Zhang Yang didn't continue to hang out with Weston, and after lunch, he returned to the head coach's office, and then asked Aldous to tell David Livermore to come over.

The first-team players are taking a lunch break.

Most of them went to the club's dormitory, while others stayed in the locker room and found a small corner to rest for a while.

Livermore was one of the minority, so he stayed in the locker room, found a hidden corner to lie down, and listened to music to relax.

Normally, it doesn't take long for you to fall asleep.

Today he was woken up.

"Mr. Verneval?" Facemore was a little surprised, and he sat up and took off the second level.

Aldous nodded, "David, go to the head coach's office, Zhang said that there is something to do with you." ”

"Boss?"

Livermore was a little confused, but he still got up and went to the head coach's office, and when he got to the door, he saw Zhang Yang writing and drawing on the table, writing and drawing on a piece of paper with a frown on his brows, as if he was worried about something.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Livermore politely knocked on the door.

Zhang Yang raised his head, waved him to sit down, and then said, "David, I want to talk to you." ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Talk about you, talk about football, talk about the team, or, talk about the future?" Zhang Yang explained in a very general way, and found that Livermore seemed to be nervous.

It was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Although he is the head coach of the team, but due to his young age, few players will be nervous to talk to him, if a few young players still talk about the past, David Livermore is already 24 years old, two years older than himself, what is there to be nervous?

Livermore was not only nervous, his expression became a little scared.

Zhang Yang was about to speak, but Livermore immediately said anxiously, "Boss, no, Mr. Head Coach, you don't want to terminate the contract with me, do you?" Was it because I didn't play well in the last game? But trust me, I'm going to do my best! I still want to stay in the team, even if I play as a substitute, it doesn't matter if I play or not......"

Zhang Yang's face suddenly darkened, "I didn't want to terminate the contract with you!" And I haven't been involved in the contract issues between the club and the players. ”

Livermore listened, looked at Zhang Yang carefully, seemed to doubt the authenticity of the words, and when he saw that serious and serious expression, he exhaled a long breath and became a lot more relaxed.

"It's better not to terminate the contract!"

Zhang Yang was a little puzzled, he asked, "You signed a guarantee contract with the club, right?" Why are you afraid of termination? If the contract is unilaterally terminated by the club, you should receive all the remaining salary. ”

"That's not much!" Livermore sighed and said, "My weekly salary is 1,700 pounds, and I renewed my contract last May, and I still have a year and a half left on my contract. ”

"A two-year contract?"

Livermore nodded, "Yes, when my contract expires, I'm going to leave the team, but if I do, I'll have to go to the lower leagues to find a job, and my agent told me that if I can stay at Millwall, try not to leave, because it's hard for him to negotiate a contract for the same salary for me." ”

"If you leave Millwall, will your salary be reduced if you go to another club?"

Livermore shrugged, "My agent said it would be nice to have a club willing to sign me. ”

"Then why don't you consider leaving?" Zhang Yang asked, "I mean, if you think you're not going to be a professional, why don't you find another way out?" For example, to learn some skills, to do other jobs. You can't spend the rest of your life in Millwall. ”

Livermore lowered his head.

He seemed to be thinking, and then he raised his head and said a little hesitantly, "My sister is still in middle school, and my mother raised me since I was a child, but I am a single parent, my father left when I was a child, and we can only live on government benefits." In order to provide for her sister to go to a good school, she also did some bad jobs......"

"Bad job?"

Livermore stood up as if frightened, "You look down on my mother too?" ”

Zhang Yang immediately reacted and explained, "Sorry, I didn't realize it just now, I understand your mother, she is great. ”

"Since I became a professional footballer, my mom hasn't done that kind of work anymore." Livermore was a little more stable, "I earn just enough for my sister to go to school, if I don't work...... I mean, if you leave Millwall and find another job, your income will be reduced, and my sister will have to change schools. ”

Zhang Yang understood a little, but he still had a little doubt, "What school does your sister go to?" So expensive? ”

"St. Paul's Girls' High School!" Livermore said with some pride.

Zhang Yang was in awe.

There are nine public schools in the UK, St. Paul's Girls' High School is one of them, and it is also the only public school that only admits girls.

The so-called 'public schools' in Britain are not literal 'public schools', but have the opposite meaning, they are pure 'aristocratic schools', and the fees are quite high.

Zhang Yang doesn't know the specific fees, but tens of thousands of pounds a year is still very easy.

He somewhat understood Livermore's situation.

Under such pressure, it is no wonder that he would rather 'mess around' at Millwall, willing to play as a substitute all the time, rather than choose to leave and face a future that may be a little confusing.

Zhang Yang staggered the topic and asked the question he wanted to know, "David, what will happen to you if you become a big star?" ”

"Becoming a big star? I? ”

Livermore pointed at himself, as if he couldn't imagine it, "I can't be a big star, it's hard to even play right now!" ”

"I mean 'what if'!" Zhang Yang pulled the corners of his mouth.

Livermore finally confronted the question, "What if?" Well, I didn't think about it because I felt like I was ...... Well, if I become a big star, I'm sure I'll make a little more money, right? I will make life better at home and buy my sister more new clothes, she always can't keep up with her classmates. I also take my family on trips to let my sister see the outside world, which my mom says is good for her future. ”

"What about the money?"

"Save it up! It's always good to have more money in your account if you use it later. Livermore said as a matter of course.

Zhang Yang nodded with satisfaction.

That's the 'decent' answer!

————

After Livermore left, a question suddenly appeared in Zhang Yang's heart--

Livermore?

A strong man with a noticeably slow brain, well-developed limbs, a simple mind, and a tendon to do things.

His sister?

Can you have an IQ close to St. Paul's Girls' High School?

That's not right!

Livermore's father left early, his mother did 'that kind of job' for a long time to raise him, and his sister was about ten years younger, just starting middle school.

"That's ...... so"

Zhang Yang suddenly realized, and then shook his head in annoyance, thinking about when he became gossipy, and then continued to think about the followers of the 'Words and Spirits'.

He made his choice.

He's not thinking about the player's family, it's about the pressure, it's not about football, it's about the player.

He thinks about the potential and character of the players.

Weston also has a lot of potential, but improving his ability in one area may only make up for his shortcomings, and it will not make him a player with outstanding performance, and he will still be able to serve as a substitute at that time.

Livermore is different.

Livermore has many, many shortcomings, but he's incredibly strong and can make a surprising difference when it comes to the field.

The last one is proof of that.

Livermore suddenly came on and upset the Watford defence before Millwall could get their chance.

What if you gave Livermore a thought of ability?

For example, a long shot!

With a strong long-range shot and a strong body to back him up, Livermore could be a battery for the team.

Whenever he has the chance, he can be a threat!

In addition to the abilities of the two, Zhang Yang considers the personality, a cheerful young man like Weston, even if his ability improves, will think that he is a 'genius' and will not be grateful to him.

Livermore is different.

He is a man in a desperate situation, and if he is given the opportunity to succeed, he will definitely return the trust.
