Chapter 50 The biggest gain

Many people do not believe in Zhang Yang's ability to direct competitions, and think that it is "luck" and that it is "guessing the game".

During the entire game, Zhang Yang only had one substitution in the second half to achieve results.

That can be called 'luck'.

The other three "lack-up" defenses were simply impossible for outsiders to see, because Sunderland did not create a threat. The first goal in the second half, Zhang Yang raised his hand half a minute in advance to celebrate, but it was considered a "show".

As for the two Weibo messages in the first half, Weibo fans have become accustomed to it, which can only be explained as "guessing the game accurately" and has little to do with the ability to direct the game.

This is what many people understand.

Denise Wise should have been the special one. Zhang Yang's two positive reminders in the first half were proved to be correct. The details of the second half were not stated yet. Millwall's ability to reverse and defeat Sunderland is the biggest proof.

After the game, Zhang Yang also became a celebrity in the locker room, and many players were excited to ask various questions.

This is also a kind of recognition.

No matter what others think, Denise Wise should believe that Zhang Yang has a certain level of ability.

But Denise Wise didn't want to believe it.

There are too many personal emotions in his heart that he cannot view them from a neutral perspective.

It's like he always hopes that he can achieve results in coaching, but the reality is cruel. He almost does nothing as the head coach, and his only performance is mostly on the court.

For example, his first impression of Zhang Yang is that he is a "speculative Weibo celebrity", and his first impression is always difficult to change.

Perhaps most importantly, Denise Wise is not willing to believe that a person who has nothing to do with football, who leads Millwall in the competition, can be better than someone who has played professional football for nearly twenty years and has a very deep understanding of football.

This is a denial of him.

Denise Wise is not alone, and there is still one who doesn't believe in Zhang Yang's ability. Even if victory and facts are in front of him, he is not willing to believe it at all, that is the team's assistant coach Frederick Lawton.

Frederick had no 'personal affairs' to deal with. He lay on the sofa and watched the whole game carefully. He didn't even miss a shot. He kept muttering, "Lost! Lose!"

It was okay in the first half, and Sunderland scored.

The 'storm changes' in the second half, and at the last moment, Millwall actually overtook the score?

Frederick's teeth were almost bitten off. He deeply regretted giving up the position of the first assistant coach to Zhang Yang, "Otherwise, wouldn't it be me who showed off in the game?"

"The media will praise me then! The fans will praise me!"

"Maybe this victory will make me the head coach who is not the head coach! All the players will listen to me! When Wise leaves, I will become the head coach of the team!"

Frederick had never thought at all whether he would win the game with the team. According to his thinking logic, "That young Chinese can win even if he followed him. If it were me, it would definitely be more than 2-1!"

So Frederick became even more angry.

Frederick soon found comfort in his heart. When the team arranged training the next morning, everyone followed his command, including the player and leader Denise Wise.

The training ground is his territory.

In terms of directing daily training, Frederick has nearly ten years of work experience and everything can be arranged properly. He suddenly remembered that he should exchange his experience with Zhang Yang and see how the young Chinese arranged training for the team. When the time comes, he can sarcasm, ridicule, and hit the opponent's impression in the players' hearts.

Frederick felt that this method could relieve his anger, and he was very proud of his IQ.

But soon he found that Zhang Yang could not be found.

"Where is that Chinese?"

Frederick asked Denise Wise, who was also a little puzzled, "I don't know, I didn't see him in the morning!"

Frederick asked several people in a row, as well as the club's staff, the cleaners in charge of sanitation, the security guards in the gate, etc., but they did not see Zhang Yang.

Frederick was overjoyed!

That young Chinese was late, and he was so late! This was the second day of his work, or in other words, this huge problem arose on the first day of his real work. So what if he leads the team to win a game with luck?

What would Gligory think?

This is the main thing.

Frederick went to the chairman's office and found Gligory was not there, so he went to find Ebenezer.

