Chapter 125 The Trip to Wuhan
The players of the Southampton team have gone through a few days of formation running-in and physical recovery training. The feeling now is completely different from the feeling when they first started training.Chen Zhun was also in a good mood looking at these young and energetic players. The old players also tried their best to pass on all their experience to the young players during training.The current Southampton team can be described as strong and strong.

After a long-distance flight, the Southampton team finally arrived in Wuhan, but the scene after the end made them unforgettable for life.The players of the Southampton team originally thought that there would not be too many fans to greet them, but they did not expect that the airport was full of fans present, some were holding Southampton team scarves and team logos, and some were fans of the players , of course, fans of Alan Shearer and Roberto Ayala accounted for the majority.But such a scene made them very gratified.Chen Zhun saw all this, and he always felt that these fans were bought by Yue Hun with money to create an atmosphere.

After the warm reception at the airport, all the soldiers of the Southampton team were in a good mood, giving them the illusion that their influence in other countries is also very high.After staying at the airport for a while, Chen Zhun and the players of the Southampton team went to the hotel to rest, and then rushed to the training ground for physical recovery training.

Wuhan, referred to as Han, also known as Jiangcheng, the provincial capital of HUB province, a sub-provincial city, and a national regional central city (Central China), is located in the east of the Jianghan Plain and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. and integrated transportation hub.

In his previous life, Chen Zhun had never been to Wuhan, but he had been yearning for the food in Wuhan for a long time. It seems that this trip to Wuhan will come true.

After Chen Zhun and the team members trained in the training ground for half a day, they were dragged away by Lin Seshu and the team's management staff to start activities, because usually when going abroad to play warm-up matches, more than half of the time is used to participate in activities. Use these activities to increase your club's popularity, influence, and of course finances.

Chen Zhun and his team members first went to a large shopping mall in Wuhan, where there were Yuehun and Lin Seshu's companies and their counters, where they wanted to promote the company and the products of the counters, and then they went to He began to rush to the next shopping mall non-stop and continued to repeat such activities. After half a day, Chen Zhun and his team members went to five large shopping malls in Wuhan, which made Chen Ze and his team members miss how leisurely the training game was. .

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when they returned to the hotel. After dinner, Chen Zhun did not let the team members conduct night training.Anyway, there are still two days before the warm-up match, so such aggressive training can't ruin the players' bodies.

Time passed quickly, but luckily the next day was calm, and Lin Seshu did not appear again, so the players could sweat it out on the training ground with peace of mind.There were not many fans who came to watch, but there were still enthusiastic fans who watched the training of the Southampton players in the hot weather. Of course, the fans came to see Alan Shearer.Alan Shearer's influence in China is unquestionable.

Chen Zhun's training on this day is mainly based on passing the ball. Now the players' passing tacit understanding is far from enough to show in the rhythm of the Premier League. What they need most now is time to run in and play together. The longer he plays, the stronger his control will be. Of course, Chen Zhun is glad that he has a group of players with excellent ball sense and cooperation awareness. In addition, the players who joined last season have been trained by Chen Zhun in their minds and bodies. He has a good anti-grab and defensive awareness, which greatly improves this new tactic and saves a lot of trouble.Just in time, let's take tomorrow's Wuhan team for surgery.

Speaking of this team that was newly promoted to the highest league in China, Chen Zhun also had a vague memory of them, but he knew that they were once considered a strong team that should not be underestimated in the highest league, but Chen Zhun forgot what happened to the Wuhan team afterwards. What caused the sudden disintegration, causing this team to disappear, I still feel embarrassed after thinking about it.

