Chapter 8 The Impossible Job

Wan Sheng studied the football training master in high spirits. After being excited for half the night, he collapsed on the bed exhausted and quickly fell asleep.

He had a dream.

In the dream, it is a large football field with a podium built in the center of the field.

Wansheng took his players to the podium one by one. He walked at the front and walked up the steps step by step. Standing on the high podium, he looked at the countless figures of fans everywhere, and he felt a sense of pride. pregnancy.

The fans were shouting his name and everyone was watching him.

Everyone was applauding him.

Wan Sheng waved his hands around, causing even more enthusiastic cheers. He turned around with a smile, and received the trophy in the hands of a famous football legend under the expectation of everyone.

That trophy is so beautiful!

Gradually, the trophy turned into a beautiful woman, with a perfect face, a hot body, and that charming smile. He was hooked all over, only staring at her face, and then... he woke up.

Opening his eyes and staring at the ceiling, Wan Sheng woke up.

He knew it was a dream, a beautiful dream, but unfortunately he couldn't remember what the beautiful woman in the dream looked like.

Wan Sheng shook his head with a wry smile, checking that it was already eight o'clock in the morning. He got up quickly, got dressed and washed, and was ready to go out.

Walking on the streets of Derby Town, Wansheng had to adjust his mentality.

Despite the football training master system, despite yesterday's trophy dream, the reality that must be faced is that he is now only a temporary assistant coach of the Derby County club. To truly lead a team to the championship, he still does not know how long.

Wan Sheng will go to the first team to see Gregory in the morning, and then wait for Gregory to arrange tasks for him to be an assistant coach. He doesn't know what Gregory will arrange for him to do. He just hopes that it will be a job he likes. It's not about doing the odd things on the court.

He was a little worried.

The assistant coach is to share the work of the head coach. In general, the task of the job is to guide the training of players, arrange training tasks with the head coach, and plan games with the head coach. In short, the head coach's work content, he may be involved.

Wan Sheng is somewhat confident.

The goal he set for himself is to gain the trust of several players, so that he can open the task system, arrange training at that time, and just follow the task prompts and there will be no problem.

This is where his upgrade path begins.

...

Derby County's manager is Gregory.

Gregory is not well-known in English football, but his resume is very good. He has coached Portsmouth, Plymouth, Wycombe Rovers, and last year he coached the Premier League team Aston Villa, but in the second year of this year. He was sacked by Aston Villa in January due to his performance with the team, and he was then offered to coach Derby County.

Gregory has been in charge of Derby County for seven months now.

The summer transfer to Derby County has not changed much, but Gregory still has a little more control over the team. Most players trust him. The chairman of the team, Gee Smith, also hopes that Gregory can make the team's achievements. There can be some improvement.

No one expects Gregory to bring Derby County to the Premier League in one season, but it is good to improve some performances and rankings.

On the surface, Gregory is doing a good job at Derby County. In fact, Gregory still has some complaints about the club's chairman, Ji-Smith. He is very concerned about the right to control the team in his opponents. , instead of just leading the team to the game, the head coach of an English club should have the power to operate transfers, sign contracts, etc., that is to fully control the team.

In the summer, the team's transfer work seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Gregory didn't get a penny in the transfer fee, and Gee Smith didn't talk to him about it at all. Although the team's overall personnel didn't change much, Gregory was still dissatisfied -- he didn't buy the people he needed. , the unwanted people are still on the team.

Now after 13 rounds of League One, Derby County is only 16th in the standings.

This kind of performance is the same as last season, but Gregory attributed the reason to the summer transfer - the team has not adjusted the personnel, it is still the same batch of players, and it is normal for the performance to go up.

But after all, Gregory is the head coach, the team's performance is not good, and the pressure on him is not small.

The head coach's job is very heavy, and Derby County has only one assistant coach, so Gregory hopes to find another assistant coach to help him share the work. The assistant coach, not Gee Smith, helped him get one in.

"Twenty-five? Are you kidding?"

When he heard the news last night, Gregory was quite surprised and a little angry at the same time, even if Gee-Smith assured him 'if you are not satisfied, you can fire him at any time', he thought it was an excuse - a club president Can the assistant coach who came in can be dismissed without any reason?

Certainly not!

So when Gregory sees Wan Sheng, it's not surprising what kind of face he puts on.

"You are younger than you think." Gregory looked at Wan Sheng and said.

Wan Sheng shrugged. He didn't know how many times he had heard this sentence, "Mr. Gregory, age does not mean ability, I believe I can do this job well."

"Are you very confident?"

Gregory smiled sarcastically, then immediately shook his head and turned his head to leave, leaving only one sentence before leaving, "You first get used to the environment of the training ground in the morning, and I will arrange specific work for you in the afternoon."

"All right."

