Chapter 125: A Trip to Wuhan
After a few more days of formation and physical recovery, the Southampton players feel exactly the same as they did when they first started training. www.biquge.info Chen Zhun was also in a good mood when he looked at these young and energetic players, and the old players were also trying their best to pass on all their experience to the young players during training. The current Southampton team can be described as strong.
After a long flight, the Southampton team finally arrived in Wuhan, but the scene after the end of the game was unforgettable for their lives. The Southampton players didn't expect too many fans to greet them, but the airport was filled with fans, some holding Southampton scarves and badges, some of the players' fans, and of course Alan Shearer and Roberto Ayala were the majority. But such a scene is also very gratifying for them. Chen Zhun saw all this, and he always felt that these fans were bought by Yue Soul to create an atmosphere.
After passing through the warm reception at the airport, the Southampton team was in a good mood, giving them the illusion that their influence in other countries was also very high. After staying at the airport for a while, Chen Zhun and the members of the Southampton team went to the hotel to rest, and then rushed to the training ground for physical recovery training.
Wuhan, referred to as Han, also known as Jiangcheng, is the capital of Hubei Province, a sub-provincial city, and a national regional central city (Central China), located in the eastern part of the Jianghan Plain and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and is a central city in central China, an important industrial base, science and education base and comprehensive transportation hub in China.
Chen Zhun in his previous life had never been to Wuhan, but he had been yearning for Wuhan's food for a long time, and it seems that this trip to Wuhan can be fulfilled.
After Chen Zhun and the players trained at the training ground for half a day, they were pulled by Lin Seshu and the team's management to start doing activities, because generally going abroad to play warm-up games, more than half of the time is used to participate in activities, and these activities should be used to increase the popularity and influence of the club, and of course, finance.
Chen Zhun and the team members first went to a large shopping mall in Wuhan, where there were Yue Soul and Lin Seshu's company and the counter they set up, they wanted to promote the company and the counter products there, and then after doing the publicity, they began to rush to the next shopping mall to continue to repeat such activities, half a day later, Chen Zhun and his team members ran a total of five large shopping malls in Wuhan, so that Chen Ze and the team members began to miss how leisurely the training match was.
By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and after dinner, Chen Zhun did not let the team members conduct night training. Anyway, there are still two days left before the warm-up game, and the players can't be ruined by such aggressive training.
Time also passed quickly, fortunately, the next day was calm, Lin Seshu did not appear again, and the players could sweat well on the training ground with peace of mind. There weren't a lot of fans who came to watch, but there were still enthusiastic fans who watched Southampton's players train in the heat, and of course, the fans came to see Alan Shearer. Alain Shearer's influence in China is unquestionable.
Chen Zhun's training on this day is mainly based on passing coordination, and now the players' passing tacit understanding is far from enough to show in the rhythm of the Premier League's game, what they need most now is the run-in of time, the longer they play together, the more they can exert strong control, of course, Chen Zhun is glad that he has a group of players with a very good sense of ball and coordination, plus the players who joined last season have a good sense of anti-robbery and defense in their minds and bodies have been trained by Chen Zhun to have a good sense of counter-robbery and defense, which has greatly improved this set of new tactics, It saves a lot of trouble. Just right, let's take tomorrow's Wuhan team.
Speaking of this newly promoted team in China's top league, Chen Zhun also has a vague memory of them, but he knows that they used to be a strong team that should not be underestimated in the top league, but Chen Zhun forgot what happened to the Wuhan team after that, which led to the sudden collapse of the team, causing the team to disappear, and it is still embarrassing to think about it.
