Eight Hundred and Ninety-Two Men Who Dare to Reject the White House

On the opening day of Manchester City's summer training camp, Su Dong came to Carrington very early.

Construction has begun on a new training base in Manchester city centre, but it is far from being settled.

As the captain of the team, there is a lot to deal with, including helping new players integrate into the team.

At yesterday's party, Su Dong has introduced new players to the old players, but this is just the beginning. There is still a lot of work to be done, especially the management of the locker room.

Another very important thing on the first day of the training camp is the physical examination.

This is actually the most troublesome thing for all teams and all coaches.

After a season, players need time to relax, which is understandable, but if you relax too much, it is quite troublesome, especially some players are not self-disciplined, and their weight immediately soars, which can seriously affect the game and the game. state.

Therefore, the physical examination on each opening day is particularly important.

Su Dong didn't need to worry the least, because even during the holiday, he would continue to train every day.

Although he has been traveling around the country during this time, sometimes even living in a remote homestay, this does not prevent him from persevering in training, such as running on mountain roads for a period of time.

After persevering for a long time, his physical condition has remained pretty good.

But the next summer training camp is the real trouble.

"There was a period of time last season when his state declined significantly. After research and discussion, we decided to adjust the training program and plan, especially during the summer training period, which is particularly important."

Nuno Cruz is the head of Su Dong's personal trainer team and a colleague of Su Dong's partner for many years. He has monitored Su Dong's body, state and court performance for a long time, and has gathered a complete set of data, and he has a good understanding of these data. research.

He has always believed that through these data, it is possible to understand the athletic performance of the players.

Facts have also proved that in European football, more and more teams have begun to pay attention to this aspect, and many universities are also investing in research and teaching. For example, Loughborough University has opened up a specialization in sports analysis.

Guardiola's team, including Torrent, respected Nuno Cruz's professionalism.

After all, Su Dong's performance over the years has been obvious to all. Nuno Cruz can almost be said to have driven the rise of a sports science field by himself, which has also made him highly respected by the professional circle.

When Nuno Cruz, Vito Scala and others communicated with Manchester City's coaching staff and studied the summer training plan, Su Dong had completed the coaching staff's physical examination process, and when they came to the conclusion, they were very healthy.

All indicators are excellent and very satisfactory.

"Needless to say, I guess you haven't really relaxed this summer." Nuno Cruz felt helpless when he got the report.

He didn't know if he was lucky or unfortunate when he met a boss like Su Dong.

Fortunately, Su Dong was always able to execute his plans perfectly, and unfortunately, with such a player, it was difficult for him not to work hard.

It's not the feeling of Nuno Cruz alone, it's the feeling of the personal coaching staff, and even many players in the Manchester City squad.

He is like a whip, constantly whipping everyone around him, so that everyone can follow him, try to move forward and dare not slack off. This is also the performance of many players when they play next to Su Dong. One of the reasons why it's even better.

"I will be 27 years old soon. I think we still need to properly control our weight and adjust the way we play football." Nuno Cruz advised.

"During the rest period, I took the time to go to Milan, visited a lot of bigwigs in the Milan laboratory, and learned a lot of their research results, including some of the situations of Shevchenko and Kaka during their stay in Milan. It deserves our vigilance.”

Shevchenko and Kaka are both at a sensitive age, because of injuries,

Coupled with the transfer, the career plummeted, which is actually worth studying and Su Dong's vigilance, because this is not an exception.

Studies have shown that after the age of 26, players' bodies begin to decline.

That is to say, a player's body reaches its peak at the age of 26, and it is difficult to maintain this peak after that. The only difference is the speed of the decline.

So during this period, players must also adjust their playing style according to their physical conditions.

Manchester City built the team with Su Dong as the core, and this summer's signings highlighted this.

The arrival of Aguero is to relieve Su Dong's competition pressure and let him stop in some unnecessary games.

Hazard and Douglas Costa are here to improve the wing and also to relieve the pressure on Sudong.

The head coach Guardiola is actively adjusting his tactics and wants to adopt a three-four-three tactic. The purpose is also to reduce the pressure of the center's game and allow the winger and midfielder to take on more tasks.

And Su Dong's task is to maintain good health, complete the transition smoothly, and prolong his career.

In Begiristan's words, Manchester City signed Su Dong at a sky-high price, not just for two or three years, but hoping that Su Dong can play in Manchester City until he is 35 years old, or even directly to retire.

