Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 172

January 1997, 1, London Colney training base.

Today, the Arsenal training base is rippling in Chinese. Yun Jia Tianyu from China occupies this field, which has attracted a large number of Arsenal fans to watch.

"Coach Wenger is already leading this team? Their level is good. Although they are not as good as ours, they are still very good!" A fan watched Yunjiatianyu's training with wide eyes, and said in his mouth explain.

"Remember what FIFA announced last time? The birthplace of modern football is Great Britain, but the sport of football first appeared in China! It is said that it has a history of thousands of years! But they don't call it football. , seems to be called 'JIOU JU'."

"Oh..." The other fans nodded together: "But their level is definitely not as good as ours! Just last year, Visburnes led the national team to a [-]-[-] victory over the Chinese national team! I also Look, the level of their national team doesn’t seem to be as high as this team.”

"What do you know! This team was brought out by our coach Wenger, of course the level is high!"

……

"Well, the British fans are very enthusiastic, even our foreign team is watching!" Ailin secretly said to Nie Fei during the training.

"Maybe it's because of curiosity, just like you, when you walk on the street and see people forming a circle, you have to go up to watch the excitement..." Nie Fei said without raising his head.

"Damn! You bastard!" Ayrin was about to refute, but Yourcenar, who was in charge of the training, yelled at them, "Ai! Nie! What are you doing? Chatting? Let's chat while running around!"

Ai Lin and Nie Fei stuck out their tongues. If you want to say who the players of Yunjiatianyu are most afraid of now, it is Yourcenar. This physical trainer usually looks like a harmless person with a smile, but as long as If you commit a crime in his hands, you will definitely let you live or die - he can immediately order a cruel training for you according to your physical condition and current physical condition, but he will definitely punish you completely before you collapse. Single out, of course, the premise is that you work hard to complete it.

The most important thing is that Pei Wei will always stand on Yourcenar's side at this time. Although every player who is punished can get some benefits in physical fitness, the feeling of darkness and despair is enough to make everyone not want to come again the second time.

**************************************
"How is it? After watching our players train for two days, how do you feel?"

In a building next to the training base, in an office specially arranged for Pei Wei by the Arsenal Club, Pei Wei smiled and asked a middle-aged man with an old-fashioned face sitting in front of him.

This unremarkable middle-aged man is of course the Spaniard Rafael Benitez: "You have some very good players. Some of them are already capable of playing the main force in the Spanish mid-range team... I am surprised."

Pei Wei puffed out a puff of smoke: "Someone has already told me this, but he was talking about the mid-range teams of the five major leagues."

"Who?" Benitez asked a little surprised.

"Wenger." Pei Wei put out the cigarette butt: "Okay, let's stop talking nonsense, I know you need a job now, and I need a coach who can lead the team to win the championship... We lost once last year The championship, I don't want to lose this year. If you have no objections, then we can start the contract negotiation."

"Okay." Benitez nodded, he also seems to be a very straightforward person: "I ask for an annual salary of at least 20 US dollars, a three-year contract, and at the same time I have absolute power over the deployment of troops. , No one can raise objections to my formation, if I do not do well, you can fire me without paying compensation.”

"You're very confident." Pei Wei smiled: "No problem, an annual salary of 20 US dollars, a three-year contract, and at the same time you have the greatest decision-making power in terms of tactics... If your requirements are these, I will immediately arrange people to prepare the contract."

"One more thing, I need a translator, a translator who is proficient in Spanish and understands football terms." Benitez made another request: "I don't want to waste time explaining to the translator what I mean."

"No problem." Pei Wei agreed, and then showed a weird smile: "In the new season, I will be your translator... Happy cooperation."

"..."

Looking at the speechless Benitez, Pei Wei laughed: "Is there any problem with my communication with you during this time? I have learned Spanish for more than a year... My translation should be okay. Are you qualified?"

Pei Wei announced the news that Benitez became the new head coach that night. Ding Yu had already prepared for this. Pei Wei had already talked to him in advance and told him that he would be a reserve team next season. The head coach, the salary remains the same.

On the contrary, the players are skeptical. After being trained by Wenger for so long, their appetites have also grown, and the requirements for the coach are very high.

