Jolson's Adventure
After saying goodbye to Carl, Maher went to the side of the court with most of the players to stretch his muscles. This is necessary relaxation and can reduce muscle fatigue.
Head coach Hans seemed to have left early, and Mr. Wenger was nowhere to be seen.
The trial match was cruel. Hans certainly didn't want to announce the results on the spot, and tried to avoid communicating and saying goodbye to the players who didn't stay.
It would be more appropriate to go back first and then call one by one to notify them.
During the stretching process, Maher began to think about his future.
There is basically no problem staying in the team, but I don't know if Mr. Wenger or the scouts have noticed it... I think it's still relatively unlikely to be picked in one game.
He is not in a hurry. Improving strength is the kingly way at the moment.
Without strength, even if you go to the first team and other professional teams, it will be useless.
"A good training environment and ample time have been fought for. The new goal is to be promoted to the first team."
Maher changed his mentality and felt a sense of security. This is also a kind of improvement. At least he doesn't have to worry about returning to a displaced life.
The first thing he thought about was what skills he should practice next?
Of course, he would not give up the practice of long-range shooting and strength. However, he had been practicing these two skills in order to cope with today's trial match, hoping to equip himself with some powerful means to make a big splash.
Now that the trial match is over, if he only practices these two skills in the future, he will inevitably feel a little top-heavy.
From today's game, he has discovered that some abilities must be acquired as soon as possible.
Not to mention the highest level of lv5, at least he needs to reach the average level of professional players of lv3.
Otherwise, when he really enters the fiercely competitive professional league, he will not be able to adapt to the most basic game rhythm and cannot hold the ball.
At this time, even if he has a lv5 long-range shot, he is unable to play.
"So, multi-line development is a must."
Maher made a decision and then made a detailed plan... He first planned to practice all the basic abilities to lv3, and then select one or two of them for special upgrades to lv4 or lv5.
On the basis of ensuring basic abilities, developing characteristics is the most correct way to grow.
And the basic abilities, technical aspects are nothing more than four types, passing, stopping, dribbling, and shooting!
Physically, there are basically four types of abilities: strength, speed, stamina, and coordination!
Don't think that abilities like stopping the ball or coordination are unimportant. On the contrary, the more basic they are, the more they are the foundation for whether you can play well in a game.
If the foundation is not well developed, you can't stop the ball, and you feel stiff as if you are about to fall when you do a movement, then everything is in vain.
"Practice an inside cut ability when dribbling the ball, and another cross ability when passing the ball."
Maher found out the two abilities he needed most at the moment, and then thought about the physical aspects: "For the physical body, you can temporarily practice strength, and when the strength reaches level 3, then add coordination."
After thinking about all this, the stretching was basically over. He got up and drank a few sips of water, and then walked towards the dormitory.
As soon as he arrived at the dormitory, Maher saw a text message on his mobile phone.
The note showed that it was Mr. Hans' number—"Come to the office."
In order to make himself look more formal, Maher suppressed the excitement in his heart, took a shower, and changed his clothes before leaving.
......
At the entrance of the Colney training base, several scouts walked out.
Jolson from Sheffield United made a phone call almost instantly. The new season is about to start. Big clubs don't need to rush to strengthen, but small teams don't have time to relax.
They have to seize every opportunity as much as possible, even if this opportunity may not be a good opportunity.
What Jolson wants to do is to recommend Gilbert to the club while strongly recommending the No. 31.
Even if it is a bit risky and a bit hasty.
But he has to do it.
The resource allocation mechanism of this world has determined that teams like them need to take greater risks when choosing players. If there is a well-known outstanding young player, the clubs that want him must not only be Sheffield United, Leeds, and Burnley.
At that time, their competitors must have changed to Dortmund, Benfica, Ajax and other similar levels.
The call was quickly connected, and a voice came from the other end: "Any result? The transfer window will be closed soon. Once you make a decision, we will contact Arsenal immediately. This is our last chance to strengthen the team."
Jolson didn't have time to interrupt, and the voice on the other end kept talking: "The other scouts have returned one after another, and the people they brought are not satisfactory. The Gilbert you are staring at is our last hope."
But he didn't feel like blaming them, because he knew how anxious the club management was at this time.
Just as Burnley's scout said not long ago, many of their outstanding players chose to leave after failing to get promoted to the Premier League last season.
Most of the remaining ones are either too old to retire after their contracts are up.
Or those who were not able to play as the main force before and want to play in the Championship for a season to improve their personal value.
They undoubtedly lack the competitiveness and motivation to impact the Premier League.
If this continues, the team will not only not impact the Premier League, but also face the risk of relegation!
"Gilbert is fine. His ability is among the best in the same age group in the UK."
After waiting for a long time, Jolson finally got the chance to speak: "It's almost impossible to buy him. Wenger sat on the sidelines and watched his game today. I think he will definitely pay attention to this player."
"No need to buy! No need to buy!"
The voice on the other side was helpless and anxious: "In fact, I don't have any hope of buying Arsenal players. As long as I can rent them for a season and survive this season, I can find a way to do it later."
"I know, boss."
Jolson nodded, and then continued: "But in today's game, the best player is not Gilbert."
"...Who is that?"
"Arsenal's No. 31, someone we have never noticed."
"No attention Have you ever thought about it? Do you have a video tape? Send it to me. "
"You should be able to watch this game on Arsenal's official website, but I can't find the others."
The voice on the other end fell into silence, and after a long time, a voice took a deep breath, "How good is it?"
Jolson touched his chin, and the sharpness and violence of Maher's long-range shot emerged in his mind. "He and Gilbert have their own characteristics. I think they are players of the same level and have the same force."
The other side didn't speak for a long time, as if he was hesitating. It wasn't until more than ten seconds passed that he seemed to have finally made up his mind: "I believe in your vision. In fact, if I don't believe in you anymore, I have no one to rely on.
"I'll contact Arsenal, and you don't have to worry about the rest. Come back quickly... Oh no, you just wait there and come back with the players!
"If the players you recommend can really help the team, believe me, I will love you forever."
Jolson couldn't help laughing, and a chill rose from behind him, "Forget the last one, boss."
Putting down the phone, he looked at the door of the Kearney training base, and his expression slowly turned melancholy.
He didn't know whether the players he recommended to the team this time could help the team, nor whether the team could turn the tide this season.
No, what he should worry about first is whether the team's sports director can loan the two players from Arsenal.
