Prozone sent two data analysts to join Wensheng's coaching team, Wensheng assigned them to Joey's data analysis team to form a coaching staff, specifically responsible for game data collection and statistical analysis, Joy's coaching certificate is the lowest level, Wensheng hopes that Joey can continue to learn coaching knowledge, because only in this way will his thinking not just stay on cold data.

At a family gathering in June, he talked to Joey very seriously about his requirements, and he told Joey that he didn't want Joey to be a simple data analyst, and he thought that Joey should understand the actual situation of the team, and combine the actual situation to filter and analyze the data and provide a basis for decision-making.

Regarding the coaching team, Wen Sheng finally had some contacts in his circle, and with the help of Hodgson, Wen Sheng successfully persuaded Southampton's goalkeeper coach Malcolm. Webster joins the team.

As for the physical fitness coach, Wen Sheng simply recruited with great fanfare, and he did not set too many conditions in the recruitment notice, but in the selection of interviewers, he privately made requirements for the staff, and those who entered the interview need to have a CSCS certificate from the NSCA (American Physical Fitness Association), and have more than three years of work experience in football physical training.

In fact, football physical trainers do not need any CSCS certificate, if the head coach is willing, it is no problem to have a certificate or not, the FA or UEFA also have similar special certificates, but Wensheng does not recognize those, he needs a professional and scientific training method, rather than relying on experience.

The interview was all done by Wen Sheng himself, and he interviewed a total of seven people, and finally admitted Bullock. Hall.

Bullock. Hall, who is only 32 years old, has just obtained his CSCS certificate, has previously worked in a fitness club and a football club for a while, and Wensheng is more in line with Wensheng's tastes when he meets him in person.

The physical training of football players also has certain particularities, Wen Sheng can't say that he is completely satisfied with this candidate, but he can also try to use it, maybe it is much better than he imagined.

He originally wanted to recruit another "old cadre", and the two of them were jointly responsible for physical training, but then after thinking about it, he was worried that the gap between the two lives would not be conducive to the development of work, so he had to give up. Hall coaches and the coaching courses he attends have a physical training component in their own right.

At the beginning of July, Wen Sheng has returned to work at the Beckenham training base, and the team will assemble for summer training on July 9, but the work of the coaching staff will definitely sit ahead.

As for the coaching staff, of course, they also have to work with Wensheng, and the coaching staff held their first meeting in the conference room on July 2.

"Alright, the people have arrived." Wen Sheng looked around and smiled easily, "There are old people and newcomers in our team, let's introduce ourselves first and get to know each other!" ”

"I won't introduce it, I think you all know each other!" Wen Sheng's words caused everyone to chuckle.

Along the way, Lawrence and others introduced themselves, and everyone had a preliminary understanding.

After everyone finished the introduction, Wen Sheng said with a smile: "From now on, we will have to eat in the same pot." Matt: They all know that the most important thing for me is team spirit, and now that we are together, I hope that each of you can remember that everything is for the team, it doesn't matter if there are disputes and disagreements, but don't delay work because of disputes and disagreements. ”

"In the future, if there is a disagreement, my decision is final, and you must carry it out! May I? Wen Sheng stared at everyone solemnly.

"Understood!"

"Okay!"

It is the right thing to do to maintain the authority of the head coach, and if the new arrivals Hall and Webster do not respect Wensheng's authority, they really don't need to come to this team.

Hearing everyone's affirmative answers, Wen Sheng smiled with satisfaction, "Now it's much stronger than last season, we had three or four coaching staff last season, Matt and Sean are still players, and now we have added Dane and Bullock, the team has grown, I, ah, have more confidence in the new season!" ”

Matt, Hawking, the three old men all laughed, in fact, the lack of people in the coaching staff is mainly goalkeeper coaches and physical trainers, generally small clubs can not be equipped with these two positions, but Crystal Palace is not small, should be equipped, last season Speroni and Flahavin The three goalkeepers were trained by themselves under the leadership of Speroni for most of the season, and it is really hard to say whether the effect is good or not.

As for physical fitness, the team was already in the middle of the season at that time, and Wen Sheng also knew how to train in this area, and barely maintained the past.

