Golden Greenery

Zhuo Yang did not lie to Guardiola. The last time he played football was indeed at Real Madrid. Specifically, it was the match against Sevilla at La Liga Stadium in the 2014-15 season.

A fight ensued in that game, which became Zhuoyang's last game in Real Madrid.

From that day until the third round of the 2013 match between Manchester City and West Ham United, Zhuoyang met the home fans and kicked the football into the stands. In the past two years, he has indeed not touched football again, not even once.

This is not very accurate. After all, he had played in the Tang Yulin Guards in Chang'an City in the dream. But if we really care about it, it was more than 600 years ago.

Regardless of whether it's two years or six hundred years, Zhuoyang has never been away from football for such a long time since he was exposed to football at the age of four. Even two weeks is unimaginable.

It has been eight months since he woke up, and Zhuoyang's body functions have fully recovered. Just as the medical examination said - he is completely in the body of a 21-year-old. But healthy physical function is only the most basic condition for playing football, and it does not even count for entry.

Physical coordination, body reaction, adaptability in switching between anaerobic and aerobic, and most importantly, ball feel and game feeling, these cannot be achieved by relying on personal training, or the effect of personal training is not very good.

Therefore, after Zhuo Yang recovered from his body, he was not in a hurry to conduct football-related training. He knew that haste makes waste. Besides, after sleeping for more than a year and dreaming for six hundred years, there were too many things to deal with when he woke up. Football Can slow down.

Of course, Zhuoyang is just recovering, not starting from scratch. In his plan, he signs with the team and then follows the team to restore his football to its peak in half a year to a year.

The day after the match between Manchester City and West Ham United, Zhuoyang officially entered the training center.

He is the most special one. After having an in-depth conversation with Guardiola, he started special ball-feeling exercises based on the training guidance plan of assistant coach Mikel Arteta.

The 34-year-old Arteta is a famous Spanish football prodigal. As long as he is not in La Liga, he can play well anywhere.

As a player, Arteta was the captain of the Spanish U21 team, but he has never been called up by the Spanish adult national team in his career. With a British passport, he even wanted to play for England, but ultimately failed to meet FIFA's conditions and missed out on international competitions.

The friendship between Arteta and Guardiola started in Barcelona and lasted for a long time. Arteta was a mediocre midfielder in the B team. This summer, Arsenal captain Artate announced his retirement and joined Guardiola's Manchester City coaching staff the next day.

Arteta will guide Zhuoyang in ball sense recovery training.

It's also a very interesting thing.

At the end of 2004, Madiburg coach Jurgen Klopp suffered from the lack of a reliable substitute for the team's core Zhuo Yang, so he took a fancy to Arteta, who returned to Real Sociedad from Glasgow Rangers but was struggling.

That year, Real Madrid wanted Arteta to replace Alonso, who left for Liverpool. As a result, the Spaniard Arteta couldn't adapt to La Liga at all.

Although Arteta was just an unknown player at that time, he still didn't like Madibao. He moved to Everton in the winter, replacing Graveson who moved to Real Madrid.

It is not easy to be the captain of Arsenal. Starting from Vieira, he either defected or was sold off, as if he was cursed. After Thomas Vermaelen went to Barcelona in 2014, Arteta became the captain of Arsenal. He was not sold or defected, but he retired at the age of only 34.

This summer, many acquaintances of Zhuoyang chose to retire.

In 2011, no one thought that Miroslav Klose would play for six seasons at Lazio. In 2015-1, Ze completed 7 goals and 8 assists in Serie A, and then suddenly turned around and left.

Riise, Toni, Di Natale, Samuel, Milito, Vidic, Jenas, Antonini, Heitinga...

Some of them were born in their 70s or 80s, and some were younger than Arteta.

Younger than Kaka.

Kaka was still in the major league in Orlando City. After Zhuoyang expressed his intention to return to football, Kaka called and invited him to go to Orlando.

Milan's peerless twins seem very far away. They may still be able to impress Zhuo Yang, but they obviously shouldn't be in the United States. Zhuoyang told Kaka: I want to try the Premier League, will you come?

Kaka smiled happily on the other end of the phone and said, "Do a good job. I'll see you when I have time."

Kaka and Caroline's marriage changed in 2014, and they remarried in 2015. This year, they divorced again. In the past, Zhuo Yang would have muttered a few words, but now he still feels a little sorry for Kaka, but other people's love will no longer affect him.

.

Arteta's training is actually those things. Commonly known as the "hat dance" in the football industry, various stepping on the ball, single and double feet, inside and outside, various touches and pulls on the ball, triangle, V shape, yo-yo, front and back...

Zhuoyang knew this without him having to point him out. Arteta just strictly controlled the training time and intensity.

This is how the first day of ball training was spent.

When Guardiola was at Barcelona, ​​he invented a gamified 'three-person, two-legged' ball training. Specifically speaking, three people pass the ball to each other in the air. The football is not allowed to land, and the order of passing cannot be messed up. The most important thing is that you can only touch the ball with two feet, and each foot touches the ball once, for example, the left foot stops and the right foot comes out.

It sounds simple, but the threshold is two hundred...

When Zhuoyang was at Barcelona, ​​the striker "Zhumadian ZMD" Trident and Habaib monopolized this game and took turns winning the team championship. Later Guardiola brought this game to Bayern and now to Manchester City.

Zhuo Yang had never played it when he was at Real Madrid, and Zhuoyang felt familiar. So, on the second day after training resumed, he strongly requested to join. Guardiola rolled his eyes and asked him to form a team with Aguero and Sterling.

Let’s not talk about how we played, there are no fools here, everyone knows at this moment that Guashuai’s use of Zhuoyang must first be on the front line.

The whole body was affected by the move, some people breathed a sigh of relief, and some people raised their hearts in their throats.

Zhuoyang's resumption of training must be gradual. In fact, even if he does not play for half a season, it is expected by Manchester City. After all, as long as he joins, he has already stolen the limelight in football. What Manchester City needs first is his superstar effect.

According to the plan, if the recovery situation is ideal, Zhuoyang's participation will begin in mid-October, and will start from the reserve league, which is the U23 Premier League.

But plans can never keep up with changes. No one expected Zhuoyang's first game after his comeback to come so quickly.