One of the advantages of Su Dong is that he respects professionals.

He believed in Nuno Cruz's professionalism.

...

Other players also came to Carrington one after another.

As the captain, Su Dong, together with the coaching staff, arranged for the players to go to the medical room for medical examinations one after another.

This is actually a relatively simple test. If a player is found to have any injury or other problems, he will conduct a further detailed inspection, or go directly to the hospital for a more in-depth test.

Through the medical examination of the team doctor, the physical condition of all players is basically clear at a glance.

Like Marcelo, who clearly indulges during this time, and is a bit overweight.

What's even more funny is that this guy and David Luiz are so good, they even made an appointment to get their hair done together during the America's Cup, and they all turned into bangs.

Now there is joy.

Nima, seeing these two big explosions, Manchester City is almost crazy happy, okay?

But these two cute people are still enjoying it, and they seem to be very proud of their explosive heads.

Su Dong can only say: "I respect your unique personalities!"

The coaching staff paid special attention to the physical condition of several new recruits.

Although they had a detailed medical examination when they signed the contract before, but now they join the team for training, they must also master some of their physical conditions, whether it is Aguero, Hazard, Douglas Costa, or Harvey Martine Well, he's in good physical condition.

Among them, Douglas Costa's body is really thin, which may affect his performance in the new season, so the coaching staff is also quite worried about this, hoping that he can strengthen his physical training.

As for Aguero, even though he is not tall, his physical fitness is quite good.

...

On the first day of the training camp, adjustment and restorative training are basically the main tasks.

In the afternoon, Su Dong took leave with the team, sent his fiancee to Oxford in person, and then flew back by himself.

That night, together with everyone, he took a special plane from Manchester Airport to Los Angeles, USA.

Manchester City's summer training camp was arranged in Los Angeles.

The reason for the arrangement in the United States is mainly because Manchester City was invited to participate in a warm-up match called the World Football Challenge.

This event was organized by a company called RS in the United States. The first session was held in 2009. At that time, AC Milan, Chelsea and Inter Milan, as well as the Mexican American team were invited. Four teams participated and played a round-robin match, which was a great success. .

The success of 2009 made everyone see the potential of the North American football market. In addition, over the years, major European giants have successively traveled to North America to tap the North American market, making the major sponsors are also very optimistic about this event.

Therefore, after the suspension of the World Cup in 2010, the second World Football Challenge was held this year.

The difference from the first edition is that this year's challenge has been fully upgraded, and the participating teams have been upgraded from the original four to thirteen, including Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester City, Juventus and other European giants and strong teams. There are also teams from the United States, as well as teams from Mexico.

The game is played in the form of a European against a North American team. Except for Sporting Lisbon, which participates in an exhibition match, the other 12 teams compete against each other. Each team plays three games. The final ranking is based on points. to judge the ranking.

The reason why European teams are willing to participate in this event is actually very simple, that is, the rich prize money and the importance of North America, everyone wants a share of the North American market.

Manchester City's North American training has attracted the attention of the American media, especially Su Dong, which has aroused the pursuit of the American media.

It is not uncommon for the American media to praise Su Dong, because Su Dong has always been one of the most well-known sports stars in the United States, especially after signing an American sports brand, his popularity has risen.

In 2009, when the President of the United States visited Su Dong's motherland, he mentioned that his daughter liked Su Dong very much, but he could not arrange for them to meet Su Dong.

And this year, the US President received a No. 9 jersey when he received the Major League Championship team. Some media broke the news that this was specially requested by the US President because it was Su Dong's jersey number.

"Getting this jersey means that I am at the same level as Su Dong."

Just a few days ago, during the warm-up of the World Football Challenge, a White House spokesman revealed in an interview with the media that the President's family very much welcomes outstanding football players like Su Dong to visit the White House.

This undoubtedly aroused strong media attention.

When Manchester City arrived in Los Angeles, many media were also asking Su Dong about this matter, asking him if he would find time to go to the White House, but Su Dong said he was very sorry because his schedule in the United States was already full.

The team will train in the United States for a few days, and after three warm-up games, they will set off and return to Europe, which can be said to be non-stop.

This quickly made Su Dong a figure in the American media.

The New York Times called him: the man who dared to reject the White House!

Not only did this not damage Su Dong's image, but it made his status in the hearts of the American public even higher.
