Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 130

Regarding the Millwall club, Zhang Yang said a lot of things, which were all his feelings and opinions.

These are things domestic fans don't understand.

Most of the domestic football fans are concerned about "world football", and the perspective of domestic journalists is also in the "world scope". Which national team can compete for the Hercules Cup.

The domestic league is the same.

Few media will report on domestic second-tier leagues, third-tier leagues, or even lower-tier leagues. Most fans will only care about the top teams when they watch domestic football.

This is true both at home and abroad.

When domestic media analyze English football, they must see the top teams at first glance, such as: Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and then Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Newcastle United Waiting for the teams, those at the bottom of the Premier League table, few people care about.

When fans look at the team, they only look at the results and the stars.

Few fans will deeply analyze the overall economic situation, fan support and historical situation, but it is often these important factors that affect a team's performance.

As a small "regional" club in the London area, Millwall's overall situation is not good, and it has surpassed most clubs to enter the English Championship.

The British football environment is too competitive.

Although a team like Millwall has a century-old history of team building, it has been a fan organization since the early days of the team.

Funding is definitely a problem for teams organized spontaneously by ordinary fans. At the beginning, they were only amateur teams without large financial support. They only relied on the club's own development. Starting from the lowest amateur league, they could almost use 'self-sufficiency'. To describe it, it is quite difficult to rise to a level.

Every level crossed is a huge success.

Let's imagine.

In a small town with a population of tens of thousands in China, a team was established. At the beginning, the team was full of amateur players from the town. Most of them had their own jobs and played football in their spare time.

Can this team develop anything without a huge external investment?

almost impossible.

That's how most English football teams develop.

Same goes for Millwall.

It was a 'township' team at the beginning, and then slowly developed and improved step by step, using a century of history to pursue glory. The number of real Millwall fans, the elderly and children are added together, and it is difficult to make up 10,000 + People, it took such a team a hundred years to advance to the second tier league, one can imagine how difficult it is.

When it comes to the development of small clubs, Zhang Yang also has a lot of emotion.

Li Jiandong also had some feelings.

The English football system is clearly divided. There are a total of nine league systems, and any team that can rise to the second league can be called a success.

The waiter brought the food and the interview came to an end.

The two chatted while eating.

During the period, I didn’t talk about Millwall or Zhang Yang’s work. Instead, I talked about the "Century Online Football" magazine. Zhang Yang is somewhat interested in the operation of the magazine, such as how the content of the magazine is reviewed and how reporters interview. etc.

Li Jiandong also talked a lot about everything.

After having dinner in the restaurant, the interview was over. When he walked to the door, Li Jiandong asked the last question, "Do you have any consideration for the future? For example, next season, I read many media reports, and there is no Hope you continue to manage Millwall because...seriously, I think you're too young, too."

"Future considerations?"

Zhang Yang thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I didn't think about it seriously, because it's not important. I'm the head coach of Millwall now, and I have to do my job well first."

"But I also have considerations, it's about the team. We are seventh in the league now, and we hope to enter the top six, which means we have entered the promotion circle. My job goal is to lead Millwall to complete the promotion! To achieve the goal of all players in the club. And the fans' dream - to reach the Premier League!"

"Now, that's my dream too!"

"..."

Li Jiandong and Zhang Yang had an interview and got the first-hand information. After returning, he sorted out the relevant materials and prepared to write a special report.

This special report is different from ordinary reports.

Ordinary interview reports can only occupy one page of the magazine at most, or two pages on the front and back. If there are more words, the number of words will be too much, and readers will get tired of reading.

But this news will attract many readers, and it will also ignite the enthusiasm of domestic fans. Of course, the more content, the better.

Li Jiandong's plan is to write about [-] words, add a series of pictures, and add some analysis in the middle, enough to write a large-scale special report occupying five to ten pages.

"Century Online Football" magazine, the next third of the content, or even more, has already been finalized.

It's also good for him.

