Chapter 538: Salary Increases and Job Handovers

The earth is complex, the world is complex, society is complex, and people's hearts are even more complex.

The media is not as simple as it seems.

The work of the media is to publish the news they have interviewed on their own platforms, but for the sake of performance and sales, they will use various methods, one of the simplest and least risk-free is to exaggerate the content of the report.

There is a good saying that lies should be 'nine points true, one point false', which is very applicable to the media, they did interviews, got the news, and then in the process of sorting out, they exaggerated the content, and no one could say anything, because the thing really happened, even if it went to the court, they did not report false news, at most it was only 'negligent' in the wording, but the text content was never 100% accurate.

In addition, they also perform various analyses.

'Analysis', the flexibility is higher, because it is a personal analysis, the analyst will sign under the report, it is completely a report from a personal emotional perspective, which is equivalent to wandering on the boundary of law and law, even if the content is false, it is only a personal problem, and the media platform can easily get out.

That's flexibility in the media industry.

Maxi Rodriguez was interviewed about 'not being familiar with Zhang Yang' and 'not knowing', and he praised Frederick because he had more contact with Frederick.

Originally, it was nothing, but when it came to the mouth of the media, it immediately became, "Zhang Yang is not close to Maxi." ”

"Frederick is a great coach and he impresses the players more than he can showmanship."

The subsequent analysis was even more 'in-depth', and the media said, "Millwall's preparation training does not seem to have anything to do with head coach Zhang Yang, it is completely the work of assistant coaches, and the new player Maxi, who insists on training hard every day, has not been publicized a few times." ”

'Millwall have been excellent in preparation and assistant coach Frederick has played a huge role.

This was only the original report of the Spanish newspaper As.

After that, other media reprinted the report, and began to conduct various analyses, and the discourse and tone became more 'in-depth'--

"Millwall won the treble, and the head coach Zhang Yang was a little too proud, and he may feel that he can lead the team to play well without serious preparation."

"Frederick is a very good coach and Millwall has a lot of credit for playing well!"

"Millwall's training has nothing to do with the head coach, it's all the assistant coach leading the team!"

"It's understandable, too. Zhang Yang is not an orthodox coach, he may not lead the team to train at all, and it is a very wise decision to hand over the training to the assistant coach. ”

"We can see that Zhang Yang doesn't care about the new players, Maxey is like that, and the other players are the same, they haven't seen Zhang Yang a few times since they came to Millwall."

"Zhang Yang is a bit incompetent, he should be more involved in training."

When the news reached the UK, the British media immediately caught the hot spot, and the "Manchester Sport" immediately followed suit and said, "Last season, Millwall won the treble, and the eyes of the world were focused on the outstanding players, on their head coach Zhang Yang, maybe everyone's focus is wrong, Millwall's assistant coach, Mr. Frederick, also has a lot of credit, even not less than flamboyance, at least Maxey's impression is like this." ”

'Frederick is very competent, he's been working for Millwall and he's got a lot of affection from the players, and he's been a huge contributor to Millwall's success.

"First Wise, then Frederick, the reason for Zhang Yang's success, these two great coaches, who helped him lead the team to success, but they were both a little obscure, which is not fair."

"Wise is gone, to Leicester City. Zhang Yang lacked a huge boost, so he found Pierce, but it is doubtful that Pierce can replace Wise, and there is no doubt that with Frederick's support, Millwall's preparation should not be a problem. ”

'With Frederick as the manager, Millwall can also play well.'

“……”

Maxi Rodriguez certainly couldn't have imagined that a few simple words in an interview would have such a big effect.

In fact, this is not surprising.

After winning the treble last season, Millwall has become the focus of Europe and the world, and the new season has not yet begun, and there are already many foreign media staring at Millwall.

When a team is in the limelight, the slightest action can be over-interpreted, and as the head coach of the team, Zhang Yang's age is prominent in world football, and it will become the focus of attention.

Many people have doubts about Zhang Yang's success, and they have found various reasons, but Millwall's results are there, and anyone must admit the success of Zhang Yang's team.

But how did it work?

Most of them can't be said.

