Chapter 45: Interim Head Coach
Since Wise's advice was not heeded, Zhang Yang sat in his place and fiddled with his tablet.
After the Weibo message was sent out, hundreds of replies were received, some of them were supportive of Zhang Yang, thinking that Denice Wise should accept the advice, some were expressing dissatisfaction, and there were a lot of swearing, because Denice Wise is the former captain of Chelsea and an excellent former international of England, and his supporters are quite numerous.
Zhang Yang looked at them one by one.
When Sunderland attacked on the flanks and scored the ball, the naysayers died down, and there was a lot of praise and a bit of arrogance in tone.
"I said you should trust the bloggers!"
"Publicity is God!"
"In front of Zhang Yang, what does Wise calculate, Zhang Yang will be very good even if he becomes an assistant coach!"
ββ¦β¦β
These comments look very interesting, Zhang Yang is free to check them one by one, and he will reply on a whim.
So some fans questioned, "Zhang Yang, don't you have to pay close attention to the game?" You're an assistant coach now! β
Zhang Yang thanked the fans for the reminder, saying, "I've been paying attention to the game. β
He's certainly keeping an eye on the game.
It didn't take long for Zhang Yang to use his 'prediction' ability to judge the game, but there was no dangerous situation or a very good chance to score, and it didn't make sense for him to do anything.
But when the game reached the 39th minute, Zhang Yang saw a good opportunity for Millwall.
In the 'Foresight' picture, after about two minutes, Sunderland's defenders would foul in the box and the referee awarded a penalty, which striker Scott Dobby took and flew over the crossbar and into the line.
"It's a pity!"
Zhang Yang frowned and watched the game carefully.
When that scene actually happened, he put down his tablet and walked over to Denice-Wise, "Denice, I have a little suggestion. β
Wise looked over.
Although he experienced the embarrassing 'not accepting the suggestion' just now, he is still the head coach, Zhang Yang is just a young and almost half-way 'game instructor', Wise doesn't take it too seriously, especially when he thinks Zhang Yang is 'guessing the game'.
Now that he has a penalty opportunity, it is the best time to equalise and he is in a good mood again.
Wise turned his head and asked, "What advice?" β
'I don't think Scott is fit to take the penalty. From the start of the game until now, Scott didn't play well, there were two errors, and we should have let the other players take the penalty. β
Zhang Yang made a suggestion.
Wise thought for a moment with a frown.
Under normal circumstances, the head coach does not intervene in the penalty shoot, and the players consciously choose the free thrower.
Scott Dobby has just joined the team, but he has spent Β£2 million at the club to buy the star, and although his performances so far have been mediocre, helping the team to score only one goal in the league, his ability is still worthy of recognition, perhaps he just hasn't adapted to the team's environment.
So Wise patiently said, "Zhang, we should trust Scott, he is a very strong striker. We should also trust everyone's choice! β
Zhang Yang pursed the corners of his mouth and sat back in a witty manner.
He knew that Wise would not accept the suggestion easily, but he didn't expect this guy to be 'stable' to this extent, just now Sunderland scored a goal, and he thought that the other party might follow the 'advice', but the other party obviously had no intention of changing.
Maybe he still thinks he has a high level of coaching?
Zhang Yang doesn't know how to be a head coach at all, but since the game started, Wise has been sitting without any command, as if he has become a fan watching the game in the coach's seat, completely allowing the players on the field to play freely, whether it is being scored or having a good opportunity, he can sit steadily, everything seems to be not taken to heart.
That's how the head coach works?
If leading the team to play is so easy, Zhang Yang feels that he doesn't have the ability to 'predict', and he can do it.
Zhang Yang was full of doubts about Wise's ability to command the game, and his movements in his hands were not idle, and he immediately sent out a Weibo message--
"#η±³ε°ζ²ε°VSζ‘εΎ·ε °#
Wise was advised to choose someone else to take the penalty, but Wise thought it was more important to trust the player (team-mate).
But I have a hunch that the ball will kick off! β
Just half a minute after the tweet was posted, Scott Dobby kicked the ball over the crossbar with a big kick, which made people wonder if he was a spy at Millwall.
