Super Training Master

The work efficiency of the Manchester City Club was quite fast, and Malwood just finished talking to Wansheng. That night, Kevin Tagore, who was still in Newcastle, received a call from the Manchester City Club. Chairman Mr. Waddell asked to see Kevin Tagore. It is best to meet Wan Sheng directly. He wants to talk face-to-face about inviting Wan Sheng to be the coach of Manchester City.

In fact, Wansheng was a little surprised by Manchester City's invitation to him. Before he crossed into this life, Manchester City was already a world-leading team, but they only started to rise when they were fully acquired by foreign capital in 2008, and now it is only 2005. year.

Three years to go!

Even though Wansheng doesn't know much about Manchester City at this time, it is important to know that the situation of this team is not very good. They just returned to the Super League the year before last, and the club has some foreign debts. In addition, the former head coach Keegan and the team Some players and even the top management of the club have conflicts, and the performance of leading the team is not good. His assistant Pierce got a coaching opportunity for a period of time, but in the end, Manchester City can only maintain relegation, and there is no further possibility.

He didn't expect Waddle to invite himself.

But thinking about Manchester City’s change of head coach is certain, then it is logical for them to consider their contract renewal with Derby County, which is not going well.

In the end, Wan Sheng decided to go to Manchester in person.

On May 14, it was the last round of the Premier League practice. Derby County's opponent was Portsmouth. This game was tasteless to both sides, so the game at Pride Stadium was more like a warm-up In the end, Derby County defeated Portsmouth 2:1 and won the final round of the league.

But no one cares about that anymore, because it doesn't matter whether the game is won or lost.

After the game, Wan Sheng announced the disbandment of the team, and he drove to Manchester with Kevin Tagore.

The town of Great Derbyshire is about 200 kilometers away from Manchester. It's not too far away, and it takes about two hours to drive. When the two arrived in Manchester, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, but before they came. They have made an appointment with Manchester City staff. So I just arrived in front of the Manchester City Club, and someone was there long ago.

Manchester City Club is located in the center of Manchester City, next to Commercial Avenue, surrounded by the most prosperous areas in Manchester.

Entering the interior of the Manchester City Club, what you see is a piece of green space surrounded by floors. If you look closely, you can see that it used to be a regular football field. May be due to planning area and other reasons. Half of the site is occupied by surrounding buildings.

This is Manchester City Club.

If you don’t know, you will definitely not imagine that this is a football club, because there is not even a regular football field, but in fact, the Manchester City first team, including the reserve team, youth team and the youth team below U-16, They are all training at the base in the suburbs, but the core club only has personnel from the business department.

The chairman's office is in a room on the edge of the main building. When the staff walked in with Wan Sheng and the two of them, Manchester City chairman Waddle was already waiting there.

Waddell looks in his fifties. He is a little short and slightly fat, but his eyes are bright, and he looks like a shrewd guy.

Malwood was also sitting on the sofa.

Seeing Wan Sheng walking in, Waddle greeted them, and Malwood also stood up, politely introduced each other and shook hands.

Wald is the chairman of the Manchester City club and one of the major shareholders of the club. He is also the partner of Martin's chief shareholder. In 1998, Wald started working for the Manchester City club and became the club two years ago. Chairman.

When Vard took over the chairmanship of the club, Manchester City just rushed back to the top league. In the past two seasons, Keegan's leadership has not achieved anything worthy of praise, and even now he has to prepare to part with Manchester City. , so it can be said that as the chairman of the Manchester City club, Wald has made no achievements worth mentioning at all. Many Manchester City fans even think that there is almost no difference between the chairman and the absence of Wald, because his work has no results at all.

Walder was naturally very dissatisfied with this situation.

He hopes that he can make some achievements in the chairmanship. Even if he can't lead the club to glory, he can't fall behind in the Premier League, at least not like this season, when the team has a relegation crisis. Vigilant, so Keegan, who led the team with poor results, can only prepare to leave with a blanket, and he is also ready to bring a new coach to the team.

Find a new coach, guarantee the team's performance, and strive for better results if you have the ability. This is Wald's temporary goal.

He took a fancy to Wansheng.

Wansheng’s team performance is undoubtedly very dazzling. Derby County has become the Premier League champion, attracting almost all the attention of England. Naturally, Wald also has some understanding of Derby County. In his opinion, now this Derby County team It is undoubtedly much better than Manchester City, but even so, there are still some gaps with strong teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea. This young Chinese is obviously very capable of leading such a team to the Premier League championship.

