Chapter 143 Best Coach of the Season(1/2)
After the award ceremony, the celebration at Manchester Stadium came to an end. The fans in the audience were reluctant to leave and left the stadium one after another. The whole Manchester City team also left together, but their celebration was not over yet, and the whole team had to go to the hotel to have a dinner and a carnival together.
China likes to celebrate at the table, and the same goes for people abroad. On the day of winning the championship, everyone let go of drinking.
There are audio equipment in the hotel lobby, and several drunk players are scrambling to sing a song.
Wan Sheng was also immersed in the crazy atmosphere on the scene.
After Chairman Wald spoke with a glass of wine, it was Wansheng's turn. Under the stimulation of alcohol, his face turned a little red.
He stood up and looked at everyone clenching his fists and shouted, "We got the league title, plus the League Cup title, the team has a great performance! But guys, I think it's just the beginning!"
"When I came to the club, I set my goal, that is, the championship! Now we have a league championship, Ming `` Novel`.`` in 2018, we can participate in the UEFA Champions League. While everyone is here, I want to say that our goal next year is to win the UEFA Champions League championship!"
"Remember! This is not a joke! I always do what I say!"
Listening to Wan Sheng's speech, many players were excited and blushed, but some rational people thought that the team had no chance. After all, Manchester City had never participated in the UEFA Champions League in the past decade. In that top field, even if they were staring at the title of Premier League champion, they were still young.
But in the joyful atmosphere of the championship celebration, club chairman Wadel also took the lead in applause and said, "I believe you can do it!"
All the players and club staff also applauded.
Although this is the case on the surface, most people still don’t believe that the team is fighting for the Champions League championship, and they only regard this as a drunken word for victory.
Wansheng doesn't care what others think.
Anyway, this is his goal, and even he wants to fight for the UEFA Champions League more than the defending league champion. After all, he has already won two goals in the Premier League championship, and he has not led the team to participate in the UEFA Champions League.
That is a big stage to look forward to!
...
The whole team gathered in the hotel for one night, and the next day at noon. The club will celebrate the championship this day.
According to the club's plan, all players must first go to the Municipal Plaza to receive congratulations from the mayor and municipal officials of Manchester, and then the bus carrying all players will detour around Manchester City for a week. The end point is the training base in the suburbs.
There, all the players will celebrate the carnival with the fans who come, and then have some special celebrations to thank the fans, including grand star signature activities, team souvenir distribution activities, and lucky fans will get the opportunity to take photos with their favorite stars. In addition, the club will also sell 100 season tickets for next season at half price.
After this series of activities, the championship celebration came to an end, and all players can also take a vacation.
When the last round is over, the whole team can also be disbanded directly.
Wan Sheng is the team's head coach and is also the biggest contributor to Manchester City's championship. He is admired by many Manchester City fans. Because he has too much voice among the fans, he also enjoys the treatment of being classified as a "star". He has to participate in autograph activities with the team players and take photos with a few lucky people.
This is an optional job for Wansheng, and the club did not force anything.
Wan Sheng still participated in the event. This is very beneficial for cultivating popularity. No matter what, a coach close to fans will always be more popular.
...
When the grand celebration ended, the whole team was disbanded.
The club gave everyone a vacation, and before the last round, they could rest for a few days.
At this time, many people have to consider the future.
Professional players are very mobile, and everyone is in their own position and situation. Although Manchester City won the league championship, not all players want to stay with the team.
Captain Distin is one.
After transferring to Manchester City, Disney quickly became the main player and quickly became the team captain. He felt very good at that time, and his partner with Dunn also made Manchester City's defense stronger and tacit understanding. Although Manchester City's performance was not good at that time, at least he had a very important position in the team and had a strong say.
This season is different.
With Kopelle Ferreira's outstanding performance, Dunn was squeezed to the bench, and Distin also felt that his main position was challenged. When he was in an injury, the team's performance was not affected at all.
Distin feels that it doesn't matter if he has no team. He is still the captain and the regular player, but it has become less important.
In addition, he couldn't grasp the team's right to speak.
The character of a good midfielder Morris is very popular among his teammates. He gets along very well with everyone and guides some young players on weekdays. At the same time, Morris is the absolute core of the midfielder and has a much more important position in the team than him. Some people have privately believed that Morris is more suitable to be a captain than him.
In this case, Distin began to consider leaving.
Manchester City has won the league championship, and the results of this season are perfect. With the performance of this season, it is easy to find a next home now and get a bigger contract.
If you leave again next year, will this still be like this?
Distin is very uncertain.
He actually wanted to stay at Manchester City. After all, he was already very familiar with this place. He also had confidence in the young head coach, but he decided to leave for himself.
Not only Distin is going to leave, but Musampa also has the same considerations. Now he can't play the main player on the wing, and Ivan Cruz performs better than him. In addition, a young player with very strong potential, David Silva and his old teammate Sinclair, he can't stabilize his position on the wing.
This season, Musampa has been injured for more than half a year, but he has played a lot in the second half, but he is almost certain that he will not have a main position next season.
