I work as a coach at Stamford Bridge

Chapter 17 Reporters from China

Peter Kenyon, the team CEO dug from Manchester United after Abramovich took over Chelsea, was also the CEO of Manchester United before coming to Chelsea. Over the years, Chelsea has become a quasi-rich club, and Peter has played a big role.

If Yunqiao wanted to hire an assistant coach, he had to greet this Peter.But when he wanted to go to Peter, Peter came to him first instead.

Early in the morning, as soon as Yunqiao arrived in Cobham, Peter's secretary came over and asked Yunqiao to go to the CEO's office. Yunqiao has been here for more than a year, but he has never been to that place. Mourinho used to directly Communicate with Peter, Yunqiao has not dealt with him yet.Abramovich himself arranged for Yunqiao to be the temporary head coach.

He came to Peter's office with his secretary, and to Yunqiao's surprise, Peter was waiting for him at the door, holding Yunqiao's hand enthusiastically, "Yun, this is the first time we meet alone."

A very friendly British old man, at least he looks like this, Yunqiao will not believe the surface, how can a CEO who can become the CEO of two major clubs, Manchester United and Chelsea, be able to get along with him.

"Mr. Kenyon, hello!" No matter what the other party said, I couldn't be less polite.

"Hey, Yun, you can just call me Peter." Yunqiao invited Yunqiao into the office, a luxuriously decorated office, "Will you drink tea or coffee?"

"Tea bar." Sitting on the sofa, Yunqiao guessed what he was looking for.

"Go and make two cups of tea," he said to the secretary, "Yun, don't be disgusted, I don't have any tea from China."

"I can drink anything," Yunqiao smiled, although he thought the smile was a little fake.

Peter took a document from the desk and put it in front of Yunqiao, "Yun, this is your new head coach contract, please take a look."

Yunqiao and Peter signaled and picked up the contract. This is a one-plus-one contract. That is to say, if Yunqiao signs this contract, he will be the head coach of Chelsea from now until the end of the season. Yes, the rest of the year is to see if there is any possibility for the two parties to re-contract. If so, it will be established automatically. If either of the two parties does not want to cooperate, the contract can be terminated without paying a breach of contract fee.
Yunqiao also saw his salary, 200 million pounds, of course not as much as Mourinho's more than 500 pounds, which is also a mid-level head coach's salary in the Premier League. This Yunqiao is very satisfied.What he cares more about is whether his power has been divided, such as player trading and team tactics.

It is a pity that Yunqiao did not see this. In fact, except for the Premier League, the head coaches of other leagues do not have such power. Therefore, the head coaches of the Premier League are also called "managers" because they have the right to trade players. .

"Peter, I am very satisfied with this contract," Yunqiao put the contract on the table, "Just one thing, I hope to get your support?"

"You said?" Peter wouldn't know what he wanted, but would he really give it?

Yunqiao pointed to the contract, "I hope this contract can add one more item, and I must participate in the sale of players."

"You know," Peter raised his teacup, "this is what I should do, not what you should do."

"No, Peter," Yunqiao shook his head calmly, "If I am the head coach and don't have the right to trade players, then I would rather be an assistant coach than a head coach."

The office was quiet all of a sudden, Yunqiao took a sip of tea, the taste was not bad, the fragrance is so strong, it should be Tieguanyin.

"You must get this power?" Peter asked.

"Yes, it must." Yunqiao didn't know if he had received Abu's instructions. This should not be something he can decide, and Abu should still make the decision.

"Well, I have a news interview here, it's from your home country, you go and see it first," Peter remembered another thing, "Emily, take Yun to meet his fellow countrymen." Peter ordered next to the secretary.

"Okay." Yunqiao is also very interested in the reporters from China, "By the way, if you have discussed it, can you recruit two more assistant coaches for me. There are not enough assistant coaches now."

"Okay," Peter also heard that Yunqiao is very lazy and always likes to arrange things for assistant coaches, but an assistant coach doesn't cost much to the club. If he really signs a head coach contract with Yunqiao, it will There is no problem with point requirements.

As Emily came to the reception room, he saw a fellow from China, which really surprised Yunqiao a lot. He thought it would be a reporter from some newspapers, but he didn't expect it to be a reporter from CCRV, the one who took the lead Yunqiao also thought that he had seen Huang Jianxiang on TV before.He is a famous football commentator in China.

