17. Maguire 3

"I promise I will work hard!" When he heard Wensheng say that the national team was fiercely competitive, Maguire almost patted his chest and promised that he wanted Wensheng to see his determination.

"No, no, Harry, to put it realistically, the possibility of your being selected for the qualifiers this time is very low, and it can even be said to be none!" Wen Sheng's words seemed to stab a sharp bayonet into the dream balloon.

"I have already understood your characteristics. At this stage, you have not met the national team's standards, both technically and psychologically!"

The starter given by Ferran gave Maguire full of confidence, but it did not make him arrogant. He still understood that the praises from his family and friends were somewhat encouraging. Therefore, Wensheng's words may be sharp or a little ugly, but Maguire listened patiently.

"Do you know why I want to implement the big national team plan?!" Wensheng's tone was very cautious.

"I, I don't know much!"

Wen Sheng smiled. Maguire said tactfully that he didn't understand, but it was not surprising.

"This is what you need to know! From my perspective, I hope to build a team that has always been a powerful team, a team that loves football and is willing to contribute everything to me and the fans. But at present, my tactical philosophy cannot be fully realized by the current national team players, so I need you young blood to join, you are energetic and good at learning, you may be at a disadvantage now, but I believe that in time, you can make greater contributions to the national team and me! I am willing to train you for the national team for the World Cup! From your perspective, entering the national team is a great thing. You can learn from each other and promote each other, and you can get the glory of fighting for the country. Maybe one day you can write your name in the hearts of English fans!"

"Harry, this big national team is not aiming at the 2018 World Cup! And you may now compete for the country on the World Cup stage in two years!"

"I understand! Boss!" Maguire called out the word "boss" without hesitation, "I will obey all your arrangements!"

"Very good! Very good! Harry, be cautious and be impatient. Don't be frustrated by losing the final list. Your future is still long. I am willing to believe that you will appear on the big stage two years later! However, I will also warn you that the competition is fierce, and you must prepare for long-term and arduous training!" Wen Sheng nodded his head with satisfaction on the other side of the phone. Okay, now he is also full of domineering spirit and has conquered another player.

"I can, boss!" Maguire's speech seemed to be getting more and more straightforward.

After hanging up the phone, Alan and the others were relieved. Maguire said to his parents calmly: "Mr. Wen notified me that I was selected for the training camp in September!"

The relatives and friends around him did not understand, and cheers rang out, sincerely happy for Maguire.

Maguire was determined to defend himself, but was unable to refute it in the end. After the party, Maguire said to his parents: "In fact, being selected for the training camp does not mean entering the qualifying roster in September. Mr. Wen even said that I was not likely to be selected for this national team roster!"

Only then did Allen and Zoe remember the plan for the big national team. According to Wen Sheng, that seems to be the case. His son seems to have just been selected for the national team training camp!

"Work hard, Harry, I believe you can do it!" Allen had to pat his son's shoulder. Is this a waste of happiness?! But then he thought that the son who could become one of the big list of more than 30 people would still be unlimited in the future, and his smile regained his face.

"Hey man, you have to know that being shortlisted for the training camp is not an easy thing, it's already amazing, especially if you guess you're 23!"

"Yes, your dad is right! You are already amazing!"

"No, no, mom and dad, you don't need to comfort me, I'm not depressed! Mr. Wen will take care of me! I believe in my future!" Maguire is very fighting spirit.

But there is one thing he didn't tell his parents that it was really nothing special to be a member of the national team at the age of 23. John Stones, Sterling, Rooney and other young talents were all recruited by the national team under the age of 20 and completed their debut, and John Stones was also his friend.

In his early years, Maguire also stayed at Barnsley's youth training camp, while Stones was a Barnsley native and debuted in Barnsley. The two were teammates and later became opponents.

Thinking of Stones now, Maguire decided to call his childhood friend and ask for some taboos.

John Stones was at his home in Manchester. He was not worried about not being recruited, because Wensheng appreciated him very much. Even though he failed to get enough playing time under Wensheng because of his strength problems, he was rented out. However, Wensheng has been paying attention to him and returned in his last season in coaching Manchester City. Wensheng gave him a lot of opportunities, so Stones is also a serious direct descendant.

Wen Sheng had a lot of ideas to him during the previous several calls. The call order had not been issued yet, but he knew that he would definitely be on the list.

Compared to the national team position, Stones is more worried about his position in the club. Guardiola introduced and bought a new central defender. Stones cannot guess what Guardiola wants to do, and it is obvious that his competition in the club will be more intense.

Manchester City happened to be an afternoon game on the weekend. In the evening, Stones and his girlfriend had dinner together. When he returned home to play games, he received a call from his childhood friend.

To be honest, the relationship between the two is not that close, but at least they have played for the Barnsley youth training team and the English youth echelon. When pressing the call button, Stones' tone seemed very warm and a little confused. After the game, what did this guy call me and want to say?

Maguire told his story carefully, and Stones quickly understood the meaning. It turned out that his friends wanted to confuse Wensheng's preferences.

After Stones laughed, he quarreled, which made Maguire relieved.

"The boss has always spoken in this way. He is such a person. He likes to speak directly! Don't be surprised. He won't blame him for saying whatever you have!"

"He is very strict, okay, in other words, he has a strong desire to control! He hopes that everyone will listen to him. On the team, he only wants him to have a voice, so I suggest that he has any requirements in the future, you'd better follow it!"

"No, no, no, man, it's different from being harsh and being bad. He is very strict but also easy to get along with! He respects the freedom of the players. Sometimes he doesn't seem to care what we look like off the court. He just wants to see us working hard on the court. So if you can't perform well and things off the court are sought after by the media, then you have to worry about your position in your mind!"

"Trust me, man, he has a set! He always succeeds!"

"Say important things three times, be obedient, be obedient, absolutely obedient!"

It is not easy to succeed. As September approaches, the coaching staff's work has become busy again. Compiling the player's personal inspection report is a very time-consuming and laborious task. Fortunately, there is a cooperation between data companies.

Maguire soon received the gift that Wensheng prepared for him, the player's personal report and the national team coach provided them with training guides!

Yes, it is a fantasy to expect that the pitiful training time during the national team training day to train the team to the point where the team is commanded by an arm. The story of a thousand and one night cannot be written like this, so Wensheng handed over the work to the players and the time to the club.

When there is no training camp, national team players also need to seriously study Wen Sheng’s tactical concept, combine the training guide of the coaching team to improve themselves and make up for their own shortcomings.

Some people complain, while others are happy. For Maguire, such a report not only appreciates Wensheng's love, but also brings him real benefits. Some of his irregular movements and insufficient skills in dealing with certain types of defensive problems are reflected in the report. Training suggestions will allow him to make progress and grow.
