After more than half a month of training, Southampton's new players began to gradually gain recognition from others.
Klein has the best performance among the newcomers. Although he is young, he can run very well, can get up and down, has good foot skills and confrontation ability, is fast, and has excellent physical fitness, just like a sports car.
, can go up and down continuously.
It is rare to have a full-back with this kind of talent. Southampton has never had this kind of full-back in the Premier League before. The only one who is somewhat close to him is the little tiger Walcott, but Walcott is faster.
, but in terms of pressing and defense, he is far inferior to Klein.
Like many top offensive full-backs, Klein is also a forward, so his foot skills and forward awareness are good, but his shooting skills are not very good, and he is better at passing the ball to his teammates.
Navas is one of only three international players in the team - the remaining two are Dembele and Mkhitaryan - as a Costa Rica international player, although he is only 1.85 meters tall, he can't stand up to high-flying players.
The tactics were a little uncomfortable, but soon, after training, he showed his advantages.
Although Navas is only 1.85 meters tall, his wingspan is long enough. Compared with the 1.9-meter goalkeeper, he actually doesn't suffer much. At the same time, he moves with flexible steps, quick reactions, and excellent jumping ability.
Whether it's a ground save or a high-altitude ball, he can show his level.
"Boss, it doesn't matter to me whether I'm a substitute or not. After all, I'm about to turn thirty-four, but I need to pass the competition." Davis specifically found Ji Ya and said to him.
"Of course, Kelvin, you have always been an important part of the club... I have never doubted your ability. For the goalkeeper position, it is necessary to reserve two excellent goalkeepers." Ji Ya replied with a smile.
Davis nodded. In fact, he also knew that Navas was ten years younger than him and had also played as the main force in North America for a season. He had good experience and sufficient talent. It would be a matter of time to replace him sooner or later. With him like this
I mean, it's also to appear more fair.
Of course, the main force obtained through competition for employment is more cherished.
So in the following training, Davis also trained very seriously. Thirty-four years old is not very old for a goalkeeper. Once rejuvenated, Davis' ability is also very outstanding - after all, one year
He was still able to receive trial training requests from Premier League teams before.
Moussa Dembele does not seem to be too eye-catching on the training ground, but in physical training, he has shown his outstanding abilities. His running, interception, and ball delivery are all impeccable, which is impressive.
I have to admire him, this is a guy who has played in the Champions League.
The fact that Southampton can buy such a player also proves how outstanding Southampton is now...
Instead of looking at Southampton’s future, why doesn’t Dembélé go to a Premier League team? Even if he can’t go to a wealthy club, it’s not difficult to go to an ordinary Premier League team!
Drinkwater seemed more heartless. He was optimistic and kept joking with others as soon as he arrived at Southampton's training ground. Others also liked this optimistic and cheerful young man, and he was on the court.
That excellent forward ability also makes other players feel quite good.
As a player born in Manchester United, Drinkwater does not have much arrogance. After all, he is twenty years old and has not played for Manchester United yet. Instead, he is constantly being loaned out. Under such circumstances, he can still have arrogance.
Just go to hell.
The arrival of these two people made Schneiderlin feel a lot of pressure. Jiya went to chat with him specifically, emphasizing that this was not to replace his position, but to strengthen the team's midfield and Southampton's future.
It's the Premier League, so you will definitely face competition from many top players. It's useless to be afraid of competition. Only by decisively participating in competition can you become even better.
Schneiderlin, who played football abroad at a young age, is quite aware of this truth.
Austin has nothing to say. He can do what Lambert can do. Lambert knows that he has an extra substitute, but he doesn't care. With his condition, the substitute is just in case.
Noriya also greeted him and Giroud in advance. Every game in the new season is important. Multiple substitutes are to enable them to better focus on their performance in important games.
Dixon showed his ability to move forward on the training ground. As a left-back who performed well in the English League last season, he is also very satisfied to be able to play in the English Championship in the new season. Moreover, there are basically no people in this position.
After competing with him, Mills barely played the main role last season. This season in the English Championship, the possibility of him playing the main role is too small. At most, he will play in the cup.
Jenkinson is the first substitute for the right wing and center back. Although this defender is young, his level is not low. His height, running ability, and confrontation ability are quite good. Moreover, he is still young, only eighteen years old, much more
Training with high-level players and playing occasionally can also give Klein and the two central defenders a breather.
For the newly joined players, Southampton's old players also quickly accepted them, and through training, they can be aware of their status in the new season - the two full-backs will definitely be the main players, Navas
It will have an impact on the position of the old captain Davis, and Dembele can occupy the main midfielder. The other midfielder position is competed by Schneiderlin and Drinkwater, while Lieutenant and Walton will probably only
They can be substitutes, but they are not young, so it is normal for them to be substitutes.
Austin is a rotation player on the forward line.
Everyone's position is very clear.
"Now there is a problem... Perry has retired. The possibility of Walton playing the main force in the new season is too low. Plus Davis... I think he will soon be competed by Navas. I need someone
The third captain, so that he can wear the captain's armband when Davis is not playing." Noriya said to Benelli.
"This is not easy to handle. Basically none of our veteran players can play in the main lineup... Apart from the old guys, the most senior ones are Schneiderlin and Lallana." Benali thought for a while.
explain.
"None of them are good... It's not that they are too young. Things like captain have nothing to do with age, but only have to do with prestige, character and ability." Ji Ya shook his head.
Benelli nodded in agreement. Schneiderlin and Lallana are indeed qualified. Schneiderlin has been transferred to Southampton for three years, while Lallana has been in the first team for four years.
Except for veterans like Davis and Walton, no one has been with Southampton longer than them.
However, Schneiderlin is shy and reticent, while Lallana is more out-of-the-box. Their personalities are indeed not suitable for being captains.
"I think you already have the candidate for the third captain in mind, right?" Benali said.
