Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 575 Real Madrid like this is really interesting!
Zhang Yang didn't have the slightest interest in the wonderful process. He almost fell asleep sitting on the seat. He would only be refreshed when things were related to Millwall, and he would be a little listless at other times.

The speed of the draw ceremony is quite satisfactory.

Graham first won the 'Best Goalkeeper' award, then the Best Defender title fell to Chelsea centre-back Terry, and the 'Best Midfielder' was awarded to AC Milan's Kaka.

This is a pity.

Zhang Yang felt that it was a bit unfair, because Morris deserved to win the best award. Last season, Morris was the core of Millwall. He played almost all the Champions League games, and his performance was quite outstanding. Morris was also a little disappointed.

Zhang Yang thought about it, and comforted him, "Don't worry."

Morris didn't know why.

Next is the 'Best Forward', of course, the top scorer Darren Bent. It is a pity that Darren Bent is no longer a Millwall player. He came by himself. Spurs did not qualify for the Champions League.

When Darren Bent accepted the award, almost all the cameras were aimed at Zhang Yang, and the media wanted to see Zhang Yang's expression.

They were all disappointed.

Zhang Yang was very enthusiastic. He kept clapping his hands. When Bent looked over, he gave him a thumbs up.

"you're great!"

That's what the media interprets.

Darren Bent also smiled back, and he even waved at Zhang Yang. The two didn't seem to have a disharmonious relationship because Bent left, but it seemed like Bent was still in Millwall.

The media is somewhat confused.

Generally, when star players leave, they will have a bad relationship with the original head coach. The most typical one is David Beckham. Perhaps because of the conflict with Ferguson, he chose to leave Manchester United and join Real Madrid.

Darren Bent has left Millwall, how can he have such a good relationship with Zhang Yang?

In fact, Zhang Yang regretted Bent's departure, but he let out a long breath.

Vardy is great!
As the saying goes, 'one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers', Bent and Vardy must have to make a choice. It would be too difficult for Zhang Yang to choose. Bent's decision to leave is actually good news.

This season, the Millwall striker cannot be said to be stronger than last season, but the configuration must be more scientific. The addition of Luca Toni has given the team a high center forward. Suarez and Weston are also very good. Replacement candidate.

If Bent hadn't left, the team would definitely not have invited Luca Toni, and it would be impossible for Suarez to join.

That's what happens up front.

Zhang Yang felt more relaxed than regretful about Bent's departure, so naturally he would not have any conflicts with Bent.

Now that Bent received the 'Best Forward' award, he also applauded with satisfaction. After all, Bent won the award while playing for Millwall, which is also the glory of Millwall.

Halfway through the above awards, Millwall's group also came out.

The team was placed in Group C.

The first team in the same group is Real Madrid, and the third team is Lazio.

This grouping made Zhang Yang breathe a sigh of relief. When it comes to the five seeded teams that may be encountered, Real Madrid is considered easy to play. Meeting AC Milan, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona are all tragedies. , The two rounds will definitely be difficult to play and will bring more pressure to the team.

After that, the "best player award" also came out. This award will almost certainly be awarded to the champion team. Not beyond publicity's expectations, Morris became the 'best player'.

'Best Player' is definitely better than 'Best Midfielder' and is the highest award in the draw.

Zhang Yang felt relieved for Morris.

Watching Morris go to the stage to receive the trophy, while Zhang Yang was happy, he also thought regretfully, "Maybe this is his peak."

Morris, that's all there is to it.

Morris is about to be 30 years old, and his status is still one aspect. The important thing is that his ability will hardly increase. He can be regarded as a top midfielder, but if he wants to win more advanced awards, the level of "top" is not enough. He must become "Super player".

Morris is certainly not up to the "super" level.

It is quite remarkable to be able to win the "best player" in the Champions League now. The next football will be the world of young people, and it is the same in the Millwall team. The younger Braniff and Sneijder have both. Opportunities explode, and their performance will be even more dazzling than Morris.

In the Millwall team, the performance has become dim, and in the whole of Europe, the attention will naturally be much less.

This is also impossible.

In Zhang Yang's regret for Morris, the "Best Coach" award also came out.

The host shouted out the name, "The best coach is..."

"Millwall's head coach! Zhang Yang!"

All the cameras pointed at the audience, Zhang Yang stood up with a smile, waved to everyone, and then walked to the podium.

