Hero of the Penalty Area

Chapter VI Physical Test ()

The assistant coach of Zenit St. Petersburg, Vladimir Borovicka (vladimir·borovicka) carefully looked at the hero Chen who was standing in front of him.

At first glance, he looked very satisfied, his body was quite strong, his body was full of muscles, and his strength seemed to come out of these muscles at any time.

Ruslan Panchenko has already told him what happened at the CSKA training base in Moscow.

But he has no interest in this story. It is not too surprising that he can score a goal over the head of the Moscow youth team, not to mention the height of this kid is more than 1.9 meters. He likes "seeing is believing", so no matter what Pan Qinke said, he has to see Chen Yingxiong's performance with his own eyes before he can make a decision.

"Hello, hero." He greeted Chen Yingxiong in English.

"Hello, Mr. Coach." Chen Yingxiong replied neither humble nor humble.

Borovikia is quite satisfied. This kid has a good attitude, but he doesn't know if his heart is strong enough. The psychology of a professional player is also very important. If he has a strong body, but a fragile heart supports this strong body, then this person will not go long on the road of professional football.

Chen Tao looked at the two people a little excited and nervous.

Early this morning they took Panchenko's car and arrived in St. Petersburg. Originally, Panchenko wanted to take a day off before going to the club, but Chen Yingxiong told him that he was not tired at all and he should go directly to the training base. Panchenko took a look at the time. After four o'clock in the afternoon, the team is training, or if you go at this time, everyone will be there. He drove directly to the Udelny Park training base (udelny·park, named because of its proximity to this park), which is the location of the Zenit St Petersburg training base.

Then they quickly met assistant coach Borovicia

Chen Tao is very satisfied with the attitude shown by this club. Unlike the CSKA, Zenit's coaches seem to be friendly and easy to get along with.

He thought that if his son could stay here in the end, it would be better than staying in Moscow...

"I heard Ruslan tell your story yesterday."

Hero Chen grinned openly.

"I'm very curious about your physical fitness. How about letting us take a physical test first?"

"No problem, Mr. Coach."

Borovikia nodded and motioned for the fitness coach Valery Krzakov to come over.

The physical test is actually very simple. First measure Chen Yingxiong's height and weight, and then let him do five sets of 100-meter sprints and 30-meter sprints, five sets of 12-minute long distance runs.

It's not the same as the physical fitness test of Zhenger Bajing. This is just to give Zenit's coaches a basic understanding of the physical fitness of the big man in front of him-he looks very tall and strong, but how fast is it? , How about endurance? None of these coaches knew.

Chen Tao stood on the sidelines, looking at his son who was being tested on the court.

He is not worried about his son's physical fitness at all.

He himself is not tall, and his wife Li Yun is not as tall as Lang Ping, but the son he gave birth seems to have been genetically mutated, and his head rises so much that they scared them as parents.

Chen Yingxiong is growing fast. If he likes football, Chen Tao sent him to play football. At the beginning, he really didn't want to train his son to become a professional player. He just thought that since his son liked it, he sent him to play. Later, it was discovered that his son still showed some talent for playing football, and then he began to seriously consider training him as a professional player. At that time, China's professional league had just begun and it was in full swing. Chinese fans squeezed their enthusiasm for many years. They were all inspired by our own professional leagues. The media reported on the lives of professional players and professional leagues. Those stars frequently appeared in the newspapers. Chen Tao felt that making his son a professional football player and engaging in professional football seemed nothing wrong. Ok.

Since he was a child, Chen Yingxiong has eaten the best and most nutritious food. Their family hardly eats pork, and mainly eats beef, chicken, and fish. Milk and eggs are available every day, never broken. At that time in the mid-1990s, there were not many families that could do this. They depended on Chen Tao to go to the sea to do business, and their family had this economic strength.

Chen Yingxiong did not live up to his father's hopes of "being a dragon," and the beef, milk and eggs. Since the fourth grade of elementary school, he has been a head taller than all his peers, and his body has been growing rapidly until it gradually slows down in high school. In this way, he is 1.92 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms, and his physical development has not completely stopped, and there is still room for upward movement.

In 1994, China's first professional football league kicked off in Chen Tao's hometown. The football boom quickly swept across China. Many teenagers were sent to various football schools by their parents for training. Chen Yingxiong is also one of these thousands of teenagers. One of them.

From a football school to a professional team, and then to the echelon of a professional football club, Chen Yingxiong has risen smoothly all the way-of course, the red envelopes his father gave to the coaches are naturally indispensable.

Relying on his excellent physical fitness, he can still have a place in the club's youth team. But such a smooth experience seemed to make Chen Yingxiong's temper soar.

Just when he was about to become a professional player, that fight happened. Everything is over. Twelve years of childhood and youth, hundreds of thousands of yuan in expenses, the beef, eggs and fresh milk that have been eaten... are all in vain.

How to do?

My son has been playing football since he was a child, although he has also taken cultural classes in football school. But what is the role of the kind of culture class that only spends half a day and often skips class? At most, he will not let his son become an illiterate.

Except for football, my son knows nothing.

That week, he was so angry that he didn't say a word to his son, and at the same time he was thinking about his son's future... Pity the parents of the world. No matter how sad the son is, he still has to think about it. After much deliberation, Chen Tao felt that he still had to continue playing. However, he has learned a lot about the nasty things of Chinese domestic football clubs over the years. He thought that if he was still in China, he might not be able to play out with his son's character... or go abroad to try his luck? Isn't the European football league very developed? Then go to Europe!

