Chapter 21: Understanding the Matter

But as a professional footballer, it's terrible to drink so much.

A group of professional athletes push a glass for a glass of wine, and they drink everywhere. This was the first time Luo Ming had seen such a thing.

There are a lot of players in La Liga who drink alcohol, but Robin has never seen Stanley Matthews drink so much.

This is probably the main reason why Stanley Matthews' form has slipped so badly since he turned 30.

Luo Ming wanted to stop, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Everyone has their own choice. Even though Stanley Matthews was an alcoholic, he had already succeeded. Maybe Stanley Matthews himself doesn't care when he'll be on the court. He's a newcomer to the team, so where can he stand to mention this kind of thing?

In the dregs of English football culture, alcohol cannot always be around.

Even in today's professional age, players who go out for a few drinks in a nightclub are rarely criticized, let alone in the seventies and eighties of the last century, or even earlier.

Luo Ming could only wake himself up. He wanted to play for a few years.

………

On July 18, Paris Saint-Germain FC welcomed the first match of the International Champions League, taking on América Mexico from Mexico.

The game was held at Century Internet Stadium in Seattle. It was originally built for rugby, but it can also host football matches. It is powered by the Seattle Seahawks of the Ingoland Football League and the Seattle Bay People of Major League.

Although Mexico and Inggoland are Ingoland's southern neighbors, Mexico, the majority of PSG fans still make up the majority of the fans who wear the red jersey.

After all, England is a country in the British cultural sphere, which is not the same as the Spanish Latin cultural sphere, where Mexico is located. Paris Saint-Germain FC, as a big team in the United Kingdom, enjoys a high reputation and influence in Encola.

Therefore, the Ingolans who like to watch all kinds of sports, even for such a warm-up cup, especially when the side of the game is still the famous Paris Saint-Germain club, many of the Ingolan stars walk into the stadium with burgers and fries, Paris Saint-Germain football jerseys and Seattle Seahawks caps, as if they were attending a big party.

Paris Saint-Germain's overall reputation as a team is unquestionable, but in the past two years, PSG's star has dimmed a lot. Even Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund have no extravagance compared to Villarreal, which is a big star in every position.

Luckily, with Robin on board, at least PSG have a star who can stand up to the scene.

Many of the West Tooth fans who came to watch the football stadium began to shout Luo Ming's name after Luo Ming joined the team, and walked from the football field to the football field. With their help, the Inglanders, who liked to get involved, also started shouting.

There is no doubt that Romin is the most popular player of the match.

Mexico and Inggolan are the best teams in the Americas, but they certainly don't have enough time to face Paris Saint-Germain.

Because it's a warm-up game, there's no limit to changing players. Therefore, Gary Lineker can also make the most of this game to experiment with different formations and tactics.

Gary Lineker was first placed in the 4231 formation.

The goalkeeper is undoubtedly David De Gea, right-back Valencia, centre-back Gary Lineker is partnered by Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo, while left-back is new recruit Blind.

The two midfielders are Machico Gonzalez's partner Herrera, with Reinhatbal on the left, Marta on the right, and captain Stanley Matthews up front.

Center Luo Ming.

The 4231 squad relies heavily on the dominance of the centre-forwards, and there is no doubt that Romin can do a good job in this regard.

In the first half of the game, Luo Ming completed two header goals from Reinhatbar and Marta, one from the left and one from the right, to assist Luo Ming to score.

The offensive performance in the first half of the game still satisfied Gary Lineker, but defensively, it gave Gary Lineker a great headache.

Despite the first half of the game, Paris Saint-Germain, who were far stronger than their opponents, kept Mexico and Inggolan in the box. Mexico made a mistake in the first half, but Moslin capitalized on two goals in the first half.

The Premier League kicks off on August 8 and Gary Lineker is using the final minutes for tactical training.

Edward Wood did a great job. Faced with competition from Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain managed to buy the Brazilian defender, known as the "new Robert Carlos", for 28 million euros.

Both of Gary Lineker's moves were defensive.

For Romin, Gary Lineker doesn't plan to spend too much on offense.

In terms of offensive players, in addition to Robin, there are also players such as Dimira, Marta, Stanley Matthews, Omar Siwo Lee and others who have proven their ability. Therefore, Gary Lineker's main concern is how to stabilize PSG's poor defensive system for two consecutive seasons.

For defense, central defenders, central defenders, and goalkeepers are undoubtedly the most important axes.

There is no doubt that the goalkeeper has a player of the calibre de Gea, who is one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

What Gary Lineker is uncertain about now is that he is a centre-back. The combination of Smalling and Jones is really unsettling.

