'Millwall played well last time. But I think when you lose your job and you can't work at Millwall, remember to come to Ipswich and my coaching staff will give you a place. ”

After Joe Royle finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yang with a smile and put on a 'optimistic look for you'.

That's not a well-intentioned solicitation!

Everyone around me could hear that it was Chi Guoguo's sarcasm, and his main point was, 'You're going to lose your job if you don't stay in Millwall's manager's position for a short time'.

Others don't know why Royle is targeting Zhang Yang, but those who know can think that Millwall, led by Zhang Yang, and Ipswich, led by Royle, had a fight, and the two must have had an unpleasant quarrel in the game.

And so it is.

Royle is not willing to lead the team to lose to Millwall, especially a hairy boy, he doesn't think he is losing to the other party, but the other party's luck is better.

In football, luck is too important!

At the end of the game, Zhang Yang's attitude of not caring about the handshake was even more vivid in Royle's memory, and he felt that the other party was too arrogant.

With the opportunity for verbal 'revenge', he certainly won't miss it.

Zhang Yang listened, his face was still smiling, and the smile was even more enthusiastic, he raised his wine glass and touched Royle, and took a sip, "It's enough to have this sentence!" If I really lost my job as a head coach, I would definitely consider Ipswich Town first! ”

Royle was stunned.

The others were also stunned.

Could it be that this young Chinese didn't understand that Royle was sarcastic about him? Or did he really think so?

Zhang Yang followed up and continued, "But the same words are also for you. I'm just a newcomer to the football world, but I believe the future is big and your experience will help me a lot. If you can't continue as a head coach, my coaching staff is always ready to welcome you. ”

Zhang Yang's face was sincere when he spoke.

Rosie Pierce was wondering if this young Chinese kid really didn't understand Royle's sarcasm and was sincerely inviting him.

Royle didn't think so, his face flushed with anger.

But Zhang Yang didn't let him go, "I remember the last time Millwall defeated Ipswich, the two of us are also the managers of the Championship club, I won you, Millwall has better results recently, so I believe that my chances of staying and continuing to coach are much bigger than yours!" ”

“……”

Royle gasped, but didn't know how to refute.

Millwall win Ipswich!

Millwall's results have been much better than Ipswich lately!

How can this be refuted?

Royle let out a cold snort of dissatisfaction, and left with a wine glass, and then heard a 'low whisper' behind him, "We have an ancient Chinese saying called 'relying on the old and selling the old', which means 'relying on old age and selling qualifications, looking down on people', this is the kind of person, he always feels that he is old, and young people can't do it", and by the way, there is a female voice who laughs out of 'fluttering'.

Suddenly, Royle walked faster.

Rosie Pierce was probably very interested in Zhang Yang, and the rest of the time was standing next to Zhang Yang and chatting.

The people who noticed it next to him couldn't help but cast envious glances.

It is useless for them to envy.

The venue is full of well-known figures in the British football industry, but the average age can reach 50 years old, the old guys just rely on their looks, it is too difficult to attract female models, and only those real big names will be surrounded by female models, and the purpose of female models is probably just to pull down the relationship, so as to facilitate various ways to become famous in the future.

The flamboyant age and appearance are indescribable.

Than the looks?

If it were elsewhere, Zhang Yang probably wouldn't have much confidence.

It's hard to think about the first place here!

The female models are only secondary, and the purpose of the reception is to facilitate the communication of people in the football world, and Zhang Yang also talked with a few people along the way.

Among them are the managers of Premier League teams, as well as coaches of clubs at all levels.

Let's talk about the football environment, complain about the fierce competition and finances, and by the way, criticize the FA's policies, and the overall feeling is not bad.

Zhang Yang was chatting with others, and saw a gray-haired man walking to the middle of the venue with a wine glass, he waved to everyone, and everyone in the venue walked in, and then he said, "Ladies! Gentlemen! Welcome to the New Year's Cocktail hosted by the FA, I'm David Dunn! ”

Everyone applauded.

David Dunn is the vice-president of the Arsenal club and the vice-president of the FA and is a very respected legend in the industry.

