Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 160 Birthday "gift" (first update on weekends)
The Audi Cup is just one of Atletico Madrid's pre-season warm-up matches. Before the official opening of the league in the middle of this month, Atletico Madrid has three pre-season warm-up matches, all away games, against newly promoted Brighton from the Premier League and two La Liga teams Getafe and Leganes.

After participating in the Audi Cup-related events and all activities, the whole team departed to Brighton & Hove, a single management area in southeastern England, on the second day to prepare for the away game against Brighton.

While Wen Zhihao was resting his eyes on the plane, at the same moment in China, the news that Wen Zhihao contributed his first assist to help Atletico Madrid win the championship continued to ferment among the fans and the media.Now every move of Wen Zhihao can touch the hearts of Chinese fans more than in Waiters.If you achieve results in Atletico Madrid, you have the possibility of becoming a world-class star.From Aguero, Torres to Diego Costa and Griezmann, Atletico Madrid has always had a tradition of producing sharp strikers.Wen Zhihao was transformed into a striker by Simeone. Who can say that Simeone has no expectations for him in this regard?
……

Brighton is a seaside city in the south of England. The dense pebbled beaches and beautiful sea views are a major symbol of attracting tourists here. At the same time, the strong cultural atmosphere and the number of bars second only to London reflect the life hobbies of the British in the small town.

But for Wen Zhihao, he can only see all this from books or websites, he is not here for vacation.After dropping off his luggage at the hotel and having lunch, Simeone only gave him a two-hour lunch break and started training at three in the afternoon.Training takes place at the University of Brighton's football pitch.

Atletico Madrid's training intensity and capacity are very large, which is reflected in Simeone's physical requirements for players.Whether it's push-ups or running back and forth with a load, Simeone's standards are often about twice as high as those of ordinary five major league teams.Strengthening tactical execution on the basis of abundant physical fitness, Atletico Madrid is unique in the ranks of La Liga teams with such a distinctive style. However, only one league champion or Champions League champion is missing.

Even Wen Zhihao, who has never been afraid of physical training since his professional debut, will be tired and panting with his mouth open every time he is drilled by Simeone.But this was enough to surprise Gabi and other veteran players. At least Wen Zhihao could still walk. They had seen many players from small teams or low-level leagues fall to the ground like dead dogs after being drilled by the head coach in the past few years.Of course, this group of people in Atletico Madrid is destined to be the group that will be submerged by the big waves.

Back at the hotel after training, what Wen Zhihao missed the most was the big bed in the room.The feeling of sudden relaxation of the whole body after extreme fatigue is simply not too pleasant.

Wen Zhihao had just finished washing in the room, but Simeone suddenly came to his room.

"Wen, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter, sir?" Wen Zhihao was a little scared in his heart. Based on his short-term observation, Simeone basically went to the Three Treasure Hall for everything, and he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"I prefer you to call me Diego or Boss. Sir, this title is too unfamiliar." Simeone smiled, and then asked: "I just thought of it, let me ask you, is your birthday coming?"

"Ah?" Wen Zhihao was taken aback, scratched his head and thought for a while, then said: "It seems to be, on the day of our next match... Hey, sir, oh no, boss, you know too?"

When Wen Zhihao was a child, his parents remembered his birthday every year. When he started football, especially after he came to Europe, training and competition took up most of his time. Wen Zhihao didn't remember it in his head.On his birthday in Arnhem last year, former teammates gave him a surprise, which made Wen Zhihao feel at home.Now that Simeone cares about him, Wen Zhihao feels warm in his heart.

"I have said from the first day that we are a big family. I don't even know the birthdays of my team members. I am too unqualified as a parent." Simeone said and took out a small gift box from his bag. "Birthday gift for you, I hope it will surprise you."

"Thank you, boss, I'm very happy!" Wen Zhihao immediately stood up and found the box, he couldn't wait to open it to have a look.

"I hope it can surprise you." Simeone said beside him, but the separation of surprise and joy accentuated his tone.

Wen Zhihao didn't notice that after opening the box, there was nothing inside except a piece of folded paper.

Wen Zhihao tore apart the paper suspiciously, and saw the eye-catching English title at first sight:

Special Training Improvement Plan!

Below are the various form tasks.

Wen Zhihao felt that he was being tricked thoroughly, he raised his head and glanced at Simeone, who was sitting opposite him with a wicked smile.

Wen Zhihao took a deep breath, bit his lips, and said words from between his teeth; "This is a great gift, thank you!"

Simeone put on a very useful expression and said; "Well, I think so too, I sent you a cheat book that will make you stronger, and it will never expire, so don't thank me too much!"

Wen Zhihao was instantly defeated by Simeone, and he shouted with a bitter face: "Boss, don't do this?"

Simeone spread his hands and said: "Okay, after you go back, you can report to the B team, anyway, you are considered a small player there. I will call Coach Barea, it is simple."

Wen Zhihao immediately covered his mouth and surrendered: "I'm not good enough in training, boss, how can you be willing to spend so much money, poaching players for more than 1000 million euros to play in the youth team."

Simeone smiled: "I don't want this to happen. From now on, report to the professor on time from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] every morning. He will be responsible for your strength training."

Professor is the other name of Atletico Madrid's fitness coach Mendes in the team. He is very good at improving players' physical fitness and physical fitness. He started to cooperate with Simeone when he was a player. He has strict requirements on players and belongs to a role that makes everyone afraid and convinced.

Before walking out of the room, Simeone stopped and looked back at Wen Zhihao: "If you can score a goal in the next game, I can consider giving you a birthday present—this time it's real, I won't lie to you!"

Wen Zhihao: "Hehe!"

……

The next morning, Wen Zhihao arrived at the hotel fitness center on time.

Mendes looked at Wen Zhihao and nodded, "You are in good spirits. I hope you can survive the next nightmare. I will always be responsible for your physical improvement until you can easily complete the training plan."

"Don't worry, professor, I won't let you down!" Wen Zhihao was as confident in himself as ever.

"Do you know where your weak point is?"

Wen Zhihao shook his head.

The professor said: "Your upper body core strength and back muscles are severely lacking. Do you feel that in a high-intensity confrontation game, the opponent can't hold the ball when he hits from behind, staggers and loses his center of gravity, and his arms can't support the opponent during the confrontation?"

Wen Zhihao nodded his head heavily, he has a deep understanding of this.

"This is where I want you to improve. Relatively speaking, your speed is an advantage, so you don't need to deliberately strengthen your lower body muscles, which may limit your original strengths. I hope that after you graduate from me, you can transform into a small tank. Work hard, young man!"

Wen Zhihao's eyes lit up, imagining these scenes in his mind.He dribbled the ball against the opponent's muscles, strangled and chased and intercepted, and broke into the penalty area like a bamboo to score...

Do you feel like you're going crazy!

The initial resistance was completely replaced by longing, Wen Zhihao yearned for great power.

When most of his teammates are still in the dream in bed, the sound of the equipment in the fitness center intertwined with the shouts of the professor, Wen Zhihao is experiencing the arduous process of phoenix nirvana and surpassing himself...
