Chapter 403 I Hit You for Your Own Good

As an international star, Bergkamp certainly can not only serve as an ordinary coach.

Will he be the external image representative of the football school, do some external publicity work, and can also serve as the school's management positions, such as vice-principal? The headmaster of the football school must be Wan Sheng himself, even in honor.

He decided to invest in the construction of a football school with the aim of being the principal.

Wan Sheng decided to go to Bergkamp.

They made an appointment at the club restaurant.

Two coffees, two steaks, and a dessert...

The atmosphere seemed like a date, so it's no wonder Bergkamp asked inexplicably, "Wansheng, what are you talking about? Can't you say something in the office?"

Bergkamp felt awkward with two big men, like they were dating.

Wan Sheng sighed, "You don't understand sentiment!"

Bergkamp was drinking coffee and almost spit it out. He glared at Wansheng, and was a little helpless, "If you have anything, just say it directly."

"Dennis, you should know that my group company is investing in a football school in China." Wan Sheng smiled and then became more serious.

"Ah? I know!" Bergkamp was taken aback, he didn't expect Wan Sheng to mention this.

Wan Sheng continued, "I want to ask you, are you interested?"

"No interest! I think it's a loss-making business. Besides, I have no money." Bergkamp said decisively.

Wan Sheng twitched the corners of his mouth, "I'm asking if you are interested in working there."

In order to prevent Bergkamp from feeling that he was 'driving him away', doubting his ability to work, and thinking that he did not need him to continue to be an assistant coach, Wan Sheng explained it directly, especially mentioning going to the football school The importance of the work, and mentioned that the Tagalwan Group will give him a long-term contract no less than his current salary.

After listening to Bergkamp think.

Wan Sheng was not in a hurry, just said. "That's the way it is. You don't have to rush to make a decision. You can go back and discuss it with Henrietta. I think you will at least help me until Christmas!"

————

Only the two of them knew about the conversation between Wan Sheng and Bergkamp, ​​but it was a whole day after that. Bergkamp has always been worried. Obviously there is something on the mind.

Bergkamp isn't very good at hiding his emotions.

Diamares, who led the team to train together, quickly asked about it. Bergkamp thought about it, and then talked to Diamares and asked him to keep it a secret. After all, Bergkamp is currently Being part of the coaching staff, it's never good to let too many people know about it.

Diamares was a little envious of Bergkamp after hearing this. "Still a big star. I don't even have a choice."

"Oh?"

Bergkamp did not expect that the things that bothered him, but Diamares said that, he asked, "Why do you say that? I think you are doing better than me, and those players recognize you."

"That's because I have to do it well, Dennis," Diamares said. "I've never been a professional player. I'm not famous at all, and no one is looking for me to do commercials. It's my job to lead the team in training, and I want to To support my family, I have to make a lot of money to ensure a good life for my family, so I have to do this job well. If I want to do anything else, I have to start all over again, and it will definitely not make as much money as this job, you understand? ? Dennis."

Bergkamp nodded understandingly, but still did not understand what Diamares was trying to convey.

Diamares explained, "You're different. You're a big star, and even if you leave the coaching staff, you can easily find a job elsewhere, and it's okay to start as a professional coach. But I Think, you don't like to live and work like Wansheng?"

"Yes, I don't like it, he's too busy." Bergkamp nodded.

"You still have a lot of options. As long as it's football-related, you can easily get all kinds of invitations. You don't need to worry about job opportunities, so I envy you."

Bergkamp wondered, "What does this have to do with what Wan Sheng said?"

"Dennis, I know you don't like to make changes, it's like at Arsenal, where you have deep feelings, but it's normal for professional players to transfer, you stick to it for many years, and then you leave when you're about to retire. Now, you are working with me, without this, you will definitely choose to stay on the coaching staff, work with Wansheng, and me, for five, ten years? Or even longer? I said right Well, even if there are other seemingly better options along the way, you won't leave."

Bergkamp thought for a moment, and finally nodded, he had to admit that Diamares was right.

He likes people who are content with the status quo since he was a child, and does not like changes in the environment. Therefore, even if he had some good choices, he still insists on staying at Arsenal. Now that he has become a coach, he does not want to change anymore. He just hopes to follow Wan Sheng, working as an assistant coach.

"I don't think you need to worry about anything at all. Wansheng has arranged it for you. Go to China and pursue a new life, and your family will definitely yearn for it. You will get a big contract there and have better job opportunities. , more income than now, but more leisurely.”

