Chapter 260: On the Eve of the La Liga Final
Real Madrid players' physical training is no joke, and it is certainly not just a casual exercise. Although it is generally called physical training, it is not just about training their endurance, but about each player's physical shortcomings or strengths that need to be strengthened.
For example, Modric's physical fitness is to run quickly in circles on a treadmill, which depends on Modric's flexibility.
As for Eggsy, who is from the same school as Modric, he has to train the core strength of the upper body abdomen. Because Modric has a low chassis, his balance is the best. But Eggsy is more than a little taller than him, and he may not be as good at balance as Modric when hit, so his core strength and balance driven by the abdomen are very important.
Just imagine, Eggsy's attack is very fast. If someone comes and hits him at this time, if Eggsy fails to keep his balance, he will definitely fly away with the ball. At that time, losing the ball is a small matter, but being hit by someone is a big deal.
Therefore, Eggsy not only has to train pull-ups, but also rope swinging with his arms, as well as using the strength of his waist and abdomen to keep himself on the pedal yoga ball without falling down.
The doubling of this physical training meant that the training time was increased from 1 hour to 2 hours. When everyone finished the training, many of them were sweating all over. You can imagine how good their sleep was tonight.
However, their training is over, and the care of their bodies has just begun. They have to go to the massage and jacuzzi to soak in cold water to prevent their muscles from soreness after long-term training.
This was a bit too comfortable for Eggsy, who had just returned today, so he fell asleep while soaking in the warm water massage bathtub. Ronaldo, who was standing by, pulled Eggsy, who was about to slide down, over to him without saying a word and leaned him against his body.
He was still talking to other teammates throughout the whole process, and the movement of pulling Eggsy over and leaning him against him was extremely smooth.
The most important thing is that Eggsy leaned on Ronaldo's shoulder without even raising his eyelids, and rubbed it slightly, as if he had found a position to avoid the bones and lean directly on the comfortable muscles. He was so familiar with it.
The teammates seemed to be used to Eggsy's behavior, and the voices of their conversations instantly dropped several decibels. Only Marcelo, who was not afraid of disturbance, came over and tried to poke Eggsy's face with his finger as a prank, but he was interrupted by Ronaldo just as he stretched out his hand.
Then, Ronaldo hugged Eggsy and asked him to lean towards him. Eggsy, who was in a daze, didn't even resist, and just went along with it, his head sliding directly into Ronaldo's neck and finding a comfortable place to continue sleeping.
To be honest, if someone took a photo of this pose and this situation, Ronaldo would have confirmed the rumors about his comrades. And some people would probably say that he even stretched his evil hands to his teammate Eggsy. But, in fact, when the other teammates saw this scene, they didn't have any opinion on such a scene that could easily be misunderstood, and they didn't even think about it.
It is common knowledge that Eggsy tends to fall asleep when taking a bath, and all teammates around him must do the same, otherwise this kid might drown himself.
After the soak, the teammates quickly woke up Eggsy, and then they all got dressed and went back to the dormitory. Now Real Madrid has entered a closed training period, and it is impossible to go home. Now they have to go to bed early and get up early, listen to the nutritionist's arrangement, and train actively.
After all, the La Liga Championship is in 5 days, and their teammates are old acquaintances, Barcelona.
Barcelona is doing quite well this year, even surpassing Real Madrid by 3 points in La Liga. But today's La Liga final is held at Barcelona's Camp Nou, so it's an away game. If they win this game, they can make up the difference, and if they score more goals, they will surpass Real Madrid.
This match was different from the last one. Both sides had come for the trophy after a whole season. It could be said that all their tricks would be revealed at this time. So everyone was like, "Let's play all our cards to see who's better."
This time, Barcelona's main players are all out, Messi, Suarez, Coutinho and Dembele, this is Barcelona's first peak line. With Messi as the core, he has a unique vision and technology, and together with the aggressive striker Suarez, the pressure on Real Madrid's defense is imaginable.
However, Barcelona's own defense is not made of paper. The central defender combination of Pique and Umtiti is stable and reliable. Both of them have top physical fitness and competition ability. Alba and Semedo are left and right backs respectively. They can not only defend well, but also actively participate in offense.
