Chapter 20 Summer Training
readx;
Chu Zhongtian's joining the team is Wimbledon's first signing this season, but this signing was announced too early, so everyone subconsciously regarded it as Wimbledon's signing this season, and everyone thought that it should have been signed last season. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
So when Coote. When Hammons joined the team, the media said it was Wimbledon's first signing of the summer.
Coote of Wolves. Hammons is a midfielder who is fierce defensively and short-tempered, and is a headache for everyone. But Chu Zhongtian thought that he might as well buy it and use it. Wimbledon is all about needing a ruthless character who can intimidate the enemy. Hammons' presence on the court reminded him of his old teammate Llorik. Sana. The original "Marseille killing machine" has long since been decommissioned.
Kurt. Hammons is only twenty-five years old, and Chu Zhongtian intends to train him to be a second "killing machine". He doesn't think grumpy is a shortcoming, and if anything, it's the manager's responsibility. The head coach didn't guide Hammons well from the start, telling him how to control his temper.
Now this work has to fall on Chu Zhongtian's shoulders. As the team's new captain, as well as an assistant coach, and as an experienced midfielder, Chu Zhongtian has the obligation and ability to teach Hammons how to control his temper in the game and play that momentum in the right place.
signed Chu Zhongtian first, and then the first to finalize it was Kute. The transfer of Hammons, rather than someone in other positions, has something to do with Chu Zhongtian's thinking with Russell. The midfield is a very important area of modern football and it must be built first.
Only when the midfield is stable can the rest of the team play its due strength.
Chu Zhongtian needs a strong partner, and now the midfielders in the team are not up to the task, so the team spent £1.5 million to bring Coote from Wolves. Hammons.
Kurt. Hammons is also happy to move to Wimbledon, where he is excited to be able to play alongside the legendary Chu Zhongtian in midfield, as well as promising a place in the main line-up.
As a midfielder, Chu Zhongtian's story is familiar to him, Chu Zhongtian was originally a midfielder who could only defend anything, but then he grew step by step into an all-round offensive and defensive organizational core, such a turn can be described as gorgeous for a midfield player.
Hammons hoped to learn a lot of useful things from Chu Zhongtian. In fact, he himself was also troubled by the fact that he couldn't control his temper sometimes, and now playing football next to Chu Zhongtian, he hoped to help him control his temper.
After his transfer to Wimbledon Athletic, he expressed his admiration for Chu Zhongtian in front of reporters.
"I can't wait to train with Chu! You know, not everybody has the opportunity to play with him...... The guys I had at Wolves were envious when they knew I was coming to Wimbledon and they said: 'Oh my God! You're going to play football with that guy?! 'Haha! They can continue to play in their Premier League, but I wouldn't envy them because I can play with Chu and ...... We also have a chance to be promoted to the Premier League! ”
※※※ "These are not said in the documents. Hammons is actually a very cheerful man – and it's not hard to see why his temper sometimes gets out of control. Extroverts are overly active......" Chu Zhongtian said to Russell after watching the video of Hammons being interviewed by reporters. "People are not bad. As long as people aren't bad, it's fine. ”
Russell laughed, "People adore you, Chu." It's up to you! Ha ha! ”
Chu Zhongtian rolled his eyes, Russell was teasing him, how could he not hear it.
The fact that the other party worships himself is also not in the data, which is a good factor to use. Hammons has a crush on himself, which helps him to correct his bad temper that he can't control. If you worship yourself, you will obey your words, and this will save you a lot of trouble.
Chu Zhongtian carefully studied the game video of Hammons, his game video is actually not much, and most of them are still game videos of the youth team, even in the reserve team, his chances to play are only a handful.
As you can see from these game videos, Hammons' defensive level is there, but there are too many fouls, and as a midfielder, it is impossible not to foul, but too many fouls are also a bad thing, which can lead to giving opponents too many free kicks in dangerous places, or even penalties.
If he can correct his own problems and talk about defensive ability, Chu Zhongtian believes that Hammons can be in the top three in the Championship - Chu Zhongtian's prediction is very accurate, in fact, if it is not for the reason for too many fouls, Hammons' defensive ability can make him stable in the first team of the Premier League team Wolves, as the main or main substitute.
A player like Hammons is like a product that leaves the factory with some flaws, and everything else is fine, but there is something wrong in one key place, and if it can be fixed, Wimbledon will be a big bargain.
※※※ Coot. After Hammons joins the team, he will be Chu Zhongtian's partner in the back.
His arrival also announced that Jupiter had lost his last chance of life, but he also wanted to leave the team, as early as after Chu Zhongtian announced his signing with Wimbledon, what he wanted to leave was Russell's "I will definitely let you go in the summer" as a condition, allowing him to play in the team for another half season. I have to say that Jupiter is still quite trustworthy, he has performed very well in this half season, and has done his best to help the team relegation.
