Chapter 5 Mountain Climbing(1/2)
Rongguang actually doesn’t understand very well, why climbing a mountain makes everyone so painful?
We are all professional players, so we don’t even have the energy to climb mountains?
He decided to ask his teammates during the climb.
He soon ran to Schweinsteiger and Ram, and then ran and asked, "Why are everyone so afraid of climbing a mountain? Isn't it just climbing a mountain?"
Schweinsteiger turned his head and looked at Rongguang, grinning: "You are not familiar with the 'devil', Rong..."
"'Devil'?" Rongguang didn't understand.
Schweinsteiger explained: "It's our head coach, Magath. We call him "devil" privately. Because his training is really... very devil!"
"Oh, that's right, this is my first collaboration with him." After hearing the explanation, Rongguang nodded.
"Last year the team trained here, which was the first season when the Devil came here to coach. On the first day of his arrival, he asked the whole team to climb Mount Warberg. Although the team used to come to Rotach Egan to train and anyone could see this mountain, they had never climbed the mountain before. Do you know how long it took us to climb to the top of the mountain that time?" Schweinsteiger said.
Glory shook his head.
"Four and a half hours," Schweinsteiger said.
Rongguang opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"It's so difficult to climb?" Rong Guang looked up at the mountain at the end of the town street.
The lush green mountains and blue sky are quite beautiful, but Rongguang doesn’t think it will take so long for professional athletes to climb the mountain.
"The mountain is extremely steep," Schweinsteiger explained. "It's very steep. It's more than 1,700 meters above sea level. And everyone had just arrived at the team to report, and before they recovered, they were dragged to climb the mountain. None of the veterans persisted, and Sauer was even carried down on a stretcher..."
Rongguang grinned at the ear - just a training class, it was able to get players carried out on a stretcher... That was really terrible.
Schweinsteiger pointed to Ram next to him again: "Philip has the most say in the 'devil'."
Ram nodded: "The nickname 'Devil' was actually what we gave him when we were in Stuttgart..."
After hearing the descriptions of Magath by his two teammates, Rongguang frowned slightly, as if he was in deep thought.
When Schweiingsteiger saw Rongguang running by his side, he suddenly became a little surprised: "Hey, Rong, don't you think there is anything wrong?"
Rongguang came back from his contemplation and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Don't you think the training vest on your body is heavy?"
Schweinsteiger reached out and knocked on the vest of glory, making a buzz.
"Ah, it seems a bit heavy when you say this..." Rong Guang then realized.
Ram covered his face next to him - and asked Schweinsteiger to remind him, that is, he didn't feel that he was running in a heavy training vest before this?
※※※
The road from the training base to the foot of the mountain is actually very close, just run through this street.
All the players started climbing the mountain soon.
The road was very slow at the beginning, and no one felt it was difficult.
The wailing sounds that were no longer heard in the team, and everyone was climbing the mountain very seriously.
Only the sound of breathing is clearly heard.
Magath and two coaches followed the team at the end of the team and were running with the players.
In this process, Rongguang will occasionally look back. Every time he looks back, he can see Magath.
He thought to himself, if what Pig and Ram were right, then with Magath's training intensity, how could his players not rebel?
But he finished three full seasons in Stuttgart, and then came to Bayern Munich to take over. And he didn't hear any rumors that players were dissatisfied with the head coach in his first season at Bayern Munich.
Why?
Rongguang thought that this might be related to the fact that Magath would accompany everyone to practice every time?
If the head coach who is older than everyone else is still leading the way, it would be hard for others to say...
Rong Guang thought well. The reason why Magath had not caused the players' fierce backlash was related to his every time he would train together. When he saw that the middle-aged man with gray hair persisted throughout the whole process, the players naturally had no shame to say that they could not complete it...
After running for half an hour, the mountain road became narrow, winding and steep. Then we finally started climbing the mountain.
