King's Landing Nottingham

Chapter 32
Chapter 32 Tapping Your Own Potential

The absolute draw before the end allowed Notts County to avoid the embarrassment of falling into the relegation zone.But only one point in 10 minutes of bloody battle nine is not enough to help Notts County move towards the promotion zone.

For Notts County, who are waiting to make up, one point is not enough to quench their thirst. After 3 league rounds, Notts County has one win, one draw and one loss with only 4 points, ranking No.16 in the League Two.

In the next round of the league, Notts County will go away to challenge the eighth-ranked Brighton team in the League Two. Playing 4 games in 2 days and the suspension of the main central defender are all problems that need to be solved by Guardiola.

After the game, Wei Xun and Guardiola communicated again in the "magpie pool".The traditional back rubbing "punishment" is still going on, but Barzali was "tortured" by everyone today.Wei Xun also rubbed Guardiola's back, and asked if Guardiola still needs to buy people to supplement the lineup.

Guardiola drank the watermelon juice sent by Wei Xun and lay comfortably on the chair thinking about the problem.

He believes it will be difficult to buy the player he wants with just one week left before the transfer deadline.Even if the weather is good and a few players are bought, they cannot be well integrated into the team's tactical system without a period of running-in.

Therefore, Guardiola hopes that Wei Xun can replace him to watch the match between the U23 reserve team and the U18 youth team when the Notts County first team goes to an away game, and find some potential and "emergency" little guys .

After all, as the game progresses, situations such as the suspension of Barzagli and the injury of Robben Iniesta will definitely follow. No one wants this, so it is necessary to plan ahead.

Hearing Guardiola's compliments of "No. [-] scout" one after another, Wei Xun also drifted away. Good guy, if you can really do this as a scout in your life, you can be regarded as successful. What kind of team owner is he? .

Wei Xun gladly took the order, and after obtaining the permission of coach Krautchen and Notts County youth training chief designer Billa, Wei Xun started his tour of the Notts County youth training camp.

The first team's record is not good, but Notts County's U23 and U18 teams have good results in the game. They have made great progress in their respective leagues.

Wei Xun quietly hid in the crowd of the data analysis center team and the youth training center team. Old Mertesacker, Javier and others didn't notice Wei Xun's arrival. They just suddenly discovered that the combat effectiveness of the players on the court It seemed to be strengthened at a certain moment, and I thought that my lecture had an effect, so I was so happy.

It wasn't until the time to replace the injured player that Mertesacker and Javier learned that the team's owner Wei Xun had been sitting in the stands of the stadium, watching them silently for more than 20 minutes...

"Wei, what brought you here? Isn't it time for the first team to go to Brighton for an away game?" Old Mertesacker found Wei Xun in casual clothes in the crowd.

The data analyst next to Wei Xun consciously gave up a seat for his old German predecessor, and the old Mertesacker just naturally sat beside Wei Xun.

"Stefan, thank you for your hard work. Josep asked me to see if there are any outstanding players in the youth team. As you know, Barzagli was sent off in the last round. According to the usual practice, there should be additional timeouts." In addition, Robben and Iniesta have not fully recovered from their injuries and will not be able to play for the time being. For me, it is obviously more important to find a little reserve for the first team than the away game.”

"Wow, Wei, then you came at a really good time. Now the players in our youth training camp are all left after several rounds of selection on the basis of the previous ones. We think these guys have at least the qualifications to play in the National League." The level of the game, I dare not say in the future, but this year the first team is short of a few young players who can play in the rotation. We think we can supply them here. There are only 11 players on the field. You can choose boldly..."

No way, although the previous Notts County youth training has produced good young players such as Pennant, it is still at a lower level overall, so the abilities of the players in the previous training camp are mixed.

After the arrival of Billa and Krautsen, several screenings were carried out in the youth team and training camp. Many young players who were eliminated chose to do service work at the Notts County Club, and signed a formal labor contract when they reached the legal age. contract.

The young players who can stay are tried and tested players who are considered by Krautzen, Billa, Mertesacker Sr. and chief scout Pat Devlin to at least be able to establish themselves in the National League in the future.

Wei Xun feels that this down-to-earth approach is as reliable as his own. The Notts County youth training needs to build its own brand and reputation step by step. The National League team will output it.

If you can't become the youth training camp with the most output players in the top league, then first become the youth training camp with the most output players in the low-level leagues!

"Wei, how is it? Are my lads all right? I think you can pay attention to these two lads. The one on No. 49 has just been transferred from the Forest team. Sherwood District, Newark Born, Anthony Alter; the other No. 41 is a child in our own territory, Eddie Taylor, a native of Nottingham..." The old Mertesacker introduced to Wei Xun the one he thought was good on the field players.

Wei Xun followed Mertesacker's fingers and easily found these two players. At the age of 17, he stood out among a group of players aged 19-23, and there was still a little childishness on his red face. Their most unique imprint.

"Stefan, why do young players from the Forest team come to us? Aren't we mortal enemies? Can they let them go?" Wei Xun was a little puzzled, this midfielder named Anthony Aiert still looked very Yes, not the kind of player who would be dismissed by the Forest team...

