Nord Palace Hotel in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
It is a small luxury hotel used by many of the world's most prestigious clubs for non-seasonal training. Nearby there is a soccer training field suitable for training.
In addition, the hotel is given 24 hours access to the best services from the hotel, including hot springs, massage, body care and mental care.
In other words, it was a non-season recreation training center where you can enjoy recreation and training at the same time.
As the facility was so good, there was always a lot of competition, and for the next two weeks Real Madrid's squad was going to use the whole.
Training began the morning after arrival.
"¡Vamos, Blancos. Good morning."
At the beginning of the endless running-field, the coaches and players gathered, and Scolari opened.
And the players responded.
¡Vamos, Blancos.
Scolari used it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and goodbye to unite the team.
This was Scolari's earnest desire to win the Champions League.
So too, he was infamously displaced by EPL's prestigious Chelsea late last year.
In order to wash the humiliation and to continue the reputation of being the "World Cup championship manager," he had to achieve good results this time.
The first step was to seize the team and rebuild.
Real Madrid was in turmoil now.
By August 31, when the transfer market was closed, no one could be sure who would be recruited or released.
The only current players who were transferred to Real Madrid were Cristiano Ronaldo and Xabi Alonso.
Accurate killing will be completed after off-season training.
Regardless of nationality, race, or age, no one could feel relieved.
It was no exaggeration to say that all the players who have not yet re-signed are subject to release review.
Even if Calderon had a love for the Dutch connection, Scolari was reluctant to send out unnecessary players.
There were no exceptions, whether they were Archen Robben, Besley Sneijder or Van Nistelrooy.
The hilt was held in Scolari's hand.
And training began in a solemn atmosphere.
The first training was fitness.
In the off-season, he usually focuses on getting the most out of his workouts through hard training, to make sure he's good enough for a season.
"Hou."
"haha···."
The players ran and ran again.
So it was repeated for two days.
The ball never kicked and spent the day repeating the run like a marathon runner.
It was repeated on the second day, which continued until day three.
On the third day.
The atmosphere of the training ground was very different from before.
Zinedine Zidane and Roberto Carlos' absence made the team that way.
Zidane, who was about to retire, was enjoying vacations with her family, and Carlos, who had expired, had planned to return home without re-signing.
Players also changed in a different mood from last season.
The old players were very friendly, but there was an invisible wall between the new Castilla's young players and transfer students.
Of course, the nerve wars had to go on.
Particularly today, interval training was conducted. The method of training was to reciprocate to the whistle.
The players gave up over time as pakimchi one by one.
Then there were two players who survived to the end.
"Two are left today."
"Is the Young and Chris's physical strength so good?"
It was Woo Ho-young and Ronaldo.
They don't give up on each other
Did.
Are you sure you want to remove the studded stone?
Studded stone hit the rolled stone, it was the fight.
"It's sticky, sticky. It's only three days of training, isn't it too hard? "
"Yeah. I don't know if both of them are falling. "
The players who gave up admire their mentality.
"I hope the spirit wins."
"I agree."
It was an interesting development.
Players cheering for Hoyoung was the placenta, but there was a player standing right in the middle.
Pepe is one such example.
'You're upset. Woo-young and Ronaldo's confrontation. I expected it, but ...
He was on the Portuguese national team and had a difficult time with Ronaldo.
'Unless one side finishes, they're not guys to give up both.'
If the desire to win second, the two were not ready to stop until the heart burst.
Beep!
"Hua ..."
Beep!
"Hou woo woo ..."
There was no concession.
All the team members were in front of me, I could not lose even more.
It didn't seem to end until one was exhausted.
However, just coming and winning desire could not overcome the physical limitations.
Ronaldo's face was red as soon as it burst.
Ho-young's face, on the other hand, was not that far.
Park Ji-seok's two hearts (U) and Nedved's phenomenal stamina (S + 3) were synthesized, and the help of the "unstopping heart (SU)" was great.
It sublimates the stamina that was the disadvantage of goodwill.
But in the end.
Beep benefit
The confrontation, which seemed not to end, ended.
"stop!"
Scholari came to watch the two pride confrontation without words.
If you are injured while injured because of a big problem.
It was still early training, so I needed to manage my physical condition.
