There will be no fan meetings or press conferences.

The "ceremony" for two young men, Shen Xiao and Billy, to join the team is very simple. After signing their names on the contract, they have completed joining the team.

Robbins welcomed Shen Xiao and Billy at the mobilization meeting in the afternoon and announced the decision to take a week off.

Because Christmas in Western countries is coming soon.

The Premier League does not have a winter break, but as the third tier of the British league, the English League One can take a truce.

For the team, Christmas means annual leave, and it also means the start of the winter transfer period for major European leagues, which does not end until the end of the next month.

Each team will reduce and replenish personnel at this stage, which is also halfway through the league and cup seasons.

At this time, it would be too vivid to describe the transfer situation of each team with a strong camp and smooth soldiers.

Therefore, Coventry can complete the personnel transfer work during this break period, and the newly joined Shen Xiao and Billy can also register and join the team in time.

The tactical analysis room where the team gathers is a multi-functional room with a large whiteboard and props for tactical analysis, as well as a projector for playing team videos.

But the place is not big, so it seems a bit crowded with many players sitting together.

Shen Xiao sat on the chair and looked back and forth. He felt that compared to the number of people competing in the morning, there were still a few fewer people.

At least at this moment, the team's main midfielder Jamie is not here.

"Everyone, the team's Kirk and Wilson may temporarily leave us in the second half of the season, and Jamie Allen made a transfer request, and we agreed..."

Robbins stood next to the big whiteboard and said to the group of players in front of him.

After hearing the head coach say that three players left at the same time today, many people sitting on the chairs began to whisper to each other.

"Okay, now there are 21 people in the team, which can fully meet the requirements for the next game!"

"Of course, the winter transfer period lasts for one month, so we can make adjustments to the lineup at any time in subsequent games."

"I will now write down the newly determined main eleven on the whiteboard!"

Robbins continued to address the players.

After saying that, he turned around, took the pen, and began to write eleven names and corresponding positions on the whiteboard.

Forwards: Gordon, Beamon

Midfielder: Jones, O'Hare, Joe Bello, Kelly

Defenders: Ross, Mason, Dabo, Mike

Goalkeeper: Maurosi

After Robins finished writing, he said to everyone: "The eleven people above will start in the next league game."

All the players had no objection to the head coach's arrangement.

Because the people on this list are also recognized by everyone as the best players in various positions on the team.

The remaining players whose names are not written on the whiteboard are naturally substitutes.

Of course, Shen Xiao and Billy, who have just joined the team, are also on the ten-man list of substitutes.

Shen Xiao was not upset at not being able to enter the main roster.

Because this thing is completely reasonable.

It is impossible for a head coach to let a new player who has just joined the team immediately become the team's main force.

Moreover, Shen Xiao only performed well in an intra-team match.

Generally speaking, for players with genius attributes like Shen Xiao, the head coaches of many teams will ask them to hone their skills.

Either he is allowed to play in unimportant games, or he is called in at a critical moment when the main rotation is really needed.

In the following time, Robbins explained his tactical ideas to all the players.

An hour later, Robbins announced the team's Christmas break.

All players must return to the club for training in a week to prepare for the next round of the league's opponent, Sunderland, currently ranked seventh.

After the players dispersed, Shen Xiao immediately walked towards the lounge where he and Wu Yuandong were.

Shen Xiao is now a professional player, and he already has an annual salary after just signing the contract.

Although it is only 80,000 euros, Shen Xiao is already very satisfied.

There will be about a week of rest time next, and Shen Xiao wants to take Wu Yuandong to have fun in the UK.

After all, the two of them had a very difficult time in the previous period in order to prepare for the club's trial test.

When Shen Xiao opened the door to the lounge, Wu Yuandong was pulling a suitcase and looking at him with a smile.

"Uncle Dong, what are you preparing to do?" Shen Xiao asked eagerly.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm getting ready to go back to China. My flight is tonight..." Wu Yuandong replied, still smiling.

Shen Xiao hurried over and put Wu Yuandong's suitcase aside, and then said to him: "Uncle Dong, we will be in England from now on, won't we go back?"

"I have to go back, I must go back... I have asked for leave from school for too long. Don't forget that I am a physical education teacher!" Wu Yuandong said seriously.

"Uncle Dong, you are my agent. What will I do if you leave?"

"I have a salary now, Uncle Dong. From now on... I will support you!"

Seeing Wu Yuandong's determined look, Shen Xiao said to Wu Yuandong in a panic.

"You brat, who needs your support?"

"I also thought about it at the beginning. If you fail the trial training, I will take you back. It's up to you whether you want to go to work or study..."

"If you succeed in the trial training, then I will go back immediately. Because no matter what your future achievements are, at least you can support yourself."

"From now on, you will be your own agent. How you want to develop depends entirely on your own wishes!"

"You are very talented and your performance today was great, so this is one of the reasons why I am completely relieved to return to China!"

Wu Yuandong explained patiently after looking at Shen Xiao with a sad face.

"But Uncle Dong, I really can't bear to have you go back!" Shen Xiao had tears in his eyes.

"Silly boy, do you still remember what you said to me last night? Your words are another reason why I want to return to China as soon as possible!"

Wu Yuandong looked at Shen Xiao and said lovingly to him.

Shen Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, I remember! You want to go back to find an aunt as soon as possible for me, right?"

"..."

"What are you thinking, kid? Do you remember the promise you made to Uncle Dong that you would become the most powerful player in the world in the future?"

Wu Yuandong looked at Shen Xiao helplessly, and then feigned anger.

"Of course you remember! This is not only a promise made last night, but also a promise to you in the future!" Shen Xiao replied solemnly.

"good!"

"You are now a professional player and have taken the first step towards your dream!"

"Then, after I return to China, I will take the coaching certificate immediately!"

"When the time comes, our national teams will join together!"

Wu Yuandong said excitedly, and then gave Shen Xiao a high-five.

"By the way, if you kid gets kicked out and becomes famous in the future, remember to get back here as soon as possible!"

"Because you will always be a Chinese player!"

Wu Yuandong said solemnly to Shen Xiao.

"As you command!"
Chapter completed!