"Your idea is right, Wei. Only the players eliminated by the Forest team will come to us to try their luck, but they are a League One team. When the league is played, who makes them a League One team? They have the capital. Anyway, you know that our rule is that no one is rejected, as long as we can pass the test, we all have to..." Old Mertesacker Some helplessly explained.

"However, I have to thank Mr. Clausen and Coach Billa. They both have good vision. When Anthony came to the trial training, he mainly tested the forward's ability level. After all, he was in the forest team. The position is the striker, but during the trial training, he couldn't score an empty goal. He scored 10 shots in a row before scoring a goal. There is no goalkeeper..."

"Eh..., is it that bad?" Wei Xun shrugged helplessly. How can a person who doesn't score empty goals play as a striker? Playing as a defender is almost the same....

"And then, why did you keep him?"

"Didn't you see? How fast was the chasing speed of the little guy just now?" Old Mertesacker's proud expression made Wei Xun want to go up and beat his son fiercely to relieve his anger...

I was busy chatting with you old man, what can I see...

Wei Xun tried very hard to recall the scene that just happened before his eyes, and Anthony gave another wonderful performance.

The Notts County youth team is launching a corner kick attack. Both central defenders have scored into the opponent's penalty area. After the drive, the opponent's defender quickly cleared the siege, and the ball was taken by the opponent's wide player, who easily passed the Notts County full-back and rushed all the way.

Just before the stack was about to complete his shot, Anthony Aiert showed up and blocked the opponent's shot with his body stuck in position.

"I K, this speed is too fucking abnormal, isn't it? Is this kid still human? How could he be so fast!"

Wei Xun soon realized that he had swearing in front of the old man, "I'm sorry, Stefan, I'm a little excited..."

"Haha, it doesn't matter, Wei, you know, half a month ago I also swear like you, and I was frightened to be honest, the speed of this kid is too surprising," the old Mertesacker shot Patting Wei Xun on the shoulder was to forgive Wei Xun for his swearing.

"Later, Mr. Clausen and Coach Bila also felt that this kid was fast and had a good sense of position. You can try to play the midfielder position first. The kind who does dirty work full-time. I didn't expect it to be very useful. Since he played the main role to sweep away the midfielders, the defensive quality of our U23 team has improved a lot, and we have not conceded a goal in two consecutive rounds. In addition, let’s not mention it, the young players from the Forest team have really good basic skills in passing and receiving , even Coach Bila said yes..."

"From the hot chicken striker to the ball stealing machine, from the outcast of the Forest team to the treasure of Notts County, Stefan, I think we need to publicize this matter well. In addition, we can't completely give up the players that others don't want. In a few days, we will hold a meeting on youth training to draft some ideas and procedures for our Notts County youth training system."

At this time, Wei Xun already had some ideas in his mind, but the important part still needs to be checked by the giants of the youth training such as Kraushen and Billa. Combined with the actual situation of Notts County, a set of ideas suitable for Notts County has been created. In terms of the youth training system, there is still a long time in the future, and there is enough time left for Notts County to conquer the world.

Football is not actually a sport where you can play wherever you want.

In fact, when Wei Xun started to receive football training in the third grade of elementary school, he was arranged by the coach to practice goalkeeper just because he was taller than other children and liked to play basketball with his father.After practicing for 3 years, he switched to left midfielder and left back, and now he is playing central defender at the University of Nottingham.

In professional football, as the age increases and the style of play changes, the positions of many players have changed. Take Hao Junmin of our national football team as an example. Schalke 04 was transformed into a left back and played in the Champions League. After returning to the Chinese Super League and joining Shandong Luneng, Hao Junmin played as a midfielder most of the time and became the core of the Taishan team's offense and defense; BJ Guoan's Yu Dabao, as a striker, has scored key goals for the Chinese team in the international arena many times. Goal in the game.

It is not uncommon in China, and there are even more such examples in international football. The Warcraft "Drogba" who joined Shanghai Shenhua was a defender when he first played football. This also had an impact on Drogba's later football style. It has a little influence; the central defender Lucio of the Brazilian national team and Bayern Munich played as a forward when he debuted. He was also unknown at the beginning. Cafu, his experience is very similar to that of Lucio.

Some things can be improved through acquired training, while some things rely more on talent.

In England and even in the leagues of various countries in the world, many young players have walked on the "wrong path". After failing to meet the team's expectations, they were abandoned one after another, while the talented children in China were drowned In the midst of a large number of homework and extracurricular tutoring classes, some netizens even commented that "Chinese Messi" and "Chinese Ronaldo" are either moving bricks on the construction site or brushing up questions in the classroom. Three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulation... …

Young players are forced to give up their love for football. Such things happen every day. Professional football has warmth, but also cruelty and inhumanity.

For competitive sports, not many people worry about such things anymore. There are a lot of football talents waiting for them to discover. Whether the eliminated players' futures are ruined is none of their business.

Wei Xun is trying to do something to change this rule. He hopes that he can cultivate his own "Valdy" that belongs to Notts County.

In his eyes, football is a sport with warmth, it shouldn't be so cold, maybe a little lost, Wei Xun and the old Mertesacker had a brief exchange and then left the youth training camp.How uncomfortable it would be if a child's dream was trampled on by others with disdain.
