Claude was stunned for a moment, then laughed. This was not an ordinary smile, but an angry mocking one.
"Mission accomplished? It's only been three days, right? Counting today, it's only been four days. If you have to lose 5 kilograms in such a short time, that table tennis coach is kidding! Is his sense of humor wrong? We've got a place." Claude snorted in his heart.
Losing 5 kilograms in three days is theoretically possible. Many extreme dieters can lose a lot of weight in a short period of time, but Claude feels that it is obviously impossible for Dai Li to have such an ability. .
The assistant could feel that there was no kindness in Claude's smile.
"That...Mr. Claude..." the assistant spoke again.
"Is there anything else?" Claude asked impatiently.
"Coach Li Dai said, if you have any questions, you can take a look at this." The assistant handed a document to Claude's hand.
"Weight test report? The date is today." Claude looked carefully. The report marked the weight of the three players Gao Feng, Zheng Yunping, and Sun Jinshan, as well as the time when the weight was measured. At the end, there was also the team's medical team seal and signature. Judging from the weight of the three athletes, they indeed lost more than 5 kilograms than three days ago.
"Dai Li expected that I wouldn't believe him, so he made this report. However, this was too deliberate. Did Dai Li think that I was easy to fool? He even took a weight test. Come report, do you think I can't tell, it's just a loss of water?" Claude's face suddenly darkened, and he felt like he was being teased.
It stands to reason that a weight test report signed by the team's medical team should be very convincing, enough to prove that Dai Li really made those three athletes lose 10 pounds. However, Claude believes that these athletes are not real. Instead of losing weight, you lose water in your body.
What Claude needs is for athletes to lose excess fat, not body water.
For athletes, losing water is very simple. While exercising a lot and sweating, but not drinking water, the body will naturally be in a state of dehydration, and the weight will also become lighter. In professional football, if the game is played when the temperature is relatively high, it is possible for the players to lose seven or eight pounds in one game. This kind of weight loss actually reduces the water in the body, which can be replenished by drinking water. It has no practical significance and cannot be regarded as real weight loss.
So Claude believed that Dai Li used this method to help athletes lose weight, and he went to the medical team to weigh himself and produced a report to fool himself.
As for the purpose of doing this, Claude could understand it after a little thought. He believed that Dai Li was eager to show his ability, so he deliberately used this deceptive method.
Claude could tolerate the low level and poor ability of his coaches, but he could not tolerate them using fraud to deceive him, so after seeing this weight test report, Claude became completely angry in his heart.
"What I hate is other people's deception. I can't have such a liar in my team! This Dai Li, I must drive him away!" Claude's face darkened.
"But I heard that he was introduced by the team's shareholders. If it is not very necessary, I really can't fire him! But this kind of person must not stay in my team, he must leave." Lauder obviously has many considerations in terms of human relations. He knows that rashly offending shareholders may cause unnecessary trouble to Harman's entire coaching team.
Claude then thought about it and immediately came up with a plan: "Now that we have a way, why not expose him in front of the entire coaching team and let everyone know that he is a liar who commits fraud, so that there will be sufficient reasons to put this person The liar was driven away! The team’s shareholders were too embarrassed to protect him!”
Claude thought of this and said to the assistant beside him: "Go and notify the medical room. I want to test the athletes' electrolytes!"
…
More than an hour later, the topics of the meeting had been discussed. Coach Harman looked at everyone and asked if anyone wanted to add a few words.
Claude stood up decisively: "Everyone, I have just been informed that Gao Feng, Zheng Yunping, and Sun Jinshan have reached the weight limit. They have successfully lost 5 kilograms of weight. If this is true, then this Can the three players participate in normal training?"
"Zheng Yunping has been our starting player last season. Gao Feng and Sun Jinshan are also important substitutes. Especially Gao Feng, as a substitute forward, scored six goals last season. If they have lost After getting rid of the excess weight, of course it is time to return to normal training." Assistant coach Delasso said.
Haman asked: "Claude, I remember you just said that the weight loss of these three players started three days ago, and the goal you set is 5 kilograms. Within three days, Losing 5kg, I'm not saying it's impossible, but honestly, it's very difficult."
"Yeah, I think it's very difficult too." Claude said, shaking the weight test report in his hand: "But the new coach Li Dai seems to have done this, and also... A team weight test report was sent.”
Claude handed the underground test report to the team doctor Maraloni. Maraloni took a look and nodded to everyone: "Yes, this is indeed the seal of our medical team."
"So, these three players really succeeded in losing 5 kilograms of weight in three days? This new physical coach is not simple!" Someone in the conference room exclaimed.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that the club would recruit such a talent for us." Claude emphasized the word "talent" very hard, and then continued: "So I plan to go and see it in person now. Looking at the weight loss results of these three players, are you interested in going together? Maraloni, you are the team doctor, come with me!"
Maraloni frowned. At first, he thought that Claude was questioning the weight test results of the medical team, but after thinking about it, he instantly understood Claude's intention.
"In that case, I'll go with you!" Assistant coach Delasso said.
Head coach Hamann also said at this time: "If you don't have anything important to do, let's take a look together."
These people in the coaching staff, whether they are assistant coaches, goalkeeper coaches, physical coaches, team doctors, rehabilitation therapists, or data analysts, are all people who have followed Harman for many years. When they followed Harman around Europe, they were like each other. They have developed a tacit understanding, and now that they see this situation, they all understand Claude's intentions.
"Claude is planning to fire the new coach."
"The new coach is so bold. He dared to lie in front of Claude."
"Haha, losing 5 kilograms of weight in three days is impossible no matter how you think about it. There will be a good show next.
Some people in the conference room couldn't help but start talking.
