Chapter 126 National Youth Life

Following Coach Luo, the three of them walked to a room on the east side of the second floor. The door sign of this room clearly stated the names of Li Tian and Chen Qiannan. Obviously, they had prepared for Li Tian's return to China to participate in the competition more than a month ago.

"Come in, this is your dormitory during your competition. There will be a teammate here living with you. I guess he should be training at the training ground of the track and field training center at this time. You should organize your luggage immediately and I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment of the entire training base later." Pushing open the door, Coach Luo let Li Tian and Assistant Cai in.

"It's not bad here!" Li Tian carefully looked at the one-bedroom apartment with his luggage bag. Judging from the living standards of boys, it is still tidy inside and outside, with a matching bathroom and bathroom. The outer room is a small living room, sofa and TV and other furniture, while the inner room is a rest bedroom. The two single beds are placed side by side and it doesn't feel very crowded.

"How is it, are you still satisfied? If you have any other requirements, you can tell me now!" Although special treatment cannot be received in the national youth team, Li Tian is the hope of achieving good results in the men's event in this competition. Therefore, as long as it is reasonable, Coach Luo will still satisfy him as much as possible.

"No need, this is already great!" Li Tian rejected Coach Luo's kindness. He has always had no high requirements for life. He can live in peace with just a room and a bed. Moreover, he doesn't want other team members to wear tinted glasses to see him, as this is not conducive to internal unity.

In just ten minutes, Li Tian took out all the clothes and training equipment from his luggage bag, arranged them neatly, and tidied up his bed.

"Okay, everything has been sorted out. Coach Luo, we can go out and get to know the surrounding environment now. I hope to invest in adaptive training in the afternoon." Li Tian's serious attitude towards training has always been praised by coaches. It has taken a lot of time to accompany his parents and shoot advertisements, so he doesn't want to waste another minute or second.

"Okay, let's take action now!" Seeing that Li Tian was able to train so actively, Coach Luo was too happy, so he nodded and agreed.

"That's it! Lao Luo, Xiaotian, I'll hand him over to you in full today. I'll go back to Tian Xie to handle some affairs, so I won't be with you anymore! Xiaotian, work hard, you are the best!" Cai Yuanqing stood up and said.

"Don't worry, I promise Xiaotian won't lose a hair here!" Li Tian is now considered a national treasure-level figure. Everyone is very cautious about everything from the Athletic Association to the National Youth Team, for fear of some mistakes.

The entire training base does not cover too much area. The most important thing is indoor and outdoor two standard training grounds and a large equipment gym. In addition, there are some living facilities such as public restaurants and leisure and entertainment rooms. After walking around with Coach Luo’s guidance and introduction, Li Tian has already kept the locations of all important places firmly in his heart.

"...Okay, what I mentioned above is the general situation of this training base. Now it's almost lunch time. You can go to the public restaurant for dinner first, then have a good rest at noon, and officially start training in the afternoon. How about it? All the leaders and coaches of our youth team will gather for a meeting, so there will be no time to accompany you again. There should be no problem!"

"Coach Luo, don't worry. I have already remembered the location here clearly. I can handle it myself." Li Tian rejected Coach Luo's proposal to accompany him to have lunch together, and walked alone towards the public restaurant of the training base.

At this time, the team members came back from the morning training. Teammates wearing national team uniforms walked towards the restaurant together. At this time, Li Tian, ​​who was wearing the same costume, did not attract the attention of others. Li Tian also followed the crowd and walked into the spacious restaurant.

Since this training camp concentrated outstanding young players from all over the country, in order to take care of the eating habits of athletes from all over the country, the food supply for the three meals at the training base is self-service. Each meal is carefully prepared by the chefs of the restaurant, allowing the athletes to use it freely.

"Li Tian!" Just as Li Tian picked up the plates with the other team members, an excited and loud voice sounded in his ears. In an instant, the restaurant that turned out to be lively became a sound.

"It's true, it's you!" At this time, a person rushed out of Li Tian, ​​put one hand on his shoulder, staring at Li Tian excitedly and kept looking at him. At this time, nearly a hundred pairs of curious eyes in the restaurant suddenly gathered their eyes on Li Tian, ​​hoping to see him, a recognized leader of the young generation of China's Tiantan.

"Hello, you are..." Li Tian looked at the excited young man in front of him with confusion. He really couldn't remember where he had known him.

