Chapter 134: I will pay it back sooner or later

When it comes to Forrest Stadium, perhaps every fan of Leiden Oriental will feel sad. Walthamsto United is just a semi-amateur team in the seventh level league, but they can use the Forrest Stadium owned by the Walthamsto district government almost for free every year. It is a stadium with a capacity of 20,000 people. Although Leiden Oriental is the only professional team in the Walthamsto area, it can still only use the Brisbane Road Stadium, which is half smaller than Forrest Stadium.

But then again, the ownership of Brisbane Road Stadium belongs to Leiden Oriental Club after all, and Forrest Stadium belongs to the district council. No matter how small Brisbane Road is, it is still his own thing.

In addition to the Walthamsto District Council's reluctance to see the only professional team in the region faces a dilemma of not having a home court next season, Schindler's hard work in the past few days is also a very critical factor. Any government agency will have the disadvantage of slow work efficiency. Schindler handled the loan of Forrest Stadium in just a few days, which also made Xiao Ming confident that he would make up his mind to completely renovate the Brisbane Road Stadium.

If you think about it carefully, the failure of this season may be a good thing. First, let Xiao Ming realize the cruelty of professional football more clearly, forcing him to learn more about the theoretical knowledge that a coach should learn; secondly, failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that he will not recover after failure, but it is obvious that Xiao Ming will not be such a person; thirdly, losing the qualification to advance to the Premier League in this situation will not only not make the team lose confidence, but will instead make them dissatisfied with the failure of this season and have more confidence to play the next game.

"The construction of the stadium will be left to you and Coft to jointly take charge of it."

After walking out of the office building, Xiao Ming took a deep breath and said to Schindler who was following behind him.

"Don't worry, boss, we will do this." Schindler nodded and said calmly.

Xiao Ming was quite at ease with Schindler. This young German had a maturity and calmness that was inconsistent with his age. Coupled with a careful calculation, Xiao Ming believed that there would be no problems in this stadium expansion.

"Okay, now I'm going to go to the coaching training class." Xiao Ming stretched: "First of all, you can only get a C-level certificate. To get a B-level certificate, you have to wait a year before taking the exam. To get a A-level certificate, you have to wait a year before you can take the exam... It's so troublesome, no wonder the English people are unwilling to take such exams... Schindler, you are a major in sports. How many people in Germany have A-level and B-level certificates?"

"It seems that there are about 50,000 people." Schindler said proudly: "Don't forget that our Cologne Sports Academy is world-famous."

"Fifty thousand people?" Xiao Ming was surprised. Thinking about the fact that there were only about one thousand people in England. No wonder the English national team could only hire foreign coaches in the future. A local McLaren came in the middle and made the national team mess.

This is really a strange country. It has the best league in the world in the future. The club is willing to spend a lot of money on the stars but is unwilling to hire a regular doctor. The head coach in the team is not qualified to be a coach at all. Think about Gulit, Viali and Pierce. They were not qualified to be a coach when they were head coaches at Chelsea and Manchester City. Gulit, who made some achievements in the Premier League, was not qualified to coach even the youth team after returning to the Netherlands. After Viali returned to Italy, he could only learn how to be a coach from scratch. However, such practices are common in England. The club pursues the best players, but they don’t care whether the coach is qualified to take up the job.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming smiled. If it weren't for this, how could he have the opportunity to be the head coach? Now it doesn't matter whether he makes money or not. If he holds Yahoo's stock in his hand for a year, he will have hundreds of millions of cash, so he won't worry about anything. In this case, he is more willing to be the head coach and fight against the famous coaches in his previous life, rather than being an idle boss.

Anyway, I will not be able to be fired. I will regard the occasional failure as accumulating experience. At least under his leadership, Leiden Oriental will not continue to hang out in the low-level league like in history. Participating in the League One is their greatest pursuit.

Before Xiao Ming was about to attend coaching training, England and European football had come to an end. Crystal Palace defeated Wolves in the play-off final and became the third lucky person to advance to the Premier League. Xiao Ming just sneered. He remembered that Crystal Palace had only been in the Premier League for one season, and the three teams that advanced this season could get as they go up, and it was just a addiction to going to the Premier League for the previous year.

In the Premier League this season, Manchester United won the league championship again, which is the fourth league championship they have won in five seasons since the establishment of the Premier League. Solskjaer shines after going to the Premier League. This season he scored 18 league goals in the Premier League. This young man with a baby face quickly became a favorite among Manchester United fans. Another former Leiden Oriental player, Pobosky, did not perform well. He was completely at a disadvantage in the competition with Beckham. Although his 22 appearances and three goals were still acceptable, it was not very consistent with the high expectations placed by Manchester United fans when he joined.

