Chapter 133: Meet-and-greet
After Wu Lei responded to Pan Yi in an affirmative tone, Pan Yi said to him with a smile:
"Hopefully, it won't be long before we can communicate with each other in English."
This is also Pan Yi's request for all the players in the current team.
We all come from all corners of the world, and if we don't communicate in a unified language, there will be problems.
The ability to learn foreign languages quickly is also one of the keys for new players to integrate into the team.
Many Dragon players have been unable to adapt to overseas teams, in addition to their own skills, in fact, they have not learned the language, and they are unable to adapt to overseas life is also an important reason. The "adaptability" attribute is too poor!
On the other hand, Japanese and South Korean players, after joining a foreign team, they will quickly communicate with the players and coaches in the local language, and then play better and better.
Put yourself in their shoes, you're the manager of a team and now you need a substitute to come on and change the situation on the pitch.
And now you have a player who doesn't understand what you're saying, are you more inclined to play with someone else who is of similar strength but understands your tactical intentions?
The disadvantages in the competition are widened in such a little bit.
Most of the veterans of the current Hamburg team speak German and English.
Among the new players, they are available in various languages, Spanish, Portuguese, English, Chinese...... Pan Yi decided to let them all learn English together.
The main reason is, of course, that he is familiar with English, and he is not yet proficient in German.
So for the sake of the accuracy of tactical expression, Pan Yi asked the players to start an English class!
Later, when I went to the international arena, I was better able to communicate with the referee in English......
"The boy is strong, Smitta!"
Walking in front of Sun Xingmin, Pan Yi also patted his chest heavily and said in English with a smile.
This future "Light of Asia" and future Premier League Golden Boot winner is only 20 years old now, but his appearance is no different from what Pan Yi remembers.
The hairstyle is still the same hairstyle, and the smile is the same smile.
However, in Germany, his fame is much greater than that of Wu Lei, who is a few months older than him.
The South Korean football phenom made his Bundesliga debut at the age of 16 before breaking into the first team at the age of 18.
Not only that, but he scored a goal on his debut and broke the 39-year-old record for the youngest Bundesliga player to score in the Bundesliga.
Last season, Son made 27 appearances for FC Hamburg in the Bundesliga, scoring five goals and providing one assist, and at the age of 19, he has gradually become a regular in the team.
Naturally, he has attracted the attention of many clubs in Europe due to his good performances.
In fact, if in the normal timeline, Son Heung-min will move to Bayer Leverkusen for 10 million euros at the end of this season and start to make a big splash in the Bundesliga.
Eventually, he will be poached by Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League for another 30 million euros, and set a new record for the transfer fee of an Asian player set by Hidetoshi Nakata when he joined Parma.
Then there's the story of him winning the Puskas Award and winning the Premier League Golden Boot.
Son Heung-min is a bipedal monster and is quite decisive when it comes to shooting, which is a necessary quality for a goalscorer.
At the same time, he is physically strong, has the pace, the breakthrough and the pass, and is well-rounded, and can move seamlessly from position to position.
Therefore, in this season's Hamburg lineup, he is definitely one of Pan Yi's most relied on players.
"Please take care of me!"
Hearing Pan Yi jokingly add "Smitta" to the end of his English, Son Xingmin also laughed, but still bowed his head to pay tribute to the new head coach.
Although Pan Yi is very young, after all, he came with the name of the Triple Crown, which is still a bit deterrent for these young players.
And Son has always maintained a humble attitude under the guidance of his strict father, Sun Xiongzheng - of course, this is also a big reason why he can become Asia's number one star in the future.
Pan Yi smiled at him, and his eyes fell on the player with another East Asian face standing next to Sun Xingmin.
Lin Zhijian.
If Dragon Country fans can be said to have a lot of treasures about Sun Xingmin's growth process, then there are not many people who may know him Lin Zhijian.
In fact, Lin Zhijian, who is less than a year older than Son Heung-min, is now as famous in German football as the South Koreans.
Lam's father is from Hong Kong, and his mother is German, so he has German nationality.
Born and raised in Hamburg, he was promoted to the Hamburg youth team at a very young age, then rose to the second and first teams, and is the local prince of Hamburg.
After Lin Zhijian became famous in the Bundesliga, he was also selected for the German U20 national youth team.
This, of course, has attracted the attention of many Hong Kong media, and the Hong Kong FA is also actively considering allowing Lam Chi-kin to represent Hong Kong in international competitions.
In terms of appearance, Lin Zhijian has inherited more of his Hong Kong father's Chinese face, and some netizens said, "Lin Zhijian is simply Peng Yuyan on the football field."
Yes, his handsome appearance also made him attract a lot of fans.
But why did he disappear later, when he was so popular? - He eventually went to play in the Hong Kong Super League and joined an amateur team in Germany.
It's because of one of the things that professional players fear the most, injuries.
In a Bundesliga match in the 13-14 season, Lin Zhijian was seriously injured and has not been able to recover to his pre-injury state since then.
In other words, if such an injury can be avoided, he could probably achieve very good results.
In short, Lin Zhijian will also be a key player under Pan Yi this season.
"Practice hard, I'm very optimistic about you!" Pan Yi also patted Lin Zhijian's shoulder.
"Yes, sir." Lin Zhijian's originally slightly nervous expression suddenly relaxed a lot.
Pan Yi moved on, then De Bruyne, Makoto Hasebe, Vardy......
When it came to Keylor Navas and Casemiro, due to the language barrier, everyone just shook hands with each other, hugged their shoulders, and even said hello - although the team has an interpreter, this kind of meeting is not necessary now.
Then I met the veterans of the team one by one.
Neuhaus, Marcus Berry, Jacopo Sara, Tescher, Ogo, Mancien, Bruma, Westerman......
Unlike those young players who have just joined the team, these veteran players looked at Pan Yi with some doubts in their eyes.
After all, this head coach is too young!
Even most of the players are older than him.
But Pan Yi greeted the players one by one, as if they were all old friends, which quickly made the atmosphere of the whole team relaxed.
In the end, Pan Yi let the players move freely first, get to know each other, and then gathered the members of the coaching staff together and said:
"Next, I'm going to talk about our main tactical play this season."
