Chapter 9 Team Assemble
Chapter IX Team Assembly
Luton hired a Chinese as the head coach, and the Chinese soon brought four new aids to Luton - it seems that Luton's transfer efficiency is good, but when the media broke the resumes of these four players After the opening, the fans can only be disappointed!
Among these four players, the only one worth looking forward to is Drinkwater from Manchester United U18. This is also the only player Luton has paid to introduce. In order to get Drinkwater, Luton needs to pay Manchester United 100,000 per year. Pounds of loan fees and Drinkwater's wages.
This is a player from a club as big as Manchester United, even though he is only an 18-year-old, but the players will at least expect him - this is a Manchester United player!
Manchester United's academy brand has a good reputation in England.
The remaining three players made Luton fans a little desperate.
Charlie Austin, a player from the ninth division.
Jamie Vardy, another amateur league player.
N'Golo Kanter, a French, only 169 cm tall. God, where did Luton dug this material....
At this time, the hearts of Luton fans were already full of disappointment with the club. It's frustrating to start the season with a 30-point deduction, and what the team is doing now seems completely unambitious and even ready to fall out of the professional league system.
Yes, in the eyes of Luton fans, the current behavior of the club is that they are completely inactive. The team has stopped thinking about returning to the Championship. Instead, they hired a Chinese as a coach, and then hired Several amateur players, at most one semi-finished product on loan from Manchester United....
This kind of behavior is not just self-deprecation, but is not ready to play in the non-league system.
"Luton fans may need to prepare for the team to struggle in the amateur league for several years..." Luton's best-selling local newspaper, The Hat Seller, wrote pessimistically.
And just as the fans were worried, and the media were either mocking or sympathetic reports, the team finally began to assemble and start preparing for the new season.
Captain Kevin Keane was the first player to return to the team. In the head coach's office, he met the team's new head coach, Gao Bo.
Kevin Keane frowned at the head coach younger than himself. He didn't despise Gao Bo because he was Chinese. He was worried about the team's future simply because of the youth of the opponent.
Gao Bo looked at the strong player in front of him and quietly opened his eyes.
This is a very strong midfielder with very balanced technical attributes. He can play on the left and right sides or in the middle. Although there is nothing particularly outstanding in terms of attributes, this is a Championship after all. A player of this level, let him play football in the English Second Division!
"Kevin, I'm Gao Bo, the team's head coach." Gao Bo stretched out his hand with a smile. If he can handle training and tactics, he must have a man who can handle the locker room. The captain of the field, and make sure that the captain is on his side.
Kevin Keane has been with the team for many years, and he himself is not a grumpy thorn. Although he was a little hesitant about Gao Bo's ability, he still extended his hand in the face of Gao Bo's overture.
"We will cooperate happily!" Gao Bo said with a smile.
Maybe.... Kevin Keene was a little skeptical, but he didn't dismantle Gao Bo's stage either.
At this time, on the training ground, the players also came to the training ground one after another.
The players gather to talk about their new head coach.
Before the end of last season, the former head coach left, and the replacement of the head coach is the topic of most interest to the players.
They are still very curious about the new head coach.
Through the local newspapers in Luton, they still had a rough idea of what kind of person the new manager was.
A Chinese, he led Chelsea U18 to win the FA Youth Cup, and then came to Luton to take over this mess.
The players who stay in the team know how bad the team is, but it's not without benefits for most players here - at least after the team's main force has been sold out, the rest The position needs to be on top of the players who have been promoted from the youth academy.
Of course, that doesn't include 27-year-old forward Sam Parker.
Sam Parker has just recovered from injury and looks a lot fatter, but the striker is in a very good mood.
"Hey bro, did you know, Bristol Rovers contacted me today!! This team you know, the one in League One!!!" Sam Parker put his arm around a player's shoulder and showed off By then, his voice was so loud that everyone on the training ground could hear it clearly.
Some of the players looked envious. This striker is not worried about leaving home. Sam Parker is a player who has played in the British Championship. Many teams in the first league will be interested in him.
"Have you heard that the team's new coach is a Chinese...oh...Chinese...haha!!" Sam Parker exaggeratedly said. "Do the Chinese know what football looks like?"
Sam Parker showed no respect for the new manager, but his remarks made the other Luton players look gloomy. Indeed, the news that a Chinese has become the head coach of the team will definitely not improve the morale of the team.
At least the players have never seen the Chinese standing on the bench and directing the game.
How are the Chinese going to command the game?
If you don't obey, will you beat people up like Bruce Lee?
"Enough, Sam! If you don't want to stay in the team, you can leave at any time!" Another voice sounded on the training ground, the team's main defender George Parker.
Although both are surnamed Parker, George is a Luton academy player and wears the captain's armband when Kevin Keane is unavailable.
"Hoohoho, our big star is about to give the Chinese coach a head..." Sam Parker is not afraid of 26-year-old George Parker at all.
But this time, captain Kevin Keane walked into the training ground with several young-looking players.
Sam Parker immediately shut up. He wasn't afraid of George, but he was still mentally ill in the face of Kevin Keane. Kevin Keane was much stronger than Sam Parker in both strength and aura!
And the reason Sam Parker said the team was interested in him was actually not true.
Because he has just recovered from a serious injury last season, there is no guarantee of his state at this time, so there is nothing that Bristow is interested in him.
However, Sam Parker believes that the only forward the team can use now is himself. The team has sold so many people, and the salary budget on hand must be good, so he wants to increase himself by this method. salary.
As for Gao Bo, Sam Parker didn't care about the other side in his heart. He was just a scapegoat hired by a team to save money - at least that's what Sam Parker understood.
"Let me introduce you, this is Kante, a Frenchman, who plays defensive midfield. He is seventeen years old this year!" Kevin Keane introduced the newcomers to the players.
Kanter showed a mouth of big white teeth and smiled shyly.
A seventeen-year-old Frenchman, I really don't know where the head coach came from. Judging by his thin and frail appearance, he can really stand in those muscle jungles of the English League Two?
The players looked at Kante, who was less than 1.7 meters tall, with suspicion.
Compared with Kante, the fierce-looking Vardy is obviously not treated by such eyes, even if he does not know how good Vardy is playing football, but looking at his sturdy body and fierce face, you know that this is not easy to provoke. guy.
And most players focus on Drinkwater, the player on loan to Manchester United, if nothing else, in two or three years, Drinkwater will definitely be able to find a job in the British Championship or even the Premier League Yes, after all, this is a player who played the main U18 in Manchester United's youth academy.
The least characteristic of the four is Charlie Austin, so he is ignored by other players.
