Chapter 688
Chapter 688
Just a week before the No.18 round of the league, Bayern Munich ended their training camp in the warm Mallorca and returned to Munich.When they arrived in Munich, it was still snowing, and it was as if they had come straight from summer to winter.
This is also the reason why we have to come back a week early-to let the players adapt to the climate here, after all, the game is not played in Mallorca.
If you perform well in a warm place, but then you come back to a cold place and you don’t perform well, then you might as well train in Munich...
After returning to Munich, Rong Guang found the club's training equipment administrator Thomas Dallinger: "Mr. Dallinger, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."
Dallinger has a good impression of Rongguang, not only because he trains hard and performs well on the court.He's an equipment manager, so his focus is different from being called.He likes Rongguang because every time after Rongguang finishes his own training, he will pack up the training facilities he borrowed and put them back in the equipment room, instead of him having to wait for the final packing.
Such a sensible player, of course he likes it.
So seeing Rongguang's request, he didn't even ask what he was doing, and agreed: "No problem, just say it!"
"This... I want to make a training device..." Rong Guang introduced the things he used to practice heading to Dallinger.
Dallinger was a little surprised: "You mean on a pole, and then a football hangs down..." He imagined what this thing would look like. "What are you going to use it for?"
"Practice heading, Mr. Dallinger." Rong Guang replied.
"Header?" Dallinger quickly realized that Rongguang really doesn't know how to head the ball, at least he has never seen Rongguang score with a header before.
So it's normal for Rongguang to practice heading.
He nodded: "No problem, it will be ready for you in two days."
"Thank you, Mr. Dallinger."
"You're welcome, it's a trivial matter!"
Rongguang continued to stay and practice for himself, while Dallinger rushed back to make this special training equipment for Rongguang.
This thing is very simple and easy to make. It is an inverted L-shaped bracket, and a football is hung on the short side.
But... He really hasn't seen anyone practice heading like this.
There are special people in the team to train headers. At the beginning, the football is thrown to the practice players with their hands, and the players jump up to head the ball.
And Rong Guang is hanging the ball in the air, is this because he wants to practice alone?
really hard...
Bayern Munich's decision to bring him from Brazil was really correct. The only mistake was that they loaned him to Werder Bremen for two seasons, which resulted in almost no harvest for Bayern Munich in those two seasons.
But now, we have such a talented player who works so hard, maybe this season can really make a breakthrough in the Champions League?
Dallinger looked forward to it with anticipation.
※※※
When there is no training equipment, Rong Guang does exercises without the ball.Still jumped up and headed the ball, but just didn't hit the football with his head.
He just jumped up and headed the ball again and again, then landed, jumped up and made the header again.
A person repeating this action on the cold training ground will make any bystander feel boring.
But in this repetition, his mastery of the header technique is getting deeper and deeper.
That's what training is about.
※※※
On the second day, Magath heard from Dallinger that Rongguang was going to practice heading.
He was not surprised by this.
In his opinion, Rongguang really needs to practice heading.Although his current foot skills are good enough for 90.00% of the games, if he wants to become a more comprehensive and powerful player, if he wants to become the best player in the world, then he must make himself more comprehensive, and header is essential.
Now Rong Guangkong is 1.8 meters tall, has such a good bounce, but can't head the ball, it is really a bit violent...
It’s just that Magath had always held the idea that Rongguang couldn’t afford to train at home, and he didn’t take the initiative to suggest or ask Rongguang to practice heading.
Now that Rongguang wants to practice on his own, he must have thought it through and assigned his training plan.That's fine.
However, as the coach of the team... he also needs to help out with glory.
So he dug out the training plan and made changes.
※※※
After the team finishes a set-piece tactical training, according to the normal procedure, the team will conduct offensive training.
As long as the form is to arrange a few offensive players to train offensive routines, and at the same time arrange defensive players to defend, in order to create a real offensive and defensive environment as much as possible.
But something is different today.
Before the offensive training officially started, Rong Guang was called out by Magath alone, and did not do offensive routine training with his teammates.
The players are also very strange and don't understand why Magath wants to take the glory out of this training.Because this offensive routine training can be said to be almost tailor-made for Rongguang, Rongguang is the core of this training routine, and all offensive routines are designed around Rongguang.
So if the glory is not there, this training is meaningless.
Rong Guang didn't quite understand why Magath called him out.
Genk stood in front of the players, whistled for them to continue training, but no glory.
