Vladimir Borovicka, assistant coach of Zenit in St. Petersburg, looked carefully at Chen Yingxiong standing in front of him.

At first glance, he looked very satisfied. His body was quite strong and his body was filled with muscles. The strength seemed to come out of these muscles at any time.

Ruslan Panchenko has already told him about what happened at the CSKA Training Base in Moscow.

But he was not interested in this story. It was not too surprising to be able to score a goal above the Moscow youth team defender, not to mention that the boy in front of him was more than 1.9 meters tall. He liked to "see it as a truth", so no matter what Pan Qinko said, he had to see Chen Yingxiong's performance with his own eyes before he could make a decision.

"Hello, hero." He said hello to Chen Yingxiong in English.

"Hello, Mr. Coach." Chen Yingxiong replied without being humble and arrogant.

Borovikia is quite satisfied. This kid has a good attitude, but I don’t know if his heart is strong enough. The psychology of a professional player is also very important. If he has a strong body and the one that supports this strong body is a fragile heart, then this person can’t walk long on the professional football path.

Chen Tao looked at the two of them with some excitement and nervousness next to him.

Early this morning, they took Panchenko's car to St. Petersburg. Originally, Panchenko wanted to take a day off before going to the club, but Chen Yingxiong told him that he was not tired at all and went directly to the training base. Panchenko looked at the time. At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the team was training. It's okay, if you go at this time, everyone was there. So they drove directly to the Udelny Park training base (named because it was close to this park), which is the location of Zenit, St. Petersburg.

Then they quickly met assistant coach Borovikia

Chen Tao is very satisfied with the attitude shown by this club. It is completely different from the CSKA. Zenit's coaches seem to be more friendly and easy to get along with.

He thought that if his son could stay here in the end, it would be much better than staying in Moscow...

"I heard Ruslan tell you yesterday's story."

Chen Yingxiong grinned.

"I'm very curious about your physical fitness. How about I want us to do a physical test first?"

"No problem, Mr. Coach."

Borovikia nodded and signaled physical coach Valery Ker Kov to come.

The physical test is actually very simple. First measure Chen Yingxiong's height and weight, and then ask him to do five sets of 100-meter sprints, 30-meter sprints and five sets of 5 sets, and twelve-minute long-distance running.

It is different from the serious physical fitness test. This is just to give Zenit's coaches a basic understanding of the physical fitness of the big man in front of him - he looks tall and strong, but how fast and how endurance are? These coaches don't know.

Chen Tao stood on the sidelines and looked at his son who was being tested on the court.

He was not worried about his son's physical fitness at all.

He is not tall himself, and his wife Li Yun is not as tall as Lang Ping, but the son he gave birth to seemed to have a genetic mutation, and his head suddenly became bigger, scaring them as parents.

Chen Yingxiong was getting too big and loved football, so Chen Tao sent him to play football. At first, he really didn't want to train his son to become a professional player, but he just thought that since his son liked it, he sent him to play. Later, he found that his son still showed some talent in playing football, so he began to seriously consider training him to be a professional player. At that time, the Chinese professional league had just begun and was in full swing. Chinese fans' enthusiasm that had been squeezed for many years was stimulated by our own professional leagues. The media reported on the lives of professional players and reported on professional leagues. Those stars frequently appeared in the newspapers. Chen Tao felt that it seemed that nothing wrong with making his son a professional football player and engaged in professional football.

Since childhood, Chen Yingxiong has eaten the best and most nutritious food. Their family hardly eats pork, mainly beef, chicken, fish, milk, eggs, and never stops. In the mid-1990s, there were not many families who could do this. It was all up to Chen Tao to go into business, so their family had the financial strength.

Chen Yingxiong did not disappoint his father's hope of "looking for his son to become a dragon" and those beef, milk, and eggs. He has been one head taller than all his peers since the fourth grade of elementary school, and his body has grown rapidly, and it has not gradually slowed down until high school. In this way, he is now 1.92 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms, but his physical development has not completely stopped, and there is still room to go up.

In 1994, the first professional football league in China kicked off in Chen Tao's hometown. The football craze quickly swept across China. Many teenagers were sent to various football schools by their parents for training. Chen Yingxiong is also one of the thousands of teenagers.

From football schools to professional teams, to professional football club echelons, Chen Yingxiong has been promoted smoothly - of course, the red envelopes his father gave to the coaches is naturally indispensable behind it.

With his outstanding physical fitness, he can still have a place in the club's youth team. However, such a smooth experience seemed to have made Chen Yingxiong's temper rise.

Just when he was about to become a professional player, the fight happened. Everything was over. Twelve years of childhood and youth, hundreds of thousands of yuan in expenses, the beef, eggs and fresh milk that he had eaten... were all wasted.

what to do?

My son played football since he was a child, and although he had taken cultural courses in football schools, what role can the kind of cultural courses that only lasted for half a day and often skipped classes? At most, he would not let his son become illiterate.

My son can't do anything except football.

That week, I was so angry that I didn't say a word to my son. At the same time, he was also considering his son's future... It's so pitiful to all parents in the world. No matter how sad his son makes him sad, he still has to consider it for him. After thinking about it, Chen Tao felt that he had to continue playing football. However, he has seen a lot of dirty things about domestic football clubs in China over the years. He thought that if he was still in China, with his son's personality, he might not be able to play at all... It's better to go abroad to try his luck? Isn't the European football league very developed? Then go to Europe!

