Greenery Heavyweight

()Chapter 107 Newcomer report

Early the next morning, he took a taxi from his villa to the stadium, and skillfully greeted David, the guard who had guarded him once, and Li Yi stepped into the training ground.

When passing by the parking lot, looking at the empty training ground, Li Yi, who knew that his teammates hadn't come yet, suddenly had an idea.

Speaking of which, Li Yi should also buy a car.After all, as a "rich man", without a car, it is really not the same thing, and it is very inconvenient.

Facing the direction of the parking lot for a moment, Li Yi kept this matter in mind, and walked towards the training ground.

When Li Yi changed his clothes and came to the training ground alone, the training ground was still empty.Walking into the field, throwing the ball he came along to the ground, and swinging his legs, Li Yi wanted to practice shooting.

However, when Li Yi was almost ready to swing his legs, he suddenly stopped the movement of his feet.

As for the reason, what is it, it is very simple. If Li Yi remembers correctly, his final word has just been upgraded, so everything is a benefit for the first time, and Li Yi really doesn't want to waste it like this.

Thinking of this, Li Yi took the ball, went to the sideline, and jogged slowly.

When Li Yi was almost warmed up, a lot of people finally came to the training ground one after another. Among them, most of them were veterans from Crystal Palace, but there were also newcomers.

Smiling and chatting for a while with Diego Lopez, who came the second morning, the Crystal Palace team also came to the training ground.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, half an hour before the agreed training time, including Modric, Bale, and Muntari, the most expensive players in the Crystal Palace team, all came to the training ground in advance.

Seeing that all the players had arrived, Friedman no longer cared about the appointed time. He came to the training ground with a large notebook, and rushed all the players to the front of him. Friedman's lecture ,here we go.

Well, there are many newcomers in the team. Before the start of the season, it is a necessary process to have a lecture. However, in Li Yi's ears, those are all encouraging nonsense, so it's worth noting.

After talking for about 10 minutes, Friedman finally read out the speech he had prepared a long time ago.

Nodding to the team members who listened carefully to his reprimand, Friedman started the next necessary work before the formal training.

And this job, it's a bit funny to say, that is - recognize people!

It sounds funny, but in fact, it is very normal. Who told Crystal Palace to change almost half of the team in the new season?

Waiting for the players to introduce themselves one by one, in summary, the 23-man roster of Crystal Palace for the new season is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Diego Lopez, Julian Speroni

Defenders: Bale, Balzaretti, Pique, Fletcher, Hudson, Granville, Richardson, Jose Fonte, Danny Butfield, Clint Hill.

Midfield: Modric, Naismith, Joby McAnuff, McCann, Sean Derry, Muntari.

Forwards: Li Yi, Ariadiere, Dodge Shevci, Victor Moses, Scott Sinclair (on loan from Chelsea)

Among them, there are 2 goalkeepers, 10 defenders, 6 midfielders and 5 forwards.

Listening to the self-destruction of his teammates one by one, Li Yi immediately analyzed his current Crystal Palace in his mind.

First of all, there are a total of 10 defenders!Although there are little demons like Bell who may not play guards in the future, even with 9 players, it seems a bit bloated in a roster with only 23 players in total, but don't forget, Friedman likes to use His formation is 5-3-2, so 10 defenders is not too exaggerated.

Among them, the weakest link is the position of the goalkeeper.

But there is no way. After letting go of last season's main goalkeeper, Friedman has spent a lot of effort to keep Speroni, and he really has no experience to find a substitute.Fortunately, players in the position of goalkeeper are generally not prone to injuries and do not need to be rotated frequently. Therefore, 2 players are basically enough for a full season, unless Crystal Palace is too unlucky.

In addition, regarding his position, Li Yi must be the most concerned, 5 forwards!According to the usual situation, the competition should be very fierce, and Li Yi will be under great pressure.

However, after Li Yi carefully analyzed the team's five forwards, his worries disappeared in an instant.

5 strikers, plus Li Yi himself, a total of 3 are the original Crystal Palace players.In other words, it is said that there are 5 people competing, but in fact, Li Yi and 2 newcomers are competing for 2 starting positions.

Take a closer look, among the other two newcomers, there is a 2-year-old Sinclair who is younger than Li Yi.Li Yi would not believe that this kind of purely rented stuff is that Friedman would help others to work and neglect himself.

