Chapter 5 The First Training Session (Part II)

After getting to know Winston, the Southampton players began to warm up for laps under the guidance of their strength and conditioning coach. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Chen Zhun and Reed watched them from the training ground, and the most conspicuous member of this team was undoubtedly Peter Crouch, a 2-meter-tall high school striker. He moved to Southampton from Aston Villa for £2.5 million last month. The future Chen Zhun's impression of Crouch mainly comes from his beautiful model girlfriend Abbie Clancy. Chen is pleased with Southampton's forward line, Peter Crouch, Kevin Phillips, Marian Pajas who are now running laps, and James Beatty, the injured first center who is jogging on the sidelines. But Chen also realised that Southampton were still lacking a speedy striker, and Chen immediately thought of Jamie Vardy, the most inspirational striker of 2016. Chen Zhun remembers that he had seen Vardy's material. He remembers Jamie Vardy being released from his contract by Sheffield Wednesday when he was 17 years old. And when he was 17 years old, it was exactly 2004. Chen Zhun knew that now was the easiest time to take Vardy, so that Chen Zhun would complete his first great value acquisition in this world. Chen Joon decided to talk to chairman Rupert Lowe after the training session, find Vardy and get him on his team. Chen Zhun thought about it and looked at the other players in the team. He didn't know much of the rest of the players. Among them is the Finnish goalkeeper Niemi, who is a household name among fans of FM Football Manager and was once a demon goalkeeper in the game. Niemi also has a remarkable record, becoming the first goalkeeper to be substituted midway through the FA Cup final in the 2003 FA Cup final. He was substituted in the 66th minute of Southampton's duel with Arsenal due to injury, and Chen Zhun knew Swedish free-kick master Anders Svensson at the heart of the midfield. In the round of 16 of the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, it was his free-kick that scored and Sweden defeated Argentina, which completely shattered the World Cup dream of the god of war. As for the other players, Chen Zhun needs to understand it slowly. Chen's own strong memories also recall at this time that Anders Svensson returned to his former club in Sweden during the winter transfer window, and James Beattie was also sold to Everton for a high price.

"Reed, what kind of play do you think this Southampton pile is suitable for?" Chen Zhun asked Reed coldly.

Reed obviously didn't follow Chen Zhun's train of thought, thought for a moment, and began to talk about his thoughts: "I just looked at our team's squad. Most of our forwards are high-school strikers in the box, and this type of striker is suitable for playing long balls or wide crosses, and they can play to their height advantage. There are also many sets of set-pieces and corners that we have to practice. This will give us more means to score. “

Chen Zhun really didn't pick the wrong candidate. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave the formation tactics to me, and the set-piece and corner exercises will be handed over to you." “

Reed nodded. He looked at this young coach, but there was a sense of maturity and old age.

The reason why Chen Zhun did this was actually that he didn't know it at all. He didn't know anything about set-pieces, corner-kick tactics, and those tactics were a fantasy for him as a rookie coach. It is better to leave these detailed tasks to professional coaches, and what you do is to study the lineup and tactics well. In fact, Chen Zhun wanted Reed to be in charge of daily training, when he was playing FM Football Manager, the first thing he did every time the team opened a new file was to find an assistant coach with a bug level, and then he handed over the boring but sacred task of daily training to the hard-working assistant coach Les Reid, and he quietly waited for the game to start. But Chen Zhun also knows that this is not the game world, and these Premier League teams are not those mentally handicapped computer teams in FM, a set of tactics to blow up all teams. He will face the most intense and competitive Premier League, with a team full of strength and passion. As a rookie, he will play against world-class coaches such as Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Benitez and Jose Mourinho, and the slightest mistake will be shattered. Chen Zhun finally gave up on this idea. Chen Zhun didn't come here to mess around, he wanted to make a name for himself.

After the Southampton players warmed up, they waited for Chen Zhun in the field to make the next training instruction. In order to get acquainted with the players faster, Chen Zhun decided to have an 11-on-11 team training match. He wants to be quicker and more direct with each player.

The training teams are divided into red and yellow teams. The 11 members of the red team are goalkeeper Niemi, and the back line is Le Sox, Klaus Lundkwan, Michael Svensson, Jason Dodd. The four midfielders are David Plutton, Anderson Svensson, John Delap, Fabrice Fernandes, and the two forwards are Kevin Phillips and Marian Pajas. The 11 members of the Yellow team are goalkeeper Paul Smith, and the back line is from left to right, Jelle Van Dammer, Danny Higginbotham, Alaa Yahya, Chris Baird. The two midfielders are Terson and Matt Oakley. The two wing-backs are Neil McAhn and Paul Telfol. The double strikers are Peter Crouch and Brett Olmerod. Both teams are the 442 formations that Chen Zhun wants to prepare. The Red team was the main squad for Southampton last season. The yellow team is a team of substitutes and newly introduced players.

The training match lasted 30 minutes. The final score of the two teams was a 3-3 draw. The red team scored goals by Anderson Svensson, Fabrice Fernandes and Kevin Phillips. The Yellow's goals were all contributed by Crouch, with three headers. The intensity of the training match was very high, and all 22 players wanted to show their strength in front of the new coach and all of them worked hard to give them all their abilities. Chen Zhun also watched the game carefully from the sidelines. For the first time, he felt the quality of each player, and he can now intuitively feel that the strength of the Southampton team is really not the last strength in history. This can be regarded as giving Chen Zhun a lot of confidence for the newcomer.

Chen Zhun walked up to the team members and said encouragingly, "Guys. Everybody played very well. Keep up the form we are and let's prove ourselves in the Premier League! ”

After Chen Zhun finished speaking, he motioned to Reed to continue the next training. Go to Chairman Rupert Lowe to talk to Vardy about it.
