"...Are you old?"

When he heard Zhang Yang's first words, Luca Tony almost slapped the table and left, but his sober reason told him that the other party could not have traveled to Milan from London to play with him.

Luca Tony suppressed his anger and continued the topic, "I need a reasonable explanation."

Zhang Yang still kept smiling, as if saying something ordinary, "You may feel uncomfortable to say so, but that's the truth, Luca, you're already thirty years old, right?"

"At thirty, is it very big?" Luca Tony said seriously. "I can play for several more years!"

"Of course, I admit it. But if you join Bayern, how long can you stay in shape, or, in other words, how long can you be sure to occupy the main position? One year or two years? Or do you have confidence and can occupy the longer main position?" Zhang Yang said slowly without rushing.

Luca Tony thought for a while, finally shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with choosing which team to join."

"That's exactly what I'm going to say." Zhang Yang looked at Luca Tony seriously and said sincerely. "I think you should take advantage of your good condition and win more championship trophys instead of continuing to waste it."

Facing Luca Tony's puzzled look, Zhang Yang continued, "I'm serious. You need the championship trophy very much. You have won the Serie A scorer king and the European Golden Boot Award, but you have not won a top league championship trophy, nor the Champions League trophy, and even have not participated in the Champions League."

This is a fact.

Luca Tony is a very outstanding scorer, but he is really late to achieve success. Most of his career seasons have played in the lower leagues. Modena, Feorenzola, Treviso, Vicenza, Brescia, and Palermo are all teams that Tony has played for. He has followed Vicenza, Brescia and Palermo to compete in Serie A, but they have only been half a season or a season, and the rest of his time is still playing football in Serie B.

It was not until 2005 that Luca Tony transferred to Fiorentina and his career improved. Tony scored 31 goals in the Serie A, not only won the title of Serie A scorer, but also became the first player to score more than 30 goals in a single season in Serie A forty-seven years.

The 'European Golden Boot Award' did not bring anything to Luca Tony. His luck was so bad. When the season ended, the Italian "phone gate" incident broke out. He followed Fiorentina to fall into Class B and competed in Class B for another season.

Such a pitiful career happened to a shooter with very few injuries and extremely excellent performance, which can be said to be a tragedy in the football world.

The biggest regret of some celebrity players is that they have never won the Champions League championship. Luca Tony is also a celebrity player, but he has never even won a league championship or a cup championship.

Isn't this miserable?

Luca Tony knew his sorrow, and he left Fiorentina without hesitation, just to pursue the championship.

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "I can't guarantee anything, but I believe that in the past two years, we have been able to win the championship more easily than Bayern, and we have won the championship with higher value."

"You must want to win a Champions League, right? It just so happens that our goal for the Champions League next season is the Champions League!"

"The league, the cup, is also what we want to strive for. You can look at our past achievements. As many media say, we have been creating miracles all the time. We will continue to create miracles, and the championship is what we are chasing."

"Bayern? I don't deny that Bayern can easily win the championship, but how much value does the Bundesliga championship have? How many fans pay attention to the Bundesliga arena? You will get more attention in the Premier League."

"Bayern has not yet come out of the pain of Barack's departure. They have been greatly affected. At least this season, they are not qualified to compete for the Champions League!"

“So the choice to join Millwall is better…”

“…”

Zhang Yang talked a lot with Luca Tony, talked a lot, expressed his ideas, and explained the reasons for choosing to join Mirwall.

Among the words of Yingyang, there were arousal remarks that had been thought out in advance, and there were also sincere communication with Tony.

Tony is over thirty years old.

A player over 30 years old must have begun to consider the problem of declining form. Perhaps it is a bit too early for Luca Tony, but joining Bayern Munich will face stronger and more cruel competition and may not necessarily have a main position. In the past two years, Bayern's performance has not been ideal. He doesn't know whether he can wait for the moment when Bayern rises again.

Millwall is not as famous as Bayern, but has achieved quite good results. In the past season, he won the "triple crown" of the league, cup and UEFA Champions League, which has attracted attention from fans all over the world.

Luca Tony believes that joining Mirwall is also a good choice.

In the end, Zhang Yang convinced Tony.

In fact, Tony chose to join Millwall, and he also had his own ideas. He thought Millwall was good, but mainly because he was used to staying in the small ball club, and he was a little uncomfortable with the big ball club. In other words, his experience before the age of 30 made him accustomed to the atmosphere of the small ball club and was somewhat resistant to the giant team.

This is also the reason why Tony has been playing in the club.

In the past few seasons, Tony has had the opportunity to join the giants, Italy, Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Juventus. The three giants have sent invitations to him, but he refused all of them, instead joining the inconspicuous Florence.

The same is true now.

If Mirwall had not joined, he would have chosen to join Bayern Munich, but Mirwall seemed to be no worse than Bayern, so his mentality turned to Mirwall, just trying to find a reason to convince himself.

Zhang Yang gave him a reason.

Tony finally agreed to Millwall's invitation.

Luca Tony's transfer is still very smooth. Fiorentina has confirmed to sell Luca Tony, mainly because Bayern and Mirwall compete. Bayern's transfer offer is 10 million euros and Mirwall is 11 million euros. Fiorentina also tends to trade for Mirwall because it will get a higher transfer fee.

With Luca Tony himself agreeing, things get simple.

Three days later, Fiorentina and Mirvoor announced Luca Tony's transfer at the same time, which caused quite a stir.

Luca Tony is considered a supplement to Darren Bent's departure, and joining Millwall is still very expected, but this is the case with the English media, who like to tout their players and resist players from other countries.

Darren Bent is an English player and the league again. The Champions League double scorer is much worse than Luca Tony. He only proved himself in the Serie A. He scored 16 goals last season, but it was nothing. Many media believe that Luca Tony cannot replace Darren Bent.

