After the morning training, Zhao Kangming and his colleagues on the coaching staff left the training ground. They had to go back to the office to summarize the training and prepare for the afternoon training. Today, Wednesday, is the only time in the week that
Two training days a day is also the most intensive training day of the week.
On the way back to the office, assistant coach Chen Mo asked Zhao Kangming: "How is it, Lao Zhao, are you satisfied with Hu Lai's performance?"
Two days ago, Zhao Kangming found him and asked him to modify the content of today's training. Originally, there was no offensive training with the ball in the form of forwards and midfielders today.
Chen Mo didn't understand why Zhao Kangming did this at first. After watching the training today, he figured out that Zhao wanted to see Hu Lai's current level and condition.
After all, no matter how well I knew Hu Lai before, it was only half a year ago. After Lao Zhao and him left one after another, Hu Lai persisted alone for several months. During these few months, the world he was in
The environment is very harsh. Has this harsh environment affected his training status?
This is something that both Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo are concerned about.
Zhao Kangming smiled: "Satisfied. This guy has a good attitude. You don't know it, Old Chen. He even joked with me on the way to the locker room..."
"I'm not surprised at all." Chen Mo said, "Hu Lai is such a person."
As Hu Lai's head coach in the Poseidon youth team, Chen Mo naturally knows Hu Lai's character very well.
"Yes, this is what shows that he has a good mentality. I was really worried that this transfer would make him uncomfortable. Now it seems that I am overthinking..."
"It depends on how he gets along with his new teammates..." Chen Mo said.
"I think it shouldn't be a big problem." Zhao Kangming pondered. "I have learned that Wang Guangwei and Hu Lai in the team seem to know each other. He can help Hu Lai integrate into the team."
"Wang Guangwei?" Chen Mo thought of Wang Guangwei's appearance. His calm look was indeed quite reliable...
He nodded.
※※※
After the morning training, Hu Lai followed his teammates back to the locker room.
Wang Guangwei came up and said, "Let's have dinner together?"
He extended an invitation to Hu Lai.
"Okay! It just so happens that I don't know where the restaurant is yet." Hu Lai readily agreed.
So after the two of them took a shower and changed their clothes, they walked towards the restaurant together.
The restaurant is actually in a building at the south gate of the training base, not far away, but Wang Guangwei still walked all the way to introduce Hu Lai to the situation in the training base.
"The gym is in the building where our locker room is, did you see that?"
Hu Lai nodded: "I saw it."
Wang Guangwei turned to look at Hu Lai and found that he was stronger than what he had seen in the Anton Cup competition.
But only a few.
He was a little curious: "Have you never practiced strength in Poseidon before?"
"I have practiced, but the effect is average. Director Zhao said that I am not naturally a powerful player and asked me not to spend too much time on improving my strength. Of course, if I must practice, it is not impossible to practice, but I have to Build muscle first, otherwise it will affect my physical mobility..." Hu Lai looked at Wang Guangwei, who was much stronger than when he competed in the Anton Cup finals, "You have achieved remarkable results."
Wang Guangwei smiled and said: "Our positions are different. The center back has higher physical requirements, the forward has a different style and focus, and you are not a tank-type forward... This is the dormitory building of the youth team. "Behind the dormitory building is the youth team training ground. I first stayed here and trained here."
Wang Guangwei pointed to a small building on the left and introduced.
Seeing Hu Lai's gaze, he asked again: "Is Poseidon's youth training camp more advanced than Flash Star's?"
Hu Lai nodded: "The scale is larger than that of Flashing Star. Poseidon really pays more attention to youth training."
Before transferring here, he had always lived in the dormitory building of the youth training camp. In fact, he didn't know much about the city of Lingnan. He rarely left the training base unless the Chu team asked him to go out to play.
Looking at Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei suddenly said: "If I hadn't lost to you in the final that year, I should have gone to the Chinese Super League team..."
Hu Lai crossed his hands in front of him: "Brother, I really didn't expect that we could be on the same team in the future..."
Seeing him like this, Wang Guangwei laughed: "What are you doing? Do you think I will seek revenge on you?"
"We were each our own masters at that time..."
Wang Guangwei smiled and shook his head: "I'm not complaining. In fact, I just feel lucky that I didn't go to the Chinese Super League team. Otherwise, I might not be able to play in the first team now. The midfield team sounds very scary. But when it comes to giving opportunities to young players, I think Flashing Star is better."
Seeing Wang Guangwei say this, Hu Lai breathed a sigh of relief, put down the arm in front of him, and then smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I have been playing for the Poseidon Youth Team for so long, and even the first team locker room I don’t even know which way the door opens..."
"That's the south gate of the training base over there. In fact, I usually enter and exit the training base through this gate and almost never go through the main entrance." Wang Guangwei continued to introduce Hu Lai like a tour guide.
"Why?"
"Because the south gate is closer to the No. 12 bus station. I take this bus to train every day."
