i don't want to be king

Chapter 156

Vieira's office was almost cleaned up a long time ago, but fortunately the chairs were still there.

Adams sat leisurely on the sofa, and the two chatted.

Vieira gradually relaxed, thinking to himself that it seems that Adams is still honest with him, and the old captain has not changed.

After chatting for a while, the common language of these two people inevitably fell on Arsenal again.

While discussing the professor's signings in recent years, Perez knocked on the door.

The expression on his face became visibly serious, and he passed the few pages of paper in his hand to Vieira as he entered the door.

Vieira looked outside the door and asked, "Why didn't they come back?

Where is Matthew? "

Perez looked at Adams from the sidelines: "Gentlemen, Cook and I decided to temporarily add some test items.

Mr. Li's physical fitness has reached above the standard!
What surprised us in particular was that his balance on his legs was absolutely top-notch, as was his overall coordination and reaction speed.

Now Matthew is testing his aerobic capacity, and he will evaluate his jumping and acceleration abilities later, and the results of blood and urine tests will come out soon. "

Vieira was a little dazed for a moment.

Out of respect for Adams before, he temporarily brought Perez and Kukla over, and he had already agreed with them in advance that it was just a simple cutscene.

He wasn't really counting on the 25-year-old amateur from China to be a "rough jade," as Adams put it.

According to his understanding, the level of Chinese football has declined significantly in recent years, and the number and quality of overseas players are obviously not as good as they were back then. There has never been the same level as the few Chinese players he has played against in the Premier League.

In the American major leagues, there is only one Chinese striker who has played for the Vancouver Whitecaps for a year, and disappeared after scoring one goal.

There is another important reason. Among the retired players who came out of the "first phase of Wenger", Adams was the most unsatisfactory among those who chose to work as coaches such as Gardner, Bergkamp, ​​Boulder and himself one of.

Before going to a club in Azerbaijan, Adams only left a short and failed coaching experience at the Wycombe Wanderers Club in the English Second Division and the Portsmouth Club in the English First Division.

Thinking of this, he looked at Perez suspiciously.

Perez was obviously very serious: "Patrick, I suggest you look at the data first."

Vieira put on his glasses and looked at him seriously, looked at him and said, "Tony, you said that Li had never experienced any professional training two months ago?!"

Adams was inexplicable: "As far as I know, it is indeed the case!"

Vieira handed the inspection record to Adams and said, "Let's take a look."

When Adams turned to the second page, Vieira said: "Tony, I want to take a look at Lee's test now, let's go."

Adams smiled and stood up and raised the data in his hand: "I'm not surprised by these data at all, you know?

Compared with his body, what surprised me the most is here! "He said and pointed to his head.

The three went upstairs, and Adams said as they walked: "When I saw him for the first time in China early last month, he could barely say 'hello', just a few words.

But since he got off the plane yesterday, we have talked about everything, and I even taught him how to pick up girls! "

Vieira laughed loudly: "Tony, stop bragging, how is this possible!

If he can master French in a month, then I can trust you! "

When they came upstairs, Li Liang was wearing a breathing mask used by fighter pilots and a mesh vest with several sensors. He was running as hard as he could on a very large treadmill.

Everyone noticed that Cook, who was standing aside, was staring at the computer screen intently, and was still constantly increasing the speed and incline of the treadmill!
Vieira was also a little secretly surprised. It can be roughly seen that Li Liang's aerobic metabolism is definitely far beyond ordinary people!
The test was finally over, and the treadmill gradually decelerated and the slope gradually descended. Daxiong stepped forward to help Li Liang, who was almost exhausted, and helped him relax.

Cook looked a little frustrated: "I lost, Lee!
you win! "

Li Liang had already put on his coat, and smiled with a flushed face.

He raised his hand to Cook, and Cook also smiled and waved his hands vigorously to give Li Liang a loud high-five.

Cook picked up the printed data and explained to the puzzled Vieira: "Li's aerobic metabolism VO2max has reached an astonishing 69, which is close to the level of Yaya Toure and Fernandinho. .”

Vieira was shocked. During his four years in charge of Manchester City's youth training, including two years as the head coach of the youth team, among the young players under him, there are only a handful of young players whose VO2max index exceeds 70.

And as Cook said, even in the first team, 69 is a very high number.

He had just seen the body data of the whole team in New York City. Among them, the best level of VO2max reached 77, which is already very close to the index of high-level marathon runners!
The average level of the New York City team is 63. You must know that the major league players generally attach great importance to physical fitness!It seems that at least in this indicator, Li Liang has a satisfactory performance.

Cook asked for instructions: "Patrick, I also want to test his jumping and acceleration abilities, and by the way, his sprint ability, and..."

Vieira interrupted Cook with a wave, and he said: "No, let's save that for another time. Now I want to see Lee's performance on the court."

He turned around and asked Li Liang: "Li, do you need a break?

After a while, the main stadium of the base happens to have training for the reserve team. Do you want to try it? "

Li Liang gritted his teeth and put on his clothes: "Thank you, I haven't played football for two days, and my feet can't wait!"

Vieira nodded in satisfaction, and said to Perez: "Take him to the locker room to get ready."

But Cook said helplessly: "Uh, it's like this, I had a bet with Mr. Li, and I lost, so I'm sorry that I have to stay to fulfill our agreement!"

Vieira was inexplicable, Cook explained: "Before the test, I explained the meaning of VO2max to Li. We originally bet that his value could not exceed 55..."

Vieira understands in no time. Cook, who has rich work experience, usually likes to use his eyes to estimate various indicators of players, and they are usually very accurate.

Only this time, Li Liang surprised him.

"So what's your bet?" Vieira asked.

Li Liang pointed to the big bear and replied clearly: "I would like to ask Mr. Cook to conduct a complete set of tests on Zou Feixiong!"