Zhang Yang ignored these reports.

After confirming that Luca Tony would join Mirwall, he didn't even care about the subsequent progress and just stayed alone in the coach's office and started the most important "preparation" work of the new season-

Study tactics!

Many people are concerned about Mirwall's preparations, but few people know that Mirwall's preparations are not even player training, but Zhang Yang's formulation of tactics for the new season.

This is his own job.

Before each season, Zhang Yang had to rely on "Shi Yan Ling Calculation" to analyze the tactics that could best exert their strength.

Last summer, Zhang Yang developed a "dual core" style of play. Relying on this latest style of play, Mirwall won the "triple crown".

Now is the time to develop new tactics.

This season, the team has changed quite a lot, but when it comes to other positions, the changes are not very big. The joining of forwards and wingers will replace the original player's position. The focus is still on the changes in the midfield, mainly Sneijder's joining.

Sneider is a very outstanding midfielder and he is fully qualified for the core position.

This seems to be a praise for Sneider, but Millwall has a little too much core. There were Morris, Braniff, and even Josh Simpson, as well as top midfielders like Livermore. Now there is another Sneider. The midfield configuration is really too gorgeous.

How to take advantage of the gorgeous midfielder?

This is what Zhang Yang studied because there are not much changes in other positions and tactical research is not as complicated as last year. But many things are like this. A little bit of change will cause the domino effect and cause one change after another.

In the head coach's office, Zhang Yang was bored for a week, and he didn't care about changes in the outside world at all. He was completely immersed in tactical research. Except for club staff who occasionally came to the office to deliver meals, everyone else could not meet.

In a week, a lot of things happened.

Pierce came to work at the club.

Pierce went to the head coach's office, said only a few words to Zhang Yang, and was sent away by Chen Si.

Sneider, Maxi Rodriguez, Luca Tony, and Mike Taylor came to the club to report that they did not enjoy the treatment of Suarez and did not allow Zhang Yang to greet him in person.

Many players are not sure about this, for example, Sneider, who thinks he is the "big brand" newcomer, and the head coach ignores it. Will he not be valued in the new season?

No wonder Sneider had this idea.

Playing in the Dutch League, Sneijder knew Suarez. After he came, he met Suarez. He heard about Suarez's experience, but unfortunately he didn't even have the chance to encounter it.

After that, Sneider didn't think so much, because other players who came to report did not see the head coach.

During this period, the club held several press conferences, some introduced players, some were regular press conferences, answered questions from media reporters about the club, etc. No matter what the situation was, Zhang Yang did not appear in the public eye.

When asked about the club staff, he only received a reply, "Zhang Yang has been in the office. If there is any urgent matter, you can go to him by yourself!"

As the head coach of a team, the work is still very busy. Many people will find a head coach, and the club staff will also help convey messages. After a few times, no one is willing to do this job, because every time I go, I can see Zhang Yang being bored on the table, writing and drawing carefully, and working seriously.

At the same time, the attitude towards people is not very good.

"What's up?"

"Take it yourself!"

"not see!"

"No interview!"

"I don't need this, do you?"

"If he wants to know why, let him come to me!"

“…”

They answered one by one, their tone was full of impatientness, and the staff were unwilling to "pass the message". Anyone who wanted to find Zhang Yang would ask him to go to the head coach's office by himself.

This is the easiest way.

On July 14, Millwall Club announced new news that he left Arsenal's Lungberg and officially signed with Millwall, and he received a four-year contract.

Lungberg's addition is a supplement to the midfield sidelines.

When playing for Arsenal, Lungberg was a versatile player. He could play in the middle, wing, or even all-rounders on the left and right sides. However, in the past two seasons, Lungberg has always performed very mediocrely, and Wenger finally couldn't stand it and began to slash his sword and lay off employees.

Arsenal ‘cuts’ more than a dozen players.

Millwall lacked a right-hand forward, so he chose Lungberg to supplement the lineup.

Millwall actually has someone on the right side. Josh Simpson focuses on the right side. After more than two seasons of training, Simpson has also made great progress. His defense has improved a lot and he has been able to play the main position on the right side.

So Yongbery's arrival can only be a supplement.

Lyonberg has not received much contract, with an average annual salary of 1.8 million pounds for four-year contracts, which can only be regarded as a first-class substitute. He chose to join West Ham United and could get a bigger contract. However, Lyonberg believes that chasing the championship is more important. It is better to join Millwall than to get a little more salary, and the choice to join Millwall is even better than staying at Arsenal.

This may be because West Ham United contracts are not big enough.

If the contract is large enough, Yongbery will definitely join West Ham without hesitation, and the championship will become less important. After all, he is over thirty years old. After two or three years, his condition will definitely not be guaranteed. It is still very important to make more money.

On this day when Yongbery officially joined, Zhang Yang finally ‘out of seclusion’.

The first person Zhang Yang met was Wilkinson. He came to ask about transfer issues. The team's basic lineup was complete, and what positions needed to be added to the head coach.

Zhang Yang heard that Yongbery had joined, so he nodded slightly.

Lungberg, who used to be a good player, can only be a good supplement now. Even whether the supplement is "good" depends on his condition.

Zhang Yang didn't care much.

The team has players such as Josh Simpson, Sneider, Morris, Valdy, etc. on the right side, and they also perform well in the right forward. If there is one more Lyonberg, it can only be said that the lineup is more complete.

Zhang Yang thought it seriously and said to Wilkinson, "We also need a midfielder, David alone, and it is difficult for him to stick to the whole season. In addition, we will sign several players who will supplement the depth of the bench. We will fight on multiple fronts in the new season."
