Afternoon.

Wan Sheng still did not appear at the training ground.

The entire Manchester City squad, led by Diamares and Pierce, continued to train as normal.

Now Manchester City's training work is almost entirely done by Diamares, who has worked with Wan Sheng for many years and has a lot of experience in this area.

Pierce and Bergkamp, but only to guide a single player, in terms of the general work, they can be regarded as Wansheng's 'assistant', share some technical work, and are also responsible for managing the entire team's 'chores', the importance of the work of the two is less important, but they can help Wansheng share the work and reduce the work pressure for Wansheng, which is also very important, but in any case, the closest player is always Diamares, because he does direct team training.

In the afternoon, the players also did normal training under the leadership of Diamares, as usual, first the whole team did long-distance running and other activities, and then individual physical and physical training.

Several new players enjoy the feeling of training, although the process is really tiring, but the training atmosphere of the whole Manchester City team is very good, almost none of the 'old players' will be lazy, each of them is doing their own training, even the famous Morris, Copele Ferreira and others, are also doing it step by step, there is no sloppiness and laziness at all.

This kind of training atmosphere infects the new players and makes them all work together with the others.

Manchester City's overall training is all progressive, thanks to Wansheng's leadership over the past two seasons.

Wansheng requires everyone to complete their own training content, and is extremely strict and does not allow any laziness, such as running 100 meters with the ball, running 99 meters is not good, must complete 100 meters. A lot of players are used to this kind of demand, so they don't go for laziness.

The old players are not lazy, the new players follow suit, and there is a natural training atmosphere.

Everyone is immersed in training and it's kind of relaxing to have a chat or two with someone once in a while, and many of the new players enjoy it. Because the team is positive, and in the process of training, you can get to know your teammates.

It was then that Bergkamp walked over.

No one paid much attention to Bergkamp because he would occasionally come over and give instructions on a player's training, but this time it was different and the Dutchman walked straight up to Darren Bent and said to him. "Darren, Wansheng asked you to go to the office."

"Huh?"

Darren Bent didn't react for a while, and when he understood what Bergkamp was talking about, he suddenly felt a little apprehensive.

Darren Bent asked with some trepidation, "Dennis, do you know what the boss told me about?" ”

Bergkamp shook his head and said. "You'll find out when you go."

Darren Bent's face darkened suddenly.

Everyone else looked at it.

Quite a few with gloating expressions, Ziegler quipped. "Go ahead, there must be something good in the boss calling you!"

Many people laughed along.

This scene left several new players unclear, and Torres asked Silva, "David, why are you laughing?" ”

Silva was stunned for a moment, then explained to Torres.

Listened to Silva's words. Torres and Martin Petrov only learned that the 'boss', who is the head coach Wan Sheng, is a very serious person.

They had already learned this in the morning, and the young manager was really serious. is also very majestic, and it is no wonder that the whole team is a little afraid of him.

"It's really a little scary to face the boss alone. He's a little too serious, and you'll know if you've been through it, and even if it's a good thing to call you, you're a little reluctant to face him......," David Silva began.

Ivan Crewe nodded his head as he listened, and he felt deeply.

I still remember that more than three years ago, when he was still playing for Derby County, who were still relegated from League One, Wan Sheng was called over as soon as he was the team's manager.

At that time, he was worried to death, but he didn't expect that after that, Wan Sheng formulated a huge training plan for him, so that his strength could improve rapidly, and until now, he is very famous in English football.

But thinking about that experience, Ivan Crewe never wants to face it again.

――――

While everyone was talking about it at the training ground, Darren Bent was already 'put to the test' in his office.

Wan Sheng was looking at Darren Bent with a thoughtful expression on his face, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Originally, Darren Bent felt very pressured when he faced Wansheng alone, and Wansheng's attitude made Darren Bent even more worried, and even lowered his head for a while, not daring to look at Wansheng.

Wan Sheng didn't know what Darren Bent was thinking, in fact, at this point he was thinking about the problems he had thought about before.

The team's forward line.

Manchester City's forward line is considered by the media to be the most powerful in all of Europe, as there were many goals scored last season by either Nicolas Anelka, Darren Bent, or Ivan Crewe, who made an occasional cameo as a striker.

The combined goals of several players give Manchester City the most efficient forward line in Europe.

But in fact, Wansheng thinks that the team's forward line has always been a little chaotic, just last season, Darren Bent and Anelka can't cooperate at all, many times, he has to let Bergkamp play a cameo shadow striker, or let Ivan Crewe position the premise, to cooperate with Darren Bent or Anelka, in short, the team's forward coordination is the worst of the three fronts.

Now Anelka is gone, Torres is here, but the team is still not much better.

More importantly, Darren Bent and Torres are the kind of players who can score goals, and both are of the same type, both of them are strikers who are at the front of the goal.

So what about the new season? Or will Torres and Darren Bent take turns and then let David Silva, Ivan Crewe and others make cameos as second striker?

Definitely not!

Not to mention the tactical power of such a play, first of all, Darren Bent and Torres will not be satisfied, because their playing time will be sacrificed.

In addition, this does not allow the team to play a strong forward ability, both of them are extremely capable forward players, if they can play together. is the best choice.

Wan Sheng thought about it for a while, and finally decided to make adjustments from Darren Bent.

There are several reasons for this.

One is Torres.

The Spanish 'golden boy' is more technical, he plays better than Darren Bent in front, and Torres has just arrived in the team, so he has to adapt to the tactics and the team. It's stressful enough, and if he is given a new task, it is almost impossible to accomplish, and he doesn't want to spend so many euros to buy a 'parallel import' in the end.

