Chapter 13 The Psychiatrist
The team reported on the first day that Loew came to the training ground early, but what he didn't expect was that David, the chairman of the club, was also standing on the training ground in sportswear, with a dog hanging around his neck. Whistle, looking at the dress, it is exactly the same as myself.

"Mr. Chairman, this is the first training session, and you plan to fire me?" Loew asked jokingly, but the doubt in his heart was real.

David shrugged, pretending not to know what Love meant, with a puzzled expression.

"You dress like this, don't you plan to fire me and lead the team and serve as the coach yourself?" Loew asked helplessly, of course, the tone was still mostly joking.

"Didn't I tell you before that I will also be the assistant coach of the first team?" David pretended to be innocent, but in fact, he really didn't say it.

Love's face was a little ugly, but he never thought that David would come out like this.

I myself came to England to coach Notts County and did not get the right to transfer. All my rights are concentrated on the training ground and the game field, and now David, the chairman, also serves as the assistant coach of the team. On the only one-third of an acre of land, how much right to speak can I have left?

Seeing Loew's expression, David understood what Loew was worried about. He put his arm around Loew's shoulder and said with a smile: "My buddy, don't worry, I won't tell you what to lead the team. You You should know that I am an out-and-out fan. Even as the chairman of the club, I don’t want to stay in a box and isolate myself from the world every game. I prefer to watch the game from the sidelines. Therefore, the role of assistant coach is the most It couldn't be more appropriate."

David's explanation made Love relax a little, but he still felt regretful about his choice.

"In fact, you can let go of your ambitions. I will help you remove all obstacles, and as an assistant coach, I may be of great help to you. You also know that sometimes the team faces some injustices. If you can't restrain your emotions and you are sent to the stands, then the team may become a mess on the court." David observed Love's expression and said while the iron was hot: "And I, as an assistant coach , I don’t have so many estimates, the work of this protest can be entrusted to me!”

Loew felt dumbfounded after listening to David's words. This chairman is really too unreliable. In other words, the young Mr. Chairman really didn't regard himself as the chairman, but a diehard fan. , that's all.

Loew, relieved, grinned at David, without saying anything.

To David's surprise, after a conversation between the two, Loew actually gave David some assistant coach duties. Although it has nothing to do with technical and tactical training, this job still made David full of fighting spirit. Full.

That's right, what Loew asked him to be responsible for was the psychological counseling of the players, or in other words, he became the team's psychologist.

This position is held by most clubs. In the extremely stressful field of modern football, the psychological problems of players must be given enough attention. Not every player is born with a big heart.

If the mental state is good, then it is possible to exert more than 100% of the strength, and once the mental state fluctuates, the state of training and competition may not be stable. This is something that complements each other.

Just when David was thinking about how to carry out his work in the future, he had unknowingly brought him into the role of assistant coach. I am afraid that from now on, the job of the club chairman will be his part-time job.

The players arrived one after another. This was a brand new first-team lineup. The players didn't know each other. Several players from one country stood together, but they seemed very unfamiliar.

No way, it seems that Notts County is really an out-and-out mercenary group. There are only two English players in the entire first team. In the new season's starting lineup, there may not even be a single English player.

Fortunately, there is no minimum requirement for local players at this time. As for the future, David believes that with his own vision, the Notts County Youth Academy will definitely become the best youth academy in the world.

Although Loew had been on vacation before, he did not let go of his work. After getting Notts County's transfer list, he began to familiarize himself with the characteristics of the players and study the tactics of the new team, so he did not care about the group of players in front of him. no stranger.

Loew brought his direct assistant coach, Buchwald, who was his technical guide when he coached in Stuttgart.

Let Buchwald take the players for physical training, while Loew and David discuss work on the sidelines.

"David, there are currently 21 players in the team's first team, and it is not possible to have at least one substitute for each position. If we only consider the league, then this configuration is barely enough, but if we want to If we have made some gains in the cup, then our lineup must be strengthened." Love said directly to David without being polite at all.

David nodded, then shook his head, his expression seemed a little surprised.

This lineup is completely constructed according to his ideas. If a third goalkeeper is added casually, it will be a 22-man lineup, which can fully cope with the league. Even if there are 24 teams in League Two, each season needs to play 46 rounds Contest.

He doesn't expect the team to make a difference in the cup competition. Regardless of the League Cup or the FA Cup, which is more important, the champion can directly participate in the European war. A second division team in Notts County, how can there be a chance? Go for this honor.

Being able to upgrade is their biggest task this season.

But it is obvious that Love is more ambitious than David, which is what surprised David.

"Joachim, it seems that we should be more down-to-earth. I know better than you the potential of these players and how much they can achieve in the future, but now they are just some young people who have not experienced much baptism. This season we The biggest goal is to upgrade, compared to that, the cup is not that important." David looked directly into Loew's eyes and smiled.

Loew shrugged, spread his hands, and said with a natural expression: "Yes, David, promotion is our biggest task, but we have such an excellent lineup, shouldn't we have greater pursuits? Cup competition The champions can participate in the UEFA Cup. Don't you think it is a wonderful thing for our Notts County third-tier league team to win the championship trophy? Don't you want our Notts County team to win the championship next season? To represent England in the UEFA Cup as a second-tier team blinds everyone's eyes?"

Even David, who thought he had a strong mental capacity, was shocked by Loew's rhetoric.

Is there anything crazier than this?
The third-tier league team won the cup championship trophy?

Second tier league teams in the UEFA Cup?
Just thinking about David makes my blood boil.

It's done!

Seeing the change of David's expression, Loew thought that David was struggling and hesitating, so he hurriedly hit the rails: "Even if we didn't win the cup championship, we didn't get nothing. You have to know, all of our team They are young people with outstanding talents. If they can get enough training in the game, their growth will be limitless, and they can meet Premier League and League One teams in cup games. This kind of game can train people more than League Two.”
