Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 604 Personal Assistant
Millwall was full of excitement from top to bottom. Even though they had prepared before the game and successfully set a record, many people still cried.

Those were tears of excitement!
Players, assistant coaches, staff, and Wilkinson who came with the team, everyone had a smile on their faces, and many people hugged each other when they met.

Zhang Yang's performance was very flat.

It's like in a press conference, talking about the game very seriously, talking about Aston Villa's performance, he didn't show any excitement about creating an unbeaten record.

One reason is that he had already prepared himself.

Second, and more importantly, Zhang Yang found out that the mission he received before the season had not been completed. The mission requirement was to create a new record of undefeated, but he had not been able to complete the mission despite being undefeated for [-] rounds.

That shows that the task requirements are aimed at the unbeaten records of the five major leagues.

The five major European leagues refer to Serie A, Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga and Ligue 1990. Among them, Serie A has the most exaggerated unbeaten record. From the 1991th round of the 34-1992 season to the 1993rd round of the 23-58 season, AC Milan has remained undefeated. Defeated, created as many as [-] undefeated games.

If Millwall wants to break this record, they must go unbeaten in the next nine league rounds.

This is very difficult.

Before, the whole team still had fighting spirit. Everyone wanted to break Arsenal's record. The whole team twisted into one rope and worked hard to cope with one game after another. Now it is different. Zhang Yang has no reason to tell the whole team: "We want to break AC Milan's unbeaten record."

Does that make any sense?

Premier League teams do not have the habit of comparing with Serie A teams. Most of the same leagues only compare with the same league.

This is because of the league level gap.

For example, national leagues such as Greece, Belgium, and the Czech Republic are much worse. There are often dominant teams in the league, and the representative one is the Romanian giant Steaua Bucharest. On September 1986th, they achieved a miracle of 8 unbeaten matches in the league in three years. Such a record is impossible to break.

Therefore, it is difficult to compare the league and the league. Even if it is the Premier League and Serie A that have competed for the first league in recent years, it is meaningless to compare.

In this regard, the media and fans are not very supportive.

When a team is undefeated in a league, to some extent, it also shows that the competition in the league is not fierce, and the level will drop accordingly.

Of course, not absolutely.

In any case, Zhang Yang can't set the goal of "breaking AC Milan's unbeaten record" for the team. In the next nine league games, the team can only work hard and strive not to fail. The difficulty will definitely increase a lot.

After the game, Zhang Yang devoted himself to studying the schedule, carefully considering the game plan, and wanted to know which games needed special attention.

If you want to create an undefeated record, you can't make any mistakes.

Zhang Yang's personal "unhappiness" did not affect the entire Millwall team, nor did it affect the media's views.

On the day the game ended, the major media were talking about Millwall's unbeaten fifty rounds, and almost all reports were positive.

"The new record is also a record that is difficult to surpass."

"Manchester Athletic" put it this way, "Now only Millwall can break the new unbeaten record. I don't know how long their unbeaten will last. What is certain is that they will be unbeaten in every next game. , will rewrite the record!"

The media in other countries also reported, but the evaluation was mixed.

For example, the Italian media don't like to say good things about English football.

Since the "Callgate" incident in 2006, Serie A has shown a downward trend. In the past two seasons, among the teams participating in the Champions League, there are Inter Milan, AC Milan, Roma, and Lazio this season. Without Juventus, Italy seems to be missing an important role, because Roma and Lazio are not expected. Their participation in the Champions League is almost "participation". It is difficult to squeeze into the top few, and it is not easy to even qualify for the group, let alone compete for the championship. up.

Neither can Inter Milan.

In recent years, the trend of Inter Milan's rise is obvious, but in the European arena, their results have not been good.

So there is only one AC Milan left.

The European competition relies on AC Milan, and the difficulty is too high. Any team has a bad performance, and AC Milan has passed its peak state. It is at a critical point in the transition from old to new. , They even introduced the 'alien' Ronaldo and wanted to loan David Beckham, which shows how serious AC Milan is.

The Italian media reflected on its own weakness, and at the same time commented on Millwall's unbeaten record, "Millwall has created a new record, but it also shows that the Premier League has lost its internal competitiveness in recent years."

"Millwall has won the league title in a row. So far this season, they have also sat firmly at the top of the league table. No team can compete with them."

"Not Manchester United, not Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool."

"That's the status quo in the Premier League."

"In the absence of active internal competition, it is not incomprehensible for a suddenly rising strong team to create an astonishing unbeaten record..."

The analysis voice of the Italian media is sour.

The media in other countries didn't think much of it either.

Whether the Premier League is competitive or not can be seen by looking at the results of the Champions League.

In 2005, the Champions League belonged to Liverpool.

In 2006, the Champions League belonged to Arsenal.

In 2007, that is, last season, the Champions League final was fought between Millwall and Chelsea, and Millwall finally won the championship.

The Premier League teams have won the Champions League consecutively, which directly shows their competitiveness.

From a rational point of view, the Premier League model is the most successful in commercialization. Commercialization that has nothing to do with politics also directly represents freedom and competition. It is precisely because of this that it attracts so much foreign capital.

The Premier League is independent of the political system. The FA has absolute power in establishing the league mechanism and operation. In terms of policies related to income such as television broadcasting rights, the Premier League system is the most commercialized and perfect. As a result, the income of Premier League teams is much higher than that of other league teams.

This is the basis of the league's competitiveness, because it can provide development funds for the bottom teams.

