Frederick's suggestion is almost a joke.

He thinks so.

When making a suggestion, he just wanted to embarrass Zhang Yang, after all, the other party is the so-called 'game instructor', and it is harmless to joke with this job title, he didn't think about 'giving up' the position, he is the team's 'first' assistant coach, and he feels that he will take over the head coach position if he has the opportunity in the future.

Dennis Wise is also only a temporary team leader, and the opponent does not even have the lowest level of coaching qualifications.

Frederick thought so.

It was obvious to others that he was making things difficult because it was almost impossible to get involved today.

Zhang Yang had just entered the club, and he didn't know anything about the team, he couldn't call out the names of each player, and there was a complete blank for their ability and performance.

In this case, how do you command the game?

In addition, Zhang Yang has no experience as an assistant coach, and he has never entered Neil Stadium, so how can he do auxiliary work?

Grigory frowned.

Everyone else watched, and Zhang Yang agreed with a sullen head.

"This guy really has no social experience! Frederick was joking, and he couldn't tell! Aldous-Vernival thought it was a little funny.

Denice Wise thought so too.

Ebenezer's mouth seemed to burst into laughter.

Frederick frowned, he suddenly realized that the situation was not good, and turned to look at Grigory, Mr. Chairman's brow loosened, and he smiled and said, "Since Frederick has something to do in the afternoon, let Zhang go to the game with the team!" However, Zhang has never been to Neil Field, and it is the first time to take up a job, Aldous, you and Zhang go together! ”

Grigory's decision came as a surprise to everyone.

At the end of the meal, Frederick left with a sullen face, not only from the restaurant, but also from the club.

Gregory learned that he had something to do in the afternoon, and kindly gave him a half-day off.

Frederick couldn't be happy at all, and he was thinking in confusion all the way, "Mr. Rigori is not so easy to talk to on weekdays, and it is difficult to take time off, especially on match days, it is even more impossible, what happened today?" ”

Soon everyone left.

Only Gregory and Ebenezer were left at the table.

Gregory picked his teeth with a toothpick, and he smiled and said, "It's made in China, it's a small wooden stick, it's very convenient." I use it every day after meals, Ebi, you can try it too. ”

"Thanks, I'm not interested."

Ebenezer didn't catch a cold very much, he was more concerned about what had just happened, "Why did you agree?" I mean let Zhang lead the team to the game? He's only been on his first day of work, and he hasn't even completed the entry procedures......"

Ebenezer meant that Zhang Yang didn't know anything about the team, and it didn't help at all to follow the team to play.

But every league game now is very important for Millwall.

Grigory laughed, "Ebi, you only think about the people, but you don't really think about the game. I have a different vision than yours. ”

"Oh?"

"I ask you, do you think we can win today?" Gregory asked questions.

Ebenezer frowned, thought for a moment and said, "It's difficult. ”

"Hardly possible." "Even if we're at home, Sunderland have won four games in a row, they're top of the league and they're going to be promoted if nothing else. What about us? It's not been good lately. So what's the difference between who leads the team? Frederick? He went, and Wise went on his own, no different at all. ”

"So you let Zhang try?"

Grigory nodded, "I don't want to sign anyone who doesn't create value, even if he doesn't have a high salary, so it's better to let him take advantage of the opportunity." ”

Ebenezer understood.

After the meal, Zhang Yang was with Wise.

The two went to the locker room together, rested in it for nearly an hour, and met and greeted many players.

Everyone is interested in publicity.

There may be many players who don't trust Zhang Yang, but they are still very interested, because Zhang Yang is so young, and such a young assistant coach will always feel weird.

Several young people chatted with Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang didn't talk to them, just knew each other, talked about his previous experience, and talked about his Weibo, he referred to Ebenezer's suggestion, and in order to get close to the whole team, he also took pictures with several players, and then used the computer in the room next to the locker room to send a Weibo with a photo.

'On the first day of signing for Millwall, I was with the Millwall players.

Below are nine photos in a row.

As soon as this Weibo was issued, it was immediately swiped below.

Fans who pay attention to 'Personality Publicity' would never have thought that a young blogger who was a BBC employee before would suddenly sign with Millwall?

