The next day, Andreas woke up. After having a simple breakfast, he started his work out in his house. He is doing yoga. After returning from Ibiza, he didn't stop this. After all, he can do some basic yoga alone without a trainer, which helps him enormously to focus.
At 9 o clock, he arrived at the training ground. There is no one here. Training will start at 10.
Andreas started his training. He is following the chart Kieran made for him.
...............................
"This is the player you loaned from United."
"Yeah, I think he is the best player in this team."
"Well, At least you gave me one decent player."
"Hey, don't say that. You know we are a small team. And No good players want to come here."
"At least you get him. Even if it is a loan for one season.What about Boga? Did you buy him?"
"No, Chelsea doesn't want to sell him. We loaned him for one season."
Hearing this, paco Jimenez nods at Fran Sanchez, the current General manager of Granada.
...............................
"Look like someone is earlier than me."
Andreas follows the voice to see the owner.
"Hello. I am Andreas." He said to him fluently in Spanish. Hearing fluent Spanish, a surprised expression appears on the face of another party.
"Hey, I am David lomban.
You know you need more than just practising alone. "
David said to Andreas when he saw Andreas was shooting in the empty Goal.
Andreas stops shooting and gives him a wary smile," Well, I know that But I am alone in Spain, So there is nothing to do right."
"Well, it's true. Anyway, man, welcome to Getafe."
"Thank you."
After some time, all the members of the First team came. Then the new coach came with his coaching staff. After glancing,
"Hello, gentlemen. I am your new head coach Paco Jemez. I hope all the new members have introduced themselves already.
Today is the first day of the preseason. Today I will tell you some rules and training charts for the rest of your season.
First, I hate people who come late to the training session.
Second, Starting XI will be fixed according to your status in the training session.
Third, there will be three training sessions each day, which will be 90 minutes.
And for this season's Goal, our Goal will be to stay in 1st division. As for the cup, we will use it as a bonus.
Any question, gentlemen."
"Coach, shouldn't we aim higher."
Everyone was looking at the owner of the voice. David facepalmed.
'I tell this kid to stay low-key.'
Everyone looked at Andreas. Some have disdainful smiles on their faces. Some have thoughtful expressions.
"Well, you can aim higher if you have the skills.
So, gentlemen, we will check on you to ensure your stats after your vacation. After that, we will get into training.
In the preseason, we will mainly focus on Physical, outfield and tactical aspects.
Ok, gentleman, Let's start with your physical test."
[A/n: Outfield training: A session where outfield players put a small amount of work into each aspect of the technical and mental part of their game. Performed as a team. It dramatically helps players to grow in composure, concentration, finishing first touch, vision, passing, cross, teamwork, and work rate.]
When all the players were going to the physical test, Paco looked at Andreas's back and smiled.
After the physical test, Paco and his coaching team arranged extra training for the out-of-shape player.
"He is in perfect physical condition. I can even guarantee that he can start a match now." Assistance coach Raul said to paco.
Taking the sheets from his hand, Paco looked at the result and nodded."Well, he is undoubtedly in great shape. But he is in the new team so let's see what happens."
Andreas was talking with Dimitri, Rui and David.
Rui is a newly aided Portuguese goalkeeper. He cost Getafe 1 million euros.
"You are telling us that you were training in the off-season. That's why you are in good shape."
"Yeah"
"Hey, but shouldn't Brasilian be party type."
"Hey, what do you mean? Not All of them are like that." Andreas said.
"Yeah, only talented Brazilians are party types like Neymar and Ronaldinho."
David said this with a thoughtful expression.
Andreas' mouth twitches when he listens to this. Looking at this expression, David put his arm around his neck. "Haha, I am kidding. You are a talented player from Man utd."
"Ok, guys. Many of you are out of shape. So we planned extra sessions for them. Our first preseason game will be on 10 Aug, so I need all of you in good condition before that.
Now let's start our first training session."
The first drill was a passing circuit. Four poles to set up a diamond-like shape circuit. Each side is 10 meters long, while the diagonals are 15 and 13 meters long.
This training will help the player to get in shape first. It will also allow players to improve their first touch as they have to pass with one touch.
Paco divided the group into three And started the training session.
" His acceleration is excellent."
Raul looks at Boga, who is loaned from Chelsea.
"Yes, but he has to work on his first touch" Paco looked at this young winger and said.
"Well, he is still young."
..................
Andreas starts sprinting from pole 1 towards pole 2.
His acceleration surprised coaches.
They didn't think he was a speed-type player.
He quickly reaches his top speed. Well, his top pace is still slower than Boga's.
