Chapter 299: Brand Wilkinson

"I don't like Erikson......"

"So England won't get the results they want?"

The causal relationship in Zhang Yang's words made the reporters in the audience a little confused.

What is the rationale for this?

You don't like someone, someone leads a team, you can't get good results? According to this reasoning, the England team is considered to have been shot while lying down?

Zhang Yang's natural smile made many reporters can't help but pull the corners of their mouths, but they are very pleased, this sentence can be regarded as a classic line of personal style, right? As long as the report comes out, a large group of fans and readers will stand up, and they will quarrel about it non-stop, and it will immediately become hot news.

It's the selling point that counts!

Zhang Yang was in a good mood, the gambling had an effect, and Millwall met Middlesbrough, and the chances of advancing to the final were very good.

Middlesbrough is a good team, occasionally able to beat the giants, but that's all, Middlesbrough's results have fallen sharply recently, and the media commented that McClaren 'has no intention of being patient and is ready to put down the burden and start the road to England manager'.

This statement was unanimously recognized.

Zhang Yang also sees it this way.

It's clear that McClaren has been doing 'work' in recent years, trying to become England manager.

Despite coaching Middlesbrough, he has always been involved with the England coach, and as the old saying goes, 'there is no wind and no waves', it must be McClaren who is doing the work, and if he has no intention of being in the England coach, there will not be so many rumours.

This was further confirmed when the FA almost finalised that McClaren would take over the England squad. McClaren's results in leading Middlesbrough are not bad, but in front of the English coach, Middlesbrough is powerless to keep him, so he can only bless him.

For the rest of the season, it will be difficult for Middlesbrough to get any results, because McClaren, as the head coach, is not in the team.

With the memories of his past life, Zhang Yang clearly knows that McLaren's trip to the England team was not successful, he is not even as good as Eriksen, and even the conflicts within the team cannot be handled, a large group of stars have come forward to express their dissatisfaction, and the results of the England team have become very bad.

Then McLaren was forced to step down.

What happened to McLaren next, Zhang Yang is not very clear, but it is certainly not a big success, otherwise he would not be unclear.

Will this still be the case?

After coaching Millwall himself, the butterfly effect changed a lot of things, maybe McLaren will also be affected, and the coaching will become more successful, and he will not be so badly forced to step down? Or was it even worse than the original, and after a shorter period of coaching, he was forcibly dismissed?

Zhang Yang shook his head unconsciously.

McClaren has nothing to do with him, the important thing is that Millwall is in a very good situation and Chelsea have met Liverpool, and their game is certainly not going to be good.

Zhang Yang hopes that Chelsea will lose to Liverpool, even if Millwall ranks first in the league, he must admit that Chelsea is very difficult to deal with, if he can't bump into it, don't bump into it, but Liverpool is much easier to deal with, the main thing is that Liverpool is not as strong as Chelsea, the gap between Millwall and Liverpool is not so big, as long as he can play well, coupled with the use of supernatural abilities, it is relatively easy to beat Liverpool.

After the FA Cup semi-final draw, Mourinho left early without an interview, and the representatives of the other two teams only gave official interviews, and the media was not interested in them.

Zhang Yang was the last to leave.

At the time of leaving, an FA official who had a relationship with him at the reception came over and said 'congratulations', "You guys are lucky!" ”

"Thank you! I love today's results! ”

'Millwall was a real surprise and I'm looking forward to seeing you in the final.'

"You won't be disappointed."

————

Millwall FC was quick to find out the draw.

Everyone is happy.

Ebenezer found Zhang Yang in particular and said happily, "Is it Middlesbrough?" It's great that we made it to the finals! ”

"Not necessarily, Middlesbrough is not that good......

"Don't be modest." Ebenezer smiled, "I know this word, Chinese like to be modest, but I believe in your ability, you will definitely be able to lead the team to the final!" ”

"Well, thank you!"

Zhang Yang shrugged his shoulders and asked about the new boss, "How is it?" Is there any confirmation news? ”

Ebenezer's face became bitter, but he still nodded, "I've seen it, it's just in the morning." A fat man, he served as vice-chairman. ”

"Seen it?"

