Beckham's ability is quite comprehensive, except for the unexpectedly high evaluation value of set-pieces, other personal attributes and abilities are not bad, at least he can be the best among Premier League players.

Salgado is a bit worse by comparison, with his overall personal rating of 86, which is a mediocre number even in the Manchester City team.

Wan Sheng was puzzled by Salgado's ability evaluation.

After carefully examining each of Salgado's personal attribute ability evaluations, Wansheng found out the reason, Salgado's other attribute ability evaluations are good, but there is a gap in the attribute data in terms of physical fitness and body, and these values have dragged down his comprehensive evaluation.

It has to do with Salgado's age.

Salgado is over 31 years old, and although many professional players can still maintain their form for a long time after the age of 30, it is clear that Salgado is not one of them, and his physical condition begins to decline after the age of 30, or even around the age of 30.

Wan Sheng didn't care about this.

He didn't want to buy a player who really had the ability to be a first-choice centre-back, it was enough to have two big players in the midfield, Copelle Ferreira and Dunn, and if there was a strong centre-back, then it would be like a competition between Anelka and Darren Bent up front, and he would have to worry about the player's playing time.

With Salgado's ability and experience, he is just right to supplement the lineup as a substitute at the back.

After all, objectively speaking, Manchester City's backfield lineup is not much worse than Real Madrid, Salgado plays as a substitute in Real Madrid, but there is no reason to become the main force in Manchester City.

After the team regrouped, Wan Sheng introduced Beckham and Salgado to everyone.

Many at Manchester City are looking forward to Beckham's arrival. The team has never had a 'such a big name' star before, not to mention, Beckham is definitely a 'legend' in England, even if there are many famous stars in the team, but compared with Beckham, it is a little overshadowed.

There are also many very young players in the squad, such as Mesut Ozil, David Silva, Boateng, Leto Ziegler, Lescott, etc., and almost all of them, whether they are famous or not, have grown up listening to the name of David Beckham. So they're excited to be teammates with David Beckham.

In this kind of scene, Salgado has become a foil again.

After discovering that Wansheng spoke Spanish very well, whenever he became a foil, Salgado liked to stand next to Wansheng, and then looked at Beckham with a bitter face, and said, "It's David's time again." ”

"Haha." Wan Sheng smiled and shook his head. 'It's different this time, Mitchell, you're also a Manchester City player, you should get acquainted with these young guys.'

"I'm going to talk to you about it. Old. ”

In a word, Wan Sheng's face immediately turned black, doesn't this mean that he is already old?

After a few words of chatting with Wan Sheng, Salgado walked up to David Silva and chatted with Silva. He and Silva are both Spanish players, so there is another reason why they can still say a few words. Salgado's English pronunciation is not standard, and it is difficult for him to communicate with his England team-mates normally.

After the players got to know each other, the team's normal training began.

In the coming period, the team's biggest training goal is to get David Beckham and Salgado up to the game as quickly as possible so they can play for the team.

The team's tactics have matured, the slightly cold temperatures are not suitable for new training, and most of the players in the team have reached a certain level of individual ability, and if they want to rely on individual training to improve their ability, even if it is just a circular task, it is not something that can be completed in a few days.

Therefore, Wansheng's short-term training for the team is mainly only two aspects, one is physical fitness and state recovery training, and the other is tactical training.

The purpose of the whole team is to make the old players more familiar with the tactics and cooperate with their teammates more tacitly, and the new players can deepen their understanding of the tactics, and under the drive of the whole team, they can adapt to the tactics as soon as possible and form a certain degree of tacit understanding with the new teammates.

The veteran players in the team, those who were in the team last season, have adapted to the tactics quite well, and the new players are not limited to Beckham and Salgado, in fact, Ozil, Boateng, and even Bergkamp and Downing have not really adapted to the tactics, and their cooperation with others has not reached the expected level.

So tactical training is still the focus.

City's tactics are very complex right now, and it's fair to say that it takes a long time for each new player to really adapt, but just to be able to play with the team doesn't require too much tactical proficiency.