Pei Wei is not worried about this. He knows the strength of Benitez. Maybe he is not the Benitez who will lead Valencia to two La Liga titles and Liverpool to the European Champions Cup in the future, but All he lacks now is a little experience.

Any new coach will encounter such troubles, how to solve such troubles quickly is the best proof of a coach's strength.

******************************************
After a week of training, Yunjiatianyu's players began to gradually find their game status. International players like Hao Dong and Sun Chenghai who had just finished the Asian Cup are also slowly recovering, and the curiosity of Arsenal fans is also slowly Slowly disappearing, there have been few fans watching in the past two days.

During this period of time, although Benitez has officially become the head coach of Yunjiatianyu, he has not made a sound during the training for the past few days, just quietly observing the players' training.

Soon, the practice match with the second team of Arsenal came. Benitez did not direct the game, but still let Ding Yu direct the game.

Ding Yu sent Yunjiatianyu's strongest lineup, goalkeeper Xiaofei, defenders Sun Chenghai, Wu Jiang, Materac and Zhu Guosheng, midfielders Dunga, Ballack, Nie Fei, forwards Recoba, Tony and Hao Dong.

Although Arsenal is a mixture of second-tier players and substitute players, their strength is not bad. Pei Wei saw the first-team main player Parlor and England internationals Ian Wright and Pratt in Arsenal's lineup. , they have just recovered from their injuries and have not played in the latest league game. Coupled with Dixon among the five veterans in the defense, it seems that Arsenal still attaches great importance to this training game. There should be a reason for Wenger.

What excited Pei Wei was to see the future England main left-back Ashley Cole in Arsenal's lineup. Now he is still a member of Arsenal's second-tier team, but he has already begun to be valued by Wenger. , it is estimated that even if Pei Wei wanted to move his mind, he would not be able to move.

Pei Wei pulled Sun Chenghai past him, pointed at Ashley Cole and said, "See that little guy? That guy's not bad...he's a very good full-back. Your position in the game is exactly the same as his. Right on, pay attention."

Knowing that Pei Wei would not say this for no reason, Sun Chenghai nodded, and then stared at Ashley Cole.

The match was very intense. Although it was an ordinary training match, Arsenal's second-tier players and substitute players were desperately performing because of the coach Arsene Wenger watching from the sidelines.Although Wright and the others don't need to worry about their position in the first team, they have to prove to the coach that they are fully recovered after returning from injury, so for Yun Jiatianyu, the game was not easy at all.

Wright scored two goals in the game. The speed and technique shown by the famous England player made Zhu Guosheng burnt out. If it wasn't for Materac to fight the fire, maybe Wright would have a hat-trick.

Yunjiatianyu is not at a disadvantage in the confrontation in the midfield, the midfielder is the strongest part of Yunjiatianyu, Ballack has been growing, Deng Jia is old and strong, plus Nie Fei with excellent skills, they There are a lot of shells sent to the forward line.

Just like Yunjiatianyu's defenders couldn't keep an eye on Wright, it was also difficult for Arsenal's second team defenders to keep an eye on Hao Dong, who has excellent speed and excellent shooting skills. In such an environment, Hao Dong is like a fish in water.

On the other hand, Sun Chenghai listened to Pei Wei's words. In the game, he fought against Ashley Cole. Ashley Cole had better speed and physical fitness, but he was still inexperienced. It was a tie.

The score was four to three in the end, and Arsenal narrowly won by one goal. Although they lost the game, it is clear that Yunjiatianyu, who has not yet reached his peak state, can play at such a level that the British are amazed.

"The boys are improving!" Wenger said to Pei Wei with a smile after the game, "They have grown a lot in the six months since I left... Now I want to poach some people in Yunjiatianyu."

"Poaching is a good thing! Who are you looking for? Is it Sun Chenghai? Dixon is indeed quite old, you need to prepare new strength." Pei Wei shrugged.

"Don't you mind? I hope I poach your corners so much?" Wenger said with surprise on his face.

"I can't do it now... at least let me use him for a few years... and the problem of labor certification is not easy to solve? In addition, I also know that his current level is not enough to gain a foothold in a team like Arsenal, etc. In a few years, if you don’t want me, I will force him into the European League!”