"Hello, Mr. Huang, I didn't expect you to come here," said Mr. Huang shaking hands on the Yunqiao.

"Hello, Coach Yun!" Teacher Huang spoke very loudly, and the commentator and narrator were full of energy. "We also came here with a sense of humor. We want to have an interview with you. I hope you don't refuse."

"How could it be? As long as I have time, I can do it anytime," Yunqiao said happily. He hadn't spoken Mandarin for a long time, and it was very comfortable to speak. "By the way, Mr. Huang, don't call me a coach. You It's senior, just call me Xiaoyun."

"Then I'll take care of you." They also conducted a survey before coming here. The British media said that Yunqiao was difficult to get along with, but it didn't seem difficult to get along with.

"Do you have time now? Let's do an exclusive interview here?" Teacher Huang asked.

"Okay, I have no problem at all, do you want to take a break?" Yunqiao was worried that they had just arrived in London.

"Okay, we arrived yesterday, and it's just right now."

"Then let's get started," Yun Qiao said indifferently, anyway, he doesn't rely on his appearance for a living.

Teacher Huang asked the accompanying staff to arrange the camera and the surrounding environment, and called Shangyunqiao to get ready to start.

Mr. Huang first congratulated Yunqiao for being the head coach of a club as big as the Premier League, and it was the first time for a Chinese to be the head coach of the five major leagues. He also told him that the news about him in China is very hot now, which is why they The reason for coming to interview Yunqiao.Then he hoped that Yunqiao could briefly talk about his experience.

Yunqiao can only talk about his predecessor's experience of studying abroad funded by the state, such as studying, taking postgraduate entrance examinations, and taking the coaching certificate test, and then started recommending himself from one club to another to find a job. The job of an assistant coach.

"So you can become the head coach or is Mourinho recommending it?" Coach Huang asked a question.

"Yes, if it wasn't for Mourinho, I wouldn't be the head coach of Chelsea." Yunqiao also said the truth, and there is nothing wrong with it.

"Then do you know why Mourinho recommended you?" Teacher Huang explained, "You also know that you are really too young. Many domestic fans couldn't believe this fact at first."

"Hey, well," Yunqiao also smiled, "Mr. Mourinho said that I have the qualifications to become a head coach, so he recommended me to Abramovich."

As soon as these words came out, several people around laughed.

"Okay, then let's talk about domestic football and players." This is the real face of this kid, Mr. Huang is a little speechless, "You know, there are several players in our country who play for the British team. You and Have they been in touch?"

"I know, Sun Jihai and Zheng know them." Yunqiao knows them, "But maybe I am the coach and they are players. We have never contacted, and I don't have their contact information, but next time I will Go to their cities to play and hope to meet them."

"Do you know the current situation of the national football team? Will you return to China to coach?" Mr. Huang asked a heavy topic.

Can he not know the situation of the national football team? In his previous life, he could have been a fan for more than 30 years. He has seen hope after hope, and then was disappointed again and again.

"I really don't know about this," Yunqiao said. "You know I just want to lead the current team well. All my energy is here, and I don't have time to understand the domestic situation."

You don't have time?This is too false. The most idle person in the Premier League is you, Yunqiao. However, since Yunqiao said so, Teacher Huang naturally understands the reason.

"Then have you considered signing domestic players?" He changed the subject.

"I don't know the situation of domestic players. Of course, if there is an opportunity and it is suitable, I don't mind signing domestic players." At that time, the main defender Zhang Lingpeng was spotted by Chelsea at the time, but it seemed that the transfer failed for some reason.

Thinking about Zhang Lingpeng's physical fitness, it can really be compared with the defenders of the Premier League, not to mention the skills, at least the body can keep up.

"Okay, that's it for this interview." Teacher Huang stood up, "Thank you very much for your cooperation."

"How fast," Yunqiao looked at the time, and it really took more than three hours. It seems that he was talking about that life experience for a long time, "Well, I am the host, and I invite you all at noon Go to a Chinese restaurant for dinner."

Yunqiao didn't let Mr. Huang and the others refuse, but dragged them to the restaurant.

　The matter of the national football team will not be mentioned in this book.Everyone knows what's going on.
