Chapter 608

The players had been gathering in Lin Chen's room, chatting happily until the coaching team led by Hierro called everyone out of the room.

The Spanish coaching team has also been officially reorganized. Only Hierro, Xavi and Zabia are left as the original members, and the fourth new coach will be announced at this meeting.

Also a football legend, Rijkaard!

When Rijkaard appeared, the Spanish players were a little surprised. After all, he was the only one who was not Spanish in this coaching team.

But Hierro spent a lot of effort to recruit Rijkaard. He hopes that Rijkaard can help the Spanish midfielder and defenders improve their tacit understanding.

The meeting officially began, and Lin Chen and others sat in the first row as team leaders.

Rijkaard first introduced himself, saying he hoped to integrate into the team as soon as possible.

"Hello everyone, I am very happy to receive the invitation from the Spanish Football Association and officially join the coaching team."

"In the future, I will serve as a midfield and defense coach, and work hard to improve the coordination and tacit understanding of the midfield and backcourt players. I hope we can work well together in the future!"

Rijkaard spoke briefly and to the point, and Lin Chen led the applause. He was very happy to see the team's coaching team being further strengthened.

Next, Hierro began to announce the minimum goal for the players in the new European Cup. Originally, Hierro wanted to set the minimum goal at the quarterfinals, but because the fans' expectations for the previous World Cup champion were too high, Hierro raised the goal to the semi-finals.

"I don't want to put pressure on any of you, but I hope you know that our mission in the new European Cup is to reach the semi-finals, or at least become the semi-finals!"

"To achieve this goal, I need you to have a more pragmatic training attitude in the club. You still have more than a year to grow."

"I can't guarantee that all of you will be selected for the next European Cup. Survival of the fittest, that's how it always is in the football world."

"So, you have to be prepared. If you want to play in the European Cup and win the European Cup, let me see your growth!"

"Now, please allow the members of the new captain team to speak! Through the speeches of the four captains, you will understand what you need to do in the next year or so."

"Two of the four captains have won the World Cup, and one of them was the best player of the last World Cup!"

Ramos and four others came on stage. The first captain Ramos spoke first, and his speech was also very simple.

"Winning the European Cup is not easier than winning the World Cup. There are many strong football teams in Europe, so you must grow as quickly as possible. The best way is to work hard to get more playing time in the club."

"For top-level competitions like this we need elite members, not players who just hang out with the team."

"All members of the first team, whether you start or sit on the bench, you have to make sure that you are good enough to be called an elite player!"

"Only in this way will you be eligible to join the team in the European Cup!"

After Ramos finished speaking, it was Lin Chen's turn.

The young players are all looking forward to what advice Lin Chen will give them.

"I am actually younger than most of the players here, but what I want to tell you is that playing in a big national team competition is completely different from playing in a club competition."

"I'm not talking about the difficulty, but your view of yourself."

"When you stand on the stage of the World Cup or the European Cup, how much confidence can you have in yourself?"

"Do you firmly believe that you can stop all opponents?"

"If you are a defender, one mistake could ruin the team's four years of hard work."

"I didn't say one year, I said four years!"

"We all know that the European Cup and the World Cup are played every four years, so your pressure will definitely be greater!"
