Chapter 264 Preseason Training
Chapter 1 Pre-season training
Atlético de Madrid has ten members participating in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil this year. For the new Champions League winners, this number is probably the fewest among the recent Champions League champions...
But this is not a bad thing for Simeone, which means that his players can get more rest to deal with the new season...and allow more players to have a full pre-season training.

On the first day of pre-season training, the players first underwent a medical examination.After a month and a half of vacation, many players have grown a circle of flesh around their waists.

Except for Li Qingshan!
His physical condition seems to be better than at the end of the season. It can be clearly seen that even during the holidays, Li Qingshan did not relax his requirements.

Simeone is of course very satisfied with this. Although Diego Costa participated in the World Cup and did not return to the team, the transfer negotiations between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea are still advancing. Diego Costa has little hope of staying at Atletico Madrid this season. up.Therefore, the player that Atletico Madrid needs to rely on most on the offensive end in the new season is Li Qingshan.Although he plans to introduce two forwards in the transfer market to fill the gap after Diego Costa and Villa leave the team, after all, the arrival of new aid still needs an adaptation period, so the state of Li Qingshan largely determines Atletico Madrid. The success or failure of the new season.

Atletico Madrid players have undergone a comprehensive physical examination, and Simeone and his coaching team need to collect the physical data of these players to formulate a pre-season training plan for the new season!

For the coaches, pre-season training is the basis for determining the physical condition of the team for a season. The original intention of setting up pre-season training is to reserve enough physical fitness for the long season of more than four months.

But for the players, pre-season training is the hardest period of time, and not many players will enjoy pre-season training.

No matter which player, no matter what level of league he is playing in, what has the most profound impact on their pre-season training, the unified answer of the players is-run, run a lot!
Li Qingshan participated in Atletico Madrid's pre-season training for the first time. On the first day of training, he felt the limit expansion of his heart and lungs...
When he wears a GPS watch on his arm to record the running distance of players, and when he wears an athlete's heart rate monitor like women's underwear, all his real-time data will be stored, and the coaching team will use these every day. The recorded data evaluates the quality of the players' training.

The development of science and technology has brought traditional sports such as football into refined management.Based on these effective sports data, modern football coaches can design each training session, and can specially design different training contents according to different physical data of players.

But in the ancient times when technology was not yet developed, when there was no such equipment, pre-season training was simply a torture for players.The scenes of heavy and ridiculous cross-country running, traditional coarse wheat breakfast, and sitting at the foot of the mountain while smoking and resting can no longer appear in the current football world...

"This is the specific arrangement for each of you in the pre-season training. In the subsequent training, everyone must strictly follow the plan in their hands."

The focus of pre-season training is on high-intensity interval training - popularly, this kind of training requires players to complete explosive movements in short periods of time, such as sprints, sprints and shots, over and over again.

Once the season starts, it is difficult for coaches to focus on players' training on physical fitness-players have to mention games and rest.Therefore, this work is placed more than a month before the start of the season. The coach must carefully plan to ensure that the players adjust their bodies to the best state before the start of the new season.

Li Qingshan experienced a pre-season training led by Lippi in Guangzhou Evergrande, but Lippi is still a relatively old-school training, and the training method is still different from that of young coaches like Simeone.

On the first day of training, Simeone gave everyone a profile.

"Starting today, there are six weeks of pre-season training, everyone must carefully look at the information in your hands - every player's physical condition is different, this is a diet tailored for you Plans and training plans, all the plans must be completed step by step during the next period of time until the NO.20 Super Bowl in August!"

Simeone stood on the training ground, among the players in a circle, and started the first pre-training speech of the new season's pre-season training!

Starting today, Atletico Madrid players will experience what Simeone-style training is.

There's nothing new about Simeone's approach to training, but if anything, it's more refined and more rigorous!

The daily training content is actually very boring. There is not much training with the ball in the pre-season training.

Use such high-intensity running to squeeze every drop of sweat from the players and reserve sufficient physical energy for the new season.Physical fitness is a key factor in winning games-without physical fitness, any tactics, cohesion, and player skills are useless.

Especially for Simeone's team, his tactics require physical support.

In the final moments of the game, if you don't have enough fitness to complete a tackle, or complete a cross against the defender, you can't win the game.

Li Qingshan's training load was particularly heavy, obviously, Simeone took special care of him.

For example, in the 30-meter interval sprint, other players can go to rest after completing about ten sets, but Li Qingshan has to complete fifteen sets of training while his teammates ridicule him, which is more than all other players.

Due to Li Qingshan's strong physical performance last season, Simeone's requirements for Li Qingshan have obviously risen to a higher level.Simeone even believes that through such high-intensity and reasonable physical training, Li Qingshan's physical fitness can be raised to another level!
Of course, no team will just train during pre-season training, and the team will still arrange some warm-up games moderately, so that players can find the feeling of the game.

Their first warm-up match will be at Atletico Madrid's own training base against Manusia, a Spanish second division team, on July 23.

Before this game, Atletico Madrid's No.1 new aid Mandzukic also came to Madrid to meet with the team.The strength of Simeone's team in the new season, on the surface, has not weakened much.

Atletico Madrid will stay in Spain for about ten days. On July 24, they will fly to the United States for a 20-day trip to the United States.

If Simeone were to choose by himself, he would definitely choose to stay in Spain and not go anywhere-the long-distance flight would have too much impact on the team's preparations.

But now it is a commercial society after all, and it is difficult for Atletico Madrid to carry out some commercial activities before each season.
