King’s Landing in Nottingham

Chapter 29 Special Training Chiellini

The joyful scrubbing "punishment" allowed the Notts County Youth Army to spontaneously form a night training team after losing in the first round: former waist Sneijder, youth academy player Morris Taylor, George Grant , And winger Ribery, with four as the core, they are called "Notts County Phase One" by the club staff:

In the two-on-two real-person confrontation and individual training in the small penalty area, the four people sweated and cheered each other: Sneijder’s 500 free kicks, Ribery’s 200 cross practices, Taylor defended the header, and George scrambled for the header. It was a great time to practice and completed the sixth day of clocking without knowing it. Tomorrow will also be rushed to the away game, Ribery and Sneijder are the team's main players, they need to rest early to save their energy.

In the second round of the league, Notts County went to an away game to challenge Bristol. Facing Notts County, which is incompatible with the style of England's hard bridge and hard horses, Bristol, who was defeated in the last round of the league, urgently needs to take points from Notts County in order to get rid of the awkward position of the bottom of the league. The unpaid Notts County in the first round is also eager to take all three points from Bristol and leave the relegation zone.

In the 68th minute of the game, Frank Ribery and Sneijder worked together on the left flank and finally found a good opportunity. Sneijder pilled the ball forty-five degrees and found Klose who was ambushing in the penalty area. Klose chested the ball and returned it to Frank Ribery. Ribery took the ball and scored a goal for Notts County, 1-0, Notts County took the lead!

Wei Xun did not follow the team to the away game to watch the game, but squeezed into the old Grant’s mailing room and listened to the radio broadcast with the elderly for more than an hour. This goal made both old Grant and Wei Xun really happy. "Wei, Frank is a very hard-working kid. I heard from George that the four of them had practiced for more than 2 hours last night. If it weren't for today's game, I would have to practice more..." Old Grant was afraid that Wei Xun would not. Knowing that Frank Ribery and the others are the same, every time they hear Ribery take the ball, the old Grant keeps talking in Wei Xun’s ear. People who don’t know think that Ribery belongs to the old man. Pro son.

"Old Ge, I know, I know, I know exactly what they do for extra training every night, I remember it, our club is now equipped with cameras, and the new mailing room will be ventilated in a few days. You will be able to move there, and if you have that stuff in the future, you don’t need to use a flashlight to patrol everywhere at night, and you can rest earlier..."

"Where can I go there! Randall and I still have to go on patrol. Your thing can't scare people. At first glance, the distance is quite close, but when we rush over, our base is too big..." The expansion project has increased the workload of the old Grant and Randall, but the old man’s face is full of pride now, a little tired, I am happy!

In the 80th minute, left-back Lahm got a good opportunity in the melee in the penalty area. He took advantage of the assist sent by Klose and easily scored an empty goal, which sealed the victory for the team. At the end of the game, Notts County won 2-0, while Bristol's two-game losing streak secured the position of deputy squad leader of the league. Ram won a single game player medal awarded by the Notts County Club with a high score of 8 points.

In the second round of the league, although there is still a big gap between Guardiola's tactical requirements, Notts County relied on the players' personal ability to achieve a victory, and a victory also made those who criticize the media relentless. The ground was blocked. They didn't care about Notts County's performance on the court. They only looked at the result of the game.

Some tabloid reporters didn't even watch the live broadcast of the game and started to make up news frantically. There is really no lower limit. The team won, Wei Xun felt much more relaxed, but the pressure on Guardiola has not diminished at all. His season has just begun, and he has to work hard to modify his tactical style to win more games.

Three days later, the first round of the League Cup is coming, Notts County will face Bolton from the Premier League. Even if Bolton is now only ranked 16th in the Premier League, it is considered a Premier League underdog, but the skinny camel is bigger than Marathon, and they are a Premier League team anyway. It can only be said that Notts County's luck is really bad. When Zhao Tai went to draw the lottery, he did not realize that he brought Notts County to such a difficult opponent. After the end of the second round of the league, the Notts County team only had one day off before preparing for the League Cup.

Due to the early start of the League Cup, the team needs to face the three-tier battles of the League, the League Cup, and the British Championship. The pressure is relatively high. Wei Xun’s goal is to upgrade the league and win the British Championship. The League Cup is not as important as the one with a century-old history. The FA Cup, therefore, the League Cup has become the training ground for Notts County. "Coconut" Chiellini, who has never been given a chance to play, has been told by his assistant that he will make his debut in the game three days later. The young man was very excited at first, and then fell into deep anxiety:

He has never played a central defender or a left back, but the boss and coach told him that his most suitable position is a defender, and he also took out a large pile of data from the data analysis center to prove to himself that he was in a friendly match with the team. During the internal training, the performance of the central defender was very struggling, which made him very self-blame and felt very sorry for the trust of the boss and coach.

