Legendary Road

Yan Jing quickly found Ge Ce who was on the sidelines and lost his mind: "Mario, what are you thinking?"

Gotze raised his head when he heard Yan Jing's voice, and smacked his lips at the man whose face was half covered by a peaked cap: "Many reporters have come around the stadium. I don't think there is anything good about a training session. What else is there?" thing?"

"You guessed it right." Yan Jing gave an affirmative answer to Gotze's intuition, "There is nothing to hide, Van Marwijk has resigned this afternoon, so before the club finds a new head coach I'm here to lead the team to the game."

"...Oh!" Goetze was taken aback for a moment, and when he heard what Yan Jing said later, he realized that he was even more excited than the other party, "Boss, this sounds really good! You are going to become the head coach of Dortmund!"

"Hey, don't you worry about Dortmund at all?" Yan Jing tapped the opponent's forehead with his fingers, "Why are you so happy, I can't possibly mention you to the first team."

Getze didn't care about the forehead being knocked, and said with a pursed mouth: "Of course I know it's not okay, because I'm only 12 years old..."

"Yeah, you're only 12 years old now." Yan Jing saw that the future star of Dortmund is still a kid who hasn't grown up and can't play for the team in trouble. He took off his hat and bowed his forehead against the opponent The forehead and the tip of the nose lightly touched each other's nostrils, and the words seemed to sigh, "Grow up quickly, Mario... Dortmund needs you."

"Dortmund needs me...?" Goetze muttered this sentence in a low voice, and met Shang Yanjing's close eyes in a daze, "Really?"

Yan Jing smiled at the little fat man's expectant eyes, "Of course."

----------

At eight o'clock in the evening, the bright lights on the Dortmund news media release hall illuminated every reporter present, and when Yan Jing and Zorc came out from behind the door together, some reporters who watched Dortmund's training in the afternoon even had Guess the theme of today's press conference.

Zorc’s speech was very succinct. After telling Van Marwijk’s resignation and the club’s amicable and peaceful breakup with him, he announced that Yan Jing will be the temporary head coach until a new coach is found. Then the reporter asked questions. time.

Like many reporters, Zhang Li raised his hand high. After hearing what Zorc said just now, he understood that this would be a big news for the Chinese fans—even if it was just a temporary head coach. Yan Jing is also the first Chinese to exercise the power of head coach in the top European league, not to mention that Yan Jing is only 24 years old now!

Yan Jing also easily found the tension in a group of Germanic faces. The press officer present followed Yan Jing's gaze and was the first to click on the tension.

Zhang Li didn't expect that he was so lucky to be the first target. He took the microphone and stood up and looked at Yan Jing: "I am a reporter from China's "Sports Weekly". I would like to ask Mr. Yan Jing, what is the future of the team What are the goals for the game? What about the goals for the whole season?"

"No matter who we face, our goal has always been to win. No club would want to lose under normal circumstances, right?" Yan Jing looked at Zhang Li, "Season goal? Now we are only 5 away from the European theater. Points, it's not an unattainable number - our players have what it takes to win games."

Another German reporter was concerned about tactics. He asked Yan Jing whether he would continue to implement Van Marwijk's tactics, and Yan Jing gave a negative answer.

"I will choose the most suitable tactic for the team based on the existing staffing." Yan Jing replied kindly, "There is no permanent tactic, and anything can happen on the football field, so sticking to one set of tactic is always the best strategy." Difficult to achieve lasting victories."

In addition, the reporters were also very interested in the reasons for Van Marwijk's resignation, and all questions in this regard were left to Zorc to answer.

The entire press conference lasted only about half an hour, and the reporters tactfully did not ask any overly difficult questions, which put Yan Jing in a good mood.

Before leaving, Zorc solemnly handed over the key to the head coach's office to Yan Jing: "Yan, whether Dortmund's fate can be changed depends on you."

Yan Jing stared at the shining silver key in his hand, took a deep breath, exhaled all the tension in his chest and uncertainty about the future, clenched his fists and nodded to Zork.

"Mr Zorc, I think I can do it."

After Zorc left, Yan Jing did not choose to go home directly. He went straight to the Dortmund coach's office, held the key handle, inserted it into the keyhole and turned it lightly.

The entire office is not big, and the interior decoration design is neat and simple, not luxurious. Looking out from the large floor-to-ceiling windows is Dortmund's usual training ground. During the day, the good lighting effect allows every corner of the lawn to be seen at a glance. .

This is not the first time he has stepped into this room. He used to come here often as an assistant coach, but now it is a different scene.

There are still traces of van Marwijk's work on the table, such as the mug he used to usually stand alone on the table.Yan Jing tidied up some drafts on his desk that were probably about tactics. The paper was written in Dutch, which he couldn't understand, so he had to send it to the corner.

After Yan Jing cleaned up everything, he sat in the seat where Van Marwijk would usually sit in a daze, until the laments of a group of boys outside the window brought him back to his wandering thoughts.

What's going on outside?Yan Jing got up curiously and looked outside the window, and saw a group of boys who had begun to look like men sitting on the ground panting. Under the night light, the only uncle standing in the center of the field was loudly yelling at some players who wanted to be lazy.

Hmm... this is the U18 team training, and Nafir is as strict as ever.

For Yan Jing, he already knows the composition of Dortmund's entire youth team very well, from Zorc who is in charge of the first team, scouts, and youth team work, to the U13 goalkeeper coach. He is already very familiar with it. It's also thanks to him going to the youth training camp when he has nothing to do.

Sitting in the office might as well go out to see the training of the teenagers. With this idea, Yan Jing immediately took action, locked the door of the office and went straight to the training ground.

