The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 912

912 Thank You, My Dear Colleagues
It’s already mid-July and Leeds United are regrouping to prepare for the new season.

The Premier League will officially start in mid-August, so Leeds United have only about a month left to prepare.

This time, Leeds United gathered in Switzerland!

This year, because of the Olympics in the capital, Zhong Cheng did not take the ball to Asia. He chose to train in Europe and play warm-up matches to prepare for the new season.

However, this time around, the gathering of Leeds United players was not particularly perfect, because some of the players in the formation were on their way to the national Olympic team in that country to compete in the Beijing Olympics.

Leeds United have called up Ivanovic of Serbia, Alexander Pato of Brazil, Compani of Belgium, David Louis and Hulk of Belgium, and Stephen M’Bia of Cameroon.

This time, Leeds United lost a lot of people.

Also, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has just finished the European Cup and is still on holiday, has yet to arrive at the club.

Cristiano Ronaldo is due to officially debut on August 8, 2008.

Therefore, there were still relatively few players in the Leeds United Formation. However, Zhong Cheng had called Lucaku, Bogba, and the others from the youth team to the first team to train with the team in Switzerland.

Lucaku and Bogba are both 15 years old and can play for the first team. If they play for Leeds United now, they will probably break Azar’s record for the youngest player to play for the first team.

Bogba, Lukaku and the others naturally hoped that they could play for Leeds United’s first team as soon as possible.

Lukaku and Bogba both knew that Leeds United were well suited for young players. Azar and Debraune both had opportunities to play for Leeds United’s first team at a very young age, so they naturally wanted to play for Leeds United’s first team.

In the past few days of training, these two lads worked very hard.

Because there were a lot of people who didn’t come, the two young men also got some chances.

However, Lucaku and Bogba were tall and strong. They did not look like 15-year-olds. They looked more mature than their peers.

Especially Lucaku. This guy’s body is really strong. He is a leapfrog in the youth team. He was now 15 years old, but Lucaku was competing in U17 or U19 matches. In front of his companions who were three or four years older than him, Lucaku had never suffered a loss in the confrontation. He had even crushed these big brothers and displayed extraordinary talent.

Lucaku was the existence of BUG in U15 and almost the same in U17. Scoring goals was like taking things from the bag. In U19, Lucaku also played well and scored a lot of goals.

That’s why there are so many teams trying to poach Leeds United’s Lukaku.

Similarly, Pogba was the same. Student Pogba was also a leapfrog. He and Lukaku had a tacit understanding. They were both tied together. A good pair of attacking partners and combinations. The two of them started the match together. Almost all of the matches were dominated by him and Lukaku.

The talent of these two people is very high, no wonder there are many clubs trying to poach them.

Now Manchester United, Arsenal and Bayern Munich are all trying to poach them, even Real Madrid are tempted to get in touch with them and seduce them into joining them.

However, Lukaku and Pogba preferred to stay at Leeds United because they knew that staying at Leeds would make it easier for them to stand out.

They would obviously have to stay in the youth team for at least three seasons before they could make it to the first team,

But in Leeds United, it’s different. Aren’t they in Leeds United’s first team now?

And last season, Leeds United play in both the Carling Cup and the FA Cup with youngsters and substitutes, giving Lukaku and Pogba more chances to see them play in the Leeds first team, even in the Silver Pigeon Carling Cup and the FA Cup.

During these days of training, Lukaku and Pogba were very serious, very serious, it was clear that they wanted to put me in every opportunity to show themselves.

Leeds United’s first-team players were also shocked. These two were really talented. In normal training matches, the two of them were still very good at fighting. Especially Lukaku, who seemed to be an adult. Although he was still a bit immature, he had already surpassed his peers by a lot.

‘”This is genius, this is genius!” Albertini looked at the two of them and praised, “This is genius!”

Zhong Cheng only chuckled and didn’t say anything.

Albertini immediately turned to look at Zhong Cheng. His eyes were filled with shock. Zhong Cheng’s sunshine was truly too frightening. Where did he find these young geniuses?

Moreover, there were some outstanding players in the Leeds United youth teams at all levels. There were even many who were recognized as geniuses. Looking at Leeds United’s talent pool, Albertini thought, “As long as Zhong Cheng is not stunned, Leeds United will definitely be brilliant for a long time, because Leeds United does not lack the least talent!”

–Division Line–

These days, Zhong Cheng was leading the team to train.

However, Nai Smith, Albertini and DiMatteo were the ones who really started their training. Zhong Cheng had set up a strategy and assigned every detail to each assistant coach, letting them help the team train. Zhong Cheng was in charge of the overall situation on the sidelines.

