Football: A late bloomer, starting with Leicester City

Chapter 401 Pre-season training officially begins! Another max-level attribute! (Ask for monthly ticket)

The next day, Chen Yufeng woke up from his bed in a daze, looked at the empty space around him, and began to search his brain for memories from last night.

When did the person leave and how did he fall asleep?
He forgot all this and only remembered that everyone had a very happy day.

"Huh..." He took a few deep breaths to exhale the turbid smell of alcohol in his body, and woke up to wash up, feeling a little sad.

Feeling that he was suddenly left alone in the originally bustling home, a feeling of loneliness arose in his heart.

"It doesn't matter, just calm down and prepare for a new start. After one season, I can have everything in Madrid." Chen Yufeng comforted himself.

It's really time for him to calm down and prepare for the new season and start a new journey!
Just like what he said to comfort himself, he will fight for a new world in Madrid.

"Ma Dongmei, I wish you get everything you want in Manchester City as soon as possible." He sent his blessing to his good friend.

Mahrez's nickname comes from one of his memes. Mahrez always wears gloves in winter, which gives people a very strange feeling. Everyone who has watched his game is deeply impressed by this.

Mahrez in winter, wearing gloves, can often perform better than in summer.

After driving to Atletico Madrid's training base, Chen Yufeng burst out laughing when he found that he was the first one to arrive.

No matter whether you are doing such high-intensity training or training, if someone is pushing you behind you, you will definitely run faster.

Chen Yufeng stopped talking.

"This is the team's schedule for this season. The basic schedule is as follows. There may be slight changes when it is implemented." Yucasta handed the list to Chen Yufeng.

This is a sponsor-style cup competition, held approximately every two years, mostly at Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena.

That game will start on August 8, which also means that there is still more than a month before the new season officially starts.

"Is the pre-season training intense?" Chen Yufeng turned to look at Jucasta. She wore the pink formal suit of the team doctor today and looked capable and energetic.

The Audi Cup will definitely be a pre-season cup that will be written into the history of the club and the history of the players' careers.

"The first game against Naples is on August 8st, and the final is on August 1rd. Time is tight, but it doesn't matter." Chen Yufeng looked at the time.

The team has arranged many warm-up matches this season, with the first one on July 7 and the rest in August.

"Please don't run away from that." Yucasta said seriously: "Don't worry, you are definitely training with the group of players who are overweight."

"I said why is there no one?" Ignoring Yucasta's last sentence, Chen Yufeng only answered the first half of her sentence.

Philip met a young British woman who was single with a baby in a bar in Leicester last year. The two fell in love at first sight and heard that a wedding had been held some time ago.

Chen Yufeng nodded and took it, looking upward.

When fighting on multiple fronts, he always needs something like a table to plan his time.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Chen Yufeng began to re-plan his exercise.

"If we win this championship, it will be a good opening performance for Atletico Madrid fans." Chen Yufeng sighed in his heart and had some ideas.

"Another reason is that your physical condition is really not good, and it has nothing to do with your weight."

"They are weighing you right now. Your weight was weighed not long ago, so they didn't ask you to come over."

After the birthday night, the two of them contacted each other much more frequently and became much closer.

Chen Yufeng put this list in his backpack and planned to post it on the wall after returning home and look at it from time to time.

The days passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, July 7th was approaching, the day to close the team.

Since the Audi Cup has a luxurious lineup every year and the competition is extremely exciting, all the major clubs are going all out.

"Forget it, let's go out and kick some balls in the training ground first and get a feel for it." Chen Yufeng said, changing clothes and shoes.

This time, four teams were invited, Bayern Munich, Napoli, Liverpool, and Atletico Madrid.

"I wonder how Phillip is doing now..." He thought of his old friend.

There are a total of three championships that Atletico Madrid can strive for this season, La Liga, Copa del Rey, and UEFA Champions League. If the Audi Cup is also counted, that is four.

Yucasta came in from outside at this time, holding a list in her hand.

Jucasta answered: "But Mr. Simeone will never be lenient to players who are overweight after returning from vacation. Their training intensity will be higher."

But he didn't have any objection.

He then looked down. In the first round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid's opponent was Girona, a weak team ranked at the bottom.

