Chapter 603 Unfriendly fans

Wise thought about it for two days and knew that Zhang Yang could not deceive him, but he would do some investigations for such a major decision. The result was naturally as Zhang Yang said, and he later discussed with his wife.

For Wise, giving up football is difficult.

Football has been a part of life since I can remember. Wise started playing in football school and then became a genius and joined the Southampton Youth Team.

At the age of eighteen, he became a professional player and was promoted to the Southampton first team. Later, because the leader McMineme left, he decided to switch to Wimbledon.

Six years later, Wise transferred to Chelsea for £1.6 million, which set a new transfer record for Chelsea.

Wise's brilliant career was obtained at Chelsea. He played for Chelsea for ten seasons, won the FA Cup, League Cup, European Cup, European Super Cup, and was also elected as the English Footballer in 1997.

After getting older, Wise was sold to Leicester by Ranieri, and then went to Millwall.

Looking back on the past twenty years, Wise has been fighting for football. Whether it is a player or a coach, he has never left football.

Now, are you leaving?

Finally Wise agreed, and his wife said to him, "You gave football all your life, but what did you get? You were very successful before, but you were not suitable to be a coach!"

"I believe Zhang, he won't lie to you. Being his assistant is a stable job. If it really doesn't work, you can become a coach again."

The latter sentence convinced Wise.

Zhang Yang invited him to be his assistant, which was just a job, not a bondage for the rest of his life. If he didn't like it, had no potential, or wanted to do a coaching job, he could choose to leave in the future.

When Zhang Yang received the call from Wise, he was about to lead the team to participate in the League Cup.

"Let's talk about it after the game!" Zhang Yang gave a positive answer.

The fourth lap of the League Cup.

Millwall challenged Sheffield United away.

Although Millwall was away, both sides were not on the same level. Zhang Yang sent most substitutes, and the forward partners were Suarez and Weston. The game proved that it was difficult for the two to play in the game on weekdays, but compared with the level of the second division, it was still much higher.

Suarez and Weston are not good partners in terms of technical aspects. Because of their high repetition of ability, they are both players who play second striker, but the two are still very sharp when they are ahead. The first goal was scored by Suarez and Weston.

That's on the penalty area line.

Suarez received the pass and turned his back to break through, but in fact he passed the ball to the left. Weston followed up and attacked directly, helping Millwall score the first goal.

Before the end of the first half, Lungberg scored a goal with his head and changed the score to zero-to-two.

When the time came to the second half, Zhang Yang chose to substitution again, Gary O'Neal and Baragan appeared, and Simpson and Zambrota were replaced.

Millwall is basically a substitute on the court.

But the substitute lineup is not something Sheffield United can handle. The next forty minutes became Millwall's performance show.

O'Neal, Maxi, and Suarez scored one goal each.

The final score was frozen at 0 to 5.

Millwall beat Sheffield United with a big away score and won the ticket to the quarterfinals of the League Cup.

———

After defeating Sheffield United, Zhang Yang led the team back to London and remembered to call Wise back. He simply said, "Come to my company tomorrow!"

"Your company?"

"Zhang's investment!"

Zhang Yang said an address.

At noon the next day, Zhang Yang went to the company's headquarters to wait for Wise. It was almost the same.

Wise was wearing a straight suit and dressed up in a formal manner. After entering the door, he realized that it was meaningless.

Zhang's investment and core members went to the United States, and there were only two people left behind in the base. One was an old employee Shaq, who was promoted to a manager, the other was a new legal counsel, and Zhang Yang himself, there were only three people in total.

Wise glanced in the door several times, and couldn't help but twitched, "Your company... is really big!"

"Thanks!"

Zhang Yang didn't care at all and took the initiative to introduce Wise to the other two.

Next we get to the topic.

Zhang Yang asked Shaq to take the prepared contract. Wise looked carefully and then, with a very surprised expression, "This contract?"

Zhang Yang nodded with a smile.

The contract prepared by Zhang Yang is very favorable, and the annual salary stipulated in the basic salary reaches 300,000 pounds, and the average weekly salary of more than 6,000 pounds is definitely no worse than the job of an assistant coach.

Apart from this... there is nothing else.

Zhang Yang didn't want to put the bonus or something into the contract, just like Andy. At first, the two signed an agent agreement, but the agreement was not renewed when it expired, and Andy kept running around.

The money will definitely not be less.

If all are put into the contract, the work content will be fixed.

Zhang Yang needs an assistant who can do anything and is a "trusted" one, not an employee of a certain position, otherwise he would not have to find Wise.

