2. Croydon

The English league system is very complete, the Premier League, the Championship, League One, and League B are professional teams participating in the competition, the FA National League, the FA North and South Super League, the Northern League Super Group, the Southern League Super Group and the Ismien Super League Group, in turn, most of them are amateur teams, only a slightly higher level has professional teams or semi-professional teams.

Croydon has not been established for a long time, only a few decades, and is a very young team in the Croydon region, currently participating in the Ismien First Division, which is the next level of the Ismien Premier League.

Like this kind of amateur team can pay the players basically nothing, they also have a call to the weekend team, usually everyone is busy with their own time, basically can not do unified training, weekends only have time to train games.

Wensheng's idea is to change the status quo of Croydon, the strength of the team should be enhanced, and it is unreliable to rely on reinforcements because the club has no money, so it can only rely on training, and enhance the strength of the team through training, how to improve the training effect? !

Increase the training time first.

Wen Sheng is very familiar with the team of Croydon, this is his hometown team, he often goes to the club to watch games, his uncle works at the club, not to mention that his father was originally the left-back of this team.

The club's management knows him, and so do the players in the team.

After a simple breakfast and packing his luggage, Wen Sheng heard the car horn outside the door.

This is Uncle Vane. Collins brought his cousin Joey to pick him up at the club.

"Hi Danny! Good morning! "Joey is a tall man close to 1.9 meters, 18 years old this year, just graduated from high school this year, his academic performance is average, his football is average, he has no talent, but he is produced by the Croydon Academy, and he is currently working part-time as a player in the team.

Wen Sheng has a close relationship with several cousins, and Joey and him seem to be particularly good because of the football they play, after all, the two have more common language, and they have met many times in the past few days and played football together.

"Hello, Joe! You should call me the boss from now on! Wen Sheng and Joey pretended to be serious after boxing.

Many managers in England are called "bosses", but here at Croydon, everyone in the neighborhood still talks about this.

Wayne. Collins laughed in the cab first, "Hahaha, Danny, you're going to get into character very quickly!" ”

"Good morning, Uncle Vane, it's a nice day!" Wen Sheng is deliberately embarrassed to chat.

Everyone laughed.

Vane later started the car to go to the club, and the neighborhood where Wensheng lived was not far from the club, about 4 miles away, and it took more than 10 minutes to drive.

"I thought you'd turn down the job!" Wayne may never have imagined that his nephew would accept the position of interim head coach, asking questions as he drove.

"I'm a vagrant now, why would I turn down this job?!" Wen Sheng said with a smile.

"You sent a job search email to Crystal Palace and haven't received a reply yet?!" Joey asked from the side.

Wen Sheng shook his head, the cover letter was sent by Daniel, Wen Sheng has this memory, now it seems that it is not as easy as imagined to find a job in a professional team, the part-time jobs that Wen Sheng did before were all amateur team experience, otherwise it was a youth academy, and he didn't have a good resume.

"Actually, it's not bad to do it here first!" Vane said intentionally or unintentionally.

"I think so too, uncle, you can tell Mr. Smith that I can be the official head coach!" Wen Sheng is very direct, Daniel dislikes it, he doesn't dislike it.

"What you say is true?!" Both Wayne and Joey were a little overwhelmed.

"Why not?! I need a little paycheck though! Wen Sheng said.

"Ha, then I don't think Robert will agree!" Collins laughed and said that the Robert he was talking about was Croydon's elected chairman, Robert Brown. Smith, Croydon's income comes from donations and sponsorships, which is really not much.

And Croydon's level is low, although the sparrow is small, but it is full of internal organs, and there are youth academies and the like, the venue, daily training equipment, etc. are not small, where is the money to hire full-time staff, from top to bottom are part-time, and they are all the kind that do not get paid.

Because no other team has the money, Robert. Smith is definitely an iron rooster.

"It's not impossible if it's free!" Daniel's parents also left a fortune of hundreds of thousands of pounds, and Wen Sheng was not short of money for the time being, so he retreated.

"So what you said is true!" Vane only believed at this moment that what his nephew said was true, and he was really talking about the conditions just now.

"Of course, it's true! But the team should be built the way I did, and now the team is too scattered! Even if we are an amateur team, we can do better! Wen Sheng said.

"You're still young after all! Don't you understand that it's actually good for the team at the moment! Collins shook his head, and through the rearview mirror, he could see that Wen Sheng and Joey were both confused.

"Danny, we're a community team, we're not chasing the pleasure of results, most of us are chasing the joy of football! And don't you know that once we upgrade, our operating costs will increase a lot?! That's not a small amount! It's better not to upgrade than to upgrade! ”

Wen Sheng and Joey don't know much about team operations, and now Collins' statement can be described as an eye-opener for Wen Sheng.

Wen Sheng understood, according to what his uncle meant, in fact, everyone doesn't pay much attention to the results, mainly for fun, and the upgrade will increase the cost, and the team will go bankrupt if it is not upgraded.

I'll go! Wen Sheng scolded in his heart, it seems that he really thinks too little.

In more than ten minutes, he arrived at the club, and Wen Sheng also figured out a lot of things, but anyway, since he agreed to be the interim head coach, and it was the first time to lead the team, he had to do his best to do a good job in pre-season training, and the team at least couldn't be relegated, right!

Croydon FC's office building is connected to their home stadium, and there is also an academy, a secondary school, training ground, and so on.

Wayne parked the car, and Joey went to training with his gear.

Vane took his nephew to see Robert first. Smith.

Smith is a short, stocky man in his sixties, and he grew up watching Wensheng (Daniel), who also spent his time in the Croydon Academy as a child.

"Daniel, it's nice to see you again!" Smith held Wen Sheng and said, "Your father was one of us. Now that you're willing to be a part-time head coach, you've done us a great favor! I don't want to be the laughing stock of the fans! ”

Smith meant to say that he was afraid of the team's relegation to the second division.

Wayne. What Collins said about Wensheng is that it is true that everyone doesn't care so much about promotion, but it is also true that they don't want to be relegated, so the team can't really mess around and let it go, the head coach can't be less, and the training can't be less.

You Croydon don't want to be promoted, it doesn't mean that the other teams in the South League have the same idea, people are working hard, you don't work hard, then it may really be you who are relegated.

"Hello Mr. Smith, I'm just temporary head coach, I can only say do my best so that everyone doesn't waste in the truce!" Wen Sheng is actually not so strong about being the head coach of Croydon now, it is very simple, the whole body has an attitude of not seeking relegation or promotion, what future can there be here, it is better to wait for the interim head coach to end and go to the professional team to find a job.

There are so many professional teams in England, Wen Sheng doesn't believe that he can't find one to take him in, don't forget that he came from ten years later, and he has a lot of dry goods in his head.

High school student Wen Sheng has gradually sobered up, and he now feels that it is really unreasonable for him to be the head coach with a certificate, and he is destined to have no good results, and the experience is too lacking, so it is better to do auxiliary work and accumulate a year or two of experience before talking about anything else.
