Chapter 50: Youzhou Trust (II)

Although it is still on vacation, the personnel changes of Youzhou Trust have not stopped, starting with the head coach. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Sarno has been in charge of Youzhou Trust for two seasons, and his contract with the trust is a 2+1 model, which means that if Sarno's results in two seasons can meet the requirements of the club's top management, the contract will be automatically renewed for another year.

In the 15-16 season, Sarno's team performance was not bad, although it was eliminated in the round of 16 stage of the FA Cup, but in the league field, Youzhou Trust finally ranked second behind Yangcheng Hengyuan with a gap of only 2 points, and at the same time historically broke into the AFC Champions League round of 16, this report card made the club management and fans very satisfied.

However, it was also this season that the problem of the aging of the trust broke out, with captain Xu Tianhu 36 years old, starting defender Zhou Jian 36 years old, forward defender Shao Yi 35 years old, and goalkeeper Yang Cai 33 years old. These players are long past the peak of their careers, but they are still in the main position, so you can imagine how serious the age gap of the trust is.

As a result, in the 16-17 season, Sarno used a large number of young players, which directly led to the lack of run-in of the team's lineup, coupled with the fact that the young players could not keep up with the competition of the upstream teams of the Chinese Super League in terms of strength and experience, and the team's results were naturally not much better.

Despite the team's poor results, the club and fans also know that Sarno is rebuilding the team, so they are not too upset. But in May, after the club announced that Wang Shuai would transfer to Youzhou Trust on loan next season, this was originally a very exciting thing for Youzhou fans, but was mercilessly bombarded by Sarno at a post-match press conference. Sarno claimed that the club's loan transfer of Wang Shuai did not greet him at all, this was a purely commercial transfer, this was a show, and if he could stay in the trust next season, Wang Shuai would not be given even a minute of play.

This makes things very awkward. Sarno's results this season were not very impressive, and the club was hesitant to renew his contract, and as a result, he publicly questioned the club's decision. Not to mention, whether it is strength or popularity, even if he is not the starter, Wang Shuai can stand in the trust. As a result, neither the club nor the fans wanted to see Sarno again next season, and Comrade Lao Sa was kicked out like this.

It was Gao Haitao who took over the position, he was also a player of Youzhou Trust when he was young, became a football coach after retiring, and even coached the national team, and handed over a good report card, but due to some indescribable reasons, he was fired last season, and then chose to return to his old club Youzhou Trust.

This head coach selection made the fans very satisfied, and Wang Shuai was also very satisfied. At the beginning of Wang Shuai's fight to the point of coma, Gao Haitao was also a member of the Weibo that forwarded Wang Shuai and Gao Xiang, and the two also had private exchanges after that, so it can be said that Gao Haitao is very optimistic about Wang Shuai. This made Wang Shuai, who had been worried about his playing time, feel a lot more relaxed.

The change of coach can be said to be a successful end, and there is also good news that Zhang Qi, a former midfielder who transferred from the trust to play in the Bundesliga a few years ago, returned to China and chose to rejoin Youzhou Trust. For the team, this "turtle" who returned from overseas can be described as a strong addition to the lineup.

However, the team's personnel changes are not all good news, Xu Tianhu and Zhou Jian, after the end of last season, chose to retire.

Both players are veteran players who have been in the trust for more than ten years, Xu Tianhu has played in Youzhou Trust since the last century, and since he became the captain in 09, he is affectionately known as the "Tiger Team" by fans. It can be said that the retirement of these two players has brought much more mental loss to the club than strength.

But fortunately, Xu Tianhu and Zhou Jian also have deep feelings for the trust, so they joined the coaching staff of Youzhou Trust after retiring, which is also good news.

……

A month later, Youzhou Trust's pre-season training officially began.

This month, although the first team and youth team of Youzhou Trust are on vacation, Wang Shuai has not stopped improving his strength, and he has finished learning the fourth-level fancy moves.

Although the fourth-level fancy moves are much less than the first three, the difficulty has also been greatly improved, and it is not surprising that when Wang Shuai learned all the fourth-level moves, new achievements and skills were also obtained.

----------

Level 4 Freestyle: Learn all Level 4 Freestyles. (Achievement Rewards: Player Skills "Fancy Passing (Advanced)", "Fancy Shooting (Advanced)"; Unlock Achievement: Level 5 Freestyle)

----------

Freestyle Pass (Advanced): Increases the success rate of using all freestyle moves by 20%, and when the opposing player is not higher than his level, the success of using the freestyle will always confuse the opponent for 0.5 seconds, and the probability of confusing other players is 20%.

Fancy Shot (Advanced): When the freestyle shot is successful, the angle of the shot will be automatically corrected by 10%, and the opposing goalkeeper will have a 20% chance of being confused for 0.5 seconds.

----------

After upgrading, the two fancy skills are more powerful than before. The important thing is that now Wang Shuai can 100% confuse the other party in the face of players of the same level, and now in the Chinese Super League team, there are only a few first-class teams that will have intermediate professional players, and the number is still very small, which makes Wang Shuai's feints a big killer for him.

If you only look at the skill of fancy shooting, it is actually not very powerful, because the four levels of fancy moves add up, and there are only four fancy shooting actions. But after playing for a year, Wang Shuai found that after making fancy moves to shake off defenders, he could naturally take a fancy shot. That is to say, before Wang Shuai triggered the skill of fancy shooting, he took the lead in triggering the fancy pass, so after these two skills work together, the opponent from the defender to the goalkeeper, a whole set of defensive systems will be affected, this power is amazing!

……

Youzhou Trust Training Camp.

When Wang Shuai arrived, most of the players had already arrived, chatting in twos and threes.

"Haha, the little star is here!"

For Wang Shuai, the players of Youzhou Trust are still very friendly, not to mention that Wang Shuai's performance in the round of 16 of the FA Cup last season has shocked them, and the identity of the player in the same city alone has shortened the distance between everyone a lot.

"Hello seniors!" Wang Shuai scratched his head and smiled shyly. He has been a fan of Youzhou Trust since he was a child, and now he is naturally a little embarrassed to be with these players who used to be idols.

Everyone didn't talk for long together, and the remaining players gradually arrived, and head coach Gao Haitao also came to the court, which means that the journey of the new season of Youzhou Trust has officially begun.
