Chapter 45 Newcomer, New Hope!
Chapter 45 Newcomer, new hope!
These are two Asian faces, Shaq even has a feeling that these two little guys... are Chinese!
But...when did Lamacia's youth training camp collect young Chinese players?
Besides, just as Chinese football is so bad that it is, can people still be sent to Lamacia youth training camp for training?
"Hi, Diego!"
Shaq greeted Diego Lugano, the youth training manager who led the team. This youth training manager is not much older than him. The Uruguayan central defender who once played for West Bromwich also had the opportunity to meet Shaq on the field. But he didn't expect that the veteran would become a coach after retirement and actually become the leader of Barcelona youth team.
"Shake!?"
When I saw Shaq, Diego Lugano was also stunned. Shouldn’t the players all be resting at this time?
"Shake, haven't you gone on vacation? Why did you come to the base?"
Shaq laughed: "I went to China with my family for a while. I didn't have any meaning and I came back to start training. It's such a thing as vacation... Well, after I retire, I have time to do it."
Well!
After listening to Shaq's answer, Diego Lugano was speechless. The person in front of him was already the king of football. He still worked so hard. He deserved this kid to succeed and reach the peak that his predecessors could not reach!
There is a voice now that many people think that Shaq has become the greatest player in football history, and his decisive role in the game is even far superior to that of Pele and Maradona. Those two were not as perverted as Shaq at their peak. They were always able to lead their teams to win championships every year, and they always won one player after another. Such a player... can no longer be described as a star or a king of football. He is completely the god on the green field. The saying "Those who win Shaq win the world" is really not in vain.
"Diego, are you here with these little guys?"
Diego Lugano laughed and said, "Isn't the first team on vacation? I'll take them to visit the base. This is also the plan that the club has always implemented. In order to cultivate players' loyalty!"
"By the way, Diego, those two little guys with black hair... are they Chinese?"
"Ah! I have forgotten that your wife is Chinese. You have just returned from China. They are Chinese, but they have been immigrating to Spain for several years. These two little guys have great potential. I think they will definitely be able to join the first team in the future."
"Oh? So strong?"
"certainly!"
Diego Lugano was a little proud, and then laughed and said, "Diego, for their sake and your wife are compatriots, please encourage them."
"No problem! Call them here! By the way, where are they playing?"
"The taller Du is 16 years old. He plays as a center back. The shorter one is Chen, 15 years old. He plays as a right back! Du, Chen, come on!"
When Diego Lugano waved to the person, Shaq couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Damn, what's going on? The little kid of 15, 16 is about to drive me up!?
The two Chinese young players who were called by Diego Lugano were all 1.8 meters tall, and Shaq himself was only 1.84 meters tall!
As early as Diego Lugano talked to Shaq, the young guys from the youth team were watching Shaq. Shaq was now a symbol of Barcelona. The young guys from the youth team all regarded him as their idol. The two Chinese boys who were named ran over immediately.
"coach!"
"coach!"
Seeing the two boys' expressions very serious, Shaq laughed before Diego Lugano spoke and said in skillful Chinese: "Hello, young men. My wife is a Chinese woman, do you all know? I feel very friendly when I see you!"
"Shake, you...hello!"
"Okay! Hello!"
"Hey, don't be nervous! We Chinese people pay the most attention to the relationship between fellow villagers and fellow villagers. You two can introduce yourself to me. I may have to train with your youth team in the next period of time. You two will have to take care of me at that time!"
"I...my name is Chen Jinlong! Shaq, are you really going to come to the youth team... to train with us?"
"I am Du Xiaoguang! Shaq, if you come to the youth team, can you practice with me?"
Shaq laughed: "Yes, didn't I come back early to find the coach to get the training plan? No other teammates are back either. I don't train with you little guys, do you still have to stay on the training ground by myself?"
"Shake, are you saying true?"
"Well, Diego, I do want to practice with the youth team for a while, so I'll ask you to take care of you in the next few days!"
Diego Lugano didn't expect this to be true. Naturally, he wouldn't understand. Shaq originally planned to train himself after taking the training plan, but when he saw Du Xiaoguang and Chen Jinlong, he changed his mind. He also had such expectations for Chinese football like many Chinese football fans. Chinese football has not improved much in recent years. After coming to this world, he thought that he and Chinese football would never be able to be with each other in this life. But when he saw two Chinese young men, he felt that he might be able to do something. A passion that had been silent in his heart for a long time suddenly burned.
