Chapter 81 Coach Training
After the whole game, the Millwall players hugged and clapped each other on the court to express their celebration of victory.

After that, they walked out of the field with a smile on their faces.

Derby County's players all looked listless, and some looked disappointed. No one in Derby County expected that the final result would be zero to three against Millwall at home. They not only lost points, but also lost Lost face.

Zhang Yang waved to the players leaving the field, and then remembered to shake hands with the opponent's head coach.

Grigory and he didn't like each other, they made a handshake gesture, didn't even touch their hands, turned around and walked away at the same time, as if they didn't even have the intention to look at each other more.

After entering the stadium passage, Zhang Yang met Ebenezer walking over.

Ebenezer greeted him, waved and smiled, "[-] to [-], well done! We have won five consecutive victories."

"I told you on the way here that you don't have to worry too much."

Zhang Yang replied with a smile.

"I'm not as confident as you are." Ebenezer shrugged, "Seeing the results of these two games, I think Grigory will be very satisfied too. I even forgot when was the last five consecutive victories .”

"You don't need to be so happy." Zhang Yang said, "Because there will be more victories in the future, you should praise your good mood a little bit and release it slowly, otherwise your stomach will burst!"

"I hope it's as you said."

After Zhang Yang talked to Ebenezer, he turned the corner and went to the press conference.

Ebenezer looked at his back with a complex expression on his face.

In fact, from the very beginning, he and Gregory were not optimistic about Zhang Yang as the head coach, but because of the "unexpected voting results", they were a little bit embarrassed, so they decided to let Zhang Yang take over the team.

In the two's considerations, if the team's performance declines, they have a reason to let Frederick be the head coach, and Zhang Yang's performance in leading the team is poor, so they can only assist Frederick.

It's not that they have any idea of ​​discrimination. The main thing is that Zhang Yang is too young, and normal thinking would not think that he is qualified to be the head coach.

As imagined, this young man is not able to fully take over the work of the head coach.

He doesn't understand many things.

For example, he hardly participates in the team's training, and the tactical training has not been carried out until now. In addition, he and Aldous have always been in charge of the specific affairs of leading the team.

but……

The team can win!
No matter how many things this young man doesn't understand, no matter how many things he can't handle well, as long as the team wins, everything else seems to be trivial.

Ebenezer was full of complexities.

He suddenly felt that it would be good to continue like this, even if most of the work of this young man had to be shared by others, but if the team's performance became very good, everything would be worth it.

----

The press conference site.

Many reporters were waiting for Zhang Yang's arrival. Derby County coach Gregory had been here before, but as the loser, he didn't want to talk too much at all. He said a few unnutritious words and didn't even answer a question. Just walked away.

Journalists are waiting for a 'winner'.

Compared with Gregory, there are too many topics about Zhang Yang. He does not talk about 'age', 'nationality' and 'experience'. After serving as the head coach of Millwall, he led the team for two consecutive years With a win in five games, Millwall has won five games in a row, which is also a heavy topic in the Championship.

The media reporters waited for more than ten minutes, and when some reporters impatiently protested to the press officer, Zhang Yang's figure appeared in front of the venue, and the venue became much quieter.

Zhang Yang walked into the venue with a smile, and a young female reporter asked a question halfway through. He just smiled sweeter, and said to the female reporter, "Sorry, miss, the question time has not started yet."

The female reporter lowered her head shyly.

There was laughter from the side.

Zhang Yang lightly 'coughed' twice, went on to the stage and sat down, suddenly he felt a little puzzled, and looked at the female reporter again, only to find out that he was still an acquaintance!
It was Frieda!

At the very beginning, when Brand worked under Brand in the BBC Sports Department, Frieda and him were colleagues, and the two had a few words. Later, they worked in the same building and would talk when they met.

After I came to work in Millwall, I haven't seen each other. I didn't expect that the other party would come to interview me.

This is very interesting.

Zhang Yang glanced at Frieda several times in a row, making the other reporters beside him puzzled.

They suspect the relationship between the two.

Zhang Yang said as a matter of routine, "Our players performed very well in this game. I am very satisfied with the team's performance, 0 to 3, and the result proves everything."

"That's all I want to say. Let's start asking questions, but it's better to be faster. Everyone should know that we are playing away, and it will take two hours to go back. I am a bit rushed."

