Chapter 206: Collective Training

Millwall's ensemble training begins.

One by one, the players came to the club, more than half of them were veterans, they knew each other well, they greeted each other when they saw each other, talked about some holiday things, and many talked about new players and talked about the club's summer transfers.

This topic is heavy for veteran players, because every time there are familiar people leaving.

Of course, there are also new arrivals.

Jamie Vardy has integrated into the squad at breakneck speed, and he was one of the first to arrive, having been on the training ground for a few days and knew every player who came early.

Not only the new players who arrived early, but Livermore also helped introduce the old players.

Vardy has an interesting personality, he is easily accepted by others and his name is easily remembered.

Others are different.

For example, Darren Bent, Wes Morgan, and Alan Hutton, they are not familiar with the others, they only stand from a distance, and they will only say a few words to each other, because they are all 'newcomers' in the team, and they seem to be on the same side.

Zhang Yang came a little late.

By the time Zhang Yang arrived at the club, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, and the gathering time was set at half past eight, but because it was the first day, most of the people had already arrived, so he rushed to the first-team training ground before he had time to eat breakfast.

"Aldous, assemble everyone!" Zhang Yang saw Aldous and gave orders directly.

Zhang Yang looked at the players one by one, and suddenly felt a little excited, the new season is coming, Millwall is going to participate in the Premier League, and if he wants to lead the team to play against those strong teams, he can't control the acceleration of the flow of blood.

That's worth the wait!

Zhang Yang is a little eager to start the new season, but he knows that if he wants to play well, preparation is very crucial, and in the next month, the team will have to prepare for the preparation, and only with sufficient preparation will they have a better chance of beating one opponent after another.

When everyone gathered, Zhang Yang stood up.

Everyone looked at him.

Of course, those veteran players are nothing, and they have some feelings when they have seen Darren Bent and Vardy, but players such as Wes Morgan, Alan Hutton, Heatrop and other players have seen him for the first time, and their original view of Zhang Yang is: mystery.

This is the relationship of the last few days.

After reporting to Millwall, they haven't been able to see Zhang Yang, a lot of the staff, including other coaches, are saying 'the manager is in the club', but no player will take the initiative to go to the manager's office, so they haven't seen him.

Now their impression becomes: too young!

Some people find it interesting because Zhang Yang is much younger than them, and veterans like Heatrop question Zhang Yang's ability because Zhang Yang is too young.

A so-called 'head coach' in his early twenties, can there really be any coaching level to speak of?

Zhang Yang had a relaxed expression on his face.

He didn't speak.

When it was eight twenty-nine, he nodded at Frederick, "Roll call!" ”

Frederick held a list in his hand and read it out one by one.

"Hislop!"

"In!"

"Darren Bent!"

"Here!"

"Maurice!"

"In!"

"Graham!"

“……”

One by one, most of the players arrived, except for one 'Joey Healy', and Frederick shouted several times to make sure Joey Healy hadn't arrived.

He looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang opened his mouth and asked, "Who knows why Joey didn't come?" ”

"He looks like he's in the locker room! When I came out, I saw him walking in! Curtis Weston said, raising his hand.

"Thanks Curtis, I see."

Then Zhang Yang didn't speak, just looked at his watch and waited there.

Everyone waited.

It was about two minutes before Joey Healy came running out of breath and ran straight into the line, apologetically saying, "I'm a little late!" ”

Zhang Yang pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "Because of your tardiness, you have delayed everyone for two minutes, there are a total of twenty-seven team members here, each of whom has two minutes, a total of fifty-four minutes, then you go to run a lap first, you can choose to run for an hour, or run ten laps in a row." ”

Joey Healy stood up in frustration and started running without hesitation.

Millwall's first-team training ground, one lap is a standard 400 meters, ten laps is 4,000 meters, and the professional players are quite tired from running.

This punishment is a bit too severe.

Millwall's veterans thought, "Chang is getting tougher than before!" "But they think it's normal for Joey Healy to go for laps decisively.

The players also talk about the manager in private.

Zhang Yang is the object of heated discussion, everyone in the team knows that he is usually kind, but as long as he lifts his face, there is no doubt about it.

Braniff questioned it and almost didn't play for three months.

