Volume 1 The Gamer in Portugal Chapter 1 Ordered in Danger
"The owner wants to appoint Simon King to lead the team? Did I hear me right? A person who plays games is also worthy of coaching a professional club?! โ
"He's not just a gamer! He didn't even play professional football! What nonsense! โ
"This must not happen! This would make us a joke in the whole of Portugal and the whole of football! We must stop him! โ
"That's right! We must stop him! โ
The people who spoke were executives of the Portuguese football club Vischna.
One by one, they were furious, and their eyes were full of anger.
A short time later, Diogo, the owner of the team, led a young man into the office.
He first politely greeted the executives, and then sat down slowly with the support of the secretary.
"Thank you for coming, I believe that what I am going to say today, you all know it, right?"
"We're just about to talk to you about it!" The person who spoke was the team's technical director.
He glanced disdainfully at the young man beside his boss and continued:
"I think you should be aware that there are three rounds left in the league and we are second from the bottom, three points behind the third-from-bottom Belรฉm."
"That's right!"
Seeing that the technical director opened his mouth, the general manager of the team also shouted:
"And once the team is relegated, then the club's annual loss will never be less than 6 million euros!"
"I know your worries very well!" Diogo replied a little helplessly:
"But what can I do? Tomorrow is the derby, and the manager you recommend has taken the entire coaching staff to Italy at this time, but the U21 coaches have been arrested for fighting. โ
"Then we can hire other professional coaches as well! Whoever you are, you're sure to be better than someone who plays the game, right?! The technical director continued to plead.
"Something else? Do you have what it takes to find the right coach? To tell you the truth, I've tried everything I can, but no one wants to take over the team. โ
"None of them?"
Diogo's words surprised everyone.
"It's not nothing, but those people are probably sorry for their salaries, and they don't have the ability to lead the team to relegation."
It was the team secretary who had been silent, and as the owner's side, she naturally knew what was going on.
"So...... So you're going to give up on relegation? The team's general manager frowned.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the conference room immediately became a little silent.
After a long time, Diogo said: "Instead of looking for a high-paid and low-energy coach to come back, it is better to promote in the team." What's more, Simon King was recommended by our meritorious old handsome Jim. โ
"Jim? O my God! Jim must be an old fool! โ
Speaking of this, the technical director pointed to the young man next to Diogo and said:
"Look at it, guys! Look at this Oriental, what is he like a manager? โ
The director of football also mocked: "I became a tactical analyst with Jim's relationship before, and now I still want to be the head coach through the back door?" It's hilarious. โ
Only the general manager of the team looked at the young man with a smile and said, "Tell me yourself, are you worthy of being the head coach?" โ
The young man is naturally the Simon King who plays games in everyone's mouth.
He is a 27-year-old avid Football Manager enthusiast who has won the FM World Championship two years in a row.
Although he holds the third division of football coaching qualification "UEFA B" from the FA.
But before I became a tactical analyst here, I really hadn't played professional football.
At this moment, in the face of everyone's humiliation and ridicule, Simon King, who had already been ridiculed for a long time, couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.
What's more, due to the fact that his father is a member of the Celestial Empire.
Therefore, he has an oriental face, and as early as the first day he came to the team, he was regarded as a coach of the Celestial Empire who came to study, which made him suffer a lot of white eyes and ridicule.
And now, he couldn't take it anymore.
"You are not exempt...... You're underestimating me, aren't you? โ
Simon King tapped the table lightly with the knuckles of his fingers, his tone full of determination and disdain.
"Look down on you? Scold...... You're wrong boy, we don't look down on you, we look down on you! โ
The technical director slapped the table and jumped to his feet, roaring at him: "A man who has never even kicked a ball, does he deserve to make us look the other way!" โ
Following his words, the football director also sneered: "What nonsense are you talking to him!" We don't have to talk to the opportunistic guy who goes through the back door, we should kick him out and let the youth coaches take over the team! โ
In the face of everyone's humiliation again, Simon King felt that his face was hot, but what was even hotter than his face was his dignity.
He decided that even if he didn't become the head coach, he would fight back hard.
"Who said that if you haven't played, you can't be a manager?" Simon King asked with a calm face, displeased.
"I said it! What do you think? โ
"And what about Jose Mourinho?"
"Mourinho?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sarcastic laugh in the office, and even the team secretary, who had always been neutral, laughed along.
Everyone looked at him as if they were saying, "Do you deserve to be compared to Mourinho?" โ
Ridicule is sometimes far more hurtful than words.
But at the same time, it is often more inspiring to fight.
"I'll be better than him!"
Looking at this humiliated but still loud young man, Diogo seemed to think of himself when he was younger.
He stared earnestly into Simon King's eyes, and hesitated for a long time before he said, "Young man, are you sure?" โ
Simon King did not hesitate and replied directly: "I'm sure!" โ
Confidence is the foundation of all success.
Diogo's originally tense face began to slowly relax: "Okay, it's you!" Appointments are effective immediately! โ
"Nope! Please don't! We should let the coaching staff of the youth team take over! They have played professional football, and whether it is ability or experience, they will definitely be better than this Oriental boy! โ
Diogo seemed a little dissatisfied with the technical director's protest again.
He glared at the other party fiercely, and said firmly: "I believe in Jim's vision, and I believe in my own vision, and this matter is decided!" โ
"But ......"
"No, but!"
Speaking of this, Diogo no longer paid attention to the other party, he turned to look at Simon King, and said, "Young man, go meet your players, don't let me down!" โ
Simon King was in high spirits, and his anger turned into infinite strength.
In a tone much firmer than the other party, he said in a deep voice:
"I'll prove your vision with three victories! I'll shut up everyone who doubts me with three wins! โ
