Football God.

After sending Benitez away, Heinrich did not continue to stay in the office.

The second round of the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League is coming soon. This game is very important for Leeds United. The one-goal lead before cannot ensure that they will advance from the knockout round. However, Heinrich still postponed his pre-match preparations. , called Bertram: "Follow me to the training ground."

Without any doubt, Bertram stood up and helped Heinrich get his coat, and both of them left the office.

On the training ground, the players are actively preparing for this knockout match.

Although some players in Leeds United are participating in the Champions League for the first time, no matter who they are, they know the significance of this game in their hearts.

Last season, Leeds United won several championships for the first time, including league and cup competitions.

Among them, the most important ones are the Premier League champions and the Europa League champions.

The Premier League championship marks Leeds United's official return to the Premier League battlefield. They are no longer a big team, but a Premier League powerhouse with a championship medal.

The champion of the Europa League, compared with the champion of the Champions League, has a much lower gold content.

But this also made many European teams know for the first time that there is such an outstanding club in the second largest city in England's economy.

After entering the Champions League, many players have realized that this season has a more onerous schedule than last season.

Their opponents are no longer the second-rate teams in other leagues, but the peak contest between the top teams.

Perhaps they don't know which one is more valuable, the Premier League champion or the Champions League champion.

But as a cup competition, the knockout system of the Champions League makes all players understand that it is best to play every game as a final.

Once you're out of the knockout rounds, it doesn't matter how brilliantly you've won the group stage.

After the first game against Inter Milan, Heinrich opened a meeting in the team, and all players were expected to attend.

In that conversation, Heinrich told everyone without any cover that their performance was not satisfactory.

When the score could be expanded, the team did not seize the opportunity.

When the defense was in place, the team missed the opponent's most difficult player, causing the two clubs to come close to returning to the same starting line.

After the blizzard, Leeds United was able to win an away game, and Heinrich was satisfied.

But he still reminded all players not to relax their vigilance, football is round and anything can happen.

This has allowed the players to frequently increase their training volume in the recent period, and under the supervision of the coach, it did not put much burden on the body.

But compared to the relaxed state of mind before, they are much more nervous now.

In this regard, Heinrich is happy to see it succeed.

All he can do is get all the assistant coaches and team doctors together to monitor the players and not hurt themselves.

And when Heinrich went to the training ground this time, what he saw was a scene of enthusiasm.

Schmeichel and Brook, each guarding the goal.

There are eight players divided into two groups, two forwards and two defenders, each on the left and right. The offensive and defensive transitions are extremely quick, and they are determined to break through the goals of the two goalkeepers.

The midfielders gathered together for physical exercise.

This is what Heinrich had agreed with them before. After the competition, whether it is yoga or muscle-building training, he will add it little by little.

This made Heinrich smile with relief on his face when he watched a group of big boys dragging their tires and sweating on the training ground.

Instead of rushing to find Parker, he found Makelele first: "How is the effect of their training?"

Makelele didn't speak yet, but turned to look at Nedved.

The Czech who was born as a midfielder played the role of head coach in this player training plan.

Hearing Heinrich's question and feeling Makelele's gaze, Nedved took a step forward with a faint smile on his handsome face: "They are doing pretty well, except for a few One person has a sidekick while doing yoga, and everyone else is fine with it."

Heinrich had a look of "Sure enough" on his face.

Football players practice yoga, which is not Heinrich's original training method.

In fact, using yoga to exercise players' physical functions and adjust their physical load is an attempt that many teams are making.

It's just that the effect of yoga is slow, the training cycle is long, and there are many big-name players in the club, it is difficult to calm down, and the club does not want to fight against the top players in the team because of such trivial matters, so most of them just pass by .

Leeds United is different. Heinrich is in complete control of the team, and the bosses in the team are surprisingly easy to talk to. Originally, it was only planned to let the midfielders have yoga training, but now it has been extended to the whole team.

Heinrich asked curiously, "Absent? Did they do anything?"

Nedved's smile remains the same: "It's still an old problem, playing with mobile phones, playing around, joking with each other."

When Heinrich heard the words, the expression on his face was a half-smile: "Why does it sound... the same as what Luka's kindergarten teacher said last time?"

Makelele coughed lightly: "Boss, you can just say that you are childish, it's okay."

Nedved's expression was calm, as if he had long been used to the childishness of his players.

Heinrich glanced at Nedved's expression: "Did you just let them go?" According to his understanding of the Czechs, it should not be so easy.

Sure enough, in the next second Heinrich saw Nedved smiling and said: "They can all be freelancers now, so I won't pursue those little fluffy problems before."

How long has it been since he was able to do such a difficult movement?

For a moment, Heinrich's heart was filled with sympathy.

