Chapter 11 First Team Report Luis Enrique prefers to train players' brains The corner flag area on the pitch. The staff used "small hula hoops" to create a "chessboard". The players were divided into two groups. Each player in Group A holds a red vest. Each player in Group B holds a blue vest. The vest is the "chess piece". "Gao, have you ever played Gobang? Same rules. Come on, seal your nostrils first, and remember to leave a little gap for breathing." "Each group sends one person to play chess each time." "Listen carefully to the assistant coach's instructions. He will tell us when to run at an average speed and when to run at full speed." The staff handed each player a Band-Aid and asked them to put it on their noses.

Beep! Accompanied by the referee's whistle. Lamela and Bojan rushed out of their respective teams, ran fifty meters, and threw their vests at any of the "small hula hoops" at random. Then came the second, third, and fourth rounds. The later the players get, the more they need to use their brains to play chess. The "little hula hoop" was gradually covered by the red and blue vest. The purpose of this content is to train players to think with their brains while running. 30 minute later. Several players couldn't help but slow down. Running at changing speeds with their nostrils sealed with Band-Aids was a huge drain on their physical energy. Beep! Enrique stopped the training and let the whole team rest for one minute. He looked at Gao Qi, who had won three rounds of Go, with a puzzled expression: "Do you usually play this kind of game?" Gao Qi shook his head: "No." I never think of playing Gobang in normal times. In 2011, there weren’t many entertainment options for single football players, if they didn’t go out to bars, drink and hang out with young models. In the next 60 minutes, the venue was changed and the players experienced Enrique's modified version of "23-man circle" and "triangle pass and run" and other training contents. There is absolutely no opportunity for long breaks. Coach K likes to compress training time and turn training into a high-intensity game. At last. The assistant coach blew the whistle to end the training. Accompanied by cheers, most of the players fell exhausted on the green field. The deputy captain, De Rossi, quickly called on everyone to walk slowly.

Nicknamed: "The Eternal Second". He casually took the dry towel handed to him by the staff and threw one to Gao Qi. No extra words, this was his way of welcoming. Many Roma fans believe that if there was no Totti, De Rossi might be the "Wolf King" of Roma. There is plenty of rain in Rome during the winter. A light drizzle began to fall from the sky. Boyang enthusiastically helped Gao Qi take off his electronic vest: "Go to the lounge and lie down for a while, or go to the recreation room to play games. We will gather in a few hours." The physiotherapists and masseurs at the Roma Club only appear in the early morning and evening every day. Another young midfielder, Miralem Pjanic, added: "We will call you when it's time to eat. The boss arranges six meals a day for us." This guy is 21 years old and Bosnian. He is regarded as the next generation of Europe's midfield master. He has extremely high passing accuracy and learned free kicks from Juninho. He plays football very well, but likes to secretly follow the trend and discriminate against Asians on the Internet, even though he was teammates with Chinese players in the Metz youth training camp. The type of person who is timid in real life but strikes hard online. not far away. The 20-year-old Argentine star Lamela had a cold expression. If Pjanic was just secretly following the trend and discriminating on the Internet, then Lamela was directly discriminating with his actions, and he was not just discriminating against the yellow race. This guy is very proud at heart. He was already a famous super talent in South America during his childhood, and signed a contract with Nike and appeared on TV at the age of 12. In real life, he has a bad mouth and likes to put pressure on his teammates. In the recent brawl within the Roma team, the Argentine was the one who got beaten. Seeing Gao Qi's gaze moving over, Lamela quickly turned his head away. He had heard about the flying kick incident of the young Chinese player. The peaceful and monotonous days passed one by one. Gao Qi did not experience isolation or cold violence. Being in the club was like going to work, and he gradually became familiar with his teammates. It’s not the kind of familiarity of “making friends”, but the kind of familiarity of “passing and running”. At this time, Enrique was hailed as a big fake by the Serie A media. His tactical layout and on-the-spot adjustments were a piece of shit, but in terms of player training, he still had some level. He still didn't like using Gao Qi and insisted that the young Chinese player had no place in his tactical system. What's more, Gao Qi is a product of Real Madrid's youth training. Luis Enrique hates Real Madrid.

When he was young, he played for the White Army for five years and earned the nickname "King Kong Bullfighter". No one knows what happened inside that led him to defect from Barcelona. Many years have passed, and he still likes to criticize Real Madrid in the media for no reason. Even so, the Roma coach still asked Bald Ivan to privately instill the passing and control concepts to Gao Qi every day, and explain the passing of the mobile triangle through Roma's game videos. "Gao, be patient. There are many examples of late bloomers in the world of football. You are only 18 years old. Well, you are not young anymore. When I was about the same age, I was already a starter in Barcelona and won five championship trophies." Ivan wanted to comfort the young Chinese player, and as he spoke he began to "recall the past". Gao Qi carefully checked his notes on the tactical board. He had known Enrique's tactical system a long time ago, but not as detailed as Ivan's. Not in a hurry. If there is no chance to play, just wait quietly. Study hard, improve your understanding, familiarize yourself with the coaching staff's tactical framework, and improve your fit with the team. Through the training of the Roma first team, Gao Qi's attributes were increased by the "Tyrant" module to 77 points. The higher the value, the slower the improvement. "Go on with your lecture, Ivan." "I have patience." Patience is not waiting, it is a kind of power, a power that defeats anxiety in waiting. in a blink. The first Serie A match day after the winter break has arrived. Enrique was full of confidence and led his team to Sardinia in the southern Apennines. "CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!" "Long time no see, now we are broadcasting the first Serie A match after the European winter break!" "Cagliari vs Roma!" "You can see it! The Sant'Elia Stadium is filled with more than 30,000 spectators!" "Coach Zhang, what do you think?" "Enrique really needs this game to save himself. The starting formation is still 433 and he must attack the weak team Cagliari!" "The entire Cagliari team is worth less than Roma's Bojan." "." The commentator glanced at the list of substitutes and his tone was full of regret.

It has been many years since Chinese players appeared in the Serie A. The city of Rome. Gao Qi sat on the sofa in the dormitory and watched the game. He plans to learn through the team's actual games and simulate how he should run if he were standing on the front line. 90 minutes passed and I didn't learn anything. The TV screen showed a cruel score: Cagliari 4:2 Roma. Bah! On the street outside the dormitory window, the harsh sound of wine bottles breaking, accompanied by curses, could be heard. Followed by. Angry Roma fans rushed towards the Roma office building in groups. (End of this chapter)
