Chapter 20 Alternative Training Life

The next morning, Don Jack came to the youth team training ground of Schalke 04 to train with other players.

At Schalke 04 Club, there are two standard training football fields and several training lawns. One of the football field is of course for first-team players, and the other football field is jointly used by Schalke 04's under-23 youth team and under-19 youth team.

In the past, this football field is generally not used by anyone. Most of the players in the youth team are trained on a few pieces of turf. Although the venue is not standard, the goal and equipment are all available, so it doesn't matter at all.

In many cases, the under-19 youth team will play a training match with the under-23 youth team, and the two players share another football field for internal matches, which is also to give young people more experience.

For youth teams under the age of 19, most of these players are between the ages of 16 and 18. They focus on basic training, such as physical strength, endurance and basic tactics.

Most of the players of the youth team under the age of 23 have mature basic skills, and their physical strength, endurance, tactical foundation and consciousness have reached a standard. Their training items are mainly competition, tactical awareness and tactical cooperation.

Obviously, Don Jack is not among them.

Jack Don's physical strength and endurance are very good. Even if Schindler doesn't really see the data, he has some relevant understandings, but this new boy's tactical foundation is almost 0. Schindler is extremely sure of this!

What tactical literacy can a boy who has been playing black balls before?

Don Jack also admitted it.

In the formal football match, he did not cooperate with his teammates at all, because his running position and consciousness were all hazy. Standing on the court, as long as the football was at the feet of his teammates, he was a little at a loss.

So, after some short training on the first day, Schindler sent Don Jack to the under-19 youth team...

"Haha, that boy was downgraded on the first day!"

"That guy did a good job yesterday, but his foundation is too poor."

"I think those little guys will definitely guide him, haha, this is really interesting!"

......

Many under-23 youth teams are amused by Schindler's decision, because they have never seen a young team player under the age of 23 who will be sent to the under-19 youth team for training.

Obviously, everyone's idea is correct.

Although Don Jack is only 19 years old, he is at least 1 or 2 years older than the players of the under-19 youth team. In addition, due to experience, Don Jack is very mature, which makes him look more like a 23,4-year-old player. Although he is young, he looks more Generally, people of the same age are older, which makes many youth team players under the age of 19 feel that the team has a 'big brother'.

"Fuck!!" Don Jack complained with white eyes that he learned from an English teammate.

Of course, it doesn't matter. The main reason is that he must receive basic training guidance from the under-19 youth team. However, Don Jack's mood is very stable, but he is not afraid of disdain and ridicule. He just learns step by step as the coach of the under-19 youth team said.

In terms of formal football, he is a complete rookie.

Jack Don is very self-amazed. He knows what his shortcomings and advantages are. Now that he has such a good training environment, he has to make up for his shortcomings. Therefore, after entering Schalke 04, Jack Tang began to train with everyone's surprising perseverance.

First of all, it is a tactical lesson.

Jack Don gave full play to the perseverance to practice Shaolin's stunts in his previous life. He went to consult Mr. Keane, the tactical coach of the youth team. Every time in his spare time, or after the afternoon training, he would go to consult Mr. Kean, which was a little annoying.

But Mr. Keane feels good.

In the youth team, few players are interested in tactical theory knowledge. They are more interested in real actual combat drills, or a wonderful action, shooting skills, etc. These practices can make them feel that they have made progress, but what can tactical theory bring?

At least this doesn't make them feel obvious progress.

So, generally speaking, except for formal tactical training courses, Keane is very free, and he likes the feeling of being a teacher.

In the past, this small requirement was really not easy to meet. In the tactical training class, unless it is practice, most players will fall asleep in the general theory class, which makes Keane very angry. He really wants to educate these young people how important tactical theory is. In the game, he will analyze the situation and run. How much does it play in terms of position and other aspects?

However, he didn't get what he wanted.

Now, Keane has room to play. A diligent black-haired oriental boy appears in the team. This boy asks him for special guidance every day, and he can listen to it tirelessly from beginning to end, and even has some basic important content, which will be silently remembered.

All this makes Keane have a sense of accomplishment. He is very optimistic about this new boy.

And what about Don Jack?

In fact, it's really nothing. He just supplemented his own foundation, that's all, isn't it? After all, Don Jack's mood is different from that of young players. He understands the importance of foundation.

In addition to tactical training, Jack Don also has to carry out basic ball-drill training and basic shooting training every day, which are not liked by young players. Therefore, in free training, many young people are tied together. Jack Don is the only one who is silently doing real free activities. Compound basic training.

In these trainings, Don Jack is mainly adapting to football, the feeling of holding the ball, and the feeling of controlling the ball, that is to say, he is exercising his sense of ball.

This looks a little strange, but Don Jack thinks that as long as he has a good sense of the ball, all the movements and skills will come naturally, so he thinks that the foundation is the most important.

Now, what he lacks is the foundation.

In fact, when other players are training freely, Don Jack is doing basic training on the sidelines, which seems funny.

Think about it, a group of younger kids are doing 'more advanced' training freely, and there is only one mature young man doing basic training in the whole training ground. How eye-catching is this?

At least as the head coach of the first team of Schalke 04, Joseph, who has been in charge of many big clubs in Germany and Spain. When Heinx came to the youth team training ground, he noticed Don Jack.

"Is this boy really strange? Has he been doing basic training all the time? Did you ask him to do this?" Heinx said to Schindler, "Why is he in this team? Isn't he under 19 years old?"

"Yes, sir."

When Schindler saw Don Jack, who had been working hard, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "He just joined in last month. It was brought by a scout. I think this guy is in good health and may grow up."

Heinx nodded, touched his forehead, and smiled, "I hope so. I think I can."

Heinx just said casually. Of course, he hopes that all the young people in the team can become talented, so he doesn't have to have a headache during the transfer period. At least he can't buy players. The young people of the team can also supplement the lineup, which is the best.

He didn't pay much attention to it, and Jack Don certainly didn't know that.

For these arguments and the incomprehension of the people around him, Jack Tang doesn't pay attention to it. He just does his own training. In fact, the main reason is that Jack Tang is learning German by himself, or at night, Li Xue learns a little by herself and teaches him a little. In this way of learning, his progress can be conceived. I got it.

That is to say, Don Jack and these young Germans have a language barrier, and he can't understand what people around him are commenting about him.

It doesn't matter.

Isn't it?

"In a few months, I will leave." Looking at the contemptuous eyes of many young Germans around him, Jack Tang smiled and said, "Where are you going? Of course, go to the first team! Go to the first team of Schalke 04!"

When you say this sentence, there must be a group of people who will disdain it.

But Don Jack doesn't care. He has this self-confidence. Only after working hard can he succeed. He is convinced of this and his ability.

Of course, it seems that it will take a little luck.

However, since you stay in the Schalke 04 youth team, there will always be luck, right?

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. It is now February in Germany. Christmas has passed for a month and a half. The war in the Bundesliga has become more and more fierce, which has nothing to do with Don Jack, but he still lives an irritable and tiring training life.

There is only one thing about it, that is the German youth team match the day after tomorrow - Schalke 04 youth team VS Bayern Munich youth team.

Although the opponent's name is very loud, it seems to be just a youth team game, but Schindler's words made many youth team players excited - first-team head coach Heinx will come to watch the game.

Yes, this is the home of Schalke 04.

That is to say, these young people have the opportunity to perform in front of the head coach of the first team. Of course, Don Jack also has the opportunity, provided that he can enter the team's list.
