Chapter 68 You Are a Good Player, but I only Want Li Ang
The lively 10-11 season is over.
Because before the Italian Cup final officially started, several major European leagues and cups had already ended, and even the Champions League final ended on May 28.
Therefore, once the Italian Cup ended on May 30, it also meant the official arrival of the off-season.
Li Ang said his final goodbye to Milan fans.
As Allegri said, all the memories between him, Milan, and Milan fans were pleasant and relaxing.
The Italian domestic double crown season achievement was also dazzling enough. At least in the games that Li Ang could play, he helped Milan win the final championship.
There is no need to be so sad. Even if there are tears mixed in, it is just a small episode.
When he said goodbye to his teammates in Milan at last, Li Ang also gained more precious friendships in his reluctance.
When the plane left the ground and left Milan, Li Ang suppressed the emotions that were still surging in his chest and began to think about the training arrangements for the off-season.
He originally planned to go back to China and rest in his hometown for a week or two, and then go to the provincial capital to find a training ground and professional trainers for special training.
But later he asked his father to inquire in the provincial capital, and the news he got gradually gave up his previous idea.
The price is easy to talk about. He has a lot of money now. The euro is still very strong these days. It is no problem to pay the venue fee and training fee for half a month in China.
The main problem lies in the venue and professional trainers.
Li Ang's requirements are a bit "too high". Finding venues and personnel according to his requirements is basically impossible in his hometown of the provincial capital.
At this stage, he can only go to the training base of Coach Xu next to the capital or Shanghai.
So his initial plan is basically scrapped.
During the week or two of resting at home, he has to reconsider where to go to solve the special training.
"It's difficult."
Leon scratched his head and thought for a while. When he had no clue, he simply stopped thinking about it. He closed his eyes and clicked on the system panel in his mind.
The bonus points for winning the Serie A and the Italian Cup have been issued before, a total of 700 points.
This half season, he got nearly 300 points in Serie A. He played two games in the Italian Cup, and the win points of the two games and the league win points added up to barely 300 points.
Fortunately, he had a surplus of nearly 350 points before, plus the points from the last goal assist, which was more than enough to open a diamond-level talent fragment card.
However, he had spent 200 points when he used the ability value lock function to open a gold-level talent fragment card.
Now if he starts a diamond-level talent fragment card in this way, the points will not be enough.
Fortunately, he fiddled with it last night and found the equipment recycling section in the mall.
After selling the "Broken Powerful Leg Guards" at a low price, Li Ang got another 20 points, and finally gathered the points required for this card draw.
At this time, he directly opened the talent card pool and spent 1,000 points to buy a diamond-level talent fragment card.
Seeing that there were only a little over 200 points left, Li Ang also felt a pain in his flesh.
After taking a deep breath, he directly chose to lock the physical ability value to open this diamond-level talent fragment card.
When the last 200 points were almost cleared, the talent fragment card flashed a dazzling and almost transparent light.
Li Ang's heart was pounding, and then he tried to look closely, but he almost bit his tongue in reality.
"Nedved's 2002-03 season physical talent fragment, talent value: 98 (full value 100, host's current physical value 87); bonus experience: On how to reasonably distribute physical energy on both offense and defense for a front midfielder with defensive ability."
Li Ang opened his eyes, suppressed his excitement, clenched his fists and waved them in front of him.
The training problems that had troubled him before seemed to be no longer a worry at this moment.
Because he decided.
Reduce the rest time from two weeks to ten days, and then fly directly to Spain!
He will shamelessly ask Uncle Bird to help him find the best physical trainer.
Work hard!
※※※
After returning to his hometown, Li Ang did not do any training during the ten-day rest period except getting up early every day to run with the ball.
His body got enough rest and self-recovery, but he never really relaxed mentally.
It was still because of his reputation.
Ten days ago, when Li Ang returned home, he just lay down and had a day of peace, and someone from the county came.
The staff, who didn't know how to address them, accompanied some kind-looking leaders to his home, holding hands and praising them, which made him confused.
Then a group of reporters who were said to be from the city came to interview him.
It was okay up to here, after all, they were leaders and TV stations from his hometown, so Li Ang didn't put on airs and cooperated directly.
