On the morning of the same day, at the SZ City Stadium, Millwall officially appeared in front of the Chinese fans.

Millwall is in the morning for open training.

The official ticket sales for SZ City Stadium are not cheap, with an average of 300 yuan, but more than 30,000 fans still enter the stadium to watch Millwall practice.

That's still the reason why we didn't catch the holidays.

If it's a holiday, it's hard for fans to grab a ticket, because many people want to see Millwall, they want to see Millwall's stars, and they want to see real publicity.

The flamboyant fame is too great.

Chinese football has always been bad, there are almost no famous stars, I didn't expect a top coach, or a very young coach, Zhang Yang is no longer a football coach in the simple sense, but a top star.

Zhang Yang is not positioned like this, he thinks he is a football coach.

Football coaching is also my job.

Therefore, Zhang Yang only participated in the official press conference, officially met with domestic reporters, and was already in the stadium when he reappeared.

Millwall is conducting normal training.

Although the location is in SZ City, China, not a familiar first-team training ground, but the training content has not changed, Millwall still has to warm up and tactical training, the content is still very boring, in order to make the fans feel that it is worth the 'return ticket', Zhang Yang also arranged about half an hour of free training, players can play freely, can also go to the sidelines to interact with fans.

A morning of training, the effect is not very good.

Many of the players were a little absent-minded, so Zhang Yang simply started 'free training' as soon as possible, and organized the players to do some football games such as 'monkey walking', so that they could really relax.

After the morning session, there was also an interactive session with the fans, with the staff preparing Millwall jerseys for the players to sign.

The number of jerseys is about 300 pieces, and they are to be randomly distributed to fans who come to watch.

Zhang Yang also signed a few names in the past, he didn't expect that the impact was not small, and at noon, he could see the jersey with his signature on the Internet, which was put on the Internet for sale, and the price reached 13,000 yuan, which was a bit incredible.

"That's hype."

Zhang Yang chatted with Pierce, "If a jersey is so valuable, I don't have to be the head coach, I find dozens of jerseys every day to write my name, there is no way to make more money than this." ”

"When the time comes, your signed jersey won't be worth much." Pierce said lightly.

"That's right."

Zhang Yang shrugged his shoulders, thinking that Pierce was very boring, and he didn't know what a joke was.

After lunchtime, the players returned to the hotel to rest for two hours, because of the jet lag, many players did not rest well, they returned to the hotel and immediately fell asleep, and when they woke up again, they had to assemble again.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

All the players re-enter the SZ City Stadium and have a simple warm-up before playing against the SZ club team.

This was the first race of Millwall's 'China Tour'.

SZ club is still very strong, and it has been a strong contender for the Chinese Super League in the past two years, and it belongs to the team that can play China.

That's all.

This result is not bad in domestic football, but compared to Millwall, who has the title of 'Treble', the gap is a bit too big.

Before the start of the game, Zhang Yang met with Wang Hongshan, the head coach of SZ Club, and the two had a polite handshake and conversation.

"With a FIFA coaching certificate, you can get a job in some clubs in Europe, but it's not easy to become a manager, you need to gain the trust of the club."

"Of course, there is enough fame and there will be invitations from many clubs."

Zhang Yang explained a few words.

Wang Hongshan seemed to be just asking, not interested in what he said.

Zhang Yang felt a little helpless, in fact, an old coach like Wang Hongshan is not good at speaking English, let alone other languages, without language ability, it is almost hopeless to get the FIFA A-level coaching certificate.

That's the difference.

For example, most of the coaches in Europe know one or two foreign languages, and they received a lot of education in their early years, and their qualifications are not worse than those of graduates from top universities, among which the representative is Mourinho, before Mourinho became the head coach, he worked as a translator at Barcelona FC, and being able to be a translator can show how strong the language ability is.

Language is the basic way of communication.

If you don't even have the ability to speak, you are closing the path to advancement.

The situation at home is different.

The development time of domestic football is too short, from the opening to the present, it has only been 30 years together, and the vast majority of football coaches, some of whom are better players, but the Chinese football team at that time seems to have nothing to do with foreign countries, and the players do not even have the opportunity to go abroad, plus they have almost no education, so they naturally will not have language skills.

The worse ones are simply turned over from other industries.

For example, some teachers in sports colleges have changed careers to become football coaches.

