Chapter 133: The brain can't keep up
Manchester City club is very efficient, and Marwood finished talking to Wan Sheng. That night, Kevin Tagore, who was still in Newcastle, received a call from Manchester City club. Chairman Mr. Wadel asked to meet Kevin Tagore, and it would be best if he could meet Wan Sheng directly. He wanted to talk in person about the specific matters of inviting Wan Sheng to coach Manchester City under his charge. ∑,
In fact, Wan Sheng was a little surprised by Manchester City's demands. Before he traveled to this life, Manchester City was already a world-class team at that time, but they only began to rise after being fully acquired by foreign capital in 2008, and now they are only in 2005.
There is still three years left!
Even though he doesn't know much about Manchester City at this time, he should know that the team's situation is not good. They just returned to the Super League two years ago. The club has some foreign debt and the economic situation is not good. Head coach Keegan has conflicts with some players in the team and even the club's senior management. In addition, the team's performance in entering the top league is not good, and they can even barely relegate. Manchester City's situation can be imagined.
He didn't expect Vader to invite him.
But thinking about the media rumors about the conflict between Keegan and Manchester City club, there is nothing unexpected happening. It is certain that Manchester City will change the head coach, so it is natural for them to consider themselves who are not going smoothly in renewing their contract with Derby County.
In the end, Wan Sheng decided to go to Manchester in person.
May 14th was the last round of the Premier League. Derby County's opponent was Portsmouth. This game was like a waste to both sides, so the game played at Pride Stadium was more like a warm-up match. In the end, Derby County defeated Portsmouth 2-1 and won the final round of the league.
But no one cares about this anymore, because the outcome of the game doesn't affect much.
After the game, Wan Sheng announced the dissolution of the team, and he drove to Manchester with Kevin Tagore.
The town of Grand Derby County is about 200 kilometers away from Manchester. It is not far or near, and it takes about two hours to drive. When the two arrived in Manchester, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, but before they arrived, they had already made an appointment with the Manchester City staff, so there was someone there before they arrived at the Manchester City club department.
Manchester City Club is located in the heart of Manchester City, close to the Commercial Avenue, and is surrounded by the most prosperous area in Manchester.
Entering the inside of Manchester City Club, what catches your eye is a green space surrounded by floors. If you look closely, you will find that it used to be a regular football field, but due to the planned area and other reasons, half of the venue is occupied by surrounding buildings.
This is Manchester City Club.
If you don't know, you will definitely not imagine that this will be a football club, because there is not even a regular football field. But in fact, Manchester City's first team, including the reserve team, the youth team and the youth team below the U-16, are all training at the bases in the suburbs. As the core club, there are only staff from the commercial department.
The chairman's office was in a room on the edge of the main building. When the staff took Wan Sheng and the others in, Manchester City Chairman Wadel was already waiting there.
Wadell looks in his fifties, a little short, a little fat, but his eyes are bright. He looks like a shrewd guy.
Malwood was also sitting on the sofa.
Seeing Wan Sheng and the others coming in, Wadel came out and Malwood stood up. He gave a polite introduction and shook hands with each other.
Wald is the chairman of Manchester City club and one of the major shareholders of the club. He is also a partner of Martin, the club's chief shareholder. In 1998, Wald began working for Manchester City club and became the chairman of the club two years ago.
When Wald took over the club's chairman position, Manchester City club just rushed back to the top league. In the past two seasons, Keegan's leadership has not achieved any praiseworthy results, and he has even had to prepare to break up with Manchester City. So it can be said that as the chairman of the Manchester City club, Wald has not made any achievements worth mentioning in his work. Many Manchester City fans even believe that Wald, as the chairman, has almost no difference between having and not having, because his work has no results at all.
Wald was naturally very dissatisfied with this situation.
He hopes that he can make some achievements in the position of chairman. Even if he cannot lead the club to glory, he cannot fall behind in the Premier League. At least he cannot be like this season. The team has a relegation crisis. Wald is very vigilant about this, so Keegan has poor performance in leading the team and can only prepare to roll and leave, and he is also preparing to bring a new coach to the team.
Find a new coach who is considered a good coach and ensure the team's performance. If you have the ability, try to achieve better results. This is Wald's temporary goal.
He took a fancy to Wansheng.
