Chapter 25 We Will Not Show Mercy!

Wan Sheng looked at the three tasks, read them word by word, and understood them carefully.

Three missions, three types.

The first is the task of leading the team, which is similar to the task of 'the road to relegation' that he just became the team's head coach last season, but now the goal is to enter the 'promotion class'.

According to the promotion rules of the League One, the top two teams in the league can directly enter the Premier League next season, and the second to fourth places need to participate in the promotion play-offs to determine the remaining promotion spot.

To complete the 'New Season's Journey' task, the minimum standard is to enter the top six in the league, that is, have the opportunity to upgrade, but fail in the promotion play-offs, so you can only get 1500 experience points; whether it is to enter the top two in the league, or participate in If you can reach the upgrade goal, you can get the highest reward, that is, 3000 experience points, and there are special rewards...Upgrade a skill to the Max perfect skill? Two more skill upgrade points?

These two terms reveal a lot.

One is that there must be skills that can improve the level, but I have not yet met the requirements, nor have I received any level-up skill points.

The second is the name of the highest level of skill called Max Perfect Skill.

So, for ordinary beginner skills, it takes several levels to reach the perfect Max skill, and how many skill points does it take?

Wan Sheng estimated at least two more, because the coaching skills he has now, some skills are marked 'this is an advanced skill', from the beginner to the advanced, the advanced may be one step closer, but the advanced and Max There should be other classes between perfect skills, such as high-level, but he can only rely on the name to infer, after all, he does not have any skill points now. No skill level has been raised either.

The second task is the normal streak achievement task, the reward is only experience, there is nothing special to say.

However, Wansheng saw the difficulty in it.

Last season, he only coached ten games, and the task of winning streak was only three, and now the streak has to be completed. But it takes five consecutive victories, ten consecutive victories, fifteen consecutive victories.

A five-game winning streak is possible. Ten consecutive victories is a bit too difficult. After all, ten consecutive games have been outstanding, and it is not easy to defeat all opponents, let alone fifteen consecutive victories.

But there is always a chance.

Wan Sheng looked at the third mission, which was the first honorary mission he received, and there was only one content - winning the first championship.

What does this champion mean?

There are three major events that League One teams can participate in, one is the League One. The other two are England's cup competitions - the League Cup and the FA Cup. In terms of chance, there are chances in all three competitions. That is to say, if the team performs well, they have the chance to win three championships. However, the honor task does not mention what kind of championship it is. Wansheng considers which championship it should be. Either way, after all, the mission is just to win the championship, and it doesn't specifically refer to any kind of championship.

Quest Rewards--Enable Honor Skills?

Compared to opening honor skills. The reward of 500 experience points is estimated to be much more symbolic. After all, a new skill is not comparable to 500 experience points.

Wan Sheng's heart became hot.

If he can complete these tasks, he will gain a lot of experience, and also get the opportunity to upgrade skill points, upgrade MAX perfect skills, and start honorary tasks. This reward is too rich.

At that time, in the football training master system, I can also experience the feeling of a nouveau riche, not now. I want to upgrade to a player union, and the experience I have accumulated for more than a month is not enough. The 'poor' is a bit too pitiful. .

Then the easiest way to complete the task is to lead the team to the league championship!

If you lead the team to win the league championship, you can directly complete two more important tasks. As for the task of winning streak, you can just go with the flow. It is the best to be able to complete it, and it is not a pity if it cannot be completed.

Wansheng had always made it his goal to lead the team in the new season, but now his mind has changed. Since he has such a good task, he must complete it.

His heart has been directed to the champion!

...

The league is approaching.

As early as a few days ago, the media began to report on the league. During the summer transfer period, the most reported is the transfer and preparation of each team.

Derby County was a low-key mess in preparation.

There is nothing special about their transfer, except to buy a main player from Millwall's injury recovery, they have no other attractive signings, but they have sold a lot of players, such as Nico Hertz Greg, Adam Bode, etc. all have certain strengths in League One. The two introduced young players, Leto Ziegler and Leighton Baines, are simply newcomers to the professional league. Ribery is down. Not a teenager, but the 24-year-old is not well known even in France, let alone in England.