However, it's enough.

Salary is the most important thing. Wise glanced at the eyes and confirmed that there was no other content, so he signed his name with ease.

From this moment on, he became Zhang Yang's assistant.

Then he received his first job task: helping Zhang Yang move.

"You want to move?"

Zhang Yang nodded, "It happened that this afternoon, the team was training normally, but I needed manpower." He turned to look at Shaq, "Anyway, there is no business, so just close the door. Everyone goes to my house, and there are many things to help."

———

Moving is a heavy task.

Zhang Yang lived in his small building for two years. In two years, the buildings were almost full of things in each room.

Some things can be thrown away, and most of them must be kept.

Since the morning, the house has been busy, and several nannies and bodyguards have helped to pack up their things. Zhang Yang brought Wise and others, and when he came over, there were still many things that had not been cleaned.

Some things need to be cleaned up by Zhang Yang himself, and some others can help.

After a long time of busyness, the group finally put everything in the car. Zhang Yang sighed and invited Wise to his new house.

Beers Avenue is half a wealthy area, but it is more lively than the nearby Kensington Palace Garden Avenue, because most of the nearby houses are inhabited by people, and they are truly ‘rich’ gatherings. Kensington Palace Garden is a ‘nominal’ rich area. Most of the rents are vacant for a long time, and there are more tourists on the street than residents.

Wise didn't expect that Zhang Yang's new home was still quite surprised.

Wise was a big star in the past and received a good salary after retiring, but to be honest, there is still a gap between him and the "rich".

Many professional players who are in service, who are a little more famous, can easily squeeze into the ranks of the rich. Wise is definitely the best among the players. Unfortunately, he is just a balloon star. What is particularly embarrassing is that when he is at the peak of his career, football has not yet developed such a business.

In the era when Wise became famous, it was unimaginable that professional players could get a million-dollar annual salary.

Until now, when talking about the word "star", the annual salary is one million. The money accumulated in Wise's bank account is not as good as the annual income of some stars.

This is the embarrassing place.

In fact, it is similar to the situation in China. The older generation of people who have accumulated a lifetime of savings may not be enough for ordinary young people to make a profit in the past year. The inflation in the UK has not been that great for decades, but the commercialization of football has definitely increased by several times or more than ten times.

A few times or more than ten times increase means that the players' salary has increased significantly. Wise was a star ten years ago, so his income is naturally embarrassing.

Anyway, Wise is not a rich man.

Now that Wise is envious of Zhang Yang and has a manor-level villa that he can't imagine, he also has a lot of confidence in his new job.

———

On that day, Zhang Yang did not leave any guests, so he made an appointment to wait until the packing was done, find the right time to hold a small patty.

Next, I returned to coaching life.

Mirwal is about to usher in the fourth match of the Champions League Group C. Zhang Yang leads the team to the Italian capital Rome.

Rome is a romantic city.

It’s not the first time Zhang Yang has been here, but neither last year nor now, he has felt romance. The only feeling is, “The fans here are so crazy.”

Roma fans are not very friendly, and Lazio fans can be described as "hostile".

When getting off the plane, thousands of Lazio fans came to pick them up. They did not come to welcome Mirwall, but used various intimidation and insulting shouts to "scar" Mirwall's players.

When I settled in the booked hotel, there were shouts from fans everywhere around the neighborhood, accompanied by almost uninterrupted fireworks.

These are all the means of Lazio fans.

Lazio fans just want to influence Mirwall and use various means to prevent them from resting well, so as to affect the next day's game.

This is a clear plan.

The plan is open and upright, and the other party just wants to do this without any concealment.

Mirvoor's entire team knew what Lazio fans were going to do, but they still felt very angry. Zhang Yang said to everyone, "What they do is their business. We need to rest well, don't think too much, it's useless to be angry with them."

"If you go to the police, the police will be biased towards the fans."

“That doesn’t make sense.”

"What we have to do is take a good rest. If you feel angry, tomorrow, on the field, it is the moment to vent!"

Zhang Yang's statement made many players look forward to tomorrow's game.

Zhang Yang doesn't want to swallow his anger.

The fans' methods are very straightforward, but they do affect the team's rest. He can't fight against the fans, but he still can't help but say to the reporter, "I came here last year and wanted to play against Roma at that time, but I feel that it's not as bad as it is now."

"Roman fans are not friendly, but they have much higher quality. At least they think the game should be played fairly."

"Lazio fans?"

"I understand a little bit now why Lazio can't play Roma anyway. They may be complacent that their fans can influence their opponents, but football is a contest on the court, not off the court."
