Chapter 43: The first training session at the Gaya Training Center "Modric? Why would a winger use the template of a midfielder?"Alvarenga's eyes widened. Henry + Modric, why did Jiang Yuan have these two seemingly unrelated templates at the same time? "Losos, I can't describe the details. You'll know when you see him train!" Enrique kept it a secret. "Fine!" Alvarenga stopped the ongoing training and prepared for an intra-squad training match. Just then, Jiang Yuan and Felix ran out of the dormitory and greeted Alvarenga. "Mr. Losos, I'm done. How should I train next?" Alvarenga almost laughed out loud when he saw Jiang Yuan had put on his sneakers. "Kid, you should rest in the base for two days and take a look around. How can you start training on the first day of reporting?" "what?"
Jiang Yuan was a little surprised. The contract had been signed, so didn't he have to attend training today? Jiang Yuan shook his head. Perhaps this was the unique sense of relaxation that Europeans had. Alvarenga wanted Jiang Yuan to adjust to the time difference and get familiar with the environment of the training base. Although this was Alvarenga's care for Jiang Yuan, the newcomer, the problem was that if Jiang Yuan didn't play football, he would be punished by the system! So Jiang Yuan licked his lips and said again: "Mr. Losos, why don't you let me participate in the training first? I have a good rest and I want to play football now!" Alvarenga frowned and said, "You are such a strange boy. In this case, you should join our next team training!" As he spoke, the stadium staff brought Jiang Yuan his training suit. It was a white top and blue shorts with some dark blue stripes. This training suit could be said to be very Porto. Jiang Yuan didn't go to the toilet to change, but put on his training suit in front of everyone. He shook it a few times and had to say that this training suit fit him quite well. "Jiang, you're so thin, aren't you afraid of being knocked away?" Felix, who was standing by, saw Jiang Yuan's sunken belly and couldn't help but sigh, not noticing that his own figure was no different from Jiang Yuan's. Jiang Yuan curled his lips: "How dare you say that to me? Besides, if you run faster, others won't be able to touch you, right?" "Jiang, I like what you said!" Felix gave Jiang Yuan a thumbs up. Both of them were players who were good at speed and they quite agreed on this point. Alvarenga on the side interjected: "Actually, Jiang is not that thin. There is no need to rush to build muscle. Just lay a good foundation first." As the head coach of the youth team, Alvarenga has deep insights into the growth of young players. With the current level of training, it only takes three months at most to build up a muscular body, so many youth training teams of European clubs will appropriately reduce the courses of heavy weight training and focus on the feel of the ball which is more difficult to grasp. Jiang Yuan patted his thigh, jogged two steps on the spot, feeling the grass of the Gaya Training Center. At the same time, Alvarenga blew the whistle and called all the U17 players over. "Today we have a new player, Jiang Yuan, left winger" Alvarenga pushed Jiang Yuan in front of him, and Enrique next to him consciously stood aside. As the only Asian face in the entire training ground, the U17 players' eyes widened when they saw Jiang Yuan.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Yuan, from China" Jiang Yuan bowed slightly and greeted his new team members. "Qiang Yuan?" Goalkeeper Di Costa tried to read Jiang Yuan's name. "Diogo, this is Jiang, Jiang Yuan!" Felix corrected goalkeeper Costa's pronunciation. "Hahahaha!" The players immediately burst into laughter. The team had previously had a player from a non-Latin country, so everyone didn't know how to address him. Because this pronunciation is really difficult to pronounce correctly! "We're going to play an 11v11 match later. This is a good opportunity for you to get to know the new players." Alvarenga pulled out a notebook, wrote in pencil, and then read aloud. I don't know whether Alvarenga did it intentionally or unintentionally, but Jiang Yuan and Felix were separated in the grouping of this competition. What's more, the most outrageous thing is that Felix, who originally played on the left, was arranged to play as a right back. "Mr. Losos, can I play with Team Jiang? I can play on the right wing." Felix directly stated that he wanted to get along with his new roommate, but was decisively rejected by Alvarenga. "How about I give you the whistle and let you lead the team?" "Hahaha!" Felix scratched his short hair awkwardly. The advantage of short hair is that it will not get tangled no matter how much you scratch it. "It's fine" Jiang Yuan comforted Felix. "You better be careful, I will go up to guard you, I run very fast, it will be very difficult for you to pass me" Felix showed his shell-like teeth. His football skills were not the best in the team, but in terms of speed, he was definitely one of the best. A month ago, Felix and Andre, the two fastest players in the team, had a speed competition after a training session. The result was that Felix won with a 2-body advantage, which also earned him the title of Porto U17's fastest player. "That's fine, but I'll find a way to get past you!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile that he had a pretty good feeling about Felix. At least among the more than 20 players now, he only knew the full-back Felix and the goalkeeper Costa, so he had to talk to them. Felix is in Team A and Jiang Yuan is in Team B. The assistant coaches have developed tactics for the two teams respectively. Both teams use the most basic 433. Jiang Yuan's participation has brought some changes to today's training content. The coach's tactical arrangement was very clear, which was to test Jiang Yuan's various abilities. Jiang Yuan actually didn't care. Being able to adapt to changing circumstances has always been his strong point. "Alright, alright, get back to your positions. After the losing team finishes the game today, they will have to stay and run 10 kilometers as punishment!" Alvarenga shouted from the sidelines, and his meaning was clear: In today's competition, everyone must play with all their strength! "No, Mr. Losos, I don't think this is necessary!"
Tony complained, why should we go all out in the competition? "If I ask you one more question, you won't even have to go into the cafeteria today!" "Mr. Losos, I will do my best to defend this new guy!" …… (End of this chapter)