Therefore, even if no one said it at this time, the starting striker of Crystal Palace in the new season has basically been determined, and that is Ariadiere and Li Yi dug from the giants Arsenal!

As for the midfielder, looking at those rookies, Li Yi feels that Joby probably has no chance!

A midfielder needs an engineer, and Muntari happens to be such a character. Therefore, among the three starters, he must be one.

As for the team's offensive player, who is this Shemodric?

Well, there are 3 positions, but in fact, Joby's only hope is to compete for the last one!

But unfortunately,

Li Yi, who had no impression of the name Naismith, declared the death penalty to Joby in his heart after seeing Naismith himself!

So what, if Li Yi remembers correctly, this Naismith is the main midfielder after Toffee Everton. Everton is a mid-upstream team in the Premier League. What to compete with?

Well, so far, Li Yi has a rough forecast for the Crystal Palace lineup for the new season:

Goalkeeper: Diego Lopez

5 defenders: Bell, Pique, Balzaretti, Richardson, Hudson.

3 midfielders: Modric, Muntari, Naismith

2 forwards: Li Yi, Ariadiere.

To be honest, this lineup is not much weaker than those second-tier giants in terms of competitiveness.Perhaps, many years later, when the outside world learns that Crystal Palace only spent more than 2 million pounds to put together this lineup, they will be surprised to drop their eyes.

Of course, these are things for later, so there is no need to say more for the time being.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the self-introduction of the first-shot players, since today is the first day of training camp, Friedman can't make too many tactical arrangements.Thinking that the players had just experienced a pleasant vacation, Friedman only arranged some simple off-ball training, and ended the day's training camp.

As for the in-team training match, which both rookies and veterans are looking forward to, it was not officially staged until the fifth day after the start of the training camp.

The team has been training with the ball for two days. Friedman has a general idea of ​​the strength of the players on the field.In order to prove his concept, Li Yi was very fortunate to see it when he was grouped that day. Friedman "according" to his guess, gave the team arrangement.

The red team, that is, the team representing the main team 11, is impartial, and it is exactly those people that Li Yi guessed a few days ago.

As for the black team, those are naturally the ones left.

The 23 people were divided into two teams of 2 people. The only guy who unfortunately failed was Victor Moses on the forward line.

Before the game started, Friedman called Modric and Li Yi aside.

Uh, no, not 2 people, but 3 people.Because, what, Modric has just come out of his hometown of Croatia, and his English level is not enough for him to communicate with his teammates normally. Therefore, during normal training, Magic Flute had to bring a team interpreter.

"I have a certain understanding of the abilities of the team's players. In the new season, I will make some changes in terms of offense. Lee, the Gareth you recommended, whether it is the two-day training or the previous one I found out According to the information, this is a very fast side player with a certain personal breakthrough ability. In addition, Richardson on the right side is not weak in assisting the back row!

Therefore, in the new season, for the time being, I will set the team's offensive method as the main two crosses from the bottom of the wing, supplemented by penetration in the middle. Lee, you have to pay attention, after the team's tactics have changed, it will no longer be as simple as before, and the ball will be on your head when you get the ball.Next, you must strengthen your running position and ability to grab points!Any questions? "

After listening to Friedman's tactical explanation, Li Yi, who knew the other party's meaning very well, immediately nodded affirmatively.

Patting Li Yi on the shoulder, Friedman turned his head to the Magic Flute.

However, if Li Yi read it correctly, when he turned around, Friedman's brows showed a slight fluctuation that should not have occurred.

Looking at the translator next to Modric, Li Yi instantly understood why Friedman was dissatisfied.

In other words, if a coach communicates with his subordinates, he must also pass it on through a third party. As a coach, he will not be too happy.

"About Luka, there is nothing to say about your ability. You are absolutely qualified to play the core role of the team. However, let's not mention those for the time being. I have only one request for you, and that is to learn English! I will give you 2 months , Two months later, my minimum requirement for you is, within the scope of the stadium, the dialogue between us, I don't want a third party to exist, can you do it?"

Seeing the translator convey Friedman's previous words to the magic flute with a constipated expression, Li Yi thought badly in his heart, "Jie Friedman is not kind! Let the magic flute I fired myself within 2 months! Haha! Didn’t that translator deliberately play tricks to discredit him?”

Since he couldn't understand Croatian, Li Yi saw that the translator quickly explained something to Modric carefully, and then, after about half a minute, the magic flute nodded to Friedman, indicating I understand.
