Chapter 526: New Abilities and Goals
Wise's statement to Zhang Yang was 'not well thought out', but Zhang Yang could tell that he had already decided to leave.
Hesitation is tantamount to decision.
Maybe Wise hasn't made all the mental preparations, after all, he is officially the manager, and Leicester City is also a Championship-level team, so the pressure is still not small.
It's not the same as coaching Millwall.
When he was in charge of Millwall, Wise was not an official head coach, he was just an interim manager and a signed player who would help the team play.
In this case, it doesn't matter if he leads the team to a poor score, because he is only 'part-time' as the head coach.
No one can expect that a professional player and a manager can do just as well Millwall can be relegated, and the club's expectations are the same, Wise can lead the team to save a lot of salary expenses, and the club can continue to stay in the Championship, even if it ends up finishing fourth from the bottom of the league, the club can accept it.
It's not the same to go to Leicester City now.
Wise will become the official head coach, leading the team to relegation, will definitely not be satisfactory to the club, he must lead the team to play well, even if the first season of coaching, can not let the club be promoted, the ranking must be high, in order to stabilize the position of head coach.
Otherwise, it is tantamount to failure.
Wise hesitated about this, he was about to face a lot of pressure, but not refusing also means that he was mentally prepared, maybe he thought he should seek to become a head coach, after all, that was his first choice after retiring, and it was not bad to be a flamboyant assistant, but certainly not to become a head coach.
Salary, however, is secondary.
Leicester City offered Wise a contract with an annual salary of only around £800,000.
Staying at Millwall as an assistant coach can also get about 500,000 pounds, plus the team's good results, the club will pay some bonuses, and the salary is not much worse in comparison.
Wise is going to pursue his dreams.
Zhang Yang felt that it was a pity for Wise to leave, because Wise's assistant coach work was still very qualified, Wise used to be a big star, and Frederick and Aldous all belonged to the 'academy' coach, Aldous couldn't even be called 'academic', he was transferred from club management to assistant coach.
Zhang Yang has not yet obtained the UEFA B-level coaching certificate, and no one will recognize it if he is an 'academy' coach.
The coaching team of Zhang Yang, Frederick and Aldous lacks a coach with star experience.
After Wise leaves, he has to find a replacement.
This adds to the workload of summer transfers.
After talking to Wise for a few words, Zhang Yang still gave Wise his blessings, thinking that maybe he didn't need to find a new assistant, just wait for Wise's coaching failure and return to the team.
Ahem......
Wise's decision to leave will not affect Millwall, even if there are media reports, but the departure of an assistant coach has a very small impact, Millwall's most prestigious will always be Zhang Yang, as long as Zhang Yang does not leave, fans can be very relieved.
The club's celebration went on as normal.
The club was already preparing to celebrate a week before the Champions League final, and even if they didn't win the Champions League, they would have to celebrate the league title.
Now with one more Champions League title, the celebration is definitely even hotter.
According to the club's arrangement, all the players gathered in the morning, took a bus, held various trophies on it, and walked around the neighborhoods around Dog Island, and then stopped at the Dog Island Block Square.
The Dog Island Neighborhood Square is a medium-sized plaza that can accommodate more than 50,000 people.
The square was surrounded that day, but fortunately, the nearby police station was prepared, most of the officers were dispatched, and the Metropolitan Police Department also sent several teams to help maintain law and order, and the celebration could go on normally.
At the Dog Island Block Square, Millwall FC held a series of activities such as fan autographs, gifts and lucky fans touching trophies, after which all the staff took a bus to the home stadium of Neal Stadium for official celebration.
The celebration at Neil Stadium is all about getting fans to watch a show.
The club invited a few second-tier stars to perform for the fans on the spot, and if there were interested players, they could dance on stage, and after all the activities, the club representative made a winning speech.
Wilkinson is the official representative of the club.
Morris is the representative of the players.
Blanco Morin was the chosen fan representative.
One by one, the representatives went up and made completely unprofessional speeches, which made Zhang Yang grin, for example, the fan representative Blanco Morin, he is quite prestigious among the fans of the Dog Clan Road and Millwall, and most of his entire family, including parents, uncles and elders, and cousins, most of them support Millwall, so to speak, he was born in a traditional family of Millwall fans, but this guy is definitely not positive, he has no family, no job, he has not graduated from high school, and he is a street gangster who really underestimates him, Will it probably be a 'gang boss' in modern society?
Maybe?
