Chapter Seventy-Two: The Golden Generation 4
"Two."
Speaking of what made him happy, Bonaire's spirit suddenly improved, and his tone lost the jerkiness he had just now, "A central defender, one side of the wing-back." ”
"Yes." Seeing Bonaire's appearance, Lin Sen's mood also seemed to improve, and he said with a smile, "Let's talk about it." ”
"The centre-back is a Dutchman, just turned 19, I should say that he is a little older, but he is already one of the best defenders of his age group I have ever had, his physical condition is excellent, characterized by his header and frontal defense are very prominent, but the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the turn is too slow, too easy to be beaten behind, and the more interesting thing is that his one-on-one defense is not bad."
&n{zhuzhudao.combsp; "The full-back is a Brazilian, with Spanish nationality, so there is no need to worry about the labor certification, his characteristics, it's hard to say, it is said that he was born in wild football, and he has not received much systematic training, but his skills are good, although some ...... Weird, in short, this guy is definitely a maniac. features, I think you should see it with your own eyes. ”
……
Bonaire gushed endlessly, and quickly introduced his two surprises, while Lin Sen nodded as he listened.
Look, it's definitely going to be seen. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hold this training camp outside of his age, and he was also curious about what could make Bonaire so excited. Although, in his opinion, Bonaire is probably exaggerating. After all, this is Cambridge, not Manchester, geniuses can not ask where they come from, but the place where geniuses go is very elegant, and when they can meet a Xiao Zhixing at Cambridge University, Lin Sen already feels that he has won the lottery once, and he doesn't dare to expect the lottery to win three in one hit.
"It's a pity that neither Stam nor Francis are homegrown players, and this time the homegrown players are so disappointing." After being excited, Bonaire said with some regret.
Bonaire's regret is not only a local plot, but a consideration for an academy coach. Stam and Francis are good, but they are still "outsiders" after all. The most important point of the so-called youth training is loyalty. The sense of belonging to the club that the players who have been cultivated since childhood is a wealth that money cannot buy, because it is not only about time, but also about origin. And now, Lin Sen's release of age has made the "youth training" lose time, and Stam and Francis are not even pure.
However, there is no way to do it, who will let the local players in this training camp not compete? Not only in terms of ability, Bonaire did not find a player worthy of a second glance. Even the two previous fights in the stadium were caused by local players, and one of them was even a local.
Lin Sen can understand Bonaire's disappointment somewhat, of course, he himself does not have much of this emotion, one is naturally that he is not British, and the second is because he did not have too many expectations for the so-called local team.
It's true that England is a football kingdom, but geniuses don't just because you're a football kingdom. The difference is only whether it has been unearthed or not. Like China, which is known as a football desert, the population base is huge, but the proportion of football population is really pitiful, which is not a question of whether there is a genius or not. It's that you don't even have a chance to discover it.
Therefore, Lin Sen didn't expect local players to have any players who could surprise him, of course. Yes is the best. Moreover, Linson himself does not advocate England's youth training model, for no other reason. The characteristics of the players from the English youth training model are too simple, as if they are assembly line products made by football factories.
Of course, this does not mean to belittle the quality of the English players, rather, it is not a question of ability, but of need. Taking the Premier League as an example, when thinking of the Premier League, many people's first impression is rhythm and scrambling, and these two points alone determine many things, such as the requirements for physical fitness.
Therefore, in European football, there are many proper nouns for English players, such as English full-back, English central midfielder, English central forward...... In almost every location, you can bring a British style, and moreover, the characteristics are distinctive.
These terms are both positive and deprecating.
There is nothing wrong with the development of a player's ability to adapt to the league, but it is bound to limit the development of the player's ability, and this is one of the reasons why England players rarely succeed in foreign leagues, and even why the England team is always more ambitious than paper in the competition.
Of course, it is impossible for Linsen to change the current situation of English football, because this is determined by the general environment of the league. However, with Cambridge United, who has the final say, he can completely change something.
"So, the old rules?" Seeing that Lin Sen didn't speak, Bonaire said.
Seeing Lin Sen nodded, Bonaire didn't say much, turned around and walked to the training ground.
Soon, all the participants in the training ground were gathered, and after a short speech, these people were quickly divided into three teams, tentatively named ABC......
