Chapter 80 The Wizard
"He's a Wizard! "

In the news of the next day, almost all the newspapers took what Joel said at the post-match press conference as their front-page headlines.

In fact, it was the first and only sentence Joel said in his post-match press conference.After saying this, he got up and left.

Although such an attitude will have a bad influence in front of the media, after being defeated by Manchester City in such an expensive way and losing the team's most important game of the season, Joel's bad mood is indeed understandable.

Of course, seeing the eager expressions of the reporters looking at Duncan, it is also a big question whether anyone cares about Joel's attitude.

The press officer was considerate and didn't say much, so he handed the microphone to Duncan. ,

"I am very grateful to my players. When I first took over the team, we had already stepped into the relegation zone. At that time, the whole world thought we were going to be relegated! Everyone gave us up! But who would have thought that ten After the second round, did we secure a place in the UEFA Cup with a brilliant [-]-game winning streak? I want to say to my players: Boys, you are great! Next season, let's go to the European war together act wildly!"

After Duncan finished speaking, under the expectation of all the reporters looking forward to the stars and the moon, the press officer announced the start of free questioning.

"In this game, among Manchester City's five goals, the first four goals were instigated by the goalkeeper, and the forward received the ball to complete the fatal blow. According to statistics, Isaacson made a total of 6 such big kicks in this game. The ball was tried, 6 of which were passed successfully, resulting in 4 goals. May I ask Mr. Duncan, is the goal directly passed from the goalkeeper to the striker the result of deliberate practice?"

"Please, this is a 100% pass success rate. How can such an outrageous success rate be obtained through training? Even if it is Beckham's free kick, it can't be so high?" Duncan said directly. Refers to the opponent's IQ.

"Did you make such a tactical arrangement?" The reporter was not discouraged.

"I am the head coach, so I must be responsible for the team's tactics." Duncan looked at the reporter, "Can I ask some professional questions?"

"Then can you tell me the reason for the goal assisted by the goalkeeper?" After being led around by Duncan, the reporters finally grasped the crux of the problem.

"Because we usually have training!" Duncan plausibly said.

The reporters burst into tears: Why did you come back to this question again?
"Didn't you just say that even with training, it is impossible to achieve a 100% success rate?" The reporter finally caught the loophole in Duncan's words.

"Do you understand the problem of probability, gentlemen?" Duncan put his hands on his forehead, with an expression of "defeated by you": "Let's assume that the success rate of the goalkeeper's kick-off to the striker is 30%. That means , each pass has a 30% chance of success. It does not mean that if you pass the ball 100 times, 30 times will succeed. It is possible that you pass the ball successfully in all 100 times, or it may not succeed in 100 times Yes, both are possible. If a hundred successes are possible, why not five, gentlemen?"

Duncan looked at the eyes of these reporters, as if saying, "Is your math taught by physical education teachers"?
The reporters looked at me one by one, and I looked at you.They were scrambling to ask questions, but now Duncan's words blocked the question in their throats.

It's quite uncomfortable!

The reporters are not fools either, Duncan went around in such a big circle, nothing more than telling the reporters: the goalkeeper kicked the ball directly to the striker, this is a coincidence! "

But how can this be a coincidence?How could it be a coincidence?It would be fine if there was only one, but if there were four in a row, who would believe it if you said it was a coincidence?

Knowing that Duncan was making jokes to fool them, the reporters were helpless.

Because this unbelievable thing has completely exceeded common sense.Reporters who thought they were well-informed had never encountered such a situation, so they had no ideas and could not deduce any possibility.

"Could it be that Joel is right, Duncan is really a wizard?" After thinking about it, the reporters suddenly thought of Joel's words.

Duncan's answer was so impeccable that the next day, major newspapers used Joel's words as their headlines.

Should newspapers oppose superstition and advocate science?
Come on, that's not what we reporters said, it's Joel who said that.

The reporters used it with peace of mind.

The name "Wizard" is catchy and appropriate.More importantly, although Duncan never refused interviews from reporters, his answers rarely satisfied them. More often, Duncan seemed to be cheating on reporters, so in private, reporters regarded Duncan as Doing is a difficult role.

