Chapter 18 Training Goals

During the afternoon nap, what surprised Cheng Hai and Fu Hangyi was that a person who claimed to be a sleep coach entered their dormitory and asked Cheng Hai if he needed help to try to fall asleep quickly.

Cheng Hai inquired with the help of Fu Hangyi's translation. It turned out that the job of the team's sleep coach is to help players fall asleep quickly and recover energy and physical fitness quickly through some scientific methods and hypnosis to improve their on-the-spot status.

For example, sometimes when you go to an away game, you will face problems such as poor weather, uncomfortable rooms and beds, and noise outside the window, which will cause players to be unable to fall asleep for a long time, and the next day will be listless when playing an away game.

At this time, the help of a sleep coach is needed. The job of this position is to let the players ignore external factors and enter a deep sleep quickly, in order to recover their physical fitness and energy as soon as possible.

Of course, the effect varies from person to person, and it also depends on the ability and level of the sleep coach. Some players can successfully fall asleep quickly with the help of a sleep coach, but there are also a small number of players who are useless no matter how much they help.

This time, the other party was afraid that Cheng Hai had just arrived and would not be able to sleep, which would affect the training in the afternoon. At the same time, he probably wanted to show off his professionalism and advancement in this position in front of the two Chinese people, so he took the initiative to ask Cheng Hai if he needed help.

Of course Cheng Hai didn't need it, and declined the sleep coach's help.

His dream training every night allowed him to quickly enter deep sleep with the help of the system and take a full rest. Even if he didn't take a nap at noon during the day, it would have no effect on him.

But from the setting of this coaching position, we can see how advanced Dortmund is in all aspects of the Bundesliga giants!

In China, Cheng Hai has never even heard of the term sleep coach.

I didn't expect there to be such a position in the European club. It is indeed too professional, and I have to admire it.

No wonder the five major leagues are so developed, and their success is justified.

After the lunch break, the afternoon training continued.

Originally, Klopp and the team's players thought that Cheng Hai, a newcomer from China, might not be able to hold on in the afternoon after intensive training in the morning.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Hai followed the team members through all the training in the afternoon.

Although some technical training performances were very amateurish, which made everyone feel ridiculous.

But in terms of physical fitness, Cheng Hai persisted until the end and never fell behind, unlike his poor performance in the morning.

This surprised Klopp, the coaching staff, and all the players.

However, that's all there is to it.

This kind of physical fitness can barely keep up with the intensity of training.If it is a high-intensity official Bundesliga professional game, Cheng Hai's performance may not even be able to last half a court.

Still no one is optimistic about the results of Cheng Hai's trial training.

Fortunately, Cheng Hai couldn't understand what they were talking about, he just trained with everyone according to the coach's arrangement.

Soon, when the assistant teacher announced that the afternoon training was over, Cheng Hai heard the electronic sound of the system distributing experience in his mind.

Now Cheng Hai trains with Dortmund's first team, which is naturally different from training with the school team when he was in school.

After Dortmund's one-day training class, the experience has reached 1000 points, which is 20 times that of training with the school team, which can be called a leapfrog improvement.

If this continues, as long as he continues to train for a few more days, he will be able to level up and gain new abilities and skill points.

Cheng Hai expressed his satisfaction with the training experience of Dortmund's first team.

However, just as Cheng Hai was about to follow his teammates back to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes, and return to the dormitory, an Asian player with the same black hair and yellow skin found Cheng Hai.

Cheng Hai finally realized after some chicken-and-duck conversations and the three of them were not very proficient in English. It turned out that this was Shinji Kagawa, a 21-year-old player from Japan, who had just transferred to Dortmund on July 7.

For Shinji Kagawa, who is also young, he is also a new player of the team, and he also bears the discrimination and criticism of the old players of the team.

Therefore, he invited Cheng Hai to stay and practice together, and the two of them could practice passing, catching and shooting together.

Thinking that if he could improve the initial attributes of some skills through training, he might be able to save some skill points in the future, Cheng Hai agreed.

