Football: Invincible starting from krypton gold

Chapter 54 New Season Training Camp 2
As for the allure of food, men and women are really addicted to it. The distance between the four men who were a little strange at first has shortened the distance between each other after just one Chinese meal.

After the meal, the four chatted more and more, from themselves to the court, from the present to the future.A few people become friends in a few hours.

Because tomorrow is the training day, Knight and the others didn't stay too late, they went back after a while, and Chen Xiao fell asleep early after tidying up.

Early the next morning, even during the holidays, Chen Xiao kept his biological clock self-disciplined, so after returning to Germany, Chen Xiao still got up at 7 o'clock to wash up, and still ran to the training base.

The nutritionist of the team is still waiting for him.

"Hi Bob, good morning!"

"Hi! Chen, you are very punctual. After breakfast, you all have to go to the training room for a simple test. We want to see if you have maintained your body and state this holiday."

"OK, no problem."

The restaurant's own table was still the same as before. After eating breakfast slowly, Chen Xiao came to the physical training room, and under the supervision of the physical coach, he did a series of checks.

After Chen Xiao finished, the teammates of the team arrived one after another.

Shouting hello to familiar teammates, introducing each other to unfamiliar teammates, and seeing that there are a lot less familiar faces among teammates, Chen Xiao fully understands what Floyd said earlier, "This is a profession".

After everyone has finished their checkups, everyone goes to the locker room together. The report of the checkup here will be handed over to Klopp's desk immediately, and then the team's team doctor, nutritionist, and coaching staff will carry out some detailed intensive training or diet adjustments for everyone based on the report.

Back in the locker room, everyone changed into jerseys and came to the training ground. At this time, Klopp was already waiting on the field, waiting for all the personnel to line up.

"Hey guys, how was your holiday?"

"Very good," "Very pleasant!" "Very good"

Although the players have different answers, they are all in a very happy mood.

"I'm afraid you're going to be in trouble next time. When the inspection report comes out, I'll know who's vacation is indulgent and who's doing well. If you don't care about your status as a professional player during your vacation, then you will be very miserable during the next period of time."

After listening to Klopp's warning, the faces of some people in the team suddenly became ugly.

"Gentlemen, let's welcome our new teammates first. Come on, our new teammates will come out and introduce themselves one by one. There is one more thing, as everyone may know, we still have a new teammate—Mr. Demi Albertini. It will take a few days to report, so those who want to know Demi may be disappointed today."

Afterwards, the newly joined players introduced themselves one by one. It was the first time we met goalkeeper Wei Ze Chen Xiao.

"Okay, now everyone knows everyone, everyone, this year we are in the Bundesliga, not the Bundesliga, and we are going to participate in the UEFA Cup. This is the first time in the history of Mainz. At the beginning of the season last year, we never thought that we would advance to the Bundesliga. We never thought that we would win the German Cup. In the end, we did it all. Now everyone outside thinks that we are newly promoted. Our goal for the season should be to avoid relegation. Yes, this is true, but guys, this is what others want from us. I think so. The requirements are too low, since we have won the first German Cup in history, why can't we win the first UEFA Cup in history, maybe as long as each of us knows how to unite and strictly implements the tactics assigned by the coach, maybe we will go to the Champions Cup next season."

In the pre-season speech, everyone Klopp said was full of enthusiasm. After a short pause, Klopp continued: "Some of you players who joined Mainz this year may not understand Mainz, so I will tell you now that Mainz only needs one voice, and that is my voice. If you can't play according to my requirements, then you can only sit on the bench. So what I want on the pitch is obedience, and what I want off the pitch is self-discipline. That's all, now let's start. Do simple recovery exercises."

As soon as Klopp's voice fell, the players applauded.

While everyone was doing simple recovery training under the leadership of the assistant coach, Klopp waved to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao then came to Klopp's side.

"Boss, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Let's talk to you. The team has some new teammates. You should pay more attention to getting closer to them. This will help the team stabilize. There is another thing that you need to go to the office to sign the new contract during the lunch break. I have already discussed with Floyd. He originally said that he would come here today, but later he called and said that he couldn't come today because of something."

"I see. Last night at my house, Peter and Viiko were at my house with Nate. We had a good talk."

"Great, you're doing great. By the way, do you need a new jersey number for the new season?"

"What number is empty?"

"Well, the numbers for leaving the team are all empty now, except for Demi who called and asked for a number 4, other numbers like 7, 11, and 9 are all empty."

"Boss, can I choose number 7?"

"Of course, I will notify you immediately, and you will be number 7. Chen, the team will use you as the core of the team next season, so you need to do more, can you understand? But don't put too much pressure on yourself, I believe you can do it."

"Understood, boss, I will not let you down."

"Okay, let's go!"

After the simple recovery training, everyone rested in place.

"Chen, do you want to come and play for a while?" Knight shouted from a distance.

"Oh, Knight, your pocket money will be gone again." Chen Xiao smiled after seeing the small venue arranged by Knight and the others.

Some people standing nearby also laughed.

"Hmph, Chen, this summer I have dedicated intensive training, and I will definitely beat you today."

"Hey, Nate, it's daytime, how do you dream? Well, let's play, how about it? Or the old rules?"

"Okay, old rules." Knight and Chen Xiao clapped hands.

Then Knight looked at the surrounding teammates and said, "Hey, brothers, do you want to participate? Our new teammates may not know, let me tell you first, the loser will invite the whole team to eat. How about it? Dare you?" After hearing Knight's provocative method, none of the original old players were fooled, but the new players were a little eager to try.

"I'll do it." Paulovic and Troshovsky stepped forward.

Klopp, who saw two people standing on the side, stood aside with a smile, without any intention of stopping.

Why didn't the old players fall for it? In fact, Knight didn't want to compete with Chen Xiao. This is a trap. Playing this game, no one in Mainz has beaten Chen Xiao since Chen Xiao joined.

This is a game created by Klopp himself. In a certain space, there are not only marking boards on the ground, but also dummy defenders. Players rush in with the ball quickly and pass these marking boards and dummies. When encountering dummies in the process, the time continues but starts from the beginning. When encountering the marking board, add 30 seconds. In the end, whoever takes the shortest time wins.

It looks simple, but it actually requires a lot of dribbling skills for players. It requires players to constantly change directions and turns, and change the rhythm of dribbling. In addition, this is a game that requires a certain amount of psychological pressure. The difficulty is still acceptable.And because Chen Xiao has mastered Ronaldo's ability to change direction, he is really at home in this similar game.
