The Godfather of Greenery

Chapter 647 A Training Session
Although many people regard Enfield as a suburb of London, in fact, it is still a dense residential area.

The area around M25, which is the ring expressway, is considered to be a suburb if you go north all the way.

Get off the M25 highway, go north, and enter Hertfordshire. Along the way, there are guiding signs for the Whitewater Center in the Lee Valley.

Tottenham Hotspur's Theobald training base is not difficult to find, especially for those who have been here before, unless you are a road idiot, otherwise, you can basically remember it once you come, because it is easy to find, Moreover, the scenery here is very beautiful and quiet, and it is definitely a good place for self-cultivation.

Pirlo fell in love with the place straight away after visiting Theobald's training ground.

"Hello!" When Pirlo's agent Tinti drove to the gate of Theobald's training base, the security guard stopped the car politely, leaned down, and saw Pirlo sitting in the car, " Sorry, Mr. Pirlo, foreign vehicles are not allowed in the training base, so please park your cars in the dedicated parking lot of the news building, thank you for your cooperation!"

Pirlo waved his hand towards the security guard, indicating that he could understand, and the door slowly opened.

Like the first training session of every season, Tottenham Hotspur's training session this morning is still open to the public, so when Pirlo and his agent arrived at the parking lot of the news building, there had already been a lot of people rushing here. The reporters who came.

But what's interesting is that what Pirlo was worried about, similar to the situation in the Italian media, that the scene of pounced on the players as soon as they saw the wolf did not happen. Everyone just kept a certain distance and picked up Pirlo was a little surprised that no one would rush up to ask him for an interview while the cameras were taking pictures.

"I heard that this is Theobald's rule!" said the manager Tinty.

Pirlo likes such rules very much, and he always felt that there is no team in the world that can subdue those all-pervasive reporters, but now it seems that he is wrong, because Tottenham is hot Thorn did it.

Walk along the main road of the training base, and soon turn right to the training area of ​​the first team, and then walk in, and soon arrive at the training building of the first team, the parking lot is under the building, there are many players talking.

Many international players who participated in the Copa America have not yet returned to the team, but it was previously reported that basically all Tottenham Hotspur players do not plan to take a vacation after playing in the Copa America, but return directly to the team to participate in the pre-season Even though the club still gave them a two-week vacation according to the past practice, they are obviously more active now.

The team's preparations for this summer will be divided into three stages. First, they will train in Theobald for a few days. After the team gathers, they will go to Qatar in the Middle East. In Asia, there will be three warm-up matches in Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Singapore in China.

The entire Asian trip will last for two weeks, and then the team will go to Amsterdam to participate in the Amsterdam Cup Invitational, which is also a traditional event for Ajax. Tottenham Hotspur are invited every year, and this will also be the Premier League Community Shield Cup against Manchester City. Before the team, the last round of warm-up match.

In addition, at the end of the Asian tour, there are three Brazilian players in the team who will participate in the U20 World Cup held in Colombia in August. They are Sandro, Coutinho and Lucas Moura. Originally, the Brazilian Football Association also wanted to let Neymar participated in this event, but Ye Qiu said that Neymar will be an important member of the team in the new season and refused to let him participate in this event.

Ye Qiu has always had a good relationship with the football associations of various countries, so this time, he also tried his best to cooperate with the request made by the Brazilian Football Association. He has already allowed three players to participate in the competition, especially San, who is the captain of the Brazilian U20 national team. De Luo, this is also a midfielder that Ye Qiu values ​​​​very much this season. It can be said that he has done his best.

In this regard, the Brazilian Football Association can only choose to accept, after all, Neymar is now considered a big-name star.

In addition to some players going to participate in the national team competition, the players participating in the Copa America may not be able to return to the team for training until late July. Therefore, for Tottenham Hotspur, the training and preparations throughout the summer will become very important. Fragmented, there is still no way to start a training camp with a complete lineup.

But Tottenham Hotspur's coaching staff has already had rich experience in dealing with this kind of training camp. After all, in the past few years, the teams under Ye Qiu's command have always had many international footballers and stars, so they have already accumulated a set of training methods. , How to adjust the status and preparation experience of the stars affected by participating in the national team competition.

The performance of Tottenham Hotspur last season shocked everyone. The start of the league was very stable and calm, but in October, Tottenham Hotspur soared into the sky and directly played a wave The crazy winning streak has almost impressed the whole world. If Yaya Toure hadn't left during the winter break, it is estimated that Tottenham Hotspur may win the Champions League in one breath.

On the contrary, looking at other teams, including Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and other teams, they obviously failed to adjust the state of the international players participating in the World Cup. As a result, they either started the league very eye-catchingly, but then declined rapidly, or It's just that after a season, they haven't been able to show their strength and level very well.

Of course, the coaching staff is capable and the players must trust them.

Before Pirlo came to Tottenham Hotspur, he had always heard that Tottenham Hotspur players had a strong sense of trust in the club, which also made it easy for the team's coaching staff to start their work. So on his way to Theobald, he wanted to find out what the secret was.

