It was an open training day.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the first team training ground officially opened, and fans poured in to buy tickets, and there were a lot of fans who came, roughly estimated to be one or two thousand, or the result of the limited number of people.

It's not just the support of the fans for the club, there are some other factors, Newcastle United's open training, a bit like a 'travel fair', not only the fans, but also a lot of visitors to Newcastle, because Newcastle United is connected to St James's Park, the first team training ground is next to the main stadium, and fans can not only watch the first team train, but also visit the St James' Park next to it.

James Park is Newcastle's largest city park, with a beautiful environment that attracts a lot of people to relax and recreate during the holidays, and can support tens of thousands of people to do activities.

All of the above are factors that make open training popular.

Of course.

The most important thing is that Newcastle United is still the first-team player, and many Newcastle fans want to watch the team train up close.

There were a lot of fans and a lot of journalists.

Many reporters come to the club early, and before the fans buy tickets and enter the stadium, the reporters have already entered in advance, set up equipment in a good angle, and prepare to fight for a long time, and take good photos to report.

Competition among journalists is also fierce.

There is no 'reporter level' for public training, and reporters who come to interview and shoot do not have a seat position prepared in advance, so they need to find their own position and angle, and it is very important to find a good position in advance when they enter early.

The number of journalists also reflects the level of attention that Newcastle United are taking.

The more attention you get, the more journalists will come.

Contrarily.

The arrival of a large number of journalists will also bring more attention, the two are mutually reinforcing, Newcastle United also attach great importance to open training, chairman Michael Ashley came to appear early, he stood in the most dazzling position on the sidelines, as if to watch the team training, to express the importance of daily training.

The reporter's talk also mentioned Ashley, "I didn't expect Ashley to come, the average club president, but not to watch the training." ”

"Probably because of the open training."

"Newcastle United's good results now have something to do with the club's decision-making, and Ashley's biggest contribution is the decision to bring in Zhen Shaolong. The decision was a wise one. ”

This is the general perception of the outside world.

Ordinary fans of Newcastle United don't know Michael Asley, only know that he is a famous sports investor, but the media knows Ashley very well, they know that Ashley is a pure 'sports businessman', a lot of investment is placed in the sports industry, there are several clubs under his name, Newcastle United is just one of his investments.

Investment, naturally, is to make money.

Some fans hope that Ashley will use his personal assets to continue to support the development of Newcastle United, which is very unrealistic, Ashley will also invest, but he will certainly not invest endlessly, he invests to make money, to let the club create income.

Such a 'sports businessman', making the decision to introduce Zhen Shaolong is still very remarkable, and what makes people look at it is Zhen Shaolong's transfer and contract.

That's a real big deal.

Although Newcastle United Club and Zhen Shaolong himself did not disclose the specific salary, Ashley dared to say that 'it may be the highest salary in the Premier League', the annual salary must be more than 8 million pounds, 8 million pounds a year, and 32 million pounds in four years, plus signing fees, transfer fees and other miscellaneous expenses, Zhen Shaolong's transfer is conservatively estimated to be a big deal of more than 60 million pounds.

Sixty million pounds!

The world's top stars are definitely worth the price, but Zhen Shaolong is only 20 years old, and he has only one season of experience in the top league, even if he performs crazy, there is still a lot of uncertainty when he comes to the Premier League.

For example, Zhen Shaolong has not adapted to the Premier League for a long time, and 60 million pounds have been lost, and many media have expressed their opinion that 'Ash has made a crazy bet'.

Ashley's bet was successful.

Zhen Shaolong continued his crazy performance, Newcastle United's results also improved, and even showed the temperament of competing for the championship.

At this time.

Ashley stood on the sidelines, with his back to the media and fans, a satisfied smile on his face.

Life is all about saving face!

When wealth has accumulated to his extent, property can really be described as 'cold numbers', investment must be profitable, but in the process of making money, it can still be praised by the outside world, and there is nothing better than this.

Standing here now, he feels like a success.

Finally, the players entered.

One by one, the players walked out of the dressing room and went to the training ground to prepare for training, for them, there is no difference between open training and closed training, they are all training under the guidance of the coach.

In the course of the season, adjusting the state is the most important thing, and the training is still mainly based on the warm-up, and some 'spectatorial' training may be arranged, such as small-scale confrontations, but it is also within the framework of daily training, which does not affect the normal training.