It's not that he hasn't moved the idea of ​​a transfer, even if he goes out on loan, but his current level and unknown status, in England, where he is not familiar with his life, he wants to come back after becoming stronger. The meaning of day dreamers. At the invitation of George Grant and Ribery, Chiellini also joined the first "Night Training Team" in Notts County. Maurice Taylor was his partner. The two of them played with Sneijder and Lee. A three-man team consisting of Berry and George Grant conducted a two-on-three offensive and defensive drill in the penalty area.

I found through the camera that today’s "night training team" extra training has ended. Wei Xun contacted the management of the training ground through an internal phone and asked him to tell Chiellini to come to his office. The two were in Wei Xun’s office. Sitting opposite each other on the leather sofa.

This was the first time he was called to the office by his boss to talk, Chiellini looked a little cramped and seemed a little nervous.

"Georgio, maybe you should know the purpose of my calling for you today!" Wei Xun took two glasses of water and placed them between them. "The lemon slices are in a small jar under the coffee table. I don't know if you can drink it or not. I'm used to it, add it yourself if you need it..."

Chiellini was already very nervous at first, but now he heard Wei Xun speak and he became even more nervous. Although he is very mature, Chiellini is now just a child.

"Gioggio, you know, I am not only the team's psychologist but also the team's assistant coach. Three days later, you will start the game against the Premier League team. I am afraid that you will be under pressure, so I want to find You talk..." Wei Xun took a sip of lemonade, feeling the sourness brought by the tip of his tongue, "Do you have anything to say about us placing you in the central defender position?"

"Boss, I will play whatever position you let me play!" Chiellini replied without hesitation.

Wei Xun glanced at Chiellini and said with a smile, "I know, you weren't a defender before. You often played an avant-garde. Suddenly placing you in the position of a central defender will definitely make you feel a little uncomfortable. I was the first one. At the same time as you, I played as a left-winger, and then I was changed to a left-back. After I came to the University of Nottingham, I was transformed into a central defender and midfielder."

Chiellini didn’t expect his boss to have a similar experience to himself, “Boss, I’m always used to attacking with the ball in the backcourt, and Andrea also said, don’t stop the ball easily in the defensive position. Time to ensure the safety of the goal. If there is really no way, I can get out, but I can't always do it, and my position does not meet the requirements of Coach Josep. I feel very sorry for you and the coach..."

"Gioggio, Andrea is right, but he has more experience in the position of central defender than you, and his defense is better than you, but your offense is superior to him. You don’t have an advantage in the warm-up match. Did you score 2 goals? So, starting from this evening, I will give you special training. Let's learn how to play a good central defender. This year, we will play in the 4th line of the league and cup matches, Mertesacker and Balzali Once you accumulate yellow card suspensions or injury, you need to go up in time. Today, I see all of your hard work, and I will continue to cheer tomorrow. Time is not for me. You drink the water first, let’s start immediately. begin…"

Chiellini did not grind, and drank the white water as soon as he raised his head. Then Wei Xun and Chiellini went into the video room in Notts County with lemon slices, hot water bottle and 2 blankets.

The two first watched the video playback of Chiellini in the friendly match. As long as Chiellini took the ball, Wei Xun paused, and then began to analyze where his teammate was at this time and where the opposing player was. Wei Hoon used his years of experience as a central defender to tell Chiellini how to handle the ball at this time is the safest. The first reaction of a low-level defender is to make a clearance, and the second is to hold the ball for other operations. .

The two stayed in the video room until midnight before they watched all the videos about Chiellini. They slept in the video room all night, and the small stove had to be turned on the next day.

The next night, Wei Xun retrieved several excellent central defenders’ game videos from the Internet, all of which were Chiellini’s Italian predecessors-Maldini and Cannavaro, who used them to handle the ball on the court. Let’s give Chiellini an example. Chiellini also drank Wei Xun’s Chinese tea, and his ability to stay up all night skyrocketed.

As the game is about to take place tomorrow, Chiellini needs to get enough rest, Wei Xun and Chiellini's special training tonight ended early. Before parting, the two agreed on a special training time, three times a week, which lasted until the end of the season. And every time Chiellini’s "instructor" is not necessarily Wei Xun, it may also be the old Mertesacker, or coach Pep Guardiola, or even the defender’s most troubled "old hunter" Dario. · Hubner. Anyway, it is to "torture" Chiellini as much as possible so that he can adapt to his new position as soon as possible.