Chen Zhun is going to participate in the pre-match press conference today, at this moment, Arneson called, Chen Zhun had asked him to go to his home in his previous life, and asked him to pick up David Winston, of course, Arneson brought good news, Chen Zhun's parents agreed with David Winston's decision to be a player, perhaps because of the management of Lin Seshu's company, presumably, Yue Soul and Lin Seshu's company still has a lot of influence in China, plus the Premier League club is not like the domestic youth team, Southampton's academy team does not charge any fees, on the contrary, he will also give a certain financial subsidy to the academy players every month, which is one of the key reasons for Chen Zhun's parents' consent. Of course, there is still a faint pain in Chen Zhun's heart, because he couldn't see his parents, which is a big regret, but think about what if he sees it, he can't recognize each other, this pain will be even more miserable. Fortunately, there are good memories left, and Arneson tells Chen Zhun that they will be able to reach Wuhan one day. Successfully picked up David Winston, who was then to register, and he can only be placed in the youth team now. However, the issue of future registration remains a thorny one. This question is still a long time, and I will think about it later.
At the pre-game press conference, Chen Zhun attended with the head coach of the Wuhan team, but what surprised Chen Zhun was that the head coach of the Wuhan team was not the coach Pei in his impression, but a young coach who was about the same age as him and surnamed Lan. This is still a big change, and Chen Zhun can't figure out who the coach called Coach Lan in the mouth of reporters is sacred. Chen Zhun watched the blue coach talk eloquently from the side, a little delusional, of course, such care in the home team's games is inevitable, and the media reporters present must have a very limited understanding of the Southampton team. Throughout the pre-match press conference, Chen Zhun was asked two questions, one is whether he can win, and the other is how the opponent is.
After the boring and surprising pre-game press conference, Chen Zhun did not stay, and returned to the training ground, today's training match was arranged by Chen Zhun to be in a closed state, it can be seen that Chen Zhun still attaches great importance to this first warm-up game, is to get off to a good start, and make a good start to the journey of this season.
---------
Wuhan Stadium, Southampton and Wuhan team will start the game immediately.
The Wuhan Stadium was packed, and of course half of these tickets were given away. Yue Soul and Lin Seshu were also sitting in the VIP seats now, carefully watching the upcoming game.
Chen Zhun's lineup today is a 433 formation. The goalkeeper is Rene Adler, and the back line is Leiden Baines, Roberto Ayala, Luis Pereira and Luke Young. The single midfielder is Clemens Fritz, the two in front of him are Miguel Arteta and Yaya Toure, the two wingers are Peter Trohovski and Adam Lallana, and the single striker is David Villa. This lineup is also the first time Chen Zhun has used it in an official game, so it is necessary to see how the real actual combat strength is.
At the beginning of the game, the Wuhan team took the lead in kicking off, and Chen Zhun sat in the coach's seat, watching the blue coach next door shouting on the sidelines from the beginning. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to the victory or defeat of this Haicang game.
But Chen Zhun couldn't see any tactical ideas of the blue director in this game, it was completely X**T!! One will be a cross from the wing, one will be a long shot, one will be a breakthrough, and one will be a long pass. It's a complete hodgepodge of tactics of all kinds.
Not only did Chen Zhun not understand, but the players who were playing on the field were also confused. But fortunately, their tactical execution ability is very high, and they still follow the tactics formulated by Chen Zhun, that is, to control the ball, control the ball, and then look for opportunities between calm and fast.
The game came to an almost insane 15th-minute run of Southampton's possession, and the fans were already booing in dissatisfaction. But just as the boos were rising, Southampton's players were already on the attack. After Clemens Fritz successfully steals the ball from Wuhan in the midfield, he quickly passes the ball to Yaya Toure, who receives the ball and begins to rush from the midfield to the Wuhan team's penalty area, and Yaya Toure rushes all the way into a no-man's land. The physical fitness of the players of the Wuhan team can not be compared with Yaya Toure's small body, seeing that Yaya 0 Toure immediately burst into the penalty area, the players of the Wuhan team had to put Yaya Toure, a good free kick opportunity.
Miguel Arteta takes the penalty, runs, takes the penalty! Pretty!! The ball is in!
Southampton scored comfortably for the first time! Kick!
