On the way to the office building, Gregory didn't say a word.

Ebenezer walked side by side with him, also looking down at things, as if he had no intention of opening his mouth at all.

Both of them had in their minds what had just happened.

Ebenezer arrived at the club in the morning, and Gregory was greeted by him as soon as he arrived and went to the first-team training ground, neither of them knowing what was going on, they thought Zhang Yang would sum up yesterday's game, or emphasise team discipline or something.

This is normal.

That Chinese is so young!

It is difficult to have majesty in the team at such an age, so it is normal to find two people to 'back' it, because of the recent results, both of them have discussed to support them.

But I didn't expect Zhang Yang to talk about upgrades!

"A new goal? Upgrade? ”

When he reached the door, Grigory stopped and sighed, "I think I'm really old!" From the time I was president, I never wanted to lead Millwall to promotion to the Premier League! Maybe I dreamed of it before, but that's far away! Just yesterday, I was thinking about waiting for Dennis to come back and see if they could get along peacefully, you know, there can only be one manager, but Zhang has led the team very well, but now I find that it doesn't have to bother. ”

"If Zhang can lead the team to promotion, it doesn't matter if Dennis leaves." Ebenezer continued.

"I think so, but I don't know if he can do it."

Ebenezer suddenly laughed, "But speaking of which, this kid is really strong!" That's a promotion to the Premier League! If we can do it, we will definitely leave our name in the history of the club! ”

Grigory also smiled, "After listening to Zhang's words just now, I feel a few years younger, and I feel full of motivation!" ”

That might be what he wanted to see. You know, the team hasn't been very motivated lately, so Zhang set a new goal for the team. ”

"But it's a ...... goal"

Gregory didn't know how to describe it for a while, he simply said, "It's amazing!" Faraway! Be creative! But I love it! ”

"Me too."

"Then let's keep watching!"

————

First team training ground.

The players were doing the morning warm-up laps, Zhang Yang stood in the middle of the court, took out a small notebook in his hand, occasionally looked up at the team, and made notes on it with a pen.

The two assistant coaches, Frederick and Aldous, led by example and ran with the team, but they were only at the back of the team, probably only running two or three laps, and then went to the field to wait.

They don't have the fitness of a player after all.

By the time the players reached the second lap, Frederick and Aldous had already been pulled off for most of the lap, and the team behind them was about to catch up, and the two didn't care, just jogging and chatting.

Frederick was out of breath, and his voice was not small, "Crazy! He's a madman! ”

"Upgrade? It's insane! ”

"I can't imagine! Anyway, I never thought about it, I didn't think I had a chance, it was too hard! For us! ”

Frederick kept talking.

Aldous said, "I think there's a bit of a chance, now we're seventh, just go one step further." ”

"And the promotion play-offs! How can it be so easy for four teams to compete for a spot? And it's hard to keep the results, we tied the last game! "Seeing Aldous say 'chance', Frederick immediately retorted.

Odells shrugged.

Working together for so many years, he knew Frederick too well.

No matter what he does, Frederick's first thought is never the prospect or hope, but the difficulties in front of him, and because of this, although the work is well done and the contact time is common, few people like him.

"Surely it can't be!"

"We're not going to have a chance to level up!"

"No matter how hard you try, it's useless, our squad is so bad! Unless, of course, Mr. Gregory becomes rich and he helps invest in a few stars......"

Frederick kept talking.

Aldous's ears hurt when he heard it, and he simply said, "No matter what, we just need to do a good job of training." ”

"Of course, if you don't say it, I'll do it too! I'm worried that he's putting the blame for the team's promotion failure on me! ”

“……”

The players who were running the lap were also discussing, they were more numerous, and their talk was more chaotic--

"I think Zhang is right!"

"Call the boss! Let the boss hear, be careful that you can't play! ”

"But I'm rooting for him!"

"I also think the coach is right! We are already seventh in the league, and if we win a few more games, we will definitely be in the top six, so how can we also have a place in the promotion play-offs, and we will have a chance to be promoted! ”

"But what he said just now is really exciting! It's like we're already top of the league! ”

"I can't wait to play in the Premier League!"

“……”

Neil Harris was at the front of the line.

