Every summer, when the transfer market window opens, fans will turn their attention to the transfer market and start to "arrange" a beautiful looking squad for their favorite team. ☆→☆→，

Of course, most of these seemingly beautiful expectations will not come true.

Because transfer is not a numbers game after all, let alone a scratch-and-off gamble, it is just a way of survival, or rather, a supplement to the way of survival. It's not just those transactions that cost tens of millions of dollars that are considered transfers, and transactions that are tens of thousands or even free of charge also belong to the category of transfers.

For a club like Real Madrid, where they can throw a nine-figure transfer fee at a player, no one can blame them for anything because that's how they survive. And for a club like Cambridge United, their current situation dooms them to not rely on transfers to survive.

So, youth training is the only answer.

It's just that in the past few seasons, the so-called "academy" that Cambridge United relied on to survive was actually not so standard, and like other small teams, Cambridge United, which could not be expected to be supplemented in the transfer market, would hold a training camp before the season every year to absorb some fresh blood.

But even if it's a training camp, it needs to be divided into three, six, nine and so on. The most famous training camp in England is Manchester United, the legend of the 92 class is almost the best publicity for their success, so Manchester United's training camp is undoubtedly the top in the country, except for those who have a deep affection for their hometown team and have no special fan preferences, almost all children with football dreams want to come here, but at least they will not exclude.

In addition to the training camps of big teams, including Manchester United, further down, there are training camps of other clubs in the Premier League, and so on, basically the level of attractiveness of each training camp. It's proportional to the level of this club. Therefore, the so-called training camp is also a pyramid screening system.

After such a layer of screening, as long as you have football talent, not to mention ten out of ten, you will basically not become a fish that slips through the net. Therefore, at the level of Cambridge United, it is not difficult for you to imagine what kind of goods they will get for their training camp at this level. In addition to counting on the blue smoke from the ancestral tomb to suddenly appear, a genius is willing to seek proximity. The chances of getting caught in the net are slim to none.

The Cambridge native of Cambridge, who was selected for England's Under-18 and Under-21 youth teams, played at Cambridge's football school as a student, but when he decided to become a professional footballer, he went to Manchester United's training camp and became a rising star for a time, but unfortunately he was unable to establish himself at Old Trafford.

And now, although he is back at Cambridge United, he knows a little. It's not hard to imagine how difficult it is for Cambridge United to develop academy.

However, since Lin Sen set the tone for Cambridge United, it is naturally impossible to let it develop along such a trajectory, so. He needs to think of some special way, in other words, to open the hanging. It just so happened that he had such a plug-in.

So. He chose to let go of age.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, this move is somewhat of a rush to the doctor. It's easy to see how important age is to football. Especially for teenagers. No matter how talented a player is, if he can't get systematic training at the right age, then injury Zhongyong is not an accident.

Cambridge United has lifted the age limit, everyone knows what they want to do, it is nothing more than to increase the choice, however, can this really get more choices, not many people will think so, because the number of people who do this is certainly more, but there are almost all players who miss the best age, and some can't even be called players. So, what's the point?

But Lin Sen still decided to do it, although it was somewhat helpless, but it was not as bad as people liked.

Helplessly, the current situation of Cambridge United is like this, if it is done step by step, not to mention that in the short term, even if Cambridge United is given a few more years, it is impossible to improve, and confidence comes from Lin Sen's eyes.

On the surface, Cambridge United's training camp is still handed over to the club's youth director Bonaire and others to be responsible, and the procedures will be followed step by step, but in private, in fact, Lin Sen will find an opportunity to take a "look" at each batch of training camp members.

Today, when Lin Sen reappeared at Cambridge United's training camp grounds, he was rightfully in the spotlight.

Bonaire, who was explaining something to some of the players at the training ground, quickly noticed Linson's arrival.

For Lin Sen, the new owner of Cambridge United, it should be said that Bonaire's impression is not bad, of course, there are some factors in Lin Sen's past coaching status. After joining Cambridge United, Lin Sen vigorously developed the team's youth training, which made Bonaire feel that he was valued, although Cambridge United also attached importance to youth training before, but obviously the intensity was different.

