Chapter 42 Dinner
Dinner was held in a private room at a Chinese restaurant in Monaco. Zhang Mu didn't want the players of the team to be asked to sign and take photos in the hall like monkeys.
All the coaching staff members and players of the first team participated, and three large tables were made to fill the table.
Speaking of which, Zhang Mu is very familiar with his players, but in the coaching team, he is only familiar with his reserve team's assistant coach Petit and Bielhof, who is half-player and half-coach. As for another assistant coach, a goalkeeper coach and physical coach, he has no idea about it.
Goalkeeper coach Palmer was Monaco's goalkeeper when he was a player. After retiring, he stayed directly in the first team as goalkeeper coach. He was a veteran, but Zhang Mu had been working in the youth team and the reserve team and was not very familiar with it.
The physical fitness coach Kingsley was specially hired by the club from Germany at the request of Deschamps last season. It is said that he has strong abilities and many kinds of physical training, which is very popular and loved by the players.
But another assistant coach is not that easy to meet.
Armstrong has been an assistant coach in the first team for ten years and is the oldest coach in the team. Last season, he worked with Zhang Mu for a short period of time, but there was no conflict.
He has never had the experience of coaching the team alone, which has always been a regret in his heart.
After Deschamps was dismissed, as the coach who was most familiar with the first team, he was originally a candidate for the coach, which made him very happy.
The dream that had always been possible finally come true. He didn't think that Zhang Mu, a young guy who was so young, would be his opponent, and he was about to stand on the top stage.
But when the candidate for the coach was settled, he was so disappointed and unwilling. In his heart, why did Zhang Mu compete with him? It was just because of his family background and success at a young age.
He had already hated Zhang Mu. This shameless guy stole the coach of his first team. How could he not resent?
Since the team's training, Zhang Mu's eyes were full of resentment and hostility.
This also made Zhang Mu puzzled. He didn't know where he offended this old assistant coach. Could it be that he just sat on his head because he was too young?
Alas, it seems that age is really a problem. Maybe only when you make enough achievements will others ignore this problem.
###
In fact, Zhang Mu is a bit of a bad taste when he comes to eat Chinese food. In his previous life, he always heard that foreigners who had never eaten Chinese food always came to eat with forks, which was funny and funny, so today I plan to see this kind of laughable scene with my own eyes.
But he really miscalculated. Chinese food is very popular abroad and almost few people have never eaten it. So when he saw the team members holding chopsticks, they were very steadily picking up the dishes into their mouths, they were so depressed.
But this is just his bad taste. Although he didn't see the funny scene, he still did not forget the point of the dinner.
On this occasion, there is no need to divide the coaches and players. Although several old coaches chatted gracefully on the side, Zhang Mu got along with the players, toasted with juice and drank happily, but the more convenient times they went to the toilet.
The coach Zhang Mu played a leading role, and the captain Roten was naturally not willing to fall behind. He led the players to play games on the table. Although there was really no wine, he was angry but very good. The players enhanced their feelings while playing and joking. Zhang Mu's thoughts were not in vain. Although this dinner was expensive, it was still worth it.
However, this group activity in Monaco was photographed by paparazzi lurking in a corner, and immediately set off a new wave of anti-Monaco climaxes online.
Although the players did not drink, it was too late when they came out and the expression on their faces was not very clear. The paparazzi swears to say that all Monaco players and coaches were drunk and looked like crazy.
Photos have been reprinted one after another and then published in freshly released newspapers and magazines. Monaco has been at the focus of media attention this summer, and now it has added new highlights.
The media criticized the Monaco Club for their exaggerated behavior. They were drunk and drunk before the season, without caring about the club's image at all. Under the leadership of the young coach, they entered the abyss little by little, and were simply thrown into the face of the traditional giant Monaco.
Monaco fans have a lot of doubts about Zhang Mu's involvement. Now that such a thing happens, they have no hope for the team's performance, and young people are just unreliable.
So many hardcore fans came to the team's training base with banners asking Zhang Mu to get out of the team during the team's training the next day, and surrounded the base. Unless the club gave the fans an explanation, they would never leave.
Zhang Mu is leading the team members to run and contact, which is the basis of their tactics in the new season and must be mastered as soon as possible.
He didn't know the behavior of the fans, but just when he was busy on the training ground, a staff member of the training base ran to the venue to find him because the club chairman Campola called the training base and asked Zhang Mu to answer the phone.
"Mr. Chairman, is there anything wrong?" Zhang Mu was very confused. Although there were many fans outside, they did not act excessively. Zhang Mu did not see the contents of the banners, and thought they were here to watch the team's training in the new season.
"Don't you know how big the protesting fans outside the training base have already had?" Campola asked exaggeratedly. He, the chairman of the club's office base, had received news. Does Zhang Mu, who is in the training base, still know what happened?
"I am training with the players, and I don't know what happened!" Zhang Mu said meaninglessly. How could he know that the fans are all here to protest him.
"Oh, let go of training first. Fans' problems must be handled first, but you have to be careful not to cause trouble." After that, Campola hung up the phone.
