At the press conference, Zhang Yang said in a low-key manner that the draw was an acceptable result, and repeatedly talked about the goal of relegation and also looked forward to the team's future performance.

But after returning to the locker room, Zhang Yang changed his attitude.

draw?

Is it acceptable?

In terms of rational judgment, a draw is acceptable. After all, the team is only a half-substitute lineup, with a score of only six stars and four points, which is nearly one star away from the main lineup. However, it has always been a victory, and the draw is still very unhappy.

Zhang Yang was in a bad mood. He knew that he should not blame the players. The team performed well, but when it was time to be serious, he still had to put on a serious attitude. If the draw was given a smile on the team, many people would think that 'our goal might be really relegation'.

This is a very dangerous idea.

If most players have the illusion that the goal is relegation, they will not care about the draw, or even about the loss, because as long as Millwall's score continues to play normally, relegation is very easy.

When the team doesn't care about the outcome, they will also be lazy in their attitude towards the game. When the game is over, their mentality will affect their performance, and there will definitely be more points lost in the future, which is intolerable.

Zhang Yang put on a serious attitude.

When they returned to the locker room, all the players noticed Zhang Yang's face, and the relaxed atmosphere in the locker room disappeared.

Zhang Yang glanced at everyone, the player stared at by his eyes subconsciously handed his head. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Some of you may think that it's no big deal to tie. We are still ranked second in the league, but our position is no longer stable."

"We were second in the league before, two points less than Chelsea and two more than Manchester United, but now we are four points behind Chelsea and the same points as Manchester United. If we still have this mentality, our ranking will continue to decline in the future!"

"Maybe some people still don't care, there is no pressure to relegate anyway. But now I remind you that my goal is not just to relegate!"

"Yes, it's my goal!"

"I don't know what you think. Maybe everyone has different ideas, but before the game started, I set a goal and relegation? Haha. If I were just relegation, I wouldn't have been so strict."

"So from the first round of the league, the whole team is working hard for me to set good goals!"

"Maybe some people will be angry and think 'that's just your goal, it has nothing to do with us', then you are wrong! I am the head coach. Do you know what a head coach is?" Zhang Yang asked, and he was not ready to ask someone to answer, but continued, "In the field of football, the head coach is a position, the leader and tactical planner of a team, but he also has different understandings. For example, in England, the head coach is also called a boss, manager, etc.."

"In China, the head coach can also be the head coach, and the supreme commander of the army represented by the head coach must obey the head coach's commander, and the entire army serves the head coach's will."

"Do you understand?"

Zhang Yang's voice was strong and powerful, "I am the team's coach, and my will is the team's will, so the goal I set is the team's goal! I don't care what some people have or what other different opinions, but you are just players and I am the head coach, so you must listen to me. If anyone has objections to the goals I set, of course, you can choose not to play. In my team, only those who work hard for the goals I set are indispensable!"

“…”

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he told Wise to ask the whole team to quickly pack up and prepare to leave by bus.

Many players were a little stunned while busy.

Zhang Yang seemed to have said a lot, but to sum it up, there was only one sentence, "I am the boss, I have the final say in the team. I set the goal, and you must work hard for my goal!"

Everything is that simple!

This is so domineering!

Those aspiring players find it very encouraging. They have always believed that the team's goal is not just to relegation.

In an interview with the public, Zhang Yang emphasized more than once that Millwall's goal is to relegate, so you can understand Zhang Yang's old team members and know that he will not "set very low goals."

In January after Christmas last season, when Millwall only rose to seventh in the league, Zhang Yang publicly stated that the team's goal was to upgrade, and the inspiring words at that time were still kept in mind in the hearts of many people.

Now it's changed to the Premier League, and the team ranks second in the league, so the goal is to relegation?

impossible.

The goals of a team may change with the upgrade, but a person's personality will not change.

Zhang Yang’s goal is definitely not to relegation.

When Zhang Yang really said that 'the goal is not just to relegate', many people breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've said a long time ago that the boss's goal cannot be relegation!"

"He is just fooling those reporters!"

"The boss likes to fool reporters the most. I still remember last season, one time I attended a press conference with my boss. The boss's performance made me stunned." Curtis Weston said as he stopped talking, bought a close call and attracted a lot of attention, and then continued with satisfaction. "At that time, reporters took turns to ask questions, they were all trying to make things difficult for the boss. You may know that some London reporters and bosses are mortal enemies. They keep publishing negative news, and they are criticized. When they go to the press conference, they will also raise such difficult questions, but the boss smiled and responded calmly, making them not know that it was time to refute!"

This interesting thing immediately attracted a lot of attention, especially new players who don’t know Zhang Yang, such as Darren Bent and Concheski, came over to listen to the specific content.

