Reuthard like a sheep. to the end.

"Don't stop, walk slowly, don't rush to drink water!" Reuthard yelled loudly.

But everyone grabbed the water bottle and you took a sip, and even Draxler couldn't care about his cleanliness...

"Turn into the ice bucket and rest for an hour." Magath announced today's training plan, "then there will be leapfrog, push-ups, medicine ball training, training with the ball in the afternoon, and a warm-up match every two days."

Seeing Magath and Reuthard leave, and rested for a few minutes, the players started to complain.

"I've never done so much training in my life, it's too much!" This is the lament of Fuchs, who joined at the beginning of the year.

"That's because you haven't met Magath before." Farfan gasped, "So Marcio is leaving..."

The Marcio mentioned by Farfan refers to Rafinha who left the team at the beginning of the year. The Brazilian right back was sent to Serie A Genoa by Magath, but just the day before yesterday, Bayern Munich officially announced that Rafinha was worth 1000 million euros. Join.

Pecarik poked Sun Wu next to him, "Best, have you heard? Edin seems to be going to Bayern."

Sun Wu with dull eyes murmured: "I don't care where he goes...I just want to know how to get through the rest of the time..."

So, on July 7, when Raul Gonzalez, the "Lord of the Rings" who bid farewell to the fans at the Bernabéu Stadium, came to Irdning the next day, what he saw was a group of listless and weak A group of teammates who are dissatisfied with the demands of middle-aged women.
