Chapter 9 The Greatest Luck in a Century

Just when Pierce was 'unlucky', Wan Sheng had also arrived in the town of Great Derby and directly found Gael Diamares' home.

Diamares did not go on vacation, but stayed at home with his wife, Gabriela, enjoying a rare leisure life. He thought that Wansheng would invite him to coach Manchester City together, but he did not expect Wansheng to actually find him. , so when he saw Wan Sheng, he was still very stunned.

"Wan Sheng? You're not in Manchester?"

Wan Sheng laughed, "I'm here to find you, Gail!"

Diamares hurriedly let Wan Sheng enter the room, and called Gabriela to entertain the guests. The two couples were not disturbed on weekdays, and they were still very warm to the guests who came to the house.

"You should know what I'm here for you, Gal!" Wan Sheng sat on the sofa and spoke directly to the point.

Diamares thought about it, "Seriously, Wansheng, I haven't thought about it yet, and I haven't told Gabriela yet."

"Then you can say it now." Wan Sheng said seriously, "Or for me, Gail, I need you to help me. It's better for you to leave with me than to stay here."

At this time, Gabriela was walking in with two drinks. She heard the conversation between the two and suddenly said, "Gail, I know what you want to discuss with me, and I have already made a decision for you!"

"what?"

The two men in the room looked over.

Gabriela put the drink on the table and said to Diamares, "Gail, you've always been like this, mother-in-law, you can't make up your mind about what to do, so I've already figured it out for you. Think about it, How much money could you make three years ago? How much money can you make now? Your salary has more than doubled, and now Wansheng has left. Your contract with the club is only until the end of next year, how can the team perform by then? Sure, but you mustn't get that much salary, can you imagine doubling your salary?"

Gail was stunned, he really didn't think about this question.

Salary doubled?

No one wants this. If the salary has not gone up. Naturally, it doesn't matter, but it has already doubled, and then it suddenly drops, it is absolutely unacceptable.

Diamares felt that what his wife had said was absolutely right.

Looking at Diamares' expression, Wan Sheng smiled, although he knew that it would be the result in the end, he still didn't expect that it would be his wife Gabriela who persuaded Diamares.

Wan Sheng and Gabriela are not familiar with each other. But she knew she was very assertive. A woman who complements Diamares' personalities, and they fit well together.

"Thank you, Gabriela, it seems that I don't need to say more." Wan Sheng said.

Gabriela didn't even look at Diamares, and said directly to Wan Sheng, "Then I'll hand him over to you. I'll go to Manchester with me, but I don't want our living standards to drop. it should be no problem?"

"Of course there is no problem." Wan Sheng replied affirmatively.

The fate of Diamares was decided in a few words between the two. This made the latter feel awkward and uncomfortable, but he didn't want to question Gabriela. All I can do is curse, "Damn!"

But in the end Wansheng still asked him to shake hands, "Happy cooperation!"

"Damn... happy cooperation!" Diamares clapped Wansheng's hand hard, and it was a reluctance to negotiate.

......

After Wansheng and Diamares negotiated, they called Walton Cooper directly.

Walton Cooper isn't the type of coach who stands out in a certain way, but he's still very capable, and he can do a good job in training, tactical planning, and other tasks on weekdays.

Wan Sheng hopes that Walton Cooper can also follow him to Manchester.

As long as Walton Cooper goes with him, then he is his own direct descendant and a member of his own coaching staff. He is not as important as Diamares, but he is still much better than someone he doesn't know. He can Helping myself a lot, as an assistant coach is still very qualified.

Another important reason is that Wan Sheng always felt that only three people could make up a coaching staff. Only he and Diamares always felt a little bit of a 'bare commander'.

But Wansheng's invitation ultimately failed.

Walton Cooper doesn't have much ambition. He prefers to have a stable life than to make more money. He has no choice but to leave Wimbledon. Now he comes to work in Derby County, he feels The life here is relatively stable, the club's treatment is also good, and it is very close to London, and he does not want to go to Manchester in the north.

"Wan Sheng, thank you for inviting me, I also know that going to Manchester is a good opportunity for me, as long as you are there, there will definitely be my place there and Manchester City will offer me a higher salary. ...but I need more stability, Manchester is so far away..."

"My wife Tasha works in London, my son goes to school in London, if I go to Manchester, it will be very troublesome, I can't let Tasha choose to quit for my career, if you choose the closer ball Team, I might have agreed to follow you without thinking about it, but Manchester...I can only say sorry, that was too far..."

"I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future!" Walton Cooper finally sighed.

Wan Sheng thought that Walton Cooper might not agree, but he didn't expect that the reason would be for his wife's work and family. Hearing this reason, he could only smile wryly and sigh, Cooper is a good man, Unlike him, a prodigal son without a home... But there is no way, in the end Wansheng had to give up Walton Cooper, as the other party said, let's work together again if there is a chance.

Walton Cooper is not as decisive as Diamares. Since he is so methodical, he must have made up his mind. Wansheng does not need to persuade him any more. good luck.

After that, Wan Sheng took Diamares back to Manchester.

......

"We are delighted to have Mr Wan Sheng as head coach of the team. He led Derby County to the Premier League title last season and we hope he can lead Manchester City to glory..."

"Let's welcome Wansheng...and his coaching team..."

In the conference room of Manchester City Club, the club press officer shouted loudly to all the media reporters who came. Following his words, Wan Sheng and Diamares also walked into the venue together.

This is Wan Sheng's first official press conference since joining Manchester City. Still more important and crucial.

There are more reporters coming.

