Chapter 1 Ensemble Training

July 5th was the day when the Derby County team reconvened for training. Before that, some players had already arrived in the town of Great Derby County early.

It was not Bolton Reiter, Alfred, Ivan Crewe and others who came here. After the training camp last season, they already knew that coming a few days in advance would have no effect except for some personal training. And the vacation is short, thinking about how hard the training camp would be, even a player like Alfred who trained hard didn't come early.

Here comes the new player, Van der Vaart.

Van der Vaart was the first of the new players to report to Derby County. This may be because his transfer was completed relatively early. After the Dutch national team's European Cup trip, he came to the club for a medical examination a few days later. .

Van der Vaart is the captain of Ajax. This title sounds very bluffing, but in fact, he is only 21 years old. This is his first time to play for another league team, and he is still somewhat uneasy. He is a star who became famous at a young age, but his mentality is no different from that of other young players.

The Derby County club quickly arranged for Van der Vaart's medical examination, which was passed without any doubt.

Passing the medical examination also meant that Van der Vaart officially became a Derby County club player, and he soon saw Wansheng.

Wansheng's life has been very relaxed recently.

Before the club's training camp, it's all holiday time. Except for the occasional visit to the club to pay attention to the transfer situation, ask the team's scouts and staff for some unsigned player information, analyze which players are useful to Derby County, etc., except Outside of these jobs, his life is very relaxed. He did not expect Van der Vaart to come so early. This is also good news, indicating that Van der Vaart has begun to look forward to the new season impatiently.

This is the second time the two have met.

Wan Sheng smiled and shook hands with Van der Vaart, welcoming him to the Derby County Club. And then the first words he said to Van der Vaart were, "Raphael, I believe in your success here!"

Van der Vaart was still a little apprehensive when he saw Wan Sheng.

The two times they met were completely different. The last time Wan Sheng invited him to Derby County Club, and now Wan Sheng has become his manager.

When I saw Wansheng for the first time. Van der Vaart just felt that the Derby County manager was really young. Wan Sheng left him with a good impression, because Wan Sheng didn't say anything hypocritical, just directly talked about the benefits of Van der Vaart's move to Derby County. Van der Vaart was very relaxed at the time, but now he is a little nervous when he sees Wan Sheng again. Well, after all, think about the young coach in front of you. Definitely someone who has the power to decide his fate in Derby County. So he seemed less comfortable and active.

But Van der Vaart heard confidence in Wan Sheng's words, as if he was sure he could perform well, which gave Van der Vaart a feeling of being trusted.

So he also had a smile on his face and felt much more relaxed.

Wan Sheng took Van der Vaart to familiarize himself with the club's training grounds and facilities. They walked and chatted while waiting for the signing ceremony arranged by the club to start. After half an hour, everything was ready, and Wan Sheng took Van der Vaart to the signing ceremony venue.

The signing ceremony venue is where the club holds its press conference. When the two walked in, there were already many reporters in the venue. Many other reporters heard that the young captain of Ajax had joined Derby County, and they also rushed over to interview.

In fact, Van der Vaart was hardly famous in England.

Not to mention England, outside of the Netherlands, Van der Vaart is not famous at all, because he is still very young and has no outstanding performance. Dutch fans gave Van der Vaart the title of 'Golden Boy' because of him. Young, and he's the captain of Ajax.

Many media reporters also came for the title of 'Ajax captain'.

However, after meeting Van der Vaart at the venue, the media reporters found that the so-called 'Ajax captain' was really very young. Even if they knew Van der Vaart's age, how could such a young 'Ajax captain' be specific? Imagine how much moisture there is.

So many media reporters are a little cold.

Fortunately, the local media in Derby County are still enthusiastic. For them, it is a great thing to have an 'Ajax captain' join the team, no matter how serious the 'captain' is. Dare to imagine that this kind of star can join Derby County, they can only buy some ordinary players, the transfer of 7 million euros is already the largest in the history of Derby County.

Van der Vaart felt the enthusiasm of the local media, and he felt very good, but soon a foreign media reporter asked a question, "Mr. Van der Vaart, why did you choose Derby County Club?"

Hearing this question, Wan Sheng didn't feel anything at all.

But he didn't expect Van der Vaart to answer like this, "If I can go to Arsenal, Manchester United, it must be a wonderful trip, but I can't go there at the moment, so I can only come to Derby County, because now Derby County is the most suitable my team."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Wansheng, "The coach convinced me, so I'm here."

