Chapter 80: The Troubles of Celebrities

After Leeds United's comeback win at home to West Bromwich Albion 3-1, Simon Grayson had a bad feeling.

It is a good thing if it is normal to be the first goal of the opponent at home and then reverse the game, which can represent the team has a tenacious fighting spirit, but this is not the case with the current "Young Guards", they are already plagued by rumors, when West Bromwich Albion took the lead in breaking the goal, the whole team's defensive system is in a state of chaos, which is not good!

On the evening of the game, he held a small coaching staff meeting and brought his assistant Eric Black and Academy director Chris Sarri to his office.

After pouring coffee for Eric Black and Chris Sully, Simon Grayson sat down and smiled and said to Chris Sully: "Chris, how is it in our academy right now? Did we gain any genius this year? I don't want to be as good as Shaq to catch up with Jonny and Ben. ”

"Nope!" Chris Sully first gave an answer like a thief, and then couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "Simon, are you too greedy?" For a genius like Shaq, it's our luck to get one in ten years! Even players like Jonny and Ben don't have them every year! ”

"Oh? No? Then Chris, you're a derelict youth manager! I remember you old boy isn't quite capable? How? Lost sight this year? We haven't caught a single good seedling? Chris, we're a super team in Leeds now, you have to do a good job in the academy! ”

Simon Grayson provoked Chris Sully half-jokingly and half-seriously, and then the academy director was dissatisfied: "Huh! Simon, you're underestimating me too much! In fact, I still picked three buildable materials this time, a forward midfielder, a back and a left back! ”

"Oh? Tell me about it! ”

Simon Graysenden was interested, and even Eric Black straightened his seat, they are not rookies in the football circle, and naturally understand that the fundamental thing about a football club is not how strong the team's first team is, but how many players the team's academy can send to the first team.

It is not a long-term solution to get good results by throwing money at Manchester City like the "Blue Moon", they are now called "nouveau riche" and "local tyrants", even if the "Blues" Chelsea dominated a few years ago, they also had a Terry in the team who was cultivated by themselves!

A pillar of the team that has been cultivated by oneself is often not only a technical and tactical benefit for a team, but more importantly, the player will become the spiritual leader and banner of the team, just like Terry of Chelsea, Ryan Giggs of Manchester United, Gerrard Gerrard of Liverpool, etc.

Speaking of the young players under his command, Chris Sarri became serious and said slowly: "In fact, there are four players in our youth team who can have high hopes, including three sixteen-year-old guys who are what I said about a forward midfielder, a back and a left back, but they have just arrived, and it is impossible to provide any help to the first team for the time being, but the Swedish goalscorer Philipp Pifkowski that we bought last year, this little guy is now eighteen years old, Even if you don't ask me, you have to recommend him to you after a while, because he has no room for improvement in the youth team, and it depends on you whether you want to keep it for yourself or go out on loan. ”

Simon Grayson bowed slightly: "Oh? I remember that Filip was a little guy who had spent £4 million to poach from Blackburn Rovers in the first place, and I wanted to raise him to help the team get back to the Premier League, but now ...... Well, this way, Chris, you go back and let him train with the first team first, and I'll see how it goes. ”

"Yes! By the way, Simon, Philip is not just a goalscorer now, I think he seems to be more suitable for playing as a winger, this kid is better at dribbling and passing than he is. ”

"Don't worry, I'll take a good look at him."

Simon Grayson nodded in agreement: "Okay, now let's talk about the problems the team is facing right now, the three of us have to figure out a solution to the problem today...... You know, there are so many rumours about the team right now, there are transfer rumours about Tevez, Shaq, Jonny, Ben and even rumours about the team changing hands, which has affected the morale and morale of the team and we have to find a way to change that. ”

Simon Grayson said it categorically, this is also his thoughts, it is not so easy to lead a team to the top of the English Premier League standings, and even many coaches have never had such an opportunity in their lifetimes, the "Young Guards" have been at the top of the table for two weeks, at this time Simon Grayson would be hell if he didn't have some ideas, but he wouldn't expect his team to finally qualify for the Champions League, It would be content to qualify for next season's Europa League, but that would require Leeds United to pick up as many points as possible and keep themselves high in the table.

