Chapter 184 Training Session
With the previous foreshadowing, everything that followed became logical.
After Kenny performed a few tricks on the pitch, he interacted with the Leeds United fans at the scene. That is, on this day, according to incomplete statistics, no less than [-] Kenny jerseys were sold in West Yorkshire. For Leeds United fans, the team's spending a lot of money to sign players reflects the team's ambitions. How can they not support it?
And Kenny performed extremely well last season, both in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League. Leeds United fans have already dug out Kenny's various extraordinary performances and goals last season. At the same time, I also look forward to Kenny's performance in the Premier League.
So Kenny's signing and meeting with the fans was very successful and there was no disclosure.
However, the most troublesome thing for him when he came to England was the weather here. It would be nice to say that there is no cloud in the sky. When he thinks that he will stay here for a long time for two or three years, he looks like he is about to die. .Back in the small villa that Mendes bought for himself in West Yorkshire, Kenny finally relaxed himself. Now that he earns millions of pounds this year, he can be considered a moderately accomplished rich man. After all, the money is in the ordinary It looks like a huge sum of money!
Just like that, Kenny fell asleep while lying on the bed and thinking about the training session a week later.
This season's Premier League will start its first game on August 8, so almost all the major clubs in the Premier League have not called their own players back to the team. At this time, Kenny is just adapting to the field environment in advance after joining.So under such circumstances, Kenny seems to have returned to the days in Leverkusen. He went to the Leeds United club training ground to train during the day, and devoted himself to the system at night to continuously strengthen the various skills he had learned.
But the difference is that whenever he went from his residence to the club's training ground, the Leeds United fans he met on the way smiled at him, and they didn't do anything aggressive except ask for autographs. , And it was this seemingly innocuous move that made Kenny really feel that the Leeds United people regarded themselves as family members, which also made him full of energy.
In this way, time passed unknowingly, and finally on August 8, a week later, Kenny welcomed his teammates at the Leeds United training ground.The average age of today's Leeds United is less than 6 years old, which can be said to be the youngest top team in Europe, and it is much more beneficial for young people to be with young people. In the training session, Kenny got to know him one by one. new teammates.
At this time, Leeds United had the main goalkeeper Neil Martin and the fast rising star Paul Robinson, both of whom were members of the England national team. The 100 million pound goalkeeper, since he joined Leeds United in the 1996 season, he has performed bravely in both domestic competitions and European wars. He is one of the favorite players of Leeds United fans. In the official Leeds United fans vote, Martin was voted As the greatest goalkeeper in the history of the team, he even defeated Gary Spraker and John Luchick who once brought Leeds United the title.
At the same time, Leeds United's No. [-] choice in the goalkeeper position is not an ordinary person. Paul Robinson, who debuted in Leeds United, is young and mature. He has made rapid progress under Martin's precepts and deeds. His brave performance helped Leeds United reach the semi-finals, and was considered one of England's most promising goalkeepers for a time.
These two were also the first Leeds United players to welcome Kenny's arrival, because under the arrangement of coach O'Reilly, the players who returned to the team started shooting training after a short recovery training.
As the most eye-catching new aid, Kenny was naturally under pressure, and when he was saved by Paul Robinson under the eyes of all the players, his embarrassing expression also made the players laugh for a while. The well-meaning Paul Robinson also stepped forward and hugged Kenny with a smile, and exchanged positions.Standing in front of the goal with gloves on, Kenny was also complaining in his heart. He didn't feel like shooting the goal on weekdays, but today it was his turn to keep the goal, only to realize that the goal is so big.
Without a sense of security, Kenny naturally failed to save Robinson's penalty. When Robinson made an exaggerated slide to celebrate, the atmosphere on the training ground reached a climax.With the adjustment of Robinson and others, this group of young people from Leeds United quickly became one.Obviously, the players did not regard Kenny as an opponent, because no one on the current Leeds United striker is competent for the left forward position.
The forward Michael Bridges, who joined Leeds United in 1999, can be said to be the top scorer in the Premier League. In his first season, he scored 19 goals in the league, including a hat-trick against Southampton. At the end of the season, he tied with Andy Cole, one of Manchester United's dark winds, for fourth place in the Premier League scorer list, and his 21 goals in all competitions made him the leading scorer in Leeds United.
In the 2000-01 season, Bridges' state declined, and he failed to score goals after the start of the league.On October 2000, 10, in the UEFA Champions League game against Besiktas, the poor field conditions in Istanbul caused Bridges to slip and fall. Announced season reimbursement after undergoing surgery.
This injury also cast a shadow over Bridges' career. Although Bridges publicly expressed his desire to stay with the team after the injury, it may be because misfortunes never come singly. On May 2001, 5, he played against the old He sprained his knee ligament again shortly after returning from a reserve team game at his club Sunderland, and this time he will miss the entire 11-2001 season.
So today's Leeds United striker is only left with Australian star Mark Viduka, England hope star Alan Smith and Robbie Keane, who became famous at a young age like Kenny.Among them, Mark Viduka is a typical center forward, while Robbie Keane is better at stirring up the situation on the right side, and Alan Smith, the only one who may overlap with Kenny, can be competent as a midfielder, winger, etc. Location.
Therefore, Kenny's arrival is indirectly a very good supplement to Leeds United's fragile midfield, because compared with Leeds United's striker and defense, its midfield does make it lose a lot of competitiveness.
