Super Training Master

Bergkamp, ​​known as the Prince of Ice, is one of the best players in the Netherlands for more than a decade. His ability is unquestionable. Whether it is speed, passing, dribbling or shooting, he has reached The best level of the world's top.

Bergkamp is old now, and his physical fitness and state will decline quickly, but his abilities in these areas will not decline.

For professional players, it is a physical feeling, and it can even be regarded as an acquired conditioned reflex. Even if the body cannot keep up, it will not affect their feeling.

Of course, aging is a serious problem.

But Bergkamp is famous for 'old and strong', which can be seen from his 28 appearances for Arsenal last season. Wansheng can also use the task system of the football training master to make up for it, although he cannot restore his youthful state. The magic effect, but it can still be done to slow down the rapid decline of his physical skills and keep him in shape.

In addition, the most important thing for Wansheng is Bergkamp's position.

Manchester City does not have a second striker in the actual sense. Andy Cole and Robbie Fowler can only be regarded as temporary players. Reiss, Ivan Crewe and other talents will shoulder more pressure, and they need to send shells to the two strikers.

This is not a reasonable mix of strikers.

Bergkamp is the real second striker. He has been with Henry for many years at Arsenal. It is not an exaggeration to change his nickname to 'The Prince of Assists'. Wan Sheng is also interested in this, and he will give it to Manchester City. The frontcourt brings a new change, and it's definitely a good change.

However, what Wansheng values ​​most is not Bergkamp's personal ability, but his experience.

Veterans are always very experienced, but winning the Champions League is not necessarily the case, and there are not many players in the world. With long-term Champions League experience, Bergkamp is one of them.

Although he has a 'fear of flying' and it is difficult to participate in all Arsenal's away games against overseas teams, Arsenal is a frequent visitor to the Champions League, so Bergkamp has a lot of European experience.

These experiences are extremely valuable to Manchester City, who have not participated in the Champions League in recent years.

The Manchester City veteran will not be able to. Like Robbie Fowler, Andy Cole. In recent years, they have not participated in the Champions League at all. The same is true for Dunn, Sun Jihai and others. They have been playing for Manchester City and have no experience in the Champions League. For example, Morris and others are all trained by Wansheng, and they do not need much experience. Say. That's nothing at all.

After all, Manchester City is very short of players who have experienced the Champions League. And next season the team is going to participate in the Champions League. At this time, it becomes very important to introduce an experienced Champions League veteran.

In addition, Bergkamp's rich football experience and world-class technical ability will also give a lot of help to other young people in the team, which is also another aspect that Wansheng takes a fancy to him.

Also, Bergkamp's contract with Arsenal has expired. He's a free agent, and the introduction doesn't cost a penny at all.

and so on...

Consider the benefits of bringing in Bergkamp. Wan Sheng immediately became very excited, but it was by no means easy to convince Bergkamp to join Manchester City.

Bergkamp is 37 years old. Most professional players in this age group have already retired for more than two years, and he is about to retire. After playing for Arsenal for eleven years, his career has become perfect.

But is it really perfect?

Wan Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

In the evening of the second day, Wan Sheng, Anita and the Bergkamp family had dinner together and discussed the World Cup games by the way.

The two talked about the England team.

England defeated Uruguay, Trinidad and Tobago in the first two rounds, and their two wins in the group stage ensured them to qualify, but the third game is still very important, because they will meet the archenemy Sweden, two games. The victory or defeat of the team will also determine who will qualify for the first place in the group.

Interestingly, England coach Eriksen is a Swede. He leads the England team to play against the team of the motherland, and his mentality must be very contradictory.

This is also a topic that many media talk about

Regardless of who wins the game, Sweden has already won, Bergkamp said.

Wan Sheng was a little puzzled.

Bergkamp explained, Sweden won, they certainly won; they lost to England and the Swedes could say, 'We lost to the team led by the Swedes, not to England'. , and perhaps Eriksson will be a hero to the Swedes.

Wan Sheng was stunned and smiled, If it's in my motherland, it must not be like this.

China?

Wan Sheng nodded.

It's a mysterious country. I've always wanted to take the whole family there to see it, but I haven't had the chance.

If I have a chance to go home, I will definitely call you, and I can be a tour guide. Wan Sheng laughed, and then he talked about the topic just now, If it is in China, Eriksson will be regarded as a traitor, and some people will scold him. A 'traitor'.

Why? Bergkamp didn't understand.

Perhaps this is the difference in culture. The Chinese always have a deep attachment to the motherland. If one day, the team I lead meets the Chinese team in an international competition, I will not know how I will feel.

Wan Sheng sighed a little.

But getting his team to meet the Chinese...it's a bit difficult. He said a few words, but didn't mention it, and then asked like a small talk, Dennis, are you really ready to retire?

Bergkamp was a little dazed.

When he thinks about it, no one will ask this question, after all, he is 37 years old, and 37-year-old players will not retire... What are you waiting for?

I don't understand you.

Wan Sheng said, You played more than 20 times last season, and you made three appearances in the Champions League. It seems that your body is completely fine, so you didn't consider playing another season?

Bergkamp shook his head, Although I feel like I can play for another year, I am 37 years old. Even if I play for another year, it will be difficult to have a chance to play, and the club will not renew my contract with me.

Speaking of which, I have always been your fan. Wan Sheng suddenly laughed, I like your style of playing football very much.

Oh? Bergkamp came to be interested, and at the same time felt strange, when a top league team coach, said to be a fan of a professional player who has not fully retired. It always feels strange, but looking at the face ten years younger than him, it's normal, That's really my honor.

I'm not joking, I like your style very much. And those media reports. 'Ice Prince', what a handsome name.

