Chapter 862: Bell Is Unable to Adapt (First Update, Please Subscribe!)

The major transfers are still going on, and the transfer of Fabregas is still fermenting.

But for Real Madrid, this has nothing to do with them. They just need to concentrate on preparing for the new season.

Entering the second week of training, they finally started training with the ball.

After a week of physical training without the ball, Mourinho began to personally supervise the further construction of the lineup system.

This season, Real Madrid still focuses on the 4-3-3 lineup system.

This is also the most balanced position in offense and defense at present.

Compared with last season, there are some major adjustments in the midfield position.

At present, Khedira, Alonso and Kaka occupy the main position in the middle, and Di Maria is more of a substitute for Bale.

Mourinho is also more troubled about Di Maria's positioning.

He can play in the middle and as a winger.

But I just can't find a particularly outstanding place.

Bale's transfer has already set up two high-speed forward wingers, Suker and Bale.

In this counterattack system, Di Maria's technical school is somewhat useless.

Therefore, more adjustments should be made to the substitute positions according to different situations.

As for Bale, Real Madrid spent a lot of money to complete the transfer, so naturally they wanted to put him into use immediately.

"The next 30-meter sprint test!"

Mourinho stood on the sidelines, holding a notebook in his hand and shouted: "There are two types of sprint tests, one is sprinting with the ball, and the other is sprinting without the ball."

The players of Real Madrid listened to Mourinho's introduction and nodded slightly.

Not long after, Mourinho began to divide the groups.

Many people expected Suker and Bale to be grouped together. These two are undoubtedly the two fastest players in Real Madrid.

But Mourinho did not make such adjustments.

Bale and Kaka are in one group!

Suker and Benzema are in one group!

Soon, groups of sprint tests began.

First, Ramos and Pepe. Ramos, who was born as a full-back, is faster, but not much faster.

Among the defenders, Srna is undoubtedly the fastest.

After a group of tests, it was Bale and Kaka.

Immediately, everyone gathered around with interest.

Needless to say, Bale is definitely a player synonymous with speed in football. Kaka rarely sprints now, but when he was young, Kaka was also a wind-chasing boy.

Therefore, the sprint test of the two has attracted much attention.

"Who do you think is faster!"

Srna asked Suk.

Suk thought about it.

"If it is running without the ball, Bale should be faster, but with the dribbling of the ball, Kaka should be faster!"

Soon, the two were standing at the starting line.

With Mourinho's whistle, the two ran wildly.

At the moment of starting, Kaka was obviously behind, which showed that Bale was better in explosive power. There was no way, after all, Kaka's age was here.

And when it came to the full-speed sprint stage, Kaka could hardly make up the gap.

At a distance of 30 meters, Bale pulled a gap of two body positions.

In the following sprint with the ball, the two were equal.

Kaka's ability to combine the ball with the ball is better.

Although Bale has undergone transformation, he is not stable enough.

But the two were already very fast.

"Next group!"

Mourinho said.

Immediately, everyone turned their heads to look over.

Suker and Benzema walked to the starting point.

Suker twisted his waist and stretched his leg muscles before standing at the starting point.

Bale also stood on the other side, concentrating on watching.

Speed ​​is definitely his most powerful weapon, and as a speed-type player, Suker is naturally curious about the gap between the two.

At this moment, Mourinho blew the whistle.

Suker's hind leg muscles bulged obviously, and at the moment of pushing off the ground, his whole body rushed forward quickly.

Using only explosive power, Suker successfully pulled out a body position and completed the starting stage. Suker began to sprint at full speed with his head raised, and Benzema arrived late until one second after he rushed into the finish line.

"How can I follow this!"

Benzema's face was full of helplessness.

The gap was already widened at the starting stage, not to mention the full-speed sprint stage.

It can be said that he was almost running behind Suker's ass the whole time.

The following sprint with the ball showed two different pictures.

Suker had a good ability to combine with the ball, and there was almost no sense of lag in the sprint stage, which was very smooth and natural.

On the other hand, Benzema had obvious signs of "knocking the ball".

This also made the distance between the two people wider and wider.

The speed test was over, but Mourinho did not announce the final results, which also disappointed some players.

They also wanted to know who was faster between Suker and Bale.

Even Bale showed a hint of disappointment.

The players returned to the training ground for training. At this time, assistant coach Faria came to Mourinho, squinting his eyes and constantly glancing at the notebook in Mourinho's hand.

Obviously, he was also very curious.

"Want to see the results?"

Mourinho looked forward and asked.

Faria scratched his hair awkwardly and smiled: "I'm still a little curious!"

Mourinho smiled and handed over the notebook.

Faria immediately opened the notebook to see the final results.

"Both are very fast, but when running without the ball, Bell is faster, but when there is the ball, Suker has a clear advantage."

Faria said, looking at the notebook.

This means that Bell is faster, but Suker's ability to combine man and ball is better.

