Jodrick came a little late.

Millwall Club contacted Jodrick and asked him to come to the club. It was not possible to say the interview. It was just that both parties would understand. If Jodrick was willing to come to work, he would be ready to sign a contract directly.

This is the treatment of senior talents.

Most people have to look for a job and take written tests and interviews to prove their abilities. Senior talents are different. They are the focus of headhunting companies and will recommend them to many companies, and they are not worried about whether they can sign a contract.

Jodrick is such a talent.

Zhang Yang got Jodrick's resume introduction, and after reading it one by one, he was looking forward to seeing the other person--

Jodrick Fishburn, 36, PhD in sports training at Manchester Sports University, and Master in Sports Human Science at Manchester Sports University. Lecturer in Sports Physiology at Manchester Sports University, and part-time physical coach at Southampton Club.

Jodrick worked for the Southampton Club for four years and did not continue to renew his contract when the contract expired last month.

This brief introduction shows Jodrick's excellence. The title of Master and PhD alone is gorgeous enough. He also serves as a lecturer in sports physiology courses at Manchester Sports University, and he must have a certain level. He worked as a part-time physical coach at Southampton Club for four years, which also proves Jodrick's familiarity with football physical coaching. He is not only a theoretical scholar, but also has long-term practical experience as a physical coach.

Half a month ago, Millwall Club contacted Jodrick, but the latter seemed a little hesitant and found a reason to refuse, and did not come to Millwall Club.

I thought there was no chance, but Jodrick took the initiative to contact him and planned to come over and take a look.

In the small conference room of the office building, Zhang Yang and Ebenezer met Jodrick together.

Jodrick is a little thin, with black-framed eyes on the bridge of his nose, looking a little scholarly at first glance, and his long brown curly hair makes his overall temperament a little awkward.

This is an opportunity to interview each other.

Zhang Yang, Ebenezer wants to see Jodrick to see if he has the ability to help the team. Jodrick also wants to see if his work content and environment are suitable for him, because his main job is to serve as a lecturer at Manchester Sports University.

After a brief introduction, Zhang Yang took the initiative to talk about the team's situation, "I need to hire a professional physical coach who can help our players maintain physical fitness during the season."

Jodrick smiled and did not answer directly, but said, "I worked in Southampton for a few years. Two weeks ago, I went to the Wigan Athletic Club. The head coach of Wigan Athletics also said that. He hoped that I would help their players maintain physical fitness during the season, but that's what layman said. No one has the ability to make a long-term player maintain enough physical fitness for a long time. Do you understand that?"

Zhang Yang frowned slightly and nodded, "Of course, no one will do it. I just hope to give the players more physical fitness. Also, can you tell me why I didn't choose Wigan Athletic?"

"I hope to go to Wigan Athletics," Jodrick said. "Wigan is not far from Manchester, so that will be easy. But Wigan Athletics is only willing to hire a regular physical coach, so I refused."

Zhang Yang and Ebenezer looked at each other, and both of them understood what Jodrick meant. Perhaps it was the salary that Wigan Athletics had given, which made Jodrick not very satisfied.

This guy is so proud!

However, Zhang Yang ignored how much salary Jodrick received. That is the problem that the club should worry about. He only cares whether Jodrick is capable of helping the team. "So let me talk about the requirements. I hope you will give me some data support. For example, which players have problems with their physical fitness, how much risk is there for playing, which players are suitable for playing, and what their physical fitness is like. In addition, I also need you to help the team develop detailed physical training, recovery plans, and detailed how many trainings each player will do every day so that it will not affect the normal state. So, do you understand what I mean?"

Jodrick smiled, “That’s exactly what I’m good at.”

After hearing the other party's affirmative reply, Zhang Yang had no problem, and the next negotiations were handed over to Ebenezer.

Jodrick's ability will not be a problem.

A resume cannot explain anything, but a gorgeous resume can always make people feel at ease. Jodrick is a lecturer at the University of Manchester and has obtained a double degree in PhD and Master. There is no problem with the theory. He worked in Southampton before and must have rich experience.

Southampton is not an ordinary club.

Before this season, Southampton has always been a Premier League team. Teams that can stay in the Premier League for a long time are much better than Millwall. Jodrick's departure is probably related to Southampton's relegation. When a team is relegated, in order to maintain financial balance, it will definitely have to cut expenses. Not only sell high-paying players, but also unnecessary expenses within the club must be reduced. Jodrick's departure is understandable.

