"You mean that boy!" Steve Smith stared, feeling that Wen Sheng was interested in that black boy.

"Wen, look at how poorly that guy played..." Before he finished speaking, the black boy finally passed the ball to the center after dribbling and breaking through. Smith's son followed up and sent the ball steadily with his head.

The gate to Milton Keynes Youth Team.

"Well done! Well done!" Smith immediately stood up and clapped with both hands, "Beautiful! Son!"

After a short celebration, Smith sat down again and said to Wen Sheng: "Everyone calls him Will! I don't know what his name is! This idiot finally learned to pass the ball! This is how the ball should be kicked! Pass the ball, damn it

of!"

With one assist, the black boy's image in Smith's mind has probably changed a lot, but not much. Smith is still very picky.

"Wen, what do you think of my son?!" Smith looked proud and quickly "recommended" his son without waiting for Wen Sheng's reply.

"Well, the header is good! But the running position needs to be improved. He should enhance his response ability!" Wen Sheng told the truth. Smith's response ability and running awareness are relatively poor. The center position requires a strong back-up ability.

Excellent ball handling ability.

"Haha, I knew he was good! You are a professional, I will tell him your advice!" Smith probably remembered the first part of the sentence very clearly, but may have ignored the second part and seemed very happy.

Wen Sheng smiled and said nothing.

The Crystal Palace youth team eventually won the game 4:0.

Wen Sheng and Joey left without finishing.

"Where to go?! Back to Beckenham training base?!" the driver Joey asked Wen Sheng.

"No, let's go find Steve Higham. Joe, what do you think of that black boy?!" Steve Higham is the director of the Crystal Palace Youth Academy, but today at the game, Wen Sheng

He didn't see him, so he called Higham to make an appointment while at the stadium. Wen Sheng wanted to know about the black guy.

"I think it's very good. The dribbling is excellent and the speed is very fast! But he is too independent and has poor team awareness!" Although Joey was forced by his cousin to get on the sedan, he was also very serious and gradually developed a lot of skills.

I am very interested and am now preparing to obtain a coaching certificate.

Wen Sheng did not comment.

Higham waited for Wen Sheng in his office, and Wen Sheng had already made an appointment with him when he was watching the game at the stadium.

"Daniel, Daniel! Now you finally think of me?!" According to the principle of familiarity twice, Higham and Wen Sheng can be considered acquaintances, because the two have met more than twice.

"Sorry, Steve, I've been too busy lately! You also know that I just took over the team!" Wen Sheng shrugged and shook hands with Higham.

"This is Joey Collins, from my coaching staff! You've seen him before!"

"Hello Joey!"

"Hello Steve!"

After the greetings were completed, Higham smiled and said: "Daniel, you must be here to flirt with someone, right?!"

"I can't help it! Now we are short of people in every position!" Wen Sheng spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

Of course, Higham knew Wen Sheng's situation and couldn't help but lamented: "With the trusteeship, our destiny is no longer under our control! I can't imagine that one day all this will no longer exist!"

"No, Simon Jordan saved the team a few years ago, and now someone will come to save this team!" Wen Sheng is confident about this. In his memory, Crystal Palace has not been disbanded, but who will save it?

I really don’t remember Wen Sheng from Crystal Palace. He is not a walking dictionary in the football world. He knows everything. In the original world, he was only interested in the football coaching business and was very focused.

When it comes to team history, he doesn't know a lot.

Higham began to introduce the situation of the youth training camp to Wen Sheng. What he introduced was the U18 echelon that had a game today, because he understood that only Wen Sheng from this echelon could be selected, and the young players from other echelons were so young.

, it is impossible to get a first-line call-up.

What's more, U18 does not mean that all players have reached the age of 18. Among the young players in the youth training camp, some outstanding players can enter the 18-year-old echelon at the age of 16.

Higham recommended several young players and took out their information with photos.

Wen Sheng saw the black boy on the court today at a glance, "What's this little guy's name?!"

