Chapter 1348 I'm so unpopular!

Speaking of Dutch fitness coach Winston Bogard, many forgetful fans probably don't remember it, but in the European professional football circle, this name can be said to be very popular.

The Dutchman has accompanied Yang Yang's entire career development. At the same time, he has also served as the personal coach of many top stars such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sneijder, Arjen Robben, and Kaka. He has even served as an expert consultant for Liverpool and Real Madrid many times.

But in recent years, the Dutch coach has rarely appeared in European football, and he has appeared more in China.

He has painstakingly managed his own fitness club, based in the capital, rooted in first-tier cities, and now it has opened all over China's strong second-tier cities, becoming a leader among high-end fitness chain companies in China, known for its professionalism, and he himself is also an authority in the domestic fitness industry, with a great reputation.

As he gradually faded out of European football, he also quickly lost his appeal in the European media, so that when he appeared at the Madrid capital airport, he was not recognized by anyone, and he was taken into a taxi.

As soon as the Dutchman saw Yang Yang, he collapsed on the spot.

"I didn't expect that I would be so unpopular!" Winston Bogard almost stopped crying.

In order to avoid being recognized by others, he also specially put on a pair of big black pants and a hat, and was trembling all the way, but he didn't expect that no one knew him at all, how could he accept this?
"Don't be sad, the media and fans have always been so forgetful." Yang Yang comforted him with a smile.

It was a little too overwhelming indeed.

However, Winston Bogard has indeed been away from the European media for too long. In the era of information explosion, it is not easy for a behind-the-scenes worker like him to attract attention. After leaving for a long time, he will naturally be forgotten.

For example, Pintus standing next to Yang Yang, if he goes out, let alone other people, it is estimated that many local Real Madrid fans in Madrid will not recognize him at all, which is also normal.

Winston Bogard became popular back then, and it had a lot to do with Yang Yang.

Of course, the collapse of the Dutchman was all faked, just to "blackmail" Yang Yang.

……

After exchanging pleasantries, it was inevitable that after a few blows, they began to talk about serious business.

Yang Yang introduced Real Madrid's fitness coach Antonio Pintus and physiotherapist Hamidou Msaidi to Winston Bogard. The latter's business is very close to that of the Dutchman, but in terms of reputation, Msaidi is not as good as Winston Bogard. The Dutchman has been famous for many years.

This time Yang Yang called Winston Bogard to Madrid, mainly because of Yang Yang's next plans.

He is 29 years old and will be 30 at the end of October [-].

This is an age that cannot be ignored.

The 31-year-old Cruyff left Barcelona and went to the American Major League for retirement; the 32-year-old Beckenbauer left Bayern and went to the United States; the 31-year-old Ronaldo also had to leave Real Madrid; the 33-year-old Raul left the Bernabeu sadly under the attack of Real Madrid fans...

Everyone knows that in the professional league, players who can play at the age of Totti, Maldini and Costacurta are still very few after all, and players who can play to an advanced age and die in top teams are even rarer.

On the contrary, it is most normal to have to leave a top team due to a decline in form in your early thirties.

Aging, this is something Yang Yang has never experienced, and he doesn't know how to face it.

Zidane retired at the age of 34. He talked to Yang Yang about his state at that time, but this belonged to Zidane, not Yang Yang. No one knows what Yang Yang will look like after the age of 30.

As the top football star in the world today, Yang Yang must prepare for his next career.

Because he knows very well that neither Real Madrid nor Florentino will leave behind a player who has no or little contribution to the team, even if he was once the world's top superstar.

Hierro, Iker Casillas, Raul... Even such leading stars have a bleak evening in Real Madrid, let alone Ronaldo and other outsiders. The only one who can really leave with dignity is Zidane, who retired in [-].

This kind of wisdom is what Yang Yang needs to learn, and this is why he has not renewed his contract so far.

Smart people should take the initiative in their own hands, and he believes that Real Madrid will not take the initiative to sell him, because he has a huge commercial value that Real Madrid is reluctant to let go.

Over the years, the relationship between him and Real Madrid can be said to be closely connected. Raiola even believes that Real Madrid would rather let him transfer freely than sell him, because behind him there are commercial interests that Real Madrid is unwilling to give up anyway.