"Haha! You probably haven't seen me yet. My name is Chen Qinan, who is the one assigned to the same dormitory as you!" After his explanation, Li Tian remembered that he had seen this name on the door sign when he entered the dormitory room just now.

"I have been looking forward to you for a long time. When I returned to the dormitory, I found that there was new luggage in the room. I guessed that you must have come. As expected, I met you here." Chen Qinan is a local player in Beijing. He is exactly 18 years old this year. He is a relatively promising mid-sports player with a special project of 800 meters. He is cheerful and outgoing, and he has always been familiar with others. The person he admires the most happens to be Li Tian, ​​who lives in the same dormitory with him, who is two years younger than him. More than a month ago, when he moved into the youth team's apartment, he learned that his other roommate was his idol. He was excited for several nights and didn't sleep well. He had been waiting for Li Tian to appear early, but after waiting for more than a month, Li Tian finally appeared in front of him alive. His excitement can be imagined.

"I'm very happy to meet you. Everyone lives together in the future. Please take care of me!" Li Tian stretched out his right hand very friendly.

"No problem, no problem! If you have any problems in the future, everything will be covered by me." Chen Qinan said with a slight slap in his chest. While the two were talking relaxed, the "audiences" around him did not dare to lean on him easily. Although Li Tian is the youngest player in the entire Chinese track and field youth team, he is undoubtedly the biggest star in terms of fame. These newcomers who are just starting out can only look up to Li Tian, ​​the "God" who is already famous all over the world, and they dare not step over the line. Only a guy like Chen Qinan, who is super energetic, dare to call Li Tian "shoulder-to-back" as soon as they come up.

"By the way, you haven't had lunch yet! Your luck is really good today. Yesterday I heard from the chef that there will be our famous Beijing dish - Beijing Roast Duck. You can enjoy your food." Seeing the empty plate in Li Tian's hand, he took the initiative to pull Li Tian around the huge buffet table to select food.

"This one is good!...This one is delicious too!...and this one tastes great! This is a good thing that you can't stop eating!..." Under Chen Qinan's enthusiasm, Li Tian walked around the buffet table, and the plate was filled with various delicacies like "small hills". Chen Qinan picked up a few of them by himself and dragged Li Tian to find a table and sat down.

"Eat quickly. The food here is made by a chef specially invited. It tastes very good. Let's have a good chat after eating." After greeting Li Tian, ​​Chen Qinan began to swallow it. The morning training made his stomach empty. Seeing his companions and teammates around him eating with relish, Li Tian frowned at the oily food on the plate, and he was slow to leave his chopsticks.

"What's wrong? Are these things not what you like?...Ah! I remembered that you are from the south and you can't get used to the taste of northern dishes. Then you can eat this fish-flavored shredded pork roll, this is an authentic southern dish."

"No need, thank you!" Chen Qinan was about to put a few fish-flavored pork rolls on his plate, but Li Tian waved his hand and refused.

"Qi Nan, do we usually eat these foods?" Li Tian asked in embarrassment.

"Yes, is there anything wrong? I think the taste is pretty good. Of course, it may be worse than what you eat abroad, but this is very good among the national teams in China." Chen Qinan didn't know what Li Tian said.

"It's not a question of whether the taste is good or not, but... you see, these foods have very problems with nutritional matching. Roasted duck, chicken wings and pork chops are too high in fat, and these seafoods have too much protein content. As carbohydrates that mainly provide energy, there are very few foods containing it. The proportion of the three major nutrients is obviously imbalanced, and the vitamins that vegetables and fruits can supplement are also limited. In this way, these foods cannot fully provide the energy needed by the human body during training. Unreasonable nutrition combinations will seriously affect the physical fitness of athletes, especially before athletes' competitions. Not paying attention to dietary nutrition will greatly limit the performance of athletes' performance, affect the improvement of sports performance, and in more serious cases, it will also endanger the physical health of athletes." Li Tianyi's series of fat, protein, carbohydrates, etc. made Chen Qinan confused, but he understood the consequences in the end.

"Is this really going to happen?" Chen Qinan hadn't come back to his senses yet.

"Of course, I learned relevant knowledge when I was studying abroad, and my usual recipes were specially set. The world's outstanding athletes will design recipes for them by special nutrition experts to meet their personal physical needs. It can be said that before the Chinese athlete competition began, they had already lost to those European and American players in terms of food." Li Tian's serious expression made Chen Qinan know that he was not talking nonsense.

"Then...so do it?" The coaches in the past would only ask them to eat some nutritious food, but they never considered the nutritional combination of food.
