Zhang Yang secretly returned to China on a flight from New York to SH City.

If you depart from London, you will definitely be noticed by media reporters, there will be a lot of latest news in China, there will be many fans to greet you, and there will be many media interviews.

Flying from New York is different.

Few media knew that Zhang Yang was in New York, and he also suddenly booked a ticket to return, which did not attract the attention of the media, Zhang Yang only brought his agent Andy, assistant Ruan Hailong, and two bodyguards, and the itinerary was very low-key.

However, Zhang Yang's fame is too great, as long as people who care about European football, they will basically know him, and he is also recognized on the plane, fortunately, he is in a VIP cabin, and he is not strongly watched, he only talked with his peers, and took a group photo together.

When he arrived at SH International Airport, Zhang Yang was recognized again.

This time it's a bit of a hassle.

Zhang Yang smiled and greeted the person who recognized him, and then walked quickly out of the airport and got into the prepared car, he was not resistant to the fans, but it would be very troublesome to be recognized, especially in public, a group of people gathered around, and it was difficult to leave.

That's the trouble with celebrities.

The car didn't stop, and drove all the way to the house in SZ City, where Zhang Zhongyi and his cheap stepmother had been waiting for a long time.

There is no need to talk about the excitement of family reunions.

That night, his younger brother Zhang Chen and his cheap stepmother had an incident, Zhang Chen wanted to sign up for a football school, he said that he wanted to become a star, and his cheap stepmother was resolutely opposed, and Zhang Zhongyi also held objections, but Zhang Chen was young, but his personality was very stubborn, and he didn't listen to persuasion.

Zhang Yang also felt that Zhang Chen's age was too young.

However, football training must start from the baby, and if you want to become a star in the future, the time is about the same, and it's time to participate in professional training.

Zhang Zhongyi asked Zhang Yang's opinion, and the family also looked at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang is the most promising in the family, and he is also an internationally renowned football coach, his opinion is very important, Zhang Yang thought about it and said, "Chenchen can go to participate in the professional coaching course of youth football, only use his spare time, if he can play top-notch, he has the potential to cultivate, otherwise he can only focus on learning." ”

This suggestion is still pertinent.

Zhang Chen is very grateful for Zhang Yang's support, but his stepmother is a little entangled, because playing football may delay her studies.

Zhang Zhongyi finally decided, "The conditions of our family don't have to study well, and we will study abroad if we have the ability in the future, just like Yangyang, isn't it good now?" ”

After listening to it, the cheap stepmother finally nodded.

Zhang Yang smiled slightly, and didn't say anything else, he had some expectations for Zhang Chen to learn to play football, if his younger brother really had potential, he would definitely be patient to cultivate, he was a football coach, his younger brother was a star, and after more than ten years, his younger brother would play for his own team?

When the time comes, give Zhang Chen a 'spirit of words', even if his ability level is average, he may be able to become a top star.

That's really interesting.

At that time, he would be the most famous coach in China, and his younger brother would be the most famous star, and the two brothers 'ruled' Chinese football.

Ahem......

Zhang Yang felt that he was still thinking a little far.

Zhang Yang only stayed at home for one day, and the next day he had to return to SH City to participate in a sports program on Central TV.

This has been negotiated for a long time.

Among them, it is not only Zhang Yang, but also the Millwall club, before the Champions League final, CCTV sent a column team to the Millwall club to shoot the column.

Now is the final finish, Zhang Yang has to go to the scene for an interview.

In addition to publicity, CCTV also invited the captain Morris, who is already in SH, and he came to China to participate in the show, one is to promote his fame, and the other is also commercial.

In just two hours of interviewing and shooting, Morris was able to get six million yuan.

Central TV's investment in this column is still relatively large, because there is Zhang Yang showing his face in the program, and he will interact with fans on the spot, talk about some coaching topics, the predicted ratings will definitely be very high, the ratings of the first broadcast on the day are estimated to exceed 50 million, and the next broadcast and network ratings will continue to rise, and it is expected to cover the total number of people, which can reach nearly 200 million people, and there will be many foreign fans, click to watch the filmed column.