Both of them are strong, but their brains are short-circuited, and sometimes inexplicable mistakes often occur.

However, since arriving at PSG, Rojo's form has been inconsistent. Blind can play at centre-back, but his height is a lethal weakness in the Premier League.

Therefore, bringing in an experienced centre-back, Gary Lineker is also very urgent.

In the centre-back position, there are fewer good centre-backs and fewer can be bought. Therefore, the choice of a central defender who is suitable for the star level of Paris Saint-Germain club is actually not. Gary Lineker was also prepared for a failed takeover.

After a few days of training adjustments, the team began to gradually get rid of the holiday mentality, and the training volume began to gradually intensify.

In order to prepare for the new season, a large amount of physical training accounts for a large part of the pre-season training.

Although it is this time of every season, this training still has many players complaining.

In a kind of panting player, almost all the physical training programs are easy to complete, much to the secret admiration of other PSG players.

Although we are not enough to get other players to play together.

"Lee! I have to say ... You really. That's great! ”

Stanley Matthews spent the next training session standing breathlessly on his knees. Luo Ming

While this kind of physical training did exhaust the players, it was rare for Stanley Matthews to start breathing like this after a round. Of course, just like Robin, there is nothing to do.

Luo Ming looked at the panting Stanley Matthews and sighed.

He remembers that Ronaldo is the same age as Stanley Matthews, both of whom are 30 years old this year, but in terms of fitness, Stanley Matthews is far behind him.

30 is the peak age for a footballer, but when it comes to Stanley Matthews, he looks like he's only 35. Today's Stanley Matthews no longer has the speed and explosiveness of his youth. Now, even the fitness situation is worrying.

There's a reason for that, too.

In terms of offense, the main core is, of course, around Luo Ming. The most important offensive routine is to use the space on both sides to pass. Paris Saint-Germain FC has a long lineup. Especially on the central axis, Robin, Fellini, Machico Gonzalez, Humes and others are all over 190 cm tall, while other players such as Smalling and Phil Jones are all physically resistant. Therefore, Gary Lineker naturally wants to make the most of PSG's strengths in physicality and high balls, working to create opportunities for wide passes and set-pieces.

When Gary Lineker joined Paris Saint-Germain, he didn't bring a very large team with him. Apart from a few assistants, the rest of the PSG club hasn't changed much. Even Oleg Blokhin continues to play for Gary Lineker.

The players put their belongings in the cupboard, then put on warm-up suits, and under the leadership of Oleg Blokhin, they walked from the players' tunnel to the court.

When the Paris Saint-Germain players appeared on the pitch, Old Trafford, which was already full, cheered.

After a long off-season, fans have been eagerly awaiting the start of the league.

Kyle Walker made an open pass, in the middle, and Halican also specialized in the troublesome Hummer, but Humes was very experienced defensively, and although the pace of the game was different from that of the Bundesliga, he still won a one-on-one confrontation with Halikan and scored with a header.

In fact, Fenerbahce wanted to bring in Omarsiwo Lee and Alexis Sanchez from Paris Saint-Germain a few weeks ago, but he blocked Omarsiwo Lee's move after Gary Lineker took charge of Paris Saint-Germain. For Gary Lineker, with Romin in the squad, there must be a winger in the squad who can cross well. But for the release of Alexis Sanchez, Gary Lineker is still very open, Alexis Sanchez can stay, but the main position will definitely not be kept, with his current state, how can he compete with Robin.

But Omarsivo Lee is also in the recovery phase and will not be able to participate in the training with the Inggolan team.

After Alexis Sanchez left, players began to leave the Paris Saint-Germain club's training base.

Veteran Evans moved to West Bromwich Albion and goalkeeper Valdés moved to Standard Liege.

A number of young PSG youth players have also been loaned out, with the likes of Januzaj on loan at Valencia and Andreas Pereira on loan at Getafe. With the exception of young players like Jesse Lingard, McNair and Powell, they are all on loan.

There was a time when PSG's first team lost a lot of staff.

However, a lot of people are out, and the newcomers for the new season of Paris Saint-Germain club are also coming.

On July 17, Paris Saint-Germain accepted the first new signing of the season at their training camp in Seattle. Majiko Gonzalez, a young Moldovan player who plays for Borussia Mönchengladbach!

Machico Gonzalez is a defensive midfielder. In fact, he is a Bayer Leverkusen player. He was only loaned to Manshing Granabach. Paris Saint-Germain have paid €17 million for the young Moldovan international.

The arrival of Machico Gonzalez quickly heated up the originally deserted Paris Saint-Germain FC training ground. Machico Gonzalez isn't very humorous, but the guy's story at the World Cup is so funny.