"Hello, Andre!" Beckham saw Pirlo and walked up. He is the vice captain of the team. He also participated in Pirlo's joining ceremony before and took Pirlo to visit the entire West Obold, introduced everything here for him, and the team captain Thiago Silva is playing with the Brazilian national team in the America's Cup.

"Hello, David!" Pirlo smiled and held out his hand.

Beckham is 36 years old, which is considered an advanced age, but he is still in good condition and he is still so handsome.

"Hi!" Raul also came over, he is also one of the three veterans of Tottenham Hotspur.

Pirlo also shook hands with Raul, then looked at Beckham, "I don't know if I need to do something before training?"

After Beckham and Raul looked at each other, they both laughed, and Beckham even turned his head and waved at a young man in the parking lot who had been staring at them, "Hey, come here, Nick! "

Soon, a shy handsome young man ran over from the crowd. He was estimated to be less than 1.8 meters tall, but he looked very young. He probably had to grow longer in the future. English masculinity.

"Nick Powell, your fan!" Beckham pulled the handsome guy with a smile and pushed him in front of Pirlo, "Before the training session, you have a very important task, Andre, that is to satisfy Let me know what you, a fan, want."

After speaking, Beckham gave another encouragement, "Tell me, Nick, what do you want?"

The handsome boy smirked, a little excited to see his idol, a little excited.

"Please, Nick, it's time for training, hurry up!" Raul also laughed beside him.

Pirlo smiled and nodded, "Okay, Nick, what do you want to do?"

After being encouraged, the kid suddenly raised his head and giggled, "An... Andre, I hope I can take a photo with you, post it on Weibo and WeChat, and let you sign it for me by the way." !" But soon, he shook his head again, "No, it's not just one signature, but several signatures, several of my friends are your fans!"

Pirlo was happy to hear that, his teammates have become his fans, and it seems that he is really old.

While laughing, he casually took out the Cartier pen in his breast pocket, and took the autograph book handed over by Nick Powell. He found that not only his signature, but almost all other players in the autograph book Signatures, one page per person, it seems that this kid is not just a groupie.

"To my teammates, future stars, Nick Powell, Andre Pirlo!"

After Pirlo wrote down his blessing and signature, Nick Powell excitedly took over his autograph book, and at the same time happily took a photo with Pirlo and posted it on his Weibo and WeChat, but Just when he was about to hand out the autograph books given by some other teammates, Ye Qiu appeared in front of them.

"Okay, groupie Nick Powell, those guys who want to get autographs let them find a chance to come to the first team themselves, we will start training soon!"

The voice of Ye Qiu's sudden appearance shocked everyone present. He hardly made any sound, as if he came out of the ground. Nick Powell was not afraid, but smiled shyly, " Got it, head!" After finishing speaking, the whole person ran away directly.

Not to mention, this kid is not slow to run, and looks very agile.

"Don't worry about that group of brats, but many of them are your fans!" Ye Qiu said with a smile after approaching.

Almost as long as he plays in the midfield, no one will not appreciate Pirlo. At least the Italian's calm command and scheduling in the midfield is really second to none in today's football. Even to some extent, Pirlo Better than Harvey.

Of course, in terms of honor, popularity, and even influence, Pirlo is definitely not as good as Harvey, but this is more determined by achievements and media attention, but as long as there are fans watching the game, no one will dislike Pirlo.

"Andre, wait a minute, you go to the research center first, Meier Zeman will arrange a set of temporary training clothes and football boots for you first, don't worry, this is only temporary, and the football boots are also Nike, so don't worry about it. There is a sponsorship issue, and as for the training equipment tailored for you, it will take some time before it will be delivered, so for the time being, you have to make do with it!"

Almost every Tottenham Hotspur player's jersey, boots, shin pads and other training equipment are tailor-made through sponsors, many of which are built according to the player's body shape, and the inside of these training clothes They are specially equipped with a variety of sensors and training equipment, the purpose is to help the team collect some data of players during training.

These sensors will even be used in the game. For example, Raul and Beckham have worn headbands many times, and there is a miniature camera in the headband, which captures every move of the players on the field, their observations, The field of view, running, etc. are all photographed, and these are some of the materials needed for future team training.

Pirlo will do the same. Ye Qiu has already talked to him about this. He has a good relationship with Meierseman and agrees to cooperate with Tottenham Hotspur in this research. After all, he is now Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham players.

And these will be kept secret to the outside world, even Raul and Beckham are playing with miniature cameras, no one knows, and they will not announce any information to the outside world. who.

According to what Ye Qiu said, Pirlo went directly to the research center and met Mayerseman, Demichelis, Peter Brandt and others. In fact, the reason why Ye Qiu was relieved to introduce Pirlo was because of their Recommendations, especially those of Meyers Seman and Demichelis have a certain relationship.

The two former heads of the Milan laboratory know Pirlo's physical condition very well. They both believe that the injury last season will not have any impact on Pirlo. It will be great for AC Milan to let Pirlo go. loss.

After returning to the training ground, Pirlo went directly to the locker room to change into training equipment, and then ran onto the training ground.

