Football coach

On August 2002, 8, in the third round of the League Two, Oxford United played away against Luton.

They are all brothers from the third league.

Although Luton was upgraded, he did not move much this summer and did not introduce many players.In the third league last season, Chen Ping was not afraid of Luton, and he easily defeated Luton twice when he met Luton.How could Chen Ping be afraid of him when he came to the second league.

Easily.

Although it was an away game, Oxford United was very active and easily defeated Luton [-]-[-].Lambert's barrel was hot and he scored two more goals.It should be said that the current Oxford United style of play is very advantageous to a team like Lambert.

If Chen Ping played delicate games and attacked with his feet, then Lambert's goals would drop by more than half.But now Oxford United is playing two wings, which is very useful for Lambert, a center forward.

On August 2002, 8, the first round of the League Cup began.

Chen Ping's choice is still very simple.

give up.

League Two has to play 46 games a season, plus the League Cup and FA Cup, there are too many games.Although Oxford United has introduced some players this summer, the lineup is still too thin.

Three fronts?

Chen Ping was not sure.

Therefore, we can only abandon the League Cup.Chen Ping's first goal is still one, and that is to lead Oxford United to continue to upgrade.If Chen Ping can lead Oxford United to upgrade again, it will definitely shock the English football world.

Therefore, Chen Ping will not waste the chance of promotion for a cup like the League Cup.

Full bench.

But what Chen Ping didn't expect was that Chen Ping had the same idea, and so did the opponents of Oxford United.The opponent in the first round of the Oxford United League Cup is the same League Two team Bristol City Club.

Bristol City Club is not as strong as Wigan Athletic or Crewe, but their goal is also to upgrade.So they are also preparing to give up the League Cup and send all the substitutes.

Both are substitutes.

Although he gave up the game, he just said that he did not want to waste the main players in the League Cup.If the substitute players can win, Chen Ping will not accept defeat willingly.After all, it is also a good thing to let one's substitute players receive some exercise.Both sides were substitute players. Chen Ping did not expect that Oxford United finally eliminated Bristol City Club [-]-[-] and entered the second round of the English League Cup.

On August 2002, 8, the fourth round of the League Two began.Oxford United host Northampton.Northampton can be regarded as the number one team in the League Two. Although they drew with the mighty Crewe in the first round, it was all due to good luck.

But in the next second and third rounds, they all lost by big scores.

They met Oxford United in the fourth round.

Chen Ping was not polite either.

At home, they swept Northampton with a score of [-] to [-].

On August 2002, 8, in the fifth round of League Two, Oxford United met another old friend in an away game, Plymouth, which was promoted from League Three together with Oxford United.Surprisingly, Plymouth's four games turned out to be one win, two draws and one loss, ranking seventh in the League Two.

But when old friends meet, the two sides are very familiar.

Plymouth is aware of Oxford United's offensive strength, so they are very conservative in the game.Oxford United's offensive routine is relatively simple. Once the offense of the two sides is blocked, the offensive power will drop drastically.So the game didn't go very well.

Fortunately, he took advantage of a set kick and scored the only goal.

One to zero.

On August 2002, 8, the sixth round of the League Two began.Oxford United has consecutive away games, and the away game encountered Cardiff, a strong team in the English League Two.The game is too intensive, whether it is Oxford United or Cardiff, there are some signs of lack of physical strength in this game.

Played relatively flat.

Zero to zero.

A draw, Oxford United's first draw since the start of the season.

At the end of the six rounds, Oxford United had five wins and one tie, accumulating [-] points and ranking first in the League Two.Scored the most goals and conceded the fewest goals in League Two.It has become the biggest dark horse in the League Two.

It can no longer even be said to be a dark horse.

Only in the first six rounds, Oxford United has already played five of the top ten teams in the current League Two.In fact, it is not just a dark horse for Oxford United. No one would have thought that the three teams that have been promoted to League Three this season are currently ranked in the top ten of League Two.

strong team.

Many newspapers have described Oxford United as a strong team.

"Chen, have you ever thought about leaving Oxford United?"

After finishing the sixth round of the League Two, there was an eight-day break in between.In the seventh round of the League Two, Oxford United will face another strong team in the League Two, Queens Park Rangers, at home.

However, the morale of the current Oxford United players is very high.

Not afraid of opponents.

There are also too many games in August, so Chen Ping gave the players two days off.Daniel Donaldson was drinking with Chen Ping, and suddenly asked Chen Ping this question.

"Have."

Chen Ping nodded.

Nothing is hidden.

Oxford United has always been a small stage, a small pond.Even if Oxford United is now out of the financial crisis, Oxford United is still a small club.Philoz Carson, the owner of Oxford United, has little money, and all his net worth put together is not much.

In League Two and League C, even if you don't have much money, you can live well with an excellent coach.Look at the Crewe team, they are also poor jingles, but they have

A head coach who has coached for 20 years.It will allow Crewe to live well in League One and League Two.