The second is the consideration of attribute ability, Darren Bent is more comprehensive than Torres.

Defensively, Darren Bent isn't very good, but he's still a little better than Torres, plus. The key point is that Darren Bent has more than '100' reverence for him, and he can enjoy the 200% attribute ability bonus of the players' union system, and under these attribute ability bonuses, Darren Bent is much more comprehensive than Torres.

There is no problem with Darren Bent's ability and tactical adaptability, and he can adapt as soon as possible with some adjustments to his position.

In addition to comprehensive ability, he is good at ability. And for a very important reason, Torres. The ability to be very versatile, the most important thing is that the shots are very accurate, the mentality in front of goal is very good, and it is best to stay at the front of the formation.

Darren Bent's ability is reflected in his speed and a certain amount of dominance in the penalty area, if he can match up with Torres. The power of the combination of the two is by no means as simple as "1+1==2".

Wan Sheng believes in Darren Bent, so he calls Bent, intending to talk to him alone.

In Darren Bent's apprehension, Wan Sheng finally spoke, "Darren. In the next training session, I hope that your position can be withdrawn a little bit......"

"Huh?" Darren Bent was stunned for a moment, and then his face was a little gloomy.

In fact, Darren Bent knew the competition he was facing since the arrival of Torres' transfer, and he felt that this season would be the same as last season, with him and Torres taking turns, but now that the coach has made him move back, is he going to make way for Torres?

Darren Bent was unconvinced, he didn't feel like he was any worse than the Spaniard.

Wan Sheng looked at Darren Bent, he knew what this guy was thinking, and it was not surprising that anyone would think so, but he just smiled slightly, as if he had seen through Darren Bent's heart, and said to him, "Bent, you have been at Manchester City for two years, and I have always trusted you and thought that you would be the best player in the world. ”

Darren Bent looked up, not understanding why the coach was saying that.

Wan Sheng stood up, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I'm not asking you to give way to Fernando, but to train you." ”

"Cultivate?"

"Yes, cultivate. You know, just as a striker, in fact, it's very difficult to reach the level of an international superstar, like Thierry Henry, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Shepchenko, etc., these strikers are very good, but they are worse than Ronaldinho, and compared to Messi, who is now famous in Barcelona, you know what I mean? ”

"Boss, do you mean the awards?"

"A little." Wan Shengdao, "Like a simple striker player, even if he scores a lot of goals, it is difficult to win individual awards such as the Ballon d'Or, because it is difficult for a striker to play a decisive role in a team. ”

"It's the same with our team, the core players in the team ......"

"Lee!" Darren Bent said with certainty.

"That's right, it's Lee, he's the heart of the team, the core of the offense and defense, the core of the organization, he's the captain and he's very important to the team. But he's not a striker and he doesn't score many goals. Do you understand what I'm saying? ”

Darren Ben nodded, but he still didn't understand what it cared about and his position retreating, was it to let him replace Morris...... That's almost impossible.

"So I said to develop you, I want you to be a well-rounded player, like ...... Dennis, or rather, Dennis, who can score more goals than Dennis. ”

With that said, Darren Bent kind of got it.

Bergkamp is the best second striker in the world, his passing ability is unmatched, and Thierry Henry has scored more goals at Arsenal in large part because he has Bergkamp behind him.

Now Wansheng has let him retreat, obviously to let him cooperate with Torres, that is, to train him to play as a second striker?

But is it possible?

Wan Sheng nodded affirmatively, he walked to the desk, took out a training plan from the drawer, this training plan is thicker, there are a few pages, look through the various training programs, many of them are about passing, "This is your training plan, Darren, you are different from others, I believe that you can become one of the most successful stars in the world in the future, your future is by no means limited to a single striker, and this season, I hope you can partner with Torres to form the most powerful forward in the world!" ”

Darren Bent was stunned to hear this.

He has great trust in Wansheng, although he feels that his position is retreating, a little suspicious of giving way to Torres, but the 'most powerful forward in the world' is undoubtedly very attractive, and he has always trusted Wansheng, and he has no objection to making some sacrifices for the team, not to mention, Wansheng has formulated such a detailed training plan for him, this alone is better than most of his teammates, and perhaps only Morris in the whole team can have this treatment.

Darren Bent nodded firmly and said, "Boss, I'll do my best to adapt." ”

"I'm sure you can do it well."

Wan Sheng smiled with satisfaction, looking at the back of Darren Bent walking out of the office, he was already looking forward to it.

His last words of encouragement, which seemed to be encouraging, were not just encouragement, they were quite certain beliefs.

One is that Darren Bent has a high level of respect for him, and such a player must work hard in the direction he said, so as long as he completes the task of being a master of football training, he will definitely have a high level of personal ability.

The second is two coaching skills.

One is 'Potential Mining', which is "a skill that can be used to specialize in high-level skills, and use a talent that can be assigned to a player and increase its specific attribute by 20."

Note: Removed the ability point. The boost will disappear. ”

Last season, this skill effect has been used on Morris, and now that Morris has risen to the top, he has become one of the most versatile and outstanding players in the world, so Wan Sheng intends to use the skill on Darren Bent.

The reason why it is not used in the more capable Torres is very simple: Darren Bent's reverence for him is over 100, which belongs to his own people, Torres is very capable, but after all, he does not have much reverence for him, so naturally he can't talk about his own people.

Another very effective coaching skill is the honorary skill that Wan Sheng gained after leading the team to win the Asian Cup in Hong Kong, China.

"Aura of Honor for National Tournaments (Level 1 5/15): You can choose a single player to directly increase the ability of a certain attribute by 5%." (To be continued.) )
