King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 107 Don't Give Up, Esaias
Chapter 1 Don't give up, Esaias!

There are still four days until the match, Wei Xun left the affairs at hand to Marotta and Zhao Tai, and he had to go to the first team to have a look.

Hope Harvey Ezaias can do well in the first team confrontation training.

The Notts County office building is not far from the training center, and Wei Xun soon arrived outside the fence of the training ground.

Regarding Ersaias, Wei Xun admitted that he was very much looking forward to his performance.Every goblin in Notts County was brought back by Wei Xun himself, and the current performance is also very good. Although Esaias is not a goblin, Wei Xun doesn't want him to relapse.

No one would believe that a fat man who has retired can gain a foothold in the Notts County first team, but Wei Xun not only believed it, but also tried his best to get him into the first team...

When Wei Xun, the chairman of the Notts County Club, appeared on the training ground, the old Mertesacker was the first to notice him. This is not the first time that Wei Xun has made such a sudden visit.

Following the eyes of the old Mertesacker and Eric Tynhag, Guardiola also saw Wei Xun walking towards him, but he was working hard to take notes and had no time to be distracted.

"Wei, why do you have time to come to watch the first team training? Don't you have to accompany Huang to the hospital for a pregnancy checkup today?" Old Mertesacker didn't understand Wei Xun's sudden appearance, but he got up and went to meet Wei Xun.

"It has been checked, and I will get the report in a few days. I just want to see if the central defender we introduced is suitable. If not, I still have time to operate it and try other goals."

Wei Xun was also polite, and came directly to Guardiola's side, and the roaring emperor Tynhag quickly gave up a seat for Wei Xun.

"Josep, how is it? Are you satisfied with the signings during the winter transfer period?"

Even with his eyes closed, Guardiola knew that Wei Xun must have come to the training ground for the sake of Esaias. The last time this guy came to the training ground was when he stayed up all night to adjust his tactics. Smiling and shaking his head:

"There is no problem for Abelardo to integrate into the team. His physical fitness and condition are good. I have sent Essayas to the reserve team. Now he is under the control of Stefan. You want to ask I have to trouble him for all the problems..."

"Damn it, what's the situation!"

Hearing Guardiola's words, Wei Xun looked up at the calm old Mertesacker in surprise:
"Stefan, he's only been here for the second day, how did he get transferred to you? Why?"

The old Mertesacker shrugged: "Small things, I didn't tell you. According to the usual practice, this guy needs to undergo a physical test, a test with the ball without confrontation, a test with the ball with confrontation, and a match. If you fail one of the tests, you need to be sent to the training center to find Coach Bila to receive his special training task."

Wei Xun nodded.

He understands what the old Mertesacker said just now, and he understands it very well. Although he knows the inspirational experience of the later generations of Esaias, Notts County is a place that speaks on strength. You don’t have two brushes. Doomed to fail these Notts County tests.

Every item in the test was discussed by Billa and Krautchen, and it examines your competence in the position; Ezaias only needs to have a passing performance in the necessary abilities of a central defender. You can be shortlisted.

"Then what about his test results? Not good? Not so..."

When it comes to not being able to, Wei Xun himself lacks confidence, and his voice becomes weaker unnaturally.

"There's no need to think about it. Of course it's not good. If it's good, you don't have to send it to me to train with a bunch of kids."

The old Mertesacker shrugged awkwardly, apparently speechless.

"But it's not good to send him directly to the reserve team, Stefan... At least you let him train with the first team?"

"The idea is good, but I really can't implement it..."

"why?"

"Because he can't even pass the most basic physical fitness test..., Javier said, this guy's physical fitness is too poor, he can't even manage the intensity of the second-level game for 10 minutes, and he starts to support after a few laps." He was panting heavily on his knees. But to be honest, his basic skills are very solid, and his body is also very strong. My son and Giorgio can't handle him together..."

"Oh, that's natural. He has a giant physique. He is 1.9 meters six and weighs two hundred catties. That's not a joke. I think he can lift me up with one hand! By the way, Stefan, Aye What did Sayas do after the test yesterday?"

"Of course I'm going to practice physical fitness." Old Mertesacker's voice was a little helpless. Isn't the principle of the wooden barrel very simple? Physical fitness is his biggest problem, what else can he do without running laps.

"Exercising physical fitness, controlling diet, and losing weight by the way, Javier Marlowe has basically become his full-time fitness coach now, you have to add money and chicken legs to Javier!"