But the reporters and onlookers who swarmed in the next few days really made Li Ang a little unbearable.
On the fourth day of rest, Li Ang simply drove back to his hometown in the countryside far away from the county with his parents.
But Li Ang hadn't been quiet for two days, and people came to the town again.
Under this situation, he really couldn't rest well mentally. In the end, he didn't even visit his alma mater in the town. After staying at home for ten days, he immediately rushed to the city's airport with his suitcase.
So when Channel 5's reporter team rushed to Li Ang's hometown step by step, Li Ang was already suffering from jet lag in the hotel in Madrid, trying to hold on to sleep.
Mourinho did not expect that Li Ang would come to Madrid so early, and he was also surprised after hearing Li Ang's request.
"Are you sure that you will be doing physical training starting tomorrow? But you have just finished your season less than two weeks ago, so you don't want to take a rest?"
"I've rested enough. Boss, is there a good physical trainer you can recommend to me? Money is not an issue. The special training time is about twenty days. I will give him a generous remuneration that exceeds the market price."
"You definitely want the best physical trainer."
"I am sure."
After confirming Li Ang's specific request, Mourinho finally agreed to help him find a physical coach, but he also had a request.
That is, Li Ang's additional training must be carried out while undergoing regular physical examinations.
Mourinho will then send professional medical personnel to take charge of this matter.
If the medical staff's physical examination report does not allow Li Ang to perform high-intensity physical training, Li Ang must stop and take a good rest.
Faced with Mourinho's request, Li Ang naturally agreed readily and directly.
Just kidding, it's just a physical examination.
In twenty days, he can use the intermediate physical recovery potion given by the system at least twice, plus the high-level physical recovery potion he prescribed before, which can be used five times in total without time limit.
This is almost as often as the physical recovery potion can be used once every three days. He didn't believe that the physical coach Mourinho found could really squeeze him dry under such circumstances!
Two days later, Li Ang looked at a bald middle-aged coach who walked up to him accompanied by Mourinho and Zidane, and his brain immediately shut down.
"Hello, Leon, I heard that you can speak Italian, so I communicated with you directly in Italian. You did a great job in Milan last season. I must first congratulate you on your achievements in Italy."
The not-tall, bald, middle-aged coach was very talkative. He patted Li Ang on the arm and praised Li Ang with a smile.
"Boy, I asked Qi Dan to invite the best physical trainer for you. Then don't complain to me again."
Mourinho made a joke, and Li Ang, who was shyly communicating with Zidane at the moment, also looked bitter and did not dare to say anything big.
The bald man in front of me is no ordinary person. He is Pintus, who later made great contributions to Real Madrid's three consecutive Champions Leagues!
It takes less than half an hour to train Guo Feng to be a ruthless person. This level is not something that Li Ang can still find fault with.
Of course, if you invite this great man who is currently highly praised in the industry, Li Ang will also have a lot of blood.
After all, he usually only works for the club, and it is also the offseason. If it weren't for the sake of Zidane and Mourinho, he really wouldn't take this job.
After readily spending a total of 80,000 euros for training, food and accommodation for twenty days, Li Ang had no ink and started a low-intensity warm-up training with Pintus at the rented training ground that afternoon.
Well, this training session was still free of charge, but Pintus also used just two hours of low- to medium-intensity recovery training to let Li Ang see his professionalism.
After the training, after a thorough physical therapy massage, Li Ang said goodbye to Pintus.
The two made an appointment for training time tomorrow morning. In the next twenty days, they will use tomorrow's schedule and training time as a fixed template to complete a total of two cycles of physical training.
When Zidane said goodbye in the afternoon, he specially told Li Ang to be mentally prepared, and he listened.
But on the morning of June 14, which was Pintus’ first formal physical training class, Li Ang persisted for thirty-eight minutes, and then,
He vomited.
It's so painful to vomit!
Pintus was also satisfied and amused, and kept patting Li Ang on the back, indicating to him to slow down first.
Li Ang blushed for a rare moment. Less than forty minutes had passed on the first day of training, and he was actually vomited right away!
It was really embarrassing in his opinion.
You said that although Guofeng was often ridiculed by fans in future generations and could only survive Pintus for less than half an hour, he didn't vomit at least.
