Nottingham Forest defender Wes Morgan is now 25 years old. Wen Sheng knew that the captain of the championship team Leicester City in his previous life was named Morgan. It was not until the first half of the season that Wen Sheng confirmed that it was indeed that Morgan.

The age is suitable, the body is strong, the speed is not slow, and he has a household registration in England. After seeing Morgan's current game situation, Wen Sheng decided to introduce Morgan very early and use him to replace Lawrence.

Although he has been upgraded now, Wen Sheng still doesn't want to change his target, which is him.

As for Van Dijk, he is being trained as a substitute and future superstar. The defensive line lacks height, and Van Dijk's arrival is a useful supplement.

The young Belgian player De Bruyne was very coveted by Wen Sheng. Later, Ding Ding's numerous assists made Wen Sheng determined to get it.

Wen Sheng doesn't have particularly high expectations for Van Dijk's immediate combat effectiveness, but he is absolutely certain about Ding Ding Wensheng. Judging from the rules, all offensive superstars like that are basically the type who wants to be famous early.

On the defensive end, that's not necessarily the case.

Although Ding Ding is unknown now, he is still 19 years old at least. He has some appearance and can definitely be used.

There is almost no consideration for Wen Sheng, a player from South America or other regions. It is very troublesome to use a labor certificate. Those who are famous cannot afford it, and those who are not famous will most likely not be able to get a labor certificate. It is better to choose in the EU.

There are also a lot of good players from the EU, but it’s not like there are none.

I sat at the table with a pen in hand, as if I couldn't grasp anything. Names flashed through my mind one by one, but they always felt inappropriate.

For example, Pogba is too young and is still being fed by Ferguson. He has to train himself. What Wen Sheng needs is immediate combat power. Boateng is obviously more suitable than Pogba.

"Who else is more suitable?!" Wen Sheng couldn't help but said to himself and kept scratching his hair.

After pondering over it, Wen Sheng simply stopped writing. His brain was not as capable as a computer, and it was inappropriate to think of so many things. After thinking about it, he simply called Derek Mader.

Derek Mader is the team's chief scout. He came to Crystal Palace through recruitment only after Parish purchased the team. Wen Sheng didn't know anything about his business abilities and so on.

Now he decided to talk to Mader. Although time was tight, as the team's chief scout, he should provide himself with a list of options.

"Derek, I want to talk to you about the summer transfer! You also know that there is not much time left for us, we act too late! But there is no way now, we have to bite the bullet!" Wen

Sheng first introduced the situation, and then started to get straight to the point and said that Mader needed to provide him with some players in certain positions.

"The goalkeeper needs a substitute. It doesn't matter how old he is! I need to add one or two central defenders, and I need one to the left and right of the full-backs as substitutes. I need someone in the midfield and midfielder position who must have strong air defense capabilities and technical skills.

It should be better. I need two wingers who can pass and shoot well and have a certain speed! I also need a substitute for the forward!"

Wen Sheng said his request quickly, while Mader complained endlessly on the other end of the phone. Wen Sheng needed too many reinforcements. He recently led several full-time scouts to concentrate on sorting out the inspections left by the previous scout team.

He reported and did no other work. For a moment, he doubted whether he could complete the task.

But Wen Sheng was the boss, and Mader had just gotten the job. He definitely didn’t want to displease Wen Sheng, so he had no choice but to agree.

After talking to Marder, Wen Sheng called Zahavi again, told him about the situation, and then asked Zahavi to help him find a way. He wanted him to be his agent at first, not just because he wanted to let Zahavi occasionally.

Do you want to help with this?

Zahavi immediately became energetic and discussed the conditions with Wen Sheng.

"The scandal is up front. It's okay for me to help you with the transfer, but I need to take a commission from the middle! You have 40 million transfer funds in your hands, so I can take 5 million, which is not excessive!"

"Haha, Pini, I appreciate your honesty! But I want to ask you, are you too fucking evil?!" Wen Sheng was simply confused by Zahavi's lion opening his mouth.

