Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 317 Bureaucracy in Europe

After looking at the training ground for a while, Zhang Yang went back to the head coach's office, ready to consider tactical issues behind closed doors, and met Ebenezer and Wilkinson on the way.

The two walked and talked to each other.

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said hello, "Where are you going?"

The two raised their heads.

Wilkinson came over and complained with a wry smile on his face, "Zhang, you really found a good agent."

"Is this a compliment? Thank you." Zhang Yang didn't care too much. The employee's salary was in direct conflict with the boss. Wilkinson definitely hoped that his salary would be as low as possible, while he hoped that it would be as high as possible.

Ebenezer's face was not very good-looking. Obviously, the negotiations he had just experienced did not make him happy. He suddenly asked, "I thought about it, Zhang, when will you return your car keys to the club?"

"car key?"

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment before realizing what Ebenezer said. He immediately changed his attitude and coughed a few times, "I am still the club's head coach and have the right to use the club's official car. By the way, I still have some work to do. Nothing, I'll go first!"

"wait……"

Ebenezer almost couldn't catch his breath.

Zhang Yang made it clear that he was playing tricks, but in fact he didn't want to return it. The performance of the car was excellent, with good comfort, fast acceleration, and high-end interior decoration. He was very satisfied.

go back?
That meant that he could only buy a car by himself, and he was reluctant to buy a car worth hundreds of thousands of pounds. Not to mention the money spent, the grade of the car would be lowered.

Ebenezer was a little helpless.

Wilkinson felt strange. He asked for some unknown reason, and after getting a general idea of ​​the situation, his face suddenly turned dark. He was surprised before that the club's property included a luxury car, but he had never seen it before. , he thought he was in the garage, so he didn't bother to go up and take a look, how could he think that Zhang Yang drove away?

If nothing happened today, Wilkinson felt that it would be okay to let Zhang Yang drive the car. Anyway, the car is for people to use. As the head coach of the club, Zhang Yang has achieved outstanding results in leading the team. past.

but……

Like Ebenezer, Wilkinson just got angry, all because of Zhang Yang's agent, that guy insisted that 'Millwall must sign a contract with Zhang Yang', the lion opened his mouth to make people very angry.

Wilkinson also felt that the car should be taken back, as a means of revenge, to vent his anger?But he didn't want to conflict with Zhang Yang, so he looked at Ebenezer.

Ebenezer immediately shook his head, "I have approached him several times, but he said that the manager can't control the head coach, and I can't help it."

This is a fact.

In a professional club, especially a professional club in the UK, the head coach is equivalent to a professional manager, who is in charge of all affairs related to the team and has a wide range of powers. Managers of other departments, even the vice chairman, have no right to manage the head coach In other words, Ebenezer and Wilkinson can't do anything about Zhang Yang driving away the club's official car. In theory, the only person who can decide the job of the head coach is the boss of the head coach, that is, the club chairman or the board of directors. No matter how bad it is, it must be the major shareholder of the club.

Then there was only one: Prince Mossad.

Wilkinson had a phone call with Prince Mossad when he returned home. He first reported on his recent work, the development of the club, and recent achievements, and then he talked about Zhang Yang's "private problem". Chirp chirp' is a big deal, the outside staff can't understand it, and only the last sentence almost understands the meaning--
"Ok, I see."

Next, the staff outside the door saw Wilkinson walking out with a dark face, and his whole body seemed to exude an aura of not being close to strangers. They were a little confused. So, Wilkinson came to the Millwall Club, Just kept putting on a smiling face.

What's going on here?
At noon, Wilkinson went to the club restaurant and happened to meet Zhang Yang. He walked over with a confused face and sat with Zhang Yang for lunch.

The atmosphere between the two was awkward for a long time.

Zhang Yang was a little confused, so he still sighed, "Okay, Brand, I decided to return the key to you. I really didn't say that, you are too stingy, I just use the car."

