Chapter 93 The Opponent's Praise

Joe Royle's words made everyone around him look at Zhang Yang.

Some people were funny, and they could see that Joe Royle and Zhang Yang were not in the same way, and there must be a conflict between the two.

Some people disdain.

They didn't consider Zhang Yang as the "people in the circle" at all, because Zhang Yang was too young and only served as Millwall's "interim coach". They all felt it was impossible to keep coaching. Perhaps it would be difficult to find a coach-related job next year.

Some people are completely watching the fun.

They had no friendship with Joe Royle, and they didn't know Zhang Yang at all, and they didn't think about the mess in their hearts. They just regarded this as a farce gossip.

What would this young Chinese do?

It is a bit unrealistic to expect a boy in his early twenties to say something substantial, but how he can get rid of the embarrassing situation is the key point of the matter.

In the attention of the people around, Zhang Yang smiled at Joe Royle and asked back, "Mr. Royle, I just heard you talk about England. That was a very classic speech. It inspired me a lot. Can I listen to it again?"

Everyone looked at Royle again.

Most people are a little confused, so they don't remember what Royle is talking about.

Royle smiled proudly.

He felt that Zhang Yang gave in, so he would praise himself in turn and let his speech help him get rid of the embarrassment. He felt that he should be generous, so after coughing twice, he spoke, "You have to listen carefully this time. I'm talking about England. Now this England team is the strongest team in history, and is fully capable of competing for the championship in next year's World Cup. I think--"

"My opinion is exactly the opposite!" Zhang Yang shouted suddenly.

Royle was so scared that he was stunned for a moment before he realized that the other party had done it on purpose.

Some people around couldn't help laughing.

“I think—”

Zhang Yang started with a long tone, "The current England team is full of stars on all fronts, and the media boasts about the "world's most expensive", but its competitiveness in the world is not much better than before. By next year's World Cup, England will only be a team that strives for "showing good results", rather than a team that is qualified to compete for the championship."

Royle finally recovered. He was unwilling to be refuted by a young boy. He asked loudly, "Why do you say that? Now England has the strongest lineup in history!"

"So what?" Zhang Yang spread his hands and looked indifferent. "What does a strong lineup mean? Looking at the performance of England in the World Cup qualifiers, can we only say that England is not performing well? Or England is not prepared enough? Here are all world-class coaches with prestigious world-class coaches, and there is no need to say what they use to deceive fans. And, I am very confused, Mr. Royle."

Zhang Yang stared at Royle seriously with a look of surprise, "As a head coach, you don't simply think that the lineup is strong, but the strength is strong, right? In this way, wouldn't Real Madrid win the Champions League trophy every year?"

Many people were amused by the ostentatious language and expressions. What they didn't expect was that in this 1V1 saliva struggle, Reuyle seemed to be in a complete defeat.

Royle was unwilling to be embarrassed in front of his peers. He gritted his teeth in anger, "Why do you have any special opinions?"

Zhang Yang smiled slightly, he walked two steps to look at the people around him, and said, "I am just a newcomer in the football coaching industry. If there is anything wrong with what you say, please correct me!"

After starting with a modesty, Zhang Yang talked, "I have not focused on studying England, but after reviewing the history of the World Cup championship, we can basically summarize it in one sentence: leading tactical ideas and the king of football. If you remember correctly, the only World Cup championship in England was in 1966, which was 40 years ago. At that time, England relied on the 442 formation pioneered by head coach Ramsey, which made the team's offense and defense more balanced. Of course, the great Sir Charlton is also indispensable."

"From here we can find that if there is no absolute king of football, football is ultimately a tactical game. Because in large-scale events, the strength gap between players of each team is not so big that tactics can be ignored."

"Let's talk about England."

Zhang Yang turned around and took two steps. With the preparation of the front, everyone around him listened carefully. "Since the inventor of the 442 formation, the England team has always been in a relatively backward position in the tactical revolution. In recent years, many world-class stars have appeared in the England team, but the king of football said... "

"No one!"

