Chapter 3: The Break (The First Vote Request, A Wave)
Di Matteo's sudden resignation at such a time stunned everyone in the locker room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Haolong knows that the two are irreconcilable in terms of football concepts, and it is only a matter of time before they break up, but he still didn't expect him to bring it up on such an occasion regardless of the interests of the team, and he was a little angry in his heart, and his tone was slightly unkind.
"Mr. Di Matteo, are you sure? Are you sure you want to back off at this time? ”
"Yes, Mr. President, I'm pretty sure, I've never even been so sure, I've been thinking about this for a long time and I don't think you need a manager at all with how enthusiastic you are about this team." Di Matteo still calmly said the words that had been buried in his heart for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would make the contradiction public, and Li Haolong was a little dazed.
"Oh, no, Di Matteo, are you crazy? How can you say such a thing at this time, it's so unprofessional! Tom couldn't help but sigh as he listened.
"I'm sorry, Tom, just forgive me for being willful and unprofessional, I think Mr. Chairman is too concerned about the team's affairs, although he doesn't interfere in the team's affairs explicitly, I still feel a lot of pressure, and I don't want to work under the pressure of such an environment anymore, and then my agent will discuss the follow-up with you. Dear players, it's just my personal choice, I hope you can understand me, I may have been a little impulsive today, but I don't want to spoil the atmosphere of the team, I wish you all the best in the next games. With that, Di Matteo walked straight out of the dressing room.
The atmosphere in the locker room was not good, and Di Matteo's departure fell into a dead silence, and Tom saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly stood up.
"Our manager may be in a bad mood for the time being, I will go to him right away, and tomorrow he will definitely come to his senses and lead everyone back to victory!"
"No...... Tom, don't look for it, I accept his resignation. ”
"Oh no, he's crazy, don't you ...... It is necessary to see what time it is. Tom was anxious when he heard this.
'No, I'm not crazy, he's probably a great guy and we all have to thank him for his contribution to the team for so long, but I don't think he's the kind of manager we need, he's not making good use of the resources at his disposal, it's his mistake and I don't need to talk about it now...... Now we have to look forward, after all, he no longer needs us to leave us. ”
"So what now? The play-offs are coming soon. ”
"I've --- decided that now --- --- me to take over the rest of the game!"
Li Haolong said the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time word by word, not only Tom and many players, but also Xiaoxue and Han Shao, who were around him, were taken aback, even if they knew it earlier, they didn't expect him to say it at this moment. Tom's lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but Xiaoxue hurriedly interrupted him.
"Let's go to the office and say what we have to say, don't be stunned, hurry up and take a shower, the physiotherapy team is still waiting."
Tom didn't say anything more, walked out of the locker room quickly, Li Haolong continued: "The club will definitely take care of the head coach's matter, everyone can come to train as usual tomorrow, no matter what, we are all professionals, these little episodes will definitely not become a burden for us, on the contrary, I think this is an opportunity for us to completely get rid of the current atmosphere, good luck to everyone, I will go first." ”
After that, Li Haolong also went out, leaving only a room full of mixed players, the transformation of Mr. Chairman to head coach? It's crazy to think about!
In the chairman's office, Tom's roar was filled, Li Haolong sat quietly and listened, while Xiaoxue and Han Shao watched the two of them uneasily.
"Oh, no, Lee, you were premeditated, I should have thought about it when I signed up for coach training at the FA, I shouldn't have listened to your nonsense. The owner of the team becomes the head coach of the team, this is not a football manager game, and the Villa team is not a toy for rich boys like you! No, no, never! I must not let you be the head coach of the team, it's crazy! ”
"Dear Tom, calm down, I didn't say I wanted to be the head coach, my certificate is not the head coach of a professional team at the moment."
"Oh, by the way, you're the FIFA A-level, that ...... So what do you mean by that? ”
'I'm not a manager, but I'm going to be part of the coaching staff and actually take control of the team.
"You madman, does it make a difference? Isn't that what you're trying to do? I can't understand what you're doing, you're the owner of the team and you're only 22 years old and you want to be the manager of a Championship club! ”
"Tom, it's the Premier League!"
“……”
'I firmly believe I can lead the team to the Premier League.
"Why do you say that, with your youthful vigor, your near-zero coaching experience, or the checkbook you have in your hand? Teams don't have money to play with. ”
"Why? With my 16 years of football experience, with my accumulation of several years of coach training, with my better knowledge of what the players are thinking now, with my knowing what the team needs, with my firm belief, I believe I can! No precedent? Then I'll create! No experience? Accumulated in actual combat, to put it disrespectfully, even if I take the Villa team to practice for a year, it is completely fine, I have this condition! Li Haolong was annoyed by Tom's somewhat contemptuous questioning, and he rushed to speak.
"How can you do that, do you think you can do whatever you want if you buy the team? This is England, not China, you need to be responsible for all the Villa fans, you are simply fascist in doing so! ”
"I was responsible for the Villa fans to make this decision, you can see the way Di Matteo coaches, it's not bad things behind his back, how do you think he is doing, as a boss I have the right to accept the resignation of an employee who does not meet the club's standards!"
"Then you can hire other coaches, why do you want to do it yourself!"
'I think I'm the best person for the position, the players are all hand-picked by me, the style of building the team is also mine, I understand the technical and tactical needs of the players, I can help them, why don't I try it myself and give it to a stranger.'
"Okay, Mr. President, you have extremely strong self-confidence, you are not very calm in your mind now, I think I will definitely not be able to convince you now, I will give you a day, if you still insist on your ideas tomorrow, I'm sorry, I also resign, I can't work with a madman, please forgive me for being direct!" Seeing that he couldn't convince the young man in front of him, who was usually very soft but extremely tough, Tom sighed softly, made a decision, and walked out of the office directly.
There was a group of club staff standing timidly outside the door, their faces were full of uneasiness, Tom didn't greet anyone, Xiaoxue went out to persuade everyone, closed the door gently, and looked at Li Haolong who was sitting in the chair with an excited face with a complicated expression.
