Prozone sent two data analysts to join Wen Sheng's coaching team. Wen Sheng assigned them to Joey alone to form a data analysis team of the coaching staff, which is responsible for collecting and analyzing game data. Joey's coaching certificate is the lowest level.

Wen Sheng hopes that Joey can continue to learn coaching knowledge, because only in this way his thinking will not just stop at cold data.

At a family gathering in June, he seriously discussed his requirements with Joey. He told Joey that he did not want Joey to be a pure data analyst. He believed that Joey should understand the actual situation of the team and combine it with

Screen and analyze data based on actual conditions to provide basis for decision-making.

About the coaching team Wen Sheng finally had some connections in his own circle, and with the help of Hodgson, Wen Sheng successfully persuaded Southampton goalkeeper coach Malcolm Webster to join the team.

As for the physical fitness coach, Wen Sheng simply carried out the recruitment with great fanfare. He did not set too many conditions in the recruitment notice, but when it came to selecting the interviewees, he privately made requirements for the staff. Those who entered the interview needed to have NSCA (U.S.)

CSCS certificate from the Physical Fitness Association), and have more than three years of experience in football physical training.

In fact, football physical trainers do not need any CSCS certificate. If the head coach is willing, it doesn’t matter if he or she needs a certificate. The FA or UEFA also have similar special certificates, but Wen Sheng does not recognize those. He needs professional science.

training method rather than relying on experience.

Wen Sheng completed the interviews himself. He interviewed seven people in total and finally admitted Brock Hall.

Brock Hall is only 32 years old and has just obtained the CSCS certificate. He has worked in a fitness club and a football club for a period of time before. When Wen Sheng interviewed him, it was more in line with Wen Sheng's taste.

The physical training of football players also has certain particularities. Wen Sheng cannot say that he is completely satisfied with this candidate, but he can try it and it may be much better than imagined.

He originally wanted to recruit another "veteran cadre", and the two of them would be jointly responsible for physical training, but after thinking about it, he was worried that the gap between their lives would be detrimental to the work, so he had to give up. If it didn't work, he could also hire Brock Huo.

According to Er's guidance, the coaching training course he participated in included physical training.

In early July, Wen Sheng returned to work at the Beckenham training base. The team will gather to start summer training on July 9, but the coaching staff must be at the forefront.

As for the coaching staff, of course they also have to work with Wen Sheng. On July 2, the coaching staff held their first meeting in the conference room.

"Okay, everyone is here." Wen Sheng looked around and said with a relaxed smile, "There are old people and new people in our team. Let's introduce ourselves first and get to know each other!"

"I won't introduce him, I think you all know him!" Wen Sheng's words caused everyone to chuckle.

Following the sequence, Lawrence and others introduced themselves, and everyone had a preliminary understanding.

After everyone had finished the introduction, Wen Sheng said with a smile: "From now on, we will eat in the same pot. Matt and the others all know that what I emphasize most is team spirit. Now that we are together

Now, I hope each of you can remember that everything is for the sake of the team. It’s okay to have disputes and differences, but don’t delay your work because of disputes and differences.”

"In future work, if there are any disagreements, my decision will be the final one, and you must implement it! Is that okay?" Wen Sheng stared at everyone seriously.

"clear!"

"OK!"

It is necessary to maintain the authority of the head coach. If the newcomers Hall and Webster do not respect Wen Sheng's authority, there is really no need for them to join this team.

Hearing everyone's affirmative answers, Wen Sheng smiled with satisfaction, "It's much better now than last season. Last season, our coaching staff only had three or four people. Matt and Sean were still players. Now we have added Dane and Brock."

, the team has grown, and I am more confident about the new season!"

Matt, Hawking and the other three old men all laughed. In fact, the main shortages in the coaching staff are goalkeeper coaches and physical trainers. Generally, small clubs do not need to equip these two positions, but Crystal Palace is not small and should be equipped with them. Last season, Sri Lanka

The three goalkeepers, Peroni and Flahavan, have been training on their own under Speroni's leadership for most of the season. It's hard to say whether the results are good or not.