With such an influence, no matter how much investment is worth it.

Zhang Yang met Jody Morris at the filming site of the column, and the two met and talked about the holiday, Morris's vacation was very noisy, and he spent most of his time running around and doing various business activities.

This is also a kind of helplessness.

Morris was at his peak, and his form began to decline after two years, taking advantage of the glory of the team to win the treble, his fame also soared, and he participated in more business activities, increased his personal direct income, and accumulated capital for the life of retirement in the future.

This is a normal concern for many stars.

A famous star, career income will be very high, after retirement, the situation will completely change, there will be no higher salary, can only look for other jobs, there are excellent will be engaged in coaching, but there are still not many successful coaching, most of them end in failure, some will also be engaged in football-related work, but the income will also decline a lot, and some will change careers, such as some players will make investments, some players will change careers to become football commentators, commentators, etc., and some go to college again, find an ordinary job, But no matter how you choose, there are not many who can continue to maintain a high salary, and whether they will succeed in the future is also full of uncertainty, and it is still important to make more money while taking advantage of the glory of your career.

At half past five in the afternoon, the column of Central TV officially began.

The first 20 minutes of the show had already been filmed, and under the introduction of the TV host, Millwall's training footage was played, and then the whole team went to Athens, Greece, and settled in the hotel before the game against Chelsea.

Millwall players will appear in the picture, and flamboyant shots are also indispensable.

There is a picture of Zhang Yang explaining the playing style and tactics to the whole team, which is very moving, he said it in standard English, and then fluently had a conversation with Quaresma in Grapevine, and there is a text translation below, which still makes people feel very powerful.

After that, it's time for the official competition.

The game was too long, and it was skimmed, and there were pictures of key goals in the middle.

Zhang Yang watched all the pictures carefully, and there was only one emotion in his heart, "Sure enough, it's not a loss to be a professional TV show!" ”

The whole video process highlights that Millwall is working hard, and every player is working hard, as if the rhythm of the conversation on weekdays is --

"The Champions League is about to start!"

"I'll definitely do my best!"

"We're going to win!"

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

"Keep going!"

“……”

But in fact, this is definitely not the case, the atmosphere in the team is still relaxed on weekdays, even in the face of the Champions League final, it is normal for several players to cheat and slip in training.

Among them, there is a picture of Vardy bouncing the ball continuously, shooting as if the football never fell to the ground, and he also used a variety of fancy actions to greatly increase the ornamentation of the juggling ball, when Zhang Yang was next to him, he saw that Vardy and Braniff bet, saying that he could use such and such an action, completed many times in a row, and the result was a continuous failure, occasionally a success, and was disdainfully pouted by Braniff, and then the two were like children, playing together.

This is reflected in the camera, and it becomes Vardy's resolute effort to juggle the ball, as if juggling the ball has become a very important training.

All right.

Finally, when the video was over, Zhang Yang also returned to seriousness and smile, the camera turned to the shooting scene, the live broadcast must have a good performance, even Morris was much more stable, and it could even be said that he became nervous, because he heard that the show was broadcast to a billion people, even if only one tenth of the people watched it, it was quite a remarkable number, enough to make Morris, who maintained the concept of 'a few million is a lot of people' in his mind, become nervous, serious, and a little excited.

After the camera switched, the host helped introduce Zhang Yang and Morris.

Mr. Zhang spoke Mandarin, and Mr. Morris certainly spoke English, but he was asked to speak at a faster pace with a temporary translator.

Morris didn't have many opportunities to speak, most of them were conversations with the host.

The host did an on-site interview, asked three questions that had been drafted, and Zhang Yang replied one by one according to the prepared answers.

This is memorizing lines, and it doesn't make sense to say it.

After that, it came to the more critical part, which was to interact with the fans in front of the TV, and many fans would call the hotline, and if they were lucky, they could connect to the live broadcast room of the show, and then they could ask Zhang Yang and Morris questions directly.