"You'll see you tomorrow."

“…?”

Ebenezer didn't explain too much, but a not very friendly comment also made Zhang Yang feel a little unpleasant. Ebenezer said that he would stay and continue to work, but the bitter expression on his face also knew that he would definitely be deprived of a lot of rights.

He won't have 'absolute power' anymore.

Zhang Yang didn't think it was anything, before Millwall was a small club, the chairman Gligory was old, and he didn't do much management, and all the rights were handed over to Ebenezer.

Now it's different.

Millwall have become a Premier League team, and they will definitely get unimaginable results this season, and the club's influence will continue to increase, and its market value and size will also increase, at least it will become a 'qualified' Premier League club.

Other clubs of the same level, such as Charlton, Blackburn, and Fulham, are not managed by one person, they will have a professional team, a real top, and there will also be directors, chairmen and managers of various departments, Ebenezer alone, it is impossible to continue to hold power, and it is not something he can do alone to increase large-scale work, not to mention, Millwall has also changed owners.

The new boss will not allow the 'old employee' to take over the power, which is equivalent to losing the rights he should have.

————

The next day, Zhang Yang met the 'fat man', the so-called 'new vice chairman' - Brand Wilkinson.

Wilkinson is an English surname, and Brand is also a European and American name, but Brand and Wilkinson are combined to form a West Asian with mixed blood.

When Zhang Yang saw Wilkinson, he felt very amazing, he had to sigh at the ability of the creator, I saw some photos of children on the Internet, the crystallization of Chinese and European and American blood, it will be quite cute and cute, and it will probably be a handsome man and a beautiful woman when she grows up, but the combination of Arab blood and European and American blood seems to be managed by Mr. Satan, and what it will look like when you grow up--

Ahem!

Zhang Yang felt that he should not judge people by their appearance, let alone give rise to racial discrimination and speculation about gods.

That's blasphemy, it's immoral.

"No wonder the beliefs of Arab countries do not allow intermarriage with foreign countries." Zhang Yang feels that he has helped the world find the reason.

That's a great feat!

However, Zhang Yang still has a little sympathy for Brand Wilkinson, according to a small amount of information from Ebenezer, Wilkinson grew up in Saudi Arabia, in terms of the beliefs of Arab countries, a mixed race of Arab and Western races, it is excellent luck to survive, probably because of the role played by his Western father or mother, but it must be quite difficult for Wilkinson to grow so big.

The last sentence, which is probably insulting elsewhere, would be taken for granted in the case of an Arab mulatto.

Of course, that's all in the past.

Brand-Wilkinson looks quite sympathetic, but he is not bad, with a warm smile on his face, and he is very enthusiastic about Zhang Yang, he does not talk about Prince Abdullah, but constantly praises Zhang Yang's achievements in leading the team.

"Millwall's current results are inseparable from your coaching ability."

'I know what Millwall was like two years ago and the team changed all because of you.

'Rest assured, the club will not let down those who have merit, and when we made the acquisition, we decided to keep you as head coach.

'It's clear that the salary you've received doesn't match what you've done, and when the season is over, the club will consider re-signing your contract.'

"If you have any opinions, you can tell me that from today onwards, I will stay in the club."

“……”

Zhang Yang was constantly praised and promised a lot of things.

Brand Wilkinson's enthusiasm made Zhang Yang feel good, and he couldn't understand the reason why Ebenezer called him impolite 'fat', but he could still imagine it in his heart.

The situation in Ebenezer is completely different.

Ebenezer is the former CEO of the club and previously held the reins of the club.

Wilkinson will serve as vice chairman, he represents Prince Abdullah, and did not choose to let Ebenezer leave, one is that he thinks that Ebenezer is very good; Second, Ebenezer knows the situation of the club very well and can help Wilkinson to master the club more easily.

The contact between the two will probably not be too pleasant.

