Champion’s Heart

PS, high-energy early warning-this chapter has a lot of professional science popularization and introduction, don’t read it if you don’t like it!

It's been a week of physical training, Oliver, how is the physical training of the players? Klopp asked Oliver Bartlett, the head of the physical coaching staff sitting opposite him.

Most people are doing pretty well, with some improvement in fitness. Plus...

Um?

One person is improving very fast. Bartlett took out a copy from the physical fitness report and handed it to Klopp.

Zhouyi's? Klopp saw the name on the report.

Yes. Bartlett said. I just said that he is a talented player in terms of physical fitness. He has poor physical fitness before because he has never received formal professional physical training. I bet his previous physical training may be running around the football field. Just a few laps.

In fact, Bartlett overestimated Zhou Yi too much. In the past, Zhou Yi would only run two or three laps on the track when the school had sports standards. Compared with boring running, he prefers to play football.

When Bartlett was speaking, Klopp looked down at the report, which showed the changes in Zhou Yi's daily training situation intuitively in the form of charts.

Dortmund's physical training stage was an eye-opener for Zhou Yi because of his professionalism.

Every player has to wear a special tight-fitting T-shirt when performing physical training. There are some electrodes inside the T-shirt, which are attached to the body, which can monitor the player's heart rate and pulse changes in real time, and upload them to the physical fitness center through the wireless network. Physical fitness of the coaching staff. In this way, the physical data of each Dortmund player in the physical training stage can be easily archived and managed, so that the coaches can grasp the player's situation in real time.

If an abnormal heart rhythm is found during training, the coach will immediately intervene and ask the player to reduce the intensity of exercise until the heart rate returns to normal.

On the one hand, it ensures the training safety of the players, and on the other hand, it also ensures the quality of training.

We let him train at a maximum heart rate of more than 85 percent for 60 minutes, once a day, for seven days. It can be seen that his maximum heart rate dropped five times. This is a very remarkable change. To Knowing that professional endurance athletes also train like this, it takes seven weeks to drop ten times. And he only used one week to drop five times, which shows that he is very talented in endurance. Bartlett continued to explain road.

In addition, let him train at 60% to 90% of the maximum heart rate for 20 minutes to an hour, five times in seven days, and his cardiovascular function has also improved significantly. This is reflected in The change in physical fitness. There is an obvious and intuitive change, it is difficult for you to see him paralyzed on the ground after training like the first day, right?

Klopp thought about it carefully, and it was really like this. He trained three times a day. After each training in the last few days, Zhou Yi's performance was indeed better than before.

It's really unexpected. I didn't expect such a huge energy in this boy's thin body. Klopp shook his head and said with emotion.

Yeah, speaking of this, I'm pretty incredible. Bartlett said. Training such a person gives me a sense of accomplishment.

Klopp put aside Zhou Yi's fitness report and looked at Bartlett: But it's not enough,

oliver. Such results are not good enough.

This made Bartlett feel a little bit of being splashed with cold water. He asked in surprise: Not good enough? This is much better than when he was in the youth team...

The youth team is the youth team. We are the first team. The first team has the requirements of the first team. That and the youth team are completely different worlds.

But as far as the first-team players are concerned, if he continues to practice according to our current training plan, it is enough to meet the first-team appearance standards.

Is it enough just to play? Klopp asked with a smile, I don't think he thinks so, does he? Me too. My requirements for him are not just as simple as being able to play in the first team. .”

This... Bartlett didn't expect Klopp to value such a youth team player so much.

If he knew that Klopp had personally flown to Barcelona to persuade Zhou Yi to join Dortmund, he probably wouldn't be so surprised.

Seeing that Bartlett hesitated, Klopp turned his head and asked Dr. Marcus Braun: Doctor, do you think Zhou Yi's body can withstand more exercise?

Forty-two-year-old Dr. Markus Braun is an expert in sports medicine and the head of Dortmund's team medical team. He leads his team to closely monitor the physical condition of the players every day. The coaching staff will be notified immediately to stop the training or adjust the training plan to reduce the intensity and avoid injury to the players.

So if you want to ask whether Zhou Yi can withstand more intense training, you must ask Dr. Braun.

Dr Braun opened a form from his laptop and told Klopp: I noticed an interesting phenomenon. At the beginning of training, his lactate threshold was not prominent in the whole team, which corresponds to the He gave us the impression that he is not a player who can't run to death, but as the training progressed, I found that his lactate threshold increase was not very prominent, but it did give people the feeling that he was not so tired in training. The lactate threshold did not increase significantly , but the athletic ability has improved, I wonder why is there such a situation?

Lactate threshold is used as a reference index to measure a player's athletic ability.

When a person is exercising, due to the anaerobic metabolism of the body, lactic acid will be produced in the blood and accumulated. Lactic acid will make people feel burning pain in the muscles of the body. This is why many people feel pain after exercising. There will be muscle soreness.