The stadium finally burst into a rare cheer!
The Southampton players also hugged together and celebrated the goal!
Chen Zhun who was sitting in the coach's seat was not happy, because against the Wuhan team, it was not a question of winning, but a question of scoring a few goals.
Five minutes after the free-kick went in, Southampton scored again.
After Luke Young broke through the Wuhan player on the wing, he crossed directly into the box, and David Villa ran around in the box, dodging the Wuhan defenders and then scooping home.
Two minutes later, Southampton scored again, a flurry of possession, before Miguel Arteta delivered a lethal through ball that David Villa picked up again and then blasted the ball into the net again.
Just before half-time, Southampton scored again when Yaya Toure fired home from distance. In the end, the score was fixed at 4-0, the game had lost its suspense, and Chen Zhun was also ready to replace all the players in the second half, and then continue to exercise the next lineup.
Goalkeeper Sebastian Frei, Nicky Shorey, Laurent Koscielny, Lescott, Stefan Lichtsteiner. The twin midfielders are Marek Hamsik, Las Diarra, the midfielder is David Silva, the two wingers are Franck Ribery and Franmikiel Smitchell, and the forward is Alan Shearer.
There was a burst of cheers from the fans in the stadium when they heard Alan Shearer's name, because they knew that Alan Shearer's game was one less game.
Of course, the game was still firmly controlled by the mighty Southampton team.
The players on the field also gave the old captain and old-timer Alan Shearer enough face, frequently giving him the ball and giving him a chance to shoot and score. Of course, Alan Shearer's marksmanship laughed at the team's feed. In the first ten minutes of the game, three goals were scored in a row, and now the score has reached a disparity of 7-0.
Of course, every time Alan Shearer scored, the fans in the stadium erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
The Wuhan team had given up resistance by this time, but they were getting bigger and bigger, which forced Chen Zhun to stand up after sitting in the coach's seat for 60 minutes. Because he was very worried about such a situation, he was afraid that the Wuhan team would deliberately hurt his own players. Chen Zhun himself is familiar with the invincible serial fatal legs, which is a domestic feature.
Fortunately, the referee of this game controlled the rhythm of the game very well, did not let the Wuhan team have more tragic actions, and finally the game was fixed at a score of 7-0, and the players of the Southampton team also took proper care of the mood of the Wuhan team, did not attack, but controlled the game as much as possible.
After the game, Chen Zhun and the Southampton team members returned to the hotel easily, because tomorrow they can go to Wuhan to visit, eat delicious food and see the scenery.
Wuhan food can be described as a morning and a night, too early and supper are the most classic, there is a beautiful talk of "taste Hubu Lane in the morning, eat Jiqing Street at night". Wuhan cuisine adheres to the style of Hubei cuisine, brings together the essence of east, west, north and south, and has rich and diverse dishes, and has its own characteristics, making it a famous "food capital".
Wuhan's special snacks include hot dry noodles, three fresh bean skins, noodle nests, rice cakes, shredded beans, Huanxituo, duck neck, Wuchang fish, pork ribs and lotus root soup, fried bacon with Hongshan cabbage, glutinous rice cakes, etc.
After a full meal and a meal of cleaning, Chen Zhun and the soldiers returned to Southampton City together, the only thing that changed was that David Winston did not go to Wuhan, but followed Arneson directly back to Southampton, Chen Zhun and David Winston's first meeting was postponed to Southampton City, and Chen Zhun's nervous mood had to last for two days.
This trip to Wuhan actually had no effect on Chen Zhun and his team members, and it could not play a role in training troops at all. But Yue Soul and Lin Seshu's decision, Chen Zhun couldn't refute it. But fortunately, seeing the emergence of Chen Zhun's new tactics for the first time also allowed Chen Zhun to have better modifications and adjustments to the new formation.
In the plane, Chen Zhun looked thoughtfully at the clouds outside, what should his meeting with David Winston be like? (To be continued.) )
