Chapter 10: Coach—Charlotte
Pogba's future is very special. It may be said that his future development direction is the brain of the team.It is a bit similar to Pirlo's playmaker who retreats to play the role of commander, but he is more defensive than Pirlo and Harvey, so he can attack and retreat.

But as to whether he can really become that kind of character, it all depends on his own efforts.If he really becomes the organizer and the brain, he is definitely a general in the midfield, an absolute all-around midfielder.

Pogba is almost completely attracted by this plan, and no midfielder does not want to be a master like Pirlo and Harvey.

The black guy from France smiled. He felt that coming to Southampton was the right choice.This training plan is completely connected with himself, and this is his dream and the direction of his efforts.

Pogba looked at the head coach who was not much older than himself on the rostrum. He fully expected that he would grow up under the guidance of the other party.

But Sturridge, who is a little older, is more rational, although this information is very detailed and very in line with his goals.But this does not mean that he or the head coach has succeeded, which still needs to be tested.Didn't that so-and-so say that practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

Looking at their respective expressions below, Charlotte can basically guess what they are thinking.But as he said, this is not important, what matters is the future.

After Charlotte met the new players in the conference room, she introduced them to the players on the team.

However, the response was mixed. Players mainly including Lallana, Schneiderlin and Jose Fonte naturally hoped that more high-level teammates would join in, which shows that the club has ambitions, aspirations and competitiveness.

The other relatively mediocre players felt the crisis. The new young head coach brought seven new teammates at once, so these seven will definitely not come to dawdle, whether it is the main lineup or the rotation lineup, These seven people must occupy seven positions.

Then the problem comes, on excavator technology. Uh, bah bah.The club itself currently has 23 players in the first team, and if these seven players come, it will become 30 players. Although there are many games in the British Championship, they will definitely not need [-] players.

Then, if someone comes, someone must leave. Everyone has speculated who will be the second player to leave after Do Prado?
This suspense did not last long. After this day's training session, Tunisian defender Jaidi found the club. He expressed the hope that he could return to Tunisia to play for one to two years, and then he would consider retiring.

As a 36-year-old veteran, he saw everything very clearly. After seeing Gary Monk, Mustafi and Bruma coming, he knew that he was no longer in this man who was only ten years older than his son. The plan of the young head coach and so on, so he took the initiative to apply for a transfer.

And the other party is indeed not in Charlotte's plan. Although his contract with the club will expire in one year, Charlotte directly expresses his gratitude to the veteran for his dedication and help to the club, so as long as Jaidi himself has no objection Then the club will not charge a transfer fee of one point for all offers from the Jaidi club.In other words, he will transfer away as a free agent.

It was an amicable breakup, and both parties were happy.

The training plan arranged by Charlotte has also made the players of the first team and the youth team familiar. Charlotte's training emphasizes more on the team's passing and coordination and the players' off-the-ball movement.This is for players other than the goalkeeper to run, instead of standing still and waiting for teammates to pass.

Two days after the new player's report, Charlotte won his first game, a friendly against Premier League newcomers Manchester City.Manchester City used to be a team in the Premier League with no desires and no desires. Occasionally there would be a relegation crisis, and when they were lucky, they could also hit the UEFA Cup qualification.

But after the Abu Dhabi consortium took over strongly, Manchester City has the strength to hit the traditional top four of the Premier League, so although Manchester City can't be called a giant now, it is already at the quasi-rich level.

For this game, Charlotte didn't have any performance requirements for the team, and he was embarrassed to ask for results in terms of the strength comparison between the two sides.

So the only thing Charlotte asks is that the team must play according to the tactical requirements of the past ten days. It doesn't matter what the loss is, but it must play at its own level and style.

Huh. Why do I feel that these words sound familiar?Charlotte, who was in the pre-match meeting, was a little distracted.
This is not a beautiful official term like the Chinese Football Association, but it is what Charlotte itself requested. This game is to test their ten-day training results.

In this game, Charlotte arranged for Southampton's main center center Lambert in the previous two seasons, with Adam Lallana and Sturridge on both sides, and Jack Cork in the midfielder position. This England midfielder was pushed from the back midfielder to the front midfielder by Charlotte.

The central midfielder is the captain Dean Hammond, the midfielder is now Southampton's midfielder Schneiderlin, the central defender is the vice-captain Jose Fonte and the Swansea captain who has just transferred to the team Gary Monk, Danny Rose at left back, Fraser Richardson on the right for the time being, and 35-year-old veteran Calvin Davis in goal.

In fact, Danny Rose has played many positions, but the Tottenham head coach used him as an attacking player when he was in Tottenham. center.At a young age, he tried many positions, and when he was in the youth team, he played more as an attacking midfielder and two full-backs.

But after coming to Southampton, Charlotte talked to him and hoped that he would try a new role-left back!
Danny Rose also made a guest appearance as a left-back for one or two games under Tottenham's old coach Redknapp, so he didn't shock the world when he heard Charlotte's request, but took Charlotte's request from the previous meeting. After reading his "information" for 3 minutes, he finally said that he could try, but if he didn't succeed, he hoped that Charlotte could reconsider his position.

This is of course no problem, Charlotte immediately agreed.

In this way, the attacking midfielder and attacking wing at Tottenham became Southampton's full-back.

After the start of the game, Manchester City did not attack aggressively as Charlotte imagined, oppressing themselves with absolute strength, but kept passing the ball.

Charlotte stood on the sidelines, her brows stretched, and she thought to herself: "It seems that Manchester City, like me, is more concerned with adapting the lineup for this game."

Manchester City made many mistakes, but neither Adam Lallana nor Ricky Lambert seized the opportunity. Sturridge did have a threatening shot, but it was directly confiscated by the England goalkeeper Joe Hart up.

Southampton made more mistakes. After the offense advanced to the midfield, there were more mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, and they lost the ball frequently.

If it weren't for the experienced and mature central defenders Jose Fonte and Gary Monk, Blue Moon would have scored two goals in the first 10 minutes.

And Charlotte didn't know that Sky Sports, which was in charge of the live broadcast of this friendly match, gave most of the shots to him, especially the "Coach—Charlot" (head coach—Charlot) subtitle below him has never been canceled.

It looks like Sky Sports are more interested in the Southampton manager than the game itself.

"It's amazing that Southampton, a centuries-old football club with such a rich tradition, would have such a young ... coach, as head coach. How old is he? Southampton's Adam Lallana looks like They are all older than him?" The narrator was surprised.

"Oh God, he is actually the head coach. I thought he was a member of the club's young coaching staff." The guest commentator was even more unbelievable.
