13. Invitation

After communicating with everyone for a while, Wen Sheng left first and went to the bar at Selhurst Park to have a drink with Warnock.

Many golf courses in England have some facilities attached to them. British people like wine, and bars are indispensable. A golf course may have more than one bar, and some are simply internal bars that only VIPs can enjoy.

The season has not yet started, and the bar where Warnock and Wen Shengyu are staying is an ordinary stadium bar.

After the football game, there was no business in the bar, there were only a few people.

Wen Sheng ordered a glass of beer and sat on the bar and sipped it slowly. It turns out that Wen Sheng was a student and didn’t drink. Back in this era, he only started to drink when he came to Croydon. I think it’s just average. I can’t say I want to.

You can just drink a little bit.

Within a few minutes, Warnock arrived.

"Sorry, Daniel, I was delayed for a few minutes!" Warnock greeted the waiter and also ordered a glass of beer.

"I've only just arrived!" Wen Sheng raised his cup, and Warnock touched it with him.

"You did well today!" Mick Jones joked about not talking about work, but Warnock talked about work first.

"Thank you! Mr. Warnock, we were lucky to win today! This game is not important to you!" Wen Sheng told the truth.

"You have Chinese ancestry?!" Warnock shook his head as if he didn't agree, and then avoided the topic and asked. Judging from the appearance and characteristics, Wen Sheng has some oriental marks, and his surname is rather strange, so

Warnock asked.

"My father is Chinese and my mother is British, from Croydon to be precise!" Wen Sheng said with a smile.

"Ha, you are still a local! No wonder!" Warnock bumped into Wen Sheng again.

No wonder Wen Sheng also knows that he is the head coach of Croydon.

"Are you planning to continue working at Croydon?!" Warnock continued to ask. He still didn't know whether Wen Sheng wanted to focus on football. The fact that Croydon's head coach is part-time does not prevent Wen Sheng from doing so.

main business.

"No, after this game, I plan to go to a professional club or go to Italy to study!" Wen Sheng shook his head and replied, why should he keep his own ideas at this time? The opportunity was rare, so he quickly stated his plan.

"Oh, are you sure you want to become a professional coach?!" Warnock understood Wen Sheng's plan, "You mean you haven't found a suitable job opportunity yet?! How about it?! Daniel, are you interested in coming?

Here, you can join my coaching staff! Honestly, you performed great today!"

Isn't this what Wen Sheng has been waiting for so hard, but before he could agree, Warnock said again: "I am very willing to give you a job opportunity, but I have to tell you in advance, maybe this job

The job doesn’t last long!”

"Mr. Warnock?!" Wen Sheng was confused.

"You should also know the current situation in Crystal Palace!" Warnock said while drinking.

Wen Sheng immediately understood that the upper management of Crystal Palace was uncertain, and the future of Warnock as the head coach was also uncertain. It was difficult to say how long he could stay at Crystal Palace.

"Mr. Warnock, I know some of the situation in Crystal Palace! But I am still happy to learn from you. To be honest, I originally wanted to apply for a job with you today!" Wen Sheng said bluntly.

"Oh!" Warnock was surprised by Wen Sheng's honesty, and also surprised that Wen Sheng had already meant this. "So, today's game is a bit interesting!"

Faced with Warnock's ridicule, Wen Sheng was a little embarrassed, "I studied Crystal Palace seriously! I also made some arrangements. Overall, I am really lucky today..."

"Daniel, stop talking about luck! You are too modest! I have led low-level teams for a long time, and I can understand that it is not an easy thing to do what you have done! So you are indeed great, I am changing clothes

I just heard that you have been leading Croydon for only a few days!"

Warnock interrupted Wen Sheng's self-effacement.

"It is undeniable that you were able to win this victory today because my team was in no shape at all, but your correct tactical response and on-the-spot planning are also one of the key factors!"

"Daniel, can you tell me how you did it?!" Warnock asked with a smile.

This topic has been developed in depth.

"At first, I tried to persuade them. I told them that the situation in Croydon was very dangerous!" Wen Sheng talked eloquently, told Warnock about the situation in Croydon, and then told Warnock that he was

How to unify the thinking of the whole team, and then how to make tactical ideas and choices based on personnel...

Warnock himself listened and thought.

In his opinion, Wen Sheng's success still has some prerequisites. First of all, Croydon is an amateur team, and the players' minds can be said to be much simpler than those of professional teams because they don't get paid.

, the purpose of playing football is also quite pure, unlike professional players who think about things and have difficulty controlling persuasion.

Secondly, Wen Sheng is the acting head coach and has nothing to do with the entire team. To put it bluntly, he does things not for himself but for the team. It is easy for these players to have a sense of identity. Think about it, he is just an agent and works so hard.

What else can the players say?

Finally, Wen Sheng is a local, so many people in the Croydon team know him, and everyone will take care of him.

Everything is accidental and inevitable. After hearing this and thinking about it, Warnock also felt that Wen Sheng's success was inevitable.

"If Daniel continues, Croydon may be promoted next season!" Warnock firmly believes that Wen Sheng will have great potential if he becomes the permanent head coach of Croydon.

It is as easy for teams in low-level leagues to be promoted as to be relegated, because the strength gap between them is not large, and some small positive or negative factors in the football world will be magnified here. It is not impossible to aim for relegation this year and upgrade next year.

Wensheng's tactical level is enough to lead Croydon to a qualitative improvement. In just ten or twenty days, Croydon has made significant changes. This is one of the reasons for Warnock's firm belief.

Wen Sheng and Warnock talked happily, and Warnock was more excited about the conversation. He was really surprised by Wen Sheng's profound football knowledge and his numerous tactical ideas.

After all, it came from ten years later. Wen Sheng not only had Daniel's profound football knowledge but also all kinds of knowledge that Wen Sheng himself learned in the era of information explosion. How could he not surprise the old man Warnock?!

Warnock also studies, but he is not as sophisticated as Wen Sheng. He has already formed his own ideas and football philosophy.

"Daniel, you should form some ideas of your own! Well, it's too early to talk about this now. This is all a process of accumulation!" Warnock commented.

Wen Sheng nodded with his head, but disagreed in his heart.

As a head coach, the most impressive thing is not how many championships he has won, but establishing a sect and establishing his own style to attract others to imitate. There are not many coaches like this in world football.

Wen Sheng does not pursue this at all. He just wants to pursue the happiness of coaching, just like playing a football manager game. He just wants to lead various teams to win. Talk about style is not important to him at all.

A drink after the game unexpectedly turned into a long conversation. The two chatted for a long time until Joey called and interrupted their conversation.

"I'm sorry! Mr. Warnock, I have to go!" Wen Sheng said goodbye to Warnock.

"Hey, we've been talking for a long time! It's time for me to go home!" Warnock looked at his watch and saw that it was indeed late. "Then I'll wait for you at the Crystal Palace! I had a great time talking today!"

"Me too!" Wen Sheng stretched out his hand, "Thank you very much for giving me a job opportunity! This way I don't have to wait anxiously for a reply to the job application email!"

"Applying email?! Who did you send it to?!"

"Crystal Palace!"

"Haha, now Simon Jordan is trying to sell the team. It's normal for something like this to happen!" Warnock laughed. "Maybe you should have sent an email to Arsenal or Fulham or Chelsea to try.