Yan Jing didn't do anything to deceive others. Anyway, he guessed that these boys should have gotten used to his existence, and they didn't know that he became the acting head coach. After all, they were there when the press conference started. What about training?

He set his sights on the "little golden retriever" Coentraang on the court, who will be 16 years old next month.

In fact, based on the performance of the little golden retriever in the U18, Yan Jing really wanted to persuade Zorc to provide him with a professional contract. However, the German labor law clearly stipulates that he cannot enter the labor market before the age of 18 and can only give youth contracts. Players from countries such as England and the Netherlands can sign professional contracts as soon as they reach the age of 16.

Although Dortmund's youth training camp is not well-known now, and it is almost impossible to see scouts sent by non-German clubs, but once these future stars become famous in the future, they will definitely flood into a large number of players from other countries. Let's explore, when the time comes, we must always beware of those foreign rich clubs waving money to lure the young talents in the youth academy.

The U18 boys all stood up because of a rough shout from their head coach Nafer Koch, and then consciously jogged in line, while Yan Jing took the opportunity to wave to Nafer Koch to come to the sidelines to speak.

"Yan, what's the matter?" Nafer was a little strange, because he never disturbed his training, and even some questions about the players were asked privately after the training.

"Nafel, do you think Fabio's recent progress is satisfactory?"

"That handsome boy from Portugal?" Nafer pondered for a moment, "His skills have been great since he joined us, and his performance in the North Division League is also very eye-catching. At the same time, his language talent is not bad. Now basically I can communicate with my teammates in German. But to be honest, his progress has been very slow recently, and I suggest that he be promoted to the U19 or higher echelon for training."

Yan Jing does have plans to promote Coentram to the adult team. Of course, the level of the little golden retriever is still a certain distance from his debut in the Bundesliga—as Nafel said, Coentraon has not improved significantly This is subject to the level of the members of the same echelon, so Yan Jing is going to let him train with the adult team for a while, and then make plans after seeing the effect.

"Can you let him come over after he runs the lap?" Yan Jing explained to Nafel, "I want to transfer him to the first team to train with the team."

"Uh... is this what Mr. Van Marwijk meant?" Nafel seemed a little unbelievable. When did that stubborn Dutchman start paying attention to their youth training, "Yan, you recommended it to him?"

"No, Nafel." Yan Jing's expression showed that he was not joking, "This is what I mean, Mr. Van Marwijk has resigned this afternoon."

Nafer's surprised expression didn't last long, and then he regained his composure, and shouted at Coentraan who was sitting on the lawn resting after running, "Coentram! Mr. Coach is looking for you!"

Oh...heck, I just finished my run, so you can't wait to call me...

Coentraan over there got up from the ground slowly and lazily after hearing Nafer's words, and walked towards the direction of Yan Jing at a pace that was more leisurely than walking.

This scene fell in Nafel's eyes, making him very speechless, while Yan Jing smiled, and then said to the little golden retriever: "Fabio, such a slow speed can't keep up with the rhythm of the first team! Time to consider reversing the decision to call you into the first team!"

The other young players who reacted faster than Coentraang, Xiao Jin Mao usually boasted to them, saying that he decided to come to Germany to play football after being persuaded by Yan Jinghe.

The level of Coentraon's bragging is still very high. It sounds neither outrageous nor credible. In addition, the little golden retriever's skills in the team are indeed very good, and many people believe his words.

So most of the team members didn't care much when they heard that Yan Jing wanted to find Coentraang - after all, they were recruited by themselves, so it's normal to care more.

But when they heard Yan Jing's next words, the entire training ground, which was originally quite quiet, immediately boiled.

"Hey, buddy! Did you hear what the assistant coach said just now?!"

"First Team?! Oh God, this is not a joke!"

"Ahhhhhh I also want to go to the first team! Why did I choose Fabio!"

"Wake up, buddy, with your three-legged cat's skills, it's not bad if you haven't been expelled from our team."

And Coentrao himself couldn't believe his ears even more-he said...the first team? !

So Coentram, who was originally as slow as a snail, started the engine hidden in his body that was better than the F1 racing car configuration in a second, and ran to Yan Jing in a second, and greeted Yan Jing energetically.

"Mr. Coach, good evening!"

And Nafiel glanced at Yan Jing complainingly, why are you making such a big commotion, the boys are all distracted by this!

Yan Jing gave an apologetic look, while Nafier shrugged indifferently, and then walked to the court to maintain discipline: "Why are you arguing, haven't you run enough!"

Yan Jing responded with a friendly smile: "Good evening, Fabio. You seem to be in good spirits. How is life in Dortmund?"

"Not bad, really good!" One of the two "good" was Coentram's heartfelt voice, and the other was re-emphasized for fear that Yan Jing would really withdraw his decision, "The people here are very friendly, especially in their Knowing that I'm part of Dortmund's U18s."

Coentrao's German still has a strong Portuguese accent, but it is not difficult to understand. Yan Jing secretly affirmed the other party's learning achievements outside the court this year, and then entered the topic of the conversation: "You just now I heard it too, I want to call you into the first team to train with the team, of course, there is no possibility of wanting to play."

Hearing the last sentence, Coentrao was obviously a little disappointed, but he immediately put this emotion behind him. After all, being able to train with the first team is already a blessing from God at this stage: " Thank you, sir, I would love to!"

"Then from tomorrow, report to the first team. Remember that tomorrow's training time is 9:[-] in the morning, so don't be late."

"Yes! I promise I won't be late and will make a good first impression on Coach Van Marwijk!"

"Mr. van Marwijk he has resigned, so now I have to call my boss, understand?"

"Ehhh?!"
