Cruise Durant Estate, located in the western part of London, is one of the properties of the British royal family, and was also used as the residence of the crown prince a few decades ago, the famous Prince Charles, who lived here for nearly two decades.

In the past decade, under pressure from the outside world, the British royal family has been carrying out internal reforms, and with the sharp reduction in income, some royal properties have been divided into royal family members for privatization.

In 1999, the Cruise Durant estate was assigned to Prince Charles.

Last year, the estate changed hands.

It was an interesting thing: eight years after Princess Diana's death, Prince Charles decided to marry Camilla, the 'third party'.

This caused public outrage in the UK!

Prince Charles and Camilla have been 'stealing' for decades, but they want to really be together, and they have also encountered a lot of opposition, the British royal family can't resist Prince Charles, and finally agreed to the marriage, but the marriage between the two was not approved by the British Pope, so Camilla was never a princess, after the wedding, the princess was still the deceased Diana, and Camilla was called Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cornwall.

Camilla and Charles' registration at Windsor City Hall was only followed by more than 7 million people, and the marriage to Diana and Charles received 700 million people's attention, which is completely incomparable.

The marriage of Camilla and Charles is also considered a disgrace to the British royal family.

Queen Elizabeth was very dissatisfied with her son's decision, and some of the properties in Prince Charles's name were repossessed by the British royal family and given to others, Cruise Durant Estate is one of them, and its new owner is Prince Charles's son, Prince William.

Prince William is a prince who is very close to the commoners, and he married the commoner princess Kate, and has been blessed by tens of millions of people.

Prince William is also fond of football, serving as the nominal vice-president of the FA and occasionally attending some award ceremonies.

The Crews Durant Manor, which Prince William offered to provide to the FA as a venue for events, will not live there, the Manor is usually idle, and the FA has also provided some funds to maintain the normal operation of the Manor.

This is very helpful for Prince William.

The princes of the British royal family are not as rich as the 'Saudi princes', their living expenses are very large, and the treatment they enjoy from taxpayers is also decreasing, and the British royal family always needs a large amount of money to maintain its operations, and the crown prince does not get much money every year, not to mention that a prince can get a sum of money to maintain the operation of the 'estate that is impossible to lease out', which can be regarded as alleviating the financial pressure.

The cocktail party held by Cruise Durant Manor can be imagined, with a large number of participants, not only coaches and chairmen of the Premier League and the Championship, but also English players and famous seniors in the football world, and the FA also invited many second-tier and third-tier actresses to liven up the atmosphere.

In this reception, ordinary Premier League managers have really become 'ordinary people', they are just members of the party, and the people who attract attention are big shots.

Football celebrities aside, current players and coaches must also be top-notch figures, such as Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho, and England captain David Beckham and England coach Eriksen and so on.

When Zhang Yang drove into the manor, Redknapp and Wenger were chatting in the parking lot, and there were a few people next to them, who seemed to be the FA officials who received them, saw the car with the Millwall logo, Redknapp immediately walked over and greeted him with a smile, "It seems that an old friend is here." ”

Redknapp thought it was Gligory, but when he walked in, he realized that it was Zhang Yang who got out of the car.

"Mr. Redknapp." Zhang Yang politely said hello.

Redknapp laughed and asked, "Why did you drive such a car?" It's the club's official car, right? ”

"I don't have the money to buy a car!"

Zhang Yang sighed and said, which made the few people who came over laugh, and Wenger quipped, "Why don't you come to Arsenal to help me?" We're sure you'll have the money to buy a car. ”

"Thank you! I'll think about it. ”

A few people laughed and walked to the castle together, the main hall of the castle was very lively, there were dozens of people from a distance, divided into several small groups chatting, Zhang Yang noticed Mourinho, the Portuguese stood in front of the door, Wenger greeted Mourinho, "Why don't you go in?" ”

Mourinho looked at Wenger, and immediately saw Zhang Yang, his face turned dark, but he still couldn't help but say with difficulty, "It's still being arranged inside." ”

Zhang Yang glanced inside.