At this time, many media reporters from all over the world have gathered around the training ground, and even Tottenham Hotspur's own interview team is among them, because Tottenham Hotspur has now launched its own TV station and official magazine.

Different from those other public training sessions that were always perfunctory and dealt with the media and reporters with some sparse and ordinary training items, Ye Qiu's first training session showed real materials. The layout can be seen clearly.

On the comprehensive training field of the first team, which is much larger than the standard football field, it is divided into different training areas according to different training items. After the players complete a certain training item here, they go directly to the next training session. area, move on to the next exercise, and then move on to the next one when you're done.

And unlike other teams’ training sessions where the same training is performed uniformly, Tottenham Hotspur start all training programs at the same time, but different players perform different items, and almost no one stands on the sidelines to watch .

The whole process is very compact, and the content is also very interesting.

As with all training sessions, starting with a lighter program, Tottenham Hotspur's first training session was running.

Divide into two groups to run, one group is to run from the middle circle to the big penalty area of ​​one goal, but during the running process, the coaching staff set up some obstacles, such as some obstacles that players need to avoid, and some are placed on the grass In the upper circle, players need to precisely control their legs, step into the circle with every step, and then there are some hurdles to practice jumping.

If you just look at it this way, it seems very simple, but if you go to the training in person, you will find that these trainings will put your body in a very strange state, such as avoiding obstacles, which requires sufficient adjustment and balance of your body Ability, while stepping on the circle means that the legs must be flexible enough, and the balance and coordination of the body are also very important, because every time you step on it, the body will change into another posture. If the balance and coordination are not strong enough, the whole person will fall over .

After finally running to the perimeter of the penalty area, another teammate also ran over from the side of the penalty area and passed the ball to you from the top side of the arc. After the past player receives the ball, the passer will defend one-on-one around the top of the key and then hit the goal, which is also part of the training.

Generally speaking, the offensive players receive the ball and attack, and the defensive players pass and defend, which is very targeted.

After completing this project, there are other projects, which are all highly practical training projects, basically one-on-one, and when the players complete these projects one by one, it is almost like going around Make a lap on the training ground, and after returning to the middle circle, start the next cycle immediately.

The entire training program lasted for three to 10 minutes, and almost all the players did it without stopping, and the whole program included everything that might happen in a football game, such as running back and forth, high-speed dribbling, a pair of [-]. Take the ball and get rid of... etc., the content is very rich, and it is very practical.

Many people wonder, why do Tottenham Hotspur players have such a strong one-on-one ability?Why is his ability to quickly pass and catch the ball so good?If they come to watch Tottenham training, they will see that when they train all the training programs well, they can do it too.

Ye Qiu is not afraid of being imitated by others. To be honest, these trainings are just some basic training for Tottenham Hotspur. The key lies in the team's technical and tactical training, especially tactical training. It will not be announced to the public.

After three 10 minutes of high-intensity training, the team immediately transferred to the next training field, and took the opportunity to rest during the transfer, and the next big training event was multiplayer confrontation, two-on-two, three-on-two, or multiplayer. People walking monkeys in a circle are also arranged in a very reasonable and orderly manner, and at the same time very compact.

And the last training item is to conduct six-on-six free confrontation training in the small field next to it. This kind of confrontation training has almost no requirements for offense and defense. The only rule is that each team cannot touch the ball more than three times. A three-legged touch must be a shot, otherwise it is considered a violation.

The requirements for the players are also very high, but all the reporters who came to the scene were surprised to find that Tottenham Hotspur is not only those offensive players, such as Raul, Ribery, Ramsey, Couti Players such as Neo performed well, and even defensive players such as Kompany, Kyle Walker, Varane, and Nastasic on the defensive line played very well.

Some people say that competition is a reflection of training results, and what kind of training can create what kind of competition.

In fact, everyone is touting Ye Qiu's star-making ability, but no one has noticed that Tottenham Hotspur's entire training system, even including the staffing of the coaching staff, is second to none in today's football of.

They use this most scientific and effective training program to build their own players.

But it is a pity that these will not appear in the news media the next day, because no one will pay attention to how they train, and more people are more concerned about these stars.

As for those who want to learn, just arrange for anyone to attend Tottenham Hotspur's coach training class, and they can learn these training items, because these are not advanced things, and they are Tottenham Tottenham have drawn up their own tactical style. Other teams practice like this, but play defensive counterattacks. Is it effective?
In other words, if your player level does not meet this requirement, your training will be of no use at all, but rather a weakening.

Ye Qiu has always said that Tottenham Hotspur has found its own style, and has a mature and stable tactical system, which includes this training system, because it is this system that sets the tone for Tottenham. Nam Hotspur have cultivated one star after another.

Therefore, as long as there is this system, and then continue to improve and improve, it will be able to continuously create stars, so what's the point of selling Cesc Fabregas, David Silva, or even anyone? What are you worried about?

It was just a 10-minute training session, but Pirlo felt that he had begun to trust this club.

Perhaps it was just this training session. Although he was exhausted physically, he deeply felt that if such a team cannot achieve success, then who else in today's football is worthy of success?
