Chapter 5: Ultimatum

News of Daley being removed from his captain position soon spread throughout the club. After the game, the conflict between Daley and coach John also shocked Xie Zhoushen. The club's senior management immediately ordered the internal news to be blocked, strictly prohibited from being promoted, and summoned Ouyang Ao on the afternoon of the next day. The team's current situation is very bad. Although the season started less than halfway, the worst start in history has already made fans very dissatisfied. If there is another locker room conflict at this time, it will inevitably bring more negative impacts that are unfavorable to the team.

When Daly was removed from his position as captain Daly, Ouyang Ao knew that the club's chairman would come to him. Daly is a veteran of Xie Zhoushe and also the spiritual leader of the team. Although he is 37 years old, his contribution to the team is indelible. With the current team's poor record, Chairman Michael cannot sit idly by. But Ouyang Ao didn't know that Michael would stand on his side or Daly in today's conversation. However, it is quite possible to stand on Daly. After all, the quality of the team's record will directly affect the head coach's position in the mind of the chairman. More importantly, he is too young and 27 years old. This is really an inconvincing age. Once there is a conflict in the locker room, people can easily summarize the problem in his experience.

27 and 37, this is not just the difference in numbers.

Ouyang Ao took a deep breath and then pushed open the office door of club chairman Michael.

Michael sat upright on the chair, not as expected by Ouyang Ao, his face was not good-looking.

Michael is 58 years old this year. Thanks to his usual attention to maintenance, he looks much younger than his actual age. However, the anger on his face at this moment destroyed the peace and intimacy he was originally born with.

"John, I think you should understand the purpose of me coming here today." Michael began his opening remark with an aggressive tone.

Faced with Michael's questioning, Ouyang Ao was actually mentally prepared before. After the game, he returned home and thought about the various problems he was facing. There is no doubt that youth is his biggest disadvantage. I believe that youth is a capital worthy of pride in this world. You have strong advantages in many jobs, but in the position of head coach as a manager, it is just the opposite. In addition to the performance of a team, the more important thing is the management of personnel. The locker room is a place of special significance. It is not just a place to change clothes, but more importantly, an important platform for communication between players and players, players and coaches. The harmony of the locker room is the basis for the team's record. Therefore, an excellent coach must not only make accurate judgments with extraordinary wisdom in the game, but also ensure the maintenance of the locker room atmosphere.

The maintenance of the locker room atmosphere is directly related to the head coach's prestige, so being too young is not a good thing. At least in terms of prestige, an elderly coach and a young coach in his early twenties must be better than the latter.

What's more, Ouyang Ao is still a poor young man who has no outstanding record.

But after returning home and calmed down and thinking, Ouyang Ao did not regret his decision to remove Daly's captain. He wanted to re-establish his prestige through tough measures. He reminded himself that he is no longer the otaku who is bullied, but the head coach of Xie Zhoushen club. If he wants to continue in the field of football circle, he must make changes. At the same time, this is also a reflection of defeating himself. Ouyang Ao does not want to repeat a failed life, so he is more eager to fundamentally change himself and take Daly's surgery, which is also an important step in his new life.

"I understand, Mr. Michael, before you take your anger on me, I would like to ask a question first, who is the top level of the pyramid of the staff structure of the club?" Ouyang Ao asked calmly.

Michael was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Ouyang Ao to ask him in reverse, but he still replied subconsciously: "If the consortium supported by him is not included, the chairman is the top level of the club."

"What's next?"

Michael frowned slightly: "What do you want to explain to the coaching staff, then the players, and then the staff? This has nothing to do with our conversation today."

Ouyang Ao shook his head: "No, no, Mr. Michael, what I want to ask is related to the topic we are talking about today. You are right. The players are at the back of the coaching staff. So I want to ask, if a player violates the authority of the head coach and seriously affects the unity of the team?"

Anyone who understands can hear who the "a certain player" in Ouyang Ao's mouth refers to. Michael now understands it. Ouyang Ao is going around in circles and tells him that he is just using the rights that the coach deserves.

"You are right. You have the right to revoke Daly's captain position, but the team's situation is not optimistic now. If you make such a decision at this time, don't you know how much impact this matter will have on the club if it is known by the media?" Michael's face looked a little ugly again.

Michael defeated his competitors in the past two years and reached the high position of the club chairman. After taking the lead, he quickly proposed the idea of ​​the team taking a younger route. His proposal was supported by fans and approved by the club's senior management. The proposal was soon implemented. The first step of the reform is the rejuvenation of the team's head coach. Young people can bring new ideas and new things. It is precisely because of this that John, who has suffered a major injury, retired early and has just passed the coaching qualification certificate, was able to take office as Xie Zhousan's head coach.

But in Michael's opinion, this proposal was simply a stupid proposal. He even began to regret that he had just hired such an inexperienced guy as the team's coach when he was in trouble.

Ouyang Ao still looked calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him: "I understand what you said, but I understand even more how serious the consequences will be caused by being a player who is not convinced by the head coach's command, especially when the player is still the team captain, so for the team, I have to do this."

"God! If Xie Zhou Wednesday is now ranked first in the standings, I will not ask about everything you do. Even if you terminated Daly, you see, the team has only scored a pitiful 9 points now. You should understand that I invited you back to make the team's performance better, not to get the worst start in history!!" Michael roared angrily, and even blue veins burst out on his forehead.

Ouyang Ao did not expect to avoid this scolding. The master of this body coaching was indeed too terrible. Michael's rage was reasonable. He only hoped that today's conversation would buy him more time. If Michael fired him in anger now, it would be miserable.

"Mr. Michael, I admit that the team's previous state did not meet the heights that fans expected, but I plead for you to give me some more time and believe me, I will let Xie Zhoubai return to the championship ranks." Ouyang Ao's tone was very slow, but his eyes were very confident.

Michael stared at Ouyang Ao for two minutes before saying, "How much time do you need?"

"If the team's record is still so bad within a month, then you don't have to vent me, and I will quit voluntarily."

Michael took a deep breath, the muscles on his face jumped, as if he was making a difficult decision. Half a minute later, he said coldly: "One week, I will give you a week. Next week, away against Plymouth, that is your last chance. If the team wins, you will get more opportunities to prove yourself. If you lose, then there will be only one result and the get out of class will be terminated!"