There were a few staff members who were busy setting up tables and chairs, food and drinks, and the scene inside the decorator, facing the edge of the door, was laughing and talking, and one could be recognisable as Prince William, FA president Jove Thompson and Chelsea chairman Roman Abramovich.

"They're all big shots!"

Zhang Yang sighed, and was about to stand outside the door, waiting for the official start of the drinking party before entering, but he didn't expect a middle-aged man to come out of it and greet him warmly, "You are Zhang, right?" Come in and talk, Joff would love to get to know you. ”

Jove Thompson is the president of the FA.

Zhang Yang glanced left and right, and simply walked in without refusing, several people inside looked over, everyone had a smile on their faces, but it was not Thompson who spoke first, but Chelsea President Abramovich, "You are Zhang, the first time we meet, you can call me Roman." ”

"You're so polite." Zhang Yang didn't know what to call for a while, 'Mr. Abramovich' was a bit too long, and 'Roman' was a little disrespectful, and then he said the strange name, "Mr. Abu." ”

"Mr. Abu?" Abramovich was stunned for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, "It's the first time someone has called me that, but I feel very kind." ”

Several people next to him laughed.

Zhang Yang was a little embarrassed, and several people around him looked at him, as if he had become a guinea pig to be studied, and before he could say anything, Abramovich said, "Actually, I'm more interested in you." ”

"Oh?"

"I watched the last game and you were very good at beating Jose."

"Thank you."

"Don't be inhibited." Prince William interjected, "Roman is a very kind person. ”

Zhang Yang pulled the corners of his mouth.

Abramovich is kind? Even if the two have never met, a Russian oligarch, when he listens to it, feels full of politics-politics and 'blood-blood', how can it not be associated with kindness?

Next, Jove Thompson took the initiative to introduce Zhang Yang, and briefly got to know a few people around him, others were better, Abramovich was very interested in Zhang Yang, while others were chatting, he took the initiative to pull Zhang Yang away, and talked about the last game, "You performed very well, scored three goals in ten minutes, I didn't expect Chelsea to lose the game, can you tell me how you did it?" ”

"Just a gamble. In the first half we were behind, in the second half we had to score. Zhang Yang explained simply.

'But not everybody, every coach has that kind of courage, I mean keep attacking until you score three goals, it's a miracle, I think so. As far as I know, Millwall is a small club and I'm not interested, but you beat Chelsea. Abramovich kept saying before suddenly asking, 'What do you think of Chelsea?' ”

"What do you think? ...... you mean? ”

Zhang Yang was a little puzzled.

"It's my question that's too general." Abramovich continued: 'In the Champions League, for example, I always wanted Chelsea to win the title. ”

"It's hard."

Zhang Yang thought for a while and said, "I remember last season, Chelsea's results were good, but after losing to Liverpool in the semi-finals, this season is even more difficult, the Champions League is a difficult field, and it is not easy for Chelsea to beat Barcelona. ”

If the memory of the past life is not wrong, Chelsea will fall directly to the round of 16 and be successfully 'revenged' by Barcelona.

Abramovich nodded, staggered the question, and continued, "Can you comment on our transfer?" I've seen a lot of media reports that you think Jose doesn't have a lot of vision and buys useless players? ”

“……”

Zhang Yang was a little embarrassed, it was a war of words with Mourinho, in front of Chelsea's financiers, it was a little awkward to be directly proposed, but he didn't want to apologize, but said bluntly, "It may be rude to say this, but in the past two summers, most of the players Chelsea bought have been useless." ”

Abramovich still nodded and asked thoughtfully, 'So, if you were a Chelsea manager, what would your transfer strategy be?' ”

"Me? I couldn't possibly ......."

