King’s Landing in Nottingham

Chapter 107 Don't give up, Esayas!

The game was about to go in four days, and Wei Xun threw his head over to Marotta and Zhao Tai. He had to go to the first team to see.

Hope that Harvey Esayas can have a good performance in the first team's confrontation training.

The Notts County office building and the training center were not far away, and Wei Xun soon got outside the fence of the training ground.

For Esayas, Wei Xun admitted that he was looking forward to it. Every little demon in Notts County was brought back by Wei Xun himself, and his current performance is also very good. Although Essayas is not a little demon, Wei Xun does not want him to break the ring.

No one would believe that a fat man who has retired can gain a foothold in the Notts County first team, but Wei Xun not only believes it, but also pushes him to the first team...

When Wei Xun, chairman of the Notts County Club, appeared on the training ground, Mertesacker was the first to notice him, and it was not the first time that Wei Xun made such a sudden visit.

Following the gazes of the old Mertesacker and Eric Tynehag, Guardiola also saw Wei Xun who was walking towards him, but he was working hard to take notes and had no time to be distracted.

"Wei, why do you have time to come to watch the first team training? Don't you have to accompany Huang to the hospital for a pregnancy checkup today?" Old Mertesacker didn't understand Wei Xun's sudden appearance, but he got up to meet Wei Xun.

"I have checked it, and I will get the report in a few days. I just want to see if the central defender we introduced is suitable. If it doesn't work, there is still time to operate and try other goals."

Wei Xun was also welcome, and went directly to Guardiola's side, and the roaring emperor Tain Hage quickly gave up a seat to Wei Xun.

"Josep, how is it, are you satisfied with the signings during the winter transfer period?"

Guardiola closed his eyes and knew that Wei Xun came to the training ground for Esayas. The last time this guy came to the training ground was when he stayed up late to adjust his tactics. Smiled and shook his head:

"It’s no problem for Abelardo to integrate into the team. He maintains good physical fitness and form. Essayas has been transferred to the reserve team by me. Now he is in charge of Stefan. You want to ask. You have to trouble him..."

"Damn, what's the situation!"

Hearing Guardiola's words, Wei Xun raised his head and looked at the quiet old Mertesacker in surprise:

"Stefan, he just came the next day, why did he put it in your hands? Why?"

Old Mertesacker shrugged: "I didn't tell you the little things. As usual, this guy needs to take physical tests, a ball test without confrontation, a ball test with confrontation, and a game before he can practice with a team. If one of the tests fails, you will need to be dispatched to the training center to find Coach Billa to receive a special training task exclusively for him."

Wei Xun nodded.

The old Mertesacker understood all these things just now, and he understood them very well. Although he knew the inspirational experience of Essayas’s later generations, Notts County is a place that relies on strength to speak. You don’t have two brushes. It is destined to fail these tests in Notts County.

Every item tested is discussed by Billa and Klauschen, and what you are looking for is your competence in this position; Essayas only needs to have a passing performance in the necessary abilities of the central defender. You can be shortlisted.

"Then how is his test result? Isn't it good? Not so..."

When it came to not saying that, Wei Xun himself was a little lacking in confidence, and his voice was unnaturally weaker.

"I still need to think about it. Of course it's not good. If it's good, I don't need to be sent to me to train with a bunch of kids."

Old Mertesacker shrugged awkwardly, obviously a little speechless.

"But it's not good to just transfer them to the reserve team, Shi Tefan... anyway, you also let people train with the first team?"

"The idea is good, but I really can't implement it..."

"why?"

"Because he can't even pass the most basic physical stamina level..., Javier said, this guy’s stamina is too poor. He can't handle even 20 minutes of the intensity of the English second-level game. He started to help after a few laps. He was breathing heavily on his knees. But to be honest, his basic skills are very solid and his body is very strong. My son and Giogio can’t get him going together..."

"Oh, that's natural, a giant physique, a height of 1.96 meters and a weight of two hundred catties. That's no joke. I think he can lift me up with one hand! By the way, Shi Tefan, What did Esayas do after the test yesterday?"

"Naturally, I'm going to practice physical fitness", the old Mertesacker's voice was a little helpless, the barrel principle is not very simple, physical fitness is his biggest problem, what else can he do without running laps.

"Exercise physical fitness, diet, and lose weight by the way. Javier Marlowe has basically become his full-time physical fitness coach. You have to give Javier more money and chicken legs!"

