"Jo, where's Daniel?!"

"This kid won't regret it, will he?!"

"Did he get an invitation from Crystal Palace?!"

Thanks to Joey Collins' big mouth, almost all the players on the team knew that Daniel had submitted a job application to the Crystal Palace. They also knew that Daniel was about to come to the team as the interim coach. When Joey came to the training ground, the players were stunned.

People buzzing around Joey asked questions.

"Danny and his father went to see Mr. Smith! Don't worry, he will definitely come! It's just to lead everyone in training, Daniel will not refuse, after all, this can be regarded as our hometown team!" Joey said happily.

This group of players are all Croydon locals. They all live not far away. It is unknown whether some of them are neighbors or colleagues.

I am very familiar with Wen Sheng and know the basics. One or two of them have obtained coaching certificates. However, when it comes to coaching experience, Wen Sheng is really not focused on coaching. The club has a heavy responsibility for relegation. Neither of them has confidence in themselves.

, I don’t dare to be the head coach.

Everyone is talking about what kind of new ideas Daniel will bring to everyone, and how to prepare for the new season.

Of course, Joey didn't know. He didn't have much contact with coaching matters. He was just a spinning top in the team. When the coach whipped him, he would just spin around. When he usually interacted with Wen Sheng, he didn't know Wen Sheng's specific thoughts.

Donald Hawking is already forty years old, but he is still a member of the team and serves as the team captain. Seeing that the time is almost up, he calls on everyone to warm up quickly. After all, as a weekend team, there is little time to train, so why not take it seriously now?

hour?!

Do you all lie in bed every night and daydream?!

Before the warm-up was over, Robert Smith and Wayne Chris brought Daniel to the training ground. The players immediately stopped warming up. Everyone greeted the three of them and gathered around them.

Wen Sheng complained in his heart, "Look, this is an amateur team!"

On the surface, Croydon has a complete organizational structure, all the internal organs are present, and the management seems to be standardized. However, the core first-team training management is too casual and there is no discipline at all.

This is why many people who are interested in becoming professional coaches are not willing to go to amateur teams, because it is difficult to change.

"Okay, okay! Everyone! Everyone! I believe you all know that our search for a head coach is not going well. In order not to affect the team's pre-season preparations, we invited Daniel to come and lead everyone to train and prepare for the new season!

"Smith gestured to everyone to introduce Wen Sheng.

"Haha, as for Daniel, I don't think I need to introduce him too much, right?!" Perhaps because of his familiarity, Smith seemed very casual when introducing Wen Sheng.

After talking a few nonsense words about obeying Daniel's arrangements, Smith walked away with Wayne Collins with a bulging belly, leaving Wen Sheng and the players behind.

"Let's welcome Daniel with a round of applause!" Old captain Hawking smiled and took the lead in applauding. Others followed suit and whistled, with Joey playing the hardest.

"Okay, thank you all! I'm very happy to see you all again! I'm afraid Mr. Hawking also watched me grow up!" Wen Sheng's words caused a burst of laughter from everyone.

"To be honest, I don't have much experience. After all, this is my first time to be the head coach of a team. I hope everyone can take care of me and support me! I hope we can have a happy cooperation!" Wen Sheng did not make a long speech. Collins's words this morning were still interesting.

Echoing in his mind, he didn't know what to say yet and needed to organize his thoughts and words.

For example, how to stimulate everyone’s passion for training?!

How to arrange training?!

How do I tell everyone that I plan to cancel the weekend training mode?!

After sending everyone to continue warming up, Wen Sheng squatted next to him and took out his notebook to write and draw. In fact, he had already made the arrangements for the training sessions. Daniel's memories of training sessions and the like existed in his mind, which were also mixed with Wen Sheng's future life.

He now mainly writes some speech drafts based on some of the experiences he has learned.

At the end of the warm-up, Wen Sheng still had not finished writing, and then he suggested: "I haven't designed the training course yet, why don't we all play an internal warm-up match for fun first?"

