There is a belief called football

Chapter 202 XZ Special Training ([-])

After arriving in LS, Stan led the whole team into the vicinity of the training base in the suburbs.

Although XZ is still a little behind compared to the fast-growing mainland, LS, the capital of XZ, has all kinds of facilities, including basketball courts, tennis courts, and football fields.

But one thing is that it is difficult to cultivate natural grass on such a plateau, so the training ground that Stan can find in LS is the artificial grass field.

For non-professional players, the difference between natural turf and artificial turf will not be very big, but as a high-level professional team, the difference in feeling is still very big.

Stan cannot solve the hardware limitation. He can only ask players to wear spikeless football shoes for training, because the biggest difference between artificial turf and natural turf is that you can tackle the ball on natural turf, and you can shovel the grass with your movements, but artificial turf is not good, so running on artificial turf with spikes will feel more tiring and more likely to be injured.

Another point that reassures Stan is that many Chinese players started their youth training by playing on artificial turf when they were young. After all, the conditions of Chinese stadiums in the past were not as good as they are now. In other words, Chinese players are not as delicate as European and American players.

After addressing some external factors, Stan started his training session the morning after reaching LS.

In order to ensure the 100% safety of the players, the five-member medical team led by Dong Zhou set up a laptop to monitor the players' physical conditions at any time on the sidelines.

Before training started, Stan looked at the players, who seemed to be a little tired, but nothing else.

"how do you feel"?Stan asked.

No one dares to say "no".

"Very good," the team member replied.

Stan turned around and looked at Pekovic, then at Dong Zhou, and said, "Then start jogging, pay attention to my words, jogging, really jogging for me, just like brisk walking."

The team members started jogging, but 20 seconds later, a series of sirens came from Dong Zhou's side.

Stan ran over quickly, "what's wrong"?
"Stan, the player's blood oxygen concentration has reached a critical value",
"Do you need to stop training immediately?"
"Of course," Dong Zhou's expression was serious.

"Pekovic, go stop practice and go over there to rest," Stein said.

*****
Seeing the players go to rest one by one, Stan felt a little scared, "Sometimes it is difficult for people to tell whether the body is tired or something is wrong by feeling", Stan thought to himself.

If you don't have this equipment, then... .Stan didn't dare to think about it.

"Did our training program fail after only 20 seconds?"
Dong Zhou's expression was ugly, but he had to admit that if he couldn't even pass a jog that was as slow as walking, then what else could the team do when they came to LS this time?
Suddenly Stan laughed.

"Coach, what are you laughing at? Are you laughing at me?"
"No, I thought, not everyone can learn Bolivian Kung Fu, I'm too whimsical, well, we'll go back tomorrow."

After being silent for a long time, Dong Zhou said: "Then go back, I will lead the team to continue the research, and hope to help the national football team next time."

"Well, why don't you go to the United States to study, it's best to learn the method they used to train Phelps and play for me."

Dong Zhou smiled and nodded, but the plan failed before it started, so he smiled forcedly.

*****
After lunch, Stan found the homestay owner "Tsewang" and told him that he would check out tomorrow.

"Coach, you don't want to set it up for half a month",
"Originally yes, but now plans have changed",
Losing a big business, Tsewang's face was very unhappy.

"Is it my service that is not good, or is it an uncomfortable place to live?"
Stan waved his hand. He saw that Tsewang was a simple and honest person, but this time he broke the appointment, so he told Tsewang all the ins and outs of the matter.

"Oh, altitude sickness? It's easy."

"What? You have a way," Stan was dubious.

Tsewang began to explain to Stan that many tourists will feel dizzy, lazy, and do not want to move when they first come. The best way to adapt to altitude sickness is to move, and they will adapt quickly. Tsewang suggested that Stan take the team members to go shopping.

"shop"?
Tsewang nodded.

"You're more creative than I am," Stan thought.

Tsewang said that once a female tourist also suffered from severe altitude sickness when she came, but after visiting the "Bajiao Street" with her friends, nothing happened when she came back.

After listening to Ciwang's words, Stan wanted to discuss with Dong Zhou.

*****
"shop"?
"Is there any scientific basis"?Stan asked.

"Maybe".

"Maybe"?
"Yes, when shopping, people are in a happy mood and in a relaxed state. In fact, the altitude of LS is not very high, so it is not difficult to adapt."

Stan smiled and said: "Then we won't go, the whole team will go shopping in the afternoon, and we will train again tomorrow."

Dong Zhou understood what Stan meant, and he nodded in agreement.

*****
"shop"?
"shop"?
"shop"?
"shop"?
The team members spoke in unison, dubiously, because it was impossible for Stan to let them go out by themselves, let alone take them shopping, since Stan led the team.

