Chapter 12: New Colleagues

Hydward still got up early, his upper and lower eyelids still fighting, and his head nodded like a chick. Yesterday at 11 o'clock after the training came home, watching the video in the middle of the night, Richards improved very quickly, he needed to shoot a lot, but the tacit understanding of cooperation still needs to be cultivated.

After sitting on the bed for a while, I got up to get dressed and washed, and had breakfast, the team actually has a canteen, but I can't afford to hire a cook, and the players' lunch, including the coach's lunch, is solved by themselves.

It's a bit miserable for a Championship team to be mixed up like this, and athletes have high food requirements. Taking simple food calories as an example, since the players in training and games consume a lot of energy, only timely replenishment can meet their normal needs and protect their abundant athletic capacity and necessary energy reserves. However, too many calories can lead to increased body fat, body weight, and reduced exercise capacity.

Therefore, the athlete's diet must be reasonable, and it should vary from person to person and from event to event.

Everyone has to have their own recipes, hard training, and everything is in vain if you don't eat the right things.

Today in the team Ward arranged an interview, he has to recruit two chefs, one is responsible for nutrition and one taste, the time is scheduled in the morning, and he is still paying.

…………

Ward doesn't get a penny paid at Portsmouth.

He just came quietly, with a non-existent contract, with a false certificate.

Owner Antonov has prepared a new coach for Portsmouth, Michael Appler, a typical English academy, Ward has seen it once from afar, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking suave, and legend has it that he is also an academy expert.

His CV is full of 23 pages of A4 pages, as well as a plan for Portsmouth's rejuvenation reform over the next four years, and a brief description of his youth achievements over the years, although Hydward has never heard of these names.

The Russian oligarchs would not have imagined that the signing contract sent out would turn around and end up in Ward's computer.

Michael was lied to, Antonov was lied to, the players were lied to, everyone was lied to.

Hydward was a hairy boy through and through, reckless, and even reckless into the world of football.

He's trained and he's even won races and wants to win more.

For this reason, Hydward does not mind taking all his savings out and taking a big gamble.

Unfortunately Antonov will be released on bail next year, fortunately Antonov will only be released on bail next year, lucky or unlucky, who knows?

…………

After all, it was his own money, and Ward provoked the chef to be very serious, and although he had some breakfast, he still asked the two Chinese and two Frenchmen who applied for the job to make some food each.

These in front of him attracted the attention of almost all the players, and the fragrance made Ricardo's hara flow out.

The steamed buns on the table were shiny with oil, and some juice under the crystal soup skin seemed to be about to break; There is also a dish of fried liver tips next to the steamer, and the yellow oil of the green pork liver of the green pepper is like a match made in heaven; The thinly boiled millet porridge exudes an intoxicating aroma, and there are some knife-cut crumbs on the golden plate fried in the pancakes; Beans, pickles, dried radishes, and all kinds of side dishes are dazzling.

Hydward picked up the chopsticks very professionally, picked them up, gently twisted them slowly, and the strength was just right, and the xiaolongbao seemed to be whimpering, and slowly put it into a small dish with ginger vinegar and garbage, slowly moved it, and put it away as soon as it was touched. Put it to the mouth and open the lips and teeth, lick it gently, bite it, the meatballs shake in the soup, and the aroma is already irrepressible. When I put my mouth up and sucked the xiaolongbao, I was already soft and drunk, closed my eyes, and put the whole piece in my mouth, which was a supreme enjoyment.

This is the craft of the Chinese chef, the master whose surname is Yang Mingdianqiu, is the chef of the local Chinatown restaurant, and he is in his early fifties this year.

He was followed by his apprentice Wang Hui, and the beautiful side dishes were his works.

Master Yang was still shocked, the brown-haired foreigner made chopsticks like this6, he had never seen a few in his life, and the way to taste xiaolongbao was also very professional. It's not like the short foreigner with a harass, who doesn't care about the heat, and directly pinched the top of the xiaolongbao and sent it to his mouth.

The bar is still swearing in English, but Chef Yang also understands that the scolding here is probably like the Chinese diners in the restaurant shouting "really TM delicious".

It is common for foreigners to eat Chinese food, but the most exposed to it is probably noodles and steamed buns, like Chef Yang's cooking, which makes the players very novel.

The French makes very hot flavors, and he seems to like sweet and sour things, and they are very sweet and sour. Cheese and well-prepared sandwiches are served with milk, too traditional to be served in a traditional continental breakfast.

It's a pity that it's really not right for Hydward's appetite, he is a foreigner's body, a Chinese's stomach.

"Master Yang, if it's convenient, you can come to work today"

Ward also hired the Chinese chef directly, and Chef Yang asked for a much lower salary than the French, plus he really needed a chef.

Ward's words were in English, and he quickly repeated them in Chinese, pretending to be a small force in front of the players.

"Lao Yang, welcome to join my coaching staff" The two shook hands and were officially recruited.

Walker took the players around the kitchen away, and the energy of these people was like a sponge that had sucked water.

Yesterday, he looked like he was going to die or live, and he immediately came alive early this morning.

Especially the players who started during the game, even the substitute Ricciardo looked in a good mood, the training time was not long, but the team's starting XI should have been decided, especially if it was a win.

This week, in addition to physical training, there will be a little more training with the ball, and the players' defensive motivation has changed a lot, but the construction of the defensive system is still zero. It's a long process, and there's no hurry, Portsmouth can stop Barnsley's indiscriminate bombardment, so what to do when they meet Reading, a team that has been exceptionally strong this season, the Hammers help West Ham United, and the sworn rival Southampton?

Even if you don't mention these upgrade favorites, Crystal Palace, Leicester and Steve's Nottingham Forest can all teach Portsmouth how to behave today.

Win every relegation opponent in the remaining games, and rush to teams like Leeds United and Burnley, and there is any hope of relegation, otherwise everything is empty talk.

Again, the defensive system is based on Haim at its core, with Margery and Jonathan presenting a triangle at the back.

Haim intercepted, Maghri stepped in to help defend, Jonathan swept, and the responsibilities of the backfield became clear first.
