Chapter 7 Entering the Working State

Chapter 7 Entering the working state

Gao Bo is a workaholic.

The lights in his office didn't go out until four o'clock in the morning, and when John walked into the office at eight in the morning, Gao Bo was already finishing his clothes and preparing to call his assistants for a meeting.

"You should pay attention to rest, Gao!" John Aston learned from the stadium security that Gao Bo spent the night in the team's office building last night, and he looked at his young boss with some concern.

Gao Bo did not feel sleepy at all. He had a special ability since he was a child. When he focused on something, he only needed two or three hours of sleep.

High waves can easily enter a deep sleep, allowing the tired brain to quickly recover energy.

Many football coaches have this ability, such as Rijkaard, the famous head coach is also a famous workaholic, he only needs more than two hours of sleep a day to maintain strong energy.

In fact, it is not just football coaches, many celebrities who have achieved great achievements often have this characteristic.

God is unfair and some people are destined to be gifted.

"Let's not talk about this, John, this is some of the things I summarized last night, you can take a look first, we will have a meeting with the coaching staff later!"

Gao Bo handed John a stack of paper full of words.

John Aston took it and turned it over quickly.

"This is your plan for next season!?" John raised his head in surprise.

"Yes, we have a transfer budget of 200,000 yuan, which must be used well. I made changes to the previous training plan, and the future training will follow the current training plan!" Gao Bo put himself on the desk. The calendar turned around.

"Today is May 26th. There are still two months before the new season starts. The team will gather on June 20th. Before that, we must first get a few things done."

Just then, fitness coach Mel Donald burst in.

"Gao, you are now a celebrity in Luton!!"

Donald has some newspapers in his hands.

Gao Bo brought the newspaper, which was full of news about Luton's new manager.

Gao Bo took over as the head coach of Luton. It was very low-key, and the club did not hold any press conferences. However, for the local media in Luton, Luton invited a Chinese to be the head coach, which still caused controversy locally. Little sensational.

Luton is in bad shape now, and naturally there is nothing good in reporting.

Some newspapers and media simply said that Gao Bo became the head coach of Luton through nepotism - Gao Bo now knows that he and his boss David Morton are alumni, and David Morton also studied at the University of London.

Gao Bo looked at the media reports and lost interest.

Luton is not a big club, and other than the local media in Luton who are interested in covering Luton, the media in other places rarely go back to focus on a team in the second division.

So now Luton doesn't have to think about media pressure at all.

"Donald, you came just in time, let's have a meeting together!" Gao Bo left the newspaper thing behind and started to work.

Gao Bo looked at his two assistants, assistant coach and reserve coach John Aston, and fitness coach and team doctor Mel Donald. Including himself, this is the only three members of the first team.

The top priority of course is to expand your coaching team!

In terms of training, he and John Aston are in charge, and Mel Donald is also very experienced in the position of physical fitness coach. Now he still lacks a goalkeeper coach and a team of doctors in his coaching staff!

"I do know someone who is a goalkeeper coach and he used to work as a goalkeeper coach at Nottingham Forest.

"Gao Bo is an outsider compared to English football, and his connections are definitely not as good as John's.

"Then let him come over, John, I believe your recommendation." Goalkeeper coaching is a relatively professional position, and it is difficult for Gao Bo to put too high requirements on this position - after all, Luton is only a second-tier company. Just the team.

The team of doctors made John and others a little embarrassed.

Not to mention the teams in the second league, even some teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League do not pay too much attention to team doctors now.

However, Gao Bo attaches great importance to the position of team doctor. He plans to set up a special medical department. Injuries are the most headache for a team, but in fact, many players' injuries are caused by minor injuries. If these hidden dangers can be eliminated in the bud, it will be a good thing for athletes to maintain their state for a long time.

However, finding a team doctor who met Gao Bo's requirements made John and others powerless.

Gao Bo thought about it.

"I have a choice for the team doctor!"

Gao Bo thought of Chelsea's Japanese team doctor Haruko, wondering if there was a chance to dig over. Haruko has a Masters in Sports Medicine from the University of London and is definitely qualified for the role of Luton's team doctor.

"The team doctor will let it go first, then the signings!" Gao Bo said.

Both John and Donald were refreshed. Compared to expanding the coaching staff, these two veterans were more interested in what kind of players Gao Bo was going to bring in.

"Drinkwater?!" John Aston looked at the unfamiliar name hard.

"Yes, he is a member of Manchester United U18 now. If we want to introduce him, the price of 200,000 pounds is not known to Manchester United." Gao Bo recalled that he led Chelsea U18 and Manchester United in the FA Youth Cup final. A match between the U18s.

The most eye-catching of Manchester United U18 is undoubtedly Welbeck. This young England striker was called by Ferguson as "part of Manchester United's new season plan" as early as last year. In addition, Manchester United U18 also has a young man. The player is called Cleverley!

And Drinkwater is just a member of the United U18 who looks very ordinary now, but in the future, Drinkwater is the most eye-catching leader of this Manchester United U18.

Because in the 2015-2016 season, Drinkwater, as the main midfielder of Leicester City, created a magical story of a grassroots team with Leicester City, and they won the Premier League championship that season!

Ranieri's Leicester City, that's an amazing team. For Gao Bo, this team is really a treasure...because as far as Gao Bo knows, many players of this team are still hanging out in the lower leagues.

Gao Bo suddenly smiled.

If he digs this treasure now, who will Ranieri use to create miracles...

At this moment, Gao Bo's mind is full of mischief...

John knew that Gao Bo had coaching experience at Chelsea U18s, so he was not surprised that Gao Bo would like a certain U18 player.

"Drinkwater is not a star player at Manchester United U18s, but I don't think Manchester United will easily sell a young man," John said.

Gao Bo nodded, he understood this very well.

"First try to see if you can buy it out! If it doesn't work, try renting it."

For teams in the lower leagues in England, the best way to save costs when renting players that are temporarily unavailable to Premier League teams, of course, those first team stars are impossible to loan to the second league, only Some 18- and 19-year-old young players will be loaned to lower leagues.

The three discussed in the office for a morning. In addition to the introduction of players, there were also the team's training plan, tactical arrangements for the new season, and so on.

Gao Bo needs to clearly communicate his tactical thinking with his assistants. After all, he cannot do all the work alone.
