As an international star, Bergkamp certainly can't just be an ordinary coach.

Will he be the external image representative of the football school, hold some external publicity work, and can also hold management positions in the school, such as vice principal? The principal of the football school can only be Wan Sheng himself, even if it is honorary.

He decided to invest in the construction of a football school for the purpose of becoming the principal.

Wan Sheng decided to come down and went to Bergkamp.

They made an appointment at the club restaurant.

Two cups of coffee, two steaks, and one dessert......

The atmosphere seemed like a date, and it was no wonder that Bergkamp asked for no reason, "Wansheng, what are you going to say?" Is there something you can't say in the office? ”

Two big men, like a date, Bergkamp felt awkward.

Wan Sheng sighed, "You don't understand the mood!" ”

Bergkamp was drinking coffee, almost squirting out, he glared at Wan Sheng, and a little helpless, "If there's anything, just say it directly." ”

"Dennis, you should know that my group of companies is investing in a football school in China." Wan Sheng smiled, and then became much more serious.

"Huh? I know! Bergkamp was stunned, he didn't expect Wan Sheng to talk about this.

Wan Sheng continued, "I want to ask you, are you interested? ”

"Not interested! I think it's a loss-making deal, and besides, I don't have any money. Bergkamp said decisively.

Wan Sheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I'm asking if you're interested in working there." ”

In order to prevent Bergkamp from feeling that he was 'kicking' him away, and doubting his ability to do his job, thinking that he did not need him to continue as an assistant coach, Wan Sheng explained directly, specifically mentioning the importance of going to work at the football school, and mentioning that he would ask Tagore Wan Group to give him a long-term contract no less than his current salary.

Listen to Bergkamp think.

Wan Sheng was not in a hurry, but said, "That's the way it is. You don't have to rush to make a decision, you can go back and discuss it with Henlita. I want you to help me at least until Christmas! ”

――――

The conversation between Wan Sheng and Bergkamp was only known to the two of them, but for a whole day after that, Bergkamp was worried all the time, obviously because he had something on his mind.

Bergkamp isn't good at hiding emotions.

Diamares, who led the team to train together, quickly asked with concern, Bergkamp thought about it, or talked to Diamares, and asked him to keep it secret, after all, Bergkamp is currently a member of the coaching staff. It's not always good to let too many people know about it.

After hearing this, Diamares was a little envious of Bergkamp, "It's better to be a big star, I don't even have a choice." ”

"Oh?"

Bergkamp didn't expect that Diamares would say this about what annoyed him, and he asked, "Why do you say that?" I think you're better than I do, and the players approve of you. ”

"That's because I have to do it well. Dennis. "I'm never a professional footballer, I'm not famous at all, and no one asks me to shoot commercials." It's my job to lead the team to train, I have to support my family, and I have to earn a lot of money to make sure my family has a good life, so I have to do this job well. If you want to do something else. You're going to have to start all over again, and it's definitely not as much money as this job, you know? Dennis. ”

Bergkamp nodded in understanding. But I still don't understand what Diamares is trying to say.

Diamares explained, "You're different. You're a big star, and even if you leave the coaching staff, it's easy to find a job elsewhere and start as a professional manager. But I suppose you don't like to live and work like Wansheng? ”

"Yes, I don't like it, he's too busy." Bergkamp nodded.

"You have a lot of options, as long as it's football-related, it's easy to get all kinds of invitations. You don't have to worry about job opportunities, so I envy you. ”

Bergkamp wondered, "But what does this have to do with what Wan Sheng said?" ”

'Dennis, I know you don't like to make changes, like you used to be at Arsenal and you had a deep affection for it, but it's normal for a professional player to move, you do it for many years and then you retire before you leave. Now, you're working with me, if it weren't for that, you'd definitely choose to stay on the coaching staff, work with Wansheng, with me, for five or ten years? Or even longer? I'm right, even if there are other options that seem like better along the way, you won't leave. ”

Bergkamp thought for a moment, then finally nodded, and he had to admit that Diamares was right.

Since he was a child, he likes to be content with the status quo and does not like the environment to change, so even if there were some good options, he still insisted on staying at Arsenal, and now after becoming a coach, he does not want to change again, he just hopes to follow Wansheng as an assistant coach.

