Brian Kidd is a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses and a slightly fat build. He was originally an assistant to Mark Hughes, which meant that if the team could not find the rest of the manager, Manchester City's manager should be his.

If Manchester City had found a world-renowned manager, Brian Kidd might not have been so angry. But now the team is looking for a graduate who has just stepped into society from an ivory tower, not to mention that he is still a Chinese.

Wang Xuan can also understand Brian Kidd's resentment, but he will not allow Brian Kidd to bring his emotions to work.

As for Ruben Casrias Firth, he is an Argentine who knows he is not fit to be the manager of a team in Europe's top league, but he has a grudge for his friend. He felt that he was more qualified than Wang Xuan for the position of head coach.

"Sir, I would like to know how you have arranged the skills and tactics of the team now." After a long silence, Brian Kidd finally spoke.

Wang Xuan's frowning brow relaxed slightly, at least Brian Kidd didn't come up aggressively and messing around, but asked a question closely related to the work of the head coach.

"Originally, I was going to discuss with you about the tactical aspects of the team, this is my personal vision and arrangement, you can see first." Wang Xuan picked up the tactical plan he had written yesterday from his desk and handed it to Brian Kidd.

The tactical arrangement was written in great detail, and Brian Kidd pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at them carefully.

Brian slowly read through the pages, chuckled, and said, "4-2-3-1-?" It's an ideal tactic, and I don't think it's going to work. And it's not for Manchester City at all. ”

Brian was about to continue to complain about the tactics designed by Wang Xuan, but Wang Xuan interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Brian doesn't talk about other things, how about we make a bet?" ”

Brian also thought that Wang Xuan would give him an example to discuss the feasibility of this tactic, and he prepared a long speech, but he didn't expect Wang Xuan to come to such a sentence.

"How are you going to bet? Why should I bet with you? Brian said.

Wang Xuan drank all the coffee in the cup and said, "Aren't you going to listen to my conditions?" I don't think it would hurt you to accept the bet. ”

Brian made a gesture of please and motioned for Wang Xuan to continue.

"For a month, if my tactics prove to be viable, you put away your resentment and be my assistant. If it turns out that I can't do it, how about I leave the class and recommend you to Fahim as the head coach of the team? Of course, the premise is that you work well during the month. ”

Brian said: "What kind of situation would prove that your tactics worked?" ”

"All the way to the League Cup, the top four in the league standings." Wang Xuan said lightly.

Brian had been smiling faintly, but the smile on his face froze at the moment. He never thought that Wang Xuan would be so Haikou in his crotch.

You know, last season Manchester City only finished ninth in the Premier League with 55 points, and it is still relying on the fair play ranking to be able to participate in this season's League Cup qualification. Even if the club was bought by a Middle Eastern owner this season, and the team did buy it in the summer, it will still be very difficult to build this almost new team into a top-four team in the Premier League.

"Are you sure?" Brian asked, uncertain. He felt that Wang Xuan was a little arrogant, and he was a little arrogant.

Wang Xuan nodded and said, "Sure." ”

Brian lowered his head and pondered, but Wang Xuan smiled and said, "What else do you have to think about?" Now I'm the manager of the team and it's my responsibility to have bad results, and I don't have a pound to do with you. And now that the media is all aimed at me, you don't have any pressure. ”

Brian looked at Wang Xuan's unusually young face again, and said secretly in his heart: "The goal he set for himself is almost impossible to achieve, but this guy is right, all the pressure is on him, it has nothing to do with me, and maybe I can become the head coach of the team in the end." Thinking of this, he nodded vigorously and said, "Okay! I promise you. ”

Brian was completely unacceptable to work as an assistant coach under Wang Xuan, a young and unknown head coach. He originally wanted to meet the young over-the-top manager today, and then he had a showdown with the club, and if the club questioned the need for Wang Xuan to be the head coach, he would submit his resignation to the club together with Ruben.

However, Wang Xuan always controlled the rhythm of the conversation. Brian was completely guided by Wang Xuan and finally chose to compromise.

A triumphant smile appeared on Wang Xuan's face, "Brian, then it's time for us to discuss the team's next training situation and content." Here's a plan I made, you can take a look at it first. On the 14th, we have to play Midilante at home and we need to prepare a little bit as well. ”

Brian nodded, he was already in working mode. I have to say that his professionalism is still very high. After agreeing to Wang Xuan to devote himself to work within a month, he immediately restrained all his emotions and devoted himself to his work.

"4-2-3-1 is our main tactic for the new season. Hart as the main goalkeeper. At the back, Zabaleta plays at right-back, Richards and Vincent Kompany play at centre-back, and Baynes is the ideal left-back for me, with Ball at left-back. In midfield, Bruno Fernandes and Elano played as a double midfielder. Johnson plays left wing-back and Wright plays right-wing-back. Robinho plays as a midfielder, as a centre-forward. ”

After a pause, Wang Xuan said: "4-2-3-1 has high physical requirements for players, but we have a lot of midfielders, and rotation is not a problem. And the two wing-backs can drop back at any time, so we can play 4-4-2 and attack directly from the back. We could even take down Robinho and go straight to 4-5-1. ”

"That's a very high demand for the midfielders, and Elano isn't up to the task." Brian Road.

Wang Xuan nodded and said, "So, I chose Mendieta." There is also Fernando in Porto. Mendieta's experience and footwork, combined with Fernando's interception and protection, should have surprised me. ”

"The midfield is stacked with most of the defensive midfielders and the midfielders are very tackling. And we have a strong attack on the wings, but there is one of the most important problems here. We have a lot of midfielders, but it's hard to find a playmaker. A scrapped and retired Mendieta, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take on the heavy responsibility. Brian frowned and said.

"Mendieta has a lot of experience, and he is far from being physically fit to retire, so he can still use it. If our configuration proves to be viable, we could bring in another playmaker in the winter transfer. ”

“……”

“……”

Wang Xuan and Brian were discussing and fine-tuning the tactics, and when they finalized the tactics, they worked out the next training plan with Reuben.

They discussed it all morning, and it wasn't until half past twelve that they came up with a complete set of tactics and training plans.

Wang Xuan sorted out the A4 paper on the table, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Let's eat!" The afternoon training went as planned. ”

“OK！” Brian and Ruben nodded.
