Godfather of national football

Chapter 333 Eye-opening
That afternoon, Li Guo drove to Dortmund's training base - Brakel.Under normal circumstances, this place is not open to the outside world, because it hides Uncle Zha's football secrets.

After being checked by the guards, Li Guo successfully entered the training base, and Klopp was on his way.

"How about Li Guo, the beauties in our club took good care of you, right?"

Li Guo joked: "That's right, it would be even better if I could take it home."

"Haha, fuck you."

Walking into Brakel, Li Guo felt refreshed. In fact, when Li Guo was in Germany, it happened to be the time when German football was transformed and upgraded. At that time, Germany had just been eliminated in the group stage of the European Cup in 2004. The German Football Association learned from the pain and began to invest heavily in football infrastructure.

So many things have improved a lot compared to when Li Guo was there. The first is the most basic and important training ground.

Klopp introduced the turf situation of the training base, which can be divided into many types-artificial turf, artificial grass mixed with natural grass, geothermal field, and a training field that is exactly the same as the turf of Signal Iduna Park, which is prepared for the first team.

Each court is equipped with lights and cameras. The cameras will record everything about training and games, and upload them to the server automatically. Players and coaches can turn on the computer to review the whole process after training.

"So high-tech?"

Li Guo remembers that Chen An had to take a DV to record on the side of the court, and then import it into his laptop, so that Li Guo could watch the training process, which was quite troublesome. For this reason, Li Guo specially learned video editing technology.

"This must be learned," Li Guo thought to himself.

"Is this equipment expensive?"

Klopp shrugged, "It seems to be okay, Li Guo, you know, the money that should be spent cannot be saved."

"That's true!"

As he walked, Li Guo saw an old acquaintance whom he met this morning, American Mark, and Klopp called out to him, "Mark, take Li to see the secrets of our training, but don't show him too much, this guy is too thief."

The three looked at each other and smiled, Li Guo followed Mark into a building that looked like a basketball stadium, "Why does this look like a basketball stadium?"

"It's not like, but this is the basketball hall."

This was beyond Li Guo's expectation. Before Li Guo could speak, Mark continued: "This training hall has two purposes. The first is to play basketball. You know that. The second is indoor football."

Following the direction Mark pointed, Li Guo saw the small goal, which is the kind of indoor football. Li Guo asked, "Is it prepared for snow or rain?"

Mark shook his head, "No, there is a standard-sized indoor court in the training base, which is not difficult now. This indoor court is for training players' small skills. Do you know futsal?"

"of course."

"Here, we will lay a carpet. Players don't wear sneakers when they play football, but only wear socks to train players' ball sense and small skills."

Li Guo watched with great interest and asked questions from time to time. Mark answered Li Guo's questions patiently. Seeing this, Li Guo suddenly remembered a piece of news he had read on the Internet.

"I want to see footbonaut."

As soon as the words came out, Mark and Klopp were stunned for a moment. It seemed that Li Guo came prepared. In fact, Li Guo saw the footbonaut completely on the Internet.

It is said that only three places in the world have such training equipment, Dortmund, Hoffenheim and Qatar Football Association.

The secret training device, invented by Christian Guttler at the University of Berlin, is not only complicated but also expensive to fake.

To put it simply, the footbonaut is a square cage with 4 tee openings and 64 squares around it. The ball is sent out from the tee opening, and the squares light up after receiving the ball. You need to send the ball into it to complete the training.You can set the number of catches, the speed of serving and the difficulty of passing and receiving in a training session in the background.

"That's it?" Li Guo thought it was some great invention, "This thing is very common, so I can do it too."

Mark smiled, "Okay, then you can try."

The fastest speed of this equipment is 100, and the lowest is 10. Mark said: "Li Guo, Royce usually trains at a speed of 80. I'll adjust it to 30 for you. Try it first."

Li Guo waved his hand, "No need, just give me 80."

Klopp showed an expression of watching the show, "Mark, then you can satisfy him."

Mark adjusted the speed to 80 and signaled Li Guo to start. The first ball was sent from Li Guo's front left.

Li Guo stretched out his feet to stop the ball, but the ball slipped away from his feet, that is to say, Li Guo didn't stop the ball at all, which is too embarrassing. Under normal circumstances, it is excusable to stop the ball too big, but if you don't even touch the ball, then you are still playing.

The next few balls were similar, and Li Guo missed the rolling ball, which made Li Guo very angry.

"Stop playing."

Li Guo walked out of the training "cage" straight away. He didn't know if he didn't try it. After trying it, he realized how difficult this training equipment was.

"It's no wonder that Dortmund players' skills are so good. They were trained here," Li Guo thought, "I'll get a set and put it in the national team's training base when I go back."

In addition, Li Guo also learned that in addition to purchasing, Dortmund also has its own technology research and development team to develop some auxiliary training equipment.

Coming out of the indoor training ground, Li Guo saw that Dortmund's first-team stars had already started training on the field, including Royce, Lewandowski, Gundogan, Aubameyang and others.

Royce passed the ball lightly under the siege of three teammates, and then handed the ball to Lewandowski, who leaned on the defender and passed the ball to Aubameyang.The latter faced the goalkeeper and scored.

Although it was just training, Li Guo couldn't help applauding the series of attacks that were pleasing to the eye.

Klopp came over, "I'm sorry Li Guo, the training session in the afternoon has started, I can't accompany you, let Mark take you to continue the tour."

Li Guo shook his head, "No need, I have seen everything that needs to be seen. In fact, those equipments are secondary. What moved me the most was Dortmund's seriousness to details. You are doing football like aerospace engineering. This is what I admire the most."

Klopp grinned, "You have praised us too much, all aerospace projects have come out."

Li Guo chuckled, "Maybe this is the reason for your success, I think I have learned your seriousness."

Klopp patted Li Guo, "Well, no matter what, stay and finish the meal, Brakel's restaurant is still good."

Li Guo smiled and nodded, "Thank you then."