Wei Xun nodded. Javier Marlowe is filling in for himself. Adding more money is what it should be, so that good employees who share the worries of the boss can be promoted and paid.

"Stefan, I understand what you said, please take your time, believe me, he really has the ability to play the main force in our first team."

"I understand, I understand, Wei, I believe in your vision from start to finish, but we can't worry, we have to take it step by step. I think he played well in this game."

The two set their sights on the court. The players of the reserve team were very positive, hoping to impress Guardiola and Wei Xun, and get the same opportunities as George Grant and Anthony Elt to board England. B is soaring into the sky.

The scoreboard on the sidelines shows the score of this training game so far. The first team leads the Notts County reserve team 3-1. The reserve team’s goal was scored by Esayas.

The guards of the first team couldn't help him in the penalty area, and he easily scored a header.

Esayas is the tallest player on the training field, so Wei Xun easily found Harvey Esayas on the court.

Tall and strong, he is simply the king in the penalty area. No one can stand him upright. He is stronger than Crouch of the England national team. He is just tall and thin, unable to fight against. If Essayas' physical fitness is up. Now, he is definitely a BUG player. Wei Xun, who was a little lost just now, couldn't help but look forward to it again.

"Stefan, how long do you think Esaias will be able to play?"

"This is also an issue that I am very concerned about." Old Mertesacker adjusted his sitting posture and opened his notebook.

Now the coach in Notts County has almost a notebook, and when he runs out, he goes to the material management office to collect it. Wei Xun glances at the old Mertesacker's notebook. The latest page records some of the situation of Essayas.

"Uh... it will take two months to play in the second game of England..."

"Oh?"

"His skills are very good, and his physical fitness is not to say, but you have to know that physical fitness is the key to the game. To be honest, the young players who come to us for trial training, you said that none of the test items passed. , There is no one else except him. If this person was not brought by you, I think Bila would have swept him out long ago..."

Old Mertesacker's evaluation made Wei Xun stunned again and again, but what he said made sense, and Wei Xun understood everything.

Later generations of Chinese Super League players and most of our country’s national football players, stop the ball and stop the adult ball. This basic skill is not as good as some football enthusiasts who play wild football all the year round. It is really not ashamed.

Everyone always says "Don't use your hobbies to compete with other people's professions", but in Wei Xun's view, there are many talented children on the Chinese wild courts who have not embarked on the path of professionalism. Their sense of play and talent He won't lose to professional players, but it's inferior in systematic training and physical reserves. Without the support of physical strength, many technical movements are deformed under fierce confrontation.

We often see Chinese Super League players passing directly out of bounds or rushing into the stands. In fact, there are two very important reasons. One is that the physical reserve is not enough, and the other is that the basic skills are too poor and there are problems with kicks, and everyone has them. When making mistakes, but that is not the main influencing factor.

If you regard mistakes as commonplace, then you are also a weird thing.

"How long has he been playing?"

"About fifty minutes."

"That's okay, isn't this more than twenty minutes as Javier said?"

Guardiola, who was taking notes frantically on the side, heard Wei Xun’s words, smiled, and shook his head again and again: "This is a training game, not a real game. The intensity is not so strong, and they are all his own. He only enters. With the ball, there were six fouls and four turnovers, two of which were fatal. He was too heavy and Frank could eat him raw by speed alone..."

Wei Xun was very embarrassed. He could only turn his gaze to the court again. Looking at Harvey Esayas, who worked hard but did not perform well, Wei Xun couldn't help frowning.

Don't give up, Esayas!

Player trial training is really cruel. Essayas undoubtedly loves football, and his successful comeback after three years of retirement is an ironclad proof. He may still be accumulating strength, but he drew a big pie for him ahead of time, putting all this ahead.

You gave someone a beautiful dream, but now you want to tell him, "Man, wake up, you are not suitable for professional football, can you go back and be your clown?"

This is really fucking, Wei Xun felt that he couldn't say it at all.

He is not a compassionate and good-natured person.

A player from entering the youth academy to becoming a player or star is not touted by the media, it depends on the player's own day and night efforts.

Essayas already has talent. All he needs is hard work and self-discipline. Come on, man.

Old Mertesacker noticed that Wei Xun suddenly stopped talking, but frowned and stared at the training ground in a daze. He didn't know what Wei Xun was thinking at the moment, and he was too embarrassed to disturb him. He could only watch Wei Xun who was worried and slowly moved out of his sight.
