Chapter 65: Campaign Speeches

Millwall's first-team training ground, with many people crowded on the west side of the pitch.

The players gathered in a row, surrounded by club manager Ebenezer with a small box next to him, and youth director Aldous Vernival standing next to him.

Chairman Grigory watched from afar.

Zhang Yang and Frederick were both behind, and together they didn't pay attention to anyone.

There were a number of club staff members watching the excitement from a distance, including Rigal and Ebson, who worked at the restaurant, who pointed and chatted about it.

Ebenezer continued to speak to the players, "England is a democratic country, Millwall is also a democratic club, you can put your votes in this box according to your own ideas, and the club will take everyone's opinion into account to decide who will be the interim manager!" ”

"Now is the free time for discussion, everyone can take a short break, and the voting will take place in 10 minutes."

When Ebenezer finished speaking, Aldous walked over and handed out a small piece of paper for voting and a pen to each player in turn.

The next step is to wait for the voting to begin.

Many players also scattered to discuss, they were really a little surprised, the so-called voting for the head coach before, was just a joke of some people's idea, but they didn't expect it to become a reality.

A lot of people find it interesting.

Those veterans who are about to retire are also the first time they have encountered this kind of thing.

Players choose a manager?

It's really democratic.

But who to vote for has also become a big problem, and they used to just talk casually, but now they feel the pressure.

It's a head coach!

For a professional club, the manager is so important. Those top managers often get a salary no worse than star players.

In professional football circles, the head coach is also a star.

The manager has a lot of power and can sometimes even decide the future of the player, so it can be said that the manager is a position higher than the player and is also the immediate boss of the player.

Now they have the right to vote for the head coach of the team!

Some of the players are quite excited, but they don't know who to vote for, this is not a child's game, the selection of the head coach, the opponent will be the interim head coach, and his ability will also determine the next Millwall results.

No player wants a bad result, everyone wants a good result.

Then it is very important to choose a competent manager.

Frederick?

Publicity?

Who are you going to choose?

At this time, the opinions of the star players with prestige in the team become very crucial, and those players who do not have an opinion will often listen to the opinions of the star players.

Neil Harris said, "I think Frederick should be chosen, he will lead the team very calmly, if he is the head coach, at least we don't have to worry about the results falling too fast, relegation is still no problem!" You don't want to face the choice of leaving next season or staying with the team and being relegated, right? ”

Jody Morris disagreed, "Frederick? If we let him lead the team, we will have a hard time in the next game. ”

"But Zhang Yang is too young! Can he really be a manager? ”

"yes!"

"Frederick? You've probably never seen him, hesitant on the playing field, and whenever Wise asks him something, he's almost always hesitating, and he won't have an answer at all. ”

"If you want me to say, the team better find a new coach!"

"That can't be. And the new manager doesn't necessarily know the team, so I think Frederick is a good fit, at least we don't have to worry about changes. ”

"If only Wise could heal......"

Each player said that they all had their own opinions, and there were so many people in the whole team, it was difficult for them all to be unified.

Then it's up to you to vote!

At this time, Zhang Yang was having questions about the vote, and he asked Ebenezer, "Didn't you say that the election was fair?" You also used an analogy to say that it was like the election of the prime minister? ”

"yes, that's fair, what's wrong?" Ebenezer doesn't know why.

Gligory, Aldous and Frederick all looked over, as did the players nearby.

Zhang Yang said, "This is not the case with the prime minister election. The people can't know every candidate, they need to go around giving speeches and canvassing votes for themselves, but we don't have that. ”

"You mean ......?"

"Of course, I need to make an election speech! Of course, Frederick probably needs it too! ”

Frederick was already represented before he could speak.

Ebenezer and Grigory looked at each other, they didn't expect this step at all, but in front of so many people, there was no reason to refuse directly.

Ebenezer hesitated, sighed, beckoned everyone over, and said, "Okay, just say whatever you want." ”

Zhang Yang glanced at Frederick and signaled with his eyes, 'You come first, or I come first', Frederick was very nervous, he was completely unprepared, he didn't know what to say, he could only grit his teeth and let Zhang Yang come first.