Wan Sheng said, and several people next to him laughed. Of course, they were all kind smiles, and Bergkamp was also amused. At this time, Wan Sheng asked. As your fan. I want to ask you from a fan standpoint, Dennis, do you have any regrets in your career?

Pity?

Bergkamp was suddenly silent.

He looks back on his career, starting as a genius at Ajax, followed by two dark years at Inter Milan, and then at Arsenal in 1995, when he followed Arsene Wenger to glory.

Speaking of regrets. After playing for Arsenal for 11 years, Arsenal's regret may be their own regret, right?

So. Is it the Champions League? !

Bergkamp took another look at Wansheng. He suddenly felt that the young China in front of him seemed to have a plan, because Manchester City will also participate in the Champions League next season, so he wants to play for Manchester City for one season?

Bergkamp gave a wry smile and turned to look at his wife, who was taking care of the child, and Anita, who was joking with his wife. Then he looked at Wan Sheng again and asked directly, Do you want me to go to Manchester City to play for another year?

After being dismantled by one sentence, Wan Sheng was a little embarrassed, but he suppressed the embarrassment and shook his head, I hope you can come to my team, but not purely as a player.

Oh?

Dennis, have you thought about what you will do after retirement?

Bergkamp didn't know how to answer. He really didn't think about the problems after retirement. He could only spend more time with his wife and children, and then think about what to do. Anyway, he was not short of money, and he had enough savings for many years. He has lived a good life for a few years, and he has never worried about what to do. With his career experience, it is not difficult to find a football-related job.

So he answered honestly, I didn't think about it.

Wan Sheng stared into his eyes and asked, You're going to do football-related work, right?

Bergkamp nodded.

But what exactly are you doing? Arsenal club probably won't give you a job position. Back in the Netherlands, it will be difficult for you to find a good job position. I'm right.

Bergkamp nodded again, he knew that Wansheng was referring to the work in various departments of the football club. That kind of work requires professionalism and is not something that ordinary people can do. As a professional player, he can only do some work with players. Work related to training.

Then the answer came out, it can only be the football coach.

He looked at Wansheng and didn't understand why the Chinese said all this. Wan Sheng had confidence in his heart. He said, Dennis, consider helping me, how about you? I can promise that when you have experience, I will give you an assistant coach position.

Bergkamp was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Wan Sheng to say that.

Don't underestimate an assistant coach position!

Even for a very famous player, it is difficult to work as an assistant coach at a top-flight club after retirement, even for a club that he has played for his entire life.

Bergkamp played for Arsenal for 11 years, but he retired and wanted to become Arsenal's assistant coach. , does not have professional ability, for example, he can only find an assistant coaching job in some small teams, or simply go to coach the youth team, which slowly accumulates experience, with the experience of being a former star, five years, ten years Years later, he will be eligible to coach a professional team alone.

This is still in good condition.

This is too far from being an assistant coach of a top-level league team. An assistant coach of a top-level league team can even be qualified to coach a second-level league team. For example, the current Premier League coaches Hughes and McClellan have both Experience as an assistant coach at Ferguson.

Wansheng is no better than Ferguson, but his success is certain.

He has led Derby County and Manchester City to win the league title and served as his assistant coach, which is far worse than not being in the top giants.

Bergkamp has no experience as an assistant coach. It is impossible for him to directly serve as an assistant coach, learn some coaching experience with Wan Sheng, and obtain a coaching qualification certificate by the way. All these also take time.

So Wansheng's promise, 'When you have experience, I will give you an assistant coach position', is very attractive to any retired star who wants to work as a coach. ,

Bergkamp hesitated.

He knows that this is a very good opportunity that may affect the rest of his life, so he must make a decision after careful consideration.

Wan Sheng was not in a hurry, just waited quietly.

Bergkamp's wife Herita and Anita walked over, and Herita asked, What are you talking about?

It's nothing, just chat.

Bergkamp smiled and rubbed his son Mitchell's head again. It could be seen that his family was very warm.

Anita said to Wan Sheng, You two men can talk here, we are going shopping together.

Go, remember not to come back too late. Wan Sheng urged like a husband.

Anita shyly kissed Wan Sheng's cheek, and then left with Helita. Before leaving, Helita told Bergkamp to take care of her young son, Don't let him run around, now Munich is almost completely gone. too messy.

Bergkamp nodded and watched his wife leave with Anita.

Then he suddenly turned his head and asked, What about before? I mean, before officially becoming an assistant coach.

You can come to Manchester City on a free transfer and I don't think the club will deny you a one-year contract.

Wan Sheng laughed.

Bergkamp was a little stunned, and the question seemed to come back again, but he couldn't say the words of rejection directly.

The temptation to go to Manchester City as an assistant coach is too great. The young Chinese in front of him have excellent coaching ability. If he serves as his assistant coach, he will definitely benefit from coaching the team.

But the premise is that he needs to join Manchester City as a free agent... It's a tough choice.

At this moment, Wan Sheng said jokingly, Maybe your regret at Arsenal can be made up for by my team. It's only a year, but maybe you can win the Champions League?

Bergkamp didn't say anything. He wasn't interested in Wansheng's Championship Champions League. He didn't think Manchester City had a chance to win the championship. Let alone strength, it was the first time Manchester City participated in the Champions League in recent years.

Arsenal have participated in the Champions League so many times, or will they finally break down in the final and change to Manchester City to win the championship?

Maybe he let himself go to Manchester City because of his European experience?

After thinking about it for a while, Bergkamp still couldn't make a decision. He only said, I'll discuss it with Helita, and I'll give you the answer tomorrow. The women are gone, leaving us two men, or Go to a bar, there is a bar opposite, the environment is not bad, in recent days, there are always many enthusiastic Dutch fans there. (To be continued~^~)