What's going on with him?
In the future, if fans know this story of his, why not make up several jokes to laugh at him!
"I just like to test the players' training tolerance limits in the first training session. If you can last for almost 40 minutes before throwing up, your performance is actually quite good."
Lord Pintus saw that Li Ang still looked shy, so he couldn't help but smile and comfort him.
Li Ang didn't believe it at first, thinking that Pintus was just comforting him. As a result, he did feel a decrease in training volume in the following training sessions.
Of course, it was only better than the first half-hour of devil training, but it was also much more intense than any physical training Li Ang had ever received before.
When it was time to take a break for lunch, Li Ang lost his appetite due to training and just wanted to drink more water.
But under Pintus's strict requirements, he still managed to finish his rationed lunch.
After lunch break until 3pm, the second training session of the day began. Pintus resumed the intensity rhythm of devilish training, which lasted just 40 minutes.
At the end of the training, Li Ang only felt his legs and hands trembling slightly, but fortunately, although he also felt nauseous this time, he held back and did not vomit.
The first day of training had not yet ended, and Li Ang was trained half to death by Pintus like a little white mouse, but Pintus was very satisfied with Li Ang's performance.
"Your physical upper limit will be very high, because I feel that you did not directly exhaust yourself after breaking your limit, but gradually adapted to the new training intensity in the process of persistence. To be honest, this situation is very rare. Perhaps the young Nedved had a similar physique to you. He later became a well-known iron man in the football world. I think you also have this potential."
While helping Li Ang with physical therapy and massage, Pintus became interested and kept giving Li Ang chicken blood, asking him to fully cooperate with him to complete the 20-day training and never give up halfway.
At this time, Li Ang didn't want to talk at all, but he still complained in his heart.
"I got the physical talent that Nedved had when he was in his prime. How could it be different from his?"
When Pintus almost made him fall asleep, Leon felt a heavy pat on his shoulder.
"After the ice bath, you still have to eat the post-training meal. You are not allowed to sleep now. Hurry up and take an ice bath first."
Leon, who was a little more clear-headed, got up and muttered, and followed Pintus to the bathroom.
The large bathroom that Leon rented in the training ground had been simply renovated by Pintus.
One of the two large wooden barrels similar to bathtubs placed outside the shower room was filled with ice water mixture, and the other was filled with cold water.
Another staff member hired by Leon at Pintus' request also nodded to the two after measuring the water temperature.
First, it was a cold shower. After two minutes, Leon, who was much clearer, was encouraged by Pintus to get directly into the smaller wooden barrel full of ice water mixture.
As expected, a loud scream came out of Leon's mouth instantly.
Shivering, Li Ang was about to get up from the bucket full of ice water and sit up slowly, but Pintus pushed him down again.
"Twenty seconds! Hold on!"
Li Ang was about to struggle subconsciously, but then he seemed to remember something and forced himself to stay in the ice water that was probably only three or four degrees.
When the twenty seconds were up, Pintus motioned Li Ang to get into another wooden barrel filled with only cold water.
The water temperature in this barrel was actually less than fifteen degrees, but it was much "warmer" for Li Ang than before.
And this time he stayed for more than twenty seconds.
"This will help speed up your metabolism and help your congested joints to reduce swelling faster. Try to stay as long as possible this time. How do you feel now?"
Li Ang smiled and nodded at Pintus. He was too tired to talk just now, and now he was too cold to talk.
After finally finishing the ice bath and forcing himself to finish a "rich" post-training meal at around 6pm, Li Ang called a taxi home as Pintus reminded him not to oversleep tomorrow.
In the original plan, Li Ang also planned to practice a few more sets of fixed-point long passes after finishing the physical training.
But now
Well, let's rest first. He really can't squeeze out more strength and energy from his body to continue training.
Now thinking of his previous confidence that he would not be beaten down by the physical trainer, Li Ang shook his head helplessly.
Although he was busy in the morning and afternoon today, the training time was actually only about 80 minutes in total. Pintus spent more time on his warm-up and post-match physical therapy recovery.
But in just these short 80 minutes, he was directly drained of his physical strength.
Thinking of the two-hour training time every day in the second phase of Pintus' training plan, Li Ang felt his hands and feet trembling subconsciously again.
