Chen Zhun returned to Winston's home according to the memory in his mind.He stood in front of this strange but familiar two-story typical English-style building, not daring to go in.According to Winston's recollection, Chen Zhun had a general understanding of Winston's family life, and also had some sympathy for this strange Englishman.Winston's parents died when he was in high school.In the days that followed, he lived alone until now. To be precise, football has accompanied him to this day.Winston's parents are diehard fans of Southampton. On Winston's third birthday, his parents gave him a football and took him to watch the Southampton game live.Since then, Winston has fallen in love with football and Southampton.Football has been with Winston since his parents died.Football is his only companion.

After Chen Zhun looked at the lifeless house outside for a long time, he decided to open the door.The moment Chen Zhun opened the door, fate was saved.Chen Zhun walked in through the door, everything in front of him was both strange and familiar, and the two different memories in his mind confronted each other, which made Chen Zhun feel a little headache.Chen Zhun looked at his home as a guest, which was no different from Winston's scene before he went out in the morning.What's ridiculous is that when he came back at night, it was replaced by Chen Zhun.Chen Zhun looked at the family photos on the wall. The three bright smiles in each photo told Chen Zhun that this place was once so warm.Looking at these photos, Chen Zhun also thought of his own memories, his parents and sister, wondering if they are doing well now.When Chen Zhun was in school, he always murmured that he wanted to go to the end of the world with his sword, but now he really experienced the feeling of parting from life and death only after he traveled alone.However, Chen Zhun is soberly aware that now is not the time to be sentimental, and he will formally lead the team for training tomorrow.For a rookie who has never been a coach, this is simply impossible task.Chen Zhun found Winston's training notes through his memories, which were densely packed with the team's training plan.Chen Zhun took a few glances and felt dizzy. This is completely different from being a coach of FM football manager.Chen Zhun thought to himself.Chen Zhun decided not to read this notebook, which was like a bible to him, and when he arrived at the training ground tomorrow, he would combine his 12 years of football memory to formulate a strategy for Southampton.Chen Zhun hurriedly made a simple dinner, and prepared to take a bath and have a good sleep.

Chen Zhun looked at himself through the mirror.Blonde hair, dark blue eyes, high nose bridge.Chen Zhun was looking at his standard figure with six-pack abs.Chen Zhun thought about it just now. This is also the price Winston sacrificed for football.He thought to himself: "If I get fired by Southampton, I will be a male model, otherwise this face and this figure are really wasted."

Chen Zhun also wondered why Winston has such excellent innate conditions and why he doesn't have a girlfriend.Chen Zhun tried hard to find some sweet memories of love from Winston's gray memory.After searching, he was disappointed.At this time, the picture in his mind is the scene of Winston rejecting the girl's confession time and time again for the dream of football in his heart

Seeing this, Chen Zhun had no choice but to curse: "WTF! Winston!"

Then Chen Zhun thought about the beautiful life in the future, his eyes darkened, and he suddenly fell asleep.

When Chen Zhun woke up again, he was woken up by the alarm clock at six o'clock the next morning.Chen Zhun admired his optimistic attitude of eating enough and sleeping well. He thought that he would suffer from insomnia for a night like in the novel, which would be a torment for him.

After Chen Zhun finished washing, according to Winston's recollection, he decided to go for a run, which was Winston's habit.

Quiet streets, fresh air, and green plants everywhere.This city surrounded by ancient medieval walls has completely attracted Chen Zhun's heart.

When Chen Zhun came back from running, he felt very relaxed. He made a breakfast that he was very satisfied with. After eating, he found that it was just seven o'clock.So he began to look at Winston's notes again.Winston's notes recorded in detail the information and characteristics of all players in the Southampton first-team squad.When Chen Zhun turned to the last page, he saw two familiar names, Gareth Bell and Theo Walcott.The proud work of two Southampton youth academy.As the head coach of these two players, Winston spoke highly of them, and as far as Winston could remember, their relationship was very good. Bell and Walcott listened to Winston very much.Now Bell and Walcott are training themselves in the youth team. According to the progress of history, they will play in the British Championship with the record of the youngest players in team history by this time next year.After the two players became famous in the first battle, the paths they took in reality were opposite.Bell switched to Tottenham Hotspur, where Bell showed his own strength, and then came to Real Madrid with the title of world football's most valuable. In Real Madrid, he is also very beautiful and attracts everyone's attention.On the other hand, Walcott, after a high-profile transfer to Arsenal, gradually lost himself in the Arsenal world due to his own injuries and tactical roles.Chen Zhun is not in a hurry to upgrade these two players with unlimited potential, because Chen Zhun is well aware of their strength, how to make good use of them is what Chen Zhun has to consider, and at the same time, he also needs to consider that they are poached by the Premier League giants.In history, these two players were poached by the Premier League giants after Southampton became famous overnight, causing Southampton to suffer heavy losses.Chen Zhun does not want history to repeat itself, and Chen Zhun wants to try his best to retain those young Southampton players who have left due to financial problems in reality.When it comes to financial problems, Chen Zhun is very troubled. This problem has always been an unavoidable status quo in Southampton.In the era that Chen Zhun lived in, Southampton's financial strength was not bad, but after a few seasons, Southampton's financial strength declined further, and finally it was in danger of being liquidated. Chen Zhun wanted to use that time , Attract a large consortium to take over Southampton.The only condition that can attract the attention of the big consortium is that the team has enough strength to compete for the championship.Chen Zhun's 0405 season was the era of the rise of Jinyuan football.Chen Zhun relied on his own memory to know that in the next few years, Premier League clubs were successively acquired by large consortia from all over the world.

After reading Winston's notes, Chen Zhun roughly understood Winston's inner tactical concept.

The tactical thinking of Winston and Chen Zhun overlapped unexpectedly.They all believe that the current Southampton team is suitable for defensive counterattacks and long passes.Based on Chen Zhun's memories, in the just-concluded 2015-2016 season, the Premier League champion Leicester City used this tactic to the extreme, creating a miracle and winning the Premier League title.
