fat man who can't play football

Chapter 171
In a remote corner of Yorkdale's Tavern, Steve was drinking wine sadly by himself. It would be great if he was reborn as a handsome guy, maybe there is already a blond beauty in his arms.

Steve touched his chubby face, saddened.

The sound of conversation in the next seat caught Steve's attention.

It was a bit of a vicissitudes of voice: "Today's game was really good, I remember the last time we beat Arsenal at Elland Road was more than ten years ago.

If I remember correctly, it was back in 00/01 when we beat "Arsenal" at home, which was great.

I remember that team had Kewell, Viduka, Batty (England's main midfielder, not the God of War Batistuta) and other stars. By the way, there is also the bad boy who always short-circuits Bowyer.

At that time, I still didn't want to see the old guys in the team, such as the old goalkeeper Martin (England's second national goal at the time), always felt that he blocked his own children like Robinson.

Of course, there are also Woodgate and the love-hate Leo Ferdinand and Alan Smith. When Smith was born, I thought Leeds' striker would not have to worry about it for ten years.

Unexpectedly, both he and Leo went to the mortal enemy.

Time really flies by.

too fast. "

The fat man looked carefully at the uncle who said these words, the years had already made his face dimpled, but when this uncle fell into the good memories of the time of the young guards, the light in his eyes made people palpitate.

The young fans on the side were also fascinated.

"When I was young, I always listened to these things my father told me when he came home. He always said that Leeds was destroyed by Jinyuan football. If the management could be more reliable, it would be great to keep those young people. .”

Hearing this, the memories of Steve began to haunt Fatty's body, and the unforgettable pain came out from the bottom of his heart.

What a wonderful team it was. At that time, Steve was full of aspirations and wanted to start a big era with his youth team members, but everything about himself was ruined by injuries.

These pains continued to ferment, which always prevented the fat man from watching the games of little brothers like Milner and Lennon.

The young Leeds fan added: "I think Steve is doing a great job now, he is our own man, and understands the significance of youth training and inheritance to Leeds.

You can see that Lewis (Cook), Calvin (Phillips), and Sam (Byram) have all played the main force in the team, and they all performed quite well.

He also made many children from Thorpe Arch (Leeds United training base, Leeds United first team and youth team share the same training center) into the first team, Charlie (Taylor), Peacock (Farrell), Jack (Clark) ), I can't wait to see the day when they become popular. "

Sure enough, the local players trained by the youth training have extraordinary significance to the fans. They are the bond between the team and the fans.

The fat man took another gulp of graham beer.

I don't know when I started to complain that the club's bench was not deep enough, and I always wanted to try my luck in the transfer market.

I almost forgot about these lovely children, and I almost forgot what I wanted at first.

Time to check out another site at the heart of Thorpe Arch.

Since it is difficult for Charlie Taylor and Jack Clark to squeeze into the 18-man roster this season, most of them have to follow the reserve team to participate in the game to maintain their state.

Fatty felt that he cared too little for them, how could he grow up without giving these players a chance.

The repeated torment of the alcohol on the stomach made the fat man's head slam into the pillow, and for a moment Steve felt that his head was not his own.

Suppressing the overwhelming desire in his body, Steve glanced at his phone.

I'll go, it's already twelve o'clock, and I missed the morning training.

Hey, why didn't anyone call to remind me?

The ignorant fat man remembered again: It seems... um... I gave the players a day off.

Wait... I seem to have forgotten something again.

By the way, I have to go to the training center to see the young people's training.

I remember that the training time of the reserve team started at four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still too late to get up.

The fat man climbed up with great willpower, washed up, looked for some food to maintain his energy, and rushed towards Thorpe Arch with an unshaven beard.

The first team will rush to Rome tomorrow to prepare for the UEFA Cup match against the Red Wolves. Those boys who thought they would not be able to make the 18-man roster are training with the reserve team, hoping to get some chances to participate in the game.

The fat man rushed sleepily to the youth team's training turf in the Thorpe Arch Centre.

Glancing at the time, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.

Several players are already actively training.

Among them is Kulusevsky, who was only traded for Golini from Atlanta this summer.

The young man didn't know he was coming, but he still practiced very seriously.

The Swede took the initiative to play one-on-one with Charlie Taylor, and there were many highlights in the confrontation that moved the fat man.

Xiaoku's dribbling moves are very comprehensive. After taking the ball, he played the turn around with the ball on the spot and the Marseille roundabout very smoothly. Even Taylor's full defense was passed several times.

Be aware that in one-on-one, the defensive player has more advantages because the offensive player has no passing options.

Taylor is already a defender with a lot of experience in professional football. Facing such a defense, Xiaoku still makes Fatty shine.

Judging from Xiaoku's extraordinary movements and methods, due to his height of 1.8 meters [-], his acceleration and explosive power are a bit lacking, and his flexibility is also a bit lacking, but his excellent ball-handling skills and dribbling ability make all this no longer is the problem.

The fat man has heard the report from the oil head brother. When Xiaoku was in the Broma Bocana team, he often played the position of right winger. He has the ability to pass the key. Ability to make incisions.

From Fatty's careful observation, Xiaoku's speed and explosive power have no advantage at all in the Premier League-level wing confrontation, which will greatly reduce his threat on the wing.

Maybe Xiaoku can try to play in the right midfield position. Fatty intends to see his performance in running without the ball in a short training game, and by the way, check whether he can have the mobility to cover the entire midfield.

Soon the players of the reserve team rushed to the stadium one after another.

Both Clark and Farrell have come. This season, because of the addition of strong supporters Sun Xingmin and Joe Hart in the same position, these two young people have very few opportunities to play games.

