Chapter 3 Millwall

Neil Khalid, a footballer-turned-coach, played at Millwall when he was retiring, and served as the head coach after retiring.

As a member of Millwall's own family, Neil Harid returned to Millwall from time to time to serve as a firefighting coach despite several twists and turns after re-playing or retiring as a coach.

Although they have not been able to lead the team to achieve very good results, but counting Millwall's team history, they still have not achieved too brilliant results.

Since the establishment of the team, they have never won a heavyweight championship. The highest honor seems to be only the runner-up of the FA Cup.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him examining himself, Yi Le's eyes were a little dull...

Neil Khalid is also looking at Yi Le, and La Masia has given him a detailed report.

Yi Le's various statistics can be said to be very good, and he is fully capable of competing in the British Championship, but the problem is that this product has a fatal flaw.

Slight mental retardation!

Thinking of this order, Neil Khalid felt a toothache, but there was nothing he could do. If Yile wasn't mentally retarded, could it be Millwall's turn? He has been directly recommended to the first team by La Masia.

From the data point of view, although Yi Le has flaws, his talent in football is worthy of recognition.

Of course, this is just a piece of data, he still needs to see is believing.

Thinking of this, Neil Halliday said with a helpless smile, "Welcome to Neil Stadium!"

Yi Le quickly put down his luggage and said excitedly, "Hello, Mr. Coach."

Neil Halliday raised his eyebrows and said, "You all call it that?"

"what?"

Yi Le froze for a moment, feeling a little puzzled.

Neil Halliday shook his head and said, "Let's go, go for a medical examination with me first, and then discuss the contract. If there is no problem, we can sign the contract."

The so-called welcome ceremony and press conference are the privileges of superstars. Yi Le is just a rookie player, not as a player on loan from La Masia or Barcelona, ​​but comes to trial training freely, so it can't be said media focus.

To put it too much, Yi Le is a defective product that was abandoned by La Masia!

 …

The physical examination went well. Yi Le's physical statistics were excellent, and his physical strength was barely able to withstand the impact of England's second-tier competition. Although it looked a little thin, Neil Harid found that Yi Le's muscles were rich in oxygen. Very explosive.

This is like a spring, the pressure he receives will become the basis for him to bottom out and rebound.

It's just that the inspection report of mild mental retardation made him anxious, and handed over Millwall's midfield scheduling power to a mentally retarded?

Neil Halliday couldn't help but heaved a long sigh, his eyes full of struggle.

After the physical examination, the technical inspection is ushered in, which is mainly divided into passing, ball feel, breakthrough, shooting and so on.

In this link, Neil Harid, who was originally full of sorrow, was amazed.

The ball is like a dancing elf under Yi Le's feet. His body style is not as clumsy as the orientals, nor as clumsy as the Europeans. In terms of foot skills, this little guy is more inclined to South American Brazilian players.

Pulling the ball, turning around, bouncing the ball, breaking through, etc., the football is like an arm, as if sticking to the opponent's feet, perfectly performing a samba dance in front of Neil Harid.

Of course, there are also problems. Yi Le's shooting has become a criticism.

This guy didn't seem to want to shoot. Under the urging of Neil Harid, he took a few shots, but the quality was not high, and the angle was not tricky enough. You know, this is an empty goal!

If it is said that Yi Le dribbles and passes like a samba dancer, then his shooting skills are like ugly dogs.

After a total of dozens of tests, three hours have passed.

"Okay, we can talk about the contract."

For Yi Le's trial training, Neil Harid was full of entanglements, but in the end he decided to keep Yi Le.

In the past three games, their defense has been tenacious, and they have an efficient pie-feeding forward, but the midfield combing has been criticized.

In the transition from the back to the front, the midfielders couldn't hold the ball and provide enough shells for their strikers.

Moreover, Millwall's two midfielders also had problems. Apson in 1989 was still young, but Abdul in 1984 was 30 years old. Age and injuries have brought his career to an end. , the club urgently needs to find a midfielder.

The arrival of Yi Le just made up for this link.

The signing process was also very smooth. Yi Le signed a one-year contract with Millwall, with a weekly salary of 1,600 pounds. As a rookie, this weekly salary is not bad.

"Dumbledore, tell the little fellow that he needs to learn English, and find an interpreter as soon as possible."

The team's assistant coach and temporary translator pushed his glasses and said calmly, "Neil, do you really think he can find a translator?"

Neil Khalid: "...Well, the club will help him find it, as well as his housing problem. The club will help him solve it together, and the fee will be deducted from his salary."

"I can do the job of translation, just give me that part of the commission." The main coach Dumbledore said lightly.

Neil Khalid turned his head and said in surprise: "Are you short of money recently?"

Dumbledore shrugged helplessly, and said, "There are three children in my family, and they are all about to go to school."

"Okay." Neil Halliday nodded and said with a smile, "Then, I will leave this child to you from now on, Mr. Nanny."

Dumbledore: "..."

Yi Le looked at the two blankly, he couldn't understand what they were talking about.

But soon, Neil Khalid was about to get up and leave, and Yi Le got up quickly...

At this moment, a sharp siren suddenly sounded from outside.

Neil Halliday and Dumbledore's expressions changed in unison. They glanced at each other and hurried to the window to look over.

Surrounding the training ground, a large number of them were bare-chested, holding Millwall's banner high in their hands, shouting loudly.

One of the leading fans was shirtless, and as he raised his arms and roared, his fat white flesh trembled like ripples.

The swollen face and the fierce expression make people feel terrified.

This is the 'Green Street Hooligans', the well-known fan organization in Millwall Club!

"My God! Lard is here too!"

Neil Khalid looked at the scene in front of him with a headache.

Numerous diehard Millwall fans surrounded the entire training ground, roaring and venting their dissatisfaction.

Millwall started as a League Two club, a boatman-founded club with no stellar record, but the Lions' loyalists stuck with them.

These fans have a classic saying 'No one likes us, but who cares! '

This is a violent fan group. Maybe the home team is not playing very well, but in terms of the combat effectiveness of the fans, the football hooligans on Green Street are extremely fierce. This fan group is extremely famous in the entire football world.

Of course, this is not a compliment!

"Bastards, what are you playing? The team is going to be relegated, we don't want to go back to the First Division!"

"That's right! We want to surpass, we want to enter the first league!"

"Millwall is not afraid, cowards, come out if you have the ability!"
