Entering the training base and coming to the locker room, as expected, apart from the equipment manager Pressman, Willard was the first player to arrive.
Seeing Willard, Pressman said in surprise: "So early, Willard? I heard that your parents passed away. Are you okay?"
Willard said: "It's okay, it's over."
Pressman nodded: "Come on, try to play more games this season."
"Thanks!"
After saying thank you, Villard went to his wardrobe No. 33, took out his training clothes and changed into them. Then he said goodbye to Pressman, came to the training ground, and jogged to warm up.
More than half an hour later, teammates, coaches, team doctors, etc. arrived one after another. Teammates who were familiar with Willard also expressed their condolences for the unexpected death of his parents.
Near 9:30, assistant coach Andres Yalin called everyone to assemble, and then head coach Mario Binco did the mobilization for the start of the new season.
"Good morning everyone, the World Cup is over. Although it is a pity that Argentina did not win the championship, life still has to go on."
"The new season is about to start, and today is our first day of training."
"This season lasts only half a year. There are 11 teams in each group. There are only 22 league rounds in total, and there are still 2 byes. In fact, there are only 20 league games, but each group has 5 promotion places."
"I have made a promise to the chairman that if this fails to promote me to the first class, I will automatically dismiss get out of class."
"So, this season, I hope everyone will do their best and go all out to hit the A-League. Whoever falls behind will sit on the bench or even report to the reserve team."
"I'm not kidding, I'm putting my job on the line."
"There are more than 30 people in the first team, and I don't mind laying off a few."
"However, today is the first day of training for the new season. There will be no difficult training. Everyone will go to the infirmary for a simple physical examination first, and then come back to focus on restorative training."
"In addition, some players left during this holiday, and a few new players also joined. Let's get to know each other."
Then, Mario Binco called several newly joined players to the front individually and asked them to introduce themselves to everyone.
After finishing, everyone went to the infirmary for a simple physical examination, measuring height, weight, heart rate, blood pressure, etc., which was a bit perfunctory. After all, it's just a second-division team, not a star in the first-division league, and not as rich as a European team, so it's a bit of a formality.
After the physical examination, I returned to the training ground and began recovery training under the arrangements of the assistant coach and physical coach.
Alan Willard is very motivated and has a very correct attitude. He works very seriously on any project and never cares about it at all. Not only because he became a professional player for the first time after his rebirth, and participated in the training of a professional team for the first time, which felt fresh, but also because he had a system by his side and knew that he could succeed, so he had hope and hope.
Willard's mental age has long passed his thirties, and his concentration is very different from that of the original host.
The first day of training was mainly physical recovery training, without much technical ball training. Even so, the content is rich.
Professional, it’s just different.
Although these things were all in the memory of the original owner, Willard experienced them personally and found them quite fresh and rewarding.
After the afternoon training, Willard was still wondering why the system did not issue training experience. It wasn't until he returned home, finished washing up and lay down on bed to go to sleep that the system's electronic sound rang in his mind: "The host's training evaluation today is C level, and he has gained 2000 experience points. The current experience level 0 is 2000/10,000, please host keep it up."
Willard was surprised and asked carefully. This time the system finally revealed more content.
It turns out that the training experience he gains every day is not fixed. The system will rate the host according to the host's performance and training effect, divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. A-level experience is 5,000, B-level experience is 3,000, C-level experience is 2,000, and D-level experience is 1,000.
As for the specific performance and level, the system did not tell him, leaving it to Velarde to figure it out on his own.
Anyway, Willard was very serious about today's training, but he only received a C-level evaluation and only 2,000 experience points. Moreover, the system did not give a rating or issue experience until he lay down in bed and was about to go to sleep.
Willard thought about it and had some rough guesses in his mind, but he still needed to verify them with actual actions.
The next day, Willard got up earlier and did not eat breakfast at home. Instead, he took a car directly to the training base. Then he ate a free but bad-tasting nutritional breakfast for athletes in the base restaurant, and then trained on his own for more than an hour. Coaches and teammates arrived one after another.
After the afternoon training, Willard did not go home immediately for dinner. Instead, he had a free nutritious dinner in the base restaurant, and then practiced on his own for more than three hours until the last bus was about to leave. Willard just finished the extra training and left the base to go home.