What's the matter? Is Atletico the same unit where Mr. Yu Hua works? Are they all so Buddhist?
I glanced at the time and found that there were still more than twenty minutes left.

In other words, only one semi-final and one final can be held to determine the champion.

"It doesn't matter, there are still competitions such as the Audi Cup anyway, so there is always something to achieve."

"It's gradual, it won't be too big in the first few days."

It is worth mentioning that Atletico Madrid participated in this season's Audi Cup Invitational.

Over time, this event has gained a good reputation and has become the most valuable event in the pre-season warm-up tournament.

Therefore, fans jokingly said that Mahrez in winter is as strong as Messi, or Ma Dongmei for short.

Chen Yufeng has not added any points for the time being. In the first two days of training, he planned to save some physical fitness to give his teammates a good impression.

If you play hard, you're right, and it can be considered a run-in for the lineup.

At that time, wealthy teams from all over the world will be invited to compete in a single-elimination tournament format.

After getting married, Philip rarely supervised Chen Yufeng's training. He heard that his wife was pregnant and he wanted to stay at home to take care of her more.

It is normal for people like him who marry late to become very cherished after meeting love and become desperate after having children.

There were many such examples around Chen Yufeng in his previous life.

Without giving it another thought, Chen Yufeng stepped onto the training ground after changing his clothes. Yucasta followed behind, fearing that he had made the wrong move.

After coming to the court to warm up for a while, Chen Yufeng turned to look at Yucasta with a slight embarrassment, "Where's the ball? I'll kick it twice first."

"Oh, I'll get it later." Yucasta turned and left. When she came back, she was carrying two large bags of footballs in her hands. The two large bags were in sharp contrast to her thin body.

"What do you want to practice? Do you need me to pick up the ball for you? I haven't seen you play football up close, so I want to see it." Yucasta asked curiously as she took out the ball.

"No, there are so many balls, we won't be able to finish them all in a while." Chen Yufeng replied.

After getting the football, he started to warm up by throwing the ball and basic dribbling. After playing for a while, he felt that it was not enough, so he took a few shots to find the feel of his feet.

Fortunately, he did not embarrass himself in front of the beautiful woman, and these shots hit the blind spot accurately.

I don’t know when it started, but there were more and more people around the training ground.

They were all wearing Atletico Madrid training uniforms, standing together in small groups, sometimes turning their heads to look at Chen Yufeng curiously.

Atletico Madrid players have arrived.

Chen Yufeng quickly discovered this and fired more than a dozen inward shots as if to show off his muscles, giving these people a very powerful shock. But when Simeone came on the scene, everything changed.

"Let us welcome the new player Chen Yufeng to join the team. I have spent a lot of effort for him. I hope we can have a perfect season together." Simeone led everyone to applaud.

Atletico Madrid players applauded and looked Chen Yufeng up and down.

Most people are still smiling and curious. The title of the four-time champion is too big, and coupled with the title of the team's historical champion, Chen Yufeng's reputation has always been at its peak.

"However, I discovered before that there seemed to be something wrong with Chen Yufeng's body. It was as if he had been eating, drinking and having fun throughout the offseason, and everything had deteriorated greatly."

"Although you are not overweight, I must say that you have to train with those who are overweight." Simeone showed a regretful expression.

"No problem..." Chen Yufeng nodded.

Two minutes later, he looked around and found that many people had come next to him.

Saul, Torres, Jimenez and Carrasco all came over.

These people have gained a lot of weight visibly to the naked eye...

This is what happens in the offseason. A body that has been trained for a long time with high intensity cannot withstand a period of rest and overeating.

There are many examples of people who gain twenty pounds in forty days, but they don’t know whether the food they eat, the drinks and wine they drink are directly converted into meat according to some magical ratio.

"Are you used to staying?" Torres, who had met once before, stood next to Chen Yufeng.

"It's okay." Chen Yufeng replied.

Other team members also joined the chat at this time, and Chen Yufeng officially broke the ice with some Atletico Madrid players.

"We can go see an opera performance together when we have time." Saul sent a sincere invitation to Chen Yufeng.

I just don’t know if it’s a serious opera or something like listening to music on a hook.

Not long after, a physical trainer came over and led everyone to start fat loss training.