Most of the players are doing normal.

But there were still players who felt nervous, Smith walked next to Zhen Shaolong inch by inch, when he looked in the direction of the fans, he would show a smile, and when he passed by Ashli, he also said hello to Mr. Chairman, but in fact, his heart was filled with nervousness, and he kept bowing his head and whispering, "Zhen, are we going to do that?" ”

"Of course."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"But...... That's stupid......"

Zhen Shaolong stopped and said solemnly, "I was originally against it, I just wanted to shout a slogan, but you all agree with James, it's too late to quit now." ”

"Yes, I have to participate, I can't wait!" Milner walked from behind him, his face full of excitement and anticipation.

Patton and N'Zogbia also came over.

The two of them were expressionless, and they didn't know whether they were nervous or expectant, but they were probably more nervous, and it was a normal person who faced so much attention and would feel embarrassed like Smith if he wanted to do that kind of funny thing.

Zhen Shaolong was also embarrassed, but he wanted to experiment with activating skills.

Barton and N'Zogbia are the kind of people who 'go with the flow', they have been involved in it, and when they found out that Zhen Shaolong and Milner decided to continue, they decided to do it together.

Five people anyway.

Afraid of what?

Only Milner showed excitement and anticipation, and Zhen Shaolong's understanding of this is that Milner is like a child, and he loves cartoons when he was young, so he wants to experience it for real.

Either way, it's definitely too late to quit.

What was planned and rehearsed just now, even if it is embarrassing, must continue.

Several people went to the training ground together.

When most of the players entered the training ground, it was almost time to assemble, and Cavroma ran up, blew the whistle and gathered everyone together, and began to warm up for the start of training.

The warm-up lasted half an hour.

After that, the arrangement is free time, which almost means that the players can 'play the ball' at will, and it is best to 'play' for the spectacle to meet the needs of onlookers and reporters.

Some players practice passing.

Some players organize to make soccer games.

Zhen Shaolong and Barton gathered together, they stood farther away, and began to proceed as planned.

Five people stood in a row.

Zhen Shaolong took two steps forward, stood in place with his hands on his chest, the expression on his face was serious and serious, and then Barton took two steps forward, stood beside Zhen Shaolong, raised his fists and shouted, "In order to promote sportsmanship!" ”

Next was N'Zogbia, who stood on Barton's left and said in a slightly smaller voice, "For the fairness and justice of football!" ”

This sentence is said to be ashamed.

"Stop!"

Milner shouted, immediately reminding Enzobia, "Be careful with your voice, it must be high and high." And emotes! You are shouting slogans, very powerful slogans, what is there to be ashamed of! ”

"Seriously! Be confident! ”

"Do it all over again!"

Enzobia retreated depressedly, re-walked to the position he had just been, and shouted loudly, "For the fairness and justice of football!" ”

"Good! That's it! It's even better to put a POSS on the table! ”

Next up is Smith.

Smith walked over and stood on Zhen Shaolong's side, making a gesture that he thought was very handsome, but actually very low, and shouted, "Implement the concept of higher, faster, stronger!" ”

Milner followed, standing next to Smith, "We are ......"

"Zhen Shaolong, who has the highest appearance!" Zhen Shaolong recited the only line, accompanied by a gesture representing victory.

"The most charismatic Alan Smith!"

"Joey Patton with the hardest fist!"

"Fastest James Milner!"

"And me, 'Little Whirlwind' Charles Nzogia!"

When Enzobia finished speaking, Milner immediately followed, shouting, "We are ......"

Everyone shouted in unison, "Newcastle United's lucky combination!" ”

When a set of actions was over, several people suddenly burst out laughing, Smith looked left and right, as if he was worried that someone would look at him, in fact, several people are core players, and they can attract attention wherever they stand, and it is impossible to want no one to pay attention.

Everyone saw it.

Fans are still discussing, "What about see? Zhen Shaolong's side! What are they doing? ”

"Looks like you're shouting something."

"Rehearsing a play?"

"Maybe it's a game? I don't know, how did they stand so far......"

Meantime.

Zhen Shaolong found that the system did not prompt, and immediately felt that Milner's plan was inferior, and the lines that he thought were very handsome could not even impress the system.

