Chapter 132: Chinese Genius
Everything was difficult at the beginning, and after this opening was a good start, the mood within the team and the half-time changed 180 degrees. The atmosphere in the bus carrying the team www.biquge.info is very relaxed. The team members all started singing and dancing. David Winston also liked to see it, watching their movements happily.
The next game will be against an old rival, derby rivals, Portsmouth, but Portsmouth at this time is not the same threat to Southampton as Portsmouth last season. Instead of bringing in a quality player, he sold the young striker Yakubu. This made the strength of the Portsmouth team instantly weakened.
With a week to go before this match, there was plenty of time to prepare, and David Winston didn't put all his attention on this game, and there was another person who drew most of his attention to it, and that was Chen Jun.
David Winston returned to Southampton, rested for a day, and the next day went to the Southampton team's junior team training grounds, where he spent a lot of money to renovate the entire Staplewood training base this summer, giving the original dilapidated base a new look and adding a lot of high-tech elements. Yue Soul has added a new laboratory to the Staplewood base, similar to the Milan laboratory in order to optimize the management of the mental and physical conditions of the athletes.
On a sunny day, the breath of fresh air felt extra comfortable in David Winston's lungs, which was unmatched by some countries.
Chen Zhun did not drive to the Staplewood training base today, but chose to go by running. This hearty feeling suddenly enveloped David Winston's body.
David Winston gave the first team a day off, which is why David Winston can better take a look at the training of the youth and junior teams.
The day's itinerary was full, with youth team games in the morning and junior team games in the afternoon.
The youth team's training base was also completely new, with the youth team games already underway when David Winston arrived, with youth head coach Prost and now Academy director Les Reid watching from the sidelines.
David Winston quietly walked over and gave both of them a hard tap on the shoulder.
"Oh! Oh my God, man, you're scared to death! Long time no see! David!! Les Reid also patted David Winston on the shoulder, his eyes full of memories.
"Yes! Why are you here today! ”
"I guess our goal is the same." Les Reid finished speaking and looked at Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott who were running around the field.
"That's right, the same goal." David Winston also looked over with Les Reid's eyes.
Gareth Bale was already at home on the left wing, frequently using his pace to eat raw opponents and form a wing twin for the youth team with Theo Walcott on the right.
David Winston watched their performance on the court and couldn't help but nod his head in full affirmation.
"How! Are they ready to play in the next league now? David Winston asked Prost, the head coach of the youth team, meaningfully.
'I have every confidence that they can now play in the Premier League and show the world what they are capable of, even though they are only 16 years old, but I believe they are definitely the future of Southampton.'
David Winston looked thoughtfully.
Half an hour later, David Winston was content to get what he wanted to see and moved on to the junior team training base.
When David Winston arrived at the junior team training base, he found that the morning training had ended, but there were still two figures practicing on the field. David Winston took a closer look, and it turned out to be Le Tissier and Chen Jun. It seems that this god is very fond of this boy from China.
"Hey, Chen, when you get the ball, don't think I have to pass the opponent first, but calm down, see the situation around you clearly, and pass the ball out. You'll help the whole team a lot, first of all, you have to remember that you are part of the whole and then yourself! ”
"Understood, Coach."
"Your basic skills are very solid, and your mind is not as bad at thinking as other Chinese players, you are a rare talent, but I hope you can forget this identity brought to you by the outside world, and work hard to improve yourself here."
"Uh-huh!"
David Winston really heard the conversation between the two, and immediately felt that Le Tissier was really interested in this Chinese kid and was a very professional head coach.
"Hey, are you adding a small stove again!!" David Winston enthusiastically waved his hand at the two men at the end of the training ground.
Letissier and Chen Jun looked at David Winston with an incredible look on their faces, and then Chen Jun waited for Letissier's reply.
"Hey, David, long time no see! How do you have time to be here today. Le Tissier asked David Winston with a smile.
David Winston pointed to Chen Jun beside Le Tissier and said, "My target is him, and I'm not here to catch up with you today!" Ha ha! ”
Le Tissier shrugged his shoulders with a smile and said: "Chen, I can indeed let you see, his strength is very powerful, he is worthy of the player you personally brought from China, I really hope he is a player from England!" ”
Chen Jun looked at the conversation between David Winston and Le Tissier with an expression that seemed to understand or not, but in fact, he understood everything in his heart.
"Well, has he been training lately to get used to the rhythm of the game in England!" David Winston asked Le Tissier while gently touching Chen Jun's black hair.
"Chen's progress every day can be seen with the naked eye, which is very gratifying to me, and it is also commendable to children of the same age. His earnestness reminds me of my youth. This kid is really rare. But his shortcomings are also obvious, his physical condition is very bad, but now Southampton's youth training method is no longer blindly physical training, so his body can only come little by little. ”
Le Tissier had already asked Chen Jun to go back first, and then he and David Winston began to talk freely about Chen Jun. From David Winston's eyes, it can be seen that Le Tissier really likes Chen Jun very much.
The two of them looked at Chen Jun running in the sun, and couldn't help but think of the picture of him still being able to run like this a few years later. (To be continued.) )