As the mountain road becomes difficult, the gap between the players is gradually widening.
The older players slowly fell to the end of the team. They were no longer running, but leaving.
However, Magath did not urge them to increase the price, but would just surpass them. Then, after a while, he ran back to see if everyone was still moving forward.
"Pigles" Schweinsteiger and Ram, as well as young players such as Rongguang are in the first group.
They lead the way at the forefront of the team.
Schweinsteiger's physical fitness was already very good, and Ram had been trained by Magath when he was in Stuttgart, so his current physical fitness was completely inconsistent with the one he had just arrived in Stuttgart.
In addition, the only person in the First Group who is over thirty years old is...Jerry Mess.
Although he is 31 years old, Jerry Mess is still one of the best physical players in Bayern Munich.
In terms of physical fitness, he is no worse than those young people at all.
※※※
After running for another half an hour, the road became more and more difficult to walk, just a path that was stepped out of the woods.
Bayern Munich players were struggling through the woods.
In some places, you have to use your hands and feet to climb through the ground...
Rongguang discovered that even Schweiingsteiger and Ram were slowing down.
However, this section of the road is indeed difficult to walk because the slope is very steep.
When I looked at the foot of the mountain, I didn't think there was anything special about this mountain. Now Rongguang knows that he must enter the mountain to know the truth...
※※※
Magath and the other coaches ran very slowly, so they were in good condition and they could stop and rest at any time.
Now the three of them are standing on the side of the road, watching Bayern Munich players pass by one by one in front of them.
There were obviously fewer people passing by them and the speed was slower.
"The team was being pulled long..." Assistant coach Henk wiped the sweat from his forehead, then turned his head and looked up. In the woods, he could see shadowy players. They were uniformly wearing bright yellow training vests, which were highly recognizable.
"It's been two minutes, and the veterans haven't passed yet." Fitness coach Loythard said with a stopwatch.
"It's normal, this is the hardest part of the road," said Magath. "Where is Rong?"
What he cares most about is actually the glory of this guy who just joined the team.
"From the beginning, he was in the First Group. His endurance and explosiveness were astonishing," said Reuthard.
Magata nodded and stopped talking.
※※※
Rongguang suddenly found that there was no one around him. Because he found that there were two heavy breathing sounds missing, he stopped and turned around, only to find that Schweiingsteig and Ram were both pulled dozens of meters later.
So he turned around and ran back.
"Why are you so slow?"
Hearing Rongguang's words, Schweiingsteiger really wanted to roll his eyes, but now he was so tired that he had no strength to roll his eyes.
Ram was a little better, and he said to Rongguang unhurriedly: "Because we are human!"
Rongguang pointed at himself: "Aren't I a human?"
Schweinsteiger finally got a little bit of strength, and he shook his head.
Ram was also shaking his head: "No. You are not."
"What am I?" Rongguang asked back.
Ram looked up and down and spoke quickly, his breathing was evenly glorious, and finally landed on his training vest filled with lead. "You are a monster!"
He said.
Glory grinned.
He thought to himself what this is? I have been persisting in the hell training of the old god for a month!
Compared with the old god, Magath's training intensity... is just that!
Looking back, I found the glory of Schweinsteiger and Ram, and suddenly I found that there was a man more than ten meters behind them. He was walking and crawling forward with great difficulty.
Rongguang recognized him at a glance, which was Jerry Mess, who had always been with him in the No. 1 Group!
After hearing that Jerry Mess is thirty-one, Rongguang has to admire his physical fitness.
For me, this hiking journey may not be too difficult, but looking at the people around me, you will know why they are so afraid.
He is now climbing a very, very steep slope, where Schweinsteiger and Ram were defeated.
Rongguang saw Jerry Mays try it several times, using both hands and feet, but he didn't have the strength to climb this actually very short steep slope.
So Glory continued to walk, came to Jerry Mess, and then reached out to him.
To be continued...
