Chapter 21 Competition

In addition to seeing through glory, David Silva was still a little dissatisfied with glory because he did not think he was worse than glory.

This is also caused by Iniesta...

At the beginning, Iniesta kept telling David Silva how great the glory was. David Silva developed a rebellious mentality and always felt that he was no worse than him.

Now that he comes to Manchester City, he naturally wants to compete with Rongguang.

Of course, David Silva's competition was not a direct challenge to glory in training.

He is not that stupid yet.

He can't be one-on-one with Glory in training games. He is not good at defending, and he can't be defending Glory.

So how do he compete with Rongguang?

※※※

Generally speaking, a team trains before the season! The first stage is physical training

Physical training before the season is the most important, because this directly determines the team's physical performance in the next season.

This season is Benitez's first full coach of Manchester City, and he will not take over the team halfway like last season.

If he took over the middle, he could actually do very little, because it was impossible to completely overturn Mark Hughes's trick, so he could only choose to make minor repairs.

This summer, he will start to intervene in the team's preparations from the pre-season training camp and instill his tactical ideas into the team.

From this time on, this team of Manchester City was truly his Benitez team.

For this reason, he started to use the knife from the coaching staff.

First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the coaches of the coaching team understand their tactical requirements and get used to their own training methods. Therefore, it is very important to find a coaching team that cooperates with tacit understanding.

To this end, Benitez almost replaced the entire Manchester City coaching team, leaving only the team's assistant coach Mark Bowen.

Benitez added as many as five new coaches, including two physical coaches, namely Antonio Pintus and Paco DeMiguel, among which Paco DeMiguel worked with Benitez during his time in Liverpool. Before coming to Manchester City, he was Liverpool's physical coach.

There is also an assistant coach Mauricio Pellegrino, who also worked with Benitez at Liverpool and has been poached by Manchester City from Liverpool.

A technical director, Mauro Pedzoli, who was once a sports director in Turin, also worked with Benitez at Liverpool. He was then a technical director of Liverpool. Later, he went to AC Milan and was a young director of AC Milan and was also poached.

Finally, the new coaching staff also has a scout - Eduardo Macia. He has worked with Benitez for a longer time. In the Valencia era, he was a member of Benitez's coaching staff. Later, Benitez went to Liverpool, and he also left Valencia with Benitez and switched to Liverpool to continue to be his scout. Now Benitez is going to form his own coaching team at Manchester City, so this scout is naturally indispensable.

In the training camp before this season, the first one to appear were two new physical coaches.

Based on the results of the team's physical examination on the first day of registration, they formulated different training + strokes based on the different physical conditions and technical characteristics of each player, as well as the requirements for the position on the field.

Everyone's training + formula is different.

Rongguang’s training + tracking is the most stringent, the highest requirements and the highest standards in the team.

This does not mean that Rong Guang has the worst physical fitness and the worst physical fitness. He must rely on such large amount of exercise to improve himself.

In fact, Rongguang's physical fitness is the best in the team, and his physical condition is also the best in the team after the holidays.

But he still arranges such a large amount of exercise because Rongguang really needs to build enough physical reserves at the beginning of the season. Because in the next season, Rongguang's performance is directly related to the team's performance.

If nothing unexpected happens, Benitez didn't think about letting Glory come down from the court. As long as he is not injured, he will be allowed to play all the games.

This season, Benitez is very clear about the challenges he is facing.

His success in taking over the middle of last season will not make his life better this season.

Because he knew that Middle Easterners actually didn't have much patience.

If he fought on both sides but performed poorly, he might follow in Mark Hughes's footsteps.

After all, he has seen too many such things in football, which is that a mid-range team suddenly qualified for the Champions League, but in the end, he was almost relegated in the league when he was qualified to participate in the Champions League.

This situation is particularly evident in Spanish football.

Valencia, who he once coached, has encountered a similar situation. He won the league championship last season and participated in the Champions League next season. In the end, he will definitely not even be able to get the Champions League qualification next season.

This is not just an exception, it is the case twice in a row.

Benitez doesn't want to repeat his experience in Valencia at Manchester City.

Glory is the key, so Benitez attaches great importance to his physical training.