Manchester City is a much more famous team than Derby County, and in Manchester, Manchester City is more popular than its arch-rival Manchester United. More Manchester fans believe that only the traditional Manchester City can represent the city. Manchester United is more of a world team. A team that doesn't belong in Manchester at all.

Many of these reporters are local Manchester reporters. It is worth mentioning that they are close to Manchester City, and Manchester United are absolute enemies.

For Manchester local media reporters, they still hope to have a deeper understanding of Wansheng.

The signing ceremony was just a ceremony, and Wansheng also answered some questions. But the questions are prescribed. Even what Wan Sheng said was pre-arranged. That kind of interview was of no value at all. Only through face-to-face interviews like this can we get to know a person more deeply.

At close range, Wansheng is very young!

Although some media reporters were prepared, they were still quite surprised. In fact, they knew about Wansheng. They are also more in the news, they are not Derby County media after all. It’s hard to see Wansheng often. Among these media reporters, it’s good to have seen Wansheng two or three times. That was when Derby County met Manchester City or Manchester United, and most of the interviews could only be post-match press releases. meeting.

Therefore, the general media reporters' understanding of Wansheng is only young, leading the team with good results, Chinese, etc., which tend to be superficial things. The media in Manchester naturally want to have a deeper understanding of Wansheng.

"What is this Chinese like?"

"Is his character really what other media say?"

More importantly, "How much of his achievements depend on his ability?"

"Is he really good? Can he give Manchester City a good future?"

and many more.

These are the questions that the Manchester media are eager to know, so they all looked carefully at Wan Sheng who stepped onto the podium and wanted to hear what he would say when he came up.

Wan Sheng walked to the rostrum and sat down, he glanced down at the stage, then coughed twice, pressing his hands down.

Everyone understood the meaning of this action, and the venue immediately became much quieter.

Wan Sheng opened his mouth, but no one thought that his first words would be to introduce his 'assistant', "This is Gael Diamares, he is a very good coach, and he will be at Manchester City in the future. Working with me, I'm delighted that he's coming to Manchester with me."

After speaking, Wan Sheng stood up and applauded.

Diamares walked in with Wan Sheng, and sat down with Wan Sheng. He was always by Wan Sheng's side, but in fact, almost no one paid attention to him. Even if he did, he only thought he was probably Manchester City Club. a staff member or an ordinary official?

Assistant Coach! ?

In fact, this kind of identity is no different from the previous two. It is not the focus of media attention after all, but Wansheng introduced it very seriously, so many cameras were also given to Diamares.

Many people in the audience also applauded with Wan Sheng.

This made Diamares a little flattered. In fact, he did not know how many times he had imagined that he would one day get the attention of many people. Now that this moment has come true, he is a little grateful to Wansheng, but he is a little overwhelmed. .

When he was ignored just now, his heart was still very dull, even normal, and he was completely unprepared for the attention.

Diamares didn't say anything, he just gave a stiff smile.

But the media reporters off the stage felt that this guy might have some skills. Doesn't it mean that capable coaches have unique personalities? Look at this guy's weird expression... as you can imagine.

Then it was Wansheng's turn to speak formally.

Wan Sheng stood up and carefully glanced at the reporters under the stage. Some of these faces were familiar, while most of them were completely unfamiliar. It was conceivable that this was a new environment for him.

But even if he changed the environment, he was still the head coach of the team, and the group of people in the audience were still media reporters.

The face has changed, but the identity has not changed, how much difference will there be?

Wan Sheng smiled.

He remembered everything he had faced, especially when he replaced Gregory to coach Derby County more than two years ago. At that time, he attended a press conference for the first time. This group of guys with journalist status brought him nothing but doubts. Still doubt.

Now, not many people question themselves face to face.

This is an improvement.

There are certainly still a lot of people who doubt their coaching abilities, but that's not the majority.

But Wansheng can still see doubt in the eyes of most people. This is not to doubt his ability, but to doubt whether he is so young and has so little coaching experience, whether he can steer the big ship of Manchester City! ?

Manchester City is not Derby County after all!

When Wansheng took over Derby County, Derby County was only a team on the verge of relegation in the second league. Unlike Manchester City, Manchester City has always been a powerhouse in the Premier League. Even if they were relegated a few years ago, no one doubted their strength. It's development, just because they're Manchester City, the team 'representing Manchester' as a city, and there are enough fans to support them.

Such a team is much better than 'countryside' Derby County, and it is much more difficult for a manager to manage such a team.

Can this Chinese really do it?

Many reporters in the audience had doubts in their hearts. Although they didn't say it, their eyes still revealed their thoughts. If only one person had such thoughts, Wansheng would not be able to see them. But many people have similar thoughts. The idea, Wansheng can feel it from the eyes of many.

Immediately, he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "First, I believe that being able to invite me to coach will be the greatest luck in the century-old history of Manchester City..."

This sentence caused an uproar in the audience.

The Manchester City press officer's scalp was numb, and Diamares' expression became stiffer.

Many local Manchester reporters immediately wanted to ask questions, but before Wan Sheng’s words were finished, he pointed to a middle-aged reporter in the front row and continued, “Second point, this Bran from the “Daily Mirror” Mr. De, I recognized you at a glance, you should know that we have a feud, and we have never resolved it, so I think I have the right to let the team I coach refuse your interview."

Brand became livid.

He thought that the Chinese would definitely be more restrained when he came to Manchester City, but he did not expect the other party to call out his name so directly in public, and said that he would refuse his interview in the future.

At this moment, Brand has the heart to rush to bite him to pieces... (To be continued ~^~)
