Chapter 7 Entering the working state
Gao Bo is a workaholic.
The lights in his office did not go out until four o'clock in the morning, and when John walked into the office at eight o'clock in the morning, Gao Bo had already finished his clothes and makeup and was about to call his assistant for a meeting.
"You should pay attention to rest, Gao!" John Aston learned from the stadium security that Gao Bo had spent the night in the team office building last night. He looked at his young boss with some concern.
Gao Bo didn't feel sleepy at all. He had a special ability since he was a child. When he focused on something, his sleep time only needed two or three hours.
High waves can easily enter deep sleep, allowing the tired brain to quickly regain energy.
Many football coaches have this ability. For example, Rijkaard, the famous head coach is also a famous workaholic. He only needs more than two hours of sleep a day to maintain his vigor.
In fact, it is not just a football coach, many celebrities who have made significant achievements often have this characteristic.
God is unfair, some people are destined to have different talents.
"Don't talk about this, John, these are some of the things I summarized last night, you can take a look first, and our coaching staff will have a meeting later!"
Gao Bo handed John a wad of paper full of words.
John Aston took it and flipped it quickly.
"This is your plan for next season!?" John looked up in surprise.
"Yes, we have a transfer budget of 200,000 yuan, which should be useful. I have modified the previous training plan, and I will follow the current training plan in the future!" Gao Bo puts himself on his desk. 'S calendar turned around.
"Today is May 26, two months before the start of the new season. The team will be assembled on June 20. Before that, we must first fix a few things."
Just then, physical coach Mel Donald rushed in.
"Gao, you are now a celebrity in Luton!!!"
Donald is holding a few newspapers.
Gao Bo brought the newspapers. They were all news about Luton's new head coach.
Gao Bo took over the head coach of Luton in a very low-key manner, and the club did not hold any press conference. However, for the local media in Luton, Luton hired a Chinese as the head coach, which still caused local problems. Little sensation.
Luton is now in a terrible situation, so naturally there is nothing good about the report.
Some newspapers simply said that Gao Bo became Luton's head coach through nepotism. Gao Bo only now knows that he and his boss David Morton are alumni, and David Morton also attended the University of London.
Gao Bo glanced through the media reports and lost interest.
Luton is not a big club. Except for the local media in Luton who are interested in reporting Luton news, the media in other places rarely go back to pay attention to a second division team.
So now Luton doesn't have to think about media pressure and other things.
"Donald, you came just right, let's have a meeting together!" Gao Bo put the newspaper matter behind and started to work.
Gao Bo looked at his two assistants, assistant coach and reserve coach John Aston, physical coach and team doctor Mel Donald, including himself, these are the only three members of the first team.
The top priority of course is to expand our coaching team!
In terms of training, I have myself and John Aston in charge, and Mel Donald is also experienced in the position of physical coach. Now my coaching staff still lacks a goalkeeper coach and a team doctor!
"I know someone about goalkeeper coaching. He used to work as a goalkeeper coach in Nottingham Forest." Gao Bo is an outsider in English football, and his connections are definitely not as good as John.
"Then let him come, John, I believe your recommendation." The goalkeeper coach is a relatively professional position, and it is difficult for Gao Bo to put forward too high demands on this position-after all, Luton is only a second-tier company. It's just the team.
The team doctor team made John and others a little embarrassed.
Don't talk about the teams in the second division. Even some teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League don't pay much attention to team doctors.
However, Gao Bo attaches great importance to the position of team doctor. He plans to set up a special medical department. Injuries are the most headache for a team, but in fact many players' injuries are buried by minor injuries. If these hidden dangers can be eliminated in the embryonic stage, it is a good thing for athletes to maintain their state for a long time.
But finding a team doctor who meets Gao Bo's requirements makes John and the others powerless.
Gao Bo thought for a while.
"I have someone to choose as a team doctor!"
Gao Bo remembered the Japanese team doctor Haruko of Chelsea, and wondered if there was a chance to dig him. Haruko has a master's degree in sports medicine from the University of London and is absolutely qualified for the position of Luton team doctor.
"The team doctor will let go first, and then sign up!" Gao Bo said.
John and Donald are all refreshed. Compared to the expansion of the coaching staff, these two veterans are more interested in what kind of players Gao Bo is preparing to introduce.
"Drinkwater?!" John Aston tried to look at the strange name.
"Yes, he is a member of Manchester United U18. If we want to introduce him, the price of 200,000 pounds is not known to Manchester United." Gao Bo recalled that in the FA Youth Cup final, he led Chelsea U18 and Manchester United. A match between U18.
The most eye-catching of Manchester United U18 is undoubtedly Welbeck, this young England striker was called by Ferguson as "part of Manchester United's new season plan" as early as last year. In addition, Manchester United U18 has a young man. The player is named Cleverly!
And Drinkwater is just a member of Manchester United U18 who looks very ordinary now, but in the future, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Drinkwater is the most eye-catching leader of this Manchester United U18 By.
Because in the 2015-2016 season, Drinkwater, as the main midfielder of Leicester City, created the magical story of the grassroots team with Leicester City, and they won the Premier League championship that season!
The Leicester City of Ranieri, that is really a magical team. For Gao Bo, this team is really a treasure... because as far as Gao Bo knows, many players on this team are still in the low-level league.
Gao Bo smiled suddenly.
If I dug up this treasure now, who would Ranieri use to create miracles?...
At this moment, Gao Bo's psychology is full of mischievous fun...
John knows that Gao Bo has the experience of coaching at Chelsea U18, so he is not surprised that Gao Bo will look at a certain U18 player.
"Drinkwater is not a star player in Manchester United U18, but I think Manchester United will not easily sell a young man." John said.
Gao Bo nodded, which he understood very well.
"Try to buy it first! If it doesn't work, try renting it."
For the English low-level league teams, the best way to save costs when renting players that are temporarily not available to the Premier League teams, of course, those first-team stars cannot be loaned to the second division, only Some 18 or 9-year-old young players will be loaned to the lower leagues to play.
The three discussed in the office for a morning. In addition to the introduction of players, there were also the team's training plan, tactical arrangements for the new season, and so on.
Gao Bo needs to communicate clearly his tactical thoughts with his assistants. After all, he can't do all the work by himself.