In this way, Chen Tao, who had made up his mind, secretly borrowed some money from his relatives and friends, pieced together one hundred thousand yuan, and took his son to Germany to watch the World Cup. By the way, he came out.

I didn't think I came to Europe to see what the real high-level professional football is all about. Compared with those real professional clubs, my son may still be able to play in domestic clubs, but in Europe, people simply look down! Chen Yingxiong doesn't even have the qualifications to be selected for his own national team, so how can he impress those picky Europeans?

At home, if the strength is not enough, red envelopes come to collect. If your son doesn't want him, you can still send money to send your son in. In Europe, you can’t find a way to send money!

Borovicia was satisfied with Chen Yingxiong's physical fitness test.

The time for the five sets of 100-meter sprints is eleven seconds, seventy-nine, eleven seconds, seven-eight, eleven seconds, ninety-five, ten seconds, ninety-eight, and twelve seconds, 11.

Compared with the speed players such as Ronaldo and Robert Carlos at his peak, his speed is not particularly fast, but it is definitely not slow. And from this set of data, it can be seen that his speed has not dropped significantly. You must know that these five sets of 100-meter sprints are the continuous behavior of restarting the sprint after only 30 seconds of rest after each set. Under such a high-intensity sprint, the time spent is reduced so little. Besides, a big man can run at this speed, which is remarkable in itself.

From this we can know that although Chen Yingxiong is not a pure speed player, he has good physical continuity and good physical fitness.

This was also confirmed in the subsequent 30-meter sprint and 12-minute run.

Chen Yingxiong's twelve-minute run time was 4,600 meters.

This result made Borovikia very happy, knowing that his team's average score in the twelve-minute run is only 3,800 meters, and the 4,600 meters is the best in the first team.

It seems that the physical quality of this hero Chen is indeed quite excellent.

After testing his stamina, Borovia asked Hero Chen to take a break and prepare for the ball test.

Chen Yingxiong sat on the sidelines, and his father immediately ran up to massage him and rub his legs, and gave him a thumbs up. He had been staring at the assistant coach, and the joyful expression on his face when the assistant coach saw Chen Yingxiong's performance made Chen Tao's eyebrows happy.

A good start is half the battle. I hope this time my son can truly win the coach's favor.

"It's a piece of cake, Dad. You don't know." Chen Yingxiong seemed to be humble, but in fact he was proud. This is his style.

After twelve minutes of running, he gasped a little, but he was not tired.

We must know that when A-A did the twelve-minute running test, the results of those professional players were visible to everyone. At that time, media from all over the country gathered at the Kunming Haigeng Training Base to report on the grand side of the body. For the Chinese professional players at the time, the three-kilometer was the passing line. Only after traversing the three-kilometer in twelve minutes can they directly qualify for the new season of the League A. Two thousand eight hundred meters need to be supplemented. Three thousand two hundred meters is another benchmark, which means that this player has excellent physical fitness.

At that time, there were very few people who could run the 3,200 meters, and there were no teams in some teams who could run to this level. Some players with poor physical fitness ran the 2,800 meters, and they all ran so drool and tears, and some players fainted directly on the track-the media was like a shark smelling blood, swarming. Go up, go around and shoot, and the poor "loser" can only curl up in the blanket and sob. So that "twelve-minute running" has become synonymous with hell, making many professional players panic, and the coaches are also quite helpless. In 2002, with the unanimous opposition of players and coaches, this physical test, which was formally linked to competition results in 1992, was cancelled after insisting on it for a full ten years. Chinese professional players no longer have to dream at night and will be scared awake. . But the good times didn’t last long. They soon discovered that the yoyo physical test is not much more cute than a twelve-minute run...Anyway, for players with poor physical fitness and an uncorrect attitude, how scientific the physical test still makes them feel painful. .

And the result of Chen Yingxiong today even surpassed the original record of Cassiano in the 12-minute running test of A-A. At that time, Cassiano ran a result of 4,400 meters. Legend has it that Cassiano didn't try his best at the time. There are also legends that Cassiano took part in this physical fitness test for the first time. Without translation, he knew how to run stupidly.

With this comparison, we can know how good Chen Yingxiong's physical level is.

Of course, in China, a twelve-minute run is a life-and-death test of whether a player can obtain a new season's post. Now in Zenit, it's just a simple physical test to find out how hero Chen's endurance is, and it doesn't determine whether he can enter Zenit.

After a short break, the coaching staff also finished the arrangement. The under-18 youth team of the team accompanied Chen Yingxiong to test, which is the same as yesterday's CSKA Moscow.

A coach with a whistle on his chest walked up to Chen Yingxiong and said to him, "Are you ready, young man?"

Hero Chen nodded.

"The game time is 50 minutes, 25 minutes in the second half and 10 minutes in halftime." From this test, we can see the difference between Zenit St. Petersburg and CSKA Moscow. A formal game is obviously more formal and respectful than finding four people to partner and bully one person.

The coach handed a yellow vest to Chen Yingxiong and asked him to put it on.

Seeing his son put on his vest and step onto the court, Chen Tao couldn't help but become nervous...