Xiao Ming just sighed at this. Pobosky's biggest problem was not ability, but because he was not adapted to English football. Although he performed well in the season of the League Two, the difference between the League Two and the Premier League was too big after all. If he could stay in Leiden East for a year and adapt to the League One for a year, he might have performed differently, but everything has happened.

Manchester United won the championship, and the points from two to four were exactly the same. In the end, Newcastle relied on the advantage of goal difference to beat Arsenal and Liverpool and became another Premier League team participating in the Champions League. It is worth mentioning that Wenger, who took office in October, made initial results in the transformation of Arsenal. He made Arsenal's offensive focus more on the ground rather than in the air. Arsenal began to make great strides towards the team that mainly attacked the gorgeous ground.

Another news in the Premier League this season is the relegation of Nottingham Forest. This team that once blew a red whirlwind in England and Europe is increasingly showing that it is not suitable for commercial football. Although they had won third place in the Premier League two seasons ago, it was just a flash in the pan.

Middlesbrough was relegated miserably in the Premier League. If they had not been deducted for financial reasons, they would have probably not been relegated. You should know that they reached the finals in the FA Cup and the League Cup! What's even more miserable is that they lost the finals in both of these two cup matches...

A somewhat similar experience to Middlesbrough is Leiden Oriental. They were not deducted points, but they were also unable to advance to the Premier League due to too much energy involved in the Cup. Next season, these two teams who are incompatible with each other will work together in the League One.

As for the more distant European arena, Dortmund defeated defending champion Juventus with Riddle's double scoring and the talented young man Ricken's long-distance lob shot, winning the European Champions League trophy. Another German team also defeated the Italian team in the League Cup final and won the championship. After the total score in two rounds was tied, Lehmann's outstanding performance in the penalty shootout, Schalke Zero Four defeated Inter Milan and won the League Cup. The winner of this season's Cup of Winners belongs to the La Liga giants Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona fans probably won't know that they will have to wait until nine years before they can win another championship in the European arena again.

However, all this has nothing to do with Xiao Ming. What Xiao Ming is eager for now is to start next season and advance in the League One, proving that Leiden Oriental is not a team that the League One can accommodate!

When I thought about this, Xiao Ming felt that he understood how Brother Ma was feeling when he said the classic line: "I want to fight for a breath, not to prove that I am amazing, I just want to tell others that I must take back what I have lost!"

Xiao Ming is thinking so now. This season he lost the opportunity to advance to the Premier League, the FA Cup championship, and the League Cup championship. But in the future, he will definitely take back all the things he lost bit by bit!

Although these things did not belong to him, he could still fight for them.

Xiao Ming studied very smoothly in the coaching training class. There was nothing to learn like this. If you want to get a C-level coaching certificate, you only need to study for more than 60 hours and get a few more times. However, the C-level coaching certificate can only coach amateur teams, and the B-level coaching certificate can only coach the second team or youth team of a professional club. Only by getting a A-level can you coach the first team and national team of a professional club - the premise is that someone is willing to invite you.

In fact, to talk about coaching level, Italy has the highest theoretical and tactical level in Europe. Before coaching Valencia, Benitez had studied in Italy for a year or two. Most of his ability to command on the spot was learned from Italy, and England was quite lacking in this regard. Their top coaches all came from Scotland, and later the Premier League was filled with a large number of foreign coaches. Later, the English national team did not have a suitable coach candidate, so they could only hire foreign coaches.

After half a month of study, Xiao Ming successfully obtained the C-level coaching certificate. The exam was so simple that Xiao Ming was unbelievable. But thinking about it, there are so many amateur teams in England, and many coaches are coaching teams part-time. If the threshold is too high, maybe these amateur teams will rarely find a coach.

After finishing the coaching training, Xiao Ming began to prepare for the transfer movement before the start of next season. Alexander did not show his characteristics last season. The right he guarded often became the focus of opponents' attacks, but his good offense has not been played out, which forced Xiao Ming to often let Daniel return to the right-back position, and let Upson and Johnson take turns to serve as left-back. Such changes also seriously affected the team's performance.

Alexander himself doesn't want to stay in London anymore. He is the only Scotsman in the entire team, and the atmosphere in the League One made him very uncomfortable. At this time, Preston, who had just been promoted to the League Two, wanted to find a right back. Alexander, who performed well in the League Two last season, became the player they valued.

