3. The beginning of a coaching career

"Joe, where's Daniel?!"

"This kid won't regret it, right?!"

"Did he get an invitation from Crystal Palace?!"

Thanks to Joey. Collins' big mouth, almost all the players on the team knew that Daniel had submitted a job application to Crystal Palace, and they also knew that Daniel was about to be the team's interim coach, and when Joey came to the training ground, the players surrounded Joey and asked questions.

"Danny and Daddy have gone to see Mr. Smith! Rest assured, he will definitely come! It's just to lead everyone to train and train, Daniel won't refuse, anyway, this is our hometown team! Joey said with a grin.

The group of players are all Croydon natives, and they don't live far from each other, so some of them are neighbors and colleagues.

I am very familiar with Wen Sheng, I know the roots, and there are one or two of them who have obtained a coaching certificate, but when it comes to coaching experience, Wen Shengduo really does not focus on coaching, and the club has a heavy responsibility for relegation, and these two have no confidence in themselves and dare not come to be the head coach.

Everyone is talking about what kind of new ideas Daniel will bring to everyone, prepare for the pre-season and cope with the new season.

Of course, Joey doesn't know, he hasn't been exposed to much coaching things, he is a spinning top in the team, the coach whips a whip, he just turns around, and he usually doesn't know Wensheng's specific thoughts when he is in contact with Wen Sheng.

Donald. Hawking is forty years old, but he is still a member of the team, serving as the captain of the team, seeing that the time is almost up, he beckons everyone to warm up quickly, after all, as a weekend team has little training time, and now it is not serious to talk about when?!

Do you lie in bed every night and dream about it?!

The warm-up is not over yet, Robert. Smith and Vane. Chris took Daniel to the training ground, and the players immediately stopped warming up, and everyone greeted the three of them and gathered around.

Wen Sheng complained in his heart, look at it, this is an amateur team!

On the surface, Croydon has a very complete organizational structure, with all kinds of internal organs, and the management seems to be standardized, but the core first-team training management is too casual and has no discipline at all.

That's why a lot of aspiring professional coaches don't want to go to amateur teams, because it's hard to change.

"Alright, alright! Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! As you all know, our search for a head coach is not going well, so in order not to affect the team's pre-season preparation, we invited Daniel to lead everyone to train and prepare for the new season! Smith gestured to everyone to introduce Wen Sheng.

"Haha, as for Daniel, I don't think I need to introduce too much, right?!" Maybe because he was too familiar, Smith's introduction of Wen Sheng also seemed very casual.

After a few words of nonsense about obeying Daniel's arrangement, Smith puffed up his stomach and talked to Vane. Collins is gone, leaving Wensheng and the players behind.

"Let's welcome Daniel to the board with a round of applause!" The old captain Stephen Hawking smiled and led the way in applauding, and the others followed suit with applause and whistles, with Joey working hardest.

"Well, thank you! It's a pleasure to see you again! Mr. Hawking probably grew up watching me too! Wen Sheng's words caused a burst of laughter from everyone.

"To be honest, I don't have much experience, after all, it's my first time as a manager of a team, and I hope everyone will take care of me and support me! I hope we can have a great time working together! Wen Sheng didn't go into a long speech, Collins's words were still echoing in his mind this morning, he didn't know what to say for the time being, and he needed to organize his thoughts and words.

For example, how to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for training?!

How do I schedule my training?!

How do you tell everyone that you're going to cancel your weekend training mode?!

Sent everyone to continue to warm up, Wen Sheng squatted next to him and took out a notebook to write and draw, the arrangement of the training session was actually done by him a long time ago, and Daniel's memories of the training session existed in his mind, which was also mixed with some of the experience that Wen Sheng had learned in later generations, and he now mainly wrote some drafts of speeches.

