PS: The group numbers of this group are five, four, eight, three, five, six, eight, five, five, come to the group to talk about the mountains and football.

Chen Zhun locked himself in the office after finishing the post-match summary meeting.He called Arnesen and asked about Ozil's itinerary. Arnesen told Chen Zhun that Ozil would come to Southampton Club tomorrow to report.Chen Zhun knew that Ozil was just 16 years old, and he could play in the Premier League without signing up.He is ready to let Ozil come off the bench in the away game against Northampton City on the 23rd.Chen Zhun knew that such consequences might kill the future of a future superstar, but he had no choice for his own handsome position.The current stretch of the lineup made him helpless, and the chairman's words made Chen Zhun's buying plan postponed until winter.

After Chen Zhun hung up Arnesen's phone call, he called Reid to the office again. He wanted to discuss tactical issues with Reed.

"Hey, Reed, it's been really bad lately." Chen Zhun complained to the old man.

"David, everything will pass. What can you do with me?" Reed comforted Chen Zhun.Reed has been helping Chen Zhun gradually control the team for more than a month. In Reed's view, the young man in front of him is fully capable of writing his own legend in the Premier League, but he still needs to hone and hit.The difference between mediocrity and legend is that if you stand up after ten thousand blows, you are a legend; if you fall down after ten thousand blows, you will always be mediocre.The same is true in football.

"Of course it's a tactical matter. I feel a little weak in this strategy recently. It seems that the opponent has already seen through our tactical intentions." Chen Zhun said weakly.

"No, no, David. This tactic is perfect, but our players have not fully adapted to this tactic. James and Kevin still need to run actively in the frontcourt and fight for defense, which will take time. The tactic of this tactic The first line of defense comes from them."

"I understand what you mean. Rice. There is a new player coming tomorrow. Come with me to see him." Chen Zhun was a little relieved when he heard Reed.

"New player? Who is it?" Reid hasn't heard of any signings recently, and it's not the transfer period now.

"It's a young player. German. His name is Mesut Ozil." Chen Zhun solved Reed's doubts.

"Mmm Good."

Chen Zhun didn't immediately tell Reed what was on his mind.Chen Zhun originally wanted these young players to train in the Southampton youth training team for a few years and play in the Premier League, but now the embarrassing situation that no one is available has forced Chen Zhun to change his plan.He decided to use both Adam Lallana and Mesut Ozil as substitutes for the Carabao Cup clash with Northampton City in midweek, with younger Gareth Bale and Leo Walcott Will not play.

"What did you say? You're going to let Mesut play? He's only been here for a day. You know very well that if he doesn't play well, he's likely to be burdened." This question came from the second day Reid.

Chen Zhun and Reid welcomed the shy Mesut Ozil in the morning. After Ozil underwent a medical examination and visit, he officially signed a five-year contract with the team.As soon as Ozil signed the contract, Chen Zhun put him in the first team for training.

Chen Zhun told Reid this idea on the sidelines of the training ground.So there was this sentence just now.

Chen Zhun and Reed looked at Ozil and Lallana in training. They had quiet and nervous expressions, and they seemed a little out of tune with other players. "I had to take a risk. He's my hero. Rice."

"You're crazy, you're really crazy! David! There are so many players in our team, why not use them." Reid still couldn't understand Chen Zhun's thoughts.

"Who can replace Anderson." Chen Zhun said lightly.

After hearing this, Reed had nothing to say.yes.No one in the current Southampton team can replace Anderson's role.He has free kick skills, good long pass, wide field of vision, and can adjust the team's offensive rhythm. They lack such players. After seeing Ozil's performance in training in the morning, Reed also discovered that Ozil has potential in this regard.So Chen Zhun had to take a risk to do so.Even if it's a bet at the expense of a minor player's future career.

"Mesut, welcome to Southampton, where you will be the greatest player in the world."

"Thank you, Coach. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will work hard."

"Mesut, now I officially inform you that you have been placed in the squad against Northampton three days later, and you will come off the bench. Play according to your own ideas on the field, don't think about other people's ideas .”

When the young Ozil heard the news, he was speechless for a while.He opened his unique goldfish eyes wide, calmed down after a long time, and said: "Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will seize this opportunity well. I will make those teams that gave up on me regret it for the rest of their lives. .”

September 9.Ceathfields Stadium.Home of Northampton City FC.It is strange to mention this club, but an interesting thing happened in this club. In the fifth round of the 23 FA Cup against Manchester United, Northampton lost 1970 to 2 to the Red Devils Manchester United. George Best scored 8 goals in this game. After the game, the players of Ampton won George Best autographed the game ball as a souvenir.This can be regarded as an anecdote about the Northampton club.

When Chen Zhun saw the name Northampton, he thought the game would be a derby, but the two clubs had no intersection at all.

In this game, Chen Zhun replaced all the main players.The striker was also replaced by the drinking fountain administrator Olmerode and the young Vardy.Chen Zhun originally planned to let Crouch and Vardy play, but before the departure, Olmerod found Chen Zhun, hoping to play in this game.He knew in his heart that he was no longer in the coach's plan, and he hoped to use his performance to attract the attention of other teams.Chen Zhun agreed to his request, but Chen Zhun also told him to only give him a halftime chance.

Due to the obvious gap in strength between the two sides.Just 15 minutes into the game, Southampton had a 2-0 lead over Northampton.The players who scored the two goals were Olmerode and Olmerode.But Olmerod's ability to squander opportunities is far higher than his shooting ability. In the first half of the game, Vardy's performance can only be described as mediocre. Chen Zhun also knows that training young players is not a good thing. In the cold of a day, Chen Zhun is also confident that these former superstars will be as good as they are in the current era.