"Zhang Yang is late!"

Frederick made a report with great momentum.

Ebenezer was sorting out a document. He stopped and looked at Frederick, with some confusion in his eyes, "Late?"

"He hasn't come to work yet!"

Ebenezer nodded and said without caring at all, "I get it, Lawton, thank you."

Frederick was quite dissatisfied with Ebenezer's reaction, "Is he late? On the first day of work..."

"Yesterday was the first day!" said Ebenezer. "Today is not his workday."

"Not a working day? What are you talking about!"

"Don't you know? Zhang Yang's position name is 'match instructor', not an assistant coach. He only needs to come on game day." Ebenezer explained. "I hope he can be hardworking and getting familiar with the players is good. But he obviously thinks that it is better to rest at home if he doesn't have a salary."

"Only match day? Work overtime?"

Frederick was stunned.

When he returned to the first team training ground, he stomped his feet suddenly and said angrily, "This guy only comes on the game day? I always do the training work on weekdays. On the game day, he will take over the first assistant coaching job?"

"Damn it! Hun egg!"

In Frederick's heart, Zhang Yang suddenly upgraded to a "mortal enemy"!

———

Just when Frederick was extremely angry about Zhang Yang's work, Zhang Yang was lying halfway on the sofa, looking at the newspapers delivered in the morning, with a tablet on his legs.

There are more than twenty newspapers, which John ordered every day.

It includes major newspapers such as The Times and The Sun, as well as tabloids such as London Sports and British Football Daily, most of which are related to football.

Zhang Yang looked through the content related to the Millwall game in the newspaper.

Yesterday was Tuesday, with only one round of the English Champions League. Many of the news related to football in the newspapers are related to the English Championship. Millwall defeated Sunderland at home is also an unpopular. There are many reports, most of them talking about him.

Just like the report from "London Sports", "Milwall changed his first assistant coach. No one would have thought that it would be a Weibo celebrity famous for game analysis, "single personality". He was only in his early twenties and looked smaller than most players, but he became Millwall's assistant coach. In the second half, after Denise Wise appeared, he became the interim head coach."

"'Personality' has always been lucky. Maybe he brought his luck to Millwall. Millwall scored two goals in the second half and defeated Sunderland at home."

British Football Daily focused on Chang Yang's early celebration of the goal, "That's very interesting! When Millwall launched a counterattack, he raised his arm in advance. But no one expected that Millwall would score after that, it was like he was controlling the goal."

"This funny scene appears at Neal Stadium, which will definitely add a lot of topics to the fans."

As a big media, the Times report should be more serious, but the narrative text is also pitifully small. "We cannot deny the role of 'characteristics' in the game, but whether this is luck or real ability to lead the team still needs time to test!"

The Sun did not talk about the game at all, and the report was like gossip. "Milwall made history. They invited a young Chinese in his early twenties and had no professional football experience as an assistant coach! I don't know if he will appear next, but Miilwall might consider keeping him, and they will get more attention because of this!"

The reports and analysis were both good and bad.

Some were joking and sarcasm, and some were recognition and expectation, but no matter what the content was, Zhang Yang kept reading patiently. He was a little happy because it was all about his own news.

This is the first time that he has been reported by many media.

After reading all the reports, Zhang Yang was a little tired. He lay on the sofa, turned on the tablet, and saw the number of fans on Weibo, and his heart was filled with satisfaction again.

Sixty-three thousand six hundred and seventy-nine!

Since the end of Millwall's game yesterday afternoon, Weibo fans have been growing, and the number has increased by more than 33,000.

This is not a small number.

The number of British fans is limited, the population in the London region is limited, and the number of Millwall fans is also limited.

Although Weibo fans are not limited to 'British fans' and 'London Region', most of the fans who are following on the whole are within the range. When the number of fans reaches the order of 100,000, it becomes extremely difficult to increase it.
