Chapter 6: Thorns

Benjamin suddenly thought of something very funny, and looked at them with a smile.

Seeing the head coach's strange expression, the young men in front of him were a little confused.

"Harry Kane and Harry Winks, both of you are called Harry, how do you tell the difference on weekdays?"

Benjamin was genuinely curious, especially when the two of them appeared together and what other people were calling them for.

Kane and Winks didn't expect the new manager to even name their youth team players.

Kane scratched his head and replied in a "London accent" that no Englishman could necessarily hear:

"I'm a little older and some of them call me Harry and I'm used to it.

That's why people usually call me Harry, and Winks calls him by his last name, otherwise it's really indistinguishable.

Of course, there are people who call me Kane directly, but neither of us is called Harry anymore. ”

"Hahaha, then I know, I'll call you Kane and Winks in the future.

You're right, I'm new to the team and there are some people in the first team who may not be convinced, or for some other reason, and not quite do the tactics I want.

That is to say, your opportunity has come.

You may be a little less powerful and less experienced than them, but what I value is your energy and drive.

Do you know what I mean? ”

A group of young people under the age of twenty listened to Benjamin's chicken blood, and they were all eager to try.

"Got it! Leader, we'll fight wherever you point! Guaranteed to carry out the tactical tasks you have assigned! ”

After the more shrewd Bentaleb took the lead, others rushed to show their loyalty to Benjamin.

So his purpose was achieved, and Ben smiled slightly, very satisfied.

"Very good, very energetic, then I will see your next performance, as long as I see your attitude, you must have a chance to play!"

With that, Benjamin stepped forward and patted Kane on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

The lads are inspired and motivated.

……

In one day, from the coaching staff to the players, Benjamin took turns to see each other.

Some people think that he is looking for nothing and pretending, but Ben knows that if he wants to work smoothly at Tottenham, this step is inevitable.

There are dozens of people up and down a team, and who can guarantee that everyone is working together towards the same goal?

Not to mention that Benjamin is still young, if it weren't for the background of the boss's own grandson, there might have been people who directly stood up to express their dissatisfaction.

With such a rush to survive, Benjamin at least knows which ones are available and which ones need to be dealt with.

It's okay to have your own thoughts, but if anyone affects Benjamin's great cause of revitalizing Tottenham, then don't blame him for turning his face and not recognizing people.

Why is it so urgent, because the time is really short, just four days into office, Tottenham's debut in charge came.

From the official announcement of becoming the manager of the English Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur on December 23 to the home game against West Bromwich Albion on the 26th, the time left for Benjamin to prepare for the game is too limited.

Therefore, Benjamin didn't care about saving at all, and a junior training card was used directly.

But this can only be considered a temporary cramming, and Benjamin himself is not convinced that the team can improve much before the game starts.

However, the day before the game, Benjamin stood on the sidelines for a while and watched assistant coach Floyd lead the first team to train, and unexpectedly found that the training card still seemed to be a little useful!

At the beginning, his plan was to continue the previous tactical play for the time being, and even if he wanted to change, he should not be too anxious.

Otherwise, the team has not fully adapted to his new tactics, so he rushed into battle and lost a few games in a row, even if he didn't get out of class on the spot, it wouldn't be good-looking.

Unexpectedly, I don't know if the training card that came with the system is really so effective, or if the Tottenham players are already suitable for the new tactics he formulated.

After just two days of training, there is actually a look.

"Stephen!"

Benjamin called Floyd over.

"You organize an intra-team match."

The assistant coach nodded, blew the whistle to stop the offensive and defensive training on the training ground, and began to distribute the lineups on both sides.

Benjamin wants to see the results of the new tactical drills, with tomorrow being his Premier League debut, and he will not accept any other result than a win.

Tottenham's starting line-up for tomorrow will also be largely determined by the performance of the players in the upcoming training matches.

Both the main team and the substitutes came out in a 4-2-3-1 formation, which is also Benjamin's preferred formation.

Striker Bam Adebayor was up front with Eriksen behind him.

Chadli on the left, Lennon on the right, Dembele and Paulinho in the middle.

Left-back Danny Rose, right-back Kyle Walker, Vertonghen in the middle and veteran Kabul in the centre.

The goalkeeper is Frenchman Lloris.

Adebayo was abandoned by Boas earlier, but the problem of the Togolese is not the lack of strength, but the problem of attitude.

The little monster who got serious was also a first-class striker in the Premier League, and Benjamin decided to give him another chance.

It depends on how much the other party can listen to the conversation with him before.

The choice of Chadley for the position of left winger is also a helpless move, compared to Lamela, who has not yet adapted to the Premier League and has been injured slightly, and Sigurdsson, who is more suitable for playing as a striker, or the Belgian is more suitable.

Despite Chadli being a weird wide player, the Belgian is not fast, and the big man who is close to 1.9 meters has good technique on his feet and is okay with his head.

As for Paulinho, Tottenham originally bought him with the intention of forming a Brazilian midfield pair with Sandro.

But who would have thought that Sandro's major injury would be reimbursed directly for the season, and Paulinho's performance on the field was even more spicy.

The Brazilian midfielder came to the Premier League for the first time, and he couldn't attack or defend back, and it was only half a season, and he had conceded more than once because of Paulinho's mistakes.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no use, Benjamin really didn't want to look at this guy, just waiting for the transfer window to open, and sending him away even if he lost money.

With a whistle from Floyd, the intra-team match officially began.

There is no doubt that the main team is better, but the substitute side, which was stuffed by Benjamin with several young players, did not fall behind.

It shouldn't be like this, Benjamin's eyes narrowed slightly.

Soon he saw that the reason for this situation was very simple, in order to get the approval of the head coach, that is, him, the substitute side strictly followed the tactics of pressing all over the court and pressing in the high position.

The substitute side caused a lot of trouble for the main side by running at the expense of physical strength.

What's more, someone on the main side is lazy!

Or they feel that they are just playing the same way they used to play, but what they don't think clearly is that this is tantamount to challenging the authority of the manager.

Bam Adebayo has always liked to play badly, and Benjamin was already happy with his ability to run on the training ground today, and he won't demand anything more from him.

So in the end, the first thorn to come out was actually his thick-eyed Lennon?