Zhang Yang shrugged and continued, "I dare say that the Premier League is the most commercialized. The FA has done a very good job, bringing substantial profits to each club and making each club stronger. However, the direct connection between the commercialization of a league and the strength of its national team is not as big as expected. The Premier League focuses on the market rather than youth training. Other leagues are better, but the limitations of small clubs also make it difficult to attract talents to join."

"From this perspective, England's ability in youth training is less than that of the Netherlands for about 10 years."

Zhang Yang paused for a moment, as if he was giving everyone time to digest it, and then concluded, "So I think that if you want to make the England team stronger, you still have to take the most basic path, that is, to focus on youth training. The FA should consider policies to ensure the youth training of each club, so that more local English players can appear in the top courts!"

While others were still thinking about Zhang Yang's words, Rosie Pierce's eyes lit up and applauded, "Well said! Great!"

Her eyes were full of admiration.

Lily Handington also looked over carefully, with some seductive eyes looking over with admiration.

Redknapp, who came over, applauded and agreed, "Well said! These words are very thought-provoking! I have always believed that the FA should tilt policies towards youth training, rather than always looking at the commercialization process!"

Joe Royle snorted disdainfully, "No one can make a conclusion whether England is a championship team. In my opinion, England has the ability to win the championship! I think many people will support my point of view!"

"I don't support it!"

At this moment, Arsenal coach Wenger spoke. He was refuting Joe Royle, but his eyes looked at Zhang Yang, "I really didn't expect that a young man in his early twenties could have such an opinion. Your analysis and understanding of the world champion is the same as my idea. Yes, the champion in that class did not have both a star and a top technical and tactical ability? The English team's technical and tactical level is too backward!"

"That's right!"

A voice expressed support for Wenger, and everyone around him looked over. It was David Dunn. He walked up to Zhang Yang with a smile and said, "I have always opposed the FA's coaching Erikson. That guy's skill and tactics are too poor. I don't know what the England team played in recent years. Every time I win, I have to rely on luck or rely on individual players to perform in their own personal performance. That is a regression in football development!"

After David Dunn finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yang with a smile on his face, "By the way, I should say sorry to you. Every club head coach in the Premier League and Championship has received an invitation, but I thought you were just Millwall's interim coach and would not last long... Sorry again, now it seems that you will coach at Millwall for a long time."

"It's okay." Zhang Yang smiled indifferently.

Since he came to the cocktail party and found that many coaches came in and took out an invitation, he knew about this. It was impossible to say that he didn't care at all, but David Dunn apologized in public, which gave him enough face.

David Dunn continued, "The FA has been considering the issue of England, and there are many internal differences. Please forgive me for describing it as 'difference'. This is the fact. We have been discussing which direction to go to England's overall football level. After hearing what you just said, I realized that youth training is more important!"

"The youth training system is also a part that has not changed and developed in England for a long time!"

Zhang Yang’s coverage is somewhat wide, which makes people feel confused.

David Dunn's last sentence pointed out that "there has not been developed for a long time", which makes people think of the development of English football in the past decade. Almost every policy adjustment is for the sake of commercialization, and there are always various problems in youth training.

The English team's youth training policy is almost no different from that ten years ago.

Perhaps this is the crux of English football?

Many people ponder.

Wenger and David Dunn both spoke, and the people around him could not say anything. Many people even applauded Zhang Yang's speech.

Many people also envy Zhang Yang's luck.

Zhang Yang is only in his early twenties, and it is really difficult to continue working as the head coach, but he has received the praise of David Dunn and Wenger. Perhaps he can easily find a job when he leaves Millwall.

That's pretty good.

The head coaches of English Championship teams are not necessarily qualified to join the coaching staff of the giants, and the coaching staff of the giants may quickly become the world's top team if they come out.

The wealthy family is not only the cradle of the stars, but also the place of origin of famous coaches.

As the person involved, Zhang Yang didn't realize there was anything to be envied, because he didn't think that his head coach would not last long, and there was no reason to "find a way out for the future."

Wenger admires himself?

Perhaps when Millwall is upgraded to the Premier League in the future, the two sides will be directly confronting each other.
