The camp was over, already a week later. Top Novel,

There are more than a dozen players who get Cambridge United, of course, not to get a contract, it is equivalent to getting the qualification to enter the first team, and most of these dozen players will first enter the Cambridge United youth team, and then wait for their fate to turn again. And the reason why it is the vast majority means that a small part of it is still one step to the sky after all.

These few people who have reached the sky in one step are actually not unexpected, at least not unexpected.

Stam, Francis, Xiao Zhixing, the only small accident is a young man named Oliver Farrell, the position is a defender, it is said that Tang Hua has taken a fancy to his panacea attributes, that is, this little guy is all-round in the midfield.

After signing the contract, several people were given leave to deal with their personal affairs, among which Xiao Zhixing got the longest vacation, ten days, because he was still a student at Cambridge University after all, and he had to deal with much more things than others, as for the others, most of the time was within a week, because after a week, Cambridge United will usher in the pre-season training camp of the new season.

Cambridge United's pre-match training time this summer is not early, and it can even be said that it is a few days later than in previous years, of course, this cannot be because of the America's Cup, nor because of the existence of the training camp, purely because of the relatively large personnel changes of Cambridge United this summer, Tang Hua feels that it is not much meaningful to start pre-season training too early.

This summer, only the first team, excluding the players on loan, Cambridge United has 12 players facing the expiration of their contracts, and in the end, Cambridge United did not leave all of them, but only chose to renew their contracts with five of them, and the other seven players, except for the veteran Chadwick who is considering retirement has not yet been decided, the other six players have returned to the free body and left the team. Their final destination, whether to sign with other first-class teams or continue to return to the second division, is no longer a matter that Tang Hua needs to care about, although he will feel a little guilty in his heart.

Although most of these players who eventually had to leave the team were not the main players of the team, the reason why Cambridge United was able to rush to the first division, these players have no credit and hard work, and refusing to give these people a new contract is not an easy decision, just. It was also a decision that Tang Hua had to make.

On July 10th, Cambridge United ushered in the first training camp before the season, and Tang Hua also ushered in a team that he was familiar with and unfamiliar with.

In the end, Cambridge United still loaned two players from Manchester City, although they were not Tang Hua's first choice, but in League One, they were barely two good reinforcements, one was Ghana midfielder Na'a. The other is Norwegian Belsat Serna.

These two loans, after joining Manchester City, a multi-faceted frontcourt player who has worked in the youth team, regardless of Naa, the addition of Na'a actually ended up using Linsen's personal relationship at Manchester City. Because Na'a is not your average Manchester City youth player. According to Linsen's acquaintance, Manchester City's current youth director Mark Allen, before letting Naa come to Cambridge United, he half-jokingly "warned" Linsen: Naa's future belongs to Manchester City, and Linsen had better not make any decisions.

Lin Sen probably knew why Aaron had such a "warning", on the one hand, of course, because he had learned too much about his ability to dig people, and on the other hand. It was also because Naa did live up to their expectations. Naja, who was also loaned out to Breda in the Eredivisie last season, looks a lot like the legendary standard "black and hard", but his template. In fact, it is another Ghanaian superstar and former Chelsea striker Essien, who is in excellent physical condition but not rough in technique, has a passing ability and is not lacking in creativity.

Let Jean Naa agree to come to Cambridge United, Lin Sen and Tang Hua even had to "deign" to make several phone calls to each other before finally persuading each other to come to Abbe Stadium.

Right now, Na'a was looking at Tang Hua, who seemed to be younger than him, standing in front of him with a slightly hesitant gaze, no one knew what he was thinking at this time, perhaps wondering if the person in front of him was really one of the pieces of Manchester City's behind-the-scenes champion puzzle, or maybe he was simply thinking about whether the decision he had just made was the right one.

And when Naa was observing Tang Hua, he didn't know at this time that he was also being observed.

Collin and George, two men who were almost in a gamble this summer, turned down two invitations that probably no one else on the floor today.

For Colin, Manchester City is not his favorite team, and he has just turned down Manchester City's invitation, but the refusal is a refusal, which does not prevent him from being interested in "Made in Manchester City", he glanced at George standing in front of him diagonally with the corner of his eye, and found that his face was also noisy in the direction of Na'a at this time, obviously paying attention to Na'a.

Colin couldn't help but smile in his heart.

The new season is destined to be interesting, not only because of the pride of the team, but also because the team has its former rivals. Stam was standing behind him at this time, and the guy who George said was crippled was also standing in the front row at this time, standing with the Chinese who was said to have a personal relationship with the head coach.

