Chapter 11: The Players
After lunch, Wang Xuan sat alone in the office and closed his eyes to recuperate. Today was his first morning as Manchester City manager and he was already feeling the pressure to sit in that position.
Not to mention the long guns and short guns in the face of those media in the morning, it was that he stabilized Brian and Ruben before, and he wasted his old strength.
Wang Xuan knew very well in his heart that Ruben and Brian were almost wearing the same pair of pants, and Ruben was almost the first to look at Brian. So he had to stabilize Brian as soon as he came up, and then look for an opportunity to take Brian, otherwise he wouldn't want to continue his work after that.
Fortunately, as soon as Wang Xuan came up, he chased and beat hard, and then lured Brian with a gambling contract, and finally won it in one fell swoop. In fact, Wang Xuan also thought of this trick, if this trick didn't work, he was afraid that he would have no other way. Fortunately, Brian was not too tough, and Wang Xuan's plan was successfully implemented.
However, it is time to stabilize Bryan and Ruben for the time being, but if the team does not do well, their mentality may fluctuate immediately. The team is not mature enough, they don't have enough trust in themselves as a manager. However, the work is going relatively smoothly now.
Wang Xuan thought about the situation and plan to meet the players in the afternoon, and then closed his eyes and went into a nap.
At half past two in the afternoon, it was time for the team to gather for training, and at two o'clock Ruben was standing at the door of the locker room with a stack of small cards.
Soon, a handsome young man with a tall nose and a faint smile appeared in Ruben's sight. Reuben greeted him with a smile, "Hey! Good afternoon, Elano! ”
"Good afternoon!" Elano replied politely.
Ruben reached Elano with a card and a pen, "Hey! Elano, you need to sign it. ”
Elano glanced at Ruben with a puzzled look, and Ruben shrugged and said, "This is the rule of your new coach. ”
Although Elano didn't understand why, he signed his name in style, just like signing an autograph for a fan.
Soon the players arrived one after another, and they all entered the dressing room after Ruben's signature. Soon Reuben came to Wang Xuan's office with a stack of cards, "Sir, a total of 27 people, all came, and no one was late." ”
Wang Xuan took the card and glanced at it casually and put it in the drawer of the office, "Got it, you take them to warm up first!" I'll be there in a moment. ”
Reuben: "Hmm! With that, he turned and left. Wang Xuan added: "Don't call me Mr. in the future, just call me by my name." ”
Reuben said, "Yes, King." Then he left.
Wang Xuan sat on the chair and took out a stack of autograph cards handed to him by Ruben just now, and he carefully looked through them one by one.
Wang Xuan asked these players to sign for nothing else, just to give himself a psychological hint - they all have to listen to me!
In fact, Wang Xuan is still a little nervous when he has to face these big-name stars. After all, he used to only watch them perform on TV, and after he came to Manchester, he only went to the Theatre of Dreams to watch one game, and he still sat at the back of the seat. Now, he's up close to these stars, and he's going to be their manager.
If it was Wang Xuan in the past, he might not be as good as Robinho's leg. This guy can be worth the value of the Premier League transfer bid and transfer from Real Madrid to Manchester City for 42 million euros, 32.5 million pounds.
Eight-digit money, not at the beginning, the unit is not RMB. Such a huge amount of money was something that Wang Xuan had never imagined before. Even now, he only dared to think about how much money he could make. Whether you can really earn it or not depends on two words.
Seeing through the large window of the office that the players were about to finish warming up, Wang Xuan picked up a pair of sunglasses from the table, and then arranged his suit and hairstyle in front of the mirror.
I saw my image in the mirror, my black hair was combed back with hairspray, sunglasses that blocked one-third of my face, and a black suit. Seeing his image like this, Wang Xuan couldn't help but think of the Matrix.
"It's kind of handsome!" Wang Xuan muttered to himself.
When the players warmed up, Wang Xuan slowly came to the side of the court.
Seeing the young figure in black walking slowly, the players on the field consciously stopped discussing.
Wang Xuan walked up to the players and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am your new head coach. I don't have much to say, just one thing I want to emphasize. In my team, there are no big names and no sale, and there are no absolute workhorses. The squad for all matches is based on the state of training and attitude. If you are late for training, you will be able to train your physical fitness according to the time you are late, and Ruben will tell you in detail. ”
"If you think you're an indispensable part of my tactical routine and you're training negatively, you're wrong, I'd rather change tactics than let you be in my squad."
Wang Xuan observed the expressions on the players' faces, and seeing that they were all a little serious, Wang Xuan secretly rejoiced in his heart, "There is one more thing I need to remind you." You may think that I am young and inexperienced, and that my results in leading the team will be terrible, and I will soon be gone. But you can think about it, why would it take me three months, or even half a year, to get out. I'm going to be sure to put the guy who dares to challenge me on the bench before I get out of here. If I get out and you're still in shape, then all I can say is ...... You win. But I guess none of you want to be a winner, do you? ”
After a pause, Wang Xuan's words changed sharply, and he said: "We have an ancient saying in China, called 'ugly words are said in front', what I said just now is my bottom line, as long as no one touches my bottom line, there will be no problem." Everyone trains well, plays well, and everything else is easy to say. ”
After Wang Xuan finished speaking, he motioned for the players to start training, and he stood on the sidelines like a black statue.
Although Wang Xuan studied well in the professional courses in college, it was just a theory, and today was just his first contact with the training of a professional team. So he played the role of a spectator the whole time today.
Wang Xuan took a small book on the sidelines and kept recording on it. No one knows what he's writing, but because of his actions, the players are more serious and engaged in training.
During this period, Robinho made a low-level ball stop mistake because of his distraction, and he hurriedly looked at Wang Xuan and found that Wang Xuan's eyes seemed to be looking at him. Robinho immediately avoided Wang Xuan's gaze with some weakness, but Wang Xuan didn't say anything, which made him secretly relieved.
The players were originally a little disgusted by the wave of pressure that Wang Xuan came up to pretend, after all, he was still too young and lacked prestige!
But Wang Xuan only recorded and observed on the sidelines all afternoon, and some of them made mistakes and wandered and didn't see anything from Wang Xuan. In addition, Wang Xuan smiled and said goodbye to everyone in a friendly manner after the training, and their little disgust with Wang Xuan slowly disappeared.
However, after the player disbanded, Wang Xuan hurriedly walked to the office, which made Brian and Reuben, who originally wanted to say goodbye to Wang Xuan, a little confused.
And Wang Xuan's hurried departure was because the "Football Peak System" sent him a hint......