"This is not the key!" Mourinho said with his hands in his pockets; "Look carefully at Suker's results without the ball/with the ball."

Faria lowered his head to compare, and the next second, he exclaimed, "It's only 0.8 seconds off!"

Mourinho nodded; "Normally, with or without the ball, even professional players will have a gap of 2-3 seconds. Some outstanding players can reduce it to less than 2 seconds, but currently this gap can be reduced to less than 2 seconds." Among the players whose gap has been reduced to less than 1 second, apart from Suker, I can only think of Ronaldo!”

"When I was coaching Inter Milan, I was curious about Ronaldo's peak statistics, so I checked the database and I have to say that Ronaldo's various statistics at that time were indeed at the level of an alien."

"I thought that such a player would never appear again in football, but Suker is definitely very close now, and even surpassed Ronaldo in some aspects!"

Faria nodded: "I finally understand why the players defending Suker are in so much pain. This kind of man-ball combination ability, even if they attack at 70% speed during dribbling, is enough to give them a headache. What's more, after Su Ke changed direction, he started at full speed!"

Mourinho nodded.

Faria continued: "So, you want to train Bale to become a player like Suker?"

"Gareth can't do it!" Mourinho shook his head.

"I can help him adjust his posture and dribbling method, and with his own efforts, it can be reduced to 2 seconds at most, but to go further, what is needed is talent!"

Faria sighed: "What a difference of one second!"

In competitive sports, a difference of one second can make a huge difference.

Bell worked hard to reduce the gap between sprinting with the ball and sprinting at full speed to 2 seconds, but he still has a 1 second gap with Suker.

This second is like a chasm!

You can't make up for it through hard work, you can only rely on talent.

And does Bell have this talent?

"After lunch, we will start the competition in the afternoon. The amount of training in the next week will not be too heavy. The following players will go to the physical therapy room to receive muscle relaxation massage immediately after eating!"

Mourinho simply arranged various matters before announcing the dissolution.

Suk first entered the locker room, rinsed his feet, and then went to the cafeteria wearing slippers.

Real Madrid's canteen has a rich menu.

Here are all the nutrients the players need.

Suk took the dinner plate and chose a few of his favorite foods, then came and sat down next to Srna.

"Your food intake has decreased a lot!"

Srna said looking at Suk's dinner plate.

Suk shrugged: "Do you think I'm still an adolescent?"

In the past, Su Ke had a large appetite due to malnutrition and the need for rapid growth. After each training session, he felt as if he could eat a whole cow.

But now, with the end of growth, the food intake has returned to normal.

In addition, Su Ke consciously controls his weight, so he does not eat too much.

"Do you think we can still win consecutively this season?"

Pepe came over and sat next to Suk and asked.

"Last season, we won 38 consecutive rounds and won the championship. We still have to try our best to continue this season, but..."

Srna looked around at the players who hurriedly finished their meals and headed to the physical therapy room.

Among them are Alonso, Kaká, Ramos, Marcelo and other players.

“Are they injury concerns?”

It's not just a matter of massage. During training, Mourinho also conducted some individual training for these people.

As players, they know very well that these are restorative exercises.

Perhaps, Real Madrid's current state is indeed not as full as before.

But it's understandable, after all, last season Real Madrid was at its peak in terms of morale, state and all aspects.

They also avoided injury problems very well and did not cause too much damage to the team, so they won the Triple Crown.

But after the intense season, the burden on the body was very heavy. Although I recovered a little during the holidays, I obviously did not recover well.

What's more, before the start of the league, there are still Spanish Super Cup and European Cup qualifiers to play.

"I heard that the Argentinian coach of Atletico Madrid took the team to Los Angeles, the United States, for a closed training camp."

Pepe whispered: "Two days ago, I spoke to Thiago. He told me that after the team assembled, they started training. Although he didn't know the specific content of the training, he felt that they were in pain every day."

Srna shrugged: "We are not much better, Pintus' physical training is also painful."

"But I'm very curious about Atletico Madrid's performance this season!" Marcelo said; "Don't forget, we almost overturned in the game against them last season!"

Atletico Madrid at that time gave them the feeling that it was difficult to deal with.

Very difficult!

But this is also the result of the short-term takeover of the Argentine coach Diego Simeone.

Therefore, after this season, Atletico Madrid may begin to gradually threaten them.

The team members are very vigilant.

Su Ke was also very satisfied.

Before that, Atletico Madrid was not too outstanding. The previous ‘Super Laco’, Villarreal and Sevilla had threatened Real Madrid and Barcelona’s dominance in La Liga.

But the situation is different.

At that time, Barcelona and Real Madrid had not yet reached their peak, so there was an opportunity.

But now and in the future are different.

Facing two monster-level clubs, Simeone’s iron-blooded Atletico Madrid is purely dead-end!

Even under the pressure of the two super clubs, they won the La Liga championship twice and reached the Champions League final many times, which shows their coaching ability.

But the current Atletico Madrid is not a concern.

