Zhang Kuang smiled. He might not really know how to do it before, but since he had a youth training plan and a Hong Kong Team reconstruction plan, he has read through all the football training books.
He originally wanted to improve a training method by combining cultivation and footwork, but then he thought about it and decided that it was too scary, so he decided not to do it.
So he gathered a group of top personal coaching teams and prepared to carry out regular testing and formulate training plans specifically for his youth training players.
Shane was shocked. "Zhang, are you saying that you have a systematic training method that can improve my technical and tactical level to at least the level of a substitute in the five major leagues?"
He is 21 years old. He can indeed play as a main substitute in a second-tier league like EFL Championship, but it is difficult for him to move up. He cannot even be a main player, let alone a substitute in the five major leagues like Premier League.
"I know a group of training masters, and I am going to hire them to be a cooperative team for my youth training plan. I can ask them to conduct regular free testing for you and develop a training plan to improve your body, technology, decision-making and other aspects.
Of course, I also have some superficial experience that I can communicate with you, and I can even accompany you in confrontation training."
Zhang Kuang smiled. He did not speak. Instead, he pulled out a video from his phone and pushed it in front of Shane.
"Look at my team, and you will know how good they are." Shane watched the video, then looked up at Zhang Kuang, and then smiled.
"Okay, I have no problem, I agree to fight side by side with you."
"Okay, then welcome!"
First stop, done.
The next step is to fly from Birmingham to Brussels, then transfer to Leuven, and convince Cris Kang.
He lives in a small apartment in the suburbs of Belgium Leuven.
The 22-year-old Belgium Chinese father is from Hong Kong and his mother is from Belgium. His apartment is not big, and there is a PS4 and a bunch of scattered game disks in the living room.
It is easier to deal with Cris Kang. After all, his conditions are far worse than Shane. Playing for the national team can improve his skills and business, so he is more likely to be tempted.
Then I came back from Belgium and flew to Wigan to meet Chow Ting-yang's parents. Chow Ting-yang's parents were waiting for them outside the youth training base of Wigan Athletic.
The 16-year-old boy is almost 180cm tall, his body looks very strong, and his face still has the youthfulness that is unique to teenagers.
His parents are also very anxious because Wigan Athletic internally evaluates him. If his skills do not improve within three years, the upper limit will be the level of EFL Championship's main substitute. But if his skills improve, it is difficult to say.
Because all the skills that need to be taught have been taught in several years of youth training, those with good talent have already learned it and their skills are very good. For those with poor talent, to be honest, there is a limit to how much more they can practice.
Therefore, facing such a player who has been sentenced to the upper limit, all it takes is a little temptation to get it done.
On the way back, He Qigang was sitting in the passenger seat, flipping through his phone.
"The details of the contract with Shane·Lowry have almost been discussed," he said. "Chow Ting-yang's parents basically agree, and the contract with Josh·Chen is almost done. The only thing missing is Xu Xin, as well as Josh·Chen and Jack·Xu."
"Mainland players are difficult to deal with." Zhang Kuang was sitting in the back row playing with his mobile phone. "Xu Xin over there, I heard that Wanda is also contacting him. They have their own ideas.
Let's go and make contact first. If you are interested, we can continue to talk in depth and see if we can help him eliminate his concerns. If not, there is nothing we can do. Some players from the mainland have a chain of interests behind them if they can come out for a trip. If we steal their players, we may not be able to have good relations with him in the future."
"Indeed, I think it is not important for the players from the mainland to be naturalized without these Chinese players. I will go and play around with Madrid, and then I will fly Australia, Jack·A-League main players like Xu are already stronger in combat. Although they have been finalized, they are still better than Hong Kong players."
He Qigang writes and draws on his mobile phone profile.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
"What's so hard about this? Everything is for the development of Hong Kong Football Team." He Qigang nodded and made a note on his phone. "Okay, then only Josh·Chen is left."
"Then go to Netherlands first..."
Josh·Chen lives in the center of Amsterdam, in an old apartment near the canal.
Netherlands, a 19-year-old Chinese-American, whose grandfather is Guangdong and whose father is a third-generation Chinese-American, can no longer speak Chinese. Josh himself cannot speak Chinese and communicated in English throughout the process.
