0285 I'm looking forward to it

After Bynes brought a group of young Leeds players to the training ground, the rest of the squad also arrived.

The familiar and the unfamiliar all got together in twos and threes, chatting and warming up.

"Alain, did you see Robin that day?"

Robben, who was warming up, caught up with Smith, who was running in front, from behind, and asked.

"I saw him, and I jokingly asked him if he would go back to Leeds United."

Van Persie, who was originally planning to move to the Premier League, flew to Germany after being released by Manchester City. A couple of Leeds team-mates said goodbye to Robin van Persie after a brief reunion.

"He must be unwilling, after all, the boss has already bought a new striker."

Robben said as he strained his mouth and motioned for Smith to look to the sidelines, where new striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who had just arrived to report from the team, was warming up.

Unlike a few of them jogging, Ibrahimovic was doing leg raises and sideways movements while he was listening to his national team team-mate Glenqvist introduce his Leeds United team-mates.

'The three running together were captain Alan Smith and flanked by winger Arjen Robben, who had previously played for Chelsea. And then this one who is joining them to chat with is ......"

'I know that at Ajax we were team-mates. Ibrahimovic pointed at Sneijder.

Then, Glenquist pointed to the other side, where it was Baines and the others who had just entered the arena first. They have finished jogging and started doing simple training with the ball.

After a short break, they needed a little training before the training camp to get their ball feeling back.

"Gareth Bale, left winger."

'Charlotte Black, right-back.'

'Milner, right-back.'

"Muamba, you should know this, it is the one who was found to have a heart problem at the beginning, but he has recovered now, the team's midfielder."

'Arneson, but we prefer to call him JR, who can play wide and can play as a striker, and he may compete with you as a starting striker.

When Ibrahimovic heard this, he couldn't help but pout a little, he didn't come here to play as a substitute.

Then they saw the last two players come out of the locker room.

As soon as he saw them appear, Smith counted the players on the pitch with his fingers until he had counted them all before he said to the last two, "Gilvy, Danny, you were almost late, you know?" ”

Sigurdsson immediately pointed to Danny Ross next to him and said, "Captain, it's his car with a flat tire, otherwise we wouldn't be late." ”

Ross also immediately added: "The two of us left the car on the side of the road and ran over, so we can save the warm-up." ”

"Where's the car?" Smith was concerned about the two men's cars parked on the side of the road.

"Give the keys to the club, they'll take care of it." Ross replied.

Seeing that everyone was coming, Smith motioned for everyone to stop warming up and looked at the team's office building in anticipation.

Everyone knows that this is when their manager should show up.

However, they didn't notice Lee George coming out and was replaced by the team's strength and conditioning coach, Colin McGee.

As soon as the gym-like trainer appeared, he shouted to everyone in the venue: "Everyone, the medical team is there, I'll do a check-up on all of you, and if I find someone eating and drinking in the offseason, then you can wait to swim across the English Channel and then run from France to Spain." ”

Hearing this, several players who usually like to play looked at the people around them to see if they were oversized.

At this time, they are obviously more concerned about others being punished, so that they can enjoy it. As for whether they are up to standard, they are not worried, could it be that the manager can really let them run from France to Spain?

The big deal is to practice a little more during the training camp, which hasn't happened once or twice, and their strength and conditioning coach McGee has always been able to get them up to the target in a "reasonable" way before the start of the season.

"Let's go, guys. I'm not kidding, but this time you boss is going to play for real, and although it won't be enough to run from France to Spain, there is a chance to run three laps around Madrid. ”

"Spare us, Coach McGee."

"I'll introduce you to two nightclub girls, and I beg you to write about my weight with a nine-percent discount."

"Shut up, Jonathan. I think you've gained at least 10 pounds. ”

McGee pushed Woodgate, who was still hahaggling with him, towards the medical team, motioning for everyone to follow.

In the office building not far away, several Leeds United coaches are watching the players from the windows of the conference room, not only for the players to prepare for the new season, but also for the new season.

Moreover, they assembled earlier than the players, and they began to discuss tactics for next season three days ago.

Seeing that all the players had gone away, the coaching staff returned to their seats one after another to continue their discussions.

George Lee tapped on the whiteboard again, and the general starting line-up for Leeds this season had already been drawn, but there were still one or two places to discuss.

"In the frontcourt, the positions of Ibrahimovic, Robben, Sneijder, and Smith can basically be determined." He made a big circle with his hand in the front court, and then stopped at the left winger position of the team, "I think the first choice for our starting line here should be Bale, and JR is the second choice, it's not that I don't agree with JR's ability, but we need to keep him for different positions." ”

And hearing him say this, the following assistant coaches also agreed.

In the two seasons that Bale has been at Leeds United, he has already shown great individual ability, especially his breakthrough on the left flank, which has been the magic weapon for Leeds United to overcome their opponents.

"We don't have a problem with the front, although JR can't play the ideal starter, but whether it's a striker, the left side, or the right side, he can make up for it as soon as possible, right?" John Sheridan said:

And Sheridan's words are also very unnutritious nonsense, after all, the team sold Kuyt and Davis two forwards in the offseason, and now the only remaining forwards are Ibrahimovic and Arneson who have just arrived, and there is an 18-year-old Edmundson who can be ignored.

However, then Sheridan asked a few questions in the minds of the assistant coaches, and this is the point.

'We've lost Mattieson now and we've only three centre-backs left......

Sheridan was halfway through speaking, but he was arched by Speed on the side.

There are not just three centre-backs in the squad right now, with the exception of Woodgate, Albchestenson and Glenqvist, George Lee has put the boy Sean Wallace in the first team.

When Xie Lidan said this, he couldn't erase George Li's face a little.

And George Lee also knew what they wanted to say, and motioned to Speed not to dwell on what Sheridan had just said.

"I brought Sean up, just to let him experience the feeling of the first team, I won't let him play unless it's an important game, although he is very good, but I still think he can't play in the fierce game of the Premier League now, after all, the official Premier League game is not the same as the youth team and the reserve team."

'I was thinking of having Daley and Charlotte try their hand at centre-back.

They were a little dumbfounded to hear the manager say that.

It's fine to say that Blind plays centre-back, but Blake is already one of the best young right-backs in the Premier League, and it is a surprise that he will switch to centre-back.

However, with the examples of Smith and Van Persie in front, they can only accept George Lee's advice.

After all, the multi-directional development of players has always been the focus of George Lee's work.
