Gary Lyinkel?

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment before he realized who the other party was.

When he was working in the BBC Sports Foreign Media Department, he also served as a guest on the broadcasting group's "Voice of the Premier League". Later, Leinker appreciated his ability to analyze the game and planned to drop him to work at the BBC headquarters.

At that time, Reinkell said that "if you have the opportunity to cooperate in hosting programs in the future", it is equivalent to inviting Zhang Yang in advance to host his football commentary column together.

Zhang Yang did not choose to go to the BBC headquarters, but agreed to Gligory's invitation to come to Millwall to work as a "match instructor".

Since then, the two have no intersection.

Zhang Yang didn't expect that Leinkell would call him on his own initiative, and he replied politely, "Thank you, I was just lucky to become the interim head coach."

"This is not something that luck can explain!" Leinker's voice was still full of surprise. "I remember that when I retired, I also considered being a football coach. That was the way out for many professional players, but in the end I followed Jeff's advice and came to work in the BBC. Although I did not become a football coach, I also know how difficult it is to work as a coach. Not to mention a young man without professional player experience, even if I want to be a coach, I have to start from the bottom. Maybe I can't coach a professional team until now. And I heard that your head coach did a good job and led the team to win the game yesterday. Millwall's points were equal to Wolves. I can't believe it! In the first half of the schedule, I always thought Millwall would be relegated!"

Leinker said a lot in one breath. Zhang Yang nodded when he heard this, and he simply replied, "Mr. Reinker, call me, maybe it's not to praise me, right?"

"Of course... not."

Ringkele laughed and said seriously, "I want to invite you to be the guest who will comment on the Champions League next week. I don't know if you have time."

"The Champions League game should be evening, right?"

“It’s night.”

"I need to see the time. I've been too busy recently and the schedule is a bit intensive." Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment."

Leinker said directly, "I've seen it. It was the second day of the next round of the English Championship. There was a week between the two leagues. Millwall should have a holiday, right?"

“It should be on holiday.”

"That's good, what about your reply? You know, I have to determine the guest candidate as soon as possible, because the show also wants to talk to you about remuneration and so on. I don't like those things, but it also has to be done, and no one can work for free."

Hearing Leinker's blunt statement, Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment and agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll have a rest that day anyway. I'll go to the BBC if I have time and call me when I'll contact you."

"By the way, do you have an agent?"

Leinker reminded, "If you have an agent, you don't have to spend time, and the agent can handle everything."

Zhang Yang responded vaguely, "I will consider it."

After putting down the phone, Zhang Yang continued to lie on the bed, while continuing to sleep in the morning, while thinking about what happened just now.

Lyinkel invites him as a guest of the show?

If it were before Christmas, he might be very happy. Perhaps he was influenced by Denise's enthusiasm for work, and he also felt that being on TV shows, especially on major TV stations, was an excellent job improvement.

But now the situation doesn't make sense.

He served as the head coach of Millwall, and there are media interviews and reports almost every day that he just thinks it is like a big media interviewing when he goes to the BBC football channel column.

Actually, nothing is amazing.

Reinkell's invitation was a bit surprised. He had refused to work at the BBC headquarters before, and the two of them had no intersection. Unexpectedly, the other party would invite him.

Agents are also a problem.

Looking for Andy?

Perhaps this is the only way. He doesn't want to sign an agent contract with an inexplicable person and then hand over the future to the other party.

Andy is a little amateur, but dealing with small contracts is enough.

———

Because he was in his office and was in a hurry to get up and go to work, Zhang Yang rarely got out of bed. After washing and dressing, he went to the club cafeteria to find something to eat. After eating a little, he jogged for two laps in the first team stadium.

When everything is finished, two hours have passed.

At this time, Zhang Yang remembered to call Andy. He hesitated for a moment and called directly. The phone booster sound was connected after only a sound.

"Andy?"

"Zhang? I was about to call you, but you called me. What a coincidence!"

Zhang Yang was a little confused, "Is there anything wrong?"

"It's Denise. Denise something happened! It's really annoying! I was working hard, but today's task is really heavy, because Spol gave me all Denise's work!" After Andy shouted, he began to nag about the heavy work.

Zhang Yang was confused when he heard this, "What's wrong with Denise?"

"She quits!"

