Chapter 323: Outbreak Movement
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Growing up in Canada, Haoxin Liu was fluent in English, functional in Cantonese, but barely understandable in Mandarin.

These days, a large number of people from Hong Kong went north for work. The Dingtian Club had no salary advantage, since the pay level in Hong Kong was very high. But for Haoxin Liu, Hong Kong offered fewer work opportunities.

Hong Kong was very small and didn't have many good athletes, let alone a team that could compete with the top Asian professional teams. Haoxin Liu didn't want to stay in Hong Kong to teach those low-level athletes, so he chose to go north for more opportunities.

Growing up in North America, Haoxin Liu had no special feelings about soccer. After all, soccer was not very popular in North America. Unlike Chowtai Kim joining the Dingtian Club for the Herman team, Haoxin Liu hoped to find a place to use his talent.

Standing in his room now, he seemed to be uncertain as he looked at the training ground through the window.

On the training ground, Dai Li was leading several young athletes, walking in large circles around the grounds.

"What are they doing? They have circled the training ground for a few laps." Haoxin Liu had no idea what Dai Li intended.

"It is indeed walking. Fast though, but what's the point of that?"

After watching it for over half an hour, Haoxin Liu still couldn't understand what Dai Li was doing. Finally, he called a colleague nearby and asked, "What training program is Coach Li doing over there?"

"Running around the ground," the colleague answered immediately after glancing at it.

"No, they are not running. They are walking, walking quickly," Haoxin Liu said.

"Running made them tired, so they are walking now," the colleague said again.

"They have walked for a quite a long time," Haoxin Liu continued.

"It's normal in training. They will walk for a while if running has tired them out. After recovering, they then continue to run," the colleague gave a response again.

The answer made Haoxin Liu speechless. He wanted to express the whole process in detail, but he didn't how to say it. Definitely, he could express himself clearly in English. However, his broken Mandarin failed him in organizing words well enough to express his meaning in a short time.

On the training ground, Dai Li and his athletes walked another lap. When they were close to Haoxin Liu, he at last saw that Dai Li carried a bag on his back.

"Coach Li carries a bag for weight training? No. For weight training, the athletes should be loaded, but now they carry nothing while the coach is loaded."

Meanwhile, Dai Li wiped the sweat from his head. Carrying an audio speaker while speed walking for over an hour was really exhausting. Dai Li worked in physical training all year round and exercised frequently, and he was still almost out of breath.

"The outbreak is really tiring, but you seem to enjoy it! No wonder so many people like it," Dai Li took a breath.

Doing outbreak movement naturally needed music to follow. The musical rhythm coming out of the big audio speaker could easily surge adrenaline concentration and make people become more and more energetic.

The music for outbreak movement was different from that of square dancing. Square dancing music tended to focus on rhythm and sounded festive or grand.

But outbreak movement music was more dynamic and tended to sound younger. Even a lot of American and European rock music could be used for it.

As for young players, it would be hard for them to accept such square dancing music, but they had no resistance to dynamic American and European music.

Besides, young players were often obedient. Especially for those young ordinary players without any talents, they had no nearly chance to enter the field. Even as a training partner, the star players loathed them. Therefore, staying on the team was a blessing for them, and they didn't dare to doubt the coach's training method.

So Dai Li tried to build up the athletes' physical strength through outbreak movement and carried it out smoothly.

Surely, he didn't take athletes for a whole-day outbreak, since he was a fitness coach after all. If he just led his athletes walking around the ground, others would be suspicious. Furthermore, his physical strength could not keep up himself.

Thus, in the name of warm-up, Dai Li divided daily training into two parts so as to practice physical outbreak. And the time for each exercise was also slightly longer to cast a mist before others' eyes.

...

Chowtai Kim walked around the room, depressed and gloomy.

He wanted to train those young players, but now that job had been given to Dai Li. At present, he just followed Claude and did everything that was assigned to him. Though Kim could contact the main players on this team every day and help them with their training, he was similar to a training assistant.

"Dai Li is responsible for the physical training of those young players now. It is not good to go on like this. If his training really works out, Claude will put him in an important position. Then, I will be second to him! No way! I need to find a chance to check how his training is progressing."

Chowtai Kim was not a passive person. When he thought of this, he took the opportunity to walk to Dai Li's training ground.

He heard some faint music.

"Where is the music from? Whose phone is playing this? Sounds like rock music. No. The sound of a phone cannot spread so far on this open ground. Much more like from special sound equipment."

He frowned, slowed down, listened carefully, and finally knew the direction of the sound.

"Over there!" Looking in that direction, Kim saw a group of people walking quickly.

"What are they doing? Warm-up before training? No. It is more walking quickly than running."

Stopping there, he stared at this group of people. Dai Li was leading as the young players followed behind.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes... After staring for more than ten minutes, he realized the team were still walking quickly without any sign of running.

"It's been a dozen minutes. Why are they still walking? And that sound comes from them. I think they have no intention of running. They are just walking to the music. Do they seriously think this is physical training?"

Chowtai Kim suddenly burst into laughter. "This training may be effective for ordinary people, but not for soccer players!"

"I heard that Dai Li was a physical coach of a table tennis team. Maybe this is a physical training method for table tennis, but how can table tennis be compared to soccer? If he thinks he can apply his method for ping pong to soccer training, he has made a big mistake. Seems that I don't need to worry about this Dai Li. He doesn't know soccer physical training at all. In a few days, I will replace this layman!"