It is not difficult to deal with these Chinese people, because they cannot enter the local national team, and their skills are not good enough. It is rare to hear of any Chinese people becoming the main force of the national team of a powerful football country.
The reason is that they will be ostracized and will not receive sufficient training and trust in technical and tactical skills.
For example, as a defender, you feel that your skills are up to standard in training, but in actual combat, as long as you lose the ball, you will be scolded by the entire defense, and you are a scapegoat. From then on, your psychology will be distorted. You will be nervous when you get the ball, and you will make mistakes when you are nervous. Once you make a mistake, you will be ostracized by the team.
For the same reason, it is difficult for Chinese forwards to gain trust. Sometimes when a top forward is growing up, he needs to be constantly fed, and then wastes opportunities, and slowly grows up.
Cristiano Ronaldo How many opportunities did he waste before he fully matured? How much criticism did he get from his teammates? He just knows how to shoot after holding the ball.
The key is that if he doesn't shoot too much, can he grow in actual combat?
Manchester United's Nani also learned the same trick as Cristiano Ronaldo, holding the ball and shooting wildly. Unfortunately, Nani is not Cristiano Ronaldo and has not grown up.
Ferguson has been conniving at Nani's ejaculation, but what about Dong Fangzhuo? Did Ferguson give him a chance to ejaculate?
No.
Not to mention the opportunity to waste shots, I just gave up after watching him a few times in team training matches.
That's the difference.
When there are no top Chinese forwards active in world football, the entire football world will think that Chinese people do not have the genes to be top forwards, so from the bottom of their hearts they will think that it is not possible, let alone give opportunities to Chinese players.
This is the case for these Chinese players. In fact, they could have grown higher, but something restricted them.
This is definitely not racial theory, saying that yellow people are inherently inferior to black and white people. If this is true, look at World Cup in 2022 and 2026. Are Japanese and Korean football players worse than Europe? They will even be better in horizontal comparison, right?
Apart from the fact that there are no super top football superstars, the level of ordinary national football players is no worse than that of ordinary international football players from Europe countries.
What does this mean?
It's not because of race.
In this time and space, with the goal-scoring machine Zhang Kuang, I believe there will be more opportunities for Chinese players in the future, and some head coaches will be more willing to give some Chinese players a chance to try and make mistakes.
The day after returning to Manchester, Manchester United's contract extension was delivered to Zhang Kuang.
The weekly salary is 210,000 pounds, the new signing fee is 3 million, and the bonus terms are also very generous. The Premier League championship bonus is 500,000, and the UEFA Champions League championship bonus is 1 million. Personal awards such as the Golden Boot Award and the Best Player are similar to the first contract, with a slight increase.
It can be said that the brokerage company is quite good and helped him obtain a slightly higher actual profit. It is probably because Manchester United saw that the performance in the past three months was so good that he simply did not bargain.
Zhang Kuang After reading the contract and signing it, he now does not need to compete for how much money he will make, nor does he need to compete for the highest salary in the team. Even if he has become the team's top scorer and first assister in the past three months, he does not need to compete.
Because the market is profit-driven, when a player who can help the team create a large number of goals and assists appears, the team that needs to win the championship will make an offer and take action.
If you don't offer the most appropriate price to the players, players are not fools. For example, I helped the team score 30 league goals and 10 UEFA Champions League goals in one season. Why the hell do you give me a salary that is not among the top three in the team? Even the people in the league who have half as much information as me have higher salaries than me?
Are you really suffocating for your dreams as a player? Do you really think that everyone is Wenger? Are you using your dreams to ignore the success of your players every year?
It's a pity that Arsenal also failed to cheat, top players will still run away.
Zhang Kuang signed a new contract, which indicates that Rooney also renewed his contract, which should be the weekly salary of 230,000 pounds in his memory.
Zhang Kuang doesn't spend all his time on football.
During the international match day, he went to Paris three times.
Paris also has the house he rents and a lot of female friends. Although he will occasionally come back to communicate with these female friends, it is not as refreshing as being together for many days in a row.
