Chapter Twenty-Eight, Training

As Kim Tiger became more and more familiar with the team, he now entered a very sweet honeymoon period with the team. The players have a very good appetite for this seemingly friendly and cheerful head coach. After experiencing the high pressure during the Ferguson period, everyone agrees with Jin Taige's coaching style, and Jin Taige's coaching philosophy to everyone is "enjoy football", so those players with aura have shown their own personality on the training ground. The time training ground has really become a venue for players to enjoy football.

But Jin Taige frowned a little at the performance of the players. After a training session, Jin Taige kept all the players, and this time he showed a rare serious expression: "I let you enjoy football, not to let you fight alone or disregard the cooperation of the team, look at you guys. The performance of the two-day training game was simply terrible!"

The players were very surprised. They didn't understand why the coach was so angry.

Jin Taige pointed to the goal in the distance: "According to your way of playing, even if you meet a team at the bottom of the Premier League, you will be poured into two or three goals by the opponent!"

All the players stopped talking, and everyone had their own concerns.

Jin Taige calmed down and whispered: "I hope tomorrow, I can see you in a different state than you are now. Today's training is over, disband!"

After that, Jin Taige walked out of the training ground without looking back.

After walking more than 100 meters, Jin Taige heard someone following behind him: "Captain, what happened to you today?"

Jin Taige slowed down a bit, and Scholes caught up behind him: "Why are you so angry?"

Jin Taige sighed: "Paul, are you wrong about the idea of ​​'enjoying football' I told them?"

Scholes said firmly: "Captain, I think your concept is right. If you don't enjoy football, how can you continue on this road? There are many hard-working players, but they can truly enjoy football. There are not many players, and I very much agree with the captain's philosophy."

"But you also saw it, how did they play in the two-day training game?"

Scholes glanced back, made sure there was no one around, and then whispered, "Captain, I think their desire for a championship seems to be slowly fading."

"Oh?" Jin Taige was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered the once brilliant teams, such as Inter Milan during Mourinho's time, and Milan during Ancelotti's time. They won everything, but after the coach left , the results plummeted. Many people say it's the new coach's problem, but Kim Tiger knows in his heart that the team has won everything, and their desire for championships will slowly disappear. Could it be that Manchester United are also facing this situation now?

With this doubt, Jin Taige observed the training situation of the players for several days in a row. He found that the state of his players seemed to be getting better, but Jin Taige knew in his heart that with this level, he would never win the Premier League championship next season. of.

Time is advancing day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it is mid to late July. The board of directors arranged for Manchester United to go to East Asia to make money a year in advance, and then play a few friendly matches. Although the opponents in the friendly match are very weak, this is also a good opportunity to train troops. Jin Taige took his players to East Asia by special plane to participate in the business activities organized by the club.

In fact, Jin Taige is very disgusted with this kind of business activity, but he can't do anything about it. After all, it was decided a year ago, and it can't be changed now. After several days of business activities, not to mention the players, even Jin Tiger felt a little tired. Therefore, he specially proposed to the team leader to take a day off in order to meet tomorrow's friendly match.

It was Woodward who led the team. His trip was very rewarding. Seeing the large amount of banknotes coming into his account, Woodward couldn't close his mouth with laughter. Hearing Jin Taige's request, he agreed with the flow. .

Their trip this time from Thailand to Hong Kong, and finally to Japan, played three friendly matches with three clubs. The three clubs are Thailand Singamas All-Star Team, Osaka Sakura and Hong Kong Zhijie.

Woodward didn't understand why Jin Tiger was still so cautious when facing such three underdogs in East Asia. However, Jin Taige told him that football games are changing rapidly, and there are many commercial activities this summer, so he valued these three friendly matches very much.

Jin Taige decided on the starting team a day in advance.

Since Jin Taige took over the team, he has not made too many changes to the team's formation and playing style, and still continues the 4-4-2 formation. After all, the players are familiar with this routine. If you change the formation and play style easily, it will easily backfire. Jin Taige is very confident that as long as he can strengthen in key positions, Manchester United will still be a strong contender for the Premier League title next season.

The goalkeeper position is undoubtedly De Gea; the defender, Ferdinand and Vidic form the middle partner, Evra is on the left and Rafael is on the right; on the midfield line, Carrick and Anderson are in the middle, one responsible for organizing, One is responsible for the forward attack; the left and right are Giggs and Nani respectively; the forward line is the headed forward Rooney and last season's Premier League golden boot Van Persie.

This friendly match did not set a limit on the number of substitutes and substitutions, so Jin Taige signed up everyone as a substitute.

This is the main starting lineup that Manchester United won the Premier League championship last season. Jin Tiger wants to test whether this lineup can support the journey of the new season.

But at the Osaka Athletic Stadium in Japan a day later, this lineup made Jin Taige frown.

What is going on now is the first friendly match against Manchester United's Singh Lions All-Star team. This team brings together the best star players in the entire Thai league, but even so, Jin Taige and Manchester United players can't name their opponents. Keep an eye on it. At the beginning of the game, Manchester United attacked aggressively, pressing the opponent in the half, and couldn't breathe at all.

This friendly match was like a practice match at the Carrington training base a few days ago. Almost every Manchester United player came up with his own housekeeping skills. Anderson, who wears the No. 8 jersey, is the core of the team's offense. He shoots from a tricky angle for several consecutive long shots. Although he didn't score, he still looks like a winner and never tires of it; Nani on the wing just played a game. After a good show of three people, he shot a long-range shot from the edge of the small penalty area. The fans in the audience gave a deafening applause, while Nani waved to the fans as if he had scored a goal.

Other players are also very eager to show, and all kinds of tricks continue, but...

20 minutes into the second half, the score is still 0-0.