On the first day of the training camp, however, Tang Hua still continued his coaching style, and did not make any inspiring speeches, but briefly said that he was very happy to see the players return again, and welcomed the arrival of new players, so he ended his speech, and then handed over the time to the players.

Handing over the team to his deputy Alan Nelson, Tang Hua temporarily left the field, but did not return to his office, but bypassed the training ground and came to a small hill behind the training ground, where Lin Sen was sitting leisurely, his eyes were just facing the training ground.

Cambridge United is not a big club, the pitch is not big, the training ground is even smaller, and sitting on a small hill at this time, the situation on the training ground can be seen at a glance.

"It's not me talking about you, you should use this time to leave a deeper impression on the new players, you know, first impressions can sometimes save you a lot of things." Seeing Tang Hua coming over, Lin Sen said helplessly.

Tang Hua's stuffy personality, Lin Sen thought that he should change after becoming the head coach, but it didn't continue like him, and there seemed to be no sign of change.

"No, you don't." Tang Hua said lightly, "We have enough time to get to know each other. ”

Lin Sen smiled when he heard this, and that's it, Tang Hua is right, Cambridge United is not a giant team, and there are no superstars who need the head coach to deliberately please, Tang Hua's character, although it may not be popular when they first get along, but after a long time, it is not a problem to understand.

"Luke decided to retire anyway." Tang Hua found a place next to Lin Sen, and said as Lin Sen sat down.

"Well, that's a pity." Lin Sen said when he heard this.

Luke in Tang Hua's mouth is Chadwick, Chadwick, who is just Chinese New Year's Eve four years old this year, is undoubtedly a veteran, but he is definitely not at the age where he must retire, it just so happens that Chadwick's contract with Cambridge United expires this summer, Tang Hua originally intended to let Chadwick renew his contract, at least for another year, because Chadwick's ability is not to mention, his experience can undoubtedly bring great help to the team, however, Chadwick finally refused Tang Hua's retention and insisted on retiring, Because he doesn't think he has what it takes to continue helping the team.

Obviously, Tang Hua failed to convince Chadwick.

"I want Luke to be on the coaching staff, and the least is for him to go to the youth team first." Tang Hua suddenly asked, "What do you think?" ”

Lin Sen didn't nod or shake his head, but asked, "His opinion?" ”

"I haven't asked him yet, but he has said before that he plans to continue working in football after retiring."

"Then you should ask him first." "If he's interested, that's great." ”

Tang Hua snorted, and then turned his gaze to the training ground.

"How many years do you think it will take?"

"How many years?" Lin Sen turned his head, a little puzzled.

"Back in the Premier League."

"Huh." Lin Sen smiled when he heard this, but he didn't laugh at Tang Hua's lofty ambitions, but just laughed at him that he hadn't forgotten this matter after all, he thought for a while and said, "Tang, before answering your question, I'll tell you something, that is, you just arrived in Spain and I went to Manchester City to meet Karl. ”

Tang Hua nodded, it was the first time he had left his hometown, his homeland, and went to a completely unfamiliar country, of course he would not forget it.

"Actually, the first meeting with Carl didn't talk about much substance, simply put, you asked me and I answered, and most of them were empty words. What really decided that I would go to Manchester City was the second meeting that was just a walk-through procedure, and at that meeting, I realized that Karl had known me for a long time, and that time, Karl showed me a plan, a ten-year plan. ”

"In this ten-year plan, it was very clear that Manchester City gave a plan for what to achieve in three years, what to achieve in five years, and what to accomplish in ten years. At each stage, how much Manchester City will invest, and if they can't achieve the goal, what should they do, it can be said that everything is very small. At that time, this plan was an eye-opener for me, and I was thinking that whether this plan can be realized or not, this is the attitude that an ambitious top club should have. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Sen paused, and then said, "After taking over Cambridge United, I have actually been thinking about making such a plan, of course, the plan cannot be as grand as Manchester City, not only because Cambridge United is not Manchester City, but mainly, I am not Mansour. ”

"This plan is now in its infancy, and you can see it in a few days, because there are some numerical problems that still need Boya's help, but it will definitely not be the same plan as Manchester City, because Manchester City's plan only needs one thing, and that is money, and we don't have that much money, so our plan needs to depend on one thing."

As he spoke, Lin Sen's hand pointed to the training ground.

"Their growth." (To be continued......)
