Chapter 177: Important and Unimportant

There is still one final round of the league to be played.

Millwall only had one day off before returning to training.

The morning was not an ordinary time, and the team was preparing to warm up normally, when the chairman Grigory arrived, and Grigory walked over with a friendly smile on his face.

That might be called kindness.

The flamboyant description was, 'Look at this old guy, happy to squeeze out his eyes with wrinkles'.

Aldous burst out laughing.

Dennis Wise was a little closer to Grigory, but he couldn't help but clutch his stomach and almost lost his temper in front of the 'mocking object'.

Frederick looked at Grigori, as if he was pondering the words, and when Grigori began to speak and lamented Millwall's promotion, thanking all the players and all the staff, he didn't know what was going on and laughed.

He immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Grigory was interrupted and immediately felt very unhappy, and he greeted Frederick's female relatives in his heart, still with a kind smile on his face, "What's wrong?" Mr. Lawton? Do you have a problem with what I said? ”

"Nope! No! Of course not, Mr. Grigori. Frederick was a little alarmed, "I just ...... yes, I was just thinking about Zhang's words, sorry, I was a little distracted. ”

Zhang Yang looked left and right, shrugging his shoulders inexplicably.

Aldous chuckled again.

This time Denice-Wise couldn't hold back any longer, and squatted down half-covering his stomach, fortunately he was not the special one, many players laughed, and Fred immediately became very embarrassed.

Grigory was so angry that he could only stagger to continue, but skipped the thanksgiving, "...... Through the efforts of all of us, Millwall got a place in the promotion! Every one of you is a hero......"

Gregory then continued to bombard the official written report, blowing the credit of the players and staff to the sky, and constantly tracing the history of Millwall, emphasizing the importance of promotion for Millwall.

After nearly twenty minutes of nonsense, Gregory finally found that if he continued, he was afraid that someone would really fall asleep on the spot, so he coughed twice and quickly finished the rest of the part, and finally mentioned the key, he pointed to the leather bag on the grass, "This is the bonus prepared by the club for everyone, everyone will get a share, then the next person who reads the name will come and receive the bonus." ”

"Hula......"

Everyone was happy.

Ebenezer was Grigory's chief assistant, and he began to read the names in his notebook, one by one, and the players or staff members who read the names would come forward to receive the prize.

Gregory's emphasis on 'all' really covers the whole club.

The prize money went to everyone, even the chef in the club's restaurant, who got a thousand pounds, the first team players had a little more, and the most marginal players also got five thousand pounds, and Jody Morris was the one who got the most money, his prize money was 13,000 pounds.

Several coaches also have bonuses.

Zhang Yang received a team-high £20,000, while Wise, Aldous and Frederick each received £6,000.

Zhang Yang kicked the prize money into the pocket of his clothes, there were four small stacks of 20,000 pounds, and the pockets of his clothes were almost full, he didn't care too much, but complained to Wise, "It's a total of 300,000 pounds, and they really put a lot of effort into dividing the money." ”

Wise sighed, too, "yes. ”

The club's first-team players, coaches, team doctors, and other staff members, almost 50 people in total, each of them received a sum of money, more or less, to divide the money 'reasonable', people can't say anything, and just enough to make up 300,000 pounds, is really a complicated mathematical problem.

If it is placed in a rich club, the chairman will definitely wave his hand, "20,000 yuan per person, not enough for me!" ”

No one can say anything.

Millwall FC is used to living a poor life, and even the promotion bonus has to be carefully calculated.

Zhang Yang and Wise complained together.

Ebenezer is doing a good job, everyone who gets the bonus becomes very happy, and the extra money is like pie in the sky, especially some of the fringe players in the team, their salaries are not high, some players are still under 2,000 pounds a week, and the amount of bonus money is equivalent to a month's salary.

The morning training was finally able to start in earnest.

Zhang Yang hurriedly asked several assistant coaches to start arranging recovery training together. The club gave out a bonus, which was delayed for nearly an hour, and it was already ten o'clock when the training began.

Zhang Yang was very dissatisfied with this.