Neither of them raised the issue of historical grievances between the two countries. They avoided such sensitive topics and simply used football as a link to communicate.

Then, the two practiced for an extra hour on the training ground.

But the effect of training is almost equal to zero.

Because Cheng Hai's passing skills are so poor, he often passes the ball crookedly, causing Shinji Kagawa to chase the ball or having to stop and turn around to get the ball.

If it is on the field, such a pass is obviously giving the ball to the opponent and wasting offensive opportunities.

This made Shinji Kagawa feel helpless.

However, when practicing shooting, Cheng Hai's shooting skills surprised Shinji Kagawa.

During Fu Hangyi's shooting training as a guest goalkeeper, Cheng Hai shot every shot near the penalty area line, and all of his more than a dozen shots went into the goal. None of the shots went wide of the goal, and none of the shots were too square to be confiscated by Fu Hangyi.

As for Shinji Kagawa, even though he was facing Fu Hangyi, an amateur goalkeeper who couldn't even save the ball, he still only scored less than half of the goal with more than ten shots.

A small part of them missed the range of the goal frame, and a small part was too straight, which was easily blocked by Fu Hangyi standing in the center of the goal.

Shinji Kagawa finally understood why Cheng Hai's height, weight, physical fitness, and technical level were favored by Dortmund's scouts and recommended to Klopp for trial training.

With this superb shooting skill, Shinji Kagawa felt that Cheng Hai must have a place in the professional football league.Even if you can't play the Bundesliga, the Bundesliga should be fine.

Originally, Cheng Hai agreed to practice with Shinji Kagawa, but it was really just for additional practice.

Unexpectedly, after the extra training, the voice of gaining experience came from Cheng Hai's mind.

It turns out that in addition to the team's daily training, the system will give 1/1 of the experience for an additional training of more than 10 hour, that is, 100 experience points.

This is really a surprise.

It seems that in the future, we should practice more every day.Not only can you practice skills, but you can also gain the experience needed to upgrade, killing two birds with one stone.

The next morning, training continued as usual.

However, after the lunch break, in the afternoon, Klopp had a different training from the previous day: tactical training.

More than 20 players were divided into two groups and had an intra-team training match for 45 minutes.

Although divided into two groups for the training match, Cheng Hai did not get the chance to play, but warmed up and waited off the court as a substitute.

Kagawa Shinji got the chance to play, but he didn't make much.

In the 30th minute, the yellow team and the blue team scored 2-1. The No. 177 shadow forward Qi Dan of the yellow team, who was only 10cm tall, scored twice, which made Cheng Hai feel very excited.

At this time, Klopp talked to the assistant coach beside him, and then assistant coach Blackmer waved to Cheng Hai who was warming up on the sidelines, and said, "Cheng Hai, get ready to play."

There was no need for Fu Hangyi to translate this time, and Cheng Hai also heard what the teaching assistant shouted, and his brows were filled with joy, and he hurried to Blackmer's side, waiting to play.

Except for Kagawa Shinji, no one else has seen his shooting skills.He wants to use the opportunity of this team training game to show his shooting skills to everyone, especially Klopp.

Then, waiting for a dead ball opportunity when the ball went out of bounds, Blackmer called down Zi Dan, who scored twice, and replaced Cheng Hai.

The Egyptian Zi Dan, who scored twice, was in a good mood, and even walked over to hug Cheng Hai, a trial player who was not even a teammate, and said, "Come on!"

Cheng Hai understood the word, thanked him, and then set foot on the field of the team's competition.

Klopp's main formation is generally 4231 or 442 midfield diamond positions, and the yellow team plays 442, with a center forward and a shadow forward.

After Cheng Hai played, his partner was center Lewandowski, a big man with a height of 184.

One of Zidan's goals before was scored by Lewandowski's header and ferry assist.

Therefore, Lewandowski's tactical role is great. He can attract enough defensive attention from the opponent in the penalty area, allowing the shadow forward to gain more running space.

