In the manager's office.

Zhang Yang, Aldous and Frederick had a small meeting together to discuss the next training arrangements.

Zhang Yang's decision was, "We have to be ready for the game against Wigan. ”

With only three days between the 36th and 37th rounds of the Championship, it will be difficult to have time to train against Wigan Athletic after the match against Leeds United, and training will have to be scheduled in advance.

Aldous didn't have much of an opinion.

Since taking up the role of assistant coach of the first team, Aldous has been sticking to his job and never objecting to his advice, he just goes to implement it and do his job well.

Frederick was a little worried about the Leeds game, "If we're going to play Wigan, there's no guarantee for the next game. ”

"I'm sure the team will win!"

Zhang Yang said affirmatively.

This statement is based on confidence, Millwall has never been worried about playing against teams in the same class, and with the current morale of the team, as long as there are no major surprises, it is not difficult to win.

Wigan Athletic is different.

Wigan Athletic can be ranked first in the league and must be a better opponent than Millwall, and in a head-to-head collision at the opponent's home stadium, Millwall have few chances of winning.

The last time the two teams met was 0-3, with Millwall also losing by three goals at Neil Stadium.

You can imagine how difficult this one is.

Even if Zhang Yang had the means to change the game, there was no guarantee that the team would win.

Frederick stopped talking.

After a little time together, Frederick also knew a little about Zhang Yang, at least he knew what Zhang Yang decided, and he couldn't persuade him to change his mind.

The three of them talked for an hour.

Aldous and Frederick talked about the problems with training and the training that must be guaranteed on a regular basis, and based on what the two said, Zhang Yang finally finalized the training schedule for the next few days.

After the small meeting, the three of them went to the training ground together, and met Ebenezer on the way.

When Ebenezer saw Zhang Yang, he immediately shouted, "Hey, Zhang, I watched your commentary the night before yesterday, it was wonderful!" ”

Aldous laughed, "It's really exciting, and I've been thinking that the biggest star of the team is probably Zhang." ”

Frederick was a little jealous and didn't speak.

"Thank you!"

Zhang Yang politely thanked him.

Ebenezer paused and asked, "Didn't the BBC invite you to the next commentary?" I mean, didn't they consider poaching you to be a narrator? I think you have a great future as a narrator. ”

Zhang Yang shrugged, "I still like the work of the head coach. ”

"That's great!" Ebenezer patted him on the shoulder and said, "I wish I heard you say that, I've been worried about whether you're going to quit all of a sudden." ”

"Your worries are unnecessary."

Ebenezer walked towards the office building with a smile, he was not casually ridiculing just now, but he was really a little worried, Zhang Yang did not sign a standard head coach contract, there was no liquidated damages in the contract, but a supplementary clause was added to the original contract, the salary was raised, and there was a provision that 'if the head coach's job is dismissed, the supplementary clause will be invalid'.

This contract is not binding at all.

If Zhang Yang finds a job he likes, he can leave Millwall, or at least step down as head coach, without worrying about legal issues involved.

In addition, the key point is that the BBC's commentary salary is not necessarily lower than the salary Zhang Yang gets, and perhaps the BBC will offer a higher salary, such as Gary Lineker, who can be more than 8,000 pounds a week, if you consider the salary, the choice to change jobs is normal.

Ebenezer was really a little worried, but fortunately, Zhang Yang still worked very hard, and it was clear that he could come so early.

Millwall's training ground is back alive.

After the whole team was assembled, the players couldn't help but talk about it, and their topics were all Zhang Yang's commentary as a BBC guest, which was really gossipy.

Many players were shocked in their hearts.

In the previous team, many players felt that Zhang Yang relied on luck to serve as the head coach of Millwall, no matter whether the results of leading the team were good or not, his ability to lead the team was strong or not, at least he was a 'high climbing' job as the head coach.

Now they have a change of mind.

They found that Zhang Yang was a guest on the BBC, and his performance was perfect, and he also replaced Lineker's commentary work halfway through, and acted as the narrator who controlled the words.