Until now, they are still looking for the reason, and when part of the reason is found, they will naturally make various reports, and the assistant coach Frederick who Maxi said is 'very good' has been fully excavated, and some media have noticed that Frederick and Zhang Yang have competed for the head coach, and even if the competition fails, he still stays in the team.

This is considered 'love for Millwall'.

'Frederick is a pure Millwall man and he doesn't leave the team just because he didn't become a manager.

A 'veteran' footballer commented.

This is actually no different from gibberish, what is the actual situation, there are many people in Millwall who know that Frederick is a good coach, but he also received a very good treatment, as early as Millwall when he was in the Championship, Frederick's annual salary reached 180,000 pounds, and now his annual salary is more than 300,000 pounds, plus various championship bonuses, he got more than 500,000 pounds last season, such a high salary is compared to many managers, he has no reason to leave the team at all.

There is also the media's constant analysis of Frederick's role, and they believe that Frederick is in charge of Millwall's training and is the biggest contributor to Millwall's success.

Zhang Yang just led the team to play.

The credit of Zhang Yang will certainly not be small, but whether it is better than Frederick, who 'led the team to prepare', 'kept the whole team in good competitive condition', and 'convinced every player', is really not easy to say.

The media coverage was vigorous, and in just one night, many people knew Frederick and associated his name with Millwall, believing him to be the man behind Millwall.

When Frederick woke up in the morning, he felt that the world had changed, he turned on the TV and saw that the sports program was commenting on himself, and a picture of himself appeared on the TV, and a host said in a heartfelt voice, "This is Millwall's coach Frederick, he has worked in Millwall for many years, has a wealth of experience and experience, last season, Millwall can win the treble, there is a lot of credit to Frederick, if it is in terms of contribution to the team, he may be tied with Zhang Yang, Maybe we all underestimated his ......"

Watching the program on the TV, Frederick's first reaction was a little confused, and then he felt that the host said it too well, and the description of him was extremely correct.

This morning, Frederick was in a good mood.

Frederick is over forty years old, he has been married for fifteen years, and now his children are ten years old.

Naturally, the number of shakers will also be greatly reduced.

Frederick's level in a certain aspect is actually somewhat unsatisfactory, but fortunately, his wife Mattro is not very demanding, and once in a while is enough, Mattelo's heart is mostly on the children, and he thinks that it is enough for her husband to make more money.

Of course, that's verbal.

When a woman is not adequate, she becomes very grumpy, which is scientifically proven, and Mattlo is no exception, she does not have requirements in what is needed, but the family is absolutely dominant, inside and out, and Frederick will get a roar if he makes a small mistake.

Perhaps this also caused Humpty Dumpty to be even less interested.

But Frederick suddenly became interested, and he seemed to have found a second spring again. The small mouth of the hostess on the TV opened up, as if it had been constantly touched below, and then he decisively walked into the bedroom and had a PK battle with Mattlo.

In the end, the PK battle ended with Humpty Dumpty raising his hand and surrendering, and Mattlo, who had not been able to get it for a long time, still expressed his satisfaction and encouraged Frederick to work hard next time.

Frederick went to the club with a fluttering mentality.

On the road, Frederick bought a stack of newspapers, and after a casual glance, he found his news, and he immediately looked at it carefully, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, he was shocked when he saw it, and he reported a lot of his news, and many said that his ability was not worse than that of publicity.

Frederick suddenly became even more proud.

When Frederick arrives at the first-team training ground, the training requirements become even more strict, because by doing so, he can get praise from the media and be respected by a player like Maxi Rodricks, which is a double win!

Frederick was not only proud, his heart was a little flying.

After the morning training, Frederick was on his way to the restaurant and met Ebenezer, who was in charge of commercial affairs, and he chatted with Ebenezer for a few words and immediately said, "Is the club considering giving me a raise?" Look outside, there's a lot of people talking about me! I think I deserve a higher salary, and I believe that other clubs will also offer higher salaries and wait for me to help them train......"

Ebenezer was a little confused when he heard this, and he didn't understand what Frederick was thinking, so he could only refuse, "You know, I'm not in charge of these things, you should go to Wilkinson, he will probably be willing to give you a raise." ”

Ebenezer is indeed not in charge of this matter, but he has already reminded Frederick that "it is better not to consider a raise." ”

Frederick didn't hear it, and felt that Ebenezer was supporting him.

