125. Approach to genius
On July 3, Crystal Palace officially announced that they had signed a contract with Stewart. Taylor signed a three-year contract, and Stewart. Taylor was also a former Arsenal hopeful, and in the 01-02 season, the first Heman and the second Wright were injured and pushed him to the front, and he did well that season, making 17 appearances and helping the team win the Premier League title.
But that season was his most glorious moment, and since then he has not played at Arsenal due to injury, Leicester, Aston Villa, Manchester City are all substitute goalkeepers, and now that his contract with Manchester City has expired, Mader recommended him.
He has been the No. 2 and No. 3 goalkeepers for a long time, and he does not have high requirements for status, the only thing that is high is the length of the contract, he is not even 30 years old now, and naturally hopes to get a long-term contract from Crystal Palace, and his idea of wanting to keep a long-term job is completely understandable, Wen Shengyi gritted his teeth and agreed to give him a three-year contract, to be honest, this will not be done if Wenger is killed at Arsenal.
That same afternoon, Crystal Palace announced the signing of Nemanja on loan from Chelsea. Nemanja Matic, the deal is again tied by Zahavi, and his relationship with Chelsea goes without saying, and it is no problem to get a loan deal for a fringe player.
The name of Chelsea taxis began almost in the past two years, and Matic is the Matic known to Wensheng, of course, the current Matic is only 21 years old and has not yet matured.
There is a buyout clause in the loan contract, and Crystal Palace can choose to buy him out for 5 million pounds next summer, this clause is added by Wen Sheng, he actually doesn't like loan players, especially young players, and he has been on loan for a long time to raise a son for someone else?! Why bother!
Nemanja Matic is Delhi's future replacement, and that's at least what Wen Sheng has in mind.
Think about his current set of people, hehe, he has grown up for three years, and he is definitely a championship-level team, but unfortunately, he doesn't know how long these people can stay, can he stay here for three years?! It's unclear.
So he didn't say at all that he had to buy a future superstar waiting for his thighs, but now in the transfer market, he is really difficult to operate.
Personally, he would like to buy some players who can fight, but the positions of the team are basically locked, the starting lineup satisfies him, and he retains the central backbone of last season, so he is now buying a substitute.
It can't be too old or too young, it's really hard to choose people because you can't afford it (too strong to afford it) and not too weak (too weak to be up to the role), and you have to help the team form a healthy competition.
From the beginning of June to the beginning of July, they have been pursuing suitable candidates for full-backs, but they have talked a lot about it so far, and Wen Sheng is not satisfied.
Zahavi recommended Maxwell, who is a player under Raiola, this player is really good, but unfortunately the salary is not acceptable to Wen Sheng, it's not that Crystal Palace can't afford him Maxwell alone, but you define him as a member of the rotation, how can he make his salary much higher than the core.
The forward line is similar to the fullback, and it is difficult to strengthen, Wen Sheng's favorite is Manchester City's Santa Cruz, but the same salary and playing time are not negotiable, you must know that Manchester City's big tycoon gives Santa Cruz a weekly salary of up to 90,000 pounds, and Crystal Palace's current highest salary is Wen Sheng, which is only 20,000 pounds per week, Manchester City refuses to pay too much salary, Santa Cruz wants more playing time, and the loan is naturally yellow.
Wen Sheng is now more and more aware of the distress of the position of head coach, the real job is really not to play football manager, and there are many trade-offs that need to be weighed to bring in players.
Crystal Palace is not a giant, it is quite unattractive, and Wen Sheng now understands why many small clubs always have half of the old players in the lineup who are about to bury the ground, and half of them are children wearing open crotch pants.
Money is not necessarily possible, the salary structure within the team is balanced, and a large number of players have just renewed their contracts, which will obviously cause dissatisfaction among some players in the team and sow disharmony.
It is estimated that it is difficult to complete the transfer before the training camp, and Wen Sheng is a little inexplicably melancholy.
"This matter still has to talk about fate, it's useless for you to be in a hurry! I really can't transfer it from the youth team! Lawrence comforted Wen Sheng.
Wen Sheng couldn't help but think, if it really doesn't work, then transfer from the youth team, but the Crystal Palace youth training is not a high-yield academy, if there is something to see, it will be put on the test a long time ago.
......
On July 9, all the players returned to the team as scheduled, and the Crystal Palace players were accompanied by Oneu and Boateng, who belonged to the national team, and there was almost no trouble with the lack of personnel.
A number of players introduced each other in the dressing room under the leadership of Derry, Speroni and McCarthy.
It's a coincidence that the summer signings are all in English, with De Bruyne, Oneu, Nemanja Matic and Boateng all speaking English, and Mertens and Van Dijk all able to understand something.
This year's logistics are much better than last year's Warnock days, with translators and help the players find accommodation.
There is no training arrangement today, mainly for the players to do a physical examination, the physical examination equipment of Crystal Palace is too simple, Wensheng beckoned the club to make an appointment with a physical examination center in London to do a full range of physical examinations for the players.
Together, Joey's stats team and Hall will analyze each player's stats to develop an individual booster plan.
Before the report came out, Wen Sheng first called De Bruyne to his office, this kid is very boring, but it is not easy to deal with, Wen Sheng has talked to his parents before, De Bruyne is a very competitive and stubborn child.
De Bruyne's biggest problem in coming to the Premier League is his body, he is in good physical condition, but for the Premier League, he still needs to improve his physical strength, which will help him improve his fighting ability.
But will De Bruyne be receptive to too much off-ball training mode? Wen Sheng didn't dare to pack the ticket.
In his previous life, when he was under Mourinho, Mourinho once said that De Bruyne did not train hard, but De Bruyne said something else, thinking that he had completed the training task very seriously.
Wen Sheng now thinks of this rumor in the future, Wen Sheng feels that neither of them is lying, De Bruyne did complete the off-ball training subject, but it should be a perfunctory attitude.
"Kevin, how do you feel, you're used to being here!" Wen Sheng asked De Bruyne to sit down and asked nonsense with a grin.
From the fact that De Bruyne moved to Genk at the age of 14, it can be seen that he is actually a young man with self-care and adaptability.
"I'm fine, sir!" De Bruyne blushed.
"Relax, man! Come, take a saliva! Wen Sheng poured a glass of water and handed it to De Bruyne, "Very good, then no problem!" ”
De Bruyne took a sip of the water, still sullen.
"It's a period of adaptation when you come to a new environment, whether it's training or the style of the league as a whole! I've told you before that we have a fast-paced league here and a lot of physical confrontation, so you still need to gain weight and strengthen your strength now! Wen Sheng spoke more slowly, wanting to see De Bruyne's reaction.
"My legs are strong!" De Bruyne looked up and replied.
Wen Sheng smiled, "I'm not just talking about your leg strength, I said here, here..."
Wen Sheng pinched De Bruyne's arm and pointed to his abdomen and back.
I feel that Wen Sheng feels that he needs to exercise his upper body, otherwise he will definitely suffer in the confrontation.
De Bruyne frowned, he trained hard, but it was when he was training with the ball, and he didn't like it very much, it was boring and boring.
"Looks like you don't quite agree with me?!" Wen Sheng is still smiling, harmless to humans and animals.
"We kick the ball with our feet!" De Bruyne retorted with a red face.
"Well, no problem! You can train the way you want, and I wouldn't ask you to work the off-ball! When you want to change, then you change! But do you remember when I told you about your future at your house?! Wen Sheng didn't continue to persuade him, he planned to let him suffer a little.
