Football giants

Chapter 658

A training session lasted nine to 10 minutes. It was not short and the intensity was high. Therefore, when Luis Borini blew the whistle for the end of training, many players on the training ground were exhausted.

But Yang Huan noticed that Kaka was standing there sweating profusely, with her hips crossed.

Soon, two people walked out quickly from the sidelines. It turned out to be Huang Wenying, the Chinese medicine massage consultant in the team.

"Master Huang?" Yang Huan was a little surprised when he saw who it was.

Huang Wenying walked into the training ground with his assistant, carefully pressed Kaka's legs, and asked him about his condition, especially for the hidden dangers such as the knee and groin that had been injured. It can be seen that he massaged Kaka for a while.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Wenying went to Luis Borini. Under the translation of the assistant, Huang Wenying was obviously introducing Kaka's situation, while the latter kept nodding, and then signaled for Kaka to accept the punishment.

The so-called punishment is extra training, but it is not the kind of unreasonable extra training.

Considering that Tielemans and Prouss are both young, and Kaka has just recovered from an injury, the additional training looks more like relaxation. They are all recovery training to stretch the muscles and relax the muscles.

This also made Yang Huan on the sidelines heaving a sigh of relief.

"It seems that these guys really haven't messed around!" Yang Huan said with a smile.

Peter Kenyon, Ron Gurley and others kept nodding.

Southampton, whether it is the administrative department or Stapletwood, has formed a set of stable, orderly, and reasonable operating mechanisms. Everyone performs their own duties and follows the system and process. Basically, there will be no major problems.

"Let's go, go to the analysis center to find out the situation!"

After speaking, Yang Huan took the lead and turned around to leave.

After bypassing the training ground and walking in through the gate of the training building, Yang Huan went straight to the research and analysis center.

When passing the massage area on the way, he smelled a strong smell of herbs, which made Yang Huan a little strange.

Since Huang Wenying came to Southampton, his shiatsu and massage have become one of the favorite recovery methods of Southampton players, and the effect is quite obvious, especially in the recovery stage of some injuries.

But it is rare to use Chinese herbal medicine.

"Go in and have a look!" Yang Huan changed his mind temporarily and went straight to the massage area.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Huang Wenying nervously telling his apprentices to pay more attention to the fire, to prepare the medicine pack quickly, and to prepare the medicinal oil as soon as possible...

"Old Huang, you really seem to be at war here!" Yang Huan walked forward with a smile.

The massage area is headed by Huang Wenying, with apprentices and assistants, and there are seven or eight people. Is it so busy?
"Master Huan?" Huang Wenying heard the voice, turned around, and saw that it was Yang Huan. She was a little surprised, then smiled wryly, shook her head and sighed, "Master Huan, you don't know, they are coming soon, you can't prepare quickly!"

"Are you in such a hurry?" Yang Huan felt strange.

Huang Wenying nodded and said: "Yes, I have studied with the people at the Research and Analysis Center, and found that within half an hour after training and competitions, doing acupressure and massage has the best recovery effect, so..."

Just as he was talking, he saw the players outside rushing in one after another.

When the Saints players saw Yang Huan one by one, they immediately called out "Master Huan" respectfully.

But soon, Huang Wenying called her to the bed, and after a while, someone started to shout.

The process of shiatsu and tuina massage is indeed a little painful, but after the pain, the whole person is relaxed, and the recovery effect is quite good, otherwise, the research and analysis center would not include it in the training plan.

Not only that, the research and analysis center is currently conducting more in-depth research, intending to analyze shiatsu and traditional Chinese medicine massage, led by Markus du Sartoy and the top students of Oxford Medical School.

"Come on, let's go!"

Seeing how busy the place is, Yang Huan couldn't stay here any longer, so he had to leave first.

Walking to the research and analysis center, Yang Huan found that there was no idle time here either. Everyone was doing their own work conscientiously. After all, the training session had just ended, and now was their busy time.

Yang Huan didn't bother them, but went directly to Marcus du Sartoy's office, only to find that Dr. Howard Hamilton was there, and the two seemed to be discussing something, frowning.

"What's the matter? What trouble did you encounter?" Yang Huan walked in with a smile when he saw that the door was open.

"Master Huan?" The two of them turned their heads when they heard the sound, they were both startled.

Then he hurriedly greeted Peter Kenyon and Ron Gourley.

"What's going on? Why do you look like you have a headache?" Yang Huan asked again.

Marcus du Sartoy shook his head and smiled wryly, turned around a document in front of him, and sent it to Yang Huan.

"This is the data of Kaka when he was training in the team just now."

Yang Huan took it over and took a look. The number of passes and success rate were all good.

"Not bad, what's the matter?" Yang Huan was a little puzzled.

Marcus du Satoy shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Master Huan, don't stare at those commonly used data, look at the following."

Yang Huan looked down the report and found that there was a piece of data below that was one-on-one confrontation, which said eight times, but the number of successes was zero.

This time, he also realized the problem.