So the media's summary of Derby County's transfer is, "Compared to last season, the strength has decreased slightly."

preparations.

Derby County has always been training in closed training, and the media can't interview the specific training situation at all. Three warm-up matches, two big wins against lower league teams, and a 1:3 loss to Middlesbrough in the Premier League. This result is ordinary. It can't be more ordinary, there is nothing worth reporting at all.

Derby County is always quite low-key, giving the impression that the goal of Derby County this season will still be to avoid relegation.

Before the first round, many major English media, such as "Manchester Sports News", "Football News", etc., will comment on each professional league, and even Sky Sports TV in England will have a 'League League Special' column for each player. When making comments, the comments Derby County received were basically 'this team, led by a young Chinese, can only fight for relegation in the new season'.

"Their situation is very dangerous!"

"Derby County's results were poor last season, falling all the way to the edge of the relegation circle. Fortunately, the results were good at the end of the season and barely completed the relegation. However, in the summer, Derby County's strength did not increase, but became weaker. They were in the warm-up match. The performance is not very good, and they can only fight to avoid relegation in the new season!"

This is the prevailing view in the media outside of Derby County.

There are more reports on Derby County in the East Midlands. The ordinary comments are similar to those of the big media outside Derby County. They are all saying that Derby County can only barely avoid relegation, and the two League One teams in the East Midlands region The team, Nottingham Forest is considered to have the hope of qualifying for the Premier League.

The mainstream view in the Derbyshire area media is even more pessimistic.

The mainstream view here, of course, refers to the mainstream media headed by Derby County Sports News. Although Manson doesn't like them, they have to admit that they do occupy a mainstream position in Derbyshire, after all, they have a fixed readership and occupy the largest newspaper sales in the market. Traffic to the newly created media site is also very good. All these together, it's a bit whimsical for Derbyshire Life to squeeze them out of their place for a short period of time.

Their point of view is, "Derby County may not be able to avoid relegation."

"Next season, we will have to find Derby County in the English Second Division. By the way, the FA has decided to restructure the English First Division. At that time, the English First Division will become the English Premier League, then the English Second Division will be Move up one tier... contribute to Derby County. They can still stay in the First Division! It's just the First Division at that time. It's already the third division in England!"

After talking about the situation in Derby County, the media began to report on the first league game.

Their conclusions are pessimistic.

"It is very difficult for Derby County to win the first victory. Perhaps after the first round of the league, Derby County will directly fall to the bottom of the league..."

This "prediction" is even more pessimistic than Derby County's relegation. The relegation is only the bottom three in the league, but the "prediction" game is the bottom one, that is to say, they think Derby County will lose the game by a big margin.

The media will feel that way. It's because Derby County's opponent is West Ham United.

West Ham United is an old Premier League team.

In the first two seasons, West Ham's results were very good. Their board of directors has increased their investment in the club, trying to make West Ham a team that can compete for places in European competitions, so there are many stars in West Ham, and their salary level even ranks in the top 20 in the Premier League. The sixth place in the team.

It’s a pity that West Ham United’s performance last season was a bit tragic. The sixth-ranked salary level in the Premier League could only fight for relegation at the end of the season. At the end of the final round of the league, rivals won the game on goal difference and pushed them into relegation.

They had a debt burden of more than £40m on their backs when they were relegated, and relegation from the Premier League would cost them around £18m. Currently, they are looking around for buyers to sell players.

They recently sold veteran striker Ferdinand to "newly-promoted" Leicester City. Before leaving, Ferdinand said that although the team was relegated, he was unwilling to leave, but the club was unable to renew his contract with him after the relegation.

In addition, West Ham United also traded with Chelsea for £6 million to sell England football star Glenn Johnson. It's also the first player to be transferred since West Ham's relegation, but it won't be the last.

Even if the league is about to start, West Ham is likely to continue the big sale to save the team from the fire.

West Ham United in this situation is definitely not a good one, but the 'skinny camel' is bigger than Ma. West Ham United can take out any player, and his worth is several million pounds, while Derby County is more than one million pounds. The players are already the absolute main force.