When he reached pole 2 the coach served the ball outside of pole 2. Andreas returns it instantly to the coach and moves to the inside of pole 2.
Andreas sprints towards pole 3 on the inside of the diamond.
The coach passes the ball outside of pole 3, and Andreas returns it with One touch.
This way, he finished the drill.
"How much time?" Paco asked.
"Nine seconds. Fastest in the team."
"Good technique, good first touch, good acceleration. We found a diamond in the rough, Raul."
"Okay, boys, let me explain our formation in games and our playing style. We will mainly use the 4-2-3-1 formation. 2 Central defenders With two wing backs. One central midfielder will be paired with one ball-winning midfielder. A playmaker who creates chances will be placed in front of them. In the left wing, we will go with one Inverted winger who will cut inside into an attacking third to open up a space for a wingback. On the right, we will go for the winger who will stay wide. We will use one deep-lying forward up front. Who will drop deep into the midfield?
Our play style will be control possession, short passing, and building from the back."
A few players keep nodding. Some of them were dozing off.
'It's the same as before. But pass control will be difficult with this level of player.' Andreas glanced at the players around him as he thought.
"Okay, that's it for today. Tomorrow we'll play a training match. Remember, whoever performs better in training will play in the match." Paco said while glancing at several nightclub frequenters.
................................
In the locker room, after taking a shower, Andreas was ready to leave.
"Hey Andreas, we're planning to invite new members to enjoy the night life in Granada." David said. "Well think of it as a welcome cermony for new members."
"But tomorrow we have training match "
"Well, it's pre-season, so we'll only drink a little. This will help you bond with the team fast."
"well, i will come."
...............................
A group of men sat together in a club. They are Granada players.
" What did you think of Granada's nightlife?" Dimitri asked.
"well, it's good." Andreas said as he glanced at the girl in front of the bar.
"she already rejected everyone who offered her drink," Dimitri said when he saw where Andreas was looking. Ponce looks at the girl Dimitri and Andreas are discussing.
"Let me try." Ponce said while holding a drink.
..
.
.
"Hey Beauty, how about a drink." Ponce said.
"I don't drink."
.
.
In the corner, laughter can be heard. There is no doubt that Dimitri and David were the ones who laughed.
Andreas, however, continued to gaze at her. The girl rejecting Ponce makes him feel better.
The Argentine striker comes back with a sad face. The sight of him like that made everyone laugh.
Andreas stands up and walks toward the girl.
"Hey , do you think Andreas will succed," said Boga.
"No," was Ponce's first response.
"How are you sure,"
"Let's just make a bet," Rui said from the side.
"Ok"
Several players agree on a whim.
.
.
."Hello,"
"I don't drink," The girl said to Andreas without looking.
What can she do? Some kept approaching her from time to time, which annoyed her. Although she was here with her Spanish Friend, she did not know where that girl was leaving her alone.
" That was the fastest rejection I've ever received in my life." Andreas said to the girl.
The girl looked at Andreas. She has a beautiful face with open eyes that tell a story.
Andreas blurts out before she has a chance to say anything, "I don't have any word or adjective in my dictionary that can describe your beauty."
She was stunned for a moment. It is the first time she has been complimented in this manner.
A smile spread across her face as she said, "Your flattery is much appreciated.".
"SO, may I ask you? Why A girl as stunning as you alone?"
She smiled," well, I am here with my Friend. However, she had gone somewhere." This makes Andreas's heart smile.
"So, would it be okay if I accompanied you?"
" You'll sit here even if I say no, right?"
This caught Andreas off guard.*cough*...*cough*. He got his composure back.
"Anyone with a right mind would do that." he said as he sat next to her.
"I'm Andreas Periera." He said as he offered her a drink.
"I'm Morgan Reid," she replied while accepting the drink.
.
.
"Fuck, How did he do that?" Ponce said when he saw Andreas' drink accepted.
I guess we've got a baller now," Dimitri said with a smirk. David nodded in agreement.
With a smile, Rui said, "Anyway, I won the bet."
...............................
His teammates gave him a dirty look when he arrived at training the next day. "What was it like last night?" David asked. Everyone pecked their ears.
It turned out that these guys were giving him bad looks because of yesterday's events.
He replied, "Nothing happened." as soon as he replied, "booo."
The rest of his team booed him harshly.
David gave him a nasty look."I was drinking with one of the hottest girls in the bar and you say nothing happened? We're gonna believe you, right?"
The rest of them nodded.
............................
"Beep".. "Beep"
"Slow down the rhythm. Use short passes." paco said while pointing at his players.
A training match was being played between the players.
