Stand by the last line of defense

Chapter 8
After flying for nearly a day, I changed planes at Charles de Gaulle Airport in France, and it took about 16 hours to finally arrive in Madrid, the capital of Spain.

The principal of the Spanish branch, Liu Zheng, came to the airport to meet Shi Ping and the others, and took them to the training base of the Spanish branch.

The Spanish branch of Guangda Football School is a new football school, and even the stadium was just built in early June this year.

Sitting on the special bus provided by the school, the first batch of 25 outstanding football youth team members, who were screened by the coaching team of Hengda Football School, came to the Madrid training base.

A very modern football training base with two standard-sized football fields for the junior and youth teams to train separately.

After getting off the bus, a group of students gathered in the lobby of the training base, Principal Shi Ping shouted.

"Now you put your luggage in the dormitory first, and then get familiar with the school. Training will start in two days!

Your parents have worked hard to send you to the vast football schools, and you have won this precious opportunity through your own efforts.

I hope that you will cherish these three years here, work hard to improve your own level, and not let down the hopes of all of you.do you understand? "

25 students shouted in unison. "clear!"

"Very good. Disband!"

Under the urging of the staff, students like Zheng Long came to the dormitory that had been allocated early in the morning.

The youth group has 4 people in a dormitory, and the youth group has 2 people in a dormitory.

Zheng Long and Zhang Jie shared the same dormitory of about ten square meters.

After putting away the luggage, Zhang Jie lay on the bed.

Thinking of La Liga, he couldn't help asking. "Aaron. Do you think we have the strength to stay in Spain and play in La Liga?"

Zheng Long shouted without hesitation. "I will. I will definitely stay in La Liga!"

Hearing Zheng Long's confidence, Zhang Jie smiled wryly.

I really hope that I can be as confident and energetic as Zheng Long.

After more than ten hours of flying, everyone was very tired.After chatting casually for a few words, I fell asleep!
Two days later, most of the youth team players recovered from the jet lag and regained their energy.

These players have started training!

At 7 am on July 14th, Antonio Vilches, the head coach of Guangda Spain, came to the training ground wearing a sportswear.

Antonio Vilches has served as the echelon coach of Atletico Madrid Club and scout of Real Madrid Club for a long time. Star players such as Torres and Garcia came from his school.

Assistant coach Morena has 17 years of coaching experience in Atletico Madrid, including Atletico Madrid's current stars Koke and Saul have been taught by him.

Assistant coach Roberto Frenedso, who has played for Atletico Madrid in his career, has won the La Liga champion and King's Cup champion.He also represented the Spanish national team in the Atlanta Olympic Games.

He was born as a defender, and now he is mainly responsible for training the defenders of the academy.

Assistant coach Jose, who has 8 years of experience as a professional player in La Liga, is one of the head coaches with rich experience in Real Madrid echelon coaching.He is responsible for the technical development of the academy's midfielders.

Assistant coach Andre has served as the goalkeeper coach of the Spanish U16-U21 national team, training a world-class goalkeeper and Manchester United's current main goalkeeper David De Gea.He is in charge of goalkeeper training.

Santiago, strength and conditioning trainer.He has coached in Real Madrid for 13 years, including 10 years as a physical coach in the first team of Real Madrid, and has cooperated with head coaches including Mourinho and Ancelotti; he has coached the world's top stars including Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Zidane, Cannavaro and other stars.

It can be said that the coaching configuration of the Spanish football branch is still very strong.

Students like Zheng Long come to the Spanish branch school to study, not only to practice football every day, but also to study cultural courses, including Spanish.

After finishing the cultural class on Monday, the training starts at 10 o'clock.

Each player will be assigned to a different group according to their respective positions and undergo different training.

There is no training on Tuesday, and cultural lessons are studied all day.

Wednesday to Friday morning is a joint practice, led by the coaching team.Study culture class in the afternoon.

And on Saturday morning, there will be a friendly match with a local team of the same age in Madrid.

Compared with others, Zheng Long, who almost lost the opportunity to continue playing football, knows how to cherish the opportunity he now has to continue playing football and become a professional player.

After Zheng Long came to Spain, in addition to taking cultural classes, it was training!

Every day at 6 o'clock in the morning, Zheng Long gets up, runs on the football field, and does basic training.

He practiced until 8 o'clock in the morning. Before the teacher who instructs the cultural class arrived, Zheng Long would use this time to memorize the Spanish words he had just learned during his break.

Then put on clean clothes and go to cultural class.

After 10 o'clock, in the training ground.

The assistant coach began to explain some basic tactics in front of the tactical board.

Listening to some positioning and position selection skills explained by the Spanish coach, Zheng Long was particularly inspired, some behaviors that were previously hazy and acted with consciousness.

Now it's clear, and I understand better how I should stand as a goalkeeper, and when it's time to attack decisively.

But these are just icing on the cake for Zheng Long.

What makes Zheng Long happy is that he can play against young Spanish talents here.

The coaches of the Spanish branch want to prove their strength and influence.

Less than 5 days after arriving in Spain, they contacted the Atletico Madrid Youth Team and planned to hold a friendly match between the Atletico Madrid Youth B Team and the Hengda Youth Team this Saturday.

You must know that the Atletico Madrid youth team is very famous, and has cultivated many top stars in the world.Like Torres, David De Gea and others.

Hearing that they will play against the Atletico Madrid Youth B team, the majority of the youth teams are very excited.

What is the purpose of training hard every day?
Isn't it for one day, you can join a professional football club and participate in real professional games?

If you beat them in the game, wouldn't it mean that you are stronger than them.

By that time, it was not easy to be appreciated by professional clubs in La Liga.

The establishment of the Spanish training base itself has attracted the attention of many Spanish club staff
Hearing that they were going to play a friendly match with the Atletico Madrid Youth B team, many club staff and media reporters came to the vast Spanish training base on Saturday.

Come to the vast Spanish branch and see the modern training ground of the training base.

Many players of the Atletico Madrid Youth B team couldn't help showing envious eyes.

The Atletico Madrid training base has only 6 fields, two of which are used for the training of the first team, and the remaining four are used by youth players.

Four bases seem like a lot, but Atletico Madrid has as many as 92 echelons, youth team, youth B team, U17 team, U17B team...

There are nearly a thousand young players of all ages.

It can be said that a training field for the youth team needs to accommodate more than 200 people, allocating times and time periods for training.

Compared with the general side, it is so extravagant that only 25 people can train in one training ground.

This allows Atletico Madrid players to see how not to be envious.

Caio Enrique, a Brazilian, looked at the vast number of players training in the other half and said sourly.

"Giving such a good training ground to them is too wasteful. It would be great if it were given to us! We don't have to crowd with the U17 team! Huaxia people are rich!"

Left midfielder Joaquin Munoz looked around at an article about the environment of Hengda Football Campus, and sarcastically said indignantly.

"Yes! But it's useless for them to have money. I heard that they have only participated in the World Cup once in so many years. They didn't score a goal, didn't score a point, and their opponents scored 9 goals.

Now the world ranks above 70, and we are not at the same level as our Spanish opponents.In this game against us, you said how many goals we want to score them!Do you want to be merciful, just score 10 goals! "
