The team reported on the first day that Loew came to the training ground early, but what he didn't expect was that David, the president of the club, was also standing on the training ground in sportswear, with a whistle around his neck, looking exactly like himself.

"My Mr. President, this is the first training session, and you're going to fire my squid?" Loew asked jokingly, but the doubts in his heart were real.

David shrugged, pretending not to know what Loew meant, and his expression was puzzled.

"You're dressed like this, aren't you planning to fire me and lead the team yourself as the coach?" Loew asked helplessly, of course, the tone was still mostly joking.

"Didn't I tell you before that I would be an assistant coach for the first team?" David pretended to be innocent, but in fact, he really didn't say it.

Love's face was a little unsightly, he didn't expect David to come out like this.

When he came to England to coach Notts County, he didn't get the right to transfer, all his rights were concentrated on the training ground and the playing field, and now David, the chairman, is also the assistant coach of the team, so how much right do you have left in the only one acre of three-point land.

As soon as he saw Loew's expression, David understood what Loew was afraid of, and then put his arm around Loew's shoulders and said with a smile: "My man, don't worry, I won't lead the team to you." You should know that I'm a true fan, and even as the president of the club, I don't want to be isolated in a box every game, I prefer to stand on the sidelines and watch the game, so the role of assistant coach is the perfect fit. ”

David's explanation made Loew relax a little, but he still had a feeling of regret about his choice.

"Actually, you can be free to do your bidding, I'll help you clear all the obstacles, and I'll probably help you a lot as an assistant coach. You also know that sometimes the team faces some unfair decisions, and if you can't control your emotions and you get sent to the stands, then the team will be a mess on the field. David observed Loew's expression and hit the railroad while it was hot: "And I, as an assistant coach, don't have so many estimates, this protest work can be completely entrusted to me!" ”

Loew felt a cry and laugh when he heard David's words, this chairman is really too unreliable, or rather, the young chairman really didn't regard his identity as the chairman, but a die-hard fan through and through, that's all.

Loew, relieved, grinned at David, and everything was silent.

To David's surprise, after the two talked, Loew really gave David some assistant coach responsibilities, although it had nothing to do with technical and tactical training, but this work still made David full of fighting spirit.

That's right, Loew put him in charge of the player's psychological counseling, or rather, he became the team's psychologist.

It's a position that most clubs have, and in the high-pressure field of modern football, the psychological problems of players must be taken seriously, and not every player is born with a big heart.

If you are in a good mental state, you may be able to play more than 100% of your strength, and if your mental state fluctuates, then you may not be able to stabilize your training and competition state, which is something that complements each other.

Just when David was thinking about how to work in the future, he had unconsciously brought in the identity of assistant coach, and I am afraid that from now on, the job of club president will be his part-time job.

The players arrived one after another, it was a new first-team squad, the players didn't know each other, and several players from one country stood together, but they also looked very rusty.

No way, at the moment, Notts County is really an out-and-out mercenary army, with only two English players in the entire first team, and maybe not even a single English player in the starting line-up for the new season.

Fortunately, at this time, there is no minimum requirement for homegrown players, and as for the future, David believes that with his own vision, the Notts County Academy will definitely become the best academy in the world.

Loew has been on leave before, but he has not given up his work, and after getting the transfer list for Notts County, he began to familiarize himself with the characteristics of the players and study and formulate the tactics of the new team, so he is no stranger to the group of players in front of him.

Loew brought his co-op assistant coach, Buchwald, as his technical mentor at Stuttgart.

Let Buchwald take the players through the physical training, while Loew and David do the sideline discussions.

'David, there are 21 players in the first team at the moment, and we can't have at least one substitute for every position, so if we only think about the league then it's barely enough, but if we want to win in the cups, then we have to strengthen the squad. Loew was not polite at all, and said directly to David.

David nodded, then shook his head, his expression a little surprised.

This squad is completely built according to his ideas, and if you add a random third goalkeeper, it will be a 22-man squad that can cope with the league, even if there are 24 teams in League Two and need to play 46 rounds per season.

He doesn't expect the team to make a difference in the cup, whether it's the League Cup or the more important FA Cup, the champions can go straight to European competition, and where will a second-division team in Notts County have the opportunity to fight for that honour.

Being able to level up is their biggest task this season.

But it's clear that Loew is more ambitious than David, and that's what surprised David.

'Joachim, it seems like we should be more down-to-earth, I know better than you the potential of these players and how much they can achieve in the future, but at the moment they are just young people who haven't been trained too much, and our biggest goal this season is promotion, compared to the cup competition. David looked Loew in the eye and smiled.

Loew shrugged, spread his hands, and said with a natural expression: "That's right, David, upgrading is our biggest task, but we have such a great lineup, shouldn't we have a bigger pursuit?" The Cup winners are able to participate in the League Cup, don't you think it's a wonderful thing for our Notts County team in the third division to lift the trophy? Don't you want us in Notts County to be blindsided by representing England in the UEFA Cup next season as a second-tier team? ”

Even David, who thinks he has a strong psychological endurance, was shocked by Loew's bold words.

What could be crazier than that?

A third-tier team lifted the trophy?

Second tier teams playing in the UEFA Cup?

Thinking about David makes me feel excited.

Done!

Seeing David's expression change, Loew thought that David was struggling and hesitating, so he hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Even if we can't win the cup championship, but we don't get nothing, you know, our team is full of talented young people, if they can get enough game training, their growth must be limitless, and the cup is able to meet the Premier League and League One teams, this kind of game, can be more training than the English League B." ”
