10 Soldiers

July 20 is the day of Burnley's pre-season training camp, and all Burnley players will gather on this day. Although there is still a period of time before the start of the season, this is George's request. This season, the team's lineup has changed too much, and the tacit understanding is not enough, George must let all the players know their coaching ideas during the training camp.

"Mitchell, what the hell does George want? Why are so many people put into the transfer market. You don't stop it either. "When Grant first arrived at the training base, he saw a familiar figure at the door of the training base.

Mitchell looked at his old partner with a wry smile. "Grant, do you know what will happen if I object? Don't you know George's last name, George will definitely put me in the transfer market. ”

"yes, George's surname is a bit strong." Grant has also worked with George for five years and knows George's hard surname very well. Grant, like Mitchell, has been playing at the club for ten years. He is the old man of Burnley and the main right-back of the Burnley team. Along with goalkeeper Miller, the three are Burnley back veterans. It is also the rear of several of them, and they have performed quite well in the first division.

George was most pleased with Burnley's backline, but the other two defenders had decided to move before the end of the league after relegation. George didn't keep them either, so only Mitchell King, Miller, and Grant remained.

"Don't think about it, old man. We're in the same boat now, let's support George first, you also know that George's ability is still good. Mitchell patted Grant on the shoulder and comforted Grant. After all, many people who have been put into the transfer market by George have worked with Mitchell and Grant for many years, and some feelings are normal.

"By the way, who's here." Grant asked Mitchell as he approached the training base.

"Go in and see for yourself, two young men from Germany arrived at the club early. I heard that George was poached from Germany for free, and they were all players for the business league. Mitchell shrugged, not quite understanding George's choice. Let go of so many players who played in the second division and even played in the first division last season. Now they have poached players from two amateur leagues from Germany.

"Mitchell, then you're busy. I went in first. ”

…………

"Head, congratulations." Daniel Morrison and Ashley Chapman have been with George in the youth team, so they know that George likes to be on time. So today was the first to come out of the dressing room and Daniel was very happy to see George.

George still grimaced and nodded. "Daniel, Ashley, you're in the first team now, don't think I'm going to treat you very well."

"Of course we know that you are the most fair and wise coach. Never used power for personal gain, and ...... "Daniel hippie smiley compliments George. George was also amused by Daniel's words, but now was not the time to joke, so he interrupted Daniel with a wave of his hand. "Okay, don't be poor. Hurry up and take sides. ”

George looked at the twenty-four people in front of him, and his heart was full of pride. These twenty-four people are the first batch of disciples after he really became the head coach. It's just that nearly half of the players are older than George.

The players all know it's the first day of training and they have to meet the new manager. So they all came very early, about half an hour early.

"Good morning, gentlemen." George shrugged, and on either side of George were Thompson and Carl Pat. George stepped forward and greeted the men. "I'm glad that everyone is able to keep the time, so let me introduce myself. I'm George Levy, I'm 27 years old and I've been a coach at Burnley for five years. From the beginning of the new season I will be your manager, you can call me the head or the boss, or you can just call me by my name. ”

'I know I'm young, but there's no way, I'm the manager of the club. Anyone who tries to challenge my authority, I will let him know that being young does not mean being a bully. Of course, I don't want this kind of thing to happen, and it's best for everyone to solve the problem through dialogue. Karl, distribute the player rules that we have in place. George said it with a smile, but that eerie tone made all the players swish behind their backs.

But this was only the first step, and everyone was shocked when they saw the player code issued by Karl. Because George has detailed a series of disciplinary requirements above, including discipline requirements for training grounds, locker rooms, courts, etc. Even if you are a few minutes late, what kind of punishment will there be, it is listed in detail.

As long as the players restrain themselves, there is no problem, but George's dietary regulations are unacceptable to many people. George decided to learn from Arsene Wenger's changes to Arsenal and manage his diet scientifically. And alcohol is absolutely forbidden, and George has stipulated that no player is allowed to drink alcohol at the time of the game and before the game.

George had heard of good wine in England when he was a fan in his last life, but after he actually joined Burnley FC, he understood what good wine is. The next day was about to race, but they were able to get drunk the night before. What's more, they play in the evening and drink at noon. George hated this, but unfortunately Jimmy Mullan didn't care about this before, and George had no say as an ordinary coach. But when you become a manager, the first thing you have to do is to ban alcohol.

"Okay, you can go back and take a look at this thing. But remember, don't break any of them, I'm not going to let them go. George smiled and spoke as he looked at the darkening faces of the England veterans. This year we have eight new players from our club, as well as a couple of younger players from the youth team. Come to the front and introduce yourself. ”

Hearing George's words, Mitchell King consciously stood in front. After watching a few people introduce themselves, Mitchell King also introduced them to the rest of the team.

"Okay." George clapped his hands and let the players get back to their original positions. "There are a lot of changes in the squad for the new season and we now have 24 players. I'm going to tell you that I don't have a main lineup in mind, and you must call me hypocritical. I do have my own ideas, but this is not fixed. I'll see how everyone performs over the next month and whoever performs well will play. It doesn't matter if you're a newcomer to the team or a veteran of the team, it's the same with me. You need to impress me with your own efforts. Whoever is in good shape will be able to play. I will not give anyone, any privileges. ”

It wasn't until everyone present had digested their words that George smiled his truest smile. "We are now a family, and I hope we have a good time working together."