Next, both sides began to discuss the treatment issue.

Jodrick spoke out a lot, asking for a weekly salary of no less than 4,000 pounds and only working two days a week. When Ebenezer heard this, he almost refused.

Generally, physical coaches work full-time and are also responsible for many assistant coaches. Some physical coaches will lead the youth team or become formal assistant coaches.

Jodrick is only willing to work two days a week and will definitely not be responsible for other tasks besides the first team's physical fitness.

The salary of ordinary physical coaches is not too high, and their weekly salary is generally around 2,000 to 3,000 pounds, which is lower than that of formal assistant coaches in the Premier League.

Jodrick asked for a weekly salary of 4,000 pounds, and his salary level was enough to meet Frederick, Alders and others.

Ebenizer was determined to knock him away directly, but considering the current situation of the team, after asking Zhang Yang's opinions, he could only continue to talk. Finally, under Zhang Yang's insistence, the two sides reached an agreement.

Jodrick signed a contract for two years and earned 3500 pounds a week, but there is a three-month probation period. When the probation period ends, Millwall Club unilaterally terminates the contract, and he will receive a "breakup fee" of 30,000 pounds.

This is definitely a high standard contract.

Zhang Yang welcomed Jodrick's signing. He didn't care how much Jodrick earned or how big the contract he signed, and he didn't pay it himself anyway.

Jodrick looks very reliable, and the most important thing is to help the team.

———

Millwall Club and Jodrick signed internally, and the contract started next Monday, and Jodrick would not start working next week, but before leaving, Jodrick told Zhang Yang, "I think I should prepare for the work."

"Do you want me to help?"

"Of course." Jodrick said, "I hope to get some understanding of Millwall."

"Do you introduce the players to you? Or do you take you around?"

Jodrick shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to know anyone or see the scenery. That doesn't matter. I need everyone's physical data. Of course, it's better to have a blood sample. It would be better if it was the latest extract."

Zhang Yang pulled the corner of his mouth.

The professionals are really different and think that this method is to "understand Millwall", but Jodrick started working early, which is of course good news. Zhang Yang returned to the training ground and asked Alders to gather the team, and then asked everyone to go to the infirm for a physical examination.

Soon Jodrick got what he wanted.

He worked with team doctor Davis in the infirmary, then said hello to Zhang Yang and left.

"He is really professional." Davis commented and asked Xiang Zhangyang, "Is it your friend? I think he can take over my job."

"It's the new physical coach."

"It turned out to be a colleague in the future, that's great. He just mentioned a few things about the relationship between data and physical fitness. This is the first time I have heard a discussion that is so detailed."

"He is very powerful?" Zhang Yang asked.

Davis smiled, "The club has really brought in a pretty amazing guy."

"That's good!"

Zhang Yang was more at ease than before.

Jodrick's work has not officially begun, but Millwall has to face the upcoming war.

Arsenal is not an easy opponent to deal with.

Many media have already started hype. The confrontation between the two teams is not an ordinary league. Arsenal is one of the "Fourth in the Premier League" and is also a recognized giant club in Europe.

Millwall is the 'Premier Dark Horse'.

The Premier League has been held for five rounds, and two teams are considered dark horses. One is Charlton, who is a long-term middle-level player. Charlton lost to Chelsea in only one of the five games in the game 0-2, and all other games won.

Millwall is even darker.

As a newly promoted team, they only drew one game, won all other games, and their league rankings rose to second place, second only to Chelsea, who won all five rounds.

When the "second-generation champion in the league" encounters a giant at home, it is very exciting to see what sparks will be created. Many media also pay attention to Millwall's performance, because Millwall's tactical playing style has been debated by many people in the football world, and their performance will also become a focus.

As the focus of attention, Zhang Yang is also studying Arsenal.

Arsenal is also a team with a unique style. As always, they stick to their style, attractive and smooth playing style are their signature. With the style of offensive football, Arsenal can become one of the top teams in England, which is enough to prove their strength.

Arsenal ranked second in the league last season.

So far this season, it ranks eighth in the league with three wins and two losses, but the strength of a team is not a five-round league ranking. One of the two games Arsenal lost is a big battle with Chelsea.

Zhang Yang is looking forward to the game.
