289. After the season

The next day, Wei Zhong came to Wen Sheng's office as requested and conducted an exclusive interview with Wen Sheng.

As a sports media person stationed in England for a long time, Wei Zhong is not just with the Crystal Palace team. Sometimes he also has other interview tasks. However, he has participated in many Crystal Palace press conferences, and he is very familiar with Wen Sheng.

It can't be any more familiar.

In addition, Wen Sheng was a serious fellow from his hometown, so Wen Sheng made the first appointment for an exclusive interview with him after the season.

This is not Wei Zhong’s first time in Wen Sheng’s office, this must be his third time.

"Congratulations, Daniel! You are a real magical boy! Of course, more importantly, I want to thank you for your help to Chinese football!" Sitting on the guest sofa, Wei Zhong expressed his gratitude to Wen Sheng seriously.

Wen Sheng blushed a little.

What Wei Zhong thanked him for was probably the fact that the Football Association sent coaches and lecturers to China for short-term exchange training.

Wen Sheng, a freshman, is different from before. He is a rising star coach in English football and has a network of contacts. Wen Sheng's lip service actually doesn't put much effort into it.

So Wen Sheng was a little embarrassed. What was also embarrassing was that Wen Sheng had forgotten about the young Chinese coach named Zhang Wei who was still in the youth training camp.

He rarely goes to the youth training camp. To be precise, he has never been to the youth training camp since Zhang Wei arrived. He was busy with his work. He only saw Zhang Wei once at Christmas, but after that due to the intensive schedule

, Wen Sheng really forgot about this fellow.

We originally agreed to make an appointment for half a year, but now it's been a year.

Strangely enough, the Chinese coach never took the initiative to find Wen Sheng.

Of course, Wei Zhong never had the nerve to ask. How could he know that Wen Sheng simply forgot about it and thought that this was Wen Sheng's training for Zhang Wei.

"There is no need to say thank you. Speaking of which, I am also Chinese! The short-term training given by the lecturer was just a way to polish my words. As for Zhang Wei, I have been observing him and he is doing a pretty good job! I think next season

He can join the coaching staff!" It's not too late to make amends. Wen Sheng has already asked about the situation at the youth training camp, but at this moment he can only talk shamelessly.

Of course, bringing Zhang Wei into the coaching staff was also carefully considered. In the past eight or nine months, Zhang Wei's performance has indeed been pretty good. He is not here to take root in England. If he wants to go back in the future, it is best to experience the intensity of the world's first league as early as possible.

.

The first team coach is more difficult than the youth training coach. The difficulty lies in the heavy workload, which mainly requires a lot of thinking. In Wen Sheng's team, the first team coach has to provide Wen Sheng with a lot of decision-making opinions in all aspects, except for Webster and Hall.

, others are actually trained in the direction of all-rounders.

The interview actually doesn't feel like an interview, but more like a casual chat.

Wei Zhong laughed and asked Wen Sheng to summarize the season.

"I don't have to be self-effacing, right?!" Wen Sheng joked, "I'm very satisfied! We have grown very fast this season, and I am very lucky to have these players, because they are really great!"

Wen Sheng is really not self-effacing, and of course Wei Zhong also feels that Wen Sheng does not need to be self-effacing. Whether Crystal Palace did well or not is a matter of public opinion. The season has just ended, and the major media's season summaries have come out.

"442" gave Crystal Palace a 9-point rating in its season summary, the highest rating among all 20 Premier League teams.

"Although they are not a dark horse at all, we must give them the title of dark horse! Who would have thought that the young and inexperienced Crystal Palace could finish third in the league with such a big change in personnel!"

"Mirror", "The Times", "The Guardian", "The Daily Telegraph" and other media have listed Crystal Palace as the best team in the Premier League this season, and Wen Sheng seems to basically be the best team of the season.

The best coach is in the bag.

"I think the best coach this season should go to Daniel. Crystal Palace's performance is impressive!" When the nominations for the best coach were announced, Wen Sheng was among the nominees. Wenger publicly spoke for Wen Sheng in an interview.

Wei Zhong also asked Wen Sheng today what he thinks about the rumors that he will win the Coach of the Season award. The Premier League Coach of the Season Award will actually be announced today.

Of course this honor must be earned.

Wen Sheng has actually only won the Best of the Month twice this season, one in February and one in May that just ended.

There is not even a monthly award among the players on the team. De Bruyne has indeed stood out throughout the season, but he has never won the award once.

It is not a big surprise that Wen Sheng can win this award. The best coach of the season is not awarded to the winning coach of the season. Last season, Huo Taigong won the best coach of the Premier League at Fulham. He led Fuller

Tom has not yet reached the heights of Crystal Palace.

The most newly promoted team, Crystal Palace finished third and also won the Europa League. Naturally, Wen Sheng is the favorite.

The selection of the best head coach in the Premier League is based on fan voting and expert selection. No one is blind.

It was a pleasant conversation with Wei Zhong. When we parted, Wei Zhong accidentally asked Wen Sheng if he planned to visit China in the summer.

Wen Sheng was a little dazed. He had already gone back once, and he didn't really want to go back now. But when he thought about it, Daniel's grandmother and aunt's family were still in China. He only saw his aunt once during his parents' funeral. He hadn't gone back for so long.

It's really not interesting to visit them.

At that moment, he told Wei Zhong, "I will go back. I want to visit my grandma and aunt!"

"That's great! By the way, we can organize a coaching salon!" Wei Zhong was very happy. This guy had bad intentions when he asked Wen Sheng whether he would go back to China to visit relatives.

Wen Sheng immediately poured a basin of cold water on him.

"I'm only doing personal things this time! Boss, I've been busy for a year, let me take a quiet vacation!"

Wei Zhong had no choice but to give up. He was really working hard enough and it was hard to force him.

He made up his mind and said that if he wanted to take a vacation, Wen Sheng couldn't take it now. He had to arrange his work.

The first priority in the summer is transfers.

In the afternoon, Morelli and Marder came together, and this time the list provided by Marder was much more reliable.

A name on the midfielder made Wen Sheng's eyes light up.

Felipe Melo.

Wen Sheng smiled.

"Why did you think of him?!" Wen Sheng asked Mader with a smile.

It’s really hard for Mader to answer. This list includes both senior, middle and young people. Most of the ones he chose were those who could not play the main role in other teams. He found out that they might be sold because the price would be lower. This is all

This is the way for small clubs to survive. They cannot spend as much money as the wealthy clubs do, so they have to choose cheaper ones as much as possible.

Those who cannot play as the main players in other large and medium-sized teams are naturally their targets.

I want to get some little demons, but Wen Sheng doesn’t want them, and we can’t afford them because they’re expensive, so okay, just get some substitutes from big football clubs!

Of course Wen Sheng understood it, so he didn't say anything more about the list, but there were some comrades on the list who were still worth operating, such as Felipe Melo.

Juventus has been doing some losing business these days. Amauri, Melo, Krasic, Diego, etc. are called a black hole of stars, and one by one they will die.

Melo is capable and played very well in Florence, but it is different when he goes to Juventus. Under certain spotlights, his shortcomings are also magnified, causing his confidence to be greatly affected. In addition, Juventus

Tus's tactical system is not stable and often requires the high-priced Melo to step forward to attack the organization's Hall, but Melo is not that material at all. In the Brazilian national team, Dunga only used Melo as an engineer. In Juventus,

Tusmelo took on more responsibilities and was naturally at a loss as to what to do. His performance was far inferior to that of Fiorentina, and he was even voted the worst signing of the Serie A season.
