The embarrassment of going home at night was only a small episode in life, and Catherine's shyness only lasted for a moment, and by the next morning, everything was back to its original appearance.

When Catherine saw Zhang Yang, she still had a tense face and didn't say a word, as if the two sides didn't know each other at all.

The two are like fire and water.

However, Zhang Yang is a small drop of water, Catherine is a big flame, Zhang Yang can only stay away quietly, and also prevent when the flame erupts and inexplicably evaporates himself.

He sat on the couch and read the newspaper that had just arrived.

Millwall is in London, and the good thing is that a lot of the London sports media will mention a sentence or two in their reports, and the bad thing is that they have almost no media dedicated to themselves.

Now is the time to enjoy the benefits.

Flipping through the newspaper delivered in the morning, almost all the sports media paid attention to Millwall, perhaps because of the big event in Millwall - Dennis Wise, who is a part-time manager, was seriously injured.

Wise's injury is too wide-ranging!

Millwall are missing a key midfielder; Millwall lost its sole leader; Millwall lost their only part-time head coach.

That last point has the biggest impact.

It's not a big deal to be a team leader, the team leader's job is a lot duplicated with the head coach, especially in a small club, but without a head coach in the middle of the season, how will the future games be played?

Many media outlets are 'anxious' about this.

It's like a report from London Sport, "Millwall lost Wise, it's like losing half of the team!" Millwall had just won three league games in a row and they were not in the mood to enjoy the win at all. Wise's injury was a fatal blow to them! What to do in the second half of the season depends on the decision of the chairman, Grigory, but Grigory is overwhelmed by Millwall's financial problems, and it is said that they will have to pay off a lot of debts in January, and the loss of Wise will not only have to change the head coach, but their financial situation will also be worse! ”

The British Football Journal also reported that "Millwall will face Waterloo because they can't find a replacement for Wise!" At this time, good managers are in their jobs, maybe they should consider letting Frederick coach, that is no cost, the new head coach may not be better than Frederick, at least he knows the team very well! ”

The Times, The Sun and others also mentioned the news of Wise's injury, and they only talked about it a few words in the Championship roundup, with the relevant comments focusing on Millwall's situation.

The rest of the sports news in the newspapers is pretty much all about looking forward to the intense schedule after Christmas.

Millwall has not yet considered this.

Zhang Yang is also a little worried about the team, he has only been a 'game coach' for a long time, if there is a major problem in the team, maybe his 'game coach' will not be able to work for long?

It was the most comfortable job he'd ever found.

Zhang Yang sighed regretfully.

However, thinking that he had signed a 'guaranteed contract', he felt that there was nothing to worry about, and it was best for the club to take the initiative to dismiss him, and he could get compensation for three years and nearly 200,000 pounds in one go.

Zhang Yang suddenly suffered a little bit of gains and losses.

On the one hand, he doesn't want to lose his job, he has a good life at Millwall, and he can rub the heat of football, patiently manage his coaching career, and maybe have a good development in the future.

On the other hand, two hundred thousand pounds.

In his previous life, he had a car and a house, and he was considered an elite person in society, but if the family business is counted together, how many 200,000 pounds can there be?

It's a choice of preference, future, and money.

In this materialistic era, money is always full of temptation, and Zhang Yang doesn't know how to choose, he can only curse secretly, "Damn money!" Come more! ”

If it were two million, twenty million pounds, he wouldn't have to choose at all.

Millwall Club, President's Office.

As the president of the club, Gregory is already in a hurry.

He didn't sleep well all night when he heard the news of Wise's injury, and this morning Wise was transferred back to London, and he went to visit him as soon as possible, and got the same diagnosis.

For the next four months, Wise will certainly not be able to serve as head coach.

A bolt from the blue!

Grigory was almost stunned, he had always been shrewd, but he also showed an anxious look, he was over 65 years old, past the age of retirement, and he thought that he should retire early.

"I'm getting old!" Gregory and Ebenezer complained, "If I had been younger, I would have figured it out, but what now?" We can't sell another core player and change it to a coach who doesn't know where to stay! ”

Millwall is really poor!

Even if they sold Scott Dobby in January, they wouldn't have scraped together enough money to pay off their bank debts, let alone come up with a large sum of money to hire an interim head coach.

If you hire a coach who is not well-known, of course, there is no big problem, 100,000 or 200,000 pounds of salary, they can still come up with it, the key is, what is the difference between hiring an unknown coach and promoting the assistant coach in the team?

Maybe it's not as good as the latter.

The assistant coach knows the team very well, and the new coach has to start from scratch.

But big-name coaches, they definitely can't afford to hire them.

It didn't matter much before, Wise's results were not very good, but relegation can be completed, as long as the relegation goal can be completed, successfully stay in the Championship, rely on the revenue share of the second league, as long as the belt is tightened, the club can still be maintained until next season.

There's no way to fix it now.

