The fifth of July was the day when the Derby County squad regrouped for training, and even before that, players had already arrived in the town of Great Derby.

It's not Bolton Reiter, Alfred, Ivan Crewe and others who came, after the training camp last summer, they already knew that coming a few days in advance would have no other effect except for doing some individual training, and the holidays were short, thinking about the training camp would definitely be hard, even players like Alfred who trained hard did not come in advance.

It's a new player, Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart was the first of the new players to report to Derby County, perhaps because his move was completed relatively early, with the Dutch national team coming to the club for a medical just days after his European Championship trip.

Van der Vaart is the captain of Ajax, which is a bluffing name, but in fact, he is only 21 years old, this is his first time playing in other league teams, and he is still a little apprehensive, he is a star who has become famous at a young age, but the mentality is no different from that of other young players.

The Derby County club quickly arranged for Van der Vaart's medical examination, and there was no doubt that it would go straight to Guò.

The medical clearance meant that Van der Vaart was officially a Derby County player, and he soon saw Wan Sheng.

Wansheng's life has been very relaxed lately.

Before the club's training camp, it was all vacation time, except for occasionally coming to the club to pay attention to the transfer situation, asking the team's scouts and staff for some information about players who have not yet been signed, analyzing which players are useful to Derby County, etc., in addition to these jobs, his life is very relaxed, he didn't expect Van der Vaart to come so early, which is also good news, indicating that Van der Vaart has begun to wait for the new season.

This is the second time the two have met.

Wansheng smiled and shook hands with Van der Vaart, welcomed him to Derby County, and the first thing he said to Van der Vaart was, "Rafael, I believe you can succeed here!" ”

Van der Vaart was still a little apprehensive when he saw Wan Sheng.

The two meetings between the two were completely different, the last time was when Wan Sheng invited him to Derby County FC, and now Wan Sheng is his head coach.

When he saw Wan Sheng for the first time, Van der Vaart only felt that the head coach of Derby County was really young, and Wan Sheng left a good impression on him, because Wan Sheng did not say anything hypocritical, but directly talked about the benefits of Van der Vaart's transfer to Derby, Van der Vaart was very relaxed at that time, but now when he sees Wan Sheng again, he is a little nervous, after all, thinking about the young coach in front of him, he is definitely a person who has the ability to decide his fate in Derby, so he is not so comfortable and active.

But Van der Vaart heard confidence from Wan Sheng's words, as if he was very sure that he could show that he could do well, which gave Van der Vaart a sense of trust.

So he also had a smile on his face and felt much more relaxed.

Wan Sheng took Van der Vaart to familiarize himself with the club's training grounds and facilities, and waited for the signing ceremony arranged by the club to start while walking, and half an hour later, as soon as it was ready, Wan Sheng took Van der Vaart to the signing ceremony venue.

The signing ceremony was the venue where the club held its press conference, and when the two walked in, there were already a lot of reporters in the venue, and many other reporters heard that the young Ajax captain had joined Derby County, and they also rushed over to cover the news.

In fact, Van der Vaart is not well-known in England.

Not to mention England, out of the Netherlands, Van der Vaart is not famous at all, because he is still very young, and there is no good watch, Dutch fans give Van der Vaart the title of 'golden boy', that is because he is young, and he is the captain of Ajax.

Many media reporters also came to the name of 'Captain Ajax'.

However, after meeting Van der Vaart at the venue, the media reporters found that this so-called 'Captain Ajax' is really very young, even if they know Van der Vaart's age, it is conceivable how much water such a young 'Captain Ajax' has.

As a result, many media reporters are a little cold.

Fortunately, the local media in Derby County are quite enthusiastic, for them, to have a 'captain of Ajax' to join the team, no matter how strict the 'captain' is, it is also a great thing, if they didn't dare to imagine that this kind of star can join Derby County before, they can only buy some ordinary players, 7 million euros transfer is already the largest in the history of Derby County.

Van der Vaart felt the enthusiasm of the local media, and he felt good, but soon outside reporters asked, "Mr. Van der Vaart, why did you choose Derby County FC?" ”

Hearing this question, Wan Shengzhi didn't feel anything.

But he didn't expect Van der Vaart to reply, "If I can go to Arsenal and Manchester United, it will definitely be a wonderful trip, but I can't go at the moment, so I can only come to Derby because Derby is the best team for me right now." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Wan Sheng, "The coach persuaded me, so I came." ”

Many people in the venue frowned when they heard it, even Wan Sheng was the same, in his previous life, he saw some news describing Van der Vaart's character as 'rebellious' and 'straightforward', and he hadn't experienced 'rebellious', but this was too straightforward, indeed, it was normal for a professional player to think so, but on this occasion, at the signing ceremony of joining Derby, it was not quite right to say this.

