0206 Do you still need a striker?

On the projector, there was a video of the game from the training camp, and the coaches of the four teams were gathered in the conference room of the Stavanger club.

Nearly twenty people poured in at once, leaving the small conference room of the Stavanger Club with little place to stay.

"Peter, will I go to you next year, can you go back this year and get a bigger conference room." Little Cruyff took his cup and found that there was no place on the table.

The table was full of cigarettes, drinks, coffee cups, and folders.

"I'll get it when I go back, and I'll get you a ladder for 100 people." Schmeichel said.

"We can not invite Yordi next year, after all, it's not our own people, is it?" Haaland still likes to joke.

"Haha~"

Chris Casper, who was at the front, knocked on the table, causing the few people who had started to make small talk turn their attention back.

"Let's take a look at the goal just now, it seems that Peter's defensive position is relatively high, and the striker of Linby steals the pass between the defenders and directly hangs the goal......"

Once again, Casper slowed down the process of the goal.

On the projector, Leeds United's two centre-backs had a bit of a big pass near midfield and were snatched up by a limby striker. After a slight adjustment, Billing's striker opted for a lob shot directly just over the halfway line.

Schmeichel was outside the penalty area and it was too late to chase back, and he eventually watched the ball fly into the net.

"This ball, Glenqvist was careless when he passed the ball, and one of Billing's strikers grabbed it, and he panicked. In a hurry to pass the ball to Albuchesen, so it caused a mistake. Eddie Howe was quick to tell the reason for the goal.

The other coaches also nodded.

This is the third such meeting, which takes place after every friendly match. All coaches will analyze, learn and communicate about the previous day's game.

In particular, the other coaches of the three teams, with the exception of Leeds United, have benefited a lot from this exchange.

The four managers got together separately and discussed their own players.

"Jordi, your team's midfielder and striker are good, where did you get it?" Haaland asked Cruyff Jr.

"Which two?" Cruyff Jr. was a little secretive, probably afraid that he would pry himself into the corner, after all, he was the only one in the four teams who was not really his own.

The other three teams said that the turnover of players was a matter of George Lee's words.

George Li seemed to see his thoughts, and told him directly: "I am not interested in your two named De Jong, you can keep it for yourself and cultivate it well." ”

The two players they are talking about are Wollewieckels striker Luke de Jong and midfielder Sim de Jong. The younger brother Luuk de Jong was discovered by Cruyff Jr. in Graafschap's youth team and then brought in to Wallerwiecls via a transfer this summer. His brother Sim de Jong is on loan from Ajax, and the time he met Bill Rose when he went to Ajax at the end of last season to talk about a transfer.

These two young players played quite brilliantly in the pre-match training camp here. Arguably the best young player outside of Leeds United's No.2 and No.3.

"I really don't need to talk to Jordi, I think the guy called Luuk de Jong is pretty good, Kevin Davis is old, we should be looking for a high-school striker who can be lethal in the small box." Brian Kidd is also interested in this kind of discussion meeting, after all, this kind of tactical class is not appreciated by a coach of his level, and it is more to accumulate experience for a young coach like Eddie Howe, so he also joined George Lee and their discussion.

And it was he who suggested to George Lee whether to consider Luuk de Jong.

'No, with Kuyt and Davis up front, I think that's enough. And I've decided to put Arneson as the team's third striker, or Allan if necessary. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so generous with the loan of Andy to Celtic. ”

Andy Grey spent two seasons at Leeds United before opting to play in the Premier League because he had very little playing time at Leeds United. It's just that he chose to leave on loan, in his words: "I can't play one day, and I'll come back because my home is at Leeds United." ”

At the same time, Delph, who was on loan at Hull City, decided to send him out on loan because he also did not have enough playing time at Leeds United, and the lack of game training would seriously affect his ability to improve.

"I look at his physicality and shooting skills, so it's a shame not to come to us." Kidd still refuses to give up and suggests to Lee there.

"Hey, Brian. Can you give me a face, don't dig into my corner, you want that kind of shooter in the box, why don't you buy Ajax's Huntelaar, he's better than Luuk de Jong in my team. ”

Cruyff Jr. hurriedly pulled away from the topic, not wanting them to talk about his players anymore, he was afraid that if he continued to talk about his players, he would be poached.

"Chris, can you find some video of Ajax's Huntelaar and show it to these managers, begging for the ball."

Casper looked at George Lee, who nodded in agreement.

Just three minutes later, Casper found Huntelaar's video on his portable hard drive and showed it to the other coaches.

In the video, Huntelaar is like a killer in the penalty area, scoring goals with various overhead kicks, after all, in the two seasons at Ajax, his goal rate is close to one goal per game.

"From the video, there is no difference from Vanney......"

"Sure enough, when I read this, I thought Luke de Jong was almost embarrassed."

"But you can't measure a striker by the defensive intensity of the Eredivisie, you look at our Kuyt ...... last year"

Many coaches are whispering, most of them are affirming Huntelaal's level, and only a few feel that there is nothing actually visible in the video.

"That's not bad, or ......," Kidd suggested to Lee, completely forgetting that he had just suggested that George Lee buy Luke de Jong.

"Just take a look, buy it." George Lee said to Kidd.

Joke.

Although Van Persie is gone, there are already Robben and Sneijder in the team, and at this time I buy Huntelaar, and the dressing room is afraid that it will explode.

On the training ground, the players of the four teams were all being trained by one person in pain.

That man was Leeds United's strength and conditioning coach, Colin McGee.

In order to give their teams a feel for the gap between themselves and the top teams, the managers of the other three teams gave the team's physical training to McGee, who has already graduated from Pintus.

Mai basically took over the work based on the principle that a sheep is herd, and a flock of sheep is also herd.

Luke de Jong and his brother had just finished their lap and were holding their knees and gasping for air, sweat dripping from the top of their heads to the ground.

Looking at the two young players of Leeds United, Charlotte and Bale. Although I was also tired, I was not as unbearable as myself.

"Sim, it seems that there is still a big gap between us and Leeds United."

"Luke, would you really like to go to Leeds United?"

"Don't you want to?"

After saying that, Luuk de Jong deliberately walked over to Bale's side to prepare for the next physical training. After all, he is young and vigorous, and he always wants to compete with people who are stronger than him, and De Jong just wants to see how big the gap between himself and the other party is.

Collin McGee saw it all in his eyes, and he thought that he had come over with Lee, Casper, David Beckham and Ryan Giggs.

What a year!