Wei Xun nodded, Javier Marlowe is filling in a hole for himself, and it is right to add some money, such a good employee who shares the boss's worries, promotion and salary increase are not a problem.

"Stefan, I understand what you said, please take more care, believe me, he really has the ability to play the main force in our first team."

"I understand, I understand, Wei, I believe in your vision from the beginning to the end, but we can't be in a hurry, we have to take it step by step. I think he played well in this game."

The duo set their sights on the pitch, with the reserve players looking positive, hoping to impress Pep Guardiola and Wei Xun, get the same chance as George Grant and Anthony Aiert, and make the Premier League debut. The field of B soared into the sky.

The scoreboard on the sidelines shows the score of the training match so far. The first team leads the Notts County reserve team 3-1. The goal of the reserve team was scored by Ezaias.

The defenders of the first team couldn't handle him in the penalty area, and he easily scored a header.

Esaias is the tallest player on the training ground, so Wei Xun found Harvey Esaias easily on the field.

Tall and strong, he is simply the king in the penalty area. No one can confront him head-on. He is stronger than Crouch of the England national team in the future. He is only tall and thin, and he can't fight against him. If Ezaias' physical fitness improves Yes, it is definitely a BUG player, Wei Xun, who was a little bit sad just now, can't help but look forward to it again.

"Stefan, how long do you think Esaias will be able to play?"

"This is also a matter of great concern to me." The old Mertesacker adjusted his sitting posture and opened his notebook.

Now the coaches in Notts County almost have a notebook, and when they run out, they go directly to the material management office to get it. Wei Xun glanced at the old Mertesacker's notebook, and the latest page records some of the situation of Essayas.

"Eh... to play in the League Two, I think it will take two months..."

"Oh?"

"His technique is very good, not to mention his physical fitness, but you have to know that physical fitness is the key to the game. To be honest, the young players who came to us for trial training, you said that none of the test items passed. , there is no one else but him, if this person was not brought by you, I think Billa would have kicked him out a long time ago..."

Old Mertesacker's comments made Wei Xun tongue-tied, but what he said made sense, and Wei Xun understood everything.

The Chinese Super League players of later generations and most of my country's international footballers, those who can stop the ball and score for adults, this basic little skill is not as good as some football fans who play wild football all the year round, and they are really not ashamed.

Everyone always says "Don't use your hobbies to compete with other people's careers", but in Wei Xun's view, there are many talented children in the Chinese field who have not embarked on the professional path. It is not inferior to professional players, but it is much inferior in systematic training and physical reserves.Without physical support, many technical movements will be deformed under fierce confrontation.

We can often see Chinese Super League players crossing directly out of bounds or rushing to the stands. In fact, there are two very important reasons. One is that the physical reserve is not enough, and the other is that the basic skills are too poor. Mistakes, but that is not the main influencing factor.

If you take mistakes as a routine, then you are also a weirdo.

"How long has he been playing?"

"About five or six minutes."

"That's okay, isn't this more than the 10 minutes that Javier said?"

Guardiola, who was frantically taking notes at the side, heard Wei Xun's words, smiled, and shook his head again and again: "This is a training match, not a real match. The intensity is not that great, and they are all on their own. Except for one ball, and six fouls and four turnovers, two of which were fatal, and he was too big for Frank to eat him raw with speed alone...”

Wei Xun was very embarrassed, he could only turn his eyes to the court again, looking at Harvey Esaias who worked hard but did not perform well, Wei Xun couldn't help frowning.

Don't give up, Esaias!

The trial training of players is really cruel. Esaias undoubtedly loves football, and his successful comeback after three years of retirement is an ironclad proof.He may still be accumulating strength, but he drew a big pie for him in advance, and advanced all of this.

You gave someone a beautiful dream, and now you tell him, "Wake up, man, you are not suitable for professional football, you should go back and be your clown?"

These words are so fucking crazy, Wei Xun felt that he couldn't say them at all.

He's not a sympathetic badass.

From stepping into the youth training camp to becoming a player and star in the end, a player does not rely on the media tout it, it depends on the player's own hard work day and night.

Talent, Erzaias already has it, all he needs is hard work and self-discipline, come on, man.

The old Mertesacker found that Wei Xun suddenly stopped talking, and just frowned and stared at the training ground in a daze.He didn't know what Wei Xun was thinking at the moment, and he was too embarrassed to disturb him, so he could only watch Wei Xun, who was worried, slowly move away from his sight.
