Chapter 32 Summer Training

Now is the most lively time in the transfer market, but Blackburn announced the completion of signings early, which surprised the outside media.

Blackburn ranked tenth in the league last season, but reached the FA Cup final. Although it was a pity that they fell 1 minute before the penalty kick, they were able to participate in the UEFA Cup this season because Manchester United won the league championship.

Under the premise of two-line combat, only three players were introduced, and the total cost did not exceed 500 million pounds. Even the local media was talking about it. You must know that in the money football of the Premier League, even newly promoted horses spend more than this a little.

Mark Hughes was in the front and asked the three newcomers to introduce themselves briefly. Sun Wu shrank behind the crowd and was a little out of spirit, not only because he slept a little late last night, but also because he was used to the pace of life in Barcelona , Two or three o'clock in the afternoon is the time when the Spaniards take a nap after eating...

Two of these three people are not small. Santa Cruz has played for Bayern for eight years. Although he has not played yet, he has strength. Help the Dutch team win the championship and become the top scorer...

Most of the players who left were unable to play. For example, Arsenal’s No. [-] Jeffers was really not a good number. Later, the Korean Park Joo-young also wore this jersey...

"Best!" Mark Hughes saw Sun Wu covered his mouth and yawned, and asked with a frown, "What's your opinion on Rock Santa Cruz?"

Come on, Uncle Patrick is gone, you're still staring at me?No wonder Marvin often says in the reserve team that I have more than one relative at the club...

"Uh, opinions? I do have opinions." Sun Wu glanced at the sunny boy Santa Cruz. This guy is already 26, and he is well maintained!
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads to stare at Sun-woo.

"I don't like Rock." Sun Wu said solemnly: "I don't like anyone who is more handsome than me, so I often hang out with Nelson, Peterson, Bentley, Roberts..."

After a moment of surprise, everyone burst into laughter. Even Mark Hughes and Santa Cruz standing in front couldn't help laughing out loud, but... the ones who were named were upset. You punched me and kicked me. Kick over.

"Best, I've decided, I want double gifts tomorrow!"

Sun Wu dodged and laughed, "Okay, no problem, I'll give you Mr. Mark's share!"

The summer training camp is mainly for physical strength reserves. The coaching staff has arranged a detailed training plan, but because of limited funds... there is no need to think about overseas training camps, and they can only be carried out in their own training grounds.

Sun Wu's current position is fixed on the winger, but the main positions of Peterson and Bentley are difficult to shake. Sun Wu's goal is the first substitute. The current competitor is No. 16 Steven Reid. He came to Blackburn in 2003 and once served as the second captain. He only played two games last season and was reimbursed for the season due to serious injuries. He only returned to the training ground at the end of May this year.

Steven Reed was originally playing in the middle, but currently there are four people competing for the two positions in the middle of the midfield, Dunn, Mokena, Tugay and Savage, so Reed was forced to the wing and served as Substitute for Peterson.

Throughout July, Blackburn played a total of six warm-up games. On the one hand, they recovered and inspected the players' status, and on the other hand, they let the new players complete the running-in as soon as possible. Sun Wu basically played half-court every game, four times on the right side, Twice to the left.

Against Preston today, Sun Wu replaced Bentley in the second half, and behind him was Marvin, who played for the first team for the first time.

"Don't be nervous." Sun Wu seemed to be consoling with good intentions, "You haven't played yet, why are you so nervous... When it starts, you will find that it doesn't matter if you are nervous or not."

Sun Wu glanced at Ma Wen's trembling hands, and said the last sentence seriously, "You will be desperate."

"..."

In the opening 2 minutes, Marvin slipped in embarrassment during a defense, allowing the opponent's forward to take the ball and face the goalkeeper directly. Fortunately, Friedel attacked to seal the angle...

Glancing back at Marvin, he made a pressing gesture. Sun Wu didn't care about him anymore, he received his ribs from the inside, cooperated with Roberts who was pulling the side, and made a long pass to find the left side of the front. Defender Warnock, who put the ball directly into the small penalty area, McCarthy beat the defender and scored with a header.

"Best..." assistant coach Clementon yelled loudly, but was stopped by Mark Hughes.

"Look first, and then talk."

Sun Wu and Bentley have completely different styles.

Bentley is a typical British winger. He basically holds a line on the side. He has a strong ability to run up and down, has a certain breakthrough ability, and most importantly has a beautiful cross.

Although Sun Wu's physical fitness is not bad, and he is very flexible in turning, his breakthrough ability... er, is slightly better than Beckham, mainly relying on changes in rhythm to find opportunities to pass or cooperate with teammates.

Some time ago, Patrick once reviewed the FA Cup final of last season. He was surprised to find that, except for the last shot, Sun Wu did not touch the ball more than three times every time. He stopped the ball, adjusted, passed... even There are no less than ten one-foot shots. On the one hand, it proves his excellent vision and passing skills, and on the other hand, it also proves his weak breakthrough ability.

However, being a time traveler has many advantages. For example, Sun Wu can now build himself according to a certain template in his mind.

Flying like Cristiano Ronaldo, breaking assists and scoring goals?
Like Luis Figo, relying on rhythm and technology to swing the angle to send precise crosses?
Or cut in like Robben to kick the world wave?

Obviously, the current Sun Wu is very difficult to do.

In the end, Sun Wu chose Arsenal's right midfielder from 2012 to 2013, "Reaper" Aaron Ramsey.

In those few years, the Arsenal team hoarded too many players in the middle, such as Diaby who has not yet started the overhaul, the Czech "Little Mozart" Rosicky, Arteta who was born in La Masia, and Cazorla, who is an all-around midfielder with left and right feet. , the small threat of Arsenal's "Prince", the big-eyed baby who was transferred at a high price 272...

So the hard-pressed Ramsey had to play on the wing. It happened that Chamberlain and Walcott were constantly injured. Anything goes.

After a long time of consideration, Sun Wu decided to imitate Ramsey at that time, give up the right to Emerton or the striker who pulled the side, and cut into the hinterland by himself to make a fuss about the ribs. Crosses into the penalty area after cutting cooperation, even rushing into the penalty area to grab a shot when the center forward pulls the side...

Sun Wu and Dunn made a two-for-one cooperation and then entered the penalty area. They shook the opponent's defender with a clever pause rhythm, and then swept the center vigorously. Santa Cruz, who had just entered the field, scored easily from the back.

"It's still the same. If he plays, the tactics must be fine-tuned." Clay shrugged. There is a difference."

Mark Hughes didn't speak, guessing in his heart that this change might be because Sun Wu stayed in Barcelona for more than a month.