"Century Online Football" is a comprehensive magazine that mixes domestic and foreign football. Usually, domestic football takes up two-thirds of the page, and foreign football news takes up one-third. This is because they have few reporters stationed abroad.

After investigation and analysis, many readers like to watch foreign football news, and the reasonable content layout is divided equally between domestic and foreign countries.

"Century Online Football" does not have many reporters stationed abroad, and there are only about ten in total. Among them, there are three reporters stationed in Italy, which is the country with the largest number.

Li Jiandong is the only one in the UK.

In the usual "Century Online Football" magazine, there is only one interview report written by Li Jiandong in each issue, which occupies an average of one page, and the news content written in "Century Online Football" magazine is equivalent to Li Jiandong's work performance. If you can write a medium-length interview report, occupying a lot of space, it is equivalent to completing a few months of work, and the leader will also value him. The direct benefit is that you will get a lot of bonus at the end of the year, and the indirect benefit is , With the results of interviews in the sports media industry, the superiors will also value him a lot, because he can jump to a competitor company based on this, and he will definitely get a higher salary.

This is all for Li Jiandong's personal benefit. He exploded with great enthusiasm for work and worked hard to write manuscripts.

----

Millwall ushered in an annoying game, because the opponent is Cardiff City.Cardiff City is not so strong, mainly they are a Welsh team and one of the three Welsh teams participating in the English league system (the other two are Swansea City and Wrexham).

The city of Cardiff in Wales is a bit far from London.

In order for the Millwall team to have enough energy to deal with the game, they had to change the mode of transportation - from the bus to the plane.

Flying seems to have become more advanced, but waiting for the flight, getting on and off the plane, and other airport work can also be exhausting. In addition, many people are not used to this mode of transportation by airplane.

Both Zhang Yang and Aldous' flight will affect the player's state, because they will participate in the game that day, and the impact of the player's state is not good for the team.

"This unlucky away game!"

Zhang Yang couldn't help cursing, but fortunately, the players seemed to be fine. After arriving in Cardiff at noon, everyone had lunch together and hurried to the temporary stadium to warm up and adjust their physical condition.

Millwall's performance was still affected in the game.

Neil Harris was clearly out of form, missing a few good chances, and Jody Morris seemed to be out of shape too, making three turnovers in the first half and almost leading to a goal once.

Fortunately, Zhang Yang had the 'speaking method' in hand, which prevented the opponent's goal from happening.

In the 70th minute of the game, Zhang Yang chose to make a substitution. He put Kevin Keir on the field to replace Neil Harris, and replaced Joey Healy, who had received a yellow card. Husband and wife began to attack each other.

Both sides want to score.

Cardiff City is currently ranked No.20 in the league. The crisis of relegation is approaching, and every point becomes very important.

Millwall also want to win.

That was within Zhang Yang's 'plan', and he very much hoped that the first plan would succeed.

In the end, Millwall was better, or Zhang Yang was better. He predicted the opportunity in advance, reminded Jody Morris, and blessed him with luck, and the continuous countermeasures worked.

Jody Morris scored Millwall's only goal of the game with a volley over the goalkeeper as Millwall beat Cardiff City in a difficult away win.

Millwall flew back to London after the game.

After arriving in London, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Zhang Yang announced the disbandment on the spot, and even gave the team a whole morning vacation. "Tomorrow afternoon, you will gather for training. You can rest for a morning."

This humanized decision made all the players smile.

Zhang Yang also wanted to sleep well.

The tossing and tossing of this day was really exhausting. He went back to the club directly, lay down on the small bed in the head coach's office and fell asleep. When he woke up again, the sky was bright and his mobile phone was ringing constantly.

Zhang Yang yawned, picked up his phone and glanced at it.

an unfamiliar number.

After pressing the answer button, a calm male voice came from the other party, "Is it Zhang?"

"it's me."

"Hello, you should remember me, I'm Gary, Gary Lineker, I heard you recently became the manager of Millwall, God! That's incredible, I can't even imagine, how you went from a BBC staff turned into managers! It's the most incredible magic in the world..."
