At the start, Mane and Salah flew on both wings

Last but not least was Maguire, still sitting on a chair in the dressing room.

"What's wrong? Go back and practice more."Vardy patted Maguire on the shoulder and asked.

"Am I not suitable for full-back? The chairman told me that my rank is behind Van Dijk. I admit that he is better than me in training, so I took the initiative to listen to the chairman and practice the right-back position."Maguire's eyes seemed a little wet,"Am I a burden?"

"What to say! Vardy was a little excited,"Do you think about the fact that the chairman has specifically targeted him in terms of position before?" Niemann didn't even play. Didn't you listen to the chairman? That Ekoto will soon go to the five major leagues. Even if we are promoted this season, he will log into the five major leagues faster than us. You can barely defend him. This goal conceded is also related to Van Dijk's mistake."

After that, Vardy looked around and whispered into Maguire's ear,"The new Dutchman just arrived, his mistakes were much more serious than yours. His marking mistake directly led to Marty's one-on-one attack. Even if he usually performs well, if he makes another mistake, your starting lineup will not be back."

"What's more, it's not like you started with Van Dijk, and Stones came on the bench. Your defense is impregnable against high-altitude balls. Didn't the chairman say that everyone's playing time will be guaranteed? At that time, Verratti was deprived of his starting position. He played the entire game instead of the opening game."

Seemingly feeling that his previous words were inappropriate, Vardy comforted Maguire a few more times.

"Don't forget that the captain's armband is still on you."

After hearing this, Maguire raised his head and Vardy smiled,"Let's go and practice together."

"Why did you come out so slowly?"Zhou Xu was a little surprised that Maguire and Vardy came out last.

Vardy knew that he could not change his problems as an amateur player and was prone to procrastination. Maguire was always on time.

"It's okay, I was too slow to clean it up." Maguire explained.

Zhou Xu didn't think there was a problem, so he didn't care.

The next day, Zhou Xu saw the headline of the newspaper

《The English League One hegemons showed their inability to adapt. Perhaps this was the biggest shock wave? 》

Sure enough, when it comes to the British Championship, the attention has reached the point where there are more headlines. The article actually analyzed that Notts County performed well but lacked a bit of luck. The title was to attract attention.

Zhou Xu smiled and didn't care.

The first round of the English Championship ends on the 12th, and three days later Notts County will play against its old rival Peterborough United in the League Cup in the first round.

In this game, Zhou Xu rotated all the players, including Karius, the goalkeeper. Just when Zhou Xu was arranging the starting lineup for the game on the 15th, an explosive piece of bad news came.

During training, Van Dijk suffered a hip injury due to a collision. This was an extremely serious injury.

In the hospital, Zhou Xu asked experts and learned that Van Dyke would be absent for at least 5 months, which is half the season. The injury may even be incurable, leading to repeated recurrences.

In the match against Peterborough United on the 15th, Zhou Xu asked Williams to coach, and he flew to Portugal and wanted to rent a central defender from the second team of Sporting CP.

In the match against Peterborough United, Mahrez scored twice, and Wang Chu and Fernando contributed. Notts County, which was full of substitutes, beat Peterborough United 5-0. Mane came on as a substitute in the 89th minute of the game. Minute's goal was very exciting. He scored a world wave 25 meters away from the goal.

On the other side, Zhou Xu's transfer was also completed quickly. After ensuring a certain amount of playing time in the English Championship, Zhou Xu also successfully loaned out the central defender.

Eric Dier is affectionately known as Dier by Tottenham fans. Now it is difficult for him to have a chance to play in the first team in Sporting CP. In reality, he was signed by Commander Tuchel as Kane's companion. Zhou Xu's loan contract didn't even have a fee, but Sporting CP added a buyout clause of 500,000 euros to rent out this unnoticed future England international.

Although Dell will gradually become the main central defender of the Premier League giant Tottenham in the future, Zhou Xu, who has sufficient reserves of defenders, is still not ready to sign him. After all, Ruben Dias will also join the team next year, and the number of central defenders in the team will be very high at that time. too much.

Maguire found Zhou Xu, who was very ashamed. His fight with Van Dyke caused the opponent to be injured. Van Dyke fell from the air and hit the ground hard on his butt. He didn't mean it, and Zhou Xu also believed in Maguire.

Zhou Xu knew Maguire in his previous life, and he didn't think Maguire was a player who would intentionally hurt others, especially if he was a teammate, so the situation would be serious.

During the group confrontation in the training match, Maguire and Van Dijk fought for the top, resulting in Van Dijk's injury.

It's really raining all night. Now, Notts County's injured list already has two central defenders seriously injured. Van Dyke even suffered a huge, huge, super super injury that was directly reimbursed for half the season.

Although Zhou Xu actually suspected that Maguire did it on purpose, he, the physical therapist and the coaching staff carefully watched the replays of the training match and confirmed that Maguire did not make any malicious moves in this fight for the top. And later, after asking Van Dijk and learning that this was an injury that had occurred in Groningen before, Zhou Xu dispelled his doubts about Maguire.

Injuries are inevitable for players, and youth also means they are more susceptible to injuries. Therefore, Zhou Xu is very cautious about the use of players and often rotates players to protect the players. As far as he knows, Barcelona is a classic negative example. There have been many young talents in the La Masia youth academy.

Ansu Fati, young genius. He is a natural scorer. He was selected into the IFFHS 2022 Football Young Players Best Team and won the 2022 Golden Ball Award.���The Spanish national team ranked 11th with 13 points in the jackpot. It is the champion of the European Nations League, the La Liga champion, the Spanish Super Cup champion, and the Spanish King's Cup champion. On September 3, 2020, when he made his debut for the Spanish national team, he was less than 18 years old.

In Barcelona's 2-1 victory over Inter Milan, Fati, 17 years and 40 days old, scored his first Champions League goal and became the youngest player in the history of the Champions League. Then, injuries came to him. In November 20, Barcelona officially announced that Fati had a torn medial meniscus in his left knee. In May, Fati underwent the fourth operation and removed part of the meniscus in his left knee. In

January 2022, Fati suffered a proximal tendon injury to the biceps femoris in his left thigh in the King's Cup quarter-finals, and was out for several months. This was his fourth injury of the season. Even after he was loaned to Brighton, Fati was injured in Brighton's 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest, and has been absent from the game since then.

On the other hand, the 21-year-old veteran Pedri once played 73 games a year and suffered 6 serious injuries in just 3 years.

Golden boy Gavi, tore his cruciate ligament and was out for the season.

A little further away, Michael Owen, the young man chasing the wind, became famous with one goal at the age of 18 and won the Ballon d'Or at the age of 21. He also suffered a serious injury and began to go downhill after recovering from the injury.

Inter Milan's prince Santon was once hailed as"a left back with the hope of winning the Ballon d'Or", but after playing 40 games for Inter Milan and Italy in a season at the age of 17, he suffered a serious meniscus injury. In his subsequent career, he never played more than 30 games in a single season and retired at the age of 30.

This is a permanent warning to Zhou Xu that young players must be used reasonably.