"You and I agree on this! If you don't agree, forget it. I am your agent, not your pimp!" Zahavi was not angry at all. He believed that Wen Sheng would recognize the reality.

"Okay, I agree!" Wen Sheng thought for a moment. Crystal Palace is really in a terrible situation. The key is that it's already June. The transfer action must not be delayed. If it is later, the good ones will not be able to afford it, and the suitable ones will be picked out.

, even if it is not singled out, how can the team get along if it is delayed until the start of next season?! The next season will be miserable!

"But you must ensure the quality for me, I have requirements!" Wen Sheng added.

"Of course I will provide you with a list according to your request! But no one can give you this guarantee as to whether it can be used by you at that time!" Zahavi also told the truth that players are not just a commodity that looks suitable.

, you have to use it to know.

Players and managers need to match each other.

….

On June 2, the training class started. The FA did not just hold this one. Wen Sheng had taken leave to participate in training in the first half of the season. The FA had training classes at the beginning of this year and in March. At that time, Wen Sheng

Sheng leads the Crystal Palace into a fierce battle and has no time to attend training.

There are only a dozen people in the training class, and several of them are retired players, but Wen Sheng doesn't know them at all. The players who want to be known to fans in China should be considered stars. These few are obviously not stars.

But there was one person among them that Wen Sheng knew, Eddie Howe.

Eddie Howe, the man who led Bournemouth into trouble in later generations.

Yesterday, the staff asked Wen Sheng for autographs and photos, as if they were star-chasers, but today these classmates didn't have much feelings for Wen Sheng. It's the so-called colleagues who are enemies.

There are three people who are exceptions, and Eddie Howe is one of them.

When everyone gets to know each other, they are polite but not rude.

When Eddie Howe shook hands with Wen Sheng, he praised Wen Sheng and showed great enthusiasm.

"Wen, you are so amazing! I'm so impressed by your... tactics!"

Eddie Howe really wanted to say your bus counterattack tactics, but that statement would make the other party unhappy, so he kept it to himself.

Wen Sheng was also pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect Eddie Howe to be in this training class. Now it seems that Eddie Howe is still very young. It's not too much to say he is in his twenties. In fact, Eddie Howe is not much older than him. Now

Just over 32 years old.

I didn’t expect that this guy was driving without a license!

He didn't know much about Eddie Howe's tactical style, but he knew that Eddie Howe led Bournemouth to avoid relegation for several consecutive years without outstanding personnel. There is no doubt about Eddie Howe's ability as head coach.

of.

"Thank you for the compliment, Eddie, you can call me Daniel!" Wen Sheng's face was full of joy.

The two of them became familiar with each other as soon as they met, which made the uncles in the class extremely unhappy.

That night, the two met for a drink at a bar in the town and began to discuss tactics. Eddie Howe particularly wanted to know how Wen Sheng led the Crystal Palace to create miracles. Wen Sheng did not hide anything and told everything.

"Daniel, what do you think is the most important thing about being a head coach?!" Eddie Howe asked after hearing Wen Sheng's story.

"The most important thing?!" Wen Sheng not only pondered, but after a moment he gave the answer, "Assess the situation!"

"Assess the situation?!" Eddie Howe was a little confused as to what this meant.

"My philosophy is that tactics are not static. Different players should have different tactical designs according to different situations! For example, I just talked about Crystal Palace. At that time, we needed to avoid relegation, the team's morale was low, and our defense lacked the previous strength.

Those players seem to be unstable. I must first strengthen my defense, rebuild the team's confidence starting from not conceding the ball, and then slowly make adjustments based on the characteristics of the players!"

Wen Sheng explained it very clearly, and Eddie Howe also thought it made sense, but it was a little difficult for him to understand.

"I mean, the team's goals, player composition, team morale, and even the boss's requirements may affect the head coach's tactical decisions! I admit that it is good to stick to your own ideas, but as a person, I

Not that kind of coach! I just pursue victory!"

"That's just victory theory!" Eddie Howe laughed.
Chapter completed!