After the warm-up, Wen Sheng still hadn't written it yet, and then he proposed: "I haven't designed the training course yet, or let's play an internal warm-up game first!" ”

Naturally, the proposal was well received, and the vast majority of professional players don't like boring training sessions, but that's their job and they have to accept it.

Professional players don't like training sessions, let alone amateur players and grassroots players, and it's best not to train at all, even if everyone knows the benefits of training sessions.

An 11-on-11 training match began on the training ground, and Croydon had so many players that there were almost 30 players in the first team, so there were a few substitutes left on the sidelines.

Wen Sheng sat on the bench on the side of the training ground and still wrote and drawn, probably clarified his thoughts, and then focused on watching the game, as a coach, he must learn to watch the game, especially to understand his own team.

Daniel had watched a lot of Croydon's games before, and had a preliminary understanding of these players, Wensheng combined Daniel's previous cognition and then looked at the scene, and suddenly the situation of the team players was much more three-dimensional.

As the eighth level of the league, there is no such lofty thing as televising, and the club will not record the game, so how much does it cost, and the most intuitive understanding of the team has to be recognized through the game.

The level of English football is very high, the standard of amateur players is also very good, Wensheng has enough knowledge through Daniel's memories and the scene at this time, but he can also see some shortcomings of Croydon.

Not to mention the technical aspects of the players, no matter how strong they are, there is a limit, and they can't be compared with professional players, especially some older players in the team, you can't make them improve a lot, because they are old and their physical functions can't be compared with young people.

Speaking of tactical discipline, the Croydon players who are warming up at the moment seem to be more disciplined than in China, but it can still be attributed to the lack of tactical discipline.

Some players have talent, and coaches have talent.

Wen Sheng's memories and Daniel's learning in his previous life slowly merged, and watching the game in the stadium at this moment actually made Wen Sheng have a sudden feeling of enlightenment, he couldn't describe this feeling, but he himself could realize that maybe being a coach is not so difficult.

"Even as an interim coach, I might be able to improve the team a lot!" Wen Sheng seemed to have regained his confidence.

……

"How are you feeling?!" Wen Sheng smiled and handed water to the players who had left the game at the end of the thirty minutes.

"It feels pretty good!"

"The rabbit's goal is beautiful!"

"Tom is so vicious! My chest still hurts, damn it, it's a foul, do you want to kill me?! ”

The players were also very casual, commenting on the game just now, and most of them thought it was very cool, and sure enough, everyone enjoyed the game.

"If you really think you're doing well, then hehe, I'd say the team is really finished, and next season our fans may not have to travel far to see your away games!" Wen Sheng said solemnly after letting everyone be quiet.

"You mean we're going to be downgraded?!"

"God, last season was just an accident!"

"Norwood is a stupid pig, and his plan is shit!"

"We're not bad! Look, we'll be able to surpass this season! ”

The players began to chirp again, but behind their backs accusing the former manager, Wen Sheng didn't like to hear it.

"Quiet! Be quiet! Ladies and gentlemen! Let's hear what Daniel has to say, he's the head coach now! Captain Hawking obviously realized that everyone didn't take Wen Sheng too seriously, and hurriedly greeted.

Everyone quieted down at this time, staring at Daniel, familiar and familiar, be careful that I sue you for slander!

"Seriously, I don't think your game is a matter of one or two days! The team was almost relegated last season, I don't understand where you got your confidence?! Confidence in the mystery! Ladies and gentlemen, the league is about to start, and the new season is very difficult for us, don't you know that in the league is like a boat sailing against the current, you will retreat?! Wen Sheng spread his hands and looked like he was loveless.

"It's good to have self-confidence, and it's good to have a sense of satisfaction, but it's not advisable to be overconfident and lower your own requirements! Not to mention far away, let's just talk about Crystal Palace a few miles away, they were just an amateur team back then, people can get to this day, don't you want to do better as neighbors?! ”

"We don't have the luxury of becoming a professional team, but at least we can strive for the best amateur team!"