Of course, if the shot chance is good, Lewandowski himself can score.

Therefore, when Cheng Hai came on the court, he found that neither other teammates nor Lewandowski seldom passed the ball to him.

Because everyone is not familiar with him, and his skills in training are too horrible, the players are afraid that the ball will be lost if passed to him.

What's more, he is just a trial player. It seems that Cheng Hai has little chance of passing the trial training. It is useless for everyone to cooperate with him in the training team. He may leave in a few days.

Therefore, other players are more likely to cooperate with the team's own players such as Lewandowski and others.

Even Cheng Hai's striker partner Lewandowski is the same. Even if the opportunity is not good, he will choose to hit the goal forcibly when he gets the ball. Even if the ball is sent flying, he will not pass it to Cheng Hai.

After 5 minutes on the field, Cheng Hai has yet to get a chance to shoot.

Even the chance to touch the ball was only once, and that was a mistake caused by the two sides grabbing the ball outside the penalty area and stabbing the ball near him.

But at that time, he was also fighting for the ball with his back to the goal, had no chance to shoot at all, and was facing the pressure of the blue team players, so he could only pass the ball with one kick.

It was his only touch of the ball in five minutes.

Like an invisible man.

The yellow team is equivalent to fighting with one less person.

As a result, in the 41st minute, the blue team scored an equalizer goal from the midfielder Gotze, and the score between the two sides became a 2-2 tie.

As time passed, Cheng Hai became anxious.

If the game ends with such a performance, I am afraid it will be really difficult to impress Klopp, and it will even make Klopp's impression of him worse.

Therefore, Cheng Hai had to save himself and had to get a chance to shoot.

Originally, the restricted area was Lewandowski's territory, and Cheng Hai spent more time in the gaps inside and outside the restricted area.

But now there is no way, the teammates don't pass the ball to him.Especially Lewandowski, as a tactical center, did not pass the ball to him even if the opportunity was not good, but chose to hit the goal himself.

Cheng Hai could only enter the penalty area and pursue a supplementary shot.

Because Lewandowski or other teammates often force a shot to hit the goal frame, be ejected by the goalpost, or be saved by the goalkeeper, which may form a second chance for a follow-up shot.

Cheng Hai aimed at such an opportunity.

And the chances are not small.

Because the players of the yellow team didn't pass the ball to Cheng Hai, the blue team felt that he was not a threat, so they didn't mark him much, allowing Cheng Hai to have a relatively loose running space.

Coupled with a physique that has been added to 19 points, even if he faces a defender whose height is generally above 180cm in the penalty area, he will not be at a disadvantage, and even has a slight advantage.

However, sometimes the game is all about luck.

There is not much time left, and the teammates have not got any shooting opportunities for a long time. In the 43rd minute, the striker Gross Kreutz cut in and shot. As a result, it flew high over the crossbar and did not give Cheng Hai, who rushed into the small penalty area, a chance to make up the shot.

The game continues.

Although he knew that time was running out and the chances were getting slimmer, Cheng Hai still didn't give up.

With his shooting skills, as long as he gets a chance to shoot, the probability of scoring in the penalty area is quite high.

Therefore, he can't give up, he is still running.

Fu Hangyi, who was on the sidelines watching the empty run that couldn't get the ball, was very anxious.

For Cheng Hai's trip to Germany, Fu Hangyi, the leaders and students of Yuzhou University actually had great expectations.

Everyone really wants their school to produce a star who can gain a foothold in the five major leagues and increase the school's popularity.

But now it seems that Cheng Hai's training performance is very poor, and his performance in the team's game is not good.

However, just when the fitness coach who was acting as a referee raised his hand and looked at his watch, probably wanting to end the game, Sebastian Kell, the midfielder of the yellow team and captain of Dortmund, did not slowly organize the attack after getting the ball from the side of the midfield.

Because, as a center, Lewandowski has rushed to the blue team's penalty area, and there is only one central defender Subotic beside him.