Supported by great vanity, Curtis Weston went to the details of the gossip.

Weston didn't know how long it took to say it. When he saw a few stunned teammates in front of him, his vanity was fully satisfied. He heard a roar in his ears, "Curtis, what are you doing! Get things done quickly, you will be missing from the whole team!"

Weston suddenly withered.

As the group of people burst into laughter, he hurried to pack his luggage.

———

The next week is international competition day, and players who enter various national teams will be going to participate in international competitions.

Most of the Millwall teams are English players. If any player can enter the England team, Zhang Yang will definitely be happy, but unfortunately there is not a single one yet.

But there are still 'national players'.

Heathlop is a veteran of Trinidad and Tobago, and he will definitely represent Trinidad and Tobago in the World Cup.

Last week, Marvin Elliott was also recruited into the Jamaica national team. In this regard, the Jamaica Football Association is still very efficient. When Elliott performed, it was immediately noticed by the national team. The good news is that Heathlop is just a goalkeeper, and Trinidad and Tobago did not allow him to participate in unnecessary training camps considering the distance. Elliott was the only one who worked hard on international matches.

The other players are resting.

Zhang Yang gave everyone two days off, and he also wanted to take a break while the international competition day of this month ended, and the events would become very intensive, and even before Christmas, it would be difficult to have another two-day holiday.

In the end, Zhang Yang was unable to rest.

The club staff reminded him that the house had been found and asked him to take time to check it out tomorrow.

The next morning, Zhang Yang followed the staff to see the house. The house was located on the east side of the Millwall area, about six kilometers away from Millwall Club.

This distance is not far, nor is it close.

After arriving at the destination, Zhang Yang found that the surrounding environment was pretty good.

This is the south of the Millwall area. Chadwright Avenue is at the corner of the block. Holitian Park is 500 meters north of Chadwright Avenue, and only one kilometer from Lewisham Shopping Center.

Life, transportation and scenery are all very good.

"It shouldn't be cheap here, right?" Zhang Yang asked in confusion. The Millwall area is only on the edge of central London. Although it is located in the suburbs of London, a three-story villa with gardens costs at least 500,000 pounds to make the foundation, which is not something that can be consumed at present.

The staff said, "The house is at the end of the road, close to the cemetery, and the owner has not sold it for two months."

After hearing this, Zhang Yang became cold all over.

The staff quickly explained, "I have seen it. The distance is not very close, about 100 meters, and there is a road. The cemetery has a wall, but not many people are willing to live in a house so close to the cemetery."

The two quickly arrived at their destination.

It was a three-story villa with white and blue exterior, with a small garden and miniature swimming pool. When I walked in, I noticed that there was a low bungalow, "that was the storage room and the garage."

When I opened the door, I saw that the interior had been renovated and I had purchased basic furniture, but the completely brand new inner room made Zhang Yang ask, "No one has lived here before?"

"There were people living in the past, but the owner had renovated it, but it seemed that he had never lived in it."

Zhang Yang asked again, "How much is the price?"

"I have talked to the agency. The lowest price is 359,000 pounds, and the homeowner requires full payment."

"Why is it so cheap?"

"So the homeowner asked for full payment. I heard that the homeowner seemed to be a real estate businessman. He was eager to recover the capital turnover and decided to sell the house. It was indeed very cheap. If he was fifty meters inside, he would have to spend 100,000 pounds more."

The staff are talking about the location.

This house is close to a small road. There are not many pedestrians on the small road, but it is still noisy compared to the next door. There may be cars passing by at night. In addition, the approach to the highway also means that the cemetery is close to it. Londoners are very taboo to live near the cemetery, so the house prices are so much cheaper.

Zhang Yang read it inside and outside, then walked around outside, and was quite satisfied with the house.

It is larger than John's house and has a much more luxurious decoration. It costs less than 360,000 pounds, which is definitely very worthwhile.

If Zhang Yang is satisfied with the house, he can have a formal talk.

Half an hour later, the people from the intermediary company came and the two parties began to negotiate on the price issue. Finally, the intermediary company and staff jointly gave a purchase plan that suited the situation: a total price of 340,000 pounds, a down payment of 40,000 pounds, and a loan of 300,000 pounds from the bank.

It is too easy to get a loan of 300,000 pounds.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yang went to handle the matter with the intermediary staff. He also found Ebenezer and borrowed the name of Millwall Club to allow the bank to complete the approval efficiently.

Zhang Yang chose a one-year period for quick repayment, and the Millwall Club will be responsible for monthly payments, and the corresponding amount will be deducted from the salary.
Chapter completed!
