Chapter 401 The Footsteps of the New Season ([-])

In the next week or so, Fan Bizhuang's life returned to normal. He got up early every morning, first ran around the small courtyard for a while, and after going home for breakfast, he went to the training ground to participate in the team's daily training.

Life is as plain as water, calm and full of law.

In the past few days, more and more players have returned, Marcos, Senna, Cazorla, Thomasson, Nihat, Harvey Wenta... These players who participated in this summer's European Cup finally It was the return to the team to report, and their arrival also added more laughter to the training ground.

Especially Cazorla, Senna and others, they won the Delaunay Cup with the Matador Legion this summer and stood on the top of Europe. This honor belongs not only to them, but also to the entire team. After all, they also belong to Members of the club, they represent the club and have contributed to the new European Championship, and everyone feels and is honored.

Cazorla, Senna and others are in a state of excitement at any time, and the joy of winning the European Cup has been continued to the present.However, apart from the joy, these people also have regrets in their hearts. They also feel sorry for Fan Bizhuang not being selected for the national team this time. In their view, Fan Bizhuang definitely has a foothold in the Matador Legion. Ability, everyone can work hard together in the club, and it is a blessing to fight side by side again in the national team, but it is a pity that Fan Bizhuang was inexplicably lost to the national team, and also lost the opportunity to stand on the top of Europe.

Senna and others went to comfort them after their return, which made Fan Bizhuang dumbfounded.After finding out that Fan Bizhuang really didn't care, he didn't say anything more.

Of course, some people are happy and some are unhappy.The one who is not happy is the team's number one "gunner" Nihat.

As the main striker of the Turkish national team, Nihat's performance in this European Cup can be regarded as remarkable. In this tournament, he scored a total of three goals, which seems not many, but This year's European Golden Boot winner and top scorer David Villa only scored five goals in total, so this statistic is really good.

Nihat's good state is inseparable from Turkey's outstanding performance. The performance of the Star and Moon Army in this cup can be said to make the whole world exclaim again and again. They often stage lore or comeback, especially in the four points In one of the finals, they even beat the mighty Oranje Netherlands team. That is, after this game, Turkey has also become the favorite to win this cup.

But unfortunately, in the semi-final match against Germany, Turkey was still defeated by the German chariot, and Nihat only played half of the game, and had to bid farewell to this European Cup in advance because of a strain.

This is what makes Nihat unhappy. In his opinion, if he is not injured and in his good condition, he might be able to score goals, let alone the European Cup Golden Boot. He can even compete for the finals. Maybe there is nothing wrong with the German team. Of course, if Turkey really enters the final, with this guy's piss, maybe he will think that the championship has nothing to do with Spain.

"So this is where you should be thankful. If I was there, hey, what is the German team, what is the Spanish team, I kicked left, kicked right, and then a header, a proper hat-trick, beat you I don’t even know grandma, but I will take home the championship trophy!”

Nihat hummed and blatantly boasted, causing his teammates to burst into laughter.Senna, Cazorla and other Spanish national team players also smiled wryly, and they didn't bother to argue with this "stupid guy". Let's not talk about whether we can win verbally, even if we can, so what, never go Show off your IQ with a "funny comparison", that will only lower your own IQ.

After entertaining himself for a while, Nihat took Fan Bizhuang's shoulders again after discovering that he was invincible.

"Ha, it's been a long time, little rookie. Let me tell you, it's a great pity that you didn't participate in this European Cup. It's not that you will perform well if you participate, but you can't see me in Austria Aren't you very sorry for the performance of showing great power, very heartbroken!"

"Hey, hey, why did you turn around and leave? I was just joking... Ha, why don't I apologize to you, how about I invite you to the bar tonight?"

"Hei, ha, um... little rookie, don't make a fuss about whether you're going to Happy tonight, ha, I'm treating you, I'm really treating you..."

Nihat still had such a loose character, Fan Bizhuang had a warm smile on his lips, but he was too lazy to talk to this guy.