In addition to these female friends, he also met some of Auxerre's teammates and had dinner with them. Especially Hengbart, this loyal partner, took him to see some people quietly. Generally speaking, they were worse than the few he had been in contact with.
Those few are top-notch in terms of appearance and figure.
October 16, Old Trafford.
Premier League In the 8th round, Manchester United plays against West Bromwich at home.
Before the game, a reporter asked Ferguson: "Will Rooney start?"
Ferguson chewed gum and said expressionlessly, "It depends on the situation, even if he doesn't start, he will definitely be on the roster."
The reporter refused to give up. "Didn't I hear that he and the club have reached an agreement on a new contract?"
Ferguson glanced at him, his eyes as cold as Scotland Highlands in winter.
"You have to ask the club about this. I am only responsible for arranging suitable players to play."
The reporter shut up knowingly.
Finally, Ferguson's starting lineup made a lot of people think deeply: Rooney was on the bench.
433 is like this: Van der Sar (goalkeeper), Rafael (right back), Ferdinand (center back), Vidić (captain, center back), Evra (left back), Anderson (midfielder), Carrick (midfielder), Giggs (midfielder), Nani (right winger), Berbatov (forward), Zhang Kuang (left winger).
Rooney is back, which means he has signed a new contract with Manchester United.
As soon as the game was about to start, Manchester United released a new announcement on the website. Many players, including Rooney, updated their new contracts, including Zhang Kuang.
The reporters all saw it on their mobile phones. What they didn't expect was why Zhang Kuang also updated the contract. After everyone browsed the relevant introduction, they discovered that this was a salary structure adjustment for all players by Manchester United. No wonder.
Zhang Kuang stood in the player tunnel, looking at the player West Brom opposite, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
This was not because the opponent was strong. West Brom had 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in the first 7 rounds, ranking 12th, so its strength was mediocre, but because he found that the mental state of the two teams was completely wrong.
The players of West Brom are more energetic and full of fighting spirit. On the other hand, the players of Manchester United are a bit sluggish, with numb expressions on their faces.
During the international match day, there are many national team players in the Manchester United team, so the FIFA virus has some influence.
"How are you doing today?" Zhang Kuang asked Berbatov next to him.
"It's okay, why, I don't look like I'm in good spirits?"
"Not so much." Zhang Kuang said with a smile.
"Really? Don't worry, I can still play at the highest level during the game."
Zhang Kuang smiled.
Nani next to him wanted to participate in the chat with Zhang Kuang, but Zhang Kuang always ignored him, rarely interacted with each other on the court, and basically did not pass the ball to each other.
Regarding this issue, Ferguson had talked to both of them respectively.
Zhang Kuang didn't say anything, he just said that the two of them often played one on the left and the other on the right, so they couldn't pass the ball to each other. Sometimes when he played center, maybe Nani didn't have a good passing opportunity.
He said it very euphemistically, which meant that there was really no way to interact when each played on one side, but when I played center, Nani never passed the ball to me.
What's Nani's answer? Pretty much. It just means that when Zhang Kuang plays center, he always wants to pass the ball well, but it's always unsatisfactory.
There are actually two reasons. One is that he is not convinced by Zhang Kuang, and the other is that Zhang Kuang may be Cristiano Ronaldo's competitor. With his relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, how can he help Zhang Kuang brush up his information?
Of course, some people in the team have advised Nani that if he cannot have a chemical reaction with Zhang Kuang, he will have fewer opportunities to play in the future, because Zhang Kuang is the main player all year round. How can a winger who cannot assist the forwards let you play often?
So Nani was also very conflicted. He wanted to slightly ease the invisible stalemate with Zhang Kuang, but found that the other party didn't care at all, so he didn't want to be hot-faced and cold-hearted.
For the first five minutes of the game, everything was normal.
Manchester United controls the rhythm, West Brom shrinks the defense, and Zhang Kuang doesn't get the ball on the left many times, but it's a threat every time it gets the ball.
In the 5th minute, Berbatov picked up the ball in the middle, attracting the attention of the two central defenders West Brom. Olsson came up and Tamaș helped defend from the side.
Berbatov didn't force himself. He kept his eyes on the left road, where there was a red shadow cutting forward at high speed.