In Barcelona's main lineup, the role of the midfield cannot be ignored. Busquets, Rakitic and Iniesta form a midfield. As the team's defensive midfielder, Busquets has excellent passing and intercepting abilities; Rakitic is an all-around player who can play well in any position in the midfield; Iniesta is a representative of Barcelona's youth training system, with extremely high football IQ and skills.
Just take this kind of team, which can attack in the front, defend in the back and intercept in the middle, as an opponent that club will have trouble with.
The same is true for Real Madrid. They can also play Ronaldo, Benzema, and Bale in the front. The speed of these three people can be said to be that they are not running, but at least they are flying at low altitude. Their breakthroughs, dribbling, and skills are all outstanding. Moreover, Ronaldo's offensive awareness and ability, Benzema's skills, and Bale's speed all complement each other.
Of course, Real Madrid's backfield is also the focus of this season. Ramos and Pedro share the left and right back positions respectively, while Pepe and Marcelo can defend the middle well. Real Madrid's defense line has not only been strengthened in this line, but also invested in the back waist. Kroos and Lisbon have become central defenders. Their defense has always been outstanding.
As for the most crucial midfield, Igesi and Modric are a master-disciple partnership this time. Igesi's breakthrough, dribbling, speed, and tactical awareness are all top-notch, while Modric's skills, offensive organization, and even single-line breakthroughs are also world-class. The coordination and even tacit understanding of the two players from the same lineage are probably the best on the court.
Now that Barcelona has the ability and Real Madrid also has targeted personnel arrangements, how can this game not be exciting?
The entire stadium was completely full today, and even the sidelines were occupied by various media and broadcast cameras. Everyone's eyes were on the players' exit, waiting for the players to appear.
The Real Madrid players are now in the away dressing room, which is a good environment and much more spacious than some other stadiums. Even so, the dressing room is much quieter than usual today, and all the players are thinking about their tasks after going on the court, and are still organizing or putting on their equipment.
Eggsy had just put on his socks, and he was stuffing his shin guards into his socks before he put his feet into his shoes. These were new shoes he bought before the closed training camp, and the old ones felt a little small, and because of Eggsy's running, several studs on his shoes had fallen off.
But Eggsy has already gotten used to this series of Assassins, and just bought a size larger. Now, he is lacing his shoes up little by little to ensure that they fit his feet. While he is struggling with the laces, Eggsy's eyes have gradually turned golden.
To be honest, he has been looking forward to this final for a long time. Now Eggsy also knows that his life and mood have been affected by that case. Now he really wants to play a good game.
Of course - what he wanted most was to lift the championship trophy.
It would be best to apply to the club, and then ask Eggsy to make a replica and put it at home. There is a special showroom on the second floor of his house, and there are many empty seats.
What makes Eggsy most excited is that he can choose a trophy to sleep with him every night~
Just as Eggsy was imagining that he might be able to sleep with the La Liga Champions League trophy tonight, Chairman Florentino just pushed the door open.
Zidane had just launched the tactical mobilization for this game, and was now discussing with the coaching staff what they needed to pay attention to during the game. Then they were a little surprised by the arrival of the chairman. Obviously, they didn't know that Chairman Florentino was coming.
"Sir." Mr. Florentino laughed as Zidane walked up.
"Don't be nervous." The chairman smiled and tilted his head. After greeting Zidane, he immediately looked at the players behind Zidane, and then said with a smile: "I am here just to tell you about a resolution that the top management has just passed."
When all the players looked at him, Mr. Florentino cleared his throat and said loudly: "Today, in this game, the goal bonus will be doubled~"
After these words came out, the entire Real Madrid team paused for a moment, but after two seconds of silence, the entire stadium cheered! This included the Real Madrid defenders, of course.
The American players all knew that almost everyone in their team except Navas could go up and play, and they were quite interested in it. For the Real Madrid players, scoring a goal today could trigger a double bonus, which really triggered a "striker's heart" for everyone.
So when he came on the court this time, Eggsy also looked at Bale, Ronaldo, and Benzema, and then his eyes glanced at Modric and Ramos.
Several people looked at Eggsy and immediately understood, then they laughed. They all reached out and patted Eggsy on the shoulder, then opened the door together and stepped into the player tunnel under the leadership of Zidane.