Kyle saw his chance, so a long diagonal pass sent the ball straight into the penalty area.

Seeing this scene, the fitness coach who played the guest referee did not blow his whistle, but ran towards the blue team's penalty area.

Anyway, we have to wait for the yellow team to finish this attack.

And it was the offense launched by captain Kyle this time that really allowed Lewandowski to grab the first point.

Kyle's pass is a bit big, and it lands between the penalty spot in the penalty area and the corner of the small penalty area on the left.

Although Subotic pushed desperately, he let Lewandowski complete the anti-offside, snatched a dive ahead of him, successfully grabbed the landing point, and reversed the ball to the right of the blue team's gate.

It's a pity that he didn't have a good angle for diving to the top this time under the interference of Subotic.

The goalkeeper of the blue team, Weidenfeller, is also Dortmund's main goalkeeper. He reacted very quickly, and with an agile side attack, Lewandowski will save the ball to the right.

However, Lewandowski's reverse header this time also caught Weidenfeller a little off guard. He started a bit slowly and failed to completely control the ball. He could only throw the ball out and roll to the right corner of the small penalty area.

Lewandowski, who fell from the sky, was immediately discouraged and disappointed.

Originally, he thought that the ball would definitely go in, but he didn't expect to fail in the end, and was saved by Weidenfeller.

However, just as he was thinking this and fell to the ground at the same time, he saw a player in a yellow vest rushing towards the rolling direction of the ball, followed by a player in a blue team.

The player wearing a yellow vest and rushing towards the ball's landing point is naturally Cheng Hai, who has been looking for opportunities to make up shots.

After playing for 15 minutes, he finally saw a chance to shoot in this attack, and naturally he was not allowed to let it go.

Relying on his good off-the-ball running position and the opponent's neglect of him, Cheng Hai was very lucky to stand at the closest position to the landing point this time.

The moment he saw Lewandowski's header was saved by the goalkeeper, Cheng Hai immediately started to rush towards the direction of the ball rolling in the corner of the small penalty area on the right.

The blue team defender Owomoyela on the side didn't despise Cheng Hai and didn't concentrate on marking him. As a result, he fell one step behind and failed to stop Cheng Hai at the first time, allowing Cheng Hai to seize this opportunity.

When Cheng Hai rushed to the spot where the ball landed and left defender Owomoyela behind, Fu Hangyi, who was standing on the sidelines and was a little disappointed, suddenly became excited, opened his eyes wide, clenched his fists and shouted in his heart: "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!"

As if hearing Fu Hangyi's shout, the one who rushed to the ball's rolling route before Owomoyela didn't stop the ball at all, and volleyed directly with his dominant right foot, and the ball flew up and flew towards the top of the goal.

Why did Cheng Hai pump the ball upwards?

Because when Cheng Hai was about to shoot, goalkeeper Weidenfeller was still on the ground near the goal!
In order to avoid the low ball being blocked by Weidenfeller on the ground, Cheng Hai chose to volley towards the top of the goal.

After shooting the ball, Cheng Hai lost his center of gravity.Coupled with a slight push from Owomoyela who followed closely behind him, Cheng Hai fell to the ground and slipped out of the bottom line.

However, Cheng Hai, who fell to the ground, did not take his eyes off the ball he kicked.

His shooting skills under the 20 full value state did not disappoint him, so that he did not make mistakes even in the non-stop volleying during high-speed sprints. The ball neither missed the post nor exceeded the crossbar.

"Strike!" Fu Hangyi shouted excitedly from the sidelines.

Cheng Hai on the ground also got up in an instant, roared excitedly, and vented the excitement in his heart.

Although this was only a team training match, it was also his first goal in Dortmund.

Moreover, because the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game after he scored, his goal was still the team's last-second lore, helping the yellow team beat the blue team 3-2.

Therefore, when the game was over, although no one else came up to celebrate with him, Sebastian Kyle still showed the demeanor of a captain, walked up to Cheng Hai and patted him on the shoulder: "This goal is not bad!"
