Chapter 51: Bringing in the Head Coach
Until the next day, the outside world's verbal and written criticism of Wansheng still did not stop, some media who did not come to interview Wansheng also got the news, followed by the report, of course, these media that follow the crowd do not have much influence, the really influential big media will not do this kind of thing, if there is big news, they will interview and report it as soon as possible, even if some news is not interviewed, they will not follow the competitors to report. £◆
However, the Daily Mirror's report, coupled with the continuous reporting of these 'follow-up' small media, adds up to a lot of influence, and the FA has taken note of it.
To calm the time, the FA press officer was quick to come forward and say that an interim team had been set up to investigate the post-match press conferences of Derby County and West Bromwich Albion.
The FA is familiar with this kind of thing.
Soon an FA official came to Derby County and was called to ask a few reporters at the venue, and after arriving at the Derby County club, he also went directly to the training ground to find Wan Sheng and asked him to answer a few short questions.
That's the sadness of the little club.
If there are influential big clubs, these small officials of the FA want to meet the head coach of the team directly, it is not a door at all, and they can only start to investigate from other aspects, but the small clubs do not have such influence, because the rights of the FA have nothing to do with them (most of the members of the English Football Association come from various club officials), so the officials of the FA are not afraid of offending Derby County at all, and they directly found Wansheng when they entered the club.
The FA official was also very polite, after all, Wan Sheng is the manager of Derby County, and in any case, he has a higher status in the football world than him.
To make an analogy, Wan Sheng is a regional tycoon, and the FA officials are just a small civil servant of the country, although the small civil servant represents the official, but the status is certainly not as high as the rich. The influence of the rich in politics is small, but the rich are rich!
The status of the two is similar to the above analogy, in short, the FA official is very polite, and he also complimented two sentences of Wansheng's leading results, and then went straight to the topic and asked about the truth of the news conference and the outside media reports.
Wan Sheng didn't deny anything, there were so many people present at the time, it was useless for him to deny it, but the necessary distinction still had to be done, which would be related to the FA's punishment of him.
"Those reporters are so annoying, they were the ones who insulted me to my face first, and you can look it up." The title of 'Dictator' is what the media have come up to discredit Derbyshire and my own public image. ”
The FA official recorded all of Wansheng's words, then asked two more innocuous questions and left directly.
The FA soon officially informed the Derbyshire club that he had been banned for two weeks for his inappropriate remarks at the press conference after the seventh round of league games, and that he had not been allowed to attend press conferences for six consecutive league games, and that the Derby County club had been fined £5,000 for it.
This penalty. Not too high and not too low.
A two-week ban would mean that Wan Sheng would miss two league games and a League Cup match, and a fine of £5,000 would be nothing for a small League One club. It's nothing at all, it's just a week's salary for an average player.
Not allowed to attend press conferences for six consecutive league rounds?
Wan Sheng smiled at this punishment, many times he didn't want to attend the press conference to face the reporters who blindly slandered himself and the Derby County club. It's not a penalty at all, it's even a bit of a reward (FA rules, under normal circumstances. Managers of clubs above the third professional league must attend the press conference).
Still, the ban is a problem.
Derby County are now second in the league, level on points with Norwich, just one goal difference, and with every game likely to change the table, it is clear that Wansheng's command is very important to the team's game.
So the next day, Derby County appealed, and their reason was that Wan Sheng's inappropriate words and deeds were provoked by reporters, and in addition, Wan Sheng is still very young, and it is normal for young people to be impulsive.
The second point is also a reason.
Whether it is a professional football circle or a professional coaching circle, they all take care of young people, in the professional football circle, young players can be forgiven for making many mistakes on the field, and it is understandable to do something impulsively, in the professional coaching circle, the FA has always hoped to cultivate excellent young coaches in their own country, because England is a country, there are very few outstanding young coaches who come forward, including the English league teams and the English national team, there are almost no Englishmen who are famous big-name coaches.
Of course, the focus is on the country.
Wan Sheng is not English, but the FA held a small meeting temporarily, and still passed the appeal application of Derby County, after all, Wan Sheng is only a little more than twenty-six years old, even if he is not English, he is too young, and as a result, the ban of half a month has become a ten-day ban.
Then the Derby County club could only smile wryly.
In fact, there is no difference between a half-month ban and a ten-day ban on their schedule, because all three matches are played over ten days, and the remaining five days, during the break in the league, they don't play at all.
The FA will not consider this, because the ban they began to distribute is based on time, so the 'reduced punishment' can only be based on the time limit, and the punishment of the ban still has a legal basis, because Wan Sheng was punished for inappropriate words and deeds at the press conference, which has nothing to do with the game itself, so it should not be banned on a game basis
Wan Sheng was surprised that he was banned, because he didn't think that he would be banned for anything at the press conference, Mourinho in his previous life had to put his mouth cannon at almost every game, and all kinds of mouth cannons annoyed opponents, referees' associations, and FAs, and he had never been banned, and now he was banned as soon as he opened his mouth?
