Chapter 144: Does it feel better
Chapter 144, do you feel better
After adjusting the training base for a few days, Gao Bo took the team to the sunny Iberian Peninsula.
This year's pre-season training Gao Bo decided not to stay in England, but went to the famous Spanish Marbella Football Center. Except because the weather here is far more suitable for pre-season training than rainy England, the more important reason is that the Marbella training base is large enough that many teams will choose to come here for training, which means The team can easily find a warm-up opponent here.
After arriving in Spain, the team's training really entered the devil mode that made the players complain.
Facing the seemingly heavier training volume every day, the veteran Campbell couldn't bear it. Campbell, who is already thirty-five years old, feels his legs are shaking almost every day after training. After all, his age is already here.
Luton's other players are still very young. Campbell has nothing in common with these young players. On the contrary, he has a better conversation with Kevin Keane, who is his age.
After training in the morning, when walking towards the restaurant, Campbell, who was walking side by side with Kevin Keane, gently stabbed Kevin with his elbow.
"Kevin... Did you train so much last season?!"
Kevin shrugged: "Don't let you think that our FA Cup champion came from, we won the FA Cup champion as the second division!"
"But the amount of training is too big!!"
"Don't worry, Sol, it's just the last two weeks, during the period of reserve physical training, the amount of training is a little bit more, after this period of time, it will be better when you have the ball to train..."
"Oh... more than thirty, the body is just not as good as these little boys like them..."
Campbell touched his bald head and exclaimed.
...
The training before the season is step by step, but Gao Bo's work is still very busy. The players' daily training situation and their physical condition will be sorted into data and appear in front of Gao Bo. He needs to grasp the team's situation in real time.
The players walked ahead and the coaches followed behind.
"Where did you get such a...perverted?!" John has been observing Griezman all this time.
I have to say that Griezmann completely conquered everyone in Luton.
In the team match, Griezmann scored a lot. No matter which position Gao Bo arranged for him to play in the front court, left wing, right wing, ninth and a half, or even playing center, this kid can always get the ball in. goal.
Flexible figure, excellent foot technique and excellent shooting skills!
Gao Bo smiled triumphantly: "You don't have to doubt my eyes, John! This kid will surprise everyone!"
"I'm shocked now..." John shook his head and said.
In addition to Griezman, other new players performed very well. Alex Sandro's performance on the left back made the coaching staff shine. Karl Jenkinson also showed his outstanding talent. .
is now waiting for the game to verify their status.
"Have you contacted your opponent in the warm-up match?" Gao Bo asked.
There are quite a few teams that come to this football center for pre-season training, and it is very easy to contact warm-up opponents.
"Get in touch, Tours, a team in the French second division!"
Gao Bo nodded. He doesn't really care about the opponent. He needs some warm-up matches to let the players slowly enter the feeling of the new season.
...
After all, Campbell still couldn't stand the team's training volume. He found Gao Bo.
"Uh... Boss..."
Looking at Gao Bo, who was much younger than himself, Campbell hesitated, but decided to call Gao Bo as the other players.
"Sol!! How about it, get used to it these days!"
Gao Bo is very happy that the players come to him after the training.
"Uh... Boss, I think... my training volume is a bit too large." Campbell scratched his head. "If I continue to increase the volume, I am worried that my knees can't stand it."
These days are the team's physical reserve period, so the amount of training is getting heavier day by day, it is no wonder that Campbell is worried.
Gao Bo stopped what he was busy with.
Campbell once suffered a serious knee injury, and he is already thirty-five years old, such a player is indeed unable to compare with those young people physically.
"What if you keep this amount?"
Gao Bo is not a tyrant, and the amount of training is fixed. It is absolutely impossible to add unlimitedly-the players are all flesh and blood.
There was a look of embarrassment on Campbell's face.
"Don't worry, Sol. The increase in training volume is limited. After two days, we will reduce physical training and start to increase training with the ball!" Gao Bo patted Campbell on the shoulder.
"Go back and take a good rest. You will be the starter for tomorrow's warm-up match!" Gao Bo said mysteriously: "Maybe you will feel better in the match."
Campbell nodded and left. As for the mysterious smile on Gao Bo's face, he didn't understand.
But Gao Bo knew why he had a "mysterious smile".
Because Campbell's experience and ability in the defense are trustworthy, as long as he has no physical problems, he can be used as a first-class central defender!
To solve Campbell's physical problems, Gao Bo naturally thought of the card.
[Game card (green): physical fitness increased by 15%, designated a player to use! ]
Gao Bo still has a hundred chances to draw a lottery, it is useless, exchange for a green card, Gao Bo is not heartbroken.
...
In the warm-up match, the two teams are as good as possible.
The game was played at three o'clock in the afternoon in a stadium at the Marbella training base.
Such a warm-up match can not attract any audience, Gao Bo sent his heart start in the first half.
is still the 442 formation of last season.
The goalkeeper is Schmeichel. At the center back, Gao Bo chose Jeffrey and Campbell's partner. The left back is Alex Sandro, the right back is Mitchell Piran, and the four midfielders are from left to right. They are Adam White, Drinkwater, Kanter and Kevin Keane. The top two forwards are partners of Vardy and Griezman.
And when the tour club's starter was standing on the field, Gao Bo found that their striker was familiar Isn't this Giroud?
Gao Bo thought of Giroud who later played for Arsenal. The striker was later ridiculed by the fans as a "face-type" striker. When you think he can't do it, he can always surprise you, but when you think you must make progress. At that time, he can also surprise you...
In fact, Giroud's standing ability is still good, and Giroud is also a person who has won the Ligue 1 golden boots.
Gao Bo was thinking at this time, maybe he could dig out Giroud, who is not yet famous, from the Tour Club?
But Gao Bo quickly dismissed this idea. With so many famous players in the future, he can't become a Mavericks collection addiction patient...
The overall state of Luton in the first warm-up game of the new season is not good.
But Campbell felt that he had gained a lot of energy out of thin air as soon as he stepped onto the field, and he even moved a lot more briskly.
Is coach Gao Bo's training really so effective?
Campbell was a little pleased. He hadn't experienced the feeling of continuous force from his muscles for a long time.
Campbell played very well. He became an iron gate in the back line. No matter what ball gets to him, he can always handle it in the most reasonable way.
Gao Bo is also very satisfied, especially for Campbell's performance. If this veteran has no physical problems, his experience can definitely bring Luton's defense to a new level.
In this game, he equipped a card, the purpose is to add some physical fitness to Campbell, so that he can be confident.
The result of the final match was one to one, and Griezmann and Giroud each contributed to their respective teams.
After the game, Gao Bo specifically found Campbell.
"Sol, did you feel better during the game?"