Many people at the venue frowned, even Wansheng. In his previous life, he saw some news describing Van der Vaal's character as 'rebellious' and 'frank'. Well, yes, it's normal for a professional player to think that way, but on this occasion, joining Derby County's signing ceremony, it's not quite right to say that.

Van der Vaart continued to speak as if he didn't feel anything. Fortunately, he didn't say any more sensitive words next, which made Wan Sheng take a deep breath, and those media reporters who came here felt that just one sentence was enough. This can be understood as, "As long as Manchester United and Arsenal want Van der Vaart, he will leave immediately. Derby County is just a springboard for him."

However, some media satirized Van der Vaart for talking big.

This so-called 'Ajax captain' performed mediocrely in Ajax. It is hard to say whether he can be worth 7 million euros. It is too early to say that he wants to go to Manchester United or Arsenal.

......

After Van der Vaart, Karachi, Lichtsteiner and Vidic also came to the team respectively. Because Lichtsteiner was not well-known, the Derby County Club held the same signing ceremony for them without bias. Welcome them 's arrival

Karachi is a 32-year-old veteran, he is still very stable, his worth is neither high nor low. Coming to the team is to replace Oaks. Everyone knows that to be a stable goalkeeper, so Karachi's joining was uneventful, and there is nothing special to say.

Lichtsteiner is because of the relationship between fame and wealth. Not at all paid attention to by the media.

at the signing ceremony. Lichtsteiner also seemed a little shy, and his answers were very brief. Generally speaking, the agent told him what to say, and he would say what he would say. He had no opinions or ideas of his own, and the media would naturally not criticize him. , because in the opinion of the media. Lichtsteiner's arrival is Wansheng to supplement the team's lineup.

However, Vidic, who is worth 5.6 million euros, has been questioned by many media. Vidic is absolutely unknown in the whole of Europe. He was a young man and was a typical talented player in Serbia, but he was only a Serbian talent. Even if he wore the armband of the Red Star Belgrade team captain at a young age and had high hopes from the Red Star Belgrade team, it was nothing more than that. Whether he can adapt to the Premier League and whether he can perform in the top league is still a suspense. At this point, 5.6 million euros is too expensive.

Even the local media in Derby County deliberately made things difficult for Vidic.

But what many media reporters did not expect is that. Vidic didn't say much, and the expression on his face during the signing ceremony didn't seem to have changed. He just answered one question after another slowly, and when expressing his longing for the new season, the answer was also very decent.

This left a lot of people speechless.

So the media marked Vidic with a mark - 'young and mature'. Compared with Van der Vaart, who is also a 'captain', Vidic is definitely much calmer.

......

The day before the reunion training, new players such as Van der Vaart and Vidic also met and got to know each other. They also played a few balls on the training ground together. At the same time, they also discussed Derby County and the ball together. Team head coach Wan Sheng.

The discussion of Derby County mainly focused on Derby County's results last season. Before they joined Derby County, they only knew that Derby County was a newly-promoted horse. When they came to Derby County, they realized how amazing Derby County played last season. 's results.

But these surprises did not come as much as the collective training this morning.

As new players, they must not be late, but they never thought that no Derby County player was late, not even a day late. The training ground that was empty yesterday was already full the next morning. People, when the coach called, no one was absent.

This reflects the discipline of a team. Many teams have discipline, but how many can really do this?

Wan Sheng looked serious.

Looking at the group of players in front of him and staring at them carefully for a long time, Wan Sheng said, "I hope you all remember what I said during the holiday."

Several players immediately bowed their heads in guilt.

Wan Sheng ignored the players' reactions, and directly asked Van der Vaart and other four new players to stand in front of everyone, and then introduced them to everyone one by one. Everyone would applaud and welcome each new player introduced, but throughout the process, Wan Sheng's expression did not change at all. .

Finally, the introduction of new players is over, and the "symbolic" physical test of the new season has also begun.

Like last season, Diamares took everyone to the team doctor for a physical test, while Wansheng returned to the office to sort out the physical fitness data of each player, and then printed out the physical fitness training plan prepared before. In the training plan of each player, during the week of collective training, the only thing the team has to do is to resume physical training.

In this kind of personal recovery training, if some players maintain a good body during the vacation, the training will naturally be very easy, and some players do not pay attention to their bodies during the vacation, so what awaits them is a week of hard work.

After everyone finished the physical test, Wan Sheng took the test results of each player, just glanced at them, and distributed a lot of training plans to the players.

Not long after, when all the players understood the content of their training for the next week, there was a wailing sound on the training ground.