When the strength is reached, go to the League One.If you sell a few youth players, you will be relegated to League Two.Cultivated several young players in League Two, and then promoted to League One.

That's how the Crewe live.

But when it comes to League One, there is a big problem without money.Which one of the teams that want to upgrade the Premier League does not spend money.With Philoz Carson's capital capacity, Oxford United's reach in League One is already the limit.

Chen Ping is not Lei Feng.

Although he has a lot of affection for Oxford United, Chen Ping will never waste himself in Oxford United for Oxford United.Chen Ping needs a big stage, so he has nothing to hide.

"I think so too."

Daniel Donaldson sighed.

"Chen, our family has been fans of Oxford United for generations. You are the most talented coach I have ever seen. It is a blessing for Oxford United to have you. If possible, I really hope you can continue to coach Oxford United , so Oxford United may really have a chance to become a top league team again. Oxford United has not played in the top league for many years."

Chen Ping nodded.

The locals in Oxford are almost all fans of Oxford United.Oxford United has been established for 110 years, and several generations of people in Oxford have been fans of Oxford United.

"But I know that it is impossible for you to stay at Oxford United. As long as you lead the team to upgrade to League One this season, maybe even the Premier League teams will look at you."

Yes.

Don't underestimate this upgrade.Continuous upgrades will greatly increase the reputation of the coach.

Let’s talk about Moyes, who just became the head coach of Everton at the beginning of this year.Why can he become famous and why can he be favored by Everton.It is because when he was coaching in Preston, he led Preston, the relegation team in League Two, to become a strong team in League Two, and led Preston to upgrade to League One.And the performance in League One is not too bad.

That's why Moyes' reputation has greatly increased. Several clubs in the Premier League have extended an olive branch to Moyes.

And Chen Ping's current results are not worse than Moyes.As long as Chen Ping leads Oxford United to upgrade this season, the results will be better and more dazzling than that of Moyes at the beginning, and it will definitely attract the attention of many teams.

Maybe there is a Premier League team in it.

"Chen, do you need me to flatter you for you?"

"how?"

"I have been in this industry for many years, and I know many journalists in this field. Although your grades are very good now, let me tell you the truth, don't be unhappy. After all, you are not British, and people will still have doubts about you. You want To get a real invite, I guess it won't be possible until you lead the team to promotion. Then the time will be tight, you choose a team, and then it will be difficult to prepare. There is not even a good one at that time. Invitations are just ordinary invitations."

"kindness."

Chen Ping understood what Donaldson meant.

Chen Ping is an outsider, always an outsider.The rejection of foreign coaches in English football is very strong. Don't look at the fact that many foreign coaches have come to England in recent times, but very few of them have really succeeded.

Many of those people are well-known coaches in European football.

Compared with them, Chen Ping is a real outsider, a coach from China.Compared with Moyes, even if Chen Ping's grades are better than Moyes', he is far behind in this respect.

Moyes is a Scot, and the Scottish coach has great influence in English football.Even if many clubs are really interested in Chen Ping, they will be cautious just because of Chen Ping's status as the Chinese coach.

Although this exclusion is not public, it still exists.

"Chen, I can help you contact some journalists to build momentum for you. Let a lot of potential clubs start paying attention to you, so that they will approach you before the end of the season. You will also have enough time to pick a club that suits you .”

"Daniel, aren't you an Oxford United fan? You want me to find a suitable club so much?"

Chen Ping asked with a smile.

"Hey--"

Donaldson sighed, and said: "Oxford United is a small club, and it is already a top priority to be able to reach League One. And I also want to live, and I also expect to become a top reporter in this industry."

"You like me so much?"

"Yes. I believe in you, and I believe that you will become the top coach. I also expect to cooperate with you and become the best reporter in football. I also want to make money, don't you think so?"

There are many things in Chen Ping's mind.

The football circle is one such circle.As a coach, you have to deal with the top management of the club, you have to deal with player agents in the middle, and you have to manage the team.Of course, this process includes dealing with reporters.

Any successful coach has an agent they are familiar with, a reporter they are familiar with, and they also have their direct players.And the cooperation of these people is not just a simple cooperation, it is often accompanied by huge economic benefits.

So does Chen Ping.

If you want to achieve great success, you must have a good relationship with some big agents, you must have a group of reporters who speak for you, and you must also have your own direct players.

Daniel Donaldson?

Will he be his ally?But at this stage, Chen Ping really needs someone to praise him, so that everyone in the English football world knows his name.Although it can't be compared with those coaches in the Premier League, at least let the English football clubs see Chen Ping's achievements.Let them have a little impression of themselves, and when they think about coaching in the future, they can also think of Chen Ping's name.

So Chen Ping said slowly: "Then I will thank you first."
