Chapter 176: A Trip to Turkey
David Winston had a rare day off in his sleep, and that's where bachelors suffer, when it's time to rest, there's no one to accompany you, there's nowhere to go, and everywhere you go, there's dog food that can be seen everywhere and stuffs it in your mouth before you eat.

It was another morning, and the sun was still high above the clear, cloudless sky. David Winston got up very early today, because he was going to the Staplewood training base to join the players and go to Turkey together, where he would challenge the Besiktass team, David Winston was more worried that the city of the Besiktas team was Istanbul, and Istanbul was known as the hell city, as the name suggests, the origin of this title is that their fans are very bloody, very tough, and very enthusiastic, almost crazy enthusiasm. Every team that comes to play in Turkey, especially the team that comes to Istanbul to play, is not very accustomed to the atmosphere of the game here, because the stadium is simply too noisy, it is just noise, the roar is so loud that the ears are ringing, there is a sense of pain, you can see how terrible and terrifying the formation is.
David Winston is also worried that he has some very young players under him, who have not seen much of the world, who have not gone out or played at European level, and are really afraid that they will have a psychological breakdown when they see that formation. So David Winston arrived at the Staplewood training base and first went to find Frank Ribery, who used to play there, Frank Ribery is the player who knows the atmosphere of Turkish football best, and there is probably no one more in the Southampton team. David Winston has also talked a lot with Frank Ribery about the internal situation and player structure of his former club, Besiktas, and although it has been so long, Besiktas has definitely changed players and improved the tactical system, but some aspects will not change. David Winston told Frank Ribery to tell every player about his experience with Besiktas, so that they could fully understand in their hearts how terrible the city, the stadium and the fans of the city were, and so that they could be fully prepared in their hearts. Then David Winston found Roberto Ayala again, and asked him to use his experience and mental strength to stabilize all the players when he played against Southampton and Besiktas, no matter what happened on the field, first of all, he must not mess with himself, and he must stabilize the morale of the army. Only by stabilizing the morale of the army can they better exert their abilities on the field.
After David Winston had done the most basic ideological work, he led the Southampton soldiers to the distant land of Turkey, a mysterious country.
After a long flight and a tiring journey by bus, the Southampton team finally arrived in Istanbul. It was already late afternoon. As David Winston had thought, there were no Southampton fans to greet them at the airport, the airport was deserted, and most of the pedestrians inside were Turkish, and their eyes were full of wariness and curiosity, as if they had never seen this species before. The members of the Southampton team who watched it were uncomfortable for a while, and hurriedly got on the pre-arranged bus. David Winston sat in the first seat of the bus, looking out at the completely different scenery from the city of Southampton, and was a little distracted. He looked at the relatively deserted scenery outside and suddenly thought of the dream he had thought of in his previous life to travel the world, but what he didn't expect was that in this world, David Winston's body was quietly helping him realize this dream, a dream that he once thought was just a daydream, out of reach.
David Winston and the Southampton team finally arrived at their assigned hotel after a long 20-minute journey, and after a short rest, they rushed to the training ground for physical recovery and adjustment.
Night shows, even if they are night shows, there are still a lot of visiting journalists. After all, this is the first round of the UEFA Cup, and it is also a match for Southampton, who are considered to be one of the teams with a high probability of winning the UEFA Cup. Naturally, reporters rushed over to get more news about Southampton on the training ground and, of course, Southampton manager David Winston. But today David Winston obviously does not give any face to these journalists who have come from afar, in fact, in England, David Winston has never given these reporters face. The thing he hates most in this world is journalists. Not one of them. David Winston closed off the entire training ground and didn't let the reporters get any valuable footage, which caught the reporters who came here from thousands of miles off guard and ate a big bowl of closed doors. And after the end of the training, David Winston specifically informed the players that they were not allowed to accept any interviews with the field reporters after the training, and all reporters were refused to do so, and they could not disclose any information to the reporters. This surprised the reporters who waited outside the stadium for more than an hour, who naively thought that David Winston refused to shoot the reporters only because he wanted to retain tactical information, and did not expect that even the interview after training would be so thorough. I really haven't seen it. The reporters watched as the players walked past them waved their hands and left, and the last one to leave was the head coach David Winston who gritted his teeth. David Winston walked out of the training ground, looked at the reporters with a black face, and then passed by the reporters in a dashing manner, leaving in style.
David Winston really values this game, so he's going to have to make sure it's perfect. After all, this is their first game in European competition, and it is also Southampton's first game in European competition this season, and it will take a good start to the UEFA Cup schedule to get off to a good start. David Winston has to be foolproof, and he is prepared to continue the lineup and tactical system that has been performing well recently. Do it with me as the main thing, and respond to all changes with the same.
It's a deep night, and I hope I still have a good dream tomorrow night. (To be continued.) )
