Wise thought about it for two days, he knew that Zhang Yang couldn't deceive himself, but for such a major decision, he would also do some investigation, and the result was naturally as Zhang Yang said, and he then discussed it with his wife.

For Wise, giving up football is tough.

Football has been a part of life for as long as he can remember, with Wise starting out in football school and subsequently becoming a prodigy, breaking into Southampton's youth team.

At the age of 18, he turned professional and was promoted to Southampton's first team before deciding to move to Wimbledon following the departure of manager Mamenie.

Six years later, Wise moved to Chelsea for £1.6 million, a record transfer fee for Chelsea.

Wise's illustrious career came at Chelsea, where he spent ten seasons winning the FA Cup, League Cup, European Cup Winners' Cup, UEFA Super Cup and was voted England Footballer of the Year in 1997.

At a later age, Wise was sold to Leicester City by Ranieri before moving to Millwall.

Looking back on the past two decades, Wise has been fighting for the game, both as a player and as a coach, and he has never left the game.

Now, are you leaving?

Eventually, Wise agreed, and his wife said to him, "You've given football all your life, but what do you get?" You've been successful before, but you're not fit to be a coach! ”

"I believe Zhang, he won't lie to you, being his assistant is a stable job, if it really doesn't work, you can become a coach again."

The latter sentence convinced Wise.

Zhang Yang invited him to be his assistant, just a job, not tied for a lifetime, if you don't like it, have no potential, or want to do coaching work, you can also choose to leave in the future.

When Zhang Yang received a call from Wise, he was preparing to lead the team to the League Cup.

"We'll talk about it after the game!" Zhang Yang gave an affirmative answer.

Round 4 of the League Cup.

Millwall travel to Sheffield United.

Although Millwall is away, the two sides are not on the same level, Zhang Yang sent most of the substitutes, and the forward partners are Suarez and Weston, the game proved that it is difficult for the two to play on weekdays, but compared to the level of the second league, it is still a lot higher.

Suarez and Weston, technically, are not a good partner, because the ability is too repetitive, they both belong to the players who play the second striker, but the two are still very sharp in front, and the first goal was scored by Suarez and Weston.

It was on the penalty line.

Suarez received a pass and turned his back to break through, but actually passed the ball to the left, and Weston followed up with a direct shot to help Millwall score the first goal.

Just before half-time, Ljungberg scored an overhead goal to make it 2-0.

When the time came to the second half, Zhang Yang chose to make another substitution, Gary O'Neal and Barragan came on, and Simpson and Zambrotta were replaced.

Millwall were basically bench lineups.

But the bench was not something Sheffield United could handle, and the next 40 minutes became Millwall's show.

O'Neal, Maxi and Suarez, each scored a goal.

The score was set at 0-5.

Millwall beat Sheffield United by a big margin away to secure a ticket to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.

After the victory over Sheffield United, Zhang Yang led the team back to London, only to remember to call Wise back, he simply said, "Come directly to my company tomorrow!" ”

"Your company?"

"Zhang's Investment!"

Zhang Yang said an address.

At noon the next day, Zhang Yang went to the company's residence and waited for Wise. Almost

Wise was dressed in a neat suit and dressed very formally, and when he entered the door, he realized that it didn't make much sense.

Zhang's investment, the core members all went to the United States, and there were only two people left in the station, one was the old employee Shaq, who was promoted to manager, and the other was the new legal counsel, plus Zhang Yang, there were only three people in total.

Wise glanced at the door several times, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Your company...... It's huge! ”

"Thank you!"

Zhang Yang didn't care at all, and took the initiative to introduce Wise to the other two.

Then we get to the topic.

Zhang Yang asked Shaq to bring the prepared contract, Wise looked at it carefully, his expression was quite surprised, "This contract?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled and nodded.

The contract prepared by Zhang Yang is quite generous, and the annual salary stipulated in the basic salary has reached 300,000 pounds, with an average weekly salary of more than 6,000 pounds, which is definitely no worse than the work of an assistant coach.

In addition to this...... There is nothing else.

Zhang Yang didn't want to put bonuses and the like into the contract, just like Andy, the two initially signed an agent agreement, but the agreement expired and was not renewed, and Andy kept running around.

Money, for sure, will not be less.

If it's all put into the contract, the job content is fixed.

Zhang Yang needs to be an assistant who can 'do anything' and 'can be trusted', not an employee in a certain position, otherwise he wouldn't need to look for Wise.

Still, it's enough.

The salary was the most important thing, Wise glanced at it, made sure there was nothing else, and happily signed his name.

From this moment on, he became Zhang Yang's assistant.