As for physical fitness, the team was already in the middle of the season, and Wen Sheng also knew how to train in this area, so he could barely keep up.

With professional help, Wen Sheng is indeed more prepared for the new season.

After the brief introduction, Wen Sheng began to assign everyone's tasks.

Lawrence and Hawking assisted Wen Sheng in the formulation and implementation of training plans, including personnel management.

Joey is responsible for leading Prozone's data analysts to conduct data analysis. Joey also needs to conduct pre-match reconnaissance analysis of opponents.

Physical coach Hall is responsible for the physical training plan. Of course, his plan must be integrated into the team's training outline. Wen Sheng assigned him and Lawrence and Hawking to come up with a preliminary plan.

Why is it a preliminary plan? Because Hall has just arrived and does not know the basic physical condition and adaptability of the team members. The only reference is the plan when Warnock led the team for summer training last season, but it has been a year.

, Wen Sheng does not think that is a suitable plan for the team's summer training.

Goalkeeper coach Webster is mainly responsible for goalkeeper training. Wen Sheng told him to listen more to the players' opinions and communicate with them more when formulating the training plan.

Webster was also an old man. Although he was recruited here, he still understood the truth. Wen Sheng did not want him to have any quarrel with Speroni.

Before he came, Wen Sheng made it clear that he hoped Webster could continue Speroni's competitive form and that training new players was not the focus at all.

After assigning work, Wen Sheng began to explain to everyone his tactical ideas for the new season. Last season, due to problems on the defensive line and performance requirements, Wen Sheng tended to be conservative in his tactical style.

The new season is the first year that Crystal Palace has been promoted to the Premier League, but they need to play a lot of games, similar to the top teams in the Premier League. The team will be tested very hard, and the task of relegation is still arduous.

Wen Sheng will not take risks. In the new season, Crystal Palace's tactics will continue to be the same as in the English Championship. However, he plans to make some attempts in the new season. For example, he can be more proactive in fighting for the ball near the midfield. Crystal Palace last season

The defensive strategy of the midfield is to interfere and delay most of the time. The core area for Kanter, Deli, and Ndiaye to intercept and steal is not near the center circle, but about 10 meters outside the penalty area.

In addition, in the new season, with Mertens on the left and De Bruyne on the right, Wen Sheng hopes to be sharper offensively. Last season, whether the winger was Darnes, Smith or Scannell, Zaha passed the ball

Both his standard and scoring ability fell short of Wen Sheng's expectations.

In the new season, Wen Sheng has high expectations for the combination of Mertens and De Bruyne. First, he hopes that their pie-making ability will be reflected, and Boateng and Vardy can have more opportunities to eat pie. Second, he hopes that

The two of them can relieve the scoring pressure on the front line, and they can step up when Vardy is ineffective.

In short, there should be more flowers on the offensive line, and don't stand out alone.

"I only have one request for the wing defenders in the new season, stability!" Wen Sheng said with a pen on the tactical board, "The Super League and the Champions League are completely different leagues. We all know that many of them are good at creating murderous opportunities on the wing.

, and we must pay more attention to wing defense."

Last season, many times the ball was played straight out from the backcourt. There were many direct connections between the full-backs and the wingers. Hills and Klein ran up and down frequently. When assists were needed, they pressed high.

Otherwise, where did Klein get so many assists?!

But facing a more difficult league in the new season, it’s better to be less courageous.

As for catching the ball in the frontcourt, Wen Sheng hopes to strengthen the communication in the midfield. Of course, things on the football field are ever-changing. Wen Sheng does not want the two full-backs to be stiff. He just knows how to

Let them focus more on defense in tactics class.

There weren't many comments from anyone. Wen Sheng started thinking about the new season after the vacation. He thought very comprehensively about many aspects. The key to execution still depends on the player's condition. If the player's condition is not good, no matter how good the arrangement is, it will be in vain.

"If you have no objections, everyone will carry out their own work according to the tactical plan! After the training plan is formulated, give it to me to take a look at! Summer training physical reserve is the key! Well, Brock, many of the team are young men, you have to consider

Think about how to improve their physical strength. They need to gain weight if they need to gain weight, but their speed and flexibility cannot be affected!"