Anyway, he couldn't see any normal colors on Morin, and he didn't speak at all, so when he went to the stage and looked into the microphone, he said, "Millwall has won!" It's just amazing! ”
And then it started --
"Long live Millwall!"
"God forbid!"
"Millwall are the best team in England!"
What made Zhang Yang quite fond was that Mo Lin did not forget to add, "Long live Zhang Yang!" ”
Ahem......
A group of people came to pay attention, and Zhang Yang's face was a little red.
After Morin got off the field, it was Zhang Yang's turn to go up, Zhang Yang came to the stage was all the attention, the noise on the scene became smaller, and when he picked up the microphone, the whole stadium became quiet.
Zhang Yang's feeling is not bad.
This kind of gaze that is watched by thousands of people, and is also held with admiration, anticipation and other emotional colors, is really addictive, and he even feels that he has ascended the throne and become the emperor, and everyone in front of him is his subjects.
Finally, Zhang Yang spoke.
"It's the hard work of the whole club and all the fans! Your support is important for the team moving forward! ”
Zhang Yang came up to emphasize the importance of the fans, and then began to talk about other people, from the club's vice president Wilkinson, to the manager Ebenezer, to the assistant coaching team, the club's ordinary staff, and also talked about the safety of the doormen and security guards, and even the name of the first-team training ground management was mentioned.
In fact, Zhang Yang is just a 'routine' report, and the speech must first talk about the leadership, and then talk about the employees below, Millwall Club will read the names of these people one by one, praise and perform one by one, and force the relationship between winning the championship, and it will not take much time at all.
Zhang Yang talked a lot about the team's results, the championships he won, and every time he read the name of a trophy, the fans shouted wildly.
That's almost the end of it.
Summing up the coaching work to the end, it must be looking forward to the future, Zhang Yanghao said without hesitation, "At the Champions League award ceremony, I told the players that I will definitely stand here next season!" ”
"That's not a simple impulse, it's a precise goal!"
"Next season, as the defending champions of the league and the Champions League, we will definitely be strong contenders for the title, so our goal will still be the title!"
"I hope that by tomorrow time we will still be here and celebrating the championship of the club!"
"That's all I have to say!"
As Zhang Yang's last words fell, all the fans cheered wildly again, and their voices were several decibels higher, which also became the most classic and touching scene in Millwall's celebration of winning the championship.
Zhang Yang didn't feel anything touching at all, he felt a little tired, and after making a routine speech, he was praised by a group of people when he stepped off the stage, "That's great!" ”
"Zhang, you're such a natural speaker!"
"I feel my blood boiling!"
"That's right! Next year we will celebrate the championship! I like this one the most! ”
“……”
Listening to the praise and praise around him, Zhang Yang rolled his eyes, he felt that he should let these people go to China to listen to some normal meetings, especially the leader's work speech, and he would definitely learn a lot.
Millwall's celebration is finally over.
Zhang Yang also exhaled a long breath, when the celebration began, there was still some excitement and excitement, and in the end, only tired, physically and mentally exhausted, after everything was done, he went home and slept well.
When I woke up the next day, I turned on the TV, read the newspapers, read the news, and there were still reports of Millwall's victory.
Zhang Yang felt bored.
For the news media, you can also fry cold rice to chase Millwall and report a series of news, perhaps because this summer, there are no international competitions, the only England team to participate in the European Championship qualifiers, the results are still very bad, except for criticizing the head coach McLaren, there is nothing to say.
Millwall FC is starting their summer work.
The important work in the summer is transfers, or 'personnel changes', and the first team is naturally about transfers and contract renewals, and there are also a lot of changes within the club.
Millwall FC is developing rapidly, the original small club operation mode, can no longer be sustained, the club also needs to expand personnel, such as business, transfers, sports, legal, personnel, etc., all need to set up a separate department.
In addition, an important work in the summer is to expand the Neil Stadium, because the Neil Stadium does not meet the Champions League standards, it is necessary to expand the number of spectator seats, the expansion plan has already been formulated, is to put the east side of the stands, the south side of the stands, respectively, add a huge steel guardrail, and then the number of people in the stands on both sides can increase nearly 4,000 seats, other expansion plans also include reducing the area occupied by a single seat, adding one or two rows of seats on both sides of the aisle, etc., the latter point is very easy, the construction area of the Neil Stadium spectator seats is not small, Moreover, it was built more than ten years ago, and at that time, considering the number of fans and spectators, there was not enough dense seating, and now it has become much easier to change.
