Jove Thompson and several officials walked out and warmly greeted the people outside into the main hall.

The New Year's party is about to begin.

The main building of Cruise Durant Manor is a three-story "castle" with a history of more than a hundred years. The main hall of the "castle" is the living room. It is very large in area. It was used to receive foreign prime ministers, visit teams, hold royal meetings, etc. Fifty years ago, the reception was very grand this year. The audiences were from the Premier League, Championship coaches, some famous players, influential football celebrities, and other celebrities. The number of invited guests and stars exceeded 100. With so many people, they still feel very empty in the main hall.

Prince William, the host, and FA Chairman Jove Thompson stood in the middle, and the two announced the start of the cocktail party together.

Then there is a speech.

Some domestic conferences and events always lead to speeches, and all of them are useless. The same is true when they come to the UK. They come up with a speech. Chev Thompson stood up and reviewed the "ten-year history" of the New Year's reception. Then he talked about the football situation in recent years and the development of British football. Then he talked about the theme: Looking forward to the German World Cup this summer.

Jove Thompson is the FA president, and his vision for the World Cup is definitely related to England.

The theme of the New Year's reception is also the theme of England's team's World Cup. The guests present are all influential figures in the British football world. The FA hopes that they can discuss some topics that will be helpful to England's team's World Cup.

With this topic as the center, the protagonist of the cocktail party became England coach Erikson and England players.

After Jove Thompson delivered a speech, Eriksen was on stage. The Swedes talked about the achievements of England and looked forward to the World Cup. Then they talked about nonsense that England would work hard and strive to achieve good results in the World Cup.

This is not the first time Erikson has attended a cocktail party, but it is definitely the first time he has faced so many heavyweight guests. He is obviously nervous and excited when speaking on stage, and even said, "The goal of England is to win the World Cup."

This sentence makes many people disdain.

The audience is full of imaginative figures in British football, so they will not abide by any venue discipline and will not listen to Erikson talking nonsense, especially when he talks one after another, and it has not ended after three minutes. Many people in the audience started chatting with each other, completely ignoring what the Swedes said.

This is embarrassing.

Zhang Yang felt a little sympathetic to Erikson. When he stood in the audience and talked endlessly, there were not many people in the audience listening. They didn't even have basic respect, so they started to walk around and talk to familiar people. The most overwhelming thing was Ferguson. The old Scottish man didn't know what he heard, and even laughed loudly, causing Erikson to almost get stuck in his throat with a word.

This situation also made the speech unable to go on. Erikson realized that it was not good and finally ended his speech. Jove Thompson quickly smoothed out the scene and announced, "The New Year's party has officially begun, everyone can do whatever they want."

Most people still abide by the cocktail party system. For example, there is a topic every year, and they will discuss matters related to the topic. Even if they are not interested in it at all, they will say a few words casually.

They will also respect the ‘protagonist’.

For example, Erikson is the protagonist, and the English players are also the protagonists. The protagonist deserves to be popular. Erikson did not perform well just now, but after the cocktail party began, someone still greeted him wherever he went, and talked to him about the England team or the World Cup.

English players are also the protagonists.

English players are different from Eriksen. They will be the protagonists wherever they go, such as the active Joe Cole, the kind Beckham, the shy Gerrard, the popular Rooney, etc. They will be the protagonists. Whether they are coaches at all levels, or other guests or stars, they will take the initiative to say a few words to them. It is not bad to get to know each other, but they won’t discuss the World Cup.

Zhang Yang was still standing with Wenger. When Beckham came over, Wenger asked with a smile, "David, have you ever thought about going back to the Premier League?"

Beckham just smiled, he knew Wenger was joking.

Abramovich on the other side was chatting with Gerald. The topic they talked about was obviously related to the transfer. "Have you changed your attention? Chelsea's door is open to you at any time..."

Gerald can only say 'I haven't considered it for the time being'.

Wenger is a kind coach, and the few people around him are also "neutral". He does not participate in sensitive topics. The cocktail party asked to discuss the England World Cup. They also said a few words and talked to each player. When they saw Jove Thompson and Erikson coming over together, they would also say a few words to them.

Some people are different.

The most important thing to talk about is Ferguson and Mourinho. They disdained the theme of the cocktail party. Ferguson is a Scotsman, and if he wants to support it, he is a Scotsman. Mourinho is a Portuguese. Of course, he hopes that the Portuguese will achieve good results.

What does England have to do with them?

The two are not only okay, but they are also somewhat hostile. Both Mourinho and Ferguson have no favoritism towards Eriksen, but they only have bad feelings, because the Swedes always use their players to participate in international competitions, which also leads to physical fatigue and even injuries in their players.

Ferguson has expressed his dissatisfaction with Eriksen many times, and Mourinho has also twice, perhaps because Chelsea has many stars and doesn't care about Joe Cole, Terry, Lampard and other few who have been recruited into the team.

At the beginning of the party, Zhang Yang stayed with Wenger. After a while, he felt it was a little boring, so he took a plate and walked away, preparing to find some food he was interested in, but he was quickly entangled.

"Who are you……"

The woman in front of me looks very familiar and seems to have seen her somewhere, but Zhang Yang can't remember her name at all.

"I'm Rosie! You've forgotten me after not seeing you for a year!" The woman said with a grievance on her face, and took the initiative to pick up Zhang Yang's arms, rubbed the two giants over and over, showing an extremely intimate look.

Zhang Yang pulled the corners of his mouth and thought about it carefully before remembering the woman Rosie Pierce, whom he met at last year's cocktail party.

Nothing happened to both of them.

Maybe Rosie Pierce didn't mind, but Zhang Yang was still very caring at that time.

