Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 20 Dave Jones' Troubles

This year's Wolverhampton team participated in the Premier League, which is great news for both the team and the fans. Being able to gain a foothold in the Premier League is Wolverhampton's top priority this season Target.

Dave Jones is the most important player in coaching the team's promotion, so everyone in the club trusts him very much.

As a newly promoted team, Wolverhampton recruited a group of experienced veterans at the beginning of the season under his insistence, such as: Irwin (Irish defender during Manchester United's 99 Triple Crown), Paul Ince (Former England international), Paul Jones (Wales national goal), Iverson (Norwegian striker who played for Tottenham) and others.

但是现在伍尔弗汉普顿队的成绩并不理想，直到今天（11月17日）仅仅取得2胜3平8负仅积9分的悲惨战绩，在英超联赛垫底。

Moreover, what makes Dave even more headache is the team's injury problem.Just after the first few rounds, various injury problems began to appear one after another. Six players including Paul Ince, Cradola, and Butler are still recuperating.

Due to the large number of veterans, some young players have no chance to play at all, so Gu Jonsson, Ingemarsen, Prudorik and others are clamoring for a transfer. Dave Jones, 48, had his mind blown.

He sometimes even wonders if he is only suitable to be a head coach in the English Champions League, at least there is not such a great pressure at that time, and of course he cannot get such a high salary...

In contrast, the Wolverhampton youth team has been triumphant all the way, and has won seven consecutive victories in the English Youth League.Although the Youth League is only equivalent to the level of the English First Division, Dave Jones, who led the Wolves to the Champions League, knows that this is definitely not a coincidence.

He has also watched some games of this year's youth team, Pete Cass and Halilson Clarke, these two young forwards are really good, and they can be transferred to the first team to make some supplements.

But what he values ​​most is the main right winger of the youth team - Alan Wang. Wolverhampton's midfielders are not strong. They need a striker who can be fast and good at long passes Increases the success rate of counterattacks.

And this black-haired kid named Alan Wang fits the requirements very well. According to statistics, in all seven games, this 16-year-old Eastern kid passed 53 long passes, and only made seven mistakes. The rate is quite high, which is also an important reason why Peter Cass and Halilson Clarke, two forwards who are not too outstanding, can firmly sit in the top two scorers in the English Youth League!

So Dave Jones wanted to come and see for himself. This young man who shined in the first game and was praised by the fans as the "Master of Dance at the Ball Stadium", his usual training situation, and by the way, the three of them Straight into the first team.

This can not only gain the favor of these young players in the youth team, increase their confidence, but also make the first team have a good supplement, it is really killing two birds with one stone.

……

On the training field, Old Wood was instructing Paul to take these players to do some daily training.

He is really old and can't run anymore, and his brain seems to be unable to keep up recently, so this "apprentice" coach Paul who is somewhat pleasing to him has become the person he orders.

In this regard, Paul is also very willing. He is only 31 years old. If he can take over from Old Wood after he retires, his future will be bright.He is very envious of Dave Jones. As the head coach of the Premier League team Silverhampton, he can be respected wherever he goes, and will he be able to sit in that position one day?

Paul is now working hard to learn some coaching experience every day to prepare for the future. He knows very well that success will never come to people who only dream.

"Beep..." Old Wood next to the court blew the assembly whistle.

The players on the field were very strange, and the physical training was just halfway through. Could it be that Old Wood showed mercy today and wanted to let them relax?
He turned his head and looked to the side of the court. Beside Old Wood was a middle-aged man. He was a bit thin, wearing an open suit, revealing the light blue lining inside, and his white hair was slightly loose. , and a pair of dark purple sunglasses hung around his neck.

This is Dave Jones, the head coach of the first team!What is he doing in the youth team?Everyone is looking forward to it...

After the players were assembled, Old Wood divided them into groups for an intra-team training match. This made the youth team members a little excited. They knew that if they performed well, they could be directly transferred to the first team. !
However, Pete Cass and Halilson Clarke also knew that watching the team training game was just a cover to appease other youth team players. CEO Jose Moxie had already talked with them After saying hello, the two of them and Alan will definitely be transferred to the first team this year. You must know that Dave Jones is only the number three in the Wolverhampton team, so there is no pressure on the two of them.

Old Wood and the two stood beside the court and chatted happily. As for the game on the court, Dave didn't have the time to watch this kind of low-level confrontation. The first team can only play as a substitute.

"Mr. Wood, why didn't you see Alan Wang? Didn't he come to the training today?" Dave asked suspiciously after finding that there was no target for him this time.

In fact, Old Wood is also very puzzled by this. Alan has never asked for leave since he came to Wolverhampton, and he performs very well in normal times, and he has never even been late once!And he can insist on completing all the training every time, which is definitely a model in the youth team.

But Thomas told him today that Alan has something to do and he wants to take a day off, which is really strange. What can this black-haired boy who spends his days in the club do?

But in order for Allen to give the young head coach a good impression before being transferred to the first team, he still smiled and said: "Mr. Dave, Allen has some urgent matters at home today, so he returned to London. After he comes back, I'll send him to the first team right away."

After hearing this, Dave didn't think about other aspects. The main reason was that Old Wood was old and mature. His expression was too deceptive. He hardly blushed and his heart didn't beat when he was lying, although his wrinkled face even I can't see it when it's red...

"Okay, then please inform Pete and Halerson to come to my office immediately after training."

"Well, I'll tell them the good news."

"Then I'll leave first. The team's performance is not very good recently, and I don't have much free time."

"Goodbye then."

After getting the information he wanted to know, Dave hurried back to the office. The incident was supposed to be over like this, but...
