The embarrassment of going home at night was just a small episode in life, and Catherine's shyness only lasted for a moment. By the next morning, everything returned to its original appearance.

When Catherine saw Zhang Yang, she still had a tense face and didn't say a word of hello, as if both sides didn't know each other at all.

The two of them are like water and fire.

However, Zhang Yang is a small drop of water and Catherine is a big flame. Zhang Yang can only stay away quietly and prevent the flame from erupting and evaporating himself inexplicably.

He sat on the sofa and looked at the newspaper he had just delivered.

Millwall is in London, and the advantage is that many London sports media will mention a few words in their reports, but the disadvantage is that they have almost no exclusive media.

Now is the time to enjoy the benefits.

When I opened the newspapers sent in the morning, almost all the sports media paid attention to Millwall. Perhaps because of the big incident in Millwall - Dennis Wise, who is part-time coach, was seriously injured.

Wise's injury is too much involved!

Millwall lost a main midfielder; Millwall lost her only team leader; Millwall lost her only part-time head coach.

The last point has the greatest impact.

It’s no big deal to be a team leader. The team leader’s job is repeated with the head coach, and this is even more so in a small club. But if the head coach is gone in the middle of the season, how can you play in the future games?

Many media are "emergency" about this.

Just like a report from "London Sports", "Milwall lost Wies, which means losing half of the team! Millwall just won three consecutive league wins, and they did not feel like they were going to enjoy the victory at all. Wies' injury is a fatal blow to them! What to do in the second half of the season depends on Chairman Gligoli's decision, but Gligoli was overwhelmed by Millwall's financial problems. It is said that they have to pay a lot of debts in January. If they lose Wies, not only will they have to change their head coach, but their financial situation will also be worse off!"

The British Football Daily also reported that "Milwall will face Waterloo because they can't find someone to replace Wise! At this time, good coaches are in their jobs. Perhaps they should consider letting Frederick coach, that's cost-free. The new head coach may not be better than Frederick, at least he knows the team very well!"

The Times, The Sun and others also mentioned the news that Wise was injured. They only talked about a few words in the comprehensive news of the English Championship, and the related comments were all focused on Millwall's situation.

Other sports news in the newspapers are almost related to looking forward to the intense schedule after Christmas.

Millwall didn't think about this yet.

Zhang Yang was also a little worried about the team. He had just served as the "match instructor" not long ago. If the team had major problems, maybe his "match instructor" would not be able to do it for a long time?

This is the most comfortable job he has found.

Changyang sighed regret.

However, thinking that he signed a "guarantee contract", he felt that there was nothing to worry about. It would be best if the club voluntarily fired himself, and he could get compensation of nearly 200,000 pounds in one go.

Zhang Yang suddenly became a little worried about gains and losses.

On the one hand, he doesn't want to lose his job. He lives a very smooth life in Millwall. He can also take advantage of the popularity of football and manage his coaching career patiently. He may have good development in the future.

On the other hand, it is £200,000.

In my previous life, I had a car and a house, so I was considered a social elite, but how many pounds could I have if my family business was calculated together?

This is a choice of preference, future and money.

In this era of material desires, money is always full of temptation. Zhang Yang didn't know how to choose, so he could only curse himself, "Damn money! If you want it, you will come more!"

If it were two million or two million pounds, he wouldn't have to choose at all.

Millwall Club, Chairman's Office.

As the club chairman, Gligory is already in a hurry.

Hearing the news that Wise was injured, he didn't sleep well all night. This morning, Wise was transferred to London and went to visit him as soon as possible and got the same diagnosis.

Wise will definitely not be able to serve as head coach for the next four months.

a bolt from the blue!

Gligory was almost stunned by the thunder. He was always smart and also showed an anxious look. He was over 65 years old and retired, and he thought he should retire as soon as possible.

"I'm old!" Gligory and Ebenezer complained, "If I were younger, I would definitely come up with a solution, but what should I do now? We can't sell a core player and change to a coach who doesn't know where to stay in to coach!"

Millwall is really poor!

Even if they sold Scott Dobby in January, they couldn't make up enough money to pay off their bank debts, let alone take out a lot of money to hire a temporary head coach.

If you hire a coach who is not famous, of course there is no big problem. If you hire a coach who is not famous or has a salary of 100,000 or 200,000 pounds, they can still get it. The key is, what is the difference between hire a coach who is not famous and promoting an assistant coach in the team?

