Football: Starting with managing Manchester United

2014 5 Month 5 Day.

weather...

With a snap, Zhang Yang capped his pen and put it aside, muttering, "Who writes a diary anyway?"

Therefore, his envisioned "football bible" was aborted as soon as it was born.

The bright sunlight streamed down from the sky, shining through the glass onto him as Zhang Yang lazily lay on the chair.

He picked up the Guardian he had specially bought that morning, and unfolded it to enjoy Joseph's article.

"Well written! Truly well written!"

Zhang Yang exclaimed in admiration.

The article is a bit short; it would be better if it were a little longer.

Even better.

However, it's on another page.

Zhang Yang saw unverified rumors.

Manchester United are currently in contact with two managers: Louis van Gaal and Carlo Ancelotti.

Van Gaal has already confirmed that he will leave the Dutch national team after the World Cup.

As for Ancelotti, if Real Madrid fails to win the Champions League, Ancelotti is very likely to be sacked.

As for Van Gaal...

Rumors suggest that Van Gaal's idea of ​​selecting his own coaching staff has not been approved by Manchester United's management.

To be more specific...

Van Gaal wants to bring assistant coaches Kluivert and Blind, goalkeeping coach Hawke, fitness coach Van Dijk, and analyst Riquelse to completely replace the current Manchester United coaching staff.

This means that if Manchester United agrees...

Zhang Yang only has two choices left: either go back to coach the youth team or leave Manchester United for good.

Because none of the candidates who wanted to be assistant coaches were offered to him.

Chris Woods and his old buddies naturally faced the same choice.

Of course, this is just an unverified rumor.

Buzz!

The phone on the table vibrated, and Zhang Yang picked it up to see that it was Chris Woods.

"What's wrong?"

"Zhang, the team wants to sign Lallana from Southampton, but he's not a good fit for our tactics. Should you talk to the management about it?"

"Then let me ask."

After Zhang Yang hung up the phone, he dialed the number of the head of the transfer and recruitment department.

However, he was told that according to his contract, he had no right to interfere with the transfer.

All right...

Zhang Yang turned his head, picked up the newspaper, and carefully read it again in the sunlight.

Looks like we need to find a backup plan in advance.

In fact, he understood that Manchester United's decline to its later state was largely due to the management.

What disgusted him was that Manchester United's executive vice-chairman, Woodward, had been making empty promises to him all this time.

Just last night, after he led his team to victory, Woodward sent a message saying that the board was considering making him a permanent employee.

As a Manchester United fan, he was still very sad.

But that's all there is to it.

"Let's continue working on tactics. We have a rescheduled Premier League match in three days against Hull City, who are currently fifth from bottom..."

Zhang Yang received an email from Chris Woods to get a general understanding of the situation.

Someone once said that.

Football is a war without gunpowder.

That's right.

The saying "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated" is even more valuable.

Hull City should keep an eye on Shane Long, the Irish striker who is quite good, and Southampton are reportedly in talks with him.

However, given Manchester United's current squad and morale...

Taking Hull should not be a problem.

But to paraphrase Joseph's words.

The charm of football lies in the fact that just when you think the story has already been written, it always manages to give you a big twist.

He will not underestimate his opponent.

While he was engrossed in studying his opponent.

The phone rang again.

Seeing that it was still Chris Woods, Zhang Yang answered the call with a bad attitude.

"What's wrong?"

"Zhang, quickly read the Telegraph report! Van Persie gave an interview and said he welcomes Van Gaal to manage Manchester United!"

Chris Woods on the other end of the phone seemed very annoyed.

He speaks through gritted teeth.

"Yeah?"

Zhang Yang became interested.

No wonder Robin van Persie is one of Arsenal's four loyalists.

He had just put him on the field and paired him with Valencia, and Van Persie immediately said this.

But I can understand Zhang Yang's actions.

Because both Van Persie and Van Gaal are Dutch.

They all share the surname Fan?

Kluivert was also Van Persie's idol.

Many people now believe that they have no chance of getting a contract extension from Manchester United.

It's quite normal for Van Persie to make advances towards Van Gaal.

But it's still disgusting!

"I guess Alsena felt the same way I did back then?"

Zhang Yang thought of Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger.

Back in the day, after joining Arsenal in 2004, Robin van Persie had a breakout season in 2011-12, winning the Premier League Golden Boot.

He once said, "If anyone is still loyal to Arsenal, it's me," but in 2012 he joined Manchester United, saying he had the ambition to pursue championships.

What saddened fans even more was the match against Arsenal at Old Trafford.

Van Persie headed in Rooney's corner kick, scoring the only goal of the match.

They won the game and also halted their former team's winning streak.

This prevented the suspense in the Premier League title race from being lost too early.

Being betrayed by a former teammate was already bitter to him.

But what saddened Arsenal fans the most was Van Persie's exaggerated celebration.

"If I score against Arsenal, I will never celebrate."

Robin van Persie's vow when he joined Manchester United a year ago warmed the hearts of countless Arsenal fans.

However, he completely forgot about this promise.

He first roared and howled, then sprinted to the sidelines and performed a beautiful sliding knee slide.

Wenger should be even more disgusting.

Zhang Yang felt that if he were treated like that, he would really want to punch the person in the face.

Looking at it this way...

Wenger is really amazing.

He was able to withstand the betrayals from Na Sili, Song Gongming, Zhongyi Fa, and Fan Xiongxin.

I wouldn't be able to do it myself.

I can be very petty.

"Van Persie shouldn't play in the next game; he should focus on recovering from his injury first."

As Zhang Yang spoke, he moved the mouse and removed Van Persie's name from the list.

......

Holding a copy of "The Art of War" that he had bought from a bookstore, Zhang Yang stood in the locker room and announced the roster.

Van Persie looked up in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He was a Manchester United hero just a few days ago, and now he's been substituted by the manager?

Even though he said those things in the interview.

Zhang Yang shouldn't have acted this way.

Putting personal emotions above the interests of the team.

Why?

Van Persie couldn't help but ask.

He knew he shouldn't have asked.

But I just couldn't help it.

"Robin, your injury hasn't fully healed yet. I suggest you rest for a few more days. Don't get injured and miss the World Cup."

Zhang Yang smiled slightly.

Everyone knows that this is just an excuse.

Carrick, Fletcher, Rooney, and other veterans didn't say anything.

Because Van Persie isn't a veteran.

The young players are even less likely to stand up for Van Persie.

Van Persie took a deep breath, slammed the locker room door, and stormed out, his mind hardening...

Let's see if you can win without me.

"Alright, it seems Robin isn't in a good mood lately. Our next opponent is Hull City..."

Zhang Yang continued explaining the tactics as if nothing had happened.

His calm tone gradually soothed the Manchester United players' fluctuating emotions caused by the incident.