Chen Zhun was going to attend the pre-match press conference today. At this moment, Arnesen called. Chen Zhun had asked him to go to his home in the previous life and asked him to pick up David Winston. Of course , Arnesen brought good news. Both Chen Zhun's parents agreed with David Winston's decision to become a player. Perhaps it was also because of the presence of Lin Seshu's company managers. Presumably, Yue Hun and Lin Se Shu's company still has a lot of influence in China, and the Premier League clubs are not like domestic youth training teams. Southampton's youth training team does not charge any fees. A certain financial subsidy for the team members is also one of the key reasons why Chen Zhun's parents agreed.Of course, there is still a dull pain in Chen Zhun's heart, because he has not been able to see his parents, which is a great pity, but think about what will happen if he sees them. If they can't recognize each other, this kind of pain will be even more tragic .Fortunately, it is good to keep good memories. Arnesen told Chen Zhun that they will arrive in Wuhan one day.David Winston was successfully picked up, and then he had to register. He can only be placed in the youth team now.But the issue of future registration remains a thorny issue.There is still a long time to think about this problem, and I will think about it later.

At the pre-match press conference, Chen Zhun and the head coach of the Wuhan team attended together, but what surprised Chen Zhun was that the head coach of the Wuhan team was not the coach Pei in his impression, but someone who was about the same age as him and whose surname was Lan. of a young coach.This is still a big change, and Chen Zhun can't figure out who the coach who is called Lan Guidance in the reporter's mouth is.Chen Zhun was watching Director Lan talking eloquently, which was a bit of an illusion. Of course, such care is inevitable in the home team games, and the media reporters present must have a very limited understanding of the Southampton team.During the entire pre-match press conference, Chen Zhun was asked two questions, one was whether he could win, and the other was how about his opponent.

After the boring and surprising pre-match press conference, Chen Zhun did not stay and returned to the training ground. Chen Zhun arranged for today's training match to be completely closed. It can be seen that Chen Zhun is warming up for this first game. The competition is still very important. It is to get off to a good start and make a good start for the journey of this season.
-
Wuhan Stadium, the game between Southampton and Wuhan will start soon.

The Wuhan Stadium was full of seats, and of course half of the tickets were given away.Yue Hun and Lin Seshu were also sitting in the VIP seats, carefully watching the upcoming match.

Chen Zhun's lineup today is a 433 formation.Rene Adler in goal, with Leighton Baines, Roberto Ayala, Luis Pereira and Luke Young at the back.The single midfielder is Clemens Fritz, the two people in front of him are Miguel Arteta and Yaya Toure, and the two wingers are Peter Trochowski and Adam - Lallana, the lone striker is David Villa.This lineup is also the first time that Chen Zhun has used it in an official game, so we have to see how his real combat strength is.

At the beginning of the game, the Wuhan team took the lead to kick off. Chen Zhun sat on the coach's bench and watched the coach next door Lan shouting from the sidelines from the very beginning.It can be seen that he attaches great importance to the outcome of the Haicang competition.

But Chen Zhun couldn't see any tactical ideas of Director Lan in this game, it was completely X**T! !One is a cross from the side, the other is a long shot, the other is a breakthrough, and the other is a long pass.This is a complete hodgepodge of various tactics.

Not only Chen Zhun didn't understand, but the players on the field were also confused.But fortunately, their tactical execution ability is very high, and they still follow the tactics formulated by Chen Zhun, that is, control the ball, control the ball, control the ball, and then look for opportunities between smooth and fast.

The game came to the 15th minute with Southampton's almost crazy ball possession rate, and the fans at the scene booed dissatisfied.But when the boos were everywhere, the players of the Southampton team had already started a round of offensive.After Clemens Fritz successfully steals the ball from the Wuhan team in midfield, he quickly passes the ball to Yaya Toure, who receives the ball. Breaking into the penalty area, Yaya Toure broke into no man's land all the way.The physical fitness of the players of the Wuhan team can hardly compare with Yaya Toure's small body. Seeing that Yaya 0 Toure immediately broke into the penalty area, the players of the Wuhan team had to be placed in Yaya Toure. ball chance.

Miguel Arteta takes the penalty, runs up, takes the penalty!pretty! !The ball went in!

An easy first goal for Southampton!Free kick!
The stadium finally burst into rare cheers!

The players of the Southampton team also huddled together, celebrating the goal!