For example, the Manchester United club with the highest income, their annual income from TV broadcasting rights is difficult to compare with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which monopolize La Liga and sign separate broadcasting agreements, but some teams at the bottom, including West Ham United, Park Fortsmouth and Fulham, their income even exceeds that of Valencia, Seville and other Spanish "quasi giants".

The high-yield and open policy has attracted a large amount of foreign investment. For example, Birmingham, which is frequently relegated and relegated, has attracted Hong Kong funds. With foreign investment, the strength of each team can be improved.

It's a virtuous cycle.

Therefore, the internal competition in the Premier League is very fierce. It is common for some teams to invest tens of millions of euros in a single season, but they still have difficulty in relegation. This shows that the gap between the top Premier League clubs and the relegation teams is narrowing.

From this we can see how high the gold content is in Millwall's unbeaten fifty rounds.

Many media have begun to prepare "special" programs to report on Millwall's undefeated performance, cutting game after game, and only waiting for the day when Millwall loses to make a "new record" summary column.

Some media believe that Millwall's unbeaten record is more sufficient than two consecutive league championships and gold content.

"There will be one Premier League champion every year, but an unbeaten record of more than 20 rounds is enough to last ten years, [-] years, or even longer."

"World Sports Daily" analysis pointed out.

The German "Kicker" also analyzed, "The new record created by Millwall is very valuable. It can be described as "great", and it will be difficult to be surpassed in the future!"

"What is even more exciting is that Millwall still has a lot of chances to break their own record, and their performance is also giving people confidence."

There are also many media, reminding themselves that the national team must be careful of Millwall.

Of course, there is no need for them to remind.

Millwall is the defending champion of the Champions League, and their performance in Group C is still very dominant. It is impossible for any team to be careless.

----

While the outside media kept reporting, Zhang Yang encountered a funny thing.

Dennis Wise...

This guy, who was about to be forgotten, asked him if he still had a place on the coaching staff.

Since Wise left to coach Leicester City, Zhang Yang didn't care anymore. Apart from sending a message to say hello, Wise didn't seem to want to tell Zhang Yang carefully about the problems he encountered in coaching.

Then, now...

Wise was fired.

In February this year, Mandalic officially acquired Leicester City. Afterwards, the head coach Rob Kelly was fired by the club. Leicester City was replaced by Nigel Worthington as the caretaker leader until the end of the season. Worthington led the team. The team succeeded in relegation, but he did not become the official head coach after the season.

Leicester City have hired Dennis Wise as head coach.

Perhaps Leicester City hope that Wise, as Zhang Yang's assistant and Millwall's "starter", can replicate Zhang Yang's success at Millwall, and they also gave Wise a good contract, but Wise didn't set sail with the team.

From the beginning of the season, Leicester City, led by Wise, has suffered from Waterloo. They are even worse than last season's difficult relegation. The ranking has been hovering between 22 and [-], and few can win. a match.

Such a result certainly cannot satisfy the club.

In the end, Leicester City couldn't bear it anymore and decided to dismiss Wise and find an experienced coach to replace him, otherwise Leicester City might be relegated to the first division.

Wise had been fired for two weeks.

The media had reported on this incident, but the dismissal of the coach of a Championship team was not a major news. Leicester City was far away from the London region, so Zhang Yang didn't even know about it.

Wisela took the initiative to find Zhang Yang, but in the end he couldn't find a suitable next home. Considering his coaching level, he decided to return to Millwall.

The current Millwall is not as good as it used to be. It is not an easy task to enter Millwall's coaching staff.

There are many coaches outside, even first-class coaches, who want to find a position in the Millwall coaching staff. One is that the Millwall coaching staff is well paid, which is completely comparable to a wealthy team. The other is that they want to observe and learn from a close distance. Zhang Yang's way of leading the team.

That's right!

Many coaches think so.

Millwall's success can no longer be described as a miracle. Many media attribute the reason to Zhang Yang's leadership level.

With such a high level of leadership ability, there must be aspects that can be learned.

So it was very easy for Zhang Yang to find an assistant coach, but after Wise proposed, Zhang Yang thought about it carefully and decided to hire Wise, but not from Millwall, but from him personally.

"Dennis, I want you to be my assistant, my closest assistant."

Zhang Yang and Wise talked face to face.

"Assistant?" Wise didn't understand.

"Yes, I need an assistant, not only the team, but also many business matters. I will hire you as an assistant and give you a higher salary." Zhang Yang said seriously.

He is very sincere.

Finding an assistant coach is easy, finding a trusted assistant is hard.

Wise has a very good personal relationship with him. Wise is also one of those "honest people".

Zhang Yang needs such an assistant.

In leading the Millwall team, there is actually no need for manpower. It doesn't matter whether Wise enters or not, but Zhang Yang's assets continue to increase, and there are a lot of things to deal with at home and abroad. Trusted assistants are very important.

An Andy, simply too busy.

American things, British things, Chinese things, and so on.

Andy is Zhang Yang's manager, but most of the time, he is not in London at all. For nearly half a year, he was either in the United States or in China.

Zhang Yang talked to Wise sincerely. He talked about many things, including his own company, investment in the US stock market, and many things at home and abroad, including the establishment of the Youth Football Development Foundation.

and many more.

Wise was rather surprised.

Wise has always felt that Zhang Yang is a genius in coaching, but geniuses have limitations. If you are good at one aspect, it is difficult to be good at other aspects. Zhang Yang does not seem to be suitable for this law. According to what he said, he is at least an investment genius.

The news was a bit shocking.

Wise believes that he needs to be sober before he can make a final decision, because serving as Zhang Yang's personal assistant represents a large part of giving up his future prospects in coaching.

This is not an easy decision to make.