Zhang Yang is the head coach of the team, he is very majestic in the club, but the influence is at the competitive level, and has nothing to do with internal rights, naturally there is no conflict with Wilkinson, but the better the results of leading the team, the happier the new owner will be, and Wilkinson, who is the spokesperson of the new owner, will definitely be very satisfied.

Ebenezer and Wilkinson have a direct conflict over rights.

Of course, it's useless to think about this, after all, it can't be stopped, after talking to Wilkinson, Zhang Yang is a little relieved, at least his work will not be affected, maybe after the season, there will be a big salary increase.

As long as the work is not affected, nothing else matters.

Millwall then continued to play in the league.

On 11 March, Millwall travelled to Bolton.

Bolton Wanderers played at home, they made a lot of preparations, the weather was sunny and cloudless, but the turf was very slippery, obviously sprinkled with water in advance, which also affected the players' performance a lot, and the coordination was also a little unsatisfactory.

Zhang Yang knew that in the original professional football game, the opponent could be 'shameless' to such a point.

Sprinkling water on the grass?

One sunny afternoon, the players played on a 'wetland', and the splash mixed with sludge caused the game to become a bit chaotic, which was probably the purpose of Bolton.

Bolton know that they don't have much chance of winning when they play normally, the pitch changes, the opponent's performance suffers, and their chances will increase.

But at the end of the game, Bolton boss Alleydes couldn't laugh when Josh Simpson's direct shot helped Millwall score the only goal of the game.

Zhang Yang had the last laugh.

After the game, Aledes came over with a wry smile to shake hands, Zhang Yang didn't know how to face this thick-skinned guy, the good news is that no one was injured in the game, otherwise there would be no joy in victory.

When facing media reporters, Zhang Yang still 'saved' face for Bolton and Aletheez, did not mention the poor field problems, but said, "The victory is good news, we can continue to maintain the league points advantage." I want to keep winning, there are still 10 rounds of the league and I tell everyone to keep going and treat every game as if it were the first round of the league and not let up at the end! ”

Zhang Yang did not talk about 'winning the championship' directly in front of the media, and this passage was regarded by the media as a 'declaration of winning the championship'.

Bolton Wanderers at home were overlooked.

It wasn't until Zhang Yang left that the reporters remembered that there was another Aledeis, but they got the news material they wanted, and Aledece was ignored by most reporters.

Probably not many people will listen to what the loser says, right?

————

A week later, Millwall host Portsmouth.

So far this season, Portsmouth's results have been terrible, they are fourth from bottom in the league, only one point more than West Bromwich Albion in third-from-bottom, and their heads have been shrouded in a relegation crisis, and many media have voiced that "Portsmouth is about to be relegated".

Portsmouth's poor results are also destined for a lot to happen to the club.

After Christmas, Portsmouth finished 17th and next faced Arsenal and Manchester United, and at a crucial moment, the Portsmouth hierarchy immediately decided to sack manager Alai Palin.

Perrin, who took charge of Portsmouth in April, have won just four of their 24 league games in eight months since taking charge, and have lost patience even with their relegation last season.

Now Portsmouth's head coach is former assistant coach Jordan.

Jordan's Portsmouth has risen slightly, but it is not obvious, and the league ranking has only risen one place so far, which is quite a bad situation.

Portsmouth is scrambling to find a 'firefighting coach'.

At this point in time, Portsmouth's quality can be imagined, and they will face Millwall away, and the result is predestined before the start.

The final score, still surprising - 6 to 1!

Millwall scored four goals in half time, and then in the second half, two main players were replaced in a row, and there were still two goals, and Portsmouth also used the last time of 'Millwall undefended' to score a goal to slightly save face.

After the game, the whole team talked about the big win and returned to the club excitedly.

Everyone else just left,

Zhang Yang met with the new vice chairman again, Brand Wilkinson.

Brand Wilkinson was still smiling, and when he saw Zhang Yang, he got straight to the point, "I watched the game on TV, we performed very well, I really regret not going to Neil Stadium!" ”

"But there will be a chance. I'm going to watch the game live, and I'll let the fans know me by the way, Zhang, you can help. I know you're a fan of prestige! ”