A well-known football guest presented a small trophy to Zhang Yang, and then the host asked, "You are only 24 years old, standing on this stage, how does it feel to be honored to represent the European coach? Any thoughts? I think , most people are interested in what you have to say."

Zhang Yang said frankly, "I think most people are interested in my age, because I am very young, and it is unbelievable to receive the coach's award, but I think it is nothing."

"Many people think the work of a football coach is too complicated. Perhaps interpersonal communication and club management do require a lot of experience, but the work of a coach is more about formulating tactics and strategies, formulating strategies for preparing for games, and leading the entire team. The team competes with the opponent."

"It requires experience, but talent is also very important. Just like many outstanding professional players, there is no prospect of being a coach, but some people who have no professional player experience can become excellent coaches. The reason is talent. , hard work, and thinking, and so on.”

"If we regard the work of coaching as a kind of scientific research work, it will be much simpler. Leading the team is very complicated, and football tactics are also very complicated, but no matter how complicated it is, can it surpass scientific research? Those complicated things Formulas, complex mathematics, physics, and astronomy issues, ordinary people will look at it."

Zhang Yang made a headache expression as he spoke, which made many people on the scene laugh, and then continued, "In the field of scientific research, the amount of knowledge required is huge, but many scientists are young when they produce research results, 30 years old? 40 years old? I remember seeing a statistic that it is easy to produce research results when you are in your 30s. When you are older and have a fixed thinking, it is difficult to research amazing things. I don’t know much about this aspect, maybe It's not right either."

"If you deduce it according to this, football is much simpler than science, and it is nothing if you can win awards in your 20s."

"So don't be surprised that I can get the coaching award. It's just that the football world has always had strict requirements on the age of the coaching industry."

Zhang Yang glanced at the audience, continued to smile and said, "For example, a 20-year-old young man, even if he has obtained the A-level coaching certificate issued by FIFA, it is difficult to find a formal job at the youth team level. "

"Some older people, even if they have only obtained basic certificates, are easy to gain trust, because people subconsciously feel that they will have more experience when they are older."

"So I think that the football coaching industry should treat young people more preferentially and give them more opportunities."

"That's it."

While everyone in the audience was thinking, Zhang Yang walked down with a smile.

Many people gave thumbs up.

Then there was a lot of applause at the venue. It came from fans, personnel from various clubs, and many guests at the venue. They all affirmed what Zhang Yang said.

To a certain extent, what Zhang Yang said was not accurate, but he had something new to say. Few people would say that and think about it this way. Zhang Yang's words led many people to think from another angle.

This is the key.

----

As the guests drew lots to arrange Fenerbahce and Dynamo Kyiv in Group G and Group F respectively, the results of the group draw were all released.

In the end, the four teams in Group C were Real Madrid, Millwall, Lazio and Olympiacos.

Zhang Yang feels that the results of this group are not too bad, at least he is not in a more difficult group, such as Chelsea's group, which includes Valencia, Schalke 04 and Rosenborg.

Chelsea and Valencia are the first and second tier teams. Let’s not talk about it for now. Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga is definitely not easy to deal with. Compared with Lazio, it is more troublesome. Norway’s Rosenborg It's like adding a head.

In addition, among the third-tier teams, there are also teams that are difficult to deal with, such as CSKA Moscow, Sporting Lisbon, and Stuttgart. In comparison, Lazio is still a good opponent.

Seeing the result of the lottery, Pierce also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Real Madrid and Lazio, we have less pressure to qualify."

Others, including Wilkinson and several players, looked at Pierce.

Pierce was a little baffled.

Wilkinson laughed, "Stewart, you have no confidence in the team. In fact, no matter what group we are in, I believe the team can qualify!"

"Yes, there is no problem qualifying!" Morris followed closely.

Everyone else looked at Zhang Yang, including Pierce. Zhang Yang smiled and said, "This is not a suitable place to shout slogans, but it shouldn't be difficult to qualify."

As soon as the words fell, a cold snort came from the side, and said in sloppy English, "Young man, don't speak too much."

Zhang Yang turned his head and saw that it was Calderon, the chairman of Real Madrid.

Or, it should be called "Mr. Calderon".

Zhang Yang would not have any respect, he turned to look at Wilkinson with a blank face, pointed at Calderon and said, "Who is he? Your friend? Sorry, so to speak, but his English seems not very good .”

