Chapter 900
Apart from wanting to see through Rongguang, David Silva is still somewhat dissatisfied with Rongguang, because he doesn't think he is worse than Rongguang.

This is also caused by Iniesta...

At the beginning, Iniesta kept telling David Silva how powerful Glory was, and David Silva had a rebellious mentality, always feeling that he was no worse than him.

Now that he is in Manchester City, he will naturally have to compete with Rong Guang.

Of course, David Silva's competition is not a direct challenge to glory in training.

He's not that stupid yet.

It is also impossible for him to be one-on-one with Rongguang in the training game. He is not good at defending, and it is impossible for him to defend Rongguang.

So how would he compete with Rong Guang?

※※※

Generally speaking, the first stage of a team's pre-season training is all about physical training.

Physical training before the season is the most important, because it directly determines the physical performance of the team in the next season.

This season is the first time that Benitez has fully coached Manchester City. He will not take over the team halfway like last season.

If he takes over halfway, there is actually very little he can do, because it is impossible to completely overthrow Mark Hughes's set, he can only choose to make minor repairs.

And this summer, he will start to intervene in the team's preparations from the pre-season training camp, instilling his tactical concepts into the team.

From this moment on, this Manchester City team is really his Benitez team.

For this reason, he started to use the knife from the coaching staff.

First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the coaches of the coaching staff understand their own tactical requirements and get used to their own training methods, so it is very important to find a coaching staff who cooperates with each other tacitly.

To this end, Benitez almost replaced the entire Manchester City coaching staff, leaving only the team's assistant coach Mark Bowen.

And Benitez has added as many as five members to the coaching staff, including two fitness coaches, namely Antonio Pintus and Paco Demiguel. Among them, Paco Demiguel worked with Benitez when he was in Liverpool. Before he came to Manchester City, he was Liverpool's fitness coach.

There is also an assistant coach Mauricio Pellegrino, who also worked with Benitez in Liverpool, and is now also poached from Liverpool by Manchester City.

A technical director Mauro Pedzzoli, who used to be the sports director of Turin, also worked with Benitez in Liverpool, and was the technical director of Liverpool at the time. Later, he went to AC Milan and was the youth director of AC Milan. He was also poached.

Finally, this new coaching staff also has a scout—Eduardo Macchia, who has worked with Benitez for a longer time. He was a member of Benitez’s coaching staff in the Valencia era. Later, Benitez went to Liverpool. He also left Valencia with Benitez, switched to Liverpool, and continued to be his scout.Now that Benitez wants to form his own coaching team in Manchester City, this scout is naturally indispensable.

In the training camp before this season, the two new fitness coaches were the first to appear.

Based on the results of the physical examination on the first day of the team's registration, they formulated different training plans for each player's different physical conditions and technical characteristics, as well as the requirements of the position on the field.

Everyone's training program is different.

Rongguang's training plan is the most rigorous, demanding, and of the highest standard in the team.

This is not to say that Rongguang has the worst physical fitness and the worst body, and must rely on such a large amount of exercise to improve himself.

In fact, Rongguang's physical fitness is the best in the team, and his physical condition is also the best in the team after the holiday.

But he still arranges such a large amount of training because Rongguang really needs to build up enough physical reserves at the beginning of the season.Because in the next season, Rongguang's performance is directly related to the team's performance.

If nothing else, Benitez didn't think about letting Rong Guang come off the court. As long as he is not injured, let him play the entire game.

This season, Benitez is well aware of the challenges he faces.

His success in taking over halfway last season did not make his life easier this season.

Because he knows that Middle Easterners are actually impatient.

If he fights on two fronts and performs badly, I'm afraid he will follow in the footsteps of Mark Hughes.

After all, he has seen too many such things in football, that is, a mid-range team suddenly qualified for the Champions League, but in the end they were almost relegated in the league after qualifying for the Champions League.

This situation is especially evident in Spanish football.

Valencia, which he once coached, encountered a similar situation. He won the league championship last season and participated in the Champions League next season. In the end, he will definitely not even be able to qualify for the Champions League next season.

This is not just a one-time exception, it is the case twice in a row.

Benitez does not want to repeat his Valencia experience at Manchester City.

