After watching the training ground for a while, Zhang Yang went back to the head coach's office, ready to think about tactical issues behind closed doors, and was bumping into Ebenezer and Wilkinson on the way.

The two talked to each other as they walked.

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said hello, "Where are you going?" ”

Only then did the two of them raise their heads.

Wilkinson walked over and complained with a wry smile on his face, "Zhang, you've really found a good agent." ”

"Is that a compliment? Thank you. Zhang Yang doesn't care too much, the employee's salary is in direct conflict with the boss, Wilkinson definitely wants his salary to be as low as possible, and he hopes for the higher and higher.

Ebenezer's face was not very good-looking, and it was obvious that the negotiations he had just experienced were not very pleasant to him, and he suddenly asked, "I thought, Zhang, when will your car keys be returned to the club?" ”

"Car keys?"

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment before he realized what Ebenezer was saying, he immediately changed his attitude, coughed lightly and said, "I am still the head coach of the club, and I have the right to use the club's official car, by the way, I still have some work to do." It's nothing, I'll go first! ”

"You wait......"

Ebenezer barely caught his breath.

Zhang Yang made it clear that he was cheating, in fact, he didn't want to return it, the car was too good, the comfort was good, the acceleration was fast, and the interior decoration was high-end, he was very satisfied.

Return?

That means that he can only buy a car by himself, and he is reluctant to buy a car worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, not to mention the money spent, and the grade of the car will be lowered.

Ebenezer was a little helpless.

Wilkinson felt strange, he asked a little inexplicably, he roughly knew the situation, and suddenly his face turned a little dark, he was very strange before, the club's property, including a luxury car, but he hadn't seen it, he thought it was in the garage, he didn't bother to go up and take a look, how could he think that Zhang Yang drove away?

If there is no today's thing, Wilkinson thinks that it is nothing to let Zhang Yang drive, anyway, the car is also used by people, Zhang Yang, as the head coach of the club, has led the team with very outstanding results, and it is completely past to use it as a reward for a luxury car.

But......

Wilkinson, like Ebenezer, just got angry, all because of Zhang Yang's agent, that guy bites 'Millwall must sign a contract with Zhang Yang', and the lion's big mouth makes people very angry.

Wilkinson also felt that he should get the car back, as a means of revenge, to vent his bad anger? But he didn't want to clash with Zhang Yang, so he looked at Ebenezer.

Ebenezer immediately shook his head, "I've looked for him a few times, but he said that the manager can't control the manager, and I can't help it. ”

It's a fact.

In a professional club, especially in the UK, the head coach is equivalent to a professional manager, in charge of all matters related to the team, the scope of power is quite large, other department managers, and even the vice chairman have no right to manage the head coach, in other words, Zhang Yang drove away the club's official car, Ebenezer and Wilkinson have no choice, theoretically, the head coach's boss can only decide the head coach's work, that is, the club chairman or board of directors, no matter how bad it is, it must be the majority shareholder of the club.

Then there is only one man: Prince Mossad.

When Wilkinson went back, he talked to Prince Mossad on the phone, first reporting on the recent work, the development of the club and recent achievements, and then talking about the flamboyant 'personal problems', he used Arabic 'quack' to get a big pass, the outside staff couldn't understand it, and only the last sentence almost understood the meaning --

"Okay, I see."

Next, the staff outside the door saw Wilkinson walking out with a black face, and his whole body seemed to exude the aura of being unapproachable, and they were all a little unclear So, when Wilkinson came to Millwall Club, he kept putting on a smiling face.

What's going on?

At noon, Wilkinson went to the club restaurant and happened to meet Zhang Yang, he walked over with a tangled face, and sat down with Zhang Yang for lunch.

The atmosphere between the two was awkward for a long time.

Zhang Yang was a little confused, but he still sighed, "Okay, Brand, I decided to give you back the key." I didn't say that you guys were so stingy, I just used the car. ”

Wilkinson ignored the flamboyant complaint and sighed, "No need. You're in luck. ”

"Luck?"