Chen Zhun, who was sitting on the coach's bench, was not happy, because the match against Wuhan was not about winning, but about scoring a few goals.

Five minutes after the free kick, Southampton scored again.

After Luke Yang broke through the Wuhan team's players from the side, he passed directly into the penalty area. David Villa ran ghostly in the penalty area, avoided the Wuhan team's defender, and then scored with a shovel.

Two minutes later, Southampton scored again, a flurry of possession followed by a deadly through ball from Miguel Arteta, David Villa got the ball again and blasted off. Shot and shot the ball into the net again.

Before the end of the first half, Southampton scored again, Yaya Toure fired a long shot.In the end, the score was fixed at 4-0, and the suspense of the game had been lost. In the second half, Chen Zhun also prepared to replace all the players, and then continued to train the next lineup.

Goalkeeper Sebastian Frey, followed by Nikki Shorey, Laurent Koscielny, Les Scott and Stefan Lichtsteiner at the back.The double midfield is Marek Hamsik and Lars Diarra, the attacking midfielder is David Silva, and the two wingers are Franck Ribery and Fran Mikiel Smicer , the striker is Alan Shearer.

When the fans in the stadium heard Alan Shearer's name, they cheered, because they knew that Alan Shearer's game was one game less.

Of course, the game was still firmly in the hands of a mighty Southampton team.

The players on the field also gave enough face to the old captain and veteran Alan Shearer, and frequently gave him the ball to give him a chance to score.Of course, Alan Shearer's shooting skills laughed at the players' feed.In the first 10 minutes of the game, they scored three goals in a row, and now the score has reached a disparity of seven to zero.

Of course, every time Alan Shearer scored a goal, the fans at the scene burst into bursts of cheers.

The Wuhan team had given up resistance at this time, but their movements were getting bigger and bigger, which forced Chen Zhun to stand up after sitting on the coach's bench for six to ten minutes.Because he was very worried about this situation, for fear that the Wuhan team would intentionally hurt his players.Chen Zhun himself was fascinated by the invincible serial killing legs, which is a domestic characteristic.

Fortunately, the referee of this game controlled the rhythm of the game very well, and did not let the Wuhan team make more tragic moves. In the end, the game was also fixed at a score of [-]-[-], and the players of the Southampton team also responded appropriately. He took care of the mood of the Wuhan team, did not attack, but tried to control the game with the ball as much as possible.

After the game, Chen Zhun and the Southampton team members returned to the hotel easily, because tomorrow they can go to Wuhan for a tour, eat delicious food and see the scenery.

The food in Wuhan can be said to be one morning and one night. Early morning and late night snacks are the most classic. There is a good saying "Taste Hubu Lane in the morning and Jiqing Street in the evening".Wuhan cuisine inherits the style of Hubei cuisine and gathers the essence of east, west, north and south. The dishes are rich and diverse, and have their own characteristics. It is a famous "gourmet capital".

Wuhan's special snacks include hot dry noodles, three fresh bean curds, noodle nests, rice cakes, bean shreds, Huanxituo, duck necks, Wuchang fish, pork ribs and lotus root soup, fried bacon with Hongshan cabbage sprouts, glutinous rice cakes, etc.

Satisfied with wine and food, Chen Zhun returned to Southampton with all the soldiers after a meal. The only thing that changed was that David Winston did not go to Wuhan, but returned directly to Southampton with Arnesen. , Chen Zhun and David Winston's first meeting was postponed to Southampton, Chen Zhun's uneasy mood will last for another two days.

This trip to Wuhan was of no use to Chen Zhun and his team members, and it did not serve the purpose of training troops at all.But Chen Zhun couldn't refute Yue Hun and Lin Seshu's decision.But fortunately, seeing the emergence of Chen Zhun's new tactics for the first time also gave Chen Zhun better modifications and adjustments to the new formation.

Inside the plane, Chen Zhun looked thoughtfully at the clouds outside, what would his meeting with David Winston be like.
