Chapter 16: "Five Tiger Generals"
Before Nan Xiao introduced himself, Boisko briefly introduced Nan Xiao's past experience, but because Nan Xiao's career was too short, perhaps Boisko's preparation was too sufficient, and when Nan Xiao introduced himself, he found that there was almost nothing to talk about, which also made him feel a little embarrassed.

"I've been a big fan of Liverpool since I was a kid, I remember the first game I watched was the Champions League final between Liverpool and AC Milan in Istanbul, and even though it's been more than a decade since this game, I'm still glad that the first football game I watched was a fairytale miracle, and the creator of this miracle is Liverpool, which I still love deeply." Nan Xiao's opening remarks drew applause from all the players, and even Henry and Bouco behind him couldn't help but subconsciously applaud him.
"So when Mr. Henry invited me at last year's Christmas party, I really couldn't think of any reason to refuse, and to be honest, what happened that night felt like a beautiful dream to me, and it wasn't until I woke up the next morning and found Mr. Henry's business card in my suit pocket that I could believe that it was all real, and that God was just joking on me." Nan Xiao smiled and said to the players, as if telling a story, and the players seemed to gradually revel in Nan Xiao's words.
"I've fantasized more than once about what it will be like to be in charge of Liverpool one day, I've been an optimist since I was a kid, so I've always believed that this day will come, and I often brag to my friends that I can let Liverpool find me in just three years, but what I didn't expect was that I only needed one year to achieve that goal." When Nan Xiao said this, the corners of his mouth also showed a smug smile intentionally or unintentionally, and the second applause given to him by the players also rang out.
"Mr. Henry has given me a lot of trust, we have an old saying in China, called Maxima often has, and Bole is not often, but I am very fortunate that I have met Mr. Henry, so the only thing I can do is to repay his trust in me with my practical actions in the future; In the same way, I have the same trust in you who can stand in front of me at this moment, so I hope you will not fail to live up to my trust, in the new season, we can fight side by side, for the fans who have always supported us unconditionally, for all the staff who have been silently dedicated to us, for our strongest backing Mr. Henry, and finally for ourselves, we must spare no effort to achieve the goals we set before the game, not for anything, Just because we're Liverpool! "Nan Xiao's speeches are always so impassioned, he always seems to be able to inspire the fighting spirit buried in the hearts of the players, which can be seen from last season when he was in charge of Sunderland FC, although the two transfer periods have made the "Black Cats" a little better, but without Nan Xiao's time and time again to inspire the players, it will be difficult for them to beat strong teams such as Everton and Southampton to enter the top seven places at the end of the season.
The first thing Nan Xiao did when the Sunderland players returned from their holiday was to give the team a 20-lap recovery session, and the principle of this training was not to limit the speed, but to finish the run; After giving the first instructions to the players, Nan Xiao and Boisko returned to the conference room to wait for the players to finish training.
From this physical recovery training, you can clearly see the physical fitness gap of all the players, and in the Liverpool team, you can see several players with terrifying endurance, and the most obvious of them is Lallana, Milner, Klein, Firmino, Henderson, the "five tiger generals", if you can run, these five buddies have never been scared!
In fact, it can be seen from the statistics given by the official Premier League that Liverpool has been the team with the longest running distance among the 20 teams in the Premier League almost every season. Lallana has set a new record for the most distances traveled in a single game in the Premier League.
"Good morning, Coach." Nan Xiao was discussing the content of the meeting with Boisko for a while, when he heard the voice of "Team Grass" Lallana, and then when he looked up, he saw him and Milner, Firmino, and Klein entering the four mermaids.
"Why just the four of you?" Nan Xiao asked subconsciously.
"They're not done yet!" Fillino sat down in his seat, unscrewed the mineral water on the conference table in front of him, and said.
"I know they didn't finish the run, I mean why didn't Henderson come back, I just saw in the window that the five of you didn't keep running side by side, like bulldozers." Nan Xiao said with a carbon pen in his hand.
"Well, the captain is staring at the other people training!" Lallana replied with some embarrassment.
"Henderson is quite responsible." Nan Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with satisfaction.
"He's very responsible and he's very popular in the team." Lallana seemed to be afraid that Nan Xiao's words would fall to the ground, and every sentence was picked up steadily.
"Well, that's good." Nan Xiao nodded and replied, but he summed it up in his heart, I didn't expect you to really speak for Henderson like this, no wonder Chinese fans will say that you two are doing it.
But how could Lallana know Nan Xiao's voiceover, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes", and continued to say a word that Nan Xiao threw on the ground.
Ten minutes or so after the "Five Tigers" who were missing Henderson returned to the conference room, the other Liverpool players also came back one after another, and the last one in the team were also the two goalkeepers Mignolet and Kalius, these two buddies still talked and laughed along the way, Nan Xiao really doubted that they had secretly run ten or eight laps less.
"Everyone is back, let's have a meeting next, before the official meeting, and give you a brief introduction to the new players who joined the team this season, namely Aguero from Argentina, Halilovic from Croatia, Manolas from Greece......" Under the applause of the players again and again, Nan Xiao finally finished introducing all the recruits, and when he was about to start today's meeting, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Henderson. You go and check it out. Nan Xiao said to Henderson, who was sitting closest to the door.
"Okay.".
After Henderson opened the door to the conference room, Lovren, who was late to the room, appeared in everyone's eyes, and Nan Xiao looked back at the tall Croatian central defender standing at the door, and pointed to the pitch outside the window with a blank face.
"Go, come back after 30 laps of physical recovery."