Perhaps not as good as the latter.

The assistant coach at least knows the team very well, and the new coach must start from scratch.

But they can't afford to hire big-name coaches.

It didn't matter much before. Wise's performance in leading the team was not very good, but he could still achieve relegation. As long as he could achieve the relegation goal, successfully stay in the English Championship, rely on the income sharing of the second-tier league, and just tighten his belt, the club can still maintain it next season.

There is no way to solve it now.

Ebenezer smiled bitterly, "You should be here. We only have two ways, one is to hire a coach outside, and the other is to promote the team's coach. But considering our situation, there is actually only one option left."

"You mean you want Frederick to coach?" Gligory asked confirmation.

"Frederick knows the team very well. If he is the head coach, the team will at least be able to play normally."

"But Frederick..." Gligory hesitated, "Can he really be the head coach?" He really couldn't believe Frederick's ability, "He has no problem leading the team to train, but if he is the head coach, he will be even more nervous than Anthony when he goes to the field!"

Anthony Robinson is a talented bride of the Millwall youth team.

He was promoted to the first team at the beginning of the season and was trained as a genius in the team, but he was so nervous that he performed poorly, so he was transferred to the youth team for training.

Ebenezer smiled, "Did you forget there is one?"

"You mean..."

"Zhang Yang! He is no worse than Dennis's command of the game. Frederick is just the nominal coach. We can tell him, let him go to the field and listen to Zhang Yang more."

Gligory hesitated, "But I think their relationship is not good. Will Zhang Yang be willing to assist Frederick?"

"If it were me, I wouldn't want it." Ebenezer smiled, "but we can give them a chance to compete fairly and make one party convinced, and the situation will definitely be better."

"fair play?"

"right!"

Ebenezer smiled confidently.

———

Zhang Yang has five days off.

Five days passed by Christmas. He went out for a leisurely walk around and bought a Christmas tree, small toys and gifts, ready to use it on Christmas day.

This practice warmed Catherine's face a little.

Zhang Yang did not try to please the female Tyrannosaurus, he just wanted to feel the atmosphere of Christmas in Europe.

That's interesting.

But just as the worker moved the Christmas tree to the house and Zhang Yang was about to show off his rare artistic cell, he called him to the Millwall Club with a phone call.

When Zhang Yang came to the chairman's office with doubts, he faced a so-called "fair competition".

"You mean... let me compete with this guy as the head coach?" Zhang Yang's expression was very praising.

"Ahem..."

Frederick next to him coughed lightly and expressed dissatisfaction with Zhang Yang calling him "guy".

Zhang Yang ignored him.

He was so surprised!

In fact, in the past two days, Zhang Yang has also been thinking about the club's situation. In his opinion, the club has only two solutions. One is to hire a head coach again, and the other is to promote Frederick.

The latter is a bit unacceptable.

If Frederick becomes the head coach, he feels that he might consider resigning, or post more Weibo during the game, and use public opinion tools to maintain his authority as long as the other party does not listen to him.

Zhang Yang even thought of the solution.

But Ebenezer told him to let him 'fairly compete' with Flanderick' head coaching position?

Can I be the head coach?

Zhang Yang was really surprised. It was not that he denied his ability, but it is still conceivable how much a head coach needs to know. He didn't even have a basic coaching qualification certificate and could only be regarded as a pseudo-fan when dealing with football. What kind of player training, football tactics, contact with the media, handling many affairs of the team, etc., he was completely disgraced and most of them didn't know. The only thing he could do was to direct the game, but directing the game was only part of the job of the head coach.

No matter how he developed his mind, he never expected that the club would consider letting him serve as head coach.

Is this a trap?

Zhang Yang refused decisively with suspicion. He found a good reason, "I refuse!"

"Reject?" Ebenezer and Gligery were both quite surprised.

Frederick was full of joy and thought to himself that this guy still had self-knowledge.

Zhang Yang said seriously, "Yes, I refuse because I only signed a 'match instructor' contract with the club. If I serve as the head coach, I will definitely have to deal with a lot of things. I have no responsibility to do more of these tasks."

What he meant was that he was paid by the "match instructor" and it was unreasonable to do the "hard and tiring" head coaching job.

This reason is so powerful that it cannot be refuted.

Ebenezer and Gligery looked at each other, and they were both a little amused and crying. This was the first time I heard that a club coach would refuse to be a head coach. That was a rare opportunity. Even if it was a free job, many people wanted to do it.
