The Greatest Performer on the Football Field

Chapter 26 - 18 year old coach



   “Super Subsolsolya is about to retire”

   The front page headline in the newspaper is not surprising, but Sun Wu’s eyes fell on the subtitle.

   “Solskjaer recognizes the possibility of following Roy Keane’s footsteps”

Well, Roy Keane, the greatest captain in the history of Red Devils, retired last summer and immediately took over Sunderland to bring the penultimate team in this league to the Premier League. Just a few days ago, he also Named “Best Coach of the Year” by the League Coaching Committee.

  It is interesting to list the fact that Roy Keene does not actually have a UEFAPro certificate, which means that he is not qualified to coach the top European competitions, so this summer, Robbie Keane must obtain the UEFAPro certificate…

   And Solskjaer wants to follow in the footsteps of Roy Keane, then he must plan ahead…

   “It is true!” Sun Wu took the case and there is no other place where the information is more complete than the coach training class organized by the FA! “

   set the goal, Sun Wu has a very strong execution, half an hour later, he inquired the address of the FA Football Club in Lancashire: Preston Club.

  ……

“Two weekends, a total of four days of courses, the last day of the exam, please pay £112.” The staff is very polite, although the applicants in front are very young, but there are precedents, many young people who cannot continue their careers will choose to do A coach, after all, is only Level 1 test, not difficult.

   Although Preston is now sinking in the Premier League, his qualifications are very old. He is also the first league champion and the first team double champion of the top league in England.

   Sitting in the conference room in Preston the next day, Sun Wu was a little confused, and the left and right were middle-aged fat people who were blessed and deformed. Is this really a regular football coaching course?

   “Hey, kid, what are you doing here!” A middle-aged man who was barely normal came over and handed over a lot of information. “It’s really rare for Orientals to come to the coach license.”

  Sun Wu lowered his head and opened the information, his mouth twitched, what kind of stuff is this!

   There are no tactical materials. They are the principles for setting up first aid, athlete psychology, and the content and form of training courses…

   112 pounds… It should have been almost 2000 yuan in 2007. It’s really feeding the dogs. The FA also has the task of generating income!

   Waiting for the FA’s licensed coach to start the class, the painting style completely made Sun Wu unable to understand.

   “Welldone!”

   “Goodjob!”

   “Fantastic!”

   “Even if you make a mistake, you have to tell your child that you are doing very well, but if you do that, it will be even better!”

   “Know that encouragement is far more effective than harshness.”

  The head was empty and ready to be stuffed into. Sun Wu, who had countless tactical materials, sat down dumbfounded below, but others listened with interest.

   “Yes, I keep telling my son that his talent is not worse than Gascoyne!” a middle-aged fat man shouted.

  The teacher on the stage shrugged, “So, you should collect all the wine at home, otherwise the country will suffer a great loss.”

   Waiting for the second week to stand on the training ground in Preston, Sun Wu finally understood that the so-called Level1 exam is aimed at the introduction of football for children.

All children under the age of ten are on the training ground. Parents are shouting loudly on the sidelines to cheer on their sons. Each candidate needs to set up a 15-minute training class for the children. The examiner will stand by the court to watch the entire training class and give Comment.

   The name Best is still a little famous in Lancashire. After all, it is a Chinese. The examiners who participated in the training course did not find it, but the parents of the children on the sidelines accidentally discovered this Blackburn Best.

   “That’s the best player in the FA Cup final…”

   “The jerseys are ripped…”

   “The best goal of this FA Cup…”

   The chatter of twitter is getting louder and louder, and finally a Blackburn fan asks aloud: “Best, Best 38, is it really you?”

  Sun Wu turned around and smiled reluctantly.

The defeat of Liverpool in the Champions League final silenced the media in England and moved the reporting centre to the annual summer transfer period, but this time most of the transfers have not officially started yet, so… The news of the best court test at Lee Stadium appeared in various newspapers…

  ……

   Spain.

   Barcelona, ​​the capital of Catalonia.

   On the left side of Aristides Avenue, a large farm-style courtyard is filled with various bars and cafes.

  Although it is a little quiet, there is a constant flow of people, and the sound of the shutter is constantly connected, because this is the entrance to the world-famous quarry.

   In 1989, Barcelona coach John Cruyff decided to establish a youth training camp here, copying the concept of the Ajax youth camp, and the La Masia youth camp was established.

In a sense, Cruyff, who can criticize Barcelona up to the chairman and head coach and down to the most common staff, does not rely on the contribution of his players and coaching career to this club, but this La Masia Youth Camp.

For more than a decade, La Masia did not bring the gospel to the sinking Barcelona. Until the end of the last century, with the emergence of Guardiola and Puyol, the form began to change, and then Messi, Xavi, Ines The emergence of Towers and Buttes has convinced all Barcelona people that the quarry is the foundation of this club.

  The middle-aged man pushed open the door and walked into the coffee shop.

   “Joseph!” Several guests greeted each other with their hands up.

Although it has only been more than two months since I returned to the city, nothing seems to have changed. Friends everywhere, familiar buildings… Guardiola turned to look at the corner~www.mtlnovel.com~ but this is not included Coaches running away from La Masia Youth Camp.

   “Eddie, what are you looking at?”

   “It’s nothing.” Patrick put down the newspaper and lighted up his watch. “You’re late again.”

   “You have been away from Spain for too long.” Guardiola shrugged. “We are here to drink coffee, not to watch the bullfight, we are late for less than an hour.”

  The Spaniards only keep their time when they participate in the bullfighting event…

   “Did you think about it?” Guardiola ordered a cup of coffee, “Come help me, start with Barcelona B.”

  Patrick was still a little hesitant. “Actually, you don’t lack helpers.”

   “But there is no coach from La Masia.” Guardiola raised his finger, “I used to have a dream, the Champions League final, 11 La Masia youth training members start…”

   “What a arrogant and great dream…”

   “So I need your help.” Guardiola glanced at the newspaper on the table and suddenly couldn’t help laughing. “He started his coaching career at the age of 18, won’t he be Portuguese again!”

   “The Portuguese were just translators…” Patrick smiled. “It’s a Chinese, I mentioned it to you last time.”

   Guardiola tilted his head for a moment, and then said: “I remember, you were very excited at that time and played well in the FA Cup against Manchester United?”

   “Well, but he seems to be very obsessed with tactics, originally wanted to follow me to Spain for a vacation…”

Guardiola was interested in listening to his friends talking, and suddenly said: “Eddie, you know, most of the training grounds in La Masia are empty during the summer, but a few little guys will add Practice, or let him come too.”