Each player trains according to the training + plan arranged by the coach for himself during the physical training stage.

Different people have different training arrangements.

For example, it is also a two hundred-meter speed change race. Some people only need to run four groups, while others need to run six groups.

The time it takes for offensive players to train in speed is also longer than that of midfielders in endurance training programs.

This reflects that everyone's training time is different. When everyone's training is finished, Rong Guang is still on the training ground. Under the leadership of physical coach Paco Demiguel, he continues to train.

At this time, the players who had finished these training groups were taking a break on the sidelines.

They naturally turned their attention to the glory of still training on the training ground.

"It's really good to say that the boss chose Rong to replace Dunn as the captain. It's really the best choice..."

“That’s right, right…”

"We won't talk about his performance in the game, just talk about his attitude in training..."

"Who can be the captain if he trains like him?"

"Stop teasing, how could anyone be so arrogant like Rong? That's beyond the standards of ordinary people, haha"

Speaking of this, everyone laughed.

Everyone thinks this is simply a funny joke - how could someone compare to Glory?

Rongguang's investment in training is not only Manchester City's number one, but also the best in the entire Premier League.

Even...in the entire continent of Europe, it is impossible for anyone to compare with glory.

So everyone laughed, as if they had heard a joke.

But when everyone laughs, there is one person who is the exception.

David Silva did not laugh, he stared at the glory of sweating profusely on the training ground.

Did you train hard?

I will, too

"Speaking of it, there is something... This morning, David Silva came to me and said he wanted to increase his exercise in training..." At a regular coaching staff meeting every week, physical coach Paco de Miguel told Benitez about something he encountered today that made him very strange.

"David Silva took the initiative to ask for more training?" Everyone was also surprised when they heard this.

"Did you ask him why?" Benitez asked.

"I asked, he just said that he hoped to be physically prepared as soon as possible... I didn't agree to him. Everyone has requirements for training. He does not need to increase the training volume, regardless of whether it is physical fitness or training standards." Paco Demiguel said.

"It's good that David Silva has such an idea. After all, he has just joined the team. If he wants to accelerate his integration into the team, it's okay to be more dedicated in training..." said assistant coach Mauricio Pellegrino.

"Yeah." Benitez nodded and agreed to what physical coach Paco Demiguel did.

The amount of physical training cannot be added just by adding, and there are requirements.

※※※

After being rejected by trying to enjoy the same training intensity as Glory, David Silva did not give up on his idea.

He must compete with Glory during training. He believes that since Glory can be done, he should be able to do it too.

He wanted to see what's so great about Glory, so that Iniesta became his brainless fan.

Isn’t it just that training takes more time and intensity than ordinary people?

Since the coach does not allow him to do this, then he will practice himself in addition to training, just like Glory did.

After his observations over the days, he found that after the normal team training, Rongguang would go to the gym to practice extra for himself.

So today he decided to go to the gym to practice more for himself

He wants to compete with Rongguang

※※※

When Rongguang saw David Silva in the gym, he was a little surprised - he never saw anyone here after the training, and this person came earlier than he...

David Silva just glanced at Rongguang and continued his training. He was exercising his upper limb strength, sitting on the instrument, reaching out to grab the handle, pulling down forcefully, thereby lifting the weight on the opposite side.

Everyone will choose the weight that suits them. If it is too light, it will not work as a training method. If it is too heavy, it will cause muscle strain.

Rong Guang looked at David Silva and found that every move he pulled very hard. He gritted his teeth and looked ferocious. He used all his strength to pull up the weight opposite. After pulling it up, his expression became even more ferocious. His whole face turned red, and blue veins were rising on his neck. The weight slowly dropped, and finally stopped, and then continued to repeat the previous process... just like this.

Rongguang just took a look and didn't care - what else's training is about himself?

He sat on his equipment and began to exercise the muscle strength of his thighs.

Unlike David Silva, Glory seems much easier. On the one hand, the weight he chose is appropriate, and on the other hand, his thigh strength is not weak. Compared with this, David Silva is too thin...

From this point of view, Rongguang can also understand why David Silva trained himself more.

Wasn't it the same thing for me at the beginning?

He smiled and shook his head.
