The midfield king of football life

Chapter 6 The Brutal Training Begins

In any profession, if you want to succeed or be better than most people, you must work harder than most people.

The reason why Dutch football can become the "talent base" of European football is that it has the strictest youth training system in Europe, so that it can continuously provide the best and most potential young players.

Li Feng officially entered the Feyenoord youth training camp after passing the trial training. Entering the youth training camp does not mean that you can enter the professional team without any worries.In April and December every year, the youth team will conduct two competitive tests. One of the purposes is to determine the competitive state of the players, because the youth team will face reorganization after each season.Every season, about 4 players will be eliminated, and new players will be added to the team, keeping 12 players in each age group.With such continuous screening, the remaining players are basically relatively good players.Among them, the main criteria for assessing and evaluating the players are the records of usual training and competitions and the final test scores.

Li Feng came to the training ground with his equipment early in the morning, changed his equipment and did warm-up exercises, and other team members arrived one after another.Among these players, Li Feng was also familiar with Bilal, but he made more friends in the following time.

"Feng, you came very early." Pilar said with a smile.

"I want to warm up my lower body early, and the coach will definitely assign training tasks later." Li Feng replied.

Almost a lot of players have arrived. At this time, there are staff and assistant coaches, and the coach walks over to them.

"Everyone, I am the person in charge of your youth training camp. You can call me Hertog. For a long time in the future, as long as you can stay, you will often hear my name. Here, please remember the sentence "Speak less and do more". Now you have nothing to think about except to make yourself stronger." Hertog said seriously to the youth training team.

"Now I would like to introduce you individually. This is your physical coach Delk, who will be in charge of your physical training and testing. What I can tell you is that Delk is a very strict physical coach, which means that you have suffered. Another gentleman who looks more kind, his name is Molenco, and he is your basic coach. Meeting him should be the happiest thing for you. The last one is your medical doctor Julie. You can report to her if you have any discomfort during training. She is a gentle lady." Greg said with a smile.

After Hertog's introduction, Li Feng and the others were divided into two groups, one group was brought to training by the physical coach, and the other group was brought to training by the basic coach.Unfortunately, Li Feng was assigned to the group of physical coaches.

"Okay, kids, our first training program today should be quite easy, that is 10-30 meter sprint training. First of all, you warm up first, and jog along the sidelines for a week." Delk said playfully.

After Li Feng and the others finished running, Delk asked them to line up in a row and start taking turns to do the 30-meter sprint test.As soon as they ran, Delk recorded a test score after each team member's name.After they took turns running for the first time, Li Feng saw Delk shaking his head, seemingly dissatisfied with their results.After the 30-meter sprint, the 10-meter sprint will take turns.

"Children, your test scores are really bad. No one has reached the standards of the youth training camp, my God!" Delk finished speaking and made a gesture of touching his forehead.

Short-distance sprinting on the court is an essential skill. If your sprint speed is fast enough and your explosive power is strong enough, you can quickly get rid of your opponent when you are attacking, and you can quickly grab the ball when you are defending. Therefore, Delk's first test is to test their sprinting ability.

"Take a 10-minute break and start the 100-meter leapfrog. Everyone is not allowed to be lazy. Your results will be included in the year-end performance assessment." Delk quickly showed his stern side.

After rounds of training, although it was very tiring and hard work, Li Feng persisted, because he knew that these trainings were what he lacked.If he wants to play football for a lifetime, he must complete these training programs well.

After the training of the physical coach, Li Feng and the others got a short rest.The following training subjects are relatively simple and easy for them.

The basic coach Molenco is indeed much more amiable than Delk.The first item in the basic training is to let Li Feng and the others pass the ball 1v1. During the passing process, the ball cannot be stopped, the speed should be slow and fast, and the distance should be changed from close to far.This is not difficult for children who have a certain foundation.However, it is still difficult to complete each delivery with high requirements.

During this period of time, Li Feng practiced dribbling and dribbling when he had free time, which greatly improved the sense of football, so the 1-on-1 delivery was not too difficult for Li Feng.What is really difficult is the project of passing by 4 players and stealing the ball by one player.

"Four people pass and one steals. In this process, what you need to pay attention to is the judgment of the passer on the position of the stealer. Of course, the stealer must also predict the passing route of the passer. In addition, it depends on your short-distance sprint ability." Molenco said concisely

Li Feng was still able to keep up with the rhythm at the beginning of the static pass. Later, Coach Molenco asked the passing players to start moving, and there were more mistakes between them. Li Feng also made several mistakes in this training.

After a day of training, the excitement in the morning has long since dissipated, and Li Feng feels sore all over his body, feeling that his physical strength has been drained.At this time, Pilar still had the strength to run over to him.

"Hey, Feng, how do you feel? Are you running out of strength?" Pilar teased.

"Hmph, no, I can still run!" Li Feng replied unconvinced
"Really? Then how about we sprint 50 meters again?"

"Who is afraid of whom? Come as soon as you come?"

In this way, Li Feng was provoked by Bilal and ran back and forth a few more times. In the end, Li Feng was completely exhausted and sat on the ground without moving.

"Feng, don't sit still, I'll take you to a good place, follow me." Pilar said
"I can't run anymore, so don't lie to me," Li Feng said pleadingly.

Pilar directly pulled Li Feng up and walked to the physical therapy room.Li Feng looked very reluctant.

"Ms. Julie, my teammate Li Feng and I feel muscle pain after training, can you check for us?" Pilar said pitifully.When Li Feng heard Bilal hypocritically saying that he had muscle pain, he almost laughed, but he held back, he couldn't betray his best friend.

"Come on, you two lie down."

After Li Feng and Pilar lay down, Dr. Zhu Li checked them respectively.

"The two of you have no major problems. It may be caused by over-training. I will give you a muscle massage later, just relax." Dr. Zhu Li said softly.

"Okay, thank you very much?" Pilar replied pretending to be pitiful, and then turned his head to make a face at Li Feng.

In this way, after the cruel training in the future, Bilal and Li Feng both went to the physiotherapy room to find Dr. Julie for a free massage service.