Rong Guang was called aside by Magath, where there was a basket of footballs.
"Let's practice heading," Magath said to the confused Rong Guang.
Rong Guang let out a soft ah. Before, he practiced by himself, but now a coach took him to practice. He naturally wanted it, so he didn't refuse, and didn't ask why, so he nodded: "Okay!"
"But before the practice starts, I want to know how far you have practiced." Magath asked.Based on his understanding of Rongguang, he felt that Rongguang must have started to practice heading during his own special training during the winter break, so he had to ask clearly, if Rongguang had been practicing for a while, he could bypass the most basic part, otherwise he would have to start from scratch.
"The technical movements of the header are almost practiced. Now I just practice jumping up and heading the ball." Rong Guang replied honestly.
"Hmm..." Magath nodded. "Then let's go straight to it and I'll throw the football at you with my hands and you jump up and head it and head the football at me."
He pointed to himself, and it was an exercise to head the ball from the front of the forehead.
"No problem!" Rong Guang was eager to try.
Because he has been practicing static headers before, that is, the football is suspended in the air, and then he jumps up to head the ball. This kind of header is not difficult at all. Later, he tried to move the football with his hands, and then jumped up to head the ball. But this is not too difficult, and it is far from the feeling of actual combat.
Now someone throws the football directly at him, and he can simulate a cross.
He wanted to test his header level in this training close to actual combat.
Magath retreated to the basket containing enough balls, about ten meters away from Rongguang, and then threw the football in his hand obliquely. There was almost no suspense about the football itself. It drew a parabola in the air and flew above Rongguang.
Seeing the football flying over, Rong Guang kept in mind the key points of the header that Klose told himself.
Keep your eyes on the football, judge in your mind where the football will fall, and then start running with your feet.
He only took one step, and realized that this place might be a better place, so he jumped on the spot and pulled the green onions from the dry land!
In the air, his body leaned back, as if the slingshot was charging, and when the football was about to fly in front of him, he slammed his body out again, rubbing his forehead against the football.
The moment he touched the football, Rong Guang stared and didn't let himself blink.
During the initial practice, Rong Guang always blinked involuntarily. This is a human instinct. It took him three days to overcome this instinct.
Now he can keep his eyes open the whole time.
※※※
When Magath saw Rong Guang's header, he admired in his heart: "The movement is quite standard! I don't know who I learned from..."
The football hit by Rong Guang flew towards him, he opened his hand and caught the football.
"There is a problem, Rong. You didn't grasp the timing of heading the ball very well. You exerted your strength too early, so when you headed the ball, your body protruded too far, which made you not fully exert your strength. Do you have this feeling yourself? It is that the football is pushed away by you before you exert all your strength?" He said to Rong Guang.
Rong Guang nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, coach. I actually rubbed my forehead just now, it's not considered a top. I'm too early."
Before jumping up on the spot to head the ball, the position of the football is fixed. As long as you stand in the right position, it is actually very good to head the ball.But this kind of football flying in the air is not so easy to handle. It is necessary to match the timing of your own take-off and force with the distance the football reaches.
"Well, it's okay, it's the first time. The purpose of training is to make you more proficient. You will find the feeling after practicing more. Come on, let's continue."
Magath threw the football over again with a good-natured countenance.
※※※
Although the assistant coach was supervising the players, the players were still a little absent-minded—they couldn't restrain their eyes from glancing at Rong Guang.
After seeing Rongguang and Magath's practice, I realized that it was the head coach who taught Rongguang to practice header.
Judging by his heading action, it is quite standard.It seems that Rongguang has been practicing by himself for a while.
Everyone thought of the extra training he gave himself during the winter break, maybe he was practicing header?
But... who did he learn from?
※※※
After half an hour of heading practice, Rong Guang gradually found the feeling of heading.
"That's right, you've made great progress, Rong. But heading the ball head-on is the easiest way. Tomorrow we'll practice heading the ball from the side." Magath threw the football into the basket next to him, and threw the whole basket full of footballs.
Rong Guang also came over to help pick up the football.
"But who did you learn your heading skills from?" Magath asked curiously.
"Milo." Rong Guang replied.
"Miroslav Klose?" Magath was a little surprised.
Rong Guang nodded.
Magath suddenly realized: "No wonder..."
Rong also found a good teacher to learn header from Klose. Klose's header technique is indeed the best among German forwards.
No wonder his actions are so standard.