What would happen if Zhang Yang went to work as a commentator?

That would be very promising.

A lot of the players have changed their minds.

Zhang Yang can find a promising job without being a football coach, and it is the BBC, one of the largest television media in the United Kingdom, and going to the BBC as a commentator is actually the same as being a star.

Therefore, they feel that Zhang Yang's appointment as the head coach of Millwall is not relying on luck to climb the 'head coach position', but just liking the work of the head coach and being qualified for this job.

Or was Millwall lucky enough to hire Zhang Yang as head coach?

Anyway, things have changed.

This change in perception will make people feel very shocking, so everyone is constantly discussing.

Zhang Yang walked to the team, he glanced at the players, looked at Aldous, Aldous counted the number of people, nodded and said, "Twenty-six, everyone is here." ”

"Twenty-six? How can there be one more? ”

Zhang Yang was a little puzzled.

Aldous smiled wryly, "Braniff is back!" ”

Zhang Yang looked at the figure in the corner and suddenly realized, he smiled and coughed lightly twice, got rid of the embarrassment of forgetting the players, and said to everyone, "The first big thing today is to welcome Braniff's return to the team!" ”

Braniff raised his head a little surprised, he didn't expect this 'damned' young Chinese to remember himself.

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Every player will make mistakes, every team will have players make mistakes, think about it carefully, it's nothing, there is a saying in China, 'knowing mistakes can be corrected, good is great', as long as you correct mistakes, you are taking a step forward, it is the progress of a person's development." ”

"So here, let's welcome Braniff back to our community!"

Zhang Yang took the lead in applauding after saying it simply.

Others applauded.

In the past period, Braniff's life has not been good, he is just a Championship level player, not very popular among the fan base, when Millwall is not good, he can still stand up and say a few words, blame the new manager's ability, but when Millwall is good, those reporters who are eager to interview him have disappeared without a trace.

Two weeks ago, Braniff encountered the most embarrassing thing, he went to Neil Stadium to watch the game, bought ordinary tickets, sat with ordinary fans, and thought that he would encounter the trouble of being 'harassed' by fans, but the whole game, including the appearance and entry of the stadium, was not recognized by a single fan.

Millwall won the game, but Braniff felt like he had lost everything.

He found the crisis!

If he continues like this, he will become the most marginal player, but when it comes to the summer transfer, will any club be willing to ask for him?

Maybe.

But the contract he can get is definitely much worse than now!

Braniff began to 'repent', he found that he couldn't make a statement, so he had to choose to wait silently, he trained on time, and no longer complained to others, and after half a month of good performance, he finally returned to the first team.

Now seeing Zhang Yang take the lead to welcome him, Braniff felt a little surprised, and also exhaled a long breath, he didn't want to admit it, but in fact he was a little afraid of Zhang Yang, as for any 'mistakes can be corrected', Braniff automatically blocked, he just wanted to stay quietly in the first team.

Braniff's return was just an 'accidental' episode.

After that, Zhang Yang talked about the 'established plan', "From today on, we will get nervous again, you all know the next opponents we are going to face, Leeds United, Wigan Athletic, I don't want to put pressure on you, but my plan is to win these two games!" ”

The players stopped talking.

Leeds United is better to say, it's not a big deal to win, Wigan Athletic?

That's the first place in the league!

"I know what you're all thinking! Wigan Athletic? That's a strong team! But we're not weak, and Wigan Athletic haven't been any better than us in the last three months. We're a strong team now, at least in the Championship. ”

'Beating Wigan Athletic is our goal. Like I said before, to win the next four games in a row, now we're halfway there, and we're almost done what a lot of people find unattainable. So this goal is not a big deal! ”

'You don't have to think about whether you can win or not, that's my job with the coaching staff. You just need to be mentally ready to cope with training and competitions! ”

"Then now, disband!"

"Start training!"

With the shouts of flamboyance, the entire squad was disbanded and Millwall re-entered the intense preparations.