The fans' questions were still very interesting, but the first question stumped Zhang Yang.

"Who is Millwall's best player?" The fans who answered the phone said a lot and said a little excited, but that's pretty much it.

Zhang Yang smiled wryly, "Millwall has many outstanding players, but it is really difficult to say the best. Pointing at Morris, he quipped, "If I were to say here that the other players were the best, Josh would be very unhappy." ”

The host laughed along.

Morris was a little confused, so he asked the translator when he switched shots to understand.

Zhang Yang continued, "Since I asked, I would like to make a comment on my players, and there are many very good players in my team, which can be said to be the best players in the world, and Morris is one of them. ”

"In terms of performance last season, Bent was the best up front, there were more good players in midfield, Braniff played very well, and Pire was very consistent. Quaresma just has a lot of injuries......"

"The back line Ward and Zambrotta, the two pillars, I read the comments of the fans and they use that word to describe ......"

Zhang Yang commented on the team's performance a little, and then ushered in the second question, "Did you receive an invitation from the giants?" Thinking about joining a big club? Will he be in charge of Millwall next season? ”

This is uncertain news for fans.

Zhang Yang did not release the specific news of leaving or staying, the media had some speculation, and a lot of news could be seen in the report, but there was no accuracy at all.

Zhang Yang said with certainty, "I will stay in Millwall because there is no reason to leave." He then explained, "There are a few clubs that have offered me, such as Chelsea, Liverpool, and teams from Italy and Spain, and I knew about these offers but they explicitly declined, and again, I have no reason to leave. Millwall is a team I've built from my own and it's too far away to be uncertain, but at least next season I'll be here to stay. ”

That's the clear answer.

The next third question is very interesting, some fans asked Zhang Yang whether he would coach the national football team, Zhang Yang smiled, "I am now the head coach of Millwall, and I am not thinking about coaching the national team." ”

He did not explicitly refuse, but said, "Coaching the national team is different from the club, the players in the club are fixed, and the national team is called up from various clubs, the two are very different, if I have the opportunity to coach the national team in the future, I believe it will be a completely different experience, and I am not sure if I can do it well." ”

Next, Zhang Yang answered a few questions one after another, and when the time was almost up, the last fan who connected asked him to comment on the stars of world football, Zhang Yang smiled, "The scope of world football is too big, and there are too many big stars, if you are specific, I think Messi who plays for Barcelona is very good, and C-Ronaldo of Manchester United is also quite a good player, and they all have a brilliant future." ”

"My team, like Livermore and Braniff, are really good and I'm sure they can go far in the future."

Next, Zhang Yang talked about a few more names, basically all of them are stars who will stir up the storm in the future.

Many fans noticed that Zhang Yang talked about mostly 'newcomers', Barcelona's Messi is an example, the current Messi is not very famous, just an excellent young man in Barcelona, many fans do not know this name, hearing Zhang Yang's statement, they can't help but check who Messi is, it doesn't matter if you check, you will immediately find out Messi's excellence-

Young, central, Ronaldinho's replacement, extremely good.

Wait a minute.

These can all be put on Messi.

However, Messi is a Barcelona player, and it is almost impossible to leave Barcelona, Zhang Yang has no interest in Messi at all, just talked casually.

At this point, the show is almost over.

Next, it was the host's turn to conduct some interviews with Zhang Yang and Morris, which was basically a process of memorizing lines, and finally Zhang Yang did not forget to help Millwall to promote the 'China Tour' from the end of July to the beginning of August.

After the recording of the program, Zhang Yang took a night's rest, and the next morning, he began a series of business trips, including participating in programs, recording commercials, and being invited to visit the club to deal with domestic football development people.

After that, Zhang Yang and his party returned to London.

There is still a lot of work to be done in London.

Zhang Yang went to New York for a month and stayed in China for less than five days, and the time has entered July, and the transfer work of the halfway club has made a lot of progress.

First of all, it is left.

