Chapter IV First Meeting

Nan Xiao's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day and struck Shen Chao's heart without any difference, and after a few seconds of short circuit break, Shen Chao came back to his senses and said, "What...... What, are.you.kidding.me?! He subconsciously scratched his cheeks, and almost choked out the Coke he had drunk a long time ago. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Nan Xiao disposed of the remaining Coke, and threw the Coke can into the trash can with the same posture with his left hand as Shen Chao just now. “Yse! Answer.ball! ”

"Superman, I've given you a chance, how about it? Do you want to fight side by side with my brother and me? ”

Nan Xiao raised the corners of his mouth, raised his chin slightly, and said to Shen Chao; He knew that these words had an incomparably huge temptation for Shen Chao, and the legend of making a deal with the devil was nothing more than that.

"Are you sure you're not kidding me?" Although Shen Chao wanted to agree, he was really afraid that Nan Xiao was teasing him, you must know that it is not terrible to have no hope, but what is terrible is the disappointment after the hope is dashed.

"When did you become such a mother-in-law, when did my Nan Xiao lie to my brother? Hurry up and give a sentence, love doesn't come, don't come and get out! Nan Xiao turned his face away and feigned anger.

A smile finally appeared on Shen Chao's face, and then it turned into a laugh, and finally he almost laughed out of his tears, pointed at Nan Xiao, and said with a pretended face: "Dude, one day, you will cheer for today's choice, the combination of Nan Xiao and Shen Chao will definitely sweep the UK, let the world see a dragon that has been sleeping for many years in the football world, and it will open its eyes and dominate the storm from now on; Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, Arsene Wenger, Jurgen Klopp, Pochettino, to hell with them, the Premier League will be ours, it will be our ......"

Shen Chao was like an orator, impassioned, and indignant, and when he was talking about the most excited, he suddenly frowned, blinked his eyes at Nan Xiao and asked, "Which club are we coaching?" ”

The red Lamborghini was like a flame galloping on the way from London to Sunderland, a small city in Tyinville in northeastern England, accompanied by music, Nan Xiao and Shen Chao's emotions were also boiling to the extreme, the two opened the car window and sang indulgently, it was the song "Dream Chasing Pure Heart" that chased dreams and was full of energy.

"Running forward, facing cold eyes and ridicule, how can we feel the vastness of life without suffering, fate cannot make us kneel and beg for mercy, even if blood is sprinkled in our arms; Keep running, with the pride of a child, how can you see the sparkle of life if you don't stick to the end, it's better to burn than to linger, one day it will sprout again......"

Sunderland's proximity to the North Sea makes it one of the UK's up-and-coming cities with a mild climate all year round.

Nan Xiao and Shen Chao are both in suits, although they are not too expensive, they still raise their temperament to a higher level; Shen Chao and Nan Xiao are about the same height. But it was obviously much stronger than him, and the two straightened their waists and walked side by side, which really felt like a piece of power.

After about five hours of driving, when Nan Xiao and Shen Chao arrived at the Stadium of Light on the banks of the Weir River, the sun was completely gone; Nan Xiao looked at the main venue of the Premier League team "Black Cat" Sunderland in front of him, his heart was already turbulent, and Shen Chao, who was standing next to him, was also intoxicated by this fantasy scene, and he was deeply trapped.

“Because.of.you,In.ever.stray.too.far.from.the.sidewalk……”

The mobile phone rang suddenly, pulling Nan Xiao and Shen Chao's thoughts back to reality from the distant vision, Nan Xiao glanced at the caller ID, and the three words Nan Yicheng immediately came into view.

"Dad." Nan Xiao put the phone to his ear.

"Boy, the whole club is waiting for you, what's the matter, are you late for the first meeting?"

"Superman and I are already outside the stadium, and we'll be in right away."

Nan Xiao hung up the phone, looked ahead, and said, "Director Shen, are you ready?" ”

Shen Chao straightened his collar, held his head high, and said, "Coach Nan, always be ready!" ”

At a round table with a radius of about three meters, 14 men in suits and leather shoes sat together, most of them in their thirties, and only two of them still looked childish.

Everyone who attended the meeting arrived, Nan Yicheng coughed lightly, finished the opening remarks in fluent English, explained the relevant matters related to the reception of Sunderland Club, and ceremoniously introduced the new head coach and new technical director of the club to the original club staff present, and Nan Xiao and Shen Chao also met the staff present under the introduction of Nan Yicheng.

Most of the people who came to this meeting today were managers from various departments of the team, such as the coach of the U21 youth team, Robbie, who was sitting next to Nanyicheng. Stockdale and the team's chief team physician, Peter Stockdale. Brand, followed by assistant coach Paul. Braitwell, Chief Scout Steven. Houston, U18 youth team coach Chris Brown. Blake, Head of Academy. McNamee, as well as the team's 5 scouts.

Although the people present had heard in advance the news that the new head coach was a young Chinese, but now that they saw it with their own eyes, they still felt a little unreasonable, although they all tried their best to hide this emotion in their hearts, but Nan Xiao and Shen Chao still easily detected their psychology.

But Nan Xiao has been prepared for these for a long time, and it was the first in the world to become the head coach of the world's top league club at his age, so he will naturally be under unspeakable pressure, among which cold words and distrust are just the tip of the iceberg, if you encounter this difficulty, you will be afraid, then it is better to roll up and go home as soon as possible.

So after a burst of applause, Nan Xiao ushered in his first public speech in the club. He straightened the tie around his neck, cleared his throat, and said in English, which was not very fluent: "Good evening, seniors, first of all, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Nan Xiao, I am from China, and I am 22 years old this year. It is an honour to be the head coach of Sunderland, a club with a long history, and I will treat this hard-won job with the fullest enthusiasm in the future, and I vow to do my best to lead this hard-working team to greater achievements......"

There was no prepared speech in advance, nor any false official words, Nan Xiao just said what he wanted to say in his heart for a long time in front of everyone word for word, without any flowery rhetoric or unrealistic mirage, only the most real ideals and the most sincere feelings; Perhaps moved by Nan Xiao's sincere words, after this speech, the staff around the round table gave a far warmer applause than the last time, Nan Xiao saw everyone's actions, and some tears flashed in his eyes.

The meeting lasted about an hour, and there were supposed to be only 9 people attending the meeting, but at Nan Xiao's request, 5 ordinary scouts from the team also attended the meeting; At the end of the meeting, Nan Xiao called out to Chief Scout Steven. Houston and his five staff members held a small meeting.

After shaking hands in turn, the other department managers left the conference room one after another, Nan Yicheng was the last to leave, before leaving, he said to Nan Xiao: "Boy, I didn't expect your eloquence to be good, it seems that I really underestimated you too much before, and I really hope that your coaching ability and your eloquence will be compared, and you will not fall behind." ”

Nan Xiao replied to his father with a smile: "There are still many things you haven't discovered, and you will definitely be more and more impressed with me in the future." ”