So Musampa planned to leave too.
Distin and Musampa are sure to leave, and some players are determined to stay, such as David Silva, Darren Bent, Kopelle Ferreira and other young players, such as Morris, Ivan Krue, and others who have a very high respect for Victory. Some people are looking at the situation. If a big club provides them with a big contract, you can consider it. The club will naturally stay with the salary increase. If there is nothing, of course it is better to stay in the team. Here we can also look forward to next season with our familiar teammates.
...
On May 8, the Premier League ushered in its last round.
This round of away challenge to Blackburn is a useless game for Manchester City. The championship has been won, and they have no intention of playing against Blackburn. In the end, Manchester City lost to Blackburn 0:2 away.
After the game, there were some criticisms from the outside world, but no one cared anymore.
With the end of this round, it also means that the 2005-2006 Premier League season will be over.
After the whole team returned to the club, Wan Sheng gathered everyone and made the final summary at the end of the season.
"We just had a successful season, two championships, but I said, it's just the beginning, now it's just the end of a season, we still have next season, next season..."
"In the next season, we will have a bigger goal, and we will still need to make a hard preparation at that time. Of course, before that, it is your holiday, but I must warn each of you to be careful during the holiday! If anyone has any problems, I don't mind putting him on the bench for a long time!"
"You are professional players. You should understand all of these."
"Also, I know that some of you have the idea of leaving, and some people hope to stay in the team. This is how professional football is. I don't know how many of you will be away when reuniting, and I'm not sure how many new faces the team will have, but I must remind you that whether you stay or leave, you must insist on training and take every game seriously. Only in this way can you go further..."
"Now, everyone is disbanded! I wish you all a happy holiday!"
After a summary, Wan Sheng smiled and waved his hand and announced his disbandment. This also represents the end of the entire season, and every player can enjoy the holiday with peace of mind.
But Wan Sheng is not good yet. He is the team's head coach and he still has a lot of work to do.
After the whole team was disbanded, Wan Sheng went to the chairman's office.
In addition to club chairman Wadel, there are club manager Bi Knicks and youth director Malwood in the office, plus Wan Sheng himself, who are the four people with the greatest power in Manchester City.
Seeing Wansheng walking in, Wald and the other two stood up to greet him.
The head coach's treatment also shows that Wan Sheng's influence in the club.
In general, the biggest one is always the chairman. The chairman is always arrogant. The head coach can only compete with the club manager at most. But in fact, in many clubs, club managers have a higher status than the head coach because it is difficult for the head coach to coach in a club for many years, but the manager will work for a long time.
But Manchester City is different now.
After Wan Sheng came to the team, he quickly became the person with the most say. The league championship he just won made his people surpass Chairman Wadel. Now everyone knows that Manchester City can have no chairman Wadel, but Wan Sheng must stay because he can bring a championship to Manchester City.
Within the club, Wadel has the support of Martin, the club's largest shareholder, and the two combined shares exceed 70%, so the club has only one voice.
Club manager Bi Knicks completely obeyed Wadel. Malwood never fought for power, so as long as Wadel supports Wansheng and gives Wansheng enough rights, everyone will support it.
So Wansheng has a lot of say in the club. In addition, matters including transfer rights are also indicated on the contract, and he has become the club's superior person.
Wadell hugged Wan Sheng enthusiastically and said with a smile, "It's been thirty-eight years, the club's first league championship! I really don't know how to thank you! Wan Sheng!"
Wadell is thankful from the bottom of his heart.
He originally believed that due to funding and other issues, it was difficult to lead Manchester City to glory during his tenure as the club chairman, but Wan Sheng brought the team a championship.
Many years later, when Manchester City fans recall this championship, they will definitely think that he was the one who served as the chairman, and that he was the one who brought the "members" head coach to win thousands of victories.
Whenever I think of this, Wadell is very happy.
Wan Sheng smiled and joked, "I am very satisfied with my salary, so I have to match my salary."
The few people in the office laughed.
"So have you considered it next season?" Wadell asked, "I really want to win the Champions League?"
He said this as a bit joking, because when Wan Sheng said this, he was already a little drunk.
But Wadel did not expect that Wan Sheng nodded seriously, "Of course, I said it a long time ago, my goal is only the champion!"
"If you weren't coaching Manchester City, I would definitely say, 'It's so arrogant', but I like your arrogant now."
"Thanks!"
Wadell welcomed Wansheng into the office and said to several people, "Then we will start preparing for next season!"
...
Manchester City's Big Four held a brief meeting in the office to prepare for the transfer work in the summer.
There is no specific content, just let everyone do their own thing.
Malwood is responsible for taking care of youth training. In the summer, you can recruit some outstanding young people from Manchester to join the team. At the same time, you should also call on the club's scouts to see if the small team has good seeds and can dig to enrich the Manchester City youth team.
Bi Knicks has to cooperate with Wan Sheng's idea and the team's situation to carry out cumbersome transfer work.
This is also the main task in summer.
What Wan Sheng needs to consider is the team planning for next season, what players should be added to each position, which player does not work, and so on.
To be continued...
