Chapter 109 Winter Battle Song
Four days, neither long nor short, passed like this.

But four days ago it was still clear and clear, but it started to rain four days later.

While eating breakfast, Chen Zhun looked at the light rain falling outside. The raindrops dripped on the window, making tiny noises, and then quietly and slowly slid down the smooth mirror surface.

"In winter, it rains, it's unbelievable." Chen Zhun murmured.

The southern coast of England, where Southampton is located, has one of the warmest climates in the UK, but nationally, the weather is unpredictable and rain can occur at any time of the year.It rarely snows in Southampton and the temperature rarely dips below freezing.

This also determines why Chen Zhun is so curious and surprised.

But such a rainy day also determines that the players will spend less time on the training ground, and instead carry out physical training indoors to ensure that the body functions well in more aspects.

The rain didn't stop until the afternoon, and the weather became colder after the rain, and the biting cold intensified a bit.Chen Zhun did not let the players do too much training with the ball, but simply passed the ball and ran circles to end today's training.

After the training, Reid said a little worriedly: "It will rain in Southampton for two days, which is not very good for St. Mary's Stadium."

Chen Zhun nodded and said, "That's right, it's not just about the stadium. In such cold weather, I'm afraid that some players will be injured."

Reed continued: "This is something that cannot be predicted. I will ask the physical coach to do a good job of warming up to prevent such things from happening."

"I hope so, they are all young players, and there should be no injuries at critical moments!" After speaking, Chen Zhun looked at the players returning to the locker room one after another with complicated eyes.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of the ball hitting the goal was still heard from time to time in the training ground.

Chen Zhun and Reed, who were about to return to the locker room, stopped when they heard the sound, and turned around to look for the source of the sound.

In the distance of the training ground, Arteta, Anders Svensson and Cubasan are training free kicks.

In Chen Zhun's eyes, it should be Arteta and Svensson who are teaching Kuba the secret of kicking free kicks.

Kuba raised his foot to shoot again and again, but the success rate was terrible. In the memory of his previous life, Chen Zhun remembered Kuba more as endless running, bursting shots full of power, and super speed. Chen Zhun did not have any memory of the free kick.But Chen Zhun is delighted with this change, perhaps some players have already begun to change.Just like Lars Diarra, although he can't help but occasionally dribble the ball to the frontcourt and then blindly lose the ball on the court, but such scenes are becoming less and less.Chen Zhun also hopes that there will be more changes like this.

Chen Zhun and Reid walked behind them and found that Arteta and Svensson were still tirelessly teaching Kuba the movements when kicking free kicks, how to put his feet on and other key technical movements.

At the beginning, Arteta and Svensson didn't notice the appearance of Chen Zhun and Reed. When Kuba put ten balls in front of him again and continued to shoot, they realized that the head coach and assistant coach had already Been standing for some time.

Chen Zhun signaled not to call Kuba, let him practice quietly, and then asked in a low voice: "How is it? Can I become a free kick expert like you!"

Swensen glanced at Kuba, and then said: "This kid has great potential, but he still needs a lot of training, but I believe he can, and I see persistence in his eyes."

Reid also added a sentence, saying: "The head coach of the youth team said the same thing. Kuba always asks for extra training after training. He is eager to play and prove himself."

Chen Zhun didn't speak, but when he heard Reed talking about the youth team, he remembered that he hadn't been to the youth team for a while, and he didn't know how Gareth Bell and Theo Walcott were growing up.

With these ten goals, Kuba seems to have found his sense. Under the influence of obstacles, Kuba scored four goals, which is already Kuba's best performance.

When Kuba spun the last ball perfectly into the upper right corner of the goal, Kuba clenched his fists excitedly and celebrated a little.

Chen Zhun clapped his hands and walked slowly in front of Kuba.

Still excited, Kuba heard the applause and thought that his two teachers were very satisfied with his performance, so he hurriedly turned around, but he didn't expect the head coach to be behind him.

Kuba was a little at a loss and said, "Boss, you are here!"

Chen Zhun walked up to Kuba with a smile.Said: "Yes, you played very well. I heard them say that you have been practicing more recently?"

Kuba nodded without speaking.

Chen Zhun continued: "Do you want to play?"

Kuba's calm eyes suddenly stirred up waves, but obviously suppressed his excitement, he asked, "I want to, even in my dreams!"

Chen Zhun put his hand on Kuba's shoulder and said, "In the next round of the league, you will start the game, seize the opportunity and perform well!" After speaking, Chen Zhun took Reed and left the training ground.He heard cheers behind him, a long suppressed cheer.

On February 2, the Premier League finally rekindled the war after a short rest period.Southampton challenged West Bromwich Albion in an away game. Chen Zhun is bound to win this game and must take all three points.

Of course, the result was as Chen Zhun expected, winning 2-0 easily.Kanoute and Crouch made meritorious service respectively.The most shining star in this game is Kuba, who played for Southampton for the first time. He surprised everyone. He was a fish in water in the position of the right midfielder. Assists, perfect delivery of the first answer sheet.

Chen Zhun also hopes to see such a situation, but it also indicates that Glenshire's situation is becoming more and more delicate. There is no place for him in the lineup, but this is football. No matter how famous you are and how good your grades are, you still give up your position to players who perform well.It's not that Chen Zhun didn't give Glenshire a chance, but he squandered it time and time again.Chen Zhun thinks about it now, maybe Glenshire's technical style and characteristics are really not suitable for the current team's tactical system, and it is impossible for him to change his tactical style rashly for a Glenshire, then Glenshire Can only continue to wait for the opportunity on the bench.

Chen Zhun felt relaxed when he saw that there were no wounded in the team and the atmosphere in the locker room was relatively friendly, but he knew that he could not relax. The management of the locker room was more complicated than tactics and more troublesome.

West Bromwich Albion, take it away, what is left is that all the powers from all walks of life compete to appear, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road. Who is the brave, see you on the field!
