Chapter 120 Morris's Urgency
On the way to the office building, Gligoli didn't say a word.
Ebenezer walked side by side with him, and also lowered his head to think about things, as if he had no intention of speaking.
Both of them had the same thing as before.
Ebenizer came to the club in the morning, and Gligory was called to the first team training ground as soon as he arrived. Neither of them knew what was going on. They thought Zhang Yang would summarize yesterday's game or emphasize team discipline.
This is normal.
That Chinese is so young!
It is difficult to have majesty in the team at such an age, so it is normal to find two people to "be a backer", because in recent times, both of them have agreed to support them with great support.
But unexpectedly, what Zhang Yang wants to talk about is upgrading!
"New goal? Upgrade?"
When I reached the entrance of the building, Gligery stopped and sighed, "It seems that I am really old! Since I was the chairman, I have never thought about leading Millwall to the Premier League! Maybe I had hoped for it before, but that was already very far away! Just yesterday, I was thinking about waiting for Dennis to come back, whether they can live in peace. You know, there is only one head coach, but Zhang's team leader has a good result, but now I find that there is no need to bother."
"If Zhang can lead the team to upgrade, it won't matter even if Dennis leaves." Ebenezer continued.
"I think so, but I don't know if he can do it."
Ebenezer suddenly laughed, "But speaking of it, this kid is really good! That's an upgrade to the Premier League! If we can do it, our name will definitely be left in the history of the club!"
Gligery also smiled, "After listening to Zhang's words just now, I felt a few years younger, and I felt full of motivation!"
"That might be what he wants to see. You know, the team hasn't done much energy recently, so Zhang sets a new goal for the team."
"But this goal is really..."
Gligory didn't know how to describe it for a moment, so he simply said, "It's really amazing! It's far away! It's full of creativity! But I like it very much!"
"Me too."
"Then let's continue watching!"

First team training ground.
The team members were doing morning warm-up running laps. Zhang Yang stood in the middle of the stadium, took out a small notebook in his hand, occasionally looked up at the team, and recorded with a pen on it.
Two assistant coaches, Frederick and Alders, set an example and ran with the team, but they were just at the end of the team, probably only followed them for two or three laps, and then went to the field to wait.
After all, they do not have the physical fitness of players.
When the players ran to the second lap, Frederick and Alders had been pulled down for most of the lap, and the team behind them were almost catching up. The two of them didn't care, just chatting while jogging.
Frederick was panting and his voice was quite loud, "Madman! He is just a madman!"
"Upgrade? It's crazy!"
"I can't imagine it! I never thought about it anyway. I don't think it's too difficult to have a chance! For us!"
Frederick kept talking.
Alders said, "I think there is a chance. Now we are the seventh one, just go further."
"There is also an upgrade play-off! Four teams compete for one place, how easy is it? And it is difficult to maintain the results. We tied the game in the last game!" Seeing Alders say 'there is a chance', Frederick immediately refuted.
His salary is also very high, with a weekly salary of nearly £20,000.
Millwall's average player salary is only a few thousand pounds per week. Some of the older players who are on the verge of being still getting an "apprentice contract" and their salary is negligible.
This is the gap.
When people are in different positions, their ideas are different.
Most players can reach the level of Morris and become the core of a Championship team. A weekly salary of 20,000 pounds is enough to brag for a lifetime, but he is different because he grew up with the halo of "genius".
Jody Morris was born in Chelsea youth training camp.
In the whole of Europe, Chelsea's youth training camp is no big deal. Not to mention the famous Spanish La Mania youth training camp (Barcelona) and Castilla youth training camp (Real Madrid), there is also a certain gap with Manchester United and Arsenal youth training in the same league. But for English football only, Chelsea youth training camp is also the cradle of genius.
Morris was once a genius!
As early as ten years ago, when he was only seventeen years old, he was promoted to the first team of Chelsea and represented Chelsea in the Premier League.
At that time, almost everyone thought that he would become a big star in the future, and it was only a matter of time.
He is only seventeen years old!
He is only twenty years old in the top league for three seasons. The other 20-year-old geniuses are still in the youth team, and he has three seasons of experience.
"In the future, Jody will not lose to Beckham or Michael Irving! He will stand at the top of English football!"
This was the comment from the British media at that time.
But after spending several seasons in Chelsea's first team, he is still a marginal substitute, with only a dozen appearances per season, and most of them are still in the useless League Cup, where the league is just a substitute.
He was still young at that time.
In order to have more opportunities to play, he resolutely chose to leave.
He went to Rotherham.
He went to Leeds United.
Those were two painful failure experiences. He was neither appreciated by the head coach nor had he performed much. It was not until Millwall that he was appreciated by Dennis Wise, thus finding a suitable position - the midfield and frontcourt, and became the core of the team and the engine of the midfield.
Morris was very unwilling to accept it.
Since the start of the morning training, I have been thinking about Zhang Yang's words, "Human desires are endless. If you have money, you will want to make more money, and the same is true for professional football." Isn't that the same?
With the experience of "Chelsea genius", he urgently wanted to rise again and let everyone know that he was still the Chelsea genius, eager to return to the top league and prove his ability in the face of his old club.
Let them know that it is wrong to give up on themselves!
Let them know that they will succeed if they leave Chelsea!
But he is already twenty-seven years old.
One season, another, as his age grew, his fighting spirit was about to be wiped out. In the last two seasons, it was impossible for him to fight.
Now there is a chance!
Morris listened silently to his teammates' discussion, but he didn't say a word, but he felt more urgent and excited than anyone else.
Upgrading to the Premier League?
Chapter completed!