What position did he sign on?

Is he going to play football? Or do you want to be a manager or something?

It's a joke for sure!

Some official media Weibo also helped to retweet it, and in just ten minutes, the number of retweets reached hundreds of times, and the number of comments reached thousands, and its hot scene can be imagined.

Zhang Yang didn't care.

When he decided to post on Weibo, he knew what the consequences would be, and the surprise of fans was predictable, in fact, even he thought it was incredible, how did he go from a BBC intern to Millwall's 'match instructor'?

Several onlookers were excited.

One of them is Terry Mastersen, a youth player who was only promoted to the first team in August and currently serves as the team's third goalkeeper.

With little chance of playing, Masterson is also not the slightest bit of a celebrity.

At this time, Masterson excitedly shouted to his teammates, "Look! Look! I'm going to be famous! 100,000 people will see my picture! Looking at this comment, someone else recognized me! He's definitely a fan of mine! ”

Curtis Weston is a striker who was promoted to the first team last year, he is 18 years old, a year younger than Masterson, and has already started playing for Millwall, but in England, where football is full of talents, he is really difficult to show his face, he said with some excitement, "There are nine photos, three of them have me, and there is a separate photo here, and more people will see me." ”

Others followed suit.

Zhang Yang used Weibo to send messages and mingle with several young players, which made other veteran players feel weird, especially those famous veteran players, who are used to being on the news and don't care about multiple opportunities to show their faces.

The excitement led to other ideas.

"This guy isn't going to use Millwall to gain popularity, right?" Jody Morris asked Wise.

Wise shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything.

The other players didn't care about Zhang Yang, in their minds, Zhang Yang didn't work at Millwall for long, after all, he was too young, maybe just to come to the club for a walk, and then leave after a while.

In addition, Zhang Yang is only an assistant coach.

It doesn't matter what an assistant coach is, Wise is the real leader, the actual head coach, and only the head coach can control them.

Most of the afternoon was spent resting.

At three o'clock, the team had a simple warm-up, that is, to relax at the training ground, and when it was almost four o'clock, the whole team gathered and took the bus to Neil Stadium.

Neil Stadium, the home of Millwall, was built at a cost of £16 million and was inaugurated in August 1993 by former London Mayor John Smith with a seating capacity of 20,000 spectators.

The stadium looks good from the outside, certainly not comparable to those world-famous stadiums, but it's still good enough as Millwall's home stadium.

After entering the court, Zhang Yang followed the team all the way.

First, enter the locker room.

It's almost time, so I take the team to warm up.

Afterwards, return to the locker room.

When Denice-Wise returns from the press conference, it's time to lead the team and get ready to start playing.

Throughout the whole process, it was Aldous Vernibal who was dealing with all sorts of things.

Aldous, who manages Millwall's development and youth teams, is nominally head coach of the youth team, but has a wide range of responsibilities and occasional first-team appearances, with a wealth of experience as an assistant manager.

Zhang Yang listened and watched from the side.

He didn't have any experience as an assistant coach and was completely at a loss for it, and now he could only jot down Aldous's steps to lead the team.

Aldous didn't look at Zhang Yang very much, or rather, he felt that Zhang Yang was too young, and he subconsciously felt contemptible, but Gregory asked him to help Zhang Yang get familiar with the work, and he did what he had to do.

That's all.

The two barely communicated on other fronts.

The time for the game came quickly, and Zhang Yang walked out of the passage with the team and entered the game site.

The cheers from the surrounding audience were exciting.

Zhang Yang came to the competition for the second time.

The last time he was at the Parc des Princes in France, when he was just a young reporter, he is now an assistant coach of a team.

It's a dreamy shift.

Zhang Yang followed Dennis Wise to the coach's seat and began to wait for the game to start.

He had some expectations.

Although he is only an assistant coach, he is still a little excited when he plays with the team for the first time, and when the referee blows the whistle to signal the official start of the game, his expression is strange.

Watching the increasingly intense game on the field, he suddenly had the feeling of being able to manipulate each player in a small way.

"It's ...... Do you do what you say? ”

"That's how it works!?"
