Chapter 297 Surprise on the Outdoor Training Field

This key training did not last for a long time, and we left the training room soon after the game.When we left the gravity training room, we were already sweating profusely and panting.However, the coach did not let us go. He told us that after gravity training, we need to recover from non-gravity training. The main content of such a recovery is running!
For our Croatian team, physical fitness has always been a weakness.Through these two trainings in the gravity training room, I don't know how many breakthroughs we can make in physical fitness.So our coach called us to the training ground outside, just to let us try to run a [-]-minute run, so as to judge how much this kind of physical training can help us.

In the past 3100-minute run, our Croatian team’s performance has not been very good. The average player can run around 2900 meters. Some players with physical difficulties can’t even run 3400 meters. The person with the best physical fitness can only run about 1 meters, which is already the No.[-] of the team.

Such results, compared with the traditional European teams, there is a big gap.Although we rely on our technical advantages and have a certain status in European football, our physical condition has always been criticized in European football. It is often difficult for our players to run more than 10 meters in 1 minutes. It also limited our performance in the whole game.Compared with countries with strong physical abilities like Germany, Italy and England, our 200-minute run is generally about [-] meters slower than theirs, which is very insufficient.

We gathered on the track and field track next to the football field. After the coach blew his whistle, we started the 2-minute running training.At the beginning, it was several young players who ran to the front of the team, including Giarni, Bilic, and Stanic.Among them, Garni is the fastest.Although Garni's absolute speed is the fastest, his physical condition is not the best.His strength lies in short sprints, not long runs.Gianni's 1-minute run may be about the same level as mine.After about one or two minutes, Garni was kicked off from the No.1 position. At this time, Stanich became No.[-], and Garni was slowly caught up.

I'm at the back of the team.In the beginning, my running was pretty slow, but it was just a strategy.I'm not slow in absolute terms, but I'm not in great shape either.In order to save energy, the average distribution is among the [-] minutes. I often run relatively slowly at the beginning, and in the end, the energy saved gradually becomes more effective.

After about 4 to 5 minutes, I slowly caught up and was no longer in the bottom position, but Gianni slowly ran slower and slower, and reached the middle position.In front of me are Boban, Prosineski and other midfielders. Because they are all technical players, they don't pay much attention to physical training.They have always focused on enhancing the feel of the ball under their feet, and they don't pay much attention to the combination of strength and technology. As for physical fitness, they don't pay much attention to it. Good technique, aim for less movement.They hardly defend. When attacking, they will use their skilled foot skills to control the ball and mobilize their opponents to run around, but they can walk relatively slowly in the center of the field-this style of play makes Boban The running in each game with Prosinecki is often only between 8000 and 9000 meters, and rarely 1 meters.As a midfielder, this kind of running is completely inconsistent with the development of modern football, but they have the best skills in Europe. Their transfers can completely allow them to tear apart the opponent's defense without running a lot. So they are no longer willing to practice physical fitness.However, without the support of midfielders with sufficient physical fitness, our midfield offense is no problem, but it is quite difficult to do a good job in defense, full of loopholes.In particular, we are playing a double attacking midfielder formation, but we do not have a strong midfielder. As a compensation for the double attacking midfielder formation behind the midfield, we can only rely on the central defender to lean forward slightly to strengthen the defense. This is for us It is a very big hidden danger.Just like when we were playing against the second team of Tottenham Hotspur, we were caught by Tottenham Hotspur due to the lack of a midfielder in the midfield and the lack of connection between the midfielder and the defense. Had a chance and scored a goal.Such an opportunity, even Tottenham Hotspur's second team can seize it, let alone those strong teams in the European Cup?Whether it is Germany, England, Italy or Portugal, the Netherlands, France, each of these teams has very strong strength.Their forwards are very fast. If they can catch the loopholes in our defense, they will attack our midfield with a strong midfielder, putting pressure on our central defenders and having to come out.At this time, they can also hit us with a tough offense and score goals.

In any case, for Boban and Boksic, it is still very necessary to practice physical fitness. As the number one star of the Croatian team, it is the same.I am a main player who manages the entire Croatian team. It is also part of my job to urge my teammates to practice physical fitness. I can't just improve my own strength, I must also strengthen the strength of my teammates.Only when a hundred flowers bloom, can the Croatian team achieve something in the European Cup.

8 to 9 minutes passed, and by this time our team had clearly opened up the gap.The one who ran at the front was Stanich, and the ones who ran at the back, except for a few traditionally physically challenged households, were Giaerni and others.Gianni was indeed running slower and slower, and his speed could no longer be raised.

But to my surprise, Boban and Prosineski gradually began to speed up—they didn’t seem to like being immersed in the title of physically difficult households, but practiced a lot of speed through the gravity training room with power!In the final sprint, Boban even rushed to the top three positions!

At the same time, I also quickly rushed to the front.I, who had been saving energy before, was finally able to run at full speed in the final stage. At this time, my ranking in the team climbed from the middle to the top four.