Jin Zhoutai felt a little unhappy. He felt that through this incident, Li Dai showed his face in front of the coaching staff, and the limelight might overwhelm him. However, when the discussion started, Jin Zhoutai suddenly realized.
"It turned out to be a lie! Let me just say, I am the best!" Jin Zhoutai curled his lips and stood up with a smile, intending to watch Dai Li's joke.
…
Dai Li didn't expect that the entire coaching team would appear in front of him.
In a group of foreigners, except for the head coach Harman and the physical coach Claude, there are several other people, such as assistant coaches, data analysts, etc. Li Dai still can’t tell who is who. After all, he has only been here for three days. We haven’t had the opportunity to meet several other core members of Harman’s team yet.
"Why are there so many people here? It seems like Harman's entire team is here! Isn't it just to lose weight? Is that so?" Dai Li couldn't help but think of the three athletes who underwent weight loss.
"Are these three people so important in the eyes of the coaching team? Although they are one starter and two substitutes, after watching Dingtian's games before, I didn't think these three players were so good, but those foreign players, Each one is better than the other."
Dai Li was thinking wildly there. After all, he was not a football coach, and he knew little about professional football. When it came to the tactical level of a professional team, Dai Li's level was about the same as that of an ordinary keyboard warrior.
On the other side, three athletes were ready to step on the scale.
The first person to step onto the scale was Gao Feng. After he stood firm, the staff next to him immediately said the number:
"81.05 kilograms!"
"I'm really more than five kilograms lighter than three days ago!"
"From the outside, I seem to be thinner than the past few days."
"But it's still a little bit heavier. Although there is no problem with participating in normal training at this weight, it is still 6 kilograms heavier than the 75 kilograms he weighed last season."
"It doesn't matter. The new season hasn't started yet anyway. If he trains with the team for a few more days, he will definitely lose weight to 75 kilograms."
Everyone started talking quietly.
The second person on the scale was Zheng Yunping.
"78.80 kilograms!" The staff reported the number on the electronic scale.
"Zheng Yunping's weight loss effect is more obvious than that of Gaofeng. He has lost 5.7 kilograms, right?"
"Yes, if you continue to practice for one day, I will probably lose six kilograms."
"Zheng Yunping is older after all. It is normal for athletes of this age to gain weight. If he can keep his weight within this range, it will be okay."
"Yes, this season, Coach Harman has planned to reduce the number of starts for Zheng Yunping. After all, he is already in his thirties, and all aspects of his body are not as good as those young men in their mid-twenties, and he is older. , and more susceptible to injury.”
Sun Jinshan, the third person to weigh in, also lost more than 5 kilograms.
Judging from the numbers, Dai Li did meet Claude's requirements. At this time, Dai Li also showed a relaxed expression.
"It's true, everyone has lost more than 5 kilograms! I originally thought that the new physical coach was cheating!"
"Don't worry, the fun has just begun! Look at Claude's appearance..."
At this time, Claude was looking at Dai Li with a mocking look.
"Why is Claude looking at me like this? He gave me a week, and I completed the task in only three days. He should praise me, right? Why are you looking at me like this?" Dai Li There is also an inexplicable feeling in my heart.
Claude waved to his assistant: "I asked you to prepare the electrolyte test. How is it?"
"It can be done at any time," the assistant replied.
"Okay, now let's do an electrolyte test on these three players." Claude deliberately amplified his voice so that everyone could hear it.
"Electrolyte test? I understand!" The people present were all professionals. Some people had already guessed the possibility of "water reduction" before, but they just didn't say it. The moment Claude shouted "electrolyte test", even though Even those who were slow to react have already figured it out.
If you lose 5 kilograms of weight in three days, if you only lose water but not fat, your body will definitely be in a state of dehydration. At this time, you only need to test the electrolytes in the body to clearly distinguish it.
After human beings exercise and sweat a lot, in addition to losing water, they also lose a large amount of electrolytes. In fact, from the perspective of the metabolic mechanism of the human body, losing water is equivalent to losing electrolytes. For example, injecting saline and glucose water into dehydrated people are actually replenishing water and electrolytes to the body.
At this moment, the electrolyte test proposed by Claude is already very clear. As long as the test results show problems, it can be proved that the three players are in a state of massive dehydration. Then the so-called loss of 5 kilograms is nothing more than a loss of 5 kilograms. It's just water reduction, which means nothing to athletes, and this long-term dehydration state will also affect the players' health.
I saw Claude staring at Dai Li with a triumphant look, which seemed to say: "I have seen through your deceitful tricks."
However, Dai Li sighed helplessly. He even looked at the three players with a sympathetic look.
When he heard the "electrolyte test", Dai Li also understood that Claude was suspecting that these three players had only lost weight in their bodies, not really lost weight.
"This Claude really thinks too much. He underestimates my ability. I just lost 5 kilograms in three days! It just affected the three players. They had to get a shot and be whipped inexplicably." Just thinking about taking a needle to draw blood hurts for them." Li Dai thought silently in his heart.
The medical team of Dingtian Football Club has specialized testing equipment and professional doctors. They specialize in serving athletes. Physical examination items such as electrolyte testing are definitely much faster than the laboratory department of the hospital. It didn’t take long for the medical team to I took the three reports over.
"The report is out!" Claude glanced at Dai Li again, but found that Dai Li didn't have any panic expression at all.
"You're quite calm, but let's see how long you can keep pretending!" Not far away, Jin Zhoutai looked at Dai Li with gloating eyes.
The staff of the medical team first handed the test report to team doctor Maraloni. After all, he is the boss of the medical team and a professional doctor. He is obviously the most authoritative to interpret this medical report.
"What's the result?" Claude asked.
"Normal!" Maraloni raised his head, looked at Claude at a loss, and repeated what he just said: "The electrolyte test is completely normal!"
