When the time approached 9:00, Qiao Anchen and his teammates all changed into training clothes, then left the locker room together and headed to the training ground.
When they arrived at the training ground, Diego Simeone was already waiting on the sidelines with members of the coaching staff. Everyone quickly lined up and prepared to listen to Simeone's lecture. Qiao Anchen, as the youngest pure rookie, naturally stood in the second row of his own accord.
The most fringe.
Simeone's appearance is very difficult to mess with, and he has the image of a bandit who is calm and self-confident. And Simeone's own assistant coach German Borges also has the image of a bandit with disheveled hair.
The combination of these two people, just by their appearance, has made the players who were not very polite under Manzano dare not whisper.
After seeing everyone standing, Simone raised his head and said loudly:
"Hello everyone, I am your new coach Diego Simeone, and I was also a player in the Sheets."
"However, today I am back here as the head coach, not to catch up with you, but to lead you to attack the championship throne and challenge the powerful Real Madrid and Barcelona."
"I don't make any comments on the work of former coach Manzano, but starting from today, everyone must train and compete according to my instructions. Anyone who dares to disobey the instructions, please be prepared to sit on the bench.
"
"I don't care how you performed before. Now I only look at your performance in training to decide the roster for the next game."
"Regardless of the main substitute, whoever shows better condition and stronger fighting spirit in training can play in the official game."
…
Simeone's announcement of taking office was domineering and tough. Some players felt uncomfortable hearing it, but others felt brightened.
They feel that if Atletico Madrid, as a civilian team, wants to confront its mortal enemy Real Madrid in the city of Madrid, and if it wants to challenge the status of Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga as the two leading players in the Spanish Super League, it must have this kind of "willing to be killed and dare to bring down the emperor."
"The momentum.
Regardless of Simeone's coaching level, at least, this kind of temperament is what Atletico Madrid, which has just been knocked out of the Copa del Rey by third-tier team Albacete, has poor league results and is in decline, needs.
After Simeone finished his training, assistant coach Borgers began to arrange today's training content.
Originally, many people thought that since the Christmas and New Year holidays had just ended, and the weather was cold, recovery training should be the main focus, and there would not be too much training intensity on the first day.
Who knew that Simeone's training intensity on the first day he took office would be even more intense than Manzano's most intense training period.
Simeone's tactics are defensive counterattacks, which are not novel. However, his defensive strategy is not to shrink the defense line with a big bus and iron barrel formation, but to press high and counterattack on the spot.
This requires players to use a lot of running and iron-blooded defense to compete, and everyone must reserve enough physical fitness before the start of the second half of the season.
Coupled with the factor of wanting to establish prestige, Simeone's first day of training made many players who had eaten and drank heavily during the holidays fall down from exhaustion and shouted that they couldn't stand it.
Qiao Anchen also felt very uncomfortable, but gritted his teeth and persisted.
Except for Simeone and assistant coach Germain Borges, the rest of the coaching staff are former members of Atletico Madrid's coaching staff. Everyone knows about Qiao Anchen's situation and paid great attention to him on the first day of training.
After all, this is a player cultivated by Atletico Madrid's own youth training camp, so everyone naturally feels more close to him and hopes that he can be played.
However, Diego Simeone did not show any special regard for Qiao Anchen and treated everyone equally.
The next day, on the morning of January 5th, after this period of 20,000 dream training every night and 10,000 team training during the day yesterday, Qiao Anchen's total experience rose to level 24, 700,000/700,000, and he was automatically upgraded to
Level 25 0/800,000, and received a guaranteed goal lucky card and an upgrade reward of 30 skill points.
In view of the intensity of yesterday's training, Qiao Anchen did not hesitate and directly added all 30 skill points to "Physical Fitness", increasing "Physical Fitness" from 70 to 80.
This should be enough to cope with the training and competition of the first team.
After completing the upgrade and adding points, Qiao Anchen's skill attributes changed to:
Also on January 5, Simeone arranged a shooting training.
In two days, the first game of the second half of the season after the winter break will begin.
Therefore, special shooting training is arranged to, firstly, train the players' feeling of shooting, and secondly, to train the goalkeeper's feeling of making a save.
Of course, the shooting training is not a set-piece training. Instead, teammates who specialize in crosses from the wing will pass the ball from the side ten or twenty meters away. There are ground balls, low balls, and air balls.
Players who practice shooting need to shoot directly near the penalty area line without stopping, trying to hit the goal frame or even break through the goalkeeper to score a goal.
However, it is really difficult to shoot directly without stopping the ball in this kind of sports. Even in training, no one interferes. The average player can achieve 10 times of direct shooting within the goal frame in 20 sets of training without stopping the ball.
, are pretty good.
As for scoring goals, it is naturally more difficult with goalkeepers Courtois and Ahosen taking turns guarding them.
But Qiao Anchen's performance shocked Simeone, the rest of the coaching staff, and all his first-team teammates.
In 20 groups of shooting training, Qiao Anchen unexpectedly hit the goal frame 17 times without stopping, and 12 of his shots avoided the fingers of goalkeeper Courtois or Ajosen and flew into the goal.
It even included several volley goals.
This data is far inferior to even the team's top scorer, Tiger Falcao.
Falcao's statistics are 20 sets of shots, 12 of which hit the goal frame, but 7 of them were saved by the goalkeeper, and only 5 goals were scored.
Among the remaining players, the highest number did not hit the goal frame more than 10 times, and the highest number of goals was only 4.
In this shooting training, Qiao Anchen, the youngest, stood out from the crowd. He was far ahead in both goal-frame hit rate and goal-scoring rate.
Qiao Anchen's most outstanding goal was a half-high ball passed by his teammate from the wing. Qiao Anchen volleyed the ball without stopping from the right side of the top of the penalty area, and actually kicked the ball directly into the upper left corner of the goal.
Even with the reaction speed of the main goalkeeper Courtois, he was unable to catch this shot that went straight into the blind corner. He could only watch the ball flying into the blind corner in the air.
