Chapter 9: The team assembles

Luton Town hired a Chinese as their manager, and the Chinese quickly brought four new signings to Luton Town - it seemed that Luton transfer efficiency was good, but when the media broke the resumes of these four players, the fans could only be disappointed!

The only player to look forward to with the four is Manchester United's Under-18 player Drinkwater, the only player Luton have spent money on – in order to get Drinkwater, Luton will need to pay the Reds 100,000 pounds a year on loan, while also paying Drinkwater's wages.

This is a player from a club as big as Manchester United, even though he is only an 18-year-old, but the players will at least expect him to be - this is a Manchester United player!

Manchester United's youth brand still has a good reputation in England.

The remaining three players left Luton fans a little desperate.

Charlie Austin, a player from the ninth division.

Jamie Vardy, another amateur league player.

N'Golo Kante, a Frenchman, is only one hundred and sixty-nine centimeters tall. Oh my God, where did Luton get this piece from....

At this time, the hearts of Luton fans were already full of disappointment with the club. Having been deducted 30 points at the start of the season was already frustrating, and now the team is acting in a way that looks completely unambitious and ready to fall out of the professional league system.

Yes, in the eyes of Luton fans, the club's behavior is now completely unenterprising, the team no longer wants to return to the Championship, but hires a Chinese coach, and then finds a few amateur players, at most a half-finished loan from Manchester United....

Isn't this kind of behavior a self-depravity, but isn't it ready to play in a non-league system?

"Luton fans may need to be prepared for years of struggle in the amateur league," wrote the Hat-Seller, Luton's best-selling local newspaper, gloomily.

And just as the fans were worried, and the media were either ridiculing or sympathetic, the team finally began to assemble and start preparing for the new season.

Captain Kevin Keane was the first player to return to the team, and in the manager's office, he met the team's new head coach, Gao Bo.

Kevin Keane frowned at the manager who was younger than himself, he was not despised because Gao Bo was Chinese, he was worried about the future of the team purely because of the young of the other party.

Gao Bo looked at the physically strong player in front of him and quietly opened his eyes.

This is a very strong midfielder, with a very balanced technical attributes, he can play on the left and right wings, as well as in the middle, although there is nothing particularly outstanding in terms of attributes, but this is a Championship level player after all, let him play in the English second division is already football!

"Kevin, I'm the team's head coach Gao Bo." Gao Bo stretched out his hand with a smile, if he can handle it in terms of training and tactics, then in managing the locker room, he must have a captain who is enough to calm the field, and make sure that this captain is on his side.

Kevin Keane has been with the team for many years, and he is not a grumpy prickly himself, although he is a little hesitant about Gao Bo's ability, but he still reaches out in the face of Gao Bo's overtures.

"We'll have a good time working together!" Gao Bo said with a smile.

Maybe.... Kevin Keane was a little skeptical, but he didn't tear down Gao Bo's stage either.

At this time, on the training ground, the players also came to the training ground one after another.

The players gathered around to talk about their new manager.

The previous manager left before the end of last season, and the change of manager is the most interesting topic for the players, who are still very curious about the new manager.

Through the local newspapers in Luton, they still got a rough idea of what the new manager is like.

A Chinese who led Chelsea Under-18s to the FA Youth Cup before moving to Luton Town to take over the mess.

The players who remain in the squad know how bad the situation is, but it's not without its benefit to most of the players here at the moment – at least once the main players of the squad are sold out, the rest of the squad will need to be filled by players who have been promoted from the Academy.

Of course, that doesn't include twenty-seven-year-old forward Sam Parker.

Sam Parker has just recovered from injury and looks like he's gained a lot of weight, but the forward is in a great mood.

"Hey bro, you know what, Bristol Rangers contacted me today!! You know this team, the team in League One!! Sam Parker put his arm around a player's shoulders to show off, and his voice was loud enough for everyone on the training pitch to hear.

Some of the players have a look of envy, the striker is not worried about his next home, Sam Parker is a player who has played in the Championship and many First Division teams will be interested in him.

"Have you heard, the new coach of the team is a Chinese..... Oh... Chinese... Ha ha!! Sam Parker exaggerated. Do Chinese know what football looks like? ”

Sam Parker has no respect for the new manager, but his remarks darkened the expressions of the rest of Luton's players. Indeed, the news that a Chinese became the head coach of the team definitely did not improve the morale of the team.

At least the players have never seen the Chinese standing in the coach's box directing the game.

How will the Chinese command the game?

If you don't obey, will you beat someone up like Bruce Lee?

"That's enough, Sam! If you don't want to stay in the team, you can leave at any time! Another voice rang out on the training pitch was the team's main centre-back, George Parker.

Despite both men's surnames as Parker, George is a Luton Academy graduate and the captain's armband is worn on Kevin Keane's arm when he is unavailable.

"Whoa, whoa, our big star is going to give the Chinese coach a head..."Sam Parker is not at all afraid of twenty-six-year-old George Parker.

However, at this time, captain Kevin Keane walked into the training ground with several young-looking players.

Sam Parker immediately shut up, he was not afraid of George, but he was still mentally worried in the face of Kevin Keane, Kevin Keane was much stronger than Sam Parker in terms of strength and aura!

And the reason why Sam Parker said that the team was interested in him was not true.

Because he had just recovered from a serious injury last season, there is no guarantee of his form at this time, so there is nothing Bristol is interested in him.

However, Sam Parker believes that the only striker the team can use now is himself, and the team has sold so many people, and the salary budget on hand must be not bad, so he wants to give himself a salary increase through this method.

As for Gao Bo, Sam Parker didn't take the other party into account, a backstabbing man hired by a team to save money - at least that's how Sam Parker understands it.

"Let me introduce you, this is N'Golo Kante, Frenchman, playing defensive midfielder, seventeen years old!" Kevin Keane introduces the players to the rookies.

Kante bared his big white teeth and smiled shyly.

A seventeen-year-old Frenchman, who really doesn't know where he got his manager, can really get a foothold in those muscular jungles of the English second division?

The players looked at Kante, who was less than 1.7 meters tall, with suspicion.

Compared with Kante, the fierce-looking Vardy is obviously not treated like this, even if he doesn't know how strong Vardy is in football, but look at his thick body and fierce face, you can know that this is not a guy to mess with.

Most of the players' eyes are on Drinkwater, a player on loan at Manchester United, if nothing else, in two or three years, Drinkwater will definitely be able to find a job in the Championship or even the Premier League, after all, a player who has played in the United Academy for the Under-18s.

And the most uncharacteristic of the four is Charlie Austin, so he is also ignored by the other players.