The nickname "Wizard" is appropriate.It quickly spread and became Duncan's code name.

The discussion about "The Witcher" didn't last too long.After all, this is an era of eyeball economy. The topic created by a game will not last for a long time, and it is the end of the season. There are endless things that require reporters to hype and pay attention to, so the reporters quickly shifted their attention.

Of course, for Duncan, this season has been a successful season.As a firefighting head coach, Duncan led the team to [-] consecutive victories, all the way from the relegation circle to the European theater.

Among them, the greatest contribution is the formation system.

At the end of the season, he led the team to seventh place in the league. Duncan's formation level rose to level 5. The two formations of the two dragons out of the water are the master level, and the four-element formation is the intermediate level.

Duncan's victory over Tottenham was due to the new characteristics of Erlong Chushui's promotion to the master level: allowing players in any two positions to achieve a tacit understanding.

This feature allows the Erlong Chushui formation to avoid the weakness of "two players can only be in adjacent positions", and gives Duncan a greater choice in the formation of troops.

In this game against Tottenham, Duncan put the two dragons out of the water on goalkeeper Isaacson and striker Vassell, which led to these goals.This is why Duncan conducted a "speed test" before the game. Only by knowing the speed of the players can this feature be brought into full play.

In the game, the formation system once again showed a strong and domineering side.With the help of the master-level two dragons out of the water, Vassell's three goals were like a stroke of magic. Not only in terms of score, but more importantly, he defeated Tottenham psychologically.

I'm afraid no one will be too calm after being scored by such weird goals in a row?
Only played 12 games this season, and the formation system has such great power.Then in the face of next season, what miracles will the array system create for the entire season?

Duncan suddenly felt an urge to welcome the next season.

But now he wants to suppress these impulses, because as soon as the 38th round of the Premier League is over, all Manchester City's game tasks this season will be over, and the team chose to disband on the spot.That night, the players took a flight and went on vacation.

In today's Dongtu Stadium, there are only some children from the youth team and the youth team, which looks deserted.

Of course, as a member of the Manchester City coaching staff, Duncan and two assistant coaches, a goalkeeper coach, and a fitness coach cannot rest.This time, on the contrary, is their busiest period.

The head coach of the Premier League team has great power, including all matters such as team management and player management, so Duncan and his assistants have a lot to worry about.As big as the transfer of players, as small as the renovation of the training ground turf, it is up to the head coach to decide.

But now Duncan and the others have to do the main work, summed up in only two: sum up the past and look forward to the future.

They must first summarize the team's achievements and demerits this season.Every player must have an objective, fair and rational growth evaluation.Based on this growth evaluation and the team's tactical arrangements for next season, the coaching staff will decide on the player's stay and contract renewal.

To make a difference next season, something has to change.If there is to be a change, money must be invested.To this end, Duncan deliberately found the club chairman Waddell to discuss money investment.

The Premier League is the most profitable league in the world, and the clubs will certainly not be poor.Good grades and great fame not only mean a good ranking, but also more bonuses.League champions Manchester United have won a total of 4800 million pounds by virtue of the Premier League title.Even the three teams that were relegated received a "consolation fee" of 600 million pounds.

As No.5 in the Premier League, Manchester City has received 1200 million pounds in bonuses and 800 million pounds in broadcast and sponsorship shares this season, a total of 2000 million pounds.And because the team qualified for the UEFA Cup next season, it is believed that next season's sponsorship and broadcast revenue will at least double compared to this season.

Although the team is in a deficit and there is a big funding gap, Duncan still hopes that the club can spend some money as the team's transfer funds.

As long as he has money, Duncan believes that relying on the memory of his previous life, he will definitely be able to find many players with high cost performance.

"We don't plan to invest money in the transfer market," Wardell mused: "In the near future, we don't plan to get involved in the transfer market."

"what?"

"Because the club is in the process of acquisition negotiations, a new owner will appear soon."

PS: The big sponsor is already in place, and the turbulent transfer period is coming. Do you have any good players to recommend?This boss has a lot of money and is stupid...
