Then, all the work began to be carried out in an orderly manner.

Inzaghi first took the players to do some simple recovery training, while Nagelsmann provided Pintus with various data and information collected in previous training and games.

When Pintus saw the detailed information in front of him, his eyes were brighter than his bald head.

"So professional! It turns out that you are already using various smart devices to monitor player data?" Pintus sighed, "Then I really came to the right place. My scientific training method has finally been put to real use.

It’s over!”

With these data reports, Pintus can of course get twice the result with half the effort in understanding the situation of Hamburg players.

In fact, it only took him two days to figure out the general physical condition of all the first-team players.

Then, he began to divide the players into multiple different groups based on their differences in position, role, and tactical role, and develop different training plans for each group.

On the fourth day, Hamburg's players began to "enjoy" the devilish training brought by the world's number one physical fitness coach.

Because no matter what group they are in, no matter what kind of training plan they are, most of their differences are in some differences in training methods, but they all have one thing in common: the training volume is super large!

What is the concept of this big thing?

For example, the most physically fit player on the team is captain Westerman, and he can't even stand it.

The physical training Pintus arranged for him today was something called "hypoxic mask training method".

The mask has an air intake regulator that measures heart rate, pulse per minute, each player's aerobic capacity at peak performance, and more.

The material of the design mask is neoprene, which can be adjusted according to the athlete's head, absorbs sweat and is easy to clean.

Its fixing is also very simple, just tie it with Velcro on the back - of course, in the future, a tablet can be placed on the back to display data more conveniently, but it is not so advanced at this time.

Pan Yi had already purchased these equipment according to Pintus' needs before he officially joined Hamburg.

Specifically, during the test, the players were asked to run back and forth at high speed until the requirements were met.

This is a method of simulating high-intensity matches that push players to their physical limits to assess each player's physical performance.

But Westermann was already out of breath before he had even run a few times.

"This... this training is too outrageous, it's impossible to complete!" Westerman waved his hands heavily and complained.

"Really?" Pintus smiled, then began to put the equipment on his body, and then began to sprint with all his strength.

One round trip, two round trips, three...

Everyone was dumbfounded.

This is a fifty-year-old man!

Is it really possible?

It seems that to this lunatic-like physical coach, you really can't say anything like "you can do it"...

Because he is really good and really good!

As a result, Westerman had nothing to say, and all the players were convinced and obediently trained according to the plan formulated by Pintus.

We are all professional players in their twenties, so there is no reason why we should lose to a little old man, right?

And as the days passed, everyone admired Pintus even more.

He is very "cruel" to his players, even to himself.

Every morning Pintus would arrive at the Hamburg training ground a little early, park his car and start running around the streets of the training ground.

The distance of this circle is approximately 9 kilometers.

In other words, he had to run these 9 kilometers every day before starting to "torture" the Hamburg players.

In daily physical training, Pintus has always instilled into the players the concept of "strong dialogue, the one who can run wins", and gradually increased the training intensity based on the players' current physical reserves.

At the beginning, everyone was a little uncomfortable, and some even practiced until they shed tears and vomited - such as Wu Lei, Lin Zhijian and others who have physical difficulties.

However, everyone persisted in the end!

Because everyone gradually began to believe that this physical fitness coach Pan Yi had specially recruited from Italy had something up his sleeve!

After all, you know your own body best. After this period of time, everyone obviously feels that good changes are happening!

Of course, they had no way to express their dissatisfaction with Pintus.

Because this bald old man always leads by example and always runs first in the team!

As for Pan Yi, he has never been too involved in the team's daily training. Of course, Pintus, whom he trusts the most, is allowed to do it.

Pan Yi knew that this would be a process that was bitter first and then sweet.

The physical reserves in the early stage will definitely be very difficult; but in the middle and late stages of the season, Pintus' devilish training method will make Hamburg burst out with powerful energy!

Just like Pan Yi's previous life from 2016 to 2018, Pintus trained Real Madrid stars until they cried and vomited. However, after hard training, running ability was enhanced and muscle injuries were reduced.