After 8 o'clock in the evening, Li Ang, who couldn't hold on any longer, went to bed and fell into a deep sleep.
When the alarm clock rang at 8:30 the next morning, Li Ang, who still felt a little heavy, rubbed his sleepy eyes and struggled to sit up from the bed.
He used the intermediate physical recovery potion without hesitation. After feeling that his physical strength had recovered by 80% or 90%, Li Ang's mind seemed to gradually wake up.
After washing and eating breakfast quickly, Li Ang finally arrived at the training ground on time before 9:30 in the morning.
"Good morning, Li Ang, you look pretty good. Do you feel any discomfort?"
"Still a little tired, but it doesn't matter. Let's start today's training directly, sir!"
Li Ang's mental state, which seemed to be fine, made Pintus marvel, but at the same time, Pintus's interest became more and more intense.
After the hard morning training, Li Ang, who was shaking with his hands and feet again, ate his rice.
He didn't vomit today, and he didn't feel as nauseous as yesterday. Well, it's a big improvement.
After the afternoon training, there was another two-hour physiotherapy ice bath. After dinner, Li Ang and Pintus said goodbye and returned home in a depressed state.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Li Ang went to bed on time.
The third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day.
As the physical training went smoothly, Pintus became more and more interested, and at the same time, his requirements for Li Ang became more and more strict.
Under his strict training, Li Ang felt the slight improvement in his physical fitness, and he was more determined to finish this rare extra training!
In the first ten days of training, he used an intermediate physical fitness recovery potion once and an advanced physical fitness recovery potion twice.
But every time he recovered 80% to 90% of his physical fitness, he would be knocked down by Pintus with more intense training on the training ground.
After entering the second cycle of the training, the intensity was slightly higher than before.
But Li Ang only used an advanced physical fitness recovery potion once in the first five days of training in the second stage, and then he just tried to find the feeling of breaking through the limit.
Because his physical fitness value has broken through to 89, and he is only one step away from the 90 value mark.
So he decided to break through the limit more while he can still hold on and not hurt himself.
Pintus may also feel that Li Ang's physical fitness has reached a threshold, so he also adjusted the training method in time.
In the adjusted multi-frequency short-term extreme training mode, Li Ang was really tortured to the point of being unable to bear it several times.
But under the encouragement of Pintus who was more anxious and hoarse than him, he finally gritted his teeth and persevered!
On July 2, on the evening of the 18th day of physical training, Li Ang finally successfully broke through his physical data to 90!
At the moment when the system prompt sounded, Li Ang lay on the grass and laughed subconsciously.
Recalling the hard training of the past 20 days, remembering his gritted teeth and sprinting to break through his own limits again and again.
Those pains, those endurances that can be called torture, after enduring these, he finally achieved his goal!
"It's worth it"
Li Ang murmured, and then he suddenly remembered in the roar of Pintus that his training today seemed to be not completed yet? !
After getting up and apologizing quickly, he quickly continued the next group of training. Li Ang was really in pain and happy at this time. He didn't feel tired no matter how tired he was. Seeing this, Pintus couldn't help but doubt the training intensity he set.
Fortunately, Li Ang was exhausted like a dead dog in the end, which dispelled Pintus's doubts. The bald boss didn't consider continuing to increase the intensity for Li Ang.
The last two days of training finally ended smoothly after Li Ang used up the intermediate physical recovery potion again.
Li Ang almost shed tears when Pintus blew the whistle to end the 20-day physical training!
He hugged Pintus directly with emotion and gratitude.
Although he only improved his physical fitness by three points in the end, you have to know that the threshold of 90 ability values has stopped many so-called "first-class" players.
This is a qualitative improvement. After crossing the threshold of 90, his physical fitness will usher in a wave of rapid numerical growth.
As long as he is willing to work hard, he believes that by the end of next season, his physical fitness value should be able to reach the top level of 93 or even 94 in the football world.
The next special training will be when he will break through the 95 ability value mark!
So Li Ang is really grateful to Pintus. Without the strict requirements of this bald boss, he would never have achieved such a physical breakthrough in 20 days.