Calderon's face suddenly darkened, and there was a group of Real Madrid people next to him. Among them, the new head coach Schuster was the one who attracted the attention. He walked over without hesitation, and Schuster took the initiative to shake hands, "Hello, Zhang Yang, it's a pleasure to meet you. The results you have led Millwall have attracted the attention of the world. If there is a chance, I really hope I will share with you the experience and experience related to coaching.”

Zhang Yang replied with a smile, "I also hope to have time to communicate with you. I have heard your name since I was young."

The conversation between the two seemed enthusiastic.

However, Schuster immediately interrupted this enthusiasm, "You are very successful, but you are still young. I think you should remind you that you should have more respect for Mr. Calderon. He is a worthy man. gentlemen."

Zhang Yang opened his mouth for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Schuster said hello and left. Zhang Yang stood there and looked at his back, suddenly thinking that he should reply, "You look younger than me."

Is there anyone who speaks like that!
This guy really doesn't know how to communicate with others. The atmosphere was pretty good, but he just got stuck in a word.

Zhang Yang has a little understanding of why Schuster always fails in coaching.

Zhang Yang doesn't know much about Schuster, but he is generally clear that this guy was famous in his playing days and was the best player in West Germany at the time. When he played for Barcelona, ​​his salary was second only to his teammate Maradona. Maradona's direct rival.

Before the arrival of Maradona, Schuster was the most important player in Barcelona. When he came to Barcelona, ​​the season had already started for two months. Barcelona was nearly 10 points behind Real Madrid. Schuster's The arrival set off the banner of Barcelona's revival. Although they did not win the championship in the end, they finally surpassed Real Madrid in points.

Schuster was in full swing in Barcelona, ​​and soon he found his status changed because Maradona came.Maradona joined Barcelona with the title of the world's most valuable, and later Menotti took over, Schuster's role was a bit marginalized.

However, the Argentine gang miscalculated.

The arrival of Maradona did not bring the championship, and Menotti said "we will win the championship by 10 points", which turned out to be the laughing stock of Spain.

In the 1982-83 season, Barcelona only won the Copa del Rey, and in the final, Schuster was better than Maradona in terms of performance and role, but Schuster was not lucky. In the team.

As long as the Argentine is not injured, Schuster has to be on the bench from time to time.

In the 1983-84 season, Barcelona was empty-handed and got nothing. Maradona went to Naples immediately.

After Maradona left, Barcelona finally established Schuster's core position and appointed him as the team captain.

Next, the Barcelona league was in full swing and won the championship one month in advance. The important thing is that Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-0 and 3-2.

Schuster is hailed as another "real Barcelona master" after Kubala, Suarez and Cruyff.

There is also a very interesting story about Schuster's national team career. Schuster, who was only 23 years old, followed his wife Jiabi's advice and quit the national team on the grounds of "taking care of his family" in order to fight against the current situation. Dissatisfied with his transfer to Barcelona, ​​and the former West Germany coach De Waal who was temporarily removed from his name.

Before the 1986 World Cup, De Waal's successor Franz Beckenbauer begged Schuster to return to the national team, but his wife, Gabi, who was Schuster's agent, took this opportunity to ask the Football Association for up to 100 million Deutsche Marks appearance fee.

Faced with such jaw-dropping conditions, the former chairman of the West German Football Association, Neuberger, actually succumbed.

The stories of the above clubs and national teams are enough to prove the brilliance of Schuster's player career.

After retiring, Schuster served as a football coach. Contrary to being a professional player, he can almost be described as a 'failure'. Perhaps he had a little success in Getafe. With Real Madrid's "find Without the opportunity of "Capello's replacement", relying on the qualifications of playing for Barcelona and Real Madrid in the past, he directly became the head coach of Real Madrid.

Schuster's past coaching career can be described as a failure.

This is deterministic.

Schuster's coaching career does not match his star career at all. He is the kind of top star who the national team pays to get in. After retiring as the head coach, he can only coach some small clubs, and he is often considered Failed, repeatedly kicked out.

Why is that?
According to the general logic, if the world's top stars retire as head coaches and condescend to coach small clubs, the results will not be too bad, right?

Now Zhang Yang understands a little bit.

This guy's personality and speech are very strange, and he can't communicate with others at all. Maybe he will annoy the club's senior management?Or communicating with ordinary players is a serious problem.

The work of a head coach is different from that of a professional player. It doesn’t matter if you have strong ability. You have to let the players listen to you, and they have to do what you say. Pointless.

"Maybe that's it?" Zhang Yang thought, "This kind of Real Madrid... is really interesting!"
