Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 48
The first round of the 2015-2016 season is about to start on August 8, leaving only two weeks for Leicester City to prepare for the game. Ranieri began to train his players desperately.

In order to find the team's best team to play this season, Ranieri organized the players to conduct two small training games every day for three or four consecutive days. The players in the team were exhausted and complained.

Zhang Mai is well aware of Ranieri's defensive temperament. As long as he has a chance to play, he will show off his defensive skills and fighting enthusiasm, leaving a good impression on Ranieri.

The competition for the main forwards is extremely fierce. The current team has six forwards including Vardy, Okazaki Shinji, Ulloa, Lawrence, Kramaric and Dodo, and there are also Mahrez and Zhang Mai who can attack and defend in the midfield. .

With Ranieri's nature of defense and counterattack, it is best if ten people on the field can defend. Therefore, Vardy and Shinji Okazaki, who run all over the field for free, must be the first choice of double forwards, and the other four can only be his two. substitute.

Among them, Ulloa is the most pity. The 186cm big man has superb shooting skills and a good header. He was also the team's top scorer last season, but he doesn't like the defense point to hit the "Tinker" dead spot.

The midfield has Mahrez, Zhang Mai, N'Golo Kante, Drinkwater, Andy King, Hammond, Matty James, Albrighton, Schlupp, Nathan Eleven people including Dyer and Inler are indispensable for defending the big gate. Mahrez is a sharp knife in the frontcourt. Drinkwater and Andy King are both excellent in offense and defense. A few are almost meaningless.

Zhang Mai estimates that he can be ranked among the top three substitutes in the midfield. Anyway, he has a balanced left and right foot, can hit the center and defend well.

There are only seven defenders: Wes Morgan, Huth, Danny Simpson, Fuchs, Wasilewski, De Lae and Benalouan. Last season, there was also the legendary Argentine veteran Cambiasso. It's a pity that the summer free transfer went to Olympiakos, Greece, with four main players and three substitutes. Once there is a reduction in the team's back line, it will hurt.

The two goalkeepers: Casper Schmeichel and Schwarzer are the easiest choices on the field.

On the 30th, Ranieri finally determined the main camp and began to distribute the main yellow and substitute red vests in the team training.

Zhang Mai got the red vest, and at a glance, the main team is exactly the same as the winning team of Leicester City in memory:
Vardy, Shinji Okazaki, Mahrez, N'Golo Kante, Drinkwater, Andy King, Wes Morgan, Huth, Danny Simpson, Fuchs, Casper Schmeichel.

Seeing Wu Luoya in red was secretly angry, Zhang Mai suddenly felt that something was wrong with him!

It seems that Ulloa has played nearly 800 times this season, and only added up to 6 minutes. He also scored 2 goals and assisted [-] times. His efficiency is not worse than that of the main players.

Although I have fifteen appearances stipulated in the contract, don't let that old guy Ranieri make it into 3 or 400 minutes. By then, he won't be able to score double figures in goals and assists!

Zhang Mai's worry is still very reasonable. Ranieri originally disliked Zhang Mai's regulation on the number of games, and even asked the club to abolish it. As a result, the vice chairman of the club, Ayavat, made Ranieri speechless.

"Without this guarantee of playing time, people will not go to Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, etc. Those clubs give higher weekly wages."

After a few days of training and competition, Ranieri's dislike for Zhang Mai's defense and running ability was slightly reduced, so he decided to give Qi Zhang Mai the number of games, but it would probably be in the last 10 [-] minutes of the game.

Sure enough, the old ghost is the mortal enemy of the young genius!Hope Silver Fox Lippi is not such a person.

The group training ended early in the morning, leaving time for everyone to rest and adjust, because there will be a training match between the main force and the substitute in the afternoon.

Zhang Mai knows what Ranieri thinks, and wants to tell all the staff and even the club's top management through this training match, that I have a vision, and the main force selected is the strongest!

