By the end of the press conference, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

After the reporters dispersed, and the staff members went home to rest, Zhang Yang and Ebenezer walked out of the venue together and went to a restaurant on the street to have supper.

There is a big age difference between the two, but they are like brothers and sisters.

They were all going to stay at the club this night.

Ebenezer was amazed by Zhang Yang's performance at the press conference, "At your age, I still have to worry about what kind of work to do, worry about life every day, and for a while, I even think that I will become a homeless person in the future." At that time, let alone facing so many reporters, I would be very nervous when there was a reporter covering me on the side of the road. ”

"I thought you would be nervous too, but I didn't expect ...... If I had known, I would have left all my time to you, those damn journalists, it's a real headache. ”

"Maybe you should be a press spokesman."

"If you can't find a job in the future, you can come to me, and you have a good future as a manager."

Zhang Yang pursed his lips, not knowing whether the other party was praising or sarcastic.

He had to be humble.

After returning to the head coach's office, Zhang Yang fell headlong on the sofa, tired and a little tired, but soon he became energetic, sat down in front of the computer again, and checked the opponent's information.

Tomorrow is the game against Ipswich!

There is no point in talking about the sky, the real challenge is always in the competition!

Zhang Yang carefully studied Ipswich, from the player profile to the historical starting lineup, to Ipswich's past style of play, and also watched the footage of two opponents' games to try to know more about them.

It doesn't necessarily help the game, but it's certainly a learning process.

Considering Ipswich's style of play and watching tomorrow's game will give him a deeper understanding of football tactics.

It's important and it's about the future.

Zhang Yang stayed up until two o'clock in the morning before he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Wake up early the next day and walk around the club to familiarize yourself with the neighborhood.

When the team was about to assemble for training, he rushed back to check on the training.

To others, Zhang Yang was still idle, just standing on the sidelines and not participating in the team's training, and Frederick and Aldous complained, "Look at him! Also the head coach? No, I think he's like a fan standing in the stadium, and the difference with other fans is that he doesn't have to buy tickets and can still make money! ”

Aldous shrugged.

No matter how much he complains, Frederick still does what he has to do, and it's his job to train for the first team.

Zhang Yang is not idle.

He has been carefully observing what Frederick is doing, what Aldous is doing, and occasionally listening closely to how the two are directing, how the training is unfolding, and how the players are training processed.

These are all things to learn.

Zhang Yang looked very seriously, and didn't care about the strange eyes of others, he took out a small notebook and wrote down the contents that he thought should be paid attention to one by one.

This scene made Frederick feel flustered, "He couldn't have heard me and wrote it down, right?" ”

Aldous almost burst out laughing.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

All the staff took a bus to Neil Stadium.

The game is about to begin.

This time the competition is different from before, Zhang Yang has become the head coach of the team, he does not have to lead the team back and forth, but goes to the pre-game press conference, and the rest of the work is taken care of by the 'first assistant coach' Aldous.

It's not the first time Zhang Yang has attended a press conference, but it was definitely the first time for a pre-match press conference.

This is something that only a manager can be involved in.

Theoretically, at the press conference before the game, the questions from media reporters will also be directly related to the game, but today's press conference is a little different, many media reporters are here for Zhang Yang, and they are rarely concerned about the game.

This was also expected.

Although the manager's press conference was held yesterday, the time was too rushed, and many media did not have time to do interviews.

Many reporters at the scene asked questions, and almost all of them were related to 'Zhang Yang as interim coach of Millwall'.

There was a guy who didn't respect people very much, and he asked, 'When do you think you'll be out of class?' Zhang Yang's brow furrowed when he listened, and then he looked at the press officer and asked in a voice that could be heard by the whole audience, "The world is so amazing, and I can't adapt to it so fast." I've just discovered that the international community has become so open that some ape-like creatures that can only produce mimicking syllables can find a job as a journalist in human society? ”

Everyone in the room looked at the reporter who asked the question.

It was a London Sport reporter, who looked like a mix of black and white, with a very strong build, a high raised jaw on his brain, and a big mouth, and it didn't matter if he didn't pay much attention, but when you put it together with the description of an 'ape-like creature', it became very vivid.

The audience burst into laughter.

The reporter was also furious, he almost moved his hand in anger, and kept waving his hand to express, "I want to complain to you, you are racist!" You openly mock other people's looks! "There are also many words that resemble the syllables of 'FU-CK' in between.

He was taken out of the stadium by security guards.

During the whole process, Zhang Yang only had one sentence, "I'm sorry, I don't know why you're angry, I just made a little joke with Mr. Information Officer." ”

The press officer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He realized that this young Chinese was not always easy to talk to, and he hurriedly stood up and reminded all reporters, "The content of the question must be related to the competition." ”

This sentence killed the minds of many media reporters.

Zhang Yang just smiled lightly.

When it came to the game, Zhang Yang had a lot to say, but he held it all in his stomach, and the most important thing was that "this is Neil Stadium, Millwall's turf." There's no reason why Millwall would lose to their opponents and I think this one would be a gift from Millwall to the fans! ”

How good is this gift?

Then it depends on the outcome of the game between the two sides!

3:15 a.m.

Amid a tsunami of shouts from the stands at Neil Stadium, Millwall's home game against Ipswich Town officially kicked off.

Zhang Yang felt the enthusiasm of the fans, and his blood was flowing at an accelerated pace.

He looked around with his head held high.

The hands were clenched into fists hard, and the muscles on the backs of the hands were hideous.

Excitement fills my heart!

Zhang Yang turned his head to look at Aldous, with an indifferent smile on his face, and powerful syllables popped out of the corners of his mouth.

That can be connected into a sentence in Chinese, "Here, this is my stage!" ”

————

The race is on.

Unlike the previous game, Zhang Yang was carefully observing the game from the first minute.

The 'Foreknowledge' ability can know what is going to happen next, but after all, it is a picture, and there is no real hand-to-hand spirit, and in addition, most of the pictures that are 'predicted' are following the football, and the place without the football cannot be viewed.

Zhang Yang looks at the whole.

By now he knows what a manager has to do.

Not only the on-the-spot command in the game, but also the overall formation, positioning, tactics and so on of the team, each of which he needs to consider.

The current starting lineup, the 'Speech Soul Divination' gives the 'Lineup Prospect Assessment' value of four stars, and the 'Lineup Prospect Assessment' is also equivalent to the 'Squad Strength Evaluation', which shows the strength of a team.

Zhang Yang tried many times, constantly changing the lineup, constantly changing the starters, but the highest result was only four stars.

That's pretty much the top of Millwall.

From yesterday to now, Zhang Yang has been thinking about a question: how to improve the strength of the team?

There are two most straightforward answers.

One is to bring in quality players, which is the approach adopted by most teams, but Millwall is certainly not possible, and by the time the transfer window opens in January, the team will have to sell players to pay off debts.

The second is to use tactical training to strengthen the cooperation between players, and use the tactical play style of inherent routines to make the team play stronger as a whole.

Zhang Yang is thinking about this.

This is also the inevitable direction of efforts in the future.

However, there is no need to think about it so much for the time being, the strength of Millwall's 'four-star' squad, coupled with the ability of 'foresight', is enough for the team to mix in the Championship.