What's the use of that?

"Otherwise, do it again, it's incoherent just now!" Milner seemed to be having fun.

Smith's face darkened.

Barton and Enzobia looked left and right, and they also felt a little embarrassed, but Zhen Shaolong supported Milner, "We're trying, this time it's more coherent." ”

Next time.

Let's go!

————

After the warm-up, Allardyce stood on the sidelines, standing with Ashley, and said about the team's recent training, "Everyone is serious and hardworking. ”

"The atmosphere in the team is very good!"

"Because there's healthy competition, everybody wants to play more......"

Sam Allardyce said about the experience of 'shooting the lineup', "You have to give everyone a chance, and you can't always give a player a chance, except for Zhen Shaolong, of course, Mr. Ashley, his performance is too good." ”

"Zhen is also a very disciplined player, I dare say he is the hardest working ......"

Sam Allardyce was hoping to put the credit on the 'good training atmosphere' and then noticed a group of people pointing in the direction of the southwest corner of the pitch.

He looked over.

Ashley also noticed and immediately asked, "What are they doing?" Zhen seems to be there too? ”

"I'll take a look."

Allardyston's face darkened, and the realistic slap in the face made him feel shameless.

When he walked over quickly, he found several people, who were saying inexplicable lines, interspersed with shameless boasting, and when a few lines were over, he immediately stood behind Milner, and asked with a dark face, "What are you doing!" ”

Milner was taken aback!

Smith let out a long breath, feeling that the 'embarrassing show' was coming to an end.

Zhen Shaolong didn't speak.

Barton didn't seem to realize he was lazy, and he said eloquently, "Sir, we're training!" ”

"Training?"

"Yes!" "We're training to increase our luck. Sir, luck is also very important in the game, and we try to increase our luck in this way than to practice anything else. ”

Allardyce's brain was dazed for a moment, and then he almost didn't hold back his breath, "Training...... Increase luck? What the hell is this! ”

He was so angry that he was angry, and even more angry, Patton's expression was very serious, as if he was talking about the 'real thing'.

Allardyce felt that his IQ had been severely humiliated by his ancestors, his face turned red like a boiled crab, and he immediately pointed angrily at the court, "Joey! Go for a lap! Five laps! ”

"Don't ask why! No reason! ”

"And you!"

"Don't be lazy at all, I'll take a good look at it next to me!"

————

When Zhen Shaolong and the others were 'implicated' by Barton and ran circles around the court depressed, Allardyce was much more depressed than them, he felt like an excellent teacher, teaching a super excellent class, but when the superiors came to check, the outstanding students in the class were all 'deliberately' looking for trouble.

It's no wonder that superiors can make a good impression!

In addition, Allardyce also found a serious problem, he could not make a higher punishment, and letting a few people run a few laps was already the most severe punishment.

Because......

He can't help it!

Several people are the core stars of the team, and the clubs and fans are unwilling to let them play, and they should pay attention to training on weekdays, so that they can try to maintain a good condition, like Zhen Shaolong, he is afraid that it will affect his physical recovery after running a few more laps.

It's so depressing.

As the head coach of the team, he must establish majesty, but judging from the current situation, he has no way to establish majesty for Zhen Shaolong, Smith and others.

"What should I do?"

"How can we establish majesty?" Allardyce fell into thought.

Meantime.

During Zhen Shaolong's lap running, he couldn't help but open the system, because he received a system prompt--

"The host's team promotes sportsmanship and successfully activates the Spirit of Football!"

Zhen Shaolong didn't want to complain.

Milner's 'rehearsal', something that is embarrassing to death, secondary two to death, can impress the system and is considered to promote sportsmanship?

The system is not reliable!

The system is used to being unreliable, and it is more important to see the effect of new skills--

"Spirit of Football: Active Status.

Number of players: five.

Team members: Zhen Shaolong, Alan Smith, Joey Barton, Charles N'Zogbia, James Milner.

Players enjoy the ability: 1, hit the goal frame or the goalkeeper of the ball, will be towards the nearest team member, the route force correction of 5 degrees.

2. Team members' shots enjoy one-tenth of the effect of "Calibration" skills.

3. The body of the team members is protected, and the chance of injury is reduced to a certain extent.

Time remaining for activation: 42 minutes and 37 seconds. ”