But football is never just about winning or losing on the field, off-field factors are also very deciding, and no team can guarantee that they can still achieve the ideal result in the face of their own trouble.

The three of them immediately began to discuss, Eric Blake from a competitive point of view, put forward the proposal to train the players to ensure the competitive state, Chris Sarri because of the contact with young players, the psychological analysis of the players is more in place, he suggested to Simon Grayson to talk openly and honestly, let them understand that working hard to win the game is not only for the team, but also for themselves, even if they transfer next season they need enough capital to be reused in the new team.

Simon Grayson thinks that the advice of both men is very valuable, but he thinks more about it, he thinks that if Leeds United is really bought by a consortium, the players will probably be treated better, of course, this is for the people who are really valuable and can eventually stay in the team, and everything is still just rumors, in order to keep the team in good shape, it is necessary to start together from many aspects.

While Simon Grayson is worried about the fate of his team, Zach Thompson is worried about his own reputation.

With Zach Thompson selected for the "Three Lions" and firmly in the main position, he has now played 12 games for England and scored seven goals, and his Leeds United team has been at the top of the English Premier League table for some time this season, which has made Zach Thompson's reputation even more famous.

Zach Thompson's fame is big, his business contracts have increased, his agent Glenn Oakes used Zach Thompson's tough image to win him the endorsement of Philips razor, and he is also negotiating contracts with Beckham's brand perfume and underwear, "heartthrob" Beckham's fame in England is indeed big, and he himself is also promoting his brand, but the billionaire superstar has also begun to let go of his hands and feet to build his own business empire, and he is interested in the "Young Guard." "Rising Star...... Sark!

In addition to talking about some commercial brands, Zach Thompson was also arranged by Glenn Oxley to attend some commercial events to increase his popularity and increase his commercial value.

Coupled with the fact that Zach Thompson still has to train every day and deal with frequent schedules, his schedule is full, and if it weren't for his powerful and magical "black foot" system, Zach Thompson doubts that his competitive level can improve any further.

is busy every day, Zach Thompson may not be able to eat hot meals after returning to his and Melissa's love nest, because with Zack Thompson's fame, his girlfriend Melissa with a beautiful surname has also received widespread attention, she was favored by the "Sun", and wanted to take a set of photo photos for her at a price of 100,000 pounds, Melissa is not very interested in money, but this caring girl still accepted the invitation sent by the "Sun", She plans to show her beauty in front of more people, and most importantly, Melissa has donated all her remuneration to the welfare home where her mother served, and there is a media and a TV station to interview Melissa, and now she is no more idle than Zach Thompson.

If it weren't for taking care of Melissa's dedication to love, Zach Thompson, a guy who is still very traditional in his bones, would never let his girlfriend show his face, his soul is the soul of a Chinese, a little machismo still exists, and now Zach Thompson is really not short of money, a year ago this time he was still struggling for a high-paying contract, and now if he wants, there will definitely be a big team waving a check to give him money.

Zach Thompson is not averse to transferring to a giant team to play, he does not have a strong sense of belonging to Leeds United, and he used to be an out-and-out "giant control", Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan, AC Milan, these teams, in fact, Zach Thompson likes, he is not a loyal fan of a certain team, which is no different from many fans in China today.

But now Zach Thompson will definitely not transfer, because he is not ready, it looks like he is very good to go to the big team, but if he can't play the main team after he goes, how can Zach Thompson, who still needs n more skill points to increase his surname value, improve himself?

Whenever Zach Thompson tinkers with pots and pans to cook, he can't help but sigh, fame brings him more than just benefits, feeling the loneliness of being alone in an empty room, Zach Thompson has already felt the troubles of being a celebrity, he really can't help himself!
