Chapter 132 A Warm Note
That night, many media published changes in the top six rankings of the English Championship.
Millwall ranked sixth in the league and was at the end, but he was a newly ranked player and was introduced by media reports.
The Times used the comments of "Mirwall" to report, "Milwall squeezed out the Wolves and ranked sixth in the Championship, which can be described as "Mirwall". From Christmas to now, Millwall has only tied two games, and all the remaining ones have won. They have risen from the 17th league to the 6th league. They are the best-performing Championship team in December, January and February!"
"This may be related to changing coaches. During Christmas, Millwall changed the head coach, Zhang Yang, an unknown young Chinese, took the coaching post. At that time, no one believed that he could lead the team to achieve good results, but he used his results to prove that the choice of changing coaches was correct."
"Milwall had to consider relegation before, but now he had to consider upgrading. It's a 'miracle' reversal."
The Manchester Sports newspaper in the north also talked about Millwall, "a team full of magic, is still working hard for relegation in the first half of the schedule, but now it can cheer for upgrades."
"Their newly appointed young Chinese coach has outstanding coaching performance. There have been many reports that Millwall's better performance is supported by many factors, but catching up with a good opportunity is also a reflection of ability. No one can deny the results they have obtained. We should probably keep a close eye on Millwall for a long time and look forward to their next performance."
The Sun, considered to be an entertainment gossip and good at reporting gossip, also talked about Millwall on the sports page.
However, the perspective of their analysis is not Mirwall's entire team, but Zhang Yang's personal performance. "This young Chinese coach led Mirwall to have a brilliant record! Compared with the head coach of a professional team, the 22-year-old is too young, and his handsome appearance is also very attractive. There are probably many women who are attracted by him. What else is more tempting and attractive than finding a 22-year-old professional club head coach as a boyfriend?"
In reports from various major media, Millwall Club became popular, and Zhang Yang also became popular. In one day, the number of Weibo fans of "personality Zhang Yang" exceeded the order of 400,000.
Perhaps it was the Sun's boost to the fire, and a large number of the newly paid fans are female fans.
There are also various comments-
"Does Zhang Yang have a girlfriend?"
"He looks so gentle."
"I like this type. He is the head coach? It's incredible!"
"I think I've fallen in love with him! If the 22-year-old head coach is dating him, it will definitely be a different experience!"
“…”
These messages are still in public messages, and there are more messages in the private mailbox, and the contents in them are really exposed----
"If I said I fell in love with you, you wouldn't believe it, but I don't mind what happened to you on a beautiful night!"
"This is my phone number: XXXXXXX, call me! Wait for you!"
"I'm in London too! Do you need a female companion?"
"Today I asked God: I am fascinated by you, what should I do? God said: You are born with a pair..."
“…”
Zhang Yang looked at it one by one and his vanity was greatly satisfied, but he could only take a look at these things at will. If he took them seriously, he would fall into the trap. CF sounds good, but if he did so, he would have a lot of trouble in the future.
He could only take a look.
On the same day, Zhang Yang also received news from Andy that he had already negotiated with the BBC program team that the cost of serving as a guest was 11,000 pounds.
The price is a bit surprising.
When Zhang Yang went to the radio team as a guest, the fee for each episode was only 3,000 pounds. This was the result of hard work. Has it been more than 10,000 pounds on TV?
Andy also complained, "That's because you don't understand the market."
"The fees for those famous retired stars, famous football coaches, club management, and guests are all over 20,000 pounds, and some can even get 50,000 pounds, and there will be even higher. This is because of live broadcasts of over 10 million people, and other national TV stations will purchase broadcast rights. More than 10,000 pounds are cheap enough."
"Andy, your work efficiency is very high!" Zhang Yang praised sincerely.
Zhang Yang is not good at bargaining, while Andy is good at work in this area. Although Andy doesn't make it clear, the BBC's offer will not reach 10,000 pounds. The extra one must be helped by Andy.
This is what the agent does.
———
The BBC Champions League live program team is a big sports program. The commentator is Reinkell, and the direct person in charge of the program team is Reinkell's friend Harris, who is a senior manager of the BBC headquarters.
The second round of the Champions League quarterfinals is about to start.
The focus of the whole world is on the battle between Chelsea and Barcelona in the Premier League, and the preparations for the BBC live game are also very early. In the past two weeks, they have been planning the live game.
The commentator of this game is Gary Reinker.