After lunch, Frederick went to Wilkinson and asked for a raise, but Wilkinson said he would think about it and sent Humpty Dumpty away.

————

In the afternoon, Frederick was feeling a little bad.

A lot of the players seemed to be talking about something, training was getting less serious, what he was saying didn't work very well, some of the players were training in front of him, turning their heads and talking to other people, and looking at him with constant eyes.

What's the situation?

Frederick couldn't help but think of the media report, and suddenly felt a little proud, thinking that probably the players also knew the report, and they would respect themselves more, right?

Perhaps, Maxi would.

But Maxi himself is in trouble, he is regretting what he said, although he is not very proficient in English, but a translator is enough for him to understand the situation.

The British media misinterpreted his words as 'supporting Frederick', 'thinking that Frederick is more important than Zhang Yang', Zhang Yang has absolute authority in the team, has the highest support, most of the players support Zhang Yang, perhaps, as long as they are old players in the team, they all support Zhang Yang, Frederick does not have too high prestige.

When there was a lot of media coverage, the veteran players were a little resistant to him.

Maxi has to admit that he is a bit isolated, because the new players also want to integrate into the team, and they are not familiar with him at all and will not give him any support.

How so?

Maxi still respects Frederick, but it's just the respect he had before, the degree has not improved at all, and even dropped a little, he doesn't have time to think about Frederick at all, his mind is full of 'do you want to apologize to the manager', and how can you explain that you don't mean so much?

At the same time, Wilkinson also found a flamboyance.

Zhang Yang is in the coach's office, instilling the problem of new tactics in Pierce, Pierce is really an elm head, even more stupid than Wise, everyone else understands the tactics, only he needs to explain patiently.

Pierce is also very thoughtful, and he will ask some questions.

Zhang Yang can answer some of these questions, but some of them involve 'how to deduce tactics', he can't explain them at all, and in the face of Pierce's constant inquiries, he also feels a little big, and he can only explain in general terms, and then give Pierce a 'you don't understand, I can't help it' look, let him think about it himself.

Wilkinson knocked on the door.

Zhang Yang turned his head and greeted him warmly, "Mr. Vice Chairman, welcome!" Welcome! He walked over to him, which also made Wilkinson a little confused.

Wilkinson didn't quite understand the reason for Zhang Yang's enthusiasm, he pulled Zhang Yang aside, and still said the purpose, "I want to ask you, does the coaching staff still need Frederick?" I think he doesn't want to stay at the club anymore, his salary is not low, but he's still asking for a raise. ”

"Humpty Dumpty...... No, Frederick? Raise? Zhang Yang was a little puzzled, "Why did he ask for a raise?" ”

"Probably related to today's report." Wilkinson handed Zhang Yang a stack of newspapers in his hand, and pointed his finger to the page of the report, "Look here, it says that Frederick is the biggest contributor to our championship, maybe this made other clubs notice him and then send him an invitation?" I think so. ”

Zhang Yang nodded in understanding.

When a coach becomes famous, it is natural to be invited, but it is not clear which club invited Frederick to coach.

It's a bit of a headache.

Frederick is not a good person, but it is still good to be in charge of work training, and if he does leave, the coaching staff will have to replenish personnel, maybe Aldous can come up? Let Boehly go to work in the youth team?

No, it doesn't.

In terms of training with Aldous, he is not as good as Frederick, Boehly is too young, and Aldous is not necessarily willing to lead the team to train wholeheartedly, he is not a professional coach after all, and there are other ways to improve in the future.

Pierce had just arrived at the team and it was difficult to take on too much of a task.

Then you can only find a professional assistant coach, and then let a few people assist, and the club's veterans can do the assistance, such as Pire, who is about to retire, and it is not bad to hang an assistant coach position, Pire will probably be willing to try.

Zhang Yang wanted to let Frederick do the work handover as soon as possible, let Aldous replace him first, and he, together with Pierce and Boehly, was enough to complete the training work of leading the team, and then replace the work content when the new assistant coach was in place.

"Then I'll let Frederick take over the work tomorrow."

Zhang Yang decided to come down.