He is thirty-two years old, but his physical condition has not yet declined, and his physical fitness is quite good, and whenever he runs in the morning, he always deliberately runs at the front, as if to prove that he is not old.

Harris slowed down when he heard his teammates talking behind him, and he ran side by side with Darren Ward, saying, "I don't know if we have a chance, but I want to fight for it!" I'm in my thirties, and it's a bit unimaginable to be able to play in the Premier League at an age when I'm about to retire! When the time comes, I will be a substitute, and I am willing! ”

Darren Ward laughed, "I thought so too, I only played in the Premier League for one season, and that was six years ago, but unfortunately I was young and only played a few times, which is a shame. I don't think I will have a chance in the future, but now I have hope again. ”

"yes!"

Joey Healy agreed, "I'm so much younger than you guys, but I still want to go to the top league!" ”

The main players said so, and the substitutes were even more expectant.

Now they are substitutes in the Championship and when the team is promoted, if they don't leave, they will become substitutes for the Premier League side.

That's not the same at all.

Substitutes for Premier League teams can easily find a regular place in the lower leagues.

Having Premier League experience is like going to the top stadium with a layer of gold, and many teams like players who have experience in the top league, which will give them more experience of the big game.

Jody Morris ran in the middle of the line, silently listening to his teammates talking, not saying a word.

In the whole team, he thinks the most.

It's like a joke often made by teammates, "Morris tops the top half of the team alone", that's how it is in terms of value, his performance is excellent, and his value is also very high, it can't be said that he can compare to half a team, but a third or a quarter definitely has.

He is also well paid, almost £20,000 a week.

Millwall's average players are only a few thousand pounds a week, and those who are on the fringes are still on 'apprenticeship contracts', and the salary is negligible.

That's the gap.

When people are in different positions, they think differently.

Most players can reach the level of Morris and become the core of a Championship team, and a weekly salary of 20,000 pounds is enough to brag for a lifetime, but he is different, because he grew up with the aura of 'genius'.

Jody Morris came through the Chelsea Academy.

In the whole of Europe, the Chelsea academy is not a big deal, not to mention the famous Spanish La Mania academy (Barcelona), Castile academy (Real Madrid), and the same league Manchester United, Arsenal academy, there is also a certain gap, but only for English football, Chelsea academy is also the cradle of talent.

Once Morris was a genius among geniuses!

Ten years ago, at the age of seventeen, he was promoted to the Chelsea first team and played for Chelsea in the Premier League.

At the time, almost everyone thought it was only a matter of time before he would become a big star in the future.

He's only seventeen!

After three seasons in the top flight, he is only 20 years old, and the other 20-year-old 'talents' are still in the youth team, and he has already had three seasons of experience.

"In the future, Jody will not lose to Beckham, not to lose to Michael Owen! He will stand at the pinnacle of English football! ”

This was the assessment of the British press at the time.

But after a few seasons in Chelsea's first team, he is still a fringe substitute, making just a dozen appearances per season, mostly in the Carabao Cup, where he has only come off the bench.

He was still young.

In order to have more opportunities to play, he resolutely chose to leave.

He went to Rotherham.

He went to Leeds United.

It was two painful defeats, neither at Rotherham nor Leeds United, he was not appreciated by the manager and did not have many opportunities to perform, and it was only after coming to Millwall that he was appreciated by Dennis Wise and found the right place - midfield, which became the heart of the team, the engine of midfield.

Morris was unwilling.

Since the start of the morning training, he has been thinking about the words of "people's desires are endless, and if you have money, you will want to make more money, and the same is true for professional football".

With the experience of 'Chelsea Genius', he is desperate to make a comeback and show everyone that he is still the same Chelsea talent, desperate to return to the top flight and prove his worth against his old club.

Let them know that it is wrong to give up on yourself!

Let them know that they can be successful if they leave Chelsea!

But he was twenty-seven years old.

Season after season, as he gets older, his fighting spirit is about to be worn out, and in the last two seasons, it is impossible for him to fight.

Now there's your chance!

Morris listened silently to his teammates' conversations, he didn't say a word, but his heart was more urgent and excited than anyone else.

Promotion to the Premier League?

From now on, be sure to work hard to make it happen!