In addition, due to Joe Hart's delay in finding his game status, Steve also used the League Cup game to find a feeling for England's national goal. Farrell's ass was almost worn out on the bench.

Leeds United reserve team coach Redfern also entered the training ground with a step of denial.

The fat man found a hidden location, so that these people just couldn't see him.

There are already some diehard Leeds fans gathered outside the iron fence of the training ground, and it may also be the families of these young players.

After all, a young seedling like Clark, who turns 16 next month, will still need some family.

After the training match started, the Leeds fans outside the stadium screamed excitedly.

"Jack, go!"

"Charlie, you are not young anymore, work hard."

Many Leeds fans grew up watching these players. Watching these young players play football is like watching their own children.

Fatty found several familiar faces among the fans. The vicissitudes of the old man he saw in the tavern last night, although he still doesn't know his name, he left a deep impression on Fatty.

Companionship is the deepest love.

I don't know if this uncle noticed him back then.

There was also an old friend of Fatty's in the crowd who hadn't seen him for a long time——Owen, this violent man with glasses. Since little Cindy went to heaven, no one knew where he went.

He was never seen on the training ground or in the Levi stands.

Has he come out of his grief?
The fat man looked worriedly at the scruffy glasses man whose clothes were wrinkled.

After the training match started, the young people didn't show any intention of keeping their strength. They all ran vigorously and fought fiercely.

In addition to the few young players who were focused on, another outstanding young man broke into Fatty's vision.

Stuart Shackleton!

The fat man remembered that this young man joined Leeds youth training very early, and he was promoted from the U18 youth team to the reserve team probably this year.

Many people in the club have mentioned to themselves how amazing this young man is, as long as he does not suffer from injuries, he will definitely be able to enter the Leeds first team in the future.

This was the first time for Steve to observe Shackleton's performance up close. This kid has the air of a general, and his maturity is like an old ball skin.

He played at the core of the midfield, and when he touched the ball, he felt completely different from the players around him.

Perhaps geniuses are like this, and a comparison will show their excellence.

Shackleton's style of play is very concise, not sloppy at all, and his passing is also very precise.

The fat man did a rough calculation, and Shackleton's passing accuracy should be over 80.00%.

The young man was very responsible, he didn't pass the ball for the sake of good statistics, and he was always creating murderous intentions.

These are very appetizing for the fat man. Leeds United's first team still lacks a player who can send a deadly pass in the midfield position.

Shackleton's strength is not strong enough to play for the first team immediately, but the fat man sees a little hope in him, like a small flame, which can start a prairie fire at any time.

The head coach of the reserve team, Redfern, followed the rules and placed Kulusevsky on the right winger position. Without the advantage of speed, he faced a short "Little Quick Spirit" defender in the reserve team, and he struggled a bit.

While watching the young man running on the field, Steve had a bold idea.

In the game against Rome, even if Leeds United has a full main lineup, it will be more or less ominous. You must know that there is Salah in Rome's formation this summer, who "Kimchi" Dane failed to keep this summer.

The Egyptian Pharaoh (Salah) is fully fired in the new season of Serie A. He has scored three goals in six league games. This is already a very good statistic for a winger.

The bald head coach Spalletti, who entered the palace for the second time last season, has turned Roma into a very combative team.

With the addition of strong support Dzeko in the new season, the lone wolf in Rome has sharp teeth and faintly has the momentum to compete for the championship.

In recent seasons, Roma has the habit of "Taobao" from the Premier League. The team's main players Szczesny, Salah and Dzeko are all from the Premier League team.

With these three main players in Roma, for Leeds United, even the basic sense of mystery cannot be maintained.

All of this is not too bad for Fatty, at least he has a chance to ripen the young seedlings in the team.

After watching the reserve team training match, Fatty had already thought up a list of 18 players for Rome.

Now what makes the fat man tangled is how to communicate with the main players. After all, no one wants to give up the opportunity to make an appearance at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

Usually, it is enough to leave such difficult problems to Aye, brother, it is just used to cheat.

On the way home, the fat man cautiously dialed Yevez's number, hoping that this buddy wasn't preparing dinner for his wife.

After a while, Ah Ye answered the phone.

"Hi Steve."

"Aye, I hope I haven't disturbed your two-person world."

"Let the fart go."

"Okay, Ah Ye. Uh... the weather is really nice today."

"Steve, if you want to buy me a drink. I'm sorry to tell you: no time."

"What a grim fellow."

……

"Okay, Ah Ye. There is indeed something that needs to trouble you. You also know that the high-intensity game tasks this season have exhausted the players. I think it's time for the team to carry out a rotation."

"What? Rotation against Roma? The team is just starting to pick up momentum."

"Aye, you have to know that the international match day is coming soon, and after that there will be double matches in a week, and the players can't hold on. Do you remember the mysterious story of the East that I told you?"

"which one?"

"It's that Tian Ji horse racing."

……

"Aye, there is no reason for us to run out of bullets against the strongest team in the group. You just need to remember that the second place in the group can also appear."

"Steve, if this is your decision. I will support you, and I will find a way to talk to Cook and them. You also know that Cook can't wait to play every game."

The tacit understanding over the years made Aye understand what Fatty wanted him to do.

"Thank you."

"It's nothing. I hung up. I still have to prepare dinner for Anne (Ye Weitz's wife)."

beep --

A Ye is really too impatient, so at least let me say "Get out".

The next day, Steve deliberately walked to the training center a little later, but he couldn't tell anything from Cook's face, because he only had the word "facial paralysis" written on his face.

The fat man was a little at a loss, and after starting lap training, Ye Weitz secretly made an "okay" gesture to the fat man.

feel like a brother...

that's nice!

I hope these young seedlings in the team can take advantage of this to gain penalties, after all, the chance of being brutally abused by a strong team is not common.