The days passed quickly in the laughter and training of the big guys. In a blink of an eye, there are only ten days before the start of the new season of the league.

In fact, the pre-match preparations for the new season are extremely cumbersome. In addition, this year is different from the past. The European Cup has just passed, and the wave of the Olympic Games is also in full swing, so time is very important for most football clubs. , are somewhat insufficient.

The same is true for Villarreal. The league will kick off on the 29th, and the submarine training will start on the 8th. This time has been postponed a lot due to the impact of the European Cup. Coupled with the miscellaneous things of the players, many people were unable to return on time. When the team was almost fully assembled, it was already around No. 15.

The whole team practiced together for only half a month. After the start of the league, no one knew what the state of the team would be like.

This is really a helpless thing. The only fortunate thing is that this embarrassing situation is not unique to a club in Villarreal. Some small clubs that do not chase the ball are better. The many good players in the team are even more "seriously injured". After all, they have sufficient funds, strong strength, and relatively stable results. Naturally, there are more international players in the team, and there is not enough time. This combination of new and old is even more of a big problem.

Of course, everyone cleans the house by himself, and don't care about other people's roofs. Villarreal has no mind or interest to meddle in other people's affairs, and he is still too busy.

In response to this situation of insufficient time, Pellegrini did not have a good solution. In the end, he had to choose the method of training instead of competition.

This is also a very common solution. Most of the games before the start of the new season are called "preseason games", which has nothing to do with the NBA regular season.

The preseason is also extremely important for a professional team. It can not only test the effectiveness of the team's pre-season preparations, but also test the status of the players in the team, and make improvements and find out the shortcomings. The solution.

However, the taste of modern football training has often changed, especially for some wealthy clubs. They often choose pre-season training in regions with a wide football audience, such as Asia or the Americas, in order to achieve the commercial purpose of attracting fans’ attention. The pre-season warm-up opponents are often local teams, which can better develop the football business potential of this region.

It can not only make money, but also open up the market, and at the same time, the team also achieves the purpose of training, so why not do it?

In fact, Villarreal originally planned to place the training camp in China.In the past few seasons, Villarreal's performance has been pretty good, and they have a group of solid and loyal fans. Although they are not considered a rich team, their influence is not too bad.Especially last season, he won the runner-up in the league and re-entered the UEFA Champions League. In addition, because of Fan Bizhuang, the submarine has been fanatically sought after in China.

This is a very good signal that the club leadership intends to make persistent efforts to penetrate the Chinese market thoroughly.

However, this proposal was eventually rejected by team coach Manuel Pellegrini. On the one hand, the team’s pre-season preparation time is not enough, and then travel long distances to Asia, which will inevitably affect the players’ body and spirit. The state brings a huge load. Another point is that China's capital is now at the time when the Olympic boom is set off. It is not appropriate to "catch money" at this time.

Due to Pellegrini's veto, the plan for the trip to China was naturally aborted.

But I can't go to China, but the preseason is still necessary. After careful consideration, Pellegrini has finalized two opponents for the warm-up match.

One is a local college league amateur team from Valencia, the capital city, and the other is a professional team, and it is also a top-level league team called Numancia. Among them, they achieved a good result of No.2, thus promoted to the First Division this season.

They are one of the three newly promoted polo teams this season. They are not well-known, but they can kill a bloody way through the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. No matter what, there will be two brushes, at least for Villarella As a "touchstone", there is still no problem.

In fact, according to Pellegrini's plan, three to five warm-up matches before the season will be arranged, but the plan can't keep up with the changes, because of the lack of time, in the end it can only be cut off with a wave of hands. The two warm-up matches were neither intensive nor loose, just right.

Of course, the opponents of these two competitions are not very strong. For most people, this is just a warm-up match for fun, but for more people, these two matches have more significance.

On the football field, the theme is always passion and blood, but what cannot be ignored is feelings.The happy memories, the crazy years, and the sadness at the farewell, these are all fragments that will never be forgotten.

Some people come, some people go, this is an eternal topic.
