Chapter 62: The Great Contest of Appearance

Frederick had a day full of joy and anxiety.

In the morning, he was greeted by Ebenezer with the possibility of taking Denise Wise's place as the team's interim principal.

He waited for this day, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting!

Frederick wanted to be a head coach one day, but as an 'academic' coach with no professional experience, it was too hard to stand out.

Although he has some very successful predecessors, such as Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez, both of whom are 'academic' coaches and have successfully managed the Premier League's top teams, there are many more examples of failure, and the average 'academy' coach is already quite good when he can enter a professional team to coach a professional team.

Frederick also knows that he is 'very good', but he is also self-motivated, especially in recent years, Millwall's results have been inconsistent, the manager has changed one after another, but the results have not improved in the slightest, and now they are almost sinking into the relegation zone, coupled with the club's poor financial situation, he still feels that there is still hope.

The success trajectory of the 'seniors' made Frederick feel that as long as he had the opportunity, he would not be much worse.

If you leave Millwall, you will definitely not have a chance, the opportunity is still in the club.

Now's your chance!

Frederick was overjoyed that he had found a life-changing opportunity and began to imagine a few years later, leading the team to the Champions League final.

But Ebenezer poured some cold water on him to calm him down.

"You're going to compete with Zhang! But don't worry, the competition works in your favor. ”

After Frederick heard this, he was as disgusting as eating flies, and he couldn't imagine that the young Chinese in his early twenties could compete with him.

The two are not in the same heavyweight class at all!

But Ebenezer said that the competition was in his favor, and Frederick reluctantly accepted it, and he resisted the feeling of 'can't wait to become the head coach', and went to the chairman's office to wait for publicity.

He originally looked down on Zhang Yang.

However, Zhang Yang and Ebenezer's struggle made Frederick secretly regret, "Why didn't I fight for a higher salary?" ”

Triple the salary!

Frederick only got a 1,100-a-week contract, and his income was worse than that of Zhang Yang, and if he increased it by three times, he would become more face-saving in front of his family in the future.

In similar terms, he is paid as an assistant coach, so how can he work as a head coach for free?

This doesn't make sense!

Frederick's heart was suddenly unbalanced, but he obviously cared more about the head coach position, and he didn't dare to fight for his own welfare at all, for fear that if he opened his mouth, he would lose the opportunity to compete.

Seeing that neither of them objected, Ebenezer began to talk about the 'fair play' approach.

"Britain is a democratic country, everything we do is democratic, just like the election of the prime minister, the election of mayors everywhere, and the election of deputies are very democratic, and the more people support it, the more people will be able to be elected."

"The first thing you're competing for is to win more Millwall fans!"

"The club will open a poll on the official website, and only Millwall official website members can participate in voting. Whoever has more support will win this one! ”

Both nodded at the same time.

However, the two men had very different ideas, and Frederick thought he could win, having worked at Millwall for nearly a decade and most of the loyal fans knew him, and there was no reason why they would choose a young Chinese man in his early twenties.

Zhang Yang is very sure that he won this one.

He's a 'Weibo celebrity'!

What is a 'Weibo influencer'? That's a charismatic figure, whether he is a Millwall fan or not, it's not easy to call on fans and let them register as a member?

Then there's voting.

Frederick? Even if he wins the support of the majority of Millwall fans, he will not necessarily win the eventual victory.

As for cheating or something, Zhang Yang is not considered.

To borrow Ebenezer's analogy, the British prime minister's election is very democratic, but the representatives competing for the prime minister also have to give speeches everywhere to solicit votes.

What's the big deal?

Then Ebenezer said the second point, "The players are also important, a manager has to win the approval of more players, so the second is to let all the players vote, and whoever gets the most votes will win!" ”

Frederick was more relieved.

Again, he has worked hard at the club for ten years, and every player knows each other, and they are together almost every day.

If the players don't choose him, who else will they choose?

Zhang Yang is not too sure about this, he knows the name of every Millwall player, and most of them have seen it, but after all, he has only been in the club for a short time, and he can't be sure whether he can win people's hearts.

"This one barely counts as that guy's!"

Zhang Yang thought.

Finally, Ebenezer said, "Whoever is the manager, Mr. Grigory's opinion is also important, and none of you disagree with that, right? ”

Who will disagree with the chairman at a critical moment?

Definitely not.

So Ebenezer grinned and said, "So in the end, Mr. Grigory, based on the wins and losses of your first two positions, will determine who will take on the position of head coach." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”

On the way back, Zhang Yang was thinking about what happened in the chairman's office.

That's kind of weird.

He didn't even think he would compete with Frederick for the managerial position, or if he did it that way, it sounded like a joke.

But that's the reality.

Since it is a reality, it is necessary to carefully analyze a series of 'projects' of Ebenezer.

Needless to say, the first and second items are to enlist the support of fans and players, and what does the last one mean?

Grigory's point of view?

Although Ebenezer added the phrase 'according to the victory or defeat of the first two', if the two draw the first two, which side Gligory favors will definitely win.

Will Grigory be biased towards himself?

No.

Zhang Yang has a positive answer, if he is an ordinary player, he may choose himself at the touch of his head, but Gligory is the president of the club, and he has a clear judgment on who will be the head coach.

In addition to directing the game, Frederick is better than himself in every way, he can be considered a qualified coach, and as a head coach, even he sounds like an international joke.

That's interesting.

"But something interesting, shouldn't it happen?"

Zhang Yang smiled.

He walked through the door with a smile on his face and saw Catherine standing by the Christmas tree.

She hung small toys and decorations on it to make the Christmas tree very beautiful, she did it very seriously, everything was done in an orderly manner, she also cut colored paper with her own hands, fixed some small light bulbs around it.

"It's beautiful!" Zhang Yang walked over with a smile, "You can make a lot of money by decorating the Christmas tree!" ”

Catherine was still like that.

She was still smiling at the corner of her mouth just now, but when she turned her head and saw Zhang Yang, she immediately straightened her face.

Zhang Yang suddenly became serious, and he looked at Catherine very seriously. Catherine was a little confused, her big eyes blinked, and she seemed to be a little flustered, and then she heard Zhang Yang say, "Ask you a very serious matter." If I had the opportunity to be Millwall's manager, would you support me? ”

Catherine's mouth opened wide, but seeing the serious expression in front of her, the mocking words were forcibly swallowed and not spoken, only nodded slightly, "Of course." ”

"So what are you waiting for?" Zhang Yang yelled, stretched out his hand and pointed to the second floor, "Hurry up, go upstairs!" Turn on your computer! Be quick! Go to Millwall's official website to register an account, and then click Support Me on the homepage! ”

"Yes, there's my avatar there! Don't get it wrong! ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Zhang Yang entered a state of emergency work.

He turned on the computer, quickly logged on to Weibo, and began to call fansβ€”

"Significant!

I'm going to compete with Frederick for good looks! Even if I'm ugly, I'm better than that short and fat guy!

This is simply a great insult!

Dear fans, go to the official website of Millwall and support me!

If you are not a member, please register as a member, and let us work together to eliminate the negative forces that pollute the world! ”

At the bottom of Weibo, a comparison of the photos of the two is attached.

flamboyant dressed up as a handsome guy, and posed handsomely; Frederick was dressed in an elderly sportswear, his hair had not even been washed, and his appearance was extremely sloppy.

Is this appearance still worth comparing?
