Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 219

Fernando Torres looked at Anton, who was waiting under the lamp at the door of his house, with a confused look on his face: "What wind brought you here?"

He hurriedly welcomed Anton in.Anton smiled as he entered the door: "Sorry for the interruption, I suddenly remembered something very important and wanted to ask you for confirmation. I just came here on my own initiative. Fernando, how are you recently?"

Torres nodded to Anton with a smile: Last time Anton pushed him and helped him make a decision. At the last moment of the transfer window, he decided to reject Chelsea and stay in Liverpool. Makes his teammates feel very gratified.

The current coach, Sir Dalglish, has a strong cohesive force. The Liverpool team is now reunited around him. The results in the league have improved greatly, and their schedule in the Europa League is also continuing.

Torres and Suarez, a Uruguayan who joined the new club, formed the "Double Si" combination to play double forwards. The two cooperated very tacitly.

Sometimes Torres would also imagine how glorious it would be if he really transferred to Chelsea with the "England's No. 5000" worth of [-] million pounds.But as long as he configured a few games in "Life in the Green" as Anton did at the time, Torres would understand.

After exchanging pleasantries, Torres invited Anton to sit down in his living room and make tea by himself.Anton asked behind him: "Fernando, I remember you started playing 'Life in the Green' after the knee injury operation!"

Torres boiled the water, put the tea bag in the cup, poured some milk, nodded and said, "Yeah, that's when we first met. I didn't even know that you were the one who hurt me." The opponent's head coach in that game, you brought your own mosaic as soon as you came out..."

Anton: Uh...it seems like a stone hit him in the foot.

He carefully avoided this sensitive topic: "Do you still remember the special feeling of training when you came back from injury?"

At this time, the water in the electric kettle had boiled, but Torres forgot to make tea. He stood alone in the kitchen and raised his neck to think about it. After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes...it seems a little different."

This is not the first time he has been injured in his career. Generally speaking, recovering from a serious injury is often accompanied by a period of downturn: basically it is a period of time without playing football, as if he can’t play, that feeling.

But not this time. He got the ball for the first time after entering the recovery period, and the feeling of running like the wind in the past immediately returned-as if he was born to play football.

Because of this, the Spanish center Torres, who was not very optimistic about many people, won the Golden Boot in the World Cup.

Torres told Anton honestly about his experience. After he finished speaking, Anton nodded and smiled, and asked him in turn: "Do you mind if I call someone else and ask about similar situations?"

Of course Torres didn't mind, Anton put his mobile phone on the dining table at Torres's house, turned on the speakerphone, and dialed Kaka's number.

It is very late now, Spain and England have a time difference of 1 hour, and Kaka will be later.But the daily routine of the Spanish people determined that Kaka should answer Anton's call at this time.

"Anton!" Sure enough, Kaka's voice sounded.

"Kaka," Anton first explained that he was with Torres, and then asked: "I remember that after the World Cup last year, you had surgery, and then you took a break to come back... I want to ask you, come back Do you have any special feeling when you are here? Something different from usual?"

In order to represent the national team in the World Cup, Kaka chose conservative treatment for his injury. It was not until after the World Cup that he underwent surgery and recuperated for a period of time.During that time, there were rumors that Real Madrid coach Mourinho wanted to abandon Kaka, but Kaka quickly gained the trust of Mourinho after his comeback, and the combination of "Capeiro" became the center of Real Madrid. Fixed attacking combination.

When Anton asked, Kaka was stunned for a moment, and said, "I thought it was just this time that I was very lucky..."

Anton guessed right. Kaka's comeback was unexpectedly smooth. According to Kaka's own statement, it seems that there is no "recovery period" at all. The sense of the ball and the skills of the ball seem to have not been lost at all, and they were taken over naturally.

On the phone side, Anton and Torres looked at each other, and both nodded: This is almost exactly the same as Torres' situation.

"Kaka, I remember you were also using 'Green Life' during the time you were convalescing your injuries?" Anton quickly got an affirmative answer.

The use of "Green Life" during the recovery period has become the common ground between the two. Does this mean that "Green Life" may be a sharp tool to help players recover?

Anton went on to say: "I have this experience myself..."

Kaka and Torres were concerned at the same time: "Have you been injured, Anton?"