After a season of test, Xiao Ming also found that Alexander might find it difficult to adapt to the team, so after a bit of bargaining, he let Alexander go for 300,000 pounds, the same as his value when he came to Leiden East. Leiden East did not lose this deal. After all, Alexander's performance last season could only be said to be average.

The substitute forward Carter Griffith, the 26-year-old forward has only played twenty times in three seasons, and his ability really cannot meet the needs of the team. After discussion, Leiden East terminated his contract with him and he can freely find his next home.

After letting these two people go, Xiao Ming didn't plan to let go. After all, there are only twenty-four people in the first team now, and after letting two, there are only twenty-two people left. Obviously, such a lineup is not enough to deal with the third-line battle, especially on the forward line and back line. Now there are only Daniel left in the right back in Leiden East, and only Upson and McCassy can play in the left back. There are only four people left in the forward team. Huck is more likely to appear in the right forward position. If you don't add people, you may have a dilemma of insufficient staff in the second half of last season.

But things in the world never move in the direction people expect.

Just when Xiao Ming was about to set off to complete a major event he had been preparing for for a long time, Hilton urgently notified him about something.

"What? Coventry wants to buy Bollinger and Hackby?" Xiao Ming looked at Hilton in surprise.

Hilton nodded, saying that he was not kidding.

"What are you doing? A team that relegates every year wants to poach me? What a joke?" Xiao Ming laughed: "Coventry used to be a strong team, but see what they have become after the establishment of the Premier League! Spend money every year and relegate every year. Atkinson spent 50 million in the transfer market last season, but he still had to relegate! If Spurs lost to them in the last round, they would have come to the League One to be our company now! I can't do anything about Manchester United's dig for me. Coventry still wants to poach me? My mind is flooded."

"Brain...water is influx? What does this mean?" Hilton found it very puzzled by Xiao Ming's last sentence.

"It's just that there's no brain matter in your head, it's all boiled water, can you still think?" Xiao Ming smiled: "Don't look at them as the Premier League team, we are the League One team, but in a year or two, it's our turn to be the Premier League team. They are going to play as the League One! Bollinger and Hackby are smart players and will not make such a stupid choice."

Xiao Ming smiled happily. In his opinion, Leiden East is the newborn sun. Although it is not dazzling enough, its future is boundless. What about Coventry? Although they are Premier League teams, they will continue to relegate in the future. Then the club's finances will become more and more difficult. It will be more difficult until the relegation is relegated. After the relegation, the finances will be even more difficult and the performance will be worse. As before, they are relegated every year, but they used to relegate in the Premier League, but now they are relegated in the Championship...

Such a team is just a sunset that is setting sun. Although there is still a trace of light and heat, and there is still a little beauty, it will not exist for too long.

While he was laughing, Hilton did not laugh, but looked at Xiao Ming with a hint of helplessness. Xiao Ming quickly felt something was wrong. He stopped laughing and looked at Hilton: "What? Did Bryn and Huckby apply for transfer?"

Hilton nodded heavily: "If this weren't the case, I wouldn't report it to you... The two of them are in the roster of players who the team is unwilling to let go. We can refuse Coventry's offer, but we cannot ignore the transfer applications they both made."

"Damn it! How could this happen!" Xiao Ming's cynical expression disappeared without a trace. Both Bryn and Hackby were among the first players Xiao Ming bought after he took over Leiden East. That season, Xiao Ming bought five people. Now, except for Holland that cannot guarantee the main position, the other four are the absolute main players of the team, and their salary is also top in the team. Xiao Ming did not expect to sell them this season, but now the two of them have applied for transfer!

It would be fine if a big club like Manchester United came to poach people. Xiao Ming knew that Leiden East could not refuse the poaching of these big clubs now, but Coventry... Hell! The team that is in a waning team is poaching me, a newcomer? Isn't that too unreasonable?

What Xiao Ming forgot about is that no matter how Coventry relegated every year, they are also one of the famous teams in England and a part of the Premier League team. Leiden Oriental has a weak foundation after all. Most of the players in this team are probably not affectionate with Leiden Oriental, but are attracted by Xiao Ming's personal charm and chose to stay in the club. After all, most of the members of Leiden Oriental's first team are deceived by Xiao Ming using various means. He can poach other teams, so why can't other teams come to poach him?

I'll have to pay it back sooner or later...

"No, I have to talk to them. No matter what, they are very important to us, and don't forget that their contracts are still three years away!"
