Chapter 119 The Magical Vardy

After the end of the season, most players put their swords and guns into storage, and Ma Fang Nanshan began to rest happily.

This is also normal. After all, professional players are usually very tired, and basically have no freedom and holidays. Only during the end of the season can they live a little more comfortably.

However, the coach and the boss cannot rest. In the next time, besides updating his tactical ability and training plan, Ji Ya is constantly looking at the information sent by the scouts and thinking about the next step. How to adjust the lineup for the season.

The two central defenders on the defensive line were put into the transfer market by him, and the left back Mills also entered the transfer market. Dixon was reduced to a substitute in the second half of last season. He also knows that he is unlikely He won the first start in the Premier League, so he also proposed a transfer. Jenkinson's position is right back and center back, so Southampton must at least buy a left back who can play the game.

The substitutes on the back line can be replaced by players from the youth team. They usually train in the first team and return to the youth team for games. Prost, the director of the youth training camp, has recommended several players who he thinks have potential. Lem Chambers, only 16 and a half years old, can play right back and center back, Luke Shaw, only 16 years old, can play left back, they are still young, although they have high talents, but they must play games Not enough, but it is a good choice to train with the first team and then return to the youth team.

And Ji Ya said long ago that for this back line, it is enough to buy a left back who can play the main force. The main force in the Premier League, Southampton is only a substitute.

According to the general practice, it is very appropriate to buy a few veterans as substitutes in such a situation, but Southampton is a newly promoted team—a newly promoted team buys veterans, often for relegation. You can earn some money while playing games, so it doesn't meet Southampton's needs.

So instead of reluctantly buying a veteran, it is better to let the young players of the team serve as substitutes. Anyway, Southampton's defenders have a high attendance rate, and there is almost no chance to come off the bench.

"Is this too risky?" Benelli was a little puzzled.

"It's a bit risky, but it's normal. I don't like ordinary players, and the defense must be stable. If you have a suitable veteran who has a certain strength and is willing to play as a substitute, I have no objection." Ji Ya explain.

"This difficulty is a bit high." Benelli smiled wryly.

Ji Ya shrugged his shoulders. In fact, it was the courage given to him by the characteristics of Lovren and Fonte. These two central defenders are not well-known, but they are so easy to use. There is no problem with starting every game. There is really something wrong. At that time, it is also possible to let young players like Jenkinson Chambers and Luke Shaw take the top.

As for the midfielder, Ji Ya doesn't want to do anything for the time being, but put Liet and James, who can't play, into the transfer market. Prost also recommends an all-around midfielder, Ward Prowse, This is also a player under the age of 17, but it looks more promising. He has been selected for the England under-17 youth team. Chambers and Luke? Shaw are too young to be selected.

Southampton's youth training has always been commendable, and Prost's vision also made Ji Ya trust it.

Forward Sherlock Holmes was put on the transfer market by Ji Ya, while Austin stayed. Ji Ya felt that his strength was good, and he was willing to be a substitute. Last season, Austin played nearly [-] times in various competitions , scored six goals and is a very suitable substitute.

As for the players to be introduced, Ji Ya has some goals in mind, but he doesn't need to move yet - the midfield is a bit overcrowded now, and if he wants to buy players, he has to sell them first.

But another thing has been confirmed.

That is Vardy who was loaned out last season.

Although Stevenage is a newly promoted horse, they are still a bit ambitious, so at the beginning, they really looked down on Vardy, who played in the seventh-tier league before, but because of the provisions of the contract, he can only be allowed to play some games .

Vardy's performance was not very good at the beginning. After all, it took a lot of time to adapt to the three-level competition. However, when the season was halfway through, Stevenage's players began to suffer more injuries and a shortage of personnel. The head coach also had to use Vardy as a center again.

Vardy, who has fully adapted to the rhythm of League Two, has begun to show his ability. He runs actively and shoots decisively. Although he is not the kind of high center forward who can play an active role in tactics, he can continue to score goals—so Slowly, he became an indispensable main center for Stevenage!

In the second half of the season, under his leadership, Stevenage won many battles, all the way from the relegation zone to the top of the standings. By the end of the season, Stevenage actually ranked seventh... …

League Two can have four teams promoted to League One, so the top three will advance directly, and then the fourth to seventh four teams will play in the play-offs. In the play-offs, Stevenage is not dominant , but because of Vardy's outstanding performance, they first beat the fourth-ranked Accrington in two rounds, and then defeated the sixth-ranked Torquay United with one goal in the final, and miraculously won the last League One spot!

If it weren't for Southampton's brilliant performance in the English Championship this year, and at the same time won the Europa League, Stevenage would be the most amazing team in England's lower leagues this season.

According to their strength, it is difficult to relegation in League Two, but they miraculously broke into League One - there is only one biggest hero, and that is Jamie Vardy!

He only scored one goal in the first half of the season, but in the second half of the season he scored [-] goals in [-] league games. In the play-offs, he even swept all the goals of Stevenage. Scored four goals in the game, and almost single-handedly pushed Stevenage into League One!

For Stevenage, they do nothing else now, they have to keep Vardy.

After communicating with Vardy, Kiya decided to loan Vardy to Stevenage again for one season. The loan fee is still zero, and Southampton is still responsible for Vardy's work, but now, he no longer needs to be in the contract. Emphasize the need to give Vardy a chance to play.

Because Vardy is now in Stevenage, he will no longer have a main position.

"If we are still in the League One now, I will definitely reuse you as the main force, but then we will play in the Premier League. What you lack is not the game, but to adapt to a higher level of competition, so play in the League One for another year. One day, you will shine in Southampton," Kiya said to Vardy.

Vardy believes that too.