But as a professional player, I still want to work hard to maintain my state and prolong my career.

Real Madrid officials think so too, so both Pintus and Msaidi are preparing for it.

Yang Yang called his personal trainer Winston Bogard, sat down with the two experts of the Real Madrid coaching staff, and seriously discussed what he should do next.

……

"My idea is to take the initiative to adjust my training plan starting from this summer's training camp. I hope you can help me formulate a training plan to delay the decline of my competitive state." Yang Yang expressed his request.

Pintus, Msaidi, and Winston Bogarde all looked at each other and realized that this was not going to be easy.

"Your height is 1.8 meters three. From a scientific point of view, your ideal weight is about 84 kilograms." Pintus was the first to express his opinion. When he said this, he turned his head and slightly nodded at Winston Bogarde, obviously very sure of the ability of the Dutchman.

"In the past few years, his weight has also been maintained at an ideal state. This is the reason why you can play stably and well for a long time, but we all know that from the age of 29 or 30, the physical function and athletic state of professional players will decline. This time needs to be handled carefully."

Yang Yang is no stranger to this matter, and it's not like he hasn't done preparations.

"Not long ago, I met Ronaldo in La Moraleja, and I talked to him about it." When Yang Yang mentioned Ronaldo, his expression was still like a fan referring to an idol. "It's a coincidence that his height is also 1.8 meters three."

"Ronaldo told me that he weighed 75kg at the time. He was too thin at the time, and then gradually increased to 78kg. During the World Cup in France, he was always at this weight, but the subsequent serious injuries made his weight keep soaring. During the World Cup in Korea and Japan, his weight reached 86kg, which is already much higher than the standard."

Although many people praised Ronaldo during the Korea-Japan World Cup, in fact, the alien was not satisfied with his state at the time, and he thought he could do better.

Too many injuries, coupled with the addition of honors in the later stages of his career, and various factors such as increasing age, caused Ronaldo's weight to remain high in the later stages, even rising from 86 kg during the Korea-Japan World Cup to 89 kg in 91. In 95, he rose to [-] kg. When he returned to Brazil in [-], he had already reached [-] kg.

Even now, Ronaldo has not been able to lose weight.

Many people will accuse Ronaldo of being lazy, accusing him of refusing to endure hardship, or other reasons, but never underestimate the willpower of an athlete who has suffered serious injuries many times, but returned tenaciously to the football field and still played the top star.

Ronaldo's uncontrollable weight is caused by many factors, not just because he is lazy and undisciplined.

Yang Yang still clearly remembers that when Ronaldo recalled his weight, he said that he was fat no matter what he did. He even went to see a psychiatrist for this. The doctor thought it was a psychological problem, which made him very distressed.

The intensity of football games is very high. The problem brought about by overweight is that the players' bodies are under greater pressure, which leads to more injuries. When there are more injuries, the competitive state will inevitably decline, which creates a vicious circle.

"With age, physical function and digestive system will decline, which requires players to actively make changes and adjustments to adapt to this change, otherwise, body fat is inevitable." Pintus said with certainty.

This is the so-called middle-aged fat.

The reason why many middle-aged people in their 30s complain that they eat as much as before, but their bodies inevitably keep gaining weight is because of the decline in body functions and digestive system.

This is true for ordinary people, and even more so for professional players.

"This requires a systematic project." Mseidi frowned and thought for a while, and said, "From diet to training, I think you need a whole system project to avoid a situation like Ronaldo's. And you must know that the improvement of age will also bring about an overall decline in physical fitness, and the amount of training needs to be controlled."

In the past two or three years, Yang Yang has been reducing his training volume and training intensity appropriately. Many of the previous extra training are gone now, because he has begun to realize that his body's recovery speed has slowed down.

This is an irreversible aging trend independent of his personal will, and Yang Yang has no way to stop it.

At the age of 29, he has already stepped into the door of retirement with one foot.

Even Zidane has reminded him many times before that he should try to minimize some technical moves on the court that he was good at before, such as pendulum passing, or some emergency stops. These are very fatal and easy to get injured.

It didn't matter when I was young, but not now.

Without these, Yang Yang needs to change his playing style on the court, which requires him to re-explore and adapt.