Van der Vaart continued to speak as if he didn't feel anything, but fortunately he didn't say any more sensitive words, which made Wan Sheng also take a long breath, and those media reporters who came felt that just one sentence was enough, and they could fully understand this as, "As long as Manchester United and Arsenal want to get Van der Vaart, he will leave immediately." Derby County was just a springboard for him. ”

However, there are also media outlets that ridicule Van der Vaart for saying big things.

This so-called 'captain of Ajax' is average in Ajax, and it is difficult to say whether he can be worth 7 million euros, and it is too early to say what he wants to say about Manchester United and Arsenal

After Van der Vaart, Karachi, Lichtsteiner and Nemanja Vidic also came to the team, and Lichtsteiner, because he was not well-known, the Derby County club did not bias to give them the same signing ceremony and welcome them.

Karachi is a 32-year-old veteran, he is still very stable, his value is not high or low, and he came to the team to replace Oakes and be a stable goalkeeper, which everyone knows very well, so Karachi's joining is not shocking, and there is nothing special worth saying.

Lichtsteiner, on the other hand, is not valued by the media at all because of his fame and worth.

At the signing ceremony, Lichtsteiner also looked a little shy, and the answers to questions were very brief, basically the agent told him what he should say, he would say anything, he had no ideas of his own, and the media naturally did not criticize him for anything, because in the eyes of the media, Lichtsteiner's arrival was Wansheng to supplement the team's lineup.

However, Vidic, who is worth 5.6 million euros, has been questioned by many media, and Vidic is definitely unknown in the whole of Europe. He is a young man and a typical talent in Serbia, but that is just a Serbian talent, even if he wears the captain's armband of Red Star Belgrade at a young age, and is expected by Red Star Belgrad, but that's just it, whether he can adapt to the Premier League and whether he can show himself in the top flight is still a suspense, and at this point, 5.6 million euros is too expensive.

Even the local media in Derbyshire are deliberately trying to make Vidic a bit hard.

But what many media reporters didn't expect was that Vidic didn't say much, and the expression on his face didn't seem to change during the entire signing ceremony, he just answered one question after another slowly, and when expressing his vision for the new season, the answer was also very appropriate.

This leaves a lot of people speechless.

So the media labeled Vidic as a 'young and old', compared to Van der Vaart, who is also the 'captain', Vidic is definitely much calmer

The day before the rally, Van der Vaart, Vidic and other new arrivals also met and got to know each other, and they also played a few kicks together at the training ground, while also discussing Derby County and the team's manager Wan Sheng.

Much of the discussion about Derby County has focused on last season's results, and before they joined Derby, they only knew that Derby County were a promoted team, and only when they arrived at Big Derby County did they know how great Derby County were last season.

But these surprises were not as many as the morning of the training session.

As new players, they must not be late, but they never thought that Derby County would not have any players late, not even a day late, the training ground that was empty yesterday, there were already a lot of people the next morning, and when the coach called the call, no one was absent.

It's a reflection of the discipline of a team, and a lot of teams have discipline, but how many can really do that?

Wan Sheng appeared very strict.

Looking at the group of players in front of him, staring at them carefully for a long time, Wan Sheng said, "I hope you remember what I said during the holidays." ”

Several players immediately bowed their heads.

Wan Sheng didn't pay attention to the reaction of the players, and directly let Van der Vaart and other four new players stand in front of everyone, and then introduced them to everyone one by one, each time a new player was introduced, everyone would applaud and welcome, but during the whole process, Wan Sheng's face did not change at all.

Finally, the introduction of new players is over, and the 'symbolic' physical tests of the new season have begun.

As in last season, Diamares took everyone to the team doctor for a physical test, while Wan Sheng returned to the office to sort out the fitness numbers of each player, and then printed out the physical training plan that had been prepared before, which was a training plan for each player in the team, and the only thing the team had to do during the week of collective training was to recover the physical training.

In this kind of personal recovery training, if there are players who keep their bodies in good shape during the holidays, the training will naturally be very easy, and if there are players who do not pay attention to their bodies during the holidays, then what awaits them is a hard week.

After everyone finished the physical test, Wan Sheng took the test results of each player, just glanced at them, and distributed a large number of training plans to each player.

Not long after, when all the players understood what they were training for the coming week, a wail rang out on the training ground