This will affect the feelings of the fans, but for the time being, considering that the stadium will be built in the short term to meet the requirements of UEFA regulations.
The club also has an 'imaginary' plan to build a new stadium, which is only imaginary for the time being, and it is not easy to prepare a new stadium, it will take a long time to make a plan, it will also take up to several years to build, and the investment amount will be very large, without enough sponsorship support, it is unlikely to be completed by Millwall FC alone.
The club's owner, Prince Mossad, is only 'relatively rich', his assets are not enough to build a new stadium, and even if he sells all his assets, it will only be enough to build a slightly better stadium, he is not a loyal fan of Millwall, and it is impossible for him to pay so much money for an investment.
The new stadium has not yet been considered.
The above are all club-related things, and they have little to do with Zhang Yang, he just listens to Wilkinson and Ebenezer say a few words, and hardly expresses any opinions.
Zhang Yang is just a head coach.
The manager's job is busy enough that he doesn't even have much time off to care about the work of the club anymore.
Zhang Yang's work is still in the first team.
In Millwall's coaching staff, Wise is definitely leaving, his work is taken over by Frederick and Aldous, that is bad news for Frederick, Humpty Dumpty has booked a plane ticket, and plans to go on vacation with his wife and children, but he didn't expect Wise to leave soon, and he needs to be involved in the transfer work, he can't take a vacation with the players, but has to work for nearly two more weeks.
Frederick's vacation was postponed, but Aldous was better, he was already working on some of the youth team, and the holiday time was much later than Frederick's, and the holiday would not be too long, he would come back more than half a month earlier than the first team assembly time.
At this level, the assistant coach has more hours than the head coach.
Zhang Yang does not have a definite holiday arrangement, he can leave at will, as long as the transfer work is completely arranged by the club.
Of course it can't be.
Zhang Yang must coordinate the overall situation, know which players are leaving, and which players will renew their contracts, and help the team replenish the squad on these premises.
In fact, at the end of a season, Millwall won the treble, Zhang Yang actually thought about leaving, because the championship team is not easy to stay, some players will lose their fighting spirit, the whole team will face a lot of pressure, and it is a very big challenge to continue coaching.
However, after Millwall actually won the championship, Zhang Yang completely changed his mind.
His head coach career module has improved.
The aura of championship honor, which was definitely improved, has strengthened the ability of the whole team, and has reached 7.5 percent.
In addition, the number of followers designated by 'Word Spirit' has also increased by one, bringing the total number to 'four', in other words, the team may have one more 'Braniff' in the new season.
These two enhancements are to be expected.
Zhang Yang was very pleased that he had gained a new ability, "Lucky Prophet: Using the prophetic ability, you can predict the physical health of a designated person for the coming year. ”
Although the description of the new ability was a bit vague, Zhang Yang quickly learned the exact usage after careful study.
The "Lucky Prophet" is a prophetic ability, and the prophecy time is still very long, reaching a year.
What the "Lucky Prophet" predicts is the player's 'Health Luck Index Rating' for the coming year, that is, he can know in advance which players will have bad luck in the coming year and may lead to consecutive or huge injuries, and which players, on the contrary, will have a very high Health Luck Index and are not prone to injuries in difficult games.
This may sound vague, but when you think about it, you can see that a player with a high 'Health Luck Index rating' will have good luck overall and will be very less prone to injury.
Contrarily.
Players with a low 'Health Luck Index rating' may be unlucky enough to be injured in training.
Quaresma is an example of this.
Quaresma, who was a regular right wing-back throughout the season, was injured and made just 20 league appearances and missed several important Champions League games.
This is the manifestation of a low 'Health Luck Index rating'.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh that he had this ability last summer, he would rather buy an ordinary Premier League right midfielder than spend a lot of money to buy Quaresma, and the repeatedly injured players are really too 'pit'.
It's not too late.
After having such a strong team, Zhang Yang is full of hope for the new season, and he finds that he can continue to stay at Millwall, and add strength to the original team to create a top-level squad that is 'not easy to get injured in every player and is quite good in all positions'.
That's certainly no worse than the giants!
When you have the opportunity to lead a giant-level team and use various abilities to compete against your opponents, one championship after another is almost equivalent to flying over automatically, so why leave?
Zhang Yang couldn't find a reason.
So he decided to stay for another season and lead Millwall to all the titles, which was probably an interesting experience.