If the degree of proficiency in tactics is divided into three levels, the first level is unqualified, the second level is to be able to play with the team, it is not difficult to do this level, capable players can do it in a few days, more than ten days, after all, in tactical training, there is the whole team as a whole, coupled with the understanding of tactics, as long as you can keep up with the rhythm is equivalent to qualified, but if you want to do the third level - fully adapt to tactics, familiar with the team, it is very difficult, which requires a thorough understanding of tactics, and a certain degree of tacit understanding with teammates, There are not even half of the people in the team who can do this, and even among those 'old players', there are many people who are not very good at tactical awareness and can't do it at all.

Wansheng's requirements for players are not so high, and at present, they only need to let Beckham and Salgado adapt to the rhythm of the team and play normally with the team.

As long as you can enter the team's tactical system, I believe that with the experience and ability of Beckham and Salgado, it is enough to have an outstanding performance.

――――

On January 10, the team resumed training for two days, and the English FA Cup was ushered in.

According to the rules of the FA Cup, teams from the English Premier League and the English Championship will be joined from the third round of the match (round of 64).

In the draw for the third round of the FA Cup before Christmas, club general manager Bill Nix helped the team draw against Macclesfield, an Anglo-African United (English Amateur Football Premier League) team.

Manchester City are at the top of the Premier League and Macclesfield is just an amateur league team. The gap between the two teams is very large, Manchester City is still playing at home, and there is no pressure on Manchester City in the game.

Before the game, club president Waddell expressed his attitude, "All ticket sales for this game belong to Macclesfield. ”

This is kind of supporting the lower league teams.

Manchester City FC can't look down on these hundreds of thousands of pounds in ticket sales, but for Macclesfield, this is definitely quite a huge amount of money, and the total market value of their entire team of players, including stadiums, supplies, etc., is only about a million pounds, and hundreds of thousands of pounds is equivalent to buying half of the team.

Ahead of the game, the Macclesfield players were quite excited.

Some of them are truck drivers, some are police officers, some bricklayers and road builders, and now being able to compete on the same stage with Manchester City stars is an experience worth remembering for a lifetime.

The mood of the Macclesfield players, Wan Sheng doesn't care.

In this game, he just wants Beckham and Salgado to adapt to the state, and at the same time, let the players who are difficult to play on weekdays go out to adapt to the game, and those main players who often start on weekdays do not need to play.

As a result, Manchester City won 6-1 thanks to a full bench lineup.

Six goals in one game is still something to be happy about, but there is nothing to be happy about when you think that the opponent is only an amateur league team, and even Ozil, who scored two goals, has no feelings.

Wansheng is still concerned about the performance of the new players.

In this game, Beckham's performance was average, and it was clear that he had not adapted to the ever-changing tactical rhythm of Manchester City and was very unfamiliar with team-mates.

Salgado did well, probably because he was a defender.

In Manchester City's tactics, the defenders also need to keep up with the rhythm, but the midfield is the core of the whole team, the midfielder is arguably the most important in the third line, and the defenders have to do much less, which is why Salgado is much better at adapting than Beckham.

Wan Sheng didn't care too much.

This speaks volumes about the success of the team's tactics.

Many teams want to imitate Manchester City's style of play, but they can't play it in a short period of time, which is Manchester City's advantage at the tactical level, if Beckham can adapt to the team in two days, it really shows that the team's tactics are really useless!

Wan Sheng has confidence in Beckham.

When the new tactics were laid out in the summer of last year, almost none of the players understood the tactics, everyone was learning and understanding, and the whole team was exploring the tactics, so the tactics would be slow to adapt.

Now it's different.

A large part of the team is very proficient in tactics, and new players only need to follow the command and rhythm of the old players, and in this environment, they can easily adapt as long as they have an understanding of tactics.

That's the advantage of a team's inherent tactics.

That's the style.

Wan Sheng is sure that even if he leaves the team one day, as long as Manchester City's squad does not change too much, it will be very difficult for the new manager to change his tactics, and if he wants to maintain stable results, at most he will make small changes on the basis of his tactics, and that's it.

Whenever I think of this, Wansheng always has a sense of accomplishment.

In just over a year, he has created a new style for the team, what a remarkable achievement! (To be continued.) )