When he got home, Willard collapsed directly on the sofa, not wanting to move.
My sister Krisna sat next to me and asked with concern: "Brother, why did you come back so late today and why are you so tired?"
Willard gasped and said, "I'm doing extra training by myself today."
Krisna said worriedly: "Don't work so hard, or you may get injured. Now you are my only relative, and I don't want anything to happen to you."
Willard nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will pay attention."
That night, when Willard was about to go to sleep, the system announced: "The host's training evaluation today is B level, and he has gained 3,000 experience points. The current experience level 0 is 5,000/10,000. Please continue to work hard."
When he heard that today's training results changed from C level to B level, Willard felt happy. It seemed that he had found a way to improve his daily training experience.
However, just B level cannot satisfy him. What he wants is A level every day. And this may not be achieved by simply piling up time and practicing hard.
So, after the training on the afternoon of July 17, Willard took the initiative to find the head coach and said: "Boss, I want to practice for a while every day to improve my strength. But what content should be practiced, to what extent, and every day The coaching staff needs to give guidance on how much additional training time is appropriate.”
Mario Binco already knew from the equipment manager Pressman that Allen Willard came early and left late these two days to practice extra on his own.
South American players generally have poor discipline, and it is common for them to be late, leave early, drink, and go out in bars. Alan Willard's serious and hard-working attitude is relatively rare, and it is also something Mario Binco appreciates.
Therefore, Mario Binco did not refuse Willard’s request for the coaching staff to tailor an additional training plan for him, but agreed, saying that he and the coaching staff would base it on Willard’s actual situation. Help him formulate an additional training plan within the next day or two.
That night, Willard stayed for additional training and did not leave until he was exhausted. Also practicing with him are two of his team friends, 21-year-old forward Dalia and 22-year-old defender Bonnie Fashaw. They are also marginal substitutes and rarely get playing opportunities. They are also about the same age. , so the relationship between the three is the best.
When they finally left, Dalia and Bonnie Fashaw both shouted that they were tired and couldn't bear the food.
It's not that Willard is not tired, but he has a mental age of 36. He knows how rare the opportunity to suddenly live his life again and be 15 years younger is, and he must cherish it.
Most ordinary people have no chance even if they want to work hard. They can't find a career worth working hard for throughout their lives. However, the harder they work, the faster they die.
Therefore, he told Dalia and Bonny Fashaw: "If we don't work hard, even if the team is promoted to the A-League, we will be sold and we will not be able to play in the A-League and become stars."
Dalia and Bonnie Fashaw heard this and had tangled expressions on their faces, but they finally decided to come early the next day and practice extra with Velarde. After all, they also want to play in the A-League.
When I got home, I saw my brother who was so tired that he collapsed on the sofa again. My sister Krisna said heartbrokenly: "Brother, this won't work, you will hurt your body!"
Willard waved his hand and said: "I have been practicing blindly for the past two days. I don't know how long I should practice for, so I am back now. However, I have told the head coach, and he promised to do it based on my actual situation. Help me make an additional training plan, and I will be more efficient by then, and I guess I won’t have to practice so late.”
Krisna relaxed slightly and nodded: "That's good. No matter what, I hope you stay healthy and don't get hurt."
Willard nodded and calmed down for a while before getting up to wash up and go to sleep.
On this day of training, Willard gained another 3,000 experience points with a B-level rating, and the experience level rose to level 0, 8,000/10,000. If you train for another day tomorrow, you will be able to level up and get the first upgrade reward.
On the morning of July 18, Dalia and Bonnie Fashaw did not miss their appointment and arrived early together to practice extra with Willard. Although they are not as serious and hard-working as Willard, if they can persist for a long time, they should have some effects.
That afternoon, the Hurricanes held a 60-minute intra-squad training match, with those wearing blue vests representing the main players and those wearing yellow vests representing substitutes.
Willard was assigned to the yellow team representing the substitutes, but he failed to get a chance to start and could only stand on the sidelines waiting for the chance to play.
When the time came to the 37th minute, the score had become 2-0 for the blue team and the yellow team. When the ball went out of bounds and became a dead ball, assistant coach Andres Yalin shouted to Alan Willard: " Velarde, come on, replace Lucas."