The lactic acid threshold refers to the beginning of a sharp rise in blood lactic acid concentration when the exercise intensity reaches a certain load. It is also a turning point when the metabolic energy supply mode of the human body changes from aerobic metabolism to anaerobic metabolism.

A sharp increase in blood lactic acid concentration means that a large amount of lactic acid has accumulated in the body, which means that the body's ability to decompose lactic acid has declined. The speed of lactic acid production is much faster than the body's recovery speed, which will lead to a sharp increase in blood lactic acid concentration. At this time, the local tissues of the body will change. In order to avoid damage to muscle cells, the body's metabolic process will slow down, which is the body's self-protection and a manifestation of fatigue.

A high lactic acid threshold means that the transition from aerobic to anaerobic is high, which means that the body's aerobic exercise ability is better, because the range of aerobic metabolism for energy supply is extended. Therefore, endurance athletes, such as long-distance running, long-distance swimming and cycling, have a higher lactic acid threshold than non-endurance athletes such as sprinting and short-distance swimming.

But Zhou Yi's lactic acid threshold didn't increase much, but his physical fitness improved, which is indeed a bit strange.

Later we tested his maximal oxygen uptake, and found that his maximal oxygen uptake was very high, and he was at the top of the team, not losing at all to those players with good physical strength. I think this is the reason - he has a pair of The gifted lungs can inhale and process more oxygen than ordinary people. At the same time, he also has a very strong heart, which can compress the oxygen to the maximum extent with the blood to all parts of the body. From this aspect, he is indeed a talent in physical fitness type player.

The maximum oxygen uptake is also an index to measure a person's exercise capacity, which refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that the human body can ingest, transport and utilize during exercise.

Generally speaking, lactate threshold can be significantly improved by professional training. However, the maximum oxygen uptake is limited by genetic factors and cannot be significantly increased through acquired training. So Dr. Braun said that Zhou Yi is a talented player, which is completely scientifically based-the maximum oxygen uptake depends on genetics. Isn't this talent?

In addition, because of our method of detecting lactic acid, we usually draw blood to detect lactic acid after the players exercise. At this time, the blood lactic acid concentration of the players has begun to decline, so the detected lactic acid threshold does not represent the player's highest level. However, I think this can explain Zhou Yi's excellent physical recovery ability, otherwise, it would not be possible for the lactic acid threshold to be able to perform better and better in physical fitness without being too high.

Hearing what Dr. Braun said, Bartlett next to him also nodded his head: Yes, after all, football does not need to maintain a rhythm of aerobic exercise for a long time, but to constantly maintain aerobic and anaerobic exercise. When switching between oxygen, body recovery is often more important than lactate threshold.

Thus, through the monitoring and analysis of his physical data, I think... Zhou Yi's excellent physical recovery ability does allow him to withstand more intense training. Dr. Braun finally gave his conclusion.

Klopp clapped his hands together: Then let us see how much potential he still has to be squeezed out!

He thought of the scene when Zhou Yi told himself that he wanted to get the guarantee of the first team.

Does that kid think that everything will be fine if he comes to the first team? Entering the first team means that you can stand out?

Well, tell him now that's just the beginning of hell! Want to stand out? How can it be possible without putting in more effort than others? !

Being in the first team doesn't mean it's a good thing at all...

※※※

In the hotel room at night, Zhou Yi turned on the computer, left a message to his parents on QQ, and reported his recent training and life.

This is the first time he has logged on to QQ since he came to Radkersburg. Before that, he didn't have much energy or thought of going to QQ.

Recently, he feels that he has been able to cope with the team's physical training, and he feels a little more relaxed. This is an improvement, so he wants to come up to report the good news to his parents.

...the training of the first team was much harder than I imagined, Dad. But I think I am also very good, because I have persisted, and now I feel that it is not as hard as it was in the first days. My physical fitness is better than before. It's much better, now I can go up to the fifth floor in one breath without panting and legs...

In fact, Zhou Yi has a very intuitive way to know his progress in physical fitness, but he has no way to tell his father about this, so he has to use this way of teasing advertisements to tell his father his current physical condition.

In the virtual world, Zhou Yi pays attention to his attributes every day.

In addition to his perverted vision, his current highest value is short pass, which has reached 79. This is due to his continuous training in the virtual world and reality.

Passing the ball is what he is built on, and of course he attaches great importance to this. In the training in the virtual system, more than half of his time was spent on passing training. Fortunately, there are various training methods in the virtual system, which are quite interesting and challenging, so Zhou Yi does not feel boring when practicing——Zhou Yi is most afraid of boring things...so in the past, he was very interested in physical training. It's also the reason why he doesn't catch a cold. He can't bear to run around invariably.

Later, when he came to Dortmund, he found that he couldn't improve his physical fitness, and he couldn't even play in the youth team, let alone the first team. Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and insisted on accepting the boring physical training.

But his persistence paid off.

In addition to the best short pass value, it is physical strength.