"I don't think you need to worry about anything at all, Wansheng has arranged it for you. If you go to China and pursue a new life, your family will definitely want to go there, and you will get a big contract, have better job opportunities, earn more than you have now, but be more laid-back. ”

"Wansheng is a person who thinks carefully about all aspects. If he hadn't thought it through, he wouldn't have told you, so what are you worried about? Everything is arranged, and your life will change for the better. ”

With that, Diamares walked away and continued to watch the team train.

Bergkamp stayed where he was, thinking about it, and after a while, he burst out laughing.

Bergkamp suddenly felt that he was really asking for trouble, just like Diamares said, if he is an ordinary person, there is no other choice, in the face of this kind of job opportunity, he will definitely accept it without hesitation, and he is a former star, but what is the difference between him and ordinary people after retirement?

So in reality, he simply had no other choice.

――――

Convincing Bergkamp to work in China is just a small episode of Manchester City's training life.

Two days later, Manchester City welcomed the fourth round of the Champions League group stage at the Manchester Stadium when they hosted Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers.

Rangers are currently second in the group on goal difference, and the draw at home to Manchester City was a surprise to everyone, and perhaps even they themselves felt a dream result.

They went through three group stage rounds, with a home win over Bundesliga champions Stuttgart in the first round, a big away win over Ligue 1 champions Lyon in the second round and a home draw at Premier League champions Manchester City in the third round.

Ligue 1, Bundesliga, and the Premier League, the three championship teams, none of them were able to take advantage of Rangers when playing against Rangers.

Some British media said that "Glasgow Rangers have surpassed the top five European leagues......

Just kidding, of course.

In any case, Glasgow Rangers' results are impressive, such an outstanding performance also makes Glasgow Rangers full of confidence in themselves, after drawing with Manchester City in the last round, they have played three teams with 2 wins and 1 draw, which can be called a 'brilliant' result, and also gives them 4 points more than third-placed Lyon.

They are even more confident of qualifying from the group.

Despite the away game, Rangers boss Smith was tough: "Manchester City are strong, they have shown their strength at the Ebrox Stadium before, and they have just set a record of 50 games unbeaten in the Premier League, but that is not a reason for us to give up. We've shown that we have what it takes to do well in the Champions League, so we're going to give it our all. ”

Smith then said, half-jokingly, half-sarcastically, "I would have liked that City would underestimate us, so it wouldn't be strange that we took the three points from Manchester Stadium......"

Manchester City certainly don't underestimate Rangers.

The last round of the group stage is still vivid, when Glasgow Rangers defended the goal with a tough defense, and the whole Manchester City team was very unwilling, that may be the impact of not sending all the main lineup, and there are also problems with the play of away adaptation, but in any case, Glasgow Rangers held on to the draw and successfully took a point from Manchester City.

For Manchester City, the draw with Rangers can almost be described as 'shame'!

It's not about looking down on Glasgow Rangers, it's a fact.

No matter how powerful Glasgow Rangers are, they are just a Scottish team, and Manchester City is the champion of the Premier League, the gap between the two leagues, the gap between the two teams, coupled with the historical factors of the contradiction between England and Scotland, in short, Manchester City's draw with Glasgow Rangers is regarded as a 'shame', not only the whole Manchester City team, but also the British media will look at it this way, they don't think that the Scottish giants are qualified to challenge the Premier League title.

So this game, the British media paid a lot of attention, and they all hoped that Manchester City could teach this Scottish 'madman' a lesson.

There were plenty of voices in support of Manchester City before the game.

After Rangers boss Smith's remarks, Wan Sheng was quick to respond.

"Thank you for the reminder. We've already drawn a game, so of course we won't underestimate them and we'll give it our all in the game. "For us, it's not a big problem to qualify from the group, and it doesn't matter if we have these three points, but considering that Scotland and England are both part of the United Kingdom, we can also be considered 'brother teams' in the Champions League, so I think we need to use the victory to wake them up and let them know that not all teams can play well in the Champions League." ”

"After they learn their lesson, maybe they can perform better in the next two games against Stuttgart and Lyon......

After hearing Wan Sheng's words, the reporters who interviewed were stunned for a long time, and then they all burst out laughing.

Although many people know that this Chinese has a sharp tongue, they did not expect that it could be so sharp, what does he mean by this? The translation is, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, we are completely thinking about you, and we want to educate you with victory, so that you can perform better in the future." ”

To put it simply, "Win you for your own good" or "Hit you for your own good"...... It's no surprise that Rangers boss Smith was angry and vomited blood when he heard this. (To be continued.) )