"Take the bus? Don't you have a car?" Hu Lai was a little surprised. When he was in the Poseidon Youth Team, he had seen some youth team players driving their cars to train. Unexpectedly, Wang Guangwei, who had been to the professional team for a long time, actually arrived. Now I still take the bus to work at the training base...
"Do you have a car?" Seeing Hu Lai's natural look, Wang Guangwei asked.
"Of course I do!"
Hu Lai's answer surprised Wang Guangwei: "What car?"
"That's a lot!" Hu Lai said proudly: "The little yellow car, the little blue car, the little orange car, the little white car, the little green car... I tell you that I change a color every day, and I can change it for a week.
Same thing!"
Wang Guangwei was speechless: "Bike sharing!"
"Why do you have such an expression? Do you look down on the concept of green, environmentally friendly and low-carbon travel?"
"What the hell!" Wang Guangwei discovered that after so many years, Hu Lai was still so stubborn... Shouldn't this kid be an adult?
At the same time, he found that after all this time, he still felt powerless when facing Hu Lai... For example, now, he had to explain: "The house I rent is only eight stops away from here, and the training time and the peak work hours are also staggered.
.Taking the bus is very convenient, and it is also a green, environmentally friendly and low-carbon travel.”
Hu Lai has nothing to say. Taking the bus is indeed a green, environmentally friendly and low-carbon way of travel, especially now that many buses are electric...
"Are you staying in a hotel now?" Wang Guangwei asked again.
Hu Lai nodded.
"You can't always stay in a hotel, right?"
"Will there be rental subsidies in Shining Star?" Hu Lai asked first without answering this question.
"No." Wang Guangwei shook his head and said, "The money for your stay in the hotel is not unlimited. You will be asked to move out in a month at most."
Hu Lai frowned when he heard this.
Seeing this, Wang Guangwei asked: "How much allowance does the Poseidon Youth Team give you per month?"
"One thousand a month. If there is a game, the main players will get another 700 subsidy for each game, and those who come on as substitutes will get 300. If they don't play, they won't get a penny." Hu Lai said.
"More than when I was in the Flash Star Youth Team..." Wang Guangwei nodded.
"After all, it is a Chinese Super League club," Hu Lai said.
Wang Guangwei thought that after all, he was still a local in Jincheng and had relatively less expenses. Hu Lai was living alone in Lingnan, so he could understand why Hu Lai frowned when he heard that the club did not provide rental subsidies.
.
Although Hu Lai has signed a professional contract with the club, he can't get the money right away, and the salary can't be very high. After all, he only gets 10,000 yuan a month from the club, before tax.
.Presumably Hu Lai’s salary cannot be higher than mine.
After paying taxes, you have a salary of several thousand yuan, which you need to rent a house, eat, and live...
Many people think that professional players are very profitable, but it is the same in all industries. The most profitable people are always those at the top of the pyramid. Professional players at the bottom, who account for a huge proportion, actually do not earn much, and some are not even as good as ordinary white-collar workers.
.
Of course, when you are around 20 years old, you can earn several thousand dollars more per month. You cannot be considered poor by any means. You are already much better than many of your peers.
"If you want to rent a house... I happen to be renting a two-bedroom house now, and one room is vacant. How about you come and live in it, and we can share the rent and share the rent?" Wang Guangwei asked tentatively.
road.
When Hu Lai heard what he said, his eyes lit up: "Okay, no problem! We'll split the rent, water, electricity, and electricity in half!"
At first, I said I wanted to make a lot of money and help my family pay off the foreign debt of 350,000 yuan as soon as possible. However, the money I spent in the youth team was only enough for my personal expenses, let alone 350,000 yuan. Even the 50,000 yuan from Fatty Song
He still hasn't paid it back...
Now that Wang Guangwei has proposed sharing the apartment, how can Hu Lai refuse?
Of course, with the idea of saving every penny, I agreed immediately.
While talking, the two of them had already walked to the door of the restaurant, a three-story building.
"There is a restaurant on the first floor. I also ate here when I was in the youth team, but the youth team had to wait until the first team finished eating before they could use the restaurant." Wang Guangwei said as he led Hu Lai towards the door of the restaurant.
"We still have to wait for the first team to finish their meal?" Hu Lai was a little surprised. "There is a two-story restaurant over there at Poseidon. The first floor is dedicated to the echelon, and the second floor is for the first team. The stairs are all outside, and there is no interaction between them.
Don’t interfere.”
"Poseidon is a Chinese Super League club, and it is richer than Flash Star." Wang Guangwei was not surprised. "And except for different meal times, everything else is the same here at Flash Star. The food standard is three meals a day and one hundred and fifty."
"Hey, the menu is pretty good. Poseidon only costs 200... holy shit, it tastes so good!"
Just as he walked to the door, Hu Lai took a deep breath and smelled the aroma wafting from the restaurant.
Wang Guangwei laughed: "Do you smell the food from home? The chefs in the club canteen are very good at it."
He took Hu Lai into the restaurant. From Hu Lai's point of view, this restaurant was smaller than Poseidon's restaurant, but although the sparrow was small, it had all the necessary features.
