Green Field Eunuch

Chapter 479 He's such a lucky guy!

Physical fitness is a problem that professional football players must face.

In professional football players, physical training is often a more important training course than tactical training.

A football match lasts 90 minutes, but unlike a basketball game, there are no timeouts or substitutions.

Every player has limited stamina and cannot run the entire field. Players with good stamina can run more, while players with poor stamina should run less. Managing one's stamina is a lesson that every player must learn.

However, there is no doubt that players with better physical fitness have a significant advantage in a match.

Even if a player is technically weak, if they have excellent physical fitness, they will definitely have an advantage in the game.

For example, Gattuso at his peak, Milner at Manchester City, Kuyt at Liverpool, and Park Ji-sung at Manchester United, etc.

These individuals are all typical examples of people who possess outstanding physical abilities and have a significant advantage in the football world.

Even now, there are teams that maximize physical fitness and running, such as Borussia Dortmund, which is a team based on the team's excellent running and physical fitness.

Poor team physical fitness is also a typical example, such as the Chinese national football team...

The price is that the Chinese national football team often experiences those disastrous "black X minutes," which are problems caused by insufficient physical strength in the end.

However, most players can't actually do what Gattuso and Kuyt did, because everyone has different physical talents.

Therefore, on the court, you must learn to control your physical energy, do more effective running and less ineffective running, so that your physical energy can keep up when you explode, and you won't run too little and drag down your offense and defense.

This is a required course for every player.

Shan Yongzhuo has always been considered a "master of physical fitness control". When he entered professional football, Shan Yongzhuo's physical fitness was actually very poor, and the points he could obtain were limited, so he could not add a lot to his endurance.

Therefore, from his debut until now, the most direct impression Shan Yongzhuo gives people is that he absolutely does not run most of the time, but when the opportunity arises, he will never be stingy with his physical strength.

This allowed him to score so many goals with minimal running in the early stages of his career, and thus he wasn't criticized for running as little as Berbatov. Instead, he was hailed as a master of physical fitness and a striker with unparalleled ability to seize opportunities.

However, Shan Yongzhuo himself knows his own problem: his physical fitness is too poor, and he may not be able to last the whole game.

Later on, as their physical fitness improved, it was simply because they had gotten used to the way they played, or to put it bluntly, they just became lazy.

The game is now completely different.

Dan Yongzhuo kept running, running nonstop, as if he never got tired, and many people off the field noticed this.

The commentator also raised this issue: "Looking at it today, Shan Yongzhuo is definitely different. He's almost constantly running, it seems like you can see him all over the attacking third. Maybe he should pay attention to his physical condition..."

"After all, it's only the first half. If this continues, he definitely won't be able to play the whole game."

On the sidelines, Guardiola also seemed somewhat puzzled.

He knew Shan Yongzhuo and could tell that Shan Yongzhuo's physical condition was actually very good, even ranking among the best in the team. He was only slightly inferior to Milner and Yaya Toure, but compared to Aguero and Silva, he was definitely a physical monster.

So, the only explanation for Shan Yongzhuo's previous average running distance of around 2000 meters on the field is that his ability to seize opportunities was so strong that it made him very lazy.

But now...

Guardiola is quite satisfied with Shan Yongzhuo's change in attitude. Although he doesn't seem to know how to control his physical strength yet, it's always a good start, isn't it?

He checked the time; the race had been going on for 29 minutes. Considering the frequency of running and sprinting, his stamina couldn't be said to be completely depleted, but his legs were definitely getting tired.

"Dan is still persisting."

"This shows that my persuasion worked. He will become a player like Messi in the future, not only able to score goals himself, but also able to connect the whole team through his performance!"

"As expected, I, Josep Guardiola, am still the world's number one coach. Even a lazy and stubborn player like him was eventually persuaded by me!"

Guardiola, while feeling proud of himself, glanced at the time. Although satisfied, he was still a little worried about Shan Yongzhuo's stamina. On the field...

Heitinga really couldn't keep up anymore.

The match only lasted 30 minutes, but he felt like he had experienced a whole match.

Defending against someone always takes more effort than defending against them.

Then, when Manchester City launched another attack, he lost track of Shan Yongzhuo again.

Dan Yongzhuo received the ball on the left and then launched a sprint, leaving Heitinga completely behind.

Actually, Shan Yongzhuo's physical strength has also been greatly depleted by now, but it's much better than Heitinga's.

He was actually somewhat testing his physical abilities during the competition.

Heitinga was left behind, and Shan Yongzhuo rushed to the edge of the penalty area. Then, Distin abandoned Aguero and came over from the penalty area line.

As a result, the tall and slow Distin had no way to deal with Shan Yongzhuo, who simply changed direction and got past him.

immediately.

He takes a shot.

When positioned close to the penalty area line, Shan Yongzhuo's shooting accuracy is even higher than that of a penalty kick. Even while dribbling forward, his shots remain incredibly accurate, sending the ball straight into the corner of the goal like a cannonball.

"GOOOOOOAL!"

"The ball went in again!"

"In the 32nd minute of the match, Shan Yongzhuo broke through Everton's goal again with a personal breakthrough, making the score 2-0!"

"Shan Yongzhuo dominated the first half with a perfect individual performance, and Everton had no way to deal with him!"

"In past matches, Shan Yongzhuo's performance can be described as perfect. He was constantly running and disrupting Everton's defense..."

The commentators sighed, while inside Goodison Park, Manchester City fans cheered and celebrated, while Everton players groaned in frustration.

Meanwhile, Ferguson, watching on television, was also extremely frustrated.

Before the match, he boasted that Everton could stop Manchester City, make the game difficult, and give Manchester City their toughest match at Goodison Park.

But now, the slap in the face has come so quickly that Ferguson can only do nothing about it.

However, the old man no longer cared about it, since Shan Yongzhuo had been proven wrong more than once or twice since he came to the Premier League.

Fortunately, he's about to retire.

At least, he won't have to face Shan Yongzhuo anymore.

However, he also felt a little regretful.

Next season, Moyes will take over Manchester United, but according to inside sources, Shan Yongzhuo will be going to La Liga next season.

Without Shan Yongzhuo, Ferguson believed that Manchester City would never be a match for Manchester United again, even with Guardiola.

Therefore, Moyes faced a very favorable situation when he went to Manchester United.

"David, he's such a lucky guy!"
