Chapter 62
Frederick had a day full of joy and anxiety.
In the morning, he was greeted by Ebenezer, saying that he might take over Denise Wise's position and become the team's temporary leader.
He didn't know how long he had been waiting for this day!
Frederick is too hopeful to become the head coach one day, but as a "academic" coach who has no career experience, it is too difficult to make a name for himself.
Although he has some very successful seniors, such as Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho and Liverpool coach Rafael E Benitez, both of them are ‘academic’ coaches and have successfully taken charge of top Premier League teams, there are more examples of failure. It is already quite good for ordinary ‘academic’ coaches to join professional teams to participate in coaching work.
Frederick also knows that he is 'very good', but he is also motivated, especially in recent years, Millwall's performance has been unstable. The head coach has changed one after another, but his grades have not improved at all. Now he is almost in a relegation zone. In addition, the club's financial situation is not good, so he feels that he still has hope.
The success trajectory of the ‘senals’ made Frederick feel that as long as he has the chance, he will definitely not be much worse.
If you leave Mirwall, you will definitely not have a chance, and the chance is still in the club.
Now, it's the opportunity!
Frederick was extremely happy. He found an opportunity to change his life and began to imagine the beautiful scene of a few years later, leading the team to the Champions League finals.
But Ebenizer poured him some cold water to calm him down again.
"You want to compete with Zhang! But don't worry, the competition method is beneficial to you."
After hearing this, Frederick felt disgusting as if he was eating a fly. He could not imagine that the young Chinese in his early twenties could compete with him?
The two are not in the same heavyweight class at all!
But Ebenezer said that the competition method was beneficial to him, so Frederick reluctantly accepted it. He resisted the feeling of "can't wait to become the head coach" and went to the chairman's office to wait for Zhang Yang.
He looked down on Zhang Yang.
However, Zhang Yang and Ebenezer's struggle made Frederick secretly regret, "Why didn't I fight for a higher salary?"
Three times the salary!
Frederick only received a weekly salary contract of 1,100 pounds, and his income was worse than Zhang Yang. If he increased three times, he would become more respectful in front of his family in the future.
In similar terms, he is paid as an assistant coach, so how can he work as a head coach for free?
This is unreasonable!
Frederick suddenly felt unbalanced, but he obviously cared more about the head coach position and did not dare to speak for his own benefits, for fear that he would not even have the opportunity to compete as soon as he spoke.
Seeing that neither of them had any objections, Ebenezer began to talk about the "fair competition".
"British is a democratic country. Everything we emphasizes democracy, just like the prime minister election, mayor elections everywhere, and representative elections are very democratic. If there are more people supporting them, they can be elected if they represent the will of more people."
"The first thing you compete for is to win more support from Millwall fans!"
"The club will open a voting selection on the official website, and only Mirwall's official website members can participate in the voting. Whoever has higher support will win this item!"
Both of them nodded at the same time.
However, the two have completely different ideas. Frederick believes that he will definitely win. He has worked diligently in Millwall for nearly ten years, and most loyal fans know him. They have no reason to choose a young Chinese man in his early twenties.
Zhang Yang was very sure that he won this item.
He is a 'Weibo celebrity'!
What is a 'Weibo celebrity'? That's a charismatic person. No matter whether he is a Millwall fan, it's not easy to call on fans and ask them to register for a membership?
Then there is the vote.
Frederick? Even if he wins the support of most Millwall fans, he may not be able to win the final victory.
As for cheating or something, Zhang Yang didn't consider it.
To borrow Ebenezer's metaphor, the British Prime Minister's election is very democratic, but representatives who compete for the Prime Minister also have to deliver speeches everywhere to attract votes.
What's the big deal?
Next Ebenezer said the second point, "Players are also very important. A head coach must win more recognition from players, so the second point is to let all players vote. Whoever gets the most votes will win!"
Frederick was even more relieved.
The same thing is said, he worked diligently in the club for ten years, and every player is familiar with each other, and they are together almost every day.
If the players don’t choose him, who else will they choose?
Is Zhang Yang very sure about this? He knows that most of the names of every Millwall player have seen them, but after all, his time in the club is still short, so it is not certain whether he can win the hearts of the people.
"This one is barely considered that guy!"
Zhang Yang thought.
Finally Ebenezer said, "Who is the head coach, Mr. Gligery's opinion is also important. No one disagrees with this, right?"
Who would disagree with the Chairman’s opinion at a critical moment?
Surely not.
So Ebenezer said with a smile, "So in the end, Mr. Gligory will determine the final candidate for the head coach position based on your first two events."
———
On the way back, Zhang Yang was thinking about what happened in the Chairman's office.
That's a bit mysterious.
He never thought he would compete with Frederick for the head coaching position or compete in this way, which sounded like a joke.
But this is reality.
Since it is reality, we need to carefully analyze Ebenezer's series of "projects".
The first and second projects needless to say, are to win the support of fans and players. What does the last one mean?
Gligory's point of view?
Although Ebenezer added a sentence of 'Based on the first two games', if the two draw in the first two games, which side Gligoli will definitely win.
Will Gligory be biased towards himself?
Won't.
Zhang Yang has a positive answer. If he is an ordinary player, he might choose himself as soon as he touches his forehead, but Gligory is the club chairman and he has clear judgment on who he is the head coach.
In addition to directing the game, Frederick is better than himself in any aspect. He is a qualified coach. Even as the head coach, even he sounds like an international joke.
That's interesting.
"But something interesting shouldn't happen?"
Zhang Yang smiled.
He walked into the door with a smile and saw Catherine standing next to the Christmas tree.
She hangs small toys on it to make the Christmas tree beautiful. She does it very seriously and everything is done in an orderly manner. She also cuts colored paper with her own hands and fixes some small light bulbs around her.
"Very beautiful!" Zhang Yang walked over with a smile, "You can make a lot of money if you decorate the Christmas tree!"
Catherine still looks like that.
She was still smiling just now, but when she turned her head and saw Zhang Yang, she immediately tensed up.
Zhang Yang suddenly became serious. He looked at Catherine very seriously. Catherine was a little confused, and her big eyes blinked, as if she was a little panicked. Then he heard Zhang Yang say, "Ask you something very serious. If I have the opportunity to be Millwall's head coach, will you support me?"
Catherine opened her mouth wide, but when she saw the serious expression in front of her, she forced herself to say the ridiculed words and just nodded slightly, "Of course."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Zhang Yang yelled and pointed his hand at the second floor, "Hurry up, go upstairs! Turn on your computer! Be faster! Go to Millwall's official website to register an account, and then click to support me on the homepage!"
"Yes, there is my avatar there! Don't point it wrong!"
———
Zhang Yang entered an emergency work state.
He turned on his computer, logged on to Weibo quickly, and began to call on his fans—
“Major matter!
I want to compete with Frederick for appearance! Even if I am ugly, I am better than that short and fat guy!
This is simply a great insult!
Dear fans, go to the official website of Millwall to support me!
If you are not a member, please register as a member and let us work together to eliminate the negative forces that pollute the world!"
At the bottom of Weibo, there is a comparison of the two people's photos.
Zhang Yang dressed up as a handsome guy and even put on a handsome pose; Frederick was wearing an elderly sportswear, and he didn't even wash his hair, and his appearance was extremely sloppy.
Chapter completed!