Zhou Yi's current physical strength value is 71, which is almost the physical fitness of a qualified first-team player. Of course, whether he can play every game for 90 minutes is another matter. At least he will not even play in the first-team team. None of the qualifications.

Physical fitness is no longer an important factor holding back Zhouyi.

But Zhou Yi saw clearly that before starting the first-team training, his physical fitness was actually sixty-four. In just one week, the value increased by seven points, which showed that the effect of this physical training was very significant.

Zhou Yi felt a little strange looking at this progress - when did he become so talented in physical fitness? He always thought that he was the kind of player with poor stamina and slow speed, but with a good brain. He relied on his brain instead of his body. He didn't expect to find that his endurance was far better than he imagined. Zhou Yi had a kind of I used to be It's not the feeling of pointing the wrong talent point.

However, good physical fitness is always a good thing, because his playing style requires a lot of running, and good physical fitness can prevent him from being replaced or disappearing in the final stage of the game.

In addition to physical fitness, Zhou Yi has also made good progress in terms of strength.

Remember that Zhou Yi just owned this system and saw how much his strength data is?

Poor Eleven.

And now his strength value is already forty-nine, which is almost half of the full value. Although he is still not a very strong player, he is much better than before. Besides, Zhou Yi didn't spend as much time on strength training as physical training.

In other aspects of statistics, crossing is not Zhou Yi's strong point, only forty, shooting is only fifty-seven because he has not deliberately trained, header is fifty-one, and volley is forty-six.

Judging from the offensive statistics, when Zhou Yi transitioned to play as an organization midfielder, his foundation as a striker was still there. It's just that I didn't deliberately train the ability in this area.

On the defensive side, Zhou Yi's stats were appalling, with 10 man-to-man marks, 15 steals, 14 tackles, and 9 interceptions.

Zhou Yi was not good at defense in the first place. When he was in the youth team, his defense was at most eye defense and stream of consciousness defense.

He has never practiced defense, nor has he considered developing on the defensive side.

In terms of personal skills, Zhou Yi's dribbling is quite satisfactory, reaching fifty. He is not the kind of dribbling king with fancy moves, and he rarely trains with the ball alone in the game. His dribbling may only be used to get rid of the first defender and allow him to pass the football. That's all.

In terms of arc, Zhou Yi's data is 51, which is also quite satisfactory. He is not a player with a particularly good arc like Beckham, but it is not bad either.

In terms of free kick accuracy, Zhou Yi is only 41, because he has never practiced free kicks, he has no idea about this, and the team did not let him take free kicks.

The long pass is Zhou Yi's weakness, only forty-seven, it may be okay just looking at the data, but compared with the short pass of seventy-nine, it is too far behind.

The ball control data last week was fifty-nine, which is not bad. However, as long as Zhou Yi's ball control is hindered by lack of strength, because in a football game, no matter how good the ball control skills are under your feet, if the opponent makes a reasonable collision and squeezes you, it cannot be regarded as controlling the ball.

In terms of physical attributes, Zhou Yi's shooting strength is fifty-two, which is quite satisfactory.

Bounce fifty, the same is very ordinary.

Physical strength has been mentioned before, seventy-one, not bad.

Strength forty-nine, long-range shot forty-seven. Also so-so.

Acceleration and sprint speed Zhou Yi's progress is very slow, because the quality of speed is not something that can be improved by acquired training. If there is no talent, it is difficult to improve. Fortunately, in Zhouyi's muscle fibers, the speed muscles have a slight advantage, so Zhouyi's speed is not too unbearable. But after training for so long, the increase is also very slow.

The acceleration is 61, and the sprint speed is 60. Compared with when Zhou Yi first got the system, they have only increased by 4 points. Judging from this growth rate, it is impossible for Zhou Yi to become a speed player like the alien Ronaldo and Kaka in his life.

However, if you lose something, you will gain something. Zhou Yi is not good in terms of speed, but in terms of flexibility, balance, and response, Zhou Yi is not bad.

Seventy for flexibility, sixty-eight for responsiveness, and sixty-nine for balance. This may also have something to do with Zhou Yi's short stature and not being strong. Players who are too strong will definitely suffer in terms of flexible ratings.

In terms of other attributes, the general Zhouyi is 41, which is much higher than his initial one, but the psychological quality has changed a lot, and the data is actually not accurate. This is the data in one day, and it may be a day later. It becomes another data. Moreover, the aggressiveness does not only refer to the aggressiveness in defense, but also refers to the activeness of participating in the offense. Zhou Yi is not aggressive in the defense at all, but after coming to Dortmund, he is more and more active in participating in the offense up.

The vision is still ninety-nine, no change.

With 47 penalty kicks, he is not the kind of player that any team will give priority to when taking penalty kicks.

In terms of offensive position, Zhou Yi has sixty-six attributes, which is not bad.

In terms of total score, Zhou Yi has risen to sixty-eight.

As an eighteen-year-old player, this attribute is still reasonable.

However, Zhou Yi is a serious player, so he can't just look at the overall score.
