Chapter 717 Youth Training Camp to Go Abroad

During the few days of vacation, David was refreshed, but when he returned to the club, he felt full. Hunting 『』 NET

Really afraid of what will happen, the three main players returned to Notts County without going to the training base and were directly sent to the medical center.

Ribery's muscles had not recovered in particular, but this time he was injured again in the national team game, but fortunately, it was not serious, and he only needed to rest for two weeks;

Mascherano had the same problem, plus Lescott was honorably injured in England.

After the other players traveled a long distance and played one or two intense games, they rushed back over the mountains, not to mention their competitive state, their physical fitness was obviously poor.

Loew really scratched his head this time. This kind of situation has only just started, and there is no one left!

If it is replaced by other giants, the main lineup may be all international players, but most of the substitute lineup may be missed by the national team roster, so that after the FIFA game day, although it is difficult, it will not be unusable.

But the current situation in Notts County is that, no matter the main force or the substitute, few people can meet the requirements of the game, which is really annoying.

And the upcoming league made Loew stretched out on the formation!

The first team picks and chooses, and there is no way to put together a lineup with good physical condition, or let the players grit their teeth and persist, but in this way, the chances of players getting injured will be greatly increased in a state of exhaustion. Notts County There are already three players on the injured list, and if someone is injured, Loew will probably cry to death!

Either a few players in good physical condition will play with the reserve team, but the strength of the reserve team can be imagined. It is estimated that the level of the middle class of the British Championship is at most. I am afraid that the result of the game will be difficult to guarantee!

Or simply give up the game and let the youth team players feel the atmosphere of the game?

This is a good idea, but now the oldest echelon in the youth academy is the U17, but most of the young players are only 16 years old. Although their personal skills are not necessarily inferior to the British players, their game experience, reading ability, physical confrontation, etc. The overall situation is at a disadvantage.

In a fierce confrontation with adults, young players are prone to injuries. If a serious injury occurs at this age, it is likely to affect the entire career, so this decision must be cautious.

In addition, the appearance of small players is likely to bring a fiasco. For Notts County,

It’s already a given up game, it doesn’t matter what the loss is, but for the young players, I am afraid that their self-confidence will be severely hit. From a psychological point of view, it is not conducive to the growth of the young players, at least their psychology is not fully Mature.

So Loew hesitated.

Since I don't have a good idea, I just go to a professional for consultation, and this professional is naturally Notts County's youth training director Rick Link.

Love and David came to the youth training camp together. David is a regular visitor, but it is not uncommon for him to come to the youth training base. However, Love does not come to the youth training base very often. Seeing Love, the young players are full of enthusiasm. The team is now Everyone is very clear about the situation, so the purpose of Loew's coming here is self-evident.

Walking into Rick Link's office, Loew said directly: "Yang, I think you should know my purpose, now the players of the first team are not in good physical condition, I don't plan to let the first team in the next league. The players are the main force. If there are suitable players in the youth academy who can play, then we can let them feel the atmosphere of the game in England, but if you think the young players have not reached the level of playing in the UK, then I will send them. The reserve team is out!"

Rick Link is obviously well prepared and confidently said: "Yua, if you don't consider the results of the game, then we have a few small players who are qualified to play, and I hope they can play early to feel the atmosphere of the game. , this is very good for their growth!"

"Walcott, a good little guy, his speed is amazing. Although he is a little thin, he may become a deadly threat in the counterattack. Although he has not yet reached the level of being fully established in the first team, it is still good to go on the field and feel the atmosphere. No problem, Arsene Wenger has been very interested in him recently and even scouts have approached the Walcott family."

Rick Link's first recommendation made David nodded. His previous life was the winter break of this season. Wenger introduced this young player at a high price. What is even more surprising is that England coach Eriksen Actually, Walcott was included in England's squad for the World Cup in Germany. You know, Walcott hadn't even played an English game at that time!

Loew obviously also knows this little player who is extremely fast. Although it is impossible to transfer him to the first team now, as Rick Link said, there is no problem in letting him play temporarily!

"Gareth Bale, with the same level of speed and stronger body than Walcott, I think he already has the ability to stand in the first team, and you may not have heard the news yet, Gareth Bale has It's a bit incredible to be selected for the new Welsh national team squad, you know, Gareth has never played a professional game!" Speaking of which, Rick Link showed an incredible expression.

Loew was also shocked. Who would have thought that international players could be born directly in the Notts County youth training camp!

But soon everyone was relieved. Everyone knows the strength of Wales. Except for a few people such as Giggs, there are not many powerful players at all. If Bell is really good, then it is really not impossible to be selected for the national team now. accepted things.

"Just look at him through this game. If he really has the ability to get a foothold in the first team, then he will stay in the first team. Although it is impossible to get a lot of playing time right away, it can still be done occasionally. Yes!" Loew said firmly, in the first team, he has absolute authority.

Next, Rick Link recommended several players, namely right back Azpilicueta and center back Smalling. Although these two players are also underage, their physical conditions are not too inferior to adult players. , at least have the ability to confront, and will not be easily injured.

And Loew has also made a decision, four youth training players, plus a few first-line players who have no problem with physical fitness, to supplement the reserve team players, using such a lineup to welcome the next league, the probability of losing may be very high , but it is meaningful to be able to train young players without affecting the overall situation.