Wilkinson ignored Zhang Yang's complaints and sighed, "No need. Your luck is really good."

"lucky?"

Zhang Yang didn't know why.

Wilkinson said, "I talked to Prince Mossad on the phone, and he said that if Millwall can win the league championship, he decided to give you the sports car in the manor."

"Sports car!?"

"That's a sports car worth 40 pounds!" Wilkinson took a deep breath, his voice full of jealousy, "I've already said that Millwall has a very high chance of winning the league championship, but he still made his decision. Because you are the biggest contributor to the team..."

Wilkinson's tone was full of jealousy, which confused Zhang Yang, but when he heard '40 pounds', he immediately ignored the other party's tone, but smiled and said, "Ahem, don't worry, Brand Millwall will be champions!"

£40!

According to the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to nearly 600 million RMB. Such a gorgeous sports car is really attractive.

Zhang Yang suddenly felt that the official car was simply too weak, and the sports car was cool enough, very suitable for him to drive. He has always had a dream of being a "beauty with a fragrant car".

Now Xiangche is about to come true!
Beauty is not far away?

A beauty must wear a bikini, tall, bulging, and beautiful. By this standard, Catherine is considered a beauty, right?She has a good figure and is considered a pretty actress, but she has a bad temper...

If Catherine was in a bikini... ahem...

Denise?
Denise should be fine too...

Zhang Yang's head began to think, Wilkinson, the first bikini beauty passenger of the gorgeous sports car, had been ignored, but Zhang Yang felt nothing, because he was right to eat lunch in front of this face The other party's greatest respect.

Of course, this is definitely not racism!

cough cough...

Finally, Prince Mossad is really a good man!
----

The news of Wilkinson made Zhang Yang feel refreshed and motivated to lead the team in training.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yang rarely stayed on the training ground for three hours, watching the team practice, and occasionally leaving the field in person to give guidance on tactical issues.

After the training was over, Zhang Yang took the time to ask Andy about his contract negotiation.

"It's all done!"

Zhang Yang was surprised by Andy's answer, "The basic terms have been negotiated, just waiting to add some details, it will be over within a week, and the pre-season contract can be signed."

Andy gives the time.

Zhang Yang felt even more incomprehensible.

The head coach’s contract is not that complicated. There is a basic framework. If it is simple to understand, you can compare it with a rental contract. The rental contract is very simple. It only takes a few pages to add some clauses. There are very few incidental clauses to negotiate with the landlord. Even if it is more complicated, it is a detailed legal issue.

The head coach contract is also the same. There are more than ten pages in the contract, which are basically legal issues. Some clauses need to be negotiated, such as 'breakup fee', 'signature fee', 'salary', 'bonus', etc. A series of problems, if it is more complicated, adding the last "portrait right" regulation is almost the same.

These are actually the basic terms.

After the basic terms are negotiated, the incidental terms are mentioned by both parties. For example, Zhang Yang hopes that there will be a clause that says "If you choose to leave in the future, you can leave directly. If the club terminates the contract on its own initiative, you need to pay the remaining salary." This clause is very important to him. Very beneficial, because leaving has become a no-pressure option, and the club must pay the full remaining salary if they want to fire him.

Zhang Yang also has relatively high requirements for bonuses. For example, if the team wins the European Championship, there must be a large amount of bonuses. Too time consuming.

In fact, the negotiations between the two sides are relatively harmonious. The basis is that Zhang Yang wants to stay in the club, and the club also wants Zhang Yang to stay, so there is relatively little room for negotiation.Andy said that "the basic terms are all negotiated", and we will discuss some details tomorrow, and the contract can be negotiated. How did it become "the contract can be completed in a week, and the contract can be signed before the season"?
Zhang Yang can only lament that the work efficiency of the British is too low. It is obvious that the signing is already on the surface, and they have to talk formally for a few days, as if to highlight the importance of negotiations?
If there is one comment, it must be 'boring'!
This is also the 'bureaucracy' of Europe.

