Chapter 021: New Officials Take Office! A new midfield combination!

Early the next morning, Magnum, who was forced to stay up late, still came to the gate of the Holy Spirit Field Base on time.

Last night, the St. Pauli quartet returned to the "Golden Anchor Chain" to celebrate his appointment as the team's head coach.

thought that Magnum would get drunk, and Gottlich even made a point of giving him half a day off, but Magnum smiled and still didn't drink a drop.

I didn't even order a drink, I only drank soda.

He declared that he had quit drinking.

At that moment, Gottlich, who knew him best, seemed to see Ronaldo.

The two had lived together for a few years, and Gottricht knew how much alcohol Magnum had turned out, and he said quit drinking? The dogs didn't believe it.

But it turns out that dogs are sometimes more reliable than people.

Almighty put down his cruel words, and the day St. Pauli was promoted to the Bundesliga was when he broke the ring.

Then it's time to have a good drink!

Although he didn't drink, he was still consumed by three other drunkards until the early hours of the morning, and it was the old Hanks who came to chase people away, and everyone left to go home.

While yawning, Almighty stepped into the club.

I was met by a bald man wearing St. Pauli's iconic black skull flag T-shirt and his arms covered in colorful old school tattoos.

β€œMoin! Jack! It's so early today? ”

"Morning! Sven, aren't you the same. ”

Sven Brooks, who is almost 60 years old this year, was once the lead singer of a well-known punk band in Hamburg and the whole of Germany, a passionate St. Pauli fan leader, and now the head of the club's security department.

"I'm different from you young people, I couldn't sleep enough before, and now I can't sleep at all."

Magnum has known him for many years, not only because of football, but also because of Brooks when he left the team to play in the band.

In front of him, Magnum and Gottlich are both younger brothers.

"You have to take it easy, don't drink all night like you used to."

"Hahaha, I can't sleep without drinking a little every day, why, when I become a head coach, I start to teach me a lesson?"

Brooks said with a smile that as the most well-informed person in the club, he received the wind yesterday.

Magnum's return made him happy, but he also knew Magnum's previous situation in the first team, and thought that this kid was going to sink for a while, but he didn't expect it to turn around so quickly.

"I don't dare, don't talk about me, Okai, the chairman doesn't dare."

"I've heard you're doing well in the reserves, but the first team is different, so be ready, Okai? If he dares to talk more, I'll have to kick him in the ass, and you are the same, if you don't bring the team well, you know what will happen! ”

Brooks shook his fist, an old man who was almost sixty years old, still muscular, and didn't know how he maintained it.

Magnum nodded, and the two talked about the club's renovation of the stadium.

From Brooks' mouth, Magnum heard a few more names that were familiar before.

They were all die-hard St. Pauli fans, but they were all older and some had moved from Hamburg, but when they heard that the team was struggling financially, they all took action and organized thousands of fans to contribute to the renovation, which greatly reduced the burden on the club.

After all, St. Pauli's purpose is DIY, isn't it just work, and St. Pauli fans from the working class are the best at this.

Cement workers, electricians, painters, there is no shortage of everything.

"Thanks to everyone, Okay's picker is willing to give me a little more transfer budget."

Hearing Almighty say this, Brooks said a fair word for the chairman's younger brother.

"I can't blame him, the team's shirt sponsorship for the new season hasn't been found yet."

"It's okay, everything will be fine, I'll go first, and I'll have to study how to spend the transfer money later."

Looking at the back of Magnum's departure, Sven Brooks had a slight worry in his eyes.

The team's current form is really bad, and Jack is still so young and rushed to take charge, so he must be under a lot of pressure.

He must have known that St. Pauli's fans, while the best in Germany, were also the most ruthless.

………

Before training officially began, Magnum appeared in front of the first-team players with Mellegue.

The latter announced that, after careful consideration by the team's management, Magnum would replace Linin as the new coach of St. Pauli, as well as a player.

After saying that, Mellegh withdrew, believing that the omnipotence could do it himself.

As for the players, everyone's reaction was of course surprise, yesterday they were on the fringes of the team, and today they have become the coach in charge of life and death.

That's all, everyone is a professional player, and since the club has made a decision, they can only obey.