Besides, next year, he may have to ask this great god to urge him to break through the new physical fitness level. This will build a good relationship, and then he can make a request, right?
After enthusiastically praising Pintus and treating him to a big meal in a nearby hotel, Li Ang and Pintus hugged each other warmly and said goodbye.
Of course, Li Ang also added Pintus's phone number to his mobile phone.
Mourinho, who "remotely supervised" Li Ang to complete the physical training, finally felt relieved after receiving a call from Pintus in the evening.
As for the effect of the extra training, if Pintus said it was good, then it was good, but Mourinho was most worried about Li Ang's health.
"He has a very fast recovery ability. If it wasn't so, I wouldn't have planned the subsequent high-intensity extreme training. Don't worry, I also watch him do physical therapy every day. After he rests for three or five days, he will definitely appear in front of you alive and kicking."
"That's good, Antonio. Thank you for your help this time. Then, what did I propose to you last time?"
"I need to go back to Italy to discuss it with my family. I will reply to you before your training starts, Jose."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
After finishing the conversation with Pintus, Mourinho was in a good mood.
He was about to call Li Ang to ask about his feelings about the training this time, but a caller number that suddenly broke into his eyes immediately made the smile on his face disappear.
After pondering for a moment, Mourinho coughed twice and pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Jose, is there really no room for maneuver in this matter? Are you still holding on to your idea from a week ago? Is this idea so firm that you refuse to call my son?"
"Mr. Mustafa!"
Mourinho listened to the increasingly excited tone of the man on the other end of the phone, and he couldn't help but frown and interrupted the other party.
"I think I have made things very clear in the meeting with you a week ago. I had already thought about it very clearly at that time, so repeating the content of the conversation at that time is not very meaningful to you or me."
"So? My call to you now is meaningless, right?"
"Although I'm sorry to answer you like this, I can only say, yes, either accept my suggestion, or you can choose the second path. The club will not impose any restrictions."
After Mourinho said this, he concentrated on waiting for the decision that the other party might make.
But after a noisy, brief and intense discussion ended, a slightly aggrieved and angry young voice rang on Mourinho's cell phone again.
"Boss, is this really all my status in the team is? I was asked to come on the bench at the beginning of the season and I did so. Later on, I had no complaints when Kaká came on the bench. I won the La Liga assists title this season! The fans don’t have any objections to me, why! Why are you so stubborn and continue to deprive me of my starting position next season? Is a midfielder who can only defend more important than me?”
After the young man's venting words ended, Mourinho's face turned completely cold.
He can actually accept players talking to him about the main position.
His arrangements, his tactics, his ideas, he can communicate with the players without reservation.
But he couldn't accept the other party communicating with him in such a venting way, especially when he belittled another player he had always been optimistic about!
After taking a deep breath, Mourinho decided to end this meaningless conversation directly.
His heart was as hard as stone, and his tone was frosty.
"Mesut, you are very good, you are a good player. I am sorry and sorry to communicate with you in this atmosphere, but you have to understand one thing."
"Leon's loan decision last year was his own decision. For me, he is a more suitable starting candidate than you, and it has been since then, so it is not that you used your so-called performance to squeeze him away. It was his own request, and I fulfilled his request at that time, that’s all.”
"To all coaches, you are a good player, and my evaluation of you remains the same as before, but now I only want Li Ang!"
There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and after a burst of heavy breathing, the other party seemed to have hung up the phone.
Mourinho listened to the busy signal from the receiver, shook his head and put the phone back on the table.
He didn't call Li Ang anymore because he went to Li Ang's residence in person the next morning.
Photos of the two chatting and laughing while dining in the city at noon quickly spread throughout Spain.
Real Madrid fans were also delighted when they saw the report.
Li Ang's performance in Milan last year really exceeded their expectations. With his smooth return this summer, Real Madrid's midfield will naturally be further strengthened.
However, some people who are angry cannot bear to see such news at all.
Of the two paths given by Mourinho, he doesn't want to be a substitute, so now he has the only option to leave.
On July 6, just as Real Madrid's pre-season training for the new season was about to begin, a piece of news broke from Paris that shocked the entire French Ligue 1 and most of La Liga.
A certain attacking midfielder who performed extremely well at Real Madrid last season and won La Liga's assists title had a transfer scandal with Paris Saint-Germain!