So for another team, this young Chinese will lead the 'lesser' Manchester City, and the results will definitely not be too bad, at least there is no need to worry about relegation, maybe the team can win the qualification for European competitions.

Wald thinks so.

After getting to know each other politely, he directly talked about his thoughts, ...I believe that your arrival can make Manchester City stable. Our goal next season is to strive for European competition places. I I think Manchester City has a chance, and the club will also prepare a fund to strengthen its strength...

Your contract is completely different. I hope you can work at Manchester City for a longer time. Although I am the chairman of the club, I also know football very well. A coach works for a team for a long time. It's better to fabricate it, maybe two or three years later, our strength will be greatly improved, I believe this, your success in Derby County has proved a lot...

So the club will consider giving you a long-term contract of more than four years. Martin also recognizes this. I talked to him. So you don't have to worry about the salary package...

The Martin mentioned by Waddell is the largest shareholder of Manchester City Club. Although he is not the club chairman, his influence on the Manchester City Club is not bad at all. If Martin and Waddell both agree to give Wansheng a big contract. That's like going all the way. Contract negotiation will not be a problem at all.

Waddell kept saying that, in fact, he was expressing his sincerity.

He just wanted to express a message to Wan Sheng - I, and the entire Manchester City club, want you to coach, and for this we are willing to offer a big contract, a long-term contract, and give you a lot of time to build the team. It doesn't matter if you don't get results for a year or two.

That's what Waddell meant to say.

have to say. This is definitely very tempting to the average football coach.

Unlike professional footballers, it is not easy to sign a long-term contract.

A long-term contract can guarantee to keep a good player in the team, even if the player does not perform well, the club can still sell him, but the coach is different, the coach has almost no 'worth' at all, and the nature of the work is similar to some CEO of a company, etc. They are the leaders of a professional team, if the coach leads the team poorly. The club is definitely thinking about changing coaches, not 'stay in the team and sell it'.

If you want to change a coach, it naturally involves contract issues. A long-term contract itself is a kind of guarantee. In general, if the contract is broken, the salary for all the remaining time will be compensated.

The job of a football coach is very unstable. A period of poor performance is enough for a head coach to be fired, so long-term contracts are naturally attractive.

When a football coach takes over a team, it must take time to adapt and transform the team, so Waddell also promised that 'it doesn't matter if there is no result in one or two years', this is absolute trust, that is to say, becoming Manchester City After the club coach, as long as the team completed the relegation on it.

These two conditions are superimposed together, coupled with the big contract that Manchester City can almost guarantee, it will be tempting to put on any football coach.

Wansheng is the same.

However, he was very rational and did not agree immediately, not to mention whether Waddle can guarantee what he said, but mainly because he is more capable, and his requirements are different from other coaches.

Just as Waddell finished speaking and looked at Wan Sheng with Malwood, wanting to hear his answer, Wan Sheng finally spoke up.

Mr. Waddell, thank you for your trust in me, but I want to emphasize one point first...

Wan Sheng said earnestly word by word, As long as I choose to come to Manchester City Club, then whether it is the first season, the second season, or the third season, I will have only one goal, and that is the championship!

Waddell was stunned for a while, and he even felt that he heard it wrong.

champion?

The goal of coming to Manchester City in the first season is the championship?

What the hell is this young Chinese thinking! ?

Waddell felt that his brain couldn't keep up. He always believed that he was still young...at least he didn't enter old age, but why couldn't his thinking keep up with the routine?

According to normal logic, this young Chinese should not say something like 'will definitely work hard' and 'strive for better results' after thanking him for his trust, but he jumped directly to 'My goal can only be the championship' 'On?

Are you really getting old?

Waddell was stunned for a long time before he finally regained his senses. He and Malwood looked at each other and saw the surprise in the other's eyes. Only then did he make sure that he heard it right. He turned to look at Wan Sheng again, and said, Mr. Wan Sheng. ,I do not quite understand you?

I think I made it very clear!

Wan Sheng said seriously, If I choose to come to Manchester City, then my goal can only be the championship, not like you said 'it's okay to have no results for one or two seasons', 'strive for relegation' and so on, so I need to know more about the specific situation of Manchester City...