Although Magnum has not been here for a long time, his popularity in the first team is unexpectedly good, on the one hand, he trains hard and hard, in addition to the substitute goalkeeper, he is the oldest in the team, and his physical fitness is also poor, but he grits his teeth every time to complete the training, and never shouts tired.

On the other hand, in the last free kick battle and the injury of Ryo Miyaichi, Magnum showed an attitude of facing difficulties and not being afraid of things, and also won respect for himself.

As soon as Mellegre left, the team's captain and main centre-back, Soren Gonther, was the first to express his support for the club's decision.

The other players also showed their attitude with applause.

However, Almighty also knows in his heart that most of them still have doubts in their hearts, and this doubt can only be dispelled with real records, anyway, it is a good start.

Because the assistant coach also left together, Magnum could only lead the team to train in person, and the method was not much different from before, except for more emphasis on the running and scrambling of the players.

In the afternoon, Magnum held another internal match, and he borrowed Timo Schultz to help him record the performance of the players on the field.

Although there are as many as 11 players compared to last season, there are still 24 players in the first team of St. Pauli, and there are no injuries, and the personnel is actually quite sufficient, and they can barely put on two sets of 4-2-3-1 formations that they are good at.

One is adjusted from Lining's previous main lineup, and the other is pieced together by substitute players.

Because there was really no one to play at left-back, he called for someone to call the little Te'o in the reserves.

It's all here, so don't go.

Te'o completed the triple jump from the U17 to the reserve team and then to the first team in such a mess.

The first half, which was only half an hour, passed quickly.

The main team leads 1-0.

For this result, Magnum's brows furrowed.

It's not that he's not happy with the players' performances.

To be honest, these Bundesliga players are obviously much stronger than those brought by Red Star FC before, but the biggest problem is that they are all single.

Good physical strength, strong physique, and aggressiveness are their strengths, like a group of emotionless mechanical soldiers, but their shortcomings are just as good.

The centre-backs are tall but extremely slow to turn and chase back.

The full-backs are tall but have poor dribbling skills.

The midfielder is tall, but his technique is average and his movements are reckless.

The striker is still tall, but his stopping and shooting skills are rotten.

Goalkeeper...... The goalkeeper is as tall as it should be.

Anyway, from the back to the front, except for the forward Zatkowski, Yishui is tall.

Especially the attacking players, they seem to be okay with everything, but in fact everything is almost meaningless, and they play without any spirituality.

They can't be blamed for this, the trend in world football today is to require players in every position to wear multiple hats and do everything, and the result is a group of players with the same characteristics, but no characteristics.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the German players.

It will also test the ability of the coach even more.

The first problem in front of Magnum is how to give full play to the strengths of the players and avoid the shortcomings to the greatest extent.

Magnum wrote the first word in his playbook, run!

Only by running can we make up for the holes in the formation!

Only by running can you create opportunities in attack!

At halftime, Magnum began to readjust the lineup on both sides.

After training together for more than a month, he has long taken the characteristics of everyone in the team to heart.

That's his biggest advantage right now.

Don't spend time getting to know the players anymore.

He puts together players who are fit and good at running, and if there are no accidents, they will be the main squad for the next league game.

First of all, he was the joint top scorer for last season, and Dutchman Vihawk was replaced by German youngster Lennart Thy, who had been playing as a winger.

Behind him is the forward midfielder again Mark Zatkowski.

The two wingers on the left and right are Polish Sobota and Ryo Miyaichi, who were on loan from Belgium at the beginning of the year.

There are no changes to the goalkeeper and back line.

The biggest change is in the midfield, last season's midfield core Daubey has left, and another main player, Irus, has also been transferred to the substitute team.

The reason is simple, although Aelush has good skills, he is over 30 years old, and his running ability has decreased significantly, and he cannot meet his requirements.

The choice of his replacement also surprised everyone.

A slender substitute right-back, Philipp Ziereis.

There was also some surprise with the choice of his partner, with Sebastian Maier, who played as a substitute last season, being deployed in a central midfield position.

This new midfield combination has caused everyone to wonder, with only five days left before the next game, where did Jack have the courage to take such a big risk?