I heard that Shaq was coming to Lamacia Youth Training Camp to train with him, and all these young people were excited. In the past, they could only watch Shaq play on TV, but now they can actually play football with their idols. This feeling... I feel so happy!
Diego Lugano and Shaq agreed to contact each other by phone. They had to go back after visiting the training base in Ganber Sports City. Then they would go there together, and then they would separate from Shaq with his team.
Shaq and McAndrew had already communicated on the phone, and also said that they had to focus on the exercises they wanted to practice. Their physical strength naturally had to be trained. His endurance, balance, flexibility, and explosive power had all dropped to 18. In addition, there were free kicks, dribbling and passing. As for steals, marking people, crossings, and penalty kicks that also fell to 18, Shaq didn't plan to practice anymore. Now he is a regular single-arrow center, and it's useless to practice those.
When they arrived at the coaching staff office, McAndrew had already been waiting for him with physical coach Magallo and technical coach Aimal. The three of them had formulated a training plan for Shake. Taking into account all the requirements made by Shake, they still need to explain in detail at this time, how many sets of each project, how long to practice, how long to practice, how to train, etc.
After hearing this for more than an hour, Shaq finally left with a training plan of up to thirty pages under the advice of the three coaches. This plan made Shaq's scalp numb in detail. For example, Aimal asked Shaq to use obstacles when training free kicks with high requirements, and physical coach Magallo even gave Shaq's nutritional meal menu.
But it’s no wonder. Anyone who knows that Shaq actually wants to continue training like this while on vacation will enthusiastically provide the maximum help. The training plan formulated for Shaq is definitely a combination of all the football wisdom of McAndrew, Magallo and Aimal!
After Shaq found Diego Lugano, he asked Du Xiaoguang and Chen Jinlong to take the car to lead the way. Diego Lugano took his team to a CV in front of him, and the two cars returned to Lamacia youth training camp together.
In the past, Shaq had never been to this training camp known as the cornerstone of Barcelona and known as the "West Point Military Academy" in the football world because of his prejudice against the "Godfather" Cruyff. After coming this time, he found that it was indeed unique.
The elegant environment and light atmosphere can allow young players to grow up quickly. In addition to this U19 youth team, there are two U16 teams below. Although there are only more than fifty players here, they have been selected from the football schools below. At most, only one-tenth of these more than fifty people can enter Barcelona B. The probability of Barcelona B entering Barcelona is even smaller. Therefore, when every Lamacia player appears at Camp Nou, it means that they have defeated thousands of competitors, which itself means... Excellence!
According to his nutritional meal recipe, Shaq ordered some things for lunch in the cafeteria of La Macia's youth training camp, and then started training with Diego Lugano and another Argentine youth training coach Rodrigue Parana.
Shaq has been training according to his training plan. After he finished the afternoon training plan, the little guys at U19 had already finished training and watched the side for a long time.
It's U19, but it's just about their football level. The oldest of these little guys is just a little guy from Switzerland, and the youngest is 15-year-old Chen Jinlong.
Seeing Shaq finishing training, Du Xiaoguang and Chen Jinlong threw it over to do confrontation training with him. Shaq was not vague. Anyway, they had already talked about this, but in this training... Shaq found that he really underestimated these two little guys!
Du Xiaoguang, who plays as a central defender, has a very solid skill. Although he is not very strong in heading, his awareness of defense is very good, and he can be considered strong and strong. He has a good grasp of physical balance. Shaq found that this little guy is really a good material for playing as a central defender.
After Diego Lugano inspires the little guys to come in a group to fight, Chen Jinlong's performance surprised Shaq even more. He saw a qualified right-back with a fast speed, strong explosive power, excellent team awareness and very well-positioned position. However, because of dribbling and crossing, the passing skills were a little worse, Chen Jinlong's assist threatened. However, Shaq believes that as he grows older, when Chen Jinlong makes up for technical shortcomings, this little guy will likely become a "Ben Parker" on the right.
In fact, there are still some young people with potential in U19, but those are not what Shaq pays attention to. He only pays attention to his two "compatriots". He learned about it on the way back to Lamacia's youth training camp. These two little guys have made up their minds to play for the Chinese team in the future, which also makes Shaq feel that he is really unlucky. If he falls into a Chinese player when he is "sentenced", he might have helped Chinese football achieve good results early in the morning!