Scolari stood in front of them, tangling with the trademark mustache.
"Who told me to be so hard? It's early training, so I told you to use only 85% of your fitness? "
"Hou ... I did that. "
"Well?"
Ho-young replies confidently.
Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, couldn't answer correctly because of his breath.
Scolari shook his head and opened his mouth.
"Competition is good. But it also needs to know when and where. "
"Okay."
"Yes···."
The competition between them, however, has continued ever since.
One week of training.
Scolari is in a dilemma.
The main purpose of nonseason training is to boost performance, but also to identify and correct problems.
But as I started training, I only worried more.
Woo Ho-young and Ronaldo.
Of course, I didn't think the combination would fit well in the first place.
Harmony occurs naturally over time.
But Scolari changed his mind yesterday.
Woo-young and Ronaldo's coexistence seemed to be more difficult than they thought.
The two were like water and oil that could not be mixed together.
There were no formation problems because both had different positions to digest, but both were so obvious that they bothered each other unconsciously.
'It is ideal for Woo Young to take Alonso's build up and play forward.
However, the problem was that the space between Ronaldo and Woo Ho Young overlapped intermittently.
On the contrary, Ronaldo's freeroll and Woo Woo-young's role as finisher caused the team to lose a lot of defensive moves.
There was a big difference between Ronaldo and Woo Ho Young's defense.
'There's too much to export Woo Ho Young to the front. Woo Ho-young is also a great help to the defense. '
The attacking midfielder could play as many roles as possible, and I thought it was the best position for Hoyoung.
In addition, this year's stamina has improved significantly, so that greater synergy could be achieved.
'The ability to handle the ball is better than I imagined.'
Woo-young's ball sensation has grown significantly.
The 28-year-old director Scolari's eyesight was bitter enough to see it.
Woo Woo-young was the world's first ball controller.
The skill of handling the ball will not be lost to anyone.
At least it was so for Scolari.
However, Woo Woo-young can't simply be used as a front-runner.
For the team to gain maximum benefit, he had to leave him with a bit more serious and important mission.
Then Woo Ho-young naturally takes the lead.
That was where trouble began with Ronaldo.
And that's why I called Ronaldo today.
"Chris, think well. It's a matter of giving each other a bit of a good game. But if you keep the same attitude, I have to make my decision. "
Scolari boldly removed Romario, who was the star of Brazil in 2002, when he was the star of the century.
As such, Ronaldo could not express his dissatisfaction.
No, he wasn't really dissatisfied.
Regardless of where you play or what role you take, it was only when you became the main character on the spot.
Understanding Ronald's concern, Ronaldo replied clearly.
"Okay. I do my best in my role. "
There was no sign of discord or politics that would destroy the team.
He was purely crazy about football.
That passion has become hotter these days.
In order to do better than now (though he thought he was better than Woo Young), he endured harsh training every day.
"Okay, I look forward to it."
"Okay."
The answer is that, but the competition with Woo will not end.
A desire for competition and competition.
That was the best part of Ronaldo's life, and it was the driving force that allowed him to develop indefinitely as a footballer.
And by the end of the training.
Ho-young was able to covet his talent as soon as he met the conditions of "training with Ronaldo for 2400 minutes."
[Choose the talent you want to covet]
Wonderful dribble (SS + 3)
Artistic Ball Control (SS + 2)
Uncompromising Match (SS)
Unique personal note (SS-)
Wonderful goal determinant (S + 3)
-Awesome flagship (S + 2)
I was worried a bit here.
Do you choose the highest rated wonder dribble?
Or choose artistic ball controls to elevate your sense of ball.
The time of agony was not so long.
How long will he be with Ronaldo in the future?
Ho-young decided to resolve the most curious things first.
Artistic Ball Control (SS + 2)
[18.42) The absolute value of the ball sensation attained state]
[According to absolute value, it grows into a `` ball sensation that reached a state (SSS + 2). '']
SSS- What a rise of three levels.
It wasn't, but the feeling of approaching the limit began to feel more real.
'If it's like this, I'll be right.'
So, the growth of Ho-young was on track.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid's first stage "Peace Cup" came a step ahead of the season.
The success or failure of the season was to be seen there.