It's just that the impression is not bad, it does not mean that Lin Sen is obedient, for example, this time the training camp is open to age, and Bonaire expressed his opposition.

Because in his opinion, the move was completely thankless.

It is true that the training camp has been open for more than a week, although the number of players has reached a record high, but the number of players who have really entered the field of vision of the coaching staff has not increased. Moreover, there are not a few talents found, and the disadvantages of letting go of age are exposed, for example, low quality, the quality here not only refers to the quality of football, but also includes the quality of people.

In just over a week, not to mention anything else, there were two fights on the pitch alone, not to mention off the pitch, and the reason made Bonaire frown, in fact, it was just some very ordinary actions on the field, just a big fight between the two sides without saying a word.

Therefore, purely on the basis of facts, in fact, Bonaire was a little dissatisfied with Lin Sen's decision, and the only thing that comforted him was that Lin Sen always came over from time to time to take a look, with his identity, such a move obviously had no other explanation than attention.

And today, Lin Sen did not come alone.

Previously, Bonaire saw someone walking with Lin Sen from afar, he originally thought it was Tang Hua, but when he got closer, he found that it was not.

Standing next to Lin Sen was a young man with the same oriental face as Lin Sen, Bonaire couldn't tell his actual age, he was polite and polite, and even had a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, and when Bonaire walked over, he also nodded politely to him.

"Tell me about it. Xiao Zhixing. Top student at Cambridge University. When Bonaire came to him, Lin Sen introduced him with a smile, and then turned to the young man named Xiao Zhixing, "This is the youth director of our club, Mark Bonaire, you can contact him if you have any questions in the recent period." ”

Lin Sen's last sentence, Xiao Zhixing on one side nodded, but Bonaire on the other side was confused.

"That's right, starting today, no, or tomorrow, Xiao will join our training camp as a trainee." Seeing Bonaire's expression, Lin Sen explained, and then he didn't wait for Bonaire to answer, so he said to Xiao Zhixing, "You take a look around first and visit." ”

Xiao Zhixing said hello, then nodded to Bonaire, and turned to walk away.

"Is this a joke?" When Xiao Zhixing left, no matter how good Bonaire's temper was, even if Lin Sen standing in front of him was his actual boss, Bonaire still couldn't control his emotions.

Bonaire's emotions are not difficult to understand.

Letting go of his age has already made him a little dissatisfied, and now Lin Sen is still so casually inserting people in? Still a Chinese student? Lin Sen is certainly the current owner of Cambridge United, but what does he think of this training camp as this? His toys? What an international joke!

"Nope." Lin Sen was not annoyed by Bonaire's emotions, just shook his head, and then said apologetically, "I can understand your emotions, Mark, but I can't explain anything now, so you should do me a favor, anyway, there are not many more than Xiao, and I believe that Xiao will not cause you trouble." By the way, he is the captain of the Cambridge University football team. ”

Lin Sen's posture was very low, and although Bonaire was angry, he had to calm down temporarily at this time.

"So, that means he's just here for training?"

"For now, it seems that for now, but I'm not sure you'll be willing to let him go in the future."

"You're so optimistic about him?" Hearing Lin Sen's words, Bonaire was a little surprised this time, you know, although Lin Sen is not engaged in coaching work for the time being, he is not a layman, and his eyes are obvious to all.

Lin Sen shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm afraid it still won't work." Bonaire suddenly remembered something, he shook his head and said, "Maybe you are very optimistic about him, but he still can't stay, it's not that he is reluctant, you should know, in England, foreigners want to ......"

"You mean labor certification?" Before Bonaire's words were spoken, Lin Sen already knew what he wanted to say, "You don't have to worry about this, Xiao is Chinese, yes, but his nationality is British." ”

"British ......" Bonaire was stunned, but it was not too surprising, foreigners have always been open-minded in this regard. A British-Chinese, which is really not uncommon in the UK.

"Well, it's a shame that you were able to find ......," Bonaire said helplessly, "I hope he is as good as you say, but don't expect me to give him special treatment." ”

"Of course." Lin Sen smiled, then changed the subject, "By the way, it is said that a new batch of members came the day before yesterday, how about it, are there any surprises?" (To be continued......) u