This proposal was naturally approved by everyone. Most professional players do not like boring training sessions, but that is their job and they have to accept it.

Professional players don't like training sessions, let alone amateur players and grassroots players. It's best not to train, even though everyone knows the benefits of training sessions.

An 11 vs. 11 training match began in the training ground. Croydon had too many players. There were almost 30 players in the first team, and there were only a few left on the sidelines as substitutes.

Wen Sheng sat on the bench beside the training ground and continued to write and draw. After he had sorted out his thoughts, he focused on watching the game. As a coach, he must learn to watch the game, especially his own team.

Daniel had watched a lot of Croydon games in the past and had a preliminary understanding of these players. Wen Sheng combined Daniel's previous knowledge and looked at the scene, and suddenly he had a much more three-dimensional picture of the team's players.

As an eighth-level league, there are no lofty things like TV broadcasts. The club will not videotape the games. How much does it cost? The most intuitive understanding of the team is through the games.

of.

The level of English football is very high, and the level of amateur players is also very good. Wen Sheng also has enough knowledge through Daniel's memory and the scene at this time, but he can also see some shortcomings of Croydon.

Let’s not talk about the technical aspects of the players. No matter how strong they are, there is a limit. They cannot be compared with professional players. Especially some of the older players on the team. You can’t make them improve a lot because they are old and have poor physical function.

Can't compare with young people.

Let's talk about tactical discipline. The Croydon players warming up at the moment seem to be more organized than the domestic players, but it can still be attributed to weak tactical discipline. They bring more when they shouldn't, and don't bring when they should.

Especially unable to stand in position.

Some players say they have talent, and coaches also say they have talent.

What Wen Sheng learned from his previous life memories and what Daniel learned slowly merged. Watching the game in the stadium at this moment actually gave Wen Sheng a feeling of enlightenment. He couldn't describe this feeling, but he himself could realize that maybe he could become a coach.

It's not that difficult.

"Even as a temporary coach, I might be able to improve the team's strength a lot!" Wen Sheng seemed to have regained his confidence.

…

"How do you feel?!" Wen Sheng smiled and handed water to the players who had finished the 30-minute game.

"feel good!"

"Bunny's goal is beautiful!"

"Tom is so cruel! My chest still hurts. Damn it, this is a foul. Do you want to kill me?!"

The players were also very casual and commented on the game just now. Most of them thought it was quite enjoyable. As expected, everyone enjoyed the game.

"If you really think your performance is not bad, then haha, I want to say that the team is really finished. Our fans may not have to travel far to see your away games next season!" Wen Wen

Katsu asked everyone to be quiet and said seriously.

"You mean we're going to be downgraded?!"

"God, last season was just an accident!"

"Norwood is a stupid pig and his plan is bullshit!"

"We are not bad! Look, we can still surpass Super League this season!"

The players started chirping again, but Wen Sheng didn't like hearing about the former head coach being accused behind his back.

"Quiet! Quiet! Everyone! Let's hear what Daniel has to say first. He is the head coach now!" Captain Hawking obviously realized that everyone did not take Wen Sheng seriously and greeted him quickly.

Everyone calmed down and stared at Daniel, familiar with it. Be careful, I will sue you for slander!

"Seriously, I don't watch your games every day or two! The team was almost relegated last season, I don't understand where do you get the confidence?! Such confidence! Everyone, the league is about to begin.

, the new season is very difficult for us, don’t you know that being in the league is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat?!” Wen Sheng spread his hands and looked helpless.

"It is a good thing to have confidence, and it is also a good thing to have a sense of satisfaction, but it is not advisable to be overconfident and lower the satisfaction of one's own requirements! Let's not talk about the distance, let's talk about the Crystal Palace a few miles away. They were just an amateur team back then.

, people have made it this far, don’t you, as neighbors, want to do better?!"