But during the whole process of handing out bonuses, Zhang Yang didn't say a word, he knew that there was no way to stop it: the chairman of the club used the opportunity to brush up on affinity, how could he, as the head coach, stop it?

"Just let this old guy be beautiful! He probably won't be able to do it for a few years! Zhang Yang thought depressedly.

When the team's training officially began, Zhang Yang sat on the sidelines and began to bask in the sun seriously.

The sun is shining and the breeze is floating.

London in May is a good time to go out and enjoy the fresh air, sit on the green grass, watch a group of strong men who are actively training, and feel the climate with the right temperature.

"The job as a manager suits me perfectly." Zhang Yang closed his eyes, felt the breeze blowing on his face, and felt that work was a pleasure, and on this training ground, he was a spectator.

Zhang Yang is actually thinking about Andy's work.

Andy is here.

He was already waiting in the manager's office while the team was handing out the bonuses, and the first job Ebenidzel did when he returned was to negotiate a new contract with Andy.

New Contract!

"How much will you get paid in the future?"

Zhang Yang looked forward to it.

A morning passed quickly.

At noon, Zhang Yang met Andy in the club's cafeteria, and the two talked about the progress of the new contract, and the two sides were engaged in a war of words over salary, bonuses, and riders.

"Don't worry, I will fight for the best interests!" Andy reassured, but he talked about something else, "I got a call in the morning, it was the last time the manager of the BBC section called, they invited you to be a guest in the Champions League final, I replied that I would consider it, what do you think?" ”

"The Champions League final? That should be ten days later, right? ”

"Yes, May 20th."

Zhang Yang thought about it for a second, and suddenly realized what the Champions League final was.

Liverpool and AC Milan?

Isn't this year's Champions League final the so-called 'Istanbul' miracle? Zhang Yang is too impressed by this final, or as long as he pays attention to European football, he will definitely know this classic battle.

The Champions League final was played in Istanbul, Turkey, between Italy's AC Milan and England's Liverpool.

Before the start of the game, almost everyone thought that AC Milan would win the Champions League, because AC Milan was much stronger than Liverpool, and at this time, AC Milan was at the peak of European football, and almost no team qualified to be their opponent.

Liverpool?

A declining aristocracy of England!

Liverpool is also a traditional aristocracy, but they are not even qualified to compete for the Premier League title, and in the whole of Europe, Liverpool, with its rough technology, is not ranked at all, and they are not comparable to AC Milan.

The competition also proved it.

AC Milan scored three goals in a row in the first half, and by half-time, AC Milan fans were celebrating the Champions League in advance, but in the second half, Liverpool played a magical six minutes: they took only six minutes to break through the AC Milan goal three times, so as to tie the score and drag the score into a penalty shoot-out.

Liverpool then won 3-2 on penalties to beat AC Milan to win the 50th Champions League.

This is the most classic Istanbul Miracle Night.

Zhang Yang came back to his senses and definitely gave the bottom line of negotiation, "Try to negotiate, the Champions League final is no better than other competitions, it is a game that should not be missed!" ”

Andy understood.

However, his understanding is different from Zhang Yang, he thinks that Zhang Yang means that the Champions League final should not be missed, and Zhang Yang actually wants to say that this year's Champions League final should not be missed.

————

Three days passed quickly.

Millwall trained for three days in a row and the atmosphere in the team was always good, but on the last day, the team was still full of nervousness, excitement and anticipation because the final round of the league was about to start.

Millwall's final league game can be said to be quite important or unimportant.

Millwall and Sunderland are the same on points.

If Sunderland continue to win in this round, Millwall's game will not matter, whether they win or lose will not affect the final league standings, otherwise, if Sunderland cannot win, Millwall will have a chance to fight for the title.

Everything depends on the opponent.

However, from the outside world, Millwall must have no chance, because Sunderland's opponent is Nottingham Forest.

Nottingham Forest are the team that have already confirmed relegation.

When Sunderland, who are top of the league, host Nottingham Forest, who have already been relegated, will there be any suspense in the game?