It's called the old rules.
The coaching staff would divide all the players into teams and then have them play a half-hour training game, like the three teams today, three games, that is, two games per team. The purpose of the training match is very simple, that is, to investigate, of course, on the surface, the coaching staff is inspecting, but in fact, the focus is still on Lin Sen's vision.
Xiao Zhixing may never have dreamed that he would one day enter a professional football club for training.
He immigrated to this football country with his parents at the age of eight, but his growth trajectory is not much different from that of children in China. Xiao Zhixing is very smart, he almost skipped all the way to Cambridge University, and even in the elite Cambridge University, he is just as outstanding, otherwise, with his skin color, no matter what racial equality he preaches, he would not be the captain of this university football team.
Xiao Zhixing is about to turn 19 this year, but he is already about to graduate from this prestigious university. If he hadn't met Lin Sen, after graduation, maybe in time, Xiao Zhixing would have been an executive of a well-known company, but now, he has come here.
"Do you know Lin?" Just as Xiao Zhixing was wandering leisurely along the edge of the court, a voice came from beside him.
As soon as Xiao Zhixing turned around, he couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart, good guy, standing in front of him was a strong man who was nearly two meters tall and looked like an iron tower, it was Stam who had already met George and Colin before.
"Sort of acquaintance." Xiao Zhixing thought for a moment, then nodded and said.
"Count?" Stam raised an eyebrow.
"We've only known each other for less than three days." Xiao Zhixing explained with a smile, and then stretched out his hand, "My name is Xiao Zhixing." ”
"Stam." Stam also held out his hand and said, "You're in luck. ”
"Luck?" Xiao Zhixing smiled, "Do you mean that I know Lin?" ”
"Isn't it?"
"Of course." Xiao Zhixing shrugged his shoulders, "At least, if it weren't for Lin, I wouldn't be here today." ”
……
A simple conversation was quickly interrupted by a whistle from the coach.
Looking at Stam who soon returned to the field, Xiao Zhixing did not follow, he was about to become a member of the same place as Stam, but after all, it was not yet, he turned his head to look for Lin Sen, and found that Lin Sen had already walked towards him.
"You go too."
Walking in front of Xiao Zhixing, Lin Sen said lightly.
Xiao Zhixing was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little surprised, but he didn't ask more, just nodded, and then ran into the field quickly.
Seeing that Bonaire quickly incorporated Xiao Zhixing into one of the teams, Lin Sen found a relatively clean place on the sidelines, sat down, and then began to look at the players in the field one by one.
At this time, there are more than 30 players in the field, the age is uneven, the body is also tall, short and thin, at this time the coaching staff seems to be casually turned into a queue of players The mood is even different, Lin Sen can roughly know what the players are thinking at this time, Cambridge United's training camp is eliminated, and it is not decided whether to eliminate at the end, but from the beginning of the elimination, that is, not every player who comes here can stay until the end to get judged.
Of course, this is Lin Sen's "single-mindedness" again.
Letting go of age is not the only feature of this training camp, letting go of time is also one of them.
Therefore, Cambridge United's training camp has new players coming here almost every day, but there are also players leaving almost every day, and the judging criteria are largely determined by the training matches, especially when Lin Sen is present.
Linsen's eyes on the sidelines quickly fell on Stam.
It's just that it's not because of the special emotional color on Stam's head, but because his figure is a little too outstanding.
Bonaire said that it was all good, that he was a defender with great physical fitness.
At this time, there was a calm glow on the top of Stam's head, and it seemed that he was not nervous about the upcoming training match.
A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Sen's mouth, and his gaze immediately left Stam and then moved, and then, when his gaze shifted to another young man, his gaze suddenly froze, and his heart moved.
The color on the top of this young man's head is the same as that of Stam, except that his color is more condensed, and according to Lin Sen's understanding of color, the heart is like water.
Of course, what attracted Lin Sen's attention was not only because of this, but because the color on the top of this young man's head actually faintly had a downward trend, at first, Lin Sen thought that he was dazzled, but after he confirmed it again and again, he knew that his eyes did not deceive him.
The color on the top of the young man's head was indeed flowing, although it was not noticeable. (To be continued......)
