Chapter 112: A Familiar Opponent
The UK has a well-developed media industry and a well-developed internal system, with the Press Complaints Council (CPRC), the national press arbitration body for the UK newspaper industry, which deals with complaints from newspaper media.
Founded in 1991, the Press Complaints Commission (CPC) was founded in 1953 and is one of the most representative self-regulatory organizations in the world.
The British Press Complaints Commission (CPC) is tasked with dealing with public complaints about the content of British newspapers and magazines by means of conciliation.
If the mediation is unsuccessful, the complaint will be investigated and adjudicated.
With so many complaints from fans in the Wolfhampton area, there is certainly no way to reconcile them, and the Press Complaints Commission has a lot of experience in dealing with complaints like 'untruthful'.
They analysed the content of the complaint.
They then analysed several targeted articles to identify possible 'untrue' and 'emotional' content.
People in the media industry are very experienced, and most of the reports they make on individuals do not say with certainty that they are not capable, 'this club must be not doing well', etc., they analyze and report on various situations, and it is almost 'these reasons support the publication of this opinion'.
There's nothing wrong with that.
In the media industry, there are many similar reports, such as writing an article that analyzes the future situation of a team, they can analyze it from all aspects of the club's funds, squad composition, head coaching history, etc., and no matter how you read it, it will not feel unreal, because what is determined in it is true.
It's like flamboyance.
He certainly has no coaching experience.
He's young.
Then he leads Millwall, and it will be difficult to play well.
The cause and effect of the matter is clear, and there will be no mistake in how to analyze it, as for Zhang Yang's good results in leading the team, it can be attributed to many reasons, and the media does not have to pay for the analysis and report of 'inaccurate judgment'.
Therefore, most of the investigations of the British Press Complaints Commission are just a formality, as long as they do not involve direct misleading remarks, they have a fixed set of methods to deal with them.
By the evening of the next day, the ruling document was published on the official website.
The ruling document is roughly about the incident, the reports and articles involved, and the people involved.
Zhang Yang must be in it, but it has nothing to do with him.
The results of the ruling were announced: fines and rectifications.
Fines, as the name suggests, are those received by the English Football Newspaper and the London Sports News.
Football News received a more serious fine, amounting to £3,200.
London Sports News also has a thousand pounds.
This level of fine, for two medium-sized media outlets, is exactly the same as nothing.
The rectification is not as serious as it seems, and it is said that the British Football Newspaper and the London Sports News will revise the content of the previous report, preferably delete it directly, and apologize to the Millwall club, Zhang Yang and the complainant Wolfhampton fans in the open page.
This was simply unacceptable to Football Newspaper and London Sport News, and they appealed at the time, and under normal circumstances, after the appeal the matter dragged on until the complainant had forgotten about it.
The British Press Complaints Commission will not continue to deal with it quickly, they just make a ruling and give an account to the fans who complained.
That's pretty much the end of it.
Zhang Yang was happy to see that the media criticizing him was in trouble, especially the trouble found by the opposing fans, and it sounded very pleasant, but he just smiled when he saw the news, and continued to devote himself to training.
After the game against Wolves and seeing the team's performance at its best, Zhang Yang knew one thing even better: nothing is more important than training!
There are many famous football coaches in the world, their coaching careers are quite successful, and they can also create the miracle of leading the small club to win the Grand Prix.
So what is the ability to lead a team?
A general question, but it is very simple when you think about it, on the one hand, it is excellent training ability, whether it is daily training or tactical training, so that the team can play better in the game, which is the ultimate goal.
One is the ability to command on the spot.
Zhang Yang thought about it carefully and found that the difference between him and the 'top coach' in terms of leading the team was the training ability, because the on-the-spot command is not very important, and with the ability related to the prophecy, his on-the-spot command must have no problem.
Then what he needs to strengthen is the ability to lead the team in training.
How to train the whole team, how to plan the tactical training of the whole team, are very brainy, very complex system work, whenever the team is training, Zhang Yang is trying to do it, while still in the process of learning.
But Millwall's training wasn't bad either.
With experienced Frederick, Aldous with the ability to do the whole thing, and two assistant coaches to assist in the training work, Zhang Yang only needs to work out the general direction, and the details are easy to perfect.
Zhang Yang is very serious about training.
In the daily training arrangement, every extra item is a decision made by him after consulting various information, thinking about it carefully, and calling Wise and even Reg Knapp for advice.
Zhang Yang put in ten times the effort of other coaches.
In the eyes of other coaches, a very normal training, Zhang Yang has to think about it for a long time before deciding.
It's not indecision, it's a lack of understanding of training, after all, he's not like other coaches, he has so much coaching experience as a foundation, he almost crossed the line to become a head coach, and if you want to keep up, you have to put in more effort.
So the decisions in every training session are tough, and every day of tactical training is time-consuming and laborious.
But it worked.
In terms of training for the whole team, Zhang Yang is improving at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and when it comes to Christmas, he was still a rookie, and now he is almost at the beginning, and occasionally makes others look the other way.
The whole team is also discussing Zhang Yang.
Many players feel that Zhang Yang will not interfere in training, and when Zhang Yang does that, they feel that it is incorrect, but after a while, they find that Zhang Yang's training is no worse than that of Frederick and Aldous, and occasionally there will be interesting training methods.
It's the same with tactical training.
Zhang Yang is in charge of the overall situation, and all the relevant training is arranged properly, just being able to do a good job of arranging the work is already very remarkable, so that everyone has a feeling of 'Zhang Yang knows a lot, and the training work can be done very well', and his prestige in the team has been greatly improved.
In training life, time flies.
February is here.
Millwall's first game in February was against Queens Park Rangers in the London Region.
It's a somewhat familiar opponent.
Before choosing to come to Millwall, the opposing coach Bridges had invited him to work at the Queens Park Rangers club, but after Zhang Yang went with Andy, he found that Bridges's promise had not been fulfilled, and signing the agreement was too unfavorable for him.
After that, Zhang Yang chose to come to Millwall.
Now that Zhang Yang has become the head coach of Millwall, he led the team to the game against Queens Park Rangers, which is quite a wonderful feeling.
Bridges felt even more wonderful.
As early as Christmas, Bridges noticed that Millwall had changed managers, and the new head coach was the young Chinese he had invited before, and the other party did not agree to come to Queen's Park for a parade, but Bridges also understood and he also felt regretful.
When she first invited Zhang Yang, Bridges thought she could decide something, and giving a new employee £5,000 a week was not a big deal, five pounds sounds like a lot, but for a Championship club, it is nothing more than an addition of one and a half main players.
What's the big deal?
But when the president of the club at that time, Paradini, heard this, and immediately objected, and his exact words were, "Our economic situation is not good enough to pay an unknown Asian!" ”
Bridges was annoyed.
But he couldn't screw the president of the club, and in the end it was manager Clark who came in, balanced the two sides, and decided to give a 'temporary contract', which only gave a minimum salary, and only the number of victories was awarded.
Zhang Yang, of course, would not agree to such a contract.
The two sides broke up.
At Christmas, Zhang Yang was the manager of Millwall, and Bridges had something to say, and when he saw Paradini, he said, "See? The young man we didn't sign at the time is now the manager of Millwall! ”
Paladini was upset to hear it.
Queens Park Rangers Club has an awkward problem: the president of the club and the head coach of the club are at odds.
The two can't be said to be on the same page, but it's about the same, and even some outside media know that as long as there are no big surprises, Bridges will definitely leave Queens Park Rangers at the end of the season.