Zhang Mai originally agreed with Ranieri's approach. To fight against the outside world, we must first settle down at home. Everyone in Huaguo understands this.

But what happened next made Zhang Mai change his opinion, and decided that from now on, as long as he has a face, he will all be incited back!
There was also a training match in the afternoon. The players did not go home, but strolled around the training base. Zhang Mai and Shinji Okazaki had a closer relationship and sat on the grass chatting.

"Zhang Mai, you lost when dividing the main force. I wonder why your weekly salary is so high?"

Tease Vardy to mess in and say funny things.

"Jamie!..." Zhang Mai stopped Shinji Okazaki who was about to persuade Vardy.

"Mr. Vardy, my salary is not set by you or Mr. Ranieri. You should ask Chairman Vichai."

Zhang Mai knew that Vardy's straight tempered temper must have been provoked by those local players in the team who had mixed basic salaries.

"Oh...then I want to test my ability with you. It's hard to compare with other things now. How about we run a [-] meters?"

Vardy was a little surprised by Zhang Mai's calmness, but he always felt that he couldn't lose his prestige as a Zhengyin striker.

"Are you sure you want to race [-] meters with me?"

Zhang Mai began to care for the mentally handicapped.

"Haha! Hahahaha! I laughed so hard, Jamie, Zhang Mai just broke the world junior 9-meter record in Colombia a few days ago, with 93 seconds. It is estimated that no one in world football can run faster than him. You I want to race [-] meters with him, hahaha!"

Shinji Okazaki was amused by Vardy's proposal.

"Really, you can't lie to me! I'll go back to the locker room and check online."

Vardy left with a teasing face and an exclamation mark, and disappeared like the wind. Who said teasing is shameless?

"Okazaki-kun, is my £[-] the highest weekly salary in Leicester City?"

Zhang Mai did not expect to become the working emperor of Leicester City.

"It should be. My transfer fee is 800 million euros, and my weekly salary is only 1000. I heard that Vardy is also [-]. Ulloa's transfer fee is [-] million euros. He is known as the king of Leicester City, and his weekly salary is [-]. It's only [-], which also shows that Mr. Clott's negotiation level is getting higher and higher."

Shinji Okazaki has been in the Bundesliga for several years, and he knows that the salary of a player is not necessarily proportional to his contribution on the field, but has a lot to do with the player's joining conditions.

"Hey, the poor civilian team, but I still want to thank Mr. Clott, Okazaki-kun, if you want to win the highest honor in the Premier League, you are in the right place, Leicester City, don't ask why, by this time next year You will understand naturally."

Zhang Mai thanked Shinji Okazaki a little.

Question me?Whether it's Vardy or Ranieri and his ilk, watch how the young master slaps your faces in the afternoon.

"Zhang Maijun, don't argue with Vardy, he is a straightforward person, and he is probably bewitched by others."

Shinji Okazaki suddenly felt that Zhang Mai had a murderous look that had nothing to do with his age, and he was a little worried about his striker partner.

"OK, I know Vardy is a simple and kind person,"

Zhang Mai looked at Shinji Okazaki's thin figure:

"But when you deal with him in the future, it's better to follow him!"

Damn it!Who said that Vardy is an honest man, he was put on electronic shackles for fighting at the age of 16, and now he has found a night girl, no, the night girl is a girlfriend, the key is that he has not lived together, Vardy has become two the father of the child.

Thinking about the strength gap between the main force and the substitute, Zhang Mai found Wu Luoya, who was hanging out in the club, for secret business.

Zhang Mai also spent 1 day to compete with the main team twice in the simulated game field. He lost 0:4 in the first game, made up for the loopholes of the substitute in the second game, and finally lost 0:1.

It's a pity that there is no time to continue to improve, and the official training match will start soon.

But Zhang Mai is already familiar with the characteristics of the main lineup. No wonder so many people say that Leicester City's championship depends mostly on the self-disruption of the giants.