Others don't want to challenge authority, and in addition, Zhang Yang's coaching ability has been recognized by players, fans, and clubs, and it makes no sense for them to 'challenge authority', and they can't even get the support of their teammates.

The new players also have a second impression of Zhang Yang - young, but very authoritative.

Zhang Yang has always had a good sense of time, just like staying in the gentle countryside in the morning, and immediately came to the club after seeing the time.

In the past, the team's training was handed over to Aldous, Wise and others, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but if the team wants to play in the Premier League in the new season, if you want to play well, you must have a good mental outlook, so team discipline must also be grasped.

After punishing Joey Healy, Zhang Yang began to introduce the new team members in turn, and a smile appeared on his face again.

The first to be introduced was Jamie Vardy, as he was closest to Zhang Yang.

'This is Jamie Vardy, you can call him Jamie, he played for ...... Well, I can't even remember the name of that team......"

Quite a few people burst out laughing.

Zhang Yang smiled and said to Vardy, "I'm sorry, but the reason why Vardy came to the team is because his dream is to become a big star!" Is that right? Jamie? ”

Vardy didn't care about the previous words at all, the point was to say that his dream was to become a big star in front of everyone.

That's a recognition!

Vardy suddenly exclaimed, "Yes, yes! Sheet! ”

"Excellent! But just a word of caution, call me Boss. After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he looked at everyone, "I also remind you that no matter who you are in the future, you must call me boss, because I like this title!" ”

“……”

Zhang Yang seriously corrected the problem of the next title.

This has always been Zhang Yang's heart disease, when he first came to the team, he was too young, many players called him by his name directly, of course, it was not very respectful, but when the habit was formed, he became the head coach of the team, and there will still be many people who call him that.

Until now, there are various titles, such as 'coach', 'Zhang', 'coach Zhang', and directly called 'Zhang Yang', in addition, such as Joey Healy, who was punished for running laps, he likes to be called 'Arrogant', in short, the various players in the team call him a variety of names.

This circumstance is detrimental to majesty.

It doesn't matter if the old players are familiar with it, but it will lead to other ideas for the new players, such as they feel that he has no authority or something, so when the team has just gathered for training and there are many new people joining, they will focus on the issue of salutation and remind everyone to pay attention.

Zhang Yang doesn't care what the players think.

He's the manager!

In Millwall, he is the most authoritative boss!

After emphasizing the issue of salutation, which caused many veteran players to laugh, Zhang Yang continued to introduce others, and the next turn was Shaka Hislop.

'I don't think it needs to be introduced, Shaka is an old-timer for most people and it's an honour for him to be in Millwall!'

Next, Darren Bent.

'Darren is a great striker and I think he's going to be a big star in the future and have a chance to be in the England team, even now in front of you, I say that!' Zhang Yang looked at Darren Bent, "But if you want to have more opportunities, you must have a good performance!" ”

Darren Bent was delighted to receive the affirmation.

But then Darren Bent found that when Zhang Yang introduced every player, he would almost always add a sentence of 'I think he will become a big star in the future', or 'he will definitely be in the national team', anyway, every player who arrives, including the obvious fringe substitute, will get a positive praise.

As a result, Konchesky, who was introduced at the end, came over and said, "I know, boss, I'm going to be a big star!" ”

The players burst out laughing.

Zhang Yang coughed lightly and said, "Actually, what I want to say is that you have entered a wealthy family!" Millwall are giants, so congratulations on achieving your goal......"

Everyone's laughter was even louder.

After introducing all the players, Zhang Yang also felt that it was almost the same, so that every newcomer could come up and say a few words, which could help them get to know other people as soon as possible and integrate into the team faster.

The next step is to take a fitness test before the start of preparation.

All the players went to the club's infirmary to receive a simple physical fitness test, and the Millwall club only used the most basic test methods, which were basically to measure the height and weight and other simple data, and compare them with those before the holiday, and then conduct blood tests to get various data, and this step still needs to go to a regular hospital to do.

In fact, weight can say something.

If there is a player who overeats during the holidays, it can be seen directly from the body mass index, but the lack of weight gain does not mean anything, such as spending most of the time on a woman's belly during the holiday, which will definitely make the body function decline.

This can be detected in the blood test data.

Those who have serious problems with the fitness test will definitely be put on a heavier physical training session to ensure that they can recover as soon as possible in order to reserve enough fitness for the new season.