However, Zhang Yang did not stop Luo Xi from doing anything. He was always very proud of being held by a beautiful actress at such a cocktail party, and also proved his masculine charm. Especially the two huge posts are very comfortable, and the long-term busy work, and having a personal venting in the middle made him feel very moved.

Zhang Yang instantly left the cocktail party behind and began to have in-depth exchanges with Rosie.

Of course, it is limited to language communication.

When Rosie talks about her celebrity career, she will also be interested in asking about her head coaching job. Zhang Yang said less, but funny words can always make Rosie laugh.

Zhang Yang had to face it, and a group of old men looked at him with envy and jealousy.

That was the case last year's cocktail party.

Last year, the head coaches of the Premier League and Championships, a group of older men, who are almost forty years old, have become fireflies in the dark, and they attract women's attention wherever they go.

This is still the case now. Some players still have the opposite sex around them, and the head coaches are ignored, even Ferguson and Wenger. They are indeed very famous, but they really can't do much in age. In addition, a very important point is that they are all families, while Zhang Yang is still the same person. Many people know that he doesn't even have a formal girlfriend.

Luo Xi was the first to come to find Zhang Yang. Soon she had a competitor, and two second-tier actresses also came over and took the initiative to talk to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang was a little embarrassed.

Several actresses have some tit-for-tat meaning in their words and in other words. This is the first time he has discovered that he is so popular.

Zhang Yang didn't know his "charm".

England is a country of football. It is very easy for female celebrities to be famous. In addition, he is also a person with "very investment value". He can serve as the head coach of the Premier League in his early twenties. Not to mention what happens in the future, he is now a stolen figure in English football. If he can be related to Zhang Yang, he will be reported crazy by various media.

In the eyes of many actresses, Zhang Yang is the best boyfriend.

He is very famous.

He has a future.

He is also very handsome.

Although it is not as strong as an ordinary European man, his gentle and handsome face is enough to attract the attention of many opposite sexes.

These are all attractive enough.

If the most attractive man was selected on the spot, Zhang Yang would definitely be in the top three, including various stars. One of the major advantages of Zhang Yang is that he has "no formal girlfriend". For example, in the English team, there are very few unmarried stars, and a few unmarried stars have already had formal girlfriends.

In the eyes of the women in the venue, Zhang Yang had too many advantages. He was surrounded by several women with explosive figures and silently accepted the envious and jealous eyes of a group of old men and stars.

"I don't want to do it either!"

Facing Wenger's gaze that was "funny", Zhang Yang shrugged helplessly, and the meaning was almost the same, "There is no way to be too charming."

Zhang Yang not only made the old men envious, but even the English players were envious, especially a few married people. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, "It's great not to get married!"

As a family member, maybe... I can do something in private, but I dare not do it publicly. At such a cocktail party, I can only talk to women at most, and I don’t even dare to act intimately, otherwise a family farce will inevitably be heard.

Beckham is one of the people he envies. In the eyes of the outside world, Beckham has a perfect family, but as a man, the family is not as good as the outside. The beauties outside are always very tempting. Beckham is so envious of being surrounded by several beauties and being able to take advantage of all kinds of advantages.

Zhang Yang is actually a bit unfair. The truth is that he is being taken advantage of.

Several actresses kept coming over, as if they wanted to express their intimacy with him. He was a little distressed. At this moment, when he noticed Beckham, he felt that the savior was coming, "David! Can I call you that?"

Zhang Yang hurried over with a glass of wine, and finally temporarily shook off a group of chattering women, "Hello, you can call me Zhang."

"Zhang? It's very strange, but I know you, Millwall is very good this season."

"Thanks!"

Beckham also wants to know Zhang Yang, because Zhang Yang is a stellar figure in English football. He is a very famous "Weibo celebrity" and can also be said to be a star. He led the team Millwall also achieved amazing results, and he actually surpassed Manchester United to rank second in the league.

How did he do it?

Beckham has the same questions as many people. He is also very interested in the so-called "Milwall builds tactics for formations" reported by the British media. For the first time in the world football world, "builds tactics for formations". Generally, coaches can also make small adjustments to the tactics based on the newly added players, but they are absolutely impossible to create a set of tactics based on the lineup.

The two started chatting about this issue.

Zhang Yang was also not stingy with his thoughts, "I think tactics should serve the players, not the players adapt to tactics."

"Every player has different abilities and different expertise. If you can do the most suitable things in the most suitable position, you can play the most abilities. For example, if a defender player plays as a forward, even the world's top defender will find it difficult to perform."

"One position has different tactical meanings. Only by giving each position and tactical strategies suitable for players' abilities can the entire team perform better."

Seeing Beckham listening carefully and nodding frequently, Zhang Yang smiled indifferently, "Of course, maybe Millwall is too bad. We are just a small club with limited player abilities. If we don't do this, it will be difficult to compete with the big club."

"I believe this is a very profound tactical theory." Beckham gave affirmation instead, and he asked immediately, "Can you talk about England? This is the theme of the cocktail party."

"England's World Cup?"

"right."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "That's a very general topic. I'm not familiar with England. There is no one Millwall, a player who has entered England." He doesn't want to say anything about England. Like Ferguson, Mourinho and others, he is a Chinese. The England team has no relationship with him. If he says it well, there will be no reward. If he says it badly, he will offend people. He is unwilling to say more.

Beckham was very interested. He wanted to know Zhang Yang's comment on England, "Do you think England has a chance to win the championship?"

"Win the championship?" Zhang Yang hesitated and said comfortably, "Maybe..."

Jove Thompson came over with Erikson. The two happened to hear Beckham's question. It was no big deal, but Erikson suddenly said in a loud voice, "David, this young man is not optimistic about England. I remember that at the cocktail party last year, he said that England has no chance to compete for the championship!"
Chapter completed!