After hard training, the physical fitness of the Real Madrid team has greatly improved, and they have become one of the teams with the best running ability and the fewest muscle injuries in Europe.

In the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons, Real Madrid, which had constant reversals and was addicted to winning matches, also won consecutive Champions League titles.

After Pintus left Real Madrid to join Inter Milan, Inter Milan immediately became the team with the fewest muscle injuries in Serie A and the most points in the second half.

Abundant physical fitness is the cornerstone for Inter Milan to win the Serie A championship in the 2020-21 season.

So Pan Yi has reason to believe that Hamburg will become such a tough team under Pintus' devilish training!

Of course, Pan Yi himself was a little lucky.

That is, after traveling through time, he became a coach, not a player.

He doesn't want to be like those poor players who are tortured to the point of spitting out their tongues and exhausted every day...

…

Almost 10 days later, Hamburg ushered in a warm-up match at home against the Austrian team Vienna.

The opponent was not strong, but Hamburg performed well. In the end, Sun Xingmin and Wu Lei scored a goal in the first and second half to defeat the opponent 2:0.

This victory is nothing, and Pan Yi won't take it seriously.

But what pleased Pan Yi was that Wu Lei was obviously in good physical condition in this game. He started and played the entire game, and the goal was scored after 85 minutes by a long-distance traveler.

This fully shows that Pintus' physical training has had a positive effect.

In this warm-up match, Pan Yi also asked new players Robertson and Paulinho to play for half a game each to run in with their teammates in actual combat.

Pan Yi was also satisfied with the result.

Especially Paulinho, he seems to be able to plug and play and quickly integrated into Hamburg's tactical system.

When partnering with Casemiro as a defensive midfielder, the two cooperated very well, and their defense was flawless. Paulinho even used a forward opportunity to send a through ball, assisting Son Heung-min to score a shot.

Robertson, perhaps because he is still relatively young, seems a bit reserved on the court.

But he still showed strong running ability, fast speed, and stable passing. He was also meticulous in defense and could complete the tasks assigned to him by the coach.

The abilities of the two new players were quickly recognized by their teammates. During this time, everyone has become close, like they have been friends for many years.

After the game, Pintus readjusted the training plan based on the players' physical consumption during the game.

This physical training master is like this. He will make fine adjustments at any time according to the actual situation. After all, training, competition, and recovery are all indispensable.

Then through constant adjustments like this, the team's overall condition will slowly reach its peak.

Pan Yi understands that the ups and downs of players' status are objective and cannot be changed.

The coaching staff, including the physical coach, is to adjust the players' condition as much as possible on the premise of following the objective laws of the human body, or in other words, to allow good conditions to appear in the game.

Now with Pintus, it is obvious that such a goal is easier to achieve.

…

During this period of training and warm-up matches, Hamburg also received some formal offers for players on the team.

Not only against main players such as De Bruyne and Son Heung-min who performed well.

Players like Janssen and Mancion who currently have relatively few playing opportunities in the Hamburg team have also been put forward by some teams for trade demands.

But Pan Yi rejected them all and only agreed to loan midfielder Tescher to Dusseldorf.

This is mainly because the current defensive midfielder position is indeed a bit overstaffed. Hasebe Makoto, Jacopo Sala, Shelbrae, including captain Westerman are all ahead of him in the starting order. Teshe is really playing

Not available.

But Pan Yi still didn't sell him, and even added a clause that could terminate the lease at any time.

Although Hamburg's current lineup has improved in thickness, it is not yet rich enough to let people go at will.

25 first-team players is a lot less, but it’s really not a lot.

At the end of the season, if there is any injury or shortage of players, the coach will be in pain.

So just in case, Pan Yi didn't sell anyone.

When the season ends and the summer transfer window opens, Pan Yi can replenish his staff in the transfer market and then consider trading out some players who cannot play. This will be good for all parties.

Now, Pan Yi spends more time preparing for war.

That's because the second half of the Bundesliga season is about to begin!
Chapter completed!