The two teams are not comparable at all.

The mainstream media of Derby County were not optimistic about Derby County in the first place, and they were even less optimistic when they encountered such an opponent in the first round of the league.

...

Game day is coming soon.

Derby County had been very low-key before the game. The team was training silently. No one said anything about the first round of the league. The only thing the media could know was that Derby County had been preparing for the game.

This seems like nonsense.

But this news came from a sentence Leiter said in an interview the day before the game. At that time, when he was driving home from the club, a reporter stopped him to interview and asked what the team was doing recently. Leiter replied, "We are preparing for the win over West Ham!"

And then... no more.

This is the only news the media got.

Derby County before the game looked very mysterious. When the pre-match press conference was about to start, many reporters came to the venue. Among them, there are more than a dozen reporters from London (West Ham United is located in Newham, east London), and they all came to Derby County with West Ham United.

These reporters are the ones who are most interested in the pre-match press conference.

Their interview subjects last season were all Premier League teams, but now that the team has dropped to League One, they can only change the interview subjects. Derby County is West Ham United’s first opponent, and they will naturally study this opponent. It turned out that Derby County was actually led by a young Chinese in his twenties.

This is amazing!

What kind of magic does a young Chinese in his twenties have to impress the Derby County club to hire him as the team's head coach?

They were very curious, so they all came to the press conference to interview the Chinese up close.

When the time was almost up, they saw the Chinese walk into the venue.

Everyone looked towards the door, all kinds of flashing lights were shining constantly, but Wan Sheng, who was the focus of the crowd, seemed to be calm. The handsome face shows a very different temperament from other team coaches.

Wan Sheng sat firmly on the rostrum, smiling at the reporters under the stage.

He tapped the microphone with his finger.

The sound of percussion at the scene made all the reporters quiet down. Some of them were about to stand up and ask questions, but Wan Sheng stretched out his right hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then he opened his mouth.

"Hello everyone, I'm Wansheng, the head coach of Derby County Club."

After making a basically meaningless self-introduction, Wan Sheng continued with a smile on his face, "I saw a lot of media reports before the game that Derby County's goal in the new season will be to avoid relegation, and I have a different opinion on this. View."

"Now, as the head coach of Derby County, I am here to solemnly announce that Derby County's goal for this season is..." Wan Sheng paused, feeling the stunned gaze of the reporters in the audience, and the corner of his mouth smiled. The meaning became stronger, and then he spit out the last word--

"League Championship!"

After a moment of silence, there was another uproar.

Last season, Derby County could only barely avoid relegation. Derby County, which had little investment in the summer, but sold several key players, is aiming for the league title in the new season. Is there anything more nonsense than this?

Not to mention the small Derby County, the big-named West Ham United would not dare to say that.

"How is this possible?"

"Mr. Wan Sheng, are you making a grandstanding?"

"Derby are aiming for the league title? This is the funniest joke ever!"

Watching the reporters in the audience talking, the smile on Wan Sheng's face did not change at all, he just looked at them, and soon the reporters also noticed the seriousness on the face of this young Chinese.

A West Ham United reporter stood up and asked, "Mr. Wan Sheng, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, I'm never kidding."

"This is the biggest joke! You should understand that Derby County has no strength to compete for the championship!"

"No." Wan Sheng said seriously, "I believe that my team has the ability to compete for the championship, so our goal can only be the championship!"

"Did you get the championship and relegation wrong?" The reporter still couldn't believe it and asked.

Wan Sheng shook his head, "Don't bring my IQ to the same level as yours."

The reporter was a little annoyed, he bit the corner of his mouth and sarcastically said, "Derby County wants to win the league championship? It's a dream! You should think more about how to deal with today's game! Your opponent is West Ham United!"

Wan Sheng curled his lips and said, "Yeah, West Ham United. I sympathize with their tragic relegation, but our goal is to win the championship, so I can only say sorry to them, please tell them and let them do it. Be prepared to lose, but we won't show mercy!"

"..."
