Football: My coaches are all world-class stars

121. Pressure from public opinion

After a difficult victory over Chelsea, 14 rounds of the league have ended and they have achieved good results of 6 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses.

Currently with 21 points, they are ranked seventh in the league.

Only one point away from the previous Leicester City, clinging to the European theater.

Although there is still Manchester United with one game less and the same points as Millwall, the situation is already very surprising.

The next round of Millwall's home game against Leicester City is also Ranieri's most successful work as a head coach.

As long as they can score three points at home, they are likely to break into the top six in the league temporarily.

For Millwall, who is currently full of injuries, this is undoubtedly a booster.

Otherwise, at the end of the half-time, there is no worry about relegation, and the team with no hope of the European war is very likely to be "bad".

...

With the victory, Zhang Bo and his brothers went to visit Wallace after the game.

Speaking of which, the efficiency of the British guy is still faster than Zhang Bo imagined.

When Zhang Bo went to visit Wallace, the treatment plan had already come out.

What's more serious than imagined is that the whole treatment plan takes two full years.

Of course, a group of people cannot rush in the ward, so the current team captain Zhang Bo entered Wallace's ward as a representative.

Wallace, who was lying on the bed, seemed to have eased up a lot. Seeing Zhang Bo's nervous expression when he entered, he took the initiative to show a more relaxed smile.

He said, "How does it feel to be the captain for the first game?"

Seeing Wallace's smile, Zhang Bo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Of course I feel nervous, but the competition was too fierce, but I forgot about the captain's affairs, and I didn't have time to experience it."

Wallace laughed and said, "Really, I watched it on TV, you did a very good job."

"Several rescues in front of the door, and a long-distance raid!"

Zhang Bo patted his head with praise and said: "Hey, there is no one in front of me, can I even dribble the ball? There is really nothing to brag about."

Wallace nodded, was silent for a while, and then continued: "Come on, come back next season, I want to play in the European League."

Zhang Bo knew that no one could face such a serious injury completely calmly.

Not to mention the witnesses, but Zhang Bo, who was watching from the sidelines, still has lingering fears.

Hearing that Wallace finally didn't hold on, Zhang Bo relaxed a little.

He just nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring the team into the European competition!"

Seeing Zhang Bo's serious expression, Wallace suddenly smiled and said, "Don't put so much pressure on him, at least you can keep the relegation."

There is no pressure for Millwall to relegation. Zhang Bo also knew that he wanted to relieve himself, and joked: "Hey, we still have a chance to compete for the championship. What about relegation?"

Wallace laughed and said: "Okay, if you can win the championship, I will give you my car."

He also knew that Zhang Bo was still driving his aunt's car, so he said so.

But having said that, the possibility of Millwall wanting to win the championship this season is zero percent.

Zhang Bo wanted to drive Wallace's car, and it was almost as difficult as reaching the sky.

...

The time to visit Wallace is very short. The patients still need to pay attention to rest and don't bother me too much.

Zhang Bo and his teammates then continued to prepare for the match against Leicester City.

It's just that Zhang Bo never expected that before the start of the game, there would be a very distinguished guest.

Marcello Lippi!

The current head coach of the Chinese national team!

Not far away, I flew directly to London from Qatar, where I was training.

The reason why he came here was to see Zhang Bo's competitive state with his own eyes, and to have a chat with Zhang Bo.

But the main reason may be that the Chinese team lost the match against Iraq in the warm-up match of the previous game.

And... not only the result is lost, but also the process.

In the 10-minute game, the Chinese team didn't even have a shot that hit the goal range.

To put it bluntly, this game can only be won by the opponent's own goal.

Obviously, it would be hell to win this kind of game.

In the end, the Chinese team lost 0-2 to Iraq without any suspense.

Such a sluggish state has caused dissatisfaction among many people, and they are even more pessimistic about the prospects for the Asian Cup.

Lippi came this time with subjective wishes and some objective reasons.

There are still some people who want to achieve results in the Asian Cup and hope to call Zhang Bo into the national team to participate in this Asian Cup.

...

Since coaching Juventus in 1994, Lippi has been coaching the world's top clubs and national teams.

Until he came to China in 2012, he has been teaching in the far east for six years now.

I am quite familiar with all aspects of the country.

And Lippi, as a world-class super head coach, must still have face in the UK.

What's more, Zhang Bo is still Millwall's darling, and the current field captain knows that the head coach of his national team is coming, and there is absolutely no reason to stop him.

So Zhang Bo also met Mr. Lippi for the first time.

...

"Zhang Bo, first of all congratulations. You played very well, which I admire very much."

"Come here today, in fact, it's just a simple meeting, we just have a simple communication."

Lippi has been in China for a long time, and his speaking style has become Chinese.

But Zhang Bo knew that Lippi came here out of good intentions, and he didn't care about his "retreat".

He replied loudly: "Coach Lippi, I have been waiting for you for too long!"

"Oh, I'm on this island of dogs, and I finally meet a relative!"

When Lippi saw Zhang Bo's enthusiastic appearance, he immediately had a good feeling for him.

Especially the word family directly highlights Zhang Bo's strong desire to join the national team.

Feeling certain again, he exchanged greetings: "How is it? Are you still used to life here?"

Speaking of which, although Lippi and Ranieri are both Italian old men, and even have similar looks and styles, Zhang Bo's feelings for them are still a little different.

In comparison, although Ranieri has been with him for several months, Lippi met him for the first time, but deep down, Zhang Bo is more affectionate to the "Silver Fox".

There is no way, Lippi had too much influence on Chinese football back then, and this kind of influence in the blood is not so easy to dissipate.

Hearing Lippi's question, Zhang Bo responded with a very bright smile: "It's not bad, but the weather is a bit uncomfortable."

The weather in London may be better in summer, but once it comes to winter, it will be cold and rainy purely.

Winter is gloomy all day long, and it is easy to make people feel very bad.

Zhang Bo didn't quite get used to it at first, but after hanging around for a long time, he felt that the weather was quite in line with the temperament of Londoners.

Twisting and responding, very uncomfortable...