"Wan Sheng is a person who will think carefully about all aspects. If he doesn't think clearly, he will definitely not tell you, so what are you worrying about? Everything is arranged, and your life will become better. it is good."

Diamares walked away after speaking and continued to watch the team practice.

Bergkamp stayed where he was, thinking all the time, and after a while, he suddenly laughed.

Bergkamp suddenly felt that he was really asking for trouble. Just like Diamares said, if he was an ordinary person, he had no other choice. Faced with this kind of job opportunity, he would definitely accept it without hesitation. And he is a former star, but what is the difference between him and ordinary people after retirement?

So in reality, he had no other choice at all.

Convincing Bergkamp to work in China is just a small episode of Manchester City's training life.

Two days later, Manchester City ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, where they faced the Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers at Manchester Stadium.

Glasgow Rangers are currently ranked second in the group with a disadvantage of goal difference. The home game against Manchester City was a draw, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Perhaps even they themselves felt very dreamy in the face of this result.

In the three rounds of group matches they have experienced, they beat the Bundesliga champion Stuttgart at home in the first round, defeated the Ligue 1 champion Lyon in the second round, and drew with the Premier League champion Manchester City at home in the third round.

The Ligue 1, the Bundesliga, the Premier League, the three championship teams, all failed to take advantage of the Glasgow Rangers.

Some British media liked to say, "Glasgow Rangers have surpassed the top five European leagues..."

Of course, just kidding.

But no matter what, the results of the Glasgow Rangers are also impressive enough. Such an excellent performance also makes the Rangers full of confidence in themselves. After the draw with Manchester City in the last round, they have won 2 games against three teams. A tie, which can be called a 'brilliant' result, also gave them 4 points more than Lyon, who placed third.

They are even more confident about qualifying for the group.

Although it was an away game, Rangers coach Smith still seemed very tough, "Manchester City is very strong. They have shown their strength at Ebrox Stadium before. In addition, they have just created a 50-round unbeaten Premier League match. Great records, but those are not reasons for us to give up. We have shown that the team is capable of doing well in the Champions League, so we will do our best."

Afterwards, Smith said half-jokingly and half-sarcastically, "I hope that Manchester City will underestimate us, so it will not be surprising that we take three points from the Manchester Stadium..."

Manchester City certainly do not underestimate Glasgow Rangers.

The last round of the group stage is still vivid in my mind. At that time, the Glasgow Rangers defended the goal with a tough defense, and the entire Manchester City team were very unwilling. That may be the influence of not sending all the main lineup, and there is also the problem of adapting to the away game, but no matter what. How to say, Glasgow Rangers held on to the draw and managed to take a point away from Manchester City.

For Manchester City, the draw with Glasgow Rangers can almost be described as 'shame'!

It's not looking down on Rangers, it's a fact.

No matter how powerful Glasgow Rangers are, they are nothing but a Scottish team, and Manchester City is the champion of the Premier League. The gap between the two leagues, the gap between the two teams, plus the historical factors of conflict between England and Scotland, in short, Manchester City drew Glasgow Rangers are regarded as a 'disgrace', not only the Manchester City team, but also the British media. They don't think the Scottish giants have the qualifications to challenge the Premier League championship.

Therefore, the British media are very concerned about this game, and they all hope that Manchester City can teach this Scottish 'madman' a lesson.

There were many voices supporting Manchester City before the game.

Wan Sheng was quick to respond after Rangers coach Smith's remarks.

"Thanks for his reminder. We have already drawn a game, of course we will not underestimate them, we will go all out in the game." Approaching Wansheng said with a serious attitude, "For us, qualifying from the group It's not a big problem, it doesn't matter if you have these three points, but considering that both Scotland and England belong to the United Kingdom, we can also be regarded as 'brothers' in the Champions League, so I think we need to beat them with a victory to wake them up. They know that the Champions League is not a team that can do well."

"After they have learned a lesson, maybe in the next two games against Stuttgart and Lyon, they will be able to perform better..."

After hearing Wan Sheng's words, the reporters who interviewed were stunned for a long time, and then all burst out laughing.

Although many people know that this Chinese has a sharp tongue, they did not expect it to be so sharp. What does he mean by this? The translation is, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. We are all thinking about you. We will use victory to educate you so that you can perform better in the future."

To put it simply and succinctly, "win you for your own good" or "hit you for your own good"... It's not surprising that the Glasgow Rangers coach Smith vomited blood after hearing this. (To be continued ~^~)