Darren Bent's transfer is the most sensational news in European football, and even overshadows the Spanish golden boy Torres to join Liverpool, his departure is worth 45.5 million pounds, such a high figure represents the performance of the past year, with the Premier League and Champions League double Golden Boot, the transfer sensation in the world is a matter of course.

In addition, Quaresma also returned to Porto for a transfer fee of 15 million pounds, which is equivalent to a 'Premier League season tour', playing for Millwall for only one season, and returning almost at the original price.

That's pretty bad.

Many players who go to other clubs and often get injured and perform averagely, their value will decline, Quaresma's performance is very good, but there are really a lot of injuries, Porto considers the lack of people on the right side, and also wants to buy back Quaresma, Porto also feels that it is earned, because Quaresma followed Millwall and won the 'treble', such an experience must have greatly improved Quaresma's ability, and I believe that returning to Porto will perform even better.

Jimmy Traore and Sean Davies, who were re-promoted to the Premier League, were taken away by Portsmouth, who were re-promoted to the Premier League, for nine million pounds.

Portsmouth re-promoted to the Premier League, but they didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, and once again fell because of poor results, they regrouped and invested a lot in the transfer market.

Jimmy Traore and Sean Davies are both players who meet Portsmouth's needs, and the two can only be regarded as substitutes at Millwall, with Davies making more appearances and Traore less, but both are experienced players.

Davies used to play for Tottenham, Traore played for Liverpool, and in the average team, they can easily play the main team.

Portsmouth wants to rely on consistent players such as Davies and Traore to stabilize the team's results in the league.

In addition to the above players who transfer normally, Hamann, Smitchell, and Hislop have also left on free transfers.

If there is a transfer out, there is a transfer in.

As the new Champions League champions, the Premier League team that won the 'treble', Millwall is still very attractive, in July, the club's transfer department, the most successful deal is in the hands of Real Madrid, snatching Dutch midfielder Sneijder.

Millwall is the new Champions League champion and a team that has risen, but compared with Real Madrid, an old European giant, there is still a big gap in attractiveness.

The club's transfer department was also a little discouraged when it was learned that Real Madrid were asking for Sneijder at a high price, but still made a normal offer, which was one million euros higher than Real Madrid.

Sneijder's worth is not low.

Real Madrid's first offer reached 22 million euros, and then Ajax did not let go, they raised it by another 2 million euros, and with Millwall joining, Real Madrid raised the price to 26 million euros.

Millwall quoted 27 million euros.

Both sides knew that such a competition would not end well, and the final price was set at 27 million euros, and the decision was left to Sneijder.

In order to run a successful transfer and reduce the pressure of players leaving, Wilkinson personally made a trip to the Netherlands, met Sneijder himself, and the two found a quiet place to chat, and finally Wilkinson persuaded Sneijder.

'There's a lot of stars at Real Madrid and you don't necessarily have a place there.

'If you come to Millwall, you'll be an absolute mainstay, you should know that our original full-back, Quaresma, is gone, and on the other hand, Pire is old, so if you want to play, you can play.'

'Our head coach is flamboyant and very good at using players, every player in the team can perform well, and at Millwall you don't have to worry about performances.

"Going to Real Madrid is full of uncertainty, and Millwall will make sure you play and get the world's attention......"

Sneijder gave it some thought and finally decided to join Millwall.

Maybe it is still Zhang Yang's personal charm that has played a role, after Millwall won the Champions League, Millwall was reported all over Europe, and Zhang Yang was also reported, and many Dutch media also analyzed and reported on Zhang Yang, pointing out that he is very good at using players, the reason is that most of the players in the Millwall team have performed very well, even Quaresma, who is often injured, can have a good performance as long as he plays.

The media analyzed the reason, or pointed directly at Millwall's tactical play.

"Zhang Yang is the kind of manager who builds tactics according to the ability of his players. This guarantees the performance of players in every position. ”

Sneijder had read the reports and his agent thought it would be more advantageous to join Real Madrid, but given the competitive pressures of Real Madrid and the uncertain future, he chose Millwall anyway.