"Coach, why are you pampering the chicken this time?" Qi Bing said.

Stan gave Qi Bing a slap on the back of the head, "Although I don't understand what you mean, you dare to talk to the coach like that."

Qi Bing was beaten, but it made everyone laugh.

"Leave in 10 minutes, let's go to LS", Stan gave the order.

*****
LS said that it was not too big, and that it was not too small. Stan asked Tsewang to be his temporary guide, and Tsewang introduced Stan to visit the "Bajiao Street" around the Jokhang Temple.

On the way there, Tsewang gave an introduction to Stan. LS has a saying that first there is the Jokhang Temple, and then there is the LS City. The Jokhang Temple is the center of the old city of LS and the most prosperous place in the city of LS.

The team bus arrived near the Jokhang Temple, and the whole team got off the bus. Stan announced that they would be free to go shopping for 2 hours.

Li Qiao and his "old classmate" Qi Bing went shopping together. Before leaving, Tsewang specially told everyone that they could only walk clockwise on Bajiao Street, otherwise the locals would be unhappy. Li Qiao, Qi Qi and Qi Bing walked aimlessly. To be honest, none of the three of them are the kind of people who like to go shopping. Even if they go shopping, they are mostly forced by their girlfriends.

"Stan is so weird, not only did he not train today, but he even took us shopping," Qi Qi said.

"It is estimated that conscience has discovered it," Qi Bing said.

"Hehe, talk about the coach behind his back, don't be afraid of tongue ulcers," Li Qiao said.

"Don't you find it strange?" Qi Bing said.

"It's nothing surprising. A new team doctor has arrived, and all training has become more systematic. It should be that our physical indicators have not yet met the training requirements."

"Honestly, I feel okay, just a little tired," said Qi Rate.

"Really, but I feel a little stuffy and uncomfortable in my chest, especially when I'm sleeping," Li Qiao said.

"Actually, I have a little bit, but I don't want to admit it, for fear that other people will underestimate me," Qi Bing said.

"Okay, let's not talk about training, let's see what to buy and give it to friends and relatives when we go back," Li Qiao said.

Li Qiao walked to a small shop selling Tibetan jewelry, glanced over, and Li Qiao saw a very beautiful bracelet, "Boss, can you show me this?"

The boss handed the bracelet to Li Qiao. At first glance, it was a silver bracelet, inlaid with amber, beeswax, turquoise, etc. that XZ people like. It was a very beautiful bracelet.

"Give this to Diana, she will definitely like it", Li Qiao thought to himself.

After bargaining, Li Qiao bought it for 200 yuan. Holding it in his hand, Li Qiao fantasized about how Diana would wear it. It must be beautiful.

"Gift to girlfriend"?Someone behind Li Qiao asked.

"You are going to die, Qi Bing, hide behind my back and scare people",
"Scaring? Did something inappropriate for children appear in your mind just now?"
"Bah, bah, you're still the same," Li Qiao said.

"Hehe, but your eyes are really good",
Qi Bing also bought a similar bracelet in the past, "Go back and give it to my girlfriend"?
"Really, you have so many girlfriends, is one enough?"Li Qiao said with a smile.

"Fuck you, I'm just talking about it, but I'm actually a good person," Qi Bing said.

"Let's go, good man, let's not block the boss from doing business," Li Qiao said.

*****
When the team members went shopping, Stan and Tsewang drank tea in a teahouse next to the Jokhang Temple. It was the first time Stan drank the fragrant "butter tea", but Stan liked the taste very much.

"Tsewang, there is something I want to ask you",
"Coach, you say",
Stan pointed to the people kowtowing in front of the Jokhang Temple not far away, "What are they doing? Did they make a mistake and are being punished?"
Tsewang laughed, then made a "shh" gesture, "Coach, this is not a nonsense", and Tsewang explained to Stan why they did that.

But after hearing Tsewang's explanation, Stan still didn't understand, "Why, is there any benefit in doing this?"
"No, they're not doing it for any benefit," Tsewang said.

Stan was puzzled, whether it is the East or the West, who is not living for the benefit?

Stan took a sip of the butter tea.

Tsewang felt that Stan didn't believe him, so he blushed and wanted to explain to Stan clearly, but because Tsewang's Chinese level was not high, although he understood it himself, he just couldn't explain it in Chinese.

"Tsewang, people live for benefits, for example, my goal is to win, and your goal is to make money, right?"
Tsewang disagreed, but what could he say?
"If not, what is it for? Tsewang, I really can't think of it."

At this moment, a voice came from behind, and a person said loudly: "For faith".

Stan immediately turned his head to look, and he was a little taken aback.