Of course, this kind of performance also helps to improve his own value, no matter which team he goes to, he will be valued, and he will certainly not be bad in terms of salary.
In fact, there are a number of Championship teams interested in Jupiter, including Leeds United, who have always been interested in him. Leeds United were not able to get promoted in the end, but instead planted themselves in the promotion play-offs.
However, they are still strong and will hopefully continue to challenge in the Super League this season.
After Jupiter's outstanding performance, Russell also kept his promise, announcing that Jupiter was not in the team's plans for next season, that the player could leave the team, and that if any club was interested in him, they could make an offer, and as long as the price was right, they would let Jupiter go.
As soon as the news came out, four clubs made offers to Wimbledon.
Jupiter spent £2 million on the team, making him the most expensive player on the team at that time. Russell's "right price" certainly can't make the club lose money, so it can't be less than £2 million.
Jupiter's own strength is not weak, but it is much worse than Chu Zhongtian, and he has always been unwilling to continue to stay at Wimbledon Athletic, thinking about leaving the team all day long, which has a very bad impact on the atmosphere within the team. That's why Russell wants to sell him. If it weren't for Chu Zhongtian joining the team, Russell would have kept Jupiter no matter what.
The powerful Jupiter did not worry about selling, and soon Russell agreed to two teams with offers, both of which were offered for two million pounds, and as for which Jupiter would go, it was Jupiter's own choice.
In the end, Jupiter still reached a deal with Leeds United, who had favored him for a long time, and he turned down Coventry's contract.
On July 6, Wimbledon Athletic and Leeds United officially announced the completion of the deal at the same time, Jupiter left Wimbledon Athletic for £2.4 million to play for Leeds United, with whom he signed a four-year contract.
Wimbledon fans are happy with Jupiter's departure, knowing that Wimbledon fans love the team very much, they support the team unconditionally, and love the players. But even so, they booed Jupiter mercilessly last season. Jupiter's repeated declarations of leaving the team upset the atmosphere in the dressing room and upset Wimbledon fans. Last summer, a fan asked Jupiter to get out: "The mad gang doesn't need those bastards who don't love the mad gang!" ”
Now that he's finally out of the way after a year of delay, the fans rejoice - the biggest bomb in the locker room is finally gone.
After selling Jupiter, Wimbledon will continue to clean. There are some players in the team who are not up to the mark, even if they have been with the team for many years, but this is the time when the team needs to rush up with all their might, and no matter how human they are, they cannot let these people continue to occupy the main position of the team. For these players, Russell's approach is to transfer if a team is willing to take them and they are willing to go, and if not, go on loan. At the very least, you can't stay in the team and make the team roster bloated.
Mourinho has always emphasized that the first team only needs 23 to 25 players is enough, Chu Zhongtian is deeply influenced by Mourinho in Real Madrid, and also believes that the first team should not be too many, and now Wimbledon Athletic has 30 players in the first team, more than five to seven, and these people must be purged to make room for future transfers.
The purge list Russell had already drawn up, and after discussing it with Chu Zhongtian, it was finally determined.
There are as many as ten players who are not in the team's plans. These people can sell as much as possible for the starting price, and if they can't sell for the price, they will be loaned out and will not be renewed until the contract expires.
It is more difficult to sell than to buy. After all, some of these people are old people who have been with the team for more than four seasons, and they have followed the team all the way from the amateur league to the professional league, and now that the team has higher pursuits, they don't want them - it's not good for anyone, right?
But for the sake of the team's future, these purges are necessary. How can a person travel lightly if he does not leave behind his excess baggage? It's the same for the team.
※※※ In the following days, Wimbledon Athletic buyers and sellers will be held together. Chu Zhongtian only participates in the evaluation before buying, and he doesn't care about the specific transfer operation.
But that doesn't mean he can rest, not only will he not be able to rest, he will be busier. Because the team's summer training camp has begun.
As the team's assistant coach, and as a coach who has been involved in the development of the team's training plan at Hoffenheim, Chu Zhongtian will also be involved in the development of Wimbledon's summer training plan as a matter of course.
The Championship starts at the beginning of August, so as soon as July arrives, the team's training begins.
When the players returned to the team, they were all excited when they came into close contact with Chu Zhongtian for the first time.
Many players even prepared cameras or used mobile phones to take photos with Chu Zhongtian in the locker room.
Chu Zhongtian's impression of these players is that there is no shelf of a big-name star, he always has a smile on his face, and he takes the initiative to greet people, and there is no shelf at all.