Zhang Kuang.
Berbatov knocked with his heel, and the ball passed through Olsson's crotch and rolled accurately to the left side of the penalty area.
Zhang Kuang rushed over and shot the ball directly without stopping the ball.
The ball flew towards the near corner of the goal like a cannonball.
West Brom Goalkeeper Carson made a save, but the ball was too powerful and went under his arm and into the goal.
1:0.
"GOAL!!! Zhang Kuang!!!" Martin·Tyler shouted, "This is his 16th league goal this season! 16 goals in 8 games! This efficiency is the only one in the five major leagues!"
"Berbatov's condition today didn't look the best, but that's it, he can still assist." Rob Hawthorn said, "Ordinary players need to be in good condition to score goals, and stars can also score goals when they are in bad condition."
Zhang Kuang did not make the iconic "Siu" celebration, but just ran over and gave Berbatov a high-five.
Berbato's expression was calm, even a little tired. But he still smiled heartily.
"I told you that my spirit must be great when I get to the court, right?"
"Yes, yes, it's still the same artist."
In the 25th minute, Zhang Kuang scored the second goal.
This time it's not cooperation, it's his personal performance.
West Brom Midfielder Scharner got the ball in the backcourt, and Zhang Kuang suddenly rushed over from the side.
Scharner reacted quickly and turned his body to try to protect the ball.
But Zhang Kuang is faster.
He passed by Scharner like a gust of wind, and with a tap of his toes, the ball came to his feet.
Scharner fell to the ground and raised his hand to signal a foul.
The referee didn't call it.
Zhang Kuang pushed the ball to the left, and West Brom's right back Jara and center back Olsson rushed over at the same time.
Zhang Kuang is not slowing down.
He moved his left foot, the ball passed under Jara's crotch, his body passed around from the right side, and the ball passed.
Olsson had no time to defend himself, so he could only reach out and pull.
Zhang Kuang's shoulders sank, and Olsson's hands were shaken away.
He raised his right foot on the left side of the penalty area, about 35 meters away from the goal.
It's not a pass, it's a shot.
The ball drew a strange arc, as if being pulled by some force, first flying to the left, then suddenly turning to the right, and drilling into the upper right corner of the goal.
Carson was stunned.
He pounced, but missed.
2:0.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Oh my god!!! World wave!!!" Martin·Tyler's voice was out of control, "World wave 35 meters away, Zhang Kuang scored his 17th league goal this season!"
"The arc of this ball is so weird," Rob Hawthorn said, "It seemed like it was hit by something and suddenly changed direction. Carson didn't judge the right line at all."
"This is the superstar," Martin·Tyler said, "They can always score some goals that people can't understand."
He Wei: "It's in, it's in, it's in. Zhang Kuang scored twice. He scored twice in just 25 minutes. Is he going to perform a hat trick today?"
Xu Yang: "Judging from the current defensive level of West Brom against Zhang Kuang, I'm afraid we can't stop Zhang Kuang's hat trick.
This is the weakest defense against Zhang Kuang that I have seen so far. How could West Brom relax its control over Zhang Kuang so much? You must know that Zhang Kuang is a super nuclear weapon."
He Wei: "Ah, you want to complain about West Brom?"
Xu Yang: "No, I think they don't respect Zhang Kuang and will pay a huge price for it, and Zhang Kuang's two goals so far are their price."
He Wei:"Yes, that's right, there will probably be a third goal."
In the stands of Old Trafford, the fans have gone crazy.
"SupersupersuperZhang! SupersupersuperZhang!"
The singing was loud and loud.
On West Brom's bench, head coach Di Matteo's face was ashen.
He originally thought that Manchester United might be in poor form after the international break and would be a good opportunity to steal points. But these two goals from Zhang Kuang completely shattered his illusions.
If his tactics are wrong, he will probably be criticized by the media and fans, right?
We need to change our tactics quickly. We need to prevent this Chinese Zhang from scoring again in the first half, and then make some careful adjustments in the midfield.
However, the unexpected happened earlier than planned.
When everyone thought Zhang Kuang would score a hat trick, he failed to score the third goal because he had no good opportunities and no good assists.
