Football: The Journey of a Coach

18. Confession And New Season

At the end of the game, the team captain Crsytal Palace. Sean Derry specifically gave a thumbs up to Kante, then he ran to Warnock to mumble.

Daniel was just watching, not coming to where they were discussing. In the field, A

There were some temporary teammates around Kante who praised him. Daniel feels that Derry must have gone to talk about Kante.

Sure enough, Sean Derry specifically stopped him when he was about to return to the dressing room.

"Daniel, where did you find such a small man?. He's very nice!. I like it so much!". Derry.

“Of course, since he's here for trial training, it must be easy to buy this little guy, right?!”. Sean Derry laughed, then patted Daniel on the back.

Derry went to the players' dressing room, Daniel from the beginning of the conversation just smiled. Daniel continued to stay, chatting with Simpson, and the others to learn more about the team situation, Warnock and Jones also came from afar.

"Okay, Daniel!. Looks like the boss likes N'golo Kante. The boss has already said that he intends to let the club transfer Kanter immediately." Jones said with a smile.

"Boss, thank you so much for your trust".

" The club staff will find him an English teacher, communication is very important in football. Kante should be able to speak English as soon as possible, tell him that." Warnock gave him orders.

" Ready, boss". Daniel said with respect to the army.

Too many people drink in England, and the players are no exception. In the early years, I had heard that some players even went into training drunk. Drinking alcohol has become a habit of life in the UK.

In the evening, Vardy and Kante from the trial training join the party, Derry tells them, of course they should appreciate such an opportunity, the bar is a place to drink, the, to help familiarize yourself to other players, which helps strengthen the relationship.

Daniel Ward is no longer participating in Kante's transfer dealings, it is the club that runs the issue. Of course he told the Palace negotiating staff about the agreement between him and JS Suresnes. The club just has to continue.

Crystal Palace signed a two-year contract with Kante, with a weekly salary of just 500 pounds, lower than Vardy's income. Daniel disagreed, but there was nothing he could do. Kante doesn't even have an agent, and Crsytal Palace hasn't had much money lately.

Daniel and Kante were forced to accept this contract. To be exact, Daniel had no choice but to accept this contract. As for Kante, he is still happy because he can earn a steady income now, even though it is fairly small for players who play in the Championship.

Daniel Ward's job is on the right track once Kante is done. Kante was a bit embarrassed when he said that, he actually proposed to rent a room in Daniel's house as his residence.

Daniel will turn it down, three days may not be a problem, but all season he needs privacy, not yet when Elizabeth or another woman he brings home. Wouldn't be awkward when there's a Kante.

But after thinking about it again, he also knew that Kante might not really want to live with him, in the end, it was still a matter of money, Kante still had a large family that depended on him to support him. And renting a house or apartment with a salary now, will not be enough.

So, the two are still living together, Daniel tells Kante that he needs to learn English as soon as possible. The club has provided him, so he just needs to learn hard and master as soon as possible.

Team training gradually got the right track, and Vardy and Kante's performance in training also improved. During this time, Daniel has put in a lot of effort, not only giving Vardy energy, but also guiding Vardy's training like a personal trainer .

The advantage of Daniel is that he learns from others. He doesn't have his own fixed routine, but he can use various methods that he knows fit his situation. This was true when he coached Croydon, and also applies to Vardy and Kanter's training.

Vardy is still struggling to impress himself in front of Warnock, and Kante is increasingly favored by Warnock. The players don't know, but Daniel is very clear. As one of the assistant coaches, he heard a lot of gossip from other co-coaches. It is said that Kante's performance exceeded expectations from Neil Warnock himself.

On 9 August 2009, after a grueling summer, the league division English Championship 2009-10 finally began.

The media is alive too. Compared to Premier League influence, English Championship teams are naturally much worse off, but they have no shortage of local fans. Croydon, where Crystal Palace are, is full of fans following Crystal Palace, of course, Daniel is not the focus of their attention.

Daniel's joining of the coaching team is just an understatement by the local media. Everyone is most worried about whether the team has improved the line-up and whether the new season can manage to stay.

In the transfer market this season, Crystal Palace almost disappointed the fans. They don't buy a lot of players to strengthen the performance of the team in the new season. Instead, they continue to sell people. Fonte eventually moved on and went to Southampton. The Portuguese defender was sold for 3.5 million pounds.

Jose Fonte initially came to the attention of many famous clubs, even Arsenal had made an offer against him. At that time, Simon Jordan rejected the offer of the other party because Arsenal only offered 1 million pounds. This price obviously could not impress Simon Jordan.

Crystal Palace in the transfer market, only bought four young players. Among them is Morgan Schneiderlin from Southampton, get free without a penny. Southampton coach Alan Pardew has signed Jose Fonte.

Ryan Shawcross is a 22-year-old centre-back from Stoke City for 1.3 million pounds. He was replaced by Jose Fonte to Southampton.

Jamie Vardy and N'golo Kante, two middle-of-the-north players who were signed to Crsytal Palace.

Vardy and Kante have not been widely reported by the media as new helpers, and many fans are still confused as to who these two people are. The team came without a sound, and I don't know where it came from.

To be honest Daniel was very surprised to learn that the player who was brought to Palace was his recommendation player. He did not expect that Neil Warnock would bring in two players. Although one Adam Lallana failed to arrive because Southampton asked for a high price of 10 million pounds for this player.

"The new season will be very difficult for Crystal Palace!. From the first game they had to work hard for relegation!. "Experts predict the prospects of the team in the new season.

Of course Warnock is not stupid, he knows the level of his team. To be honest, if Simon Jordan was still the chairman, he might have been gone a long time ago. Simon Jordan has made him miserable. Because he heard rumors that Crsytal Palace would change owners, and he has confirmed the authenticity of his news through decades of connections in English football. Warnock decided to hang on waiting for the new owner.

 So Warnock is basically putting the team's defence first, Lawrence was a major force last season and played over 30 games, but his age is such that the defence in the new season is really worrying.

 During this period of time, Daniel Ward has submitted many tactics to Warnock from his future memories. Like Borussia Dortmund tactics under Jurgen Klopp, or Pep Guardiola's tiki taka attacking tactics.

There have been many attempts from Daniel himself to devise tactics, only Neil Warnock himself wants Crsytal Palace to play like what.