Zhang Yang stood confidently in front of all the players.

He glanced at everyone with his eyes, then said with a relaxed expression, "I'll introduce myself first." You probably all know my name, but many people can't be sure. My name is Zhang Yang (Chinese), I'm a Chinese, just half a year ago, I was in college, and now I'm standing here, Millwall's first-team training ground, it's interesting, isn't it? Who would have thought? I can't even think of my own! But it happened. You guys think it's funny too! ”

The players looked at each other and they thought it was funny.

"But I'm not here to visit." Zhang Yang's face became solemn, "I was invited by Gregory to be the instructor of the competition. To be honest, I don't really understand the meaning of this job, but I've been trying to do it well, and a lot of people think I'm lazy and don't come to work on weekdays, but I remember the names of all of you, including your resumes, your performances, and I know you very well. ”

When everyone didn't know why, Zhang Yang started with the main goalkeeper on the left, "Your surname is Stark, your name is Graham, born in 1981, from Ireland, you have played for Beveren and Arsenal before, but you have no appearance record at Arsenal, you only have three games this season, and you have played all the other games." A total of 41 goals were conceded in the league, an average of one goal in 59 minutes, of course, you are not to blame, it is the poor defensive performance of the whole team......"

"Then there's Darren Ward, born in 1978, who played for Watford, and you probably have a lot of affection for there, but there was one season with Queens Park Rangers. You're the main defender but I think you should play a little bit more in the game because you scored three headers! ”

'Then there's Tony Clegg, who's only 20 years old and I think you're going to be a future defensive talent, but at this stage you have to work hard and try to get more plays.'

"Jody Morris, our big star, the heart of our midfield, last month France Football assessed you at 2.9 million euros, but I believe your ability is worth a lot more than that."

"Josh Simpson, Canadian, season to date, 17 appearances, 1 goal ......"

"Neil Harris, our top scorer ......"

"Joey Healy, you're strong, by the way, remember the last time I asked you to shovel someone, right? Well done! ”

“…………”

Zhang Yang spoke one by one from left to right, he not only said the names of the players, but also the surnames of a few players, as well as the number of appearances and performances of each player, and some also talked about their personal opinions.

Everyone felt incredible.

Everyone at the club, even Wise, Frederick or Ebenezer and Grigory, they couldn't know that much detail.

Finally, Zhang Yang finished talking about the last person, he paused slightly, and continued, "I am talking about this to prove that I know the team very well, I remember this, I hope to do a good job, only by understanding each of you, can we better help the team!" ”

"Now, here, Frederick and I are enlisting your support. Frederick has the advantage, yes, everyone says that because he's been at the club for ten years, but so what? If you think about the results of the previous team, we were all close to the relegation zone and I think everyone would be desperate for relegation. ”

"What happens when Frederick is the manager? I don't think I need to say it, everyone can imagine it! ”

Frederick sulked as he listened.

Zhang Yang's words continued, and he had already raised his fist, "But I'm different!" Some people say I'm young, but I can't be a manager when I'm young? I don't think so, it's just that the ability will be doubted, which is normal, and if it were me, I wouldn't want to vote for someone younger than me! ”

"But the important thing is that I can lead the team to victory!"

"It's the same with any professional team, the win is the most important thing, everything else is secondary!"

"Experience? What's the use of losing the game? ”

"Age? If you are old enough to be a manager, then it would be better to be older than each team! ”

"Qualifications? Does professional football have this thing? Look at those guys in their seventies and eighties, and they don't coach big clubs! ”

"So, in everything, victory is the most important thing!"

"I'll just say the last sentence here." Zhang Yang almost shouted this sentence, "If I become the head coach, I can lead everyone to victory!" It's not just empty words, the competition is the best proof of it! ”

"I won't talk about the previous ones, we still have a lot of games during this time, if the team doesn't have a good result, I don't need you to say more after a few games, I will definitely give up my place and leave the club with a failure, and I will publicly apologize to everyone......"

"This is my guarantee!"

"But that's not going to happen! I'm sure that from tomorrow we will usher in a new era, which belongs to Millwall, to us! ”
