Chapter VIII Defense Vanguard

There is actually no formal training on the first day of training day, which is the same as not having formal classes on the first day of school.

"Hi, Cheng, here." As soon as he arrived at the training base, Cheng Mo heard someone calling him.

Cheng Mo walked over and found that there were several reserve teammates who had arrived early, gathering together to talk about their holiday life.

"I went to Antwerp to play during the holidays and met a hot girl there, which was very exciting."

"Didn't you watch "Game of Thrones"? I was fascinated by Carris's Red Witch, especially those ruby-like eyes."

"I went to listen to Anouk's concert, and I'm still excited."

...

Antwerp is Belgium's second largest city, adjacent to the Netherlands. Although the Netherlands and Belgium have experienced many love, hate, love and reunion, the relationship is generally good at present, so it is very convenient for the Dutch to go to Belgium.

Now "Game of Thrones" is popular. Carris Van Houden, the actor who plays the Red Robe Witch, was originally a Dutch. He was already the hottest female star in the Netherlands a few years ago. Now that he has successfully entered Hollywood, he is naturally even more popular.

Anouk is currently one of the most famous female singers in the Netherlands, playing rock.

When a group of men gather alone, the topic they talk about is never separated from women. This is a law.

It seems that the exchange is almost the same, and the law can still be true.

This law has the nature of exchange.

Cheng Mo and his teammates nodded to each other as a greeting, but they did not join them.

Players who can only play football in the Dutch New Year reserve team have very limited salaries, which is basically a little higher than ordinary people, so there is nothing to show off.

In addition, Cheng Mo has been training crazily all summer, and he has nothing to say.

"Hey, Cheng, where are you? Where did you go on vacation? Have you gone back to China?" At this time, a yellow-haired boy walked to Cheng Mo and asked, "Tell me, what's the fun in China?"

"Okay, Cohen, you may be disappointed. I didn't go back to China. I just stayed in Rotterdam all summer." Cheng Mo said with a shrugged.

The yellow-haired boy is named Cohen Deronks. He just called Cheng Mo here. He is a teammate with Cheng Mo's good relationship in the reserve team, because they were roommates for a short time.

As for the rest of the team, Cheng Mo was basically just nodding.

For small teams like Rotterdam Elite, most of the staff are Dutch locals, so they can basically go home every day.

But whenever a foreign player joins the team, the team is responsible for arranging accommodation.

Cheng Mo was arranged in a small dormitory at the training base, and his roommate was Cohen Deronx.

Deronks is actually a Dutch, but his home is in the countryside of Groningen, the northernmost part of the Netherlands. The South Holland province where Rotterdam is located is almost the southernmost part of the Netherlands. The distance is indeed a bit far, so he arranged a dormitory for him.

However, Deronx did not live in the dormitory for a long time. He only stayed in the dormitory at noon every day and would still go home after the afternoon training.

After all, the Netherlands is really not big, just like a larger city in China, and no matter how far it is, it is not far away.

So after Cheng Mo lived in that dormitory for a few days, he was invited to move to the Chinese aunt's house.

"Stayed in Rotterdam? Why have you been staying in Rotterdam?" Deronx asked in confusion.

"I told you, don't tell others. I have been conducting secret training during the holidays. My strength has long been different from the past. The days when I am soaring forward are coming." Cheng Mo cooperated with the other party very much and deliberately came to the other party's ear and said secretly.

Deronx was confused at first, then he looked like a 'I understand' expression and said, "Okay, I will keep it a secret for you, but when you become a star in the future, don't forget me, I'm your good friend."

"Don't worry, I will never treat you badly."

The two sang and reconciled, and their acting skills were absolutely online.

It is half true and half false for the non-Cheng Mo, while Deronx is completely cooperating with the performance. He simply regards Cheng Mo's words just now as a joke.

Not long after, the reserve team had almost arrived, and head coach Levi Zeller finally appeared and began to count the personnel.

This means that everyone's new season is about to begin.

At this moment, Deronx, who was standing in the crowd, suddenly remembered something. Why did that guy's Dutch become so good just now?

Didn’t he always speak Dutch?

Why did you suddenly become so fluent?

※※※

On the first day of training day, the reserve team will order a name in the morning, and then conduct a warm-up, and then have a physical examination.

Taking advantage of his free time after the physical examination, Cheng Mo brought one of his few luggage back to the training base and got the move.

The place he lived in was still the original dormitory, and there were some things from Deronx in the room.

In fact, Deronx has been occupying this room and has never moved it away.

The next morning at 9 o'clock, the real training camp of the reserve team officially began.

Football is a sport that requires physical fitness very much, and it can even be said to be the first to require physical fitness among common sports.

Generally speaking, basketball players need to run 3 kilometers per game, tennis and hockey average 5 kilometers per game, and rugby average 7 kilometers per game.

Football players need to run 9.5 kilometers per game.

Therefore, physical fitness is really very important for football players.

The main purpose of a team's pre-season training is to allow the whole team to prepare physical fitness, lay a solid foundation, and prepare for the next season of the game.

The secondary purpose is to run in the formation, train tactics, let the players regain their feeling on the court, and to examine the players' strength.

The coach needs to consider the strength of some people, or the strength of some people has dropped significantly, and the strength of new players.

The same is true for the Rotterdam elite reserve team, focusing on physical fitness reserves and players are supplemented.

On the second day of the training camp, the whole team still trained with warm-up and low-intensity physical fitness.

Under such circumstances, Cheng Mo's performance is not eye-catching.

Deronx was very happy to know that Cheng Mo moved back to the dormitory. He no longer had to live alone, although he only lived in the dormitory at noon.

On the third day, the coach began to increase the intensity of physical training and started small-field confrontations at the same time.

In the first small 5V5 match, Cheng Mo got a chance to play, which surprised him a little.

After all, he is just a marginal player in the team and rarely appears on the bench in the reserve team.

But when the opportunity comes, he will not be vague.

Small 5V5 are the main team and the substitute team respectively. Each team has two defenders, two midfielders and one striker.

Cheng Mo is undoubtedly on the substitute side, and the forward in front of him happens to be the yellow-haired boy Cohen Deronx.

In small court battles, the court is naturally very small. Within such a small range, Cheng Mo found that defense seemed to be simpler.

When the main team made its first attack, Cheng Mo perfectly predicted the opponent's passing route, easily cut off the opponent's midfielder and forward, and grabbed the ball for the substitute team.

Unfortunately, the substitute team's offense was not good, and the yellow-haired boy lost the ball.

In the following time, Cheng Mo focused on defense and repeatedly destroyed the main team's passes, so that the main team's offense could not be effective.

The other players on the sidelines didn't care much. After all, this was the first group confrontation after the training camp. Many people have not yet been able to get out of the holiday rhythm, so it is natural to be in poor condition.

But head coach Levi Zeller on the sidelines has begun to talk to his assistant coach.

"Van Wilter had specially looked for me yesterday afternoon and said that the Chinese boy had been practicing at the base during his holiday, so he asked me to consider giving him more opportunities to perform." Zeler took the folder and looked at it, and then said: "Now it seems that his training performance is pretty good, his defense level has improved a lot, and he is in very good condition."

"But this is only the first group confrontation. No one else has been able to recover his state, so it doesn't mean anything for the time being." Given Cheng Mo's mediocre performance, the assistant coach is still cautious.

"Of course, we still have enough time to observe to see if that kid has really made progress or is only in a good state in a short period of time."