In this way, Chen Tao, who made up his mind, secretly borrowed some money from his relatives and friends, and pieced together 100,000 yuan, and used the excuse to bring his son to Germany to see the World Cup and relax, and then came out like this.

Unexpectedly, when I came to Europe, I realized what was really high-level professional football? Compared with those real professional clubs, my son may still be able to play in domestic clubs, but in Europe, people don’t even look down on him! Chen Yingxiong is not even qualified to be selected for his national team, so how can he impress those picky Europeans?

In China, if you are not strong enough, you can get red envelopes. If you don’t want your son, you can also send money to send your son in. In Europe, you can’t find a way to send money!

Chen Yingxiong's physical fitness test made Borovikia very satisfied.

The five groups of 100-meter sprints were eleven seconds, seven nine seconds, seven eight seconds, eight seconds, nineteen seconds, five seconds, ten oh, nine eight seconds, and one twelve seconds.

Compared with speed players such as Ronaldo and Robert Carlos at his peak, his speed is not particularly fast, but it is definitely not slow. Moreover, it can be seen from this set of data that his speed does not drop significantly. You should know that these five 100-meter sprints are continuous behaviors of resting for thirty seconds after each set. Under such high-intensity sprints, the time spent is reduced so little. Moreover, it is amazing that a big man can run at such a speed.

From this we can see that although Chen Yingxiong is not a pure speed player, his physical strength is very strong and his physical fitness is very good.

This was also confirmed in the subsequent 30-meter sprint back and 12-minute run.

Chen Yingxiong's twelve-minute running score was 4,600 meters.

This result made Borovikia very happy. You should know that his team's average twelve-minute running score was only 3,800 meters, and the 4,600 meters score was already the best in the first team.

It seems that Chen Yingxiong's physical fitness is indeed quite outstanding.

After testing physical fitness, Borovikia asked Chen Yingxiong to take a break and prepare for a ball test.

Chen Yingxiong sat on the sidelines, and his father immediately ran up to massage his legs and gave him a thumbs up. He was staring at the assistant coach, and the joyful expression on his face made Chen Tao happy when the assistant coach saw Chen Yingxiong's performance.

A good start is half the success. I hope that this time my son can truly win the favor of this coach.

"A piece of cake, dad. You don't know." Chen Yingxiong seemed to be modest in his mouth, but in fact he was proud. This is his style.

After running for twelve minutes, he was a little gasping, but he was not tired.

You should know that when A A was conducting the twelve-minute running test, everyone could see the results of those professional players. At that time, media from all over the country gathered in the Haitang Training Base in Kunming to report on the grand occasion. For Chinese professional players at that time, three thousand meters were the passing line, and only after running three thousand meters within twelve minutes could they directly obtain registration qualifications for the new season A A League. Two thousand eight hundred meters needed to be re-tested. Three thousand two hundred meters was another benchmark, which means that the player was very physically strong.

At that time, there were only a few people who could run over 3,200 meters. None of the entire team could run at this level. Some players with poor physical fitness ran at 2,800 meters and all ran with saliva and tears. Some players fainted on the track. The media rushed up like they smelled a bloody shark, swarming around and shooting non-stop, while this poor "loser" could only curl up in the blanket and sobbed. So that "twelve minute run" became synonymous with hell, making many professional players smell it.

The coaches were frightened and the unanimous opposition of the players and coaches in 2002, the physical test method, which was officially linked to the competition results in 1992, was cancelled after persisting for a full ten years. Chinese professional players no longer had to dream at night and would be scared to wake up. However, the good times did not last long, and they soon discovered that the yoyo physical test was not much cute than the twelve-minute run... Anyway, for those players with poor physical fitness and unrighteous attitude, no matter how scientific physical test was, it would still make them feel pain.

The result of Chen Yingxiong's running today even surpassed the record of Cassiano's 12-minute run test at the time - Cassiano ran 4,400 meters at that time. It is said that Cassiano did not do his best at that time, and there is also legend that Cassiano participated in this physical fitness test for the first time, and he knew he was stupid to run without a translation.

With this comparison, you can know how good Chen Yingxiong's physical fitness is.

Of course, in China, twelve-minute running is a life-and-death test for whether players can obtain a new season's job certificate. Now in Zenit, it's just a simple physical fitness test. Understanding Chen Yingxiong's endurance does not determine whether he can enter Zenit.

After a while of rest, the coaching staff also made arrangements. The team's under-18-year-old youth team accompanied Chen Yingxiong to test, which was the same as yesterday's CSKA Moscow.

A coach with a whistle on his chest walked up to Chen Yingxiong and said to him, "Are you ready, young man?"

Chen Yingxiong nodded.

"The game time is fifty minutes, 25 minutes each in the first and second half, and 10 minutes off." From this test, we can see the difference between Zenit, St. Petersburg and CSKA. A regular game is obviously more formal and respectful than finding four people to jointly bully one person.

The coach handed a yellow vest to Chen Yingxiong and asked him to put it on.