Ringer has always been the chief commentator of the BBC Champions League. Twenty years ago, he was the leading scorer of the England team and won the Golden Boot for the 1986 World Cup. He has a lot of support from fans. After working as a commentator, he was humorous and professional commentator, which also allowed more people to support him.
The commentator was decided, but the guest candidate could not be decided.
In such an important game, the guests are also very important. If you find a guest who only has fame but no level, the fans will complain and the level of live broadcast will drop a lot. Therefore, the invited guests should not only be famous, but their level is much more important than fame.
The BBC column group has formulated several candidates.
Among them are the famous football coach Redknapp, the FA member Derek, and other famous football players. The column team could not determine the candidate even after discussing it.
At this time, Leinker recommended Zhang Yang.
"I think he is very skilled. You can check out his Weibo and there are many fans supporting him. Of course, you probably know this young man, and many people know him. Now he is the head coach of Millwall and has become a very controversial figure. He was originally a BBC employee, so he might be able to serve as a guest."
"In fact, I've wanted to work with him for a long time, but unfortunately I haven't had a chance."
When Leinker made a suggestion, many people in the column group held support. Not everyone in the BBC believed in Zhang Yang's level. More importantly, Zhang Yang is a recent "controversial figure". He led Mirwall to achieve unprecedented good results. Many media talked about him, and many fans also knew about him.
Although I don’t know how long this passion will last, it is much more interesting to invite him as a commentator than to invite a football celebrity in the old-fashioned way.
So Zhang Yang was invited.
The BBC column group started with a price of only 5,000 pounds. They thought Zhang Yang was still young and definitely not as good as those football celebrities, but Andy is a BBC employee and he couldn't understand the "market".
After some price adjustment and bargaining, the price was set at 11,000 pounds.
The next day was Monday, and Zhang Yang had an early morning. Although it was a day off, he still went to the club and arranged for David Livermore's extra training.
Brono Burley has arrived.
Recently, Burley became David Livermore's professional coach, and Zhang Yang also asked Ebenezer to give Burley a double salary for "overtime" to work, so Burley's work motivation is more sufficient. The coach coaching work of twice the salary is enough to make him earn enough for his own life.
That's already very good.
In the past, Burley only regarded coaching work as extra money because he had the opportunity to guide the training of children or youth teams. The youth team could not intervene at all. Naturally, there is no need to say much about the salary, he was just a "temporary worker" coach of the club.
Now that you can make more money, it may also help him and firmly become a professional coach.
Zhang Yang waited for David Livermore, and then the two ran around the stadium for two laps. He was panting and tired. Livermore still looked energetic, as if the running lap just now was completely different.
"A simple-minded guy, he is indeed well-developed in all fours!"
Zhang Yang felt very unbalanced, and despised Livermore in his heart, and found some balance a little.
"That guy is in good health."
Burley walked to Zhang Yang, looked at Livermore in the distance, and exclaimed, "I have never seen someone with such good physical fitness, and it's okay to run a few laps."
"Why don't you follow me?"
Looking at Burley who was "lazy", Zhang Yang wanted to find some confidence.
"Me? I don't want to run away. You know, I ran here from home, it's five kilometers."
“…”
Zhang Yang realized that Burley was originally a youth team player, so he would definitely have no problem with his physical fitness.
He thought it would be better to leave.
When he returned home at noon, Catherine was busy cleaning. When she saw Zhang Yang, she was a little surprised, "Don't you have to work today?"
“It’s holiday today.”
"I thought you were going to work, and I ordered takeout. Should I eat it together?" Catherine asked.
"Is there my share?"
Catherine shrugged, "You can't eat much anyway. If you have John's appetite, I will definitely not say that."
Zhang Yang pulled the corner of his mouth.
Today seemed a little uncomfortable, and even the appetite was despised by women, but it was better to have a meal than to eat outside. He nodded and rubbed lunch with a thick face. After the meal, he took a nap on the sofa for a while. When he woke up, he saw a blanket on his body, and he couldn't help feeling a little warmth in his heart.
Seeing that the time was about the same, Zhang Yang stood up and prepared to go out. He was going to Stamford Bridge Stadium to serve as a BBC guest and explain the game with Ringer. Before leaving, he wrote a small note and placed it on the dining table: "Thank you for the blanket, it's very warm.
Remember to watch the game between Chelsea and Barcelona at night.
open."
Zhang Yang found it very interesting. It seemed that when he was back in his student days, boys and girls passed on a small note, but they were afraid that they would be caught by the teacher, but they couldn't help but write a few sentences.
When he left the door, he was a little worried about Catherine's misunderstanding.
Chapter completed!