Ebenezer smiled bitterly, "You should be here, we only have two ways, one is to ask for an outside coach, and the other is to improve the coach of the team." But given our situation, there is really only one option left. ”

"You mean to let Frederick coach?" Grigory asked in affirmation.

'Frederick knows the team very well and if he is the manager, the team will at least be able to play normally.

"But Frederick......" Grigory hesitated, "can he really be a manager?" "It's no problem for him to lead the team in training, but if he is the head coach, he will be more nervous than Anthony when he comes to the game!" ”

Anthony Robinson is a talented striker for Millwall's youth team.

He was promoted to the first team at the beginning of the season and was developed as a talent in the team, but he came off the bench three times in a row, and he was so nervous that he played abnormally, so he was sent to the youth team to train.

Ebenezer laughed, "Have you forgotten there's another one?" ”

"You mean ......"

"Publicity! He directs the game no worse than Dennis, Frederick is only the nominal manager, we can say to him, let him go to the field and listen to the publicity. ”

Grigory hesitated, "But I don't think their relationship is good, will Zhang Yang be willing to assist Frederick?" ”

"If it were me, I wouldn't want to." "But if we can give them a fair chance to play and convince one side to lose, things will definitely be better." ”

"Fair play?"

"Yes!"

Ebenezer smiled confidently.

Zhang Yang has five days off.

Five days just over Christmas, he went out for a walk quite leisurely, and bought a Christmas tree, small toys and gifts, ready to use on Christmas Day.

This made Catherine's face warm a little.

Zhang Yang was not trying to please the female tyrannosaurus, he just wanted to feel the atmosphere of Christmas in Europe on a whim.

That's interesting.

But just as the workers had moved the Christmas tree to the house, and Zhang Yang was about to show off his rare artistic energy, a phone call called him to the Millwall Club.

When Zhang Yang came to the chairman's office with doubts, he was faced with the topic of so-called 'fair competition'.

"You mean...... Let me compete with this guy to be the head coach? Zhang Yang's expression was very complimentary.

"Ahem......"

Frederick, who was next to him, coughed lightly, expressing his displeasure with Zhang Yang calling himself a 'guy'.

Zhang Yang ignored him.

He was so surprised!

In fact, in the past two days, Zhang Yang is also thinking about the club's situation, in his opinion, the club has only two ways to solve it, one is to hire a new head coach, and the other is to promote Frederick.

The latter is somewhat unacceptable.

If Frederick becomes the head coach, he feels that he should probably consider resigning, or he will post more Weibo in the game, and as long as the other party does not listen to him, he will use the tools of public opinion to maintain his authority.

Zhang Yang even thought of a way.

But Ebenezer told him to let him and Flandrick 'compete fairly' for the head coach position?

Can I be a head coach?

Zhang Yang was so surprised, it's not that he denied his ability, but how many things a head coach should know, it is still conceivable, he doesn't even have a basic coaching certificate, and he can only be regarded as a pseudo-fan of football, what player's training, football tactics, and contact with the media, dealing with many affairs of the team, etc., he is completely smeared, most of them are unknown, the only thing he can do is to command the game, but directing the game is only part of the head coach's job.

No matter how much he thought out, he could not have imagined that the club would consider him as head coach.

Is this a trap?

Zhang Yang decisively refused with suspicion, he found a good reason, "I refuse!" ”

"Refuse?" Ebenezer and Grigory were quite surprised.

Frederick was full of joy, and said that this guy was still self-aware.

Zhang Yang said seriously, "Yes, I refuse, because I only signed a 'match coach' contract with the club, and if I am the head coach, I will definitely have to deal with a lot of things, and I have no responsibility to do more of these jobs." ”

What he meant was that he had no reason to do the 'hard and tiring' job as a head coach with the salary of a 'match instructor'.

The argument is too strong to refute.

Ebenezer and Gregory looked at each other, they were a little crying and laughing, it was the first time they had heard that a club coach would refuse to be the head coach, it was a rare opportunity, even if it was a free job, there were many people who wanted to do it.

But the 'arranged script' has to be performed no matter what, otherwise they won't do it for nothing.

So Grigory smiled and said, "If you can compete with Frederick and officially become the head coach, the club will give you a salary increase." ”

"How much?"

"Twice as ...... No, three times! Gregory gritted his teeth, and he seemed very reluctant.

Zhang Yang was suddenly defeated by the high salary.

In fact, when he refused just now, he regretted it a little, being a head coach is hard work, but it is also a lot of people in the coaching industry.

Now I can get three times my salary...... Calculate, the current weekly salary is 500 pounds, and after the promotion, you can get 4,500 pounds, and the annual salary can easily exceed 200,000 pounds!

This is the legendary step to the sky!

"If so, I agree." Zhang Yang agreed very hesitantly and reluctantly, even if he has been defeated by money, but men must be reserved.

In the end, in the chairman's office, several people agreed that Frederick and Zhang Yang would have a 'fair game' for the head coach position.
