Chapter 144 Do You Feel Better
After adjusting at the training base for a few days, Gao Bo took the team to the sunny Iberian Peninsula.
Gao Bo decided not to stay in England for this year's pre-season training, but went to the famous Marbella Football Center in Spain.In addition to the fact that the weather here is far more suitable for pre-season training than the rainy England, the more important reason is that the Marbella training base is large enough that many teams will choose to come here for training, which means that the team can easily find warm-up opponents here.
After arriving in Spain, the team's training really entered the devil mode that made the players complain.
Faced with the training load that seems to be increasing day by day, the veteran Campbell can't stand it.The 35-year-old Campbell feels his legs are shaking almost every day after training. After all, age is already here.
The rest of Luton's players are still very young. Campbell has nothing in common with these young players. Instead, he has a better conversation with Kevin Keane, who is about his age.
Campbell, who was walking alongside Kevin Keane, nudged Kevin Keane with his elbow as they walked toward the cafeteria after training one morning.
"Kevin, did you train so much last season?!"
Kevin shrugged: "Don't let you think how our FA Cup came about, we won the FA Cup as a second division!"
"But this amount of training is too much!!"
"Don't worry, Sol, it's only a week or two, and the amount of training is a bit more during the period of reserve physical fitness. After this period of time, it will be much better when you have the ball to train..."
"Hey, I'm over 30, but my body is not as good as these brats like them."
Campbell touched his bald head and sighed.
The training before the season was done step by step, but Gao Bo's work was still very busy. The players' daily training situation and their physical condition would be compiled into data and presented in front of Gao Bo. He needed to know the team's situation in real time.
The players go first, the coaches follow.
"Where did you recruit such a pervert?!" John has been observing Griezmann during this time.
It has to be said that Griezmann has completely conquered everyone in Luton.
In the team's confrontation, Griezmann scored a lot of goals. No matter which position Gao Bo arranged for him to play in the frontcourt, left winger, right winger, nine and a half, or even a center forward, this kid could always send the ball into the goal.
Flexible body shape, excellent foot skills, and shooting skills are also outstanding!
Gao Bo smiled triumphantly: "You don't have to doubt my vision, John! This kid will surprise everyone!"
"I'm already taken aback now," John said, shaking his head.
In addition to Griezmann, other new players performed very well. Alex Sandro's performance at left back made the coaching staff shine, and Karl Jenkinson also showed his outstanding talent.
Now it's time to wait for the game to verify their status.
"Have you contacted your opponents in the warm-up match?" Gao Bo asked.
There are quite a few teams coming to this football center for pre-season training, and it is very easy to contact warm-up opponents.
"Get in touch, Tours, a team in the French second division!"
Gao Bo nodded, he didn't really care about the opponent, he needed some warm-up matches to let the players slowly get into the feeling of the new season.
After all, Campbell couldn't stand the team's training load, so he found Gao Bo.
"Uh Boss"
Looking at Gao Bo who is much younger than himself, Campbell hesitated, and decided to call Gao Bo like other players.
"Sol!! How about it, let's get used to it these days!"
Gao Bo is very happy for the players to come to him to communicate after training.
"Uh, boss, I think my training volume is a bit too much." Campbell scratched his head, "If I continue to increase the volume, I'm worried that my knees won't be able to bear it."
These days are the team's physical reserve period, so the amount of training is increasing day by day. It's no wonder that Campbell is worried.
Gao Bo stopped what he was doing.
Campbell once suffered a serious knee injury, and he is already 35 years old. Such a player is indeed unable to compare with those young people in terms of physical fitness.
"How about keeping this amount?"
Gao Bo is not a tyrant, and there is a certain amount of training, and it is absolutely impossible to add it without limit-the players are all flesh and blood.
Campbell had a troubled look on his face.
"Don't worry, Sol. The increase in training volume is limited. We will reduce physical training in two days and start increasing training with the ball!" Gao Bo patted Campbell on the shoulder.
"Go back and have a good rest. You will start tomorrow's warm-up match!" Gao Bo said mysteriously, "Maybe you will feel much better during the match."
Campbell just nodded and left. As for the mysterious smile on Gao Bo's face, he didn't understand.
But Gao Bo knew why he had a "mysterious smile".
Because Campbell's experience and ability in the defense are trustworthy, as long as he has no problem with his physical fitness, he can be used as a first-class central defender!
To solve Campbell's physical problems, Gao Bo naturally thought of the card.
[Match Card (Green): Increase physical fitness by 15%, designate a player to use it! 】
Gao Bo still has a hundred lucky draw chances that are useless, so Gao Bo doesn't feel bad about exchanging for a green card.
In the warm-up match, the two teams are as good as possible.
The game was played at three o'clock in the afternoon, in a large stadium at the Marbella training base.
Such a warm-up match could not attract many spectators, and Gao Bo sent his favorite starter in the first half.
It is still the 442 formation of last season.
The goalkeeper is Schmeichel, Gao Bo chose the partner of Jeffrey and Campbell at the center back position, the left back is Alex Sandro, the right back is Mitchell Piran, and the four midfielders from left to right are Adam White, Drinkwater, Kanter, Kevin Keane, and the top two forwards are the partners of Vardy and Griezmann.
And when the starting players of the Tour club stood on the field, Gao Bo found that their striker looked familiar.
Isn't this Giroud?
Gao Bo thought of Giroud, who later played for Arsenal. This striker was later ridiculed by fans as a "face-slapping" striker. When you think he is not good, he can always surprise you, but when you think he must enter, he can also surprise you.
In fact, Giroud's standing ability is still good, and Giroud was also a person who won the Ligue [-] Golden Boot when he was in Ligue [-].
Gao Bo was thinking at this time, maybe he could poach Giroud, who is not yet famous, from the Tour club?
But Gao Bo quickly dispelled this idea. There are so many famous players in the future, so he can't become a Mavericks collector, right?
The overall state of Luton in the first warm-up match of the new season is not good.
But Campbell felt that he had a lot of strength out of thin air as soon as he stepped on the field, and he even ran a lot more briskly.
Is Coach Gao Bo's training really so effective?
Campbell was a little delighted, he hadn't experienced the feeling of continuous power coming from his muscles for a long time.
Campbell played very well, he became an iron gate in the defense, no matter what ball came to him, he could always deal with it in the most reasonable way.
Gao Bo was also very satisfied, especially with Campbell's performance. If the veteran's physical fitness is fine, his experience can definitely improve Luton's defense.
In this game, he equipped a card, the purpose is to give Campbell some physical strength, so that he can improve his self-confidence.
The result of the final game was one to one, with Griezmann and Giroud contributing to their respective teams.
After the game, Gao Bo specifically found Campbell.
"Sol, did you feel better during the game!"
Thanks to Xiaoben Black and White, Xiankan Weiyun, Skull Bones, Chenluo Linchuan, and Mohist Sword Cultivator for their support!
