reborn football boss

Chapter 26 Teaching Franck Ribery

It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose a game. The English League Two is long, 24 clubs have 46 rounds of matches each season, and the real winner is the one who has the last laugh.

But what makes people feel a little depressing is that Notts County lost, but the two rivals in the same city won.

Nottingham Forest defeated Sheffield United in the first round of the League One. They suppressed their opponents throughout the game, and they played at home with no power to fight back.

Well, after all, Nottingham Forest and Notts County are not in the same level of league, there is no direct competition, you can choose to ignore it.

But Mansterfield was different.

The Pozzo family brought in 14 Italian players in one breath, and the main lineup did not need to be adjusted at all. In the first round of the league, they easily defeated Northampton 2:0.

Comparing the two, the fans of Mansterfield began to laugh at the fans of Notts County. In their words, it is useless to spend too much money on a bully like Notts County. It is better than their wise and powerful Italian boss. The shrewdness, just renting some young players who can't play in Serie A has transformed Mansterfield from a relegation team in the League Two to a championship team.

The fans of Notts County have nothing to refute and can only comfort themselves. The lineup built by Notts County at a large price still needs to be adjusted. It was Notts County who had the last laugh.

Perhaps because of the self-consolation of the Notts County fans, two days after the first round of the league, the Football League issued new signing regulations, and the Notts County fans immediately had the confidence to mock the Mansterfield fans.

The new regulations stipulate that there can only be 5 loan players in the matchday squad, of which a maximum of 4 can come from the same club, and this regulation will be officially implemented next season.

In other words, Mansterfield's behavior is temporarily legal this season, but next season there will be no such good things happening. Players who exceed the quota must either transfer permanently or leave, it's that simple.

In fact, the Football League really wants to implement it this season, because there are too many complaints from other teams in the League Two, but because of the loopholes in their rules, it has become an established fact, and it is not easy to force Mansterfield to release the loan, so it can only be played. The official implementation of the season began again.

Notts County fans clapped their hands and celebrated after seeing the new rules. Even if Mansterfield succeeds in this season, without these loan players next season, Mansterfield will definitely return to his original virtue. After the annual tour, I have to come back in despair, let's eat ashes after Notts County's ass.

In the second round of the league, Notts County will go away to challenge Bristol City.

In the last round of the league, this team, which was ranked in the middle and upper reaches last season, showed a good state. They beat Swindon with 3 goals. The ball beat the newly promoted Brighton.

Before the game, no one was optimistic about Notts County, because the current state of the two teams is not comparable, it is simply a heaven and an underground.

The result of the game was also within everyone's expectations. Notts County lost again, 1:0.

Unlike the previous game, Notts County did not fall into a disadvantage in this game. The goal was conceded because Ribery was too sticky to the ball on the wing and counterattacked after being cut off by the opponent.

With two consecutive defeats at the start of the league, Notts County did not rank last in the standings only because of the goal difference, but only considering points, Notts County is no different from the following four teams.

The media doesn't care about the team's performance on the pitch, they only look at the results, anyway, if Notts County loses, they have something to say.

For a time, criticisms were raging, not only the coach Loew was criticized as useless by the media, but David, the chairman of the club, was also dubbed an unknown name.

However, it was the scar fighter Franck Ribery who received the most criticism.

Although Iniesta's cold recovered, but the body has not recovered to the best condition, so Loew still arranged Ribery into the starting lineup.

However, Ribery seems to have made no progress. He still plays his own football in his own way, and has not integrated into the team's yet fully formed tactical system. The team's conceded goals are also due to his mistakes. Therefore, he has become a lot of media and The sinner in the eyes of the fans.

It seems that it is time to solve this problem. David really doesn't understand that a player at the Golden Globe level in his previous life would have such a problem when he was young.

After the day's training, David called Ribery to the office alone, and the two sat opposite each other on the sofa.

Ribery seemed a little cramped, and he also knew that he had been widely criticized by the outside world in the past few days. Many fans blamed himself for the loss, which made him feel very unwilling.

David looked at the face that had hardly changed in fact, and laughed in his heart. Ribery's old face is really the same for decades, and he is very mature.

"Frank, maybe you should know why I'm here today!" David took two glasses of water, put them between them, and said with a smile.

Ribery was a little nervous, and he became even more nervous when he heard David speak, and a bad thought came to his mind.

Notts County is going to sell me, is it?

He was in the youth team of a low-level French league team before, and he didn't even have a formal contract. For a person like him who has barely gone to school, if he can't play well, it will be a problem to feed his stomach in this life.

After being bought by Notts County, he signed a formal professional contract. Although the team is still in League Two, at least he is also an official professional player, and his salary is not low at the same level. Things he couldn't even imagine.

If Notts County really sold him, I am afraid that few teams would be willing to accept him.

Could it be that my life is really going to be so useless?
Thinking of this, sweat broke out on Ribery's forehead.

David didn't know that Ribery was thinking so much, but seeing that he seemed more embarrassed, he quickly continued: "Maybe you were playing wild football before and had many bad habits, but since you have become a If you are a professional player, then you must demand yourself according to the standards of a professional player.

"I don't know why you are unwilling to pass the ball to other teammates. The result now is that in the two games you started, the team's left attack was basically paralyzed."

"Although your breakthrough is good, it is impossible for you to defeat your opponent with your own strength."

"The opponent knows you can't pass the ball, and it's easier to defend your drive. I think you should know that."

After listening to David's words, Ribery lowered his head. He also knew where his weaknesses were. When he played wild football before, he didn't think about cooperating with others.

"Actually, I have always had great expectations for you. I hope that you can become a king of wingers like Figo and Giggs in the future, but you have to know that there is no superstar who can't pass the ball. Performance must be based on the team as a whole.”

Franck Ribery nodded in agreement. This sense of recognition moved him very much. He has never had such trust and expectations since he was born.

"Mr. Chairman, I will work hard to integrate into the team as a whole, please rest assured!" Ribery promised excitedly.

David smiled and waved his hands, "I hope that what I do is not to spoil the growth, I will tell Ayou to focus on training your coordination ability in the future training, and you also have to build a good relationship with your teammates, which is very important. !"

The conversation went well, and Ribery didn't show a thorny style at all. After all, he is just an unknown person now, but David doesn't know whether he can change in the future. He believes that Ribery can say to do it.
