King’s Landing in Nottingham

Chapter 258 Pre-season Talk

Wei Xun didn’t expect that Mark would want to come to work in Notts County, but "Fans" is hiring people. If this kid thinks clearly, he is still willing to give Mark a chance. It's all like this, both Elder Zhang and Hou Zifan didn't give up on him, indicating that there must be some special relationship between them.

Hou Zifan is a young man. Although the monkey doesn't hold himself accountable anymore, he still owes it to others. People don't need this debt, but you have to pay it back.

It should be the first time Huang Yingying saw her own hair, Hou Zifan only felt that Teacher Huang was too dependent on Wei Xun, and couldn't control this kid at all. Sister Zhang also felt the same way.

It's impossible for Zhou Yu to fight Huang Gai about feelings.

At the end of the Wei Xun family’s vacation in the United States, the preparations for the new season in Notts County have officially begun. In addition to Wei Xun’s scheduled warm-up with Sporting Lisbon, Guardiola is already choosing opponents for the warm-up match. Now, this is the time to reflect the strength of the Notts County Club's circle of friends.

In League Two, many big clubs did not look down on Notts County, and the opponents of the same level were too weak. After a few times played with Notts County, the League One team found that it was not a League Two ball at all. The level of the team.

In the warm-up match, everyone wants to find the status, score goals on the weak team, and find confidence. If you always get some particularly strong opponents over, and the fans are sprayed by the fans, I might as well be a "warm-up match." Wang", at ease, with little pressure on public opinion. Of course, this has to be determined according to your own situation. If even some weak teams in Projectile Land cannot be taken down, maybe after a few years, there are really not a few teams that can be won by themselves. At that time, It is as embarrassing as it is.

Due to the UEFA Cup this year, Guardiola hopes to fight with opponents from different countries so that Notts County can better adapt to the style of different leagues. Under the leadership of Antorin, the data analysis center has gone to various venues for the UEFA Cup qualifiers to collect data and game videos, and Magpie Sports leader Jorge Mendes is also actively using his contacts Relationship to help Notts County find a warm-up opponent.

There are still more than 20 days to go before the first game of the new season’s Community Shield. After the players of Notts County come back, they will successively undergo medical examinations at medical centers and community hospitals to determine their body fat rate, reaction speed, Those comrades whose weight, physical fitness and other indicators have fallen more severely need to undergo the most stringent recovery training and control their diet.

Unfortunately, Frank Ribery won the bid again. The other winners include Essayas, Barzagli, and Wei Xun’s brother-in-law Huang Miao who has just returned to the team. In addition, the team’s new aid Ronaldinho and loanee Some of the indicators of Danny Alves who came over did not meet the requirements. When the team training begins tomorrow, they can only watch the teammates conduct tactical training on the sidelines, and they have to repeat those mechanically. Boring physical training moves.

Early the next morning, Guardiola was the first to arrive at the training ground. Behind him were four of his assistant coaches, one by one wearing black sunglasses, with his hands behind his back, acting like a business man. I don't know who is going to scare anyone.

"What I hold in my hand is everyone's physical test data. The situation is not particularly ideal..." Guardiola shook the folder in his hand, a bit of hatred for iron and steel in it.

"This year, we in Notts County will face the most demanding multi-line combat with heavy tasks. Some people have just arrived and may not know my style well. I make an exception and say once again. Before the start of the new season, the physical fitness level must be obtained. Yes. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of my pass-and-control play, when defending, I must make a high-post press. Without sufficient physical fitness, it is impossible to do this."

"Professional players, the most important thing is self-discipline. It's a holiday. It's not that you are not allowed to play or eat, but at least this body can't be too serious, right?" Guardiola glanced at all the players present. Staring at their stomachs, he finally chose Frank Ribery, the unlucky guy:

"Frank, look at it for yourself, how much meat is on your face, the scars are covered, and how big is your belly. I guess if you take off your clothes, I don’t even have your abdominal muscles? I have to look back. Let’s talk about Christina, I can’t eat too well for you at ordinary times. You kid has a fat physique, so I don’t want to clean up!"

"Hahahahaha..." The guy Arjan Robben took the lead and laughed, fearing that the world would not be chaotic. After that, everyone started to laugh. Ribery's belly is indeed a bit big. If you don't know, you think This kid is pregnant.

"Ahem!"

Guardiola coughed symbolically, and the scene fell silent. This is his third season in Notts County. This prestige is still there. He is in the locker room and said one thing, but he is not authoritarian. , Unless the player's performance is catastrophic, he will be furious.

"The UEFA Cup, most of you have never played before. Here, I want to tell you that, except for the finals, all of them are two rounds of knockout rounds. They will be played within a week. You don’t know that we will be played this time. It’s also possible to go as far as the cold weather is in Russia. The weather, coupled with the exhaustion of the journey, if the physical fitness is not up to the standard during winter training and summer training, what will be the consequences, I don’t think I need to do more Having said that, I glanced at what I said!"

"hiss……"

Robben glared at Guardiola, not daring to show up, but Ribery screamed again, "Coach, I'm afraid of the cold, can I lose some fat? Russia has no fat that can't hold it... "

"It's summer now, Frank! Isn't it too early to grow fat and keep it for the winter?"

"Hahahahaha..."

"Uh..." The teammates laughed again, and Ribery had no excuses this time, he could only nod silently.

"The UEFA Cup, the League Cup, the FA Cup, the Magpies Cup, the Community Shield, and the League. These are all our tasks this year. Today I will set the tone with you, the Community Shield, and fight for it; how far the UEFA Cup can go, How far to go; the league strives to enter the top six; the League Cup, Mr. Chairman, means this year to see and try to crack the fourth round of the spell. Others can be adjusted. Mr. Chairman will not treat you badly. If you have any ideas, You can come to me and Mr. Chairman’s office anytime to find us."

Taking advantage of the interval between Guardiola’s words, many players began to whisper. Guardiola was also listening. The players talked, mostly about the main position competition, which is also human nature. This summer, Wei According to his own requirements, Hun introduced many players to Notts County, far exceeding his expectations.

Originally, Wei Xun said that as long as the top eight in the league is enough, after all, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle, Chelsea, Tottenham, etc. are not easy to provoke teams, but Guardiola said that he should try his best this year. In the first six, there will still be a European game next season, otherwise the team's players may be lost.

As the platform becomes bigger, the temptation becomes bigger. The young people of the team don't know how many times they have been missed by those giant clubs.

"I'm listening to what everyone said just now. This year we have introduced a lot of players, but two like Fabio and Oviemas, who are still in the recovery stage, will not have any impact on you. Multi-line combat, aside from national team games, you may have to play more than 60 games in the club. Even if there are two or three players in each position, you can still get enough playing time, but in some key points I will make a fair judgment based on your usual performance in the games."

After speaking, Guardiola gave up half of his position, and the roaring emperor Eric Tynehag stepped forward and named a few players:

"Didier, Xavi, Essayas, Frank, Arjan, you guys will go with me to set up the training equipment, and the others will rest in place. After five minutes, the training officially begins!"

"dry!"

"Get restless!"