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he immediately pointed to Frieda, meaning to give her a chance to ask questions. The reporters at the press conference are all competing with each other. When they see a good acquaintance, they must take care of them.

Frieda looked around and asked excitedly, "Mr. Zhang, as far as I know, before you came to work in Millwall, you worked as an Italian translator in the BBC Sports Foreign Media Department, and you also participated in BBC broadcasting. 'Voices of the Premier League'. Your work is football-related, but only media-related. How did you get the idea to work for a professional football club?"

The questions from acquaintances are different!

A problem got to the bottom of it.

Zhang Yang thought about it carefully before saying, "I remember, it was at the beginning of December, and Mr Gregory appreciated my comments on the 'Voice of the Premier League' program. He thought I had the ability to guide Millwall's game. Work. For me, this is a challenge in a new field."

"At that time, I thought about it for a long time and found that a nine-to-five job was not suitable for me. I needed some challenging work, so I chose to go to Millwall Club."

This was the first time Zhang Yang mentioned this, and the media reporters in the audience rushed to record it.

The press officer didn't point to other reporters, so Frieda continued to ask questions, "According to some sources, when you first went to work in Millwall, your position was a 'match instructor', but you soon became the head coach. I believe the boss The coaching job is very challenging, now that you are the head coach, how do you personally feel about the job?"

"Very busy."

Zhang Yang replied directly, "This is not an easy job. Since becoming the head coach, my leisure time has been shortened by 90.00%. Yes, I work most of the time, but I still feel a little overwhelmed."

"However, I think this kind of busyness is very suitable for me. When I lead the team to victory, I believe that I bring joy to the fans, which is the most important thing."

"Just like today's game, we won. I believe that every fan who loves Millwall will be satisfied with the game."

"That's what drives my work."

From the perspective of satisfying the fans, Zhang Yang described the purpose of the head coach's work, which made some media reporters on the scene applaud.

Of course, nothing can please everyone.

The Derby County support media was very dissatisfied, because Zhang Yang used today's game as an example, so when the next question was left to the reporter from the Great Derby County Town, the other party's question was immediately targeted, "Then you think you have made a good decision. Coach work?"

Zhang Yang spread out his hands, with an expression on his face, "At least up to now, we have won two games, and it is five consecutive victories in the league."

The reporter asked, "Don't you think this is just luck? Millwall has no advantage at all, you are just luckier."

Zhang Yang laughed and asked, "Do you remember what I said before the game?"

"I said that Mr. Gregory's bad image may bring bad luck to Derby County. So you should blame Mr. Gregory. Derby County is not lucky. Do you want to put the responsibility on me? "

"..."

The reporter fell silent.

There was a lot of laughter at the scene.

The media reporters suddenly realized that no matter how many times this joke is told, it still sounds funny!

----

A lot of media reported on the game that night, and the report centered around 'Millwall's five-game winning streak'. When it comes to this game against Derby County, there are too many topics.

For example, the image problem of Derby County coach Gregory 'may' bring bad luck to Derby County.

Another example is Zhang Yang's personal experience.

In addition, Millwall's good results, Zhang Yang took office less than a week, led the team to win two home and away games, the results are quite satisfactory to the fans.

In the context of Millwall's five-game winning streak, there have been quite a few positive comments in the media.

Many and many negative reviews.

The topic of negative comments mainly revolves around Zhang Yang's youth, saying that he's "crazy after two victories", and "disrespect to his seniors", and even "no command for the whole game, just sit and watch Millwall win". It has also become the focus of media criticism.

After reading the reports in the media, you can know that if the media makes negative reports, they can always find various reasons, and some reasons are incredible.

Zhang Yang is a bit used to it.

In the previous game, he was still in the mood to search for relevant reports, but now he just laughed it off.

The team had a rare day off the next day.

There is a four-day break between the next game against Watford, and four days will also be a relief in the intensive post-Christmas schedule.

When the players are on vacation, the coach is also relaxed.

Frederick and Aldous are all on vacation, and they can easily spend time with their families to make up for the regret of working most of the time around Christmas.

Zhang Yang also had a day off.

But Zhang Yang didn't have time to stay at home lazily. At eight o'clock in the morning, he got dressed and walked out of the room.

He is about to start attending the London Football Association's regional coaching training.
