Chapter 49 Wise's Jealousy(1/2)

Sunderland goalkeeper Ruit lay on the grass, turned his head and watched the football roll across the goal line.

Last moment he was delighted to escape.

The next moment was filled with despair.

Seeing the football roll into the goal, Ruitt turned his head and looked at Josh Simpson, and the first thought in his mind was, "When was this guy there?"

Many people, like Ruit, were surprised by Josh Simpson's timely insertion.

The opponent seemed to be waiting there. When he saw the football hitting the crossbar, he ran over and made up the ball and easily sent the ball into the goal.

This guy seemed to have known the ball would bounce toward that side!

It's too irritating!

After the first reaction, the Sunderland players didn't have time to pay attention to Josh Simpson. They didn't want to explore, but to face reality - at the last moment of the game, Sunderland was scored.

Millwall led the game for the first time!

This is also fatal to Sunderland, because there is no time left in the game, and Millwall can win the final victory with the goal.

The fans in the audience had already reacted.

They didn't care how Josh Simpson appeared, the key was that Millwall scored and the team led Sunderland, and the stadium was filled with cheers.

Fans danced excitedly!

Millwall's team was also excited, and the players on the field rushed towards Josh Simpson and surrounded him-

"Great! Josh! You scored!"

"You've just got on the court!"

"I thought I had no chance just now, but I didn't expect you to follow me!"

"2-1, you are the hero of winning!"

"I even suspect that Neil was deliberately unable to kick in and asked you to make a makeover!" This statement made Neil Harris nod and then said, "Yes, I knew Josh was there!"

Someone else said, "Josh, your perfect comeback performance, you scored in less than five minutes!"

Standing among many teammates, Josh Simpson felt joy all over his body and was filled with surprise.

He still remembers Zhang Yang's advice, "After you come on the court, you will stay on the far right side of the center line. If the team has the opportunity to counterattack, you will quickly run directly into the penalty area, don't make a sound, don't shout, just run, but be careful not to offside..." A few words are very simple, just let him pay attention to Mirwall's counterattack on the court. When there is a counterattack, run forward and go to the right side of the penalty area to look for opportunities.

Simpson didn't understand and didn't want to accept it, but under the threat of "If you can't do it, just go to someone else', he chose to surrender.

Now he is extremely grateful for his decision, otherwise the goal would be someone else's!

Simpson couldn't help looking at the coach's seat.

The young Chinese really seemed to have magic on his body, as if he had expected everything.

Against the backdrop of the crazy cheers of the home team fans, Gligery was sitting in front of a VIP private room window on the east side of the audience, with a faint smile on his face and his smart eyes as if he could always see through everything.

But if you look closely, you will find that Gligory's expression contains a lot of doubts.

He turned to look at Ebenezer, "What do you think, this ball?"

"That's a good substitution."

"What I think is strange is Josh's running, he seemed to be waiting there just now." Gligory said thinking, "Will that be Zhang Yang's arrangement?"

"Maybe."

Ebenezer shook his chin and thought, "He has always been very lucky, like in the first half, he said our goal was dangerous. I must admit that he guessed that the game was really good. If Denise had listened to him, maybe we would have won."

Gligory shook his head and said, "Anyway, we are ahead now. It doesn't matter when we win, what's important is that we win. This is really surprising. I thought there was no chance."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Josh Simpson played for five minutes and helped the team overtake the score, which undoubtedly proved the correctness of the substitution.

The reporters in the media table had to admit that the substitution just now was very good, but they attributed it to 'luck', otherwise it would be impossible to explain. "The young Chinese had really good luck. This was his first time in commanding the game. Although it was only temporary, he led Mirwall to turn the defeat into victory."

"He let Josh Simpson play and the latter scored, which is a bit amazing!"

"Good luck, nothing can be done!"

"There is no way, novices always have luck, but this is only this game. He is just directing the game temporarily."

Finally, a reporter said with some jealousy, "But we must admit that the Chinese man's popularity was successful. He will gain a large number of Millwall fans by scoring two goals in the second half!"

Of course, the reporters will be a little jealous.

From a professional perspective, journalists, celebrities and "Internet celebrities" are all similar. If you want to develop upward, you must have a certain popularity foundation. The more people you support, the better your development will be.

If you rely on pure coaching skills, it would be nothing to lead Millwall to victory.

That's the job of a professional coach.

Zhang Yang?

Media reporters prefer to position him as a ‘Weibo celebrity’ rather than a Millwall assistant coach.

After Millwall's celebration, the referee urged the game to start again.

Three minutes have passed in stoppage time.

After Sunderland sent the ball, the player drove forward with a big foot, but was still kicked out of bounds by Millwall defender, and the referee also took the opportunity to blew the whistle to the end of the game.

“Beep…”

With a long whistle, the game was over and Millwall defeated Sandra and scored a valuable three-pointer in the Champions League.

The fans all cheered.

The players on the court began to leave one after another. Every Millwall player had a smile on his face, and they would wave and hug each other when they met, and everyone was happy for victory.

This victory is incredibly precious to them.

Sunderland is the number one team in the league, and Millwall only struggles in the relegation zone. When Sunderland meets a winning streak in the league, most players are not optimistic about the game, even at home.

But in the end they won.

Victory brings not only three points, but also strong fighting spirit and confidence. Looking at the whole season, the latter may be more important.

When the players walked into the mixing area until they returned to the locker room, many people began to surround Zhang Yang.

During the whole game, they had a very deep impression of Zhang Yang.

In the first half, Zhang Yang's advice to Denise was not clear, but in the second half, Millwall's two goals were all about Zhang Yang.

The first goal was scored, Zhang Yang made a victory gesture half a minute in advance, which attracted the attention of the audience.

With the second goal, Zhang Yang arranged for Josh Simpson to play.

So everyone was asking-

"How do you know we're going to score?"

"It's so right for you to replace Josh! He actually completed the supplemental shot!"

"Your hands raised is very interesting!"

“…”

Zhang Yang is a "match instructor" and is also a nominal assistant coach, but there is no generation gap between the players and him, mainly because of age. The feeling in my heart is completely a friend I just met.

Zhang Yang laughed.

He answered everyone's questions one by one, and the answer was very mysterious, "Of course, I know a kind of magic!"

"Switch to Josh? I think he will score! Perhaps more importantly, I'm very much talking to him!"

"That raise your hand? That's a celebration move. I celebrated the goal in advance!"

"I want to bring confidence to everyone!"

Many people rolled their eyes when they heard this, but everyone still revolved around Zhang Yang. The game just passed made him a celebrity in the locker room.

———

Denise Wise is a special one.

Millwall's team knew that Wise was like a player more than a coach, and he was like this on the court and still the same off the court, but now he was posing as a head coach and did not make a fuss with others.

Looking at Zhang Yang, surrounded by many teammates, he couldn't help feeling jealous.

Yes, jealous.

Since serving as interim coach for Millwall, Wise has been hoping to gain recognition in coaching one day.

Not the ball skills.

He knew very well that he had prestige in the team. More importantly, he was once a big star with rich game experience. Even though he was nearly 40 years old, he was still able to perform well.

But this is not what he wants, because he is about to retire!

What if a player who is about to retire can perform well? What's more, this is just a top league in the Champions League, and he doesn't even care about the Champions League games.