Because the photos of his father and agent meeting in Paris with the current chairman of Paris Saint-Germain Nasser have spread all over Paris.
Real Madrid's public relations department was activated urgently, publishing several pieces of information to refute the rumors, and announced that the midfielder was "not for sale" by Real Madrid.
On July 7, another reporter from Paris revealed that the midfielder's agent had already negotiated a contract with Paris Saint-Germain and was waiting for Real Madrid's nod to release him.
Many Real Madrid fans who were originally confident that their players would not be successfully seduced by Paris Saint-Germain also panicked after seeing relevant reports.
On the morning of July 8, Real Madrid once again spoke through official Twitter, once again emphasizing that the midfielder is Real Madrid's "not for sale" and the player is also in Real Madrid's future plans.
This made most Real Madrid fans feel at ease, and in turn they criticized the sports reporters who "spoke carelessly" in Paris.
But on the morning of July 9, the development of the matter shocked all Real Madrid fans.
Because the photo of the player himself appearing in Paris was reported by the French media!
At noon, "Le Parisien" exclusively reported that Real Madrid had reached an agreement with Paris Saint-Germain on the transfer of the popular midfielder, and it will be officially announced soon.
Real Madrid fans were dumbfounded, but before they could make any protest, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain released official announcements at 1 p.m.
In another exclusive report, Le Parisien shockingly disclosed the transfer fee of the midfielder!
"40 million!" The new La Liga assists king lands in Paris! 》
From July 6th to July 9th, in just four days, Paris and Real Madrid finalized all the final transfer details!
This period also includes communication time between the players and Real Madrid and Paris.
For a transfer deal worth about 40 million euros, it took four days to get the official announcement. The speed can only be described as ridiculously fast.
At the same time, the Middle Eastern tycoon who just took over Paris Saint-Germain also used his abundant financial resources to make countless French Ligue 1 fans exclaim "Wolf is coming!".
For 40 million, just buy a 22-year-old midfielder who has only played for Real Madrid for one year. The French media dare not make a conclusion on whether Paris Saint-Germain will make a profit.
But the Western media here are lamenting that Real Madrid has made a lot of money!
After all, according to the transfer data disclosed by various media last summer, Real Madrid only spent 15-18 million euros to introduce the attacking midfielder.
Now, after one year, he was sold for 40 million euros. Even if the salary of the attacking midfielder was deducted, Real Madrid could make at least 17 million euros in net profit!
It was a huge profit!
And in the protests and dissatisfaction of Real Madrid fans after they reacted.
Mourinho, however, took Li Ang and several outstanding young players transferred from Castilla II to start the summer training camp in advance.
On the morning of July 11, the players of Real Madrid's first team rushed to the Valdebebas training base before nine o'clock.
Valdebebas, which had been empty for more than a month, became lively again.
In the envious eyes of Morata and Jesse, Li Ang, who was not much older than them, had already greeted the other Real Madrid first team players with a warm hug.
"Oh, little lion, I miss you so much! After you left, I never had a good forward run again."
Marcelo had just finished his physical examination and ran over with a smile and cheers when he saw Li Ang on the training ground.
"Brother, be gentle. My God, you have gained so much weight this summer. Aren't you afraid that the boss will punish you to run laps?"
Li Ang caught Marcelo who gave him a big hug, but then he complained and motioned the brother to get off him first.
Ramos was the second to enter the training ground, and he smiled knowingly when he saw Li Ang.
"Little lion! Long time no see."
"Ah, hello Sergio!"
After the two of them high-fived and hugged, Pepe, Ronaldo and the new aid Coentrao who transferred from Benfica to Real Madrid a few days ago also came to greet him.
Li Ang's greetings became more and more frequent.
"Master Pei, you look a little younger."
"Cristiano, your skin is so evenly tanned, you look handsome."
"Angel (Di Maria)! Did you have a good vacation? You played very well last season."
"Teacher!"
When it came to Brother Long, Li Ang didn't say anything polite. The two often contacted each other on the phone, and there was no sense of unfamiliarity when they met.
"You played well in Milan last season. Did you gain anything?"
After Alonso and Li Ang ended their hug, he also asked with a smile.