Zhang Yang is even more unclear.

"I had a phone call with Prince Mossad and he said that if Millwall could win the league, he would decide to give you the sports car on the estate," Wilkinson said. ”

"Sports cars!?"

"That's a 400,000-pound sports car!" Wilkinson took a deep breath and his voice was full of jealousy, "I have already said that Millwall's chances of winning the league title are very good, but he decided to do so because you are the biggest contributor to the team......"

Wilkinson's tone full of jealousy made Zhang Yang feel a little confused, but when he heard '400,000 pounds', he immediately ignored the other party's tone, but said with a smile, "Ahem, don't worry, Brand, Millwall will win the championship!" ”

400,000 pounds!

According to the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to nearly six million yuan, and such a gorgeous sports car is really attractive.

Zhang Yang suddenly felt that the official car was simply weak, or the sports car was strong enough, very suitable for his own driving, he had always had a dream of 'fragrant car beauty'.

Now the incense car is about to come true!

Beauty is not far away?

A beauty must wear a bikini, tall, convex and backward, and beautiful in appearance, by this standard, Catherine is also a beauty, right? She also has a good figure, and she can be regarded as a beautiful actress, but she has a temper......

If Catherine wore a bikini...... Ahem......

Denis?

Denise should be good too......

Zhang Yang's head began to think that the first bikini beauty passenger of the gorgeous sports car, Wilkinson with a complaining face, had been ignored, but Zhang Yang felt that it was nothing, because he could eat lunch in front of this face, which was already the greatest respect for the other party.

Of course, this is definitely not racism!

Ahem......

Finally, Prince Mossad is such a good man!

Wilkinson's news made Zhang Yang feel refreshed and felt motivated to lead the team in training.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yang rarely stayed at the training ground for three hours, and he kept watching the team train, and occasionally went down the field in person to guide tactics-related issues.

After the training was over, Zhang Yang took the time to ask Andy about his contract negotiations.

"It's all talked!"

Andy's answer surprised Zhang Yang, "The basic terms have been negotiated, just waiting to add some details, it will end in a week, and the pre-season contract can be signed." ”

Andy gave the time.

Zhang Yang felt even more incomprehensible.

The coach's contract is not so complicated, the basic framework is there, if you understand it simply, you can compare it with a rental contract, the rental contract is very simple, adding some terms is only a few pages, and there are few proviso terms to negotiate with the landlord, even if it is more complicated, it is all a detailed legal issue.

The head coach's contract is the same, the contract has more than a dozen pages, basically all of which are provisions on legal issues, and some terms need to be discussed, such as 'break-up fee', 'signing fee', 'salary', 'bonus' and a series of other issues.

These are actually basic terms.

After the basic terms are negotiated, the proviso clause is mentioned by both parties, for example, Zhang Yang hopes that there will be a clause that 'if you choose to leave in the future, you can leave directly, and if the club takes the initiative to end the contract, you need to pay the remaining salary', which is very beneficial to him, because leaving has become a stress-free option, and the club must pay all the remaining salaries if he wants to dismiss him.

Zhang Yang's requirements for bonuses are also relatively high, for example, if the team wins the European championship, there must be a large amount of bonuses, but such as salaries, bonuses, etc., it doesn't take much time for the two sides to argue, and other proviso clauses are basically not too time-consuming.

In fact, the negotiations between the two sides are still relatively harmonious, and the basis is that Zhang Yang wants to stay in the club, and the club also wants Zhang Yang to stay, so there is less room for negotiation. Andy said 'the basic terms are all negotiated', and tomorrow there will be some detailed negotiations, and the contract can be negotiated, how can it become 'a week can be over, and the contract can be signed before the season'?

Zhang Yang can only sigh that the work efficiency of the British is too low, obviously it is already a contract on the surface, and it has to be negotiated very formally for a few days, as if to highlight the importance of negotiations?

If you want to comment on it, it must be 'boring'!