Heinrich did not enter the training ground, but stood on the sidelines, let Bertram in, and called Parker out.

Parker was pulling tires with his teammates at the moment, knowing that Heinrich was going to call him, there was nothing unexpected on his face, but he smiled and said to his teammates, and trotted in front of Heinrich : "Boss, are you calling me?"

"There are some things I want to discuss with you." Heinrich didn't say anything dead, after all, he didn't know whether what Benitez said was true or not.

However, Parker seemed to have been prepared, took the towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and waited obediently for Heinrich to speak.

In fact, at this time, the blond coach already had guesses in his mind, but he still asked him softly with a gentle expression: "Mr. Benitez just looked for me, and I came here to ask you, did he look for him before?" ever talked to you?"

Parker answered very frankly: "Yes."

This caused a few assistant coaches on the side to have surprised expressions on their faces. Their eyes were all looking at Heinrich, for fear that their coach would be angry.

Surprisingly, Heinrich's expression was calm, and his voice was as gentle as ever: "I didn't believe everything he said, and there are some things I hope you will tell me." The voice paused slightly, "You want to leave on loan, What exactly is it for?"

"Boss, I like Leeds United. I've been at this club since I was seven years old." Parker was still holding a towel in his hand as he spoke, with Heinrich's familiar happy smile on his face, "Before I think that what is good for a club is to stay here for a long time and dedicate all my efforts to him. But after talking with Mr. Benitez, I knew that I need to increase my strength to truly Help the team."

The words were clear and direct, and Heinrich finally got Parker's mind.

Leeds United still has this excellent blond midfielder, he can be willing to work hard for Leeds United, but now Leeds United can't let him get playing time, so Parker has to go outside to find opportunities.

The reason why he chose to rent rather than transfer is because he still wants to come back here and compete for a position that belongs to him.

The last doubt in Heinrich's heart was also let go.

For him, Parker may not be the best midfielder, and even now he can't get a main position of his own in Leeds United.

But Heinrich still values ​​him and hopes he can stay in the team.

Because in many cases, good players are inexhaustible and inexhaustible, but a player who is really born in this club is indeed very rare.

Heinrich didn't know whether Parker's choice of Inter Milan would really help him, but Heinrich supported Parker to go out and make a breakthrough.

"Leeds United will help you pay the salary, and the benefits will not be less." Heinrich patted Parker's shoulder with a smile on his face.

Parker also knew that as a loaned player, Heinrich had already given himself the best treatment.

The next second, Heinrich said: "If we can win the championship at the end of this season, then, Parker, I hope you will not refuse my invitation and come back to participate in the championship celebration."

Parker laughed, but his eyes were wet, and his voice was bright: "I will, boss."

It's just that when this news was released, it shocked many people's attention.

Leeds United has become a representative of iron cocks in England.

Heinrich, in particular, is a typical example of only getting in and out.

There are many players he wants, but it is as difficult as heaven for anyone who wants to poach players from him.

Manchester United tried, but Leeds United threatened to poach Rooney.

Real Madrid Supermarket No, as a result, Leeds United became the center for the re-employment of Real Madrid players.

As for other teams, except for Arsenal, which can rely on the good relationship between Wenger and Heinrich, and can exchange players with each other, other clubs rarely get cheap from Leeds United.

Leeds United also has its own confidence.

The players didn't want to leave, the club didn't want to sell, which ensured that Leeds United retained their strength until now.

No one would have thought that Inter Milan, which is far away in Serie A, could dig a piece of meat from Leeds United!

Especially in this sensitive stage before the game, it is even more unbelievable.

In fact, Heinrich himself knew that Benitez was playing a word game with himself.

He dared to contact Parker in private because he was sure that he would look at Mendes and Parker's face and let the matter go.

It was also a helpless move for Heinrich to release Parker to Benitez in the end.

If Parker wants to level up, he can go to many places, such as Juventus, Arsenal, these clubs that have a good relationship with Leeds United, Parker can choose.

It's just that Benitez acted first, leaving Heinrich with no other way out.

On the surface, Heinrich would bless Parker, because this is the player's own wish, and Parker will return to Leeds United in half a year, Heinrich has no reason to refuse.

But Heinrich kept in mind Benitez and Jorge Mendes who advised him behind the scenes.

Mendes can take it easy, but the things that Benitez put together can be found immediately.

Half an hour later, before the press conference, both sides simultaneously revealed their starting lineups.

When Benitez got Leeds United's starter, there was a look of helplessness on his face.

The assistant coach on the side looked at him in surprise: "Sir, is there something wrong?"

Benitez handed the starting list to his assistant coach: "It seems that Heinrich is really angry."

The assistant coach glanced at the list with a strange expression on his face.

Leeds United, is this a five-back formation? ?