"Don't rush to say no. I mean, if, to use an analogy, you're still so young and you might cross paths with Chelsea in the future, who can say for sure what the future holds? ”

“……”

No one can say clearly in the future, but Zhang Yang thought about it for a while, when the club gives enough financial support, what will be the transfer strategy at that time?

"Try to buy the stars you want!"

"What you want?"

"Yes, I want it." Zhang Yang said, "The development of each player is different, some players are very famous, but after the transfer, they may not perform well, which makes it a personal vision." ”

Zhang Yang didn't give a direct answer, and he didn't know how to answer in a short time, with enough financial support from the club, he could only say that he tried to buy the stars he wanted.

What else can be done?

From this point of view, Chelsea's transfer strategy is correct, as long as there are enough stars, the strength of the team will naturally increase, and the performance will naturally be much better.

Zhang Yang just dealt with it vaguely, but he didn't expect Abramovich to smile approvingly, "I like what you said." ”

"Thank you."

The two said a few words, Zhang Yang apologized, and left and walked out the door.

He couldn't wait.

As the manager of Millwall, it always feels weird to stay with the president of Chelsea Football Club, and there are a lot of 'surprised' eyes outside the door, but fortunately reporters are not allowed to enter here, otherwise there will be media reports that day that "Abramovich may consider letting Zhang Yang replace Mourinho to take over Chelsea", and then he and Mourinho will not only be league rivals, but also job rivals.

Zhang Yang walked out and found Arsene Wenger.

In English football circles, they are the 'same camp', just like now, the various camps are clearly divided, Ferguson and Mourinho each have a camp, and Wenger's 'neutral faction' has a camp.

The players and officials who came here were much simpler, they could talk to anyone, such as Beckham, who has attracted much attention, can talk to people wherever he goes, and even Ferguson, who has a grudge, smiled and talked to Beckham.

"This is a heartthrob!" Zhang Yang sighed.

Beckham's popularity is indeed very good, he is very polite to everyone, no matter what he thinks in his heart, showing that the kung fu must be in place.

When passing by the 'neutral faction' coaching group, Beckham greeted Wenger and even nodded at Zhang Yang, which made Zhang Yang's favor even stronger.

The two definitely don't know each other!

In other words, Zhang Yang knows Beckham, Beckham doesn't know him, and he will suddenly nod to him, which is similar to the meaning of greeting, which makes people feel very good.

Zhang Yang looked at Beckham, who was talking and laughing in the crowd, and suddenly thought of 'What will happen to Beckham when he comes to Millwall'?

Of course it can't be.

First of all, Millwall can't afford to pay Beckham's salary, his salary alone can top five or six of Millwall's main players, and three Beckham's salary is higher than Millwall's entire team.

It's impossible for such a star to go to a small club, but it's not illegal to think about it, if David Beckham comes to Millwall...... However, his form should be declining, after all, he has reached a certain age.

But......?

Zhang Yang suddenly thought of a question: For a top star like Beckham, the biggest obstacle to maintaining his condition is the decline of his body, and the slow growth of age will make his physical fitness, explosiveness, speed, etc. decline in an all-round way.

With enough stamina, will there be a gain in other physical abilities?

Physical fitness, a single attribute, is actually directly linked to physical condition, and if the physical condition is improved, the overall ability of the body will be improved, so will the explosive power, speed, etc., continue to be maintained?

Zhang Yang frowned.

He hadn't thought of this problem before, but the human body is a whole, and physical fitness is only an external performance, which is the basic exercise ability of the human body through strength, speed, endurance, coordination, flexibility, agility and other sports qualities.

Physical improvement means the improvement of physical ability.

Then in order to pursue balance in the human body, other aspects will definitely be improved...... But if it can really improve as a whole, it is equivalent to making a player's physical ability reach a higher level, and maybe it can be used on ordinary players, and it can also produce a little effect.

"IS THIS A BUG IN THE SYSTEM?"

Zhang Yang pondered.
