It is not enough to have ideas without practice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Chen Zhun couldn't wait for nine o'clock to go to the training ground after reading Winston's notes. He looked at his watch, it was only half past seven, but he decided to leave for the training ground right now and start the first day of his coaching career.
When Chen Zhun walked onto the street again, it was already dawn. The number of people working on the streets is also increasing. Among them, people who knew Winston gave him a thumbs up and affirmed him. This made Chen Zhun feel a little more warm and a little less nervous.
Chen Zhun came to the Southampton club's Staplewood training base. The current Staplewood training base is unusually deserted. It was just half past seven, and everyone hadn't come yet. The janitor at the training base was not surprised by Winston's appearance. Because Winston was half an hour late today.
Chen Zhun looked at the sign at the training base, which was engraved with Southampton's name and their beautiful team emblem. There was some inexplicable excitement in his heart.
Southampton Club. Founded in November 1885, it is a professional football club in Southampton, a port city in Hampshire, southeast England, nicknamed "The Saints". The tree on the Southampton crest represents the greenery and forests of Southampton, the water represents the port and sea of Southampton, and a white rose adds a touch of glory underneath. Southampton have not had much honour in terms of team results, having only won the FA Cup once in 1976. Compared to Southampton's club accolades, Southampton is best known for his academy training. Southampton were also the first teams in the Premier League to have their own academy. Their youth system has nurtured all-time English legend Alan Ball. Speaking of Alan Ball, he was the youngest member of the 1966 World Cup-winning England team and the best player in the final, and twice broke the record for the highest transfer fee for an English player. Rod Wallace, Frances Benelli, Matthew Latissier, a loyal representative of Southampton fans, and Alan Shearer, Premier League striker of the decade, have also been nurtured. These world superstars have all come out of the Southampton Academy to the world stage. Apart from these stars who have been out of sight, Southampton have always been the busiest side of the transfer market every year lately. Gareth Bale, Theo Walcott, Wayne Bridge, Alex Chamberlain, Mogan Schneiderlin, Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana. The players were sent to the Premier League after being processed by Southampton. Chen Zhun sighed in his heart that if these players form a team, then the strength is also very strong. In the new England squad for 2016, as many as seven players came from the Southampton Academy. Southampton's success in youth training is due to the well-structured and healthy youth system, and the quality of their coaching and scouting system being among the best in European football, which gives Southampton a head start in identifying young players. Chen Zhun also knows this. Polarisation is rampant in Premier League clubs, with traditional clubs with a lot of money in their hands able to buy the players they need, while smaller clubs like Southampton are poached by the big clubs and want to keep coming up with new talent to complement their sworn squads. Chen Zhun should take advantage of this.
Chen Zhun now has a preliminary plan in mind. First of all, he has to get familiar with Southampton's first-team players, establish prestige among the players and establish himself. Although Winston and the ones they are already familiar with can no longer be familiar, but now that Winston has become Chen Zhun, things have become completely different. What Chen Zhun is ready to do after getting acquainted with the players is to use the football memories of his past life and Southampton's strong scouting network to find some football superstars who are still unknown and use them for himself.
Chen Zhun came to his office, closed his eyes and waited for the first training session to begin. Southampton's training session starts at 9am, with about half an hour to go.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door. Chen Zhun hurriedly woke up and said, "Please come in." ”
Knocking on the door was the secretary of President Rupert Lowe. The secretary informed him that Luo Wei asked Chen Zhun to go to his office. Chen Zhun felt in his heart that the two people he wanted had done it.
Chen Zhun guessed half right. In fact, it was a person's transfer that was done. That's Les Reid.
Chen Zhun came to the chairman's office and saw three people inside. President Rupert Lowe, Director of Information Janssen, and Les Reid. Chen Zhun has seen his photos in real life. Les Reid is realistically the leader of Southampton's academy and his reform of Southampton's academy has been a success. But now Chen Zhun only intends to let Les Reid assist him. Because he can't think of any other good assistant coach who would come to Southampton.
When the chairman saw Chen Zhun coming in, he said to Chen Zhun kindly: "David, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Les Reid." Your assistant coach, you'll be partners from now on. ”
Chen Zhun admired Rupert Lowe for the first time in his heart, and he got Reed done in one day.
Chen Zhun looked at the tall British man and said, "Rice, welcome to the Southampton Club." ”
Les-Reid modestly said, "David, it's my honor to be your partner. ”
After seeing the two people getting to know each other, Chairman Rupert Rowe continued to say to Chen Zhun: "Arneson's transfer, we are discussing with Tottenham Hotspur, and the result will be available within a week." ”
After hearing this, Chen Zhun nodded. He said, "Looking forward to your good news." ”
Chen Zhun and Reed went to the training ground after saying goodbye to the chairman, and Chen Zhun took Reed to meet other coaches and started the training session.
It was the first time for Chen Zhun to face so many people, and some of the players were familiar to him. Chen Zhun fixed his mind and stood in the middle of them, preparing for today's training deployment. For the training and deployment, Chen Zhun didn't have a clue at first, but fortunately, he read Winston's notes and years of experience in playing FM Rental Manager games, so he started training according to the gourd drawing.
Before the first training began, Chen Zhun introduced himself.
"Hello guys, my name is David Winston. I am honoured to be your head coach. I know some of you know me well, but I'll tell you one thing, everything on the pitch has to be up to me. If there are players who don't play according to my tactical plan, then I'm sorry and just send them to the reserves. Without further ado, let me get to know you and start today's training. Chen Zhun said this to set up a majestic coach for the players first, let them know what the bottom line of the coach in front of them is, and let them completely obey their own arrangements.
The players listened to the steady and powerful words of the new protagonist, and they also heard the authority and principles in the words of the new coach. Captain Reid also welcomed the familiar Winston on behalf of the team, and then introduced Winston to all the members of the first team, most of whom had a good relationship with Winston.
