Chapter 53 Roundtable

Ruddick and Arnesen will return to Southampton today to continue the most important meeting of each month.

Chen Zhun woke up in the morning and received a call from Rudick and Arnesen. Both of them came back at noon, so Chen Zhun invited them to have afternoon tea together, which was fulfillment of Chen Zhun's promise to Rudick last time.

Chen Zhun picked up the player list from the previous two scouting reports.Chen Zhun deliberately wrote a list of players in each position by himself, which can also more intuitively select the players he thinks are suitable for Southampton.

The two scouting reports recalled that there were 48 players investigated, and the average age was also 20 or 21 years old.And these young players were all football stars in Chen Zhun's previous life.Of course, most of these players are reserve forces. Chen Zhun will not give them too many opportunities this season, just for them to experience the atmosphere of the Premier League.It can be said that Chen Zhun is holding the hope of dominating the Premier League in the future. Chen Zhun knows that if he wants to succeed in Southampton, he must introduce a group of loyal and capable players.

Chen Zhun selected 48 of his favorite players from these 23 players.

Goalkeepers: Rene Adler, Joe Hart
Left-back: Nicky Shorey, Bakary Sagna, Leighton Bynes

Right back: Luke Young

Centre-backs: Laurent Koscielny, Mats Hummels, Michael Dawson, Phil Jagielka
DM: Miguel Arteta, Las Diarra, Yaya Toure
Left Midfield: Mesut Ozil, Santiago Cazorla, David Silva

Right Midfield: Jakub Blaszczykowski (Kuba), Clemens Fritz, Ashley Young

Forwards: Olivier Giroud, Dirk Dirk, Fernando Torres and David Villa

Of course, most of these 23 players are now future stars, and there are relatively few players who have come to fight.So Chen Zhun also planned that Rudick would no longer look for the star of hope when he came back this time, but choose to look for players in his prime to maintain the stability of the team, and by the way, he can rely on the old future to shock the locker room.But Chen Zhun is a little worried about the transfer fee.Chen Zhun has great hopes for how much transfer fee the club can get during the winter transfer period, and he is also planning to make transfer offers from some easy-to-start players tomorrow.He also needs to discuss the matter with chairman Rupert Lowe tomorrow.

The British have a long history of drinking afternoon tea. Since the 17th century, the British have liked this drink (black tea is preferred). But Chen Zhun despises the British habit of drinking tea as drinking water. Chen Zhun believes that drinking tea should be It is in a quiet place, savoring the enjoyment that tea brings to your taste.

At this time, the "Big Three" of the Southampton Club, Chen Zhun, Arnesen and Rudick, were enjoying a rare afternoon tea at a round table in an open-air cafe. Of course, the topic was football itself.

"Hey, David, you are a celebrity in the UK now!! But your celebration is so domineering!! I love it!!" It was Arneson who spoke.

"Don't make fun of me! Dude! Tell me about Dirk Kurit!" Chen Zhun didn't want to give Arnesen any chance to talk about it, so he hurriedly changed the topic with business.

"Dilke is a player that fits your thinking in selecting players. He runs tirelessly and has a high tactical quality. Although he is now ranked first in the Eredivisie scorer list, his shooting ability and small skills are not outstanding. Dirk I asked the Feyenoord club about the price of Erke, but unfortunately Feyenoord's reply is that all transfers will wait until the summer."

Chen Zhun nodded. Arnesen's evaluation was basically the same as Chen Zhun's memory of Dirk Dirk in his previous life. In his previous life, Didier Didn't show his ability to score goals in the Eredivisie when he arrived in Liverpool. The coach Benitez still gave him the position of the main striker, and what he valued was his attitude on the field, which is also what Chen Zhun valued.Now that Feyenoord is in the European war, it is another matter whether Dirk Dirk can come to the small temple of Southampton.

Chen Zhun got a satisfactory answer from Arneson, and turned his attention to Rudick who was drinking tea.

Rudick put the scouting report in front of Chen Zhun's eyes.

The first is the Swiss scouting report.Stefan Lichtsteiner, who is just 20 years old, plays for the Swiss domestic giants Zurich Grasshopper Club. Although he is young, he has already secured the position of the main right back in the club.The scout report is characterized by strong defense and weak offense, strong running ability and abundant physical fitness.

The second is a scouting report from Italy, with three players coming into the scout's sights.Forward Graziano Pellet, 19, for Lecce, midfielder Marek Hamsik, 17, for Brescia and centre-back Hugo, 24, for Piacenza - Campagnaro.

Chen Zhun also knows these three players very well, but he is only interested in Hamsik. It seems that he will add another player to his list.

The third is a scout report from Spain, adding a new player, Juan Francisco Torres from Real Madrid, that is, Juan Forlan. At that time, Real Madrid was in the era of the first phase of the Galacticos. There were so many stars, and there was no place for the young Juan Forlan at all. This was a good supplement to the right wing.

The fourth scouting report from Germany also had only one new player, Stefan Kisling, a 20-year-old young striker who was playing for Nuremberg at the time.When Chen Zhun saw the name Kisling, his mind suddenly realized that he forgot about him.Kisling was one of the strikers that Chen Zhun was more optimistic about in his previous life.He has the traditional characteristics of a German center and is tall, but he has excellent foot skills and ball-handling skills that many high center forwards do not have, and he is also relatively fast.But he also has the most fatal weakness, which is the low psychological quality of the competition, which is also an important reason that hinders Kisling's career development, otherwise he can get a place in a wealthy club with his strength.Because Chen Zhun saw Kisling, he decided not to introduce Giroud, but to focus on Kisling.

Fifth scouting report from France.There is also a new player selected here, that is Ben Arfa, one of the French 87 Four Little Swans.The technical characteristic of scouts is that his dribbling skills are perfect, but sometimes he is too obsessed with dribbling and loses attack opportunities. He has a high combination of man and ball, and he also likes to control the ball at his feet.The scout also said in the report that Ben Arfa's life in Lyon was not easy, with few opportunities to play, and he himself was also seeking opportunities to go out.

Chen Zhun really lacks a competent left midfielder. Bale and Ozil are too young to play consecutively. Ben Arfa is a good choice now.Chen Zhun didn't intend to hoard too many people at the left midfielder position, because Chen Zhun had already established the main force at the left midfielder position, and that was Gareth Bell.

The British scouting report did not update new players. At that time, it was very difficult to scout young players from other teams in the UK. It was lucky to find one or two.Chen Zhun didn't pay much attention either.Chen Zhun thinks these players are enough for him.