Chen Yufeng doesn’t need to lose fat, but he needs to improve.

The first training day passed like this, and Chen Yufeng got acquainted with everyone.

Chen Yufeng basically spent the next week in this environment.

His physical fitness also soared rapidly, gradually reaching 50 points.

At noon on July 7, knowing that the interest would be settled on the Devil's Contract in the afternoon, Chen Yufeng quickly added two extra points.

[Physical fitness -6! Physical fitness -6! 】

[The number of points in the devil's contract is now: 112! 】

His physical fitness dropped to 38 points again, and his hard work for a period of time was in vain. Atletico Madrid's physical fitness coach will see the clues the next day.

Of course Chen Yufeng had thought about this problem. He knew that this would cause a lot of trouble.

But in the end, the result he got was: "Let's add more. You have to know sooner or later anyway. If you worry about this and that, there will be too little improvement this season and you won't be able to make any savings."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the voice in my head sounded.

【The two-month period has arrived! The host's current physical energy points are 112 points, and 110 points are included in the interest calculation! Congratulations to the host for getting 11 interest points! 】

[The current host has physical strength: 123! 】

Chen Yufeng suddenly felt comfortable. He opened his panel, took a look at the shot, and ordered: "Top up the shot!"

[Shoot +2! Shot +2! Shot...shot +2! ! 】

[Physical fitness -6! Physical fitness -6! Physical fitness...Physical fitness -6! 】

Finally, after 13 extra points, Chen Yufeng's shooting officially reached the full level!

100 points!
The fourth full-level skill!
A special feeling began to come from around his feet, and some new muscle memories began to be received in his brain. Chen Yufeng quickly closed his eyes to accept the information.

After opening his eyes again, he clearly felt the throbbing in his feet.

He really wanted to find a ball and kick it a few times to practice his feet.

"Look at the panel." Chen Yufeng said to himself.

[Host’s current ability panel:
Name: Chen Yufeng
Height: 183
Age: 31-32
Player values: Shot: 100, Pass: 73, Dribbling: 88, Ball sense: 81, Speed: 100, Explosion: 100, Physical fitness: 38, Strength: 100, Coordination: 80, Comprehensive defense: 73.

Overall attributes (not average): 93
Special skills: Legend (Devil's injury recovery, Beckham's full-moon scimitar, Ronaldo's variation breakthrough, Robben's inward shot, Maradora's limping micro-step), Epic (Quares' outside instep, Van Persie's volley Volley, Rooney's shocking overhead kick, Dembele's left-right balance, Manchester United's fancy compass, Maldini's sliding tackle, Henry protecting the ball, Ten Hag's reversal in the press conference, Forlan's heavy shot). 】

"The overall rating reached 93, which is a steady improvement."

Chen Yufeng smiled and said, "Save the rest first and earn the interest next time, and then directly top up the coordination."

"After the coordination is added, it is about ball sense and dribbling, and passing is added at the end."

“When everything is maxed out, then focus your savings.”

"This period of time has been very chaotic, and it must be corrected quickly."

"Next, train hard, perform well in the Audi Cup, and try to start the new season with a championship trophy!"

Chen Yufeng has set new goals and is determined to live a regular life.

And that's exactly what he did.

In the next few days, he trained even harder under the suspicious eyes of his teammates and coaches.

Withstanding those shocked and doubtful eyes, Chen Yufeng moved forward with heavy burden.

Simeone talked to him many times, and Cerezo often appeared on the training ground. Both of them were very afraid that Chen Yufeng had picked up any bad habits during this period.

They are afraid that their more than 100 million euros will be wasted.

In this regard, Chen Yufeng has only one explanation. During this period, his life is not regular and he has not exercised much. He will be back soon.

The two had no choice but to believe and wait for Chen Yufeng's performance in the main game.

They hope that after the season starts, Chen Yufeng can reach the level.

Finally, on July 7, the first warm-up match arrived as scheduled.

After this warm-up match, the Audi Cup is coming soon.

…………

ps: We are pushing it as soon as possible. You can see that it is not just me, but it has been such a long time and I must be ready to push it forward.

The Audi Cup will start immediately and will start directly after the new season. Everyone will understand quickly. There must be a transitional plot, especially when going to a new club.