This is also the 'bureaucracy' of Europe.

On April 15, the 34th round of the Premier League began, and Millwall hosted Manchester City.

After the end of the last round, Millwall's hope of winning the championship is very high, but after all, it is not a sure victory, there are still many people who pay attention to the game, Millwall itself also attracts attention, the championship team will always have a lot of attention, and there are many reporters who come to interview.

Not for the game itself, not many people would be optimistic about Manchester City.

Manchester City are fifteenth in the league, the club's financial crisis is the biggest problem, high debt makes it difficult for them to invest in the transfer market, and most of the media believe that Manchester City can maintain their standards and stay in the Premier League.

Compared with Millwall's results, Manchester City is really much worse, interestingly, when Manchester City meets Millwall, many Manchester fans, when it comes to the 'future rise of Manchester City', are pinning their hopes on 'finding a similar manager to Zhang Yang', "Unless there is a high-ability manager to coach, otherwise next season, Manchester City will still be like this, and the goal will continue to be on relegation." ”

Manchester City's new coach Pierce does not want to hear similar remarks, which is tantamount to questioning his coaching ability, but he must admit one thing: in the managerial industry, he is still just an individual, he has not led the team to achieve good results, and the level of ability is not enough for the fans to recognize.

Pierce has been a manager for a shorter period of time than Zhang Yang, who was previously a player who was also an assistant coach at Manchester City in 2002 until last summer, when he was officially promoted to manager.

Manchester City chose to let Pierce coach, one is to consider that he knows the team better, and the other is to save money: the salary of an English Premier League manager can catch up with a star-level player, and Pierce's salary can't even catch up with the substitute players, which will naturally save the club a lot of money.

Pierce's level of coaching is difficult to determine.

The Manchester City club's plan is to see if Pierce is up to the task, and if there is a significant drop in the team's results, they will let Pierce leave and look for a manager who can lead the team.

Pierce's leadership can only be regarded as 'passing', Manchester City's relegation problem is not big, but that's all, the club still decided to give Pierce more time, after all, it is difficult to say whether changing the manager is a good thing.

This is Manchester City, and manager Pierce.

Millwall and Manchester City are not under a lot of pressure, and the coaching staff are all thinking about tomorrow's FA Cup semi-final against Middlesbrough, so winning this game is not a big problem.

The same goes for the course of the game.

City had some momentum at the start of the game, and even away from home they were quick to threaten the Millwall goal, but as the game wore on, Millwall dominated the game and scored in the 28th minute.

It was Braniff who scored the goal.

Braniff scored with a header from inside the box, and Millwall's lead made it easier for the team.

After that, there was basically no suspense in the game.

Millwall continued to push in the second half, with Smitchell and Sean Davies combining to allow substitute Curtis Weston to find the back of the net, and Weston scored his second goal with a volley, which is worth mentioning as Curtis Weston's first Premier League goal.

Last season, Curtis Weston performed well and was one of the contributors to the team's Championship title, but Weston is too young, with average technical ability, and there is no need to talk about experience.

Now Weston is just a fringe substitute for the team.

When players need to supplement the lineup, Weston is still a good choice, he doesn't seem to get the 'hero treatment', but in fact, there is no way, the Premier League is different from the Championship, Millwall has to deal with the opponent, has long been raised a notch, the requirements for the victory or defeat of the game are also high, and the players who are not strong enough can only be reduced to marginal substitutes.

Weston still has an advantage, and his advantage is that he is young.

At Weston's age, he can continue to stay at Millwall, play occasionally, gain a bit of game experience, and slowly grow and hone, and he still has plenty of time.

Zhang Yang was quite satisfied with Weston's performance.

What more could a nineteen-year-old player ask for? Being able to play for Millwall and perform well is already quite good, not to mention, Weston is in a key position, and has scored beautiful goals, he thinks he should give Weston more opportunities in the future, maybe Weston can also be like Braniff, can pick up some heavy responsibilities?