Zhang Yang was stunned for a while, "Are you wrong? Denise? Will she quit? Are you sure that Denise is talking about?"

"That's how it's the matter. She resigned, otherwise why would I work so hard! Spoel said it would be better to get Denise back in the past few days, but it was useless for me to persuade her. She seemed to have decided not to do it."

Andy complained for a long time before explaining, "Her program is gone, it's the food program. No, it should be said that she was replaced. She did a good job, but with a second-tier female star taking over her job, she decided to quit. Zhang, you should help persuade her, I think she was hit hard."

Zhang Yang took a deep breath, and when he thought that Denise was replaced again, he suddenly felt a little funny, but as a friend, please sympathize, "Okay, I understand, why don't you go see her together this afternoon?"

"Okay, that's all, I'll hang up first. The work task is too heavy today." Andy was about to hang up the phone, but he remembered that Zhang Yang took the initiative to call him. He immediately asked, "By the way, you call me, what's the matter?"

"Let's talk about it when we meet!"

"good."

After the two decided, Zhang Yang had another thing, which was to comfort Denise who was "lost".

For the rest of the morning, Zhang Yang patiently studied his next opponent, Brighton.

This is a team with great ups and downs.

In the 1980s, Brighton was still a top league team in England. They had long occupied the top league place, but after entering the 1990s, their finances became extremely unstable and continued to perform poorly. They even dropped into the fourth-tier league in 1997. Even the home court, Golden Stone Stadium was forced to sell. In the next two seasons, Brighton had to play football at Priestfield Stadium 120 kilometers away. It was not until three years later, after making huge concessions to local residents, Brighton finally obtained the lease of the Wesdan Sports Stadium.

From then on, Brighton rose again.

In the 2000-2001 season, Brighton successfully won the fourth-level league and advanced to the third-level league. After that, former Leicester City coach Peter Taylor took over as head coach, Brighton won the third-level league championship in the second year and advanced to the second-level league.

Brighton's fall and rise are a bit shocking, but in the second-level league, it is not easy to improve. They have to use several seasons to adapt, and it will take a long way to go to complete the upgrade.

Brighton is currently ranked 17th in the league, which is even better than Cardiff City, but you can't relax if you want to complete relegation.

In fact, such an opponent is not easy to deal with, but it is still a headache.

Each league has a rule: in the final stage of the league, the opponents who relegate are no better than those who upgrade, because teams with pressure to relegate will work hard and they have no choice. For a professional team, relegation is equivalent to entering the abyss and suffering extremely huge losses.

The team loses, and the players lose.

Whenever this comes, unless it is definitely downgraded, everyone will work hard.

So Millwall must deal with it with 100% energy.

Millwall reassembled for training in the afternoon.

Since I went to Cardiff the day before, many players still looked tired. Zhang Yang did not arrange tactical training in particular, but just asked Alders and Frederick to take everyone to do some simple warm-up activities to help the players adjust their physical condition better.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, when all the players left, Zhang Yang went to the club gate, and he soon waited for Andy.

Andy drove to pick him up.

The two then joined Frank Cruphelis Avenue, and stopped two blocks in front of a commercial residential building.

Denise lives in the commercial residential building.

Downstairs is a large five-story shopping mall, with hotels, restaurants and various shops nearby. The business atmosphere is very strong. Zhang Yang glanced at the surrounding environment, "It's not bad here, it's very convenient to do anything."

"But it's not suitable for living," Andy added.

“That’s right.”

The location of the commercial residential building is very good, but it is too noisy nearby. There will be dirty and messy places where crowds gather, which is indeed not suitable for long-term living.

Denise lives on the twenty-third floor.

Andy was also here for the first time. He only knew the specific address. The two searched for a long time before finding the elevator in the corner next to a shop. There were many people in front of the elevator. They had to go to each floor respectively. The elevator stopped more than a dozen times before they reached the twenty-third floor.

Zhang Yang paid attention to the time.

It has been fifteen minutes since the two found the elevator.

"It's really not easy." Zhang Yang sighed, "For the first time I discovered that the place I live in is so good, at least I don't have to wait for time when I go home."

"yes."

Andy sighed a little.

The two of them came to a door as they said. Andy got the door number right and knocked on the door. The sound insulation effect of the door was very poor. There was a sound of TV inside, mixed with busy sounds. After a while, the door was opened.
Chapter completed!