If you look further down, you will find that there are special personnel on the sidelines to record that Kaka evaded six of the eight one-on-one confrontations, and twice dodged hastily.

In addition, he had five equal chances to grab the ball, but Kaka stopped in advance five times.

What's more, after being shoveled to the ground by Prouss, Kaka's data in the next ten minutes is obviously much worse than before.

On-site observers also described in the report that Kaka lay on the ground with a frightened and angry expression.

"What exactly does this mean?" Yang Huan vaguely guessed something, but still couldn't understand.

Dr. Howard Hamilton smiled helplessly, "I specially sent Kaka's body data and recovery status to the United States, and showed it to a very famous sports injury doctor friend of mine. He has performed operations on many sports stars, including Henry, Owen and Kobe, and formulated recovery plans."

Yang Huan nodded, waiting for him to continue.

"After he learned about the situation, he also conducted in-depth discussions and research with Marcus and I. We all believed that Kaka's ligaments, thigh muscles, groin, meniscus and other places were injured again and again. It is impossible to return to normal. It is not easy to even continue to play football."

Yang Huan has long been mentally prepared for this.

To be honest, in the past few years, with so many injuries in Real Madrid, it is really not something ordinary people can bear, especially when facing overwhelming accusations and pressure from public criticism outside the court.

"But after detailed discussion and research, we have worked out a set of feasible plans. In the past, we have also followed this set of plans, but..."

"Just what?" Peter Kenyon asked concerned.

You know, Kaka is now the Southampton team's commercial value second only to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's superstar.

Even though he is no longer on the court, but in the field of business operations, he is still very attractive.

Dr. Marcus du Sartoy took over the words at this time, "As for this kind of injury, many times, what really troubles the players is not the physical pain, but the psychological shadow of the players, the fear in the subconscious."

"You mean, Kaka is afraid of physical confrontation?" Yang Huan was a little surprised.

How can a professional footballer play football if he is afraid of physical confrontation?

Not to mention the fierce physical confrontation in the Premier League, even in La Liga, which protects the most skilled players, can you survive without physical confrontation?
You know, although La Liga emphasizes skills and lacks physical confrontation, La Liga players are notorious for their small movements and dirty playing style. In many cases, even for players with excellent skills like David Silva, Juan Mata, Iniesta and Xavi, small movements are enough to make you go berserk.

Of course, these tricks are commonplace in professional leagues, and everyone is used to them.

So, if Kaka is really afraid of physical confrontation, how can he continue to play in the professional league?
"If he fails to get out of his demons, then even if we heal his injury and allow him to play like a normal player, he will still not be able to perform stably. He will still be like he was in Real Madrid, and even get injured frequently!"

Yang Huan has heard of this, and sometimes, it is a psychological factor at work.

"Is there no way?"

Marcus du Sartoy nodded and smiled: "We have studied with Lao Huang before, and we preliminarily estimated that Kaka's physical condition can withstand the intensity of normal games and group training confrontations for about 10 minutes, and the limit is 10 minutes."

"and then?"

"So, we asked the coaching staff to arrange for Kaka to play half a quarter of group confrontation training, that is, 25 minutes. In the game, we can only arrange him to come off the bench for the time being. It is best to play consecutively in the last 10 minutes or so of the game."

"During training, we require all players to treat Kaka equally, and give them whatever moves they should give. Everything is done in strict accordance with the training intensity that is close to the actual game in normal times. The purpose is to help him overcome his inner demons!"

When Yang Huan heard this, he finally understood.

No wonder Luis Borini called a stop just now and reprimanded Prouss and Thielemans, so it turned out to be the case.

"But what if you get hurt again?" Yang Huan asked again.

Marcus du Sartoy and Howard Hamilton looked at each other and laughed.

"It's not that easy!" Marcus du Sartoy turned on the computer and opened a series of data, "We have been monitoring Kaka's data and physical condition all the time from the time he warmed up to the training session."

"Before he goes on the court to participate in the confrontation training, and after participating in the confrontation training, Lao Huang and the staff will test him to ensure that he will not suffer injuries during the training to the greatest extent. The purpose of our doing this is to gradually restore his confidence through this kind of training and help him get rid of his demons!"

Yang Huan understood completely.

Heart disease still needs heart medicine, and Kaka's heart demon can only be eliminated by himself.

And if you want to get rid of your demons, train more, compete more, and fight more, this is undoubtedly the best medicine.

When he realizes that even if he fights with all his strength and uses his body to the limit, he doesn't have to be afraid of getting injured, then his inner demon will be eliminated.

At that time, Kaka is qualified to say that he can play like an ordinary professional player.

Otherwise, he will always be able to join the battle with his inner demons.

Just imagine, how much strength can a professional player who is afraid of injury and physical confrontation be able to display?
Thinking of this, Yang Huan felt relieved.

He is very satisfied with the plan given by the Research and Analysis Center, and if even such a detailed arrangement can't help Kaka overcome his demons and get rid of his injuries, then Yang Huan is really powerless.

I believe that when that time comes, Kaka will not complain about Southampton!
