Chapter 78: Image Matters

When the lucky result of 'Word Soul Divination' was 'Good Luck', Zhang Yang began to look forward to the game.

That's a lot of luck!

How lucky is 'Daji'? Considering that the opponent is only Derby County, which is not much different in strength, Zhang Yang feels that there is no need to tell the players about the opponent's habits, or what pre-war arrangements, as long as this starting lineup is placed on the playing field, they just sit back and wait for victory.

But the need to do is still to be done.

After the afternoon training, Zhang Yang summarized his tactics and habits of Derby County and explained them to the players one by one.

He then announced the squad and starters.

The whole team was amazed.

In the starting lineup, the other positions are better, and there is not much difference between weekdays, but Curtis Weston's start on the front line is definitely very unexpected.

Curtis Weston?

Even though he was on the bench twice and scored in three minutes, it would be better to describe it as luck.

Luck, not strength.

What qualifies him to be in the starting position in place of Kevin Gere, Braniff or Scott Dobby?

The others felt better, and they had nothing to do with Curtis Weston's appearance, even Kevin Gere and Scott Dobby.

Kevin Gere has started two games in a row, and it doesn't matter if he's off the bench for one; Scott Dobby knows that the transfer window opens in January and he will leave, and he has already found a home to play, so naturally he doesn't care if he plays or not.

Braniff doesn't feel good!

In the Millwall team, he is indeed not an absolute main striker, not as good as Neil Harris, who has been performing well, and he can make about the same number of appearances as Kevin Gere and Scott Dobby.

Scott Dobby is going to transfer away, he will be the team's semi-main striker, the only competitor is Kevin Gere, Kevin Keele started two games, and it should be his turn to start next, but I didn't expect the position to be squeezed out by a guy who usually looks down on him.

Braniff was unconvinced, he stared at Zhang Yang angrily, and his dissatisfaction was on his face.

Zhang Yang saw Braniff's displeasure, but he didn't bother to explain anything.

If other players, like Kevin Gere, are unhappy, he'll explain that just one game to give Curtis Weston a chance doesn't squeeze out the position or something, but Braniff?

Zhang Yang has only one impression of this guy: he doesn't listen to the command!

Not to mention a Braniff, even Jody Morris, the core of the team, and Darren Ward, the pillar of the defense, when he directs the game, they listen to their opinions and try to make changes in the game.

Braniff is different.

The last time he played against Brighton, Zhang Yang remembered it very well, and then he had to replace Curtis Weston on the field.

Don't say anything about being lucky or not, players who don't listen to instructions will definitely not be able to play.

In fact, Zhang Yang didn't think about any head coach authority, mainly when he 'predicted' the situation of the game, he had to make temporary or admonishments, but the players didn't listen, and continued to play as they should, so wouldn't his adjustment have no effect?

This is a fundamental matter of principle.

Braniff wants to play? Unless he corrects his attitude and says he will listen to the command in the game, there is no hope at all.

Zhang Yang would rather send an unknown youngster than a player who does not listen to the command.

————

At noon the next day, the whole Millwall team took a bus to the town of Great Derby to welcome the 26th round of the Championship.

Pride Park Stadium is located in the heart of the town of Greater Derbyshire.

When the bus with the Millwall logo drove into the town of Greater Derbyshire, many fans wearing Derby shirts on the side of the road kept shouting 'slogans' towards the bus.

That's not a good idea.

There are more insults and ridicule in the 'slogan' than in the normal language.

Zhang Yang simply closed the car window, put on headphones and listened to music, and looked at the fans outside the window with a smile.

A Derby County fan recognized him and shouted, "That's the new Millwall manager!" ”

"Maybe with him, we don't have to worry about winning or losing the game!"

A crowd of fans burst into laughter.

Zhang Yang's expression didn't change at all, and he still kept smiling, because he couldn't hear what the other party was saying.

Derby County fans don't think it's friendly, they look down on it and laugh at it.

When insulting a person, the other party keeps smiling, and the demeanor is maintained very well throughout the process, isn't that ridicule?

So the fans were even more annoyed.

It's a pity that their two legs can't catch up with the bus, and they can only collectively denounce it on the road, and discuss how to give Millwall a dismount.

Millwall certainly don't care about that, no matter where they play, it's all too normal to be treated as an away game.

When the bus entered the Pride Park Stadium, the environment finally became much quieter.

Fans have not yet entered.

There were a lot of journalists standing in the mixed section, but they couldn't cross the line and could only watch the Millwall players walk away.

Zhang Yang gave the reporters a smile.

After waiting in the dressing room for about the same time, he went to the pre-match press conference.

Zhang Yang is, of course, the protagonist.

This is the first away game since he became the head coach, but there will not be much suspense about the outcome of the game, and he will naturally be full of confidence under the confidence.

The flamboyant dress is also very decent.

Suits, ties, leather shoes, and a small bag with a tablet in his hand, coupled with a confident smile on his face, give media reporters the impression of 'outstanding temperament and image'.

Perhaps Derby County coach Gregory is also a very important part.

As the saying goes, 'if there is a red flower, there must be a green leaf', the great Einstein has studied the 'theory of relativity', and from a macro point of view, everything must be compared in order to produce a high and low difference.

When the above words are applied to Grigory, it becomes 'no contrast, no harm'.

Gligory's image is terrible.

He was dressed in a loose sports body, the dark gray color looked like he hadn't washed it for a few days, a slightly obese figure, dark frames, a few strands of hair that had been blown up, and all kinds of details were combined to give people a very sloppy feeling.

In this venue, the image of the head coach is also very important.

For example, several young female journalists seem to be interested in Zhang Yang, and ignore Gligory.

Grigory seemed to feel his face damaged and began to talk about the game, "...... We've just won three in a row so that's an encouragement for the whole team and we're confident we can still win this game. ”

'Millwall are a good team but they seem to be in a bit of trouble but that's the way it is in the professional game, doing everything you can to win is respect for the opponent and the league!'

"I'm sure we're going to give the Derby fans a great game!"

Grigory's words are provocative, saying 'Millwall is in trouble', which means questioning the ability to show off, and 'giving the Derby fans a great lead' doesn't mean that Derby will definitely win?

Everyone in the audience looked at Zhang Yang expectantly.

Zhang Yang still had a smile on his face, but the topic he talked about was confusing, "I'm here to state a point." ”

"There are many people who say that 'a person's image and temperament will affect his future', and I agree with this statement, because image and temperament often determine what other people think of you."

"My point of view is that a person's image and temperament will not only affect the future, but also the present. This is a process from the outside of the body, to the inner feelings, and then to the real environment. The external image and temperament of the body will affect the mood, not only your own mood, but also other people's senses and moods, and other people's senses will also affect speech, and affect your own feelings, which will affect thinking, judgment, and reality. ”

"So here, I think it's time to warn Mr. Grigori." Zhang Yang's expression was full of regret, "You should pay attention to your image, not washing your hair for three days is not what a manager should do, this is not just about you personally, and it may bring bad luck to the team......"

Zhang Yang smiled at the reporters after speaking, then turned around and walked away.

There was silence in the room.

All the reporters were stunned, and the first to react was Gregory, who roared angrily, "Really...... No politeness! There is no quality! Simply ......"

He couldn't say anything more.

A young man in his early twenties pointed out in public that he hadn't washed his hair for three days, could he still justify that he had washed his hair in the morning?

That would be a joke!
