I brush achievements in football

Chapter 382

Kiya's guess was right.

Sitting at home and recharging their batteries, Liverpool taught Southampton a good lesson.

Although Southampton's players continued to rotate in the first two games, their physical fitness was not very good after all. Facing Liverpool, which was in the best condition, they played very well in the opponent's crazy running and pressing. Difficult to show.

Southampton's striker is still as strong as ever. In this game, Lukaku and Vardy scored goals one after another. However, their defense had problems in Liverpool's crazy attack. Sterling took the lead in opening the scoring for Liverpool. Lukaku volleyed from the front of the penalty area and scored an equalizer. Sturridge overtook again shortly after the start of the second half. Vardy cleverly grabbed a spot in the penalty area to equalize again. At the front of the penalty area, he passed Casemiro and Otamendi, who was filling in, and then shot and scored. Romero couldn't make a save.

Two to three, Southampton lost to Liverpool in the away game, and suffered a defeat in the first round of the league.

However, although Southampton fans regret this, they don’t think it’s a big deal. Southampton’s performance in the first round of the previous three Premier League seasons was not very good. They were promoted to the Premier League for the first time. Lost to Manchester City [-]-[-], they met Manchester City again in the second season, and finally drew [-]-[-]. They won last season, and they swept West Bromwich Albion in the first leg.

So the poor results in the first round are really nothing to Southampton.

In this round, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Tottenham also won. Only Manchester United is Southampton's difficult brother. They lost to Swansea [-]-[-] at home astonishingly. Got a bad head.

So the media only did one thing in the next week, and that was to criticize Van Gaal fiercely. The position of Manchester United coach itself is very attractive, and Van Gaal was ordered in a crisis, so he lost the first game. Yes, the media immediately began to criticize.

Southampton's defeat was covered up in this way.

While mourning for Van Gaal in his heart, Ji Ya began to train the players more strictly.

There are many newcomers, so of course there are still certain problems in cooperation, but these are all problems that can be solved through training.

The Southampton players also know that in this season, if they want to perform better than last season, they have to work hard.

Especially the newly joined players, they all know what their goals are.

While the Southampton players were sweating profusely, outside the Southampton youth training base, a tall black man stood outside the iron gate of the Southampton training base with his own simple luggage.

22-year-old Edouard Mendy knows that he is not a genius. His family conditions are not bad. Although he is from Senegal, his family came to France to settle early. He wanted to be a professional player since he was a child. He began to receive professional training at the age of seven.

However, unlike the talented Dembele, although he is tall and long, his talent is not particularly outstanding.

So it wasn't until he was 19 years old that he got a contract with the third-tier team Cherbourg, but even in this third-tier team, he couldn't play the main force.

This summer, his contract with Cherbourg expired. Mendy wanted to go to other leagues. His agent vowed that he would be able to do this, so Mendy rejected Cherbourg’s contract extension. Contract, waiting to go abroad to play football.

However, until August, the agent did not take him abroad, but instead sent a text message wishing him all the best in the future—Mendy was dumbfounded, which meant that he was unemployed and would have no job in the next year. The ball can be kicked.

Under such circumstances, Mendy made a bold decision. He decided to leave France and go to England to try his luck with last season's Champions League champion Southampton. He wanted Ji Ya to see himself, whether he has the ability to gain a foothold in the top league!

If not, then I'd better find an electronics factory to work for.

Ever since, in the days when the Southampton League started, Mendy came to Southampton.

He is a free agent, so it seems very convenient to join any team.

He knocked on the door of Southampton's training base.

In fact, many players like him come to Southampton to recommend themselves every day, and Southampton will stay for trial training to see their true abilities, but they are usually young players. In fact, it is rare to see him at his age.

So Prost, the director of the youth training camp, received him.

"Generally we only accept young players for trial training... But since you are here, we can't let you go away empty-handed." Prost said to Mendy.

Mendy nodded gratefully. This trip to the UK was actually just an attempt for him. He is not a person who has no way out. After all, his family conditions are not bad, and the travel expenses for a trip to the UK are still affordable.

But if he can't stay in Southampton, he can only go back to France, work and try out everywhere or go to some small clubs for training, and then wait to find a next home.

There are actually quite a few players like him, and there are many in the UK. He received professional training when he was young, but he didn’t make it out. After he became an adult, he worked part-time while playing amateur games. Anyway, the social welfare in the UK is good, so it’s not impossible to support him. Own.

Lambert used to be a worker in a sugar beet factory, and Vardy is similar. After being dismissed by the Sheffield Wednesday Youth Academy at the age of 16, he also worked while training and playing football, and then won the top scorer of the three levels all the way. Last season, he also came off the bench to pass and shoot in the Champions League final, which can be called a miracle of grassroots counterattack.

It is precisely because of these two people as role models that Mendy felt that he had to come to Southampton to give it a try.

Prost helped him arrange accommodation, let him have a good rest day, and use his best state for trial training.

Of course Mendy knows that this is the best choice for him. After all, if he is given a trial training hastily, he might not perform very well.

After arranging Mendy's accommodation, Prost called Kiya and told him about it.

"Oh, then you can arrange a trial training, just let me know the result."

Now Ji Ya is also troubled by Pepsi, so of course he doesn't pay too much attention to such things as an amateur player coming to try out.

But when Prost called, he was just bored. After asking Mendy's name and age, Ji Ya started to look it up in the achievement point store...

Then he was startled.

His personal training program requires 92 achievement points.
