Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 159 The New Season (Second Update Guaranteed)

Chapter 159 The new season (Second update guaranteed)

Chen Yingxiong is having breakfast. Although it is breakfast, it is not a good breakfast, but instant noodles. This thing doesn't take time, but it doesn't have much nutrition. Compared with the breakfast of bacon, ham, omelette, bread, juice, and milk when Christine Cabrera was there, it is of course still far behind, but it is better in that it is simple and effortless. These days, he has been completing dungeons. Twenty-four hours a day is still too little. Of course, cooking is something that can only be done conveniently. This time when he came to Italy from China, he brought a lot of instant noodles with him just so that he could stay at home and finish the dungeon and gain experience to upgrade.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, these things may seem a bit "horrible"... A big star, with an annual salary of several million euros, still eats instant noodles. This life is really unscrupulous.

When Cabrera pushed the door open, she saw Chen Yingxiong carrying a bowl of instant noodles.

And when Chen Yingxiong had just picked up the instant noodles, picked them up with chopsticks, and was about to put them in his mouth, the door was pushed open, and Cabrera appeared in front of him carrying a backpack and pulling a suitcase. There was a bright scene outside the door. The sun poured in from behind her, casting her shadow long on the ground.

Chen Yingxiong turned his head and looked at him in surprise, without changing the posture of his hands. Hold the bowl in one hand, pick up the noodles with the other, open your mouth, and plan to put it into your mouth.

He finished the dungeon so much that he forgot the time, and also forgot that today was the "returning day" that he and Cabrera had agreed upon. At the same time, starting from tomorrow, the team's training camp will officially begin, and he will also go to the team to report.

He looked at Cabrera, who still had clean and handsome short hair. The upper body is a dark green short-sleeved T-shirt, and the lower body is a pair of denim shorts, revealing two long, slender, white legs, and a pair of leather boots at the feet.

There was still no makeup on her face, a pair of sunglasses was pushed up on her hair, and she looked at him quietly with a pair of heroic eyes.

"I'm back, Mr. Chen."

Chen Yingxiong's first reaction was: "Huh? Ah...oh, uh...have you eaten? Do you want some..." Only then did he realize that he was still holding instant noodles in his hand.

Inviting someone to eat instant noodles? It doesn't make sense... It's just like the kind of advertisement where a family of three are happily eating instant noodles around the dining table in a luxuriously decorated open kitchen. You idiot!

"I've already had breakfast, thank you." Cabrera picked up the suitcase and walked in, then put the suitcase aside.

If she had sharper teeth, she might even make fun of the Naples star who eats instant noodles. But being with her is destined to not be such a fun thing.

After experiencing the initial surprise, Chen Yingxiong ignored her and let her pack her luggage. He opened his arms and snorted the Laotan pickled cabbage beef noodles with a strong hometown flavor.

He has eaten instant noodles with this flavor every now and then, and he is not tired of it.

But it’s not unusual for players to eat instant noodles. In the past, it was said that when the Chinese national team went to other places to compete, because they were worried that they would not be used to the food outside, they kept a few large boxes of instant noodles and Lao Gan Ma. Players who were not used to eating and were not full relied on this to fill their stomachs. .

Cabrera is back, and Chen Yingxiong knows that this means his new season has begun.

※ ※ ※

For many people, the new season in the traditional sense starts with the first game of the new season in September. But for Chen Yingxiong, now is the new season. Because training has already started.

The next day Cabrera drove Chen Yingxiong all the way to the Fort Volturno training base 60 kilometers away from Naples, where he also met many teammates. We haven’t seen each other for a holiday, but we are still quite friendly when we meet. The fierce battle with Barcelona last season brought this team together tightly, and the team has unprecedented unity.

Chen Yingxiong signed a sponsorship contract of three million euros per year with Nike, and they naturally knew about it. So when I saw Chen Yingxiong, he first slapped him to show his envy, jealousy and hatred.

Chen Yingxiong was beaten so hard that he could only flee without being able to fight back. They even had to promise to treat the entire team to a meal together before the season, so everyone spared him.

Cabrera watched Chen Yingxiong playing with his teammates, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and then disappeared quickly.

When Chen Yingxiong followed his teammates in, she drove back and picked him up when the team training ended in the afternoon. In the meantime, she had to clean the house. This is her other identity - nanny.

Now she can do this job with peace of mind.

She even gradually accepted this identity deep inside.

The first thing the team does when they start training is weigh-in.