"Wilffried Zaha!" Higham looked at it and said: "Gary said this little guy is very good. I have also watched his games. He is a great dribbler and fast, but it is a pity that he has less team awareness.

It’s not that bad, and his small body doesn’t look strong enough. Of course, I still think that if he can get the right guidance, he shouldn’t be too bad! In fact, I think he should be able to look like Bustock!”

Gary is Gary Isolt, the U18 head coach.

Bustock is the talented youngster from Crystal Palace who was forcibly poached by Tottenham Hotspur the year before last. He is very famous. As for his strength, Wen Sheng has never seen it before so he doesn’t know what it is. However, there are so many clubs trying to snatch him away.

It will be bad.

"But if this kid continues to play alone and indulges in fancy moves!" Higham complained, "If he refuses to change despite repeated admonitions, he won't be able to achieve much!"

"Haha, that's him! Let him report to the Beckenham training base tomorrow! I want to see if he can use it!" Wen Sheng smiled and pointed at the child in the photo.

Upon hearing Zaha's name, Wen Sheng was already determined to take the child away because he knew Zaha.

He didn't know whether Zaha was a product of the Crystal Palace youth academy. He didn't even know that Zaha had played for Manchester United later, but he knew that Zaha became very popular at Crystal Palace and was favored by many wealthy clubs.

On the way back, Wen Sheng was very happy and hummed a song proudly.

Joey is puzzled. Joey understands Wen Sheng’s tactical requirements. In fact, Wen Sheng attaches great importance to tactical discipline. He doesn’t like players who do not have strong tactical discipline, so Joey thinks there is a possibility that Wen Sheng likes Zaha.

It's not very big.

The important reason why Fried Sears is favored by Wen Sheng is that he not only has certain abilities but also pays attention to the team. He will pass the ball when it is time to pass the ball, and he will rarely go to a dead end alone.

"Daniel, I thought you would look down on this little guy!"

"How could it be?! Now the team needs a breakthrough player on the front line! His style of play is a bit unique, but he can be trained! Let's see, he will change!" Wen Sheng seemed quite confident.

…

The next day, Zaha was accompanied by his father to the Beckenham training base. When he came out of Higham's office yesterday, Zaha was crazy with joy. To this day, his mind is still immersed in extreme excitement.

Zaha's family is from Cote d'Ivoire, but Zaha grew up in Croydon. Like Moses, he entered the Crystal Palace Youth Academy at the age of 12. However, he is different from Moses and Busstock. The first two are known as

The talent who came out of Crystal Palace's youth training was sought after by wealthy clubs.

Zaha, who is almost the same age as them, does not receive such treatment. She has always lived in the shadow of the two of them. How is it possible not to be jealous.

"Finally, there is someone who knows the goods!" This is what Zaha thought. He always felt that he was stronger than those two people, so why did others look down on him?! It could only be that others were blind.

Zaha has always been so confident. He is not particularly popular in the youth team and has a unique style of play, but he just likes to surpass others and like fancy moves, and no one can do anything to him.

How could his father not understand his son? The old Zaha who has experienced the world knows better that no matter how good his son is, if no one gives him a chance, everything will be in vain. One day, his son will still be lost to everyone.

"Remember, you have to be humble and polite! You have to..." When the training base arrived, old Zaha would inevitably say a few words.

"I know, I know! Dad!" Zaha didn't want to hear it at all. He got out of the car with his bag and walked towards the gate of the training base.

The doorman called and Deli came to the door to pick up Zaha.

Dery felt somewhat friendly towards the players who came out of their own youth training. Zaha also greeted the captain in a polite manner. Deli was very happy to see that he was keeping a low profile and introduced the team's situation to Zaha while walking.

Zaha listened absent-mindedly, and then he realized something was wrong when he followed Derry. Derry took him to the dressing room.

As a student of the youth academy, Zaha has never been to the first team, and the geographical location is still very clear in his mind.