"It's a pity!"
"Scott was probably a little too nervous! The standard of this ball is really too bad......" Stadium commentator Mike Johnson gritted his teeth and squeezed out two sentences, many fans could hear it, he was anxious and wanted to curse, the target must be Scott Dodge, who just kicked the penalty kick.
Scott Dobby was also chagrined and ashamed.
He covered his cheeks and walked back, seemingly shameless to face his teammates again.
But that didn't help the score.
Sunderland's players almost raised their hands in celebration, they were so happy to see that the opponent was about to tie the score, but they didn't expect the opposing striker to come and show mercy.
The Millwall dugout was bleak.
Just now, everyone was expecting to tie the score, and now the opportunity is flying away.
In addition to being depressed, Wise was also a little dumbfounded, and his emotions were mixed with some embarrassment, "Why was this guy guessed again?" He rolled his eyes and glanced at Zhang Yang, but finally sighed and said nothing.
Clancy whispered to Simpson, "Josh, it's time for you to worship God!" β
"I didn't say it counted!"
Simpson glared at the dead fish, and then he leaned over and whispered to Clancy, "I think Denise should have listened to that guy more, he said it twice in a row, and even luck was pretty good." β
"yes, I think so, but Denise ......" Clancy shook his head.
The two were silent together.
Those of you who know Wise well across the team know that he does want to be a good leader, but when it comes to the game, he's more of a substitute and he hardly comes out in command.
You can also see one or two from the number of substitutions in the past.
Since Dennis became the team leader, until now, Millwall has only made one substitution in an average of 53 minutes, and it seems that there are many substitutions in the last two in a game, but the vast majority of these substitutions are used on Dennis himself, he has an average of three games, and he has to play twice for Millwall, and the other players are sitting on the bench, so they have almost no chance to play.
This made a lot of players unhappy.
But Dennis is the leader, and they can't say anything.
ββββ
The first half of the game was over.
The score of the two teams is still 0-1, with Sunderland leading at Neil Stadium by one goal.
With the score down, Millwall's players were in little spirit, the atmosphere in the dressing room was silent, everyone was doing their own thing, and there was very little communication between them.
Zhang Yang and Wise walked into the locker room together.
Wise waved at everyone, drawing all their attention, and then said, "Don't care, everybody! I watched it off the pitch and we played well! Although we were behind, there was still time to recover in the second half, so if we keep going, we have a chance! β
Listen and go on with your own business.
Zhang Yang was stunned.
He thought that Wise was going to say something specific to make adjustments, or analyze and summarize the game, but he didn't expect the other party to say such a paragraph, and then there was no follow-up, and he finally understood a little bit why Millwall had the strength of the squad in the middle of the Championship, but they had been struggling in the relegation zone.
Ten minutes had passed, and the second half was about to begin, and Wise spoke again.
He said to Zhang Yang, "In the second half, I will play, and I will go up as soon as it starts." When the time comes, you will be in charge of the game, you must remember, don't make big adjustments in the game, if there is a problem, you can communicate with the fourth official, and don't change people easily, there is no way, you can also call me while you are free......"
Wise admonished a lot of people in a row.
If the assistant coach was Frederick, he wouldn't say that much, because Frederick is very experienced and knows what to do when he encounters problems.
But flamboyant?
He never had experience as an assistant coach, let alone directing a game.
He doesn't understand anything.
Wise felt that he had to say more, so that the other party knew what to do in a situation, and he didn't expect the other person to really command the game, as long as there were no big mistakes, thank God.
Zhang Yang has been stunned.
In fact, he only listened to one sentence, and the next big list was all ignored.
"I'm going to direct the game?"
"I, Zhang Yang, directing the professional game? Commanding an English Champions League-level match? β
The surprise was a bit too big.
waited until he followed the team out of the aisle and was ready to start the second half of the game, Zhang Yangmuna's nerves relaxed, and he felt the cells in his whole body tremble.
That's excitement?
Is it exciting?
Perhaps, a little nervous!? But no matter what the mood is, Lao Tzu has also become the head coach!
Do you dare to refute?
Even if you are only a temporary team leader, you have the right to be a head coach!