What surprised these people the most was that Chu Zhongtian should be regarded as meeting them for the first time, but he was able to call out everyone's name accurately.
Of course, they didn't know that Chu Zhongtian had taken on the responsibility of being a leader in order to integrate into the team as soon as possible, and he had worked hard to match the names of his teammates with each of his faces. It's his cleverness, but it works.
The first meeting left a very perfect impression on everyone. When those people saw that Chu Zhongtian could open their mouths and call out their names, they all felt that they had been valued by a big man like Chu Zhongtian.
Everyone has this mentality, if a big man and a big star know his name, it is a thing worth showing off, and if this person is still a companion with himself, it is as if he has become a big man.
On the first day of Wimbledon's summer training camp, everyone's main purpose was to chase stars.
Someone even came to the locker room with a large bag of things, and then opened it and asked Chu Zhongtian to sign them one by one...... "...... This is for the son of the family, this is for the daughter, this is for the ...... Uh, it's the neighbor's kids, these are his parents'...... Ah, and my son's classmates. My dad is also a big fan of yours, Chu. By the way, these are postcards sent to me from out of town, and they want you to sign them, and then I'll send them back......"
Seeing him take out so many things and introduce them to Chu Zhongtian one by one, the teammates next to him couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, Steve! Do you want to be exhausted? ”
"You're exaggerating, haha!"
Chu Zhongtian was just surprised for a moment, and then began to honestly pick up the name.
He always tries to meet the demands of the fans. Because he also came from the fans, he knows very well the feelings of the fans who are looking forward to being able to connect with their idols.
Anyway, it's just signing, do you know why celebrities always sign like drawing ghosts and drawing symbols, and they sign their names after a few turns, and few people can understand what is written? People specially designed like this, in order to save some effort and time when signing, if you sign one stroke at a time, it is not good-looking, but also delays time, it is easy to say that if you sign more, it is estimated that it will not be long before your wrist is sore and you can't hold a pen...... ※※※ The first time I train with a big star, everything is fresh.
What Chu Zhongtian showed in training also amazed his teammates.
Because he had just returned from the holiday, the training arranged by Russell did not have any technical and tactical aspects, just physical recovery, and the players had to lose the fat that grew during the vacation first.
Just a simple physical training, Chu Zhongtian showed his advantages - originally everyone thought that the thirty-four-year-old Chu Zhongtian would definitely be inferior to young people in terms of physical fitness, but after running down, everyone else was too tired to do it, Chu Zhongtian just blushed and panted slightly!
This stunned many players who were much younger than Chu Zhongtian...... They got together and said, "It's a monster......"
"yes, yes! Thirty-four years old, and with such physical strength, I really don't know how he usually exercises......"
"No wonder people dare to say that they can play high-level football for a few more years, with such physical fitness as a guarantee, what football can't be played?"
Russell also laughed, and he said to his assistant coach, "Any idea what I remembered?" ”
"I don't know......" the assistant shook his head.
"I thought about when I was a player and found out that Chu was running here to train...... At that time, the distance between the two places was more than five miles. He ran five miles in the scorching sun, then completed an intense workout, and then ran another five miles back to his home. From that time I knew this kid wasn't human. So I'm not surprised that he still has so much energy, ha! That's fine, I can use Chu to stimulate those kids, let them see, a thirty-four-year-old 'veteran' has such physical fitness, are they embarrassed to be lazy in training! ”
※※※ Chu Zhongtian didn't know that Russell had set him up as an example, but he did have this idea, as the captain, he had to lead by example and show the most decent attitude in training in order to convince others that he was the new captain. Although it is said that he is enough to be the captain only by virtue of his fame and strength, this is not what Chu Zhongtian wants, he wants to use his practical actions to conquer his teammates and make them accept him as the captain from the bottom of their hearts.
He hadn't been captain for eight years, and it wasn't her turn to captain at Real Madrid, not even the third.
But he is no stranger to how to be a good captain, after all, he is a natural leader.
※※※The novelty will always pass, and soon the players will get used to the feeling of training with Chu Zhongtian, and they will no longer put more energy into taking photos with Chu Zhongtian and looking for Chu Zhongtian to sign autographs. The team's training volume is also increasing day by day, leaving them with no time to think about other things...... The preparation period of the Championship team is more than that of other leagues, so the amount must also be fast, not according to the set of La Liga, first spend more than ten days to recover slowly, and at the same time find the sense of the ball, and then frequently arrange various warm-up matches in August, to find the state of the game for the players, if there is a chance, you can also find some commercial games to make money.
Championship teams have only one month to prepare in July, and their first round of fixtures of the new season will begin on 6 August......
