Grass roots glory

Chapter 903

Manchester United's first team was on leave, and the training area of ​​the first team began to become lively. It was also the first time that Zhou Tiancheng met his new teammates who were about to work together.

But Van Gaal is very clear about what he needs to do. The first thing to do is not to knead the whole, but to talk to these newly joined players one by one.

This season the club has made great moves. So far, it has introduced five players, and there are still new players on the way.

As a player, Zhou Tiancheng needs to consider how to integrate into the new environment, integrate into the team, and adapt to the tactical requirements of the new coach.For Van Gaal, the challenge is even greater. With the club's four-year contract of 4000 million pounds, the pressure on him is even greater.The club's big investors, the Glazer family, hope that he is the one who can bring the club back on track. On a big stage like Manchester, the media and fans are watching.

Although the club is very cooperative with his request, and even the Argentine "Angel" Di Maria, who performed so well in the World Cup, can be poached from Real Madrid at a high price close to 8000 million euros, but Van Gaal knows that he wants to build his own foundation here. He is not the key. Although he took over the No. 7 jersey, Van Gaal knows that the Argentine is still a step away from being a legend, and at most it can only be used as an important tactical puzzle.

The real key lies in Zhou Tiancheng.

"Zhou, your statement at the fan meeting is very good. I hope that after the real training starts, I will pass your thoughts to the team. We need to clean up this mess now."

Zhou Tiancheng was a little embarrassed: "Sir, this...you want me to be a villain? This...I'm afraid I can't do it."

Van Gaal and his assistant looked at each other, frowned slightly and said: "You dare to offend Manchester City and Liverpool fans, I think you can do a good job. The specific situation, I will let Ryan tell you later, what he knows about the team Deeper, you know, me too."

The assistant coach Ryan Giggs next to him nodded slowly at Zhou Tiancheng: "Zhou, let me briefly tell you about the situation of the team. Coach Temper is a pleasure to work with, and I will help you with any questions here."

Zhou Tiancheng nodded. With the statement of the "native" legend of the Red Devils in Manchester United's Class of 92, he had a little confidence in his mind.

Van Gaal looked at the two with a smile. He was full of confidence in his prospects at Manchester United, and he would never repeat the mistakes of Bayern - poaching the most important person who threatened him to compete for the championship back then, while leaving the team who knew Manchester United best. Even if he didn't perform any other actions, Xia Chuang's legendary success was already very successful with just these two strokes.

……

When the stars of the first team lined up in front of Van Gaal one by one, Zhou Tiancheng clearly felt the difference from the Bundesliga—whether it was Schalke or Dortmund players, although they were still very loose after returning to the team after the holiday, they came to training. The field is still somewhat restrained.The environment of German football and the strict requirements for tactical discipline create such players.

And Zhou Tiancheng glanced at it, that is, the popular king "Lu Xiaopang" Rooney who almost shaved his head was still serious, obviously recognized himself, and blinked at him. The expressions of the others were very loose. There was a faint smell of alcohol from last night.

Zhou Tiancheng couldn't believe it—although the Premier League and the Bundesliga are different in all aspects, are they both so...loose?
On the first day, newcomers who have just joined must have a face-to-face meeting.Di Maria, Luke Shaw, and Blind, who had already arrived on the team, introduced themselves one by one, but Zhou Tiancheng looked around and saw these stars gathered together, in twos and threes, staring at him from time to time.

"That's Zhou?"

"God, I didn't expect the team to be so willing to spend money. It seems that the new season is interesting."

"Stupid! Look carefully, Ryan is standing behind someone else, the coach is no longer him. I heard that the newcomer Louis van Gaal has a bad temper, and now this Chinese is here again...Michael, are you still looking forward to it? ? Maybe you will be the first one to get the surgery! Hahaha!"

Carrick fell silent immediately after hearing this.The look in Zhou Tiancheng's eyes became less warm.

He suddenly realized that Zhou Tiancheng had the same position and functional attributes as himself, and now that the new coach came on stage, would Van Gaal not play his trump card well?

I may be a victim!
Sometimes being famous is not a good thing. When Zhou Tiancheng stood in the front and prepared to introduce himself to his teammates, the forwards, defenders, and even a few goalkeepers were very happy, but a group of midfielders were all hostile.

Zhou Tiancheng got used to it, he looked at everyone with a smile on his face, and coughed lightly: "Is there anyone who doesn't know me? Please tell me."

The unique self-introduction opening remarks, the happy part of the people laughed, Zhou is really different, no wonder he can reach this level.But the other group of people frowned even tighter.

Zhou Tiancheng also laughed, this was just to liven up the atmosphere: "It's okay, everyone has heard of me, and now I'm more satisfied with my popularity. Now we should talk about the serious business. I We are not here just to play in the Premier League. We can go to the Champions League and we can step down Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal. I think everyone standing here should agree with me? After one season, we will come Look, I hope to have a good time working with you all.”

Then Zhou Tiancheng stood back and faintly heard voices talking around him.

"Ha, he really has confidence, but if we can really do it at the end of next season, that's something to look forward to."

"Isn't it? They are different from us. When we first joined, we worked hard to get a recognition. They are so popular and have their own halo."

These words were a bit harsh, Zhou Tiancheng turned his head to look for the source of the voice, he really wanted to reply: I didn't ask for it, if you have this ability, you can have this!

Instead, Di Maria came over and asked, "Zhou, I also heard that you made such a promise to all the fans. I admire your courage, but what if you thought about it? What's the difference in the bet, if it were me, it would always feel worthless, we are professional players, not God."

Zhou Tiancheng smiled: "That's right, so, as long as the process is exciting enough, it's no longer like the team's last season. If you can't finish it, you can't finish it. So what? Could it be that because we didn't fulfill our promise, the media or fans came to us for compensation? ?It's not a bad thing to have some pressure."

Di Maria suddenly nodded, "Good idea, Zhou."

Di Maria is also a talkative, and the two seem to know each other.

This made Zhou Tiancheng feel normal.Regardless of how much he has achieved, but in a team like Manchester United, when he just joined, he is no different from a rookie.At most, pay more attention to him.

Some people are full of good feelings, some are suspicious or hostile, and it is easier to gradually get along with newcomers like Di Maria, form their own circle, and hug each other.

He didn't miss any treatment for newcomers.