Then he thought that it was only 2oo3 years now, and he was relieved.
At this point in time, the FA's various terms for coaches and players are not very perfect, and if it comes next year, he will be fined even if he directly criticizes the FA in front of hundreds of reporters.
(Note: In 2oo4, the English second league was restructured, and the FA's regulations were also adjusted.) The penalty clause for coaches and players is more detailed, and for inappropriate remarks that have nothing to do with the game itself, only fines will be imposed, and there will be no more bans)
But the ban is already a certainty.
Wan Sheng didn't care too much about it, and was only banned for ten days. A top-tier manager, if he hasn't been suspended, is definitely problematic.
Looking at these names, which one of Ferguson, Mourinho, Capello, Benitez, or Mancini has not been suspended?
In particular, Portuguese Jose Mourinho, who will become the head coach of the European Champions in a year's time, is the most famous manager of the next decade. He's been banned too many times to count.
When coaching Inter Milan, Inter Milan met Sampdoria in the league, and Mourinho repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee during the game, and made an indecent gesture similar to "handcuffs", and was banned for three games, after the game, Mourinho said a classic sentence arrogantly, "Even if I am banned for half a season, my team can win the championship!"
Of course, Derby County can't compare to Inter Milan at the time.
But after all, a 10-day ban is not a big deal. Wan Sheng didn't take it to heart at all, and more importantly, even if he did, he would be banned. Nothing can change that fact.
He began to seriously study the three opponents for the next ten days, no, two opponents should be said.
In the eighth and ninth rounds of the league, Derby County faced Watford and Sunderland respectively. The League Cup opponent is still Watford.
It's a League One powerhouse in both teams, but it's just a powerhouse, and he believes it will be without him. The game won't be much worse.
But Diamares looked nervous.
Diamares was nervous for a reason, Wan Sheng was banned, and he was the only one who led the team to the game, so he felt nervous, after all, he had not led the team to the game before.
In fact, Diamares is still somewhat looking forward and excited.
Before Wan Sheng became the head coach of the team, he was only an assistant coach like him, and he also became Gregory's 'seat' assistant coach by virtue of his 'old qualifications', and Wan Sheng could only take a back seat.
Where did you think that Wansheng directly took over the position of head coach of the team? And the more he sits in this position, the more stable he is.
At the beginning, Diamares was very unconvinced by this result, he didn't think that his ability was worse than Wansheng, so he was not willing to become Wansheng as the head coach, and he could only be an assistant coach.
But gradually, as the team ushered in one victory after another, Diamares also recognized Wansheng's coaching ability in his heart.
But Wansheng's strong coaching ability does not mean that his coaching ability is weak.
Wan Sheng only served as an assistant coach for half a year, and then he directly became the head coach, and then he led the team to win one victory after another, and directly achieved success.
And he's been an assistant coach for many years.
He also admits that Wan Sheng is very talented, and after coming to Derby County, Wan Sheng was able to directly intervene in the team's training work, and he also did a very good job, and the players involved in the training were very highly rated.
But it's just training, and he's been leading the team for many years.
The coaching industry is also senior, in terms of the years of work, how can he be regarded as the predecessor of Wansheng, the more years he has worked, the more things he has experienced, and the more natural experience he has accumulated.
Diamares doesn't know if he'll be as successful as Wansheng, but he always has to give it a try because his dream is to be a manager in his own right.
Now is the opportunity.
Wan Sheng is suspended, and he wants to lead the team to the game. In the last three games, he can experience what it feels like to be a manager, and although Wan Sheng is the head coach, he also has to see if he can do the job of the head coach.
It's about his career plan!
If he also has the ability to be a head coach, then he can't stay as an assistant coach for too long, and he has to be a head coach when he has the chance, and the head coach is much better than the assistant coach anyway, even if it is a lower league manager compared to a top league assistant coach.
But if not, what if!
Diamares shook his head, he had already decided that in the next few days, he was going to bring himself into the role of a manager, and he wanted to prove that he could also be a manager.
Although I don't know when he will have the opportunity to coach a team in the future, as long as he does a good job, it can at least directly prove that it is not entirely correct for Ji-Smith to choose Wansheng as coach over himself last season.
Maybe he can do better than Wan Sheng?
With this in mind, Diamares began to adapt to the work of 'head coach'.
He imagined himself now the manager of Derby County, and when he brought that role, there would be a lot of thinking about it.
What does a manager need to think and do?
The tactical training of the whole team, the training and the form of the individual players.
The situation of the opponent.
Tactics for the next game.
In addition, there is what to say to the players before and after the game, how to deal with the media, and so on.
It takes a while to sort it all out, but that's it, isn't it?
If Wan Sheng can do it, he will definitely be able to do it too! (To be continued!)
