Chapter 5: Won't say a stand-up interpreter isn't a good head coach
July 2011, 7 was a memorable day for Charlotte, because from today he officially became the head coach of Southampton, a club with a century-old history.

Charlotte, who came to the club early in the morning, did not meet the new colleagues of the coaching staff first, nor did she go to the training field outside the locker room to wait for the players to return to the team.Instead, the administrator of the training base took a little tour of the Staplewood training base in Southampton. The first impression given to Charlotte here was that it was big, and the second impression was that it was professional.

To the south is Southampton's youth school, and a teaching building can be seen standing on the edge of a small training lawn from a distance.According to the 65-year-old Sam, the administrator, the selection of the youth school is very strict. The scouts select those children who have football talent and like football to enter the football school. In the usual training, in addition to practicing personal skills In addition, the team attaches great importance to the children's team spirit.

At the same time, in order to leave a way for those less talented children who may not be able to get professional contracts in the future, the place also pays great attention to the cultivation of children's cultural courses. Basically, football and cultural courses each account for 50.00%.

Professional football is a brutal path and not everyone can live off it for various reasons.Many of them may have to leave professional football when they are teenagers, but such people have been exposed to football since they were young. It can be said that they know nothing but football, and they cannot survive well in society.

Therefore, in the scientific and rigorous era where professional football has developed to today, cultural courses are indispensable for all football training schools.

But in Charlotte's memory, there are very few club cultural courses that occupy half or even more than half of the children's study time. Most club cultural courses only occupy [-]% to [-]% of them.

"Mr. Marcus is a good man. The construction of these youth teams and youth training schools are all rebuilt according to the instructions of Mr. Marcus before him. Here is the best youth training equipment and environment in England, and many instruments are Imported from the United States. The nutritionist, physical trainer, and team doctor are the most professional hired by Mr. Marcus with a high salary, and there are also two scouts who have been tracking and inspecting the training progress of the youth team players for a long time. It is said that Mr. Marcus I want to cooperate with some kind of data company, but before the negotiation started, Mr. Marcus returned to the embrace of God, Mr. Marcus is really very good.” Old Sam couldn’t stop talking when he started According to the trend, old people have nagging problems.

But Charlotte didn't mean to interrupt Old Sam, and let Old Sam take him around chattering.

Charlotte has been to many clubs in Germany to study and observe. Under the wave of reform of the German youth training plan, the German Football Association and various clubs have shifted their work focus to youth training.

It can be said that for now, the youth training system in Germany has surpassed that of other countries, and the harvest season has slowly begun to come in these years.Ozil, Toni Kroos, Thomas Müller, Hummels, Gotze... These young German talents who are gradually showing their talents are the most favorable evidence of the success of the German youth training, and they can still get in the future world champion.

At present, Southampton's youth training system is not at all inferior even if it is placed in Germany, and even many places are more rigorous than the strict Germans.

After seeing such a training base, Charlotte finally understood why Southampton will come out one after another with outstanding players.

"There is the future of Southampton!" Charlotte murmured.

"That's right, that's our future!" Old Sam agreed with Charlotte's words, but when he turned his head, he saw that the young man who was still beside him had already walked not far away, and that direction was the training of the first team. site.

"Then what about our present? Shouldn't it be you?!" Looking at the back of Charlotte going away, Old Sam sighed to himself.

He didn't understand why the management would hire such a young man as head coach, who is said to have no experience.How old is he? 23 years old?The Adam Lallana of our Southampton's own child seems to be only 23, right?

Oh my god bless us please don't ever go back to the first division it's hell.

Old Sam actually has no ill feeling towards Charlotte. In his opinion, Charlotte is still a child just like the young people who came out of the youth team.Old Sam just had some complaints about the management, Mr Marcus was a great club owner and apparently his kid Catalina didn't inherit a bit of that gene.

Charlotte didn't know what worried old Sam was thinking, and he had no time for other people's opinions now.

While the first-team players were still changing in the locker room, Charlotte notified everyone on the coaching staff to go to the conference room for a meeting.The meeting also included nutritionists, physical trainers and team doctors.

Charlotte was the last one to enter the meeting room, and he took a stack of materials and placed them directly on the rostrum of the meeting room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Charlotte, XiaLuo, neither Charlotte nor Sherlock. You can also call my English name Charlot, with the last letter T silent. Starting today I'm going to be Southampton's manager, at least for a year until I'm sacked."

Charlotte's humorous self-introduction with some tongue twisters made the atmosphere in the meeting room less dignified than before.

Looking around, Charlotte continued: "Please ignore my age, I know that you must not be convinced that the club hires such a brat as the club's head coach. Don't deny it, gentlemen, if it were me, I wouldn't either Convinced. But it doesn't matter, I only have one request, that is, I hope that everyone will cooperate with me in my work. Of course, if someone does not want to work with me, I will not stop it. The door is open, and you can leave now. "

Charlotte deliberately waited for five seconds, seeing that everyone present was just whispering and discussing with each other, but no one left, which made Charlotte very satisfied.It's not that he deliberately plays on the authority of the head coach, but that he knows that the tacit cooperation of a team is the most important.Now that he has become the head coach of this club, these staff must fully cooperate with him and work according to his own plan.

So instead of letting them half-heartedly find problems for themselves at the club, it is better to let them go now.

In fact, Charlotte is completely overwhelmed. The former head coach Adkins took all his "direct troops" to Birmingham after he quit, and now all the club employees are left.They are dissatisfied that Charlotte is too young and inexperienced to convince the public and has no other ideas. In the end, the decision of the big boss, what can these small employees do? !

And many of them are fans of Southampton. Unless other clubs give him a weekly salary that is very difficult for him to refuse, otherwise they will not choose to leave the club.

"Okay, next question. I know what you're thinking, it's just 'Hey, where did this kid come from?', 'He can be the manager? Come on, I can still be the England national team. What about the head coach.', 'Is the board crazy? How could they find a kid to be the head coach?', etc."

While talking, Charlotte imitated that mocking tone, and his body movements amused the staff present.

The meeting room was immediately filled with laughter. Of course, this was not ridicule, but friendly and joyful laughter.

"I think you should be on a stand-up show, Charlotte." Dean Wilkins, the team's new assistant, succeeds Andy Crosby, who followed former manager Adkins to Birmingham Said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"That's right, Mr. Wilkins. I've always thought that an interpreter who couldn't speak well for a stand-up show wouldn't make a good football manager. And I'll say it again, my name is Charlotte, not goddamn Charlotte. Hell Sherlock, you don't pronounce the final T."