With professional help, Wensheng is indeed more confident about the new season.

After a brief understanding, Wen Sheng began to assign everyone's tasks.

Lawrence and Stephen Hawking assisted Wensheng in the development and implementation of the training plan, including the management of personnel.

Joey is responsible for leading Prozone's data analysts in data analysis, and Joey also needs to conduct pre-match scouting and analysis of opponents.

Strength and conditioning coach Hall is in charge of the physical training plan, of course, his plan is to be integrated into the team's training syllabus, Wensheng assigned him, Lawrence, and Hawking to come up with a preliminary plan first.

Why the preliminary plan? Because Hall is new to the team, he doesn't know the basic physical state and adaptation intensity of the team's personnel, and the only thing he can refer to is the plan when Warnock led the team to summer training last season, but it's been a year, and Wen Sheng doesn't think it's a plan for the team's summer training.

Goalkeeper coach Webster is mainly responsible for the training of goalkeepers, and Wen Sheng told him to listen to the opinions of the players and communicate more with the players in the formulation of the training plan.

Webster is also an old man, although he dug it up, but he still understands the reason, Wensheng doesn't want him to have a dislike with Speroni.

Before he came, Wen Sheng made it clear that he hoped that Webster could continue Speroni's competitive form, and cultivating new talents was not the focus at all.

After assigning the work, Wen Sheng began to explain to everyone about his tactical vision for the new season, last season was limited by the problems on the defensive line, and also limited by the requirements of the results, Wen Sheng tended to be conservative in his tactical style.

The new season is the first year that Crystal Palace have been promoted to the Premier League, but they need to play a lot of games, similar to the big teams in the Premier League, the team has a big test, and the task of relegation is still difficult.

Wensheng will not take risks, the new season Crystal Palace's tactics will continue in the style of the Championship, but he intends to make some attempts in the new season, for example, the ball competition near the midfield can be a little more proactive, last season Crystal Palace's midfield defensive strategy was most of the time to interfere and delay, Kante, Derry, Ndiaye interception and tackle the core area is not near the center circle, but about 10 meters outside the penalty area.

In addition, with Mertens on the left side and De Bruyne on the right side of the new season, Wensheng hopes to be sharper in attack, and last season's wingers were not up to Wensheng's expectations in terms of passing standards and scoring ability, whether it was Daenes, Smith or Scunnel, and Zaha's passing ability and scoring ability.

In the new season, Wen Sheng has high expectations for the combination of Mertens and De Bruyne, one is that their ability to make cakes can be reflected, and Boateng and Vardy can have more opportunities to eat cakes, and the other is that the two of them can relieve the pressure of scoring goals in the front line, and they can step up when Vardy is not working.

In short, the attack line should bloom more and not stand alone.

"I have only one requirement for the two wing-backs in the new season, seek stability!" "The Premier League is a completely different league from the Champions League, we all know that many of them are good at creating killing opportunities on the wing, and we have to pay more attention to the defense on the wing. ”

Last season, a lot of the backcourt route was straight out of the wing, and there was a lot of direct contact between the full-backs and the wingers, and Hills and Klein ran up and down frequently, and they pressed very high when it was time to assist, otherwise where did Klein get so many assists?!

But in the face of a more difficult league in the new season, it is better to be a little bolder.

As for receiving the ball in the front court, Wen Sheng hopes to strengthen the dredging and tandem of the midfield, of course, things on the football field are ever-changing, and Wen Sheng does not want the two full-backs to stiffen, he will just make them pay more attention to defense in tactical lessons.

Everyone didn't have many opinions, Wensheng began to think about the new season after the holiday, and many places were thinking very comprehensively, and the key implementation still depends on the state of the players, the players are not in good shape, and no matter how good the arrangement is, it is in vain.

"If there are no opinions, everyone will carry out their work according to the tactical plan! Once you've made your training plan, give it to me! Summer training physical reserve is the key! Well, Bullock, a lot of the team is a young man, you have to think about how to improve their physical strength, you need to gain weight, but you can't lose speed and agility! ”

Bullock. Hall nodded, his major in college was actually a nutritionist, and then he slowly changed his career to become a physical trainer, which was one of the reasons why Wen Sheng hired him.
