On Wednesday morning, at the training ground of Atletico Madrid’s first team, Simeone officially introduced Lin Rui to the other players.

Looking at the young Chinese player in front of them, the stars of Atletico Madrid’s first team didn’t pay too much attention.

There were just a few people who marveled at Lin Rui’s tall and strong figure.

After Simeone finished arranging today’s training content, everyone began to start today’s training according to his arrangement.

However, Lin Rui was stopped by Simeone alone.

“Lin, you don’t need to practice with them yet. Today I want to see your abilities first.

Then Simeone turned to look at Hermann next to him and said,”Are you all ready?””

“Ready. Herman nodded and said.

Then Lin Rui was taken to one side of the training ground, where various equipment had been placed. There were all kinds of cones, rope ladders, small footballs, ball machines, etc.

Lin Rui was a little confused when he saw so much equipment. He looked at Simeone in confusion.

Simeone smiled and said:”Today is mainly to test you. This will help me better master your various equipment.” Technical ability, and then you can develop corresponding training content based on your ability.”

“Okay, now let’s get started.”

As he spoke, he nodded to Herman next to him.

Herman stepped forward and began to direct Lin Rui to use various equipment in the venue to conduct tests according to his instructions.

For example, using a cone barrel , to test his ball control ability, using small footballs to test his ball feel, and rope ladders to test his coordination ability…

In one morning, Lin Rui did more than a dozen tests.

And Herman Holding a small notebook, he kept writing and drawing on it, recording the results of Lin Rui’s various tests.

In Lin Rui’s last test, after more than twenty balls fell, Herman Finally speaking, he stopped.

At this time, Lin Rui was already sweating from exhaustion.

Herman took his notebook and found Simeone who was supervising the team’s training.

“The test just ended, with a total of six physical abilities and ten technical abilities tested. Several of the physical ability test results were excellent, especially his strength data, which was extremely exaggerated. I dare say that if you look at the entire La Liga, or even the entire Europe, it will be difficult to find someone better than him. The rest of his speed, explosive power, jumping ability, coordination and physical reserves are also very good, at least at the top level of La Liga.”

“However, in terms of football skills, his level is uneven. Among them, heading, grabbing points, shooting, and stopping the ball are all pretty good. He has reached the level of ordinary players in La Liga, especially his header level, which should be the same in the entire La Liga. It’s considered top level. However, in terms of other technical abilities, he is far behind, especially his ball control and passing, which are still very rough. Not to mention compared with players in La Liga, even many players in La Liga should be better than him.”

“Taken together, Lin’s advantages are very obvious, and his shortcomings are also obvious. If this player is used well, he will be a good trump card, but if he is not used well, he will also be a big trouble.”

Herman told today’s test results and some of his own opinions one by one.

Listening to Herman’s report, Simeone was not surprised.

This report was basically consistent with what he observed.

The reason for doing this test is to more accurately grasp the details of Lin Rui.

Now that he has basically figured out the characteristics of the opponent, the next step is targeted training.

He waved to Lin Rui who was replenishing water.

“Lin, starting from today, in addition to normal team training, you will also need to strengthen ball handling and passing training. I will give you a specific training plan later. You must complete the training in accordance with the training content above”

“Of course, I know that this may be some burden for you, but in order for you to meet the team’s requirements as soon as possible, you must do these things, can you understand?”

Simone looked at Lin Rui very seriously.

The extra training he said meant that Lin Rui should have extra training after normal training.

This is quite demanding for a player.

Because the daily training intensity of the players is actually very high, and now they have to practice additional training in addition to normal training.

Many players cannot bear it.

And this kind of additional training is not just for a short period of time, but requires persistence for a long time..

This adds to the difficulty.

If it weren’t for Lin Rui’s very good physical data, Simeone would not have made such an arrangement.

After all, the human body has its limits.

But something happened that surprised him.

Lin Rui was very happy and said:”That’s great! I’m currently worrying about how to train my passing and ball handling. This training plan of yours is exactly what I need.”

After hearing Lin Rui’s words, Simeone couldn’t help but be stunned.

He had never seen any player be so excited when he heard that they were asked to practice extra time.

Afraid that Lin Rui didn’t understand what he meant, he explained again

“What I mean is that in addition to normal training, you have to do additional training in this area every day. In other words, your training time every day is two to three hours longer than others. This may leave you with no time for recreational activities”

“I know this. I have been doing additional training, but I didn’t have a systematic training plan before. I just practiced randomly, but now I can have a detailed training plan, which is a very good thing for me.”

Lin Rui also explained

“Oh, you’ve been practicing more? No wonder.”

Simone suddenly realized.

No wonder Lin Rui has improved so much.

He felt it when watching Lin Rui’s two games. In the second game, the opponent’s stopping level seemed to be significantly better than in the first game. A lot.

At that time, he thought it was his illusion.

Now it seems that the opponent has been practicing extra time. This made Simeone pay more attention to Lin Rui.

As the head coach of a team, like Lin Rui Of course he appreciates hard-working players like Rui.

As a football player, talent is of course very important, but when the talent is about the same, whether the player is diligent or hard-working is an important factor in determining the level of achievement of the player..And now, after Lin Rui has good football talent, he can still be so diligent, so his future achievements will be destined to be extraordinary.