Wan Sheng's team-leading results are undoubtedly very dazzling. Derby County has become the Premier League champion and attracted almost all the attention of England. Wald naturally also understood Derby County. In his opinion, this Derby County is undoubtedly much better than Manchester City, but even so, there is still some gap with strong teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea. This young Chinese is obviously very capable to lead such a team to win the Premier League championship.
So for another team, Manchester City, which is led by this young Chinese, will definitely not have to be too bad in terms of performance, at least you don’t have to worry about relegation. Maybe the team can still compete for European competition qualifications.
That's what Wald thought.
After getting to know each other politely, he directly talked about his thoughts, "I believe that your arrival will make Manchester City's performance stable. Our goal next season is to strive for a place in European competitions. I think Manchester City has a chance, and for this, the club will also prepare a sum of funds to strengthen its strength."
"Your contract is completely different. I hope you can work at Manchester City for a longer time. Although I am the club chairman, I also know football very well. A coach can work on a team for a long time to make the team better. Maybe two or three years later, our strength will be greatly improved. I believe this, your success in Derby County has proved a lot of things."
"So the club will consider giving you a long contract for more than four years, and Martin agrees with this. I told him, so you don't have to worry about salary and treatment at all."
Martin mentioned by Wadel is the largest shareholder of Manchester City Club. Although he is not the club chairman, his impact on Manchester City Club is not bad at all. If Martin and Wadel both agree to give Wan Sheng a big contract, it would be smooth all the way and there would be no problem with contract negotiations.
Wadell kept saying that he was actually expressing his sincerity.
He just wanted to express one meaning to Wansheng - me, and the entire Manchester City club. He hopes that you can coach. For this reason, we are willing to provide big contracts, long contracts, and will give you a lot of time to build a team. Even if there is no result in one or two years, it doesn't matter.
This is what Wadel wants to express.
I have to say that this is definitely very attractive to ordinary football coaches.
Football coaches are different from professional players, so it is not easy to sign a long-term contract.
A long-term contract can ensure that outstanding players are kept in the team. Even if the players perform poorly, the club can still sell them, but the coach is different. The coach has almost no "value" and the nature of the work is similar to that of some companies' eOs. They are the leaders of a professional team. If the coach leads the team poorly, the club will definitely consider changing a coach, rather than "staying in the team and selling".
If you want to change a coach, it naturally involves the issue of contract. Long-term contract itself is a guarantee. If a general agreement is broken, it will compensate all the salary for the remaining time.
The job of a football coach is very unstable. If the team is not well-trained for a period of time, it is enough for a head coach to be dismissed, so it is naturally very attractive to have a long appointment.
It will definitely take time to adapt and transform a team when a football coach takes over a team. So Wadel also promised that "it doesn't matter if he doesn't make a result for one or two years." This is absolute trust. In other words, after becoming the head coach of Manchester City club, you can just lead the team to complete relegation.
These two conditions are superimposed, coupled with the almost guaranteed "big contract" that Manchester City clubs can be moved by any football coach.
The same goes for Wansheng.
However, he was very rational and did not agree immediately. Not to mention whether Wadel could guarantee what he said, it was more important that he was more capable, and his requirements were different from other coaches.
Just as Wadel finished speaking, watching Wansheng with Malwood and wanted to hear his answer, Wansheng finally spoke, "Mr. Wadel, thank you for your trust in me, but I want to emphasize it first."
Wan Sheng said seriously, "As long as I choose to come to Manchester City Club, no matter whether it is the first season, the second season, or the third season, I will only have one goal, that is the championship!"
Wadell was stunned for a while after hearing this, and he even felt that he had heard it wrong.
champion?
The goal of coming to Manchester City in the first season is to win?
What is this young Chinese thinking?
Wadell felt that his brain was a little unable to keep up. He always believed that he was still young and at least he had not entered old age. But why did his thinking just couldn't keep up with the routine?
According to normal logic, this young Chinese should not say something like "I will definitely work hard" and "strive to better results" after thanking for my trust, but why did he jump directly to "My goal can only be the champion"?
Are you really old?
Waddle was stunned for a long time before finally coming to his senses. He and Malwood looked at each other and saw the surprise in the other person's eyes. Only then did he make sure that he had heard it correctly. Instead, he looked at Wansheng seriously and said, "Mr. Wansheng, I don't quite understand what you mean?"
"I think I've said it very clearly!"