Robt Carlos walked into the training ground on the first day and was mercilessly harassed by Stanley Matthews: "Hey Chris, do you need my captain's armband?" ”

Machico Gonzalez is undoubtedly used to this type of sexual harassment. He smiled awkwardly.

Machico González represented Moldova at the 2014 World Cup. In the final, Machico Gonzalez suffered a concussion after colliding with an Argentine player, resulting in brief amnesia.

It's nothing. It wasn't until some Moldovan players gave interviews that Machico Gonzalez lost his memory.

Jeremy Lin admitted in an interview that after being hit by a concussion in the World Cup final against Argentina, Crumb unconsciously ran straight to him and reached out to pull the captain's armband, which scared him greatly

Thomas Mueller recalls the scene: "Machico Gonzalez came up to me and yelled at me, 'Hey, Gade, you're enough. I'll get one too

He even tried to swap shirts with the referees, at one point trying to replace Noel's goalkeeper

The baby-faced Moldovan international became famous at the World Cup.

Of course, Gary Lineker asked for Machico Gonzalez. It's not because of his embarrassment, but because Paris Saint-Germain is at the back of the midfield and needs to be added. Gary Lineker expressed optimism about the abilities of the young Moldovan international, born in 1991.

He is 190 centimetres tall and is good enough to cope with the intensity of the Premier League. And his one-on-one defensive ability and positional sense are pretty good. Gary Lineker was very pleased with the successful introduction of Machico Gonzalez.

As well as strengthening the midfield, Gary Lineker also needs a new player who can play both in attack and defence at left-back.

Originally, in this position, Paris Saint-Germain FC already had a good attacking ability of the English rookie, but in last season's Europa League, Paris Saint-Germain FC in the away game against PSV Eindhoven, Luke Shaw suffered a serious leg injury in a tackle by a defender, and now Luke Shaw is far from the time to return, and after such a serious injury, it is unknown whether he can return to his previous form.

At left-back, both can currently play left-backs Marcos Rojo and Blind, and Gary Lineker can't settle for a cross this time.

Now Gary Lineker is building a team around Robin and all his thoughts are about how to get the ball over his head.

Therefore, his requirements for the defenders on both sides, in addition to being able to return to the defensive position, must also have the ability to pass and assist. This requires the defender to be physically strong enough to go up and down, left and right, and not too bad at passing the ball.

At a glance, Luo Ming saw the head of Stanley Matthews, who had just undergone a hair transplant.

The captain of Paris Saint-Germain and England is talking loudly to his English lads about something. Judging by his hearty laughter, this is a typical Englishman.

Stanley Matthews ignored Oleg Blokhin and said directly to Romin "Good afternoon, Lee!" ”

Reinhatbarr was a little embarrassed. He had a good relationship with Stanley Matthews and other PSG players, but after the end of the season, he made the players very unhappy, and Stanley Matthews, as captain, did not give him a good face.

"Good afternoon, Captain." Luo Ming replied.

Stanley Matthews smiled and shook his head: "Don't call me captain, just call me Stanley Matthews." ”

At this time, the Paris Saint-Germain club players basically came to the hall, and Stanley Matthews patted Luo Ming's arm: "Come, I'll introduce you." ”

"This is Michael." Stanley Matthews first introduced the veteran Carrick.

In fact, without the introduction of Stanley Matthews, the players of Paris Saint-Germain are basically stars. Aside from the small players in the reserve and youth teams, Robin didn't know anything about them.

Next, Stanley Matthews introduced Luo Ming one by one. These players are conservative or enthusiastic. The attitude towards him is also different.

Luo Ming is full of smiles and has come to a new team, and in the new environment, there is nothing better than keeping a smile.

Of course, the Paris Saint-Germain player is no stranger to him.

While Romin has not played against Paris Saint-Germain, no one can ignore a player who has scored more goals than Lionel Messi and Ronaldo in La Liga.

After a short introduction, Gary Lineker also came down from the hotel. Then the players went to the training ground.

Seattle is shining. Luo Ming and his new teammates set foot on the green grass to warm up with the assistant coach.

After all, most of the players were relaxed after the break, and they were in a very relaxed state.

However, there are also many players who are sad and worried.

Robin Alexis Sanchez's brow furrowed at the moment.

Flying purse, as I get older, can't fly anymore.

And Luo Ming's joining directly affected his status.

Obviously, the club will not put a player worth 100 million euros on the bench, and Stanley Matthews as the captain of the team, the new Gary Lineker cannot put Stanley Matthews on the bench, so Alexis Sanchez is in a very awkward position.

Robin Alexis Sanchez has been in a bad mood since he arrived. Even when he greeted him, he frowned and looked cold.