Glory is the key, so Benitez attaches great importance to his physical training.

※※※

Every player trains according to the training plan arranged by the coach during the physical training stage.

Different people have different training arrangements.

For example, in the same 200-meter variable-speed run, some people only need to run four sets, while others need to run six sets.

Attacking players also required more time in speed training than midfielders in endurance training programmes.

This is reflected in the training that everyone's training time is different. When everyone's training is over, Rong Guang still stays on the training ground and continues training under the leadership of physical coach Paco Demiguel.

At this time, the players who had finished these training sessions were taking a nap on the sidelines.

They naturally set their sights on the glory still training on the training ground.

"Not to mention, the boss chose Rong to replace Dun En as the captain, it is really the best choice..."

"That's right..."

"Let's not talk about the performance in the game, just talk about his attitude in training..."

"If anyone can train like him, he can also be the captain!"

"Don't be funny, how could someone train like Rong? That's already beyond the standard of ordinary people, haha!"

Having said that, everyone laughed.

Everyone thought it was a very funny joke - how could someone compete with Rong Guang in training?

Rongguang's investment in training is not only the first in Manchester City, but also the first in the entire Premier League.

Even... In the entire continent of Europe, it is impossible for anyone to compare with Rong Guang.

So everyone laughed, like they heard a joke.

But when everyone laughed, there was one exception.

David Silva wasn't laughing, he was staring at Glory sweating profusely on the training ground.

Are you training hard?
I can do it too!
※※※

"Speaking of one thing...David Silva came to me this morning and said he wanted to increase his exercise in training..." In the regular coaching staff meeting every Monday, physical coach Paco Demiguel told Benitez about a strange thing he encountered today.

"David Silva asked to increase the amount of training?" Everyone was surprised when they heard it.

"Did you ask him why?" asked Benitez.

"I asked, and he just said that he hoped to be able to prepare physically as soon as possible... I didn't agree to him. Everyone's training volume has requirements. He doesn't need to increase his training volume regardless of his physical fitness or training standards." Paco Demiguel said.

"It's good that David Silva has such an idea. After all, he has just joined the team. If he wants to speed up his integration into the team, it's okay to invest more in training..." assistant coach Mauricio Pellegrino said.

"Yeah." Benitez nodded, agreeing with fitness coach Paco Demiguel.

The amount of training in physical training cannot be just added, there are requirements.

※※※

After trying to enjoy the same training intensity as Glory was rejected, David Silva did not give up his idea.

He must compete with Rong Guang in training.He believed that since Rongguang could do it, he should be able to do it too.

He wanted to see what was so great about Rong Guang, and even Iniesta became his brainless fan.

Isn't it just that training takes more time and is more intense than ordinary people?

Since the coach does not allow him to do this, then he will train himself after training, just like Rong Guang did!

After his observation these days, he found that Rong Guang would go to the gym to train himself after the normal team training.

So today he decided to go to the gym to train himself!
He will compete with Rong Guang!

※※※

When Rong Guang saw David Silva in the gym, he was a little surprised—he had never seen anyone here after training, and this person came earlier than him...

David Silva just took a look at Rong Guang and continued his training.He is exercising his upper body strength, sitting on the machine, reaching out to grab the handle, and pulling down hard, thus lifting the weight on the opposite side.

Everyone will choose the weight that suits them. If it is too light, it will not be effective for exercise, and if it is too heavy, it will cause muscle strain.

Rong Guang glanced at David Silva, and found that he was pulling very hard every time, gnashing his teeth, with a ferocious face, using all his strength to pull up the opposite weight, his expression became even more ferocious after he pulled it up, his whole face was flushed, and the veins on his neck were protruding.

Rong Guang just glanced at it and didn't care - what's the matter with other people's training?

He sat on his machine and began to work on the muscle strength of his thighs.

Unlike David Silva, Glory is much easier. On the one hand, he chose the right weight. On the other hand, his thigh strength is not weak. Compared with him, David Silva is too thin...

From this point of view, Rong Guang can also understand why David Silva will increase his strength.

Didn't you do the same thing at the beginning?

He smiled and shook his head.

The sound of heavy and dull breathing and the sound of equipment continued to sound in the gym.