The kitchen operation room is directly opposite the door, separated from the dining area by transparent glass, so that people can see the scene inside at a glance. This is a way to have confidence in the hygiene of your own kitchen and the chefs.
In the area between the kitchen operation room and the door is the self-service dining table. The aroma comes from the dinner plates with lids opened above.
Before them, there were already players from the first team taking food at the dining table.
Hu Lai followed Wang Guangwei to get the dinner plate at the door, queued up to get the food, and at the same time stretched his neck to look over one by one to see what dishes were on offer.
Well, beef stew with potatoes, mapo tofu, steamed sea bass, boiled shrimp, spicy chicken nuggets, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, shredded potatoes in vinegar, radish and oxtail soup, seven vegetables and one soup. There are also vegetable salads and fruit salads, and the staple food is
White rice, steamed buns and noodles.
In addition, there are also freshly squeezed juices, coffee, yogurt and other drinks.
The alluring fragrance made Hu Lai swallow, and he felt hungry.
The amount of training on Wednesday was indeed the largest of the week. The morning training lasted 100 minutes, and the training intensity was greater than when Hu Lai was in the Poseidon Youth Team. Therefore, he had already consumed all the breakfast he had in the hotel.
To say I'm hungry now is an understatement.
In fact, before becoming a professional player, Hu Lai, a fan, only had some vague and general understanding of what professional players eat. He thought that professional players only eat boiled chicken breast, steak, mashed potatoes, and broccoli every day.
But since he went to the Poseidon Youth Team, he discovered that at least in Chinese football, food is not as strict as the legend says. Even the players of the first team of the Chinese Super League also eat home-cooked food, but they have completely abandoned pork.
That’s it, the diet is mainly high in protein.
Moreover, catering suppliers for clubs in different regions will also consider local characteristics. For example, the Poseidon Club he went to has a lot of seafood and a light taste, which is in line with local tastes. It is said that the food in the club restaurants over Shanhai is on the sweet side, Hu Lai
After thinking about it, if boiled beef was all sweet, he really didn't know how to eat such "dark cuisine"...
After he came to Flashing Star, the food here seemed to be on the heavy side, spicy and spicy. The difference between the beef and potato dish in Flashing Star and Poseidon's restaurant was that the dish was roasted with potatoes in Flashing Star.
The beef is reddish in color, and a lot of chili and bean paste are added. The braised beef with potatoes at Poseidon's side looks lighter, and the chili is more symbolic...
Of course, the two clubs are not all locals. In order to cater to the tastes of other locals, there will also be some non-local dishes. For example, if you can't eat spicy food, the steamed sea bass is not spicy at all.
While choosing dishes, Hu Lai praised: "It's really good. You are right, Lao Wang. The food in Flashing Star is really good. It is not inferior to the Chinese Super League team! I'll tell you the truth. After one and a half years at Poseidon,
When I eat, I always feel like a bird is floating in my mouth..."
Wang Guangwei: "It's a good thing you're not going to Green Athletic."
"Green Athletics? What is that?"
"A League Two team."
"Why do you know a League Two team?" Hu Lai was very surprised.
"Some time ago, a self-media marketing account on the Internet forwarded news about this team, saying that the club owner is an environmentalist and advocates vegetarianism. At his request, the club restaurant only provides vegetarian food, without meat, eggs, or milk."
Wang Guangwei said.
Hu Lai's eyes widened: "Are you sick? Are they thinking about grass? Professional players don't eat meat, eggs and milk, how can they get the strength to train and play games? Do you really think you are all Popeye? No wonder they can only
Where is Ying Yi..."
Having said this, Hu Lai scooped an extra spoonful of beef onto his plate.
After choosing the dishes, Wang Guangwei did not take Hu Lai to sit alone, but took him to a round table where several people were already dining. When they saw Wang Guangwei and Hu Lai, they waved to them.
Hu Lai knew that Wang Guangwei did this so that he could become familiar with his new teammates as much as possible, so he sat down with Wang Guangwei with a smile.
After a quick glance, Hu Lai ranked these faces one by one based on the information introduced by the previous captain Li Tielin.
There are the team's goalkeepers Yu Zhiming and Tang Xin, defenders Han Di and Zhang Xiaolei, and midfielders Han Xiangfei, Ma Wenyi and Leng Jinyu.
As soon as he sat down, Hu Lai hurriedly handed over to everyone: "Hello, brothers, I am new here, please take care of me in the future!"
Hearing what he said, the others quickly waved their hands: "Stop saying that. From now on, everyone will be teammates and take care of each other."
"Yes, yes, take care of each other, take care of each other!"
Wang Guangwei quietly observed the reactions of his teammates and found that when they said this, the smiles on their faces were not as stiff and perfunctory as they were in the locker room.
It can be seen that Hu Lai's method of carrying people in a sedan chair has indeed made many people have a good impression of him...
He was previously worried that Hu Lai would not be able to integrate into the team and would not get along well with his new teammates.
Now it seems like, how could this kid have such a problem?