On April 30th, the Premier League's No.[-] four rounds started, and Millwall played against Manchester City at home.

After the end of the last round, Millwall has great hopes of winning the championship, but after all, it is not certain that he will win the championship. There are still many people who pay attention to the game. There are also many reporters who come to interview.

Not for the game itself, not many people will be optimistic about Manchester City.

Manchester City ranks No.15 in the league. The club's financial crisis is the biggest problem. The high debt makes it difficult for them to invest in the transfer market. Most media believe that Manchester City can maintain their standards and continue to stay in the Premier League. Already good.

Compared with Millwall's results, Manchester City is really far behind. What's interesting is that when Manchester City met Millwall, many Manchester fans talked about the "rise of Manchester City in the future", and they all hoped that they could find A head coach similar to Zhang Yang', "Unless there is a highly capable head coach to coach, Manchester City will still be like this next season, and the goal will continue to be on relegation."

Manchester City's new coach, Pierce, is not willing to hear similar remarks. It is tantamount to questioning his coaching ability, but he must admit one thing: in the head coaching industry, he is just an individual, and he has not led the team to achieve good results. The level of ability is not enough to be recognized by fans.

Pierce's time as head coach is shorter than that of Zhang Yang. Pierce was a player before and served as Manchester City's assistant coach in 2002. He was not officially promoted to head coach until last summer.

Manchester City chose to let Pierce coach, considering that he has a better understanding of the team, and the other is to save money: the salary of an English super coach can catch up with a star player, and Pierce's salary can't even catch up with the substitute players. Saved the club a lot of money.

Pierce's level of coaching is difficult to determine.

The plan of the Manchester City club is to see if Pierce is competent. If the team's performance drops sharply, they will let Pierce leave and look for a coach who can lead the team.

Pierce's leadership can only be regarded as "passing". Manchester City's relegation problem is not big, but that's all. The club decided to give Pierce more time. After all, it's hard to say whether changing the head coach is a good thing.

This is Manchester City, and the manager Pierce.

Millwall played against Manchester City. The pressure was not too great. The coaching staff was thinking about tomorrow's FA Cup semi-final with Middlesbrough, so winning this game is not a big problem.

The same goes for the game process.

When the game started, Manchester City also played some momentum. Even in the away game, they quickly threatened Millwall's goal. The goal was completed in 208 minutes.

It was Braniff who scored.

Braniff used a header in the penalty area to help the team score a goal, and Millwall took the lead to make it easier for the team to play.

There was basically no suspense in the game after that.

In the second half, Millwall continued to work hard. The cooperation of Smichael and Sean Davis allowed Curtis Weston, who came off the bench, to find a chance. Weston volleyed and helped the team win The second goal, it is worth mentioning that this is also Curtis Weston's first Premier League goal.

Last season, Curtis Weston performed well and was also one of the contributors to the team's championship. However, Weston is too young and has average technical ability, so there is no need to talk about experience. After Len Bent, there are also Konchesky, Clark and others on the wing, so it will be difficult for Weston to have a chance to play.

Now Weston is just a marginal substitute for the team.

When players need to supplement the lineup, Weston is still a good choice. He does not seem to have received the 'hero treatment', but in fact there is no way. The Premier League is different from the British Championship. The opponents Millwall has to deal with have long been improved A level has been raised, and the requirements for the outcome of the game are also higher. Players with insufficient strength can only be reduced to marginal substitutes.

Weston still has an advantage, and his advantage is his youth.

At Weston's age, he can continue to stay at Millwall, help the team play occasionally, increase his game experience, and slowly grow and hone. He still has enough time.

Zhang Yang is quite satisfied with Weston's performance.

What more could a 19-year-old player ask for?Being able to play on behalf of Millwall and perform decently is already quite good, not to mention, Weston is in a key position and scored a beautiful goal. He feels that Weston should be given more opportunities in the future, maybe Can Weston, like Braniff, be able to provoke some important tasks?