David Dunn then said, "The new year has begun, but for professional football, a season is just over the halfway point, and every team is in a tight schedule, but in recent times, maybe many people can breathe a sigh of relief, we took the opportunity to hold a New Year's cocktail party, so that everyone can get to know each other and exchange ideas." ”

"Now, let's raise a glass to the new 2006!"

Everyone raised a glass and drank together.

David Dunn then continued, "The topic of today's reception is 'the development of professional football in England', which is an important job for the FA, and I think everyone here must have a unique opinion, and as the FA's vice-president, I would like to say a few words on behalf of the FA. ”

"The development of football in England is a big issue, but our focus is on the professionalism and commercialization of the English league, and the promotion of the development of the English team, while the commercialization of football, we also hope that the league can produce more football talents to make the English team ......."

What follows is a bunch of nonsense.

David Dunn has been talking about 'commercialising the English league' and 'improving the strength of the England team', but after talking about it for a long time, he has been explaining it non-stop, and there is no substance at all.

Everyone in the room listened patiently.

It's polite.

When David Dunn finished speaking, everyone only gave a symbolic round of applause, and then they dispersed in a hurry, what should be done.

There are no special rules for the reception.

Those who want to participate in the 'issue' can symbolically talk to others, and they are participating for the purpose of the party, just to talk about topics of interest.

It's a nice relaxed atmosphere.

But Zhang Yang soon found that the club presidents and officials in the venue were better, and the head coaches at all levels were consciously divided into three groups.

One is the 'English coaching faction' led by Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.

One is the 'foreign coaching faction' led by Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.

There is also a neutral faction led by Arsenal manager 'Arsene Wenger', it is worth mentioning that Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is also in this faction, but this faction has the smallest number of people.

There were thirty or forty coaches in the venue, all of whom consciously found a place, and even the female models were divided into several groups.

Many people looked at Zhang Yang who was standing in the middle, and suddenly the atmosphere around him became awkward, Zhang Yang glanced left and right, and found that the hostile atmosphere between the 'local faction' and the 'foreign faction' was very strong, so he naturally walked towards the neutral faction.

"It's smart." Quite a few people think.

It doesn't really matter which faction a young coach in his twenties goes to a small Championship club, but if he goes to the other two factions, he may not be accepted, because most of the people present are 'relying on the old and selling the old', and they don't think he is already 'one of them'.

It doesn't matter if it's a neutral faction.

They are just made up of a group of coaches who don't want to get involved in the 'hostile'.

Although Ferguson and Mourinho are both figures of English football, the number of female models gathered here is the largest, and even the high-profile Lily Huntington is standing next to Wenger.

Everyone is talking and discussing.

As the core of the 'faction', Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger will also respond to the FA's call to say a few words on the issue of 'English football development', he and Liverpool coach Benitez are also talking, but most of them are just for the FA officials next to him, as a Frenchman, he doesn't care about the development of English football.

Everyone else gathered around and listened.

Arsene Wenger is talking about the 'professional development of English football', "professional and commercial development, it must be more open, which will also attract more foreign investment, just like Chelsea, but not every club, like Chelsea, has a lot of money support, many foreign investors choose to invest money in English football, but it is just an investment that expects returns." ”

"To improve the strength of the England team, we still have to consider the technical and tactical aspects, I am not optimistic about Eriksen's coaching results, the Swede's tactical thinking is too backward."

The others nodded their heads as they listened.

When Wenger finished talking, he began to beckon everyone else to say a few words, and every coach present said a few words, but most of them were insignificant.

Everyone thinks the same way.

"What does the development of English football have to do with us? We're just managers at all levels, we're not FA presidents, we're not England managers! ”

At first, Zhang Yang pricked up his ears to listen, and then simply hid to the side and chatted with Joe Royle about modeling work.

Zhang Yang has heard some talk about Denise, and he and Rosie Pierce can also find common topics.

The two were chatting hotly.

Joe Royle suddenly said out loud, "Why don't we let the young Millwall manager talk?" He's also the manager of the club, and he's so young, maybe he has a different perspective than us old guys! ”
