Chapter 40 Extra practice during the holidays!

"Hehe... Coach, do you have something to do?" Chen Feng didn't know why Coach Nagelsman was looking for him.

"Are you going back to China this holiday?" Unexpectedly, Nagelsman was concerned about this question.

"Ah? Oh... I shouldn't go back." This is the result of his discussion with Abiteo yesterday. Abiteo thinks that Chen Feng's foundation is still too weak. He has been tossing around in Perugia for several months without continuous training. It is just this holiday to strengthen the training foundation. At least he can hold the ball under high pressure to be qualified. He can also continue to strengthen short and long passes, so that he can gain a stable foothold in Hoffenheim u19 next season.

The second is that Chen Feng calculated his wallet. The previous youth contract in Perugia didn’t have any salary at all. Even if Chen Feng didn’t spend any money in Perugia, he lived in the residence provided by Perugia and ate nutritious meals in the canteen of the Perugia Youth Base. After a few months of accumulation, it was not enough for Chen Feng’s round-trip air ticket. Therefore, Chen Feng decided to stay in Germany with peace of mind and train in the Hoffenheim base.

Speaking of contracts, when Chen Feng came to Hoffenheim, the club gave him two contracts. One was a fixed monthly salary of 3000, with an annual salary increase of 20%. The contract was signed for three years;
Chen Feng chose the second contract almost without hesitation, which was somewhat beyond Nagelsman's expectations.

"You seem to be very confident. Although the second contract looks much more attractive than the first contract, many players can't play in the first team for a lifetime. They can only play in the B team until they lose confidence and then decide to leave the team. It is not easy to play in the first team for ten games. You have to think clearly; although the salary of the first contract is low, it is still quite a lot. Of course, this is my personal opinion. The specific choice is up to you."

"I think the second contract is very good. Sometimes people need to put some pressure on themselves. Otherwise, if they are too comfortable, they will not make progress." Chen Feng still chose the second contract with a smile.

Hearing that Chen Feng didn't plan to go back, Nagelsman was taken aback for a moment, and then told Chen Feng with a smile.

"You don't go back to rest this holiday? Are you trying to work hard for the terms of the contract?"

Chen Feng nodded seriously: "Yes, the monthly salary is close to [-], I'm going to decide."

Then the master and apprentice smiled knowingly.

"Then go ahead. By the way, I just assigned a document for you yesterday. It contains some habits and foot preferences of your teammates. You can take a good look at it, as well as some of my opinions on your daily training. If you don't understand anything, you can come to the office and ask me."

"Aren't you going back, coach during the holidays?" Chen Feng asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's close...forget it, you don't have to take vacations for the [-] salary, and I will work hard for my higher contract." Nagelsman first imitated Chen Feng's tone just now, and then found it a bit embarrassing for him, so he changed it back and used his own tone.

After the two separated, Nagelsmann went back to the office to continue working on his tactics for next season. Although the tactics of the youth team have always been based on his ideas, the flow of personnel in the youth team is much faster than that of the first team. It is impossible for every core player to be in the youth team next season. Therefore, if the youth team wants to achieve good results every season, it needs not only stable tactics, but also changes made by the coach due to player changes.

Originally, Chen Feng's arrival could be very suitable for the defensive midfielder and defensive midfielder he imagined. However, Chen Feng's backcourt sorting ability and short pass ability are too poor. Once he is oppressed, it may be difficult to adjust himself in a short time. Even if Chen Feng keeps training during this holiday to fill in the basic gap, it is not enough, and the tactics have to be changed.

Nagelsman scratched his scalp a few times and continued to study tactics. Chen Feng and Abioteo in the off-field training ground looked at the information given by Nagelsman, which recorded in detail the preferred foot and position of all u19 teammates, as well as their abilities.

"It seems that your new coach cares about you very much. This time you are going to make it through." Abiteo is sincerely happy that Chen Fengneng has such a coach, just like his coach in Utrecht. If there is no coach in Utrecht who has been caring and giving him confidence, he will not be what he will be later, but it is a pity that he has disappointed the original coach after all.

"Not necessarily. This is U19. Next season will be my last year. I will be 19 years old next season, so I can only go to team B. If I can't become the main force next season and perform well, I'm afraid there will be very few chances to get close to the top league." Chen Feng didn't seem particularly excited.