Then he received his first job assignment: to help Zhang Yang move.

"You're moving?"

Zhang Yang nodded, "It just so happens that this afternoon, the team is training normally, but I need manpower." He turned his head to look at Shaq, "There's no business anyway, just close the door, go to my house, there are a lot of things to help with." ”

Moving is a lot of work.

Zhang Yang has lived in his small building for two years, and in the past two years, everything in the small building and every room has been almost full.

Some things can be thrown away, and most of them will be kept.

Since the morning, the family has been busy, several nannies and bodyguards have helped to clean up things, Zhang Yang and a few people from Wise, when they came over, there were still many things that had not been cleaned up.

Some things need to be cleaned up by yourself, and some others can help.

After a long time of work, the group finally loaded everything into the car, and Zhang Yang let out a long breath and invited Wise to his new house.

Beers Avenue is half of the rich area, but it is more lively than the nearby Kensington Palace Garden Road, because most of the houses in the neighborhood are inhabited, and the real 'rich' are gathered, Kensington Palace Garden is the 'nominally' rich area, most of the rents are vacant for a long time, and there are more tourists than residents on the street.

Wise didn't expect that Zhang Yang's new home was here, and he was quite surprised.

Wise used to be a big star, and he also received a lot of salary after retiring, but to put it bluntly, there is still a gap between him and the 'rich'.

Many active professional players, a little more famous, can easily squeeze into the ranks of the rich, Wise is definitely the top among the players, but unfortunately, he is only a balloon star, especially embarrassing, when at the peak of his career, football has not yet developed so commercially.

In the era when Wise became famous, it was unthinkable that professional players could get a million annual salaries.

Up to now, when talking about the word "star", the annual salary is 1 million, and the money accumulated in Wise's bank account is not as good as the annual income of some stars.

That's where the embarrassment comes in.

In fact, the situation is similar to that in China, the older generation of people have accumulated a lifetime of savings, which may not be enough for ordinary young people to earn for a year, and the inflation in the UK has not been so big for decades, but the commercial development of football has definitely increased several times, more than ten times.

Several times, more than ten times the increase, which means that the player's salary has increased significantly, and Wise was a star ten years ago, so his income is naturally very embarrassing.

In short, Wise is not a rich man.

Now seeing that Zhang Yang can move into a wealthy area and own a manor-level villa that he can't even think of, Wise is quite envious in his heart, and at the same time, he also has a lot of confidence in his new job.

ZHANG YANG DIDN'T LEAVE ANY GUESTS THAT DAY, SO HE MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO WAIT FOR IT TO BE CLEANED UP AND FIND A SUITABLE TIME TO HOLD A SMALL PATTY.

Then I went back to coaching.

Millwall is about to usher in the fourth match of Group C of the Champions League, and Zhang Yang led the team to Rome, the capital of Italy, by plane.

Rome is a romantic city.

It's not the first time Zhang Yang has been here, but whether it was last year or now, he didn't feel romantic, the only feeling was, "The fans here are crazy." ”

Roma fans are not very friendly, and Lazio fans can be described as 'hostile'.

When they got off the plane, they were greeted by thousands of Lazio fans, who did not come to welcome Millwall, but to 'scare' the Millwall players with all kinds of intimidating and abusive shouts.

When you settle into the booked hotel, the surrounding area is full of fan shouts, accompanied by the almost non-stop sound of fireworks.

It's all a means of Lazio fans.

Lazio fans just want to influence Millwall, using all kinds of means to prevent them from resting well, so as to affect the next day's game.

It's a clear plan.

The plan is above board, and the other party is going to do this, without any cover-up.

The whole Millwall team knew what the Lazio fans were going to do, but they were still annoyed, and Zhang Yang told everyone, "What they do, it's their business." We need to rest well, don't think too much, it's useless to be angry with them. ”

"If you go to the police, the police are biased towards the fans."

"That doesn't make sense."

"All we have to do is get rested, and if you're angry, tomorrow, on the field, it's time to vent!"

The flamboyant statement has made many players look forward to tomorrow's game.

Zhang Yang didn't want to swallow his anger.

The fans' methods are very straightforward, but they do affect the rest of the team, and he can't stand up to the fans, but he can't help but say to reporters, "I came here last year and had to play against Roma, but it definitely didn't feel as bad as it is now. ”

'The Roma fans are not friendly, but they are much more qualified, and they at least think the game should be fair.

"Lazio fans?"

"I now kind of understand why Lazio can't play Roma all the time. They may be complacent that their fans can influence their opponents, but football is a contest on the field, not off the field. ”

"Tomorrow, they will know how bad it will be if they provoke their opponents!"