This was Zhong Cheng’s training style!

Every coach had his own unique style of coaching. Some of the head coaches were Zhong Cheng. Some head coaches liked to do it personally, and when they trained, they would even personally end up in the normal school. They had to firmly control every detail in their hands.

You can’t say which way is better, because there is no qualitative, no best way, only a more suitable way for yourself.

Zhong Cheng was familiar with this way of taking charge of the overall situation.

It was mainly because Zhong Cheng had a group of very powerful coaches under him. Nai Smith, Canales, Albertini, DiMatteo, and the others were all able to complete their respective training tasks very well. Zhong Cheng also trusted them, so the efficiency of this team was very high.

And these assistant coaches have a sense of accomplishment, because they have things to do here, and many things they are personally responsible for. They were able to display their talents and at the same time gain Zhong Cheng’s trust. They were very happy here.

Some assistant coaches would be a little unhappy when they went to the head coaches who liked to do things personally, because almost everything was done personally by the head coaches. They could not display their talents, they were only assisting them to do some chores!

Therefore, Nai Smith and the others liked Zhong Cheng’s method very much.

Nai Smith and the others were very motivated!

Zhong Cheng was watching from the sidelines, watching the training of these coaches. When the training of these assistants did not meet his requirements, Zhong Cheng would go forward to explain and request in detail.

This is not to say that these assistants did not do well and made mistakes. Rather, Zhong Cheng wanted these training to echo his tactical requirements and let him control some details. It was because there were some things that could only be said but could not be expressed. They were not clear in a large pile of paper documents, and others could not comprehend them. Only when they reached the training ground could they discover some problems and adjust them easily.

To tell the truth, in Zhong Cheng, his coaching team was very powerful. Leeds United’s success today was largely due to his coaching team.

In the beginning, Zhong Cheng should be most grateful to Oscar Ortega for supporting Zhong Cheng’s entire strategy. Without his achievements in physical fitness and defense, Zhong Cheng’s tactics would not have been possible. Zhong Cheng’s tactics were completely based on physical fitness and high-intensity defense.

Oscar Ortega is very good at physical training and defensive training. He wants to be physically fit and then defend as much as possible. He uses physical pressure and cautious pressure to force the opponent to play or receive the ball and make mistakes in the instant he passes it.

Then, DiMateo refined the training of defense, came up with a set of feasible defensive tactics, so that the players adapt to defensive positions, as well as between the cooperation of defense and prediction and so on. Dimateo from Italy is very familiar with this set and has done very well.

After that, attacking was the responsibility of Rogers and the others. Rogers had studied in Europe many times. He was a head coach who respected attacking and controlling. He was influenced by Spanish football, so he had a lot of experience in passing control to break through to the front court. This also helped Zhong Cheng a lot.

Nai Smith was a very comprehensive training coach. He did everything meticulously and steadily. He was the person who was in charge of the training.

Zhong Cheng’s coaching team also included goalkeeper coach David Seaman, other coaches Albertini, Canales, and others. Each of them had their own characteristics and had their own responsibilities. This team operated very well and efficiently, which was why they had such a good result.

Zhong Cheng was still very grateful to his assistants. Without them, his tactical ideas could not be realized. Of course, these people didn’t lack Zhong Cheng. Otherwise, they would have come up with such a good and domineering tactic.

They complement each other!

However, at this moment, a piece of bad news came.

Dimatteo found Zhong Cheng, Dimatteo said to Zhong Cheng: “Sorry, boss, I may not stay at Leeds United, I have to leave!”

Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned, but he wasn’t surprised.

Because when Rogers left, Zhong Cheng thought of this day!

Zhong Cheng said, “Are you going to teach alone?”

DiMatteo nodded slightly and admitted: “Yes! Milton Cairns of the Premier League has found me and wants to be their head coach!”

Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, as expected!

Dimateo immediately said, “Sorry, boss!”

Zhong Cheng said, “No, no, no, no, no, I’m sorry! This is a good thing. I also hope to see you come out and go to Milton Keynes to do a good job. I will take good care of you!”

DiMatteo was filled with gratitude, really!

Over the past few years, he had learned a lot from Zhong Cheng, and these few years had greatly benefited him. Not only did he learn a lot from Zhong Cheng, he also learned a lot from his very powerful colleagues. He was very grateful to God for having allowed him to work with such a good group of colleagues for such a long time.

“Thank you, my dear colleagues!” DiMatteo thanked him sincerely.