Wan Sheng was a little helpless. It could be seen that Gregory didn't like him because of his age? He was a little confused, but there was nothing he could do about it. He wouldn't try to curry favor with Gregory because of this. It wasn't something he could do, and it was hard to say whether Gregory would appreciate it or not.

Hot face sticking to cold butt, Wansheng doesn't need to do that.

Anyway, Gregory will arrange a specific job for him, he will just wait, as long as he can do a good job, Gregory may change his mind on him.

Wansheng was in the first team training ground in the morning.

Many first-team players saw him, and they initially thought that Wan Sheng was a player who came for trial training, or a fan who came in through trust. After inquiring, they found out that Wan Sheng is the new assistant coach of the team!

so young! ?

how is this possible!

They were still very interested at first, but when they saw Gregory's unhappy expression during training, and the training intensity was much higher than usual, they were not in the mood to care.

Wan Sheng watched from the sidelines of the training ground.

He wanted to be involved in helping the team in training, but Gregory and another assistant coach, Diamares, deliberately ignored him, and he had no room to intervene.

Can only wait for the afternoon.

At lunchtime, Wan Sheng ate at the club restaurant, and a black player sitting next to him greeted him, "Are you the new assistant coach?"

Wan Sheng nodded and stretched out his hand, "My first day of work today, Wan Sheng."

"Lee-Maurice, just call me Li." Maurice reached out and shook hands with Wan Sheng, and asked with interest, "How old are you, under thirty?"

"twenty five."

Wan Sheng was a little depressed, he was only twenty-five, why did many people ask him to be thirty?

Is he that old?

"How did you become a coach? You know, you are a year younger than me." Morris' eyes were full of curiosity.

Wan Sheng smiled and shook his head.

After chatting with Morris for a few words, the two knew each other, and then no one asked him to pay attention to him. Although he was about the same age as these players, after all, he was a rookie here, and he was still a coach, and few people took the initiative. take care of him.

After lunch, Wan Sheng circled around the club and returned to the first team training ground.

The afternoon training started at one o'clock, and soon the players returned to the training ground, but they were only doing ordinary training under the leadership of Yamarez, and the head coach Gregory did not show up.

Wan Sheng and so on are boring.

It wasn't until half an hour near the end of training that Gregory walked in from outside the training ground, and beside him was a short black man who was walking on his feet.

He appears to be injured.

Some of the players who were training on the field waved over, "Hey, Tyler, you're here."

"Aren't you recovering?"

"Why are you coming to the team today?"

Taylor smiled at them, didn't answer anything, just followed Gregory towards Wan Sheng, and the two walked directly to Wan Sheng, Gregory introduced, "This is Ian Taylor." Wan Sheng introduced to Taylor.

Wan Sheng looked at the black man in front of him in surprise.

Ian Taylor?

He didn't recognize it, but he still knew the name. Aston Villa's legendary star, ten years later, he went to China and participated in many activities. At that time, the football media introduced him a lot.

The two shook hands.

Gregory smiled at Wan Sheng and introduced Taylor intimately, "Wan Sheng is only 25 years old, but he is my assistant, and Mr. Smith is very optimistic about him."

Wan Sheng was surprised to hear this.

Is this guy complimenting himself? Doesn't he feel bad for himself?

Then I heard Gregory say, "Wan Sheng is very young, but his work ability is quite good. Your problem is very simple for him, and he will help you."

After saying that, Gregory walked away.

But Wan Sheng has come to understand that helping Taylor is the job Gregory gave him, but what is wrong with this guy? Need help with what?

"Can you really help me?" Ian Taylor asked suspiciously, Wan Sheng was too young, and his problems were not something ordinary people could help with.

"Tell me what is it first?"

Wan Sheng shrugged, until now he didn't know what Taylor needed his help.

Ian Taylor explained, "My right leg was injured and the doctor said I would have to rest for at least three months if I wanted to return to play. I had the surgery yesterday and I didn't want to come, but Mr Gregory said you are a resident. capable people."

"what?"

Wan Sheng still doesn't understand... He's not a doctor, what can he do about Ian Taylor's leg injury?

"I hope you can help me with some training so that I can recover faster, I don't want to rest for two months, then I will probably miss the chance to play Aston Villa in the League Cup." Ian Taylor Saying that, shrugging, showing that you understand what you mean.

Wan Sheng rolled his eyes.

I don't want to miss the game with my old club, so I need to recover quickly, understandable, but I should find a doctor. What's the use of finding him as an assistant coach.

"The doctor said it was possible to train to speed up the recovery, but it would take a very professional coach to do that, and Mr Grigory said you could."

Wan Sheng thought of his mother when he heard it.

He finally understood why Grigory praised him. It turned out that this guy dug such a hole to make himself jump, and used training to make an injured player recover faster? He had never heard of such a thing.

This is simply impossible work!