This situation sounds quite surprising, but it is actually very common, because football coaching can be regarded as a 'new profession' in China, and there are few people who are suitable for football coaching for 1.3 billion people, and many coaching positions are filled by others, and they can be regarded as pure coaches after a few years.

Other professions 'transferred' to become football coaches, all kinds of certificates are issued domestically, there is almost no meaning at all, and the coaching ability can be imagined.

These coaches are not not working hard, they are not qualified at all, and it is impossible to develop any ability.

This is also the reason why there are no good coaches in the country.

There are still stars in China, because stars are easy to cultivate, as long as the qualifications are better, and hard work to play can always have a good kick, and a good coach is more difficult to play than a star, because a coach is not only to play football, but also to have a comprehensive understanding of football, it is best to be a player, and if you want to succeed, it is best to receive a good education, be able to obtain an internationally certified coaching qualification certificate alone, and accept the competition in the coaching industry, and really rely on ability to stand out.

The process is too difficult.

To use an interesting analogy, let students who are qualified to go to schools above 211 graduate from high school to change their careers to play football, and it is best to play football abroad in their careers, and then change careers to coach after retiring, and then rely on excellent team leadership records to stand out from the coaching industry and enter the ranks of the world's top.

Listen to it all, it's like nothing, not reality.

That's what a top coach has been like.

Therefore, it is better to count on the top coaches in China than to count on some excellent stars, with good health and talent, there are still opportunities.

In the flamboyant exclamation, the SZ City Stadium has been filled with fans.

The game is about to begin.

The communication between Zhang Yang and Wang Hongshan is not very harmonious, saying that peers are enemies, even if Wang Hongshan's coaching achievements are very different from Zhang Yang, but it is still a 'rival' relationship, especially when the two teams are going to play, Wang Hongshan still has some provocative meanings in his words, as if he wants to prove that the SZ club has the ability to beat Millwall?

A friendly match of a commercial nature, the first provocation of words, Zhang Yang is also a little incomprehensible.

But it doesn't matter.

Zhang Yang doesn't care at all, and he doesn't care about the game, because it's basically a sure win.

Millwall can't even beat a Chinese Super League team, so they don't have to count on competing for any title.

Of course, there are always surprises in the game.

Zhang Yang has the ability to stop accidents, he doesn't need any accidents, all he needs is a victory, in front of the Chinese fans, to show a strong Millwall.

Finally the game begins.

Zhang Yang did not arrange any tactics, that is, to let the team play freely on the field, and the formation was only lined up with 451, last season's 'double core' play, the difference is that in the starting lineup, all star players appeared.

The stars fans want to see: Jamie Vardy, Braniff, Pire, Livermore, Zambrotta, etc., are all in the starting lineup.

Among the new arrivals at Millwall, only Sneijder started and he formed a two-man midfield with Braniff in a way that allowed Sneijder to adapt, while Morris played as a right midfielder.

Simpson was left on the bench.

Zhang Yang doesn't have an opinion on Simpson, but Simpson is an all-round player, which means that he is not very proficient in 'various positions', he will be an important player in the new season, he will be the 'No. 1 substitute' in the front court, and the fixed position can only be on the right side, Morris is more famous than him, fans want to see Morris, so Morris appeared in the starting lineup.

After all, this is an exhibition game of a commercial nature.

After the start of the game, it can be noticed that the SZ team played very actively, they fought all over the field, actively organized the attack, and in the third to sixth minutes, they also played continuous offensives, suppressing Millwall for a while, and also making the SZ fans who came to the scene shout excitedly.

That's the mentality of the fans.

Although Zhang Yang is very popular, after all, he is coaching a European team, Millwall is an English team, and fans want to see top stars, but also hope that local teams can beat the visiting Millwall.

It's not surprising that fans have this idea, but it's a bit whimsical, because the gap between the two sides is really a bit big, it's like an adult and a child fighting.

When the SZ offensive was over, Millwall immediately got serious.

Morris, Braniff and Zambrotta, the three of them did not stop the ball on the right side, continued to cooperate with the inverted foot, and quickly sent the ball to the right foot in the penalty area.

Then Morris crosses from outside the box.

The ball flew high into the middle of the box and Vardy burst out of the pile to head the ball to the left of the box, where Pire followed up and slotted straight into goal.

In the next second, the football appeared in the goal of the SZ team.