"I feel okay, but not as good as when I played with you~"
"You kid."
Alonso slapped Li Ang on the shoulder, and felt that Li Ang's muscles under his training suit seemed to be stronger than half a year ago, and nodded with satisfaction.
After seeing each other again after half a year, the sense of distance that everyone thought would appear also disappeared quickly invisibly in Li Ang's praise.
After everyone had undergone physical examinations, Mourinho led the team to the airport directly on the club's bus.
Real Madrid will officially start pre-season summer training today.
The schedule is similar to last year's. First, we will go to the United States, then return to Europe to complete two warm-up matches, and finally go to Li Ang's home country China for a trip to China.
From the perspective of preparation, the trip to the United States and China is actually unnecessary, and Mourinho personally would not like it.
But from the perspective of commercial promotion, these two trips are crucial for Real Madrid.
Between pre-season preparation and Real Madrid's commercial promotion, Mourinho can only try his best to communicate and reconcile with the club.
For Real Madrid players, going to the United States first and then to China is a good experience.
It's not a public travel, but in the intervals between training and warm-up matches, they can go out for a walk and feel the customs and customs of two countries that are different from Europe.
After arriving in Los Angeles, Real Madrid still stayed in the hotel where they stayed during last year's summer training, and even the training ground has not changed.
Li Ang "revisited the old place", but his mood was very different from last year.
At that time, he just wanted to run away early. When Nacho persuaded him, he was still thinking that it didn't matter even if he completely transferred away from Real Madrid.
How could he have thought that after one season, he had been designated by Mourinho as one of the starting midfielders for the new season?
"It's a pity that Nacho didn't participate in the summer training with the first team this year, otherwise I really want to see what his expression is."
After a rather "unfriendly" fantasy, Li Ang is increasingly looking forward to the new season's La Liga and Champions League games.
On the afternoon of July 12, Real Madrid started the first formal training session of this year's summer training. Ma Pengpeng and Guo Feng, who did not meet the physical test standards before, had to start with running laps very sadly.
The other Real Madrid players who were doing recovery training normally were also surprised to see Li Ang who completed the training with a relaxed look on his face.
"Don't tell me that you have maintained the same amount of training during the offseason as during the game?"
Suspicious Di Maria asked Li Ang directly, and Li Ang, who smiled but did not speak, also gave his answer silently.
Even Ronaldo, the crazy person who practices more, shook his head and was speechless.
No matter how self-disciplined he is, it is impossible for him to maintain the same training intensity during the off-season as during the game.
Even if Li Ang only practiced for more than ten days, he is still an absolute ruthless person!
After all, after a whole season of "destruction", he still has the energy and physical strength to practice more without resting for a full month. What else can he be if not a ruthless person?
With such a self-disciplined model, the training atmosphere in the Real Madrid team has also become more enthusiastic.
Altentop and Nuri Sahin, two new midfielders who just came to Real Madrid, also temporarily gave up the idea of competing with Li Ang for playing time.
After all, judging from the training status, the gap between them and Li Ang, who had already trained in advance to adjust his physical condition, is not small.
Judging from Mourinho's meaning, Li Ang and Alonso's main midfield positions will basically not change.
Wanting to compete with the coach's direct players for the starting lineup, this direct player is much better at defense than the two of them, it is very difficult
Thinking of this, the two subconsciously observed the performance of Brother Face Khedira.
Seeing that Brother Face was beating in his heart, he quickly returned to defense in training and became more active.
The first five days of summer training time passed in a flash. On July 17, Real Madrid finally ushered in the first round of the pre-season match with the Los Angeles Galaxy.
And Li Ang finally appeared on the field for Real Madrid again after more than half a year.
This time, he was more confident and calm.
He was fully prepared.
I was too embarrassed to say anything, but then I thought it was not right to be an ostrich, so I just stood up and took the blame, admitting my mistakes first.
There is no point in making excuses, and it is indeed my serious fault that I did not update on time. I sincerely apologize to all the big guys first, and then, I have finished my meal now, so I will just type directly, well, I will type out tomorrow morning's chapter first.
I apologize to all the big guys again, the foodie will use subsequent updates to restore my reputation, and please witness and supervise!