They have not reached their true peak.

Villa is still in Barcelona and Griezmann has not arrived.

The back line has not been fully built.

Therefore, for Real Madrid, the threat is still Barcelona!

Now they have survived Barcelona’s peak universe team period, but there will be MSN period in the future, and the iron-blooded Atletico Madrid will also have to overcome the hurdle.

Look at Europe!

The Southern King Bayern Munich, Dortmund's youth storm, the resurgent Juventus, Klopp's Red Army wave and Guardiola's Manchester City.

These are opponents that need to be vigilant and concerned.

Bale did not eat much lunch, he wanted to keep his physical condition in a very relaxed state.

This is his first team competition in Real Madrid, and it is also the beginning of his integration into Real Madrid, so he needs to be prepared.

Before that, Mourinho had personally explained the tactics of Real Madrid to him.

Mourinho's attitude towards him was very enthusiastic, showing a very intimate attitude, even to the extent that he was a little flattered.

But Bale had no time to take care of these. For him, the key is to quickly integrate into the team and ensure the starting position.

He came to Real Madrid not to mix a European qualification in the league like Tottenham.

Since he joined Real Madrid, the club has been constantly telling him that their goal is the championship!

This idea is almost instilled all the time.

The championship that was once out of reach at Tottenham is indeed very real in Real Madrid.

In the afternoon, after an hour's break, the competition finally started.

Two groups, main players vs. substitutes.

Bale was assigned to the main group.

Wearing a blue vest representing the main players, Bale could clearly feel the strong hostile eyes from the substitutes.

After all, for these substitutes, Bale is a sudden competitor, and also an opponent they must defeat on their way to the main team.

Suker is out of reach, but Bale, they can still challenge him.

There are even some people waiting to see how Bale digests it.

Although Bale joined with a high transfer fee, for some Real Madrid players, he is still a country bumpkin who has never seen the world and doesn't know how to survive in a wealthy club.

Bale also intends to slap these guys hard!

Soon, the lineups of both sides were divided.

Although it is said that the main players are VS substitutes, the back line of the substitutes is the main members.

Bale played as a right winger in this game.

Modern football is mostly played by reverse-footed forwards, left-footed players play on the right, and right-footed players play on the left.

Suker and others are all-around players.

Bale used to play on the left.

He plays on the left with his left foot, so he is more familiar with the left-wing style. However, in Real Madrid, Suker occupies the left wing, so Bale can only be transferred to the right, and Bale has nothing to say about this.

Although he wants to play on the left, he cannot be allowed without the bonus of performance.

After all, neither Real Madrid nor Mourinho wants to fall out with Suker, the core player.

The players of both sides are in place.

The competition started soon.

After the kick-off, the ball began to move to the right.

Mourinho instructed that in order to integrate Bale into the team, they would be more inclined to attack on the right.

Bale has a strong desire to perform, so he wants to break through every time he holds the ball, but it is difficult to get the result he wants.

Mourinho put Srna on the opposite side of Bale to put pressure on Bale.

If he cannot break through Srna's defensive point, then Bale cannot grow.

The competition continued, and Mourinho and Faria watched the game off the court.

"Bale plays too independently!" Faria frowned.

Mourinho: "He regards himself as the core of the attack."

After all, this guy played like this in Tottenham, so this habit cannot be corrected immediately in a short time.

However, Bale is in a confrontation match after all, just to solve these problems.

"Bale! Pass more!"

Faria shouted.

Bale also felt the pressure from Srna at this time.

Just like the Champions League last season, Srna still put pressure on Bale steadily, and with the help of his teammates, his offensive channel was blocked.

Bang!

While Bale wanted to dribble the ball quickly, Srna suddenly stretched out his foot to break the ball.

The substitute team launched a counterattack, and through Di Maria's shot, they got a corner kick.

In the corner kick, Ramos suddenly jumped up and headed the ball into the goal.

The substitute team led by one goal!

"Hey! Let's show the other team some strength!"

Ramos waved his arms excitedly: "Defense! Hold on for the next ten minutes!"

Because it was a confrontation match, there were only 30 minutes between the first and second halves.

In the last ten minutes of the first half, the substitute team relied on tenacious defense to resist the main team's attack again and again.

What's more, Bale slowed down the rhythm, causing the main team's attack to be unable to advance.

During the period, Suker also tried a set-piece, but was saved by Casillas.

In the end, at the end of the first half, the substitute team led the main team 1:0.

After a confrontation match, the main players played a little depressed.

Even some players looked at Bale with doubtful eyes.

No matter how expensive you are, if you can't play well, your teammates will naturally look down on you.

Suker was also a little unhappy, but this is a process of running-in.

Bale was the core of Tottenham, and suddenly changed a lot of things when he came to Real Madrid, so he naturally needed a process of adaptation.

Don't worry!

Take your time!

Suk is patient with Bale because as long as this guy plays well, he will be one of his best assistants.
