Football: What is a mad dog full-back?

Three days after Andy joined Dortmund, the youth team had a one-and-a-half-month holiday.

Unlike the echelon, the youth team had a large personnel change after a season of competition.

Some players who were unwilling to participate in the regional league switched to the German Third Division or even the German Second Division clubs.

Andy did not rest.

In addition to going to the club to keep training every day, he also had to make up for his German.

It must be said that he still has some language talent, and the buff efficiency when learning German has reached 500%!

So much so that he could communicate freely with the landlord in just half a month.

Teacher Tom was very shocked by his talent!

After a telephone conversation with Comrade Lao An, Tom applied for Andy to study applied linguistics at the Technical University of Dortmund.

Andy protested...

He really didn't want to go to school, but the protest was ineffective.

For the entire holiday, in addition to studying and sleeping, Andy spent all his time on training!

All the coaches in the entire training base knew him!

People also nicknamed Andy "crazy"!

Kerr, the health consultant of the echelon, has a daily job to check his body...

It's because Andy's training volume is completely inconsistent with his age!

Normal athletes should have breakfast + training + lunch + rest + training + recovery + dinner after adequate rest...

Andy is: extra training + breakfast + training + lunch + extra training + training + dinner + extra training + recovery...

The supervisor even ended the vacation early and returned to the base to give Andy the right guidance.

Andy chose not to accept people's suggestions.

The sequelae of training at all costs is that the health value panel has changed from 10+185 to 10+135 (extra health)...

Of course, there are also benefits. Andy's height has increased from 168.3cm to 168.5cm!

The day before the end of the vacation, Dortmund officially announced the personnel adjustment of the youth team.

[Dear Dortmund fans!

We are proud to announce that 18-year-old Chinese talented full-back Andy has officially joined Dortmund Youth Team...

Andy came to us from Benfica Youth Training Camp...We have been committed to discovering and cultivating young football talents...

Let us look forward to Andy's wonderful performance in Dortmund Youth Team and witness him moving towards higher football goals! 】

Originally, the news of Andy's joining was a very small headline at the bottom, which was far less attractive to media coverage than the news of the first team.

But!

Andy was once a well-known youth player in Portugal, and was selected into the list of the most promising midfielders under 18 in Europe.

Many Portuguese media published reports to satirize German football.

[From the transfer of players with ALS, we can see the "hunger and no choice" of German football! ]

[The "hypocrisy" of German football-how attractive is the market for Chinese players? ]

...

As soon as the news came out, German domestic media fought back!

However, some media still stood up to criticize Dortmund's choice...

[Sky Sports Column: From the German Third Division to the Regional League, signing Andy is a sign of their decline...]

[Bild: Insiders revealed that Andy joined through the "backdoor"! ]

...

The media's guidance made some Dortmund fans who did not know the truth suspicious, and they would leave messages under the official website and social media.

But most Dortmund fans are still relatively rational, and the stay or departure of the youth team members is not important to them.

The Chinese media stationed in Germany also noticed the news about Andy, especially his nationality...

They applied to the headquarters to investigate Andy's past career experience for subsequent reports.

Dortmund officials did not respond to the controversy.

CEO Watzke only instructed the youth training director to organize a comprehensive test of the second team as soon as possible and send the information to his office as soon as possible.

On July 23, the youth team's vacation ended.

The whole team ushered in a two-day health and physical data test!

There was no surprise, Andy was completely healthy.

Moreover, he crushed all his teammates with a body fat rate of 12%!

Head coach Hans was very happy!

Because he also found that Andy could communicate with people around him without language barriers!

On the second day of physical data testing...

Speed ​​test:

Andy sprinted 30 meters in 4.21 seconds!

60 meters in 7.08 seconds!

10 meters shuttle run was stable at 2.5 seconds, and the movement remained stable after ten consecutive shuttle runs!

In this wayThe data made the coaching staff members stunned!

What a speed winger!

Aubameyang of the first team has a 30-meter sprint record of 3.7 seconds, and the average score is around 4 seconds.

Andy, who is less than 170cm tall, has such a strong burst!

In terms of jumping test:

Andy's vertical jump height reached 70cm, and his run-up jump height reached 85cm.

This is completely different from his previous data, so much so that the coach who tested him called "Benfica unprofessional".

Next is the endurance test:

In the aerobic session, Andy ran nearly 3,000 meters in 12 minutes.

In the anaerobic session, multiple 30-second full-strength sprints were performed in a short period of time, and the next round of sprints was performed after a 30-second rest in the middle...

Andy persisted for 10 groups, and was still able to keep the speed above the average, and the quality of the movements was relatively stable.

In terms of strength test:

Andy passed the upper limb strength test of completing 20 standard pull-ups in a row.

In terms of lower limb strength, Andy completed 5 squats of 105 kg with a body weight of 72 kg!

Flexibility test:

In the forward bend, backward bend and split tests, Andy's data was also above the average.

In addition, Andy ranked in the top three of the team in terms of ball control, passing, shooting, receiving and dribbling!

Just when the entire coaching staff was shocked that Andy created a new record for the Dortmund youth team...

The results of Andy's psychological test surprised them again!

Failed...

The report said that Andy's tactical understanding ability was acceptable, but his aggressiveness was seriously exceeded!

...

...

After the results were announced, two players were extremely sure of the accuracy of the test!

That was Mitsuru Mitsuru and Pulis!

Both of them felt Andy's aggressiveness in the training match...

Especially Pulis, the swelling of the injured part was completely reduced after a week of rest at home.

...

When the data file was sent to the CEO's office, Watzke made a decision on the spot.

Cultivate Andy vigorously!

Once the youth team has a good performance, immediately create momentum for the Asian market!

Before the start of the new season of the Western Regional League, the Ruhr News, which is tied to Dortmund, published a front-page headline.

[Full of talent! Dortmund's signing of the young full-back has amazing talent! ]

The article not only records some of Andy's data, but also describes his hard training vividly.

It is said that after reading this article, the Benfica management asked the data department to sort out the information overnight!