Outside the medical office, there is a very accurate electronic scale. Every player stepped up and down under the watchful eyes of the coaches to see how much weight they had gained during the holiday. If it increases more, it means that you are more indulgent during this holiday, so you have to work harder in training to lose this weight, otherwise I'm sorry, you will not be able to start the game.

This is not a new rule, it is the practice of many teams. The most intuitive way to feel how a person spends this holiday is through weight changes - how can those people who eat and drink unscrupulously not gain so much weight? However, people who live a regular lifestyle will only gain a limited amount of weight even if they gain weight.

However, most players are still confident in their own strength or the speed of losing weight, so this holiday is basically open to fun. Then use the physical training phase of pre-season training to lose this fat.

Therefore, the weight of most players has increased compared with before the holiday, and the magnitude is not small. You don't even need to rely on a scale to do this, you can clearly see it just by looking at their slightly bulging belly.

Of course, there are always exceptions.

Chen Yingxiong went to the last stop and weighed 93 kilograms!

He is two kilograms lighter than before he went on vacation!

"monster!"

"Abnormal!" A group of onlookers' teammates screamed strangely.

Chen Yingxiong knew very well what was going on. It was because of his daily consumption of instant noodles and intense dungeon grinding that he lost weight...

But this is not a good thing for him. Height and weight are powerful weapons as a powerful center, but being light is not necessarily good. Once he eats normally, the weight will return quickly. It basically fluctuates around 95 kilograms, with an error of no more than one kilogram.

The physical fitness coach responsible for recording weight is very satisfied with Chen Yingxiong's data. This is the case every season. Chen Yingxiong is the best player in the team in maintaining physical fitness. From one point of view, the physical fitness coach likes Chen Yingxiong very much. If all players could be as conscious as Chen Yingxiong, his job would be much easier.

Physical fitness is really the foundation of modern professional football. No matter how good your skills are, it is useless without physical fitness. It's a pity that many people still don't understand this. I always feel that I am talented and my physical fitness is nothing. I can just run less on the court.

How can there be such a simple truth?

Modern football's emphasis on running without the ball is the same as in the past. Would you like to run less? Then you just wait to do nothing and then be substituted.

Therefore, players like Chen Yingxiong who consciously exercise their physical fitness during holidays are good players in the eyes of physical fitness coaches. The physical fitness coach also had a very good evaluation of Chen Yingxiong in private. I think it makes sense for him to be the top scorer in Serie A for two consecutive seasons - many of Chen Yingxiong's goals were scored in the last fifteen minutes of the game. Without strong physical support, he would have been able to score in that time period. Capture scoring opportunities, or can he still stay on the pitch? By that time, I can’t run anymore. Want to score a goal? There is no way!

After weighing myself, I also had to do other physical examinations. Especially cardiac examinations.

This is not because Cassano has a heart disease. This is also a routine inspection that has been carried out for a long time. In fact, the Italian Football Federation is the only football association to implement mandatory heart tests in domestic leagues, just to ensure the heart health of these players. Of course, this examination is only effective for those more obvious heart problems. It can't be done for heart defects like Cassano's, which are very subtle and rarely affect normal life. Even this time, St. Lucie Hospital used various advanced instruments and conducted very complex and detailed examinations to find the cause.

This examination can already screen out many obvious heart problems, which is enough to prevent problems before they occur. The Spanish Football Federation is not particular about this aspect and does not conduct routine cardiac examinations. As a result, the tragedies of Puerta and Dani Jarque happened. Real Madrid's star of hope, De La Rede, was also forced to retire early due to heart problems, almost following in the footsteps of Puerta and Dani Jarque.

After the physical examination, Mazzarri appeared in front of everyone with a bad expression, of course because the data on the form was too ugly...

"If you are too overweight, your training volume will be doubled during this period." Naples' head coach said with a serious face. Suddenly many people looked ugly.

And Chen Yingxiong deliberately laughed out loud to avenge his previous photo shoot.

Of course, many people are already thinking about how to get this situation back at the dinner table.

After Mazzarri announced the discipline, the players went back to the locker room to change clothes, and then began physical training under the leadership of the physical coach.

Thousands of fans gathered outside the Fort Volturno training base. These people are real die-hards and came specifically to watch the team train on the first day of the new season.

Seeing the players running out, everyone cheered excitedly.

The entire Naples team begins the new season on this day.

What exactly is waiting for them in the new season?

Will this season leave them with laughter or tears in the end?