"Not really," so Anton told the two the story after he came into contact with "Green Life": he, an ordinary person who had never received football training, could suddenly make moves on the training ground that only professional players could make. ; Good physical fitness is transformed into the foundation of football skills in a very short period of time.

Anton's situation is different from that of Torres and Kaka. He was not injured, but directly brought the skills he learned from "Life in the Green" to reality.

Kaka on the other end of the phone, and Torres on the other end of the dining table, were so shocked that they couldn't speak when they thought about it: Does this mean that they are also the same? Are your skills brought to reality?

"I'm thinking it's not impossible," Anton said. "Have you two ever heard of an implicit memory?—I think it's called... 'muscle memory'!"

Both of them are professional players, so of course it is clear: why every young player will have their coach ask them to repeat specific technical moves hundreds of times when they grow up? ——It is to consolidate muscle memory.

This is why some players inevitably decline after major injuries-the loss of muscle memory affects their skills to a large extent.

"So, for 'muscle memory', no matter in reality or in the virtual world, it is the same as our memory, and it is actually interoperable?" Kaka asked on the phone.

"I think it's very likely so." Anton said, "I'll confirm it with Professor Friedrich later, and see if he can dig out some ideas in this direction."

Still in a daze, Torres murmured, "It would be great if that were the case."

Injury is a stumbling block that threatens every player's career. With the development of modern sports rehabilitation medicine, the probability of injury recovery has been greatly improved, but the state of the player after recovery cannot be guaranteed, especially after a serious injury.There are even many very talented stars who can no longer return to their original state after a certain major injury, and just disappear from everyone.

From this point of view, Torres and Kaka are really lucky.

If, as Anton said, "Life in the Green Field" is so magical, then sports geniuses will no longer have to be so afraid of injuries.

"Thank you both, I should let you rest, lest your head coach come back to settle accounts with me." Anton stood up with a smile, said good night to Kaka, and hung up the phone.

Torres got up and sent Anton to the door.After Anton said goodbye to him, he turned and left. Torres could hear Anton holding the phone and saying hello to the person on the other end of the phone: "Professor... sorry to bother you, I really have an idea to ask you for confirmation..."

Watching Anton's leaving back, Torres opened his mouth, but retracted when the words reached his mouth.

Torres has been thinking in his heart: Muscle memory: Why do muscles have "memory"?At this moment, he is also a little guilty: If "Green Life" can even copy and create this kind of hidden "memory", then... what is real and what is virtual?

How can we prove that they are living in a real world?

Torres took a sip of hot tea and suddenly felt very sleepy—this sleepiness was so real that Torres closed the door and went to sleep with confidence.Who has the time to think about questions that can never be answered?

Anton walked briskly, and returned to the hotel where the team stayed. He had already received an answer from Professor Friedrich: Judging from the current case and the technology used by the access device, Anton's speculation is very likely to be true. of.

He left the hotel just now, asked Torres for confirmation, and left David Moyes, the big brother, behind in a hurry.Originally thought that Moyes should have left long ago, but when Anton returned to the hotel, he saw Moyes still waiting for him in the lobby.

Anton was taken aback, and hurried over to apologize to the other party. Not only did he leave Moyes on the spot, but Moyes even helped pay for the beer.

Unexpectedly, Moyes handed Anton a mobile phone and motioned Anton to answer it.Anton took over, and Sir Alex Fergus' English with a strong Scottish flavor rang out immediately.

Sir Alex Ferguson went to find Anton because of Rooney.Rooney was sidelined earlier today with an injury.The team doctor has just made a diagnosis and thinks it is a more serious knee injury, which may require a one-month absence, or even reimbursement for the entire season.

This is really a heavy blow to Manchester United, which has struggled for the championship with old noses.

Sir Alex Ferguson had heard that Torres' knee injury was recovering well, and that there was almost no need for a rehabilitation period after the injury, and he was recommended by Anton as a sports rehabilitation expert, so Ferguson put down his airs and asked his junior Moyes to find Anton late at night Ask him for help.

In other words, this is the second-ranked team in the standings, seeking help from an opponent who only surpassed itself in goals.

Sir Ferguson put down the phone, and said to his wife who had been by his side with a depressed face: "You said that I asked Anton for help to introduce a doctor, and besides agreeing to introduce a doctor, he also persuaded my players to play more games. What is this? reason?"

"Game, is it really that fun?"
